Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 382: Strange Stories
The music in the square became more and more lively, and the fireworks in the sky continued.

"The Changchun Association is still the Changchun Association after all. After the last dream pool, it has recovered so quickly."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Penglai Tower and Donglongfang have been doing well recently, we still have to rely on Changchun Association to get the most out of them. The better Changchun Association is, the more benefits we, the beginners, will get."

Many onlookers spoke up for the Changchun Association, which resonated with many people.

This naturally includes many newcomers who have just become beginners.

Their feelings are the most direct.

When they were still young and ignorant, the Changchun Association's ubiquitous brochures and various entry-level career reference books distributed for free really helped them a lot.

I heard that there is now a Changchun Teahouse APP, which can be used not only in real life, but also in places like Guling Street where there is no internet.

This APP can realize functions such as anonymous chatting. As long as you register as a member of Changchun Club, you can enjoy various benefits. You can even team up with each other to explore several developed maze cities recommended by Changchun Club and quickly improve your strength.

They are willing to invest in ordinary beginners, which is why Changchun Club always surpasses Penglai Tower and Donglongfang in the reputation of many beginners.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, the door of the second-floor terrace of Changchun Guild Hall was pushed open, and the sound of gongs and drums was heard.

Immediately afterwards, handfuls of red envelopes fell from the sky.

This immediately attracted a scramble among the crowd. Xiao Ran moved as fast as lightning. He raised his empty hands and easily snatched several nearby red envelopes. When they opened them, they saw that the amounts were not small.

One red envelope contains five paper money for the dead, which is equivalent to the reward for an ordinary trial.

"You are really generous."

Xiao Ran looked at the rain of red envelopes in front of him and couldn't help but sigh at the other party's wealth.

"Look, someone is coming out."

Everyone looked up and saw a young man walking out from the attic. He was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit. After walking out, he waved to everyone.

At this time, the music and lion fighting downstairs stopped tacitly.

"Everyone, I am Xiao Baifeng, who was favored by all the seniors and became one of the new heads of the association. Today, I set up the Dragon and Phoenix Association to recruit talents for my Changchun Association.

A special service class, a specialized class, and two trainee classes were formed, each with twelve students, and each person will receive one-on-one instruction.

With the support of special resources, students can graduate with D level, complete double D level courses, and further study with triple D level. "

Everyone started whispering to each other when they heard this.

"Graduating from D level, double D training, and further studying at triple D level, how much resources will be spent on this?"

"It seems that Changchun suffered heavy losses after the last Mengchi incident. This requires a large-scale expansion of the talent pool."

"That's great! If I get in, I won't have to worry about anything anymore."

Xiao Ran stood in the crowd and frowned when he heard this.

How much resources does a 3D-level expert have to invest? There is no standard for this.

Because the advancement standards for each profession are different, but if you think about it, it will take at least nearly a thousand ghost coins.

This does not include cursed objects, it is just the consumption on the spell patterns. The real difficulty lies in how to improve professional skills.

In this regard, Changchun will have a huge advantage.

Xiao Ran learned from Shouye's memory that Changchun would have a place for retirement in reality.

They are all inheritors of folk crafts in reality.

These people all have real abilities and skills, and they come from all walks of life.

These people are supported by the Changchun Association in a real nursing home for a long time, and the food and drink environment are excellent.

The only requirement is to pass on one's skills, and the apprentices will pass them on.

Who wouldn't agree to such a good thing?

Therefore, Changchun has the conditions to train talents on such a large scale.

It's just this person...

Xiao Ran looked at the young face of Xiao Baifeng, but Shouye had no impression of this person in his memory.

It is really incredible that this person could become the fourth leader of the Changchun Society in such a short period of time.

I'm afraid there must have been some changes within the Changchun Society, otherwise they wouldn't have pushed a young man with no foundation to the top so easily.

After Xiao Baifeng's passionate speech, more people flocked to Changchun Guild Hall to sign up.

Suddenly, firecrackers rang out and fireworks were set off.

The banquets were held one table after another.

It's a complete money-burning move, but the effect is surprisingly good.

It is said that some people have passed the assessment one after another and entered the candidate list for the student class.

Xiao Ran didn't ask about the assessment criteria. It had nothing to do with him anyway. After taking Qiu Kui to watch the fireworks and lion dance in the square for a while, Xiao Ran bought Qiu Kui a string of candied haws and walked slowly home.

"Master, what do those guys do and why are they so rich?"

On the way back, Qiu Kui counted the red envelope that Xiao Ran had snatched. The money in the red envelope alone was 45 ghost money.

For ordinary beginners, this amount of money is a considerable windfall.

Of course, this is also the reason why Xiao Ran, who has the magic hand, grabs tickets much faster than others. Most people are lucky to grab one or two. "They are doing business, but their business is not something that most people can do."

"Is business so profitable?? Then I want to do business in the future too."

When Qiu Kui heard about making money in business, his eyes were full of stars. He was a real money-grubber.

"This is easy. I'll give it to you later."

Xiao Ran pinched Qiu Kui's little face. When she had further improved the Amazing Pavilion and completely opened up the supply channels, she could consider modifying the basement and turning it into a shop for the Amazing Pavilion.

It would be a good idea to let Qiu Kui take care of it then.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

At this time, several fireworks exploded behind, with a huge bang, which deafened people's ears.

Xiao Ran didn't care at first, but for some reason, when he heard the huge rumbling sound, his heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Owner!!"

At this time, Qiu Kui, who was holding Xiao Ran's hand, suddenly felt something. He turned his head abruptly and looked behind him. His face, which originally looked like a porcelain doll, was now pale and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Okra, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ran noticed that something was wrong with Qiu Kui's condition and asked hurriedly.

I saw Qiu Kui staring into the distance, and the fear in his eyes became more and more intense.

"She is coming!"

"she??"

Xiao Ran didn't understand what Qiu Kui meant at first, but when he saw the direction Qiu Kui's eyes were staring, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Could it be that... the sealed guy has already rushed out?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran secretly thought that something was wrong.

You have to know that there are a lot of people in the square now, basically most of the people in Bone Spirit Street are there.

If the other party came for Changchun at this time, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He quickly pulled Qiu Kui and ran home faster.

They were not far from their home. They just had to walk across the street and along the alley.

Normally this distance would only take about ten minutes, but for some reason, when Xiao Ran walked back today, he felt that the road was particularly long.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers behind him was getting louder and louder, but Xiao Ran's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Beads of sweat the size of beans began to seep out of my back. The cool breeze blew on my body, and I felt chilly all over.

Just when Xiao Ran was less than seven hundred meters away from his home, suddenly, the fireworks stopped, and the noisy sounds of gongs and drums in the distance also disappeared.

Xiao Ran stopped and looked suspiciously towards the square behind him.

He looked around and saw that the square, which should have been brightly lit, was now completely dark.

The whole world seemed to be grabbed by the throat by an invisible hand, erasing all sounds.

And the darkness that swallowed up all light sources was now rapidly approaching this side.

"Warning! Warning! A strange story has appeared on Bone Spirit Street. All residents please go home as soon as possible. In three minutes, Bone Spirit Street will be closed until the next morning."

"Warning! Bone Spirit Street is about to enter the ghost story stage. During this stage, all beginners cannot leave Bone Spirit Street!"

"Tip 1: A strange story has arrived. All newcomers please close the door and do not go out!"

“Tip 2: If a yellow-skinned person knocks on your door and asks for something, please give it to him as soon as possible!!”

"Tip 3: If the yellow-skinned guy gets the things and refuses to leave, don't promise him anything, or you will be in great danger."

"Tip 4: Keep your doors closed, watch your home, and if you hear crying in your backyard, don't be curious."

"Tip 5: Don't go out, don't go out, don't go out! In this weird story, no one who goes out is alive!"

The series of warnings and prompts made Xiao Ran feel his scalp tingling. Only then did he hear screams and a lot of messy footsteps coming from the street behind him.

Obviously, most people on Guling Street have received the alarm and reminder. If they cannot find a shelter in time within three minutes, they will surely die.

At this time, Xiao Ran heard footsteps running towards this side, but he didn't care about that. He picked up Qiu Kui and ran home with all his strength.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Xiao Ran saw Sister Liu standing there, looking around anxiously.

When he saw Xiao Ran coming back with Qiu Kui, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Xiao Ran to come in quickly.

"Wait, brother, wait for us!!"

Just as Xiao Ran walked into the house, he heard someone shouting "Wait a minute" not far away.

Looking back, they saw a man and two women rushing towards them.

The three of them looked nervous, and even shouted to Xiao Ran with pleading eyes: "Brother, wait for us."

Looking at the three figures chasing after him, Xiao Ran frowned, but did not close the door. Instead, he made room for the three people to come in.

As soon as the three of them entered the room, Xiao Ran looked down at the black swan brooch on his chest, and slowly closed the door in silence...
