Chapter 119 Bully
“I didn’t go to school.” Iron slag said.

“You … you didn’t go to school?” Qin Ke’er asked in surprise, her expression incredulous. Then, she changed her mind, wondering if this would be another trap. Although this country bumpkin from the Northern Wilderness had an honest appearance, he was not ambiguous in deceiving others. He had almost been cheated just now (in fact, he had already done so). Thinking of this, Qin Ke’er’s face tensed up and she said, “Don’t think that I’m a girl that’s easy to cheat, hmph ~”

“I really didn’t. I won’t lie to you.” Tie Zha said seriously.

“Didn’t you even go to primary school?” “No.” “Then what did you do when you were young?” “Run everywhere.” “I see. You must be traveling with your family.”

“It’s either for fun or running around the house.” Tie Zha explained.

“Oh … if you don’t learn to run around, won’t your parents scold you?” Qin Ke’er asked.

“No … Probably not …” This time, it was Tie Zha’s turn to not know how to answer. He subconsciously didn’t want to say that he was an orphan.

“I heard that everyone in Northern Wilderness likes to pick up trash. Do you … do you pick it up?” Qin Ke’er asked curiously.

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.

Qin Ke’er thought for a moment and said, “Oh …” Then, she turned around and continued forward, not saying anything along the way. She had never taken a fancy to this young man from the Northern Wilderness and did not want to interact with him at all. However, Elder Ebony had personally received him just now, allowing her to familiarize herself with her surroundings. This caused her to have the misconception that she didn’t see anything outstanding about the other party. In the end, she probed with anticipation, but she was extremely disappointed. So this person is really a garbage collector …

Facing Qin Ke’er’s sudden cold and hot attitude, Tie Zha did not react and just silently followed behind. Although he didn’t understand women’s thoughts, he also understood that Qin Ke’er didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

The two of them walked silently for a while before arriving at the foot of the city wall. There was an entrance checkpoint in front of him, and there were several uniformed staff members standing there.

“You can carry weapons when you enter the city, but you need to register.” Qin Ke’er said indifferently.

Tie Zha nodded in understanding, then entered the checkpoint and lined up for inspection.

At first, Tie Zha thought that the stronghold had some money. After all, this was the rule of the Northern Wilderness. But just as he took out his money bag, Qin Ke’er pressed it down.

“What are you doing?” Qin Ke’er frowned and asked in a low voice.

“No need?” Iron Slag asked.

Qin Ke’er couldn’t help but reveal a disgusted expression. Her brows furrowed even deeper and she said impatiently, “Do you think this is your Northern Wilderness?”

“Sorry, I don’t understand.” The iron slag put away the money bag and apologized.

Perhaps because she felt that her attitude was a bit excessive, Qin Ke’er changed her tone and whispered, “It’s fine, just check it as usual.”

It wasn’t long before it was their turn. One female staff member was responsible for examining Qin Ke’er, while the other male staff member was responsible for examining Tie Zha.

Tie Zha took out the admission notice and identification from his inner pocket and handed it over. The male staff member received the information and asked, “Where did you get it?”

“Northern Wilderness Continent Boiler Castle.” Tie Zha replied seriously.

“Is it cold over there?” “It’s not cold now.” “I went there the year before yesterday. The Sand Scorpion over there is pretty good.” “Not bad.”

“Do you have any contraband? If you do, you can settle it here.” The male staff member said.

“This is my first time here. I don’t know what I can’t bring.” After saying that, Tie Zha took out everything from the motorcycle and placed it on the workbench one by one.

“Drugs like stimulants, hallucinogens, and weapons of mass destruction.” As the staff checked, they patiently explained, “Drugs can corrupt people, and large-scale destructive weapons can easily cause accidents. There are many densely populated areas in the city. If there is a fire, the impact will be very large …”

As he spoke, the staff member picked up Tie Zha’s “Sharp Sparkle” and carefully examined it for a while.

Tie Zha’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the other party had noticed something?

“What a good sword. What kind of material is it made of?” The staff member asked.

“I’m not sure about the specifics. The boiler castle’s market may have been filled with hidden steel.” Tie Zha replied.

The staff member thought for a moment and put down the sword. “Yes, this sword is quite special. I seem to have seen it somewhere before. I remember that I saw a similar style in the museum last time. It’s also a single-edged straight sword. You can go and take a look when you have time.” He added, “It seems to be the Northern Continent Museum, but the temporary passes to Upper City are not easy to get.”

“Alright.” Tie Zha nodded. Not long after, the staff picked out three explosive grenades and two steroid stimulants from the items and said that they could not be brought into the city.

“A shotgun, a single-edged sword, and a Merlin. Alright, please sign your name.” As he spoke, the staff member handed over the registration form.

After Tie Zha signed his name, the procedures for entering the city would be completed. “Mr. Zhang, your three explosive grenades and two steroid stimulants can be exchanged for 2 gold and 6 silver. Do you want to open a storage cabinet to store them, or do you want to replace them directly?”

“Replace it.” Tie Zha replied. He didn’t expect the staff here to be so serious. They had already taken their personal pockets in the Northern Wilderness.

Soon, the staff brought 2 gold and 6 silver. Tie Zha put away the money, thanked him and left the checkpoint. He only had 51 gold coins with him, plus this windfall, now 53 gold and 6 silver.

Qin Ke’er waited outside. She was so unhappy that her mouth shrank when she saw the iron slag coming out. She complained that it had taken him so long to pass the checkpoint that she almost fainted from hunger.

Tie Zha said embarrassedly, but he was very unhappy in his heart. In less than half an hour, he said “I’m sorry” twice. Today was probably the most apologetic day of his life.

However, now that he was under the eaves, he had no choice but to lower his head …

“I’ll treat you to dinner.” Iron slag said.

“Really!” Qin Ke’er instantly came back to life and asked with a happy expression.

Seeing Qin Ke’er’s reaction, Tie Zha felt a headache. Not long after, the two of them walked on the streets of the city one after the other.

The streets here were clean and tidy, the ground was made of colorful stones, and the surface was very smooth, reflecting the scenery of the block. On either side of the street was a dwarf tree planted every ten meters. Between the dwarf trees was a long flower bed. The garden was surrounded by a white wooden fence, and it was full of beautiful flowers.

Walking on the streets, when there was a gentle breeze, one could smell a faint fragrance of flowers.

The buildings on both sides of the street were very old. Some of them were red bricks and white tiles, some were green bricks and red tiles, and some were made of marble. Although the building materials were different, all of them were clean and spotless.

He was used to seeing the dirty Tie Zha and felt that the street was cleaner than the floor of his bedroom in Tieshan Town.

After entering the city, Qin Ke’er’s mood improved and she became talkative. She pointed at the shops and shops along the street and introduced them to Tie Zha. This was one of the twenty-four functional areas of the Academy District and Lower City District.

The academy area was divided into four blocks, north, south, east and west. There was a college in each block, and at the junction of the four colleges was a large park.

The street that surrounds the park is called Central Street. Central Street was a circular street that connected to the main entrances of the four academies. At the same time, Central Street was also the largest commercial street in the entire academy district. There are all kinds of restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, cinemas, gyms, swimming pools, skating rinks, amusement parks and so on.

Qin Ke’er said that they were now heading towards Central Street. One was to have afternoon tea, and the other was to enter the academy from Central Street.

Tie Zha asked what afternoon tea was, but Qin Ke’er said that afternoon tea was afternoon tea, so she couldn’t explain it. Tie Zha asked if afternoon tea was dinner, but Qin Ke’er said no. Tie Zha asked if afternoon tea was lunch, but Qin Ke’er said no.

“Then I understand.” Tie Zha said confidently.

“Huh?” Qin Ke’er blinked her eyes and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“Afternoon tea is afternoon tea. There’s no explanation.” Tie Zha returned the words untouched.

“You” Qin Ke’er stared straight at the iron slag. If her gaze could kill, the iron slag would die again …

“Am I wrong?” Tie Zha raised his glasses and asked indifferently.

“That’s right!” Qin Ke’er stomped her foot angrily and quickly walked towards Central Street. She had made up her mind that this afternoon tea would ruin the country bumpkin.

At this moment, a crisp jingling sound suddenly came from behind. Iron Slag turned around and saw a large double-decker car slowly approaching. The street was wide and the bus was very slow. The iron slag dodged to the side for a moment and passed the bus.

Knowing that the city could drive, Tie Zha immediately stepped onto the motorcycle. He twisted the accelerator and chased after Qin Ke’er. Then, he grinned and said to Qin Ke’er, “Beauty, get in the car!”

Qin Ke’er ignored him and walked straight forward. By this time, Tie Zha’s patience had reached a critical point. His gaze darkened, the accelerator twisted, and he rushed over with a “buzz” sound. He hugged Qin Ke’er’s slender waist and directly rested on her shoulder. Then, he rushed down the straight street towards Central Street.

Qin Ke’er’s face turned red as she shouted, “Whoosh! Whoosh! Put me down! Put me down!” She slapped Tie Zha’s back forcefully. However, the latter did not move at all and carried her along the streets like this! Qin Ke’er didn’t dare to struggle as the speed of the car got faster and faster. If it fell at this time, it would definitely turn into meat sauce.

However, the good times did not last long, and Tie Zha was quickly stopped by uniformed patrol officers.

“Hello, sir. The speed here can’t exceed 20 kilometers per hour. Please show me your identification.” Tie Zha had no choice but to give the ID card and the admission notice to the patrol police.

Qin Ke’er stuck out her tongue at the iron slag.

The patrol officer looked at the information and asked, “Are you from the Ancient Era’s War Bear bloodline?” Tie Zha nodded. The patrol officer smiled and whispered, “I’m from the White Snake bloodline.”

Tie Zha did not understand what the White Snake bloodline was, but the other party had definitely shown him goodwill by expressing such a stance. So he grinned and said, “Well, I’m leaving.”

“Go, don’t speed again next time, or you’ll be fined three gold coins.” The patrol officer left as soon as he finished his warning.

After the patrol officer left, Tie Zha waved his hand at Qin Ke’er. The meaning was very clear: “Get in the car!”

Qin Ke’er hesitated for a moment before finally climbing onto the back seat of the motorcycle. The eyes of the young man in front of him were unwavering. He was definitely the kind of stubborn donkey that would walk down a path until it was black. It wasn’t hard for her to imagine that if she refused, the consequences would be unimaginable. She didn’t want to be carried away anymore. This garbage collector was extremely strong. His body was like iron, and it hurt to hit him back.

“Friend, your choice is correct.” Tie Zha slowly drove the motorcycle and said without turning his head.

Qin Ke’er felt as if her chest was about to explode with anger when she heard her opponent’s words. But if she knew what Tie Zha really thought, even her soul would probably be enraged.

Just now, Tie Zha had already thought that if she didn’t dare to get in the car, he would carry her up and spank her butt twice to let this girl know how powerful he was in Tieshan Town.
