Chapter 3639: A soldier’s strange encounter (1)
Among the cultivators in loucheng city, there were many figures from the vast greater world.
They had accidentally obtained the token to receive them from the mall and were led to the mall in a daze.
The strength of these otherworldly tourists varied, and there were even ordinary people among them.
In the beginning, he was naturally filled with vigilance and fear.
After absorbing the introduction in the spiritual will and knowing what this place was, he immediately became extremely excited.
To them, this was an opportunity that they could not ask for more. It was like a pie falling from the sky.
Furthermore, this pie was as big as the sky and could stuff a person to death.
Filled with excitement, the various people from the great thousand world began to explore carefully.
……
In the corner of the street, a thin figure was sizing him up.
The information in his mind told him where he was, and his heart was filled with shock and antic.i.p.ation.
This was an unfamiliar world, magical and spectacular. The ant-like tourists were all stronger than the immortal Masters he had seen.
Just before today, he was only a soldier at the border, and could die at any time in the war.
In the face of the demon invasion, the number of casualties on the border was shocking. Every day, countless new recruits from the interior would rush to the defense line.
They were using their bodies to build the walls to defend against the demons, so the casualty rate was naturally terrifying.
The ratio of casualties to the demons was sometimes even one in ten.
In this border area, being able to live for a year was already considered extremely lucky.
The main reason why the soldiers were able to survive was probably related to the mission they were given, which was to collect all kinds of junk on the battlefield.
There was no need to collect the corpses of the dead. Most of them became food for the demons.
This mission seemed simple, but in fact, it was very dangerous. If one was not careful, they would die for various reasons.
This morning, when he was picking up the old weapons, he found a strange sign. It felt very strange.
By right, this kind of metal-like thing should be thrown into the furnace after being selected to be used to make new weapons.
The consumption of war was terrifying, and it was impossible to completely rely on the rear for support. The front line also had to do their best to think of solutions.
Picking up the remains of broken weapons was a routine after every great battle.
The soldier left the tag behind and stuffed it into the wooden Greave, thinking that it was a valuable item.
Never in his dreams would he have thought that his soul would be sent to the mall at night.
The soldiers were overjoyed to know where they were, but they still didn’t dare to act rashly.
The cruelty of war made him cautious. In order to ensure that his life was not in danger, he decided to observe carefully again.
He stood by the road, hiding behind a strange tree, and looked around silently.
People came and went on the streets, but no one paid attention to this thin figure.
After looking at it for a while, the soldier began to ponder.
Unlike the powerful cultivators, the soldiers had little knowledge and had no idea what the use of the dazzling array of goods was.
He only wanted to live, the longer the better, until the end of this war.
In this huge shopping center, there must be something he wanted that could guarantee his life.
However, if he wanted to obtain it, he had to pay a price.
He was just a small soldier. Not only was he penniless, but his life was also in danger.
Maybe one day, they would leave the city and never return, eventually becoming the food of those demons.
“What do we do?”
The soldier was secretly anxious, trying to find a way to save his life.
A light bulb went off in his head, and he thought of his job, which was to collect all kinds of supplies on the battlefield.
There were broken weapons and equipment, the remains of demons, and all sorts of other things.
This was the only valuable item that he could come into contact with. He just didn’t know if he could use it to trade.
However, in the blink of an eye, the soldier came up with this idea.
No matter if it worked or not, he had to give it a try.
The soldier made up his mind, lifted the straw mat on his body, and sneaked close to the place where the items were piled.
It was a huge pile, like garbage, and it gave off a foul smell.
When the broken items were collected, they had to be stacked together first, and then picked a second time.
There were also soldiers sleeping next to them. This was a very normal thing because they did not have their own barracks and basically rested in the open.
The soldier approached the pile of garbage and covered his body with a straw mat. He then continued to pick and choose.
Thanks to the projection function of the welcome token, in a short time, piles of junk appeared around the soldier.
As long as he was willing, he could materialize and carry out the transaction at any time.
According to the rules of the mall, every customer who held a welcome token had three chances to set up a stall for free.
After the third time, he would have to pay a certain fee.
The soldier took advantage of this benefit and applied for a shop. Then, he conjured all the things around him.
However, he used too much force and revealed the entire garbage dump.
The mountain-like pile of junk had a strong visual impact and immediately attracted many gazes.
“What are these things?”
The cultivators who pa.s.sed by the shop were attracted by the large pile of items and entered the shop one after another.
When they saw the pile of junk, they all shook their heads and turned to leave.
To these cultivators, the junk sold by the soldiers had no value. Naturally, they would not stay and waste their time.
Seeing the customers come and go, the soldier was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew the origin of the goods, so it was natural that they were not taken seriously.
Even though he knew, he was getting more and more anxious. After all, this matter concerned his life.
Time pa.s.sed by slowly. Customers came and went, but no deal was made.
The soldier was already in despair. There was a huge opportunity in front of him, but he could not get any benefits.
Who would be able to understand such a complicated and dejected feeling?
After waiting for a while, there was still no change. The soldiers were on the verge of despair.
At this moment, another group of cultivators walked in and looked at the garbage pile.
Unlike the other cultivators, their eyes were more serious, and they didn’t sweep through the area like the previous cultivators.
“How do you plan to sell these skeletons?”
Suddenly, a cultivator asked the soldier.
“What?”
The soldier was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and said in an excited tone, ” “You can decide how much you want to give.”
Hearing the soldier’s answer, the cultivators looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
“This merchant of yours is quite interesting. I’m afraid you don’t even know the price of the goods, so you’re saying this?”
The soldier laughed and scratched his head.
“The skeletons of your monsters have some uses, but the price is not too high.
I’ll need to pick and choose before we discuss the price.”
A cultivator said in a soft voice. At the same time, he pointed at the pile of garbage and pulled out strange-shaped bones.
The soldiers could clearly see that these skeletons belonged to high-level monsters.
It didn’t take long for a pile of items to be taken out, and the cultivator asked for the price again.
“Give it as you see fit. If there’s something that can save your life, that would be the best.”
The soldier said in a low voice, but he made up his mind that he would have a good tour later to figure out the value of the various goods.
“Is that so, Yingluo?”
The cultivator muttered to himself for a moment before saying with a smile, ” “I can see that your cultivation level isn’t high, so you won’t be able to use high-level magic tools. I just happen to have some things that I’ve kept hidden, so I’ll pack them all up and give them to you.
At the same time, I’ll give you a cultivation technique that can absorb demonic Qi to strengthen your soul and body, so that your body won’t be too weak.”
The cultivator then smiled at the soldier, who was pleasantly surprised.”Train hard and increase your strength. Try to live longer.
If possible, I hope that one day in the future, I can buy the remains of a Demon King from you.”
