My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 129 Knowledge is Expensive (Part )

When the girl Luo Luo finished her handicraft, what Jiang Chen saw was a vivid puppet.

It just stood there, looking like an underage child.

Lolo was even considerate enough to patch up his damaged skin, so that from the outside you couldn't tell that he was a puppet.

Looking at the newborn, Jiang Chen took off the mask on his face and put it on the little thing: "Become what I am now."

As the little thing's face changed, it seemed as if another little "Chen Jiang" appeared. Considering that Jiang Chen is only eleven or twelve years old now, they look like brothers when standing together.

Very good, now there is finally someone who can impersonate "Chen Jiang".

Jiang Chen didn’t think that the last incident would make Qian Dong completely give up his suspicion, but as long as he and little "Chen Jiang" appeared together later, Qian Dong would no longer be able to suspect him.

Jiang Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "Not bad! Not bad. From now on, you will be called Xiaonan, and call yourself Chen Jiang to the outside world."

"No, my mother's name is Bayin!" the puppet shouted wildly.

Snapped!
Jiang Chen slapped her and said, "Don't call yourselves my father and mother anymore!"

The little thing cried loudly: "My name is Xiaonan, and I work part-time as Chen Jiang!"

Jiang Chen looked at his tears.

There really is water!

As long as you don't do anything, there's absolutely no problem in pretending to be yourself.

Jiang Chen nodded: "I am very satisfied with your craftsmanship. By the way, can it still enter the ring space?"

Luo Luo smirked: "It's not real life, okay."

Xiaonan yelled, "Don't come in here!"

Snapped!
Another slap came down.

Xiaonan shut up: "If it doesn't take too long, it's not impossible to consider it."

Jiang Chen turned to look at the girl: "Very good, now tell me about the library."

The girl Luo Luo laughed and said, "Do you see the pyramid in the sky?"

"Yes."

"It's right there. There are only two ways to enter. One is to participate in a mission duel, but only those with outstanding performance are eligible. The other is to consume knowledge points to apply for entry."

Knowledge point?
So the knowledge point is used to enter the library? Maybe there are more uses.

“What’s the use of knowledge points?”

"This is related to the mission and cannot be answered. You can only discover it on your own."

"Then let's talk about the library. What you just said is that only people with outstanding performance can enter that place? In other words, it is not a must for those who receive the precepts?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, I understand." Jiang Chen replied.

"Well, it's your turn to pay!" The girl Lolo opened her ferocious mouth and let out a wild laugh.

----------

After walking out of the shop, Jiang Chen had returned to his normal shape.

3 lives left.

He felt that his perception of the netherworld had improved again, and even his mental piercing and ghost form seemed to have improved to some extent.

As expected, every time I die, the withering gem can make my Netherworld strength grow once, but unfortunately it is not enough for an upgrade!

At this moment, Xiaonan followed him and walked side by side with him, which made many people stop and look at them, and they all looked at them in amazement: "The child... is a child."

Jiang Chen could hear it from their envious and jealous tones.

They didn't realize that Xiaonan was a puppet, but they didn't show too much surprise either.

Coupled with what Lolo said about "it's difficult to have children", this means that children still exist in this world, but they are relatively rare.

When Jiang Chen walked along the street with Xiao Nan, pedestrians on the street avoided him and some even saluted him.

Well……

Do you think I'm a noble?

In other words, being able to have children makes you a noble?
But the world cannot be supported by the nobility alone. If that is the case, why is the chaotic world so strict with those who take the precepts?
If you want to maintain the population, then you shouldn't conduct various tests that will result in death... unless there are other opposing factors?
At this moment, Jiang Chen was thinking, and he said, "Xiao Nan, how much do you know about this place?"

Xiaonan replied unhappily: "My mother..."

"Snapped!"

Xiaonan burst into tears: "How should I know? I was just a music box before!"

"But there must be something you can know?"

Xiaonan pointed forward and said, "Bookstore! What you want is there." Looking in the direction of Xiaonan's finger, Jiang Chen saw a small bookstore at the corner not far away.

The bookstore is not big. In front of the black porch is a huge glass display window filled with various books.

Through the window, one could vaguely see a handsome young man with black hair sitting inside.

I took Xiaonan across the intersection and arrived in front of the bookstore.

Jiang Chen put his hand on the brass door handle. Before he opened the door, he saw the door handle suddenly transformed into a ferocious demon head and bit down on Jiang Chen's hand.

Jiang Chen grabbed the demon's head and pinched it so hard that it rolled its eyes.

"Please come in, sir. Don't mind the little guy. It means no harm." A soft voice came from the bookstore.

Jiang Chen let go and the door opened.

Entering the bookstore, the first thing you see is a long black sofa that extends from the door to the interior. There is also a coffee table next to it. There are books on the bookshelves on both sides, but the number is limited. A girl in a gorgeous Gothic skirt is sitting on the sofa, holding a book and reading it carefully.

This looks more like a reading room.

At the desk at the door, the black-haired young man raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Chen.

Surprise appeared in his black pupils: "A young person receiving the precepts, with a child... Oh, it turned out to be a puppet. I almost thought it was a noble. Please take a seat. Is there anything you need?"

Jiang Chen did not sit down, but said calmly: "I just got off the boat and I know nothing about this place."

The young man laughed and said, “I see. You want to know the information here?”

"Yes."

"What do you need? Geography, history, meteorology, abilities or rules? Or just some ordinary novels? Oh, maybe I should remind you that as a young person who has just landed, you don't have the right to buy and read most books now. After all, in the chaotic world, knowledge is precious!"

"Then tell me what I can buy...the rules." Considering that Iris was here, Jiang Chen did not plan to learn about the history and geography of this place through books. The most important thing at the moment was the rules.

"Please wait a moment." The young man quickly stood up and went to the bookshelf nearby.

He swiftly took out a black hardcover book and came to Jiang Chen.

The cover shows a black mountain range with dark clouds lingering above it. Below it is a huge demon head with four large characters "Secret of Chaos" written next to it.

The demon head was even laughing: "Hey, kid, do you want to read me? You need to pay with blood! Lots of blood!"

Surrounded by the black mist, Jiang Chen felt faintly dizzy.

His heart was slightly startled, and he instinctively activated the power of the underworld to resist this mental interference.

Unexpectedly, the black-haired young man's expression suddenly changed: "The power of the underworld! Taboo!!!"

His black hair fluttered, and thick black mist rose up, condensing into a devilish black flame that swirled towards Jiang Chen.

What the hell!

Jiang Chen was also shocked. You attack me?
Xiaonan shouted excitedly: "Fuck him! Fuck him!"

You are a traitor!

Fortunately, the next moment, the black flame circled around him and returned to the young man.

The black fire disappeared and the young man's complexion returned to normal.

He glared at Jiang Chen fiercely: "Since you are just a child, I won't bother with you, but don't use the power of the underworld in my store!"

Jiang Chen was happy.

Eye of Insight activates:

"The Secret Scroll Master Demonic Fox."

"Level 7."

"Special state: Secret Demon Fusion."

“Other unknown.”

Oh my god, this guy is even stronger than puppeteer Lolo!
What is a secret scroll master?
Didn’t we say there are no jobs here?

Jiang Chen discovered that the mystery and vastness of this world was far beyond his imagination. Your previous cognition could be overturned at any time - just meet two shop owners, one is level six and the other is level seven.

My invincible life has just begun, and there are already so many big guys everywhere. A level seven guy is worse than a dog?

Sir, the ninth-level emperor, are you blushing?

And just now, it seemed that he had escaped death once: just as the bearded captain said, now he has the qualification to make mistakes!
"I seem to have done something I shouldn't have done? I'm sorry about that." Jiang Chen said.

The young bookstore owner no longer looked angry: "It's okay, you're still a child now, just don't repeat the same mistake again."

Jiang Chen immediately said: "But the prerequisite is that I need to know what the taboos are."

Hearing this, the bookstore owner chuckled and said, "You have to rely on yourself to discover it, just like now. Only after touching it can you understand it."

Depend on!
You always tell us not to break taboos, but you have to break them yourself before you know what's wrong?
There are reminders for newbies at the Ghost Market: don't pee or bargain. Does this mean the only way to overcome the taboos here is to risk your life?
