Chapter 25: The pawnshop opens]
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the task reward settlement is completed."
"You have completed the first task of the Pawning Journey to the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, and passed the most basic test. The pawning system has been officially opened. The pawning shop in the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms is loading..."
"You have obtained the talented skill: Entering a dream. Skill introduction: From passive to active, from now on, you can freely enter the dreams of the plot characters and trade with them. Special statement: Pawn shops are not good halls. If the rewards you charge in the transaction cannot match the resources you pay, then you will bear the corresponding losses and terrifying punishment. I hope you do not challenge the bottom line of pawning."
"Because the first task of each pawn master is a system test, the reward will be collected after the task is completed. But from then on, please collect the reward in advance to ensure that no accidents occur."
"The system will not recognize all decisions made by the host that are harmful to the interests of the pawnshop. Please confirm the reward for this task from the following options. 1: Li Mochou's soul. 2: Hong Lingbo's soul. 3: Li Mochou's lifelong skills. The system recommends that the host choose the first one, which is the largest profit, which is conducive to future performance evaluation."
"The pawn pawnshops in all heavens and all worlds are loaded successfully, and they will follow your wishes. You can turn them on at any time..."
When the first mission of the journey to the heavens and all worlds was completed, a series of news completely submerged Su Jin like a tide of anger, making him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Open the pawn shop..." After a long time, Su Jin's consciousness gradually returned to his body and said silently in his heart.
Silently, the time around him quickly rotated and twisted, as if he had traveled through layers of time and space, and he came to an extremely strange place.
Above his head was a huge blood moon, and in front of him was a counter with unknown length at both ends, which divided the entire world into two halves. He was on this end, and there was a chair opposite the other end, which seemed to be prepared for the guests.
In the void behind him, books with holy light were floating out of nowhere, treasures that suppressed the heavens, pills that looked like extraordinary... densely packed, like commodities.
He lowered his head and glanced at himself. He saw that he was wearing a dark gold silk robe embroidered with copper coins. There were four big words written on the copper coins on his chest: Pawn as a sentient being!
And behind what he couldn't see, there were five characters embroidered with demonic light: Nine out and thirteen return.
"Please confirm the reward for this mission!" The system's voice sounded in his ears again. Li Mochou's body phantom, Hong Lingbo's body phantom appeared in the void outside the counter at the same time.
Su Jin was silent for a moment, reached out and touched the brocade robe that was better than any silk. Suddenly he understood why the previous pawnshop owner was so excited after he escaped.
To put it bluntly, this pawn shop is not the kind of system in the novel that can assist the protagonist in the growth, but... a demon who eats people and does not spit bones.
If the customer cannot be fed as blood food, will it swallow itself alive?
"Please confirm the reward for this mission." The system said in his ears tirelessly, like a death-hunting note.
"I choose the third one." Su Jin said expressionlessly after closing his eyes.
"Swish!"
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel a light exploding in front of the counter...
"Female Devil, I'll kill you!" Outside, a girl with a melon-shaped face, big eyes, and a sloping foot in her goose yellow clothes was bursting into tears. She held a dagger in her hand and rushed towards Li Mochou desperately.
"Wushuang, come back, you are no match for this female devil!" The old woman shouted loudly in the crowd.
Li Mochou looked at this little girl who was ignorant of the world.
She was sure that as long as she raised her palm, she could slap the other person to death.
However, just as she was about to raise her hand, something strange happened suddenly. She was as if she had been lit into the acupoint, and her body stiffened in place. She could only look at the dead girl holding a dagger and stabbing her dantian hard.
Li Mochou was shocked.
The people in Lujiazhuang were also shocked.
Even Xiaolongnu and the others stayed there.
The only one who remains calm is Su Jin.
"Damn it!" Hong Lingbo was furious, flew up, kicked Lu Wushuang away, and took Li Mochou, who was stabbed in his lower abdomen, into his arms.
"Take her away." Su Jin pursed her lips and said lightly: "The true energy spreads along the wound. Her martial arts have been destroyed and she will no longer be suitable for the world in the future."
Hong Lingbo was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.
Li Mochou was held in her arms, and his eyelids suddenly became extremely heavy. The last scene saw the scene: the mysterious guy pulled Xiaolongnu and boarded the quaint and weird carriage again...
"A grievance!" Zhou Botong shook his head and took two apprentices to catch up with the carriage: "Hey, boy, where are we going next?"
"Why are we?" Su Jin asked in confusion in the carriage: "Senior and we are two people. You can go wherever you want."
"Stop talking nonsense. Both of our apprentices have become your subordinates. Where can I go, the lonely old man? No one will collect the body when I die outside." Zhou Botong said.
"It's a matter here. When we go back to Mount Zhongnan, there is another task that we need to complete." Su Jin said with ease.
Yang Guo drove the carriage, the carriage broke through the morning light and night, and rushed to Zhongnan Mountain with a group of strong men.
Halfway through, Su Jin's brow was always locked. He was about to enter the Zhongnan Mountain Realm, and finally made up his mind to use his talented skill on Xiaolongnu who was sleeping: Entering a Dream.
In Xiaolongnu's memory, she rarely dreams, and usually just sleeps until she wakes up naturally.
But this time, when she appeared in an extremely strange place for no reason, she knew very well that she was dreaming, an absurd and extremely realistic dream.
"Please sit."
A voice suddenly resounded in her ears. She looked at her and saw a figure whose body was hidden in the black fog facing her, making an invitation.
"Who are you?" Xiaolongnu asked instead of walking over and sitting down.
She heard that there was a magic skill in the ancient Western Regions that could kill people in dreams, and she was not sure whether she had encountered such a trick.
"I am the owner of the pawn shop in the heavens and all worlds. You can call me... the shopkeeper!" Su Jin said.
"Shopkeeper...what do you want to do?" Xiaolongnu secretly mobilized the true energy in her body and asked in a deep voice.
"You have inherited the last wish of the master and want to defeat the Quanzhen Sect, right?" Su Jin said.
"You even know this?" Xiaolongnu was extremely surprised, and her emotions fluctuated significantly.
Su Jin said: "Of course I know, not only I know this, but I can also help you complete it. Of course, the premise is that you have to pay something."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I need it, someone will do it for me."
"The person you are talking about is Su Jin?"
Xiaolongnu's heart trembled: "Do you know Su Jin?"
"Of course I know, because Su Jin is one of our pawn shops. Otherwise, why would you think he knows so many things? Let me tell you a secret. If Su Jin helps you complete the task, then he will leave you, or even leave this world!"
Xiaolongnu was stunned.
She didn't want to believe what this weird person said.
But deep down, there seemed to be a constant voice telling her that what this person said was true.
"What do you want?" Xiaolongnu asked after being silent for a long time.
"It depends on what you are willing to give to your wish..."
Xiaolongnu looked at him deeply: "I decided...to give up the ancestor's last wish."
"What?" Su Jin was stunned after the fog. At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his ears: "Because the customer unilaterally suspended the transaction, the pawnshop had bad debts. Please ask the host to confirm the customer's new wish again, otherwise the customer would have to forcibly collect liquidated damages."
"This fucking overlord treaty!" Su Jin cursed with an ugly face, raised his eyes and said to Xiaolongnu: "The pawn shops in the heavens and all worlds meet the customers' strong wishes and come across endless time and space. This is equivalent to signing a contract. If you have no new wishes to be fulfilled, then we will also charge you a certain amount of reward as a penalty for liquidated damages."
Xiaolongnu pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I want to be with Su Jin for generations."
Chapter completed!
