Chapter 82
Xia Guo Purchasing Department.

A department under the Ministry of Commerce of Xia Kingdom.

The main work in the past was to purchase some foreign high-end technology, send it to the Academy of Sciences for cracking, and then convert it into a department of domestic technology.

Now the main job of this department is to purchase some special goods in the horror mall.

Ashes, paper money, incense candles, body oil, etc.

Because money is life's sake.

The number of special items that the purchasing department stores is not very large.

But compared to ordinary players or player forces, the goods in the purchasing department can already be described as piled up like a mountain.

Although Xia Guo's strength has been weakened due to the endless horror, it still cannot be underestimated.

Just like the current stable prices of special commodities, it is because of Xia Guo's Ministry of Commerce that the prices of these commodities can be kept so stable.

"Minister Zhu! There are new special products!"

With a bang, the door of the head of the purchasing department was pushed open, and an operator rushed in in a hurry.

"What is it like to be in a panic, Xiao Zhang, how many times have I told you, be calm."

The head of the procurement department is a kind-looking fat man. He was shocked by the sudden intrusion, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he waved his hands kindly.
"But this time the product is not ordinary, it is the crystallization of resentment!"

The operator named Xiao Zhang raised his phone and shouted loudly.

"what?!"

Minister Zhu, who was calm just now, was swift like a ball of lightning, bounced off the chair in an instant, and snatched the mobile phone from Xiao Zhang's hand.

"It really is!"

He widened his eyes and looked at the resentment crystals of the four prices that appeared in the trading options, his face was full of horror.

as one of the players on the leaderboard.

Zhu Zhi naturally knew that resentment crystallized.

He even got a piece of resentment crystal shard.

It is precisely because of this that he knows the rarity and effect of resentment crystals.

He never thought that someone would trade with the crystals of resentment.

Because in his opinion, as long as players who have the ability to obtain crystals of resentment, they should all use the good things of this panacea for themselves.

"You must get these crystals..."

Throwing the phone back to his subordinates, Zhu Zhi's fat face was full of contemplation.

"Don't think about the 100-year one. It must be some greedy sand sculpture who was lucky enough to get this crystal and wanted to claim a lifespan. The 80-year one is about the same. Although the price of the 65-year one is not very reasonable, you can get it by gnashing your teeth. Excuse me, the 45-year-old...hehe, you are a newcomer who doesn’t know anything, and it’s so cheap!”

Sitting back in his seat, Zhu Zhi said to his opponent.

"Mobilize the lifespan and take down the 65-year and 45-year resentment crystallization."

"Yes, Minister."

After receiving the order, the operator nodded and left the office quickly.

"It's a pity that there are only two pieces of crystals. I'm afraid that these two crystals will be given priority to the second and third place. It would be great if there were ten or eight pieces. Then I can also get one piece to strengthen my strength." Little spider."

While speaking, a bulging spider crawled out of Zhu Zhi's ear.

On the round belly of this spider, there is a child's face, and this child looks [-]% similar to Zhu Zhi.

……

[The transaction is successful, you lose 2 resentment crystal fragments.You get a lifespan: 110 years]

[It is detected that your lifespan exceeds a hundred years, and you get the achievement: centenarian]

"Huh? It's quite fast."

When Xu Yuan came to the entrance of Dahuai Village and checked the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, his expression changed when he heard the prompt that popped up in his mind.

Originally, he thought that the crystals of resentment he had put on it would take a while.

But the popularity of the resentment crystal was higher than he imagined.

"It seems that there are many people who know the goods."

Seeing that the resentment crystal fragments with a 65-year lifespan were all taken away.

Xu Yuan thought for a while, and put another resentment crystal on it.

[Resentment Crystal Fragment Trading 68-year Lifespan]

"Since there are people who want 65 years of life, no one should care if I add 3 years."

Hanging up new resentment crystal fragments, Xu Yuan began to purchase paper money.

He now has a lifespan of 202 years.

He plans to use 120 years of life to purchase paper money.

As for whether it is enough.

He doesn't know.

Anyway, there are still resentment crystals hanging on the trading mall. He believes that sooner or later, someone will not help but buy it.

"Another one? The price has increased? What's the situation?"

Xia Guo Purchasing Department.

Zhu Zhi looked at the resentment crystals that jumped out again, and his angry eyes bulged out like goldfish.

He felt like he was being tricked.

This guy who sells resentment crystals not only has one resentment shard in his hand, but a bunch of them.

The four crystals of resentment hanging in the mall may all belong to this guy.

The reason why he set four prices for these four grievance crystals was to test them out.

Test the buyer's bottom line.

As a result, because he was too eager, he exposed the bottom line that he could bear.

Now the price of this product is sitting on the ground, making Zhu Zhi furious.

"What the hell, don't you know that everyone is living in dire straits now? It's disgusting that you made such a fortune!"

Incompetent and furious, he smashed all the cups in the office, and Zhu Zhi gradually regained his composure.

When things got to this point, it was pointless to be angry.

All he can do is to find a way to let this guy who is sitting on the ground know that raising prices indiscriminately will only make the goods rotten in his hands.

Taking out the phone, Zhu Zhi was just about to tell his subordinates not to buy the resentment crystals in the trading mall for the time being.

But at this time, the products in the trading mall suddenly refreshed.

He found the crystals in the mall, except for the outrageous 100-year lifespan resentment crystal.

The other two have all disappeared.

"..."

With blue veins bulging on his forehead, Zhu Zhi's fat face turned red, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of the purchasing specialist.

"Take down all the resentment crystals for me! Immediately! Immediately!"

……

[The transaction is successful, you lose 3 resentment crystal fragments, and you gain lifespan: 248 years]

Xu Yuan, who was holding a stack of paper money in his hand, was slightly taken aback when he heard this reminder.

"Uh...do you have such direct money?"

Seeing the crystallization of resentment in his pocket, Xu Yuan scratched his head.

The reason why he set such a high price for a piece of resentment crystal is entirely to set off the resentment crystal below.

Who would have thought.

This little thing would actually be sold at such an outrageous price.

So without hesitation, he took another grievance crystal and put it on the trading mall, directly setting a price of 150 years of life.

The price is outrageous.

But it doesn't matter, because the lifespan in Xu Yuan's hand is already enough.

"Using another 200 years of life to buy paper money should be enough to pay homage to the dead in this village."

Seeing that he had 330 years of life, Xu Yuan waved his hand without hesitation, and directly swiped out 200 years of life, all of which were used to buy paper money.

Trading in the trade mall is fun.

As long as the lifespan is consumed, the product will appear in the hands of the buyer out of thin air.

And because Xu Yuan bought more.

The mall also specially provided him with a sack with the words "horror mall" printed on it.

In the sack, there are strings of paper money.

"59 copies."

Xu Yuan, who has consumed nearly 200 years of life, purchased so much paper money.

Xu Yuan didn't know how many wild graves there were in the back mountain.

But he knew that if the paper money wasn't enough, he could only use violence to make these grave owners honest.

Putting the money bag full of paper money on his shoulders, Xu Yuan once again set his sights on the big locust tree in front of him.

locust tree.

Also known as the ghost tree.

It has the function of suppressing ghosts, and many cemeteries are planted with this kind of tree to suppress Fengshui and prevent unclean "things" from running out.

The village is called Dahuai Village.

There is also such a big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Plus the grave bags in this village.

Xu Yuan felt that this tree was very problematic.

"Is this tree suppressing the whole village?"

Putting his hand lightly on the big locust tree, a feeling of bone-chilling cold came, which made Xu Yuan shiver involuntarily.

"Good ice!"

It's obviously a tree, but it feels cooler than ice cubes.

Moreover, Xu Yuan felt that with the touch of his palm, the power of ghosts in his blood was suppressed.

"interesting!"

Looking at this big green tree, Xu Yuan withdrew his palm.

He is not going to move the tree.

Although this tree has the power to suppress weirdness.

But he didn't have the ability to move the tree away.

And he was not sure whether moving the tree would disrupt the balance of the village and wake up the sleeping terror in the village.

Turning around, Xu Yuan was just about to find a place to rest, when there was a crisp sound behind him.

Click!

A branch fell from the locust tree and landed at his feet.

At the same time, the trunk of the big locust tree suddenly cracked.

A large piece of bark fell off the trunk, revealing a pure white heart.

Under Xu Yuan's ghostly gaze, bloody nicks appeared out of nowhere on the pure white heart of the tree.

[This tree is called Soul Locust Tree, which can suppress evil spirits and stabilize the world. I will plant this tree here and wait for someone who is destined. The next time the reincarnation restarts, when the ghost house comes, this tree will give birth to a new species. Those who are destined to obtain this kind can plant it in a strange secret place to suppress it, and can continuously obtain soul crystals to make up for themselves.

——Player: Ghosts and Scholars stay. 】

"what's the situation?"

Looking at the line of writing on the tree trunk, Xu Yuan's eyes widened in astonishment.

The amount of information contained in this line of text is a bit large.

It made him unacceptable for a while.

"Hush...huh!"

Rubbing between his eyebrows, Xu Yuan picked up the branch on the ground.

On this branch, a black seed is exuding a dense light.

【Om! 】

[You get a special strange item: Seed of Soul Sophora]

[Seed of Soul Locust Tree, star rating: ★★, attributes: suppression ⅳ, soul crystal ⅳ, growth ⅳ]

[Explanation: Even in the dark world, it is an extremely rare special plant, which has the ability to absorb strange negative emotions and grow continuously. 】

"Plant in the shadow world? What is the origin of this ghost scholar?"

Picking off the seeds from the branch and putting them in his pocket, Xu Yuan looked at the blood on the trunk thoughtfully.

"The other party predicted that the world would be restarted? He left the tree in this village? Could this ghost and god scholar be a player too? And was he a player when the world restarted last time?"

"So, where is he now?"

To claim to be a scholar must be at least an ancient person from the previous dynasty.

But if the opponent is a player.

There's a good chance he's still alive now.

The opponent can even use the soul locust tree to suppress special scenes as a means of breeding.

Xu Yuan didn't think that the life span won by the other party would be very small.

Such an existence with a long lifespan has no trace of its existence in reality.

Where has he gone?
Suspicion arose in Xu Yuan's heart.

He felt the more ignorant he became as he learned more about endless horror.

There are so many secrets in this game.

The more you explore, the more frightened you feel.

...

The night gradually receded, and the light came again.

However, the gloomy chill in Dahuai Village was not weakened by half because of the dawn, on the contrary, it became stronger.

It's getting foggy.

A thick fog appeared out of nowhere, obscuring it, making everything look hazy.

There seemed to be something in the fog.

floating on people.

Heart-warming cold.

Bah~ Bah~
The sound of the suona was faintly heard, and a group of "people" were walking in the thick fog.

These "people" have stiff limbs and neat movements.

Under the leadership of several "people" blowing suona in front, they kept approaching Dahuai Village.

Bah~ Bah~!

The sound of the suona became clearer and clearer, and the coldness in the air became more intense.

At this time, the real appearance of these people also appeared.

This is a group of paper people.

Wearing various styles of paper clothes and with various painted expressions, they stopped at the entrance of Dahuai Village step by step.

there.

It is a huge locust tree in Dahuai Village.

At this time, the locust tree was trembling constantly because the paper man was approaching.

Bah~ Bah~
The suona playing the mourning music suddenly rang loudly, and the paper people who had stopped seemed to have received some signal, and one after another took a step forward.

click!
A soft sound.

There was a gap in the trunk of the big locust tree.

A blood-red liquid flowed out of it.

The appearance of blood made these paper figurines take a step back, as if there was some invisible force that made it difficult for them to advance.

But as the sound of the suona grew louder, this invisible force was weakening.

Just when the trembling paper people raised their feet and prepared to step forward again.

Suddenly there was a footstep in Dahuai Village, and a figure slowly walked out of it.

"It's time."

A calm voice sounded, Xu Yuan with a pale face came out carrying a bag full of paper money.

He looked at the paper man standing at the entrance of the village, waved his hand, and looked casual.

"It's early to go to the grave, let's go."

The appearance of Xu Yuan made these paper figurines turn their heads in his direction in unison.

They looked at Xu Yuan and remained silent.

"..."

"..."

Seeing these paper figurines, Xu Yuan was also heartbroken.

He didn't expect that besides the villagers of Dahuai Village, paper dolls from other places would participate in the task of going to the grave.

What's even more pitiful is that the strength of these paper figurines is obviously much stronger than that of the paper figurines in Dahuai Village.

If he didn't know this through the future vision just now, if he rushed out rashly, he might have been beaten to death by these paper figurines.

Fortunately, he was clever and bought a copy of the ashes in the trading mall in time to smear it on himself, covering his human breath and avoiding this danger.

Bah Bah!
At this time, the sound of the suona suddenly turned, and these paper figures who were standing still turned their feet and moved again.

"call……"

Slightly relieved, Xu Yuan took out a handful of ashes from his pocket and slapped his face on his face to touch up his makeup.

The ashes need to be covered with face to be effective.

However, this thing is not very reliable, and it will fall when it vibrates. You must pay attention to makeup at any time to maintain the effect of blocking the human breath.

Standing behind the line of paper figurines, Xu Yuan frowned slightly as he listened to Suona's underworld music.

He found that the sound of the suona had a very strong erosive effect.

Hearing this suona sound, his skin felt slightly tight.

It felt as if his skin was being papered.

"This may be the source of the paper figurines."

Feeling this, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He suspected that behind the scenes of this special scene, there should also be a black hand in the deep dark world manipulating everything.

This suona sound is the ghost he made.

With the backing of blood power, this weird suona sound didn't do anything to Xu Yuan in the end.

Xu Yuan, who was touching up makeup all the way, followed the team of paper figurines to the final destination.

Back Mountain.

The Back Mountain is a small mountain of steamed bread.

Dark and bald.

Very inconspicuous.

But on such an inconspicuous hill, it is full of graves without tombstones.

These graves are quite old and left unattended.

Each of them was covered with tall weeds, which looked extraordinarily miserable.

Xu Yuan followed the paper people up the mountain.

Watching these paper people seem to be equipped with navigation, accurately stopping at the graves.

His expression was a little dull.

"Um... so, who should I burn paper money for?"

As an outsider, Xu Yuan didn't know that the graves here belonged to Dahuai Village.

"It's troublesome."

Standing where they were, they looked at the paper people who burned themselves to ashes without any fire after finding the grave.

There was a trace of cold sweat on Xu Yuan's forehead.

He felt that with the passage of time, eyes full of resentment were locking him, like sharp claws, scratching his soul.

[You did not burn paper for the soul of the deceased, you violated the rules, you died. 】

The prompt that popped up at the same time in the future made Xu Yuan know that he could not waste time anymore.

He quickly scanned the grave without paper figures.

[You burned paper money for the Lonely Ghost, and the Lonely Ghost entangled you. 】

[You burned paper money for Anonymous Tomb, and the unknown terror left a mark on you. 】

[You burned paper money for the villagers of Willow Village, the villagers of Willow Village increased their goodwill towards you, the deceased in Dahuai Village increased their malice towards you, and you will be besieged. 】

[You burned paper money for the villagers of Dahuai Village, and you calmed down the anger of the villagers in Dahuai Village. 】

His eyes stopped, and Xu Yuan walked towards the grave.

He took out a string of paper money from the sack and placed it on the grave.

call!
The paper money placed on the graves spontaneously ignited without fire, and the rising smoke was inhaled by the graves.

Vaguely, Xu Yuan saw a hideous figure emerging from the grave, and nodded to him.

"very good!"

Feeling the weakened malicious gaze, Xu Yuan glanced again.

Soon, he found another grave of a villager in Dahuai Village.

In the past, take out the paper money and throw it away.

A series of movements flowed smoothly, but Xu Yuan's eyes did not stop, and continued to scan the surrounding graves that he hadn't seen.

Future Vision's prompts allowed him to accurately find the graves of every deceased person in Dahuai Village.

With strings of paper money burning.

The resentful eyes clinging to him became less and less.

But for some reason, Xu Yuan felt that the resentment in his eyes not only didn't weaken, but became more and more intense.

That kind of feeling seemed to wish him to die immediately.
