The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 150 Selecting Patrol Areas

It's important to know that Zhou Yi consumes one point of luck value every time he summons a player.

Even if Zhou Yi permanently kicks that player out afterward, the loss of that bit of luck points can never be recovered.

Good steel should be used where it's needed most, and his luck should not be wasted in the slightest.

During the time he was thinking, the forum also started discussing things related to cultivation novels.

Many newcomers initially didn't believe it at all, but after everyone showed them one picture after another, their opinions gradually became skeptical.

This is where people like Qunxing come into play.

As excellent comedians, Qunxing often manages to bring a knowing smile to many players at crucial moments, bridging the gap between them.

But for some reason, the stars who usually love to tease everyone didn't say anything at this time, not even popping up in the chat.

In a small courtyard in Lianyungang Market.

Sunlight streamed through the clouds and onto the bluestone floor tiles in the courtyard.

The group of people sat on stone benches in the courtyard, with a pot of hot tea quietly placed on the stone table beside them.

Li Fan looked toward the door, his eyes fixed on it, as if he were waiting for someone.

A moment later, footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Li Fan, please open the door, it's me." Lin Yuan's voice came from outside the door.

As they listened carefully, they noticed a hint of weariness in his once powerful voice.

Li Fan walked quickly over and opened the courtyard gate.

The person who arrived was Lin Yuan; this was the second time the two had met since they parted ways that day.

When they last met, Lin Yuan's once black hair had turned a bit whiter, but just looking at his face, he still exuded a rugged charm.

But when they met again three days later, just one glance was enough to startle Li Fan.

In just three days, Lin Yuan's white hair increased significantly, and his face showed signs of vicissitude, presumably due to his hard work day and night.

Turning your hair white overnight is nothing more than this —

Li Fan felt a little sad, but he didn't show it on his face.

They're all men, very strong-willed.

In this situation, how could anyone want to see themselves in such a disheveled state?

Li Fan smiled and said to Lin Yuan, "Brother Lin, have you taken care of things these past few days? Could you help us prepare for the market inspection?"

Lin Yuan forced a smile.

He was exhausted these past few days, but he did manage to get everything he needed to do done.

The subsequent task was much easier, which was to help the patrols arrange their respective patrol tasks.

After all, many patrols were killed or wounded in this battle, so the original patrol mode could no longer be used. In addition, the family also had requirements.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Lin Yuan had no choice but to rearrange the patrol tasks.

He handed the map of the market to Li Fan and the other two, and solemnly said to them, "This is the map of Lianyun Market. It shows the locations of various streets and alleys, as well as some wealthy shops and important places."

"From now on, your patrols will be conducted using the locations circled in red on this map. Also, the market map is a secret for patrols and must not be revealed to anyone."

At this point, Lin Yuan's tone became serious, and his expression turned somewhat solemn: "If you violate this rule, you will be fired at best, and at worst you will face huge compensation losses, or even more terrifying punishments."

Li Fan and the others also abandoned their usual relaxed demeanor and carefully and slowly took the map.

Qunxing glanced at the map and was surprised to find that there were three red areas on it.

Lin Yuan noticed the differences among the stars and couldn't help but smile.

"You may not have made any great contributions during this patrol, but you certainly put in a lot of hard work. Therefore, you can choose your own patrol area this time," Lin Yuan said.

Then he pointed to the three red areas on the map.

It was clear that Lin Yuan meant for the three of them to make their own choices.

Of course, he also knew that Li Fan and the others were not very familiar with the specific situation of Lianyunfang City at present.

Therefore, the natural location explains the characteristics of these three red areas.

The first red area is located in a remote area in the northeast of the market, with fewer shops and the least foot traffic.

However, if they choose this location, the advantage is that the area they can patrol is relatively large, and as the only patrol in the area, they are not subject to the constraints of others.

The stars nodded in agreement. This area was indeed good and suitable for them to conduct their business, but there was still one thing that wasn't quite right.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't figure it out yet, so he could only let Lin Yuan continue explaining.

The second red area is the second floor of the market, where the group can obtain the most central patrol area.

This area not only has a large number of shops, but also the highest foot traffic.

However, the patrol area chosen here will be much smaller, even less than half of the first one, and there will be more patrols around it, leading to greater conflicts between patrols.

Li Fan nodded, and in just a moment, he ruled out that area.

Their primary objective was to gather information; they had no interest in arguing with the patrols or fighting over a few spirit stones.

The last red area is something quite interesting.

This area is the third entertainment street in Lianyunfang City, known as Liuyan Street. It does not sell magical artifacts or spirit stones, but rather operates entertainment such as brothels and wine shops. If this area is chosen, the group will only be patrolling one street, making the patrol area smaller than the second one.

But the advantage is that it's the entertainment industry; by cracking down on things, you can make a lot of profit, and at the same time, you can often slack off and have some fun while on patrol.

Who doesn't enjoy slacking off at work?

The stars looked at the area with shining eyes, and Li Fan and the Immortal of Instant Opening did not hesitate much either.

After a quick discussion, the three of them decided on the red area.

Seeing that the three had chosen this area, Ning Yuan smiled and nodded. After much consideration, he also felt that this area was the most suitable for them.

On the one hand, as newcomers, they wouldn't be exiled to remote areas to be tortured; on the other hand, they wouldn't clash with the older generation of patrolmen.

It is truly a land chosen by heaven.

Li Fan accepted the map, but instead of urging Lin Yuan to leave, he invited him to stay and have some hot tea.

However, drinking tea was just an excuse; their real purpose was to find out the specific situation of this area.

Lin Yuan naturally knew what they were thinking.

However, he still has plenty of time and doesn't need to offend the three of them.

So the four of them sat around the stone table and started chatting casually.

"Brother Lin Yuan, I wonder if there are any things to be careful about in this newly selected Liuyan Street?" Li Fan asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yuan recalled his understanding of Liuyan Street.
