Chapter 319: Once you choose, there is no turning back! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
So the question is, where to find intelligence?
This conundrum is a big headache for the Chosen One.
Even if he asked the empty boy, he said that he didn't know, he had only met the boss once.
I didn't say hello either, and I didn't even know what the boss was.
This sentence can be analyzed, he doesn't even know if the boss is a human being.
Everyone knows that there is a grocery store in this area, but no one knows the owner of the grocery store.
In the spirit of the psychology that more is better than less, no one wants to inquire about this news.
After all, there is a grocery store here, which is good for their ghost cultivation.
If the boss is angered and the boss closes the grocery store, then the nearby ghost repairs will be unlucky.
When Rahman heard this, he remembered a rule.
[Rule 9: Remember, cats are two-legged people, and humans are four-legged cats.] 】
"Black hats? Could it be that the boss is a black cat? ”
Or if you find the black cat, you can find the boss?
Soon, Rahman dismissed this idea of his own.
Because his understanding of the rules just now is too shallow, he can't even say that he understands, it's just a blind guess.
He pondered it carefully, probably to find the cat that walked on two legs, or the man who walked on four legs.
Maybe this 'person' is the owner of the grocery store, and even if this person is not the boss, he knows some news about the grocery store.
Rahman himself was currying favor with the empty son, and the empty boy didn't eat people, so the two chatted.
He asked the Empty Boy if he had ever seen a cat walking on two legs, or a man walking on four legs in the area.
Not to mention, the Void Boy provided a useful piece of information.
In this area, there is only [Ghost Cultivation], but there are also [Demon Cultivation] in distant areas.
Demon cultivation is basically carnivorous weirdness, that is, the weirdness of all kinds of animal essences.
If Rahman is looking for a two-legged cat, he can go to the area of the demon cultivator to look for it.
Here, if you have a high friendship with the empty child, you can get his hints.
Many demon cultivators retain the characteristics of animals and love to eat carrion, and Rahman has a slight smell of carrion, but not many.
Hearing this, Rahman was shocked.
Am I a dead man? Or do I have no heart and am dying?
No wonder Rule 1 reminds me to hurry up and find my heart.
Here, in fact, only a few of the Chosen One have triggered this prompt.
The empty boy does not have Zhang Yangqing, but Zhang Yangqing can smell it and distinguish it.
This is also a special advantage of the home field.
Rahman panicked and asked him if he had any way to get to the area where the demon cultivator was.
After all, the rules say so, you can't sit back and wait here, right?
The Empty Boy shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help it.
Ghost cultivators and demon cultivators generally don't have much contact, and they both reject each other's breath.
The Void Boy didn't even know where that place was, and it was impossible to help the Chosen One find the heart.
And then there is important information, and the empty boy mentioned by the way [There seems to be a ghost cultivator in our graveyard who has a connection with a demon cultivator, if you want to get any clues, send the gold-edged candle over tomorrow, and I will introduce you to it, and the running fee will not be less for you].
When Rahman heard this, he felt that he had done the right thing to lick the dog this time.
It seems that as long as the licking is good, mission intelligence is indispensable.
However, the running fee is an additional income, and Rahman naturally can't ask for it.
He didn't dare to violate the hard rules of the strange world.
In fact, Zhang Yangqing's idea is even more thorough, since the empty boy mentioned the running fee, it proves that the graveyard where he is located is very dangerous.
He may not harm the Chosen One, but that doesn't mean the other weirdness there won't.
In the grocery store, before promising to deliver something to the empty boy, Rahman said to him, "Can you give me your eyes, or I will be given by someone else tomorrow before I find you."
The sentence was not finished, but it was already very euphemistic.
The place I'm going to tomorrow is a graveyard.
People don't know me, they don't know me.
Although most ghost cultivators don't eat people, that's the majority.
What if I memorize an idea, and I run into those who can eat people?
And that's what the rules tell me, you can't hit me, can you?
In fact, when he said this, Rahman had no bottom in his heart, and finally let the empty boy have a good impression of him, and he wasted all his favorability in one sentence, which was not good.
What's more, if the Empty Boy is not the key person and feels that he has offended him, it will be troublesome.
The empty boy has so many people that even the red-clothed guest just now didn't dare to mess with him.
Pull any one out, Rahman can't beat it.
Just when Rahman was scared, the Empty Boy patted himself on the head and said, "Ouch, look at my memory, I almost forgot about it." ”
As he spoke, a frightening scene appeared.
I saw that the empty boy pulled back the hair in front of his bangs, and four eyes appeared on his forehead.
Looks like a multi-eyed ghost.
Because the empty boy cares about the image, he usually covers it with his hair.
As he spoke, he took off one of his eyeballs and handed it to Rahman.
It was a token for Rahman, and if there was something strange in the graveyard that stopped him, he could take the token and let the stranger leave.
Here the empty boy reminds him that only the people in his grave will give him face, not elsewhere.
If Rahman had shown his eyes to the strangeness of the hostile graveyard, he would have been killed.
Rahman promised himself that he would remember, and then gratefully followed his eyes, and finally completed the task.
After all, this is the world of strange talks, and there are many terrifying things about the strange stories he has been exposed to before.
For Rahman, eyeballs in his hands are commonplace.
It's just a little inappropriate for some first-time Chosen One.
After getting the eyeballs, then the Empty Boy is the one who can be trusted by the Chosen One, and he has also completed the hints on the rules.
Rahman promised to send him over, and asked what was the condition of the mark on his hand.
The Empty Boy glanced at it and could see that he had been flagged.
Don't look at his strength, it's just weaker in the red clothes, much stronger than other clothes.
The Void Boy confirms that what the three guests say is not a lie, and Rahman is targeted by the green-clad ghost with a cross scratch on his face.
Here, the Void Boy has a high status and will definitely not stay to help Rahman.
And the two don't have much friendship, just the clerk and the customer.
After explaining, the empty boy walked out of the grocery store and got into a sedan chair, and the group left here in a big way.
Anyway, the address and time have already been agreed, and Rahman will send it over in person when the time comes.
In order to show his friendliness, Rahman even sent the empty boy to the sedan chair, and then helped him close the door curtain, and finally watched the empty boy leave.
This practice really makes the empty boy who loves vanity have a better impression of him.
Maybe the transcendent disdain to do such a thing, and lose their identity.
But for the ordinary Chosen One, I wish there were more such opportunities.
Back at his grocery store, Rahman's face began to darken.
"It seems that in order to escape this fate, I will have to go to the place where the three guests are before four o'clock, and I will only survive by using them to slaughter the guests with the cross scratch."
Because the three guests said they would leave at four o'clock, it had to be resolved by four o'clock.
According to the address given by the empty boy, the grave where he is located is far away, and he may be killed halfway to ask for help.
The address given by the three guests was not far away, and since they would not harm themselves, they could only beg them.
And the next rules haven't come up yet, and you need to stay in the grocery store again.
The period of temporary absence from the shop will definitely be closed, and Rahman's turnover will decrease.
If that guy doesn't get rid of him, Rahman will have endless troubles.
Thinking of this, Rahman felt that it was no longer ado, and he had props for self-defense, that is, candles, bone knives, and the like.
When he was ready, he closed the door, took the key and ran out.
Because there is a mark on his body, that guy will definitely find it!
After the time came to three o'clock, the playing style of the Chosen ones began to change.
The Chosen One of the Maple Leaf Country offended many guests dressed in black, gray, and white, but he did not offend the guest in Tsing Yi who was scratched by the cross.
Because he didn't sell the Blood Bone Jade to him at all, he couldn't repair his injuries, so he wouldn't worry about the Chosen One of the Maple Leaf Country.
Of course, he also had a lot of trouble, and he also offended other customers when selling goods.
That is, those black, gray, and white guests, these guests will come to the shop of the Chosen One of the Maple Leaf Country to cause trouble after the empty boy leaves.
Will do some tricks near the door of the grocery store to make his business worse.
At this time, the Chosen One of the Maple Leaf Country, he can summon the woman in yellow to solve the trouble.
The strange level of the woman in yellow just suppressed these three types of guests, so the difficulty of this level was easier than Rahman's.
Rahmana was almost killed, and ran all the way through the woods to avoid the danger.
This surprised the outside expert group.
Originally, I thought that the Chosen One of the Maple Leaf Country was going to die, but who knew that it would be so easy.
Isn't he stupid, he's always been so planned?
It is better to offend a weak guest than a strong guest.
As long as you are clear about the rules of the grocery store and skillfully resolve the conflict, then you can find a solution.
This way of passing the test made the expert group not know whether he designed it this way or by chance.
In fact, it is normal for the expert group not to understand, after all, only the chosen ones who go in can see some special details.
Or rather, to be able to appreciate some subtle atmosphere.
At the end of the day, before the danger of 'delay' erupts, the world of weirdness will give the Chosen a chance to deal with it.
Whether the Chosen One can grasp the plan and deal with it depends on the Chosen One's own ability.
Between three and four, the problems accumulated by the Chosen began to erupt.
The various wonderful operations of the Chosen One made the audience scream.
Every time the Chosen One survives in adversity, they repeatedly dodge through wits when facing the pursuit of strange guests, and turn the strange guests around, making the audience sigh.
The loss is that these chosen ones go up, and it will be cold if they go up for themselves.
However, there is no shortage of the chosen ones who make mistakes in operation, and they are resentful in the field on the spot.
In this level, the big screen of many Chosen ones is full of people, and the barrage is full of people.
Only Zhang Yangqing is a cold group here.
I want to ask how to solve this level of the Dragon Kingdom Heavenly Master?
What else is there to solve, he is almost asleep.
No one dared to mess with him, and he didn't offend any of his guests.
The slightly threatening guests have been overtaken in advance.
In other words, in this area, the most dangerous person is Zhang Yangqing himself.
So at this stage of 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock.
The other Chosen ones are all closing the door to deal with the problem, and Zhang Yangqing also has a lot of customers who buy things.
His turnover has surpassed that of the other Chosen One by a lot.
It was four o'clock in the evening, just when the other Chosen ones had settled their troubles and reopened.
Outside the gate, there was the sound of birds and beasts flapping their wings.
A pigeon flew into the grocery store with a piece of paper in its mouth.
The pigeon didn't care where the Chosen One was, but after delivering the paper to the counter, he flapped his wings and left the grocery store.
Zhang Yangqing himself was at the counter, and he picked up the paper and looked at it, which was the next rule.
Grocery Store Rules:
[Rule 12: When you go out, don't expose your body to the sun for a long time, sunlight can make you die quickly.] 】
[Rule 13: The store is open from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., at other times, please do not open the door to customers, otherwise the owner will be angry.] 】
[Rule 14: If you have any trouble, you can go to the river and find an old blind man who is fishing, and if he is in a good mood, he will answer some of your questions.] 】
Rule 15: Just because you don't feel hungry doesn't mean you don't need to eat. 】
[Rule 16: Remember, the money you get in the grocery store can only be used in the ghost market, and you can't be exposed to normal people, otherwise 'they' will find you.] 】
[Rule 17: Never eat people, once you eat people, you can't turn back.] 】
[Rule 18: When you can't come back to visit the store at night, you can hang the black wooden sword in front of the door, be careful, don't hang it wrong.] 】
Seeing these rules, the Chosen ones all swallowed subconsciously.
This Rule 15 and Rule 17 are simply not too intimidating.
"What does this mean? I'm a normal person, why should I eat people? ”
The Chosen One who entered for the first time could not understand this rule for the time being.
But the old fritters know that there are some strange things about the world, and you can't live if you don't eat them.
Rahman looked at the rules and pondered for a long time, and had a bad premonition, because rule 17 only said that there was no turning back after eating people, but it did not mean that you would die after eating people.
This is Rahman's deeper understanding.
Is there anything going to happen after cannibalism?
However, as a normal human mind, he still didn't want to think about this ending.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, what Chosen One would do such a thing?
The strange world will definitely give the Chosen one a choice, but it depends on whether the Chosen One can find a better way to get through.
Rahman felt that the old blind man mentioned in Rule 14 must be the most important thing.
It's also a special quest that must be found tomorrow.
But there are a few huge problems here, first of all, I got a map of the area.
Otherwise, how would Rahman know where there is a river nearby?
And there may be more than one river, and how to find the old blind man must also need intelligence.
In this way, Rahman, the graveyard of the Empty Son, must go.
Secondly, the premise of finding the old blind man is to make him happy.
The second half of the rule is that if he is not happy, he will not answer the question of the Chosen One.
How can you make him happy, you can't ask him face to face, right?
Whether to bring him some gifts or help him with his mission is also unknown.
Next up are the two keywords of ghost city and black wooden sword.
Here Rahman clearly judged that the turnover was linked to the ghost market.
Because the coins here are special coins and can only be used in ghost markets.
Then there must be something in the ghost market that can increase its 'combat power', or 'defense'.
When the time comes, you will definitely have to spend money to buy it, and naturally the more money you get, the better.
After all, this can be combined with the information of the Void Child, and the Chosen One needs to go to the area where the demon cultivator is located to find the 'two-legged cat' or 'four-legged man' mentioned in Rule 9, and they must be prepared.
If you go without preparing anything, isn't that looking for death?
As long as the rules and intelligence appeared, Rahman had a way to connect them to form a main line.
The settlement rules have not yet been released, but the main line at this stage is very clear, that is, to find the heart or the grocery store owner.
It's just that the main line passes through many dangerous areas, and what kind of trouble it will encounter depends on how the Chosen One deals with it.
Knowing how to pass the test is not the same thing as being able to pass it.
That's why the people who come in are basically stronger in mind and body.
Even if you are full of sassy operations and understand everything, but your body can't keep up with your brain, and you can't pass the test without that ability.
As for the black wooden sword, Rahman also found it in the back warehouse in advance.
Rahman played with it for a while, but he didn't understand it and didn't continue.
After Zhang Yangqing saw it, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"It's strange, although the peach wood sword is not pink, it won't be so dark after a long time."
Zhang Yangqing complained in his heart.
For this sword is indeed made of mahogany, and it is similar to the ones next to the jar.
But why is it so dark, this Zhang Yangqing can't understand.
Maybe the boss here made it in a special way?
It can't be too much tan and get darker.
After all, Zhang Yangqing only understands the things of the Daomen, so that he can't even understand the props of demon cultivation and ghost cultivation.
But the core of the props is usage, and the normal peachwood sword is the nemesis of ghost cultivation, but it can't deal with demon cultivation.
This black peachwood sword exuded an aura of admonishing ghost cultivators, but it didn't make ghost cultivators afraid.
If you hang it at the door, you are indeed telling the ghost cultivators that they will not be open today, and they will not offend the ghost cultivators.
Next, Zhang Yangqing continued to analyze the rules.
In fact, most of Rahman guessed correctly, but Zhang Yangqing was able to judge some rules through cognition without intelligence.
Zhang Yangqing can judge from Rule 12 and Rule 17 that his body may be an incomplete zombie.
Belong to the humans who have not yet died, the living dead who are being zombified.
In fact, the cultivators of the Dragon Kingdom knew it by taking a closer look at the rules.
Zombies can't bask in the sun and have the desire to eat people.
Isn't that just the manifestation of zombies?
If you can't find your heart within the allotted time, you'll be a zombie completely.
That's the normal way of playing.
Thinking of this, another extreme style of play appeared in Zhang Yangqing's mind.
The so-called extreme, that must be abnormal, the rules don't say that zombies will die, so find a way to change quickly.
Not only to change, but also to find ways to keep evolving.
After turning into a zombie, as long as it is not a fatal injury, it basically does not feel anything, and the body will become extremely powerful.
But after the change, the problem comes, the restrictions of zombies are very large, and they can't go out at all during the day, and for some demon cultivators, it's even more delicious.
Without the replenishment of energy, zombies are basically dying.
Ordinary human bodies can eat dishes, zombie food can only be people.
That's why Rule 17 is so suggestive.
Once you become a zombie, there's really no going back.
The other Chosen ones will gather intel to determine this in the next process.
In their eyes, the rules that followed were all mysteries.
But Zhang Yangqing didn't use intelligence at all, and these rules were like an open-book exam, directly in front of him.
Just as the Chosen One walked to the warehouse to inspect the black wooden sword, there was a violent thud from the wind chimes at the gate.
If a guest comes, Rahman is naturally ready to go out to receive him, after all, he has lost a lot of business during the time he has been closed.
But when he showed up at the grocery store with a candlestick, he found that the candle on the counter had been extinguished.
The candlestick in his hand suddenly went out after a gust of wind.
And he didn't know when there was already a male guest in red standing beside him.
The man in red had a long tongue and was very cold.
Don't ask Rahman why he knows, because the tongue is already on his face!
At this moment, Rahman was terrified and speechless at the same time.
If the female guest does this, he can bear it, what do you have to lick me for!
What strange constitution have I awakened this one?
