Excessive ferocity due to caution

Returning with a generous reward, Zhao Yi went back to the guild's headquarters, room 404, and sent a message to Chen Fei, asking him to recruit a group of mining ghosts and have them fly together to the Evil Mountain Hotel to discuss with Chris how to mine iron ore.

Chris spent a long time on the other side of Evil Mountain and is quite familiar with the surrounding situation. With him willing to help, the mining process should be much easier and faster.

Zhao Yi, meanwhile, stayed in his apartment, holding a treasure chest of destiny in his hands, carefully stroking it.

What can I get from that purple treasure chest of destiny?

"O ancient and mysterious essence of Akotos, I offer the hair of everyone in the Jie Sect except myself to praise your supreme virtues, to invoke your vow with the clouds and rain, and to begin this golden legend!"

"Appear!"

Zhao Yi made up a story and rambled on before opening the Treasure Chest of Destiny.

A new box appeared in his hand.

Treasure Chest of Destiny (Blue).

Good guy.

Zhao kept exclaiming, "Wow!"

Is it okay to downgrade them directly?

Could it be that my explanation was incorrect?

Is he not sincere?

Thinking of this, he spent another 0.5 seconds coming up with a set of witty remarks.

"O spirits and deities hidden among the mountains and rivers, please accept the prayers of your devout followers..."

"open!"

Ding ding ding ding!

The Blue Destiny Chest has been opened.

A green treasure chest of destiny appeared in Zhao Yi's hand.

Relegated again!

Looking at the green Destiny Chest in his hand, Zhao Yi fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he slowly took out the body shredder.

It was placed next to the treasure chest.

"This is your last chance."

Zhao Yi threatened the Treasure Chest of Fate.

"Don't force me to take action."

turn on.

A flash of purple light!

A moment later, a blanket appeared in Zhao Yi's hand.

...

[Item: Elaborate Carpet]

[Quality: Purple]

[Introduction: ...The White Witch's daughter is a completely healthy but paralyzed person who loves to travel but hates getting out of bed. To fulfill both her daughter's dreams, the White Witch modified her flying horse, modeled after an Arabian carpet, into a drab carpet. This carpet can carry a person and has a thick control stick on top to steer it in the opposite direction. However, a drawback is that during flight, the carpet occasionally expels small amounts of waste downwards.]

[Effect: Manned flight, speed 100m/s.]

[A passerby's comment: Oh! Shit!]

...

Zhao Yi thought the Elaborate Carpet was alright.

At least now we have flying items.

Although he's nowhere near as fast as Peppa Pig, he can still solve some problems.

For example, suddenly falling from a great height.

Next, Zhao Yi examined the newly acquired damaged energy suppressor.

It is a tiny crystal ball.

The surface has cracks.

The suppressor has no special purpose; like Oink's pig bristles, it is a high-grade synthetic material.

gold.

After learning about the suppressor, Zhao Yi opened the game system to check the points required for the intermediate-level Greater Rift.

...

[Intermediate Greater Rift: Players must be level 15 or higher and level 25 or lower to participate]

[Registration Points: 12]

[Application Requirements: Applicants must have achieved at least one S-rank and one SS-rank rating.]

[Difficulty: Normal - No solution; players should proceed at their own risk.]

[Secret Realm Dungeon: Random]

[During combat in Greater Rift dungeons, players do not gain kill points.]

...

Zhao Yi now has both points and an SS rating.

Next, it's time to register.

After spending 12 points, Zhao Yi still had 17 left.

I bought 34 fragments of the poem.

He has now successfully collected 70 pages of his quotations.

We're one step closer to 492!

"Before I knew it, I'd already collected 1/7."

"The points earned from later dungeons will only increase, it looks like we'll be able to finish the Analects soon..."

The progress in collecting cultivation techniques is faster than Zhao Yi had anticipated.

The benefits a red cultivation technique could bring him far surpassed those of a few high-level ghost remains or some acquired bloodlines.

After finishing these tasks, Zhao Yi went out for a stroll for a while.

Since the last incident, many players have left the "Hunter Guild".

Now, the guild, which already had few members, felt even more empty.

However, Zhao Yi didn't care about this at all.

Whether these people leave or not has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Upon arriving in Guxuan Town, Zhao Yi found the old craftsman Ma Luo and asked them to help rebuild the town.

Of course, the money came from those wealthy businessmen.

Zhao Yi was willing to allocate a portion of the rebuilt area to them for making money.

Initially, not all wealthy merchants were willing to contribute money.

They knew very well that even if they didn't contribute any money, the destroyed Valley Hanging Town area would eventually have to be rebuilt.

These wealthy merchants are all cunning; they don't care about waiting a few more years.

Once it's built, they can come and take it over, spending some money to have someone act out a good guy/bad guy scenario, thus saving a lot of money!

Alternatively, they might resort to forceful buying and selling.

Anyway, this isn't the first time they've done something like this.

Wealth can move mountains.

Those weak ghosts, how could they possibly turn the world upside down?

Moreover, in such a dog-eat-dog world, as long as they don't go too far, the laws of Guxuan Town... simply can't restrain them!

pity.

This time... these wealthy merchants from Guxuan Town miscalculated.

Because power has been concentrated in the hands of some madman!

He summoned all the wealthy merchants of Guxuan Town together.

They were asked to contribute money to rebuild Valley Suspension Town, with a promise that they would receive certain benefits afterward.

This can be considered a forced sale.

The wealthy merchant, of course, disagreed!

In the past, they were the ones who exploited others. When will it be their turn to exploit others?

Who can swallow this insult?

So they slammed their fists on the table and stood up!

They were furious!

So they died.

Of the wealthy merchants present, Zhao Yi killed half of them, along with their families.

The reason is that revenge only leads to more revenge.

The remaining wealthy merchants trembled with fear.

Clinging to Zhao Yi's leg, she cried and begged for money to rebuild Guxuan Town.

A few hours later.

Outside the warehouse ghost's manor, gazing at the bewildered figures of the wealthy merchants leaving in the distance, it couldn't help but sigh:

"I thought their arrogance could last a little longer."

Zhao Yi replied:

"Don't you find it ridiculous that a wolf acts arrogantly in front of a flock of lambs, acting as if he's the only one who matters in the world?"

"What difference is there between a lamb and a tiger before it?"

"It's just arrogance and a lack of self-awareness."

"It's just a change of skin; it's all bark and no bite."

After lighting a cigarette, Zhao Yi said again:

"Could you help with the mining in Xieshan? There might be something in that mountain forest that Chen Fei can't handle."

"As for the Xieshan Hotel... there might be trouble coming your way later, so you should prepare in advance."

The warehouse ghost nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, Master."

"It will definitely be arranged properly."

"With Fangfang's help, even ordinary near-major killers... can be killed!"

Zhao nodded.

"I'll be leaving soon, so I'll leave the affairs of Guxuan Town to you."

The warehouse ghost laughed:

"It is Wu Liang's duty to share the burden of the leader."

Having said goodbye to the warehouse ghost, Zhao Yi registered for the intermediate-level Greater Rift in the system.

Two days later.

Zhao Yi's body turned into white light and disappeared from the guild's headquarters.
