Chapter 574 I am here, they can’t leave
Xiao Ran couldn’t say for sure what this thing was like, but it looked quite interesting. He might as well study it carefully after he was done with his work.

In addition to this cursed object, there are also 10,000 ghost money, which Xiao Ran will naturally not let go of. After all, he also needs to make his money back.

“As long as you don’t leave this house, you can rest on the first floor, read a book, drink tea, whatever you want. You are not allowed to go up to the second and third floors.”

Xiao Ran turned and said to the old demon Qinghai.

“Haha, that’s enough.” The old demon Qinghai smiled. The space for movement was not large, but at least it was much better than letting him lie in the Yinbing Gourd.

After the old demon Qinghai left, Xiao Ran began to examine the corpse in front of him.

The body’s face was disfigured.

This is not surprising. Penglai Tower naturally does not want to cause trouble by selling a corpse. What if the corpse belongs to someone from Changchun Society or Donglongfang? If someone comes to ask for it, Penglai Tower will have to give it to them or not.

So in order to avoid this kind of situation, most people have to destroy their face.

Xiao Ran didn’t pay attention to the ruined face, but his eyes were focused on the chest of the corpse.

It was a sword wound.

Xiao Ran placed his fingers on the wound, rubbed it gently, then poked his fingers in to explore carefully.

“Tongxuan?”

Xiao Ran’s eyelids twitched slightly. Although he had not reached this level, he had felt the power of Tongxuan’s swordsmanship in the hands of Huang Chao, that turtle bastard.

This unlucky guy was killed by a single sword strike from a master of swordsmanship. Although on the outside it looked like just a wound, when the sword energy penetrated his body, countless sword energies burst out in his body in an instant, penetrating his entire body and directly killing him.

“Oh, it’s a bit of a loss. This is extremely difficult.”

Xiao Ran sighed, picked up the scalpel and began to perform the autopsy…

……

The next day.

“Dong Dong Dong!!”

The night watchman’s drum sounded outside the door, and it was past the fifth watch, which meant that last night was another peaceful night.

It’s not known whether it is peaceful or not, but the number of beginners pouring into Bone Spirit Street has begun to increase dramatically.

Apparently, many people have passed through the contaminated area and become beginners.

With the company’s serious strategy manual, these beginners did not feel unfamiliar when they arrived at Guling Street. Instead, they quickly followed the suggestions given in the beginner’s manual, got off the bus, looked for the nearest public mailbox, and got the rewards inside.

Then he ran to the slums as fast as he could and rented an apartment there.

If anyone has spare money, they can go to Penglai Tower or Donglongfang to buy cursed objects or curse patterns to improve themselves as quickly as possible.

According to the guide, real-life cash can be exchanged for Hell Money, and the exchange rate is one Hell Money at ten thousand, which is a very fair price. The company can also exempt from tax for small exchanges.

Some well-funded forces have also begun to intervene on a large scale.

However, when they thought they could quickly improve themselves with the huge amount of funds, they came in and took a look, and wow, the rules of this world were completely different from what they imagined.

If you want to upgrade your career level, you need to meet some strange requirements and rules, which will make people feel desperate.

Especially those niche professions, they have no idea how to start.

It was at this time that a big piece of news suddenly exploded and spread in the beginner circle at an astonishing speed.

[Swallowing spell patterns of the same profession can increase the proficiency of professional skills. In theory, as long as you have five spell patterns of the same profession, you can achieve a qualitative improvement in your professional skills. ]

[Penglai Tower has known about this news for a long time. The so-called scroll synthesis machine they launched not long ago is a complete scam. The machine is controlled by humans. They deliberately spread the news and used their own resource advantages to select high-quality professional spell patterns. The so-called random synthesis is nothing more than spell patterns they threw out at random. In fact, they are doing a one-for-five business, and they have already made a lot of money. ]

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Many people scolded Penglai Tower for being shameless.

“Fuck you, those bastards from Penglai Tower, I gave them ten spell patterns, but they only exchanged them for two pieces of garbage, fuck them.”

In the tavern, someone started cursing and cursed all the relatives of Penglai Lou’s family for eighteen generations, but he could only vent his anger.

After all, Penglai Tower is now very powerful, so they really dare not do anything.

“It’s a huge loss. I checked today and the price of an F-level spell has doubled. The price of an E-level spell is even more exaggerated. An E-level spell is almost catching up with the price of a D-level spell.”

“Penglai Tower has made a fortune this time. Damn it, I told you, the cost of spell pattern synthesis is so cheap, damn!”

Everyone kept cursing, but someone said, “After the Changchun Society disappeared, the rules became less and less followed. Now even Penglai Tower is breaking the rules. I wonder how chaotic things will get in the future.”

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Especially those beginners who had once traded in Changchun Guild Hall couldn’t help but start to miss it.

At that time, Changchun Association was still there, and no one would set up stalls on Guling Street. If you set up a stall, someone would naturally come to help you and find a suitable place for you.

At that time, the streets of Guling Street were spotless, and everyone tacitly maintained the environment in front of their homes.

Now, when I walk out the door and a breeze blows, I see garbage bags everywhere.

It has been a long time since anyone has eaten the yellow croaker from the river in Guling Street.

In the past, everyone went fishing, and how much they caught depended on their own ability. Now, fishermen are too lazy to waste their time here, just because some idiots set up a dead-end net upstream of Guling Street and caught all the fish.

Nowadays, fishermen go to Dream Lake or some more remote maze cities to fish.

Someone sighed and drank the wine in one gulp, then checked the time, got up and left, seemingly heading outside Guling Street.

Seeing this, others put down their glasses and prepared to leave.

The bartender quickly closed the doors and windows and hung a sign at the door that read “Peace Every Year”. Then the sound of breaking glass could be heard from time to time in the pub.

There were people hurrying on the street, but in a moment there were no more pedestrians.

“Bang bang bang!!”

“It’s dry and dry, be careful with the candle!!”

When the night watchmen sounded on the street, the windows on both sides were closed tightly.

The Changchun Society is gone, but the rules have not decreased. Instead, there are many more rules. However, these rules are not made by people.

When Li Ji walked to Xiao Ran’s house holding the night watchman’s gong, he saw Xiao Ran standing at the door waiting for him from afar.

“Brother Li!!”

Xiao Ran waved enthusiastically and walked out of the house.

Li Ji glanced at Xiao Ran and saw that Xiao Ran was wrapped in death energy, like a dead person. His brows relaxed immediately: “It’s been a long time since we last met. You have become quite accomplished now.”

“Hahaha, it was just luck.”

Xiao Ran said modestly, then took out a bottle of wine and handed it to Li Ji: “Brother Li, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I’ve been waiting for you here tonight. Do you want to come in and have a drink?”

“That won’t work. It’s only the first watch of the day.”

Li Ji shook the gong in his hand and said, “If you have any questions, please tell me as soon as possible. Don’t delay me.”

“No, I’m just curious, with your strength, Brother Li, why do you have to work here?”

Li Ji said jokingly, “Why, you think I’m annoying and want me to move?”

“No, no, no! Why would I think so? I’m just curious. Brother Li, your strength may not be lower than that of the Star Treasure Master. Why do you have to rely on others here? Why don’t you just follow me? I will find a place for Brother Li. Heaven is the boss, earth is the second, and you are the third.”

“Don’t go.”

“Why? I really don’t see what’s good about this place. I heard that when the maze city is built, many people here will leave. Brother Li, aren’t you going to leave?”

Hearing Xiao Ran’s question, Li Ji fell silent.

He shook the gong in his hand, glanced at the third-floor window behind Xiao Ran, and said calmly: “I’m here, they can’t leave.”

“Sister Liu!”

Xiao Ran pushed open the door to the third floor.

Sister Liu nodded slightly at him, as if she was not surprised by Li Ji’s answer: “He is right. As long as he is here, none of us can leave, neither me nor the neighbors on both sides.”

Xiao Ran walked to Sister Liu’s side and looked through the window in the direction where Li Ji left. He could still hear his night watchman’s voice in the distance.

As far as the eye can see, there seems to be a faint shadow flashing outside the windows of the neighbors around, but I can’t see clearly what it is.

“So, there will definitely be a fight between you two?”

Xiao Ran asked with some concern. He had a good relationship with Brother Li, but he had an even better relationship with Sister Liu.

If the two of them start fighting, Xiao Ran really doesn’t know who to help.

Sister Liu did not answer Xiao Ran, but just said to Xiao Ran: “When are you leaving?”

Xiao Ran sighed, looked at the scenery in the distance, and after a moment of silence, he said, “Tomorrow, I plan to change my fate tonight and set off early tomorrow morning.”

Xiao Ran picked up the small notebook, opened it, and saw his new plan goals on it.

Not many, just four plans.

Crack down on the Changchun Society, support the Jingqi Pavilion, build a bus station, and learn the skills of a barber.

The most important of the four plans is the Changchun Conference.

From the memories of Jinniu and Shanlong, Xiao Ran already knew that the Changchun Society had begun to infiltrate Ruzhou and had even set its sights on the Jingqi Pavilion.

He had no idea what means these bastards were going to use. Shanlong and Taurus’ memories were restricted by some force, making it impossible for them to obtain all the information.

So Xiao Ran had to take the initiative.

“You want to change your fate tonight? Have you figured out how to do it?”

Sister Liu looked at Xiao Ran.

“I found a good fate from that C-level corpse. [Moon Pillar·Flying Lu Stepping on Snow] plus the fate I have, I plan to modify it for myself first, the Exiled Immortal Ferry. No, it should be said to be a simplified version. The effect may not be as strong as the one in the fate chart, but it’s not bad for me.”

“The horoscope I gave you is just a basic reference. The horoscope patterns are ever-changing. There is no best one, only the one that suits you best. It’s fine as long as you think it’s suitable.”

“Yes, I think so too. The most important thing is that I have too few life evil spirits now. I will slowly improve them when I have more in the future.”

After Xiao Ran and Sister Liu talked about some fate matters, they went downstairs to get busy. When Xiao Ran left, Sister Liu said to herself:
“The fate situation can only change your luck, but not your fate. I hope that when I see you next time, you will have the capital to change your fate…”
