Chapter 53 Bionic Skin and Making Money
Chapter 53 Bionic Skin and Making Money
The sea of thoughts of evil stars, the stars of blessings.
Because of Shang Yang's "embarrassment", a group of high-sequence powerhouses used fonts and even some facial expressions to laugh at the powerhouse who was obviously from the [Holy Nest] for a long time.
Of course, there are also those who laugh after careful analysis.
Looking at his master who was implicated by him, Shang Yang wanted to make some explanations, but he soon realized that his merit points were not enough to support him to say more.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the topic of discussion among the powerful men gradually shifted to Wen Feifeng.
Apparently, for some reason, this ordained Taoist was somewhat famous.
At the same time, Wen Feifeng also narrated his experience in the strange domain in a group called "Qiandu Group", and emphasized the names Shang Yang and Huo Xing.
However, the two of them did not attract attention. The group of high-sequence experts in the large group did not react at all. Only one or two words appeared:
"You evil bastard, not worth mentioning."
"Now that you have obtained the Spiritual Transformation Pill, return quickly to find your True Phoenix. I hope you won't regret it in the future."
"Fei Feng does not regret."
……
In the southern part of Wanfu City, there is a butcher shop.
Li Yu fell out of the mysterious vortex with a curse on his face, and fell into the cold and stiff arms of his maid.
Facing Hongdou who was approaching, the fox girl's face was full of inquiry and doubt.
Li Yu twisted his body and subconsciously thought of the warm and moist body of the Queen of Pistil in the Strange Realm, a dangerous but wonderful feeling.
After the comparison, I couldn't help but say:
"Hongdou's touch is too hard. Doesn't the Tiangong Sect have bionic technology?"
Hongdou was still wondering why her master disappeared inexplicably for a few breaths.
When I heard this question, I answered directly:
"Master, are you going to offer a reward for Hongdou's [Bionic Skin]?"
"Based on the revived memory modules, the church has conducted a lot of related research and development, with bionic skins of various feels and styles available..."
"stop!"
"No need... not yet."
Li Yu spoke decisively and stopped Hongdou.
joke.
Once a reward is offered, it will definitely be Shi Dazhu who comes. Considering how despicable this man is, he will most likely misunderstand Li Yu's character.
Oh, he bought a cute and lovely doll and so many sets of bionic skins. Tsk tsk, young people should pay more attention to their health.
After asking how long he had been missing, Li Yu directly sent Hongdou to chase the chickens.
Afterwards, the review of this expedition to the strange domain began:
"One day in the strange realm is only two breaths in reality. It is just as Shang Yang and Wen Feifeng said, the speed of time is different."
"This is my first expedition to the Weird Territory. Because those two beasts were cheating, there is not much reference value. The next time should be easier."
"The rules of extraordinary spiritual aggregation are excellent!"
"The owner of the remains of the Penglai female fairy must have a deep connection with the Spiritual Venerable Path. Who knows, we may meet again in the future."
"When I was kicked out, Yaoxing notified me to start matching for the next mission... But according to those two, there's no need to panic. It's normal for the matching time to last up to ten days or half a month."
"Finally, this is the harvest!"
"In addition to getting a bunch of related rules for free, there are also four kinds of pill recipes, two-thirds of [Pistil Honeydew], and..."
Li Yu looked at his eye mask again.
The fifth bubble of truth no longer flickered, and a question mark was solidified in the iridescence.
This is a high-sequence secret medicine formula!
This was the biggest gain of his trip.
Although it may take some time to analyze, its value may exceed tens of thousands of merit points.
"But the loss is not small."
"Compassion Pill, Divine Foot Pill, Explosive Flame Pill... all the preparations have been made in advance, and there are still the small gourd hundred flavor meatballs and the last Divine Foot Pill left."
"It took 20,000 taels of silver to complete the preparations. Although the gains far outweigh the costs, it still hurts. Tomorrow morning I have to go to the [Tianjifang Tax and Silver Department] to pay taxes and resettlement fees, which will cost me several hundred taels of silver. Ha, it is consistent with the balance on my joint gold card."
"I, Li Yu, am now penniless again."
"Make money!"
"I still have to find a way to get a lot of money. My Dantu sequence is clearly a way to earn money. It won't work without money."
"Also, Wanfu City is not a place where we can stay for a long time. If we want to leave here safely, the ransom fee plus the cost of passing through safe routes will be as high as tens of thousands of taels. If we don't pay, we will have to leave the city. Breaking into the three forbidden places, the Wangui Tundra, the Horror Valley, and the Ancient Black Forest, is no different from seeking death."
"As for whether we can really leave after paying that money...?"
Li Yu had never expected that he had become a practitioner in another world who could strive for the "Immortal Species".
In the end, all I think about is making money.
can only say!
Choosing the wrong birthplace is so tragic.
……
The next morning, Li Yu kicked the cursed bronze chicken away again, and then took Hongdou out of the courtyard and headed for the Tax and Silver Department of Tianjifang.
Even though he killed a group of immortal medicine corpses in the strange domain, ruthlessly rejected the queen of a country in the Warring States Period, and almost ruined the plans of two great geniuses, Wen Feifeng and Shang Yang.
In reality, you still have to pay taxes and settle down.
Of course, Li Yu was in a good mood because of his good harvest, his own clear and bright path, and the company of a pretty maid.
Until a few hours later!
When Li Yu, who had lost all his wealth, returned with Hongdou, his face was gloomy under the mask he wore to cover his face.
The desire to leave Wanfu City in my heart became even more determined.
"Wanfu City is a place without any blessings."
"It is very suitable for people like Shang Yang who believe in the survival of the fittest, but it is not suitable for me. I must leave."
The reason why Li Yu had this thought.
This was what he saw and heard after he went to the Tax and Silver Bureau in the morning to pay the resettlement fee, spent the last bit of money, and took Hongdou on a newly opened monster bus route.
It’s not long, just the entire Tianjifang.
This was also the first time that Li Yu wandered around without a purpose and observed the environment he was in. He saw some special atmosphere of fireworks.
For example, the people from all over the world brought different foods, different living customs, language habits, unique appearances, etc.
The common people also have the same worries as normal people, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, children's education, weddings and funerals, etc.
But these are not the point.
What really made Li Yu want to leave was the almost unconcealed, extremely cruel and brutal exploitation in the market.
"The overlord of Tianjifang is the Three Saints Gang."
"The three saints, Tiger Power, Sheep Power, and Deer Power, all seem to be at the level of Sequence 6. The path is unknown, and the sequence name is also unknown. We only know that it seems to be an incomplete path, and the road ahead has been cut off."
"Sansheng said that he had worked hard for many years to take over Tianjifang, and now he has the legal right to exploit it." "His subordinates have arranged various industries, and deliberately let the residents spend lavishly, fall into traps, and owe huge debts, until they have no other options and are forced to mortgage their bodies, souls, emotions, etc. for consumption."
"They really eat it all up, not a drop is left."
"The Three Saints do this for enjoyment as well as to study and explore the next sequence."
"Since the overlord of Tianjifang is like this, can the other seven major squares and three major districts be exempted?"
Thinking of this, Li Yu shook his head.
In my mind, the scene I saw this morning emerged involuntarily:
A group of "Three Saints Gang members" dressed in gorgeous Taoist robes but with deformed bodies and wearing beast masks, took black ropes and tied up new and old residents who looked like crazy from the streets and alleys, and led them to a newly built machinery factory that was emitting billowing scarlet smoke, just like leading pigs and dogs.
The factory has no name yet, it is only said that the Three Saints spent a lot of money and asked the southern overlord, Holy Nest, to help build it.
The purpose is to refine batch after batch of elixirs for the Three Saints.
"Those three beasts!"
"I'm afraid it's because they can't find any clues to the next sequence, and because they can't resist the vicious backlash from the current sequence, so they decided to use drugs to forcibly break through the sequence to prolong their lives?"
"Doing this is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Three Saints must have mortgaged their own assets to allow Holy Nest to help build the mechanical factory."
"Perhaps it won't be long before the position of Tianjifang's overlord will be contested again?"
"...You're thinking too far ahead. These have nothing to do with me for now. I need to make money quickly, refine a bunch of elixirs to protect myself, and then find a chance to leave Wanfu City completely. That's the right thing to do."
When the last thought comes.
Li Yu's eyes also began to shuttle back and forth between the kitchen and the alchemy room.
He had already figured out a way to quickly get his first big sum of money.
That’s right, it’s medicinal food.
As a formal Sequence 8 practitioner [Dan Tu], Li Yu does have some ways to make a lot of money, such as refining pills.
But no matter whether it was the basic pill formula, his own pill formula, or the four kinds of pill formulas he exchanged for 400 merit points, in order to refine them and sell them, he first needed some start-up capital.
He couldn't even afford a single copper coin now, and he was unwilling to reveal his identity as an alchemist.
Think about it!
Medicinal food is even more perfect.
It just so happened that he had spent all the 20,000 taels before, and had a lot of leftover food and medicinal materials left.
They all seem to be worthless stuff. If I pack them up and sell them, no one will want them even for a hundred taels.
But in the eyes of Li Yu, who mastered the "art of medicinal diet", it was very different.
After all, he had already tasted his own cooking. Previously in that strange land, if he hadn't had a gourd of [Hundred Flavor Meatballs], he would have almost been sucked dry by the countless mouths all over the body of the Pistil Flower Demon.
The effect was so good that Li Yu had no worries about not being able to sell it.
He has even considered the sales location and customer group.
"red beans!"
"Light up the stove!"
"Good host."
……
At midnight, in the eight major districts of the southern area, except for a few districts specializing in the flesh trade, the rest of the districts gradually became quiet.
But there is an area within Taipingfang that is extremely lively, and one can even see steam airships and shipwrecks hovering above.
At the entrance is a neon-lit mechanical archway with the four large characters "Taiping Market" clearly written on it.
As the premier extraordinary market in Wanfu City!
Except for some service staff and "goods" here, everyone else, whether stall owners, shop owners or customers, are practitioners with extraordinary powers.
Naturally, every inch of land in such an area is worth a lot of money.
If you are a leisurely visitor, you can go to most places and will not be driven away.
If you are a stall owner, after paying the entrance fee, you will also have to look at your sequence level, and then your financial resources... If everything is average, such as just an ordinary sequence eight, and you are unwilling to reveal how you got there, then you will be sent to some remote corner to set up a stall.
at this time!
It’s a street at the end of Daji, the worst location at the end of the street.
Several stall owners, all looking miserable, were shouting and complaining to each other.
Soon they saw the manager of Taiping Market, leading a pair of master and servants over with a look of disdain on their faces. They were too lazy to step in and just pointed to an empty space and said:
"Hey boy, that's your stall."
"This is the first time I fell for your trick and asked you to use your extraordinary meatballs to pay for the entrance fee. Next time you play any tricks, I will put you on the blacklist."
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I will make up the cost after I sell all these medicinal foods."
"Oh! These things of yours do have magical effects, and you can call them medicinal foods, but whose medicinal foods all smell like chicken shit or dog shit?"
"Whether you can sell it or not is another matter. If you are chased and beaten tonight, I will not help you."
The guide, wearing a dirty Taoist robe, covered his nose and expressed his disdain for Li Yu's food with a clear conscience.
After spitting, he turned and walked away.
Li Yu didn't mind. He walked forward with Hongdou and greeted several stall owners who looked wary.
Unhurriedly, he and Hongdou set up a simple stall with tables and chairs.
There seemed to be only one thing for sale at the stall, which was hidden inside a giant soup pot.
Based on the previous conversations, several stall owners guessed what the master and servant were selling.
Medicinal food!
I thought there would be a wide variety of food, but instead there was only one pot.
Several people looked at each other from a distance, and a look of ridicule appeared on each of them.
"Where did this fool come from? He came to Taiping Market to sell medicinal food, but he didn't even know how to spend a lot of money to buy a good stall. He came to a corner like this, and it would be a miracle if there were any customers to buy."
"Didn't you hear what the guide said? The medicinal food he sells is effective, but it tastes terrible. It's not worthwhile to rent a good stall."
"Humph, you are so pretentious and even wear a mask. If you don't know better, you might think you are one of those nuns from the Fallen Buddhism or the courtesan from the Lust Sect."
"Tsk tsk, look at the mechanical maid next to him, it's actually a Linglong doll."
"It's a scrapped one. You can buy one for a few hundred taels. If you're interested, you can also buy a lot of sexy clothes and bionic skin to dress her up... Although the feeling is not as exciting as going to the ecstasy club, it's cheaper."
……
Although Li Yu could not hear these conversations in his thoughts, he was aware of them.
He didn't care. After placing the soup pot, he slowly reached out to open it, and at the moment of opening it, he quietly dripped a drop of mysterious liquid into the pot.
A moment!
Suddenly, a terrifying rainbow burst out from the originally pitch-black soup pot. The aroma that could be clearly seen by the naked eye diffused with a hissing sound, soon filling the entire end street and began to spread to other areas of Taiping Market.
