Chapter 31 Battle Royale
Chapter 31 Battle Royale
"This thing can be considered as the otherworldly version of the Michelin and Black Pearl rankings."
"But except for me, everyone else tastes heavy."
"Only perverted and resentful people who have eaten too much will patronize this place."
Li Yu muttered, glancing at the top of the list.
Even if we exclude the big restaurant opened by the old demon Zhu Can, the second-ranked so-called "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Restaurant" looks at the spiritual dishes on display.
I guess if the real Buddha saw this, he would not be able to help but jump over the wall to chop them down.
After complaining, Li Yu turned to the last page.
The content is both unexpected and not surprising.
ad!
An entire page was filled with densely packed advertisements, almost all of which came from various businesses in Wanfu City, such as the beauty shops under the Rouge Club, or various enchanting clubs.
If it were in his previous life, Li Yu would only look at these when he was squatting in the toilet.
But here, things are quite different. You have to know that these advertisements also belong to "supernormal knowledge".
Sure enough, when Li Yu finished reading all the advertisements word for word, the charging progress of the fifth bubble of truth jumped forward again.
"Good stuff!"
"From now on, my place of residence will be inseparable from the Wanfu Daily. Although there is no secret medicine formula for me to peek at, its charging efficiency and cost-effectiveness far exceed the mysterious gathering I have worked so hard to plan."
"There are no bookstores or similar stores in Wanfu City, otherwise I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Li Yu put the newspaper down and began to think about his future.
Now he has a chance to clean himself up. As long as he is not stupid enough to expose the fact that he killed "Yi Ya the Vegetable Cutter", he won't have to worry about being hunted down by the Forbidden God Sect in the short term.
Then, there are only two things Li Yu needs to do next.
Practice!
Support the family!
What gave him a headache was that both of these things required a lot of money.
The former, that is, his alchemy practice, has to do alchemy on a daily basis.
However, the rare spiritual materials and terrible prices required for the several basic pill recipes attached to the Dantu sequence secret medicines had already made Li Yu very painful.
What made him speechless was that there was a note on it:
"In addition to the basic pill formula, any alchemist can create his own unique pill formula by using the two techniques of pill fire and taking medicine."
"Just remember, ordinary things cannot be made into elixirs. Only extraordinary and miraculous things can be refined into great miraculous elixirs."
In Li Yu's opinion, the implied meaning of this note is very obvious.
It costs money, and a lot of money.
"So I chose a very expensive training path, and a maid who also required a lot of money to maintain."
Thinking of this, Li Yu looked at his own mechanical maid beside him.
Ever since he repaired part of Hongdou's secret core, the girl doll not only has the ability to fight, but also has regained some intelligence.
Occasionally, some weird behavior occurs.
For example, at this moment, she could clearly capture the plagued bronze chicken by force, but she tried to drive it out in a human way.
If it was the maid who had no intelligence and could only understand simple commands, Li Yu would of course only provide her with the lowest level of psychic stone.
But now, it's very different.
Li Yu immediately thought of "It's time to buy a few more sets of clothes for Hongdou", "The psychic stone can't be too low-end, otherwise she won't be able to bring out her exquisite chainsaw swordsmanship", "We can also try to repair her later, it's worth spending more money", etc., which made him want to spend a lot of money as soon as he heard it.
"It seems that we can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. We need to find a way to make a lot of money quickly."
"Since the spiritual food business is so popular, wouldn't it be even more popular if I just go the [medicinal food] route?"
“Although there are many opponents, if I use the methods I learned in my previous life, such as hunger marketing and viral marketing, I should be able to stand out…”
Thinking of this, Li Yu glanced at the Wanfu Daily again.
Just when he was about to come up with many ideas and plans in his mind, suddenly, outside the courtyard gate.
No, it should be said that chaotic noises were heard from all over Wanfu City.
An uncomfortable noise came from all directions.
"Refugees from the three countries have begun to enter the city?"
Li Yu had some guesses in his mind, then he stood up and went out of the yard.
On the way, a series of malicious voices penetrated into Li Yu's ears through the air.
"Hey, everyone, come here, there are so many empty houses on this street."
"There are many poor people, and it seems that there are not many practitioners, suitable for us to settle down."
"Looking at the traces, this is still an old street with a long history. Not bad, not bad. I like this sense of vicissitudes and the atmosphere of fireworks."
"Don't scare people. They might be your neighbors in the future."
"Of course, it could also be something in my stomach. It depends on what the neighbors can do."
"I want the yard with the butcher's shop."
……
Hearing the last sentence that was obviously directed at him, Li Yu slowly opened the gate.
Then he saw an extremely uncomfortable scene.
Starting from the old street in front of us, many people appeared in various streets and alleys, too many to be seen with the naked eye, and they went straight to the main street of Tianjifang.
Almost every one of them was pale, thin and ragged.
They were either standing or squatting, looking at everything in the city with their green and yellow eyes. There was greed, hatred, and restlessness in their eyes, but there was no friendliness. The atmosphere was extremely strange.
Although Li Yu did not open the Analytical Everything, he was a proper Sequence Eight practitioner after all, and he still had a vague sense of "the same kind".
That's why his expression was quite solemn.
According to his perception, among the large number of refugees before him, there were actually a considerable number of people who possessed extraordinary powers.
Some of them even lost their human form and walked in strange and weird shapes.
Previously, ten neighbors on the old street had been killed by Yi Ya, so there were many empty houses. The rest of the survivors now closed their doors and were trembling in fear.
Li Yu's appearance at this moment was quite eye-catching, and he was immediately surrounded by disgusting looks.
However, when he swept around and deliberately displayed the aura of a cultivator, most eyes chose to avoid him.
Li Yu was panicked and went a lot.
He has confirmed one thing at this time:
"The so-called 'Three Kingdoms refugees' are probably just like Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang, evildoers and evil cultivators who were expelled from the Three Kingdoms for some reason or simply because they committed a crime."
"Almost all of them are very ferocious, but most of them are not cultivators. Some of them are not of the mainstream, and a very small number of them are Sequence Eight."
"I don't need to worry about anything else. I just need to keep my own courtyard. After the big registration of the blessed family, I can completely clear myself."
Just when Li Yu made up his mind to return to the courtyard.
Without any warning, the bell towers and drum towers in the city began to ring.
Then, steam airships and patrol ships began to move overhead, broadcasting the same warning notice with loud microphones:
"The refugees from the three countries are expected to enter the city in one hour."
"Once midnight has passed, there will be no taboos in the city, and everything can be done."
"All citizens please be prepared to protect your loved ones and property."
“All refugees should be prepared to work hard to obtain citizenship.”
……
Amid these inhumane warnings, the entire Wanfu City fell into panic and agitation.
Li Yu didn't look at the horrifying looks on the faces of the terrifying refugees outside, and simply closed the gate.
Immediately, his expression turned gloomy, revealing some murderous intent.
"Okay, okay, the birthplace I chose is quite exciting."
"Once midnight has passed, the whole city will be in chaos."
"red beans!"
"Immediately launch a bounty, requiring a mid-range psychic stone and a killing weapon that you can use, and ten pieces of fire essence and fire minerals below... All delivered to your door, and if you don't have enough money, you can use some rare items to offset it."
After Li Yu finished speaking, his face was full of pain.
Although he is a practitioner, he naturally has to be cautious when facing a cruel game like "Battle Royale".
Besides, Dan Tu was not good at fighting, and he could not guarantee what would happen after midnight, such as if some inferior practitioners or other Sequence Eights mixed in with the refugees who surrounded him.
Once an accident happens, it is very likely that you will die.
He had struggled to survive until now and had already seen a glimmer of hope. How could he be willing to fail at the last moment?
The purpose of this reward is to fully arm both the master and the servant.
It is foreseeable that at least half of his newly acquired windfall and savings will be wiped out.
This premonition soon became reality.
Along with the familiar sound of steam, a voice heard before came from outside the door:
"I, Shi Dazhu!"
"All the goods you requested have been delivered. Please come out to inspect them."
"I'll charge you 1,000 taels of silver for the mid-range psychic stone, 2,000 taels of silver for the electric blade gun and shield, and 3,000 taels of silver for ten portions of fire essence and mineral materials... Since you're a big customer, I'll give you an 80% discount. If you don't have much money, I'll also accept discounts for rare items. I'll estimate the most suitable price for you."
"But you'd better hurry up. I'm afraid these crazy people will come and grab it, which will delay a lot of time."
"make a deal!"
……
After seeing the salesman off, Li Yu's expression became even more painful.
The several thousand taels of silver he had saved from cooking spiritual food the night before were all spent as expected.
The only consolation was that the several rare items Yi Ya obtained from the corpse later were not all lost. After exchanging the jade bone for the item, the money and goods were settled.
Li Yu directly left the mid-range psychic stone and a set of killing weapons to Hongdou.
He himself took a pile of fire essence and minerals and went to the storage room that had been converted into an alchemy room.
That's right!
He wants to make an elixir.
The Dantu sequence is indeed not good at fighting, but that doesn’t mean it has no other means.
Among the several basic pill recipes that came with it, there happened to be one that could be used to deal with the current predicament.
As Li Yu walked, he recalled:
"With fire essence as the core and a dozen fire-attributed minerals as the supplement, we can refine an elixir called [Explosive Flame Pill]."
"This elixir contains the nature of fire spirits. If a practitioner consumes it using the 'taking' technique, he or she will temporarily possess a fire spirit body, and can walk freely in volcanoes and magma."
"Or, you can throw it out. It will explode with the slightest collision. Once the fire essence and evil qi inside touch human flesh and blood, it will burn it to charcoal in the blink of an eye."
"But be careful!"
"It is very easy to cause the furnace to explode when refining the Explosive Flame Pill, so be careful."
