Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 941 - 940: Target
The civilization level of Delmar Planet is quite high, and the people here seem extremely warm and hospitable. Jiang Cheng and Yanran discover that on the small town they are currently in, they often see people from the Extraterrestrial Planet together with the people from Delmar Planet, sitting at the tables by the roadside, drinking beverages, laughing and chatting, occasionally erupting into bursts of laughter.
Yanran hasn't seen such a harmonious scene in a long time. The young girl has lived on the barren Nameless Planet for too long, making her filled with curiosity about everything in front of her now.
Her girlish nature is completely revealed with the change in the environment, as she excitedly talks non-stop by Jiang Cheng's side.
The clothes in the roadside shops, exquisite ornaments, and even those fragrant baked goods all make her brim with curiosity.
She hasn't experienced this kind of life for many years.
However, she is somewhat uncomfortable with the way people stare at her, not because of her beauty, although Yanran is quite a little beauty. The real interest of those people is clearly in the Little Flaming Firebird perched on her shoulder.
The little creature, possibly in a new environment, has discovered many things exotic to her, making her refuse to be held by Yanran.
The little critter is now looking around excitedly, the various birds flying in the sky, and all kinds of animals on the ground enthuse her to no end. She keeps making cawing sounds, expressing her inner emotions.
Jiang Cheng, on the other hand, appears much more indifferent. Although this planet is relatively unfamiliar to him, he remains calm despite the novelty of everything.
The universal language of the cosmos is the official language here, allowing them to communicate well with the locals.
At the entrance of a hotel, Jiang Cheng and Yanran stop, having been on the move for so long without a proper rest. Although their bodies can handle it, even the harshest days they have survived, psychologically they yearn for that comfort.
They want to rest well for a night - a request that is not excessive by any measure.
Yet, they encounter a problem.
Jiang Cheng is highly famous on Water Ball, ensuring that wherever he goes, people are eager to invite him to various places as guests. Yanran, however, has always lived in adverse environments, merely filling her stomach daily, and is satisfied if she can eat a little better.
So now they face a problem they had never thought of before.
That is - money.
Ji Su never had the habit of carrying money, and Yanran doesn't understand what money is used for.
Now they need money to stay at the hotel.
When the hotel owner, smiling, requested that they pay, both individuals froze.
Although the owner was kind, recognizing the difficulty of these travelers, he offered them to stay in his hotel even if they couldn't pay.
Yet, the issue of money must still be resolved.
For instance, the most basic necessity, food; Jiang Cheng can go without eating, in reality, if not for savoring the taste, his body requires no food, not even water.
However, Yanran cannot quite be like him; eating is necessary for her.
Of course, Yanran feels it's okay to skip a meal or two (adde), after all, on Nameless Planet, she often faced hunger.
Such as on days when luck wasn't on her side, finding insufficient food during the hunt, or when harsh weather prevented her from hunting.
At these times, enduring hunger was unavoidable.
Both can go without or have less, but the Little Flaming Firebird is different.
They have seen the mother of the Little Flaming Firebird; the adult Flaming Firebird is quite large. The current Little Flaming Firebird, though not big, is still as big as a goose and is in a growth phase, consuming an astonishing amount of food daily, primarily meat.
Even if both humans endure, if the Little Flaming Firebird isn't fed adequately, it will definitely attack the livestock roaming around or rob the meat sold in shops; it's not at all surprising.
If such actions occur, the locals will surely fault Jiang Cheng and Yanran rather than the bird.
The hotel owner, a warm person, notices Jiang Cheng and Yanran's urgency.
He suggests that they leverage their talents to earn a small amount of money first.
The hotel owner gives this advice upon seeing the bow Yanran carries.
Such a weapon is rare on Delmar Planet; it's more fitting as a performance craft rather than a weapon.
Thus, he suggests Jiang Cheng and Yanran perform archery in the town square, now bustling with people after dinner.
Among them, many are performers as well.
If their performance is exciting enough, then not only will the hotel costs be covered, but leftover funds could provide them with a sumptuous local meal.
Jiang Cheng has never encountered such a situation before, nor has he ever thought he would do such a thing!
Street performance!
If someone had proposed this to him before, he would have thought that person was out of their mind.
Just referring to his residence alone, in the land-expensive city of Beijing, his estate is as large as an 18-hole golf course!
What does this mean?
Not even considering the buildings on it, just the land is mind-blowingly valuable.
That's absolutely astronomical.
Additionally, it's not something you can buy simply with money.
Jiang Cheng laments that truly, a penny can embarrass a hero.
Jiang Cheng, with a fortune calculated in billions, is driven to street performance just for a little lodging and food money.
Indeed, as the hotel owner mentioned, at the moment, the town square is full of people who stroll there, some walking around, others conversing with friends seated by the flower beds, especially excited are children, as they enjoy performances at every corner of the square.
Upon Jiang Cheng and Yanran's arrival at the town square, they promptly catch many people's eyes.
Their different appearance from the locals is one reason, but the people on Delmar Planet, as long as the strangers are not war-mongers, welcome people from other planets.
Therefore, the locals are only slightly surprised by Jiang Cheng and Yanran's appearance but are more fascinated by the Little Flaming Firebird.
Especially the children, who have gathered around Jiang Cheng and Yanran; the Little Flaming Firebird is their main interest.
