Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 90 Happy People (Fourth Update)

The laughter was sweet and crisp.

"Huang Le, this way!!"

"Huang Le, do you think I'm good-looking?"

Under the big tree in summer, the girl turned her head with a smile. The sunlight shone on her face, making it difficult to see her facial features clearly, but her smile seemed to be imprinted on Huang Le's heart.

"Good, beautiful, really beautiful..."

Huang Le opened his hands unconsciously, but then he heard a sound of breaking wind and a slap on the face. Huang Le suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. He saw Xiao Ran and the shop assistants looking at him strangely.

"I……"

Huang Le covered his face and looked at Xiao Ran at a loss.

"You are possessed by evil spirits. The three of them couldn't stop you just now. Seeing that you were about to crawl into the coffin, they had no choice but to be ruthless."

Xiao Ran explained helplessly.

The three guys were still frightened. The energy Huang Le had just displayed was like that of a wild boar out of a cage.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran saw this and slapped the man to wake him up, otherwise if Huang Le really got into the coffin, there would probably be some trouble.

“Is… that so?!”

Huang Le glanced at the woman in the coffin with lingering fear, and suddenly he shuddered and dared not look again.

However, Xiao Ran moved his face closer and looked carefully at the corpse in front of him. An extremely manic death aura was accumulated under the mask of the corpse. If it were not for the mask, the corpse would have been resurrected long ago.

"As expected of a D-rank corpse, it is indeed different from ordinary ones."

Xiao Ran nodded in his heart. With this corpse, eighty percent of the conditions for upgrading his [Evil-Suppressing Order] had been met.

The remaining 20% actually depends on whether you can break through the master-level suturing technique.

With an E-grade corpse, he could easily achieve an A-grade rating.

But it’s hard to say about the corpse in front of me.

After the body is handed over, it is locked again and talismans are affixed.

The waiter said to Xiao Ran, "Sir, if you have some free time later, you can go to the back and take a look."

"later?"

"Yes, there are also some individual customers who temporarily set up small stalls outside to do some small business."

"Okay, I know."

After the waiter left, Xiao Ran put the coffin into the space, turned back to look at Huang Le, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I was a little too heavy."

"No, no, no, if it's not serious, I'm afraid I'll lose my life. The female corpse in the coffin is so evil, what do you want her to do?"

Xiao Ran didn't answer Huang Le's question, but just asked, "I plan to go for a walk in the back, how about you?"

"Together, together. I've informed my wife that it's okay if I don't go home tonight."

Seeing that Huang Le was in good spirits, Xiao Ran went downstairs with him. Before leaving, Huang Le collected the remaining melon seeds and snacks on the table. These things were not valuable, but they tasted really good.

Especially the little pastries, I can give them to my daughter to try when I get home.

After leaving the business place, Xiao Ran walked to the back as the waiter instructed.

At this moment, the huge park was eerily quiet. It was already 1:30 in the morning, and there were few people left in the park. Even if there were, everyone kept their distance tacitly.

"I haven't asked you yet, what profession did you get after you passed the trial?"

"Spirit, didn't you change one just now?"

Huang Le had actually been thinking about this question for quite some time: "I saw you also exchanged for a spirit, this profession seems to be very powerful."

"So you are also possessed by a spirit."

Xiao Ran remembered that Xu Pan was the spirit possessor. According to the introduction in [Basic Encyclopedia for Beginners], the profession of spirit possessor was quite powerful, especially after possessing an evil object.

Huang Le seemed to have misunderstood Xiao Ran's meaning. He blinked and asked, "Brother, we will both be floating spirits in the future. Isn't that a duplication of professions?"

"No, no, no, I'm not possessed by a spirit. I just need the help of this spell pattern to upgrade."

Xiao Ran explained.

"Is that so? That's even better. I read in a book that we should try our best to stick together and form our own circle. From now on, I, Huang Le, will follow you. Wherever you point me, I will go without hesitation."

Huang Le patted his chest and assured.

"We are all good brothers. It's a bit strange to say such things."

After actually getting to know each other, Xiao Ran was quite satisfied with Huang Le. Although Huang Le was a little older, he was mature and steady. The key was that he was very decisive when it came time to cooperate with him.

Moreover, the fighting power of the spirits is good. As long as they are matched with the evil spirits, their fighting power will soar. Speaking of which, Xiao Ran has a pair of embroidered shoes in his hand. He plans to wait and see. When he enters the mystery city next time, he will confirm Huang Le's character. If there is no problem, he will give him the embroidered shoes.

You can't blame Xiao Ran for being cautious. You can only say that people's hearts are hidden. It won't hurt to take a closer look.

Besides, it is also a good idea to give Huang Le some time. If his ideas do not match his own, they can part ways amicably.

Just as the guy said, there are indeed quite a few scattered stalls in the back.

The locations of these stalls are very bad. If the waiter hadn't reminded him, Xiao Ran probably wouldn't have gone this way.

In fact, this is what is called a wild stall.

Just like the snack streets like Shizijie, all the stalls there are charged.

What about those who don’t want to pay management fees?

Just set up some stalls along the road outside the cross street, so that you can attract traffic without paying any money.

The disadvantage is that you have to look at the mood of the urban management.

The principle is the same here, except that Changchun Club is more tolerant of beginners. Even if these people do not participate, they will say goodbye to the guests before they leave.

From this point of view, Changchun Club is still relatively authentic.

But thinking about what Changchun Guild had done in the Mystery City, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel that Changchun Guild was hypocritical.

There aren't actually that many things on these stalls. They just spread out a blanket with a few scattered items on it and then put prices on them. Basically, they don't support bartering and only accept paper money for the dead.

This is understandable, after all, they do not have the terrifying mobilization capabilities of the Changchun Society.

Using ghost money can directly solve many problems.

But the price...

Xiao Ran suddenly felt that the people selling jade outside when he came here had become kind.

You should know that one ghost money can be worth 10,000 yuan in the company, and it is legal and compliant.

Anything here is priced at more than ten coins for the dead, which really discourages Xiao Ran. He still has a lot of coins for the dead, but he can't bear to waste them like this.

"Hiss, it smells so good."

At this moment, Huang Le suddenly raised his nose and smelled a fragrance coming over. The more he smelled, the more fragrant it became. Looking back, he saw a young man standing on the stall next to him.

She has short naturally curly hair, wears a white chef's coat, a black apron, and black rubber gloves.

On the cart in front of me, there was a particularly large jar of meat, and the fragrance I smelled came from it.

Come to think of it, it's strange. I ate two bowls of stewed noodles. Even if the [Spirit Attachment] spell strengthened my physique, I should be full by now.

But when he smelled the fragrance, Huang Le couldn't help but drool under his tongue.

"Well, it looks delicious. Do you want to try it?" Huang Le turned around and found that Xiao Ran had walked to the stall in front and stopped.

That stall looks like a fortune teller's.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was busy, Huang Le didn't disturb him and ran over happily.

"What is this for? What's the price?"

Huang Le was actually still a little unsure, so he asked about the price first. If it was too expensive, he would just give up.

However, the young man looked up and saw Huang Le's uneasy look. Instead, a very friendly smile appeared on his thin face: "I have sold all day today. There are only two left. It will not taste good if I take them back. You came at the right time. I will give you both of them for free."

"fifteen?"

Huang Le's eyes widened: "RMB?"

"Of course, what else?" The young man looked at Huang Le in confusion and pointed at the photo under the table. It said [Happy People's Sauce-flavored Lamb Knuckle, 20 each]

"Oh, I see. No need to be cheap. I want both."

The young man smiled and opened the tank cover. As a stream of hot air poured out from inside, Huang Le couldn't help but take a sniff. Suddenly, his whole body felt lighter. In that instant, it seemed as if all the burdens on his shoulders were thrown away.

"What's that smell? Why...it smells so good."

When the young man heard Huang Le's praise, a smile spread across his face. He took out a special small iron hook and scraped the inside of the jar a few times, then he fished out two small red pieces of meat elbows.

The meat elbow is not big, and looks about the size of a child's fist. It is tied up with straw string. When it is fished out, you can still see the golden fat on it swaying on the iron hook.

"This is what I made specially. It's called Braised Lamb Knuckle with Sauce. But it's not made with lamb knuckle. It's made with the belly of a lamb. It's wrapped with spices and lamb tenderloin. After it's set, it's stewed over high heat and then slowly cooked over low heat. The last two may have a stronger flavor."

The young man carefully cut the straw rope on top, then placed the two little meat elbows together, inserted two pieces of incense as decoration, and then presented them to Huang Le.

"I'm not polite about that."

Huang Le heard this, picked up the table knife with a smile and began to taste it. The blade touched the meat elbow without any force, the meat was cut like tofu, and he was ready to take a bite of the lamb elbow.

Huang Le's eyes became misty, and the smell of meat mixed with the aroma of wine went straight into his head through his mouth. It was an indescribable taste. If one had to describe it, there were only two words... satisfaction!
