Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 35: Shadow Mountain, Shadow Power List
Ban Yiluo raised his head and glanced at Tang Zheng.
That one look immediately stopped Tang Zheng from laughing.
Although Tang Zheng had been bickering with the old man when he first met Ban Yilou, the old man never acted like a three-star warrior in front of him...
However, Ban Yiluo's glance was filled with a hint of murderous intent.
"Yesterday, someone tried to assassinate me, but I killed him instead. This thing fell from her body." Tang Zheng simply recounted the assassination attempt last night.
"I can forge any nameplate or token here, but I won't forge even one of these shadow tokens even if I have a hundred lives!" Ban Yilou threw the token back to Tang Zheng, "Little guy, I just said something that shouldn't have been said... Throw it away and stay away from them."
Tang Zheng was confused by what he said: "What shadow token? Who should I stay away from?"
Ban Yiluo took out a book from under the counter and threw it to Tang Zheng.
The book was still very new, with five large characters printed on it in pure purple gold - The Star Power List.
Tang Zheng flipped over...
Anyway, they were all names he didn't recognize and didn't mean much.
However, before he came to Jubao Pavilion for the first time, he had heard Tang Boyuan mention the Star Power List that was published once a year by the Purple Gold City.
The Heavenly Star Ranking, the Earthly Star Ranking, and the Human Star Ranking record a total of 11,100 names of powerful people, and are updated every year!
Jubao Pavilion is one of the industries in the Purple Gold City. It is not surprising that it has the latest Star Power List. However, why would the old man show him the Star Power List?
"Those who make it onto the Star Power List can bring great reputation and influence to their sects and families. In our Purple Gold City, the most important thing every year is the update of the Star Power List..." Ban Yilou's gaze turned to the dagger-shaped one-star token in Tang Zheng's hand, "However, alongside the Star Power List, there is another world-recognized power list, and that is... the Shadow Power List!"
"Oh?" Tang Zheng subconsciously looked at the token in his hand that still smelled of blood.
Ban Yilou spoke slowly, as if he was afraid that Tang Zheng might miss a word, "The Star Power Ranking looks at a person's qualifications and strength, but... the Shadow Power Ranking doesn't look at strength, only heads!"
Tang Zheng took a deep breath.
In the previous life of the game, there was only one official "God List", and the players on the list were basically all RMB warriors equipped with top-level equipment.
Only on a very small game forum, Tang Zheng had seen a post where someone had made a ranking of top assassins, and his ID was at the top of that list!
"We don't care about strength, we only care about heads. Is there any problem?" Tang Zheng asked.
"No problem, absolutely no problem." Ban Yilou shook his head. "The Star Power List of Purple Gold City and the Shadow Power List of Shadow Mountain, one bright and one dark, are both considered the most formal rankings in the Star Continent. However, the Shadow Power List has an additional requirement, that is, if you want to be on the list, you must first enter Shadow Mountain."
It was because of this rule that Ban Yiluo reminded Tang Zheng to stay away from them.
Because the Yingshan system is a system that the Purple Gold City has not yet fully researched!
The core of the Shadow Mountain system is the "Shadow King Token", which is the dagger-shaped token that Tang Zheng obtained from the assassin last night. A Shadow King Token engraved with stars is said to be able to be exchanged for anything of equal value. For example, a one-star Shadow King Token can be exchanged for one thousand Liuyin Tongbao, or a beautiful woman with some looks, a one-star monster, a single martial arts book, a one-star weapon, or even the life of a one-star warrior!
Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with these.
The real problem is that once you join the Yingshan system, you will get a free Yingwang Order of the same star. You will get one free when you advance again, and one free when you advance again. You will get one free every time you advance...
Everyone is free...
Various free gifts...
Ban Yilou got a headache when he thought of Yingshan, and he didn't say much to Tang Zheng: "If you don't join Yingshan, the Shadow King Order is useless. You should throw it away as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
Tang Zheng casually threw the token into his pocket: "It doesn't matter, I just asked casually."
What he was thinking about was already another question...
If Ban Yilou hadn't told him about the Shadow Powerful List, he really wouldn't have been able to figure out the origins of the female assassin yesterday. However, now that he had sorted out the clues, he had figured it all out.
The origin of the assassin last night was correct, she was sent by the Lan family!
It now seems that only a small group of people in Yinlan Villa know his true strength, and most people are misled by the lies of this small group for some reasons, and have been holding the Star Appraisal Plate to look for a warrior above two stars.
In other words, at present, it is that small group of people who want to kill him secretly!
"There are only two questions now." Tang Zheng thought silently, "How did they know I was in Tangjiabao? And, who is the specific person from Yinlan Villa among that small group of people? If we can find them and kill them, we can eliminate the trouble forever..."
It was obvious that this small group of people found out Tang Zheng's exact location through some means. They did not inform Yinlan Villa, nor did they come there themselves. Instead, they adopted a pattern that Tang Zheng was very familiar with - hiring someone to kill!
It was normal that none of the Tang Family Castle disciples knew the assassin, because the assassin was hired from the Shadow Powerful List and was not from Wulong Town at all!
"What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Ban Yilou finished repairing the bracelet and saw Tang Zheng still hanging around the store.
"Asking about the token is just a by-product. I came here mainly to take a look at the martial arts and weapons." Tang Zheng put the doubts aside for the time being and answered Ban Yiluo casually.
"All the martial arts are on the second row of shelves, and all the weapons are on the innermost wall." Ban Yiluo pointed out the location.
"I don't want those... Didn't they say that Jubao Pavilion also has a cabinet?" Tang Zheng not only wanted to buy martial arts and weapons, but also the purple gold flower water that could warm the meridians, and he also wanted to get it in the cabinet of Zijin Pavilion.
"Cabinet?" Ban Yilou curled his lips at him. "You need a purple gold order to enter the cabinet."
"How much is the Purple Gold Order?" Tang Zheng asked.
"It's free." Ban Yilou bit his tongue, almost being tricked by him. "The Purple Gold Token itself is free, but only those who have traded more than 1,000 taels of purple gold in the Treasure Pavilion can enter."
"Then the transaction of my identity badge..."
"That can be counted! However, the transaction you agreed to is only five hundred taels of purple gold, which is not enough." As soon as Ban Yilou mentioned money, he began to show his true businessman nature.
As long as the business contract is signed, the transaction will take effect.
Anyway, even if the other party breaks the contract, the deposit will not be refunded, unless Jubao Pavilion fails to do what is required by the business contract, then they will refund the deposit double.
"You can't calculate it like that. My five hundred taels of purple gold are all pure gold!" Tang Zheng began to bargain.
"The five hundred taels written on the business contract are five hundred taels. They only care about the number, not the quality." Ban Yilou did not give in at all.
"Converted into purple gold coins, it would be seven hundred and fifty taels!"
"No! Besides, even if we count this, it's still not enough for one thousand taels..."
"It's just a difference of 250 yuan, can't you be a little flexible?"
"Two hundred and fifty... that's all?" Ban Yilou slammed the table and glared, "Two hundred and fifty taels of purple gold Tongbao, can buy ten shops like Jubao Pavilion!"
"You stubborn old fellow! Do you know how to do business?"
"You are such an ignorant little thing! Do you need to teach me how to run a business in Jubao Pavilion?"
The two people were arguing in the most luxurious shop in Wulong Town like aunties in the vegetable market.
Ban Yiluo's beard was already flying and he was gasping for breath from the noise.
Soon, the quarrel escalated into personal attacks...
boom!
If you disagree with something, you will get angry and embarrassed!
The little hammer behind Ban Yilou leaped up, jumped out of the counter, and slapped Tang Zheng on the head.
Not willing to be outdone, Tang Zheng raised his star and picked up a wooden stick next to the counter...
"Put that stick down. You can't fucking pay for anything you break."
"I can afford the compensation!" Tang Zheng thrust his stick forward, and the lavender star power covered the entire stick...
Then……
quiet.
Ban Yiluo's palm stopped in mid-air.
He stared at Tang Zheng's constellation without blinking.
"Fuck, Purple Gold Tongbao?" Ban Yilou looked at Tang Zheng as if he were a ghost. "I was wondering how you are so rich, could this star sign be able to make money?"
"Do you think astrology can be used to perform magic?" Tang Zheng was completely speechless.
"Hey, the main star introduced into your first life palace, this is..." Ban Yiluo couldn't understand it.
"Hehe, let me into the cabinet and I'll tell you." Tang Zheng coaxed.
"No! Rules are rules!" Ban Yiluo refused decisively.
The two people broke down again.
Tang Zheng was so annoyed by this stubborn old man that he threw out the other two pieces of pure gold: "Change them to purple gold Tongbao first!"
"What for?" Ban Yiluo asked.
"Can't I buy something?"
"Just buy something, why are you so fierce!" Ban Yilou smiled instantly, "Two hundred taels of pure gold, which is equivalent to three hundred taels of purple gold! What do you need?"
"Whatever!" Tang Zheng replied unhappily.
It was fine that he couldn't enter the inner cabinet and buy the purple gold flower water. Although the martial arts and weapons in the outer cabinet were also good, when he thought of the Treasure Pavilion and the inner cabinet, Tang Zheng had little interest in the things outside...
It’s better to wait until the next transaction amount is sufficient, get the purple gold token, and then go into the cabinet to choose!
Ban Yilou was also stunned for a moment: "Hey, you are not angry?"
Tang Zheng laughed in silence. Did this old man think he was some spoiled young master? How could he get angry so easily?
"What should I buy?" Tang Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Are there many strong people who have joined Yingshan?"
"About 80 to 90 percent." Ban Yiluo was startled by him, "Why did you suddenly..."
"Nothing!" Tang Zheng grabbed a piece of paper and started writing.
Ban Yilou watched him write down one thing after another, and his expression became more and more strange...
Tang Zheng wrote for a full quarter of an hour before he stopped.
"Well, that's all. I want them all." Tang Zheng handed the paper to Ban Yiluo.
"..." Ban Yilou's face twitched, "Chenghui is one hundred and eighty-five gold!"
Although the unit price of items in Jubao Pavilion was not low, with few items priced below fifty silver coins, Ban Yiluo had never encountered such a high price of more than one hundred and eighty taels of purple gold Tongbao in one go since he took over the shop.
However, after receiving the money, he quickly counted all and stuffed them into a storage bag, along with more than a hundred purple gold coins, and handed them to Tang Zheng...
Originally, there was a charge for engraving a storage bag with independent space on the cloth through a unique formation!
A small storage bag contains two taels of purple gold Tong Bao, and a large storage bag contains three taels of purple gold Tong Bao!
Even in Tangjiabao and Yinlan Villa, there are not many storage bags like this!
But for a big business worth more than 180 gold, Ban Yilou was too lazy to accept his "small amount"...
"Hey." Ban Yilou couldn't help but ask when Tang Zheng was leaving, "You bought these... aren't you going to kill some three-star warrior?"
"Do I look like someone who enjoys seeking death?" Tang Zheng gave him a harmless smile.
"Very similar..." Ban Yilou looked at the smile and felt a chill all over his body. Why did he feel that someone was going to be unlucky...
