Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 267 Chapter 266: Tai Sui Meat, Night Watchman
"All my elixirs are here. How much do you think it would cost to take them away?"

Lin Beixuan's calm voice rang out in the store.

Zhuge Qing raised his head and scanned the spiritual herbs on the table one by one, finally stopping at a spiritual herb with three leaves on a stem, each with light silver star spots on it.

'Silver Star Grass! ! '

Zhuge Qing secretly took a deep breath, and his eyes quickly became hot.

He didn't expect that the other party would take out such a rare elixir.

In the secular world, Silver Star Grass is a magical medicine specifically used to treat internal injuries. It is extremely rare and grows mostly in swampy and humid areas where poisonous snakes gather. It is very difficult to pick, so it is considered a scarce commodity in all major medicine schools in the secular world. But now there are more than a dozen plants in front of him.

If these silver star grasses were sold at Shennong Hall, they would probably fetch a lot of money.

Apart from the Silver Star Grass, he did not recognize the other spiritual herbs, but his intuition told him that the value of these spiritual herbs would probably not be lower than that of the Silver Star Grass.

"..."

"These spiritual medicines of yours are all valuable. What I brought is probably less than half of their value!" Zhuge Qing said bitterly.

Compared with his junk and the elixir Lin Beixuan brought out, he felt a little ashamed of himself.

Before coming here, I thought the other party would only have some common stuff in their hands, but in the end, I ended up looking like a clown.

'How come I didn't see him so rich for the first time!'

Zhuge Qing pursed his lips slightly, then looked at Lin Beixuan.

"I have something else in my hand. Please evaluate its value. If the total value is not enough to take away your spiritual medicine, I will owe you a favor. In the future, I will do you a favor for free."

"If the value exceeds that, I won't charge you for the excess share. How about we just be friends?"

"Da, da, da..."

Lin Beixuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, restrained his smile, and looked at Zhuge Qing with half-squinted eyes.

Although there were mostly junk in the other party's pile of things, they were not completely useless. There was also a blue-quality Amitabha Sutra in it, which contained the Rebirth Mantra, and was an excellent thing to deal with evil spirits.

However, Zhuge Qing obviously did not know the true value of this thing, so he put it together with those weapons and props.

Since the other party didn't know, he was naturally happy to get a good deal for free.

Now the other party was going to take out another item for him to identify, and he had said that, so he was naturally willing to accept the favor.
After a moment's silence, Lin Beixuan said calmly: "Okay!"

"Thank you!"

A hint of joy clearly flashed across Zhuge Qing's face. He no longer hesitated and took out a black object from his bag.

The object looked like a piece of dried bacon, or like a stone just taken out of a frying pan. Its surface was greasy and interwoven with golden lines.

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly, and the panel in his mind immediately gave out information.

[Taisui meat (purple): a kind of cured food that is the favorite of the twelve zodiac gods of the secular world. It tastes better than delicacies. Eating it consolidates the foundation of the gods. Offering it to any secular god's temple, you can make a reasonable request to the secular god, and the divinity will be increased by 2000, and the disaster will be increased by 2000. ]

"This thing..."

After reading the information on the panel, Lin Beixuan frowned even deeper, this was completely due to shock.

However, Zhuge Qing had no idea of what was going on in Lin Beixuan's mind. He thought that the value of the things he had in his hands could not make up for the value of those elixirs, so he could not help but speak in a deep voice.

"This thing was obtained by me and a few brothers in a strange place. There was a monster in it that was as powerful as a secular god. It caused us to die several times, and our secularization became even more serious..."

Lin Beixuan shook his head and interrupted Zhuge Qing, saying, "I'll take this thing. Let's be friends. If you have any unused items in the future, you can bring them to me for trading."

Zhuge Qing was stunned when he heard this, but soon realized the meaning of Lin Beixuan's words.

The thing in his hand is actually worth more than those elixirs.

But he didn't feel sorry.

Although they paid a high price in that strange place at that time, it was not for this thing, but for something else.

They couldn't see the black meat, and it was useless to keep it on their bodies, so it would be better to take it out and trade it when needed.

Besides, being able to establish a good relationship with the owner of this antique shop was worth it in Zhuge Qing's opinion.
The other party plans to open a store in the real world to resell goods from both the secular and secular worlds, which means that he has already mastered a channel to obtain goods.

This is a feature that only big forces like the Tongkou have.

After all, if you want to bring worldly things into the real world, you either have to go through fixed transit points, but that requires official supervision and you have to pay taxes.

Or you can go through those temporary secular transit places that move around, which is more dangerous and does not require you to pay any fees, but this requires you to master the rules of secular transit.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but no matter what, they both prove that the other has enough weight.

Zhuge Qing clasped his fists towards Lin Beixuan.

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for this time. I will spread the news so that the impermanence in this area of ​​Los Angeles will know that Brother Lin's store is a good business."

Lin Beixuan smiled and handed the tea to Zhuge Qing.

"In that case, thank you Brother Zhuge for helping me build my reputation."

"It doesn't matter."

The two men smiled at each other. Having been in the secular world for too long, they had been more or less contaminated by the ancient customs of the world and their speech became uncivilized.

Zhuge Qing put the tea back on the table without drinking it.

"Then I won't stay any longer. My brothers at home are waiting for me to bring back medicine to save their lives."

"Walk slowly."

Lin Beixuan smiled as he watched Zhuge Qing put the elixir into the bag, then he pushed the door and walked out, the smile on his face disappearing.

He picked up Zhuge Qing's cup of tea and drank it all, smacking his lips.

"Is it really that bad? Why can't I taste it?"

As he spoke, he poured the tea leaves, which cost more than ten yuan per pound, into the trash can.

Today's harvest was so rich that Lin Beixuan couldn't help humming a song, and all the weakness in his body seemed to disappear at this moment.

A piece of Tai Sui meat can get the help of the secular master. He must pay more attention to this kind of thing in the future.

If you encounter something you cannot solve, just ask the secular master to come out. All the secular gods, big or small, have to stand aside and make way for him.

'Having someone to back him up gives him confidence! Even if he were to run into the true form of the starving ghost, he would not be completely powerless to resist!'

It can be said that Zhuge Qing's piece of Tai Sui meat was delivered at a very timely moment, and the price was just some elixirs that he could not use for the time being to treat his internal injuries.

I got a great bargain for nothing.

He rearranged the shelves in the store, placing the contemporary antiques on one side and the other side for all the miscellaneous items he received today, as well as some worldly items he had found while roaming corpses. Of course, he subconsciously avoided the relics of the worldly children.

He had killed many secular people in the secular world, and they could not be resurrected, so they were truly dead.

If these people's things appeared in his store, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, so it would be better for him to stay in the secular world.

After dragging my weak body and packing up everything, it was already noon.

Lin Beixuan ate something casually at a restaurant outside and then planned to close the restaurant temporarily to go to class.

Now that Huang Shifu has also become a secular prince, and he has to go to school, it is obviously not enough for the two of them to run the store, so they have to recruit another clerk.

Moreover, this clerk must be trustworthy and reliable, and as a secular person, he won’t have too many problems.

But where can I find such a person?
He didn't want to end up inviting a thief in, preferably one who wouldn't like the things in his store.

Thinking in his mind, Lin Beixuan entered the classroom and saw Cheng Hao sitting in the last row with his head lowered.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Beixuan sat next to Cheng Hao and asked.

Cheng Hao raised his head, revealing his red eyes.

"The manure was so smelly that it caused inflammation in my eyes. Teacher Zhu Ling said that I was not suitable for this job and asked me to find someone else to be my master..."

Cheng Hao slapped the table and said, "I just accidentally threw feces on him. He must be unwilling to teach me because of this reason!"

Cheng Hao was filled with indignation and tore up the notes on picking up manure that he had written down with great concentration.

"..."

Looking at Cheng Hao like this, Lin Beixuan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only pat the other's shoulder as a brother's comfort.

What else can he say if he can't even learn the skill of picking up manure!

After Cheng Hao had vented his emotions, Lin Beixuan began to talk to him in a low voice.

"So what are you going to do next? If it doesn't work, I know some people in the secular world who can learn their skills and teach you."

"Need not."

Cheng Hao shook his head, his eyes full of determination: "I have already found my next learning goal. I plan to be a night watchman!"

"Night watchman..." Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows: "I heard that this job is very dangerous, and the mortality rate of newcomers is very high."

"I'm not afraid of death. What I'm afraid of is that I'm not strong enough!" Cheng Hao clenched his fists tightly.

"What happened?" Cheng Hao's eyes narrowed, cold stars seemed to flash in his eyes, and a layer of gloom covered his brows.

Cheng Hao is his best friend in this world, and the way he looks now is obviously because he has encountered trouble.

"Don't worry, I can handle it myself. I just ran into an old Taoist priest in the secular world and he beat Xiaoqian up. I want to learn some tricks and get my revenge back."

"I have already found Teacher Xu. He happens to be in Xuanzhou as well. He can directly teach me how to get started."

It was the first time that Lin Beixuan saw Cheng Hao doing something so seriously, so he didn't plan to persuade him anymore.

Although it is difficult for newcomers to join the night watchmen's profession, Cheng Hao has a drought demon following him. Strictly speaking, he is even stronger than some of the older generation of secular princes. It should be no problem for him to just patrol at night.

"Since you have made up your mind, just go for it. Your father will support you." Lin Beixuan finally patted Cheng Hao on the shoulder.

He originally thought of picking up a few worldly things from the store and giving them to Cheng Hao for self-defense after class, but then he thought that the other party probably didn't have any contact with cross-border cargo transportation at the moment, so he gave up after careful consideration.

"After the matter in Luozhou is over, arrange for someone to send him some things, including his Hanba wife named Xiaoqian, and you can also send some gifts over."

This class was an advanced mathematics class. Both of them had something on their minds, so they didn't listen carefully. Time passed quickly and the class ended.

The old professor who taught advanced mathematics left the classroom without looking back, tucked a book under his arm.

He had to rush to another campus to teach, which was the real main battlefield.

Now most of the students at the old campus of Los Angeles University are worldly people, and their hearts are all hung up on the secular world. The students don't listen attentively, and what he teaches is boring, which is a torture for both sides.

But this is a rigid standard issued by the Ministry of Education. Even if you are a secular boy, you have to learn cultural knowledge obediently.

This led to a phenomenon.

The learning atmosphere at the old campus of Los Angeles University is in sharp contrast to that of the new campus.

People in the old campus are very enthusiastic about learning worldly skills, but they become listless when it comes to academic subjects. On the other hand, people in the new campus adhere to the habits of students from key universities, and many people go to the library to reserve seats every morning.

Lin Beixuan separated from Cheng Hao as soon as he left the classroom. One returned to the store while the other went to the night watchman's activity classroom.

Looking at Cheng Hao's departing back, Lin Beixuan couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Since the last time the secular world passed through, the students at the old campus of the University of Los Angeles seemed to have evolved a new lifestyle. They went to classes, the cafeteria, the secular skills classroom, and the dormitory to sleep. Even the number of people dating on the playground decreased.

Although they all have the same identity, Lin Beixuan feels that he is out of tune with these new generation of worldly people.

He is in the most dangerous Luozhou, trying his best to lead people to survive in hell, while others are learning skills and making their way in the secular world, feeling the difference between the two worlds.

“Is this the mentality of the old generation of secular people?”

Lin Beixuan shook his head and smiled as he walked on the road, greeting the surrounding merchants.

He actually gets along better with these people than with his classmates.

Aunt Liu who sells breakfast and snow cheese, Uncle Ge who runs an oil candle business, Uncle Ma who sells the four treasures of the study, Miss Shan who runs a clothing store...

I heard that a Buddhist temple and a Taoist temple will be built on this street soon, and it will be even more lively then.

One mountain, two temples and seven major halls.

These people come from different forces. They work closely with the government and use various inducements to attract the secular people in Los Angeles University and dig into the government's corners.

What was once an ordinary street has now become a mixed bag.

Or the uncle who chats and laughs with you during the day may turn out to be a Jinyiwei who follows the orders of the court and has control over the lives and deaths of many people when he returns to the secular world at night.

"By the way, Xuan Country is like this now. It is smoothly transitioning the influence of the secular world. I wonder what the situation is like abroad?"

Lin Beixuan returned to the store and found a way to bypass the firewall to browse foreign websites.

It doesn't matter if you watch it, you will feel it is so exciting.

My goodness, werewolves and vampires knocked down the Pentagon in Amei on a full-moon night, the fire brigade was stopped by trolls on the road, and the police car was hit by the Ghost Rider...

　Today is my birthday, happy...
