"Tiandi Temple, your Asgrid City is really interesting. It's already 2077, and there are still such antiques from hundreds of years ago."
Alfred walked all the way north, chatting with the audience while admiring the increasingly rich folk customs.
But let alone him, even the audience in the barrage looked weird at this time. After all, for people of this era, this kind of modular city has basically disappeared with the popularity of modular cities decades ago. The decoration style, which can basically only be seen in special themes in virtual communities, is really rare to see.
But just as everyone was discussing architectural style and practicality, Alfred's terminal suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised:
"The manager's call couldn't have been delayed until now, right?"
With a burst of laughter in the barrage, he answered the phone. Before he could say "Hello", the person on the other end shouted:
"Alfred, where are you now? Go back to the company quickly!"
Alfred had such an expression on his face that he was not used to it at all and said, "Who are you? I'm off work. I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do."
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Party A just called. They have put forward new suggestions for modifications to the plan you sent before. Come to the company quickly!"
The manager's voice was very urgent, but Alfred ignored it at all and said slowly:
"Sorry, I don't work overtime. I'll talk about it after I get to work tomorrow. If you really can't wait, just change it yourself first."
"You don't now..."
"[Beep——]!" Without waiting for the manager's threat to come out, Alfred directly hung up the communication, then opened the terminal operation interface, and set the manager's number to be blocked during off-duty hours in front of all the viewers.
"It's done, the guy with the bad mood has been dealt with, let's move on."
Alfred clapped his hands as if he had dealt with some cockroaches and flies, and walked towards the Tiandi Temple in the distance with a calm expression. There was an uproar in the barrage.
[Fuck, even though I know this is all fake, but I feel so happy watching it, what should I do? 】
[Why do I still feel happy knowing that the host’s confidence lies in his money? 】
[Sense of immersion, the anchor has added a sense of immersion. 】
[The anchor understands empathy. 】
…
A lot of [knowledge] rushed towards Feng Xue along with the barrage, but he did not hesitate to throw them into the fire of strange stories. This time he did not intend to make any strange stories, or in other words, with his current situation. Character design, whether it is to create a second generation or to be a worker, is of no benefit. Instead, it is easy to add various weaknesses to oneself.
After a slight adjustment of his mentality, he resumed Alfred's character. At this time, an archway with the three characters "Tiandi Temple" appeared in front of him.
Yes, Tiandi Temple is not an ancestral hall, but the name of a neighborhood. On this street, there are all kinds of stores and stalls, ranging from gambling on stones and seeds to antique seals. It feels like a ghost market in an antique street.
Although this was at the beginning of the 21st century, a place that existed in every city with a bit of history, in this world, it is quite rare. Cybermen are accustomed to online shopping and at most go to physical stores and specialty stores. Looking at various street stalls, making all kinds of ridiculous barrages, Alfred had a weird expression and whispered:
"It's a little different from what I imagined."
As he spoke, he walked towards a stall with unknown small boxes on it and said:
"What are you selling?"
"Dali Pills." The stall owner glanced up at Alfred and uttered a term that was somewhat unfamiliar to the Cybermen. Then he saw a confused look on his face and said:
"This thing can cure all diseases. As long as it's not missing arms or legs or digging out the heart, it can cure even cyberpsychosis!"
【What are you bragging about! 】
[That is, Rheinland Life and Loken Water Tanks have been researching for many years, but they have not found out about the final patient's mental illness. Do you dare to say that a street stall can cure it? 】
【Liar? 】
[You’re a liar at first glance! 】
The barrage surged wildly, Alfred also shook his head and said:
"I heard that the Tiandi Temple sells souvenirs? Do you know where they are?"
"Souvenirs?" The person setting up the stall rolled his eyes, and then said with a puzzled expression:
"You are young, why are you so anxious? If you are unable to do what you want, it is definitely better to eat two of my balls than to spend that unjust money!"
"Just tell me where it is!" Alfred's expression was slightly stiff, but the man pointed to the north side of the street and said:
"Go straight ahead. There are three facades. Go to Bing Tai Sui Palace, ask for fortune, go to Yisuan Hall, and find Xiu Taibai Mansion. My Daliwan is made from the flesh. Although it is mixed with ingredients, the price is cheap, not to mention If you have any problems that require visual treatment, first of all, the price is beyond the reach of ordinary wage earners."
"Thank you." Alfred nodded after hearing this and immediately walked towards the north of the street, saying as he walked:
"From what this stall owner said, there are three main products of Tiandi Temple, namely 'Qubing', 'Questioning Life' and 'Xunji'. From what he said, Dali Pills are related to Taisui Palace, so the so-called Qubing must be true. Treat diseases, but ordinary medical treatment programs are definitely not carried out in illegal areas. I guess there may be some tricks in it."
[Is it organ hunting? 】
[Stop making trouble, if you really want to transplant, whether it is a bionic organ or a clone, isn't it better than someone else's? Have you watched too many medical dramas in the past? 】
[Yes, but speaking of medical shady stories... could it be smuggled drugs or smuggled equipment? 】
[Perhaps it is a counterfeit drug that has gone beyond the patent? 】
"Anyway, just go and take a look and you'll find out." Alfred used a trumpet to guide the audience, while he came to the end of the street, looked at the three shops that looked more like shrines than stores, and took the lead in walking in. Tai Sui Palace with the largest number of people.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a row of windows similar to the registration desk of a hospital. There are young ladies sitting inside, constantly handing out large and small bags to the paying guests.
Seemingly noticing that Alfred had no intention of purchasing directly, a woman in a professional skirt who was wandering in the hall came up and said with a professional smile: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"What are they selling here?"
Although Alfred's question felt a bit like "going to the hospital to ask what can be done here", the young lady showed considerable professionalism and explained in a soft voice:
"Taisui Palace sells pork meat, which has a smooth and tender taste and a refreshing taste. It can activate cell totipotency and has extremely high medicinal and nourishing value..."
[Fuck, what did you think it was! Isn't it a rare animal? 】
【That's it? That's it? That's it? 】
Looking at the restless barrage, Alfred had a thought and saw a man with a mechanical prosthetic right hand taking a fist-sized package from the counter next door.
However, he did not leave in a hurry like the others. Instead, he tore open the package directly in the store and stuffed the meatballs inside that looked like pale pink konjac into his mouth.
[Fuck, this look, could it be a dopamine-like supplement? Isn’t that stuff exclusive? 】
As soon as this sentence popped up on the barrage, the other half-way barrages had already stopped in the input box, because at this moment, all the viewers fell into a state of confusion——
In front of their eyes, the mechanical right hand of the man who had eaten the "seeing meat" fell to the ground for no reason. With a burst of flesh sprouts squirming, his missing arm actually grew out!
Regarding the issue of using banknotes...
This involves an issue of regulatory difficulty.
In an era where online payments are extremely developed, the use of banknotes speaks for itself.
The simplest point is that no records will be left. This is the same as black market transactions do not use bank transfers but directly bring a box of money. The same is true for virtual currencies. Why are virtual currencies valuable? Isn’t it because it can help black market transactions?
Even if you change the type of digital payment, such as using Q coins, happy beans, or rough stones, traces will be left online, but cash will not.
For example, trading with digital independent currencies is like charging money to buy props in a mobile game, and then using the props to draw cards. It is essentially a side project. Although it seems to have circumvented the regulations, if you want to check, your turnover will still be checked one by one. allow.
Just like if you are selling something like astringent or white elephant medicine, it is normal to pay online, because this thing is a matter of "getting caught or stepping on the sewing machine".
But if you are smuggling a batch of iced American style from Nanbang, it is a bit unthinkable to use online payment, and it is not just you who can't figure it out, but everyone on the entire route.
Of course, smuggling American ice cream, which deserves to be cut to pieces, is just unthinkable.
