Chapter 21: Zhao Hongying's Crisis
After the hustle and bustle of the day, people who have worked all day are returning to their homes and starting to enjoy their own lives. Most of the shops on the street are closed, and even the bustling shopping street is deserted. But there is only one type of shop that is starting to heat up in front of it, and that is the restaurant.
Since ancient times, people have regarded food as the sky, and it is the truth no matter what world it is. As soon as the sky was getting dark, the parking spaces were parked in front of the restaurants of all sizes in the county, and the people inside were boiling and the smell of alcohol was smoking.
The business in the small shop is also good today, the flow of people is continuous, and the customers are table after table, so Shen Mu is a little busy and his feet don't touch the ground. After a whole meal, my legs were sore and sweaty. This is also one of the reasons why Shen Mu plans to find another way to make money. Being a waiter is so busy, it takes up a lot of time, and the money you earn is really too little.
Just like today, normally the restaurant would close after 9 p.m. As a result, a few tables of guests were drinking happily, and the time was delayed again and again, and before I knew it, it was almost eleven o'clock. There is no reason to open a restaurant to do business, so Shen Mu can only accompany him. The only thing to be happy about is that after a full day of non-stop practice, his spell shield has been unleashed 99 times, and he is only one time away from activating the 'True Word Shield'.
However, at this time, his mana had been completely depleted, and in order to complete this last time, he had to recover the magic element first. And in the absence of meditation recovery, the recovery of the magic element is very slow. If you wait like this any longer, it is estimated that there will be no drama today.
Shen Mu looked at the table of guests who were still drinking a little anxiously, and could only sigh quietly, and then honestly sat at the counter boringly flipping through the newspaper, trying to find out if there was any more suitable job information.
The economic level of small counties is not high, and the wages and benefits will naturally not be high. Besides, he is still a student, so he can only find a part-time job, so there is even less room for choice. I finally found a few people with good salaries, but they either asked for the spell department or the martial arts department, and he had no chance at all as a priest of the auxiliary department.
In this regard, Shen Mu could only once again express his speechlessness at the pastor's bad situation.
Whether a profession is strong or not depends not on how strong a single skill is, but on whether it has a complete promotion system, whether it has a clear way of fighting, and whether it has a sufficient strength of magical skills.
Shen Mu now has a complete priest professional skill tree, but this does not mean that he is very clear about his future path. He hadn't thought about what form of priest he would be promoted to next. Is it the Shadow Priest, or the God of War Dragon Pastor, or the Ninety-Four Visceral Priest? Although this question is still a little far away for him, he can't help but think about the choice in advance!
A sudden quarrel interrupted Shen Mu's thoughts, and when he raised his head and took a look, he couldn't help but have his head big. It turned out that the remaining guests at the table didn't know what was going on, and they actually quarreled and drunk, and the situation deteriorated rapidly in a short period of time, and they started to move directly without arguing for two sentences.
It's not like you're drunk and crazy on earth, everyone in this world knows magic and martial arts, and half of the store was destroyed in an instant. The boss and Shen Mu hurriedly ran over to persuade the fight, and at the same time called the police as quickly as possible. It's not okay if you don't call the police, not to mention that the social security management is very strict nowadays, that is, if the ruined store is not called to the police, who will pay for it?
But in this way, Shen Mu was unlucky, he stayed up for most of the night without saying anything, and he had to go to the police station to make a record, and when he came out of the police station, it was already more than 2 o'clock in the second half of the night. Luckily, tomorrow is the weekend and I don't have to go to class, otherwise I really wouldn't have to sleep tonight.
Yawning all the way home, Shen Mu couldn't have been more depressed in his heart. Because the police station is very far away from their home, there are no buses at this point for a long time, so he can only walk back. Don't mention being tired, I don't know what time it will be when I get home!
The only good news is that after resting at the police station for half a day, the 100 defensive spells have finally been completed, and he has also successfully activated the skill of the 'Truth Word Shield'. Speaking of which, he can only be considered a true pastor at this time.
It wasn't a good night tonight, the clouds obscured the moonlight, and the darkness seemed to be covered by a veil. It's even worse when you're out of town. There are no street lights outside the city, and you can only walk by that little bit of faint starlight, not to mention that you can't see your five fingers as exaggerated, but it's not much worse.
In order to save a little time, Shen Mu decided to take a shortcut and crossed over from an unfinished building area on the edge of the ring city.
Speaking of this unfinished building area, it has been in Xingyuan County for some years. Initially, a developer in the province wanted to build a high-end residential complex here. As a result, the developer died in an accident halfway through the construction, and no one took over when his family tried to sell it several times, and in the end it could only rot here.
Because the location is a bit remote and barren all year round, few people come here. In the past, some children would come to play, and Wu Hao also brought Yang Xiaoyao to play when he was a child, but later more than a dozen children's bodies were found here in a row, but the murderer was never caught. From now on, no one will come here to play, and even if you pass by during the day, you basically walk around.
Shen Mu didn't care about this, and after coming in over the wall, he swaggered over. And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting from the front, and he trembled with fright, and hurriedly hid in the grass next to him.
The community has been abandoned for many years, and the weeds are nearly one meter high. Shen Mu carefully hid inside, his eyes vigilantly looking in the direction where the sound of the fight came from. Unfortunately, it was so dark that there was no light at all, and I couldn't see anything.
Curiosity has been one of the greatest sins of mankind since ancient times. Countless historical experiences have proven countless times that too much curiosity often leads to disaster. As the saying goes, curiosity can kill a cat, even a cat with nine lives, let alone a person with only one life. Therefore, Shen Mu wisely restrained his curiosity and prepared to retreat the same way while no one had discovered him. He was a little priest, but he didn't have the heart to wade into any troubled waters.
However, he had only just taken two steps back when he heard a sneer from in front of him:
"Zhao Hongying, if you obediently hand over the things, I may be able to spare your life, hum...... Don't force me to destroy the flowers!"
Zhao Hongying!
Which Zhao Hongying?
Shen Mu stopped abruptly, his gaze turned uncertainly, and after thinking about it carefully, he turned back again. He was a little unsure now whether the Zhao Hongying that person was talking about was Zhao Hongying from the third middle school, and there were billions of people on Xingyuan Star, and there were people with the same name and surname. Could it be that it was really that coincidental?
If it was a stranger, Shen Mu would definitely not bother to pay attention to it, but if that person was really Zhao Hongying, he couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it. Not to mention that Wu Shengnan has a very good relationship with Zhao Hongying, even Zhao Hongying also takes very good care of him, if she is really in danger......
Anyway, let's go check it out first. If you can help, you can help, and if you can't help, you can't help.
Carefully lurking in the grass, taking advantage of the darkness and the blockage of the floor, Shen Mu approached that side little by little. Hiding behind a floor, he cautiously poked his head out, and saw that there were two figures fighting fiercely in the open space in front of him, and the fight was inextricable.
One of the men, emaciated, wielded two scimitars glowing green in the night. The movements are extremely agile, and the moves are strange and ferocious, revealing a viciousness, and it seems that he should be an assassin.
The other was a tall girl, with long hair scattered around her shawl. Covered with a red battle armor, he held a sword more than two meters long. Needless to say, just looking at this knife, Shen Mu knew that this girl must be Zhao Hongying.
Why is she here? And got into a fight?
The assassin on the other side is definitely a difficult character, and judging by his moves, he is a dead hand!
It's hard to do now!
