Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

After Luo Qiyang's death, Da Meng seemed to have completely returned to normal.

Apart from his pale face, which seemed to be due to excessive blood loss, there was nothing else wrong with him. However, just to be on the safe side, Cheng Zhuo still let him lean against a corner alone and gave him some food.

"Have something to eat."

Cheng Zhuo took out some biscuits and water, handed them to the two sisters, and also gave one to the boy with glasses and the mother holding the baby.

He actually had quite a lot of food in his storage space, but it wasn't appropriate to take it out in front of these people.

A chorus of swallowing sounds immediately filled the stone hall.

A group of people wanted to ask for some food and drink, but hesitated to go forward.

They suddenly felt a pang of regret, thinking that if thirty or forty people had attacked together, it wouldn't have been difficult to subdue the green-haired brothers.

If I had known to be on good terms with those twin sisters, I would at least dare to ask them for food and drink now.

The campfire flickered on and off.

Before long, the crowd in the stone hall split into several groups.

Cheng Zhuo and his group sat together, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing.

Most of the others leaned against the other side.

They feared Cheng Zhuo, yet dared not leave.

"Grandma, I'm hungry..." The chubby boy tugged at the old woman's robe, his voice trembling with tears, "I want biscuits, I want water..."

The old woman looked at her with affection and hugged her chubby grandson.

Her eyes darted around, secretly glancing at Cheng Zhuo's backpack, then she turned to the person beside her, lowering her voice to incite him:

"He seems to have a lot of food on him, should we go ask him for some? There are so many of us!"

Someone in the crowd chimed in:

"Exactly! With so many people, are they afraid of a single crossbow? If he doesn't give it to us, we can subdue him in an instant, and his fat cat and mech won't dare to make a move!"

"Oh? You'd like to go first?"

Someone suddenly chimed in.

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent again.

A middle-aged man with a small mustache seemed unable to resist any longer. Mustering his courage, he walked over to Cheng Zhuo's side and said with a forced smile:

"Hey bro, could you sell some cookies and water?"

Cheng Zhuo leaned against the stone pillar, tapping the cookie box absentmindedly with his fingertips, without even looking up:

"one thousand."

"A thousand?!" The mustache's voice rose instinctively.

"What you're doing is no different from robbery!"

Cheng Zhuo rolled her eyes at him:

"What's the difference between locking people outside the city and murder?"

Xia Chan had already told him everything that had happened during the day.

Cheng Zhuo felt that he was already incredibly kind by not throwing these people out of the city, given their indifference and selfishness.

The man with the small mustache choked for a moment, then argued:

"Th-that wasn't the door we closed! It was the green-haired brothers who did it!"

Cheng Zhuo raised his finger and pointed outside the hall to the head of the green-haired brother, which was hanging on the opposite stone beam.

"So, it's not you who are hanging there."

The man with the small mustache instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and through gritted teeth, he swiped a thousand city-state coins from his watch. "Here you go!"

As he spoke, he reached for the biscuits and water in front of Cheng Zhuo.

Cheng Zhuo pressed down on the water bottle:

"One thousand is for cookies, two thousand is for water."

"you--!"

The little mustache was so angry he wanted to curse, but he swallowed the words back.

He shamelessly threw out another two thousand.

Seeing the little mustache spending money on food and drink, the others who were almost burning with thirst couldn't resist joining in.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay Cheng Zhuo the money.

"Brother Zhuo, we might be staying here for several days. Are you eating enough?"

Xia Chan glanced worriedly at Cheng Zhuo's backpack, and when she saw a large amount of water and compressed biscuits, her eyes widened...

Eh?

Why haven't the numbers decreased after selling so many?

Upon hearing her words, those who had initially thought it was only a day and were waiting for rescue could no longer sit still and flocked over.

"The price has gone up, it's doubled."

Cheng Zhuo pointed to the backpack behind him, "There aren't many left."

"What? Sir, you can't just raise the price like that!" a woman in a floral dress exclaimed anxiously. "It was a thousand a moment ago, how can you double it like that?"

"Do you want it or not?" Cheng Zhuo asked impatiently.

"I want it, even if she doesn't want it, I want it!"

"Me too!"

……

The crowd immediately erupted into chaos, with the notification sounds of account transfers ringing out incessantly.

I was afraid that if I was even a step too slow, I would lose it all.

It's really easy to make money when you're down on your luck.

Looking at the tens of thousands of yuan in income that would soon follow, Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, he felt no burden in earning money from these people.

The old woman in her nightgown finally couldn't resist her grandson's pleas and mustered her courage to come over:

"Young man, can you give me a discount?"

Cheng Zhu rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "Are you at the market buying groceries?"

The old woman in her nightgown puffed out her cheeks, a hint of smugness in her expression, and said:

"My son is a second lieutenant in the Hunting Grounds Army! Do you know how many men a second lieutenant can command? Once he gets out, I'll have him give you a certificate of honor—enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life!"

"Oh."

If the Hunting Ruins Army wasn't mentioned, Cheng Zhuo wouldn't be angry.

"You want a discount, right?"

The old woman in her nightgown nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Cheng Zhuo smiled mysteriously, "Ten thousand a bottle."

"You, you, you—"

The old woman was trembling with anger. She pointed at Cheng Zhuo, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time. Her face turned from red to purple, and then from purple to white.

The bespectacled boy beside her glanced at the old woman with disgust and said:

"Brother Cheng, don't sell her. She even tried to get her two older sisters to marry the green-haired brothers."

These words were like a thunderbolt, startling the old woman so much that her face turned deathly pale instantly.

She turned to leave.

But Cheng Zhuo grabbed him and held him down.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Zhuo knew it couldn't be fake without even asking the two women to confirm.

He initially thought it was bullying the little fat boy, but upon hearing this, his murderous intent surged.

"Where to?"

Cheng Zhuo grabbed the old woman by the neck. "We haven't bought the cookies yet."

The old woman's lips twitched, and she turned away timidly, her smile more painful than a grimace.

"Buy, buy, buy!"

Cheng Zhuo glanced at the others and said in a deep voice:

"This old lady is quite courageous; she plans to come with me out of town to kill monsters and make up for her mistake during the day. Anyone want to join?"

The stone hall fell silent instantly, and no one dared to speak.

They all knew how mean and vicious the old woman was, and they wished she would suffer and die.

They even covered up their watches.

She was afraid that Cheng Zhuo would misunderstand and think she was secretly filming.

"Huh? Ugh, I'm not going! I didn't say I was going!"

The old woman screamed in terror, kicking her limbs wildly and scraping the ground, ignoring the pain as pebbles cut her heels.

"You murderer, put me down!!"

But Cheng Zhuo's large hand, gripping her neck, dragged her along like an iron hoop, making it impossible for her to even turn around.

"You madman! My son is a lieutenant in the Hunting Grounds Army. If you dare lay a finger on me, he'll tear you to pieces!"

"Ahhh, no, please, I don't want to go outside the city..."

Cheng Zhuo tossed her in front of the mecha, told the two women to wait for him inside the stone fortress on the city wall, and then leaped into the mecha.

"You XXX, how dare you touch my grandma! My dad will definitely kill you!"

The fat grandson also roared and charged over.

He adopted a posture as if he were ready to fight Cheng Zhuo to the death, and said fiercely:

"That girl who laughed at me for being fat last time, my dad sold her off! If you don't want to die, kneel down and beg for mercy!!"

"Your filial piety is commendable."

Gravity mech right hand binding +1.

……

When Cheng Zhuo arrived, he saw countless stone monsters roaming around outside the city.

It's definitely time to go out and kill some monsters.

Huangfu Bai had done him a great favor, and Cheng Zhuo felt it was necessary to help him fight for it.

The factual rankings cannot be seen in the revelation, and they are currently unable to connect to Lingxi's network, so they can only try their best to hunt them down.

"Canned Goods, keep up!"

Cheng Zhuo gave a soft shout, and the mech's jetpack was activated. With a "boom," it was launched dozens of meters away, and when it landed, it shook the ground, causing rubble to fly everywhere.

The jar followed closely behind, its round body drawing an arc in the air at a speed that was by no means slow.

"Wow, that's so cool!" the bespectacled boy exclaimed enviously.

Xia Chan nudged Xia Mo's arm, her eyes crinkling into a smile:

"Your husband is so naughty, I love him so much~"

……

Outside the stone city.

The inky night fog pressed heavily overhead.

The wasteland outside the city gate looked as if a bucket of ink mixed with gravel had been splashed on it. The densely packed stone-faced monsters were huddled together, and an eerie "rustling" sound carried on the night wind, making people's necks tighten.

Cheng Zhuo stood on the city wall, not in a hurry to attack.

He took out the parchment from before and slowly activated the source within his body.

A faint source energy seeped into the paper through his fingertips, and a cold aura surged back along with the source energy, instantly intertwining with his source card.

It's strange, a sense of detachment slowly emerges.

His Origin Card seems to...

Another one!

"Buzz—"

A system notification suddenly rang in his mind, breaking the silence around him:

"Congratulations, host, on becoming a dual-origin awakener. Reward: Harmony Blessing Gift Pack +1"

Cheng Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief!

and so--

The system annotation "After use, you can learn the essence of necromancy" does not simply mean gaining another essence skill...

Or did he gain an extra Origin Card?
