Indescribable cyberpunk

"Sir, please don't move around and keep your current posture. You can relax a little. Because it's just a portrait, it doesn't require much artistic processing. It will be done quickly."

The painter wearing a Scottish-style beret raised his brush and compared it with Zhu Jue's face in front of him. The portrait on the drawing board in front of him was mostly completed.

Last night Zhu Jue came as a gentleman to announce the appointment of the new president. This morning he changed back to his original identity and came to the Chamber of Commerce again under the leadership of Black Swan. However, the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce currently has a number of stations in various places. There are more than a dozen of them, so naturally it is impossible to just tell the inn at Dilas Harbor to know.

Do you come to every inn like this?

Regardless of whether he had time or not, Zhu Jue didn't have the intention, so he decided to notify him in a letter at Black Swan's suggestion. The portrait he was painting now was also part of the letter. He would take it to someone as soon as he finished the painting. Copy it and then send it together with the letter to the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce's stations in various cities, so that the managers of the stations in various places can get to know the new president first.

"There won't be any bullshit seizure of power, right? I don't want to have to deal with people who are loyal to gentlemen in the future."

After sitting for nearly half an hour, the impatience on Zhu Jue's face was already visible to the naked eye. He did not shy away from the fact that the painter was in front of him and looked directly at the black swan coming in from the door.

"Please rest assured that the gentleman has a strong control over the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce. Since you are his designated successor and have a formal document of transfer, you have the right to ask anyone who questions this matter to leave the Chamber of Commerce. What's more, there are really people who don't have eyesight. The gentleman is not dead yet, is he?"

Black Swan is not like Zhu Jue, who still cares about the presence of outsiders, and goes round and round to finish his words.

The painter who was "concentrating on painting" glanced at the young man opposite him without any trace, and the movements of his hands immediately became much faster. After the painting was finished, he was not willing to stop for a moment. He took the painting off the drawing board and moved it to the black swan. He handed it over in his hand, turned around and left.

"It's finally over. What is that in your hand?"

Zhu Jue twisted his neck and accidentally saw the delicate card in Black Swan's hand.

"The invitation to the cocktail party from the governor here at Dilas Harbor may be because he knew about the gentleman's return, so he sent the invitation. Now that you are the president, I will go and explain the situation to them later. "

The invitation was sent to a gentleman. It didn't matter that Zhu Jue took his place as the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce. But when he entered, everyone regarded him as a gentleman. He would have to explain himself when the time came. Black Swan looked at Zhu Jue's expression. Knowing that this matter would definitely not work, he changed his mind and accepted the invitation letter without saying a word.

"I want to go out for a walk alone. It's up to you to handle matters at the Chamber of Commerce. Help me pay more attention to things about the Searing Box. Don't the Dream Eaters want to ask us for such a thing? Just wait for them here. Come, just in time to ask what the use of this treasure is."

Zhu Jue had no special purpose in entering the dreamland this time. To a large extent, he just wanted to experience the effect of the dream medicine and see what the Searing Box was. Therefore, he originally did not plan to stay for a long time, but now that It would be a waste to not use the resources of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce to benefit yourself.

"In addition, help me pay attention to things like moonlight wine and incense that are good for the soul, as well as potions. In short, prepare a copy of good materials. I will read the scroll in the space ring myself when I get back."

"The Chamber of Commerce's expedition team should return this month. Maybe they will bring back some valuable information. Do you want to wait a little longer?"

The role of expedition teams in this era is not just to venture into various remote places. In the process, they will also pay attention to various valuable items and news. A large part of the reasons why major chambers of commerce form or hire expedition teams is because Therefore, if a chamber of commerce really wants to become bigger, it must have a solid background. Otherwise, if it doesn't even have enough goods to live in, how can it compete with other chambers of commerce?

Not to mention that gentlemen are more thirsty for these strange items or news than other chamber of commerce presidents, so the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce has never spent less on expeditions. Correspondingly, the things brought back by the expeditions are often It can also give people unexpected joy.

"I know, let's talk about it then. Haven't you come back yet?"

Zhu Jue, who had been in the room for nearly half the morning, really didn't want to sit back in his chair and listen to Black Swan talk about the expedition. He left the Chamber of Commerce with a few casual words and wandered alone in Dilas Harbor.

Great Elder Atal once said that people from all over the Dreamland can be seen at Dilas Harbor. This is true. When I came here yesterday through the dream medicine, it happened to be dusk and night. For people of this era, Nightlife is not that rich, pubs and nightingale shops are the best places to go, but for ordinary people, sleeping at home at night is the best choice.

But it is morning now, one of the busiest times of the day. Zhu Jue is walking on the street, and almost every few steps he sees some travelers or sailors whose appearance and dress are quite different from the locals. Either they were talking and laughing loudly in groups, or they were alone with their veils on, watching some sneaky people walking through the streets.

Zhu Jue's original idea was to find a tavern with a decent style and go in to find people to get some information. But when he got to the door and felt the excitement inside, Zhu Jue stopped instead.

What should I ask when I go in?

This question suddenly appeared in my mind and quickly took root.

Ask these people inside if they know anything that can make themselves stronger?

No one understands his own power better than Zhu Jue. Many things have actually lost their effect to him, such as the red and honey-colored gems he obtained before. The first few gems were pretty good, but as he went further, he could The less strength you draw from it.

If he wants to be strong, Zhu Jue must find new ways, and the sailors in the tavern can really know this kind of thing. To say the least, if someone really knows, is he crazy or is he full? Tell yourself such precious news to a stranger?

How do those people who can easily get important information by simply sitting in a tavern and handing one or a few gold coins to the bartender do it? Can you teach me?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Jue's mood waned. Just as someone came out of the tavern, the smell of sweat and the smell of alcohol that was neither good nor bad hit his face. His mind, which had been wavering a second ago, immediately became firm and turned around to leave. After leaving the tavern, we returned to the street.

But without the wind chimes around, Zhu Jue's originally pretty good interest was quickly consumed by the thoughts in front of the tavern and the black stone towers around him. In the end, he didn't even bother to continue shopping, but went straight to the road he took last night. beach.

After all, there is a difference between the beach at night and the beach in the morning. Last night, I just felt that the sun shining on the ordinary beach and the cool sea breeze blowing by in the morning immediately gave people a different feeling.

Walking down the stairs on the outside of the breakwater, Zhu Jue prepared to walk over the large stones abandoned nearby after the construction of the surrounding buildings to go to the beach.

However, only halfway through, Zhu Jue's footsteps stopped as he passed a granite block half as tall as a man.

He was surprisingly familiar with the stone in front of him, not because he had been here last night, but because he had seen it in other places before.

At this moment, a crab as big as half a palm emerged from the sand under the stone.

Facing Zhu Jue.

Rampant and tyrannical!
