Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 39 I Really Don't Need Money
"I'm not here..." Tang Zheng replied weakly.
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
As soon as he came in, Ah Zhi said with a dark face: "Didn't you say you were not here?"
Although his "wow" expression looked great, Tang Zheng did not forget that this guy was a two-star warrior!
Moreover, he is obviously the type of spoiled child who might kill someone if he disagrees with someone.
"I'm about to go out." Tang Zheng spread his hands.
"Don't go yet, wait a moment." Azhi jumped over in three or two steps, and the stars rose up with a "whoosh".
"Damn it?" Tang Zheng also cried out in surprise and the stars rose up.
The two of them stared at each other.
Then, Ah Zhi closed his eyes slightly and raised his hands...
Intricate dark red lines rose from the palm of his hand like ripples.
He pressed his left palm downwards!
A finger of his right hand pointed at Tang Zheng...
Tang Zheng just felt hot all over.
Then, three palm-sized human shadows appeared in front of his eyes!
Although the shadows were very vague, with only an outline, Tang Zheng could still vaguely recognize that the three figures were the Viper who was killed in Fengmen Village with the cooperation of Tian Meng, Xiaogui who was killed in the alley of West Street , and the assassin who had his neck cut last night.
Soon, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Azhi's forehead.
He raised his hands and put them down again, regulated his breathing, calmed his star power, and then opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the shadows of the dead people in front of Tang Zheng disappeared without a trace...
"Tsk... only one star?" Azhi snorted disdainfully.
"Killing you is enough." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
Ah Zhi's face darkened again. He obviously didn't want to think about what happened last night. He said in a vicious voice, "Although you are a little weak and caused me a lot of trouble, I am magnanimous and won't bother with you. You have killed three one-star warriors so far, and two of them were killed before the life palace was lit up. Well, the Shadow Power List only recognizes the number of heads, not the strength... You are not bad, so I will reluctantly invite you to join."
As he spoke, he threw out a black dagger-shaped token.
There is a small star engraved on the token.
It was exactly the same as the one held in the hands of the assassin who attacked Tang Zheng in Tangjiabao!
Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched: "Shadow King's Order?"
"Do you know him?" Azhi said.
"I don't know him." Tang Zheng denied.
"It's great that you know me. I don't need to waste time talking to you." Azhi turned around and left.
"Stop!" Tang Zheng was inexplicably thrown a Shadow King Order, and he definitely couldn't let him go without knowing the reason. "I think, how about you talk nonsense for a while?"
Ah Zhi was so furious that he thought about it in his head, "What is my identity? What is your identity? Why should I explain everything to a one-star warrior like you and waste my time and make me angry? Is it worth it?" He roared, but when he thought of the long talk that Ghost Grandpa had with him last night, he had to hold back his anger.
In any case, the man in front of him is very good at killing people!
"The ranking of the Shadow Powerful List is calculated by head count. The more people you kill, the higher your ranking will be. The higher the ranking of the people you kill on the Shadow Powerful List, the faster your ranking will rise." Azhi said.
"Then I'd better lead the troops to fight, it's faster to upgrade..." Tang Zhengdao.
"You killed them yourself! Your own hands! And you can only move up in the rankings if you kill people of the same star or with higher star power than you!" Ah Zhi finally calmed down and flipped through a crumpled piece of paper. "Every time you advance, someone will give you a Shadow King Token. The things that the Shadow King Token can be exchanged for, as well as the rules for using it, are all written on it... Can you read?"
Tang Zheng ignored him, took it and looked down.
The Shadow King's Order, which Ban Yiluo did not tell him in detail, was written clearly on this piece of paper.
It turns out that in addition to the function of exchanging money and beauties as Ban Yilou mentioned, the more important function of the Shadow King Order is to buy and save lives!
One one-star Shadow King Order can buy the life of a one-star warrior, and ten one-star Shadow King Orders can buy the life of a two-star warrior, and so on...
Similarly, once a one-star Shadow King Order is activated, Yingshan will send people to protect for three days. During this period, all attacks from one-star warriors will be resisted. Ten one-star Shadow King Orders can resist two-star warriors for three days, and so on...
Regarding buying and saving lives, there is a detailed list on this crumpled paper.
Tang Zheng thought of the assassin who went to Tangjiabao again...
At the last moment of her life, she wanted to activate the Shadow King Order to save her life, right?
Unfortunately, before she could start, she was split into two halves by Meng Fenghua.
Moreover, even if she succeeded in starting it, she would probably die before Kageyama's masters arrived.
In addition to the Shadow King Order given when entering the list, you can also get it every time you are sent by Yingshan to kill someone or protect someone, as long as you succeed. Generally, you get one order for killing someone and two orders for protecting someone.
When Tang Zheng saw this, he, like the people in Purple Gold City, became extremely confused about the Shadow Mountain system - to protect a person, only one Shadow King Order was charged, but two were required. Isn't this a huge loss?
No wonder Ban Yiluo looked like he had a splitting headache when he mentioned the Kageyama system!
Tang Zhengsan finished reading it in two glances...
Ah Zhi looked at him expectantly: "How is it?"
"What?" Tang Zheng threw the black dagger token back to Azhi.
"The Shadow Powerful List! Don't you want to be on it?" Azhi was angry.
"I don't see any benefit in being on the list..." Tang Zheng spoke the truth. He wanted his reputation to spread throughout the continent, so he thought it would be more appropriate to compete for the Xingyao Powerful List. Not to mention, the ice cream formation that Meng Fenghua told him about was the goal he wanted to achieve the most!
"When you rank higher, someone will look for you to fight!" said Azhi.
"I'm a pacifist." Tang Zheng smiled harmlessly.
"If you rank high, someone will hire you to kill people." Azhi said.
"I don't like killing people even more." Tang Zheng spread his hands.
"Hey, you can make money by killing people!"
"But I don't lack money at all..."
“Is there anyone who doesn’t need money?”
“I’m really not short of money!”
“Ahhhhhh, why don’t you just die!” Azhi scratched his head, helpless.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Well, since you invited me so sincerely... I will consider whether to compete for the Shadow Powerful List or not."
"Consider your sister!" Azhi really wanted to kill him with a sword.
Who is he? If he passes the successor assessment, he will be the next Shadow King of Kageyama. He personally came to invite a mere one-star warrior, but he got the answer of "I'll think about it", which really made him angry.
call……
A gust of cold wind woke Ah Zhi up.
He was stunned immediately.
There was no trace of Tang Zheng in the room anymore!
"When...did he go out?" Azhi rushed to the window, but all he saw was the dark rainy night outside.
It looks like a ghost, coming and going silently.
Azhi's expression finally straightened up. He stood at the window for a long, long time without moving.
…
Tang Zheng came to Jubao Pavilion again. Ban Yiluo was not surprised at all. What surprised him was that Tang Zheng arranged seven pieces of purple gold in a row for him.
"Exchange all of them into purple gold Tongbao." Tang Zheng said.
"Impossible!" Ban Yilou took a breath of cold air, "I don't have that many purple gold coins to exchange for you!"
"Seven hundred taels of pure gold is only one thousand and fifty taels of Tongbao. You don't even have such a small amount of money. What kind of store do you run?" Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Fuck! Do you think more than a thousand taels of purple gold are cheap?" Ban Yiluo didn't know why, but every time he saw Tang Zheng, he would get so angry after just three sentences.
Doing business with Tang Zheng is really like doing business with your life.
Tang Zheng looked at the sky and realized that he had wasted a lot of time because of Xiao Zhengtai. It would be too late to go back later, so he simply said without further ado: "Okay, how much do I need to get the VIP card?"
"What is a VIP card?" Ban Yiluo was confused.
"That is... the one who can go into the cabinet to buy things, that..."
"That's called the Purple Gold Token! One of the five most valuable tokens in Xingyao Continent!" Ban Yiluo was irritated again by his random name.
"Okay, okay, whatever your name is, give me one!"
"Your current transaction amount is a total of 685 taels of purple gold, and you still need 315 taels." Ban Yilou replied.
"Three hundred and fifteen taels?" Tang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
He would definitely look down upon the martial arts and weapons of the outer cabinet.
So, he first ordered a new copy of all the mechanisms he had bought last time.
Ban Yilou was stunned: "You bought so much, and you used it up so quickly?"
"Well, the quality is pretty good. Let's buy some more." Tang Zheng nodded.
"What did you do with them? Set off fireworks?" Ban Yiluo really couldn't imagine how a bag full of hidden weapons and poisons could be used up in one day!
“……” Tang Zheng spread his hands.
No matter what, business is business. Ban Yilou gave him all the items again. He also saw that Tang Zheng was just trying to make up the order, so he spoke up without waiting for Tang Zheng to ask, "We still need one hundred and thirty taels! How about another pack?"
Tang Zheng shook his head, because, in a flash, he saw something on the shelf next to the counter...
"Master." Tang Zheng pointed at the shelf, "What is that?"
The Treasure Pavilion is filled with jewels and jades, but there is a very incongruous shelf next to the counter!
