Chapter 3: Long Sand

　　 Through the jungle by the river, a wide road appeared in front of him.
　　 Ren remembers that this road is one of the main roads into the city, a few kilometers north is Longshande. At this moment, the sky is completely bright, and a farmer is pulling a carriage on the way. The cart is full of fresh vegetables and food, ready to be sent to the vegetable market in the city to sell.
　　 There are also pedestrians like Rennes, who are all in a hurry, running for life.
　　Walking on the road, Ren noticed that his physical fitness is quite good, and his physical strength is very good, at least much stronger than his previous life. It seems that he has not learned anything in the college in the past three years.
　　 I don't know if it is the benefits brought by the crossing, or the physical fitness is too good, the wound on the back of the head seems to be getting better quickly, and it doesn't hurt at all. If it was not touched with his hands, it would still make a dull pain, and Ren wondered whether the wound was completely healed.
　　While walking, Ren's attention swept across the little red flower, and immediately zoomed into the operation interface in front of his eyes, and he noticed the change with a glance.
　　 "Huh? The battery has risen by one notch. The original physical recovery is equivalent to charging."
　　 This discovery made Ren overjoyed, so he doesn't need to be afraid of running out of power.
　　 "It should be that the healthier my body, the higher the battery."
　　 Ren was thoughtful, but he felt unreasonable.
　　According to the current state of the body, even if it is fully recovered, the battery will only reach about 10% at most. How can it be increased to 100%?
　　 Then what happens when the battery is fully charged to 100%?
　　 There are too many questions to explore.
　　As I thought, a movement came from behind.
　　 Rehn looked back and saw that a black car was driving on the road, seeming to be in a hurry to enter the city. The driver kept honking his horn and drove the carriage and pedestrians in front of him.
On the sides and back of the car are guarded by four people looking like attendants. They are wearing light armor and long swords on their waists. They ride on horses skillfully and keep a proper distance from the car to avoid collisions. They are not too far away and can be at any time. Protect the owner in the car.
　　 There was chaos on the road. The farmers pulled the carriage to the side and people gave way to the road.
　　 Ren also quickly got out of the way.
　　 Soon, the car drove in front of him, raising a cloud of dust, and the cavalry rushed along, leaving a series of horseshoe prints on the ground.
　　 Watching these people leave, Renne had a strange feeling.
He knows that the world has a high level of industry, especially in the application of steam machinery, even higher than the earth. However, he saw a car driving past in front of him with a few cavalry behind him. This picture is really a bit contrary. with.
　　 In the words of the previous life, the style is wrong!
　　 When the car passed by, he also made a special observation.
The appearance of this car looks similar to that of the car on the earth. There are still a few differences in details. The windows are decorated very ornately, covered with curtains, and the internal structure is invisible. The white smoke sprayed from the back of the car has no obvious smell. It looks like water vapor because it is driven by a steam engine.
　　 "It is amazing to be able to make a steam-powered car to this point. It is not slow."
　　 In Ren's memory, he has never taken a car.
　　Because cars are one of the most high-end mechanical products, they are extremely expensive. Only nobles, rich people or extraordinary people can afford it. Ordinary people may never get a chance to get in a car once in their lives. I didn't see what the person in the car was like just now, but I think it must be rich or expensive.
　　As we get closer and closer to the city, the road gets wider and more pedestrians, and the farmland on the side of the road can't be seen at a glance. There are already many farmers working in the field.
　　This is already the suburb of Longshande. In addition to farmland, there are factories, plantations, pastures, and private estates of nobles.
　　 Soon after, a huge city appeared in sight.
　　 Looking from a distance, a large number of buildings form an endless city. The closer to the city center, the taller the house. Although there are no skyscrapers that can easily exceed 100 meters in large cities on the earth, the degree of prosperity is not backward at all, and the population is very dense.
　　 This is Longshande City, one of the most prosperous big cities in the empire, with a resident population of over one million!
　　Longshande does not have a city wall, but the defense force is very strong.
　　Ryan noticed at a glance that there is a conspicuous stone tower every few hundred meters in the city. The height is thirty to forty meters, and the top is like a fort.
　　 Weapons were installed on the high tower, but it was covered with tarpaulin, and the contents inside were not visible.
　　Rain knew that under the tarpaulin was a steam ballista, a very powerful weapon with a range of up to 500 steps, and it was a weapon for the world to guard cities.
　　 There is no city wall, but there are checkpoints on the main road into the city.
　　Because not long after dawn, the people entering the city were not too crowded, and the guards stationed at the checkpoint did not check every carriage or everyone, but occasionally stopped a few people and asked a few words and let it go.
　　 Rain often goes out of town, and there is nothing to be afraid of, so he walked over as usual.
　　 "Stop."
　　 A heavily armed guard stood in front of him suddenly, and his eyes scanned Renne.
　　 Rehn reacted immediately. The clothes on his body were not completely dry yet, and they looked crumpled. Unexpectedly, he attracted the attention of the guards.
　　 "My lord, I went out before dawn in the morning. I couldn't see the road clearly. I accidentally fell into the river."
　　 Rehn took the initiative to explain, and took a white card from his jacket pocket and handed it over.
　　On the way back to the city, he checked everything on his body. He had no money except clothes, only a key and this strange card.
　　 The size of this card is similar to that of an ID card. The material is very hard and difficult to destroy. It has Rehn's black and white portrait and brief identity information. The most important thing is the dozens of small holes on one side of the card. The card is read by a large precision machine, through which the authenticity can be distinguished.
　　 Lane’s card was issued by the college as a pass to enter and exit the college.
　　The college pass is a relatively precious thing. It is not available to ordinary people. It is regarded as a status symbol, so it is commonly used in many places. As long as the card is shown, it will be released.
　　 Sure enough, as soon as the guard saw the card, he dropped his vigilance, confirmed that the avatar on the card was Renn himself, and immediately let go.
　　 Rehn collected the cards and entered the city along the road.
　　 The main road in the city is very wide and can accommodate several carriages in parallel. There is a gas street light every ten meters. The carriages and cars run in the middle, and pedestrians can only walk on the sidewalks on both sides.
The streets paved with stone slabs are filled with traffic. The houses on both sides are row upon row. Most of them are stone-based, supplemented by wooden boards and a small amount of bricks. The tiles, the architectural style is very uniform.
　　 The streets are crowded with people coming and going, and most people are in a hurry.
　　All kinds of people pass by, the postman who delivers letters, the housewife who buys food, the apprentice who works part-time, the coachman who is full of goods, and the playful children. Some of the houses on the street are common people's homes, but there are also a lot of shops. Various clothing stores, restaurants, grocery stores, blacksmith shops, bookstores, vegetable markets, taverns, hotels, newsstands... all walks of life are available, and the whole city is full of life.
　　Walking in a city full of exotic styles, Rennes looked around curiously.
　　 He thinks of European cities in the Middle Ages.
But the two are definitely different. First of all, the sanitary condition here is very good. Well-designed drainage canals are built on the roadside, and the ground is covered with flat stones. It will never turn into a quagmire when it rains; it will not be like Europeans. In that way, the commode dumped on the street and smelly, even in Paris, which is known as the center of Europe, if you accidentally walk on the road, there will be big "goods" showers.
　　Secondly, the architectural style here is very different from the European Middle Ages.
　　 Rehn doesn't know the history of architecture, so he can't tell the specific difference.
From the personal sense point of view, Longshande’s buildings are more atmospheric. He likes to use large stones as the main material, and then engrave patterns on the stone, embellish various statues, and try his best to build the house more spacious and bright, giving people a solemn and solemn Sense of.
　　 This architectural style has an extremely strong religious color, which is somewhat similar to Baroque architecture, but it is more like ancient Greek architecture, majestic.
　　 Suddenly, a burst of scent wafted from the street side dining, causing a gurgling stomach, interrupting Renn's thoughts.
　　 He touched the empty pocket, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn it, you have to touch the corpse to kill people, and I have all my money searched. Sooner or later, this account will be clear."
　　 swallowed, Ren could only speed up his pace and return to his apartment.
　　 In memory, the predecessor hid a sum of money in the wall of the apartment. It was saved before. Although not much, it was enough to live for a while.
　　 Ren's apartment is in the Los Angeles area, not far away.
　　 The residents of the Los Angeles area are ordinary citizens, only slightly better than the slum area, and the rent is cheap, so he can afford it.
　　 Ten minutes later, Renn finally came downstairs to the apartment, went through the door to the third floor, took out the key in front of the door at the end of the corridor and opened the door.
　　 The room is not big, the layout is very simple, only a bed, a table and chairs, and a closet against the wall, there is a simple bathroom next to it.
　　 Rain took off his uncomfortable wet clothes and threw them into the bathroom. There was a bag of bread bought yesterday on the table at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. He picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.
　　 He has never felt so hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
　　 Nibbled on the cold and hard bread, with a glass of clear water, Rehn swallowed and ate a whole bag of bread quickly. The bread was originally a three-day breakfast, but he was still half full, and he felt that he could eat more food.
　　 But at least I am not so hungry, and my physical strength is gradually recovering.
　　 relieved the hunger, Ren took off his last pair of shorts and entered the bathroom, took a comfortable cold shower, then dried it with a towel, and came out refreshed.
　　 walked to the closet. He was about to put on a set of clean clothes, but found that there was a half-person high mirror on the closet door, which clearly reflected his current appearance.
　　 He stopped and carefully observed himself in the mirror.
　　 The height of this pair of body is close to 1.8 meters, the figure is slightly thin, but quite well-proportioned, and the muscle contours are more obvious. This has been exercised in the college in the past three years.
　　 The most important thing is that the capital is also very strong, Ren looked down and gave a satisfied smile on his face.
　　The flaw in the beauty is that the skin is blue and purple, and there are bruises everywhere, shocking, like being beaten up. This is also the reason why I feel pain all over my body when I just crossed over. As for the injury on the back of his head, he found a palm-sized mirror in the desk, stood in front of the full-length mirror and mirrored each other, finally seeing the appearance of the wound.
　　 The wound has healed a lot, and only a dent can be seen when the hair is lifted. The shape is relatively regular round. The skin on the edge of the dent has a strong contrast, which is obviously caused by a heavy blow with a blunt tool.
　　 Ren put down the mirror, his eyes were clouded, because he knew what was going on.
