Chapter 522: Accidents and Surprises
Half an hour ago, dark clouds were lingering in Jinling City, but it hadn't rained yet.
Ever since he knew that this world was just a game of Huangliang, Wang Qi felt that he had suddenly become enlightened.
What about walking on thin ice, what about being cautious, in his eyes at this moment, that was all nonsense.
In fact, if he hadn't sympathized with the experience of the dream character Ao Hu, and wanted to help him get a good ending, and satisfy his vanity as a savior. In addition, he was afraid that this dream of Huangliang was just a one-time consumable, and he was afraid that after playing it too much, he would never be able to enter again.
Otherwise, Wang Qi felt that he should have been running rampant on the street at this moment, and started to be domineering.
Bold and decisive, daring to think and do, that's the fun of the game!
After leaving the room that triggered the task, Wang Qi spent most of the day walking to the foot of Lion Mountain in the north city of Jinling.
This is not because he was so poor that he didn't even have the money to take the earth dragon. In the pre-plot that lasted for half a year, he still saved some savings as a labor slave. Although he was cheated by his foreman and the black medical clinic, he still had some money left.
When he thought of this, Wang Qi was furious and secretly vowed to go back and kill these two bastards after he became a follower.
Wang Qi slowed down his pace and walked on the street, carefully feeling this dream world that was frighteningly realistic and delicate.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, but the light from the street lights and the photos of the shops on both sides was enough for Wang Qi to see the faces of every passerby clearly.
The dream house and brothel were submerged in a beautiful color, and there were gangsters with carved dragons and painted phoenixes squatting on the side, with their sleeves deliberately rolled up to reveal their bodies shining with cold light. The foremen and foremen who were working part-time wore proper silk gowns, their hair was combed into a bun, and then carefully covered with a net scarf, which was meticulously groomed. They were surrounded by beautiful women who looked like they were under the knife of a doctor and walked towards the wine shop with warm yellow lights. A scavenger who was afraid of being drowned by the backflow of rainwater ran out of the underground passage of Dilong Station quickly, chose a roof to stay in, and posed comfortably on the narrow steps. Then he rolled his eyes and entered the beautiful dream again.
Boom!
A muffled thunder came from the clouds, and the raindrops began to fall.
The prosperity and bustle of the entire cross street block was like fast forward at this moment. The gang members who were watching the scene shrank into the shadow of the door, and occasionally poked their heads out to greet the regular customers who were about to enter the door. The rich people who were looking for fun did not hesitate in the many entertainment venues, hugging their arms and feet, and hurried.
The originally crowded crowd became sparse in an instant, and only the projections two feet above the ground and the lonely Wang Qi still seemed unhurried.
"Evening government news from Nanzhili, the Ming Empire. Recently, the Liaodong Province of the Empire was suddenly attacked by a large group of unknown bandits. The government offices of various prefectures were severely damaged to varying degrees, with extremely bad effects. At the first moment of the attack, Lu Ning, the governor of Liaodong, responded quickly and handled the situation appropriately. He led the way in fighting the bandits, avoiding the further expansion of the riots and greatly recovering the losses of the empire."
In the window of a store specializing in selling projection equipment, a serious-looking official sat under a flag with the sun and the moon in the same frame, speaking slowly and steadily, with each word sonorous and powerful.
"The Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet affirmed and praised the unity and bravery shown by the officials and people of Liaodong in times of crisis, and at the same time stated that this "Liaodong incident" was a premeditated and organized attack. The court will investigate the matter to the end and must bring the murderer and his mastermind to justice."
The sound of rain, laughter, footsteps, love words, official language, and formal words.
The messy voices merged into a ball, buzzing on the long street.
No one cared what happened in Liaodong, which was far away. Only Wang Qi stood in front of the window and listened carefully.
However, Wang Qi was not suddenly concerned about the court affairs, but was shocked that the attack took place in Liaodong.
"If what is said in this report is true, then the scope of this dream is a bit too large? How much money will it cost to build it?" Wang Qi was secretly shocked.
In this delay, the rain has gradually turned heavier.
Wang Qi frowned and turned into the side street on the right side of the intersection.
He crossed most of Jinling City to come here this time, not to wander around aimlessly, but to complete the current main task.
Become a follower.
From the life experience that Wang Qi has accumulated in this dream world for half a year, it is not easy to become a follower, and it can even be said to be quite difficult.
First, you have to find a sequence that matches your genes, then join an organization or force, accept guidance and training from others, and then after a period of tempering, you will have the opportunity to break the lock and advance.
The current Ming Empire has three religions and nine streams and twelve sequences. Wang Qi still knows this basic concept.
However, if you want to become a follower of Buddhism and Taoism, there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to practice in those Taoist temples or Buddhist temples for a long time. After becoming a loyal believer, you still have to accept a series of complicated tests before you can become a disciple.
The whole process is not only time-consuming, but also very expensive. It is obviously not a good choice for Wang Qi.
As for the most powerful Confucian order in Jinling City, only students who graduated from Confucius Temple are considered, and ordinary idle personnel are not considered at all.
As for other sequences, they are either hidden very deeply. Wang Qi only heard the name of the sequence in the past chat with his co-workers, and he didn't know where it was.
Or the threshold is higher than the three religions. Unless you are a real genius, others will not even look at you.
After thinking about it, Wang Qi felt that these formal ways were probably not feasible for him, and he could only focus on some wild ways that could be quickly accomplished.
However, if you want to take shortcuts, you usually need treasure notes to open the way.
Of course, if the character Wang Qi replaced had a good family and background, then all the problems would naturally be solved.
But from the previous plot, Wang Qi has learned that his character is the bottom of the entire Ming Empire, a real "three-no" person.
No relatives, no friends, and incompetent.
So he can only set his goal on the simplest and crudest promotion method with the lowest threshold.
That is to become a soldier.
Therefore, Wang Qi came to Beicheng to find a black market trading point that his foreman had mentioned, and planned to learn about the market first. See how much treasure notes are needed for the cheapest mechanical heart and the matching implant surgery, so that you can make plans early.
Walking on the street in the rain, Wang Qi frowned, with a heavy look on his face, and his clothes were soaked. At first glance, he seemed to be more embarrassed than those scavengers curled up in the corner.
He now has less than 10,000 treasure notes on his body. According to his previous understanding of the price of mechanical prostheses, a Bai Libing Type III prosthesis can be sold for 150,000 to 200,000 treasure notes. Even if it is a second-hand product that is about to be scrapped, it will cost 40,000 to 50,000 treasure notes.
This is just an ordinary mechanical body. The price of a mechanical heart that can help ordinary people become a follower must be several times higher.
And the income from working for a month is only about 2,000 treasure notes.
It is definitely difficult to buy, so Wang Qi’s purpose this time is not only to understand the market, but also to check the market.
The brave can ride a dragon or a tiger, the timid can ride a chicken.
If it doesn't work, just find a way to beat him up!
Just as Wang Qi was thinking, his eyes were suddenly blocked by a heavy shadow.
He raised his head, and a man nearly eight feet tall stood in front of him. Under the umbrella was a pair of knife-like eyebrows and a big nose. The shape of the bulging muscles could still be seen in the loose robe. The pale red eyes, which were completely different from those of ordinary people, were filled with a fierce look that kept strangers away.
"Friend, it's dark and the road is slippery. Be careful when walking."
The man nodded and looked at Wang Qi, speaking in a very stiff tone.
"Ah, sorry."
Wang Qi smelled a strong iron smell on the other person, and a sense of fear rose in his heart for no reason. He quickly lowered his head and walked around the other person.
The man did not stop Wang Qi from leaving, but just stood in the rain with an umbrella, staring at the back with a sense of panic, like a statue, with red light flowing in his eyes.
"That person must be a powerful dream character, but I don't know whether his position is lawful good or neutral chaos. I'll ask Ao Hu later to see if I can trigger something from him."
The man he met in the rain left a deep impression on Wang Qi. He pushed open the door of the tavern in front of him while recording his appearance.
The tavern, which had just opened for business, was a little bleak, and the huge shop was empty.
Wang Qi was about to greet the boss, but he saw a familiar figure in the corner.
"Is it you?!"
"We meet again, what a coincidence, are you here to buy things or to get information?"
Seeing Li Jun again, Wang Qi was no longer as scared as he was on the Earth Dragon Train.
Isn't he killed by the other party, and even Ao Hu, who provoked him, didn't die, which is enough to prove that the other party is not dangerous.
And this person can beat Ao Hu, who led him, like that, which means he must be a strong dream character, and he may even have a close relationship with his camp.
No longer a murderer, but a gold mine waiting to be dug.
Wang Qi pulled out a chair and sat down, clasping his hands in front of Li Jun.
"Last time, I saw you in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask you your name, brother?"
"Li Jun."
"So it's Brother Jun, nice to meet you, then who is this brother?"
Shen Li looked at Wang Qi with a strange expression, looking expectant in front of him, and for a moment he was a little confused about the relationship between him and Li Jun.
From what the two said, they should have met before, but they definitely didn't have any friendship, otherwise they wouldn't even know Li Jun's name.
And in Shen Li's perception, the other party was just an ordinary person, and because he got cold in the rain, his body was still shaking.
Could it be that I was blinded, and the other party was a master of some sequence that was good at concealment?
That shouldn't be the case. The ability of my gene feedback is perception and resistance. Even Yin Yang Four can't hide in front of me.
Unless the other party is Sequence Three.
Bang!
Shen Li straightened his back, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly: "My name is Shen Li, may I ask you?"
"Wang Qi."
"I wonder which road you are taking, brother Wang?"
Wang Qi obviously didn't quite understand Shen Li's words full of chivalrous spirit. After a moment of silence, he said: "I am taking the main road."
Dalu? Now, among all the people in the world, only Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are qualified to say that they are Dalu.
Shen Li's heart trembled, and a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Li Jun, and asked with his eyes whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.
If he was a friend, then it would be easy to say.
But if he was here to make trouble, then at such a close distance, he and Li Jun, two Wu Si, might not be afraid of him.
Shen Li wanted to see who the other party was, and how he dared to be so arrogant and not take Wu Xu seriously!
Wang Qi didn't know that he had stepped into the palace of Hades. He just thought that this man named Shen Li had something wrong. After saying a few words, he left him alone and winked at himself, and he didn't know what he meant.
Li Jun gave Shen Li a calming look and asked, "Wang Qi, why are you here?"
"I heard that this is an information trading point in the Jinling black market, so I came to inquire about something."
Wang Qi didn't mean to hide anything at all, and said very frankly.
"Did Ao Hu tell you?"
"That's not the case. He has been gone for a long time and told me that he would wait until I become..."
Wang Qi stopped talking, looked at Shen Li warily, and said, "Brother Jun, what are you doing here again?"
Without waiting for Li Jun to answer, Wang Qi took the chair under his buttocks and leaned towards Li Jun, and said excitedly, "In fact, after we parted at the Dragon Station that day, I have always regretted not seizing the opportunity to express my admiration to Brother Jun. I have often sighed in the past few days, and almost regarded it as the biggest regret of my life. I didn't expect that today, I would meet Brother Jun again in this vast Jinling City. What does this mean?"
This means that I have been playing with eagles all my life, but today I was pecked in the eye by you, a little sparrow.
It turns out that this little bastard is just like me, and is here to hug my thighs.
In an instant, Shen Li's face turned extremely pale, and he was deeply ashamed of his reaction just now.
"It means we are destined to be together, and it is definitely not an ordinary fate."
Wang Qi said firmly: "It is a brotherhood, or it is a master-disciple relationship!"
How the hell can it be like this? Who would take off his pants just because he hugs his thigh? Do you have any shame!
Shen Li's clenched teeth creaked, but he stared at Li Jun intently.
If this can be done, then he must risk his life today and swear farewell to Li Jun.
"At best, we have only met for the second time. Can there be such a great fate? Impossible."
Li Jun chuckled and said, he didn't know what Ao Hu said to Wang Qi, which made the other party's attitude towards him change so much.
But he should not have told the other party the truth, otherwise Wang Qi would not be wandering around Jinling City like he is now.
And it seems that he regards himself as a character in the plot, and he wants to be a brother and worship the master right away.
It is difficult to trigger!
Wang Qi was not surprised but happy after hitting a soft nail. The greater the difficulty, the more gains, this is an unbreakable truth since ancient times.
"Brother Jun, you are too polite to say that. Men and women can fall in love at first sight, and men can also feel like old friends at first sight. It has nothing to do with the number of times, but only with the feeling."
"I really regret not meeting you earlier?"
Wang Qi thought of his miserable experience in the past six months for no reason, and said with a slightly ferocious expression: "I regret not meeting you earlier!"
Li Jun smiled and said: "But I took the Wuxu, which is not a big road."
"Wuxu"
Wang Qi's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Coincidentally, I also took this path."
Shen Li raised his hand and patted Wang Qi's shoulder, laughing maliciously.
Wang Qi still knew something about the Wuxu dusk sequence, which was also the first object he excluded when choosing the sequence.
Not to mention that the threshold of this sequence requires pure flesh, which he can no longer meet.
And I heard that this sequence does not get along with the three powerful religions now, and it is a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it.
Although his current priority is to solve the sequence problem and complete the task given to him by Ao Hu. But if he became Wuxu, would he be beaten to death before he could even realize the wish promised by Ao Hu?
If that were the case, it would be a big loss.
"It seems that our fate is still not enough."
Wang Qi said with a shameless face: "That's just the friendship between master and apprentice, we also have the fate of brothers."
"Really stripping pants, Xiao Wang, are you a little too much?"
Just as Shen Li sneered, the door of the wine shop was pushed open again.
Wang Qi turned his head when he heard the voice and was surprised to see that the person who came in was the man he had just bumped into.
What's going on? Is he here to find me? !
Wang Qi followed the other person with a doubtful look, gradually turning from looking back to looking straight.
The man pulled the last empty seat at the square table and sat opposite Wang Qi.
"Mo Xu Rong Lu, I didn't expect to see you two here."
"I've heard of you, the second-in-command of the Central Branch Jianai Institute. You used to be Meng Xi's number one lackey, but now you've switched to Liu Xianzhou's side. What's the point of bringing out a clone? Are you afraid to see anyone?"
Without exchanging glances with Li Jun, Shen Li knew that the person coming was an enemy, not a friend. He leaned back, crossed his legs, and looked at Rong Lu with a bad look.
"I know you, too, Shen Li."
Rong Lu said calmly: "One of the three young heroes of 'Tian Que', the fourth in the martial arts order of the sect, specializing in internal strength, once killed two of the four great black gods of the Jokhang Temple by himself, and now there is a wanted notice for you in the foreign land."
"That's right, you know why you don't get out, wait for me to treat you to a drink?"
Shen Li was domineering and didn't take Rong Lu seriously at all.
"I didn't come to find you today, you are just an accident."
Rong Lu turned his head and looked at Li Jun, his eyes like a deep pool: "And you, are a surprise!"
