The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Ding Dong!"

A one-yuan coin drew a graceful arc in the air and fell squarely into the iron basin, making a crisp sound, rolling a few times before stopping.

"Thank you." The man in the tattered Taoist robe thanked the person who had already left.

She waved the whisk in her hand, quickly picked up the coin, wiped it on her clothes, and then put it into her pocket as a treasure.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the whisk.

"Host, host!"

"We made five dollars today, one dollar more than yesterday!"

"You can buy two big meat buns now!"

The voice sounded extremely excited, and one could even clearly hear him swallowing his saliva while speaking.

Lu Shi combed his messy hair with his hands and said generously, "Buy two big meat buns, and I'll give you one when the time comes!"

After saying that, she swiftly stuffed the whisk and the iron basin into the small yellow cloth bag beside her.

What is surprising is that even though these two items were stuffed in the small cloth bag, it still looked flat and there was no sign that it contained anything.

"Let's go buy something to eat."

After Lu Shi took a few steps forward with a brisk pace, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something important, and turned back without hesitation.

"I almost forgot, I forgot to bring this."

As she spoke, she quickly bent down and reached out to pick up the paper sign with the word "fortune telling" written on it, and then carefully put it into the small cloth bag.

This is the most perfect piece of paper she had found after searching for a long time. It is just right to be used as a signboard, and she must not lose it.

Lu Shi came to a bun shop.

Before he even got close, Lu Shi yelled, "Boss, give me two big meat buns!"

Hearing the sound, the busy bun shop owner looked up and his eyes fell on Lu Shi, who was dressed like a beggar. He was startled at first, then showed a look of disgust and involuntarily took a small step back.

The boss said expressionlessly, "Meat buns are three yuan each."

When Lu Shi heard this, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief: "What? So expensive!"

Faced with Lu Shi's surprised reaction, the boss seemed very impatient and explained with a frown, "Our buns are made with real, high-quality ingredients. Not only are the skins thin, but the fillings are also extra-large, and the taste is amazing. We are quite famous in this area."

"Besides, go out and ask around. These days, which store sells buns that aren't priced around this price?"

Seeing that Lu Shi was still hesitant, the boss became more and more annoyed.

He waved his hands vigorously, rudely driving Lu Shi away, shouting, "Alright, alright, if you can't afford it, then get out of the way! Don't stand here getting in the way and delaying my business!"

It looked as if Lu Shi was some disgusting and dirty thing.

Seeing this, Lu Shi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. She retorted indignantly: "With your attitude, it's strange that business can be good!"

"Luckily, he became famous for his delicious food. I think he became famous for being scolded!"

He has no luck with money to begin with, and now he has such a bad temper. It would be strange if he has any customers.

Hearing this, the boss felt even worse.

He has a bad temper because he has no business and can't make money. When he can't make money, his temper becomes even worse and he has even fewer customers.

This becomes a vicious cycle.

Now that Lu Shi had exposed his true intentions, the boss's face was so dark that ink could drip out of it.

So Lu Shi, who wanted to buy a meat bun to try, slipped away before the boss made a move.

While walking on the way to find food, Lu Shi fell into a brief contemplation with the five coins in his hand.

"System, the prices here are all the same. How about we buy a meat bun and a vegetable bun?"

"Can I have the meat bun?"

"Of course not! I earned the money, so of course I'm the one who eats the meat buns!"

The system rolled its eyes secretly, "Host, you begged for it, not earned it."

"You didn't ask for it, so if you keep asking, I won't give you any of the buns!"

After saying that, Lu Shi went to another store and bought a meat bun and a vegetable bun.

On the way, the system asked Lu Shi while chewing on a vegetable bun, "Host, why don't you take out the food you've stored in your space? Isn't this a critical time?"

"What do you know? This is called dedication!" Lu Shi took a big bite of the bun next to him, his mouth full of oil.

The system was very envious when it saw this, and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Why didn't I see you being so dedicated before?"

"Don't make any noise. Let's find a deserted bridge hole and eat secretly later!"

The system's eyes lit up, "Okay, host!"

So after eating the buns, the two of them found an empty bridge hole and took out the delicious food they had stored in the space.

The aroma of food filled the air, but despite being physiologically hungry, the system had no appetite.

"Host, how about we change places?"

"Why? I finally found a place where no one is around, and you just change it like that?"

"Although there is no one here, there are ghosts!"

Although it was broad daylight, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate the underside of the bridge, making it seem somewhat eerie. Even ghosts could come out and move around.

The system is a bit broken at this point.

Those ghosts have already floated onto his face, how can he eat?

Moreover, each of these ghosts is ugly in its own way. It’s scary enough, yet they still eat!

Lu Shi was unmoved: "Don't tell me that you, a spirit of a thousand-year-old weapon, are afraid of these little ghosts."

As she spoke, Lu Shi pushed away a ghost head that was about to get close to the roast chicken in her hand.

"Hey bro, this is my roast chicken, okay? If you want to eat it, give me some money!"

The ghost with a big hole in his head brightened up when he heard this.

"You come with me!"

Seeing that the ghost was serious, Lu Shi was shocked.

"No man, you're really rich!"

"Just to be clear, I don't want ghost money."

Apia also said seriously: "It's real money, not ghost money."

Lu Shi was half-believing and half-doubting, but still followed him.

After walking about ten meters, the ghost pointed at a body on a pile of rocks and said, "Go look for it. When I died, I had 100 yuan in cash on me, and there was money in my phone, but I fell to my death, so my phone must have been broken too."

Lu Shi was silent for a moment. "I was wondering where you got the money from, but it turns out it's all yours."

"That's okay!"

But Lu Shi definitely cannot be asked to do the job of touching the corpse alone.

So she called the system.

The system is like a brick that can be moved wherever it is needed.

"Tongzi, go find the money he has on him."

"Why don't you go yourself!"

The system widened its eyes and glared at the landing.

It was obvious that the body had been dead for more than just a day or two, it looked like it had been at least half a month.

The body was in a highly decomposed state, with a swollen and discolored abdomen, a corpse green color, and a strong foul odor. There were also some signs of being eaten by animals.

Looking at the flies flying around the corpse, the system was once again thankful that he had not eaten just now, otherwise he would have felt so nauseous that he would have vomited.

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it!"

Lu Shi slapped his forehead.

The system showed an expression of being ready to die, made up its mind, closed its eyes and moved towards the corpse.

"vomit--"

Ahhh, what did he touch!

"Uh-uh--"

Ahhh, can you please stop those flies from flying around?

"vomit--"

...After a "duel", the system ran back with a hundred-dollar bill.

The banknotes fell lightly at Lu Shi's feet, and his ears were filled with the system's screams of pain.

Lu Shi calmly picked up the banknotes on the ground and said, "There's water over there. Go wash it. I'll disinfect it for you when you come back."

Then he said to the corpse's owner, A Pia, who was standing nearby: "You saw it too. Our staff has suffered severe mental trauma because of you."

Apia shook his shaky head, "So?"

Lu Shi looked serious.

"So I can only give you half of your roast chicken!"
