Faced with Chu Xiu's request, Qin Xiang only thought about it for a while and agreed. "But I also have a request, that is, you have to conduct the Old Day Trial within a year." "We don't have time to drag it on. The sudden appearance of the extreme way and the outer demon disrupted the plan above. No one knows what we will encounter after continuing to go deeper into the abyss. We must race against time!" "No problem." Chu Xiu agreed. He didn't bargain anymore, because he knew that the other regulations were rules set by several major forces, which were difficult to change. At least Qin Xiang certainly didn't have the qualifications, so Chu Xiu didn't argue anymore. Next, the two began to finalize the specific details. The first is the matter of exchanging materials for cause and effect points. The meeting place and time are designated by Chu Xiu, and only the people he has confirmed can enter the five-mile radius of the selected location. If Chu Xiu finds that there are unrelated people wandering around, the transaction will be canceled directly. Chu Xiu decided to sell the equipment and props of [Collection] and below quality and [Anchor Point] first. If the cooperation goes well, he will sell the high-level items later until the two treasures [Upgrade Core] and [God Sequence] are replaced. Although Chu Xiu felt that as a civilization envoy, the other party should not be disadvantageous to him, and with the means of those high-level awakeners, if they are determined to ambush him, his preparations will be useless.
But it is always right to be cautious. Qin Xiang also gave Chu Xiu the growth opportunity prepared by the government. "Combining the various data found in the corpse city, we roughly located a refuge point about 200 kilometers away from the corpse city." "It turned out to be a military district. At the first moment of the doomsday, the determined and powerful soldiers took control of the situation and established a research institute and a refuge with it as a base, taking in a large number of refugees and top scientists." "According to the records reproduced by the radio station, this military district seems to have persisted for a long time, and it was still operating normally until the corpse city was completely destroyed." "We speculate that the level of the abyss creatures there is generally higher than that of the corpse city. It is a good place to explore. It got the highest score in the comprehensive information rating, but what is there can only be known by going there." "Three days after the cooling period ends, our expedition team will set off. Of course, you can join or act alone." This opportunity sounds really good. "So what I have to do next is to fight monsters and upgrade in the corpse ghost world, improve my strength, and at the same time pay attention to trustworthy teammates to form a team that can pass the old days within a year." Chu Xiu roughly sorted out his next goal. As long as he can successfully pass the Old Days, his importance in the hearts of the big guys will increase significantly, and he will get a huge amount of resource investment. It can be said that this is an opportunity greater than the core anchor point of the world mission! He must seize it well. After finalizing all the details, Qin Xiang also said goodbye and left. This investigator seemed to be quite overwhelmed by the affairs of Jidao and the outer demons, and he didn't want to waste any time. Chu Xiu wandered around Yuancheng again. Since he came here, he also wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the dark side of this world, so that he could make more accurate judgments on some things in the future. After carefully walking around Yuancheng, Chu Xiu found that most of the people here communicated like him and Qin Xiang, first adding friends with identity information, and then having a detailed interview. Only a few organizations would build houses here and set up their own bases. Most of these bases are small one- or two-story bungalows, but there is a building that stands out from the crowd among a bunch of bungalows, which is particularly conspicuous. It was a luxurious Chinese-style loft with more than ten floors, and a sign of "Shanwailou" was hung on the door.
"There are mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens, is that what it means?" This made Chu Xiu quite curious. While thinking about it, he walked in and took a look. The loft was very empty, with only data information on the wall and a person in charge standing in the corner. The person in charge did not move, and it seemed that only a small part of his thoughts were left here, and most of his attention was on the main body. Chu Xiu did not care and walked around by himself. The first thing that came into view was a huge [Public Commission] section, which was densely filled with many tasks. These tasks seemed to be for those [Contracted Mercenaries] who joined Shanwailou but were not core members of Shanwailou to accept. Because Chu Xiu was an outsider, he could only see the tasks with the lowest level of confidentiality, but even so the information on it still shocked him! [Find out the specific talent of the eldest son of the Zhao family in Kyoto, and the reward is 50,000 cause and effect points. 】 【Disfigure a female student from Modu No. 1 Middle School, name Zhang Chuchu, student number 207914355, reward is a "perfect" grade general equipment. 】 【Sell an "embryo" with A-level talent "sensory sharing", gender is male, well preserved, buyer brings his own hand of deprivation, private chat to ask the price. 】 Of course, this kind of "dark" task is relatively rare, more are ordinary tasks such as searching for materials and sniffing out some information about the higher existence. But this still makes Chu Xiu secretly shocked. What's more terrifying is that it seems that Shanwailou has its own core members who will serve some top bosses. The slogan they gave is that as long as the price is high enough, they will accept all tasks! Even asking them to assassinate the king is fine! Even if the slogan is exaggerated, it would never be said without a strong enough foundation. What really surprised Chu Xiu was that he had never heard of any news about this organization, either in reality or on the Internet. He even heard the name "Shanwailou" for the first time! This ability to block information and keep it confidential is really amazing. Curious, he learned about it in detail. It is very simple to become a contracted mercenary. Just accept a task and complete it. The more tasks you complete, the higher the mercenary level will be, and you can unlock tasks with higher confidentiality levels and richer rewards. For strong and idle awakeners, this is a good way to obtain resources. Just when Chu Xiu was hesitating whether to try to join Shanwailou, his eyes suddenly moved and he saw a task. [Collect information related to the extraterritorial demon Az Ilituya Mugos, the reward is more than one thousand causal points, and the value of the information can be discussed in detail. 】 "Isn't this the painful god I met during the trial of the soldier level?" After thinking for a while, Chu Xiu contacted the person in charge standing in the corner, accepted the task and left his identity information and some basic information. The man wrote Chu Xiu's information on a piece of brown paper in a businesslike manner, and then put it in a small drawer behind him, and then ignored Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu turned around and left Shanwailou without caring, and then left Yuancheng without stopping. Consciousness was wrapped in the empty space pipe and shuttled rapidly. Chu Xiu felt that the surrounding space was rapidly distorted. It seemed that the eyes were continuously illuminated by intermittent strong light, and waves of dizziness came. Half a minute later, as consciousness came to reality, all the bizarre illusions in front of him disappeared, replaced by a familiar bedroom.
The afternoon sun fell on Chu Xiu's arms, bringing bursts of warmth. The noisy voices and the greasy aroma of the barbecue stall came in from the half-open window, making Chu Xiu feel as if he was in another world. In the digital world, all his senses disappeared, and he could only sense the cold data flow. In this case, he felt that all his emotions were deprived, leaving only rational logical thinking. At the same time, the dark and bloody reality in Yuancheng also intensified this feeling. When he was in Yuancheng, he didn't feel much, but after returning to Blue Star, this strong contrast made Chu Xiu immediately feel a sense of being alive that he had always ignored. For some reason, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind at this moment, and his intuition told him that this idea was correct. "After being swallowed by the abyss, the completely digital world should be like Yuancheng." Chu Xiu didn't understand what it meant to be swallowed by the abyss before, but now he finally had some practical experience. In the world of data, there are no variables, all evolutions can be predicted, and the collisions of thoughts and emotions will all disappear. There is only data, everything is data. To be honest, Chu Xiu always felt that he was a person with quite indifferent emotions, but after becoming a pure information body, he realized that he was no different from ordinary people after all, and emotions and ties were still part of his personality. Chu Xiu let out a sigh and moved his ears slightly. His strong perception ability allowed him to clearly capture the noise made by his mother busy in the kitchen through the wooden door. He looked at the time. His father said he was going out for a walk before, and it was almost time for him to come back. Chu Xiu smiled and turned out of the window directly, jumping down from the sixth floor. When he was close to the ground, he took a light step and landed on the ground silently. He walked out of the community and walked west along the street. He soon came to a bank. Not long after entering, he came out with a gold card. During this period, he sold a lot of low-quality items on the auction website and deposited all the money he earned into a bank account. There were 5 million Chinese yuan in the bank card in his hand. It was not particularly much, but it could also allow his parents to live a good life without worrying about their livelihood. Now Chu Xiu said 5 million, even 500 million would not be a problem, but taking out too much money at once would only cause panic among his parents and easily attract the attention of those who were interested. Chu Xiu thought that in a few months, he could buy a house in the city center without arousing anyone's suspicion. There was better security and more convenient travel, and his parents would not have to squeeze in with him in the old residential building. Thinking of his parents' happy smiles, Chu Xiu couldn't help but smile and quickly returned to his bedroom. Just as he turned back from the window, his mother's voice came from outside the house: "It's time to eat!" Chu Xiu responded and pushed the door open. His father was already sitting at the table. The tempting aroma of braised spareribs filled his nose. Chu Xiu sat down with a smile and was about to take out his bank card, but he paused as if he suddenly realized something and looked at his father. Father Chu seemed to be in a low mood today, with his head down, but there was nothing unusual on his face. However, with Chu Xiu's powerful perception, every heartbeat of his father and even the sound of blood flow were clearly recorded in his ears. He could feel that his father's condition was much worse than before he left in the morning. Looking closely, he could vaguely see some bruises on his slightly open collar. Chu Xiu's eyes turned cold: "Dad, what's wrong with your injuries?" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu's father looked obviously stunned. He seemed to have never expected that Chu Xiu could see it, and he was still pretending to say: "What kind of injury? No." Chu Xiu could only point to himself helplessly: "Dad, your son is an awakened person. How can you hide this from me?" Father Chu then changed his mind and said, "It's nothing serious. I accidentally fell down on the road. As you know, I am a disabled person who relies on a wheelchair when I go out. A little bump is normal."
Naturally, Chu Xiu would not believe these words. Under his intense questioning, Father Chu reluctantly told the truth. What Chu Xiu didn't expect was that this was actually related to him. It turned out that the day after he came back from the abyss, Chu's father and Chu's mother asked the school about his talent and career. After learning that it was only a D-level auxiliary profession, the two elders only wanted Chu Xiu to do some craft work in a safe environment on Blue Star. They did not seek wealth, as long as he could support his family. No matter what, it was better than venturing into the abyss. Well come. In their eyes, Chu Xiu's ability to spend the rest of his life safely was more important than anything else. But they soon discovered that although Chu Xiu promised well, he turned around and ran into the abyss again. This made the second elder secretly blame himself. They felt that it was all their fault for dragging down Chu Xiu. Not only did they not provide him with a wealthy living environment, but they also made him bear the burden of the family at a young age. Perhaps this is why he takes frequent risks even though his talent is so poor. Chu's father felt especially guilty about this. As the head of the family, he became a complete invalid after breaking his leg and became a burden to Chu Xiu's mother and son. This was completely unacceptable to him, so he secretly thought about getting back the compensation he deserved for his broken leg. Although a settlement agreement was signed at the time, the methods used by the black-hearted boss were not honorable, especially since his son has now become an awakened person. Chu's father felt that he could get some more back. By then, even if Chu Xiu is still determined to enter the abyss, he can still buy some equipment and props for him. And the result is obvious. If the black-hearted boss had given money, he would have given it long ago. How could it be delayed until now? He refused to give him the money and instead beat Chu's father. This made Chu Xiu furious and at the same time dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his parents would misunderstand his hidden talent. "Boy, don't overestimate your capabilities and look for trouble," Chu's father said nervously, "I have already taken care of this matter, you don't need to worry about it anymore!" "Don't worry, Dad." Chu Xiu shook his head helplessly, then he slapped the bank card in his hand on the dining table and handed it over: "Dad, check how much money is in this card. The password is 040408." Looking at the rather exaggeratedly decorated bank card, Chu's father was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know what it was about, he still followed the instructions and checked it on his mobile phone. Soon, his eyes widened in shock. "Five, five million! Where did you get so much money!" His voice trembled slightly, and Chu's mother opened her mouth in surprise. "Dad, Mom, you underestimate your son too much," Chu Xiu chuckled. "Although my talent is not high-grade, it is very useful. I can make a lot of money as long as I work as an assistant in a safe place!" "Take these five million and don't do such stupid things again in the future." "this" Chu's father and Chu's mother had not yet recovered from the shock. It was not until Chu Xiu repeatedly assured that the money was earned honestly that they looked at each other and showed expressions of surprise. "Okay, okay! My son is going to be successful!" Father Chu excitedly patted Chu Xiu on the shoulder, his face full of pride. But then he warned: "Son, you can make a lot of money now, so don't cause trouble! Let's take some losses if we suffer. Safety and stability are the right principles." Chu Xiu promised again and again. With these five million, the previous gloom has been swept away, and the family is enjoying themselves.
But after eating and returning to his bedroom, Chu Xiu's face suddenly turned cold. He was so busy with leveling before that he forgot about it. Fortunately, Chu's father only suffered some superficial injuries and was not seriously injured, otherwise he would die of guilt. Without hesitation, Chu Xiu locked the door and then climbed out of the window again. He sent Li Gui to steal his father's cell phone and found the contact information of the evil boss Huang Jun. He quickly determined the location of the other party from the chat history. Chu Xiu put on a mask and a black robe, and a quarter of an hour later, he appeared in front of a luxuriously decorated KTV club. He used his Qi Condensation Technique and sneaked into the club silently in a flash. The surveillance along the way was sabotaged by him without anyone noticing, and without much effort, he arrived at the seventh floor where Huang Jun was. This guy is in the innermost box, Tianzi No. 1. But just when Chu Xiu was about to take action, he suddenly discovered something with a soft "Hey", a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face, and then he hid his figure again. Not long after, in his surprised eyes, a tall figure slowly walked up from downstairs. It turned out to be Zhang Qingshan! As soon as he arrived on the seventh floor, Zhang Qingshan walked towards the box where Huang Jun was with a clear purpose, then kicked the door open and walked in. This scene made Chu Xiu look weird. He thought of his father's previous words that he had settled the matter. So the solution is to call Qingshan for help? !
