Starting from Hong Kong in 1988!

Chapter 34 Mountain City

"My innate supernatural power has been generated."

The sounds of Kyushu mingled with the hustle and bustle of the city and rushed into my ears.

Xu Guangkun looked up.

This is a long, somewhat muddy street lined with small stalls made of woven bamboo strips. It is late at night, but with the help of oil lamps, lanterns, and the moon hanging in the middle of the sky, it is still brightly lit.

The long street was teeming with people, some dressed in hemp clothing carrying shoulder poles, others in suits clutching briefcases. The goods sold along the street were a mix of Chinese and Western styles: sugar, cloth, mountain produce, British and American tobacco, and formal suits, a dazzling array that made one's eyes light up.

Xu Guangkun glanced at the panel: 1930.

He gazed into the distance; a thin mist hung in the air, obscuring the details, but with the help of the lights illuminating the surroundings, he could vaguely make out that it was a city built on a mountain.

Even without looking at the panel, he knew that this was—Mountain City!

People from all over the place seemed to appear out of nowhere, turning out of some street and merging into this street.

Xu Guangkun also picked up his foot and joined the crowd.

"Teacher, do you need anything moved?" The uncle carrying a shoulder pole enthusiastically promoted himself to those around him.

"Take a look, take a look, these are the newest glasses." The robust auntie held up a glass.

"Freshly baked buns, have a taste, or your money back!" A pretty young girl carried out a steamer, the steam and aroma spreading along the long street.

As all sorts of people brushed past Xu Guangkun, it truly broadened his horizons.

What surprised him most was that these people seemed to ignore his sudden appearance.

The last time Xu Guangkun traveled through time was in his sleep; he had never experienced it this way before.

Therefore, he could only attribute it to the power of Kyushu.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

Xu Guangkun muttered to himself as he looked around for a hotel.

He couldn't wait to find out what his innate supernatural power was.

However, he didn't notice.

Wherever he looked, the people stopped what they were doing and stared intently at him.

His expression was somber.

"A person, a person, a person who suddenly appeared..."

.....

"You need to stay at a hotel?"

This is a stilted building inn with wooden and bamboo foundations, wooden plank walls, and a small blue tile roof.

Upstairs, there was a sign with four large characters in gold on a black background.

Old Ghost Inn

"What a lousy name, so unlucky."

Xu Guangkun muttered something to himself, turning his gaze from the signboard to the gray-haired shop owner in front of him: "How much?"

As he spoke, he took out a silver dollar from his pocket.

He bought this on Taobao because he didn't know what kind of world he would be traveling to, so he prepared some silver coins, copper coins, silver, gold, and even US dollars.

The shop owner's gaze darted back and forth between the silver dollar and his face, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Are you trying to make an exorbitant demand?

Xu Guangkun was thinking about it.

"Forget it, the place is full. You can go somewhere else."

After saying that, she waved her hand and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Xu Guangkun frowned, but didn't say anything more, and continued looking for a shop.

One, two, three.

This happens every time, in every household.

"What's going on?"

Xu Guangkun noticed something was wrong; he could tell that these business owners all had rooms.

Why not let him stay?

Could it be?

He looked down at his attire.

Wearing a windbreaker and cargo pants, with short hair, this outfit would be fine in the modern world, but here, it's a bit unconventional and eye-catching.

Just like when you see someone dressed in strange clothes in the real world, most people's first thought is not to go over and take a look, but to keep their distance.

After figuring it out, Xu Guangkun didn't give up, but continued his search, since sleeping in a bed was better than sleeping on the street.

He searched carefully for an inn.

The number of shops along the street has decreased, and there are only a few pedestrians left. Without the lights and noise, the long street seems somewhat lifeless.

We should be almost at the end of the long street.

Xu Guangkun walked toward the hotel not far away.

suddenly.

A chill ran down my spine, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu Guangkun stopped in his tracks, then turned around abruptly after a second or two.

The long street was still the same long street, bustling in the distance, but deserted and empty nearby.

The feeling of being stared at was like an illusion.

Xu Guangkun looked at it for a while longer, but it was still the same.

"What the hell?"

He shook his head, attributing it to the illusions that often occur when walking at night.

just.

Unconsciously quickening my pace.

And in the instant he turned his head.

Countless heads emerged from the hidden places.

"Are we just going to let him go like that?"

Bangbang slammed the carrying pole made of two thigh bones into his hands, looking displeased.

"Then what can we do? This person suddenly appeared on the street. Only a mage could do that."

The plump auntie tossed the white cup made from her head up and down.

"But he didn't have any magical power, nor did he seem like a mage; he seemed like someone who genuinely wanted to find a place to stay."

The girl selling steamed buns held a fist-sized bun to her mouth.

Her mouth opened wider and wider until it tore her skin and flesh, tearing all the way to her ears and revealing her gums. She nonchalantly tossed the bun into her mouth and pressed her chin up.

"Click-clack."

Juice splashed everywhere.

After chewing for a while, a black finger bone, mixed with indistinct words, came out of her mouth: "I really want to eat fresh flesh and blood."

Someone said something.

"Why not explore his dreams?"

"Good idea, I'll go inform the hotel owner."

"I'll observe from outside."

"Then?" the girl pointed to her nose, "I go into a dream?"

"Good idea."

"That's what I think too."

"If he's really a sorcerer, then I'm doomed."

The girl muttered a word of dissatisfaction, but in the end, the taste of fresh flesh and blood overcame her reason. She turned into a shadow and disappeared beneath Xu Guangkun's feet.

.....

Xu Guangkun thought he would have to search for a while longer, but to his surprise, the shop owner accepted him very easily.

The other person carried an oil lamp and led him into a room on the fourth floor. Xu Guangkun casually looked around the room, lay back on the bed, and summoned the control panel.

Time: 1930.

位置:山城,七星岗,东经:106°33′47″北纬:29°33′19″

1930 years.

When the mountain city was first established, it was controlled by the warlord Liu Xiang's troops. The city was narrow and steep, with stilted buildings everywhere. With the Yangtze River as its lifeline, it was a major distribution center for goods and trade in Southwest China. The city was just starting to develop, and people's lives were difficult.

At the same time, all sorts of demons and monsters proliferate, hiding in corners unseen by ordinary people.

The task at hand is as follows:

Part 1: Making a name for yourself in the mountain city (Progress: 0%)

Second: Obtained 200 jin of gold. (Progress: 0%)

Third: Capture exotic beasts and steal their fat.

(The more tasks you complete, the greater the rewards)

(Time spent here: 00:00:55, Time remaining until return: 99 days...)

Xu Guangkun's gaze fell on Qixinggang. He felt like he had heard of this place before, but it was a long time ago and he couldn't remember exactly what happened.

He didn't dwell on it too much and continued reading.

"Demons and monsters?"

Xu Guangkun was taken aback.

At the same time, the pale arm holding a ruler, which was stretched out towards the soles of his feet, stopped in mid-air.
