When you step into the city, in addition to the streets full of retro-style buildings, you will see many small vendors setting up a long list of stalls on both sides of the main road, hawking their goods, which is dazzling:
"Bleeding clover can stop bleeding and remove blood stasis. Each plant only sells for fifty copper coins, and is sold in large quantities!"
"The Gale Leopard I just hunted is a first-level mid-level mysterious beast. The skin of the leopard is three silver coins per foot, and the flesh and blood is ten silver coins per pound!"
"The rhinoceros-armored bear's mysterious crystal, this is the elementary high-grade mysterious beast's mysterious crystal. It's the only one available. It's priced at fifteen gold. If you want to buy it, hurry up!"
…
When Chen Shen passed by a small stall in the corner, his footsteps suddenly stopped!
"What's wrong, young master?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing. I suddenly thought of something to do. Ling'er, Mr. Shun, you go home first, I'll be back later." Chen Shen said without doubt.
The old man and the young man felt strange in their hearts, but they nodded politely and left first.
When the two of them gradually faded away, Chen Shen pretended to be casual and came to a small stall in a corner. He pointed at a few carved snakes in iron cages and asked, "How do you sell this?"
"
The stall owners who had been drowsy at first became energetic when they saw that business came to their door. Although the customer was young but well-dressed (it is important to be well-dressed when being buried), he immediately became energetic and boasted: "Young master, you have good eyesight! This flower-carved snake has great eyesight."
The meat is juicy and delicious, perfect for grilling in your spare time!"
The things that this stall owner put out for sale today were really hard to come by. They were all wild rabbits, snakes, scorpions and the like.
For ordinary people, these "games" may be soaked in medicinal wine and eaten as a meaty meal.
But for warriors, this kind of food is really not very pleasing.
Because the most important thing for warriors is the improvement of Xuan Qi cultivation. If you eat the flesh and blood of Xuan beasts, it will have the effect of strengthening the menstrual bones, consolidating Qi and cultivating the vitality. But such ordinary snakes, rabbits and other game are difficult to
"Inferior food" that caught the eye of a warrior.
Now, someone finally takes a fancy to his "inferior" goods, and judging from the clothes, he should be quite rich. No wonder the stall owner was so excited.
Chen Shen smiled mysteriously and waved his hand proudly: "I want all the carved snakes in your cage! Make a price!"
In fact, Chen Shen only really wanted one carved snake, and now he bought a cage of them just to deceive others.
"You are so honored by your distinguished guest. I won't let you play tricks on me. There are seven carved snakes in one cage, and I will give you five silver coins!"
This is the difference between ordinary beasts and mysterious beasts.
The Gale Leopard sold over there, a foot of leopard skin costs three silver coins, and a pound of leopard meat costs ten silver coins! And the cage full of carved snakes in front of me weighs at least thirty or forty pounds, and only costs five silver coins in total.
Chen Shen generously took out ten silver coins and said, "Give me two of the wild rabbits over there. By the way, sell me your meat-cutting knife too!"
"Okay! Thank you for your patronage!" The vendor happily helped Chen Shen pick out two plump hares and handed them to Chen Shen along with the ordinary meat cleaver on the chopping board.
In the hawker's mind, this business was worth it! The young man was very generous and paid double the price! Why not part with two worthless hares and a meat cleaver?
of?
However, what he didn't know was that the young man was a thousand times, ten thousand times more excited than the hawker!
…
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
In a guest room of a tavern in the North District of Kowloon City, a young man was holding a meat cleaver and tinkering with a lifeless carved snake on the tea table, with a look of great anticipation on his face!
If others were to see this scene, they would definitely say that they are mentally ill, insane, or mentally ill.
But in fact, this snake that was ruthlessly dissected by non-professional techniques was Chen Shen's biggest gain!
It turned out that when Chen Shen first entered Kowloon City, the cries of roadside vendors gave him a very familiar feeling.
After thinking for a long time, he finally found the reason: "Hemostasis Clover, Gale Leopard, and that rhinoceros bear. The appearance and names of these animals and plants are exactly the same as those in the game I tested before crossing over.
!”
Then, by chance, he happened to be in such a corner stall and caught a glimpse of the eagle snake with a silver-white tail tip!
In the game he tested in his previous life, carved snakes were very common, and he had no experience in killing many of them. It was estimated that only players with the "Chef" life skill would catch them as cooking ingredients.
However, a carved snake with a silver-white tail tip is very different!
Because the three-inch white tail of this carved snake has extremely magical effects:
Before the tenth level of a character, swallowing three inches of the white meat from the snake's tail alive can increase the character's defense tenfold based on the current attributes! Taking it after the tenth level is ineffective. Chen Shen feels that his own current cultivation level
, definitely not enough to reach level ten.
All the previous events cannot be a coincidence. So, if I swallow the tail of the carved snake alive, will it also bring corresponding benefits to him?
For example, the defense is greatly increased, invulnerable to weapons, water and fire?
If it’s true, you’ll make a lot of money!
But if it's fake...
Anyway, Chen Shen didn't ask the invincible system what happened, but in the end he decided to give it a try.
If you don't even have this bit of courage and rely on the invincible system to make decisions for you in everything, what's the difference between you and a puppet who is manipulated by others?
Chen Shen understands that in this world where respect is based on martial arts, the Invincible System can only be his best assistant and can never be the master of his host. Otherwise, it won't be long before he loses himself and becomes a puppet of the system.
slave.
Taking a deep breath, the boy held his breath, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth - "Gudu!"
The bloody three-inch snake tail was put into the mouth, and he swallowed it directly without even chewing it!
A fishy smell came out of the nose, and my stomach was churning!
However, this is not the most uncomfortable part, the most torturous part has just begun: the energy contained in the snake's tail enters the body.
Chen Shen immediately felt as if every muscle and vein in his body was being eaten by countless insects and ants!
Every piece of skin was as hot as a soldering iron, and the internal organs felt like they were being stirred crazily with a stir stick!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The pain of swallowing the snake's tail alive almost didn't kill him!
At this moment, the boy's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was convulsing, and he looked up to the sky and screamed in pain!
This is why Chen Shen sent away Shun Lao and Ling'er. He didn't want them to worry when they saw him in pain.
Chen Shen clearly remembered that when he was testing the game in his previous life, he also took such a piece of Huadiao Snake Tail.
Among them, there is such a simple text description: "Swallow it alive, the energy will flow into the five internal organs, connect the six internal organs, travel thirty-three tendons, and cross seventy-two meridians. The pain will be excruciating!"
At that time, Chen Shen just looked at the literal meaning and was not deeply touched.
And now, he is personally experiencing this unimaginable pain!
