虬？
"What is that?" Someone asked puzzled.

Xu Ming said: "Maybe everyone is unfamiliar with the name Qiu, but it has another name, Qiulong."

"Dragon?" Everyone was shocked.

The Qiulong is actually related to the dragon in mythology and legends.

"The Qiulong is not a dragon, but a giant snake with horns. This creature did not exist originally. It is a supernatural creature that invaded our place from another world after the Tianqing incident. The Qiu was found in a dangerous area of ​​a city and was hunted by a group of practitioners. Their corpse was sold to a pharmaceutical company. The practice cabin is produced by dissecting and studying the corpses of various supernatural creatures." Xu Ming said.

"There are many similar things. If you are confident in your own abilities, you can try to enter the danger zone. If you can capture or kill a supernatural creature alive, you can earn a lot of money."

Zhang Gao repeatedly stopped and said, "Forget it. We are in the danger zone to be fed. Facing those extraordinary creatures, it's not enough to fill the gaps in our teeth. I'd better work as a guide and earn money. Li Yi, don't you agree?"

Li Yi said, "Working is just a transition. Have you ever seen a worker get rich? If I had that ability, I would definitely go to the danger zone to catch a supernatural creature. As long as I succeed, the money I earn is enough for you to spend for a lifetime. If there is not enough profit, how do you think that Qionglong became an accessory for the training cabin?"

"Those practitioners walking in front are not fools. They are willing to take the risk of hunting Qionglong because it must be profitable."

Xu Ming nodded and said, "Yes, in the face of huge benefits, even powerful practitioners are willing to risk their lives to do something dangerous."

"Okay, everyone, let's eat first. There is a rich variety of food in the cafeteria. If you don't want to waste a lot of time eating, we will also provide nutrient solution. However, you can only drink it in the cafeteria and cannot take it away."

Everyone saw that a variety of delicious foods had already been prepared in the cafeteria on this floor, including large amounts of steaks, fresh raw fish, big pots of broth, and piles of fruits and vegetables.

These can provide practitioners with a large amount of nutrition.

"Since there is food, I will definitely eat it." Zhang Gao said, "The nutrient solution is only suitable for use during cultivation. It's better to eat now that I'm not cultivating."

"Why is that? Isn't nutrient solution more convenient?" Li Yi asked.

Zhang Gao immediately explained, "That's because our bodies as practitioners are undergoing transformation and evolution. Eating a lot can activate our ability to digest and absorb food. If we drink nutrient solution for a long time, our gastrointestinal function will gradually weaken, and eventually it will not be able to keep up with the speed of body evolution, leaving hidden dangers. We spend most of our time practicing, so we have few opportunities to exercise our digestion and absorption abilities, so we should try to eat when we can."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi suddenly realized and learned some new knowledge about cultivation.

"Thank you for your answer. In that case, I will also choose to eat."

Zhang Gao immediately laughed, and then continued: "Li Yi, when you eat, it's best to choose meat such as steak, chicken and duck. If possible, it's best to eat it with some bones, which will have a better effect on our stomach and intestines."

"Yes, some beasts in nature can even digest large bones. We practitioners are constantly evolving, and our body functions will sooner or later surpass any beast in nature. So sooner or later we will master the ability to digest bones. Necessary exercise is indispensable. Well, without further ado, let's start eating." Another practitioner nearby expressed his agreement.

Soon, several people began to frantically take food and then found a place to sit down and eat.

Li Yi was not polite either, and took various delicacies at will. He wanted to feast his stomach this time, because there were many things here that he usually couldn't bear to eat, and now that he finally got the chance, of course he had to eat them up.

"Li Yi, what happened before was a misunderstanding. I sincerely apologize to you here. I hope you don't take it to heart. If you need any help in the future, I will definitely help you."

At this time, a practitioner came over with a plate and apologized solemnly.

His name was Lu Jue, and he did not want to offend a potential practitioner over such a small matter, and he was not the instigator, so he wanted to take advantage of this meal to resolve the misunderstanding.

If this misunderstanding is not resolved in time, and conflicts break out again in the future, they will really become enemies.

After all, the circle of practitioners in Tianchang City is not that big, so we will meet each other every day.

Li Yi was startled, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at him calmly: "I am not the kind of petty person. Since you have taken the initiative to apologize to me and are willing to resolve this misunderstanding, I am happy to accept it. Everyone goes out to make money, not to make enemies, and I don't have any deep hatred with you."

"Thank you."

Lu Jue took a deep breath and relaxed. "I was also coerced at the time, and I didn't expect Wu Zhen to do that."

"Everything that happened before is in the past. Let's eat." Li Yi nodded.

Only the strong deserve to be treated kindly. The weaker you are, the more likely you will be bullied. He has long understood this truth.

"Li Yi, I have to apologize to you as well. I should have stood up in that situation instead of hiding in the room and doing nothing." Zhang Gao also came over at this time and said with some annoyance.

Li Yi said: "This is none of your business. You don't need to apologize to me. I don't blame you." He would not resent Zhang Gao for not helping. After all, it was their first meeting and they were all strangers. It was normal for Zhang Gao to choose to protect himself. There were not so many good people in the world who were willing to stand up for what is right.

"That's good. Some misunderstandings should be resolved as soon as possible. It's better to have more friends than more enemies when you go out. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's eat, eat." Zhang Gao laughed and then started to eat.

Li Yi didn't say anything and continued to eat and drink.

However, Zhao Xiaoxiao, who saw this scene not far away, looked hesitant.

"Should I also apologize to Li Yi and clear up this misunderstanding?" She was very hesitant.

"Will your apology be of any use?"

At this moment, Wu Zhen, with a bruised face and nose, walked over with a sneer: "You look down on others from the beginning."

Zhao Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, "I looked down on others at first, but I never thought of bullying them. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a little snobbish. I just misjudged them."

"The process is not important. You have a part to play in this matter. You and Li Yi have made enemies. Instead of apologizing, you might as well find a way to make Li Yi unemployed. His cultivation is not going well because he lacks money. If he saves a lot of money from this job and then uses the environment here to cultivate, it will be really dangerous."

Wu Zhen said, trying to pull Zhao Xiaoxiao to his side.

"If you want to deal with Li Yi, go ahead and do it yourself. I won't drag you down." Zhao Xiaoxiao said angrily.

At this time, Xu Ming, the supervisor who had just left, came back, accompanied by two assistants, each holding a box in their hands.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but considering that I have other work to do, I can only settle your first day's salary here."

"Paid salary? That's great."

All of a sudden, everyone stopped eating and gathered together one after another.

Xu Ming took a payroll and looked at it. "Zhang Gao, you worked six hours without interruption, and your salary is 54,000 yuan."

Then an assistant opened the box, quickly took out a stack of money and started counting it. Soon, the salary of 54,000 was handed to Zhang Gao.

Although a salary of 54,000 yuan may seem like a lot, it is actually just a small stack, because the largest denomination now is 1,000 yuan, not 100 yuan as before.

But Zhang Gao was still very excited after receiving it, because this was the largest daily salary he had received since he became a guide.

"Zhao Xiaoxiao, your working hours are six hours, and you have been guiding the work without interruption. Your salary is 54,000 yuan." Xu Ming said, and continued to let his assistant pay the salary.

Zhao Xiaoxiao took the salary, counted it, then nodded and put it away.

Later, Lu Jue and another practitioner also received their salaries, both of them received 54,000.

"Wu Zhen, the working hours are six hours, but you woke up once from your trance, so according to the contract, your salary will be reduced by half, a total of 27,000." Supervisor Xu Ming said, "I hope you will work more seriously next time."

"I will adjust my condition tomorrow." Wu Zhen's face looked a little ugly. After receiving his salary, he did not leave immediately, but looked at Li Yi.

He wanted to know how much Li Yi earned for six hours of guiding work.

After all, he was the only one among the seven people who signed the second contract, and the second contract had no basic salary. How much you earned depended on how much cosmic energy you guided.

Li Yi was also very curious at this moment about how much money he had earned.

Xu Ming glanced at the salary list and was a little surprised. He then said, "Li Yi, you worked for six hours. During this time, you guided a total of 2,200 cosmic energies, so your salary is 220,000."

Two hundred and twenty thousand?

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Yi in surprise.
