Yu Sheng ran back to the inn in one breath. Just as he was about to take a breath, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to his ears:
If the host successfully rescues the lost child, the host will be rewarded with 100 merit points.
"What the hell?" Yu Sheng was startled and looked around.
The cold voice continued to sound: Youyaoqi Inn system is on.
"Inn system!?" Yu Sheng was surprised, but soon felt relieved. Soul travel and ghosts had come out, so a system was not surprising.
As he continued to listen, the voice disappeared.
"Is it over?" After a long moment of silence, Yu Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"The system will come up with it as soon as it comes to mind. Please let the host explore on his own." the cold system said.
Then a computer-like operation page appeared in front of Yu Sheng's eyes.
The system is very crude.
"Youyaoqi Inn" has a complete record of everything, divided into categories such as kitchen, lobby, guest room, backyard, vegetable field, water well, etc.
The innkeeper's column says Yu Sheng, and below are the levels, merit points, cards...
Wait. Yu Sheng stared at the cards, "What the hell is this, a card game, a chess and card room?"
The system is silent.
For the rest of my life, I can only look at the future. [The ultimate goal] is to make Youyaoqi Inn the best in the world.
I curled my lips for the rest of my life. The world is so big and endless, and there is no selection organization. I don’t know how to become the best in the world.
His eyes returned to the cards, and he clicked on the card column. He saw that the cards were classified by stars, and currently only one star was unlocked.
One star only unlocks one card, called the simulation card, which requires 100 merit points to redeem.
There is a text description under the simulation card:
Simulation card, a one-time consumable, copies the one-star target skill. Using this card consumes one hundred merit points.
"Copy skills?" Yu Sheng was delighted.
This world is full of strange things. There are legends about fairies, ghosts, demons and foxes. There are also many people who have conquered demons and exterminated them. If they could copy one or two of their skills, they would be very powerful.
He was about to redeem it, but suddenly he realized that he only had one hundred merit points, so even if he redeemed it, he wouldn't be able to use it.
It's so deceptive. The merit points gained from saving a life can only be redeemed for one card, and once redeemed, it cannot be used.
Now Yu Sheng was not in a hurry. He opened the kitchen column and was looking carefully when a person walked in from the door.
This man was dressed in rags, with a copper coin strung with a red thread hanging around his neck, and a wooden sheath sword hanging on his waist.
He was holding a bamboo cage in his hand, and there was a little white fox in the cage.
Obviously, he couldn't see the screen in front of Yu Sheng, so he picked up a seat and sat down, "Waiter, bring me any good wine or food!"
As soon as I stopped thinking about the rest of my life, the screen disappeared.
He was in the stage of making ends meet. Seeing the shabby appearance of the visitor, he said with some embarrassment: "Well, our store does not accept credit."
The visitor felt insulted, raised the copper coin around his neck, and said angrily: "Look what this is!"
"One copper coin." Yu Sheng pointed to the vegetable sign hanging on the wall and said seriously, "I don't even have enough money for soup."
"What copper coins?" The visitor slapped the table, stood up and pulled the copper coins around his neck, saying, "I am the Celestial Master of Demon Catch for One Coin, the Celestial Master of Catch Demons!"
"The Heavenly Master who catches demons!" Yu Sheng was startled. He pointed at the little white fox in the cage at the visitor's feet, "Is this a demon?"
When the little white fox saw Yu Sheng pointing at it, he looked over with tears in his eyes.
For the rest of my life, under the influence of "Liao Zhai", I was somewhat immune to the fox demon. I was not a person who was just talking about it, but my heart softened when I saw its eyes.
"To be precise, not yet." The Demon Catcher Heavenly Master sat down and said a little embarrassedly.
"If you're not a demon, why are you catching people?" Yu Sheng said unfairly.
The demon-catching master said: "It is not so for the time being, but its intelligence has been developed. In time, it will definitely become a demon."
Yu Sheng moved his stool and sat across from the Heavenly Master, "I'm talking about a penny, but you must be really bad. How can you catch monsters like you?"
"I am a master who catches demons with a penny, not a penny."
After the Demon Catcher corrected him, he added: "You know nothing, this kind of intelligence is only valuable when it has just been opened. People in the city like this kind of little female fox the most."
"What!" Yu Sheng was shocked again. People here have very strong tastes.
Master Yiqian lifted the cage up, pointed at the little white fox inside, and explained it to Yu Sheng in detail, and Yu Sheng suddenly understood.
After the fox demons transform into human form, they are all handsome, and the female fox demons are even more charming and charming, making them the favorite playthings of many people.
But the fox demon has demonic power, and it is not easy to let it become a plaything after becoming a demon. Therefore, the little female fox who has just begun to develop her intelligence has become the first choice.
This demon that has just awakened its intelligence is like an ignorant child, its understanding of the world around it is still vague, and after a little domestication, it becomes a pet.
Then with a little infiltration of spiritual energy, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, Zen sounds, and Taoist sutras, you can turn a fox into a demon into the most perfect plaything.
It would have been better if Tianshi Qian had used other metaphors, but compared the baby to the little white fox in front of him, which made Yu Sheng even more intolerable.
He looked at Yiqian Tianshi with disdain and wondered how he was different from a human trafficker.
For the rest of my life, I hated human traffickers the most.
In his previous life as a child, whenever he was "severely beaten" by his mother, he would walk on the road, hoping that the traffickers would take him away and stay away from her iron clutches.
It just never happened.
Until one day, while playing with his companions, he met two traffickers.
The trafficker looked at it for a long time and said to his companion: "Hold this one, that one is fat and ugly, it is inconvenient to run, and you can't sell it for a good price."
Yu Sheng's heart suddenly felt like a heavy blow, and he immediately shouted, causing the adults to chase and beat them.
This fat and ugly figure left a deep shadow on his young mind for the rest of his life, so he hated human traffickers the most.
"Bah bang." Master Yiqian slapped the table, "What are you thinking about? Let's serve the food and wine quickly!"
Only then did Yu Sheng realize that he was distracted. He sat up straight and said, "Don't worry about the food and drinks. One penny, you little white fox..."
"Hey, you're not in a hurry. I didn't eat all day and all night just to chase it." Yiqian raised his eyebrows.
"Take your time." Yu Sheng still said slowly, "You little white fox, can you sell me?"
Yiqian Tianshi was startled. "Hey," he said with a lewd smile, "You kid, you have such lust at a young age, your future is limitless."
Yu Sheng also laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, haha, isn't it a waste of youth to be romantic?"
Yiqian Tianshi suddenly changed his face and sneered: "How much money do you have, dare you buy a little white fox like me?"
Hearing his disdainful tone, Yu Sheng also retracted his smile, thinking to himself that I am the young owner of the largest inn within a few miles, so I'm afraid you won't succeed.
He crossed his legs and slapped the table, "You can make an offer."
Yiqian Tianshi said: "You are from a poor and remote country, I don't want much." He stretched out his finger, "Just four strings."
Yu Sheng suddenly fell to the ground, "Si Guan!" He leaned on the table, "Why don't you grab it!"
Counting the ancestral property, farm property, and the planted ash trees, his cheap father only left him two pieces.
Yu Sheng held up the stool and sat up again: "Four strings are enough to buy four thousand Celestial Masters worth one penny."
Yi Qian Tianshi pulled the red rope around his neck again, leaned on the table and shouted: "This is a symbol, a symbol, a symbol of strength. I don't know it's only worth one copper coin!"
Yu Sheng hurriedly covered his ears, and after he finished yelling, he let go and then wiped the saliva from his face.
Yiqian Tianshi sat down and said contemptuously: "This is already the cheapest price. If you can't afford it, just serve good wine and good food."
Yu Sheng left the table and walked to the kitchen, but in his mind he was thinking about saving the little white fox, "If it succeeds, it will be considered a meritorious deed, right?"
