Chapter 521 Three Parties
Looking at the refreshed dice, Luo Jun felt a little complicated.

More than three hours passed in the main world and twenty days passed in the maze. In other words, the speed of time flow was about one hundred and fifty to one.

One day outside takes almost half a year here.

Of course, according to the rules, the speed of time flowing in different places in the maze may be different, but Luo Jun has been traversing the maze for the past twenty days, covering an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers. This one hundred and fifty times should be a comprehensive average value.

This also has a positive side for Luo Jun, as it means that the time outside has passed very quickly, and Yuan Lao's family members should be in a stable mood. In addition, as long as there are sufficient supplies, he can continue to practice here without worrying about being disturbed by the outside world.

But on the other hand, this also means that each time a mission is launched, the main world may only be open for a few hours. It seems that the frequency of this mission opening may be higher than previously estimated, and more people have died here...

Looking at the others with sad faces, Luo Jun held the diary and smiled: "Don't be too depressed, there is actually a good news hidden in this diary."

"Good news?" Everyone was slightly stunned. Sun Xiaowei frowned and said, "The exit has long legs and ran away. What good news can there be?"

"You forgot that the diary only lost a dozen days in total," Luo Jun said. "From this diary, the four people are still alive. It should not be a very late diary. And the last diary in the book, they are still struggling to survive, with almost no savings. It is estimated that it is less than ten days from this page. In such a short time, they actually exchanged the exit indicator?"

"Without the Generous Badge, how did they manage to save up 100,000 yuan in such a short time, assuming they could cover the daily expenses of four people?"

"That's right." Everyone nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, we were living in such a tight financial situation before, this 100,000 yuan really came from a strange place."

As he spoke, Luo Jun looked at the businessman with a smile: "You should know how those people made money before, right?"

"Don't say you don't know him. You just said that you still remember this client from many years ago."

"Um... this..." The businessman hesitated for a moment: "There was indeed a group of people who made a lot of money in a short period of time. They saved up 100,000 in less than ten days and exchanged it for an exit indicator..."

"That's it. What's their trick?" Luo Jun continued to ask.

"My lovely guest." The businessman rubbed his chubby hands together and said, "I think this answer is worth 10,000 yuan..."

"Three thousand!" Luo Jun stretched out three fingers and activated the Tianji dice at the same time.

"Okay... three thousand is fine." Luo Jun's confident tone and outstanding personality charm finally made the businessman surrender and agree to the price.

Luo Jun immediately used the badge of the generous man to receive three thousand yuan, and the businessman who received the money slowly spoke.

"I remember there were four of us at the time, and we were struggling financially, but suddenly the speed at which we made money skyrocketed. I was very curious, so I asked about it."

"The old man in the lead told me that they found a way to attract monsters to come to the door automatically!"

"Monsters come to you automatically?" Luo Jun frowned when he heard this. "I remember that this is one of the products you sell, right?"

"Indeed..." The merchant handed over a booklet. "Look at the monster-attracting incense on the third page. It has the function of attracting monsters. But the monster-attracting incense can only attract ordinary monsters, and its range is very limited, so its efficiency is not very high."

"But those people accidentally discovered that by mixing the monster-attracting incense with another substance, the efficiency of attracting monsters is greatly increased, and it can also attract chaos monsters."

"You know, one Chaos Monster can drop a gold ingot, which can be exchanged for 10,000 yuan there. If you kill ten of them, you can get 100,000 yuan. How can this be inefficient?"

"No!" Luo Jun shook his head and looked at the businessman: "They shouldn't have saved money from gold ingots!"

The businessman was stunned: "I'm not lying. They made money very quickly during that period, but the banknotes they exchanged here were not much. It could only be gold ingots..."

Luo Jun flipped through another diary: "In this diary, they would rather avoid the Chaos Monster than hunt it to pay back the money. Why did they suddenly change their minds later?"

"I don't know about that..." The businessman spread his hands and said, "I'm telling the truth. I've already received your money. How could I possibly cheat you?"

"Could it be that the people who wrote this diary are not the same people as the ones I mentioned?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out... Luo Jun asked: "What do the four people you mentioned look like?"

"The leader was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with two young girls and a red-haired young man."

The physical features all match, how could it be such a coincidence?

It seems that something must have happened between these two pages of the diary...

Thinking of this, Luo Jun flipped through the product brochure and asked, "What is this thing you mentioned that is mixed with the monster-attracting incense?"

"I don't have it here." The merchant shook his head. "It's the food sold by the black merchants. To be more precise, it's some twisted and weird meat in the food. Only this thing, combined with the monster-attracting incense, can increase its effectiveness!"

In the end, is it still a black shop?
Luo Jun looked back at Ling Jian on the back of the unicorn.

Honestly speaking, Luo Jun was quite tempted by the profit of 10,000 gold ingots, but the key point was that all the previous signs showed that there was something wrong with the black shop, so even though he now had three gold ingots in his hand, he still didn't want to have anything to do with the black shop.

But now, all the circumstances indicate that although black shops are dangerous, they may hide key information for passing the customs.

What's more, Ling Jian's condition also requires him to go to the black shop to find a treatment method.

It seems that I have no choice but to go there once more.

Next, Luo Jun chatted with the fat businessman for a while, but he really couldn't get any more information out of him. He could only exchange the things he had collected for cash, bought nothing, and left.

"What should we do now?" Sun Xiaowei asked. "We can only go to the black shop." Yuan Lao looked at Ling Jian and said, "Although it is dangerous, we have to go, both for the child and for ourselves."

"But black shops are even rarer than white shops. Where can we find them?" Mao Xintong frowned.

"By the way, didn't you exchange two maps in the black shop last time?" Ma Qiao reminded.

Luo Jun nodded: "It seems that we have to sprint again... Mr. Yuan, how fast can your unicorn run?"

"It's just a little faster than an ordinary cow, but it has great endurance." Old Yuan nodded and said, "It's no problem for it to run 50 kilometers in an hour."

"Then let's give it a try." Luo Jun took out a map: "If we still can't find it in half an hour, we can consider speeding up."

As he said this, he opened the map.

"Huh?" Luo Jun couldn't help but shout out when he saw the map. He saw a striking black dot within the three-dimensional range with a radius of one kilometer.

What a coincidence? There's a black shop nearby?
Everyone set off immediately and soon arrived at the destination according to the map.

It was still a dead end of several dozen meters, at the end of which was a rusty gate that exuded an ominous atmosphere, with a tattered plaque hanging above the door.

"What should I do? Do you want to go in?"

"Let Xiao Luo and I go," said Yuan Lao. "After all, we have dealt with each other once before, so we are more familiar with each other. You guys wait at the intersection first."

Luo Jun nodded, and the internal energy emerged and tightly wrapped around his body. He followed his master into the alley. Everyone else was waiting at the intersection, only the one-horned rhinoceros followed behind with the unconscious Ling Jian on its back.

Old Yuan walked up and knocked on the door. After a while, the iron door opened and a head popped out from inside.

What surprised Luo Jun was that, unlike the old and skinny head last time, this head was bloated and fat, with some Western features, and the eyes were squeezed into two lines by the fat. The only thing that was the same was that there were many disgusting tumors on this head.

The fat merchant is always the same in the white shop, but why does he change in the black shop?
"Are there guests?" The bloated head made a shrill voice: "Why do you smell so bad?"

"Smell? I've been in this damn place for more than twenty days without being able to take a shower or change clothes. It's hard not to smell..." Luo Jun tilted his head and smelled himself, and felt that it was not so bad.

The enhanced attributes meant more than just greater strength and sharper senses. Luo Jun could feel that his body seemed to have undergone some fundamental changes. Even the operating principles of various physiological functions were different from before, such as the ability to metabolize.

At least now Luo Jun almost never sweats and hardly emits any body odor. This is because with his current physical fitness, he simply cannot do enough exercise to dissipate heat. Secondly, reducing body odor can also make it easier to hide himself, which in a sense can be considered a kind of evolution.

"Not that kind, it's my most disgusting stink!"

As he spoke, he poked his bloated head out and saw the one-horned rhinoceros not far behind the two of them, and Ling Jian on its back.

"The source of the stench!" After seeing Ling Jian, the bloated head's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and the whole person seemed to have gone crazy. He suddenly broke open the door, revealing the body that was like a big hand!

Only then did Luo Jun see his full appearance. Unlike the previous skinny head that was born on the middle finger, this monster's head was born on the little finger. The fat head and thin neck looked a little inconsistent.

The monster suddenly rushed out of the door, catching the master and disciple off guard. Realizing that something was wrong, they retreated hastily. The monster opened its big hand, and a big mouth opened on its palm with fangs. A long and thick tongue covered with mucus shot out from it, reaching for Ling Jian on the back of the unicorn!
At the critical moment, Yuan Lao waved his hand, and the sharp blade formed by the condensed Qi cut off the monster's tongue. Luo Jun on the side also took out the gold ingot and tried to negotiate with the monster. As a result, the monster seemed to have lost its mind and could not communicate at all. After the tongue was cut off, its whole body began to mutate. The five fingers split into countless tentacles and bone spurs, and they became bigger and bigger, constantly proliferating, and became a large mass of disgusting tissue, almost instantly filling the entire aisle, and it was even expanding!

At this time, the other people guarding the intersection also noticed the unusual movement. They rushed in and were shocked when they saw the horrible monster. They took out various weapons to attack. However, no matter whether it was bullets or vitality, they could only break limited flesh and blood on the monster and could not stop the monster's growth at all.

"Looks like I have to use some drastic measures..." Seeing that the monster was getting bigger and bigger, and might even burst out of the intersection, Old Yuan frowned, put on his Bagua brass knuckles, and prepared to use a big move.

At this time, Luo Jun suddenly pulled him, raised his hand and took out a magic wand, waved it towards the ground, and a wall appeared out of thin air, just blocking everyone!
It’s the prop that creates a wall. With this treasure, the monsters and the black shop are completely trapped in a dead end!
"What was that just now? What happened?" Although the monster was sealed, everyone was still frightened: "Where did that monster come from? Is there such a scary thing in the black shop?"

"That's the big-handed businessman we talked about before." Elder Yuan said, "We could communicate with each other at first, but who would have thought that after seeing Ling Jian, it suddenly attacked like crazy and turned into a monster like that."

"Did he go crazy after Ling Jian?" Mao Xintong asked in surprise, "Why? Aren't there chaotic creatures in the store as well? Why are they killing each other?"

"They shouldn't be in the same group..." Luo Jun frowned and said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago. If they are compatriots, why would the black shop collect gold ingots and encourage us to hunt those monsters? This makes sense. The black shop is hostile to those monsters!"

"The black shops are hostile to the monsters. Does that mean the normal shops are in the same group with the monsters? So they don't want gold ingots?" Ma Qiao said.

"That doesn't make sense." Mao Xintong shook her head. "If they were in league with the monsters, they shouldn't have led us to the black shop..."

"It seems that there are three forces in this maze..." Yuan Lao analyzed: "The black store and the chaos monsters are hostile to each other, while the white store is completely neutral and has no dealings with either side."

"That's why the merchant in the white shop said that if you hold gold ingots, you won't be attacked." Luo Jun said, "Because gold ingots mean that we killed their enemies, so naturally we have to treat them well!"

"But in this case, as long as we bring Ling Jian with us, won't we be unable to enter the black shop?" Zhuge Zi looked at Ling Jian who was still unconscious.

"Not necessarily." Luo Jun shook his head. "There is a difference between black shops and white shops. The owner of a black shop is not always the same person. And judging from the reaction of the shop owner just now, he doesn't know us... Therefore, if we go to a new black shop without Ling Jian, maybe everything will be fine."

"What if we get attacked again?" Sun Xiaowei asked worriedly.

"Then I can just seal another wall." Luo Jun shook his head: "But I believe that if you have only come into contact with chaotic creatures, you will not be attacked. After all, the black shop still wants the gold ingots."

As he spoke, he looked at the still-valid map and said, "Next, we'd better find the next black shop before the map becomes invalid!"
