Volume 4: Future · Gap 2 · Dirty Land Chapter 18: Records of the Filthy Land
The arrow is on the string and has to be shot, and Jie Bu is not a cowardly person.
So he decided to seek death with Lu Bai.
As they plunged into the dimension of death, the people outside instantly lost sight of Lu Bai and others.
The king snake watched all this with a gloomy face, and then decisively ran away with his people.
He was planning to run away anyway, and now he has simply attracted the attention of his former enemy.
On the other side of the dirty land, Lu Bai and Jie Bu also landed safely, but Jie Bu 's face was a little pale and he was forced to give up some of his energy.
"Is this the dirty land?" Jie Bu opened his panel and got some information from it.
"That's right. We need to move a little bit to earn more merit points here, and then ask the Impure Will to deviate a little from the exit when we leave."
Lu Bai suggested a solution.
They could go back now, but their conditions have become a little worse because of handing in their vitality.
Even if it's just a one-way trip, you still have to pay the exit fee.
The two of them were carrying too many things at the moment, and they also had to pay tolls for these things.
If you go out, you will lose half your life if you don't die.
"So we need merits to make up the numbers and take the time to recover." Jie Bu also roughly understood the rules of the Impure World.
"Almost. By the way, it would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to make some money." After Lu Bai looked at the direction, he began to lead the way.
He wanted to go to the Wanjietong Shopping Mall as he had been away for a few days.
I don’t know whether this shop has been successfully opened or demolished in the past few days.
At least in these days, Wanjietong has not released any advertisements.
Lu Bai flipped through the densely packed task bar, and then found a task to clear the foul air at a familiar coordinate.
"Oh wow, Senior Gargoyle is still holding on and nothing happened." Lu Bai came to the conclusion and then flipped through more tasks.
Among all the tasks, "stagnation of foul air" accounts for the largest proportion.
It is unknown how much of this is due to the stagnation caused by the gathering of natural foul air.
"It's really a battle of wits and courage." Lu Bai was full of joy. In this filthy land, people were very energetic.
Here, you can more clearly see how much people value the vitality of life.
"Every slave seems to be able to be sold at a sky-high price!" Jie Bu came to this conclusion while standing in front of the market.
A slave’s life is also a life.
Their vitality can be used for sacrifice, to please the Divine, and to help you pay for various entry and exit fees.
It can even be directly exchanged for Divine World Merits.
However, that approach is extremely stupid. A truly smart person would use the life of a slave as if it were the life of dozens of others.
At this time, whether you are yourself or a slave, you will be particularly close to the true meaning of life and then love it.
"This place is darker than my home!" Jie Bu followed Lu Bai through the market, looking at the various living beings or undead creatures around him with interest.
Just like those who make weapons have the desire to make everything into weapons, those who play with blood want to try to make any strange life forms into blood reagents, and then inject them into other human bodies to see if they can trigger a miraculous reaction.
In short, at this time, Jie Bu realized that the Impure Land was a huge treasure trove.
The thinking of the family inheritor immediately came online.
"If we can stabilize the channel, it will be a continuous source of wealth that can even bring about earth-shaking changes!"
"Of course, but this kind of channel is not so stable." Lu Bai said: "The biggest problem is pollution!"
"The Thousand Dimensions Church will not allow the existence of death pollution. Do you want to bring a natural disaster of the undead to the earth?"
"Um... I know some methods to shield pollution. Although they are not targeted at the death dimension, all of these can be experimented!" After a slight pause, Jie Bu immediately gave his answer.
Their Snake Shadow faction has connections with the other dimension and has established a good friendship with a race called the Snake People.
Therefore, there is a dimensional channel between them.
Any collision with the outside dimension will cause pollution. The key point is just how strong the pollution's ability to spread is.
The dimensional pollution on the Snake People's side is relatively weak, so as long as it can be handled well, the Thousand Dimension Church has no objection.
In short, don't destroy the earth, and everything will be fine.
But we need to work out a specific rule to calculate the gains and losses.
With this thought in mind, Jie Bu paid more attention to all the big and small things in the filthy land.
They are now in a "live zone".
The so-called "active area" is the relatively active area in the filthy land.
Such areas are generally the "mouth" of the Impure Land, and are the channels through which the Impure Land absorbs vitality from other dimensions.
In such an area, they are like termites in the mouth of the filth, and they can benefit from eating some vitality.
It is precisely because of such areas that some undead creatures are not completely squeezed out by the filthy land.
Instead, they are exploited by their own kind.
This kind of living area is occupied by powerful beings, and then special zones are set up to allow other creatures to come. It seems that they will not urge you to pay rent every day like in the dirty land.
But you need to work hard to build this area.
In essence, it is still the way of using one life as several lives.
Use limited life to create infinite value.
If you can't create it, then just sacrifice it to the abyss.
From simply paying rent to the dirty world, it became having to pay rent after being 007 all the time.
From short-term pain, it turned into eternal pain.
When Lu Bai and Jie Bu came in, countless greedy creatures stared at them, wanting to squeeze them dry.
The longer you stay in this living area, the more taxes you have to pay.
When you can't pay your taxes, you end up in debt, and the debt keeps growing.
In the end, when the debt reaches a certain level, they will automatically sell themselves and become public slaves.
After that, it will be difficult for you to die.
Extract your consciousness and put it into tools to create eternal tools?
Make your body into a mindless zombie that keeps working?
Cook your brain into delicious food and serve it to guests?
This place is more terrifying and more dangerous than the wilds of the dirty world.
"At the same time, it is also richer. Life and vitality have no meaning if they are not flowing."
“When it circulates, it can create unlimited wealth, and use wealth to bring more lives.”
The premise is that you become the master here.
"Cut his consciousness into three parts for me. I need a clock with three hands!" A gargoyle, carrying a man with a large tail, threw him into the Wanjietong Shop, Lu Bai's destination, and said, "His body will be used as processing fee!"
