Hearing Miaomiao's words, Fang Ze almost couldn't control his expression.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, otherwise, his stunned expression might have been seen by Miaomiao.
While being surprised that the situation was different from what he imagined, Fang Ze calmed down and asked tentatively, "Really? How did you cultivate the awakened ones in such a short period of time?"
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao quickly explained what happened in the past two days with great interest.
It turns out that before the headless black Buddha appeared, there were already some strange phenomena in Miaohua City.
The day before yesterday, since three headless female corpses were discovered, four more headless female corpses were discovered in Miaohua City at the same time.
At that time, the entire Miaohua City was in panic, worried about whether there was some kind of murderous maniac.
Zhixi and Miaomiao also discussed whether to leave Miaohua City with the thousands of believers they had developed.
As a result, before the two could discuss the outcome, black rain suddenly fell from the sky that night.
The black rain was like ink, thick and dark.
But because it was dark night, not many people noticed that there was something wrong with the rainwater at first. It wasn't until someone got caught in the rain and accidentally looked at his face in the mirror when he got home that he discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the rainwater.
At that time, everyone was shocked. No one knew what was happening with the rain or whether there was a problem, so they all went home and hid, not daring to go out. Even if they went out, they would always hold an umbrella.
However, Miaohua City is a low-level city after all. Although most ordinary residents are hiding, there are still some poor people in the slums. Many of them can only sleep on the streets and have no place to live.
Therefore, even though they hid under the eaves of some houses to avoid the rain, in the end, they were still hit by a lot of rain after one night.
So the next day, something strange happened.
Some homeless people and beggars who got caught in the rain found that they seemed to be different from before. It seemed that they suddenly had some strange abilities.
Some can transform into cats, some can breathe fire, some can command insects, and some have their bodies turned into paper and can be reorganized directly.
As a result, the entire Miaohua City was suddenly in chaos.
These tramps and beggars suddenly gained power, and because they had lived at the bottom for a long time, their moods were extremely depressed, so they suddenly began to act unscrupulously, robbing, killing, setting fires, whatever felt good.
Miaohua City was initially hit by this wave, and many people were injured. However, soon, under the joint law enforcement of the security station, the federal garrison and the Bureau of Investigation, these criminals were quickly captured.
However, although the official organization arrested these criminals, the news that one might gain awakening abilities after being exposed to the black rain gradually spread in Miaohua City.
So, that night, when the sun set and the black rain came again, some brave people began to sneak out of the house and began to soak in the rain secretly.
Although the security station has repeatedly issued warnings that the origin of these black rains is unknown, their abilities are unknown, and they may have unimaginable side effects, but awakening abilities is too tempting for people in this world, so there are still many people who ignore the dissuasion.
Go secretly to soak in the rain.
And on the second day, as expected, more people had the ability to awaken.
Soon, rumors gradually spread in Miaohua City, saying that the black rain was because God had taken pity on Miaohua City over the years and wanted to give Miaohua City a great opportunity so that everyone in the Miaohua tribe could become an awakened person! Let Miaohua City
Huacheng has become a powerful city for all awakened people!
Along with this rumor, there is also information about Black Rain.
It is said that this black rain is the rain of laws from the spiritual world. It will fall every night after the sun sets, and it will rain continuously for 2918 days.
Only during these 18 days, those who gain abilities will become a member of the Xinmiao Flower Clan!
This rumor spread very quickly, and soon, most people in the city knew about it. So when it rained again on the third night, more people began to secretly run to the streets to bathe in the black rain.
There are still many people here who did not get the awakening ability in the first two days!
Many people climbed to the roofs of buildings and high platforms in order to be more easily exposed to the rain.
The entire Miaohua City can be said to be in chaos.
In the end, the security station and the federal garrison came forward and imposed military control and curfew on Miaohua City, which finally brought the situation under control.
Hearing this, Fang Ze's brows frowned deeply.
There are so many good things in this world that fall from the sky!
Especially in this magical world with all kinds of weird abilities, every strange opportunity has a price secretly marked on it!
So thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask, "So... you also got caught in the rain? You trained 200 awakened ones by getting soaked in the rain?"
Miaomiao explained in a low voice, "No."
She said, "Actually, from the very beginning, Zhixi and I felt that there was something wrong here and that the black rain was very dangerous. So to be on the safe side, we gathered all our believers and prohibited them from going out."
"Later, Zhixi learned from her father that starting from the second day after the black rain, all external communications in Miaohua City were cut off. This even included the special line of the executive office. Zhixi's father
I was so worried that I didn’t sleep all day and night.”
"So, we feel that this black rain may have a very big problem."
When Fang Ze heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Then how did you cultivate those awakened ones?"
Miaomiao smiled softly and explained, "Because, later we found a turning point."
She said, "That is, there is a special ability experience card in [Devil's Exchange], called Unfair Trading."
"This ability can actually be traded with any living creature. The contents of the transaction include but are not limited to: physical strength, energy, lifespan, martial arts, awakening ability, etc."
"After discovering this ability at [Devil's Exchange], we immediately noticed it!"
"We feel that black rain is likely to have side effects, but those side effects will only affect people who are exposed to the black rain. There is no danger in awakening abilities."
"So, we feel that if we use this ability to 'wash' Black Rain's ability, the side effects are likely to be left on the people who are exposed to the rain, and our own believers will only get the ability, but not the side effects."
"In this way, won't we get a continuous production line of abilities and cultivate awakened ones in batches?"
Hearing this, Fang Ze was completely stunned!
Damn it! These two girls have this card bug! Is this okay?
The problem is, after taking a closer look at this plan, he feels that this plan is really likely to be realized!
Because, this move is so clever!
Not only leave the side effects to others, but also gain the ability!
However, thinking of this, Fang Ze felt a little confused immediately.
He felt that something was still not right.
Indeed, in order to create a bigger pie for his followers, he deliberately linked the [One-day Experience Cards] of several of his abilities to the [Devil's Exchange].
However, he also remembered that the price of the experience card for his ability was very high.
Like the unequal transaction experience card, it can be worth up to 2,000 contribution points.
You know, a Shadow Warrior only has 20 contribution points. An entry-level defensive Noble Phantasm only has 10 contribution points. [One Day Experience Card of Unequal Trading] is equivalent to 100 Shadow Warriors and 200 Defense Noble Phantasms.
.
The rewards for Miaomiao and Zhixi to establish a stronghold in Miaohua City are only 10 points. How can they have so many contribution points to buy experience cards!
I don’t know if he guessed Fang Ze’s thoughts, Miaomiao gave a particularly cute smile, and then said, “I sold my [Darkness] awakening ability! I sold it to the Devil’s Exchange! I got a total of 80,000 contribution points!
"
Fang Ze:???
At that moment, Fang Ze was stunned. He quickly and quietly opened the [Devil's Exchange], and sure enough, in the warehouse of the Devil's Exchange, there was a [Darkness] ability lying quietly.
In other words, Miaomiao didn't lie! She actually sold her abilities completely through the [Devil's Exchange]!
According to the rules of the Devil's Exchange, Fang Ze actually only paid 80,000 worthless "currency" to get a noble-level ability.
This shocked Fang Ze not only at the powerful combination of his abilities, but also at the courage and loyalty of the two girls!
These two girls really dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to themselves.
In order to develop his own power, he really even participated in it!
And just when Fang Ze was thinking this, suddenly, he seemed to hear some different voices from Miaomiao's heart.
He was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Miaomiao with a strange expression, and asked tentatively, "If you sell your ability like this, don't you worry that you will never get such a good ability again in the future?"
Miaomiao pinched her waist slightly, and then said, "Zhixi said it! I'm not selling it, I'm just [pawning] it to get some contribution points for turnover!"
"And we can get contribution points by establishing a stronghold. In theory, if we help Mr. Devil cultivate awakened believers, we should also be rewarded! And it's probably not low!"
"So, as long as we control the cost of borrowing and increase the number of Awakened believers, we will probably not only not lose money, but also make money!"
"After all, the experience card can be used for 24 hours. It's enough for us to borrow two waves of abilities!"
"We have now developed more than 1,000 believers. In one day, we should be able to trade four hundred abilities!"
"If an awakened person contributes 10 points, he can earn 4,000 contribution points. Excluding the cost, each of us can still get 750 contribution points!"
Fang Ze:.
Co-author, are you not only trying to fix the bug of Daheigaluo, but also fixing my bug?
Fang Ze felt that the simple and kind-hearted Miaomiao he originally knew was gone. Well, he must have been led astray by Zhixi!
While thinking this, Fang Ze teased her, "Then don't you worry, after selling your ability, you won't be able to buy it back at all? Or will the price be more expensive?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, a pitiful expression suddenly appeared on Miaomiao's face. She said, "Zhixi also said it. All of this is for the better development of the organization."
"Mr. Devil and Mr. Messenger will not let us suffer!"
Fang Ze:.
It's over, it's over, Fang Ze feels that Miaomiao has been completely corrupted by Zhixi. These schemes are endless, it's like a series of schemes!
Fortunately, Fang Ze confirmed through his inner voice that these were all Zhi Xichu's ideas, and asked Miaomiao to learn them one by one, otherwise Fang Ze would probably think that Miaomiao had really changed.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Ze asked Miaomiao seriously about the situation of those new ability users.
According to Miaomiao, those abilities are all kinds of weird and all kinds. But it is true that so far, no side effects have been found.
When the black rain first came down, the believers of the Devil's Cult were indeed a little uneasy, but due to Zhixi's suppression and the benefits of subsequent abilities, their piety became even higher.
After listening to Miaomiao's story, Fang Ze did not make any comments on their radical behavior. He just handed over the daily necessities he had already purchased to Miaomiao together with his space folding bag.
Immediately afterwards, he checked this period of time [Lair: Junior Shadow Warrior Camp].
During this period of time, this extraordinary treasure has given birth to 18 ordinary shadow warriors and one intermediate shadow warrior. Fang Ze gave them to Miaomiao together so that she could protect her own safety.
Finally, Fang Ze asked Miaomiao and the others to pay attention to their safety, not to act rashly in Miaohua City, and to wait for news and rescue. He also told her that this matter was not that simple.
Miaomiao is more stable than Fang Ze thought.
According to her, she and Zhixi would only let the believers go out to catch the newly born ability users when it didn't rain during the day, and let those ability users "voluntarily" hand over their abilities.
At other times, she and Zhixi hid in the executive hall or a secret base and never went out.
After sighing again, it turns out that these two girls are really in tune with each other. After giving Miaomiao a few more words, Fang Ze disconnected from her.
In this way, after understanding the situation in Miaohua City and knowing that Miaomiao and Zhixi were still safe, Fang Ze felt relieved.
The only thing he is worried about now is Little Bailing. He feels that with Xiao Bailing's character, he is likely to get wet in the black rain.
And once the black rain had any side effects, he really didn't know how to save Xiao Bailing.
In this way, after worrying about Xiao Bailing for a while, Fang Ze was silent for a while, then he came to his senses and came to the table, ready to check the results of tonight's investigation.
Fang Ze, who hadn't gotten anything good for a long time, was very much looking forward to tonight's harvest.
After all, Miaomiao is the goddess of luck. She always gets good things. This time, she might get something good too!
Thinking this, Fang Ze's eyes couldn't help but fall on the table.
What caught my eye was a book. It looked like a dictionary, the size of a hand, but very thick.
Fang Ze gently touched it with his hand.
For a moment, the content of this book appeared in Fang Ze's mind.
【Beauty Book】
"This book is bound to the soul and can be absorbed into the soul. When used, it will transform into a book and appear in the hand."
"This book can seal inanimate objects, treasure phantoms, and living and willing creatures into its pages by setting keywords."
"The strength of the sealed creature cannot exceed the strength of the user. And the greater the number of sealed objects, the stronger the strength, and the more burden it will put on the user's body and soul."
"The sealed creature will retain the state of the seal at the moment, and will no longer emit any breath, taste, etc."
"When the keyword is automatically sealed, the owner of the book does not need to be present."
After seeing this book, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised!
Sure enough, something good came out!
Although spatial abilities and noble phantoms are not uncommon in this world, it also depends on how powerful they are.
Noble phantoms like [Book of Beauty] are obviously very powerful.
Not only can it seal items, but it can also seal living things, which is rare!
Moreover, it can directly trigger the keyword seal without human control, which is even more rare.
Fang Ze almost instantly thought of this book and used it in more than a dozen different ways.
But isn’t the name [Book of Beauty] a little too serious?
Wasn't this book originally invented to seal beauties into the book, so that when you want to use it, you can just turn over the sign and take it out like an emperor?
Of course, I am a gentleman! I won’t do this! I want to use it to do business!
Fang Ze thought that he could soul-bind the book first, and then give the book to Miaomiao or Zhixi. Let them use the book as a refuge.
Once drastic changes occur in Miaohua City, then they can at least take their believers and hide in books to protect and hide themselves!
Thinking of this, Fang Ze bound the soul of this book, then he removed the disguise of the room, looked at the pile of debris in the room, and thought.
Suddenly, the book in his hand suddenly opened, and the pages made a rustling sound. A faint fluorescence suddenly appeared on those items, and then disappeared for a moment.
At the same time, the entire late-night investigation room suddenly became clear, and the beauty book was suddenly closed.
Fang Ze opened the book and checked it out, and sure enough, there were dozens of pictures of dozens of sundries on the first dozens of pages. Not only were each picture lifelike, they even had simple names and introductions on them.
“This is much easier to use than a space folding bag!”
While feeling this way, Fang Ze closed the book.
Immediately, the book turned into a dot of fluorescence and disappeared in Fang Ze's hands. Fang Ze felt his soul sink and knew that the beauty book should have been taken into his soul!
"Good stuff!"
With the joy of the harvest, Fang Ze sat on the table and prepared to return to the real world: Although Miaomiao was safe for the time being, he could not let down his guard!
He still had to deal with the Flower God tonight, so he could get her help and try his best to figure out what the headless black Buddha and the black rain were, so that he could feel at ease!
Thinking like this, Fang Ze sent a telepathic message to Jun, asking Jun to shake him awake.
For a moment, as Jun shook and woke up, Fang Ze felt that the entire late-night investigation room began to shake. Two seconds later, when he came to his senses, he had returned to the real world.
I observed the position of the Flower God with my empty eyes: At this time, the Flower God was still sticking to the edge of the window, watching him carefully.
