All Heavens: Starting from Douluo

Chapter 1669: Changes over the Years

The young and the young left home and returned to their hometown.

The children met each other, and smiled and asked where the guests came from.

Before this, Lin Chaoci had only memorized this poem and understood its meaning.

But when it comes to experience, it’s still a little bit lacking.

After all, like before he traveled through time, although he had studied in other places, he would still go home during the holidays, the most common being winter and summer vacations. Even if he went to college, he still had to go home, and it was not necessary for him to work part-time outside for both holidays. In addition, he had some hobbies and interests, and he wrote several online novels. Although he did not make much money, it was still very comfortable compared to those who had to wear doll costumes to work part-time in the summer. Moreover, the advantage of writing online novels is the relative freedom. With a computer or even a mobile phone, an Internet connection or data traffic, you can write anytime and anywhere. You can write in the dormitory or after going home on vacation. Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether you can go home on vacation.

And after traveling through time, it is obvious that there is no going back.

At least I can't go back for now.

To say that I have any insights into this poem is pure nonsense.

Unless he can go back.

Perhaps you can understand this poem more deeply.

Although he is not without a house to live in after traveling through time, as everyone knows, a house and a home are two different things. Even if he re-establishes a family, after all, there are many girls who have had relationships with him along the way, but this does not affect his nostalgia for his hometown, or his nostalgia for his past memories.

To put it bluntly, if he really went back.

Return to the hometown before traveling through time.

But what he saw was not the scene he remembered.

But it is a renovated high-rise building.

He will definitely feel disappointed.

If he still had the strength at that time, he would even resort to force to restore this area to its original appearance, or in other words, to the appearance in his memory.

Ultimately, that's human nature.

Everyone wants to gain and doesn't like to lose.

However, theoretically speaking, there is no way to avoid losing.

The rule of this world is the survival of the fittest.

Not everyone can do whatever they want.

Therefore, all losses can be attributed to insufficient strength.

Like the use of force.

It doesn't seem to work.

Just one person.

How is it possible to affect the lives of all people in this area without paying any price, or even get the cooperation of all local forces, or even all the forces of a country or even a planet to assist in the restoration work at all costs?

But the reality is that it is entirely possible!

Assume that he has star-blasting level combat power.

The kind that blows up a planet with one punch.

Even if he said, I am the ancestor of all mankind, all mankind would have to admit it, because no one wants to die, at least most people don't want to die. Even if a few people are dissatisfied, they will be suppressed by the majority and forced to obey. After all, if you want to die, you can find a place to die. We can put aside our desire to help others and respect your choice, but you can't let all of us be buried with you because of disobedience.

Therefore, it is important to have strength.

As for what to do if you don't have the power...

Obviously obedience.

In other words, accept this change.

Therefore, although he has many houses after traveling through time, those houses only contain part of his memories, which are two different concepts from the home that represents the source. The Xiao family in front of him, or Wutan City, although it is not his hometown, it should be said that the sense of substitution that comes with reincarnation is indeed not comparable to simple time travel. Although it is not so sentimental, it is reasonable to have some emotions.

Looking at the pedestrians and carriages at the gate of Wutan City.

Lin Chaoci, dressed in a black robe, put his hands in his pockets.

Beside her was Xiaodie, who was also wearing a black robe.

Also watching all this silently.

In fact, it is not accurate to describe the two people's attire as a black robe, because underneath the black robe, the two people have another set of martial artist's attire, with arm guards and leg guards, including a waist corset, which is a belt, all configured according to the standard military uniform pattern. The so-called black robe is more of a black cloak. Although such attire would be a bit strange in modern times, in this world where extraordinary people are rampant, and in this context of different races and different aesthetics, it is not so strange, but very normal.

To put it bluntly, there are quite a few people who dress like this.

After seeing it so many times, you get used to it.

Dressing like Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie is extremely common around the border and forests, especially around the Tagor Desert. It is the favorite configuration of many mercenaries, making it convenient for movement and combat.

The black cloak facilitates movement at night.

Moreover, it can effectively prevent the invasion of dust.

Many specially made cloaks, which are made of Warcraft fur, can even be used as soft armor. They have strong resistance to scratch-type attacks and can even be immune to water and fire to a certain extent. In addition, when encountering a tough opponent, you can take off the cloak to block the opponent's sight and create opportunities for yourself. Although this trick is of little use to monks with higher realms, for monks below the Dou Wang level, it can still make the enemy flustered for a second.

And in battle, one second is enough to determine victory or defeat.

In addition, the cloak can also serve to conceal the body shape.

For example, adding shoulder armor to the inside of the cloak.

It can make a woman's back look like a man's back.

Just put the mask on again.

Change your voice.

Basically, it can be mistaken for the real thing.

In addition, some weapons can be concealed.

Although weapons are not very popular among high-level cultivators, many cultivators below the Dou Ling level use weapons. However, after reaching the Dou Ling realm, that is, after being able to transform Dou Qi into weapons, the weapons used by cultivators are all condensed from Dou Qi and can be changed at will. Unless they are weapons inlaid with high-level magic cores, otherwise, they are not enough to attract cultivators. In addition, many elixirs also require magic cores as raw materials, so the popularity of weapons is further weakened.

Therefore, the function of concealing weapons is not very important, not to mention that some weapons with more peculiar shapes cannot be concealed. To put it bluntly, it is easy to hide a dagger or a short sword, and it is more practical to hide a crossbow. If it is replaced with a long knife or a long sword, including Lin Dong's halberd and Xiao Yan's giant ruler, such things cannot be hidden at all. At best, they are put into the storage device carried with them and taken out for use when needed.

But the problem is that not many people have this configuration.

Storage devices, such as storage rings.

It's not something that's common on the street.

Even the cheapest ring.

The kind with an internal space of one cubic meter.

Its price is enough to exchange for a third-grade elixir, or the rarer second-grade one. It is not something that can be bought with a few or dozens of gold coins. At least hundreds of gold coins are required. According to the purchasing power of the Doupo plane, this is equivalent to millions. One gold coin is approximately equal to ten thousand yuan, one silver coin is approximately equal to one hundred yuan, and one copper coin is about one yuan. The conversion rate is basically one hundred. A small storage ring costs millions, which is indeed not something that ordinary cultivators can afford.

Let’s put it another way.

Monks who can afford to buy a ring do not need to conceal their appearance.

They are all the kind of people who can make a name for themselves.

Refer to Yunlan Sect.

Not to mention the outer disciples.

Even the inner disciples were not equipped with it.

Storage rings are only equipped at the elder and deacon levels. In other words, every elder and deacon in the Yunlan Sect must have a storage ring. However, the total number of elders in the Yunlan Sect is less than ten, and the total number of deacons is less than a thousand. This is enough to show the price positioning of storage rings.

For most mercenaries.

The cloak is still very useful.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of the cloak is the price.

You can buy a set for a few silver coins.

It can also be modified later.

For example, you can draw some patterns on it to prove your identity, including which mercenary group you belong to, so that you can quickly identify the identities of both sides when going out on a mission.

However, functions like the ones mentioned above are not used by Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie. The only function they can use, or the function they value more, is the obvious improvement in the dust-proof effect of the cloak. In addition, these two cloaks have been modified by Lin Chaoci and have good performance in defense.

Now, Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie have grown up.

Lin Chaoci was fifteen years old.

From a distance, he looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Xiaodie is twenty-two years old.

At the prime of life.

He looks quite young.

It’s mainly because Xiaodie has a baby face, so she always looks smaller.

She is obviously twenty-two years old.

Instead, she looks like a little girl of eighteen or nineteen.

Plus, she's of average height.

Standing next to Lin Chaoci, who was growing faster, they complemented each other and were overtaken by Lin Chaoci by half a head. Young boys and girls like this are not uncommon anywhere, so they naturally don't attract attention.

As for cultivation, there is no need to mention it.

If these people at the city gate can see the true cultivation level of a Dou Wang and a Dou Huang, it can only mean that either these people at the city gate are not simple, they are all Dou Wang or stronger than Dou Wang, or Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie deliberately release their aura for these people to sense.

Moreover, even if it is the latter.

He also has extremely high demands on the people around him.

To put it bluntly, the aura released by a Dou Huang is obviously stronger than that of a Dou Wang.

But no matter whether it is Douhuang or Douwang.

The pressure released gave ordinary people the feeling that the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.

They really find it difficult to perceive the deeper differences.

Plus, Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie were already unknown.

This was the case in the Xiao family before.

In addition to daily meals.

The rest of the time I hardly go out.

Not many people in the Xiao family know them.

Not to mention those who knew them outside the Xiao family.

It can't be any less.

He is completely different from Xiao Yan who became famous in previous years.

Therefore, the possibility of being seen through exists only in hypothesis.

"I went out when I was six years old."

"Head to Yunlan Sect."

"At the age of eight, he went to Zhongzhou for training."

"Until now, I have returned at the age of fifteen."

"Nine years have flown by in the blink of an eye. It seems like only nine days have passed instead of nine years. It's like not seeing you for just one day feels like a long time."

After pondering for a long time, Lin Chaoci smiled and said this.

Leading Xiaodie, he walked into the city.

Observed the changes in the city.

The same goes for Xiaodie.

I was dazed at first.

Then, he began to observe the present-day Wutan City.

Many changes happen silently.

Compared with Wutan City many years ago.

Today, Wutan City is obviously much richer.

All these changes are inextricably linked to the auction house in the center of Wutan City. In other words, it is precisely because of this auction house that the economic circulation of Wutan City has improved significantly.

"Built five years ago?"

Lin Chaoci gazed thoughtfully at the magnificent auction house not far away. Xiaodie supplemented his thoughts, pointing to the emblem hanging above the auction house from a distance and saying, "Young Master, look, it's the Miter family crest. This means that this auction house was built by a direct descendant of the Miter family. But logically speaking, Wutan City is located inland and has no special products. It's not a major city or close to a major transportation route. Building an auction house here is a pure loss-making business. Even if it does well, it will only make a small profit. The Miter family should not be blind to this..."

The Miter family's business is indeed spread throughout the Gama Empire.

The auction house is part of business.

But it follows a different path from ordinary business.

Because the auction venue needs the support of the environment and guests.

It is also a fourth-grade pill.

In a major city, or in the capital of the Gama Empire, tens of thousands of gold coins could be easily obtained, but in a small city like Wutan City, obtaining thousands of gold coins was already quite good.

The reason is that everyone has no money.

It's not just one or two people who are short of money.

But no one can afford tens of thousands of gold coins.

Even if an item is too precious, it may still fail to sell because the reserve price is too high. For any professional auctioneer, this is an implicit questioning of their ability.

Therefore, auction houses are often established in economic or political centers.

Auctioneers also try their best to squeeze into auction halls with such an environment.

Trying to prove your worth.

Trying to get a higher price.

Give yourself the opportunity to get a promotion and a raise.

The Mittel family dared to send a direct descendant to Wutan City to build an auction. This practice completely violated common sense. If this direct descendant was really hopeless, the Mittel family only needed to give him food to eat and there was no need to let him run it. After all, as everyone knows, we are not afraid of the rich second generation eating, drinking and having fun, but we are afraid of the rich second generation starting a business, and might suddenly lose a huge sum of money. But if this direct descendant is capable, even if the Mittel family wants him to start from the grassroots, there is no need to arrange this direct descendant so low, so low that there is almost no room for appreciation.

“This is suppression.”

“It’s also forced.”

Lin Chaoci, who has read the original novel, knows the inside story very well.

Shake his head.

Just a simple explanation.

Then, he raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Well, let's just treat it as a spare piece. Xiaodie, come with me to see the owner of this auction house..."
