Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 29: Teacher Maru
"..."

This time it was Liu Fei's turn to be speechless, and her eyes were full of disbelief as she looked at Lin Beixuan.

It seems to be asking: You just came to the antique market with only two hundred dollars in your pocket?
Lin Beixuan scratched his head in embarrassment. He really had no choice. Buying the convenience store had almost used up all his savings, and he didn't have much money left. He had to squeeze out these two hundred yuan.

Isn't picking up bargains just about spending the least money to get the biggest benefit?

"Forget it!" Liu Fei looked helpless. She took out her cell phone from her bag, took a look at it, and walked straight to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, I helped him get the thing he wanted."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a strange tone: "Who is that boy to you? Do you want to help him with this money?"

"I just said that he and I are just classmates."

"Haha, your classmate needs to buy this thing that can cover up the worldly atmosphere?"

The middle-aged man saw through Liu Fei's thoughts at a glance. He picked up the bracelet that Lin Beixuan liked from the stall and threw it over.

"Since you are a newbie, don't say that I don't take care of you. If you want something, you can take it. I won't charge you a penny. Just do me a favor."

Lin Beixuan took the bracelet thrown to him and was not surprised that the middle-aged man could see his identity.

In fact, when he learned about the relationship between Liu Fei and the middle-aged man, he knew that his identity would most likely be guessed by others.

The news that Liu Fei had sleeping sickness was widely spread in the school, and her family could not have been unaware of it. In addition, most of the items sold by the middle-aged man in front of her were antiques that could be indicated by the panel, which meant that the middle-aged man in front of her was most likely inseparable from the secular world.

Oh my god, could it be that I have been tricked?

Lin Beixuan made some calculations in his mind, wondering whether he should find an opportunity to escape.

It was only the second time that he and Liu Fei met, and the other party actually planned to help him advance the money. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Do things, be a ghost!
Lin Beixuan put the bracelet back on the stall with an expressionless face and slowly walked back.

The middle-aged man laughed and scolded, "You are quite cautious, which suits my temper. You can wait for me to finish talking before deciding whether to do this or not."

Lin Beixuan stopped walking after hearing this, raised his head and glanced at Liu Fei, only to see that the other party smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this, but you can listen to what he has to say before leaving."

"All right!"

At this point, Lin Beixuan didn't say anything more and just waited quietly for the middle-aged man to speak.

The middle-aged man was not vague and said immediately: "At twelve o'clock tomorrow night, a batch of new goods will be shipped from Xiangxi. We have two people now, and we are short of one person to carry the things. I wonder if you are willing to help you?"

"What kind of goods will be traded at twelve o'clock at night?"

Lin Beixuan had a strange look in his eyes, and couldn't help but think of many crime movies in Hong Kong.

"Don't worry, I am a law-abiding citizen and I have nothing to do with gambling or drugs. The reason why I trade at night is because it is inconvenient for the items to be exposed to light, so I do it at night."

"If you help me do this, not only will the bracelet be yours, but you will also receive a service fee of 20,000 yuan."

The middle-aged man raised two fingers. This was really twenty thousand, not two hundred.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Beixuan's face, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. Not only could he obtain old items but he could also receive other rewards, which was equivalent to a profit of 70,000 yuan in one night. This was a very tempting number for Lin Beixuan at the moment.

"But... why did you choose me?" Lin Beixuan asked the question in his heart. In his opinion, Liu Fei's second uncle must have entered the secular world, perhaps one of the earlier ones, and knew a lot about the relationship between the secular world and the real world.

The middle-aged man smiled, stood up from the stool and stretched exaggeratedly.

"Because you're new!"

"Newbie?"

Lin Beixuan discovered that both Liu Fei and his second uncle showed a lot of kindness in their actions towards the newcomers who had just entered the secular world.

"Nowadays, many veterans in the secular world have become unruly because many people have been corrupted by the secular world. Besides, the price of hiring a veteran is high. I am just going to pick up the goods. There is no need to spend a lot of money to hire a veteran to help."

"Nowadays, many newcomers in the world are either recruited by the authorities in advance or are intentionally trained by other organizations. It is very difficult to find a newcomer without a background."

The middle-aged man lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: "This is also the reason why I chose you."

Lin Beixuan nodded when he heard this. He could tell that the other party was telling the truth. However, what he found difficult to understand was why newcomers with no background had become so rare.

"I have another question." Lin Beixuan looked at the middle-aged man with a serious expression: "I want to know what exactly is the cargo you received?"

Lin Beixuan would never get involved in anything that would endanger himself. Some information has been revealed on the website of the Two Worlds Communication Group, which shows that many people in the real world have worldly means.

If it were used on a human in the modern world, I'm afraid the person wouldn't be able to be saved even if sent to the hospital.

Lin Beixuan had been tricked once in the secular world and had become extra cautious.

Although this is an opportunity to get to know their circle, opportunities are not as important as life.

The middle-aged man seemed to have guessed the question asked by Lin Beixuan, and said directly: "Corpses, or zombies infected by the secular aura."

"Zombies!"

Lin Beixuan couldn't help but scream in shock. He thought it would be some shady antique transaction, but he didn't expect it to be zombies!

It's literally something that cannot be seen in the light.

"What's so surprising about this? The secular world has turned over, and the turbid air has returned to the world. Many things are inevitably infected by the secular atmosphere. This is just a normal phenomenon."

The middle-aged man said it lightly, glanced at Lin Beixuan and said: "Boy, haven't you seen those things in the secular world?"

Lin Beixuan was speechless for a moment. He had seen it, but could seeing it in the secular world be compared with seeing it in the real world?

"Since you've seen it before, there's nothing to be afraid of. To be honest, many of the things I sell at my stall were taken from corpses. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often."

"What do you think? Are you willing to help?" The middle-aged man exhaled a smoke ring and said to Lin Beixuan with his eyes fixed.

Lin Beixuan pondered for a long time, squatted silently in front of the stall, picked up the bracelet and put it on his hand.

Without words, his attitude was expressed through actions.

The middle-aged man raised his lips slightly and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, kid, you won't suffer any loss."

"My name is Maru, you can call me Maru-sensei."
