Chapter 1211 The Underground City of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace
After announcing his squad's number, Lao Zhu placed the 660 multi-yuan stones he had prepared in advance on the table.
After the soldiers in charge of collecting the stones counted them and put them into storage, and checked their storage space, they gave them 110 gold coins as pay.
After Chu Chen put the coins away, he immediately distributed the one hundred gold coins to the ten people.
In this way, their task for the month can be considered complete.
Next, they will be able to get a two-week vacation.
You can choose to stay here, or you can choose to leave.
Last time, they returned to the Zuoying camp because the first ten households had died, and were waiting for the arrival of the new ten households.
If it weren't for this reason, most of them wouldn't go back; they would only go back once every few months to bring back some gold coins for their families.
The rest of the time, we stay here; the food is better than in Zuoying, and it's safer.
Chu Chen knew these rules, so he asked them, "Is anyone willing to come back with me?"
Although everyone initially said they wanted to take Chu Chen home to visit, at this moment everyone seemed somewhat reluctant.
The reason is simple: each of them went back home last month, and for the past two weeks, they've all been thinking of coming back to do some work and earn a gold coin or two.
But Chu Chen treated them so well, so they elected Old Zhu to go back with Chu Chen.
Chu Chen expressed his understanding of all this: "It's alright, it's all for survival. You all work hard, and when I, the Tenth Household, become successful, I will definitely help you get rich."
After saying that, the two boarded the flying boat back to Zuoying.
As soon as Chu Chen sat down, he was surprised to find that he was in the same spot, knee to knee, and the person in front of him was none other than the centurion Ji Yue.
"Haha, it's great to see you again, Lady Ji Yue!"
Ji Yue looked at Chu Chen: "How was it? Did you complete the mission?"
"Hehe, it's done. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't too difficult either."
Seeing Chu Chen's confident expression, Ji Yue's face showed a hint of worry: "Chu Chen, did you offend Qiu Da down there?"
"Listen to me, after you go back, don't go out. They've spread the word that if you go out, they'll cause you trouble. His brother is a commander of a thousand, we can't afford to offend him."
Seeing Ji Yue's worried expression, Chu Chen suddenly felt a touch of warmth.
This woman, who seemed to view everything with cold indifference, actually displayed such warmth.
So he immediately asked, "Did Qiu Da come to see you?"
Ji Yue looked at Chu Chen and nodded in surprise, thinking to herself, "How could this kid have thought of that?"
"Hehe, don't be surprised. If I'm not mistaken, they're not only looking for you, but they also want you to hand me over, right!"
As Chu Chen spoke, his feelings of goodwill towards Ji Yue increased considerably.
"Don't worry about these things, Qiu Da wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
"You are one of my ten commanders, so you must be under my protection. After you go back, stay obediently in the Left Camp."
Chu Chen smiled but didn't speak. Instead, he looked at the handsome centurion in front of him with a meaningful expression.
If possible, after you've gained your footing, you can lend a hand.
Soon after, the group returned to the camp. After Chu Chen and Lao Zhu returned to the camp and placed some supplies, they went straight to Ji Yue's barracks.
When Chu Chen reached the door of her barracks, he knocked directly on it.
"Chu Chen, what brings you here?"
"Chu Chen has come here to thank Lord Baihu for not handing me over to Qiu Da. I have prepared some small gifts as a token of my gratitude."
Before Ji Yue could react, Chu Chen waved his hand and took something out of his personal space.
These items are mostly women's products and bedding.
Chu Chen knew that even for a centurion like her, living conditions weren't very good. As for gold coins, Chu Chen only had ten, and he had to go back to make samples.
Seeing the various items that had suddenly appeared in the room, he was stunned and asked, "What are these?"
"Hehe, I see that you're not much better off than us, so I brought you these things since I still have them."
After saying that, Chu Chen explained the function and usage of each item to her.
When Chu Chen introduced the vampire angels, he could clearly feel the blush on Ji Yue's face.
However, after Chu Chen gave a serious explanation of biological knowledge, he ran out of Ji Yue's room.
After leaving the room, Chu Chen immediately ignored Ji Yue's words.
Back in his dorm, he asked Old Zhu, "Do you know how to get to the dungeon?"
"What do you want to do, sir?"
After hearing Chu Chen's words, Zhu Liu immediately realized what he wanted to do.
This kid only has ten gold coins in his pocket. Is he going to the dungeon to shine shoes or beg?
"Nothing, I just wanted to go for a walk. Staying in this lousy place all day is so boring."
Gold coins are currently being produced in Chu Tian Realm according to the design Chu Chen brought back.
"Sir, it is said that you have to pay gold coins to enter the dungeon, ten gold coins per person."
"Let's give up on this idea."
Ten gold coins? Chu Chen thought to himself, "That's outrageous! This is practically creating a polarization!"
This will forever isolate these people from the upper class.
In the underworld, much like in primitive societies, everyone seems to have their fate predetermined from birth.
Everything about them was arranged from birth.
Those who lack a strong physique should not engage in farming.
Those with strong physiques go out to mine, and they'll lock in your income.
Ironically, the miners' income is the entrance fee to the underground city.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen smiled at Zhu Liu: "You don't need to worry about the gold coins."
"Just take me there!"
Helpless, Zhu Liu could only lead Chu Chen toward the entrance to the underground city.
Soon after, the two arrived at the entrance to the underground city. The guards looked at them disdainfully and said, "Pay up and enter the city!"
Chu Chen didn't bother arguing with them and simply waved his hand, taking out twenty gold coins and placing them on the table.
Then we went straight into the dungeon.
The two guards watched the two men leave and shook their heads: "Sigh, they've been saving up for months to come in looking for fun again. After all, there are no brothels outside."
"Who says there aren't? I've heard they have a lot of fun out there!"
Upon entering the underground city, Chu Chen felt that the whole world was different. The temperature was pleasant, and the air had a slightly sweet fragrance.
The main street was bustling with people, and shops lined both sides, creating a prosperous scene.
However, after Chu Chen and his group entered the city, several people who were loitering at the city gate followed them.
