Chapter 2 The Prisoner's Way

Chapter 2 The Prisoner’s Path

The vision of the dice flashed by.

Zheng Xiu looked carefully and could no longer clearly see himself in the center of the dice.

He couldn't even remember "his" posture, expression, and appearance clearly.

The only thing I remember is that "my" butt is particularly round, resembling the sixteenth full moon.

Zheng Xiu held it silently and looked at the small words twisting like earthworms on the scroll:

【Host】:【Zheng Xiu】

【Gateway】:【Prisoner】

[Derivative]: [Being in jail and looking at the sky (first glimpse of the door)]

[Talent]: [No businessman, no treachery (first glimpse of the door)]

[Experience]: None

I can't see any information.

Zheng Xiu rubbed it and smelled it. The paper had a skin feel and was extremely delicate. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.

He tried to press his fingers on each line of text.

Until the third line, Zheng Xiu looked like a spam advertisement pop-up window, and the corresponding explanation information popped up——

[Looking at the sky while in prison (first glimpse of the door)] You are in prison, but your heart is outside the prison. Looking at the vastness of the world, you sigh at the insignificance of yourself.

[No businessman, no traitor (first glimpse of the door)] As the saying goes, no businessman, no traitor, and you are the tyrant among traitors. When you throw a point, there is a certain probability of triggering "opportunism", which doubles the points.

Master Zheng suddenly became furious.

Mr. Zheng is a well-known conscientious wealthy businessman.

Zheng Xiu sneered and refused to deny it. Following the word "point", his eyes involuntarily fell on the red dice on the table again.

When he was young, Zheng Xiu tried hard to find various methods of cultivation to no avail, so he settled for mediocrity and became a simple and wealthy businessman.

Just like a flower picker who feels calm after experiencing a storm, Zheng Xiu calmed down from the excitement in his heart. At this moment, he was as calm as a sage, carefully considering this "golden finger" that appeared out of thin air.

"I've been here for so many years, why can't I just show up now?"

The more he looked at it, the more familiar the motionless dice became.

Watch it again.

Think through your thoughts.

"Prisoner?"

The more Zheng Xiu looked at the red dice, the more familiar it became. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he reached out and touched the small pimple on his forehead.

This was a cranial deformity that was present when he was born, with a slight bulge in the center of his forehead that was not obvious.

When he was a child, he heard that his father had asked a fortune teller for his fortune after he was born, and he said that it was "full of heaven" and a "lucky sign", but it was a bit sharp.

"Is it the board game dice that killed me in my previous life??"

Zheng Xiu was suddenly startled. After twenty years, he finally remembered the origin of the dice and it suddenly became clear.

"Prisoner? Prisoner...Prisoner!"

Zheng Xiu slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

As the name suggests, it turns out that this can only be triggered by "going to jail"!

Li Liyuan’s score!

I have been a law-abiding citizen for so many years, and now you are telling me that I have to go to jail to trigger this?

If he hadn't been imprisoned unexpectedly, as the richest man, he would have had to wait until the Year of the Monkey to experience a day trip to prison?

Zheng Xiu was in a mixed mood of joy and sorrow. He thought about it for a while, then he made peace with it and picked up the dice on the table.

Although the terrifying vision when the dice appeared was always lingering in Zheng Xiu's mind.

But Zheng Xiu remembered some novels he had read twenty years ago. Some magic weapons would always do something weird when they appeared on the stage, shaking the host to improve their own skills. But in the end, they might end up "as fierce as a tiger in one operation."

Seeing the result of "2.5 damage", thinking of this, Zheng Xiu felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, and he would deal with it later.

Moreover, he has been deeply involved in this world for twenty years and knows that there are no extraordinary phenomena in this parallel time and space. At most, there are some strong practitioners who can crush this place with just a few golden fingers. Combined with his status as the richest man

, money ability and superpower complement each other, isn't it as stable as a lid within a lid?

Zheng Xiu secretly thought that it was okay, but when Zheng Xiu's finger came into contact with the dice, Zheng Xiu only felt a pain in his finger. The strange thing opened a mouth full of sharp teeth and bit his finger, drawing blood.

dripping.

In a daze, Zheng Xiu blinked, and the sharp teeth, bloody mouth, and mouth all disappeared without a trace, as if they were hallucinations.

Zheng Xiu stared blankly at the dice in his palm and saw the yellowed paper roll spread out on the table.

The sky is round, the places are criss-crossed with vertical and horizontal blood lines, and dim dots appear on the table one by one.

The interlaced blood lines are like a coordinate axis.

At the center of the coordinate axis, there is a vaguely-faced villain, like a puppet, standing proudly and motionless.

Immediately afterwards, one of the small dots on the right side of the villain bulged slightly, glowing with a faint black light, like a shelled preserved egg, set on the table, shining with oil.

Zheng Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, preserved egg...ah no, two lines of twisted small characters appeared on the small light spot.

【Ghost】:【Bai Li Village】

[Difficulty]: [Start of the day]

Zheng Xiu did not move.

He has entered the state and gradually understood the situation.

But Zheng Xiu is still puzzled by two points.

One,

For some reason, the cause of his death in his previous life accompanied him into this world.

It's just that for so many years, he has been out of jail and has never been activated.

[Prisoner] is not only his current identity, but also a certain [pathway].

But what makes Zheng Xiu wonder is, if this golden finger is activated through some kind of "identity" of Zheng Xiu, why is it not activated by things like [richest man], [good man], [macho man]? These are obvious in Zheng Xiu.

It is clear at a glance that the factor that cannot be ignored is that it is only after becoming a prisoner that one becomes a [prisoner].

"The 'doorway'...isn't it fixed?"

After pondering for a long time, Zheng Xiu was speechless and came to a conclusion.

As for the second one,

It is this strange "White Carp Village".

Zheng Xiu dare not say that he knows everything in the world, but he has been doing business for so many years, and his business is not limited to just one imperial city. Wherever there are business opportunities, there is Zheng's industry.

If the "little man" in the center of the map represents the imperial city, then the location of "Bai Li Village" is approximately east of Yanzhou, among the lush mountains.

"Maybe it's an unknown village with no commercial roads."

Zheng Xiu was sure that he had never heard of Baili Village in his memory, so he could only give it up for now.

"Cough cough cough."

At this time, several dry coughs were heard from the inmates in the cell opposite. Zheng Xiu closed and opened his eyes, and his consciousness drifted out of the "heart prison". When he opened his eyes, he returned to the cell again.

In the darkness, the inmates in the cell opposite huddled together, seemingly sick, and coughed for a long time.

Zheng Xiu would never be too sentimental to convey useless concerns to the other party. After confirming that the "heart prison" could be entered and exited at will, he closed his eyes again. When he opened his eyes, Zheng Xiu had returned to the card table.

The location of [Ghost: Baili Village] was hazy in a layer of light black mist. Zheng Xiu held the dice and prepared to do something.

As soon as he thought about it, Zheng Xiu had a vague feeling of being connected to the "little man" on the table.

Another piece of paper floated in front of Zheng Xiu from the void. After ignoring the weirdness in it, in Zheng Xiu's eyes, it seemed that there were business opportunities everywhere, which made his eyes light up.

I saw many blank spaces on the paper that came to me. Memories from twenty years ago came to mind. Zheng Xiu recognized that this seemed to be the [Character Card] he used to prepare before playing board games.

Board games, dice, villains, character cards, White Carp Village.

The word "running group" flashed through Zheng Xiu's mind in silence. He was alert while taking the [Character Card].

The moment he took the character card, Zheng Xiu felt a pain in the sky, and a lot of information was forcefully poured into his mind.

"It's a 'rule'..."

Zheng Xiu complained and covered his forehead. This thing just came in, and he didn't know how to be gentle and moist before talking.

soon.

Zheng Xiu, who has lived in two lives, seems to have returned to his previous life. Under the guidance of the "rules", he simply made a cool face based on his appearance, then filled in "birth" and "age", and the rest was just a shake.

It's just a matter of shaking.

"No, in a more down-to-earth way, this is called 'incarnation'."

Start shaking!

【You are opportunistic!】

【You are opportunistic!】



【Name】Zheng Shan

【Born】Painter

【Age】Thirty-two (in the prime of life)

[Strength] Nineteen (Kong Wu is strong)

[Footwork] Four (clumsy movements)

[Physique] Three (weak and sickly)

[Appearance] Thirty-six (unparalleledly handsome, extraordinary, unparalleled in the world)

【Will】Thirty (loyal and strong)

[Luck] Eleven (small blessing)

【Physique】Twenty (huge and strong)

[Knowledge] Twelve (Extreme knowledge but not mastery)



After shaking it all the way, Zheng Xiu was barely satisfied with the final points of the incarnation. The dice had twenty sides, and the points ranged from "one" to "twenty." For Zheng Xiu, the number of points reaching ten was considered a guarantee.

The rest are average, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, [Appearance] and [Will] trigger Zheng Xiu's [No Merchant, Not Evil], directly doubling the critical hit.

What makes Zheng Xiu depressed is that [Footwork] and [Physique] have almost hit the bottom. The overall incarnation gives Zheng Xiu a very unscientific feeling.

The basic attributes of the incarnation are complete, and the next step is the acquired characteristics of the avatar.

Zheng Xiu can choose three items according to his will and insert them into the blank space of the incarnation.

Zheng Xiu thought about it over and over again. He still didn't know what he would experience in Baili Village, but the word "ghost" always made Zheng Xiu's eyelids jump. In the end, Zheng Xiu chose between "leveraging strengths" and "avoiding weaknesses".

I chose "avoiding shortcomings" and used the convex points of acquired characteristics to make up for the concave points.

Yin and Yang are in harmony.

[Investigation (a little understanding of the situation)] If you pay close attention to details, you will be able to see clues that ordinary people cannot see.

[Medical Science (Slightly Knowledge of Fur)] You were born in a Xinglin family, but your family fell into decline. Your parents died early and there was no time to pass on the mantle. You have learned medical science by yourself through family classics. You can easily treat superficial injuries and identify some wild herbs.

[Intuition (first glimpse of the door)] You have had a difficult life. You experienced displacement when you were young, and your family was destroyed. You have a vigilance that is different from ordinary people, which can make you aware of dangers that may come, but they rarely happen. 】

[Reconnaissance] and [Intuition] are two items, one active and one passive, which can detect danger in advance. In Zheng Xiu's opinion, it is very cost-effective.

As for [Medical], his incarnation of "Zheng Dashanren" is already weak and sick. No matter how little he knows about medical skills, he is afraid that he will be blown to death by a cold wind when he goes out.

Everything is done.

On the table, the little man named "Zheng Shan" suddenly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, those eyes flashed with cold light, like lightning and dew, and the clothes fluttered by themselves, forcing the wind to hit his face.

I saw "Zheng Shan" on the table, coughing dryly, and striding towards "Bai Li Village".
