Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 231 0230: System components; two rewards!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang fell into deep thought.

If he is killed now, He Shuijun will have no chance of becoming a soul slave.

The only way is to kill him, use a new soul crystal to collect his soul, and then reshape it after the latter one is full. Then he will most likely become a soul slave.

By then, all his secrets will no longer be secrets.

But this possibility is not high. Although the soul will compete for the opportunity to reshape in the crystal, it is only about the strength of the soul power, not the strength of the body itself. Relatively speaking, it is more likely to let him live and force him to speak out.

"Keep feeding him for now. I'll talk to him after I finish these things. June is almost over, and I guess things at the Dayi Chamber of Commerce will be over soon."

"Okay. Then you have to replace someone." Luo Dingran said with a smile.

Cheng Zongyang nodded.

The two continued to walk in the area where the palm was located, checking the rest of the remaining areas.

"There are no plants growing in this internal area. Is it caused by this power?" Luo Dingran followed Cheng Zongyang into a half-remaining building area and started to look through it.

Cheng Zongyang flipped through the pages intently, saying, "It should be. See if you can find any bones, books, or anything like that. We didn't see any bones in the towns or villages we visited, which is extremely abnormal."

He didn't care how Huining County came to be. He wanted to find more useful information.

But at this moment, Luo Dingran, who was squatting on the ground, said to Cheng Zongyang in great surprise: "Sir, there is something wrong with the ground. It's hot."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang looked down and saw Luo Dingran squatting with his palms on the ground.

Cheng Zongyang also felt it.

I found that the temperature of the ground was indeed warm, like the temperature transmitted by floor heating.

Cheng Zongyang immediately felt it in other places and found that the temperature in the palm print area was higher.

After trying it everywhere, the two confirmed that the palm area had the highest temperature, about 40 degrees, but they were wearing shoes and didn't feel it. It was just outside the county town, and the temperature outside was normal.

Now they understood why no plants grew here.

Although there may be other factors, it was definitely caused by this palm.

"It has been more than a hundred years, right? The power of the palm is still there. How powerful is it? But it only destroyed the county town, while the area outside the county town is intact!" Luo Dingran sighed.

Li Kai also rushed over at this time, but he also brought a message to Cheng Zongyang.

On the way here, they encountered a strange beast passing by. When they were being chased, the strange beast did not dare to come near here.

Cheng Zongyang just nodded and didn't care.

He was also wondering why he wanted to destroy the county town in the first place?
This time, the three of them continued to search through some of the remaining buildings.

But most of the remaining buildings are some residential buildings, and some daily necessities are still there, but they have almost rotted away.

After half an hour, nothing was found. Cheng Zongyang shook his head and said, "This is a waste of time. Lao Luo, anchor the point and arrange the personnel. The village will be arranged according to your ideas."

"Yes." Luo Dingran agreed immediately.

After Luo Dingran set the anchor point and left, Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Kai and said with a smile: "You have made great contributions during this period. What do you want?"

Li Kai discovered Botao Town and Huining County successively, and this contribution is indispensable.

Li Kai clasped his hands and said, "It is my duty to share your worries, sir. I dare not talk about my achievements."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. If you can find a place like the county government, I promise to let you be promoted to a high-level soul slave next time. Your talent is in tracking, and there is room for improvement in the future."

"Thank you, sir!" Li Kai knelt on one knee excitedly and kowtowed repeatedly!
Cheng Zongyang said, "Alright. Get up. I'll leave this to Manager Luo. Go and do your thing."

"Yes, sir!" Li Kai suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed, turned around and left.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the ruins without much joy.

To put it bluntly, even scavengers don't want to come here because there is nothing valuable.

He did not stop, but continued to look for some shops, county offices, or wealthy mansions. Only in these places could he find valuable things.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

It was night again, and Cheng Zongyang didn't know where he was in Huining County. But he did make some discoveries where he was.

After three hours, he finally found the county government office.

What he didn't expect was that the county government office was not located in the central area of ​​the county, but in a corner. This made him doubt the credibility and status of the county government office.

But judging by the current dire situation in Huining County, we should be thankful that the county government office is not in the central area, because the palm of this hand is in the central area.

If it is the area where the five fingers are located, there is still a possibility of survival, but in the palm of the hand, there is no way of thinking about it being complete.

The central area of ​​the county town has become a flat land!
Although the county government office was found, there was still not much left, estimated to be less than one-third. Fortunately, he found a room where official documents, files or something else were stored.

When he discovered it, the room had collapsed, and Cheng Zongyang spent an hour carefully cleaning it all up.

He called Luo Dingran and asked him to find a few boxes. There were many boxes of gold and silver, enough for them.

Just because it was dark, Luo Dingran also took out a solar lamp.

Together, the two of them carefully put all the written records in the room into a box.

Perhaps because of the underground temperature, everything here is very dry. Although many paper books fall apart at the touch, some objects recorded on bamboo slips, jade, metal and other items can still be taken.

Looking at the books that had turned to ashes, Cheng Zongyang sighed and finally sent the packed things back to the third floor of the fresh-keeping warehouse.

He left the rest to the people assigned by Luo Dingran.

On the third floor of the fresh-keeping warehouse, Cheng Zongyang took out the things he brought back one by one.

Mainly metal utensils, jade and so on.

Although some bamboo slips could still be taken, the threads had long since rotted and would fall apart if they were spread out, so Cheng Zongyang did not move them for the time being, leaving Ding Xing to deal with them later.

Cheng Zongyang appraised them one by one, but in the end he shook his head. None of them were valuable. Finally, he looked at the dozen or so bundles of bamboo slips and appraised them anyway.

Cheng Zongyang was a little angry when he saw the appraisals one by one. It was not because of the value, but because he couldn't understand it! !

It was like a beloved girl sent you a letter, but you were illiterate and couldn't read it! That crazy feeling made him extremely depressed!
"No! We must get the Huangfu family's translation as soon as possible!" Cheng Zongyang was a little anxious.

There is a chance to use the items obtained to learn about this world, but I just can't understand it!

"How did the Huangfu family understand these words? What is the connection between them and the stone ring? Or was someone in the Huangfu family the previous owner of the stone ring?" That's right, the circle in the stone in the jade is the stone ring!

The patterns on the inner wall of the jade stone match the patterns seen on the stone ring, and they are equally exquisite!
That's why he had to shovel in the dirt and let the soul slaves sift out the jade stone fragments!

He packed up these things and went back to the cabin.

"Little House! Tell me if your previous host was named Huangfu!" Cheng Zongyang couldn't help it.

But the Ringwraiths did not respond at all!
"grown ups!"

"What's the matter?!" Cheng Zongyang, who was in an extremely unhappy mood, raised his voice a little.

The soul slave at the door was startled and said in a panic: "Then, all the gravel will be sifted. The sifting is done."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang suddenly turned his head and walked towards the door quickly: "Bring it here!"

"Yes."

The soul slave immediately turned around and brought back a small bowl.

"Sir, they are all here. We examined them one by one. There were no omissions." The soul slave added.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest." Cheng Zongyang nodded.

"Thank you, sir."

After the soul slave left, Cheng Zongyang took the bowl to the counter to identify it one by one. The information displayed was indeed correct, they were all fragments of jade stone.

Cheng Zongyang took out the large jade stone fragment for comparison, then got some glue and assembled the fragments.

Fortunately, there weren't too many of them. More than an hour had passed, and Cheng Zongyang put down the small clip in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and rested for a while.
Looking at the two completed cube halves of jade stone on the counter, his eyes were somewhat complicated.

However, at this moment, the two halves of the jade stone emitted a faint light in the gap. The next moment, the gap that was originally spliced ​​was quickly "healing".

This scene made Cheng Zongyang a little stunned.

Is there such an effect?

After a while, the two halves of the jade stone returned to an identical piece of jade, intact. They merged together like a mold!
"Is this the real origin of the stone ring?"

Cheng Zongyang immediately threw an appraisal.

-

【Jade Stone Box】

Introduction: Two hundred years ago, the jade box fell and was picked up by someone. The first host received a random novice item reward. Later, the host was ambushed on the spot, and the stone in the jade was lost and separated, and it was automatically untied after the host died.

Function: The box for storing the jade stone ring is part of the stone ring. It can be recycled in the market hut. After recycling, you can get some rewards and the hut will be updated.

Rewards (choose two): ①: Points +10; ② Choose an item you have purchased before; ③ Random talent; ④ A random special and unique item; ⑤ A random gold-level tool.

-

"Wow, it really is a part of the system."

Looking at the information after the appraisal, Cheng Zongyang's eyes almost popped out, and looking at the rewards, his saliva almost flowed out.

"Ringwraith, I want them all." Cheng Zongyang felt a little painful.

At this moment, he hates making choices the most!!
After a while, Cheng Zongyang had to calm down from this unexpected surprise!

The acquisition of the jade stone box was an accident, and the reward after the puzzle was even more unexpected. But although the introduction was simple, he also understood the reason.

——The first host obtained the Jade Stone Box, and just after binding, he obtained the stone translation and other novice rewards. However, he was ambushed by the host’s friends or passers-by on the spot and died.

Only if you are not familiar with the function will you be ambushed. Otherwise, you can hide in the market hut in a moment. Even if you are injured, you can go in for treatment.

Later, the stone ring will automatically unbind and disappear, and appear randomly in other places.

The person who plotted against the first host, if Cheng Zongyang guessed correctly, should be the first patriarch of the Huangfu family! Otherwise, where did he get the stone carving? Only by killing the host who was not familiar with the stone ring, could he obtain the stone carving and other rewards, as well as this jade stone box.

He even suspected that the Huangfu family's magic weapon refining method was also one of the rewards.

Later, the jade box was stored on the person, and was bitten and swallowed by the fish? The stone ring randomly fell on Tianduan Mountain for more than 200 years, and was accidentally swallowed by a snake, and was captured by Cheng Zongyang, who became the second host.

How else to explain that the market huts were as dilapidated as the thatched huts after the war?

Now, everything seems to be working.

Next, Cheng Zongyang stared at the five options.

In the end, the first one was eliminated by him.

It is only a matter of time to earn 100,000 points. Choosing points at this time, his brain is not stuck in the door!

The second is a reward for an item that has been purchased... Cheng Zongyang quickly went over it in his mind.

Although the purchase of the item column was left to Luo Dingran, Luo Dingran always recorded the items purchased each time and would give it to Cheng Zongyang to look at later.

He has a good memory and remembers everything he has bought.

But there weren't many valuable things, and there were only a few that really had a great effect on him.

He fetched a pen and paper and listed the items that he thought were important.

——Soul-gathering monument, roster, oath contract, orc spirit, dragon bone ship, teleportation array, migration order!
"The oath contract is unnecessary." Cheng Zongyang crossed it out from the paper.

"The relocation order...is no longer needed. In the future, just find a suitable place to settle down. There is no need to move around." Cheng Zongyang continued to cross out.

Afterwards he crossed out the teleportation array, roster, and keel boat.

He could try to make the array after studying it himself. Although the roster was good, it was not what he needed at the moment. Although the keel boat was good, he didn't have any extra ships at the moment, so he couldn't form a fleet. One was enough for now.

Finally, what remains are the Soul-Gathering Monument and the Orc Essence.

The Soul Gathering Monument is extremely useful, and is of great help to him both in fighting against enemies and in protecting himself.

In the future, whether it is Chengjia Village, Tianduan Village, or even the county town, the soul-gathering monument can be used to protect them.

As for the orc essence... he shook his head. It can be said that the benefits brought to him by the mole beast were simply amazing!
He can now choose the reward, which is brought to him by the mole beast!
He has always wanted to buy more orc essence to create a second mole beast so that the inner and outer worlds can cooperate with each other.

The current mole beast is a male, and his mental state is gradually recovering and improving. It may not be impossible for him to return to normal in the future. If we get a female, and the two of them return to normal in the future, maybe they can reproduce?
After some thought, Cheng Zongyang chose the orc spirit.

There is only one mole beast, which is really not enough.

Chengjia Village needs the assistance of the mole beast, and it is possible that the mole beast will become the guardian beast of Chengjia Village in the future. Similarly, the construction of the wilderness world territory and the reclamation of minerals also require the mole beast. It is possible that the mole beast will bring him more surprises in the future.

In addition, he didn't know where the orc altar was, nor whether it still existed. Therefore, he had to focus on meeting his current needs first.

"It's you!" Cheng Zongyang made the decision.

Next is the second reward.

Talents, special items, golden tools.

In this regard, he did not hesitate and chose talent.

Although he didn't know what kind of talent it was, it was also a way to improve his own abilities. Although golden tools and special items also helped a lot, he was more willing to improve himself.

After confirming it, he placed the jade stone box on the counter, which collected it.

Then a box appears and you can choose a reward.

Cheng Zongyang chose two or three, and then chose the orc spirit as the second option.

Final submission.

Then, a new prompt box appeared——

[Random talent beads and orc spirits will be distributed... The market hut will be undergoing maintenance and will not update existing functions. This will take about 24 hours.]

Then, on the counter, a fist-sized white bead and a sapphire-like spirit appeared.

Cheng Zongyang did not touch the gifted bead first, but asked the soul slave to inform Luo Zheng to send over the energetic and strong female mole.

After Luo Zheng learned about it, he immediately sent a relatively large but strong little mole.

Cheng Zongyang immediately came outside and fused the orc's spirit into it.

The next changes of the mole were the same as those of the mole beast before.

After waiting for a while, a No. 2 mole beast that was similar to No. 1 appeared.

At the same time, new information emerges.
