The armored vehicles slowly drove away from the gathering place of the racing party. The racing party whistled reluctantly and waved his hands. All faces were full of the same fanaticism, as if saying, "Idol, please let me lick your tires and suck your exhaust." Hongbai wrapped his little tail around the steering wheel to control the armored vehicle, and poked his little head out of the window and kept waving his hands, smiling like a little trumpet flower.

Gu Tie counted the bets won by the red and white racing in the passenger seat. The first bet was 5 stacks of banknotes, each stack of 100 pieces, each with a denomination of 100 gold coins, totaling 50,000 gold coins. The second bet was an enchanted silver with unknown effect. The third bet was a small diamond, and the goods were very ordinary, regardless of size or quality, the price should not exceed 10 star diamonds. The fourth bet was a VIP card from a certain club, where you can watch the club's top card in the box and dance striptease. Gu Tie looked around for a long time and confirmed that the last three bets were all cheap goods, but he didn't know the purchasing power of 50,000 gold coins.

"What are these gold coins?" Gu Tie pulled out a stack of paper money and asked.

Red and white retracted into the car and continued to drive with a smile: "Mama, this is the currency of the vending machine network in various neutral open cities, the currency of killing ruins, and 1 star diamond exchanged for 10,000 gold coins. Mama, for players, gold coins are completely useless, for natives, gold coins have strong purchasing power, and 1 gold coins can have a beautiful meal."

"Oh, ten thousand gold coins vs. one star diamond." Gu Tie thought for a while and said with a smile: "The purchasing power is still thousands of times that of RMB."

"Well, the original backward place like the earth. The prices must be very cheap." Hongbai said with a smile.

Gu Tie was depressed and said with a wry smile: "No matter what, I'll have a good meal in Duanliu City later..." Before he finished speaking, Hongbai threw himself into his arms like lightning. He picked up all the spoils and jumped to the side, stared at his little eyes and shouted: "This is Hongbai's personal asset. Brother Gu Tie is not allowed to use Hongbai's money. If the master of the warlock relies on the magic pet to make a living, it would be too shameful."

"Ah, you finally know that you are a demon pet. Hello, don't have your money, drive quickly." Gu Tie hurriedly pointed at the front and said.

"Well. Don't take money from the demon pet. Brother Gu Tie cannot be a soft rice warlock." Hongbai said with his little eyes.

"Okay, okay, you drive quickly, I'll give you money, okay? 100,000, ok?" Gu Tie said.

"One hundred thousand star diamonds?" The red and white little eyes lit up.

"Have you 100,000 gold coins?" Gu Tie asked angrily.

It is better to have money than not. Hongbai finally put the trophy under the driver's seat and drove seriously while grasping the steering wheel. Gu Tie breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his personal terminal to view the map. His personal cursor was indeed close to Duanliu City and was about to reach Duanliu City. He set off around 8 o'clock this morning, and it was over twelve o'clock in the morning, just sixteen hours. He had already completed half of the nominal journey. He didn't know how the next half of the journey would be, but he was still quite satisfied with his speed. If Hongbai arrived at Duanliu City, he would not participate in any racing competition, but instead stopped his confusion with Xingcai Stone. It would be even more perfect.

But when he thought about it carefully, when he was stumbling with Xingcai Stone, Hongbai suddenly rushed in, which was very embarrassing!

Just as Gu Tie was thinking about it, a green light ball the size of a basketball suddenly flashed in front of him, and there was a pretty girl inside. Gu Tie was so scared that he pulled out the sword of the energy gathering, but the light ball said: "Hello, Gu Tie, player Gu Tie, welcome to the area of ​​Duanliu City. I am the guide elf and will guide you how to travel and work in a neutral and open city."

Gu Tie was stunned for a moment and said to Hongbai: "What's this?"

Hongbai smiled and said, "Terra, don't pretend."

"What, she is Terra?" Gutie asked in surprise.

The voice of the guide elves then undergoes subtle changes, becoming lively and vivid, with a hint of cunning: "Oh, red and white are too boring, and I plan to make fun of you. Let's put it this way, the guide elves are all my terminals, just like vending machines. To use the metaphor on earth, computers and smartphones are both terminals of the network. The responsibility of the guide elves is not sales, but guidance, warning, and supervision. For example, Duanliu City wants to trade equally with you, how can you trade equally? It's very simple, let the guide elves supervise your transactions and ensure that your commodity prices are equal. If you are a bad guy with a bad intention and attempt to plunder Duanliu City, how can you stop you? It's very simple, use the guide elves to mark your identity and let Duanliu City know you. If you don't understand Duanliu City, how can you move in Duanliu City? It's very simple, let the guide elves guide you."

"So troublesome?" Gu Tie said in surprise: "You have to be monitored when going to the toilet?"

"Hehe, the guide elves will respect ** very politely." Terra said with a smile: "For example, when you first entered the area of ​​Duanliu City, you were rolling around with your devil. In order to avoid disturbing your interests, the guide elves will keep a certain distance. In short, as long as you do not trade, the guide elves do not have to follow you close."

Gu Tie felt a fever on his face and sighed: "Oh, Tera, is Duanliu City able to cross the Western Tianzhu Mountains?"

"The guide elves cannot tell the player information directly, otherwise they will be considered as interfering with the player," said Terra.

Hongbai is more experienced than Gutie, and asked with a smile: "Where is the right place to inquire about information?"

"At this time, bars and brothels are good choices," said Terra.

Gu Tie was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Hongbai said happily: "Yeah, I understand."

Not long after, the car drove onto a flat asphalt road. Gutie didn't know if it was a paved road, but the gray-black road looked very similar. After a while, the car came to a road similar to a toll station and stopped. A four-eyed native in uniform and gun walked to the window and became respectful when he saw the guide elves. He said in an extremely smooth linguistic phrase: "Hello, noble player, welcome to Duanliu City. The guide elves will lead you to visit Duanliu City. I wish you a happy life in Duanliu City."

Gu Tie nodded, pulled out two 100 gold coins from under his butt and handed them to the native, which made the native happy like a sunflower. Hongbai started the armored vehicle and continued driving. His little eyes were round and glaring at Gu Tie, as if he was about to eat Gu Tiesheng. Gu Tie smiled and shook his head, touching Hongbai's little head: "I will pay you how many star diamonds with a few bills. OK?"

Hongbai immediately handed all the five stacks of gold coins to Gu Tie and shouted enthusiastically: "Hongbai is Brother Gu Tie's, please use it casually."

Gu Tie smiled and shook his head, saying to Terra, "I gave the tip just now, is it considered a non-equal transaction?"

"It is definitely not equality. The guard has no labor, but he has received 200 gold coins. But the equality we define is not absolute equality, but relative equality. Because absolute equality does not exist, and no precise value calculation can achieve complete equality." Terra said in a formulaic voice: "There are two standards for determining transaction errors: first, if the transaction amount exceeds 1,000 star diamonds, an error of one thousandth is allowed; second, if the transaction amount is less than 1,000 star diamonds, an error within 1 star diamond is allowed. The transaction amount is 24 hours, and the calculation method is the total amount. In other words, player Gu Tie, you can also give a tip of no more than 9,800 gold coins within the next 24 hours, and there is no need to worry about violating the law of non-equality trading."

"What will happen if you violate it?" Gu Tie asked curiously.

"Fine." Terra and Hongbai said with a smile.

"It's true." Gu Tie also said with a smile.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Duanliu City is built on a large dam that crosses the Duan River, so it is called "Duanliu City". A main road passes through the entire urban area. It extends many streets to both sides, dividing the urban area into many blocks. Under the guidance of Terra, Hongbai parked his car on a street. Gu Tie jumped out of the car first, twisted his neck and then twisted his waist. A series of rattles burst out from the stiff joints.

"Terra, I have a problem." Gu Tie said with a smile.

"Depending on your posture, you are worried about meeting other players here." Terra said with a smile.

"Yes." Gu Tie looked at this strange city vigilantly, a little uncomfortable.

"Neutral cities do not support players' wars. So once other players approach or are followed by other players, the guide elves will send a prompt. You don't have to worry about being attacked or assassinated. If you forcefully fight with other players, the guide elves will not object, and will only remind you to prepare for compensation and fines." Terra said with a smile.

Hongbai got out of the car and ran over, handed Gu Tie a small bag to Gu Tie: "Brother Gu Tie, you forgot to bring the money."

Gu Tie opened the small bag and looked at the five stacks of cash inside, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll accept you."

Under the guidance of the elves, Gutie began to visit Duanliu City and found that it was different from what was expected. The city built on the dam was not big. There were no beautiful garden villas or statues full of artistic atmosphere. All buildings were reinforced concrete as bones, covered with protective armor, and all the windows were small, which looked like the shooting entrance of a bunker. The towering lighthouse stood on both sides of the dam, and the beams emitted by the searchlights kept scanning the waters upstream and downstream. From time to time, a group of soldiers patrolling animals appeared on the street. They were all fully armed and their equipment was not as advanced, but they were all higher-end than Earth cargo.

He had thought that a neutral open city would be beautiful Switzerland, but now it feels like a fascist concentration camp.

Terra seemed to know what Gu Tie was thinking and actively explained: "It is very difficult to survive in killing ruins. Natural disasters, monsters, demons, bandits, and players will all bring death at any time. The average natural life span of natives is more than 120 years old, but most natives live less than 60 years old, die of illness, fight, and die of post-war trauma. Every life struggles to live."

Gutie remembered Afghanistan and Iraq on Earth, and couldn't help but sigh. There was a neon sign of a certain bar next to the road ahead. Terra took the initiative to introduce: "This is a more famous mercenary bar in Duanliu City. As long as you sprinkle tens of millions of gold coins, you can buy any news and any loyal cannon fodder. For you, it's just a few thousand star diamonds pocket money."

Gu Tie was inexplicably in a heavy mood and walked into the bar silently. This was a dark and simple place, with the aroma of rice wine in the air, the old wooden floor creaking and creaking, and about a dozen large tables were placed in the wide lobby. Dozens of wine guests wearing leather jackets and guns were either standing in the corner or sitting at the table, whispering while drinking. The lobby was in the long bar, and a bartender was wiping cups inside. Several waiters stood against the bar. Gu Tie's arrival attracted their attention, and their eyes were very bright, and no one took the initiative to greet him, but their intentions were obvious.

Terra introduced: "These people are mercenaries. Give them money and they will work hard for you. If you have any needs, you can tell them directly. Their abilities are not as good as players, but they know the local geography very well, which can give you a lot of convenience. Don't worry about their loyalty. They are all professionals. As long as you receive a commission, they will do everything they can to complete the task."

Gu Tie nodded: "I'm going to cross the Western Tianzhu Mountains and reach the West Coast."

The mercenaries looked at each other and finally stared at the bartender in the bartender, with envious expressions and gloating. But the bartender lowered his head and rubbed his cups on his own. It seemed that he was not interested in Gu Tie. Gu Tie walked to the bartender, sat down on a high stool, and looked at the bartender with interest. This guy was also a four-eyed native, but both eyes on the right side were blind, and a long white scar extended from his right forehead to the corner of his right mouth. He cut his two right eyes. Gu Tie didn't know how to judge the age of this native, but he could only feel that he had a very vicissitudes of life and had experienced the vicissitudes of death.

Gu Tie noticed the indifference of the bartender, so he took out a stack of money and threw it on the bar: "Stand the best barbecue. Make the most expensive wine."

The bartender picked up the money and weighed it, then nodded to the waiter outside. Two waiters immediately walked to the backstage and sent out two large plates of steaming unknown grilled fish, each of which was more than one meter long. There were many nuts around it, covered with thick sauce. Red and white immediately rushed to Gu Tie's thighs, staring at the grilled fish with its little tail shaking like a windmill.

Terra shot out a beam of white light and swept through two plates of grilled fish, and then said: "The specialty of Duanliu City crispy nut roasted blue mandarin fish, the total price of two servings is 2,000 gold coins." The bartender took out ten bottles of wine and some bartending tools, and used dazzling craftsmanship to make up one cup after another. Some wines are worth hundreds of gold coins, some wines are worth thousands of gold coins, and more than ten glasses of wine have accumulated a total of eight thousand gold coins.

"The total price of the store's products is about 10,000 gold coins, and the players pay 10,000 gold coins, and the transaction is equal." Terra said.

The bartender then put the money in the counter and then packed the wine utensils on the table. Gu Tie used his psychic hand to grab more than ten glasses of wine and two grilled fish at one time, and sent it to an empty table more than ten meters away. Then he grabbed Hongbai and threw it on a chair next to the table. Hongbai stood excitedly on the chair, tearing off a piece of grilled fish with one hand, and picked up a glass of wine with the other, and began to eat and drink hard.

Gu Tie took out a stack of money and threw it on the bar, and said with a smile: "I will refill her with the advance payment of wine and meat at any time."

The bartender widened his left eyes in surprise, but he still said, "I understand, guest."

"I am Gu Tie, what do you call you?" Gu Tie asked.

The bartender was silent for a while before saying, "Now everyone calls me Baishao."

"Okay, Baiscar, I'm going to pass through the Western Tianzhu Mountains, the faster the better," Gu Tie said.

Baiscar looked down at the second stack of money and said reluctantly: "I can contact you a few experts."

"I want to pass through the Western Tianzhu Mountains within 24 hours, can I do it?" Gu Tie asked.

There were bursts of screams in the lobby. Bai Scar stared at his left eyes for a while before saying, "It can be done in theory."

"Tell me specifically?" Gu Tie asked.

"First, your speed must be very fast. In the underground caves that are rugged, dark, oxygen-deficient, and full of poisonous gas, you have to go thirty miles an hour, because the total distance is seven hundred miles long. Second, your firepower must be fierce enough, because you have to walk closer to the path, you cannot avoid the territory of those monsters. Third, you may encounter a spider-banshee, and you have to prepare a large number of flamethrowers. Fourth, you have to be smart enough..." Baiscar was silent for a while before saying: "No mercenary can keep up with this speed, so you can't hire a guide. We can provide enough information, videos and maps, and you have to explore yourself while watching the prompts."

Gu Tie nodded and said with a smile: "Can you find a place to chat carefully?"

"If you don't mind, I'll contact a few experienced veterans." Baiscar said.

"Of course, the richer the intelligence, the better." Gu Tie said with a smile.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Two hours later, Gu Tie walked out of the bar with a distressed mind, carrying a bloated leather bag full of information, and carrying a drunken red and white bag. The city outside the bar made his eyes lit up. When he entered the bar, the whole city was dim and there were almost no shops on the street. It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the streets were brightly lit, and many shops were opened. Terra introduced: "These shops were originally opened during the day. However, when he learned that a generous player came to Duanliu City, he enthusiastically opened overnight. They usually sell some local specialties that are not in the vending machines, and you can go and have a look."

"Is there no vending machines here?" Gu Tie asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are four vending machines in total." Terra said with a smile.

"Isn't that robbing your business?" Gu Tie asked.

"Yes, I hate them all to death." Terra still smiled, with no anger in her tone.

Qing Liuli said in Gu Tie's heart: "The residents in the mountains are good at hunting, the residents on the beach are good at fishing, and the local residents are always more familiar with the local geography. We already know the dark area entrance of the Tianzhu Mountains in the West. Since Duanliu City is adjacent to the dark area, the shops here may sell some useful weapons or equipment, so we can go and have a look."

"Oh, it seems you have some plans." Gu Tie said.

"Hehe. If the purchase goes well, the owner can pass through the dark area within twelve hours." Qing Liuli said.

Gu Tie was overly surprised and couldn't believe it, and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

"Which three are the difficulties that those mercenaries said?" Qing Liuli asked.

"The total distance is more than 700 miles, and the road is very rugged, with underground cliffs, rifts, steep slopes, and small caves everywhere. If you want to pass in a day, you have to go forward thirty miles per hour on average. On the flat ground, I have to run at this speed, but it is very difficult in the tunnel. I can use spider art to climb up the cliff quickly, but the energy consumed must be greater. In addition, we have no guide, so we must stop and recognize the road from time to time. This will also delay time." Gu Tie glanced at the leather bag in his right hand, which was full of information. Half of them were monster information and half were identifying the road, which shows the complexity of the tunnel.

"Yeah, at the Storm Source, the master was injured several times and couldn't run away. How could we bring his master back?" Qing Liuli said.

"You grabbed me and flew back, and ran faster than me." Gu Tie's inspiration flashed: "You want to do this this time?"

"Well, we need to be more professional. Master, go buy a durable second-hand jet ski first." Qing Liuli said.

"Second-hand jet ski? It's okay to forget about the second-hand motorcycle, why do you still have the jet ski?" Gu Tie asked in confusion.

"Well, do you need to spend half an hour explaining to the owner?" Qing Liuli said.

Gutie immediately asked Terra: "Where can I buy durable second-hand jet skis?"

Terra brought Gutie to a central dock in Duanliu City. There was a shop that had just opened. At the door was a group of sleepy natives standing. The sign reads 'Haglu Workshop that only makes good cars'. Terra introduced: "Except for a very small number of industrial cities, most neutral cities do not have new cars. All vehicles are assembled by technicians. A bunch of useful second-hand parts can be assembled into a finished car and can be sold in the store. The same is true for Duanliu City. Although it looks bad, the performance is absolutely fine. This Haaglu Workshop is a long-standing workshop in Duanliu City. It sells cars, repairs, sells parts, assembles cars, and modifies cars. It has done everything. It has been operating for more than 200 years and has never been removed by players who buy cars. Instead, many old customers have come to customize it."

"Well, very good, I just need this." Gu Tie said with a smile.

The natives at the entrance of the workshop were similar to those of the Haas Caravan. They were short and thin, with big eyes and big noses, and very slender hands. A long-bearded native wearing weird glasses took the initiative to attract him and bowed and said, "Great Player, welcome to the Haglu Workshop. We provide you with the best quality car modification and repair services in Duanliu City, and can also tailor the car for you."

"I want a second-hand jet ski, which is very durable and has been around for many years," said Gu Tie.

"Ah?" The workshop owner was surprised: "Sir, have you been using a second-hand car for many years?"

"Yes, I will only give you more gold coins." Gu Tie said.

The boss had to take Gutie to the warehouse behind the workshop, where there were a large number of vehicle parts, engines, wheel hubs, bearings, and many old cars waiting to be dismantled. Gutie felt very friendly at first glance, because he was also kidnapped by the beautiful selector sister in this place. Suddenly, Qing Liuli shouted excitedly: "Listen, that one."

Qing Liuli's strong obsession locked on a motorboat that looked like a shark, and Gu Tie gasped at a glance. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
