Chapter 279 First Arrival

At the end of October 4419 in the solar calendar.

The mist in the air is already a bit cool.

Rock State.

Bronze City Peacock City.

At the entrance of the huge city, there is a spacious river lying across, and a huge suspension bridge stands quietly here, accepting the crowds and carriages.

Below the bridge, there are thirty-two huge reinforced concrete stone pillars. As the foundation and support points, they stand firmly in the river, with only half of them exposed.

The top of the suspension bridge is covered with countless special steel wires, which are connected to the carved guardrails on both sides of the suspension bridge. It looks like a huge slingshot.

As a natural city barrier, the river is called "The River of Weiling" by local residents. This word is often used in large-scale speeches in the Omto College District. It means "affinity, protection and dependence". meaning.

There are many tall ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the Weilingzhi River. It was late autumn at this time, and the countless leaves that adorned it had all turned yellow, just like the setting sun at this moment, shedding a dull light.

At this moment, the giant carriage in which the circus is riding has already passed the large suspension bridge, and has passed inspection and payment at the city gate.

These are all negotiated by Golov, and there is no need for Chen Lun, the head of the regiment, to do it himself.

With the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce as a capable partner, the circus has a legal "operating" certificate in the empire, as well as a formal pass. Even every member is a "pure" imperial citizen.

After paying one silver medal and twenty-five copper crowes as the entry fee, the circus received a stamped entry certificate and a salute from four guards.

Although the certificate is just a thin piece of copy paper, it feels very inferior to the touch, and even the ink is not clear, but this alone is more formal than most cities in Gem State.

As the carriage entered the city, the huge carriage did not attract the attention of pedestrians.

Because Peacock City is a port city, there are many chambers of commerce and individuals doing business, and large carriages abound.

"Mr. Jack, where are you going next?"

Golov's voice came from outside the curtain.

Memories about Peacock City emerged in Chen Lun's mind. Although he had been here in his previous life, he didn't stay here for a long time, so now many impressions are beginning to blur.

"Go to the branch of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce here first, we need a little help."

Chen Lun thought for a while and said.

A group of people are newcomers, so it is not advisable to be too ostentatious, and keep a low profile so as not to cause unnecessary troubles. At the same time, it also needs the help of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to give it a place to stay.

His purpose is very clear. He came to Peacock City to avoid the red disaster, immerse himself in development, and give his companions a relatively stable space for growth... Incidentally, to get the opportunity hidden in Peacock City.

In his previous life, Chen Lun learned about the rumors about opportunities in Peacock City from posts and videos on game forums.

At that time, it was already the early stage of version 2.0. After the version was updated just now, some people couldn't wait to post to show off, saying that they got good things in Peacock City.

Since then, one after another, some people have posted posts claiming that they also picked up a bargain in Peacock City.

As more and more posts appeared, everyone had the illusion that Peacock City is a city full of opportunities, a place where you can take off when you come.

Some players even dubbed Peacock City the "Sanctuary of Ascension".

Chen Lun was also driven by curiosity at the time, and followed Daliu to Peacock City. But it was later discovered that those rumors were all lies!

This place is no different from other cities. Opportunities exist, but most of them are small side missions. There are only a few "big treasures", which have been hollowed out long ago.

The players who came to Peacock City and discovered the truth shouted that they were deceived.

When Chen Lun was walking on the street, he would often encounter players who were cursing.

But these people did not refute and debunk, but joined the ranks of "Peacock City is a good place" and posted posts on the forum to follow suit, saying that they picked up a strange thing today, got extraordinary knowledge tomorrow, and met a noble widow the day after tomorrow. …

In the end, the city was completely "deified" by the bewildered people, and it was also used to play tricks and create momentum.

But Chen Lun still chooses to come here for a reason.

That is, among the countless "opportunity posts", there are indeed three, which are true and credible news, and this time point has not been discovered by anyone.

This was due to a certain "appraisal post" boss in the forum at that time, who deduced from the fragmentary clues that three of the posts were true, and the rest were jokes.

His analysis has something to say, and the person concerned did reply to confirm it later, and even took out some of the real objects he had obtained as proof.

Because the matter had been heated for a while, Chen Lun was quite impressed by it.

He even remembered some clues about those three opportunities.

Golov asked passers-by for directions while driving the carriage.

After a while.

Finally, after a lot of stumbling, the circus arrived at the gate of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Lun asked the other companions to wait in the carriage, and only brought Floy with him. The two went down together and walked into the gate of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The welcome lady at the front desk was well dressed and came up to ask questions with a smile on her face.

Chen Lun didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly took out the high-level keepsake silver ring coin, and asked the other party to ask the top person in charge of the branch, saying that he had something important to discuss in detail.

Miss Yingbin's delicate makeup showed doubts at first, then she remembered something and stared at the silver ring coin in surprise.

"Ah... Dear Sir, please wait a moment, I will inform Mr. Todd!"

She said a little nervously.

Chen Lun and Floyd were arranged to sit on the luxurious and comfortable sofa, and the welcoming lady hurried upstairs. During the movement, the side of the long skirt with slits on purpose is faintly visible.

The other young women at the front desk looked very surprised, their eyes wandered curiously on Chen Lun and Floyd, not knowing what kind of noble status these two handsome men and beauties are.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes followed the welcoming lady downstairs.

He looked a little nervous, wiped his sweaty palms, and strode forward.

"Dear Mr. Jack, welcome to Peacock City, I'm sorry I didn't know about your arrival in advance, otherwise I will definitely hold a grand dinner to welcome you!"

Todd has a low profile and speaks comfortably.

Chen Lun knew that the other party was talking politely, so after shaking hands with him briefly, he said:

"Mr. Todd, I am overwhelmed by your enthusiasm."

"Oh no, this is a necessary courtesy, and it is also a respect for you."

Todd saw the young man in front of him and felt that he was easy to get along with, so he let go of his hanging heart.

Chairman Rosa has already conveyed the message to the following. Mr. Jack Speight is her best friend, and the circus is the highest-level partner of the chamber of commerce. She ordered that no branch should be neglected.

"May I help you?"

Todd asked this question tactfully.

"This time I came to Peacock City, my companions and I may stay for a while, but because we are new here, we don't have a place to stay yet, so..."

"Mr. Jack, please rest assured that the Chamber of Commerce still has more than 100 apartments, more than 20 villas, and the title deeds of seven or eight manors. You can choose at will..."

Todd said quickly.

He gestured to the young lady beside him to fetch the information, then smiled and said to Chen Lun:

"Of course, I also have a large vacant apartment in my hands. If you don't mind, I can give it to you as a gift..."

"You are very kind, Mr. Todd."

Chen Lun smiled back, but shook his head.

"No need, I'll just pick a manor from the information later, and it's not in vain, as much as it should be."

Todd wanted to say something, but Chen Lun raised his hand to stop him.

"Although Rosa and I are good friends, business is business, and the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce cannot lose money...Mutual benefit is the reason for a long-term relationship, isn't it, Mr. Todd."

"Of course, this is the most important thing in business. President Rosa has a friend like you, which is really enviable."

Todd made a compliment.

Afterwards, the young and beautiful welcome lady trotted over with a stack of documents, handed the documents to Todd, and Todd presented them in front of Chen Lun with both hands.

Chen Lun thanked him, and after receiving the materials, he directly put aside the documents of ordinary houses and apartments. He is not short of money now, and he doesn't want to wrong himself and his companions, squeezed into a small space.

After a round of simple selection, he selected a manor in the northeast of Peacock City.

There was originally a winery, the owner was a man of great taste, but for some reason, he left here and moved to live in another city, thus selling the property to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why Chen Lun took a fancy to it is that the place is big enough. In addition to the villa in the main building, there are six servant houses, grape plantations, stables, warehouses, basements and wine cellars, etc., without additional construction.

In addition, the manor is not far from the city center, and the transportation is convenient.

The price of this winery is not cheap, with a price tag of 1,368 gold pounds, plus some other taxes and service charges, it will cost almost 1,400 gold pounds.

This price is close to five times that of the manor in Amber City when it was purchased. But at that time, in order to build new facilities, there was no shortage of money.

"Just this winery."

Chen Lun clicked on the directory on the file, and said to Todd.

"You really have taste, this winery is the residence that suits your identity... Mr. Jack, please wait a moment, it only takes ten minutes, oh no, five minutes, we will definitely complete all the procedures for you."

Todd said complimentingly.

He then vigorously ordered the two male subordinates to enter an office with documents in their hands.

Not for a moment.

The male subordinate came out with a land deed and several matching kraft paper document bags, and Todd handed it to Chen Lun himself.

"Mr. Jack, it just so happens that this manor has been idle for too long, and the Chamber of Commerce decided to discount it, so it adjusted its price to 800 gold pounds. I hope you like it."

A smile appeared on Todd's face.

Chen Lun couldn't help raising his brows, thinking in his heart that he would do things.

"Then I really caught up with the good time, thank you, Mr. Todd."

He calmly took out an Imperial Bank certificate, signed it and handed it to Todd.

"You're welcome, Mr. Jack."

Todd took the black card, personally sent Chen Lun out of the building, and said courteously:

"If you need anything, you can come to me at any time... Finally, I wish you and your companions a happy life in Peacock City."

There was a problem with the system. I stayed up late last night until 3:00 to write the manuscript, and it was automatically sent to me at 3:50, and it was still messed up. My lungs really exploded, and I felt bad when I woke up in the morning.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder really can't stand it, what a hot backstage.

But don't worry if you have already subscribed, it has been modified.
