Chapter 37 A shortcut to charging the truth bubble?
Chapter 37 A shortcut to charging the truth bubble?
“For those seven or eight people, the sudden cannibalism of the ferocious three-headed creature was an unexpected disaster.”
"It is rare to see this elsewhere, but in Wanfu City, this kind of unprovoked disaster is not uncommon. Comfort and ease are out of reach."
"At least, that's the case before your strength reaches the level of freedom and ease."
When Li Yu had the idea, he felt more and more eager to improve his own strength.
There is no doubt that Sequence Eight will not be enough.
Sequence Seven should be able to roam freely in a place like Tianjifang.
Going further up would require Sequence Six.
Just as Li Yu was trying to estimate to what level he had to climb to live the life he wanted, the joyful "missionary bustle" that had been taking place everywhere in Wanfu City finally reached the old street of Tianjifang.
Missionaries sent by various strange and bizarre evil cults entered the old street and began knocking on doors one by one.
"Neighbor, are you at home? Are you interested in joining our [Snake Cult]? As long as you are willing to join the cult, this snake fang that contains a deadly poison and can bring blessings will be given to you."
"You are obviously a smart man, so join our [Red Child Sect]. Come naked and leave naked, that is the true wisdom. When you join the sect, you will receive a ticket to the Unobstructed Conference."
"Hey, you are also from Li Country, my fellow countryman. Come here, I won't tell anyone else, join my [Cult of the God of Poverty], the benefits are beyond your imagination. Others who join the cult will at most be given a mourning poor face mask, but you, my fellow countryman, come here, I will give you two, wear them day and night, and you will be able to get good luck wherever you go."
"Brother and sister-in-law, do you want to become rich overnight? Do you want good fortune? Join the [Disaster Gate]. As long as you worship the God of Disaster, all bad luck will be gone and good fortune will grow. This lucky copper coin is given to you first."
"Fellow Daoist, if you also dislike the pure human race and like hybridization, you can become our fellow Daoist and listen to the great Lord's voice of blessing. I will give you this puppet for your enjoyment..."
"dong dong"
"Neighbor, are you home?"
"Hey, heretic, don't come over here. I came to this one first."
"On missionary day, there is no first come first served. Whoever has the best methods will have the followers."
"We are all errand boys, so stop arguing and finish your work quickly to the next street."
The newly repaired gate of Li Yu's house was also knocked at this time.
And soon, they started to fight.
With anticipation for the free gifts and presents, Li Yu walked forward and opened the door.
Sure enough, there were already five or six people crowding in front of his door.
When he appeared, a series of burning eyes immediately fell on him, and then they looked at Hongdou behind Li Yu more obscurely.
Before he could ask, five gifts that he had already heard the names and descriptions of were handed to him.
A snake's fang, a colorful copper scroll, a mask with a sad face, a very lifelike strange centaur doll, a rusty copper coin... Although they are not rare objects, they are quite different from ordinary things and are special things with some value.
At the same time, there were also invitations that were obviously much more enthusiastic, and even exaggerated.
"Fellow Daoist, you are still young, and you are obviously a cultivator. Ordinary snake fangs are not worthy of you. This one has been blessed by the snake goddess of my sect, and it is more effective. As long as you are willing to join the sect, I will give it to you for free."
"Young Master, you are so handsome. Those uncensored things that ordinary people participate in will only tarnish you. This ticket is more high-end. All participants will be cultivators of Sequence Eight or higher. Young Master, just agree and you can go."
"How can a young genius like you be defiled by the vulgar human race? Take this centaur girl away. After you acknowledge her master with a drop of blood, you will experience infinite mysteries."
……
Li Yu didn't know when his expression had turned cold.
After hearing this, he did not accept any of the gifts, but asked, "How do you convert to Christianity?"
This question obviously made them all excited, and they all rushed to answer.
"Wear it on your body and chant 'Long Live the Snake God' to be accepted into the religion."
"Writing your real name on the admission ticket and silently chanting the mantra 'Innocent Child' is also a way to join the religion."
"Wear the mask of poverty for three breaths and pray to the great god of poverty. This is the fastest way to join the religion."
"Hahaha, this is all too cumbersome. Fellow Daoist, in my sect, as long as you take this good thing and use it after dripping blood, then you'll be fine."
"My lucky copper coin only needs a drop of blood to recognize its owner."
After hearing five answers in a row, Li Yu couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Immediately, he refused:
"Everyone please go somewhere else."
"I have believed in the Lord and cannot accept your gifts."
After saying that, he was about to close the door.
Seeing this, the five people still wanted to fight back and started saying things like "Even if you already have a way, I also have a way."
But at that moment, after Li Yu turned around and shouted "Hongdou", the five fanatical missionaries became afraid of death and dispersed with helplessness on their faces.
This scene was also within Li Yu's expectations.
From the expressions of the five people at the beginning, it can be judged that they have some understanding of Li Yu and his servant.
That's why they added extra gifts right from the start, trying to lure Li Yu into the trap.
It must have been during the night of the Battle Royale, when the master and servant killed too many people so ruthlessly that they gained some fame in a small area, and that’s why they were targeted.
Of course, this is most likely the case and there won’t be any subsequent conflicts.
If we look at the entire Tianjifang, there aren’t a lot of Sequence Eight practitioners, but there are quite a few too.
If they cannot seduce and all become enemies, those sects will not be able to continue to preach.
"It's true that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. In my previous life, I was forced to pay attention to something when I took a fan from those salesmen, not to mention these goodies that can obviously make money."
"Those brief initiation ceremonies that seem harmless can actually cause endless trouble."
"If I really believed it, I would be trapped to death."
"However, for those poor people who have no channels, are penniless, and have only a miserable life left, choosing one of these various evil god sects is the fastest way to embark on the path of a cultivator."
"But the ending will most likely be tragic."
"The so-called 'missionary service' is probably to find low-level cannon fodder."
With this in mind, Li Yu no longer had any interest in the missionary day.
At any other time, he would be willing to spend some time to see if he could avoid those traps, get the free gifts, and then sell them all afterwards to make some money.
But since the cost-effectiveness is no longer high, I will just ignore it.
"red beans!"
"Add a few words to that sick chicken, and tell it to come and guard the door for me. It should refuse anyone who asks."
"Good host!"
……
Li Yu closed the door and declined the visitor, then returned to the main house. As soon as he took a step, he was already thinking seriously about the most important matter that was to be dealt with next, which was also related to his life and property, as well as his future path.
Demon Star Order!
There had been too many incidents before, including miracles and wonders, as well as the fierce power of the Three Saints.
He was so busy that he didn't dare to reveal any traces, so he didn't have time to carefully study the cold rules that the Demon Star Order left in his mind.
Now is the time.
"In two days, I will be summoned for the first time and will be teleported to an ancient mysterious place."
"You cannot refuse, or you will be obliterated." Two rules that are not only brief.
In addition to the strong sense of crisis in Li Yu's heart, a lot of questions immediately emerged in his mind:
"Wait? If all the people who received the Demon Star Order tonight are recruited in two days, doesn't that mean that many people will disappear at the same time? Isn't this a disguised exposure?"
"If they are not recruited at the same time, it means that the strange realms and spirit worlds that everyone is summoned to will be different."
"When I'm called up, can I bring my belongings with me? Or will I be taken away naked? Or will my soul be transported?"
“If you can bring things, are there any restrictions?”
"Can you bring Anko with you?"
Li Yu thought of everything that should be thought of.
Unfortunately, the Demon Star Order is not his bubble of truth, and it will not give him answers one by one just because his pursuit of knowledge is so comprehensive.
His questions fell on deaf ears and received no response.
Li Yu suddenly remembered the demon star token called "Star of Disaster" that he had received when the rules were conveyed before, and it was like an illusion of mockery.
This feeling comes back again.
"The answers to my questions should also be secrets, but they will not be passed on to low-level cultivators like me."
"Once I've experienced it once and haven't died in it, I'll be able to roughly guess it myself."
"But the commanders of those [Rebel Stars] and [Plague Stars] are all above Sequence 7, and they are young geniuses with great backgrounds. I think everyone knows them."
"Unfortunately, even though I know their identities, I don't dare to go to their homes and ask them."
Muttering to this, Li Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He used up the fourth bubble of truth!
Apart from intercepting a Disaster Star Order, the remaining gain was a glimpse of the true identities of several Demon Star Order masters.
It should be noted that even the strong ones of Sequence 3 and 2 cannot do this.
This information is extremely valuable.
However, he couldn't and dared not sell it.
"In two days, I'm afraid I'll have to risk my life again."
"The Demon Star Order Master is both an opportunity and a disaster. No matter which rumor it is, it says that the mortality rate is extremely high, especially for a low-level cultivator like me who knows nothing."
"For now, let's use up all our wealth and make all-out preparations."
As these thoughts flashed by.
Plans and plans immediately began to form in Li Yu's mind.
The most important thing is to have at least one chance to analyze everything.
This is his greatest reliance, and at critical moments, it can be almost like cheating.
When this thought came to his mind, Li Yu glanced at the eye membrane.
The fifth bubble of truth!
Charging progress: one third.
"Only one or two days. No, if you deduct the time I have for preparation, I'm afraid I only have a few hours left. Where can I find enough extraordinary secrets to fill the remaining bubbles in such a short time?"
"The most convenient Wanfu Daily News, the next issue won't be published until three days later... huh?"
Suddenly, Li Yu seemed to have thought of something and his eyes lit up.
Although he was not a journalism major in his previous life, he had a friend who was, so he knew some knowledge that could not be considered industry secrets.
For example, before each issue of a newspaper is published, a large number of topics and materials are needed, but in the end not all of them are used, and a lot will be left over.
These scraps from the previous life were of little value.
But in this world, especially for Li Yu, the value of these scraps is extraordinary.
With this thought in mind, Li Yu subconsciously flipped through the first issue of Wanfu Daily and looked for the contact information on it to see if he could make this deal.
But after searching several times, he found nothing, and couldn't help but frown and mutter:
"This newspaper can be named 'Wanfu' and distributed throughout the city. I'm afraid it must be of a very high level. It can at least contact the Overlords of the Four Districts and a large number of High-Sequence Experts."
"Let's not even talk about whether someone like me would be answered if I went to look for someone from a lowly position. It would be a risk if I went."
"If we were to encounter a high-sequence expert, my identity as the Demon Star Commander would likely be exposed."
"Hmm? Since the Wanfu Daily is also organized and published by the [Tiangong Sect], salesmen such as Meng Shenji and Shi Dazhu may have channels to help me buy those scraps of news that are of no use..."
"For others and even Wanfu Daily, those outdated news that were not selected are worthless and probably won't be very expensive."
"I am playing a cultivator who loves gossip and has a lot of money but nowhere to spend it. I can completely rationalize this matter, and even continue to do so in the future, steadily and continuously charging the truth bubble?"
The more Li Yu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.
Without any delay, he called Hongdou and offered a reward again.
But this time, it was a little different from before. I waited for a long time but no one answered the call.
Just when Li Yu was somewhat puzzled, Hongdou's mechanical voice suddenly rang out:
"The reward has been claimed!"
"Tiangong salesman Shi Dazhu has started preparing the items for trading. It will take an hour."
"Because this action is suspected of illegal trading of internal information, we need to share the profits with several Wanfu Daily editors. The selling price will not be low. Please prepare at least 1,000 taels of silver."
"Do you want to withdraw the reward?"
"Promise him!"
Li Yu said with a look of understanding.
He had taken things for granted before. After all, it was a newspaper from the extraordinary world, so even the scraps that were not selected still had considerable value.
If you guessed it right!
He is not the only one who has this in mind, although their purposes are different.
He was trying to charge the bubble of truth, while others might be trying to find some advanced business opportunities or secrets from it. If any one of them could be used, the value would be great.
Wanfu Daily has also formed a crude industrial chain in this regard.
So other salesmen did not accept the reward, but Shi Dazhu did. He is probably the one among all the salesmen of Tiangong Sect who likes to make money through shady means the most and has the widest channels.
One thousand taels!
It is much more expensive than expected, but it should be the market price.
If you can successfully fill the fifth bubble of truth, it will be worth it.
As for money?
Li Yu was indeed very poor now, but he had things he could sell, and they were worth quite a bit.
"That [Blood Bone Whistle] is a rare item from the Blood God Sect. It's worth at least several thousand taels."
"There is also the Forbidden God statue, the sacrificial book, the human skin scroll, the recipe for the vegetable man secret medicine... It's a complete set of inheritance. If you are willing to sell it, it will definitely be worth over ten thousand taels. The only thing to be careful about is that you must find a middleman, otherwise the buyer may be a madman like Yi Ya from the Forbidden God sect."
"It's a pity for the Wandering Soul Secret Medicine and my own Dantu Secret Medicine, because I got them by stealing them. There is no reliable rare object to carry the formula. Even if I write it down, no one will believe it or buy it."
"This rule prevents me from frantically peeking at the formula and then selling it for money in the future."
Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes flashed with helplessness. The shortcut to getting rich was cut off before it even began.
