"Okay, let's make an agreement. The rent is 12,000 Ningping dollars a month. I'll rent it for two...three months first."

Zheng Li calculated it and found that today is February 24th. The team competition starts in April and will not last longer than June. It is almost enough to rent it for three months.

This is an above-average family hotel with more than thirty rooms on three floors, all with water, electricity and heating, and the surrounding supporting facilities are basically complete.

Zheng Li bought half of it, almost half of the third floor and half of the second floor. Together with the Yinghuo cart parked not far from the hotel, it was enough for the members of the Peace Corps.

Considering their recent behavior of "not wanting to miss Sichuan", Zheng Li suspected that this place might not be full, or even more than half empty... But now that they are in the city, they have to put their feet on the ground to change the environment.

A temporary station that may not be used is not only a kind of humanistic care, but also a psychological need.

There is a real difference between sleeping in a room and sleeping in a car.

"...really super cheap."

Of course, the extremely low housing prices are also one of the main reasons for large-scale renting.

The current exchange rate between Shi Qian Coin and Ninh Binh Coin is about 1:1.8. In fact, the monthly expenditure is almost 20,000. Twenty rooms include water, electricity, internet and a meal for lunch (although they may not be able to eat it). It is simply too cheap.

But Zheng Li also noticed that as the outskirts of Ninh Binh City, many surrounding houses were empty, and more than half of the houses had no lights at night.

"Oh, two reasons. Many people are working outside. At the same time, the population in the city has also been growing negatively for decades."

After decades of negative growth? Isn’t this about to end? The hotel owner said this with a smile.

After a little inquiry, Zheng Li realized that he had misunderstood. Every city has its own characteristics and unique environment. It would be a bit stupid to compare Shiqian City's experience with this city.

The area within the city walls of Digital City is indeed small, less than half that of Shiqian City, but as the oldest large city in central China, its total population at its peak was several times that of Shiqian City.

However, unlike Shiqian City, where most people are concentrated within the Fourth Ring Road, Digital City has a lot of satellite cities, which are where the majority of the population gathers.

Satellite cities have different areas and functions. Some of them are in this plane, some are blocked in the space passage, and some are even on the other side of the space passage.

With the increase in border cities and fortresses, the environment in the outside world is getting safer and safer. The higher the income, the better the living conditions. Coupled with the official encouragement policy of the Digital City, more and more people have naturally migrated to the satellite cities outside.

This is the main factor of the city's population. The secondary factor is that all the policies that encouraged and forced childbirth eighty years ago were cancelled? At the same time, it has become easier to apply for population relocation to other big cities...

.It is said that in the last era, those who applied for relocation would be directly executed as traitors.

According to the boss, young people of the same generation have either gone to satellite cities with more opportunities, lower taxes, and higher incomes, or have moved to other cities.

In addition, the average number of births among young people has dropped significantly now? The total population in the city is less than half of what it was when he was born.

Zheng Li sees nearly half of the lights now? Or is it because many people came back to celebrate the New Year and were waiting to watch the triennial team competition and did not leave immediately... In the second half of this year, it returned to normalcy and walked around the outskirts of the city.

The streets are empty? Of course hotel rents cannot be raised.

Seeing the happy face of the hotel owner, Zheng Li even doubted whether the "affordable price" had been overpriced.

But on another level? Zheng Li also breathed a sigh of relief. At least judging from the situation in the past two days, the ordinary citizens in this city seemed quite normal.

Although the speaking style is a bit too concise, you can basically see the emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. It is even a little too obvious... This generous innkeeper directly sent a bunch of snacks, beer, and salted fish to the Peace Corps.

Bacon, said to be a classic combination for watching games, made Zheng Li, who was preparing to play the game, dumbfounded.

Different from the four-ring mechanism in Thi Chien City, Ninh Binh City only has two rings, the outer area and the core area.

All the residential areas were numbered, which made Zheng Li a little uncomfortable as he was not familiar with the naming style, but he still chose the outer city area close to the city wall according to his habit.

This is almost the practice of foreign war groups. Stay away from the core area of ​​the local big city to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. The periphery has lower prices and is convenient for hunting to earn extra money. If something goes wrong, it is more suitable to escape.

Zheng Li was still a little hesitant at first. After all, the event should be held in the core area, but since his vest started to feel cold and shiny... He felt that living on the outside was good, and it was even better to be so close to the gate of the city wall, especially for him.

People feel safe.

After allocating temporary rooms, the members of the Peace Corps disbanded and went about their own affairs.

Some people were dragged out to go shopping surrounded by their sisters, some people embarked on their own food journey, and some people did business alone while others were on vacation and traveling...

"Zheng Li, the goods are all out."

Song Ying's news made Zheng Li a little surprised. How could it happen so quickly? Didn't they agree to just check the prices and hang out at most?

The goods carried by the carts are stored in the warehouse area after entering the city. The transaction of cargo orders is more convenient and faster. There are special rating experts in the warehouse area. The cargo orders are generally reliable. Just check the goods before trading.

The Yinghuo cart carries a lot of cargo, and shipping is not something that happens overnight. Song Ying and Ma Xiaoying originally just took the manifest to check the market conditions, but now they are shipping?

"Well, it's about 2.6 to 2.7 times the expected revenue. It's a direct acquisition by the official. It's unlikely to change in a short time. Plus with such a high profit, there's no reason not to sell it."

What Song Ying said was very simple, but the content was horrifying to think about carefully.

What caused the "prices of psychic materials" to skyrocket, or was it a direct large-scale premium purchase at the official level?

Zheng Li thought for a moment and said nothing. He was already on the boat and there was no way to avoid the disaster.

"What did Ma Xiaoying say?"

"Go with the flow."

Very simple and straightforward words, but contains a lot of content.

Zheng Li nodded and did not ask further questions.

This is also Zheng Li's idea. He is already on the big ship in Shiqian City, so he can just follow suit.

At this time, there are so many people coming to Shiqian City, including many big bosses. Your camp is naturally bound to that side, so you can just follow them... If you don't follow, do you want to rebel?

As soon as he entered the city, Zheng Li was pulled into a contact group, which was filled with participants and teams from this team competition and rookie competition.

In addition to young people, some officials from Shiqian City also joined under their real names. Zheng Li saw several old acquaintances.

Sun Hongyu, Long Biao and others, it seems they are leading the team.

Liu Yuan and Zhao Yuzhen, who had arrived first, also sent text messages and made an appointment to find a place to exchange information and have a drink on the way after settling in.

Undoubtedly, the people from Shi Qian have formed a group, but their superiors are still mysterious and unwilling to disclose anything.

Judging from Sun Hongyu's situation, perhaps no one will be able to reveal it before time passes. They are playing a big game this time.

Shaking his head, Zheng Li couldn't control these things, so he turned his attention to his own affairs.

"Firefly, is there anything gained?"

“It’s delicious. Especially the specialty fruit ice cream here. I can’t stand the sweetness!”

"...I'm asking to find someone."

"That's so easy. I also got the news from someone I don't know. He said that a few years ago, 'I saw a handsome blue-haired guy who opened an ice cream shop in Digital City, and he had this spiritual seal on his wrist.' Specifically, how many years ago?

I didn’t know it before, let alone which district it was opened in. Who in the right mind would remember these messy numbers? Besides, I can’t even be sure that this is real news. Maybe the other party is talking nonsense to defraud money..."

"It has been confirmed that this is true news. Aquarius should be in this city. You publish a bounty mission on the platform and don't save money. It's not an option to crash like this. Eat a few more ice creams and come back. Don't worry, I won't settle the scores in the future. You

Just feel free to eat blindly with my money."

After the arrangements were made, Zheng Li also sighed, some things cannot be escaped.

Then, he opened all the geography records nearby... Since someone had already missed the question, it was time to research the best possible exam venue.

"Water war, water war... Eleven worlds have big water? There are four more worlds with seas? There are actually port towns and sea guards. You guys are really making a fuss here...

"

At this moment, Zheng Li had some expectations inexplicably. Could it be that he could meet the legendary ship girl?
