Chapter 2 A fish slipped through the net!

After the Lantern Festival, the north wind disappears and the rivers thaw.

All the shops in Daxing City, the new capital, are open. The streets are neatly crisscrossed from north to south. Pedestrians are walking on the pavement paved with stone slabs, and there is an endless stream of footsteps.

Outside the Huichun Hall, Mo Shili, who had a delicate face and a slightly thin figure, was wrapped in a sheepskin jacket and a rabbit skin hat. He was holding his shoulders and half leaning against the wall.

Under the warm sunshine, Mo Shili narrowed his eyes seemingly contentedly, but in fact, his muscles all over his body were tense and his heart was filled with tension.

He listened with rapt attention to the conversation between the so-called uncle and the owner of Huichun Hall.

"Hundred-hundred-year ginseng?"

"Exactly!"

"Come, come into the inner hall and serve tea quickly. Serve good tea."

The boss of Huichun Hall's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, but then dropped quickly.

This was the seventh time in the past half month that Mo Shili had heard that tone of surprise and fear.

Either in a medical clinic, a drug store, or wherever they stay, this kind of drama will be staged every two or three days.

Mo Shili could recite the content of the conversation backwards and forwards.

But even so, Mo Shili still dared not slack off and tried his best not to miss a word.

Because this is related to his life.

He is not from this world.

He came here as a 'player'.

The 'uncle' in Huichun Hall is naturally the same.

The so-called uncle-nephew relationship between the two is naturally false.

The real relationship between the two is one in which the 'rookie' is forced by the 'senior' to sign a 'cooperation contract'

That 'uncle' is the 'senior'.

He, Mo Shili, is a 'rookie'.

A rookie who has just completed the 'rookie trial' and entered the 'huge city' in order to find his sister.

"well!"

Mo Shili let out a sigh full of unwillingness from the bottom of his heart.

In that 'rookie trial', he gained a lot.

This made him think that his fortune was in good hands, and made him full of confidence in finding his sister and even resurrecting his parents in the future.

But what followed was a blow that caught him off guard - in order to find his sister faster, and in order to better face the future 'Dungeon World', he started selling the proceeds from the 'Rookie Trial', and then...

He was targeted!

Mo Shili believed that he was not a reckless person, and he was even more cautious when selling. He distributed the items to several blocks to sell them, and he always dressed up in disguise.

But who would have thought that the boss behind those blocks would be the same person.

What was even more unexpected was that after the other party spotted him, they did not hesitate at all and took action directly to force him into a desperate situation.

Or die.

Or sign a contract.

Mo Shili didn't want to die, so he signed the contract.

In accordance with the contract requirements, he handed over the points, skill points, and all equipment and props he had just earned, just like the rookies who had been targeted by the opponent.

But unlike those rookies, Mo Shili didn't believe in the so-called 'cooperation contract' at all.

According to the agreement, he and the other party entered the current "dungeon world" and successfully passed through it. After handing over all the proceeds, he would be free, and the other party would never take the initiative to attack him within three years.

Let's not talk about how much "smooth passage" in the contract is considered to be "smooth". The power that the other party controls in the "huge city" is enough to make it easy for the other party to kill him without having to take action himself.

.

You know, he's just a rookie.

Is there any difference between a bullet in the head and a knife in the heart?

It's all fatal!

Therefore, he must save himself.

Leaning against the wall, Mo Shili thought again, his eyes couldn't help but look at the words that only he could see——

[Background: A dynasty established by special means is bound to have disasters. Under various mysterious rumors, careerists are peering at the throne. Guys who have lost everything are like injured beasts hiding in the dark. The emperor who ascends to the treasure is absolutely

I will not give up everything I have now! There are undercurrents in the markets, temples and rivers and lakes, and you, who are weak, should not be here at all...]

[Main mission: Survive for 3 days (completed)]

[Acquire a temporary language and disappear automatically when leaving the instance]

[The properties of clothing, backpacks, weapons, and items remain unchanged, and their appearance is temporarily changed, and will be automatically restored when leaving the instance]

(Tip 1: The main mission has been completed. If you stay in a team, you need to pay an additional 100 points every day. According to the contract, it will be paid by the captain ‘Xiao’)

(Tip 2: For firearms that are beyond their time, explosives will reduce their power and should be displayed in a reasonable manner)

(Tip 3: If you are too weak, the triggering rate of side tasks will increase, and the task rewards will increase)

(Tip 4: Do not disclose any illegal information to the indigenous people, otherwise it will be erased)

…

"well!"

Mo Shili's eyes scanned the text in front of him back and forth, and after finally staying on [Prompt 4] for a long time, he sighed again in his heart, and more unwillingness and struggle appeared in his eyes.

That 'senior man' is not a generous person.

Pay and income must be directly proportional.

The opponent who spends an extra 100 points every day must be planning to earn a hundred times or a thousand times the income.

And his role?

Naturally, it is to make it better and more convenient for the other party to obtain such income.

【Tip 3】It has already explained everything.

Can……

The other party's greed is never-ending!

The next moment, the sound of footsteps sounded in his ears, drawing Mo Shili's attention back.

The two people in the Rejuvenation Hall beside him walked out slowly.

"Talk? Talk some more?"

Boss Li, who usually has his eyes set high above his head, had a hint of pleading in his tone.

But the middle-aged visitor was unmoved and just raised his hands and fists at Boss Li again.

"You stay."

"You know where we will stay. If you raise enough money, come find us and we will stay until the second day of February."

After saying that, he handed the box in his hand to Mo Shili who was standing aside, then turned around and left.

Mo Shili nodded towards Boss Li, but held the box tightly, as if he was afraid of being robbed, looking like a country boy who was very cautious but had never seen the world.

Watching the two people leave, Boss Li chased them down the steps.

This is already a bit presumptuous.

But, there is nothing we can do!

Centennial ginseng is so rare!

Apart from hearing it from his father, this was the first time Boss Li had seen him.

The ginseng, with all its beard and tail, was as white as jade. Although it did not take the shape of a human like the rumored thousand-year-old ginseng, just smelling it made him energetic. The malaise caused by staying up late during the New Year a few days ago was instantly gone.

.

nice one!

Really good stuff!

Boss Li wants it.

But, the money is not enough.

One hundred taels of gold!
