Chapter 17 Fishing the Corpse River

Two options stay in the center of the screen.

To learn or not to learn.

Shi Xin stroked his hand.

The human book is the treasure and the faceless grave is the territory, both of which are called fragments.

So, the so-called learning of mental methods is actually collecting the creations of Queen Earth?
[You have learned: Netherworld Mind Technique, stage result 0.1. 】

[Stage decryption: Empress Houtu possesses the most precious human book, which is an indispensable existence for the master of the Netherworld. 】

Gone?

Shi Xin was speechless, what's the difference between you saying nothing and not saying anything?
[The despicable wasteland people sincerely believe in the Houtu Empress. An Gan has the idea of ​​​​colluding and rebelling?Therefore, I wish to devote myself to practicing Netherworld and not touch other mental methods. 】

What do you mean?
She read it twice before she dared to understand that if he chose to take the road of becoming a god by Queen Tu, who was in charge of the Netherworld, he could only focus on collecting the creations of Queen Tu.

The path to godhood for other waste lords has nothing to do with you, and don’t even think about the fragments. Once collected, they can only be used as treasures and cannot unlock the stage results belonging to other waste lords.

Why don't you warn me about such a big thing earlier!Who can say for sure what will happen next?

There are many fragments of Houtu Empress collected now, but what if we can no longer collect them in the future?
Shi Xin sighed.

Forget it, although I don't know whether it is right or wrong to choose to practice Netherworld at this moment, but since I have chosen, let's go on at any cost.

The exploration of [Faceless Tomb] ends here, you can go to the new map [Corpse River] to have a look.

[You have triggered the eye of the corpse river. 】

[Laoxi River: There is a clear river flowing in the cracks around the mountains. There are dozens of houses on both sides of the river bank. There is no bridge. Whether it is outsiders or villagers, every time someone wants to go to the other side, they need to take a boat to ferry them. Every year because of When the river fogged up, countless people fell into the water and lost their lives. Over time, the industry of corpse harvesters emerged, and the river was also called the Corpse Rescue River. 】

A picture that doesn't sound very auspicious.

[You have entered the river of corpse fishing. 】

[The Laoshi River is cold and cold all year round. A small boat comes staggeringly and stops not far away. The boatman waves to you and asks if you have crossed the bank. 】

[If you want to go to the other side, you must take a ferry. Yes\No\get off the boat. 】

Disembarkation is also one of the options, with three options given at once.

It's weird to get off the ship before you get on the ship.

[You want to go to the shore, the boatman shows you three fingers, you choose to give...]

[1 Incense, 2 Incense. 】

Shi Xin thought, considering the game's peeing nature, the boatman must not be a good guy. If he only gives 1 incense, he will be thrown into the river, right?

[You choose to give 2 incense, and the boatman will dock the boat and pick you up. 】

[You leaned relaxedly in the tent, the small table was burning with faint fragrance, and suddenly you heard the crisp chirping of birds above your head. It was very hypnotic, and you fell asleep without realizing it...]

[When you woke up again, you were tied to the stern of the boat, unable to move. The boatman took out the hatchet hidden on the side from the oar and stabbed you to death. 】

[He threw you into the water, and before you were completely submerged, you heard him say: If you are so generous, your family must be very rich. You can make another fortune by fishing out the body and waiting for someone to redeem it. 】

【you are dead. 】

Hiss... black!So dark!
The boatman is the one who collects corpses, and the one who gives 1 incense is a poor man. He only takes the money to cross the river. The one who gives 2 incense is killed to earn the money for collecting corpses. You are clearly using a human life. As expected of you!
[You wake up and are fishing for corpses in the river. 】

[You want to go to the shore, the boatman shows you three fingers, you choose to give...]

[You have given me 1 piece of incense. The boatman said, "Poor man, I will pick you up on the boat." 】

Is everything going to be okay this time?
[You were so scared along the way that you didn't even get into the boat's awning. The boatman couldn't find a chance to make a move, so he had to let you go. ] Huh...it's okay.

[Halfway through the journey, another deserter wanted to cross the shore. The boatman picked him up and he paid the boatman 1 incense. 】

[Are you going to get off the boat halfway? 】

This text was very strange, but Shi Xin thought that the second guest was also 1 incense, which would not trigger the boatman to retrieve the body and wait for redemption, so he did not get off the boat.

[The deserter is on board, and the supervisor's death card is about to be used. Do you want to punish the "Beast Trapper" who leads the way? 】

[Note: Although you, as the Deputy Supervisor and Killer, are not within the search range of the Death Card, your name will still be exposed when initiating punishment. 】

Trapper?
Such a familiar name. Isn't this the one who died in Bone Digging Town when the Supervisor had a fire last time?
However, some blessing talents are unique and some are not, and she is not sure that these two are the same person.

Shi Xin did not initiate punishment, she just wanted to cross the river safely.

[The boat was moving slowly, and the guide "Carrion Catcher" sat in the tent, smoke was curling up. He was unconscious. The boatman took out a bird whistle from the side of the oar and blew it. The carrion crows above his head immediately surrounded him, and there was a heavy black crowd. A group of them will peck you and the "trappers" to death and have a feast. 】

[When you were dying and being thrown into the water, you heard the boatman say: 2 Incense transports two people, what a big loss!You need at least 4 incense sticks! 】

【you are dead. 】

No, brother, if there are more people, we should charge more?How many people can we carry on a trip?
The incense she collected in Gugu Town these days, plus the bits and pieces she saved, totaled more than 300. Wouldn't you just clearly mark the price?

Do you think she can't be taken advantage of?Who do you look down on?
There are still 8 times of physical exhaustion today. Just when Shichi decided to fight hard, Huang Lin sent a message asking her about the tennis selection list.

"Isn't everything settled?" she said.

"It's been decided, but there are a few women who insist on participating. It's not enough to give them substitutes. They must start." Huang Lin said.

In fact, this kind of thing has happened several times in elite school sports leagues.

You can dress beautifully when playing tennis, and you can show off your figure without being as tired as sprinting. It is easy to manage your expressions, and if you are talented, your performance will improve quickly. It is very suitable for ladies of your family to participate when they need to change their image and inject vitality.

Just last year, there were rumors that in order to gain publicity, a wealthy daughter paid off-campus gangsters to intimidate the players on the starting lineup, causing the players to withdraw and the daughter to be the substitute as the starter.

Shi Xin thought about his talent, weighed it and said again and again: "How much money are they prepared to pay?"

Huang Lin: "?"

This guy actually asked and sent a number after a while.

"One hundred thousand."

Sky-high price!It’s a sky-high price!

A spot that needs to be selected is sold at such a high price. How much does it cost to be a starter if he really wants to enter the league?

There are tricks.

Shi Xin had a vague premonition and asked who those women were.
Huang Lin quickly answered: "Liu Qianqian, Chen Man, Zhang Ningzhi."

"Do they know the rules of this trial? Substitutes can directly enter the league as substitutes, but competing for the starting spot in the trials requires fierce elimination. If you are eliminated, you can't even be a substitute."

"They know."

Shi Xin touched his chin and agreed.

"Put the money into my account and let them do it."

"But there are enough people to select. With three people competing for a starting position, someone has to be given up before we can add someone. We have to cross out someone who is originally from the tennis club and can directly become a starter without selecting."

"I know, so cross me out."
