6. Chapter 6: The Profiteers
"What! A small spirit pill costs 10,000 points!"
Shen An looked at the things in the "commodity shop", and for the first time felt what it was like to be "robbed". Even the stores of the various spiritual artifacts in the cultivation realm are not so unreliable!
The thing of building the spirit pill, because the spiritual root was damaged in the previous life, Shen An directly used it as sugar to eat. However, a spirit pill is just two spirit stones in the mortal realm. As long as Shen An reported to Tianyuan Zhenren, he could get more than 100 at a time.
However, in the item shop provided by the "system", a spirit pill costs 10,000 points, and his smile on ordinary villagers is only 0.01 points!
Although it is said that curing diseases and saving people can increase a lot of points, but now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, there are still thousands of years before the war of gods and demons, where did he find so many dead people!
[Please don't worry, the so-called "equality of all beings", the system's judgment on curing diseases and saving people is not limited to "people", whether you are a human or a ghost, a god or a monster, even if there is a puppy on the side of the road, as long as it is saved, it is 7,000 points. At the same time, this system can also have achievements such as "Generous Donation and Wealth Squandering", or "Drawing a Sword to Help When the Road is Uneven" and other achievements are waiting for you to unlock! However, it should be noted that when acting bravely, you must grasp the scale, and you must not let yourself fly and kill innocents indiscriminately, otherwise the system will also deduct points! γ
Wait a minute! If you are equal for life, how many points do you add if you save a nest of ants?
[I'm curious how you can save a nest of ants?] Most people ask, 'What if I trample a nest of ants?' γ
Answer this seat!
[Yes, yes, it is still a thousand points saved, and it will not be less. You're not planning to follow the kids and stop them from earning points while they're digging out the ant's nest? This picture is a bit ......]
Shut up! Shen An, who was told the central matter, felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, changed the topic and continued to ask: How to deduct points for eating meat and vegetarian food?
[As long as it is not a plant that already has wisdom, no points will be deducted for eating.] As for meat, we use the brainwave test method, as long as the user is not greedy for gluttony, even if it is hands-on, no points will be deducted. γ
What if the tiger is returned to the mountain? Shouldn't points be deducted for putting other creatures at risk?
[No, will you stuff six meals today because you will be hungry again tomorrow? γ
Shen An frowned and continued: Can you raise flowers and plants through guΓ² to add points?
[User, your calculating behavior has ruined the beautiful image of the villains in my heart! γ
Shen An doesn't quite understand the meaning of "evil and handsome", but he faintly feels that it can make "customer service" feel good, so this is definitely not a good word!
Shen An is not a person who likes to bargain, but he is more disgusted with others deceiving and playing with him, he has been tricked by customer service for too long before, and this time he must take the initiative.
Answer this seat!
[Hey...... Yes, yes, but the points for raising flowers and plants are relatively slow. Especially for plants that do not have intelligence, because the system cannot detect brain waves and cannot sense their storage, they are raised in vain. γ
Shen Anxin moved, and immediately asked: The system not only knows what this seat is, but also knows what other people are thinking?
We can communicate with you, but we can only sense other people's feelings. Although the main method of judging is the pattern of behavior, the bonus points are based on whether the other person brings positive or negative feelings. γ
Wait a minute! The judgment is not based on the feelings of the seat, but according to the reaction of others to the behavior of the seat?
[Indeed...... But weren't it a pleasure for you to be a good person these two days? γ
When did this seat have fun! Shen An laughed angrily, and asked in his heart: In other words, even if this seat is disdainful in his heart, as long as he pretends to be a "benevolent and righteous person", he can still get extra points?
γLoading...... I say...... If you really be a good person, will you die? I've never seen such a brazen person as you......]
Let the customer service be deflated, Shen An is a little proud: This seat is shameless, because you are profiteers!
γProfiteers...... It's too much. When the system is bound to other customers, it is always easy to achieve the achievement of breaking one million, and there are many repeat customers, and the praise rate is 99.99%! γ
Shen An is too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and he must fight with her. I can't afford to buy any of the "artifacts" in the "shop pΓΉ". In this way, if you go to be a loose cultivator empty-handed, let alone kill Yuanhui, you won't even know how you died when the time comes.
Fortunately, Shen An later found "Elemental Spirit Weapon Cultivation**", this is the sequel to "Evil Blood Refiner**", Shen An has been looking for a lone book in his previous life that he has not found! With this method of refining the weapon, there is no need to kill, as long as you use your own true yuan to pour into the spiritual weapon, but the way of true qi is difficult to control, many monks have wanted to find a way to cultivate on their own, but there is no way. At present, with this cultivation technique comparison, you can refine the ordinary Xuantie Sword that had already killed a fish into a fish scale water sword that only you can control.
-- If you can't use the killing refining tool, this kind of righteous path cultivation method can be used in an emergency.
The lawless big devil in his previous life, now he has to worry about killing a fish, and a trace of sadness floated in Shen An's heart.
However, the rules of the game have been slowly mastered, and Shen An feels that the future is beginning to brighten.
Continuing to flip through the "commodity shop" with a happy mood, Shen An saw a cloth bag with a line of small words on the side:
Memory Bag - I don't know what is in the dirty cloth bag, maybe someone's precious memories?
List price: 1 billion points
Billion? What kind of fool would spend a billion points for such an incomprehensible thing!
[By the way, by the way, the things in the "merchandise shop" can be arranged in order according to your requirements and preferences, and you can put frequently used items in front of you to ensure that you can quickly find and redeem them. You see us 'profiteers' are intimate, right? γ
Automatically filtering out the nonsense of the customer service, Shen An threw this "memory bag" at the end of the inventory without hesitation.
However, everything is still "expensive to death" for him, and he has to work hard to accumulate points.
This means that Shen An must keep doing good deeds - pretending to be a "benevolent".
===================================================================================
"Shen Gongzi, you're here!"
In the Fushou Pharmacy, the woman was chatting with Aunt Shen with the baby in her arms, and when she saw Shen An, she immediately got up and bowed to the other party with a smile, and Shen An also nodded and smiled:
"I'm just here to see if there is anything I can help here, Aunt Shen."
[Ding - be kind and kind to the villagers, extra points, and now the total score is 239768 points. γ
Shen An listened to the continuous sound of the "system" in his mind with satisfaction. When the "customer service" goes offline and rests, it is the system's automatic judgment reply. Shen An is now more and more proficient in the system's bonus rules.
Half a year ago, after Shen An extended the life of An Ruyi's son with "Heaven and Earth Live the Same Life", he understood that the best way to quickly add points was to cure the disease and save people. In the past six months, Shen An has been running down the mountain as soon as he finds an opportunity for points, and doing all kinds of good deeds.
At this moment, he was in an extremely good mood - as long as he healed two more people, his points would be enough for him to redeem HuΓ n's "Elemental Spirit Weapon Cultivation**".
"The reputation of the Miaoshou Su family is really not shouted in vain." Aunt Shen stepped forward and greeted: "Look how strong Xiaobao is now!" β
Aunt Shen teased Xiaobao and motioned An Ruyi to stuff Xiaobao into Shen An's arms, who was as kind as a stream, but Shen An was at a loss.
Shen An had never held a baby in his previous life, and he suddenly stiffened.
The "thing" in his arms was obviously small, soft and light, but Shen An felt as if he was holding a thunder flint that would explode at any time.
Shen Anxin felt the urge to throw him out.
The baby's big deer-like eyes stared at him, and its long eyelashes flickered and blinked. The red puffy face was no longer as pale as when I first saw him, and when I saw him, I couldn't help but pout and laugh.
"Yo, this kid knows you." Aunt Shen said teasingly on the side.
Shen An tugged at the corners of his mouth: How can you remember at such a young age? It's just that he smirks at everyone.
"Shen Gongzi is really a good person."
has no beginning or end, An Ruyi suddenly came up with such a sentence.
In his previous life, Shen An had never heard anyone call him a good person, but he had long been tired of hearing the titles of evil star and demon.
I'm not a good guy.
Shen Anzhong sneered, he knew that this qiΔ was just an illusion disguised for the sake of points, Shen An's hands were already stained with blood - those damned and innocent, he never let go of anything that stood in his way.
When he encounters gods and kills gods, encounters ghosts and kills ghosts, is haunted by resentful spirits, and is bitten by thousands of ghosts, Shen An will never forget it for a day.
He won't forget jì, he is a lonely star in the sky, a demon and a demon.
-- He was the only one who was not a good man.
"Speaking of which, it's time to say goodbye to Shen Gongzi." An Ruyi smiled softly, looking at the young man in front of her who was always melancholy, except for Shen An and Shen Fu, there was only one immortal cultivator she knew, but that person always looked heartless and unrestrained, she thought that all monks should be like that.
"It's been half a year, and time is so fast."
Shen An came back to his senses, and in his previous life, he didn't know anything about An Ruyi except that she was her uncle's sweetheart. However, during this period of getting along, he more or less began to understand Dao'an Ruyi's situation. Her family runs a small "Ruyi Wine Shop", located in the territory of Lingxian, that is, the territory of the "Miaoshou Su Family", her husband originally joined her family, but unfortunately died early, leaving only Xiaobao as a posthumous son. Who knew that the child was congenitally deficient and had been sick since birth. An Ruyi closed the tavern, scattered all her family wealth, and sought medical treatment everywhere for her son.
"Your liquor store is closed, isn't it? How do you make a living when you go back? Shen An asked.
"If you have the ability to do something, you can always live."
Looking at An Ruyi's smile, Shen An seemed to understand what Su Wuwu liked about her.
Speaking of which, how did Su Wuwu know her?
Anyway, this is not something that Shen An should ask more. In the previous life, he had never seen Su Wuwu since he saved Xiaobao, and maybe their uncle and nephew fate was limited to this.
An Ruyi wanted to take Xiaobao back from Shen An's hands, but Xiaobao suddenly cried. A white and chubby little hand tightly grasped a piece of jade pendant that Shen An wore on his body-
No, it was half a jade pendant - it was something that Su Yao had left to Shen An before he died, and the other half of the jade pendant was on his younger brother Shen Ping.
"This kid's vision is so good, this jade pendant is the most valuable thing on me."
An Ruyi smiled awkwardly and patted Xiaobao's hand, but Xiaobao didn't give any face, just unwilling to let go. Shen An was silent, lowered his head and put the jade red rope out of his neck, and wrapped the red rope around Xiaobao's plump and white wrist.
"It's also fate, so I'll give him this jade pendant."
"How can this be!" An Ruyi hurriedly wanted to break Xiaobao's hand and return the jade pendant, but Shen An stopped her, An Ruyi knew that this thing was valuable, and she had nothing to exchange, so she could only thank Shen An:
"That'...... At least you'll pick the child's name. You are his benefactor, why does he want him to remember you for the rest of his life! β
Shen An was stunned, he had never given someone a name.
"'The king made the jade man take care of his own treasure.'" This child is related to jade, and his nickname is Xiaobao, so let's call it An Puyu. β
Shen An said casually.
"An Puyu...... It's really a good name. β
An Yiru looked gentle, teasing Xiaobao in his arms, Xiaobao got the jade, and the tears in his eyes were squeezed in his eyes aggrievedly, Shen An looked at this little face for a while, and then turned to Aunt Shen and said:
"Auntie, you can prepare more coils for Aunt An in the future, it is best enough for her to open a small shop after she goes back, and tell me the money when the time comes, and I will make up for Shen Fu."
"You Shen Niang lack this money?! I've got the money! You can't just be a good person!! β
[Ding - After being judged by the system, the achievement "Generosity and Righteousness and Wealth" is unlocked, and the total score is now 240768 points. γ
Listening to the voice that came to mind in his mind, Shen Anxin sneered.
-- I'm not a good person, never has been.
======================================================================
Time flies, and nearly a year has passed since Shen An's rebirth, and his points have been rising. Because the true qi was unsealed, the spiritual root also began to sprout again. Shen An can already use his true qi to heal and save people. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, most of the time he was helping Aunt Shen, but when he was helping the town's farm animals that had contracted the epidemic or injured beasts in the wild, he would use the Su family's "magic hand rejuvenation" magic to heal.
They are dangerous, but they can't speak, they don't ask questions, they can help Shen An keep secrets.
Fortunately, "all living beings are equal", and the points that can be obtained for treating them are the same.
He has already exchanged for a lot of spirit pills, and he has also obtained the "Elemental Spirit Weapon Cultivation**", but he has not stopped accumulating points, he needs too many things, if he wants to refine the fish scale water sword, he must get more materials for the water spirit element - and those materials, for Shen An, who cannot leave the Shen family's sphere of influence, can only be obtained from the "commodity shop".
He had to pick up his pace. In this year, his younger brother Shen Ping has made rapid progress, and the acquired, congenital, and qi cultivation stages have been broken, and in another year, Shen Ping began to build a foundation in a hundred days, and after he came out of the pass, Shen Aocao would invite all sects and factions in the cultivation realm, including the Tianyuan True People of Taixuan Dayan to celebrate. When the time comes, the master Gao Wanshou in the previous life will also come.
- The jealous and hateful master will hunt down and kill himself again for the sake of the Heavenly Dao, Shen An has no doubt about this.
Tianyuan Zhenren is afraid that he has already realized that something is wrong. That's why he asked Gao Wanshou to be Shen An's master. That's why he repeatedly warned Shen An not to return to the Shen family, but to focus on cultivation.
But Shen An still foolishly trusted Shen Aoduo, and hypnotizing his father's torture was just a test.
Can't afford to slack off anymore. Shen An had recently thought of a new way to accumulate merit, and he would spend his days near Red Lotus Mountain looking for injured beasts to heal. Red Lotus Mountain is close to the river, and is located in the spiritual vein, which is the place of heaven and earth, not only to raise people but also to raise all kinds of fierce beasts and spiritual things. Those beasts are slightly psychic, and rarely go up to the mountain town to harass mortals. Instead, the hunters of Red Lotus Town will come to hunt to support their families. Fortunately, they were only trying to fill their stomachs, and they never rushed to kill them all, so there was no one who came to seek revenge.
He also carries silver coins with him, releases animals that have fallen into the trap, and places them in the trap - this method earns the most points.
Today, as usual, he wanders in the back mountains.
Walking slowly along the path, Shen An was in a forest when he suddenly heard a quarrel. He stopped, listened to the displacement, and then leaned in warily towards the source of the sound.
"What a young master, but a wasted person!"
The rude and arrogant mocking laughter rang out, Shen An frowned and took a few steps closer, and saw Shen Fu surrounded by a group of Shen family disciples in the middle of the woodland, the two sides were tense, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
"You are presumptuous! Even if the young master's innate qi is not opened, it is not something you can put your beak! β
"He's just going to be reincarnated, what's the big deal! If you confess your master, you will not open your eyes. Isn't it just to have a place in the Shen family that you follow him like a dog all day long? If you weren't pleasing that waster, you would also be worthy of the surname Shen?! β
"Oh? Why can't Brother Fu be surnamed Shen? β
Just when Shen An was furious and was about to secretly teach the guards a lesson, a lazy and immature, but extremely familiar voice floated towards everyone. Shen An calmed down in an instant.
- Shen Ping.
Shen Ping, who came out of the forest, was about ten years old, and he still had a childish smile on his face, but the Shen family knew that this child had already cultivated to the highest level of innate qi and was about to enter the foundation building stage. If these people are alone, none of them will be his opponents.
Of course, they didn't have the courage to rush to the second young master of the Shen family, the real next head of the Shen family.
Several of the guards suddenly changed their faces, and nodded at the boy who was not yet at their waist with a flattering smile:
"Second young master, we ...... It's just a joke with Shen Fu. β
"Oh, then why didn't Brother Fu laugh? I don't think it's funny. β
The guard who opened his mouth looked embarrassed, and before he could speak, Shen Ping said: "It is naturally good for a few senior brothers to have fun, even if you say something, you should pay attention to it, after all, the door rules are so strict, and the disciples who fight strictly in private will be directly driven out of the Shen family." β
Everyone was immediately silent, sweating profusely, and Shen Ping suddenly stuck out his tongue at a few people and said, "Don't worry, I also know that senior brothers like to play with each other, and I won't tell my father." β
Several disciples hurriedly bent over Shen Ping, and said a bunch of words of flattery and thanks, and quickly dispersed.
Just as Shen Fu was about to leave, Shen Ping suddenly apologized to him and said, "Brother Fu, don't care what they say. β
Shen Fuhan smiled and said, "They are all brothers and sisters of the same sect, how can they care." Then he looked dissatisfied: "But they also talk too much!" They don't know what kind of person the young master is! β
Shen Ping sighed: "Brother Fu is really a man of temperament. I had heard that my mother and Brother Fu's mother were close friends, but because of my father's strict management, I never had the opportunity to contact Brother Fu. And my brother too, I often want to be close to him, but he always hates the way I look, which is really sad. β
"The young master definitely didn't mean that!" Shen Fu hurriedly comforted: "The young master is just ...... It's just clumsy. He is good, he always goes down the mountain to help my mother treat the disease and save people, my neighbor Uncle Zhang's cow is cured by the young master, and the young master is really good. β
Hearing the phrase "more clumsy", Shen An gritted his teeth: You are also qualified to say that others are clumsy?!
"Oh?" Shen Ping's attention was obviously different from Shen An's, and he asked in surprise: "My brother is thin and weak, and my mother was always with him when I was a child, but what kind of medical skills did my mother teach my brother to rejuvenate?" Hey, speaking of which, I am also half of the Su family, but I haven't been able to learn a trick and a half of the Su family, it's a pity. β
Shen Fu broke his hands: "I am born to be useful!" Don't look at the young master's appearance, he has a good heart, he often comes to this forest to rescue injured animals, and I originally came to look for him. β
As he was talking, a bell suddenly sounded in the distance, and Shen Fu hurriedly jumped up: "Oh no! It's time to practice!. β
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Brother Fu, you go first, I still have to play here for a while, I have been tired from my hard cultivation recently." β
What's there to do here...... However, Shen Fu didn't have time to think about it, this is the sphere of influence of the Red Lotus Shen family, and the young master should not encounter any danger, but if he is late, he will be beaten hard, he doesn't want to suffer that crime.
As Shen Fu's footsteps gradually faded away, only Shen Ping was left in the forest, and just as Shen An was about to get up and leave after watching the play, Shen Ping suddenly said in a loud voice:
"Brother, since you're here, why don't you have a good chat with your younger brother?"
