"Yes."

"Okay, okay, the more powerful you are, the greater the monk's hope for rebirth. Haha, Monk Tian Bujue, it's not in vain that the monk devoted the first half of his life to benefiting the common people... Hey, it's strange, the energy absorbed by the energy stone is related to the violent murderous aura.

What's the relationship? Besides, you don't have any superpowers, any ability to absorb energy from energy stones?" Shi Danling asked.

"I don't know, I just feel the ocean-like super power inside the energy stone, and I also feel the violent aura of Red Bull inside the energy stone."

"Can you feel the breath of the monster inside the energy stone?" Shi Danling's voice was trembling.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay... By the way, why are you asking about the Dark Forest?" Shi Dan changed the topic.

"I want to go into the dark forest to practice."

"Well, the Dark Forest is a good place for training, and there are free energy stones. However, that place is full of dangers. Many high-level monsters live in it. They are very powerful. You must be careful when entering, otherwise, you will easily lose your life.

Yes, the monk’s life is still counting on you.”

"Do you know the details of the Dark Forest?" Zhou Sen asked.

"I know something. When the monk was young, he went there and practiced for about two years."

"Talk about it."

"Well, there are various legends about the Dark Forest, but among them, there is one legend that is the most authoritative. The Dark Forest is an ancient battlefield."

"Battlefield! I heard that the Dark Forest is boundless and covers millions of square kilometers. How can a battlefield be so big?" Zhou Sen looked shocked.

"The battlefield where gods and demons fight." Shi Dan led the way.

"War between gods and demons?" Zhou Sen did not take it seriously. After all, most of the folk myths and legends were exaggerated.

"Of course, some ancient books describe that this place was once the battlefield of the war between gods and demons. At that time, the gods won a great victory, the demon soldiers were defeated like mountains, and countless demons of all sizes were killed, leaving behind countless

Monster mounts, the number of these mounts was too large, so God placed a ban on the battlefield so that the monsters could not escape from this area and cause harm to the mortal world. Then, the monsters stayed in this land to breed,

Because the monsters were so powerful that humans could not settle there. Over time, this area became a vast forest. And the monsters that multiplied through thousands of years of reproduction and evolution began to become more and more powerful, and their types became more and more diverse.

The richer. Well, remember, there are also a small number of spiritual beasts in the Dark Forest. They should be those left by the gods in the world..."

"Are those restrictions still in effect?" Zhou Sen asked curiously.

"Of course, if it weren't for those ancient prohibitions, monsters would have been rampant in the human world long ago, and the entire human world would have become a paradise for monsters."

"What are the characteristics of those prohibitions?"

"Obviously, in addition to being unable to leave the dark forest, the monsters' power will also be suppressed. The monsters' abilities are also suppressed to a very low level. Otherwise, human superpowers would not be those high-level monsters at all.

The opponent, the Red Bull you mentioned, has reached the level of an advanced third-level superpower user, but if fighting alone, a mid-level superpower user can also kill Red Bull."

"I see."

"Not only that, the ban in the Dark Forest not only suppresses monsters, but is also effective against people with super powers. In the Dark Forest, people with super powers will not easily fly with swords."

"Why?"

"Because flying with a sword in the Dark Forest requires more than ten times the physical strength and superpowers of normal times. Currently, even the most powerful superpowers in the Han Empire cannot fly through the Dark Forest with a sword."

"More than ten times!" Zhou Sen suddenly realized. No wonder some superpowers gathered in Wuchao City.

"Yes, ten times. Think about it, if Yu Jianfeng was already exhausted when he entered the Dark Forest, then why did he enter the Dark Forest? Go and die!"

"Yes." Zhou Sen nodded repeatedly and asked, "What is the difference between the spiritual beast energy stone and the demonic beast energy stone?"

"The difference is huge. If the energy stones are of the same level, the spirit beast energy stones are easier to absorb than the demon beast energy stones. Therefore, the spirit beast energy stones are more popular in the world of cultivators. However, the spirit beast energy stones of the Gods and Demons Continent are not the same.

There aren’t many, so ordinary superpowers don’t know the difference between spiritual beast energy stones and monster beast energy stones.”

"clear."

Now, Zhou Sen finally understood why the superpower was willing to exchange with him.

"Brother doesn't understand." Shi Danling sighed.

"Um?"

"Gods and demons are of the same level. The energy stones produced by divine beasts and monster beasts should have the same effect. Why are the energy stones of monster beasts so different?"

"It's very simple, because humans are descendants of gods and can more easily absorb the energy stones of divine beasts."

"What about the descendants of the devil?" Zhou Sen disagreed, because he was a scientist, and he had personally seen countless gods imprisoned on that mysterious spaceship, and even made into specimens.

"I don't know, maybe, they are hidden among humans, like you, big brother."

"Well, I think you, monk, are the descendants of the devil. In order to survive, you actually encouraged me to kill people with super powers."

"Ah... It's a sin, a sin... In order to survive, a poor monk should become a demon. It's better than being buried in the ground and never being reincarnated forever. Amitabha..." Shi Danling kept reciting scriptures.

"..."

Zhou Sen could only be speechless. Now, he could no longer associate a noble monk with a noble character and the current monk who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Brother, when you go to the Dark Forest, don't go into danger alone. It's best to form a group or hire a team of mercenaries."

"Why?"

"The most dangerous thing in the dark forest is not the monsters, but humans. If you enter alone without outside help, the possibility of coming out alive is slim."

"Remember."

…

Zhou Sen meditated and rested for a while. It was already afternoon when three businessmen came to find him.

The four of them had a late lunch, then hired a carriage and returned to Wuchao City without stopping.

Returning to Wuchao City, the four of them rested for the night. The next day, they immediately looked for a shop location. According to Zhou Sen's request, in order to save money, the shop does not need to be in a busy street, but the place must be open.

Soon, the four of them found a suitable place.

The old government office in Wuchao City.

As early as decades ago, the government office in Wuchao City was abandoned because Wuchao City was merged into military control, the original county government office was abolished, and the house has been vacant, becoming dilapidated, deserted, and overgrown with weeds.

Judging from the size of the street, the area around the old county government should have been extremely prosperous. Perhaps after the county government was abolished, this street gradually declined.

However, when acquiring the old county government, we encountered resistance.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the old county government belongs to the state property. If it wants to be sold, it must be listed for sale by the official functional department. However, Wuchao City was included in the scope of military control after a war decades ago and has never been sold.

If it is lifted, there will be no administrative department at all.

In the end, Zhou Sen had to ask for help from the Lu family.

Zhou Sen and the three businessmen returned to the Lu family and received warm hospitality. Not only Lu Maomao and Hanyu entertained them grandly, but Master Lu also personally accompanied them.

Mr. Lu is very happy to help Zhou Sen, because now Mr. Lu, the kitten, is no different from a normal person. This is entirely due to Zhou Sen's promotion of this marriage.

The Lu family is indeed one of the largest families in Wuchao City, and its influence is unparalleled. It was originally an impossible thing, but finally got through all the joints, adopted the form of leasing, and signed a fifty-year contract with the military, and

, the rent is shockingly low.

After the contract is signed, a major event has been completed. The rest is much simpler. All we need to do is repair and renovate the county government office and add some accessories. It is expected to be ready for trial operation in two months.

It took nine days to get this thing done, but Zhou Sen only operated behind the scenes and did not come forward.

Zhou Sen knew very well that if his identity was exposed, it would definitely affect the future development of the shop. After all, the Gu family was eyeing him.

When dealing with the lease of the old county government, Zhou Sen and the businessman surnamed Xu disposed of all the energy stones. The price far exceeded their expectations. The energy stones that were originally priced at 7 million imperial coins were sold for 9 million in the end.

A sky-high price of one million.

After selling the energy stone, Zhou Sen added the extra two million and kept the shares unchanged. This made the three businessmen ecstatic and at the same time shouted that they had been cheated. They regretted that they had acted too hastily and did not raise the price. Zhou Sen comforted them.

After that, I gave up.

By selling this batch of energy stones, the businessman surnamed Xu has opened up several channels for selling energy stones, which is very beneficial to the store's future business.

Now, after deducting the rental fee of 200,000 imperial coins for the shop, the total funds have reached 14.8 million imperial coins. It is estimated that the repair of the county government office will cost 1.8 million imperial coins, and the working capital is as high as 13 million.

, this fund is already quite sufficient for a new store.

At the same time, the three businessmen promised many times that if the business is good, they will never let Zhou Sen suffer a loss. Once funds are in short supply, they will invest more in proportion to the actual funds.

It is worth mentioning that after Hanyu learned about the store, he also invested 1 million of his private money in the shares. Considering the influence of the Lu family in Wuchao City and the relationship between Hanyu and Zhou Sen, the three businessmen each

He gave up one-third of one share and collected enough shares for Hanyu. Everyone was happy.

The shop had a majestic name.

The name was given by Hanyu.

Spark Trading Company.

Everyone is very satisfied with this name because it indicates a prosperous business.

Zhou Sen didn't care, since Hanyu had chosen a name, he would just follow her.

After making preparations for Spark Trading Company, Zhou Sen decided to enter the Dark Forest.

Recently, Zhou Sen has been absorbing the energy of the monster energy stone every day. The two super powers have become more and more active and powerful. He has to endure the torture of killing every day. However, Zhou Sen still cannot control the super powers. At present,

, Zhou Sen can only control his superpowers when absorbing the energy of the best energy stones from monsters.
