When Chen Ye returned to Xijiang Wharf, it was already midnight.

At this time, the crimson moonlight shone quietly, and the entire pedestrian street seemed to be shrouded in a thick blood mist.

...... in the sky

Occasionally, you can see a floating gray mist mass, wandering here, hovering between the two worlds.

"Sure enough, this paradise is not as simple as imagined, and the spirit is very active."

Chen Ye had just returned to the pedestrian street, and he sensed the active spiritual aura nearby, and his eyes moved slightly.

As he passed by the old town, his vision kept looking in, and he found that there was a dull blood light, condensed in the depths, surging silently.

At the same time, Chen Ye also found a noteworthy sign.

Although the pollution is over and the park is back to normal, most of the activity is for the players.

It stands to reason that there should be a lot of aborigines here......

Chen Ye didn't forget that on the night of the night, the pedestrian street was full of tricks.

But since that night, the traffic seems to have retreated from peak to trough, and most of the people who come out are players, or penniless wanderers.

As for those middle-class aborigines, they are rarely encountered.

Along the road shrouded in white fog, Chen Ye crossed the bottom of the bridge on Longhua Avenue, passed through the familiar Xining alleys, and walked all the way along the old street to the gate of Yongan Market.

However, the scene that appeared in front made Chen Ye stunned.

Under the crimson moonlight, the entrance to Yongan Market, which was originally the entrance, turned into a stone wall!

That's right!

Yongan Market is gone!

"What's going on?" Chen Ye's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked around with the pupil of luck.

In this white mist, which symbolizes the number of ordinary, there are occasional gray dots.

But it doesn't mean anything......

Next to the stone wall, it looked like a blocked alley, and even the original sign had disappeared.

Could it be that Yongan Market has really been closed?

"Young man, are you going into the market to buy something?"

Suddenly, a hoarse and low, but ethereal voice that fell in his ears sounded from behind Chen Ye.

Chen Ye turned around abruptly.

I saw that only a dozen meters away from him, a thin old man was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was blindfolded and his head bowed, like a blind man, but his eyes fell on the stall in front of him.

There are all kinds of strange and ancient objects on it, some are pipes, some are rubber bands, and some are the bones of Moriran......

The crimson moonlight shone faintly on the side of his face, as if it had suddenly appeared from the blood mist.

During the whole process, there was not a single movement.

Chen Ye frowned slightly, he remembered that he was on the way here, but he didn't see this place, there was such a stall, and such an old man was sitting.

Unbeknownst to him, he appeared behind him silently.

Meanwhile......

On the old man's head, a simple line of blood-colored text appeared—

【Wandering Merchant】

In four simple words, the identity of this old man was introduced.

"Wandering merchants? Is this also a class of wanderers? Chen Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, his expression became focused.

It's not like a normal homeless person.

[Wandering Merchant] is a second-turn class that combines one turn [Wanderer] and one turn [Merchant].

I am also a [wanderer], although I have reached the third turn, but when I turn around, I need to help each other with the same wanderer, and I will still retain it.

Looking at it with the eyes of luck, the merchant's head had a faint purple qi, and his body was surrounded by Xuanhuang, and a glass star as bright as a star appeared from his head.

"Do you mean...... What special items can you buy from this merchant? ”

Seeing that the aura of no danger appeared, Chen Ye paused for a moment, then stepped forward and asked:

"Old uncle, do you know why Yongan Market is not open?"

The old man sat on the stall, sighed, shook his head, and said:

"What else could it be? Business can't go on! ”

"Why can't you do it?"

"Alas, the food problem is too serious during this time, and most of the people in the market who make money quickly have to sell ingredients, right? But now that all the meat is in trouble, everyone's income is not good, except for food, who will buy those broken things? ”

"So the business can't go on?"

"Yes."

"Then the market won't be open anymore?"

"I don't know ......"

"I don't know what it means?"

"Not knowing means not knowing."

"......" Chen Ye was speechless for a while, dare you aborigines talk like this?

At this time, Chen Ye felt that the old man Erhu had become cute, at least he was talking about human words, these aborigines may have the first few sentences of human words, but they were about to say nonsense in the second sentence.

He changed his mind and asked, "I mean, is there a chance to open the door in the future?" ”

"When the business is good, I can get back to the basics."

"When will that be?"

"Hey, my old man is also a small businessman, where can I figure out what those big bosses think?" The old man sneered, "If you have to say a point in time, maybe when the food recovers, the economy recovers, and everyone is willing to spend money to buy things, then the market will be opened, otherwise will you keep losing money?" ”

"Makes sense...... Chen Ye nodded, "So what are you doing here?" ”

"Set up a stall to make money!"

The old man glared at Chen Ye as if he was looking at a fool, and pointed to all kinds of small objects that were full of paving:

"Don't you see, these are the goods I sell, old man?"

"Why do you choose to sell here?"

"I used to sell at the market, but now that the market is closed, I have to sell at the door."

"Why is it just you here, and the other shops don't set up stalls here?"

"Huh!" The old man seemed to have heard something funny, and let out a sneer, "How can there be so many people who are as miserable as the old man and me, those who can run have already run away, and those who can't run have gone to the hospital, only those who are not afraid of death will come back to this stall!" ”

"You're not afraid of death?"

"Who says you're not afraid?"

"You!"

"Me?"

"You said that you are not afraid of death, so you choose to set up a stall here." Chen Ye suddenly felt that this old man was a little funny, the former sentence said that he was not afraid of death was setting up a stall here, and the latter sentence said that he was afraid of death, is this Schrödinger's ghost who is afraid of death?

The old man sighed and said, "I'm afraid of death, but if I don't do business and don't have rice to support myself, I'm really going to die." ”

Chen Ye fell into deep thought.

According to the old man, he should have been a stall vendor in Yongan Market.

But the Yongan market has had an unsurprising surprise recently!

The market is closed!

The reason is also very simple, there have been double contamination of food and water before.

As a result, the entire structure of the City of Destiny has been violently impacted.

Including the Lin family and the grandmother who sells chestnuts...... As long as there is a powerful trick, almost all of them choose to escape.

But what about the trick that doesn't have the strength?

At present, it can be seen that a large number of treachers have become believers in the Burning Sun Church, living by begging.

There is also a part of the middle class, where did it go?

I have been wandering the streets for the past few days, and I have not seen them.

At this moment, after hearing the information of this [wandering merchant], all those who haven't run away have gone to the hospital?

Because they're contaminated?

Almost all the aborigines in the city are gone, except for the one who ran, all of them are in the hospital?

The hospital...... Can it accommodate so many patients?

Chen Ye asked questions about Yongan Market and where the stalls in it went.

The old man waved his hand again and again, indicating that he didn't know, and finally was asked a little impatiently, glaring at Chen Yedao:

"You're here to make trouble, aren't you? I'm just a flat-headed little person, how can I know so many complicated things? ”

"It's really unlucky, I thought I could pull a customer, but I didn't expect to pull a big grudge over!"

"I wouldn't have talked to you if I had known......"

Chen Ye was amused for a while, and said in his heart that it seems that you pretended to be mysterious and suddenly spoke, right?

Followed by......

His gaze wandered down to the pavement.

Suddenly, a dazzling glazed light appeared in the field of vision, and among the many objects, a dazzling brilliance bloomed.

Chen Ye's heart moved, and his eyes followed the guidance of Liuli and looked at one of the items......

It turned out to be a contract book?

However, the pages were black and life-like, and when you looked at them directly, you felt like you were being sucked in by a whirlpool.

"Old man, how do you sell this thing?" Chen Ye pointed to the contract book.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be quite discerning as a young man!"

The old man swept away the gloomy look on his face and laughed happily:

"It's a contract, but it's not a simple contract!"

"It's a contract to make a deal with the devil!"

"Of course, if it were an ordinary customer, I wouldn't sell such a precious thing. But what about your words...... I can consider selling it to you at an additional price. ”

Chen Ye didn't know what to say for a while, he almost thought that the other party would say that it would be sold at a discount, but it turned out to be sold at a higher price, what does this mean?

At this moment, the contract book differentiated into a glass light, which was actually connected to Chen Ye's mouthparts.

His mind moved, and he realized that this contract containing the demonic aura was likely to be the promotion material that the [Devil Chef] needed in the future.

Moreover, it is possible to fuse directly!

If you're lucky, you might even unlock new traits!

Chen Ye nodded and said, "I can buy it, but I hope you can give a reasonable price." ”

"One gold coin, two hundred silver coins, one hundred copper coins." The old man said, "This is the most reasonable price, and there is nothing more reasonable than this." ”

This contract, since it contains the characteristics of [contract], is related to some kind of transaction.

As the most high-quality special currency for trading, gold coins can even generate some kind of contract with the existence of the other world, so it is most suitable to use it as a price to exchange for [contract].

Two hundred silver coins, the demonic properties contained in the trade contract itself.

The remaining 100,000 copper coins are determined according to the material of the contract and the value of the item itself.

So.

In order to trade this contract, three different currencies are required, and at least one gold coin is required.

At present, Chen Ye has thirty-eight gold coins on his body, and since the Yongan market has not been opened for the time being, the other thirty gold coins cannot be used, and the number of remaining gold coins that can be moved has suddenly become rich.

The point is, there are so many silver coins!

You'll need 200 silver coins!

But Chen Ye only had one hundred and sixty-six silver coins now, but the number of silver coins was not enough.

Chen Ye paused, considering that the [Wandering Merchant] had a very significant characteristic, that is, he was uncertain.

Maybe if you set up a stall here today, you won't know where you're going tomorrow.

If you miss today, you may not have this store tomorrow!

You can't wait until you really have enough two hundred silver coins to trade in vain, right?

Chen Ye opened his mouth and asked, "What if I pay two gold coins?" ”

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and even his attitude became much better, and he hurriedly said:

"Two gold coins, fifty silver coins, and one hundred and fifty thousand copper coins."

"Of course, you can also pay a hundred silver coins and a hundred thousand copper coins, but that's not the most reasonable price."

"If you can give three gold coins, then you can take this contract directly!"

Three gold coins...... Yes, yes, yes...... But if you really make such a deal, it will be a pure injustice!

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Then sell it for two gold coins, fifty silver coins, and one hundred hundred thousand copper coins." ”

"Okay."

The old man finally took out the posture that a businessman should have, hurriedly packed the contract, showed a flattering smile, and handed the contract to Chen Ye with both hands.

After the payment was completed, Chen Ye's personal assets became "36 gold coins, 116 silver coins 1019015 copper coins".

That's when it happened.

A series of blood-colored words appeared in front of Chen Ye-

[Detection: You have new traits to fuse!] 】

【Fusion! 】

[You have unlocked a new trait - Demon Pact!] 】

[Demonic Contract: When the other party's soul is sincerely betrayed to you, you can sign this contract.] (As the initiator of the demonic contract, no matter what the terms are, they will be approved, and those who violate the contract will be scorched by the soul!) ）】

…………

At this time, in Chen Ye's [Devil Chef] interface, a fifth feature appeared!

However......

This trait doesn't seem to have anything to do with cooking, but it's a bit abrupt to become the fifth trait......

"[Demon Contract], this should be a sequence of development towards the moon, under normal circumstances, [Demon Chef] should not be able to fuse......"

Chen Ye frowned, and according to his previous strategies, he noticed something unusual.

After all, the promotion path of the demon is also different.

As a [Devil Chef], it is most reasonable to have a unique mouthpart structure and generally evolve in the direction of 'monsters'.

However, [Demon Pact] is a trait that belongs to the moon sequence, and the traits are mostly biased towards deception, betrayal, illusion, and chaos......

If you sign a contract, you need to use the [Moon] path and the characteristics related to psychedelic spiritual power to unlock the [Demon Contract].

Generally, there are only three turns: [Demon Fraudster] and [Demon Arbiter]...... This is the type of class related to 'contract' that unlocks this trait.

But strangely......

Chen Ye is currently still a second-turn [Devil Chef], and the sequence he takes is basically a promotion path that is relatively far away from the [Moon] sequence.

Then why did you directly unlock the fifth trait of [Demon Contract]?

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Ye suddenly realized that he understood the reason!

"That's right!"

"The medium needed for the demon contract is actually spiritual power!"

"If the contractor violates the above terms, then he will be scorched by the soul!"

"...... in general"

"If it's a normal second-turn [Devil Chef], there's no way to unlock the ability of the spirit system."

"Because the spiritual system is generally related to [Sun] and [Moon], if you absorb [Moon], then there is a high probability that the demon will develop towards the moon sequence and will not evolve into a chef."

"According to the principle of conflict between [Demon] and [Burning Sun], the two generally do not coexist, so under normal circumstances, it is difficult for [Demon] to directly absorb this contract."

"But my spiritual power does not come from either of the [Sun] or the [Moon], but from the spiritual power!"

"This also makes my [Devil Chef] completely able to absorb this [Demon Contract] before it involves the characteristics of [Moon]......"

"It is unknown what kind of sequence will develop in the future......

Chen Ye couldn't help but be stunned in place, figured out the reason, and his face suddenly became strange.

At this moment, his [Devil Chef] has only absorbed five characteristic items.

If you want to advance to the third turn, then there are three directions of characteristic items, you can choose from!

In this way, does he have a chance to absorb [Moon] and [Monster] at the same time?

Didn't he just advance to the third turn, he had the characteristics of at least four sequences, and became a half-step four-turn?

What kind of thing is going to come out?

Chen Ye suddenly felt that this game had become interesting......

Before touching the [Moon], pass the spiritual power of the [Soul Crosser] sequence in advance, and successfully fuse the characteristics of the [Demon Contract]......

This means that his [Demon] sequence may be able to break through in an unprecedented direction!

It is very likely to raise a "demon" that has never appeared in the game of the strange era!

What kind of professions will be unlocked......

So.

Only after you have gathered enough materials for the next two or three promotions to the third rank of [Demon] can you know the result!

The merchant has already left.

According to him, only by constantly wandering can you find better customers.

It is often necessary to travel from one place to another in the form of mobile paving in order to get lucky.

Therefore, after completing the transaction with Chen Ye, the old man's front foot butt was not yet hot, and the back foot was already heading for the future.

Of course......

There was only this contract on the stall, which was useful to Chen Ye, and the other items were not only expensive, but also required to pay gold coins, so they were temporarily useless to buy.

Therefore, Chen Ye did not waste the money in his hands.

Since this month's ranking is related to the rise of assets, there may be some troubles that need to be settled with money in the future.

Even if the assets on your body are already a lot compared to ordinary players, you can't use them indiscriminately.

Rational use of every resource, in order to roll a snowball!

Chen Ye soon returned to the "Integrity Restaurant".

That's when ......

He suddenly found that inside the restaurant, a hazy blood-colored corridor appeared!

It's like there's a figure moving inside!

Meanwhile......

A blood-colored text suddenly appeared above the head of the Shadow Wheel Corridor—

[Stealing the cat demon! 】
