My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 12 Branch Strengthening
Looking at the text on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo fell into deep thought. The two options determined different subsequent plots.

Logically speaking, he should choose the second answer, at least he could get a promise, which might come in handy someday.

But he always felt that this game was not that simple. What if you thought you were on the first level, but in fact others were on the third level? Wouldn’t that be a waste of an opportunity?

Do you want to take a gamble?
If you win, you can enjoy a delicious meal; if you lose, at most you have played for nothing.

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a long time, and finally, he decided to just screw it and choose the first one.

Anyway, the few props he got from that trip to the coffin shop on Funeral Street were enough to offset the reward for the mission.

"You righteously told Zuantianshu that seeing injustice on the road, drawing your sword to help is the duty of chivalrous men. Why should I thank you?"

"After hearing this, the Rat was deeply moved. It was enough to have one bosom friend in life. Even if your soul was blasphemed by the law, he still felt that you were a good person who could be trusted."

"He is grateful for your help and gives you a mysterious gift."

"You have obtained a piece of ore."

"Drilling Rat thinks you should have a handy weapon to protect yourself, otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive for a long time in this turbulent and chaotic land."

"He obtained this ore in the mining city many years ago. It is extremely hard and is the perfect material for making weapons."

Good man!!!
Jiang Xinghuo was filled with emotion.

It seems that the Rat also saw his predicament. Even though his physical fitness has been enhanced, he has no power to resist the ghosts and gods in this world. He can only barely bully those drug addicts. If something else comes, he will be helpless.

And he also noticed that the game text gave a new map.

"Mining City is a city in the northwest, far away from the capital. It is surrounded by mountains and rich in minerals. It is rich in various precious stones. The people in the city are also engaged in related work. They are good at carving stone tablets, mining and digging, and digging for gold."

Jiang Xinghuo scratched his head and opened a new map, but the distance was a bit far, so he could only leave it there for the time being and come back to it when there was a chance.

At this time, another text popped up in the game.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have seen the secrets of this ore beneath its surface."

"It turns out that this is a meteorite from outer space, a fragment that fell off from a celestial body in the universe, and it contains a trace of weak star power."

"You can go find the Divine Craftsman in the museum. He is the only one in this city who can provide you with forging formulas and techniques."

Oh hoo!

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had made the right choice. He gave a peach and received a plum in return. The gift that Zuantianshu gave him turned out to be a meteorite from outer space.

He wanted to take it out and have a look, but he was afraid that it might carry radiation. After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up the idea.

"Although the injury of the Sky Rat has eased, it still needs to recuperate for a while. It also has some things it wants to discuss with you in detail. If you are interested, come back here to find it in three days."

Ok?
Not over yet?

Jiang Xinghuo didn't expect this task to be a chain task. If that's the case, then just continue. One task has given him so much, and with the subsequent tasks, who knows what good things there will be. But today's task line is temporarily over.

Jiang Xinghuo put down his phone and looked at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock, but he was not sleepy at all. With his strengthened physical fitness, it would not have any impact even if he did not sleep for a day and a night.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this."

Jiang Xinghuo slapped his head and suddenly remembered the pill that could protect him from all poisons. It was not convenient to use it at home, but there happened to be a bathtub in the hotel, and it was idle and he might as well use it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo went to the bathroom, threw the anti-poison pill into the hot water, then took off all his clothes and soaked in it. The originally clear and transparent pool water soon turned emerald green, and the fragrance of medicine mixed with steam diffused in the entire bathroom.

A slight tingling sensation gradually spread throughout the body, somewhat similar to fish or insect bites, but without any pain. Instead, it felt extremely comfortable.

Jiang Xinghuo lay in the bathtub, enjoying himself while continuing to play games.

"Now that you've said goodbye to the Sky Rat, where are you planning to go next?"

"Longcheng Museum is located in the center of Longcheng. It is also the most mysterious place in Longcheng. It hides countless secrets unknown to outsiders. A night watchman once saw the collections in the museum come alive in the middle of the night."

"The Patrol House is an organization established by warlords from various places after the Dawn Night to maintain the public order of the local people. The Patrol House has played an indispensable role in making Longcheng so prosperous today."

"Wedding Wine Shop, good wine needs no bush. It is the most popular wine shop in Dragon City. The taste is sweet and refreshing. Everyone who has tasted it says it is good. Therefore, it is always in short supply and often recruits a large number of apprentices. But what is strange is that most of the selected apprentices are unmarried girls."

"Wong Tai Sin Temple is one of the main temples of the Wong Family Immortal in the north among the Five Immortals Outside the Great Wall. It has produced many disciples who are good at reading people's minds and curing diseases. Over the past few decades, it has accumulated countless incense. The immortals often show up to bless the believers."

"Fuchun Teahouses exist in every city. They originated from the Fuchun Flower Society founded by Jiangnan salt merchants hundreds of years ago. After the Dawn Night, the Fuchun Flower Society was destroyed in the war. The descendants of the salt merchants who escaped by chance rebuilt the Fuchun Teahouse. They believe that all visitors are guests, and people from all walks of life can enter. You can hear stories from any corner of the secular world here."

"The old master's oil-paper umbrella shop, the oil-paper umbrellas made by the old master, not only have delicate umbrella surface materials, but also the strongest frame, which can't be blown away by wind and can't be penetrated by rain. But for some reason, he and the owner of the wedding wine shop are sworn enemies, and they quarrel every few days."

"Sanbuguan, you can see this pawnshop in many places. They don't ask the identity or background of anyone who comes here, and they don't care whether they are dead or alive. That's why it's called Sanbuguan. It's also the most famous intelligence assassination organization in this land."

"Xikai Hutong is the most famous haunted house in Longcheng. Even in the daytime, it is filled with gloomy air. Many strange and bizarre supernatural events have occurred there."

"........."

Jiang Xinghuo was lying in the bathtub, looking at the texts that kept popping up on the screen. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The game text given this time seemed a little too detailed.

He remembered that when he first entered the game, he was only given the name of the location, and there were no detailed information at all. Only after choosing to go to a certain location, the following game text would give some vague information.

Is it...

Jiang Xinghuo flipped through the game records and noticed the line marked in red. That was the text that appeared after the integration of the Law of the World.

"It can strengthen event branch information and increase event triggering rate..."

Jiang Xinghuo finally understood the role of the laws of the world.

To put it simply, it can broaden the player's gaming horizons, allowing players to perform more detailed operations or understand more detailed content when faced with game options.
