Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 170 The feeling of being kept...

"You repaired Chen Maomao's body, and your score was S-level. You gained 300 energy points."

"Privilege [Occupation] activated!"

"Obtain E-level spell pattern [Earth Ear]"

"not bad!"

Xiao Ran looked at the skill book, memory book, and spell scroll hanging on the tiger's body, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He put [Earth Ear] into the space and picked up the skill book to read it.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking. There are so many messy skills in the long skill book.

From cooking to lawn mowing, diving to paragliding, from boxing to tongue skills, from paper-making to fine arts.

"Good boy, you've learned so much, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Xiao Ran looked at the tiger speechlessly, and then began to select skills from the skill book. Xiao Ran could not use most of the skills, and the combat skills were what Xiao Ran was mainly concerned about.

After observing carefully for a while, Xiao Ran finally fixed his gaze on Tiger's set of Bagua Knife (Mastery).

This set of sword skills must have been specially practiced by Lao Hu.

Xiao Ran had also seen Lao Hu's swordsmanship, which was not very good. At least compared with the swordsmanship he had plundered from Senbingwei, Lao Hu's swordsmanship was not outstanding.

But this cannot be blamed on the tiger. Beginners are relatively weak in this regard, and all their abilities come from spells and cursed objects.

In fact, their own abilities are no different from those of ordinary people. Sometimes, if it is not for the improvement of professional skills, no one is willing to spend time and effort to learn these skills.

Besides, a skill or kung fu requires time to slowly cultivate. The advantage of a beginner is the basic attributes brought by the spell patterns, which is similar to internal strength. If the internal strength is profound, one can learn anything quickly.

Just like the cheating king Xu Zhu, he directly maxed out his internal strength. To learn those martial arts, he only needed to understand the technique of exerting force, and the rest depended on his great strength to create miracles.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and chose this set of Bagua swordsmanship.

Senbei's swordsmanship is swift and powerful, and one strike is enough to kill, but he is at a disadvantage in a long battle. Kamitori Reiko's short sword is more suitable for close combat and quick attacks. He still lacks a swordsmanship that can allow him to fight for a long time without being defeated. The Bagua Sword obviously makes up for this shortcoming.

What's more, I am an expert in using a knife, so using a knife will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

You may ask, why do so many people use knife skills, and so few people use sword skills?
Actually, this question is very simple. A knife is easier to learn than a sword, has greater lethality, and is more suitable for killing people.

As for his swordsmanship, it cannot be denied that it is very powerful. For example, the young Taoist priest who killed Senbingwei used his swordsmanship, and it was a very soft sword, which made Senbingwei unable to even lift his head.

But the question is, how long will it take you to practice such a set of swordsmanship? ? The little Taoist boy himself is not an ordinary person, and he has a profound master's teaching. If you have a hammer, the best way is to chop people with a sword honestly.

"Do you want to consume 150 energy points to obtain the Eight Diagrams Sword Technique?"

"Yes!"

After Xiao Ran confirmed it, wisps of faint light emerged from the skill book and penetrated into Xiao Ran's body. In an instant, all the memories related to this sword technique were firmly embedded in Xiao Ran's mind after the tiger's subjective consciousness was erased.

Seeing that the energy he had just obtained was consumed by half in a blink of an eye, Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"There aren't enough bodies yet!!"

Xiao Ran once again lamented in his heart that he did not have enough corpses. As long as there were enough corpses, he could charge his energy value to 1000 first, check the conditions for the [Suppression Order] to be promoted to Level D, and make preparations.

If there are enough corpses, you can sew a few more corpses and use them to form an elite corpse team.

In short, as long as you give yourself enough corpses, everything is possible.

This also made Xiao Ran more determined to take advantage of the opportunity of Changchun's opening up to sneak in.

The people participating in the land reclamation this time are not only the Changchun Society, but also many scattered beginners. With more people, it will be easier for me to fish in troubled waters and find more and stronger corpses.

If it's the same as last time, where I can see it at a glance, I won't have any advantage.

Then he looked at the tiger's body on the bed.

After releasing the [Evil Order], he activated the [Black Swan Brooch] on his chest.

【Black Swan Brooch·Corpse Collector】

Privilege 1: Corpse Slave

When a repaired corpse is converted into a corpse slave, part of the corpse's consciousness and thinking, as well as its own related professional skills, will be retained.

(Note: The higher the level of the corpse, the less ability it will retain after being transformed into a corpse slave.)
Privilege 2: No Pressure

You can sew a curse on any target. When the target is hit by a critical hit, the curse will be activated, causing the critical hit to be offset.

20% chance of dodging, 30% chance of minor injury, 50% chance of serious injury.

After activating this spell, the damage you take will increase by 30% in the next 30 minutes.
(Note: Unable to defend against lethal skills above level F.)
As the spell was activated, Xiao Ran placed his hand on the tiger's body, used the privileged corpse slave, and silently said, "Start!"

The next second, a thick breath of death burst out from the tiger's body.

Soon the deathly aura dissipated, and the tiger lying on the wooden board slowly sat up and looked at Xiao Ran with empty eyes.

"You activated your privilege and transformed Chen Maomao into a corpse slave. Your occupation is... a profiler."

“Only one profession remains.”

Xiao Ran felt a little regretful. In fact, he preferred the profession of paper-making craftsman, because not only could he provide auxiliary services, but he could also throw out a large number of paper figures to help at critical moments.

When you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can make paper-cuts for yourself at home to earn some money for your water and electricity bills.

"Profiler!"

"Unfortunately, the mask that Tiger used to transform into a demon is not in my possession."

At this moment, Xiao Ran recalled the scene where the tiger transformed into an evil ghost, wielding a long stick, and using the move "Qinghong Breaks the Universe with One Qi" to repel all the evil spirits in the Wang Mansion. He couldn't help but smacking his lips. The power of that move was still fresh in his memory.

"Whatever, it's good to keep one item."

Xiao Ran took out the [Papered Paper Set] from the space. This was originally Tiger's thing. After wearing it, he could gain the ability of the profession "Horizontal Refining".

I have tried it with a trainer myself, but the effect was not ideal. The most important thing is that this thing has a side effect. You can't breathe when you wear it, and the longer you wear it, the more stuffy you feel.

With my physical condition, it would be no problem for me to last ten minutes under normal circumstances.

But if it were a fight, even a minute would probably be enough.

But Tiger doesn't have this concern now. Breathing is something that only living people have to consider. He can keep the beast for as long as he wants without having to worry about any side effects.

And if you have a profiler, the effect will be better if you bring [pasted paper tools].

Xiao Ran then stuffed the skill booklet back into Tiger's body and took him to the yard to try it out. The effect was quite good.

After putting on the mask, his fighting ability is still good, and he can easily suppress Senbei with just a set of boxing skills.

"It will also need a few more weapons."

Now Senbei, Tiger, and even the spirit snake are all lacking a suitable weapon. Tiger gave his knife to Senbei, but it was still far from enough.

In addition to the fact that they were short of things, they also needed to purchase some. The corpse stitcher completed the advancement.

Xiao Ran plans to upgrade his side job as a "trainee" as soon as possible, to at least E level.

By the way, check if you can purchase another E-level spell to fill the gap in your career.

One main and two secondary, this is the healthiest combination.

"It seems that I need to go out to purchase some supplies and inquire about the land reclamation."

After making up his mind, Xiao Ran let the tiger sleep at the bottom of the well with Qian Bingwei. He changed his clothes and was about to go out when he heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Ran frowned, walked to the door and looked through the peephole. After he saw clearly that the person outside was Wu Man, he opened the door.

"What took you so long to go back?"

After saying that, he regretted asking this question. He saw Wu Manyan standing outside, covered in dust and dirt, and his expensive suit had several big holes in it.

There was even a leaf hanging in her hair.

It was the first time that Xiao Ran saw Wu Man in such a miserable state.

"Oh, it's a long story, let's go in first."

Wu Man sighed and was about to walk in, but suddenly he remembered something, frowned, took off his suit jacket, put on a brand new jacket, and then he was willing to walk in.

"Let me take you to your room first."

"it is good."

Wu Man nodded and followed Xiao Ran up to the second floor.

There are four rooms on the second floor. The largest suite is Xiao Ran's room. There are three other rooms. Xiao Ran chose a room near the inside for Wu Man.

"Where is your room?"

“The location at the staircase is not good, going up and down the stairs will be very noisy.”

Wu Man glanced at Xiao Ran's room and asked, "Can I live next door to you?"

"This is Sister Liu's arrangement."

"Ok."

When Wu Man heard that it was the landlord's arrangement, he immediately shut up.

After entering the room, Wu Man simply wiped the dust off his face, changed his clothes, and washed up.

"Didn't you say that it would take at least three days and at most one day? Why did you take so long to come back? Did you run into any trouble?"

"No, I met a few acquaintances on the way and chatted for a while. I didn't know the way and went in the wrong direction."

Wu Man did not give any further explanation on this matter.

"Meow!!"

At this time, the sound of the white cat came from outside the door. Xiao Ran opened the door and saw the white cat walking in slowly, looking around Wu Man's room curiously.

"Hey, it's here too?"

When he saw the white cat, Wu Man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took out a box of cat food from the space, but before he could open it.

A ghost rushed in from outside, snatched the cat food, and said angrily: "I! Feed the cat!"

Wu Man was stunned. He looked at the little kid in front of him and then raised his head to look at Xiao Ran.

"Oh, this is a bone spirit, but Sister Liu lent her to me. From now on, feeding cats is her exclusive right."

"Bone Spirit!"

Wu Man looked Qiu Kui up and down, squatted down, and took out a large bag of biscuits from the space, "I made this myself, it tastes very good, I give it to you, I will make cat food in the future, you can feed it."

Wu Man has a scumbag face, but he is also a great cook, and is popular with people of all ages.

However, Qiu Kui turned his gaze towards Xiao Ran.

After all, Xiao Ran is the owner of this place. Strictly speaking, as an accessory to the house, okra must obey Xiao Ran's orders in everything.

However, when Qiu Kui looked over at this time, Xiao Ran's heart still skipped a beat, fearing that Wu Man would notice something.

"Don't look at me. Although Sister Liu asked me to take care of you, you should make the decisions on these matters yourself."

"Ok."

Qiu Kui turned around, took the biscuits, said thank you to Wu Man, and then went out carrying the white cat.

It’s strange to say, Xiao Ran doesn’t allow anyone to touch the cat, but Qiu Kui can hold it at will.

Sometimes he even envied okra.

"Are you getting ready to go out?"

At this time Wu Man looked Xiao Ran up and down, and saw that he was dressed to go out, so he asked.

"Well, I've advanced, and I plan to go out and buy some things to improve my side business."

"That's it."

Wu Man's eyes rolled around, and then he took out a yellowed ghost money from the space and handed it to Xiao Ran.

"This is……"

Xiao Ran took it and looked at the ghost money in his hand. There were numbers written in several languages in golden yellow, and the words "Three Hundred Ghost Money" were on it. He couldn't help but look up at Wu Man.

"This is a large amount of ghost money. The minimum exchange amount is 100 ghost money. This is my rent for this month. Please pay it to the landlord for me. The extra money will be the agency fee."

“That’s all my agency fee is?”

Xiao Ran said with disdain, but her heart was burning with anger. "Isn't this a gift of a pillow for every time you feel sleepy? I'm just going to buy some and I'm worried that I don't have enough money."

"Oh, this is for you."

Wu Man took out another crystal sign and threw it to Xiao Ran. A small building was carved into the inside of the crystal using negative carving, and the three words "Penglai Tower" were written in simplified Chinese on the back.

"In reality, Changchun is very strong, but in Guling Street, Penglailou is number one when it comes to doing business. This is Penglailou's VIP membership card. You can enjoy membership benefits and no transaction fees."

Well, seeing how caring Wu Man was, Xiao Ran was starting to like this guy.

After all, a man who cooks, does laundry, and does all the housework and also gives you money is a rare good man even in real life.

"Thanks!"

After saying thank you, Xiao Ran stopped wasting time and turned around, closed the door and walked downstairs.

Just before he walked out the door, he heard Wu Man leaning on the stair railing and calling him, "Xiao Ran!!"

"what?"

"Come back early in the evening. I will make a whole lamb feast tonight."

"understood."

"Bang!" After closing the door, Xiao Ran couldn't help but shudder, "Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being kept..."

At the window on the second floor, Wu Man looked at Xiao Ran's departing back, holding his chin with one hand, thinking to himself: "Penglai Tower is full of exquisite products. If you get carried away and spend all your money, and then you can't pay the rent when Sister Liu collects it..."

Thinking of this, Wu Man couldn't help but grin and snicker, but then he shook his head: "Forget it, the probability of this happening is not high. It's better to trick him out and kill him than to expect him to make a mistake."

Thinking of Xiao Ran's eyes, Wu Man's eyes became greedy and ferocious. He licked the corner of his lips and said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, those eyes are not cooked yet!!"

As he said this, he suppressed his restlessness, turned around, took out a white apron and tied it around his waist. As the spell pattern on the apron was activated, Wu Man's spirits lifted, and he couldn't wait to go to the kitchen...
