Blackstone Town (5)

It was unknown who started it, but cheers came from the crowd. A group of young men and women seemed to have seen their idol, and they clapped excitedly with tears in their eyes.
Li Bo, who was standing at the side, looked at Zhao Yu with a smile. He seemed to be quite satisfied with his family’s arrangement.
Zhao Yu’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to reality.
A limousine had already opened its door. Li Bo stood at the side and extended his hand.” Zhao Yu, please!”
The interior of the car was luxuriously decorated with golden light. Even the armrest of the sofa was sewn with the fur of some unknown demon beast It was smooth and luxurious, and it was very comfortable to put one’s arm on. “Not bad!”
Zhao Yu leaned comfortably on the sofa.
It had been a long time since he had felt so comfortable in this world.
“Zhao Yu, what would you like to drink?” Li Bo smiled when he saw that Zhao
Yu was satisfied. He opened the fridge and asked.
“Let me introduce you to our specialty drinks first…”
Zhao Yu had a simple taste. In fact, he had already eaten a full meal before he advanced.
Because he was afraid that he would be teleported to an uninhabited area in the desert, he had specially stored some food and water in his storage space. Now it seemed that he had worried too much.
The car was very stable and there was almost no jolt. They arrived at the place in about ten minutes.
At the same time, after Li Bo’s introduction, Zhao Yu also had some understanding of Blackstone Town.
For example, the temple was the center of Blackstone Town, and the entire Blackstone Town was expanded. There were a total of three ring roads, and within the first ring, there was a commercial center and a small number of residential areas.
The people of the five great Families basically lived in the First and Second Ring Area. The rest of the ordinary people were scattered between the Second and Third Ring Road.
The house that the Li family had arranged for Zhao Yu was in the first ring not far from the temple. It was an independent villa surrounded by a garden that was dozens of meters long. There were also guards from the Li family patrolling outside, so there was no problem with safety.
“Here, we basically use beast coins as the currency. It’s the kind of coin that drops from killing beasts…”
” Take our Blackstone Town for example. We have officially issued paper and digital currency. We can go to the bank to exchange for Tier 1 and Tier 2 coins…”
Zhao Yu’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He took out a zero coin from his pocket and asked,” Don’t you want this coin?!”
Li Bo recognized it at a glance. He shook his head, “Zero tier coins. This is the currency of your lower realm. We can’t use it here…”
“Tier 1 coms can only be used between towns, because Tier 1 coins can be exchanged for some weapons and equipment in the temple after all…” he explained.
“However, in a big city like the Moon City, you have to at least use a Tier 2 coin They don’t accept Tier 1 coins there…”
“Therefore, if you want to leave Blackstone Town in the future, it is best to exchange for Tier 2 coins…”
“I’ve already received a notice from the elder. During the period of time you’re staying in our Li family, you can enjoy a monthly allowance of 10,000 …” “10,000 is equivalent to 10,000 first tier coins, which is equivalent to 100 second tier coins.” he explained.
Zhao Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he could use Tier 1 coins. He thought that the 1.2 million Tier 1 coins in his storage space were going to be useless like Tier o coins.
“What’s the purchasing power of 10,000?!”
Zhao Yu asked casually.
Li Bo smiled, “The average monthly salary in Blackstone Town is eight hundred, which is definitely enough for normal expenses…”
“But don’t worry, anything you want, just ask. We have plenty of family businesses, no need to spend money…”
After saying this, Li Bo also handed Zhao Yu a smartphone, “This is the phone provided by our family, with the last eight digits of the number being eights…” “Of course, it can only be used in the town, as we are on a local network here, and it won’t work once you leave the town…”
Zhao Yu took the phone and glanced at it. The apps on it were similar to those in reality, including entertainment and chat tools, as well as a digital bank card tied to his name, showing a balance of ten thousand.
Zhao Yu played with the phone for a while, which featured many functions including an app similar to TikTok and a chat tool similar to WeChat, and the content was primarily related to Blackstone Town.
Is there no network that can connect to Moon City here?!”
“No, Blackstone Town is five thousand kilometers from Moon City, it’s impossible to build a base station, and even if it were built, it would be easily destroyed by wild beasts. Communication between the two places mostly relies on a trade caravan that travels back and forth once a month…”
Zhao Yu realized, without satellites, all network connections need physical base stations, so it was normal not to be able to contact Moon City through the network.
“The house comes with a chef, and you can also order from other restaurants in town through your phone. Your number is a super VIP one, which will ensure speedy delivery…”
From Li Bo’s introduction, life here seemed to be carefree, with everything well considered for him; all he needed to do was ask.
With housing and food sorted, Zhao Yu then inquired about hunting outside the city.
“For hunting, you are still just a second-tier beginner, the most suitable place would be near Farm No. 13 to the south of the town, where the beasts are all second-tier low level…”
“But don’t worry, the family is currently in a meeting discussing this, and should arrange a guard team for you within a day to ensure your safety and assist you in hunting…”
“As it’s getting late, and you’ve had a long journey, I won’t disturb your rest ” L1 Bo smiled, pointing at the phone, “We’ve added each other’s contact details, you can reach out to me with any issues…”
“Okay!”
Although Zhao Yu wasn’t tired, he still decided to be alone for a while and didn’t reject Li Bo’s suggestion, heading straight for the villa.
Upon entering the room, the door was flanked by a dozen beautiful and charming young girls dressed in maid outfits.
“Master, welcome home!”
