There is indeed a problem with my plug-in

Chapter 167 Hitchhiking

"Are you looking for relatives in the main city of the human race?"

Hank looked suspiciously at the two "children", one big and one small.

Yes, in the eyes of Hank who is nearly forty, Li Yi, who seems to be at most 20 years old, is just a child.

Especially in a place like the wild!

But judging by their clothes, they didn't look like ordinary people, and Hank didn't think of them as bad guys.

It's a bit like a naughty kid who ran away from home!
However, after all, he was an old man. Although Hank was confused, he did not ask such personal questions as "Why do you want to go to the main city of the human race?"

Instead asked:

"You said you ran into thieves and lost your way? But how did you get away?"

You can let all the black iron-level rookies run away, and such a thief hasn't starved to death yet?
Hearing this question, Li Yi smiled "shyly" and said:
"Well... I am the Awakened One, and I have special escape skills!"

For example, kill all the opponents directly, and then run as you want!
What surprised Li Yi was that after Hank heard him say that he was an awakened person, he didn't ask any other questions and directly agreed to his request to accompany the team.

It seems that the identity of "awakened" has some special meaning!

Of course, with Li Yi's disposition, although he was puzzled, he would not ask directly.

Instead, he hugged Feibli with a "thank you" expression and followed Hank back to the motorcade.

……

At this time, Li Yi learned from Hank's introduction that this convoy was actually a temporary caravan assembled by several small businessmen.

This time they mainly went to several villages under the jurisdiction of the town to do some work such as buying local products and reselling commodities.

The acquisition has been completed at this time, so the convoy is now returning to town with the purchased goods.

And Hank's mercenary group is the guard they hired this time.

This area is close to the Elf Forest, so there is not much of a security problem. Hank and the others mainly have to deal with evolved beasts.

This is why Hank didn't take too much precaution when he saw Li Yi.

(At the same time, Li Yi also knows that the elves and the human race are allies and are not as hostile as he thought.

What the elves hate is actually the slave-catching team and the so-called "nobles" who like to "collect" elven slaves! )

……

Because it is hired by multiple parties, Hank's identity is actually more like a team leader, which is why he can directly accept Li Yi and his companions.

Now the situation is like, Hank leads the team, and the other businessmen just follow the car.

As long as it doesn't really endanger the safety of the team, the "head" Hank has the final say on how to arrange the personnel.

In addition, I don't know if it's because of Li Yi's status as an "awakened person" or because of Phoebe's young age, Hank even arranged a place for Li Yi and Li Yi on the last cart.

At this time, Li Yi discovered that the cart that seemed to be full of goods actually had a compartment.

Although the carriage is not big, it can still accommodate five or six people.

With a car, Li Yi naturally would not insist on walking.

"By the way, how long has it been since I took public transportation?"

Sitting in the not-so-comfortable carriage, Li Yi was suddenly filled with emotion.

……

The caravan itself is small, so there are not many people.

Counting Hank's mercenary group, the entire team only has about twenty people.

According to Hank's own rules, unless they are wounded, mercenaries are not allowed to sit in the car, so as not to respond in time when there is an emergency.

Therefore, the carriage where Li Yi and the two were sitting was actually quite empty at this moment.

Besides them, there are only two people.

One is one of the merchants in the caravan, the ore merchant Uncle Pippen.

The other one is Zhang Leli, a young man who is also a hitchhiker like Li Yi and others.

According to Hank, Zhang Leli was a troubadour who was traveling to accumulate creative materials.

Oh, I forgot to mention that there is a fee for hitchhiking, and the fare is Hank’s extra income.

This is probably why the mercenaries are willing to vacate their positions, and why they have no objection to Hank's acceptance of Li Yi.

……

Originally, Li Yi saw that Zhang Leli had black hair and eyes like himself. He looked like a "comatriot" with the blood of the Republic, and he was also a "troubadour", so he wanted to get close to him.

You must know that in addition to music and literature, the profession of "troubadour" is generally proficient in history (not necessarily official history) and various miscellaneous studies.

Li Yi wants to know how long he has slept and what happened during this time, there is no faster way than to find a bard to find out!

However, Zhang Leli had an attitude of "keep away from strangers". Except for giving Li Yi a cold gift when he first got in the car, he kept holding a notepad and didn't know what to write.

Seeing his behavior like this, Li Yi naturally wouldn't put his hot face on his cold ass.

I simply changed my chat partner and started chatting with Uncle Pipeng.

After all, for Li Yi now, every piece of information from the outside world is valuable, and being able to talk about one is one.

(Who has never tried to click and chat with an NPC when they first played an RPG game? Right?)
……

As an old fritter who had been beaten up in society for many years before time travelling, Li Yi naturally had special cliché skills.

Coupled with the loneliness of the journey, Uncle Pi Peng easily opened the conversation box under Li Yi's induction.

At the beginning, Uncle Pi Peng was talking about the journey itself.

The price of ore from a certain village has increased again, the output of which ore has decreased...etc.

I slowly talked about the low profit of reselling ore, and I couldn't save much money after a hard trip, so I barely made a living.

Then he added that the profits from reselling the ore were not high, and those big consortiums looked down upon him, so he could still make some hard-earned money...

At this time, Li Yi asked at the right time, you are not too young, and you must have saved some money before, why don't you retire or change to a more comfortable job?

Sure enough, Uncle Pi Peng immediately changed the topic and turned to his daughter!
He said that he has a daughter in his family who is not badly talented, and he needs to save money to let her go to the city, preferably a big city for further studies!
If they could become "Awakened", their family would be transformed!
When he said this, Uncle Pippen's face seemed to glow.

This made Li Yi sigh, no matter what time it is, parents seem to be the same when they talk about their children.

……

However, although Uncle Pippen's words did contain some "useful" information.

For example, the current administrative divisions of the world, from small to large, should be villages, towns, cities, big cities, and finally the main city!
But there seems to be no concept of country!

In other words, the concept of country has been diluted!

For another example, it seems that becoming an awakened person has become a very difficult thing, at least a very expensive thing!
But this information is of little value!

After thinking about it, Li Yi asked:
"Is it really that good to become an awakened person?"
