My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 131 Red Lantern Street
Four hours later.

The shop owner Jiang threw away the things in his hand in a rage.

He was clearly following the steps recorded in Tiangong Yipian, but what he produced looked weird no matter how he looked at it.

Don't even mention selling it.

Even if you give it away for free, people might complain that it takes up space.

Simply.

Jiang Xinghuo stopped fiddling with it and took out his phone to continue playing the game. The cool-down time was up.

The game starts.

Lines of text flashed out.

"You awakened at the shrine in the Great Temple."

"You saw the old priest of the Great Temple."

"The old temple keeper helped you up from the ground. He saw that you looked very pale and seemed to be malnourished, so he gave you a bottle of small yellow pill."

"This is a pill made by the old temple priest himself. It has the effect of restoring vitality. Do you want to accept this pill?"

"You accepted this bottle of medicine."

"You have obtained, Little Yellow Pill x 10."

"Small Yellow Pill (common item), a pill developed by the old priest of the Grand Sacrifice Temple according to the secret recipe of the palace. It has the effect of restoring qi and blood and replenishing physical strength. Effect of use: restore physical strength for 4 hours."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw the text description, his eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that he would meet a good person again. With this bottle of small yellow pill in hand, he would have ten more chances to restart without having to wait for the cooling time.

However, I have no relationship with this old temple priest, so why would he give me this bottle of elixir?
Is there any subsequent plot triggering?

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to circle around the Great Temple several times.

No relevant plot was ever triggered.

Jiang Xinghuo no longer paid any attention to it. If there was any follow-up, the other party would naturally come to him on their own.

"You left the Great Temple and looked at the prosperous and bustling Kanto City. Where are you going to go today?"

"..."

"Just take a quick look and stroll around."

"Not going anywhere, just rest here for a while."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the large number of options listed on the screen and randomly selected a sub-map called Red Lantern Street.

"You chose to go to Red Lantern Street."

"This is a famous place for entertainment in Guandong City. You can find wine shops, gambling houses, brothels, theaters, and opium dens here. As long as you want to have fun, you can find them all here."

"You are walking on the street illuminated by lights. Because the remains of the underground palace left by Lord Qingnang have been discovered, there are many more outsiders in Guandong City recently."

"You see a corpse driver from Xiangxi, surrounded by a dozen armored corpses, walking slowly down the street, but you can't get close to him at all."

"You continued walking forward, and you met Leopard Head Mountain Lord under the command of Luofu Mountain God."

"Because you didn't dodge in time, you crashed into the Leopard Head Mountain King's vehicle, so he grabbed your legs and smashed you to death."

"You used the Little Yellow Pill to revive on the spot, then took out the Seven Star Sword and stabbed Leopard Head Mountain Lord from behind."

"Leopard Head Mountain Lord was caught off guard and was stabbed right through by you on the spot."

"You have killed Leopard Head Mountain Lord."

"You gain incense +500."

"You are being watched by the Luofu Mountain God."

"When you step into Luofu Mountain, all the monsters in the mountain will attack you."

"Do you want to touch the corpse of Leopard Head Mountain Lord?"

"You went forward and turned over the corpse of the Leopard Head Mountain King, and searched it carefully, and gained something." "You obtained the Great Monument Smasher."

"Great Stone Smasher (Excellent Skill), a skill created by Leopard Head Mountain Lord based on his own physical characteristics. It can instantly unleash several times the strength of his own body."

“Do you want to learn this skill?”

Jiang Xinghuo didn't hesitate and clicked on "Learn" directly, and then the game text changed.

"You have learned the Great Stone Smasher."

"After testing, your Great Stone Smashing Hand can be integrated with the "Strangling the Tiger to Save the Father" to upgrade each other. Do you want to integrate them?"

There are quite a lot of tricks, Jiang Xinghuo thought to himself, and chose the fusion upgrade to see what kind of sparks would be created.

“The two merged successfully.”

"You have obtained the Tiger Roaring Mountain Map."

"Tiger Roaring Mountain Suppressing Map (rare), can instantly burst out more than ten times the strength of the body, and will not cause any damage to the body, duration: 5 minutes."

Jiang Xinghuo was looking at the game text when he suddenly felt the back of his hand getting hot. He looked down and saw that the picture of strangling a tiger to save his father had unknowingly transformed into a picture of a tiger roaring to suppress the mountain.

It’s okay. Although it’s only five minutes, it’s enough to turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory if used at the critical moment.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at other things again.

"You got it, the tiger mask."

"Tiger Mask (Excellent Item), a mask formed by the Leopard-Headed Mountain King with the help of the power of the Luofu Mountain God. Wearing it on your face can perfectly replicate the physical qualities of a tiger and gain some of the authority of the Mountain God."

These are the only valuable things.

The remaining objects are all ordinary and inconspicuous materials.

Jiang Xinghuo made a simple selection and hung all the things on the niche.

"You continue to wander around Red Lantern Street."

"You see a drunkard on the corner of the street. He is already very drunk and is sleeping at the entrance of the alley. What are you going to do?"

"Should I go over and steal the incense in its pocket, or wake it up and give it two big slaps, or just kill it, or take off all the clothes on its body while it is unconscious..."

Jiang Xinghuo laughed and thought that this text was interesting. The other person didn't provoke you or offend you, but you just came up and wanted to strip his clothes. How immoral.

It was just a small incident, and Jiang Xinghuo ignored it, pretending not to see the drunkard and continued walking forward.

"You found the chestnut seller."

"The white-haired chestnut seller carries a bamboo basket and walks up to you from the street. The aroma of chestnuts fills your nose and makes you salivate with desire."

"You want to buy some sugar-roasted chestnuts."

"But the chestnut seller said she doesn't accept donations. If you want to eat chestnuts, you can only exchange your life or organs for them."

"You heard this and wanted to leave."

"But the chestnut seller grabbed your arm tightly and said that since you asked, you must buy her chestnuts, otherwise she would do it herself."

"You got into a fight with the chestnut seller in the street."

"But you found out that the chestnut-selling woman was extremely powerful and you were no match for her, so you turned around and ran away."

"You ran into a maze of alleys and used the complex terrain to escape the chestnut-selling woman's pursuit."

"This alley is crowded and scattered, with two small narrow doors opened at regular intervals on the left and right walls."

"You walked into a dark, damp alley."

"Normal people would usually stay away from such a bad environment. I don't know what's wrong with you today that you chose such a shabby place."

"Of course, maybe it's because you saw the red lanterns hanging in the dark alley and the plump, white thigh behind the door."
