Thriller copy beating workers

People cried, shouted, begged, chased, staggered and fell into the mud...

After all, they failed to catch up with Shu Xin, and eventually the man disappeared into the vast night and into the increasingly dense rain curtain.

Until Shu Xin walked on the muddy path that had not yet dried and ran out of the town, leaving behind both the rain and the oppressive fog, Su Su's faint reminder sounded in her mind:
[Just now...it was so dangerous. 】

Shu Xin had been running for an hour or two. Even though her body had been strengthened, she felt a little tired now.

His body was soaked by the rain, the rough fabric clung to his skin, his trouser legs were covered in mud, and his cowhide boots were thickly covered in mud.

The whole person can be described as extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, she is not as irritable as when she first came here, but still feels inexplicably excited.

She looked up at the completely clear sky, and there seemed to be a faint glow of dawn shining on the horizon in the distance.

She took off the cloak and hat on her head and responded to Su Su with approval: "Yes, if I had run slower just now, I would have been held back by those people."

Those people were really crazy, but if she were in their shoes, her life was at stake, and if there was a strong person who could protect her, she probably wouldn't be more reserved than those people.

Su Su's voice transmission: [That's not what I'm talking about, but that you were lucky not to have established too deep a bond with them before. 】

"Too deep a bond? What do you mean?"

[Now I roughly understand why the guardians who came to the ghost town before were unable to leave in the end? 】

Shu Xin had always wanted to know this question, so she followed up with a question.

[Because, regardless of whether they intend to stay or not, as long as they actually establish a bond with the town, the power will be infinitely amplified, affecting the employees in all aspects, both mentally and physically. 】

Shu Xin frowned slightly, "You mean, the residents of the town deliberately let young, beautiful and handsome girls and boys provide services for... the guardians?"

Susu: [This is just the most basic and radical way. Of course, it may be easier for female guardians to lose their bonds.I'm talking about all aspects of interaction.For example, when you first arrived at the tavern, when the tavern owner discovered your bounty hunter, he offered to do it for free.And later on, people show kindness to you, take the initiative to help you repair the hut, give you things... In fact, they don't need you to repay these, material rewards.Generally speaking, as a guardian who has just arrived, he wants to integrate into a place, interact more with the locals, and accept their kindness. But once they are involved in this relationship, they have little time to hunt and sell money. I think they are more interested in hunting and selling. Most of the time, prey is given back to these people as gifts. Although both are gifts, giving back and paying off debts are still different. If you directly exchange the prey for silver coins, you will essentially draw a clear line with them. 】

Shu Xin was a little scared when she thought about her previous interaction with the tavern proprietress.The guilt she felt when she escaped before may have something to do with this, but it wasn't too deep.

She asked: "Looking at the people in the town, it is obvious that they also know that they need to establish a deeper bond with the guardian, so they also know that they need to use things or even their bodies to win over each other. If this is the case, then why did I give them silver coins? Will they accept it?"

In Shu Xin's understanding, as long as I don't accept it, you will always be in debt to me.

Susu also understood what the little host was thinking, [In the rules, since one party firmly gives money of equal value and it is considered a transaction, then it is a transaction. 】

Shu Xin finally understood it completely, and felt a little bit lucky for no reason at this moment.

If she had accepted materials and help from the residents of the town and did not give them silver coins, or if she had not had time to go hunting to exchange money, then when she faced those people's attempts to stay, she was not "almost" staying. But the rules will definitely amplify her inner guilt and sense of responsibility infinitely, so she can stay.

…………

The Hunter Guild has a branch station in Horton City, which is the closest place to here.

With a distance of hundreds of miles, Shu Xin originally wanted to borrow a horse instead of throwing ham, but the situation was so tight that she could only use her own feet to measure the mileage.

Fortunately, her speed and endurance are now far beyond ordinary people, and she can run faster than a carriage at full speed.After running and resting for a while, two days later, she saw a towering city wall standing on the horizon.

finally reached.

Shu Xin couldn't help but think of the ghost town, wondering what the situation was like there.

"Before I came to this world, the world was functioning. If I leave, won't the world stop functioning?"

Shu Xin shook her head. She didn't want to be bound by events and get tired of doing one thing after another. She wanted to complete the tasks at her own pace.

Shu Xin used her points to directly repair her tired body. An hour later, in the afterglow of dusk, she stepped into this unfamiliar city just before the heavy city gate was about to close.

[Ding, a new map was discovered.The ghost town map area has been expanded.The difficulty of the copy is upgraded...The minimum number of ghosts to hunt: 10...]

Shu Xin was confused by the sudden reminder of the rules in her mind. The boss of the stall in front of her asked impatiently: "Hey, 25 silver coins..."

Shu Xin came to her senses, took out a handful of silver coins from her pocket and handed it to the other party, then put a paper package containing five pieces of baked naan into the package.

Then he went to another small shop that was about to close and ordered a local specialty batter mixed with minced meat and various vegetables. He scraped a big lump directly from the pot with a flat spatula and smashed it on the plate, rudely. Throw it on the table in front of Shu Xin.

The clerk looked very unhappy. If there had been no such customer, he would have closed the shop and gone home.

It was because of this person that he had to extend his working hours.

If the other person hadn't been staring at him, he would have wanted to add more ingredients to the other person's food.

Shu Xin's reaction to the waiter was not surprising. In fact, in the original world, Shu Xin rarely went to restaurants during get off work hours. It might be better if she met the boss and cooked it in person, but some waiters really couldn't hold themselves too high. Expected value.

Shu Xin ate big mouthfuls of food. The food was almost completely cold, tasted bland, and had a strong oily smell.

But now that I'm on a business trip, I need to fill my stomach first, and don't pay attention to the color, flavor, and so on.

In just two or three minutes, she finished a large portion of food.

Five silver coins each, Shu Xin took out twenty and handed them to the waiter, saying, "Please pack two more for me, and I'll tip you the rest."

The waiter had an ugly expression on his face because this customer seemed to be making another request, and he was about to lose face. After seeing the few extra silver coins, all the tensions instantly eased. He skillfully used a flexible leaf to roll He made a funnel shape, then scooped all the remaining paste in the pot into it, wrapped it roughly and handed it to Shu Xin.

"Give……"

"Thank you. By the way, do you know how to get to the Hunter Guild?"

The waiter raised the spatula in his hand and pointed in one direction, then ignored it.

He had to put all these things together as soon as possible before he could really call it a day and go home.

For him who earns a monthly salary, no matter how much overtime he works, there is no compensation, and it seems that the city is not very safe these days.

Fortunately, today's customer is not too annoying. Although he is asked to work an extra half hour, the extra five silver coins is equivalent to half a day's salary, which is not bad.
