The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 459 Thriller Game
"Summer has thunder and winter has snow."

"It's snowing well this time. It's a good sign for a good year of snow."

There are no years in the mountains.

Day by day, it is too fast.

Zhang Heng still remembered that Lu Sheng's return seemed like yesterday, but in fact, it was already half a year ago.

"No matter how good Ruixue is, she can't cover up this messy incident."

"If Miao Zhuye doesn't reward you with food, God will have nothing to do with it."

The first snow is falling.

Zhang Heng stepped on the snow, holding the sleeping tiger cub with its paws covering its eyes.

aside.

A crab spirit who was half a person tall and wearing a small round hat was following behind with a flattering expression.

no way.

Demons also have to eat, and no one can drink the Northwest Wind.

There is no kingly law in the Hushan domain, but there are rules.

The emperor in the court said it was not big, and the temple on the mountain said it was not small.

God is clear, think for yourself.

"I just enjoy the food, it depends on whether you can take it or not."

"Under my rule, whether it's human or demon, I hope you will have food to eat."

"But you monsters, there are too few who are willing to use their brains. Let's say last year, the price of deer blood increased, and there was a deer demon who didn't learn well and sold blood like others."

"Sell it as soon as you sell it, and live a good life. It doesn't like it. It takes the money to gamble. What will happen? Nine out of ten bets will lose. Blood will be pumped to death on the gambling table."

Zhang Heng stopped.

Looking at the small town by the lake in front of him, he smiled and said, "That's right, when you said that you would lead the aquarium ashore to seek a living and build a demon town that belongs to you, I didn't like it."

"It's not easy to mix on land. The bull demon clan is still pulling carts for people. They work hard every day and earn hard money."

"But I didn't expect that you, the king of crabs in the water, could actually lead a group of toad spirits, crab spirits, water snake spirits, and bastards to build a small town by the lake, and even set up a commercial street and a demon restaurant in a big way. "

Zhang Heng sighed, "I heard from Mrs. Mouse that you are almost becoming a golden cave, not only the monsters in Dachang Mansion, but also the mountain spirits, yakshas, ​​and even the land of Hebo in other prefectures. Everyone likes to come to you to be cool, you are very capable."

"Miao Zhu Ye."

How dare the old crab agree, instead he repeatedly shirked: "I wipe my mouth with lard, and the surface is smooth. You really think too highly of me."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Miao Zhu, it's difficult for the little demon. Let's say half a month ago, a mandrill came and refused to let go. He insisted that I was a black shop, and almost demolished it for me. Fortunately, Mrs. Tianshu was there. Otherwise, even if I grow two more pairs of pliers, I won't be able to stop doing such a waste."

"Really." Zhang Heng was a little surprised: "These days, monsters have to be human with their tails between their tails. Those who can't pinch their tails either died or escaped, and went to Buddhist and Taoist families to be Dharma protectors. Why, they are still so arrogant. of."

"Alas" the old crab also sighed: "The main reason is that I am not strong enough. Besides, in the 360 ​​line, which line does not have its own difficulties, just say me. I am in the business of opening doors, and those who come are customers."

"But my guests are all big and small monsters, and not one or two are stronger than me."

"Who doesn't eat well, if you make a fuss, you have to keep a smile on your face. People who make trouble don't dare to say a lot, but you can always meet them when you come and go."

"Last time, I was lucky. The old lady happened to be there. Otherwise, if the old mandrill really made a fuss, I'm afraid I wouldn't be the opponent."

heard.

Zhang Heng looked at Boss Xie.

Count it up.

Boss Crab's strength is not weak, he belongs to half-step true immortals, the kind of half-immortals who can pass through the immortal calamity, but are not sure, afraid of death and dare not cross, stuck in the realm.

But the strong have their own strong hands.

There are many monsters who buy it for its face, and there are naturally many people who don't buy it.

Although there is something that can be reported to the mountain temple, please ask the temple to be the master.

But then again.

It is not a problem for a businessman to run to the temple twice in three days.

"Welcome the guests."

was thinking.

The most luxurious and high-end entertainment venue in Narcissus Town, Narcissus Residence, has arrived.

looks.

This is an eleven-story restaurant located on the shore of the lake, half built on land and half in the lake.

At the door stood eight waiters of frogs.

Looks like a waiter.

Because their cultivation level is not high, they are all primitive demons. In order to look good, they wear clothes that look like human beings. The style of the clothes is still uniform, all light green, and the word "Tang" is written on the chest. I don't know. Does it mean the waiter?

"delicious!"

into the store.

The lobby on the first floor is well decorated and looks very upscale.

There are still many demon eaters inside, gathering in twos and threes at the same table.

Look up.

There are all kinds of monsters, and they have everything.

It's just that most of them have low cultivation bases, and it will be over in two or three hundred years.

See Zhang Heng's eyes.

Boss Xie observed Zhang Heng's question and quickly answered, "Miao Zhu, our Narcissus Residence is divided into grades, with eleven floors up and down, and what level of cultivation is on which floor. Those with special backgrounds can add floors as appropriate. So these little demons are only qualified to sit below."

Zhang Heng nodded lightly.

Most of these little monsters in the lobby are down-and-outs with low cultivation.

Just look at their clothes.

Usually I was reluctant to wear them, and kept pressing them at the bottom of the box, and some of them didn't fit well.

As for why they have money to eat in restaurants.

It's actually simple.

Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain.

Since he lifted the Forbidden Mountain Order, many merchants have come to the Tiger Mountain area.

These local monsters, who are like householders, also learn to identify medicinal materials and go up the mountain to collect them.

When I was lucky, I picked up two vintage herbs, and naturally I had money left over for tooth-making sacrifices.

"Miao Zhu Lord, please go up."

Boss Crab continued to lead the way, and introduced as he walked: "From the outside, it may not look big to me, but in fact, there is something wrong with it, I hired someone who knows how to make it, and it is actually more than ten times bigger than what I saw from the outside. "

"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. My Shuixianju is not only a restaurant, but also a comprehensive hall."

How comprehensive.

Zhang Heng saw it before Boss Crab said it.

I saw clam girls standing in the pool playing, playing, singing and dancing.

about.

There are black bears who play the erhu and loquats who play the zither.

By the way, look at other areas.

Saunas, medicine baths, gaming tables, we also have what humans have.

more than this.

Zhang Heng also saw many reward lists hanging on a wall.

Take a quick glance.

There was one list that impressed him.

It was a pig with fine hair named Pei Qi. She was born with deformities, not to mention pink all over, and her nose grew on her forehead, so she didn't get married for hundreds of years.

The reason for the reward is also simple.

Wanting everyone to help, I introduced Ruyi Langjun to her, but the salary is a bit low, only three jars of rice, and the request is only given after marriage, so it's not like your hard work is in vain.

"The nose grows on the forehead?"

Zhang Heng was also muttering: "So long?"

If you say that he has traveled all over the world for many years, he has never heard of or seen anything.

I opened my eyes today too.

Shake his head.

Just ignore it.

Zhang Heng continued to follow Boss Xie upstairs.

Boss Crab can build Narcissus Town, so he naturally has his own business experience. While going upstairs, he whispered to Zhang Heng, "You may not know that things flock together, and people are divided into groups. If you say xenophobic, monsters are the same."

"Even in this Hushan area, there are many monsters who don't like humans and are unwilling to deal with humans."

"That's why my Narcissus Building sometimes does business as a middleman, or simply pays to buy the treasures in the hands of other demons, and then sells them in human towns to make a difference."

Buy low and sell high.

It has been there since ancient times.

Zhang Heng didn't care either.

Because whether it is a human or a demon, those who are familiar will be at ease, while those who are unfamiliar will be afraid.

There is a medical term called social phobia.

There are quite a few monsters who suffer from this disease. This is not a symptom unique to humans. Some monsters even know that the price of selling the same medicine to humans can be [-] to [-]% higher than that of similar monsters. The fear of unfamiliarity and the anxiety of leaving a familiar environment will not go to human beings to trade, even if it is more profitable.

"Old Madam Mouse thinks highly of you."

"Sure enough, you are a smart person who understands the way of business. Although you are not good at cultivation or killing, you are very economical and socially savvy."

"If you continue to develop like this, it is now Narcissus Town, and as the number of demons settles in in the future, it might become Narcissus City."

Zhang Heng said so.

Mr. Crab was also happy to hear that.

It just didn't last long.

Soon Zhang Heng changed the subject, and said again: "But have you ever thought about why the demons don't build their own cities and integrated economic circles, and you, are you the first demon to do so?"

"Ok?"

Mr. Crab didn't pay attention at first.

After waiting for a few seconds, he realized the seriousness of the problem, and the pliers in his hand shook involuntarily.

"You did a good job."

Zhang Heng seemed unaware: "Looking at the size of the town, there should be several thousand monsters, and it's almost catching up with the size of a medium-sized monster tribe. Well, it's pretty good. Keep the scale under control. Don't exceed ten thousand." , It is said that a large tribe of monster tribes with over ten thousand can easily attract disasters."

Boss Crab swallowed.

Hear the string song and know the elegant meaning.

How could he not understand Zhang Heng's implication, his legs trembled in fright for a moment, and he held on to the stairs to prevent himself from falling down.

Seeing that the crab boss is afraid of becoming like this.

Zhang Heng didn't say anything anymore, because he had already said enough, if it wasn't for the fact that Boss Xie was one of the monsters under his rule, he wouldn't have said so much.

"Ow."

in silence.

The little tiger kicked his legs and woke up.

"Zhang Heng, where did this go?"

The little tiger looked around and continued to curl up in his arms, rubbing his head against his clothes.

"Narcissus Town."

"A lakeside town that belongs exclusively to demons under our Tiger Mountain region."

Zhang Heng stroked the little tiger's fur: "I heard that the food here is good, especially the fish. There is a saying that there is a fish that eats four. Do you want to try it?"

The little tiger looked at him expectantly.

Don't speak, what you want to say is in the expression.

"Uh"

Seeing the saliva dripping directly on his hands.

How could Zhang Heng not know that his Dharma Guardian Spirit Officer was hungry, and he smiled and told Boss Crab, "Prepare the meals."

quack!
The crab boss waved his hand, and a frog went to prepare.

at the same time.

Another frog jumped over and respectfully handed over a wet towel soaked in warm water: "Dear guest, this may be what you need."

"good."

Zhang Heng did not refuse.

He took the towel, wiped the back of his hands, and then wiped the little tiger's face, and then continued to the crab boss who was standing by: "Crab boss, I have seen this, it is indeed very good, and there are prospects for development. It's not a big problem for me to send the demon army to station in Narcissus Town, it's just..."

Boss Crab tensed up instantly.

He is not afraid of anything, but only two words.

With these two words, the previous words are basically in vain.

"Don't be nervous."

Zhang Heng is not a monster who cannibalizes people and doesn't spit out bones, so he said kindly: "But let's forget about your so-called shareholding."

"what!"

Mr. Crab was taken aback for a moment.

The next second, I noticed something was wrong and wanted to make amends.

"No need to say any more."

Zhang Heng waved his hand: "I am Miaozhu of the Tiger God Temple. What does it look like for me to become a shareholder of Narcissus Town? Am I a robber? If I don't do anything, I will take [-]% of your shares in private."

"Miao Zhu Ye"

The crab boss suddenly became anxious.

Zhang Heng ignored him and just admired the murals on the wall.

After a while.

Even Boss Crab felt that Zhang Miaozhu was really in high spirits.

Zhang Heng let out a light sigh, and suddenly said: Boss Crab, you in Narcissus Town never thought about not paying taxes, did you? "

Uh.
Boss Crab was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Our Narcissus Town is a monster under the Tiger Mountain Region, so naturally we have to pay taxes to the temple."

"Oh."

Zhang Heng nodded, and said again: "For example, those monsters of cattle and horses do all the work of pulling and shoveling the ground. It's all hard work, haha. I don't have two money, and all I pay is agricultural tax."

"You are different. You are in business, you are in business, and you are businessmen."

"Farmers have agricultural taxes, and merchants have commercial taxes. Humans rule the country with this law, and temples use this law to rule demons. Do you think it is reasonable?"

Boss Crab was a little confused, but he still nodded and said, "That's reasonable."

"Be reasonable."

Zhang Heng nodded again: "That's it. The agricultural tax is 300%, and the commercial tax is doubled to [-]%. In the future, your Narcissus Town will have a garrison of [-] demon soldiers. They will help you deal with security issues. , In addition, at the beginning of each month, remember to hand over the tax books and taxes to the temple for this month."

"Sixty percent!"

Boss Crab was dumbfounded.

Look at Zhang Heng.

Facing those emotionless eyes, Boss Xie bit his teeth again and again, his eyes were almost red: "It's reasonable."

My heart is bleeding.

Originally, in its calculations, there are often demons making troubles in Narcissus Town, and it wants to ask Zhang Heng to send a team of demon soldiers to sit in the town at the cost of [-]% of the shares.

Now the demon soldiers are here.

Also came the tax order.

Sixty percent, a full sixty percent of the commercial tax.

After such a deal, the Narcissus Town that it has worked so hard to build can no longer be used as a part-time job for people.

"A smart guy."

"Unfortunately not smart enough."

"What does he think I am, a robber?"

Inside the box.

Looking at Mr. Crab who retreated, Zhang Heng played with the little tiger's two little paws, and whispered: "Thirty percent, I still take the lead, I really think of us as robbers, who are we, we are Wang Fa, this little one The demon is so bold, it treats us as bandits who are not of the same rank, bandits are illegal, and we are the law."

of course.

In fact, Zhang Heng also knew.

Boss Crab's so-called dry stock will not be given to him alone.

For example, in front of Zhang Heng, he kept praising him as a good old Mrs. Shushan. During the festivals, he had to be filial no matter what.

Left and right.

Zhang Heng guessed that in Boss Xie's original plan, he would probably give [-]% of the shares and half of the income.

It's just that this guy is legally illiterate.

I don't understand what paying taxes is a basic obligation of citizens.

But yes.

Demons are used to being raised in the wild, so they are not educated.

They actually naively think that the land that their ancestors have lived for tens of thousands of years is their own.

Simply simply.

at the same time.

The basement floor of Narcissus House.

Boiler Room.

"Is it human?"

"I can't be sure, his words and deeds look quite similar, and Boss Xie seems to be afraid of him, the kind who respects and fears him at the same time."

"It's better not to gamble. The big monster who came last time looked like a kind old lady. Li Li almost went to ask for help, but the old lady only took one bite, and made a horrible-looking one. The monster called Lord Mandrill was eaten."

"Is it okay not to gamble? The mission requires us to survive in the demon town for 83 days and collect detailed information about this world. It's only been a week, and three of us died. How will we spend the next [-] days? Cover up Talismans are not omnipotent, if we don't plan well, we will be exposed sooner or later."

"That can't be helped, who made us unlucky."

"The horror game has come to our world, and a few of us have been selected as players to carry out the horror mission and broadcast it live to people all over the world."

"Didn't the experts say that the so-called horror game may have been created by a dimensional demon god of fear, the purpose is to let us spread fear."

"In addition, the worlds selected by the horror game are all problematic worlds suffering from diseases, and are more or less on the brink of destruction, and in it, there may also be ways for us to defeat the dimension demon and save our homeland , there is still hope.”

silence.

Thinking of the billions of people who are forced to watch the horror live broadcast every day, and are shrouded in despair and fear all the time, including their relatives, a few of them hate the legendary Dimensional Demon God to the bone.

Unfortunately.

The thriller game has been around for three years.

So far, the Blue Stars have not found a way to defeat the Demon God or save their homeland.

of course.

It's not that no one chooses to be bad.

But horror games are very good at picking people, and most of them choose those who have a deep bond with family, relatives, or family, country, as players.

For the sake of their loved ones, everyone tried their best to prevent the horror scene from being realized in their own country.

Said it was bad.

The poor ones are a minority.

Because in life, you can't love nothing, even if you love yourself.

If you don't love others, you don't love yourself.

This is major depressive disorder.

The dose must be increased.

"Everyone, the Dimensional Demon God is like a fly that doesn't bite seamless eggs."

"And there may be something wrong with this world, that's why we are here. Moreover, this is a world with monsters, maybe there will be gods."

"This is our chance. For three years, for three full years, we are never afraid of death. Why should you and I be afraid to give it a go?"

A stern young man inspired everyone.

Hear this.

The remaining six people nodded one after another, and one of them was even more crafty, bowed ninety degrees, and said loudly: "Your Excellency Chen Zhen, you are indeed Huo Yuanjia, the disciple of Huo Daxia. I hope we can work together like the last mission. Difficulty."
