Chapter 101 2nd Floor Underground
Lu Jinyan's lips twitched. It's not here either? Could it be on the next floor?
"Are there any loyal ones on this floor?" Lu Jinyan hadn't forgotten about buying demon slaves. This floor had medium-level demon slaves, who looked strong and healthy, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"There are a few, the system has already marked them for you!" The system's smile stretched from ear to ear. Lu Jinyan exclaimed that she couldn't bear to look.
Lu Jinyan glanced at the system panel and, following the system's prompts, selected four more people: two little girls, twins who were quite good-looking and had a cute appearance; and two strong and healthy men who would surely be efficient at their work.
Including the little girl mentioned above, that makes five people: two in charge of cooking, two in charge of cleaning the yard, and one in charge of guarding the gate. That's all!
Of course, Lu Jinyan didn't forget about choosing a demon servant for Lin Churan and Ruohan. Although Lin Churan and Ruohan strongly objected, saying they didn't need anyone to serve them, Lu Jinyan insisted.
Because she always felt that she and Chu Chu had people serving them, while they didn't, it felt a little inappropriate. Lin Chu Ran couldn't persuade Lu Jin Yan, so she also looked around and finally chose a round-faced little girl. The little girl was quite cute. Lu Jin Yan glanced at her loyalty and thought it was okay, so she didn't say anything. Ruo Han looked around but didn't say anything.
Lu Jinyan didn't say much. To be honest, none of the remaining people were very loyal. It was better if he didn't choose them. He would try the next layer and say to the woman with the rabbit mask, "These few will do. How much do you want?"
Lu Jinyan pointed to the five demon slaves in front of her and spoke to the woman wearing a rabbit mask.
The woman glanced at the silver tags hanging around the necks of the five people, and then said, "This pair of sisters, 120 each, this one, 100 each, and these two, 150 each! A total of 640 demon crystals."
Upon hearing the price, Lu Jinyan exclaimed inwardly, "Good heavens! The price for one Yuan Yi here is enough to buy two of them! This place is utterly ruthless! And the price difference between here and there is like night and day. One Yuan Yi costs twenty demon crystals here, but here it's several times more!"
"Okay, we'd like to go down to the next floor, is that alright?" Despite her complaints, she was still determined to buy it, and not only that, she wanted to go down to the next floor.
The woman wearing the rabbit mask smiled and nodded: "Of course, please follow me, sir!"
"Girl, what are you going to do on the next floor? The pass alone costs a thousand, and you've already bought them all, haven't you? Let's go back now that you've bought them all!" Furong quietly tugged at Lu Jinyan's hand and said with some heartache.
Thinking to myself, I spent over six hundred demon crystals just to buy these few demon slaves. Even if I were rich, I wouldn't spend money like this!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's alright. Ruohan hasn't chosen a suitable servant yet. Let's go down and take a look!" Lu Jinyan didn't say that she was also heartbroken. She wanted to leave too, but she couldn't leave because she hadn't found her target.
Furong sighed, thinking to herself that young people these days are just like that, they don't know how to save money at all, but since they don't seem to care about the cost, she couldn't say much and could only go along with them!
The woman wearing a rabbit mask led them to a stone cave. Several guards stood watch outside the cave. Inside, there was still a table and a chair. On the chair sat an old man, dressed in rags, with a full head of white hair, dozing with his eyes closed.
Lu Jinyan blurted out "Holy crap!" and then quickly covered her mouth, thinking, "What the hell? Why is this old man here again? He's got enough to do!"
The woman wearing the rabbit mask looked up at Lu Jinyan and asked, "What's wrong, guest?"
"Ah? It's nothing, it's nothing!" Lu Jinyan waved her hand awkwardly, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing that she was indeed alright, the woman wearing the rabbit mask didn't ask any more questions. She led the group to the old man and respectfully said, "Grandpa, these gentlemen would like to go down to the next level!"
The old man opened his eyes, glanced at the group, and remained silent. Instead, he extended his hand, and Lu Jinyan immediately understood. She took out a thousand demon crystals from her bosom and handed them over. The old man accepted the demon crystals with satisfaction, then took a jade tablet from the table and handed it to Lu Jinyan.
Lu Jinyan reluctantly accepted the jade pendant, thinking to herself, "This thing costs a thousand demon crystals! I'll only play with it for a little while before I have to return it. Ouch, ouch!"
The following steps were almost identical to those above. The woman wearing the rabbit mask walked to the wall, pressed something, and a passage appeared in the wall. At the other end of the passage was a woman wearing a fox mask. The woman bowed to the group and said, "Honorable guests, please follow me!"
Lu Jinyan raised an eyebrow. "Oh ho, the price is different, and the way they address you is different too?" The first floor above ground and the first basement floor are called "guests," but the second floor is called "distinguished guests." It is indeed quite expensive, a thousand yuan!
"Guest, here are your silver tokens, please take them!" The woman in the rabbit mask handed five silver tokens to Lu Jinyan. Lu Jinyan took them and strung them on the rope that the man in the bear mask had given her on the first floor. The little tokens strung together jingled and looked quite pretty!
"Thank you!" Lu Jinyan said, without saying anything more, and went straight into the secret passage, following the woman in the fox mask.
Just like before, as soon as the group entered, the door to the secret passage closed. On both sides of the passage were luminous pearls the size of goose eggs, and someone was guarding them every now and then. This time, after walking for about fifteen minutes, the group stopped again, and in front of them was the familiar iron gate.
The familiar actions continued: a knock on the door, the door opened, and another woman in a fox mask appeared. Just like before, one woman's entire face was hidden in the mask, while the other only showed the lower half of her face. The woman with the full-face mask bowed and left, while the woman with the half-face mask led them into the second floor. From her initial surprise, Lu Jinyan was now quite calm and composed.
She thought there was nothing to be surprised about, but Lu Jinyan was surprised again after entering the second floor.
It was still a large training ground, seemingly the same as the two floors above at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was different. The demon slaves here were all dressed in uniform, clean and tidy clothes, their hair neatly combed, and the women wore makeup and jewelry. They all had excellent complexions, and the men were all tall and handsome.
Although the cages were still iron cages, the number of people inside had obviously decreased. Each cage here held only four or five people, and the space was very spacious. The iron chains on their hands and feet were also thinner than those on the two upper layers.
