Chapter 1756: Chapter 1603: Entertainment Tycoon of Another World 33

Jian Shuangshuang went to Yan City by carriage, and this carriage was personally designed by Jian Shuangshuang herself and specially custom-made by someone.

Although there is an Emperor in this world, many class concepts are not that strict. For example, a lot of gold and silver jewelry and Jade that weren’t allowed in many ancient societies, and even gold and silver that common people in some worlds weren’t allowed to circulate.

Also things like the color of clothing, the size of residences, the style of sedan chairs and carriages—back in the ancient times she’d visited before, all of these had strict standards you couldn’t overstep even half a step.

But in this world, none of that matters. As long as you have money, even if you live more luxuriously than the Emperor, no one is going to care.

Jian Shuangshuang isn’t a flashy person, so her carriage isn’t gorgeous—just very big. It needs a pair of horses to pull it, and the carriage compartment is practically the size of a small room.

Thick rugs are laid inside the carriage, with a table in the middle to put food on, drawers all around for storing all kinds of snacks and little things, and in the back there’s even space to put luggage.

If they miss a place to stay at night, three grown men lying down to sleep in this carriage wouldn’t feel crowded at all. You could say Jian Shuangshuang’s carriage is extremely comfortable.

Not to mention, in order to achieve a shock-absorbing effect, Jian Shuangshuang even went all out and wrapped the wheels in rubber.

Of course, this rubber isn’t real rubber, but a substance made from the juice of something called Flowing Juice Grass. Flowing Juice Grass is a Primary Spirit Grass and can be used for Cultivation.

Because this thing has a bit to do with Cultivation, its price is naturally not cheap. Even though it’s just a Primary Spirit Grass, it still costs ten silver coins a stalk, and a single Flowing Juice Grass at most can be squeezed into only a bowl-bottom’s worth of sap.

When the sap of Flowing Juice Grass is left out for three days, it turns into a transparent, rubber-like substance. But this stuff is way tougher than rubber—chopping it with knives or hacking it with axes won’t damage it at all, it’s extremely durable.

Just these four wheels alone cost Jian Shuangshuang a full one hundred gold coins. The price of the carriage itself plus the two fine horses together is only about two gold coins.

The journey to Yan City wasn’t very far, and the horses were trained. Jian Shuangshuang only needed to casually tug the reins on the horses’ heads to adjust direction and then didn’t have to worry about it; the two horses would walk by themselves.

Jian Shuangshuang set off in the morning, and by evening she arrived at Yan City. After that, Jian Shuangshuang found an inn, booked a small courtyard, and settled in.

When Du Xinning saw this inn, she said to Jian Shuangshuang with some excitement, "When I came to Yan City with my dad before to get medicine and treatment for my mom, I heard people talk about this inn. My dad couldn’t even bear to stay here."

This inn is very large and can accommodate both the poor and the rich. Poor people stay in the side yard, where the cheapest large shared room costs ten copper coins a day. That price is still more expensive than some small inns, where you can stay for only five copper coins.

However, the shared rooms in this inn are kept clean, there’s no strange odor in the rooms, the bedding is tidy, and they even provide hot water. So some people who come to Yan City for work and have decent income are quite willing to stay here.

After that are the rooms labeled Heaven, Earth, and Xuan. The Heaven rooms are the best, about one hundred copper coins a day; the Earth rooms are medium, eighty copper coins a day; and the Xuan rooms are standard, fifty copper coins a day.

And the separate little courtyard Jian Shuangshuang stayed in is the most expensive accommodation in the inn, costing one silver coin per day. Very few ordinary people are willing to splurge on it.

But the service in this courtyard is the best. The inn provides two attendants who are responsible for taking care of the horses and various chores, and the meals are also prepared by the inn: two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup, with as much white rice and steamed buns as you want.

After sleeping for a night, Jian Shuangshuang took Du Xinning and Du Xinyu for a stroll around the streets and then went to the cinema in Yan City, planning to check how well her movie was selling.

Jian Shuangshuang hadn’t planned on alarming Zang Lin. The Zang Family is not an ordinary family, and Zang Lin’s life path had actually been set in advance long ago.

Him opening a clinic in Yan City is just to hone his Mystic Doctor skills; it’s not that he really plans to keep a clinic here forever. In the future, Zang Lin will definitely have to return to the main family to continue his Cultivation.

But partway through, Zang Lin went off track and fell in love with acting. He’s also a direct descendant of the Zang Family, and to change his future life plan on his own—there’s no way the Zang Family would ignore that.

This time Zang Lin said he was coming to Yan City to get his Great Xuan Master Level certified and change his identity badge, but the real reason is actually this matter.

Jian Shuangshuang herself has been Family Head, Prime Minister, and even Emperor; there’s no way she wouldn’t understand things like this. Previously she had Zang Lin and Zhen Shu Cultivating together with her precisely so that acting wouldn’t hold up their Cultivation.

In this world where Martial Power is everything, Cultivation really is the most important thing. If they truly delayed their own Cultivation for the sake of acting, Jian Shuangshuang herself wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Since Zang Lin didn’t say much this time about what he was going to do when he left, Jian Shuangshuang could only pretend she didn’t know and not add to his troubles. So on this trip to Yan City, Jian Shuangshuang planned not to let Zang Lin find out about her being here at all.

Du Xinning and Du Xinyu didn’t know what was going on in Jian Shuangshuang’s mind. The two sisters had been cheerful the whole way. Although Du Xinning had been to Yan City once before, that time was because Feng Ying was sick and they came for treatment and medicine.

Back then she’d been filled with fear; how would she have had the mood to look at the scenery around her? But this time they were here to have fun, and they weren’t short on money, so Du Xinning and Du Xinyu immediately let themselves go and played to their hearts’ content.

By the time Jian Shuangshuang slowly led the sisters to the front of the cinema, the two girls were already holding all kinds of snacks in their hands, while Jian Shuangshuang’s hands were full of the toys the sisters had bought.

Even when they were still some distance from the cinema, the crowd around them had already started to thicken. By the time they could see the cinema itself, they could already see a lot of people standing in line.

This cinema of Zang Lin’s was also based on blueprints personally drawn by Jian Shuangshuang. First of all, the cinema was built quite tall, taller than all the surrounding buildings, and huge—so that from a distance it looked like some enormous behemoth.

And a building like this is eye-catching enough by itself. Once you see the two giant posters outside the cinema—both of which Jian Shuangshuang spent half a month drawing—it becomes even more attention-grabbing.

Jian Shuangshuang did a quick visual estimate. There were way too many people in line; the line literally stretched for about two li, no exaggeration, and there were several lines side by side. Jian Shuangshuang glanced at a young girl next to her.

The little girl was fanning herself in boredom while waiting in line. Jian Shuangshuang walked over and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "With you all lining up here, even if it gets to your turn, you won’t have time to watch, right? With such a long line, won’t you be lining up till midnight?"

The young girl was also bored from waiting in line, so she casually started chatting with Jian Shuangshuang. "I don’t want to line up either, but there’s no choice. This movie is just too good.

If I don’t line up now to buy a ticket, I’ll never find the time to see it. I figure if I keep queuing till midnight I should be able to get a ticket, and then I’ll probably have a seat to watch it tomorrow."
