Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 174 Today’s grudge is no longer fresh overnight
"Today's events, today's reports! Changchun Club's pioneering team is recruiting! There are subsidies for joining the team!!"

Early in the morning, there were many children on Guling Street holding newspapers and selling them everywhere.

This time the newspaper sold very well.

Everyone bought one, opened it and looked at it, and they were all delighted.

"Good boy, the Changchun Society is determined to win this time!!"

Looking at the so-called subsidized prices above, I don’t know how many people sighed and how many were excited.

Pharmacist subsidy: 300
Horizontal refining subsidy: 200
Beastmaster subsidy: 200
Dream Stealer Subsidy: 3500
Subsidy for skillful craftsmanship: 200
Ancient Mirror Subsidy: 200
Other miscellaneous subsidies are 100, and additional profits will be distributed depending on the circumstances.

In addition, once the land is successfully developed, all participants will have priority development rights.

"Why is the subsidy for Dream Stealer so high? 3500? Are you crazy??"

"Dream stealers are rare. It is said that dream stealers can steal other people's dreams and change their memories in dreams."

"Sounds like it's very powerful."

"Not only that, it sounds amazing. There was a dream stealer in the past who changed the memories of everyone in a mysterious city. A group of evil spirits knelt on the ground and called her aunt."

"So stupid??"

"Yeah, it's really cool. People like this have relatives wherever they go, but their own combat power is very low. And if they choose the path of a dream stealer, they need to give up two secondary jobs as a price. Even if they have, it is difficult for them to grow up. It is said that there are other prices, but I don't know the details."

Everyone was discussing the contents of the newspaper in the coffee shop. Xiao Ran was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, listening with his ears perked up. These days, Xiao Ran sat here when he had nothing to do.

It's not for drinking coffee. Xiao Ran can't appreciate this kind of bitter and astringent coffee, so he always adds a few more packets of sugar every time.

He simply liked the atmosphere of chatting here, and... it was close to home.

"Wu Man left in a hurry early this morning. Could he be going to participate in this land reclamation?"

Xiao Ran looked at the contents of the newspaper and couldn't help but start to wonder.

"If Wu Man really went to participate in the land reclamation this time, if I ran into him..."

Xiao Ran narrowed her eyes for a moment. It was hard to tell whether the two would be jealous of each other when they met, or would they cooperate delicately.

Although Wu Man has always been nice to her, Xiao Ran has never felt at ease with him.

At this time, two middle-aged men and a young man walked in from outside the cafe.

The three of them didn't drink coffee either, they just shouted into the coffee shop: "Is there anyone who wants to team up to explore the wasteland? We can look after each other. If we don't go deep into the wasteland, we can just follow behind and get the minimum living allowance!"

The so-called minimum living standard is to complete the main tasks of the mystery city to the minimum extent.

This time Changchun will be reclaiming new land, and the main forces are in the front. Everyone just needs to follow behind and put in a little effort. Once the reclamation is successful, even if it is the lowest level of subsistence allowance, it will be a considerable income.

If you are lucky enough, you can get one or two E-level cursed items, which is a huge profit.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this.

This kind of temporary team is not uncommon, but unless you are familiar with someone, who would be willing to follow someone else's team easily? What if the other party has bad intentions...

Seeing that no one responded, the middle-aged man in the lead said, "We have a skilled craftsman in our team, so we can just have an assistant who has the means to protect himself."

The skill of the craftsman ranks in the middle among many D-level professions, and he is good at making all kinds of ingenious props.

For example, on campus, the cloth tiger thrown by Chives is the masterpiece of a skilled craftsman.

Having a skilled craftsman following the team can greatly improve the comfort of the team, and you can enjoy your life even in the wilderness.

Even skilled craftsmen can make all kinds of engineering items, build temporary fortresses, traps and so on.

Now some of them are attracted to each other.

"Can I give it a try?"

At this time, Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the back, slowly raised his hand.

The three of them looked at Xiao Ran, and the middle-aged man in the lead walked up to Xiao Ran and asked, "Brother, what's your profession?"

"The corpse collector."

Xiao Ran's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. This is a very unpopular profession.

It is a miscellaneous subject and its strength is difficult to judge, but the corpse receivers all have the ability to control corpses, so they are not weak in combat power.

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Let's make it clear first. In a wild group, whoever contributes the most will have priority in picking up the spoils. I can only protect one person. In case of a crisis, we will each take care of ourselves."

"clear."

Xiao Ran nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had no problem, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand towards him: "Apple!"

Xiao Ran took her hand and gave her a name that was closer to her: "Durian!"

Apple couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that the guy in front of him seemed to be more interesting than he thought: "Then let's go, there's another person waiting at the station, let's talk about the details while we walk."

Xiao Ran followed the four people out of the cafe and walked straight towards the station.

On the way, Apple introduced the names of the other three people to Xiao Ran.

"Juzi, a skilled craftsman, and a warrior monk on the side."

"Pineapple, Baixi, and Sideline are animal languages."

"There is also a watermelon, who does crosstalk and has a sideline as an onomatopoeia assistant."

"I am a dual-professional in Henglian and Chongxie!"

When Apple introduced herself, a look of pride appeared on her face, but she did have the capital. The bonus from her dual professions was terrifying. The combination of horizontal refining and worshipping evil, to some extent, made Apple already capable of competing for the top tier.

Xiao Ran glanced at the large flower on Pingguo's arm, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he added: "My side job is a martial monk."

In fact, it is not difficult to see that the profession of monk has now become the first choice for most beginners. After all, it is the most direct way to improve combat effectiveness and has stronger life-saving ability.

Seeing Xiao Ran's indifferent expression, Pingguo's face also looked relaxed. This was not the first time he had formed a wild group. Sometimes he met some people who would just quit after hearing that he had dual professions.

After all, it is not uncommon for thieves to rob each other in the mystery city.

Xiao Ran looked so calm, and it was obvious that his own strength was not too bad.

When the four arrived at the station, they saw that there were actually quite a few people waiting for the bus at the station which was usually deserted.

"Apple, this way!!!"

A short little girl wearing glasses waved her hand in the crowd, motioning them to come over.

This girl is the watermelon in Apple’s mouth, which makes Xiao Ran feel a little surprised. What’s surprising is that this girl’s profession is actually crosstalk?

After all, few girls choose to be crosstalk performers.

Why do I say so? Everyone who often listens to crosstalk knows it.

Crosstalk requires four lessons...

Yellow, vulgar, muddy and fishy.

It's not clear whether a girl's crosstalk sounds good or not.

The famous crosstalk artist Gangzi opens his mouth every day: "You were not at home that day, your mother and I... hehe..."

Uncle Qian: "What are you doing?"

As Gangzi put on his pants, he said, "Sew some clothes!"

The audience laughed knowingly, and the joke was over. If you had used a female crosstalk performer, it wouldn't have been funny.

"You were not at home that day, your father and I...hehe..."

Hearing this, he said: "Ouch, there is such a good thing? Why don't you take me with you?"

The audience below the stage glared at me, and I was afraid they would start to make a fuss, and this joke would not be acceptable.

Therefore, girls are inherently shorter when it comes to crosstalk performance.

But no matter what, this is their own choice, and Xiao Ran can't ask about it.

"This is Durian, the corpse-stitcher, the monk!"

Apple introduced Xiao Ran to Xigua, and Xigua nodded and smiled at Xiao Ran. After the two of them were polite to each other for a while, they stood in a circle tacitly.

After all, there are too many people at the station, and we might have to squeeze into the bus later.

If anyone is slow and there are no seats left, he or she can either get off the bus and wait, or rely on his or her own strength to get in.

During this period of time, more and more people gathered around.

"Wait a minute, Orange and Durian, you two lead the way and protect the watermelon. I'll be the last one to leave. Go in and grab a seat first. I'll buy the ticket. But be careful not to fight in the car."

Apple is still very familiar with the rules of the bus.

You know, if anyone dares to fight on the bus, the driver's slap in the face is no joke.

"it is good!"

Xiao Ran nodded, thinking to himself that he should not reveal the red armband. After all, he had just joined the team, so it would be better to keep a low profile.

"DiDi!!"

Just at this moment, the sound of a car horn was heard in the white fog in the distance. Everyone widened their eyes and watched the car slowly driving out of the white fog. Xiao Ran could feel that everyone was ready to go.

This reminded him of the time when he was squeezing into the bus outside the school.

Before the car stopped, some people jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards the door.

"rush!!"

Apple snorted coldly, and raised his fists suddenly, sweeping a violent gust of wind towards the surroundings.

The ferocity of the double D profession was revealed at this moment. Relying on the attribute bonus, the strong wind that was stirred up was not something that ordinary people could withstand. The people who had just crowded over were immediately pushed back.

Xiao Ran had already taken a step forward and rushed towards the car.

The driver in the car noticed Xiao Ran from afar. Seeing him jumping in through the car door, he immediately pressed the door-opening button.

“Puff…Bang…”

As the car door opened, Xiao Ran already had one foot on the door frame. Everything seemed to be easier than he thought.

However, the second foot had not yet had time to jump into the car.

The black swan in my chest suddenly emitted a strong alarm.

"not good!"

Xiao Ran's heart sank, he stepped on the door frame lightly with his toes, used his lightness skill to drift with the wind, did a mid-air spin and flew backwards.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

He had just dodged when three arrows pierced through the air and hit the ground in front of the door. Half of the arrows were stuck in the cement, and the tails were still trembling, making a sharp buzzing sound.

Xiao Ran looked up at the arrow on the ground and his face suddenly turned cold.

If I had been a step slower, these three arrows would have pierced three holes in my body.

Everyone was also stunned. Even if they were fighting for a position, no one would use weapons.

Apple looked back with a grim face and saw three people jumping down from the carport.

One of them was holding a short bow with an arrow on it, and he would shoot anyone who dared to rush into the car.

The other two stood aside, the one on the left holding a knife, and the one on the right holding a silver paper talisman.

"Shen Kuaidao!!"

Apple obviously recognized one of them and frowned, "Shen Kuaidao, if you use your weapons, you will be in trouble."

Hearing that it was Shen Kuaidao, the group of people who were originally filled with anger looked at each other and silently took two steps back.

Shen Kuaidao is a master of two D-level professions, weapon casting and refining. It is said that his third profession seems to be chef, and he will be promoted soon.

There are many masters of the three professions, but Shen Kuaidao is famous for his ruthlessness.

This person had been in prison and was reportedly sentenced to eight years in prison for serious injury. Not long after he was released from prison, he became an initiate and became famous for his sharp knife skills. After becoming an initiate, the first thing he did was to go home, chop off the head of the person who had reported him that year, and kill the entire family.

He is also a wanted criminal by the company, and the company will give a huge bonus whether he is caught alive or dead.

Shen Kuaidao also knew that the company was looking for him, so he only dared to stay in the mystery city and rarely returned to reality. This man was a madman who did not leave himself any way out, and no one wanted to provoke him easily.

As for the two people beside Shen Kuaidao, no one recognized them, but they were able to hang out with Shen Kuaidao.
"This place is beyond the scope of Bone Spirit Street, so mind your own business! Let's have a fight."

Shen Kuaidao squinted and stared at the apple.

Apple frowned, looked at Watermelon and others behind him, and finally took two steps back.

Even though they are both dual professions, Apple is not willing to easily provoke such a ruthless person.

Besides, Apple had fought with Shen Kuaidao before. Although they were both horizontal cultivators, Apple knew well that he was no match for Shen Kuaidao, as the other's swordsmanship was stronger than his.

"Hey! Thanks."

Shen Kuaidao grinned and jumped down from the platform roof with two teammates. They walked onto the bus in the gazes of everyone. Before reaching the door, the archer next to Shen Kuaidao looked back at Xiao Ran, pointed at Xiao Ran, then made a throat-wiping gesture, and finally slowly gave him a middle finger before turning around and getting on the bus.

"Forget it, let's wait for the next bus tomorrow."

Apple didn't want to have any interaction with Shen Kuaidao and others. He felt uncomfortable even riding in the same car with them.

There were more than one person who held this idea, and many people began to back off.

"apple!"

At this time, Xiao Ran came up with a dark face, looked up at Apple and said, "You guys should find another teammate."

"What??"

Apple and the other three were stunned, and watched Xiao Ran walk towards the car with his head lowered.

"Brother!" Seeing this, Ping Guo quickly grabbed Xiao Ran and said, "Don't mess around. These people are not good people. There is no need to provoke these crazy people!"

"Yes, let's wait a little longer. The Changchun meeting hasn't started yet. I guess they have to rest in the mountain temple. It's fine if we go a day later."

Xigua walked forward and said with concern.

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky."

Xiao Ran turned around and glanced at Apple's four members. He was very happy to see that they cared about him and it didn't seem fake. It was rare to meet such teammates in a wild group.

"It's just that today's grudge is no longer fresh overnight."

Xiao Ran said as he took out the [Red Armband] from the space, turned around and jumped into the car.

　I have put the level advancement sequence list after the free chapter, which is after the release remarks. It does not affect the reading.
