Fire Monster

Chapter 52: Both Human Relationship and Business

"By the way, Zhao Guanshan, do you really want to help? Not just to take advantage of the situation?"

When Zhao Guanshan came to Li Guangyu's seal hut with a bunch of rune nails, Liu Erya asked a question with a hint of meaning, her eyes full of gossip.

After all, Li Guangyu's wife can be considered a pretty girl in Skid Row.

"Ah? What do you mean?" Yang Mao hadn't reacted yet and looked confused.

Zhao Guanshan turned a deaf ear to it, looked at the two imperial seal huts in Li Guangyu's house for a while, then closed the spiritual supply array inside and began to dismantle one of the huts.

This is actually a very common pattern in slum alleys.

Two first-level imperial seal cottages are spliced ​​together, with an internal usable area of ​​about 18 square meters. One of them can be lived in by adults, and the other can be lived in by children.

This takes all aspects into consideration, ensuring both daily living space and a certain degree of protection.

Finally, assembly material is saved.

That’s right, the construction standards for a first-level imperial seal hut include a Gui-level spirit-providing magic array, sixty rune nails, and several wooden boards.

But if two first-level imperial seal huts are connected together, then only two Gui-level spirit-offering magic arrays and ninety rune spikes will be needed.

Although the market price of a rune spike is only ten small coins, a family can save three large coins. There are so many slum alleys in the whole Linjiang Prefecture, and how many families need to live in a first-level imperial seal hut?
So you can imagine how much resources can be saved here.

In a sense, resources are much more important than human lives.

Or to be more precise, the lives of people who have no potential for advancement or cultivation are very cheap.

This is the current situation of Linjiang Prefecture.

In less than a moment, with the help of Yang Mao and the others, Zhao Guanshan demolished a house and took care of the beginning and the end. He got exactly thirty rune nails.

Then he took out another thirty rune spikes, making a total of sixty, and smashed them down one by one along the wooden wall of the remaining sealed hut, eventually forming six high-level material psychic energy oscillation path coils.

Afterwards, he reassembled the disassembled spirit supply array, embedded two energy storage spirit stones, activated and lit it up, and a quasi-second-level sealed hut was upgraded in this way.

The whole process took less than an hour.

Yang Mao and Liu Erya were stunned and surprised on the side. Although they had known for a long time that Zhao Guanshan had this ability, how could this compare to seeing it with their own eyes.

"What a second-level imperial seal hut! Brother Zhao, Uncle Zhao, how about giving this one to me? I'm willing to be your grandson!"

Yang Mao almost knelt down to Zhao Guanshan on the spot.

Then, with a slap, he was slapped in the face by Liu Erya.

"Yang Mao, look at what kind of shit you are!"

Then, she immediately put on a charming and seductive posture, twisting her waist, lifting her hips, biting her fingers, with her collar half open, and her eyes seductive, "Xiao Shanshan, look, when we were little, you called me sister..."

"stop!"

"Don't play that on me, you two!"

"When will you return the two doses of Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Fluid you owe me?"

"You're addicted to taking advantage of others, right?"

"I plan to let Huang Wei's family stay in this second-level imperial seal hut temporarily. Please don't make trouble." Zhao Guanshan gave a stern warning and then went straight to Huang Wei's house, which was actually only a few dozen steps away.

Huang Wei is about the same age as Li Guangyu and has a three-year-old son. However, his mother is still alive. She is a middle-aged woman in her forties, but her hair has already turned gray. She is so thin that her bones are visible, and her face is covered with black spots. She does not look like a living person and looks lifeless.

But even so, she had to go to work every day. She just came back from work when Zhao Guanshan and the other two arrived at Huang Wei's house. She walked towards him slowly like a zombie.

"Hey, Zhao Guanshan, you miscalculated. Huang Wei's wife will never agree to live in the same room with his mother."

Liu Erya whispered with glee. She and Yang Mao had roughly figured out what Zhao Guanshan was doing at this time.

"Ahem...you young men, ahem...what's the matter?"

Huang Wei's mother looked up in confusion. There was no blood in her eyes, only a layer of grayish-white film, as if a group of spiders had woven a web inside.

Obviously, although she lived long enough, the accumulated pollution made her body extremely weak, and she must have multiple lesions in her body. If she were on Earth, she would probably have a lot of cancer.

"I have been entrusted by Huang Wei to take care of you for three months. I am going to upgrade your Imperial Seal Cottage."

Zhao Guanshan said loudly.

"What did you say? Are you a liar, trying to trick us orphans and widows?"

The door opened, Huang Wei's wife came out and looked at Zhao Guanshan warily.

It seems that Huang Wei did not mention this matter.

"It's like this. Huang Wei gave me five big coins and asked me to take care of you. And not only you, but also Li Guangyu..."

Zhao Guanshan gave a brief explanation and pointed to the imperial seal hut a few dozen steps away that was already lit up with a noticeably different protective light. Facts speak louder than words.

Huang Wei's wife then believed it.
"You mean, let's stay at Li Guangyu's house first, and then you can use five big coins to help us upgrade the two small houses we have now, right?"

"Yes, the original two rooms will become one. Although it is a bit cramped, it is safer. As long as you move in, the deal between Huang Wei and I will be complete. Five big coins are my reward. If you disagree, I can return the five big coins to you now."

"Agree! We agree! Ahem! I don't have much time left to live, don't worry about me..."

Without waiting for Huang Wei's wife to speak, his mother hurriedly agreed. If Huang Wei was still alive, this kind of thing would be meaningless, but Huang Wei had already been drafted and the chance of him coming back was very slim. Now was the time when evil spirits were rampant, and only a fool would not agree.

"I, I agree too." Huang Wei's wife hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.

"Very good, then you can pack up first. You can stay at Li Guangyu's house tonight and move back before tomorrow evening."

Zhao Guanshan also breathed a sigh of relief. This was a happy ending for everyone.

Li Guangyu, Huang Wei and others gave him five big coins each, hoping that he would take care of their family for three months. To be honest, this amount of money was not small if he went against his conscience and did not take it seriously at all.

But he didn't want to go against his conscience, nor did he want to be involved in this matter. The key point was, how could he protect four families by himself?
Doesn't he have anything else to do?

Therefore, it is easiest to upgrade their Imperial Seal Huts.

Each time you upgrade a sealed hut, you only need to add an additional thirty rune nails, and the total price is three big coins.

So after all the twists and turns, he could still earn an extra eight big coins, which was not bad.

At this time, Yang Mao and Liu Erya stared at Zhao Guanshan as if they had seen a ghost. At first, they didn't know about the five big coins, and they thought Zhao Guanshan was a goody-goody and a big fool. But in the end, they were the big fool.
