Chapter 425 Everything Has a Price
Lu Yao returned to the temple and asked about Puxi and Zhichong.

Butterfly said: "My lord, the intelligent insect and the Duke of Black Heart have cooperated in the past. When the Duke sent someone to contact the intelligent insect, it did not immediately inform us."

"It took about a year to contact the Duke before it informed Mayor Botu of this matter. The reason for the delay is that it said it needed to further observe the Duke's movements to determine their true intentions and avoid alarming others."

"This is also the reason why I have some doubts about it, so in this front-line battle, I ask the intelligent insects to participate to prove my loyalty."

Yan Wang continued: "Sifang City has been mixed with people from various forces on the fifth floor. This is something we have always known. Considering the cumbersome and laborious investigation of these people one by one, it will also affect the vagrants and extraordinary people who really want to migrate. Therefore, we choose to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and carry out special tracking of key suspicious persons."

"If we can make good use of them, the spies from the various forces on the fifth floor and the scattered crossovers will help the Quartet Kingdom to carry out propaganda on the fifth floor and further absorb the population of all parties on the fifth floor."

Lu Yao thinks this idea is okay.

The Quartet does not engage in closed-door policy, and the display of comprehensive strength is also a deterrent.

Due to the differences in the regional environment of the abyss, the planting and animal husbandry of the fourth floor cannot be copied to the fifth floor at all, which also makes the food of the four countries become a long-term export advantage industry.

"This strategy ultimately proved to be successful."

The mountain golem said proudly: "The population of the Sifang Kingdom continues to grow, and the vast majority of them are immigrants. They heard about the development of the Sifang Kingdom on the fifth floor, came here through the crack with curiosity, and then chose to settle for a long time .”

"According to the natural reproduction of the Sifang Kingdom, the population growth is very slow. The fertility rate of the Transcendents is generally low, and the fifth layer of the population accounts for the largest proportion of the ordinary people in the abyss."

"The vagrants near the passageway on the fifth floor came to the Sifang Kingdom one after another. What hinders the further growth of the population of the Sifang Kingdom is the restriction of the region itself. Because there is a mage's tower on one side of the crack, and chicken king Dalia and bone king Nidia on the other. These demigods who have territories will also rob people, and it is difficult for homeless people to escape from their territories..."

"Sorry, my lord, talking about government affairs involves far-reaching things, but it's okay not to talk about it."

Yan Wang brought the topic back: "Stoke, Duke of Black Heart, wants to understand the real strength of the Sifang Kingdom through the intelligent insects, and also to determine the attitude of the intelligent insects themselves."

"The intelligent insects have also clearly told the other party about these two points. It is your follower and a member of the Sifang Kingdom. However, Stoke doesn't seem to believe it. He suspects that the intelligent insects may be Noland's internal agents... "

Lu Yaoxin said that this doubt is normal.

Zhi Chong and Noland are also old acquaintances.

Speaking of which, Zhi Chong is really good at managing interpersonal relationships.

Although it is a member of the Cursed Worm, all forces give it more face.

"Later, Stoke got into trouble in Puxi. To be precise, Puxi's [Golden Plate Ceremony] had the greatest impact on Stoke, because among the three demigod lords on the fifth floor, only Stoke was extremely Relying on export commodities to obtain resource supplies."

Stoke's plight starts with the spectacle [Nitang Garan].

There are two halls in this spectacle: public hall and dining hall.

The hall is the place where monks gather to practice.The Garan monks here will meditate in their respective positions and learn about practice from the statue of Garan Dharma Protector.

The canteen is a place where monks donate food to the outside world.It is said to be a cafeteria, but it is more like a charity hall for the outside world.

These two places have to run non-stop, Stoke needs to give alms every day, and has to try to attract more people to become monks and meditate.

In order to even out more food, Stoke always added grass roots, leaves and silt to the food he gave... Later, in order to achieve better results, he ground all the food with these ingredients into powder and boiled it bisque.

Except for the abyss wanderers, there are also various wild animals who accept the donation, and there are many extraordinary creatures among them.When they were hungry, they could only pinch their noses and drink the canteen soup.

The nickname of the Black Heart Duke of Stoke also partly comes from this.

But the effort to maintain Ertang Jialan is rewarded.

This spectacle can call out the powerful Garan Guardian to join the battle, and it can also allow the monks to condense the Almighty Stone through meditation and practice. After the monks sit and die, they will be cremated, and the Almighty Stone will be separated from the corpse.

"...But this is just Stoke's statement to the outside world. Based on the number of monks who died, it is not enough to support the sale of the Omnipotence Stone to the outside world. Ertang Jialan must have other ways to produce or collect the Omnipotence Stone."

King Yan paused for a moment: "According to the information obtained by the Sifang Kingdom, the number of monks in Ertang Jialan is now around 2000."

"To become a monk, you must complete meditation practice day after day and participate in giving. Most people cannot endure this kind of ascetic life for a long time. But monks must practice in line with their words and deeds. If you can't persist, Eventually the name of the monk will also disappear."

"The total population of the Stoke Territory is around 10, of which at least 5 are serving Ertang Jialan, participating in trade exchanges with the outside world, and looking for monk candidates."

Lu Yao understood.

The black-hearted Duke Stoke wants to maintain the operation of Ertang Jialan, not only to fool people into becoming monks, but also to stabilize the monk team and consider the issue of the cafeteria giving to the outside world.

It can only be said that he got started with a spectacle with a high upper limit but extremely difficult operation.

The demigod Puxi led the gold plate merchants to swindle everywhere, causing huge damage to the trading ecology of the fifth floor of the abyss.The demigods, who are far from trusting each other, have further tightened trade, which is a major blow to Stoke, which needs to import a lot of food.

That's why there was the scene where he sent the businessman Pitts to discuss with Zhi Chong.

Stoke hopes to reach an official level of cooperation with the four countries as soon as possible, to obtain a stable supply of food imports, and to further crack down on the scams in Puxi.

……

Most of the ghosts and ghosts in Puxi are made by [Golden Plate Ceremony] businessmen on their behalf, but it is difficult to pinpoint his location.

However, there is no such a number one person in the world encyclopedia, and there is no way to find it.

When Lu Yao was troubled, Noland, who had just joined the group, volunteered.

"Master God, I have a way to find Puxi."

The No. 11 apostle said: "In my [Spell Bag], there is an advanced spell called [Find Objects], as long as I use this golden dice that I have never touched since I bought it from Pusina, I can Find traces of him."

The corner of the masked koala's mouth showed a hint of complacency: "I originally wanted to sanction this guy at a critical moment, but now it will come in handy."

Lu Yao told him to hurry up.

The only problem is that the spells drawn from Noland's [Spell Bag] are random.

In specific use, it summed up some practical tips, such as adjusting the mana consumption to filter out the spell level.

For example, if Norland only wanted a simple [Light Spell], he only needed to invest 10 points of mana.It is randomly selected from a bunch of low-level spells, and the probability of taking out [Illumination] is relatively high.

In other words, as long as you take out the spell you have used, you will know its mana consumption, and the next time you adjust the mana, the possibility of taking out the same spell will be greatly increased.

"[Find Objects] is an advanced spell, so the mana consumption is adjusted to about 850."

The koala said, grabbing its claws into the pouch on its stomach.

It picks and chooses, and grabs a ball of light.

The ball of light bloomed suddenly, turning into many pink bubbles, covering almost half of the temple.

Slender goblins flew out of the bubbles. They were hard to distinguish between male and female, but they were all handsome.These goblins sang light songs and danced around the koala, rubbing its ears and shoulders.

Lu Yao saw that an entry appeared behind Noland's [Spell Bag].

……

[Fairy Township]: Summon a group of legendary fairies, let them stay here for a short time, and dedicate their singing, dancing, flattery and praise to the user.

……

Summon a fairy idol group?

Lu Yao looked at the koala suspiciously.

What kind of spells does this guy usually study?The God of Darkness commented that Noland was not doing his job properly. At first, Lu Yao thought it was a difference in the training route, but now he is a little suspicious.

"Listen to my explanation... This is purely a mistake, a mistake."

The koala wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his paw: "It's a random question from the spell bag."

It waved its claws, and the surrounding pink bubbles immediately dissipated.

Noland put his paw into his pocket again.

It grabs a second sphere of light.

The ball of light burst, and countless lightning bolts burst out of it. Noland quickly grabbed it and threw it into the air, before lying down on the ground...

After experiencing uncontrollable spells such as burning fire, flooding the golden mountain, and poisonous mist, Noland, who was in a panic, finally grabbed a scroll from the ball of light.

"This is it!"

The koala said excitedly: "My lord, this is it. Just wait a moment, and I will mark Puxi for you to find it."

It carefully took out a crystal box, and threw the golden dice inside on the scroll.

A picture slowly emerged on the scroll.

On the screen, there is a traveler holding a pole.

His body was completely covered by a robe, with a brass mask on his face, brass armor on his exposed arms and legs, and a backpack larger than a human being on his back. The golden disc behind the backpack shone with metallic luster .

He was at the entrance of a forest, and he was talking to a wanderer passing by.

"This is... the dueling forest."

Noland recognized it at a glance: "It turns out that this guy ran there to deceive people. Recently, Hu Yizi's centaur cavalry is attacking a demigod over there. Puxi always appears in turbulent places."

Lu Yao suddenly noticed that Puxi opened his hand to the vagrant, raised his brass index finger and pointed to the sky.

The vagrant raised his head in a daze, and looked at the round of gold plate floating above his head. His eyes were coated with a layer of gold, and then returned to normal.

At this time, a very satisfied smile appeared on the homeless man's face.He kissed Puxi's metal hand, as if swearing in his mouth, his eyes became wild and sick.

Noland said: "My lord, this is the gold plate ceremony. Through bewitching and deceiving methods, Puxi turned many homeless people into his gold plate merchants... These gold plate merchants usually look normal, only holding the gold plate Crazy will only be shown during the ceremony."

Lu Yao could feel that time was running out.

While the body is still usable, this cancer must be dealt with as soon as possible.

……

The Dueling Forest is located in the southeast corner of the fifth floor, adjacent to the mage's tower to the west, and Hu Yizi's territory to the north.

Fortunately, Norland built a portal with a specific spell, which is enough to traverse a large area of ​​territory in a short time and reach the outskirts of the forest.

Lu Yao stood not far from this spectacle.

It is said to be a forest, but it is a bunch of low trees less than the height of a person.

They cling to each other tightly, the texture of the leaves and trunks is close to plastic, and there is a sense of righteousness and falsehood, just like some kind of garden scenery.

Lu Yao was not surprised.The Duel Forest is also a part of the [Miniature Empire], and the [Inherited Mage Tower] is a miniature model, and the style here remains the same.

The Dueling Forest is one of the four great wonders on the fifth floor. Although it is occupied by the head and tail worms, anyone can use the ability of this wonder: a fight to the death.

If two or more people walk into the duel forest together, they will get lost and wander in it, and only when there is only one person left alive, can they find the way out of the forest.

Lu Yao stared at the plastic forest ahead.

……

【Duel Forest】:
A forest originally used by people to fight duels has been shrunk for unknown reasons and has a special curse attached to it.Those who enter the forest will also be shrunk synchronously, and will be prompted with a mark. If they cannot complete the duel, they will never be able to leave.

【Duel Curse】

Those who enter it will trigger the curse, and the curse will be released only when there is only one survivor left in the same batch of entrants.If only one living person enters, the living person will be lost in the forest until the next living person enters, triggering the dueling curse together.

【Survivor Reward】

If there is only the last survivor left in the entire forest, he will be able to share the power absorbed by the curse in the duel forest until the No. 2 survivor enters.

……

Dueling Mori's ability is a curse system, similar to Battle Royale, the comparison is who can survive in the end.Strength is as important as brains in this game of survival.

The first and last worms entrenched here, apparently to monopolize the [Survivor Reward], wait for work in it, and hunt and kill people who enter it for various reasons.

And it can squeeze away the crickets, sojourners, and intelligent insects, and monopolize this place, and its strength is stronger than other curse insects.Only by solving it can we win this spectacle, that is to say, send the apostles into the dueling forest?
Lu Yao suddenly realized that he didn't need to trouble himself at all.

The wonders on the fifth floor are all unowned things. As long as you use the power of faith to transform them, all demigods will be unable to use them—they can’t use the fire of faith to take them back.

In other words, as long as you are willing, you can easily take these four wonders and piece them together into a broken version of [Miniature Empire].

But at present, Puxi must be dealt with first, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake.

Lu Yao walked towards the plastic forest. As he got closer, the low trees became taller and stronger with the naked eye, and the scale of the forest seemed to suddenly expand.

He knew that it was not that the tree became taller, but that he himself was shrunk.

At the entrance outside the forest, the smartly dressed Puxi is still there.

He is like a classic businessman in various game copies, standing there quietly, waiting for adventurers who come to buy various props at high prices.

Lu Yao looked at the demigod who had found no such person, but only saw a string of garbled characters.

There is indeed a problem.

He called out [Curse of True Sight], and the opponent's data panel slowly appeared on his pupils.

……

[Wine Worshiper LV97] Tiger Yizi
Health: 86559/86559
Mana: 12561/19002
Damage: 268
Defense: 198
Speed: 14
【Wisdom LV22】

【thick skin】

【Family】

A race transformed by the God of Greed.

【Gold Plate Ceremony】

By performing this ceremony, other individuals are given the ability to [Bewitch], and those who participate in the ceremony can pray through this ceremony and be guided by the ability holder.

【Alcoholic】

By drinking all kinds of alcohol, you can temporarily improve your own attributes slightly.

[Critical Mastery LV30]

When attacking, there is a chance to cause additional damage and put the opponent into a [Stiffness] state.

【Drunk Tiger LV4】

[Exclusive ability of Hu Yizi] Hu Yizi drinks a lot of spirits and transforms into a drunk tiger, which is not affected by any negative status, and is in a state of continuous speed change, making it impossible for the enemy to judge the attack method and frequency.

……

Lu Yao was stunned.

It turns out that the so-called Puxi is a vest made by Hu Yizi.

He holds some unknown props that can change his appearance to hide his identity.

Moreover, this guy is also a member of the [God of Greed].

Lu Yao looked through the background of the world.

The God of Darkness has only one line to comment on Hu Yizi.

"Idiots who bet against themselves".

Both Noland and Butterfly commented on Hu Yizi as a fighter.

Among the three demigods, Hu Yizi is the one who fights the most abroad, and has been crusading and conquering other demigods all year round.

Contrary to the steady and steady Noland, Hu Yizi's men are all horse cavalry, who plunder in the wild all year round.Due to his ferocious and domineering style, the demigods adjacent to his territory formed a group to resist Hu Yizi.

Puxi, who is extremely advocating attack and Hu Yizi, and likes to hide in the dark to conduct fraudulent trade, it is difficult to associate these two characters together.

Lu Yao is not interested in his motives or conspiracy.

Today I mainly came here to teach him a lesson.

Let Puxi know that coming to Yao God's territory to be cheated and abducted, there is no good fruit to eat.

Lu Yao stood in front of Hu Yizi.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and a dull voice came from under the brass mask: "This customer, do you need any help? Whether you need a certain prop or someone, Puxi will do everything for you .”

Lu Yao said, "I'll buy something from you."

"What do you want to buy?"

"Are there any epic props?"

Hu Yizi was stunned: "That kind of thing doesn't exist in the abyss."

"A spectacle is fine."

"...Sorry, no."

Lu Yao nodded: "The goods are not all in stock, this kind of business is not good."

Hu Yizi grasped his cane tightly, and seemed to be holding back his anger.

"Then I'll give you something, and you estimate the price."

"Please take it out and have a look."

Lu Yao raised his hand to grab it, and there was an extra [Flavor Tank LV3] in his hand.

Hu Yizi observed it for a while: "The tinder props are low-level and of poor quality. I can give you 120 omnipotent stones."

Lu Yao sneered.

This price reduction is indeed the taste of profiteers.

He put away the Taoist soldiers, and took out another [Paper Pawn Daoist LV7].

The other party looked at it for a moment: "The tinder item is of middle or lower level, and the quality is average. I can give you 240 omnipotent stones."

Lu Yao took out another shiny stone.

"Then what about this?"

Seeing the glowing stone on his paw, Hu Yizi froze suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it: "This is... Godhead?"

"You are not a sapient, and a sapient cannot hold a godhead!"

"who are you?"

Faced with this problem, Lu Yao just played with the godhead in his hand: "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. But identity is not really important."

"I'm here today to do business with you."

Lu Yao said: "I respect the rules of businessmen, and everything has a price. So, now I want you to measure how much you are worth?"

"..."

Hu Yizi was silent for a while: "I can't measure my own price."

"So, what is the price that the God of Greed gave you?"

"who are you?"

He took a step back, looking extra vigilant and nervous.

Lu Yao smiled slightly: "I am your customer, you need to give me a satisfactory price to buy your right to survive here. Then, please quote me a price first."

As if Hu Yizi finally realized something, he held the cane with both hands, his voice trembling: "Go into and out of the abyss, descend on your behalf, hold the godhead... You have inherited the legacy of the God of Darkness!"

His tone also became a little excited.

"If I can become your word of God, I will know everything, tell you everything I know, and offer you all my strength!"

Hu Yizi set a high price for himself.

It's a pity that Lu Yao doesn't like bargaining.

"I've estimated the price for you."

Lu Yao said: "The conclusion is that it is not worth buying."

He raised his hand, and the god-born giant walked out of the white mist, covering Hu Yizi who was trying to escape in its huge figure...
