Chapter 467 The Birth of a Collector

Bai Ding's hometown is in Crystal City.

It was a city located at the northernmost tip of the world, and it was the capital of the old Fearless Empire, where the ancient city walls, streets, and totems were all well preserved.

In this old city, there are many young ethnic groups living.

There are Yao people who migrated to participate in local construction very early.

Most of them are now farmers, herders, glassworkers and traders.

There are bully locusts who turn into city guides.

They have been in and out of the city all year round, and they are most familiar with the streets, alleys, accommodation, food, and celebrity anecdotes of Crystal City.Relying on their nimble and sharp minds, these small Zerg residents are like a fish in water in the city.

There are plenty of ghosts left over from the Empire.

Ghost warriors became more and more famous and became an important professional group.Phantom scholars travel around the world, give lectures in towers and colleges, and pass knowledge and ideas to every settlement.

The Yutu family also lives here.

They abide by their duties, are good at running, and have their own place.

But as the number of ghost warriors continued to increase, they quickly replaced Yutu and almost monopolized security and defense work.

The reason is also simple. The ghost warriors grow very fast in the initial stage, and most of them have rich combat experience, excellent individual combat capabilities, and can adapt to various environments.

Although the Yutu clan is physically strong, they are not a fighting nation.

Everyone has discovered that the Jade Rabbit is big, but when it comes to life and death, it basically wins less and loses more.They were gradually replaced by more specialized practitioners such as ghost warriors and war cats.

Not only Bai Ding, but the entire Yutu family are facing severe employment problems.

The long-distance running ability of Yutu has come in handy in the past, such as sending messages across cities, or transporting some small items, and so on.

But now that there are steam carriages, sky lanterns, and crystal gates, everyone no longer needs to hire a carrier who runs on two legs.

The advent of the crystal structure era opened the door to a new era for many ethnic groups, but for the Yutu clan, it was a wave of unemployment.

Today, there are two most common jobs for Jade Rabbits in Crystal City.

One is to grow mushrooms and berries in the forest, and then bring them to the city to set up stalls for sale.

The second is to put on the exotic clothes ordered by the store and run around the city non-stop to promote the store-this is Bai Ding's job, and this line of work is called "Rabbit Running".

"It's useless to run fast!"

The Jade Rabbits are often moved by this.

Due to their natural habits, the Jade Rabbit family lives alone. They are keen on lifting stone locks and discus to exercise their muscles. If they get together, they are prone to fights and conflicts.

Coupled with the fact that they are born nocturnal and their hearing is too sensitive, they are overly vigilant and nervous, so the jobs that Yutu can find are indeed limited.

Bai Ding is very envious of the clan of sword bearers.

As a race that was enlightened by the gods at the same time, the sword bearer is now a representative of martial monks and a model of practitioners.

They are not many in number, and their style of being indifferent to life and death and challenging the limit is admired by the younger generation of the Yao people.

As soon as the sword bearer appeared, many people would take the initiative to strike up a conversation and treat guests to dinner, just to chat with them and learn about their cruel practice and life-and-death struggle.

The two races of the same period.

The Jade Rabbits fell into unemployment and worried about their livelihood, but the sword-bearer became the star of the Yao clan, and has been carrying out his ideals.

Why is this happening?

Natural gap, acquired choice, or just bad luck?

Bai Ding couldn't figure it out.

At the age of 19, Bai Ding, the rabbit man, decided to change his life.

It packed its bags, followed the migrating army and left its hometown, rushing to the cutting-edge newly developed city, Shacheng.

……

It is said that the family of sword bearers arose from Shacheng.

Many sword bearers died under the monk Huayun outside Shacheng, but it also gave birth to the legendary swordsman Bear Sword North.

He once rushed to the battlefield of the Kingdom of God, entered the enemy camp single-handedly, stabbed the enemy apostle to death and retreated.

It is said that later he went to challenge the Eighteen Disaster Beasts—but during the challenge, Bei Dache realized that he was no longer obsessed with fighting and swordsmanship, and disappeared without a trace.

Since then, some people said that they saw him in the Yancheng Museum, others said that he haunted the port of Yaocheng, and some people saw a figure suspected of carrying the sword north outside the dragon's lair... A hermit.

If you can recognize him and succeed in apprenticeship, you might be able to become the next Grandmaster Taixi.

After Bai Ding came to Shacheng, his expectations were quickly crushed by the cold reality.

The competition in this city is scarier than Crystal City!
The influx of a large number of reed people and bamboo people has caused all kinds of jobs in Shacheng to be snapped up. Compared with people from the world of the Yao nationality, reed people and bamboo people cherish the opportunity to stay in Shacheng more.

Bai Ding had no choice but to return to his old business and became a local [Running Rabbit].

Every day, it carries the sign on its back and runs around the streets and alleys of Shacheng.

The sign said "Mina Antique Shop, Buying All Kinds of Treasures Sincerely".

The owner of the antique shop is Mina. She is a kind and elegant lady with long wine red hair, but she always keeps it behind her head, low-key and capable.

Boss Mina has had two husbands, and it is said that each of them has a small family fortune.

The only thing left to her by these two husbands is cold and heavy money.

The negative sword family has a good relationship with her, and the famous swordsman negative sword rain in Shacheng will often visit here.

The boss likes to buy all kinds of rare treasures, but the so-called treasures are actually based on her personal preferences.

If Boss Mina likes it, she is willing to pay a lot of money even for an ordinary stone.If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't even bother to look at out-of-print handcrafted armor or ancient books.

Boss Mina sometimes joked, "Bai Ding, isn't Yutu quite courageous? Why are you scolded by those who bring fake products, and you dare not expose them?"

Bai Ding smiled a little embarrassed.

This is also its Achilles' heel.

Baiding has been very timid since he was a child. He is naturally thinner than other jade rabbits, and he is afraid of disputes and fights.

Even if it finds that someone has been cheated or suffered injustice, it cannot stand up and speak out like other jade rabbits.It can only tell the victim, or comfort the other person, after a long time.

This is also a reason for leaving Crystal City.

Even among the Yutu clan who are not doing well, everyone looks down on Bai Ding. Even if he has nothing, Yutu at least still has the heroism left by his ancestors!

Everyone often reprimanded Bai Ding.

"How could we be such a coward like you? If someone bullies you, then fight back and stand up when you see injustice. This is what the jade rabbit should do!"

"What about you? You can run, what a waste!"

Bai Ding has the courage to escape.

It does not dare to face the danger directly.

"However, it's not a bad thing to be timid."

Boss Mina also said: "If you want to survive, you have to learn to avoid disasters and threats. In fact, this world has never defined what each ethnic group and each person must do... Lord Yaoshen has never given such an order."

"It may be that the strength of the jade rabbit is too conspicuous. Everyone seems to have forgotten that the earliest rabbits and off-road rabbits were timid species, living by running and identifying dangers."

"These things that are taken for granted now, after the timeline is extended, it was not the case in the past, one or two hundred years ago... The wild is full of dangers, and meddling in other people's business is a fool who thinks about life. All kinds of lives have their own way out , everyone just took different paths. Don’t worry too much about it.”

Even though he knew it was the boss's consolation, Bai Ding was still very grateful.

……

During a daily running job, someone suddenly stopped Bai Ding.

"Is it Mr. Bai Ding? Please wait a moment."

It was greeted by a strange man in a yellow cloak.

Wearing a peaked hat, the man looked like a mage.He is tall and straight, with a stiff face, no matter what expression he makes, there is a feeling that he is trying his best but doesn't cooperate well with his muscles.

He claims to be Yazdan, a magician from the distant Resurrection Kingdom.

"Thanks to the kindness and gift of the gods, I am able to make up for my crippled body here, and I am still getting used to my new right hand recently."

Yazdan raised his right hand, revealing a metal arm from its sleeve.His Yao language is very difficult to pronounce, and the foreigner's accent is worse than that of Bai Ding.

Bai Ding hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Yazdan, I don't have the money to watch your magic tricks... I'm just a running rabbit. If there is nothing else, I will continue to work."

"Wait a minute."

The magician in yellow said, "I want to hire you."

"what?"

Bai Ding was a little puzzled, he fastened the rope tied around his shoulders to ensure that the propaganda plank on his back would not fall off.

The other party said: "I am the chief reporter of the Shacheng Mansion Newspaper, and I want to hire you as my assistant."

Bai Ding had heard of the name Di Baoguan.

Boss Mina talked about this word frequently when chatting with Negative Jianyu.

It is said that this is a brand-new organization of the Shacheng Temple. The old bulletin boards will be changed to paper printing, so as to become regular newspapers, so that various news inside and outside the city can be spread faster.

But so far, I haven't seen any newspapers.

Yazdan said that the wooden notice board turned into a newspaper will have a huge and far-reaching impact.

In the past, only the most important notifications could be accommodated on the bulletin board, such as disaster alerts, talent recruitment, the opening of passages in Yao cities, and so on.

The content of the newspaper is more than ten times that of the bulletin board.

The above includes not only important notices, but also various detailed trends in the city: such as when the rose garden will open to the public, what products are sold in the store, when will the latest martial arts conference be registered, when will the academy recruit students, and how many people will they recruit? ...In addition to this, it will continue to report on the movement of the entire Yao Kingdom, as well as various major events happening in the outside world.

The duty of the interviewer is to collect materials everywhere, organize and record them, and then publish them in the latest newspapers.

The most important thing is that the newspaper is printed fast enough, and an issue will be published every few days.

All these deeply attracted Bai Ding.

But it still doesn't understand what relationship it has with the wind collectors.

After much deliberation, the only thing that may matter is running fast.

"You are good at long-distance running, which is of course an advantage, but the most important thing is that you are very timid, and you will not take risks and provoke troubles. Caifeng will go through a lot of things, and if you get caught in it, it will be very troublesome."

"Beyond that, I need your opinion," Yazdan said.

"Evaluation?"

"Correct."

The magician said: "Because of the racial characteristics, I can't judge whether the feelings brought about by certain information are good or bad, whether they are in line with people's love or people's disgust. In the final analysis, my position is only about the belief of gods... …And you, born of a heroic descendant, have a keen sense of what makes people angry and frightened."

"In short, I need an assistant who can tell right from wrong, but not provoke and get caught up in right and wrong."

"And you, Bai Ding, are my ideal candidate."

"For me, you alone can be a thousand troops."

The other party's polite compliment still moved Bai Ding very much.

The boss was really right.

There is a way out for the timid.

After confirming Yazdan's identity and what he said was true, Bai Ding resigned from his job as a rabbit runner and resolutely became a wind collector as Yazdan's assistant.

As Yazdan said, the pay for the wind collectors is quite good, they can move freely, and they can travel to many places at public expense reimbursed by Shacheng.

Then, Yazdan's words gave Baiding the urge to resign.

"We may go to the Twin Snake Empire to gather folk tales."

"Don't worry, it won't be that fast, but it is indeed a big action on the agenda, and we will wait for the situation to be relatively safe before making specific arrangements."

A smile appeared on Yazdan's face: "The Twin Snake Empire is the main civilization of the Resurrected Kingdom, and it is also the partner of the Yao people. It's not a big problem for us to go there as Yao people's sand city collectors. The apostles have already fought Hello."

"Just a little trouble."

"Wars are breaking out there now, so when we go there, the accommodation conditions may not be so good along the way. We have to overcome these difficult conditions."

Bai Ding couldn't laugh.

Is this a question of accommodation?

The war in the Twin Snake Empire was rumored to be a rebellion.But it was rumored in the mansion newspaper, but in fact it was a battle between the electors for the position of emperor.

After going there, can you really come back alive?
Bai Ding expressed doubts.

Yazdan finally promised: "If you are really worried... I can go there alone. Don't force it. It's not yet that time, it's still very early."

Only then did Bai Ding feel relieved.
