From Resident Evil to becoming a gacha god

Chapter 103 I'm only here in Goose City to do three things

Although he was inwardly complaining about how slow Master Lin was to log on, Xiao Miao still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Uncle Nine's familiar face. "Roar!"

Old Master Ren, whose body was on fire, struggled frantically, with corpse energy continuously leaking from his body to fight against the flames.

Old Master Ren was afraid of fire in his lifetime; flames were his nemesis. However, the corpse energy that had been trapped underground for 30 years was not to be underestimated. With its full force unleashed, the flames even showed signs of going out.

"Master Xiao, I'm here to help you!"

Master Lin summoned a peach wood sword, and the Bagua mirror reflected the moonlight onto the blade, illuminating it from head to tail. The peach wood sword emitted a golden glow.

"go!"

Master Lin made a hand seal, then aimed his fingers at Old Master Ren. The peach wood sword flew into the air and accelerated instantly, like a javelin, piercing Old Master Ren's chest and pinning him to the ground.

The peach wood sword, imbued with Taoist magic, not only pinned Old Master Ren's body down but also suppressed the corpse's aura. The oil seeped into his body and burned fiercely, sending thick black smoke into the night sky.

Anyone with eyes could see that Old Master Ren's days were numbered and he was powerless to continue struggling.

Poison Island Yako walked out of the Ren family mansion and threw the two remaining bottles of kerosene at Old Master Ren, making the flames even stronger and the heat waves roll.

Ren Tingting had been watching from the doorway. Now that the battle was over, she rushed into the mansion crying and ran into the master bedroom where the master lived.

A few seconds later, a mournful cry came from the master bedroom. Master Ren was dead, and his death was extremely tragic. He had been stabbed in the throat and had all his blood sucked out by his own father.

Xiao Miao and Master Lin rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and upon seeing Master Ren's body, they both fell silent.

Xiao Miao wondered if he could change Master Ren's fate if he were more magnanimous during the day, ignored Master Ren's suspicions, and continued to stay in the Ren residence.

It's highly likely, but that's simply impossible. Xiao Miao has never been a magnanimous person, nor does he have the habit of offering kindness to someone who doesn't reciprocate.

"Miss Ren, it's all my fault for being incompetent and failing to properly guard Old Master Ren's body..." Master Lin walked to Ren Tingting's side, apologizing softly with a look of remorse.

Ren Tingting remained silent, only weeping uncontrollably, heartbroken. People are complex. Master Ren was not a good boss, nor was he a good master in the eyes of the servants, but to Ren Tingting, he was definitely a good father.

"It's all about timing and fate; life is unpredictable." Xiao Miao shook his head and sighed. Master Ren's death was also largely due to his own actions. When the coffin was first opened, Master Lin suggested cremating the body on the spot, but Master Ren refused no matter what and insisted on burying the body. Now he was paying the price for his stubbornness.

"Master Xiao, is the wound on your chest alright?" Master Lin turned to look at Xiao Miao: "The corpse energy is extremely poisonous. If it is not treated properly, it could allow evil spirits to enter your body, and you could very well turn into a zombie."

Xiao Miao waved her hand: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

In fact, if Master Lin had spoken a little later, his injuries would have been almost completely healed.

Master Lin nodded and said no more. Xiao Miao was clearly a person with real skills, and excessive reminders would only make the other party unhappy.

Moreover, he also needed to deal with Master Ren's body, which was another thorny issue.

Master Ren was a prominent figure in the town, so his death was a major event and could not be simply cremated on the spot—although Master Lin would very much like to do so.

"Master Ren was bitten to death by a zombie, and the zombie's aura entered his body. There's a high probability that this will cause him to turn into a zombie. It would be better to cremate him as soon as possible," Xiao Miao said.

"Well said!" Master Lin nodded secretly. He didn't know what "the best mouth double" meant, but Xiao Miao's suggestion undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.

Ren Tingting disagreed. At this moment, family affection triumphed over reason. She believed that even if cremation was to be carried out, the funeral process should be completed first so that Mr. Ren could leave in a dignified manner.

People in this era were not used to cremation, especially the wealthy. Burial was inevitable. The idea of ​​"returning to one's roots" was ingrained in their bones; otherwise, the profession of corpse transporter would not exist.

Helpless, Master Lin could only try to remove the corpse energy from Master Ren's body as much as possible. In the end, he had to take the blame for Master Ren's death. Knowing that Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were unreliable, he still entrusted the task of sealing Master Ren's coffin to the two of them, which caused Master Ren, who had turned into a corpse, to escape and run into the Ren Mansion.

"Miss Ren, please accept my condolences. I..."

"7

Master Lin racked his brains to comfort Ren Tingting. At the same time, the countdown of the character card used by Xiao Miao ended, and the system notification sounded in his ear.

Your body has been tempered by fate; physical strength +1.

Your body has been tempered by fate; physical strength +1.

[You have gained a wisp of experience through fate, skill: Swordsmanship Iv6 → lv8]

[You gained an insight into destiny, acquiring the talent: Self-Healing (Green) (Your physical vitality is vigorous; wounds will heal slowly, but a side effect is an increased appetite)]

His physical strength increased by two points, and his power suddenly increased. Xiao Miao clenched his fist and felt that he was incredibly strong and could smash Old Master Ren to pieces with one punch.

This is of course an illusion caused by a short-term increase in strength. Old Master Ren's physical strength can withstand bullets, while Xiao Miao is far from that level.

The improvement in swordsmanship skills was within Xiao Miao's expectations, but the new talent, self-healing, was an unexpected surprise. Although it was only at the green level, in the heat of battle, even the slightest advantage could affect the final outcome. People with strong vitality have more room for error than others.

The side effect of the talent is that it increases appetite, which Xiao Miao thinks is only natural. Extraordinary talent unexpectedly follows the law of conservation of energy, otherwise where would the vitality come from?

And having a big appetite isn't necessarily a bad thing. Xiao Miao likes to eat delicious food in his spare time, such as hot pot, barbecue, grilled meat, fried chicken, milk tea, jade feet, white tiger (a euphemism for prostitutes), steamed bun pens, and small cherries...

Who doesn't like to eat these?

The police whistle blew, and Awei, the security captain of Renjia Town, rushed over.

Because the incident occurred at the Ren residence, he was more proactive than anyone else. Upon hearing the news in the middle of the night, he immediately got out of bed, grabbed his tools, and rushed over with a few henchmen.

If I can perform well in front of Master Ren today, maybe he will be pleased and betroth Tingting to me!

Then Awei saw Master Ren lying unconscious on the ground, with two purplish-black bloody holes on his neck.

Awei:

'

""

Oh no, no matter how well I behave now, Master Ren won't be able to see it.

The next morning, the town's elders gathered at the Ren residence to discuss the matter of Master Ren's violent death.

In his eagerness to solve the case, Ah Wei made wild accusations. Seeing that Master Ren's wound was caused by fingernails and noticing that Master Lin had long fingernails, he accused Master Lin of killing Master Ren.

As for Old Master Ren's body, it had long been burned to a crisp, and no one could recognize what it was.

Several henchmen immediately stepped forward, grabbed Master Lin, and tried to drag him back to jail for interrogation. At this time, there was no such thing as civilized law enforcement. Torture to extract confessions was the norm. Many times, they would not even conduct an interrogation; if they thought you were guilty, they would just sentence you.

Xiao Miao stepped forward in time to prove Master Lin's innocence, and with Ren Tingting's description as the person involved, Awei had no choice but to let go of Master Lin and leave the Ren residence in disgrace.

Xiao Miao sensed that Master Lin's favorability towards her had increased to level three, while Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's favorability was currently at level negative one.

However, neither of them are particularly powerful characters, so their favorability ratings are not important.

Master Lin invited Xiao Miao to visit the mortuary, and Xiao Miao gladly accepted. He also wanted to raise the other party's favorability to level four as soon as possible so that he could draw the character card.

Last night, Grandpa Ren's favorability rating remained locked at -2 until he was burned to death, which Xiao Miao found regrettable.

He really wanted the character card for Grandpa Ren, but drawing the card at level two of his favorability was too costly, expensive, and with a low probability, making it completely not worthwhile.

Xiao Miao doesn't have the habit of visiting other people's homes empty-handed. Before going, he bought some daily necessities for the ritual in town, as well as ten catties of pork, some chicken, duck and fish, three catties of fragrant char siu, two jars of locally brewed glutinous rice wine, and several catties of tea at the market.

Uncle Nine's favorite food is char siu. Xiao Miao is from the North. When he was a child, he watched the movie and saw Uncle Nine eating with his mouth full of oil. In the middle of the night, his appetite was aroused and he was so hungry.

Later, after I went to university, I finally got to eat char siu in the school cafeteria, and it was really delicious.

The mortuary was very close to Renjia Town, about one kilometer away as the crow flies. Xiao Miao and Dudao Yazi arrived at the mortuary with a bunch of things and were warmly welcomed by the three masters and disciples.

"Come on in, why bring a gift? Hahaha."

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's favorability towards Xiao Miao immediately rose to level three, and they hurriedly took the char siu and various meats and ran into the kitchen to prepare them.

Although Master Lin was embarrassed to accept Xiao Miao's gifts, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were too quick; before he could even say anything, the gifts had already been sent into the kitchen.

Master Lin shook his head helplessly, swallowing back the words he was about to say. Wencai and Qiusheng were his disciples in name only, but in reality, they were his sons. They had suffered a lot with him, so he would let them have a better meal this time.

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests. After the meal, while chatting over tea, Master Lin casually inquired about Xiao Miao's lineage.

The broken copper coin sword on the ground last night was undeniable; it even bore traces of Maoshan sword techniques. Coupled with the ghost-exorcising and soul-controlling techniques he had never seen before, Master Lin was extremely curious about Xiao Miao's origins.

"I am a wandering Taoist priest with no master," Xiao Miao answered truthfully. "I'm staying in Goose City for a while now, and I only have three things to do."

Master Lin asked curiously, "Which three items?"

"Exorcise demons and monsters! Exorcise demons and monsters! Exorcise demons and monsters again!" Xiao Miao declared righteously, "Evil spirits are wreaking havoc on the people, causing them to suffer. We cultivators should take it upon ourselves to exorcise demons and monsters!"

"Well said!" Master Lin slapped the table and gave Xiao Miao a thumbs up: "Young brother, your awareness is too high."

"7

Xiao Miao suddenly sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that my skills are weak, and I have nowhere to learn Taoist magic and supernatural powers. I am powerless against many powerful demons..."

'

As he spoke, he glanced at Master Lin and said, "If only you could teach me even a move or two."

Lin Fengjiao:

'

""

You're waiting for me here, aren't you?

But since he had just eaten and received a generous gift, Master Lin couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Just as he was pondering what he could teach, a strange noise suddenly came from the attic on the second floor, and Master Lin's expression changed drastically.
