Chapter 139: Leaving the City
The deputy captain opened the door and said, "Then I'll go first; there are others who want to buy."
The old man regained consciousness, lifted his head, and warned, "Be cautious in the cold weather."
The door behind him was already closed, and the deputy captain understood this. The whole family felt sad about losing their pillar, but he couldn't regret it. If they waited a little longer at that time, more people might have died.
The old woman placed her belongings in her backpack and returned to her bedroom.
The family is still wearing winter clothes despite the temperature being above 10C, which can only slightly block the cold.
"Mom, did the deputy captain come just now?" Xiao Chen's wife asked.
"Well, he bought some good things from his friends and sold them to us at the original price. Let's try them on later," she said as she took out a bright yellow down jacket.
Xiao Chen's daughter-in-law took the down jacket and felt that it was very warm to the touch.
There's also one that's obviously for children.
The old lady placed the newly purchased heating stove in the center of the room and then added firewood. She discovered that the stove distributed heat rapidly. After lighting it for just a short time, she felt the warm air blowing on her face.
"Use the big one first, and keep the small one last. The deputy captain walked so fast just now that I didn't have time to return it."
The old lady was a little choked up as she spoke, and the daughter-in-law hugged the child and patted her on the shoulder. "Get well soon," she said.
Some ordinary residents in the city-state know that the deputy captain of the city guard sells high-quality winter clothes, heating items, and even potions at low prices.
There aren't many things available, and each person can only purchase one serving.
Everyone knew which floor and room number the deputy captain's house was on, and some people went straight to the other party's house to get supplies earlier.
Yao Bing'an and Li Aoting visit various shops every evening, and as long as there are any leftovers, they will cover them all.
These life-saving materials were continuously distributed by the deputy captain.
In this funding, they did not spend any money themselves but only provided a source of goods, which helped many families.
And he was still in his city lord's mansion, thinking about assigning patrolling NPCs to follow him outside the city.
However, there are well-meaning people in the city, and there are people with bad intentions. There are many people in the borrowing hall, and people from other teams know about the deputy captain selling supplies for ordinary residents.
Some people watched the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, so they brought this matter to He Ange.
When He Ange saw the email, he was very angry. The vice-captain had seemed quite loyal before, but he hadn't expected him to do this behind his back.
The key is that he buys supplies and then resells them himself.
According to the person who sent the email, the quality of those materials was more than a star and a half higher than those sold in his store, which made professional residents want to buy them.
From He Ange's point of view, all the members of the team were his subordinates, so it was unbearable for him to make another small mistake, so he began to send an email to the vice-captain.
[He Ange: I heard that you have been reselling supplies recently, the quality isn't bad, yes, I haven't seen you form a team for a few days.]
There is no such thing at all. The establishment of a team in a city-state needs to be reported, and there will be a special column in the friends list of the team members to mark the classification of teammates.
Up to this point, the vice-captain is still a member of his team, but the game world doesn't set any rules for the team; everyone just gets together.
The deputy captain expected that He Ange would know about this.
[If you have sinned, you must make some compensation. ]
Such a simple sentence made He Ange almost blacklist this person. He had two people in mind who would provide material channels.
But thinking about Sun Ming guessing that there might be wild monsters outside, and they are limited if the vice-captain is driven out, it will probably cause public outrage. By then, the whole group will run out, and they will not kill the wild monsters when they encounter them.
[He Ange: I am arrogant because I have material channels. It was Yao Bingan and Li Aoting who sold you. You are so much better than me. This will take advantage of my closure of the shop and start reselling to make a profit.]
He knows that prices in Xuantian City are low, but the last time he went there was in summer, and he doesn't know how much things cost there now.
When the deputy captain saw this, he just sneered and did not reply to him.
He Ange didn't want to let him go and felt that he was right, and he didn't reply because of a guilty conscience.
[He Ange: Everyone works together anyway, I have no other intentions, just doing business together, you sell to me all the things that come from there later so that I won't talk about you earning the difference.]
I thought he was making a difference, so I threatened him with this.
The deputy captain could not understand the current city lord. He had not been so evil before, but now it seemed as though he had fully awakened his evil gene.
[You can do whatever you want, I have a clear conscience. 】
After speaking, he deleted his name from the squad roster, which meant he had quit the Castellan squad.
I don't know if this operation reminds other teammates, and the players in the classification quit one after another.
After training in the city for some time, for some reason, the various squads in Xuantian City seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all had the intention of going out.
Lu Jiu and the others have been coming to the training room every day these past few days, and they are able to handle wild monsters ranging from brown iron level to bronze enhanced level.
The tailor shop has already released winter clothes with a temperature of 30C, but Lu Jiu thinks that this should be the best time to wear them when it is the coldest.
Furthermore, the training room simulates the winter temperatures of the field, and the clothes I am wearing today are sufficient to endure the cold.
Zhuang Yun made lunch for his daughter at home, and then he went out, and An An also knew that he was going out.
But this time An An didn't show a sad expression like before, but took a deep breath and said to him: "Dad, you have to work hard outside, I will make good bags at home, and when you are old, I will have money to support you."
Zhuang Yun is a big man, and his nose is sore at this time, "Yes, Dad is working so hard now to make money, and when I am old, I won't be short of money. Just live your life, just like we said before."
Anna pouted and nodded, "I know."
He patted his daughter on the head, turned, and went out, and outside the door, two teammates were leaning against the corridor wall with their arms folded.
"Here we come."
"Yeah."
...
The three of them were the first to go out of the city in winter, and when they reached the gate of the city, someone noticed them. "Wow, are they going to go out? It's so cold outside. They won't freeze into ice sculptures, right?"
"Is that so..."
Lu Jiu and others are leaving the city, and everyone on the other teams knows.
They still have some doubts about the simulated environment in the training room, but if someone goes out to be the first person, they are also happy to see what will happen to the person here after they go out.
Now Lu Jiu and the others are separated by a protective shield, and beyond that is the real wild environment.
Lu Jiu patted the gloves on and said, "Let's go, I hope I can meet some wild monsters today."
The three of them stepped out of the protective cover and immediately felt that the temperature around them had dropped significantly. Warm clothing keeps you warm.
Sure enough, the game world system had pitted them against each other, but fortunately, the gap between them was not too big.
Shen Jufeng covered his face with a scarf, "It's okay, let's go."
In the cold wind and snow, the figures of the three quickly vanished at the gate of the city.
