Chapter 470 Store
The death of the golden rat attracted all the residents in the building. They quickly came to the first floor and collected the gold coins scattered on the ground. There were quite a lot of them, more than a thousand. After collecting the gold coins, they did not take them for themselves, but piled them all on the golden rat skin.

The golden coins exude an attractive luster.

Everyone was very eager, but they also followed the rules of the building.

Only adventurers who hunt monsters are eligible to distribute the spoils, and adventurers must abide by the rules and distribute the spoils to all those who participate in the action and provide help.

Li Yi didn’t know these rules, but he saw the desire for gold coins in these people’s eyes.

But to him, these gold coins are of no use.

Because he was not a permanent resident of the building, but an outsider, he did not need to live here for a long time. He just wanted to understand this strange place, so he just casually grabbed a handful of gold coins and said, “Split the remaining gold coins among you. This is my gift to you.”

“Great.”

Everyone cheered and several older people immediately stood up and began to distribute the gold coins in front of them.

They have their own set of distribution guidelines.

That means dividing it by headcount.

Everyone got more than a dozen gold coins, and some families with four or five people received dozens of them at once. This money was undoubtedly a huge fortune for them and could allow them to live for a long time.

After the gold coins were distributed, only a golden rat skin was left on the ground.

The complete golden mouse skin also seems to be a treasure here.

However, no one touched the golden rat skin, as if it was tacitly accepted as belonging to Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi picked up the golden rat skin.

Reach out and touch it to feel it.

It is indeed somewhat magical.

It is soft and comfortable, keeps warm very well, and seems to have strong defensive capabilities. Of course, this is only for ordinary people. For an outsider practitioner like Li Yi, the defensive capabilities are not worth mentioning.

At this time, the girl named Bai You came over with a dozen gold coins in her hand and said, “This golden mouse skin is very rare. Wearing it allows you to enter a room and take away the treasures inside. However, it can only be used once, and it will be damaged after one use. I have seen someone wearing a golden mouse skin enter a room before. He took away a battle axe and later killed many monsters with the battle axe.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately thought of the branch rooms he had encountered in the previous passage.

I didn’t expect that this golden mouse skin would be used in this way.

“Interesting stuff.”

Li Yi then put away the golden rat skin and said, “Are there many monsters in this building?”

Bai You said: “There is another dead soul monster on the 25th floor, and it is also locked in a room. However, the dead soul monster is not easy to deal with. If you want to kill it, you must use the dead soul sickle.”

“Dead soul monster? Is it the kind of thing that floats around in the sky?” When Li Yi heard her description, he immediately thought of the strange thing before.

Bai You nodded; “Yes.”

“How do I get the Death Soul Scythe?” Li Yi asked again.

“Kill a dead soul monster and you can steal its dead soul sickle.” Bai You said.

“.” Li Yi thought this answer was really good.

Without the Scythe of Dead Souls, you can’t kill the Dead Souls Monster, and if you can’t kill the Dead Souls Monster, you can’t get the Scythe of Dead Souls.

What a perfect closed loop.

“But you can go to the store and have a look. There might be something there to deal with the dead soul monsters.” Bai You said, and she mentioned the store again.

Li Yi weighed the gold coins in his hand and said, “Okay, I’ll go to the store on the tenth floor to have a look.”

Without hesitation, he walked upstairs again. In order not to attract too much attention, Li Yi did not choose to use the cloud-flying technique.

soon.

He met up with Xuan Yuezi and went to the tenth floor.

The entire tenth floor was occupied by shops, but many of them were closed, with only one shop still having its lights on.

The style of the store is a bit old, like it was from the 1980s.

However, what was strange was that the owner of the store was not a living person, but a dried corpse. The corpse sat in front of the counter, motionless, with an old TV next to it. The TV had no signal and kept making a rustling sound, but there were many things displayed in the store.

There are daily necessities such as rice, soy sauce, salt, clothes, cloth, as well as scissors, kitchen knives, and other tools, and even cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs. This place is like a large supermarket where all your daily needs can be met.

In addition, there are many other weapons, including cold weapons such as swords and spears, hot weapons such as pistols, shotguns, and explosives.

However, these things are within Li Yi’s scope of cognition and are nothing.

But some things have gone beyond the ordinary scope and involve the extraordinary and spiritual practice.

For example, Li Yi saw a magic book on a shelf, which was locked with an iron chain and looked ancient and mysterious. Another example was that he saw an elf in an iron cage, but the elf was not as beautiful as in fairy tales, but skinny, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and extremely ugly. “So that’s why the people in the building can survive by relying on this weird store.” Li Yi now understood why the people in this building could live here for decades.

As long as this quirky store remains in business, people can stay indoors.

The huge corpse in the middle of the building can also emit a peculiar energy field, nourishing the people in the building so that they will not become weak and sick due to this harsh environment. At the same time, the corpse can also resist dangerous invasions.

Although the corpses in the building are rotting and their protective abilities are weakening, if one can hunt down the monsters and pour their blood on the corpses, the decay rate of the corpses can be slowed down, and the corpses can even repair themselves.

If this set of rules continues to operate in this way, there will be no problem.

But people are complex and changeable.

It is not difficult to infer from the situation in this building that this place was indeed prosperous in the past, but as time passed, it declined and only had more than a hundred residents left. Perhaps the situation would be much better in other buildings, but it was only a matter of time before the world in this building went to destruction.

Because it is very simple.

Once the number of people in the building decreases to a certain level, the balance will be broken and the operation of the building will be in trouble. At that time, even if someone wants to save it, nothing can be done.

But if there are too many people, contradictions and conflicts are inevitable.

Just when Li Yi was thinking.

The residents who had been allocated gold coins before also came to the store at this moment. They used the gold coins to buy a large amount of daily necessities, carrying all kinds of food and drinks and carrying them away. However, they would put down a gold coin before leaving the store.

The mummy sitting on the counter put the gold coins into the drawer below.

Li Yi saw a man put down a gold coin and then carried dozens of bags of rice away. It was obvious that the purchasing power of a gold coin was stronger than he had imagined. What was strange was that the rice seemed to be endless and kept rolling down from the rice bin. He also saw a woman holding a gold coin and giving it to the mummy, indicating that she wanted to pay the electricity and water bills.

After the mummy received the gold coins, the lights in a house were immediately turned on.

“Is this possible?” Li Yi was stunned when he saw it.

There were even people who held sick children and held gold coins to ask the mummy to heal them. The mummy raised its skinny arms, and as if casting a spell, a light green light appeared and shone on the child, and the child’s illness was immediately cured.

And after observation he discovered.

The most basic food and drinks in the store are very cheap, but the really expensive things are weapons and supernatural things.

Because until now Li Yi has not seen anyone buy a sword or a gun to protect their safety. Logically speaking, the most important thing in a place like this should be weapons, because only with weapons can you fight monsters, and have the opportunity to hunt monsters to get more gold coins, so as to live a better life.

However, Li Yi understood again when he thought back to the huge rat just now.

With the power and strength of these ordinary people, it is too difficult to hunt this creature. Even if they have weapons in their hands, they are probably no match for the monster. Before, in the room where the rats were trapped, Li Yi saw many damaged weapons, and there were dried blood stains on each weapon, which was enough to prove that the people in this building had tried hard.

It’s just that they failed.

The risk is too great.

Most people naturally choose to focus on survival.

While Li Yi was studying these things, Xuan Yuezi was staring at the mummy. In her opinion, this mummy was not as simple as it seemed. It seemed to be the manifestation of some kind of power. This power was somewhat similar to the huge female corpse in the middle of the building, but this place was special.

The darkness invaded and affected her perception, otherwise she could follow the clues and find the source of the mummy’s power.

“Is that a map?”

Suddenly, Li Yi found something that interested him, a sheepskin map, priced at twenty gold coins.

This was a magical map. When he picked up the map, a thick black fog dissipated on the map, revealing the appearance of the building. Each floor was clearly displayed, and there was a special mark on the 25th floor, which was the appearance of a dead soul monster.

This means there are monsters wandering around on that floor.

It seems that Bai You was right.

There is only one mark on the 30th floor, which is a red door. As for what it represents, Li Yi doesn’t know.

What’s even more strange is that after Li Yi took the map, his own location appeared on it. It was a small glowing dot, and as he moved, the dot also moved.

“Good stuff.” Li Yi decided to buy the map. This thing is very useful in this world.

Taking out the gold coins from before, he placed twenty of them on the counter. As the mummy took the gold coins, the transaction was completed.

“By the way, let me ask you, what will happen if I leave the store with the things without paying?” Li Yi asked suddenly.

“Then you can’t take your stuff out of the store. Everyone must abide by the store’s rules.” The man who came back with the rice said enthusiastically, “I really want to thank you this time. Without you, our family would have gone hungry this year.”

After saying this, the man quickly carried the rice and left.

Xuan Yuezi said: “There are powerful beings who have established a series of rules to protect the people in this world. Everyone must rely on these rules to survive. Many places seem unreasonable, but in fact the answers have already appeared.”

As she spoke, she looked at the huge rotting female corpse.
