Chapter 5 The Young Master and the Insect Book

As the saying goes, when Zhang Mingkun reached into the mountaineering bag, he pressed the English version of the playboy down. When he took it out, the thick insect illustration was already in his hand.

The whole action was completed in one go, without any dragging, Zhang Mingkun felt that he should make a trick.

When the girl saw the insect illustration in Zhang Mingkun's hand, her face changed again, but she did not catch the dagger beside her again.

After taking this picture book, the girl carefully looked through a few pages. Zhang Mingkun also noticed the change in the girl's expression at this time, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster for a while.

After a long time, the girl closed the insect illustration and carefully straightened the pages, as if she was worried about leaving a trace of wrinkles.

"It turns out that you are from the Saint Valley. I didn't expect that the Saint Valley, which has always been known for its benevolence and wisdom, also had a seventh-level warrior. This thing is very precious, so don't show it to others for sight."

Zhang Mingkun felt a little confused. Isn’t it just a simplified Chinese version of the insect illustration? If this little girl likes it, it doesn’t matter if she gives it to her. Why is it like watching her movements now, holding a plate of diamonds?

Zhang Mingkun took the insect illustration and asked, "What's wrong? This is just an ordinary illustration. Why is it a very precious thing?"

The girl looked at Zhang Mingkun with a strange look, then sighed and said, "It seems that you rarely go out of the Saint Valley and have little understanding of the situation outside. In this vast world, there are many giant insects and beasts. Among these insects and beasts, according to their different living habits, some can help people pull carts or become fighting mounts, while some are very aggressive."

"So what?"

"The Valley of Saints, known for its kindness and wisdom, has been collecting information about various insects and beasts, and then editing them into books and keeping them. Anyone who brings newly discovered insect drawings can go to the Valley of Saints for a large amount of money by relying on the information they have discovered. Look at the book in your hand, these drawings are so exquisite... that it is as exquisite as reducing insects and beasts and putting them in directly. I really don't know what kind of painter can achieve this."

Zhang Mingkun understood a little in his heart, and at the same time he became active again, asking: "If, I mean, how much can I exchange this insect illustration for?"

I remembered that even if people speak the same language in this world, Zhang Mingkun really couldn't imagine that the RMB could be used here, so I asked in a more popular way: "What I mean is that if you sell this picture book, how many delicious things can you buy?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingkun wanted to exchange such a precious thing for money and food! The girl thought about it seriously and said, "If it is all cash, I believe that those businesses that catch insects and beasts or wealthy businessmen are willing to exchange it for a city."

"A city!"

When Zhang Mingkun is holding the picture book, he is also starting to be careful and try not to leave any wrinkles on it.

Judging from the performance of this girl, Zhang Mingkun also understood that this was a very chaotic world. It was probably the same as the war period in ancient China, and was full of hostility towards people from strange countries or nations. The king's law cannot save the life of an ordinary person here.

Although he is engaged in security work, Zhang Mingkun also understands that the reason why he lives in modern society does not have that kind of tension is because it is already a country with the rule of law.

But in this strange world, there is no legal protection. If you are not strong enough, you may be on the street the next day. This kind of environment without security is like letting a person ride an old submarine into the depths of the ocean, and you may be in a fatal environment at any time.

There is no way to imagine how to return to the original world. All you can count on is to survive in this world first.

Zhang Mingkun, who was originally bare-handed and was just better than running naked, now has an authentic priceless treasure in his hand. He was thinking about selling the picture album and then getting stable.

After telling the girl about her plans, the girl really didn't expect that Zhang Mingkun would actually sell this treasure. You must know that the amount of insect and beast information collected indirectly symbolizes the strength of a country. Looking at Zhang Mingkun's thick insect illustrations, the girl's quote from a city just now was the most conservative estimate.

After looking at his feet, the girl sighed softly and said, "Since you really want to sell this thing, you can only go to Pingliu Mansion, the largest city in Ashes County. There is the largest city in Ashes County, the most prosperous market, and most princes. Only there can you sell this thing."

Zhangmingkun was delighted when he saw the development and hope, but he immediately became cold again - in this world, he couldn't even tell the difference between the south, south, west and north, and how could he know where the fatal Pingliu Mansion was?

The girl saw the embarrassed look on Zhang Mingkun's face and guessed it.

"I just happened to go to Pingliu Mansion to buy something so that I could continue to practice in the fifth level grassland. Now I'm injured on my feet and can't challenge the Black Demon Heaven for the time being. By the way, I forgot to ask you why you came to the seventh level forest? Saint Valley has always looked down on warriors. Should I also contact the strongest warrior in Ashes County, Black Demon Heaven?"

Zhang Mingkun was now overwhelmed and explained to the girl that she came from a place called Earth? She would probably be treated as crazy talk.

After stammering for a few moments, Zhang Mingkun had to abide by the identity of this "people in the Valley of Saints" and said that the purpose of his trip was not easy to inform.

The girl was also tactful and did not continue to ask questions.

Originally, the strong are the most respected among warriors. Although this girl is determined to challenge the Black Demon Heaven in the Seventh Level Forest, she only calls for a battle at the end of every month and dare not easily enter the Seventh Level Forest to cause trouble.

When he heard the girl mention the Black Demon Heaven repeatedly, Zhang Mingkun felt that he had not met the warrior in that forest, and he was really full of gods and Buddhas.

After all, he was a newcomer, and this time he was just bullying the girl living in a low-gravity environment, and his strength was far inferior to himself. If Zhang Mingkun had met the warrior who could practice in the local seven times gravity environment from the beginning, he might have been in danger without being prepared.

Thinking of this, he didn't have time to talk nonsense, so he helped the girl up and let her get on the big grasshopper.

Fortunately, this big grasshopper is even bigger than an ordinary horse, and it doesn’t feel embarrassed when the two of them sit on it. Moreover, the girl didn’t know whether she was not familiar with the world or had no distracting thoughts from men and women in her heart, so she didn’t even care about riding with Zhangmingkun.

Before instigating the big grasshopper to jump, the girl turned her head and looked at the stainless steel pipe in Zhangmingkun's hand that was originally a safety handrail bar on the tourist bus, and said, "It is really worthy of being from Saint Valley. In the eyes of a warrior, this extremely strong weapon in your hand is much more valuable than the insect picture book."

Zhang Mingkun looked at the "slim version of the Snake Mare" that had been abandoned by the girl, and immediately understood the backwardness of the world's metallurgical craftsmanship. It is estimated that even ancient Chinese bronzes were much more familiar with than this bird metal spear.

With a better vision of the future, Zhang Mingkun sat on the back of the big grasshopper and followed the girl nicknamed Green Thorn Sky toward the Pingliu Mansion.
