Not a god

Chapter 167 Turmoil
The sun cuts through the canopy of the camphor tree, flowing into a stream of broken gold on the asphalt road. The setting sun penetrates the faded plastic curtain of the newsstand, leaving geometric spots of light on the outdated magazines. The air conditioning in the convenience store overflows into white mist between the opening and closing of the glass door.

With a ding-dong sound, a group of people rode shared bicycles along the roadside. Several students in school uniforms crowded in front of the freezer to pick out sodas, and the proprietress fanned the sweat on her neck with a newspaper. The loudspeaker of the mobile phone store across the street repeatedly said "clearance sale", and a takeaway electric bike passed by a tricycle selling roasted sweet potatoes.

When Yan Emperor first felt the world a thousand years ago, it was that there were a lot of people everywhere.

The dense crowds of people were walking in the narrow streets, wearing clean clothes, talking and laughing, noisy, and everyone had their own things to do. Their faces didn't look happy, but Yan Di felt, um, how to describe it... alive! It felt like they were all alive!
It’s so strange. It’s not like everyone in their world is dead. Never mind. She has no education and can’t describe it.

The second feeling is that everything costs money!

I should have borrowed some money from Wanwan and the others when I parted ways with them.

Without money, she can hardly participate in any activities in this society. When she walks on the street and sees many things, she can only look at them helplessly.

She stood on the side of the road for a long time and observed that these strange yellow two-wheeled vehicles on the side of the road did not seem to belong to anyone.

Anyone can sit on it, and by stepping on the two pedals, the wheels will roll and move quickly around the city.

"Hey, there are a few shared bicycles over there, let's scan..."

"I think my sister is going to use this?"

The two students just found two shared bicycles here, and saw Yan Di standing in front of the bicycles. Yan Di sipped Coke and said calmly: "I don't need it."

The two looked at each other and tried to unlock the door, but for some reason, they felt like the person was staring at them. Finally, they unlocked the door with a sense of stealth and rode away on their bikes.

After walking away, he whispered, "Wow! That sister just now was so beautiful!"

"Is it some big star?"

"I should have asked for his autograph earlier!"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Yan Di had a blank expression on her face. When she heard someone praising her good looks, her oval face became a little rounder. However, she already knew what this thing was - a shared bicycle!
From the name, sharing, it means she can use it even if she has no money.

But this thing seems to be locked.

She thought carefully about how she unlocked the two just now. The first step was to take out a strange black board, and then point the black board at the front of this thing... Good, she couldn't do the first step!

She also noticed that many people on the street seemed to be holding a black board.

Emperor Yan stood at the junction, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

How about burning the lock... No, I promised Wanwan that I can't do anything bad at this time.

It’s so annoying to have no money!
However, at this moment, a middle-aged woman on the street came over and said, "Hello, ma'am. Can I take two minutes to introduce you to our..."

"No time."

"Our Saint Auntie Health Pills..."

"I told you, I'm busy."

"As long as you attend the lecture, you can get free eggs and soy milk..."

"lead the way."

free?

Never mind what it is, she loves free stuff right now.

……

Barbecue stall by the river.

Although the game has already opened 27 city locations, half of the online popularity regarding topics related to the Destiny Man comes from Jiangcheng.

In the final analysis, Jiangcheng was two months ahead of other cities. It was home to many experts, and the only god in the country known on the Internet was also here. In addition, various innovative laws, regulations, and management systems were first piloted here, giving it the aura of being a pioneer.

In the past six months, many people have fled Jiangcheng. After all, it is indeed a little more dangerous than other areas.

But more people, especially those who had awakened their destiny, ran to Jiangcheng.

The monsters here may not necessarily have a higher drop rate, nor may they be easier to fight, but the development here is obviously good, and the various economies of the people of destiny have begun to take shape. It is clearly the most popular city in the new era, the era of spiritual energy revival, and the focus of everyone's attention.

And it is unique, there is no other.

Most of Chen Xi's high school classmates are from Jiangcheng, and most of those gathered here are attending college in Jiangcheng. They all talk about the current situation in Jiangcheng and the general situation in the world.

There is also talk about who has awakened their destiny, and whose destiny is the coolest and most awesome.

However, even though more than four months have passed, only about 10% to 20% of the people with destiny have awakened. There are more than 20 people here, including Chen Xi and Zhen Wen, and there are only three people with destiny in total.

There was also a male classmate who was the math class representative in high school and he awakened in February.

The most prominent one is Zhen Wen. His fate of burning fire is really intimidating.

On the contrary, Chen Xi, who was very impressive in high school, now seems ordinary.

Hearing enhancement can’t be said to be useless, but its auxiliary capabilities are indeed not very impressive.

It’s better to have more fun with the most common fate of moving mountains. The math class representative has awakened to the fate of moving mountains.

This person used to be rather shy, and his family conditions were not very good, so he was a bit timid. But now, his spirit is completely different, he is confident and talkative.

When several female classmates saw him, they were surprised to find that he was quite handsome before.

The classmates were half envious and half teasing: "Wow, He Guang, you used to be laughed at as a thin dog, but now you are a grown man."

Being teased, He shrugged his shoulders, touched his nose, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, he smiled bitterly, and said lightly:
"Actually, I'm not that good. I can't compare to the masters on the Internet."

Everyone: "..."

There's not so much noise here. The flavor of the male protagonist in old online novels is coming out. You must have read too many novels!

Mr. He was obviously a little proud, but those who could gather here basically had no grudges against each other in the past, and looking at his weird appearance, they just thought it was funny, not offensive.

"What does it feel like to awaken your destiny?"

"Have you ever killed an evil corpse?"

"How much money did you make from selling evil spirits?"

The classmates also asked them to perform one.

He Guang performed a series of backflips for them on the spot, like a Hot Wheels, which was quite exciting.

There were many people at the barbecue stalls by the river at night, cheering and applauding.

"Damn it, who is spitting on the ground!"

Anyway, the performance was over and no one paid any attention to him.

"Fatty, come one too!"

"Okay, I'll show you my skills today. If you guys are filming, take out your phones."

He said proudly: "Are you ready? This is the only time you can perform!"

"Stop inking."

"hurry up!"

"Don't face this way, the wind is blowing this way!"

"Watch it!"

Zhen Wen stuck out his butt and took a deep breath, then suddenly spit out a five or six meter long flame that lasted for about four or five seconds. The temperature by the river rose a little, and the evening breeze brought the scorching air and blew onto their faces.

"Fuck!" "Fatty is awesome!"

"I got it, I got it, Fatty!"

Sure enough, it attracted a lot of attention from people around, and after a round of flattery, Fatty Zhen suddenly became very proud.

Someone also asked Chen Xi to perform one.

"Fatty and Lao He have both performed, so why don't Brother Chen do one too!"

Zhen Wen immediately sensed something was wrong. Everyone knew that Chen Xi's ability was to improve his hearing, so what kind of performance could this be? Even if Chen Xi showed that he could hear sounds from far away, it would be meaningless. Compared with what he did before, he seemed a bit lame... And judging from his tone, this person didn't seem to be joking, but more like looking for trouble.

The fat black man took a look and found that it was Zhao Liang.

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Liang liked Zhuzhu in high school, and Zhuzhu was the quiet girl who accidentally knocked over the Coke just now. Rumors were just rumors, and Zhuzhu had always had a crush on Chen Xi in high school.

“……”Wow, what a standard and clichéd plot.

Logically, even if Chen Xi had not awakened his destiny, no one would dare to provoke Chen Xi. But looking at this guy's appearance, it was obvious that he was a little drunk after eating two skewers of barbecue.

The monitor was just as sensitive as he was, sensing that Zhao Liang wanted to make trouble for Chen Xi. The monitor was about to say something to smooth things over, when He Guang, who had done a backflip and touched the phlegm, walked back and whispered:
"Hey, hey, that beauty over there is so tall!"

"Holy crap, is this some big star?"

"You've been looking at me. Were you impressed by the fat guy's acrobatics?"

"What a trick! I have used this great fire to burn several evil creatures to death!" Fatty Zhen also looked around hurriedly: "Where is it?"

Chen Xi also turned around and saw that it was the big Yi Yi. How did she come to the riverside? He said, "It's her friend. She must be here to talk to me about something, right?"

Zhen asked, "Is he from the Jiangda Alliance again?"

Chen Xi shook his head, "No, other friends."

"I thought you, such a busy man, didn't even have time to have a barbecue with us. Is the Jiangda Alliance going to build a branch somewhere else now? It seems that they are also going to change their name?"

"Let's talk about it later. I'll go over and take a look."

After he stood up and walked over, He Guang beside him asked, "Did Lao Chen join the Jiangda Alliance?"

Zhen Wen was happy and sat down to eat skewers: "You don't know, when Jiangda Alliance was first established, it was Chen Xi who started it. Now they are all veterans..."

"Holy crap, is it really true?"

"How awesome is it?"

"But it's normal if it's Chen Xi."

Zhao Liang had just swallowed two mouthfuls of Wusu Big Green Stick and his face was a little hot. He was a little sober now and didn't say a word. He just sat in his seat listening to his classmates bragging.

The sunset painted the last vestiges of clouds, and the evening breeze brought gusts of coolness. In addition to the barbecue stalls, there were actually many snack stalls on the riverside road, as well as people who came out for a walk after dinner.

Yan Di was holding a bottle of Coke in her hand, and through the glass bottle you could see that it was almost empty. She was also holding a bag of eggs... Where did she get the eggs? Did she rob the supermarket?

She was standing alone outside the barbecue stall. After seeing Chen Xi, she took two more sips, and the straw at the bottom of the bottle made a slurping sound as she sucked air.

Chen Xi came over and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping? Why are you here?"

"Oh, I walked around for a while and wanted to buy something, but you guys are so weird, everything costs money..."

She actually wanted to beat around the bush, but then she realized that she had said something really stupid, and the long prelude that was originally supposed to be there was gone, and she just reached out and asked:
"I don't have the money you have here, give me some money."

“…”Are all these gods so direct?

Yan Di had been paying attention to the changes in his expression. She was a particular person, so she quickly added: "Of course I won't take it for nothing. I'll give you something else in exchange. I have all the natural disaster-level evil items, but I didn't bring them with me. I owe them to you first."

"I don't have any cash on me."

"You didn't even bring money when you went out... That's not right, how did you give me the money today?"

“Pay with WeChat.”

"Huh? You guys'... prestige can actually be used as money?"

"It's not that prestige. Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Let's go. It's almost time to go back..."

"Oh yeah, I just hit someone again."

"..."

"But this time I'm not just hitting anyone!"

"Is that a serious fight?"

"I'm not serious. How serious do you need to be to fight a second-level monster?"

"Second level?"

Chen Xi sensed something was wrong. He fought a second-level fighter in the city?

Could it be that a second-level evil corpse entered reality from the dreamland and was just encountered by this guy?

If that's the case, it's a good thing.

"What's it called..." Emperor Yan thought about it seriously and said:
"It seems like I beat up a white fox saint... I didn't want to fight with anyone, but I was listening to a lecture, and suddenly a group of pastoral guards barged in!"

The Mu Shou Si will still exist a thousand years later, and it is the believer’s cultivation of Zheng Yin Tian.

At that time, she was just thinking about getting an egg and soy milk, sitting there, and listening to the person on the stage talking about some Saint Aunt Health Pills.

She was not stupid. She realized soon after sitting down and listening that eggs and soy milk were just gimmicks to attract these elderly people who wanted to take advantage, and then to sell some health products that looked so fake.

I didn't expect that even in this seemingly prosperous and harmonious world, there are people with bad consciences.

He even cheated the elderly out of their money.

But of course you can't fool her, she just comes to get eggs and soy milk.

And she had no money to buy it.

However, halfway through the lecture, a group of pastoral guards suddenly broke in, led by a young man of the second-level monarch.

"You are a government official, and you are here to ruin my good deeds at this time!"

"Saint White Fox, surrender!"

"Really? Just you, a mere second-level monarch?"

"Brother Fan, why are you talking nonsense to her?"

"It seems that I have been silent for too long and you have all forgotten my great reputation!"

After the cutscene, both sides started fighting directly.

The stage that was originally used for a lecture suddenly turned into a fight scene, which was very exciting... What a ridiculous fight, just a bunch of noobs fighting each other!
In the end, the White Fox Saint Lady was more skilled than the others and actually bewitched and manipulated all the people from the Mushou Division, leaving only the Mushou Jun who was desperately resisting.

Emperor Yan could see that Lord Mu was obviously stronger than Saint White Fox in terms of personal combat power. However, facing his colleagues who were besieging him, he did not dare to act ruthlessly. Saint White Fox was laughing so hard in the back as she watched Lord Mu continue to get new scars on his body and finally fall to the ground due to exhaustion. She even walked over to him arrogantly and stepped on his head.

However, just as she was about to say a few sarcastic words, the White Fox Saint suddenly realized something was wrong.

Among the new believers who had all run away, there was actually one who didn't run away?
I saw a young and beautiful girl sitting alone under the stage, holding a bottle of Coke in her hand, looking at the stage in a daze.

Seeing her looking over, the woman asked:
"Um...are there any eggs left?"
