Chapter 223 New Features [Devil's Contract] (2nd Update)

Chapter 223 New Feature - [Devil Contract] (Second update)

When Chen Ye returned to Xijiang Pier, it was already midnight.

At this time, the crimson moonlight shone peacefully, and the entire pedestrian street seemed to be shrouded in thick blood mist.

In the sky……

Occasionally, I can see floating gray mist air masses, wandering here, wandering between the two worlds.

"Sure enough, this paradise is not as simple as imagined, and the spirituality is very active."

Chen Ye had just returned to the pedestrian street, and his eyes moved slightly when he sensed the active spirit world atmosphere nearby.

When passing by the old city, his vision kept looking in, and he found that there was a dark light of blood, condensed in the depths, surging silently.

At the same time, Chen Ye also discovered a noteworthy sign.

Although the pollution is over and the park has returned to normal, most of the activities are players.

Logically speaking, there should be many aborigines here...

Chen Ye has not forgotten that on that night, the pedestrian street was full of spooks.

But since that night, the traffic seemed to have receded from the peak to the trough, and most of the people who came out for activities were players or penniless wanderers.

As for those middle-class aborigines, they are rarely encountered anymore.

Along the road shrouded in white mist, Chen Ye passed under the bridge of Longhua Avenue, passed through the familiar alleys of Xining, and along the old street, arrived at the entrance of Yong'an Market.

However, Chen Ye was stunned by the scene that appeared in front of him.

Under the crimson moonlight, what was originally the entrance to Yongan Market turned into a stone wall!

That's right!

Yongan Market has disappeared!

"What's going on?" Chen Ye frowned slightly and looked around with his eyes of luck.

In this white mist, which symbolizes ordinary numbers, there are occasional gray lights.

But it doesn't mean anything...

Next to the stone wall, there seemed to be a sealed alley dead end, and even the original signboard had disappeared.

Could it be said that Yongan Market has really been closed?

"Young man, do you want to go into the market to buy something?"

Suddenly, a hoarse and low voice, but still ethereal and illusory, sounded from behind Chen Ye.

Chen Ye turned around suddenly.

He saw a skinny old man sitting cross-legged on the ground only a dozen meters away from him. He covered his eyes and lowered his head, like a blind man, but his eyes fell on the stall in front of him.

There are various strange and ancient objects on it, some are pipes, some are rubber bands, and some are grim bones...

The crimson moonlight shone faintly on the side of his face, as if he suddenly appeared from the blood mist.

During the whole process, not a single sound was made.

Chen Ye frowned slightly. He remembered that on the way here, he did not see this place with such a stall and such an old man sitting there.

He didn't know it, and appeared behind him quietly.

at the same time……

On the old man's head, a simple line of blood-colored text appeared -

【Wandering Merchant】

Four simple words introduced the identity of this old man.

"Wandering businessman? Is this also the profession of a wanderer?" Chen Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, his expression became focused.

Not like ordinary homeless people.

[Wandering Merchant] is a second-level profession that combines one level of [Wanderer] and one level of [Merchant].

I am also a [Wanderer], and although I have reached the third level, at the time of the first level, the characteristics of needing to help each other with the same wandering being will still be retained.

Looking at it with the eyes of luck, the businessman's head has a faint purple aura, and his whole body is surrounded by black and yellow. A glazed star as bright as a star appears from his head.

"Could it be that... what special items can I buy from this businessman?"

Seeing that there was no dangerous halo, Chen Ye stopped for a moment, then walked forward and asked:

"Old uncle, do you know why Yongan Market is not open?"

The old man sat on the stall, sighed, shook his head and said:

"What else could be going on? The business can't continue!"

"Why can't you do it?"

"Well, the food problem is too serious during this time. Most of the people in the market who make money quickly have to sell food ingredients, right? But now there is a problem with all the meat, and everyone's income is not good. In addition to food, who will buy those crappy things? ah?"

"So the business can't continue?"

"Yes."

"Then the market won't be open anymore?"

"have no idea……"

"I do not know what that means?"

"Don't know means don't know."

"..." Chen Ye was speechless for a moment. Do you aborigines all talk like this?

At this time, Chen Ye felt that the old man Erhu had become cute. At least he was speaking in human language. These aboriginals might speak human language in the first few sentences, but they would start talking nonsense after two sentences.

He changed his mind and asked, "I mean, will there be a chance to open the door in the future?"

"When the business is good, I can make my money back."

"How long will it take?"

"Hey, I am an old man who only runs a small business. How can I figure out what those big bosses think?" The old man sneered, "If we have to give a time point, maybe when the food recovers and the economy recovers, everyone If everyone is willing to spend money to buy things, then the market will open. Otherwise, will we keep losing money?”

"It makes sense..." Chen Ye nodded, "So what are you doing here?"

“You can make money by setting up a stall!”

The old man stared at Chen Ye, as if he were looking at a fool, and pointed at the various small objects on the stall:

"Don't you see, these are the products I sell, old man?"

“Why choose to sell here?”

"I originally sold it in the market, but now that the market is closed, I have to sell it at the door."

"Why are you the only one here and other shops don't set up stalls here?"

"Ha!" The old man sneered as if he heard something funny, "There are so many people as miserable as me. Those who can run have already run away, and those who can't run have gone to the hospital. Only those who are not afraid of death I just came back here to set up a stall!”

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Who says you're not afraid?"

"you!"

"I?"

"You said you are not afraid of death so you chose to set up a stall here." Chen Ye suddenly felt that this old man was a bit funny. The first sentence said that people who are not afraid of death set up a stall here, and the second sentence said that he was afraid of death. This is Schrödinger's fear of death. What?

The old man sighed and said: "I am afraid of death, but if I don't do business and have no rice to support myself, I will really die."

Chen Ye fell into deep thought.

According to what the old man said, he should have been a stall vendor at Yong'an Market.

But there has been an unexpected surprise in Yongan Market recently!

The market is closed!

The reason is also very simple. There were previous double pollution incidents of food and water sources.

Therefore, the entire structure of Destiny City was severely impacted.

Including the Lin family, the old lady selling chestnuts... as long as they were capable, almost all of them chose to run away.

But what about Gui who has no strength?

At present, it can be seen that a large number of Gui have become believers of the Lieyang Church and make a living by begging.

Where have some of the middle class gone?

I've been wandering the streets for the past few days and haven't seen them anywhere.

At this moment, after hearing the information about this [Wandering Businessman], all those who haven't run away are now in the hospital?

Because they are contaminated?

Almost all the aborigines in the city have disappeared. Could it be that except for the group that ran away, all the others have been admitted to the hospital?

Can the hospital...can accommodate so many patients?

Chen Ye asked one after another about Yongan Market and where the stalls inside had gone.

The old man waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he didn't know. Finally, he became a little impatient when he was asked, and glared at Chen Ye and said:

"Are you here to cause trouble? I'm just a commoner. How could I know so many complicated things?"

"It's really unlucky. I thought I could get a customer, but I didn't expect that I got a big grudge!"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have talked to you..."

Chen Ye was amused for a while, thinking to himself, it seemed like you were pretending to be mysterious and suddenly spoke, right?

Immediately afterwards...

His eyes moved down and landed on the pavement.

Suddenly, a dazzling glazed light appeared in the field of vision, blooming with a dazzling brilliance among many objects.

Chen Ye's mind moved, and his eyes followed Liuli's guidance and looked at one of the items...

It's actually a contract?

However, the pages of the book were completely black, and the surface seemed to be alive. Looking directly at it, one felt as if one's mind was being sucked into a whirlpool.

"Old man, how do you sell this thing?" Chen Ye pointed at the contract.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that a young man like you is quite discerning!"

The old man swept away the unhappy look on his face and laughed happily:

"This is a contract, but it's not a simple contract!"

"It's a contract to make a deal with the devil!"

"Of course, if it is an ordinary customer, then I will not sell such a precious thing. But as for you... I might consider selling it to you at a higher price."

Chen Ye didn't know what to say for a moment. He almost thought that the other party would say to sell it at a discount, but in the end, he would sell it at a higher price. What does this mean?

At this moment, the contract formed a ray of glazed light, which was actually connected to Chen Ye's mouth.

With a thought, he realized that this contract, which contained a demonic aura, was probably the material needed for the subsequent promotion of [Devil Cooker].

Moreover, fusion can be performed directly!

If you're lucky, you might be able to unlock new features directly!

Chen Ye nodded and said, "I can buy it, but I hope you can give me a reasonable price."

"One gold coin, two hundred silver coins, one hundred thousand copper coins." The old man said, "This is the most reasonable price. There is nothing more reasonable than this."

Since this contract contains the characteristics of a [contract], it is related to some kind of transaction.

As the best special currency for transactions, gold coins can even form some kind of contract with the existence of the other side of the world, so it is most appropriate to use it as the price of exchanging the [contract].

Two hundred silver coins, trading the demonic characteristics contained in the contract itself.

The remaining one hundred thousand copper coins depend on the material of the contract and the value of the item itself.

so.

To trade this contract, you need to use three different currencies, and at least one gold coin is required.

Currently, Chen Ye has thirty-eight gold coins on his person. Since the Yong'an market is not open yet, the other thirty gold coins cannot be used, and the remaining gold coins that can be moved suddenly become abundant.

The key is that we need too many silver coins!

A full two hundred silver coins are needed!

But Chen Ye only has 166 silver coins now, and the number of silver coins is not enough.

Chen Ye paused, considering that one of the most obvious characteristics of [Wandering Merchants] is wandering.

Maybe he sets up a stall here today, but he doesn’t know where he will be tomorrow.

If he misses today, there may be no shop tomorrow!

He can’t wait until he really collects 200 silver coins to trade, right?

Chen Ye asked: "What if I pay two gold coins?"

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, and even his attitude became much better. He hurriedly said:

"Two gold coins, fifty silver coins, and 150,000 copper coins."

"Of course, you can also pay 100 silver coins and 100,000 copper coins, but that is not the most reasonable price."

"If you can give three gold coins, you can get this contract directly!"

Three gold coins... I do have them... but if I really trade like this, I will be a fool!

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Then sell it for two gold coins, fifty silver coins, and 150,000 copper coins."

"Okay."

The old man finally showed the attitude of a businessman, quickly packed the contract, showed a flattering smile, and handed the contract to Chen Ye with both hands.

After the payment was completed, Chen Ye's personal assets became "36 gold coins, 116 silver coins, 1019015 copper coins".

Just then.

A series of bloody words appeared in front of Chen Ye——

[Detection: You have new characteristics to merge! ]

[Fusion! ]

[You have unlocked a new characteristic - Demon Contract! ]

[Demon Contract: When the other party's soul is sold to you sincerely, you can sign this contract. (As the initiator of the demon contract, no matter what terms will be recognized, those who violate the contract will be burned by the soul!)]

…………

At this time, the fifth characteristic appeared in Chen Ye's [Devil Cook] interface!

However...

This characteristic seems to have nothing to do with cooking, and it seems a bit abrupt to become the fifth characteristic...

"[Devil Contract], this should be the sequence to develop towards the moon. Under normal circumstances, [Devil Cook] should not be able to merge..."

Chen Ye frowned, and noticed something unusual based on the previous strategy.

After all, the promotion path of demons is also different.

As a [Devil Cook], with a unique mouthpart structure, it is generally most reasonable to evolve and develop in the direction of "monster".

However, [Devil Contract] is a characteristic of the moon sequence, and the characteristics tend to be fraud, betrayal, illusion, chaos...

If you sign a contract, you need to use the [Moon] path and the characteristics related to psychedelic mental power to unlock the [Devil Contract].

Generally, only the third-level [Devil Fraudster], [Devil Arbitrator]... and other professions related to "contract" can unlock this characteristic.

But the strange thing is...

Chen Ye is currently a second-level [Devil Cook], and the sequence he is taking is basically far away from the promotion path of the [Moon] sequence.

Then why did he unlock the fifth characteristic of [Devil's Contract] directly?

After careful thinking, Chen Ye suddenly realized the reason!

"That's right!"

"The medium required by the devil's contract is actually mental power!"

"If the contractor violates the above terms, he will be burned by the soul!"

"Under normal circumstances..."

"If it is a normal second-level [Devil Cook], there is no way to unlock the ability of the mental system."

"Because the mental system is generally related to [Fierce Sun] and [Moon]. If [Moon] is absorbed, the devil will most likely develop towards the Moon sequence and will not evolve into a cook."

"According to the principle that [Devil] and [Fierce Sun] conflict with each other, the two generally do not coexist, so under normal circumstances, it is difficult for [Devil] to directly absorb this contract."

"But my mental power does not come from either [Fierce Sun] or [Moon], but from spiritual mental power!"

"This also makes my [Devil Cook] completely able to absorb this [Devil Contract] before involving the characteristics of [Moon]..."

"What kind of sequence will it develop in the future, that's unknown..."

Chen Ye couldn't help but stand there in a daze. After figuring out the reason, his face suddenly became strange.

At this moment, his [Devil's Cook] has only absorbed five characteristic items.

If he wants to advance to the third level, there are three more characteristic items to choose from!

In this way, will he have the opportunity to absorb [Moon] and [Monster] at the same time?

Doesn't it mean that when he just advanced to the third level, he has at least four sequences of characteristics and has become a half-step fourth level?

What kind of thing will he raise?

Chen Ye suddenly felt that this game became interesting...

Before he came into contact with [Moon], he successfully integrated the characteristics of [Devil's Contract] through the mental power of the [Soul Crosser] sequence...

This means that his [Devil] sequence may be able to move in an unprecedented direction and break through!

It is very likely that a "Devil" that has never appeared in the Weird Era game will be raised!

What kind of profession will be unlocked...

Then.

Only when you have collected the materials for the next two or three items to advance to the third level [Demon] can you know the result!

The merchant has left.

According to him, only by wandering can you find better customers.

Often you need to go from one place to another in the form of a mobile stall to get good luck.

Therefore, after completing the transaction with Chen Ye, the old man had not even sat down to warm up his butt before he rushed to the future.

Of course...

Only this contract book on the stall is useful to Chen Ye. Other items are not only expensive, but also require gold coins to buy, and are temporarily useless.

Therefore, Chen Ye did not waste the money in his hand.

Since this month's ranking is related to the increase in assets, there may be some troubles that need to be settled with money in the future.

Even if the assets on him are not small compared to ordinary players, they cannot be used indiscriminately.

Only by using every bit of resources reasonably can the snowball roll!

Chen Ye quickly returned to the "Integrity Restaurant".

At this moment...

He suddenly found that a hazy blood-colored outline appeared inside the restaurant!

It was as if there was a figure moving inside!

At the same time...

A bloody text suddenly appeared above the outline of the figure——

[Thieving cat demon! 】
