Chapter 284 A New Profession Integrating the [Pollution] Sequence
[You have completed the time-limited task - destroying the altar of the wilderness]
[Rewarded special item: Wild Territory Stele]
[Wild Territory Stele: Contains a trace of the idea of "wilderness". Carving this stele in the territory will produce unexpected changes. ]
At this moment, the ancient, quiet stele with traces of years and vicissitudes on its surface stands in front of Chen Ye.
A ray of glazed light flows along the inside of the stele, like a bridge made of stars, connecting Chen Ye's luck aura and the glazed contour of a store in the distance.
"If you want to merge this stele, you need to return to the Honesty Restaurant once and merge it with the [Parasitic Deed]..."
Chen Ye deduced the meaning of the image of luck and made a judgment.
To be on the safe side, he first put the stele into the mountain and river volume.
Following the original route, stepping on the bumpy road, holding the jagged stone wall next to it, he turned back in the direction he came from.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly lit up from the depths of the cave.
Accompanied by footsteps getting closer and closer...
Chen Ye realized that someone was approaching this place, and quickly retreated into the darkness and merged into the night.
He hid in a groove behind a stone wall. The space here was small and located at a high place, which was very hidden.
Even if the visitor was carrying a light stone, the light source could not illuminate Chen Ye's position and would not destroy the stealth state.
The footsteps seemed very cautious.
With Chen Ye's keen hearing, he immediately judged that this kind of footsteps was most likely from the players.
I saw several thugs passing by with muskets tied around their waists.
As they walked, they talked, and their tone was slightly panicked.
"Brothers, work harder and guard this place."
"That big shot has said that if you find anything unusual around here, or if there are any suspicious people, you can even get special items that can help you advance to the third level of your profession."
"If you want to be successful, then keep an eye on me!"
After hearing this, the thugs who followed behind him immediately became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
As players, they certainly knew what the promotion items of the third level of profession meant.
Chen Ye was also a little surprised when he heard this.
I worked so hard and finally got the third level items of [Ferryman].
As a result, as long as these thugs can find something unusual, they will have the opportunity to get such a reward?
Isn't it too rich and generous?
But if you think about it carefully, since the existence behind him gave such a huge reward just to find abnormal situations or suspicious people...
Is it because he destroyed the Altar of Desolation and triggered the attention of some existence...
The existence behind him also noticed this matter?
If you think about it carefully, the existence deep in the factory may also cooperate with the existence behind the underground world.
If you think so...
Then, the sudden increase in vigilance of the thugs, could it be related to the completion of the time-limited task?
"It seems that I have to be more cautious in my next actions."
Realizing that the target these thugs are looking for may be himself, Chen Ye is more vigilant.
However, he did not return to the entrance of the underground world immediately, but went to the underground market first.
Under the guidance of the ghost fire...
Chen Ye returned to his shop.
Stepping onto the higher stone steps, on that plane, you can see the shop bar crowded with all kinds of heads at a glance.
Bepsi, whose hair is full of cooking knives, is standing in front of the restaurant bar, preparing food to welcome the huge flow of diners this day.
Seeing Chen Ye coming, Bepsi immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Boss, you are here!"
"Yeah."
Chen Ye nodded, looking around the customer flow of this shop, showing a little satisfaction.
"How much is the revenue today?"
"15,000 copper coins." Bepshi responded respectfully.
"Not bad...it seems that his reputation is getting bigger and bigger...the revenue is higher than last time..."
Chen Ye was quite satisfied with Bepshi's revenue.
However, on second thought, Bepshi's store seemed to have merged with Chen Ye, and the revenue belonged to him.
In theory, shouldn't it be doubled?
Chen Ye thought of this and immediately asked another question.
Bepshi smiled bitterly and said, "The business has been too big recently, and the local snakes have repeatedly come to cause trouble, causing the store's business to decline a bit..."
He added:
"That guy owns three properties in the underground market, and he seems to have some connections in the underground world..."
"On the surface, most residents of the underground world dare not provoke this existence, but there are still many who are unhappy with him behind the scenes."
"If not, the store business will probably be even worse."
Chen Ye frowned slightly.
He said with a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Who is the local snake? Where does he live?"
Bepsi immediately realized what Chen Ye wanted to do, and hurriedly said:
"The local snake is the owner of shops 143, 144, and 145. He usually does not go to the underground market in person. It is said that he has a residence at No. 3 Magic Vine Road in Dark Thorn Garden and often stays there."
Chen Ye glanced at Bepsi coldly and said:
"If this guy comes to cause trouble again, you don't need to be polite. You should understand what I mean."
"Yes, boss!" Bepsi nodded immediately.
In fact, he was waiting for Chen Ye to say this.
He couldn't afford to offend that "local snake", so could he not afford to offend this terrible boss?
As long as he said one word, when this guy comes to cause trouble again in the future, he naturally won't have to be afraid of him anymore.
Chen Ye thought about it and set up several rules directly in this branch.
Specifically for harassment of other shop owners.
After doing all this, Chen Ye left the underground market.
However, he did not immediately go to the Dark Thorn Garden, nor did he leave from the entrance. Instead, he went through the lightless Sea of Dead Corpses and went directly from the Xijiang Wharf to his honest shop.
After all... now there are large-scale thugs guarding the entrance, it is difficult to get in and out.
But he has such a passage.
It is enough to bypass the thugs.
Moreover, with the sailing speed of the "Swinging Ship", it will not be much farther than the land.
It can also avoid many dangers.
Naturally, it became Chen Ye's preferred route.
Back to the Chengxin Restaurant.
At this moment, Chen Ye unexpectedly found a row of people in the restaurant, tied up and lying on the ground.
"Who sent you guys here? Tell me the truth!"
"Otherwise..."
"When our boss comes back, what awaits you... is a fate more terrible than death... Humph!"
Shen Meng wore a cat girl costume, holding a whip, rubbing her hands.
Wait...
Why does this picture look a little wrong...
It seems to be some kind of indescribable game?
Chen Ye looked around the store with the pupil of luck and found a dim gray light shrouding the store, which seemed to indicate a not-so-good situation.
He immediately frowned, stepped into the store, and asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
Shen Meng turned her head and found that it was Chen Ye who came back. She immediately restrained her expression and looked a little embarrassed.
"Boss, you're back..."
At this moment, Wang Jing walked out from the screen behind him with two long kitchen knives in his hands.
This kitchen knife doesn't look like a meat-cutting knife, but rather like the side blade of a guillotine.
It looks like it's going to chop someone.
When Wang Jing found Chen Ye coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Boss, these diners were sent by the store next door to investigate the dishes in our store."
"Fortunately, I was careful and questioned them in time."
"These guys didn't understand the rules of the store, lied, and triggered the store rules."
"We left a survivor and planned to question which stores sent the players."
"However, these guys seemed to have signed some kind of contract and refused to say anything. They also threatened that with the boss behind them, we would not dare to touch a hair of them even if we had ten thousand leopards' courage."
After this explanation, Chen Ye roughly understood what happened to the "Integrity Restaurant".
It turned out that the owners of several restaurants next door found that the business source of the "Integrity Restaurant" was so good...
Immediately became suspicious.
In order to explore business secrets, the simplest and most direct way is to send subordinates to pretend to be normal diners and break into the store to see what secrets this store has.
As a result, Wang Jing's intuition was so accurate that he caught the business spy in one fell swoop.
This group of players was also stupid. When they first entered the store, they did not read the rules of the store carefully, but focused their eyes on the menu first, thinking only of completing the boss's task.
In fact, most of the aborigines who are profit-seeking and harm-avoiding will focus their eyes on the rules notice board as soon as they arrive at the store.
In order to avoid any extraordinary actions...
to bring disadvantages to themselves.
Therefore, the reckless actions of these players exposed their different side from regular aborigine guests.
Wang Jing looks rough on the surface, but he is meticulous and careful in running a restaurant.
He found out the abnormalities of these player "guests" at once.
While they have not carefully read the rules on the store notice board, he took the lead in interrogating them.
These players subconsciously quibbled because of their guilty conscience, violating the first rule of observing integrity.
The rules were triggered instantly, causing thousands of tentacles to fall down.
However, because Wang Jing had obtained the management rights of the deputy manager of the restaurant, he did not let these tentacles devour them directly for the time being, but tied them up first, and then dealt with them after questioning their origins.
Of course... because Wang Jing tied up all these guests, today's customer flow was lost.
"You did a good job."
Chen Ye nodded and did not object to what Wang Jing did.
If it was a normal restaurant, then customers would naturally come first.
But in the weird era, everything is based on survival and safety as the first priority.
If there is a potential hidden player opponent, then it is necessary to send out the hidden danger first.
Even if Chen Ye does it himself, he will do so.
At this moment.
Chen Ye walked forward and looked down at the "commercial spy" who was tied up into a knot.
These guests were tied up tightly and had a smelly sock stuffed in their mouths, making them unable to speak.
However, they looked extremely arrogant, as if they had no intention of compromising at all.
Chen Ye took the dirty socks out of the mouths of the spies and asked coldly:
"If you don't want to face a fate more terrible than death, you'd better tell me what I ask you next."
However, the spies seemed to turn a blind eye to Chen Ye's intimidation, and even seemed extremely arrogant.
The young man wearing a purple scarf, with a rebellious look on his face, stared at Chen Ye and smiled coldly:
"Do you know who our boss is?"
"If you dare to touch us, you won't make a penny from your store tomorrow!"
"Hehe, don't expect to get any information from us, but the only thing I can tell you is that there are more than one boss who want to target your store."
"If you want to survive on this street, you'd better be honest and know who you are provoking!"
Looking at the confident face of the young man, Chen Ye smiled and said nothing more.
"Boss, are you going to use torture to extract a confession?" Wang Jing looked at the guy's arrogant expression and was so angry that he couldn't help but take action.
"No need." Chen Ye waved his hand and said, "Next, I will do one thing. You retreat outside the store first."
Wang Jing and Shen Meng were stunned when he said this.
They didn't know what Chen Ye was going to do...
Mi Zi stood up first and walked out of the restaurant without hesitation.
At this time, the two seemed to realize something and retreated.
"What's going on..."
The group of "spies" felt a little timid when they saw such a situation.
They subconsciously realized that the oppression brought by the young man in front of them was not at the same level as the other two employees in the store.
This subconscious uneasiness amplified their inner fear of the source of fear.
At this time...
Chen Ye took out the [Stone Tablet of the Wild Territory].
He placed the stone tablet in the center of the store.
Woo woo woo!
A cold wind suddenly hung around.
The whole store suddenly seemed to dim, and even the weak warm yellow light was dyed like a ghost fire, flickering.
"What's going on?"
The "spies" looked panicked, and an unprecedented sense of uneasiness enveloped their hearts.
"Playing tricks, I don't believe that with the identity of the boss behind us, he dares to touch us!"
The young man gritted his teeth and shouted bravely.
The next second...
The wailing of countless wronged souls suddenly echoed throughout the store, like the crying of evil spirits.
Thousands of cries overlapped and brought an unprecedented sense of mental oppression.
Chen Ye closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about the spies at all. In front of him was only the line of bright red words--
[Parasitic Deed] + [Forbidden Tentacles] + [Parasitic Heart] + [Wasteland Stele] =
[Parasitic Lord]
