Chapter 64 Can you stop me?
After dying once, Chen Fu was teleported to the Land God Temple in the Wedding and Funeral City.
Based on the principle that failure is the mother of success, he decided to try again to see if he could eliminate General Jiao and Granny Fengpi.
In this way, not only will you receive rewards, but the mid-to-high-level combat power of the entire Wedding and Funeral City will also collapse precipitously, allowing you to roam freely here from now on.
However, the game text indicated to Chen Fu that the other party had taken the initiative to come to his door.
"General Jiao and Granny Fengpi have located your position through the guidance of the loan shark's followers."
"They are blocking the entrance to the local temple, intending to grind you to dust."
"O chosen one, abandoned by the death of this world, though you will not die, you will also be unable to take another step forward."
"What do you plan to do? Will you go to the Forbidden City to avoid danger, and then sneak into the Wedding Funeral City after General Jiao and Granny Sewing have left? Or will you bravely confront them and see who has the stronger fist? Or, you can use the Earth Temple to teleport to Blood Blade Town and avoid the risks there."
Wow, they can even block the door? That's fouling!
Chen Fu's lips twitched. He had never encountered anything like this before. These monsters were truly ruthless; they wouldn't even let him go after he was dead.
After thinking for a while, Chen Fu decided to go to the Forbidden City first.
After trading the two divine artifact remains to the Spirit Investigation Bureau and obtaining the money for amulets, he would increase his strength and then turn around to deal with these despicable demons and monsters.
That's the good thing about people born under the Heavenly Ruler; if they can't win a fight, they can improve their strength through other means. You guys like blocking the door, right? Then keep blocking it. I'll show you how I deal with you later.
"You have arrived at the Forbidden City."
"Groups of young disciples are discussing information about exploring the Forbidden City. You find your own young disciple among them. She is listening attentively to the experience passed down by her predecessors, hoping to take it a step further."
Chen Fu was overjoyed. It seemed that Bai Ruhua was also playing the game, and he immediately sent her a message.
Nobody: "Are you there?"
Golden Jade Boy: "Yes, yes, I was just about to ask if you wanted to upgrade your skills."
Anonymous: "I got two remnants of divine equipment. I can upgrade them after I sell them."
Golden Jade Boy: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
From Bai Ruhua's words, Chen Fu realized that she didn't show much curiosity about the divine armor remnant. Perhaps she already knew the use of this item and didn't care too much. She then turned and went to the street stalls at the foot of the imperial city.
After communicating with the headquarters in Yanjing, Chen Fu waited for news, preparing to put the two divine artifact remains on the market after they had prepared the amulet money.
This prevents other players from buying it; it's like agreeing on everything offline and then trading online.
After browsing through the transaction information in the stalls at the Imperial City for a while and finding that they were all useless items, Chen Fu exited the game and called Zhou Jianbang.
After a busy signal, the call was answered. Zhou Jianbang knew what Chen Fu was up to, and said that the money for the amulet had been raised in Yanjing and could be traded at any time.
Chen Fu replied, "No rush, no rush. I just wanted to ask about the situation."
He dared not urge headquarters, lest it give others cause for concern.
Zhou Jianbang knew exactly what Chen Fu was thinking, but he didn't say anything and just told him to put the items on the shelves.
After receiving a definite answer, Chen Fu chatted with Zhou Jianbang for a while before logging back into the game and listing two divine equipment remnants at the Imperial City Street Market.
"You have lost the divine armor remnants (normal) of the Weeping and Laughing Servant."
"You have lost the divine armor remains of the Laughing and Crying Spirit Official (Rare)."
"You have obtained 150,000 coins for amulets."
The efficiency of the Spirit Investigation Bureau's Beijing headquarters is indeed high. Chen Fu had just put the two items on the shelves when they were bought. Excluding the handling fee, he did indeed receive 150,000 coins for amulets.
In fact, Chen Fu could become a millionaire instantly through cash transactions, but compared to improving his real life, the most important thing at this stage is to improve his game skills. It's more prudent to collect more unused items later and then consider converting them into cash.
Chen Fu took the money and went to find Bai Ruhua again.
Nobody: "I've already sold the items, now help me upgrade my skills."
Golden Jade Boy: "Okay."
After a series of actions, Bai Ruhua helped Chen Fu upgrade the supernatural event to level six, consuming over 3 amulet coins. Bai Ruhua herself also successfully reached level three through this action.
Chen Fu naturally received a notification from the game text.
"Chosen One, your supernatural events have been upgraded. There will be a 90% chance of triggering a supernatural event each time the plot progresses."
"Chosen One, your two skills have reached their peak. You may now randomly upgrade the level of your two skills."
"Alternatively, you can choose to wait until the Golden Jade Child completes the job change quest before upgrading, which will allow you to gain other benefits."
The game text has the same meaning as when you reach the peak experience points, except there's another option.
Chen Fu calculated that if he continued to focus on improving these two skills, he would need one million coins for talismanic purposes. He didn't know how long it would take to accumulate that amount, as it was too slow and could potentially slow down his game progress.
He tried asking Bai Ruhua what the second hint meant.
Anonymous: "The game says you can upgrade your skills after you change jobs. Any news from your end?"
Golden Jade Boy: "Yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll type it out to you."
Golden Jade Boy: "After you change jobs, I can continue to help you break through your skill peaks, but each breakthrough will cost one million coins. In addition, I will have more options for upgrading skills, which can help you in another way."
This was largely in line with Chen Fu's guess, but it added the option to upgrade other skills.
Currently, Bai Ruhua can upgrade two skills. After successfully changing jobs, she can upgrade at least three skills, and possibly more.
He suddenly realized that there was a bug that could be exploited here: by carrying only a small amount of amulet money, he could allow Bai Ruhua to upgrade her skills.
If you do it this way, there will be no random options, because you won't have enough experience points and enough money for the curse to handle paranormal events, and the system will only upgrade other skill options.
I don’t know if it’s feasible, but since the game text doesn’t give any hints, maybe I can give it a try… After Chen Fu figured this out, he decided to wait until Bai Ruhua had completed her job change before making a decision, since one million coins for amulets was indeed a considerable burden for him.
Nobody: "So what's your job change quest? Is it dangerous?"
Now that you've made the decision, you need to understand everything clearly. You don't want the Golden Jade Child to die because of the job change.
Bai Ruhua's existence is another effective way for Chen Fu to improve his strength, and he absolutely cannot afford to make an irreparable mistake.
Jin Yutongzi: "It's alright. The game says I just need to explore a Forbidden City area that no one has ever set foot in. I'm going to try it out later."
From this perspective, the gameplay of the Golden Jade Child is completely different from other professions. There is no need to go through dungeons to change professions, which greatly reduces the danger... Chen Fu thought to himself, compared with players of other professions, the Golden Jade Child's profession change quest is much easier.
Nobody: "Then hurry up and go, and make sure you come back alive!"
Golden Jade Boy: "Don't worry, I've already looked into this. Once I've completed my job change, I'll continue to upgrade your skills."
Oh, what a little angel she is, always thinking of me... Chen Fu shed tears, wondering if he should reveal his identity to Bai Ruhua.
Golden Jade Boy: "By the way, after the job change, there's one more thing I need to ask you. Don't pretend you didn't see it then."
Nobody: "How could I pretend I didn't see that? Ask me anything, I'll tell you everything I know."
The conversation between the two ended there. Chen Fu couldn't guess what Bai Ruhua wanted to ask him, but it didn't matter; he would find out in a while.
He teleported to the Earth God Temple and focused his attention on the wedding and funeral city. He looked outside and found that General Sewing General and Granny Sewing Skin were still guarding the door without moving.
Hey, you two demons and monsters are like persistent ghosts, I'll come and smash your dog heads in!
Chen Fu sneered. He had been helpless against these two things before, but things were different now.
The escalation of the paranormal events gave him ample confidence. As long as he went out and killed a small monster, there was a high probability that a paranormal event would be triggered. By continuously accumulating events based on their severity, he could resolve this trouble in a snowballing manner.
Having made up his mind, Chen Fu used the Eye of Time to see the scene three breaths later.
After he leaves, he will successfully kill a follower of the moneylender, thus triggering a supernatural event, but he will also be besieged by General Sewing Skin Granny and die again.
The result was neither good nor bad; as long as there were supernatural events, Chen Fu immediately took action.
"The moment you stepped out of the temple, General Jiao and Granny Sewing Skin rushed over, along with the loan shark's followers, wanting to kill you again."
"They even used special methods to prevent you from summoning the demons and monsters you contracted. Chosen One, this crisis can only be resolved by you alone."
Chen Fu had anticipated this outcome. After he was killed, Xi naturally returned to the small square. It seems that Xi's existence also made General Jiao Fengpi feel threatened, and he didn't want to give him any chance at all.
But it doesn't matter. Chen Fu often watched others fight when he was young, so he knows how to break a deadlock.
"Faced with a large number of enemies, you choose to focus your attack on one person, and a follower of the moneylender becomes your target."
"You swung the frying pan and pounded it on the head of this moneylender's follower. The water in the earth god temple made the frying pan's damage even more powerful."
The frying pan, upgraded by the descendants of Qiaosheng Gong, has long since become a snake-bone refined version, not only making it very easy to tap, but also allowing for control of the water flow.
Chen Fu was surprised that this would actually work, and he became even more confident in killing the loan shark's followers.
"By using the water flow, you blocked General Jiao and Granny Sewing Skin, and successfully killed this moneylender's follower."
"A paranormal event has been triggered."
"This moneylender's follower stared blankly at his own corpse, never understanding why he was the first unlucky victim until his death."
"He muttered to himself, wanting to return to the arms of the loan shark. You found a glimmer of hope and saw the loan shark's figure in the north, in the location of Silver City."
"As the mastermind behind the wedding funeral incident, the loan shark was quite surprised that you were able to find him."
"He told you that as long as you give up your unrealistic ideas and actions, he can forgive your past mistakes and accept you as his follower."
"Chosen One, if you choose this path, you will gain a certain ability to lend money, thus accumulating the amulet money that the Chosen One needs most. However, you will also be controlled by the loan shark and become his puppet for accumulating wealth. If you refuse, you will anger the loan shark again, and he will use his own methods to make you regret it."
You first sent people to attack me, and now you want to recruit me? Do you think I'm a clay figure that you can mold at will? Chen Fu certainly wouldn't choose the first option and decisively rejected the loan shark's suggestion.
"Your actions have angered the moneylender. He has issued orders to the other believers in the manner he knows well, that you must remain holed up in the local temple and must not step out of here, not even once."
"You have been attacked by the followers of other moneylenders, as well as by the sedan chair general and the leather-sewing old woman."
"You are dead."
Dying again isn't scary. Chen Fu hasn't even used the Spirit Essence Cicada yet. In reality, he touched the cicada's emerald green body, and his strength immediately recovered for eight hours.
However, this did not completely remove the sixteen-hour physical penalty. Chen Fu did not dwell on it, exited the game, and went to class.
Eight hours later, he opened the game again, rushed out of the temple, and killed another of the moneylender's followers.
"A paranormal event has been triggered."
"This moneylender's follower is clearly smarter than the previous one. Without a second thought, he wanted to return to the moneylender's embrace, but you stopped him with lightning speed and obtained the item that could change the situation."
"You have obtained the Mask of the Moneylender's Follower (Disposable Item)"
"The Moneylender's Follower's human skin mask, once worn, allows you to disguise yourself as a follower of the Moneylender and leave the Earth God Temple. It is valid for five minutes. If you are discovered during or after this time, you will continue to be hunted down."
Chen Fu shook his head. This thing was indeed useful; it could allow him to leave temporarily, but only for a short time. Unless he stopped coming to the Wedding Funeral City altogether, it wouldn't solve his current troubles.
The best option is to wait until this matter is resolved before considering how to use it.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was still alive, he launched another attack.
"You wielded your frying pan and launched a fierce attack on Granny Sewing Skin, dealing five points of damage to her."
"The abilities possessed by the coroners of the Three Realms have allowed you to uncover one of the sins of the Skin-Sealing Granny."
"Grandma Stitching Skin, stealing corpses to arrange marriages, the dye shop has a fishy smell, selfish and only cares about making money."
"The damage you just inflicted on Granny Sewing Skin has now become real damage!"
"Grandma Stitching Skin is dead."
"You have gained 20% experience points."
"You have obtained Granny Sewing Skin's Gold Thread and Silver Needles (Fine)"
"You have obtained the offering certificate for Granny Sewing Skin (a one-time consumable)."
"A paranormal event has been triggered."
"Through the soul of Granny Sewing Skin, you discover that her love of money stems from her worship of an ancient demon. Granny Sewing Skin wants to gain power through this demon and ultimately reach the level of a ghost bride."
"This is the deepest secret that Granny Sewing Skin kept hidden in her heart. I never expected that you would find out about it in this way."
"Chosen One, this might be a way for you to resolve your current predicament. Do you wish to try communicating with the ancient demons and monsters behind Granny Sewing by burning gold and silver needles using the offering certificate from her, thereby escaping the siege of General Sewing Carrier and the Loan Shark?"
Chen Fu's eyes lit up.
Killing the loan shark's follower only allowed him to move around temporarily, but then a glimmer of hope appeared. This old woman, who was sewing skin, also had her own ulterior motives and was secretly worshipping other monsters and demons.
If we could communicate with them and lead them to the wedding and funeral city, so that they could stand against the loan shark, wouldn't we be able to watch these two monsters kill each other?
If it were to be successfully completed, it would not only solve the predicament of being unable to leave the local temple, but might also allow them to reap the benefits.
Chen Fu did not hesitate and chose to communicate directly.
So you're the ones blocking me, huh? You think you can stop me? I'll send a big shot over and show you what's what.
