Chapter 312: Saving people is important
That’s right, it’s unparalleled chivalry!
Xiao Jie was very familiar with the color scheme of that set of equipment. When he and Xia Yi Wushuang were fighting against the Tian Xia Association, he had secretly checked the attributes of the equipment.
How did this thing turn into a paper figure on the stage?
Xiao Jie was extremely shocked, wondering what the principle of this thing was, a magic trick? A sorcery?
At this moment, the chivalrous paper figure seemed to be starting to panic.
"I don't want to drink anymore, I really don't want to drink anymore. Sister, you better show me a way out." The voice was also dubbed by the backstage, and it was obviously not the voice of Xia Yi Wushuang, but Xiao Jie had a feeling that Xia Yi Wushuang might be saying exactly the same words at this time.
The paper fairies started to complain.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? This paradise-like place is so remote that you can never come back if you leave. It's better for you to stay here with us and enjoy the happiness of family life."
"That's right, that's right. We sisters are lonely here and need someone to accompany us. This handsome boy is the perfect match for us."
"Fuck, are you women sick? I'm talking to you in a nice way, but you don't listen. If you don't let me out, I'm going to be rude!"
As he spoke, he raised his sword, and the features painted in ink on his face showed an angry expression.
Those paper fairies immediately assumed various postures, and colorful gold powder fell from the sky, as if simulating magic effects.
After the gold powder was sprinkled, the fairies all changed into clothes made of gold paper, and held swords tightly in their hands, surrounding me, who was about to become an immortal.
Then there was a wonderful fight that was like children playing house. Colored paper flew everywhere, and the seven fairies fought with Xia Yi Wushuang with paper weapons. From time to time, some red confetti was scattered to make it look like blood was spurting out.
Xiao Jie was secretly anxious when he saw this. Damn, is a fight really going to break out?
The phone suddenly rang.
Xia Yi Wushuang: Brother, when will you come... I... Damn, these women are so fierce!
The chivalrous hero on the stage was seen dodging and running around being chased by seven fairies, and suddenly loud laughter came from the stands below.
It was indeed a real fight! Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was not good. If Xia Yi Wushuang was hacked to death on the stage, would he really die?
"Ye Luo, this time it's up to you, is there any way to save Xia Yi Wushuang?"
They are strangers here and are intruders. If a fight really starts, it will surely be a bloody battle. Currently, these ghosts are neutral units, but once a fight breaks out, they will most likely become hostile. If it were just him alone, he could still give it a try, but Bai Ze, Wo Yuchengxian and others came with him, and if a fight really breaks out, he will harm his teammates.
Even for the sake of his unparalleled chivalry, Xiao Jie cannot act recklessly.
At this moment, we can only hope that Ye Luo can find a solution. Only Ye Luo, the impermanent walker, may be able to save people.
Ye Luo's tone was also a little uncertain, "I'll try my best, but don't take my identity as an impermanent walker too seriously... I don't have much power here."
"It's okay, you can do this..." Xiao Jie whispered.
Ye Luo was a little surprised when he heard this, "Is this possible?"
"I don't know either. You are a practitioner of impermanence. Do you think it is possible? I am just providing an idea."
Ye Luo thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there is a chance. I'll give it a try. I'll try to be low-key and make it quick and decisive."
Having said that, Ye Luo’s subsequent performance was not at all low-key.
She suddenly jumped onto the stage and said, "Stop!" and slashed at the paper fairies with a sword. A scream was heard from backstage, and several silk threads were pulled together, pulling the paper fairies out of the stage.
Xiao Jie originally wanted to go up and rescue Xia Yi Wushuang, but unexpectedly, Xia Yi Wushuang's paper figurine was also dragged to the backstage along with the fairies.
Fortunately, at this moment, a voice of relief from a chivalrous man came over the phone.
"Huh, it's finally not loud anymore. Damn, why did the screen suddenly go black?"
Xiao Jie also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the danger of chivalrous heroism would only happen on the stage.
"Brother Xia, please bear with it for a moment. I will try to save you. Don't act recklessly."
At this time, Ye Luo was already making a big fuss on the stage.
"Where's your boss? Come out. I suspect you are engaging in illegal activities."
The ghosts watching the show below suddenly started screaming.
"What are you doing? I'm just enjoying it."
"Go down quickly and don't ruin our good deeds."
"Where did this girl come from? She is so fierce and aggressive. Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future."
Ye Luo ignored him and raised his sword high, "If no one comes, I will ruin the show."
At this time, an old man with a pockmarked face finally emerged from behind.
"Little girl, are you looking for a fight? How dare you come here and act wildly."
Ye Luo showed his badge without saying anything.
"The Impermanence Walker is in charge, and you are the boss?"
The old man said angrily, "Humph, so what if you are the Impermanence Walker? This is neither the mortal world nor the underworld. You have no right to govern."
"Haha, it seems that you, old ghost, are not well-informed. Did you know that my army of the underworld has already invaded Ghost Mist Ridge and captured the Soul-Suppressing Pass an hour ago? Soon we will annihilate Fengyin Province and unify the nine provinces."
"What...what! That Dao said that the tide was caused by you guys."
"Hehe, it's good to know. Do you still dare to say that I have no jurisdiction? From now on, this ghost market must obey the orders of me, the special envoy of the underworld, the Impermanence Walker."
Xiao Jie was also nervous, and the idea he provided was just a trick to use the tiger's skin to raise a big banner.
Today is the special time when the Yin Tide breaks out. The ghosts in the ghost market must have noticed the occurrence of the Yin Tide. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the four ghost generals, all signs indicate that the underworld is brewing some kind of conspiracy.
In that case, why not take advantage of the situation?
If the ghosts in the ghost market are aware of something but don't know the truth, then there is a chance that the bluff will be successful. However, if the ghosts in the ghost market know what is happening, or are simply unaware of what is happening, then it will most likely be useless.
Fortunately, it seems that Xiao Jie made the right bet this time. After Ye Luo's words, the boss of the troupe suddenly changed his expression.
"Master Wuchang, please don't joke. How can we trouble you to come to our small ghost market? You don't know that I am only responsible for providing the venue, and there are others who are responsible for the performance."
"Oh, who is that?"
"It's me." A sinister voice suddenly sounded.
Then a figure shrouded in a black robe was seen slowly floating out from the backstage. The black robe covered the whole body of the person. There were no legs under the black robe, but he was directly floating in the air.
He had a white mask on his face, with grim features painted on it.
Puppet Master (Disciple of the Painting Saint): Level 48 Elite. HP 4200.
Xiao Jie was slightly surprised. Level 48... This person is a bit strong. Fortunately, he is just an elite monster.
I don't know what kind of sect this Huashengzhai belongs to? Even the abandoned disciples have such strength.
However, even if it is an elite monster, they cannot easily attack it. After all, it is a monster close to level 50, which is roughly equivalent to a player of the same level.
Moreover, this person's profession seems to be a magician. Judging from the fact that he can use strange magic to turn Xia Yi Wushuang into a paper man, this person's magic must be very strange.
If a war really breaks out, it's completely unknown.
Ye Luo was obviously a little unsure, "I don't want to cause trouble, but my informant was caught by you, so I have to talk to you about it. How about this, you release my people, and we will leave naturally."
The puppeteer chuckled, and the mask suddenly changed into a red mask with an angry face, which felt like the Sichuan face-changing technique.
"I worked hard to make this paper puppet. How can I let it go just like that?"
"Aren't you afraid of my underworld army?"
"Haha, don't make me laugh. There may or may not be an army of the underworld, but you are just a small impermanence walker. Even if there is an army, what power do you have to mobilize it?"
Xiao Jie felt mixed emotions. The other party was obviously still a little bit afraid, but not too much. Ye Luo said coldly, "Are you ready to take a gamble? See if I can summon the army of the underworld? If you really want to do this, don't regret it when the time comes."
The puppeteer was obviously still worried. "Haha, I can give you the person, but I can't give it to you for free - 20,000 gold coins, and I'll let him go if you pay me."
After hearing this, Ye Luo immediately sent a private message to Xiao Jie.
Ye Luo: What should I do? Should I accept it?
Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment. Two hundred thousand gold coins... well, it's safer than a head-on confrontation.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Promise him.
Ye Luo snorted coldly: "Okay, then 20,000 gold coins."
"But you'd better act quickly. I'm not very good at puppetry. If I keep this puppet for too long, it won't be able to turn back into a human."
"for how long?"
"An hour."
As soon as the four of them left the stage, the crowd immediately surrounded them.
"Speaking of which, where can we get 20,000 gold coins?" Bai Ze said speechlessly.
I want to become an immortal, but I suggested: "I just noticed that there are many small games in the market that can earn gold."
Xiao Jie also noticed it. In fact, he had exactly this plan.
Ye Luo said helplessly: "But we don't have the capital. It seems that those small games require money to gamble."
Xiao Jie said: "It doesn't matter, just sell some things."
Bai Ze said: "I tried to sell some things, but the people here don't want them, and the currency and silver here are not accepted."
Xiao Jie said: "Ghosts won't take things from living people, but there is one thing they will definitely take. I have a good thing, let me go to the pawn shop and pawn it for some money first."
What Xiao Jie was talking about was the ebony incense in his bag. Before, a stick of ordinary incense in the food store was worth 5000 Yuanbao. His ebony incense was of top quality, so it should be worth at least Yuanbao.
Of course, the price of recycling in the store will definitely not be that much, but it can at least be used as capital.
As long as he had the capital, he could just go to the market and win some. As for how to win the money, he already had a plan.
Xiao Jie took the three people to a pawnshop in the ghost market and directly sold a stick of ebony incense. Although this item was precious, he didn't care about that in order to save people.
Fortunately, as long as I can earn enough money, I can buy it back.
Just as Xiao Jie had guessed, a stick of ebony incense was sold for only 4000 yuan.
It is far from the real price, after all, it is the store recycling price.
Looking at the pile of golden ingots in the bag, Xiao Jie thought, "So this is it? Why does it look like the gold ingots burned at graves?"
"Who among you is confident that you can win the money?"
I want to become an immortal and said hesitantly: "Give me five hundred, I'll give it a try."
Xiao Jie gave me 500 Yuanbao.
"Ye Luo, what about you?"
"Give me 1500. I have a plan and I should be able to earn some back."
Xiao Jie had some confidence in Ye Luo, mainly because Ye Luo had always been very stable. Maybe he could give him a surprise this time, so he gave Ye Luo 1500 Yuanbao without saying a word.
"Bai Ze, what about you?"
"I don't need it. I do have an idea, but it doesn't cost much."
This surprised Xiao Jie a little.
"Well, let's do it this way. The four of us will split up and try to earn as many gold ingots as possible. Human lives are at stake. Everyone, cheer up and gather in 90 minutes."
The four of them separated and went their separate ways.
Xiao Jie took the remaining 2000 yuan and went straight to a Go stall he had seen before.
But I saw an old man with a gaunt face sitting behind the stall, with a chess table and chess basket in front of him and a sign next to him.
[Black and white play chess, you have to accept the loss if you lose, 100 yuanbao per game, no upper limit. ]
Xiao Jie sat down directly on the stone bench opposite. When the old man saw him, his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Young brother, you want to play chess with me? Haha, not bad, not bad. I haven't opened my shop yet today, so I'll just open a bet with you. Do you understand the rules of this game?"
A dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Xiao Jie.
[Option 1: I understand. Just play with 100 Yuanbao per game.
Option 2: I'm just taking a look and I'll leave right away.
Option 3: If you want to play, play big. Let's just bet [] ingots. (Please enter the bet you want to place in the blank)]
Xiao Jie decisively chose option 3.
"If you want to play, play big. How about 2000 Yuanbao for this round?"
"Two thousand Yuanbao? Hahaha, little brother is really generous. Anyway, 2000 Yuanbao."
There was a curious ghost watching the chess game nearby, who warned him, "Little brother, be careful. This old ghost was the chess king of Qingquan Town when he was alive. After his death, he had no worries. He played chess every day for hundreds of years and never lost."
"No problem. Let the old gentleman experience something new today. The old gentleman should play black, so that people won't accuse me of bullying the old man."
The chess master laughed instead of getting angry, "You are quite arrogant, boy. Well, then it will be as you wish."
As he spoke, a word fell.
Xiao Jie silently turned on another computer and started the chess AI, and followed the old man's method and placed the same word in the same position.
Watching the AI make its move, he followed suit and placed another word on the game board.
The old man smiled slightly, "Interesting, haha, let me see what you can do——"
Twenty minutes later——
"How is this possible? How is this possible?"
The chess master looked incredulous, his expression uglier than that of a dead person.
[System prompt: Defeat the chess master and get 2000 yuan treasure. ]
Seeing his assets doubled in an instant, Xiao Jie was in a good mood.
The chess player, however, had a look of uncertainty on his face, looking confused as he looked at the chessboard.
"Alas, I didn't expect there would be such a master. But I was careless just now. Do you dare to play another round with me?"
Xiao Jie smiled slightly, "Of course you can, but if you want to play, then play big. How about [4000] Yuanbao for this round?
