Chapter 1 It's Burning Expensive Grocery Store
Early in the morning, in the seventh neighborhood of the Holy City, a grocery store opened its doors in the scorching glow of the earth's core.
Yul Yuandi poked his head out, first at the dazzling fireball overhead, and then removed the wooden planks blocking the window one by one.
"Hey, if this is how convenient it is to have a rolling shutter door in my hometown, I have to move it down piece by piece." Yuan Di muttered.
Yes, Yuan Di's hometown used to be the ocean-blue planet, but he woke up after staying up late to play the game and appeared in this world under the earth's crust and became the last person in the Yule family.
When Yuan Di just woke up in this world two years ago, he found that he was holding his cheap father's hands tightly, and inherited the grocery store under the joint witness of the neighbors standing behind him and the postman of the post house next door.
Fortunately, his cheap dad is quite capable, and he left Yuan Di this set of not small grocery stores near the second ring road in the holy city - it is extremely expensive.
That's right, it's the name of the store, and even the last words left by my dad to Yuan Di in the last stage are "All goods can't be discounted, and this store doesn't sell the best, only the most expensive."
After saying that, his old man left Yuan Di and left, and before leaving, he also turned the last little savings of the family into a funeral and brought it to the Lord Hades, and Yuan Di had to struggle with the help of several honest neighbors.
Putting away his memories, Yuan Di skillfully helped Uncle Hall next door to set up a stall selling breakfast, as for how to distinguish morning and evening under the irradiation of the earth's core that is not extinguished?
When will it be morning when you wake up?
The powerful postman in the seventh block staggered past Yuan Di's grocery store, sat at Uncle Hall's stall and ordered three things: two fritters, a bowl of tofu brain, and a salted duck egg.
"I said, old Hall, you have to put me some more brine." Duncan, the postman, shouted as he banged his lame leg, "It's still the old rule, keep the accounts, and wait until the beginning of next month to pay a paycheck." β
The Holy City is the largest city under the rule of Hades, with titles such as "the pearl of the earth" and "the most brilliant diamond under the core", and has many neighborhoods in administrative planning.
And in the civilian neighborhood of the seventh block, Duncan, as the postman, is a well-known real power figure in the entire neighborhood.
According to him, he once served as an archer under the command of Hades, and after retiring from the army, he was assigned here as a postman.
However, according to Yuan Di's understanding, a veteran non-commissioned officer was assigned to the community and took up the work of the director of the neighborhood committee, the director of the police station, the head of the infirmary, and the postman.
But that's not a big man that Yuan Di, a kid who has just come of age, can afford to mess with, even his own coming-of-age ceremony was presided over by Duncan, although after the hosting, he also took away a bottle of old godmother that he put on the counter in the store.
"Yo, the kid from Yuan Di's family come over and knock your uncle's leg. Let me tell you, this leg was injured when I followed Lord Hades to death in the first place, if I hadn't carried Lord Hades in and out seven times to kill those monsters on the ground without leaving a piece of armor, how could you kid still sit here in peace now. β
Every time they met, Duncan would brag about the story of him carrying the big man on the battlefield.
As for the villains of the story, of course, they are the mutated monsters that are active in the earth's crust.
It is said that the big guy also lived on the surface of the earth at the beginning, but then for some unknown reason a group of monsters rushed into the home.
The defeated ancestors had to retreat to the underground under the leadership of Lord Hades to establish an underground order, and the ground had long become a paradise for monsters.
Every time Yuan Di listens to this story, he has to complain about the second middle school of the ruler of this world.
How? If you live underground, you are called Hades? Then do I have to be called the Jade Emperor when I live in the sky? Are you, Hades, or the king of Hades?
This title has been inherited from generation to generation, and Yuan Di doesn't understand how many Hades are this, and he sneers at Duncan's words about the immortality and eternal youth of the Hades after drinking too much every time.
When he first crossed over, he originally thought it was a magical world, but after living for two years, the war with the ground could still stir the nerves of the big guys.
In addition, what Guo Hao saw the most was that the old Duncan, who also had to work part-time as a chengguan, was running around with a limp, chasing the small merchants and vendors who set up stalls without a license, and Uncle Hall, who was buckling the rope next door, was calculating the fluctuating vegetable prices and sighed, and the neighborhood where the old godmother came to buy soy sauce and pickles from time to time.
However, this time Duncan did not continue his story of seven in and seven out, but turned his head to Yuan Di with a sad face and said:
"Boy, cherish the good times now, the monsters on the surface are here again, and even the Lord of Hades has disappeared once again in the Imperial Expedition. Hey..."
Why say again? This is because every few decades the Immortal goes missing in an engagement with a monster on the surface and then returns again after a certain period of time.
It's just that in Yuan Di's opinion, isn't this the same as the birth of a reincarnated spirit child of a living Buddha.
For the inhabitants of the Holy City, like Duncan Hall, who had lived for generations, the disappearance of the Hades was an unexpected but logical event.
It's just that it seems that the people here are more religious, and thousands of years have passed since the Hades led everyone to retreat into the underground world, and this group of natives still firmly believes that the Hades are immortal and immortal.
As if seeing Yuan Di's impatience, Duncan grabbed the fritter and gave it to Yuan Di's head.
This fried fritters by Uncle Hall are really a must in this holy city, and they can be used as a murder weapon like a baguette, and they are the weapons of choice for the thugs in the seventh block to fight, which is comparable to the number one killer in China.
"Don't believe it, boy, the earth is really going to change. It is said that Her Royal Highness and the Council have requested assistance from the other side of the Earth's core, and a group of brave people from afar will join us in fighting against the invading monsters. β
Yuan Di had no interest in distant wars, and after serving Duncan's lameness, he went home and cleaned up his shop.
The three-story shop is not big, but it is not small, and it is much bigger than the small apartment rented in the previous life.
Every time he thinks of this, Yuan Di has to admire the dead ghost father, who has earned such a large family business in the holy city, where every inch of land is valuable, and it is still close to the royal palace and the imperial parliament.
Don't underestimate this dilapidated grocery store, no matter how broken the courtyard next to the Forbidden City is, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
At the same time, at the seventh block station, a small skeleton dressed in cloth and carrying [Guodian 777] walked out of the portal of the station.
He watched as the various underground races outside the inn fell into a stupor.
"Well, this game is really amazing, is the virtual reality online game now so much better than when it first appeared? This modeling, this shadow, tsk, is much stronger than that little tomb in the novice village. β
As the first person in the current level of the game "Undead Alliance", after harvesting the first hidden boss in the whole server, [Guodian 777] has become the first player to successfully step out of the novice village since the game was launched.
Even as a professional gamer and game streamer, he didn't expect a game to be so well-made.
The freewheeling quests, the huge and complex story setting, and the flexible and free fighting style all made it difficult for the retired former world champion to restrain himself.
He opened the task list and found that there were really no hints except for the two main quests of [Destroy Monsters from the Surface] and [Survive], which meant that he had to explore the secrets of the game little by little on this unfamiliar map.
However, as the first player to kill the hidden boss, he has plenty of time, and all other players will have to wait for the 4-hour boss reset time.
After the reset, the boss will turn into a normal monster as a test to get out of the newbie village, and he will not only get the reward of the hidden boss, but also have enough time to familiarize himself with the map.
The background of the game is very simple, there is a war between the races of the earth and the civilization of the earth, the bosses of both sides Hades and the God King have mysteriously disappeared, and players join the underground undead empire as hired heroes to fight, while exploring the truth about the disappearance of the bosses.
[Guodian 777] resolutely chose the skeleton race when creating the character, not for anything else, because other races are too ugly.
So far, the Skeleton Soldier, Slime, and Orc Slave races have been opened.
Orcs are so ugly no matter how they grow, and slimes are unlikely to be good-looking, so it is possible for skeleton soldiers to become lichs in the future and gain flesh to bubble sexy and coquettish dark elf girls.
Out of the post station, [Guodian 777] saw the grocery store open next to it, and walked into this small shop called [Expensive to Death] without too much thought.
As soon as Yuan Di opened the door, he saw a strange customer walk in.
Regular customers have the communication of regular customers, and raw customers have the communication method of raw customers.
Yuan Di didn't rush to solicit business, and after politely saying "Welcome", he stood behind the counter and secretly looked at the customer with a smile.
The weathered coat was slightly shabby, and there were some holes leaking out of the toned body included in it, and although the iron sword at his waist was rusty, the blood stains on it showed that the sword was not an ornament.
[Guodian 777] walked to the front under Yuan Di's scrutiny, and he tightened the rags on his body.
Don't look at this garment that can't even wrap your own skeleton rack is full of holes, but this is the trophy of killing the hidden boss, the blue grade, like the blue sword on his waist, these two pieces of equipment are unique at this stage.
Looking at the "???? above Yuan Di's head "Four question marks, [Guodian 777] knows that this is a boss who is more than 20 levels above himself.
Look at it, it's all the bones polished by the skeletons, and then look at your dark yellow and blackened body, [Guodian] feels more and more that he has deviated from the aesthetics of this game.
"Our store is inexpensive and has a wide variety of products, but what can we do for you from afar?" Yuan Di was no longer silent and spoke.
Poor visitors from afar should be relatively proactive, let them feel respected, and then point out the price advantage of the small store, in order to retain their first customer this month.
And on the opposite side of [Guodian 777] here, only hear the system's task prompt:
γDing! Equivalent exchange:
Shop at the 'Expensive to Die' shop and get in-store items
Reward: +100 Undead Empire Fame System, get ???? to gain the friendship of the Imperial Royal Family]
