The seal is a palm-sized clock-like figure, with a red light in the center flickering continuously. After floating in the air for a while, it burrowed into the ground.
Lin Xin stood in the alley and waited quietly.
Ling'er and Xiaoliu at the entrance of the alley didn't know what was going on, so they had no choice but to follow his instructions and wait.
After a while, a man wearing a gray robe and a facial mask slowly floated down from the entrance of the alley.
The man glanced at the two people at the alley, walked in without saying anything.
"This is the contact point? Is this your contact seal?"
He asked Lin Xin directly.
Turning around, Lin Xin nodded slightly.
"Honghua, I'm here for the first time, and I plan to pay a visit to the branch here."
"I am the spirit rat in charge of Area D and Area B. Taking you to the branch is considered a task?" The other party said lightly without any emotion in his tone.
"So." Lin Xin nodded.
"How much is the reward?"
"Just follow the standard price.",
"Okay, two yuan of jade or three yuan of gold."
"No problem." Lin Xin was a little unhappy. The other party actually charged him such a high price for such a trivial matter as leading the way. Is this person afraid that he is so short of money that he is shameless?
Seemingly sensing Lin Xin's unhappiness, the man paused for a moment and said.
"Fellow Taoist has just arrived here. This is the rule here. Everything is paid. You may not be used to many places, but it really only recognizes money and not people. As for the kind of justice in other branches
Hot blood doesn't work here."
"Thank you for your advice." Lin Xin said calmly, "Please lead the way."
The man nodded, turned around and walked out.
Lin Xin, Ling'er and Xiaoliu followed together.
The four of them walked through the street and soon arrived at a sloping block. The entire street was selling various dolls and inflatable toys.
Every few shops you can see a big black turtle sleeping on the ground. The black turtle's nostrils are much larger than ordinary turtles, and there is only one hole. Large streams of air spurt out from the nostrils.
Each of these big black turtles is more than two meters long and one meter wide, and almost all of them are sleeping. Occasionally, one or two of the turtles that are awake look gentle, with their heads drooped and motionless. They only move if someone pushes them hard.
Lin Xin and others saw many people coming out of the shop, holding inflatable dolls or balloon-like skin bags in their hands. They put the mouth on the black turtle's nostrils, and then saw the skin balls rapidly inflating like balloons.
.In just a few breaths, it swelled to the height of a person.
The cheers of children were endless. The whole street was very lively, and many parents came to play with their children.
The man led Lin Xin and the others up the slope to the largest house in the house. The house was not marked with any nameplate or plaque. There was only a huge black balloon with a diameter of more than five meters tied with thin strings in the open-air courtyard inside.
The balloon is suspended in mid-air, fluttering slightly with the wind.
The door of the house was open, and many people were coming in and out. The man walked to the door and turned around.
"This is it. You can go in by yourselves. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
Lin Xin nodded, took out jade coins from his storage bag and gave him the reward. The man turned around and left without saying a word.
There were many people coming in and out of this house, and some people even wore ornaments with the word "Guangyao" on their chests. Looking in from the door, you could see a small table placed in the yard. Some people gathered around the table and asked what they were talking about.
The people sitting inside seemed to be taking the trouble to answer in very non-standard Chinese dialect.
Lin Xin led the two of them inside and headed directly to the lobby behind the courtyard like many others.
Entering the lobby, people were coming and going, some people were queuing up, and each one was registering and saying something in front of a chubby middle-aged woman.
"Thirty gold!? According to the rules, mine is fifty gold! Du Sanniang, I don't care if you deduct more money on weekdays, but now I have an urgent need for money. Isn't it a bit unkind of you to do this?" One person seemed to be because
I got into an argument with the fat woman about money, and my voice became louder unconsciously.
"Am I deducting from you? Is your little thing worth depriving me of? Boy Wang, do you think too highly of yourself?" The fat woman said loudly, not to be outdone, "These are the rules here. If you obey the rules, you can come in. No."
Alright? Okay, just roll over there and get out of there! Our Guangyao branch doesn’t need you to be so fussy about things.”
"I care about everything?!"
The man immediately became angry and started arguing with the fat woman.
The two of them were shouting loudly in the lobby, and the content was nothing more than all kinds of trivial bargaining.
Lin Xin glanced at the side, then walked directly towards an old man sitting on the right side drinking tea leisurely. There was a small sign on the small round table in front of the old man. It read: Inquiry Office.
"I came from another branch and wanted to take the airship of this branch. I don't know." His voice penetrated the old man's ears accurately.
The guy's eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, opened slightly. He looked Lin Xin up and down.
"Where to go?"
"To the Far West."
"There are fifty-three points in the Far West that you can go to. Which one do you want to go to?"
"Uh." Lin Xin was suddenly stunned. Realizing that he was not fully prepared, he was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there a map over there?"
"One piece of hardware."
"You also have information about this branch and an introduction to the operation methods here. Can you tell me in detail?" Lin Xin quickly got a few jade coins in his hand and gently put them on the table and pushed them over.
The old man put it away calmly and nodded slightly.
"In this branch, the rules are transactions."
He pinched the three-inch mustache on his chin.
"You accept the mission in exchange for reward. You do the mission and pay the reward, and we take a commission. As for the type of mission, it can be to find someone, it can be to entrust a wish, it can be anything weird, or it can even be to buy a murderer. Of course.
The targets have certain requirements, and most of them are people who have done many evil things, or have bloody hands. Don't worry about this."
"What about the others? I came all the way here because I heard there was a confrontation with the Red Sect."
"Red Sect? It will be solved sooner or later. There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money." The old man said calmly. "Go to the taskbar."
"Okay, then where do we look at the tasks? At the same time, how do we ensure that our interests are not damaged?"
Lin Xin decisively changed the subject and asked about other things.
Ling'er and Xiaoliu stood on the side respectfully, not daring to show off at all. No one who came in and out here was a good person, and everyone had the lowest aura of a Xin-level master. This made Ling'er, especially, feel a faint feeling in his heart.
It's a bit hairy. From time to time, masters with unpredictable auras come in and out, but they are just like ordinary people, but no one cares.
Their only reliance was to follow Lin Xin closely, not daring to say anything nonsense.
Lin Xin had inquired carefully and originally thought he could meet the head of the branch here.
But I didn't expect that the branch director here had already gone to the east headquarters of Naxi Center for a meeting many days in advance. In fact, this is just a branch in the sub-urban area.
From the old man's mouth, he learned that there are more than a dozen such branches in Naxi. He also roughly understood that in Naxi, the branches have been reduced to simple task handover platforms, while in the Guangyao Society, they are essentially
In pursuit of ideals, there is no trace here.
This is quite in line with his inner expectations. Those inexplicable justices are meaningless to him. All he wants to do is to break through himself, and living well first is the most important thing. As for other people, he can help others when he has spare time.
It's okay for a while, as long as you have enough energy.
According to the old man's introduction, it will be easier to join Guangyao here. If you pay some money, you can get a badge, and then you can freely assign and accept tasks in the branch.
When there is no limit on the number of people who can complete a task, many people can complete it together, and whoever completes it first gets paid. The operation mechanism is simple and crude, but it has its own secret audit method.
There are so many branch members here, and most people join more than one organization. They have various identities, such as Dixiu Society and Kyodo Society, all just to make it easier to accept tasks and make money.
In addition, Lin Xin also learned that the Guangyao Society here did not require distraction to become the Heavenly Lord of the Universe.
The old man's original words were.
"Huanyu Tianzun? That is a treatment that only core members have. With the protection of Huanyu Tianzun, if you contribute enough to the association, you can directly summon Tianzun to distract you to help you. The light of Tianzun is everywhere."
Lin Xin had a clear position in his heart. It was obvious that most of the members of the Guangyao Society here were ordinary peripheral members. At that time, he was specially invited because he had a skill and was the master of a force, and he directly became an official member.
Core members. So it is different. In addition, he has always been worried that when he was in Huagu, he was originally going to help, but he also killed people in his own guild, and he might be punished by the Heavenly Lord Huanyu.
.
But until now, there are no signs of anything unusual.
It is estimated that either this kind of punishment is simply scary, or something happened somewhere in the middle and they were unable to find him.
After a preliminary understanding of the situation, he asked the old man for a map of the locations of all Naxi branches, and then found the location of the Naxi headquarters on it.
After getting everything he wanted to know, he registered his code name with the old man and left the branch with Xiaoliu and Ling'er.
After wandering around the city for a while, the three of them found an advertisement for a house for sale from a notice on the roadside wall. They followed the address recorded on the advertisement and asked for directions until they found the place where the house was being sold.
"Fifteen dollars in black gold, no two prices." The old woman selling the house said with a leaky mouth. The old guy was holding a white lantern with a big word "death" written on it. It looked very strange. He was obviously a monk.
After casually negotiating the price, Ling'er stepped forward to bargain and reduced the price to two-thirds of the original price.
The jade money snatched from those people killed before was soon reduced to only a dozen yuan. A piece of black gold is equivalent to a floating price of shellfish ranging from several thousand to ten thousand. It is almost the same if it is replaced by spiritual jade. This time
This consumed all the remaining spiritual jade that Lin Xin had.
The remaining money is obviously not enough for them to live for a long time, according to the prices here. (To be continued.)
