Indescribable cyberpunk
Chapter 369 Dilas Harbor
The cries of seagulls and the sound of waves hitting the rocks reached the ears uncontrollably.
The fishy sea breeze and the sunset light, which was only slightly warmer than normal temperature, blew on his face at the same time. These were the first things Zhu Jue felt after stepping through the door.
The hazy fog in front of his eyes dispersed, and after a brief dizziness, Zhu Jue opened his eyes.
As Black Swan said, the exit is on the shore of Dilas Harbor. The entrance is filled with strange-shaped rocks, shellfish and moss attached to them. There is also a breakwater made of granite a little further away, and stairs on both sides. vaguely visible.
At this time, the dreamland and the real world are about to fall into the night, and only half of the setting sun is left on the sea level. With the last natural light before the night comes, Zhu Jue stands on a reef and overlooks the harbor.
The expression is really not pretty.
Regarding Dilas Harbor, Zhu Jue had many speculations in his mind.
Great Elder Atal once told him that this was the nearest commercial distribution center in Usa Town. Merchants from all over the Dreamland would come here to trade. Therefore, in Zhu Jue's mind, Dilas Seaport should be an extremely prosperous commercial center. Hong Kong, based on the liveliness of Niel City and the tranquility of Usa Town, Zhu Jue has a pretty good impression of the Dreamland so far, thinking that he may be able to see a different kind of scenery here.
However, what appeared in front of Zhu Jue were the towering black towers all over Dilas Harbor. The entire harbor city was crowded among these black towers, most of which were built of basalt. It was like a bowl of white rice with a lot of... The black gravel and the rice are good, but there is no desire to eat them.
Zhu Jue's first impression of this place was really not good, and could even be called disgusting. Only when he walked onto the breakwater and got closer to the city, this emotion became more and more obvious.
The streets between the black towers are dark and boring. Not to mention the lack of any decent decorations, they are not even basic spacious and bright rooms. The gloomy sailors' taverns crowded near the pier can only make this place more reluctant. There is a lively atmosphere, but even so, just a few glances will make people feel uncomfortable.
"Why is the environment here like this? Do these black tower buildings have any special significance?"
After walking for a while, Zhu Jue looked at the black tower getting closer and closer, but still couldn't help it, and turned around and asked with a surprised look on his face.
"I don't know either. The Port of Hylanlis in the north and the Port of Salephis in the east are both extremely prosperous large port cities, especially the latter, which is a famous big city in the entire dreamland. In comparison, , the situation of Dilas Seaport is very special. The area of this city is actually not much worse than that of Helenis and Salafis. It is just because of these black towers that the layout of the entire city looks extremely gloomy. No one knows these black towers. Where did the tower come from? I asked the local people and they said it existed a long time ago. The gentleman thought it was probably made by a dreamer with extremely powerful thinking ability, because these black towers are based on the past in the dreamland. The construction technology is very difficult to produce.”
There are too many strange things in the dreamland, such as this large-scale black tower. Even Black Swan and Gentleman, who have been in the dreamland for many years, can't explain why. They can only give a guess.
"You haven't opened it and looked at it?"
Zhu Jue pointed to a nearby black tower more than ten meters high. With his personality, he would definitely want to smash this kind of thing open to take a look.
"These black towers made of basalt are extremely solid. If you want to destroy them, ordinary weapons can't even leave scratches. The gentleman once tried to use a strong corrosive potion brought from the real world. Although it did corrode part of it, it It seems to contain some special power. After just one night, all the broken parts were repaired, and the governor on the harbor side did not allow these black towers to be damaged. The locals thought they might be something protecting the harbor."
Black Swan answered helplessly. Perhaps in order to avoid other weird questions that Zhu Jue might ask, she deliberately changed the topic.
"I will first take you to our trading station in the harbor to let the people here know that you have inherited all of Mr. Gentleman's property, and then I will take you to the place where the Searing Box is placed. Because of its special nature, Sex needs to be stored in a special place.”
"Well, hurry up."
At the mention of the Searing Box, Zhu Jue immediately withdrew his attention from the surrounding black towers and followed the black swan to the gentleman's business station at Delas Harbor.
What I have to admit is that although Zhu Jue was a little displeased when he saw Dilas Harbor on the beach before, this city is indeed as Black Swan said. It has a large area and population, at least compared to Neil City. Several times larger.
The Shuojin Chamber of Commerce Station is located on the side of the pier, in an area bordering the residential area.
I don’t know if it’s because the gentleman is so obsessed with the word “Shuojin” that he not only uses this name to deceive and deceive, but also names his own chamber of commerce in the dreamland after Shuojin.
"The layout of each site of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce is similar. The main body is a large warehouse and exchange used for the distribution and temporary storage of goods. The ancillary facilities include pubs and hotels. In large cities like Delas Seaport, there are also some For other extended services such as carriage rental and accounting, your residence is near the inn, and you can directly overlook the operation of the entire inn.”
Along the street paved with gray stone bricks, Black Swan introduced the business of Shuojin Chamber of Commerce to Zhu Jue.
As a gentleman who came to the dreamland from the real world, the various business models and concepts he knows are undoubtedly much higher than the development of this world. This is the progress brought about by the development of civilization, plus the gentleman and his subordinates Thanks to the "efforts" of the temporary workers, the entire Shuojin Chamber of Commerce has developed extremely smoothly. In a few years, it has become somewhat famous. Even in such a large seaport city, it has its own place.
When Zhu Jue and Black Swan arrived nearby, it happened to be the time to collect goods at night. Many merchants were driving trucks pulled by zebras into the station to unload goods. Occasionally, they could see slave catching teams, and their vehicles were larger. Most of them carry cages, each containing 3 to 5 adults or children.
"Human trafficking is allowed in this world. These are the slave crews, from Pug."
Noticing that Zhu Jue's eyes were falling on the vehicles containing slaves, perhaps worried that he would be dissatisfied with this behavior, Black Swan carefully explained.
"go in."
Zhu Jue responded noncommittally. Naturally, Zhu Jue would not like this kind of behavior, but he also knew that he could not stop this "legal" business activity, so he simply turned a blind eye.
"Wait, what do you look like"
Black Swan stopped Zhu Jue and reminded him.
After the gentleman's management over the years, it is natural that he cannot only have Black Swan as his confidant in the dreamland. The latter will eventually return to the real world. It is impossible for the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce to stop operating. It is natural to train the manpower in the dreamland, which is also true. Because of this, in the real world Zhu Jue needs to turn into a gentleman to sign various documents, and the dreamland will undoubtedly have to go through the process as well.
It may even be more complicated here. After all, there is no such thing as online video in Dreamland. The handover of the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce must be known to people from various departments under the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, the scavenger can come with Zhu Jue In the dreamland, the gentleman's name can still be used, so the handover of positions will be much smoother.
Unsurprisingly, Gentleman's strength is not only reflected in the real world, but also in the fantasy world. When Gentleman, the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and Black Swan appeared at the door of the inn, the branch president responsible for the operation of the inn here was almost there. He rushed out to say hello, fearing that being so late would make the president unhappy.
"President, why didn't you notify us in advance that you were coming? We have no preparations here."
The somewhat bloated middle-aged man half-bowed with some difficulty, put his hands together, and smiled all over his face.
"What, if I want to come, I need to get your permission first?"
In fact, Zhu Jue didn't know the guy in front of him at all, but on the way here, he also heard Black Swan talk about the temper of a gentleman. Now he is imitating not only eight points, but at least five points. Naturally, the person in charge of this kind of station would not dare to What to question.
In fact, as soon as Zhu Jue's tone became cold, the sweat on the middle-aged man's face began to "spout".
"No, no, no, it's an honor for you to come. I wonder what you need?"
Waving his hands repeatedly, he spoke at such a speed as if he had been a trainee for two years, so his RAP skills would definitely not be bad.
"The president is here to announce something. Now go and find all the people in charge of the station."
Black Swan took the initiative to take over the conversation and spoke under the sudden paleness of the middle-aged man's face. The latter obviously thought that his position might not be guaranteed and was nervous.
By the time the management staff gathered at the inn, it was already dark throughout Dilas Harbor.
On the second floor of the inn office, the heads of several departments in the inn stood side by side, their faces a little ugly. The president suddenly came to the door without any notice. He didn't give the person in charge a good look at the door. The boss How can the people below be better off if they are criticized?
Anyone else would have thought something was going to happen.
"I am calling you here to announce something important. The president will enter a semi-retirement state due to some important matters recently. Starting from tomorrow, the position of president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce will be assigned by the president. Mr. Jue will take over. He will arrive at Dilas Seaport tomorrow morning. Mr. President, because he has to leave on urgent matters, so I come here to inform you in advance. In addition, I need you to inform the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce of this news as quickly as possible. The regional inns must let everyone know that the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce will have a new president!"
Just like in the real world, Zhu Jue's current role is to act as a tool for Black Swan's work. As long as he appears here as a gentleman, Black Swan's words will undoubtedly have absolute authority, and these people in front of him are witnesses.
No one will doubt the authenticity of the identity of the new president who will appear tomorrow.
