Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"stop!"

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, exploding like thunder in the market, instantly interrupting the fierce attack of the group.

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably terrifying pressure descended like Mount Tai pressing down, looming over the heads of both fighters. The air seemed to freeze, making even breathing difficult.

Gu Ye's expression suddenly hardened, and with a slight twitch of his fingertips, he quietly took out the card [Lin Daiyu], secretly infusing it with spiritual power, remaining on guard at all times.

He could clearly sense that the owner of this oppressive aura was far stronger than that cowardly monster, and was most likely the village chief, Niu Dadan. If anything went wrong, he would immediately come to his aid.

Under the pressure, the surrounding villagers fell silent in fear and subconsciously made way for a wide passage.

Village Chief Niu Dadan, dressed in a black robe, walked out of the passage with a gloomy face and steady yet hurried steps. A faint eerie aura surrounded him, and with each step, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, exuding a chilling and intimidating power.

Looking at the messy stall in front of him, Niu Dadan's forehead veins bulged instantly, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his face darkened, and his gaze swept back and forth between Nongbao Gui and Yan Dinghan and the others like a knife, the atmosphere around him becoming increasingly oppressive.

But when his gaze inadvertently fell on Luo Yueyao, his eyes paused noticeably, the ferocity in his eyes subtly dissipated, his expression softened, and even the oppressive aura around him subsided slightly.

Anyone with eyes can see that the village chief is clearly treating people differently based on their status, showing a different attitude towards Luo Yuerao.

Niu Dadan suppressed his anger, his fierce gaze refocusing on the others besides Luo Yuerao. His voice was icy cold, carrying an undeniable authority:

"Tell me! Who struck first?"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Dinghan and the others pointed at the abscess.

Niu Dadan looked at the pustule-ridden ghost with a gloomy gaze, slowly stepped forward, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you remember what the village rules are written?"

The pustule-like monster trembled under the pressure of Niu Dadan's imposing aura. "Village...chief...I...know, but I'm...the bottom..."

Before he could finish speaking, Niu Dadan grabbed him by the neck, and a burst of flames instantly engulfed his entire body. Pussy didn't even have time to let out a miserable scream before he turned into a pile of ashes.

Niu Dadan's face, which had been gloomy, changed to one of concern when he turned to look at Luo Yuerao.

"Honorable guest, are you alright?"

Luo Yueyao gently shook her head, turned her gaze to the still frail old woman beside her, and said urgently:

"I'm fine, it's Grandma who's in trouble!"

Niu Dadan saw that although the old woman was covered in injuries, she was in very good condition, with bright and piercing eyes.

Even the way she looked at him carried a hint of mockery. Niu Dadan knew he would have to bleed a little to appease this old woman.

If Niu Dadan hadn't been worried about his plan going wrong, he would have slapped everyone present to death long ago.

Suppressing his impatience, Niu Dadan slowly clapped his hands. Immediately, a servant dressed in black with a respectful expression stepped out from behind him, carrying an antique wooden box in both hands. He quickly stepped forward and presented the box to Niu Dadan.

Niu Dadan opened the wooden box, inside which was a piece of something that was entirely red, with clear patterns, and looked like an old tree root, emitting a faint warm aura.

"This is the root of the Flame Demon Tree."

Niu Dadan said calmly, "It can not only quickly heal the old woman's injuries, but also increase her fire resistance, which can be considered as compensation for the grievances she suffered today."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers of the strange village instantly erupted in chaos, their eyes filled with a frenzied desire and greed as they stared intently at the Flame Demon Tree Root in the wooden box.

They are all monsters, naturally countered by attributes such as fire, lightning, and holy light. Fire is their mortal enemy, and the Flame Monster Tree Root, a treasure that can increase fire resistance, is undoubtedly a rare treasure for them.

Everyone coveted the Flaming Tree Roots, their throats bobbing, eager to get their hands on them, but due to Niu Dadan's imposing presence, no one dared to take a single step forward.

They could only watch helplessly, their eyes filled with resentment and regret.

Without further hesitation, Luo Yuerao stepped forward and took the Flame Demon Tree Root from the servant's hands.

Amidst the envious yet regretful gazes of the villagers, he immediately went to the old woman's side, carefully placed the tree root to her mouth, and fed it to her.

The Flame Demon Tree root melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and a warm energy surged into the old woman's body, spreading throughout her entire body along her meridians.

The old woman's wounds healed at a visible speed, her originally pale complexion gradually became rosy, and even her eyes became clearer.

Before long, she stood up again, leaning steadily on her cane, and looked at Gu Ye and the others, her tone full of gratitude:

"Thank you, children. I'm an old man, and you've gone to so much trouble for me."

"Grandma, you've helped us. It's just a small thing, nothing at all."

It's important to know that finding a safe place to stay in this eerie village is by no means easy.

There are still many card masters and candidates who have not been able to find a place to stay and can only squeeze into dilapidated temples, living a life of hardship.

As for the inns in the village, no one dared to stay there.

Seeing the scene before him, Niu Dadan's face darkened further, and he sternly rebuked the surrounding villagers and truck drivers:

"Since everything's alright, everyone can leave! Today is my daughter's big day. Anyone who dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

His gaze swept across the room like a sharp sword, his eyes fierce and carrying an undeniable threat.

The villagers all knew that Niu Dadan always kept his word, and if they really angered him, they would definitely not have a good ending. So they all lowered their heads, dared not linger any longer, and quietly dispersed, returning to their own stalls.

The market gradually returned to its former bustling state, but the atmosphere remained somewhat oppressive.

Niu Dadan snorted coldly, turned around and left quickly with his servants. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Gu Ye and the others a deep look, with a hint of vigilance hidden in his eyes.

Luo Yuerao, Yan Dinghan, Chang Qi, and Chang Guan immediately went to the old woman's stall and helped her set up the overturned stall and tidy up the scattered items. Their movements were quick and efficient.

Gu Ye stepped forward, took all the tofu out of the memory card, and placed it on the stall.

"Grandma, the soybeans you brought have all been ground into tofu."

The old woman, leaning on her cane, slowly walked to the stall and stretched out her aged hand.

Gently stroking the white and delicate tofu, the warm touch from her fingertips spread from her palm to the depths of her heart, stirring up memories deep within her soul.

Tears welled up in the old woman's eyes, her voice choked with emotion, and she murmured:

"That's exactly the feeling, so similar to what the old man did back then. Thank you so much, kids."

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Gu Ye waved his hand with a smile. Luo Yuerao and the others had tempered their bodies through the stone mill, and Gu Ye had obtained the stone mill, a rare and precious material.

The old lady got the tofu she wanted; it was a win-win situation for both parties.
