My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 489 Something happened...

"You have arrived at the residence of the followers of the Five Grains Reincarnation."

"This is also at the end of a dead end in Wuyou Cave. The iron gate outside is covered with stains and rust, and is tightly locked with an iron chain as thick as an arm. Do you want to go over and unlock the door and take a look inside?"

"You walk to the iron gate and look inside. You see that it is dark ahead. It seems that there is a twisting corner that blocks your view. You can only vaguely see some faint light and there seems to be rustling noises coming from it."

"Do you want to unlock the door?"

The game gave two options: open or give up. Jiang Xinghuo would not choose the latter. After opening the magic bag and finding the Seven Treasures Key, he controlled the game character to open the chain on the iron gate.

"You pushed open the iron gate and walked in. Unlike the dirt and stains outside, the floor inside has obviously been specially treated. Not only is there not a single stain left, but it also exudes a light fragrance that perfectly covers up the dirty smell outside."

Although Jiang Xinghuo had never been to Wuyou Cave in person, he felt much more comfortable after reading the description in the text. After all, no one would want to walk around with those relics.

"You walked on the dry ground, passed the corner in front, and saw the simplified version of the Grain Reincarnation House behind the corner."

“The construction of the Five Grain Samsara House is extremely complicated, and the materials required are also extraordinary. Even if the Lord of the Five Grain Samsara spreads the blueprints, there are only a few disciples who can actually collect enough materials to build the Five Grain Samsara House.”

“So, some smart believers found another way and created a simplified version of the Five Grains Samsara House. Although it is not as good as the real Five Grains Samsara House, it has all the necessary things.”

"You have walked into the simple Grain Reincarnation House. Do you want to explore it immediately?"

“You have gained something after some exploration.”

"You have obtained a fluorite mica (rare), a sound recording stone (excellent), a book on the essence of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique (excellent), and a germ collection bottle (excellent)."

There aren't many things found here, only a few kinds, but the quality doesn't seem to be low, at least there are no ordinary materials or props.

"Fluorite mica (rare material), originating from the fluorite mine in the northwest, contains extremely strong light particles. It can continuously release light without energy. It has a special ability: development."

"Development: Under the illumination of fluorite light, all invisibility methods below rare quality will immediately become ineffective. After being irradiated by light particles, the genes in the body will also change, and it will be impossible to regain the ability to master the ineffective method."

After reading the description in this text, Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and thought that this was a good thing. Not only could it make the invisibility spell ineffective, but it could also destroy the opponent's spell.

However, this stone also has a weakness, which is that it is ineffective against spells of rare quality and above. But think about it, it is reasonable. Spells and props of rare quality and above, whether in the game or in reality, can be regarded as high-end goods, and they all have extraordinary origins and origins. If the corresponding abilities are restrained by a stone, it would be too worthless.

Jiang Xinghuo put the stone away and looked at the remaining things.

"Sound Recording Stone (Excellent Item), a kind of stone that can store sounds. It also comes from the mines in the northwest. Other than that, it has no other functions. It can neither be used to refine elixirs nor to strengthen equipment. Its only feature is that it can store sound data without limit, and the stored content can be mobilized at will."

Jiang Xinghuo took the thing out and took a look. It was a black stone about the size of an egg. The surface was a bit similar to volcanic rock, but the sound it made was completely incomprehensible to Jiang Xinghuo. It did not belong to any language he knew.

Is it a language unique to this world?
Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but ponder it in his mind, but he had no clue now. It would be a waste of time even if he continued to ponder. He simply put the stone away and study it later when he had time.

"The Essence of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique (Excellent Item). The Five Grains Reincarnation Technique is a required spell for all Five Grains Reincarnation believers. This Five Grains Reincarnation believer is no exception. After years of dedicated research here, he has gained some experience, which can help practitioners avoid many unnecessary detours."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose no without hesitation. Last time, he found the skill book of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique in the Five Grains Reincarnation House in the Yellow River Underground Palace. However, he was too poor at practicing this spell at that time, so he ignored it and threw it directly on the niche and hung it there. As a result, it was bought by someone in less than a moment.

Now, I got another similar prop skill book, so naturally I had no interest in practicing it, so I just threw it on the niche like last time.

As a result, it was bought by someone else in less than twenty minutes.

…………

The conference room of the Poll Bureau, Binhai headquarters.

In the conference room today, the leaders of various action groups of the Public Opinion Research Bureau's Binhai Headquarters and several leaders from Kyoto were meeting around the table. The main content of the meeting was to discuss how to govern the idle players in society.

The polling bureau currently has around 200 players recruited from all over the country, and the scale is still expanding uninterruptedly. However, the number of players discovered in society is about to break the 500 mark. If some unknown game players are included, the number may even double.

After all, China is a vast country with limited manpower and equipment, and it is impossible to observe everything comprehensively.

The Public Opinion Survey Bureau is now able to recruit so many players, relying on an epic-quality Tianmu Monster, connected to the satellite in the outer space orbit, to detect abnormal changes in the power of the entire country.

However, the props and skills in the secular world are so strange and varied that even with the Tianmu demon and satellite monitoring, it is difficult to discover all the players on this land.

Moreover, in order to avoid the phenomenon of "imbalance", the players in each group within the Public Opinion Survey Bureau are managed in a decentralized manner, with the maximum number of players not exceeding seven, and they are distributed as evenly as possible within the city. Unless they receive orders on a daily basis, they will try not to interfere in matters outside their own area.

In addition, each branch of the polling bureau is prohibited from sharing any resources other than information with each other.

If resources cannot be exchanged with each other, then even with the support of the country, it will be difficult to establish a clear advantage in a short period of time in dealing with the secrets and monsters in the secular world.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. In the early days of its establishment, the Public Opinion Survey Bureau had a major incident that almost caused a big upheaval due to management issues. If the higher-ups had not acted decisively and resolved the chaos with overwhelming force, who knows what would have happened now.

Several chiefs and leaders were discussing related matters. Zhao Dapeng, who came with Jiang Miaozhen, was sitting in a chair and dozing off with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate, and there was new message in the game.

"You have triggered the Five Grains Reincarnation Order on your body, and detected that there are props related to the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation on the shelf above the niche of Fuchun Teahouse. Do you want to go to Fuchun Teahouse to buy them immediately?"

As soon as Zhao Dapeng saw the content of the text, he immediately became alert and teleported directly to Fuchun Teahouse.

"You have arrived at Fuchun Teahouse."

"You enter the niche shop and find a book called 'The Essence of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique'. Do you want to buy it immediately?"

"Incense required: 1000."

Zhao Dapeng looked at the number of incense sticks he had and bought it without hesitation.

This will be of great help to him in improving his strength. Even if he has to borrow some incense, he has to buy this item. "You have lost, incense -1000."

"You have obtained the essence of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique."

"Do you want to use this item right away?"

Zhao Dapeng chose yes.

"You have used the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique."

"Learning spells, please wait..."

"You have mastered the essence of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique."

Zhao Dapeng closed his eyes, feeling the extra memories in his mind, and soon mastered and understood them.

"My attainments in the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique have improved a lot..."

Zhao Dapeng opened his eyes excitedly, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.

Three months ago, when he was exploring the secular world, he accidentally obtained a Five Grains Reincarnation Order, and it became deeply bound to himself, and no means could take it away from him.

From then on, as long as the niches of the major forces in the secular world have things related to the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation, whether it is props or spells, he will get a prompt at the first time, and can be teleported to the corresponding place without restrictions to buy it in the niche.

Besides.

When he explores the secular world, he will also trigger additional plots and tasks related to the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation. In short, there are many benefits and almost no disadvantages.

Zhao Dapeng was thinking about these things when the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. A middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked in from outside and sat at the main seat at the conference table. He said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, a patient from a mental hospital in Xiangxi killed the doctors and nurses on duty at night and escaped from the mental hospital. Although some of them were captured, many are still missing..."

…………

Morning, six o'clock.

Jiang Xinghuo was enjoying the beef noodles in his hand. Looking at the profits from selling the essence of the Five Grains Reincarnation Technique, he almost choked on the chili oil in the noodles.

He thought the things were selling very quickly. Within twenty minutes of putting the item up for sale, it was sold out without even bargaining. But he was happy with it. If it were before, he would not have cared so much about incense. However, after he got the "Secret of Incense", he changed his mind.

The power of the "money-throwing method" is closely related to the number of incense sticks consumed. The more incense sticks consumed, the stronger the power exerted.

If he really used this method of throwing money around, the incense sticks in his hand would not be enough for him to waste.

Finally, only the germ collection bottle was left.

Jiang Xinghuo was not unfamiliar with this thing, because he originally had this prop, but it was later destroyed by Dianhuo. The bacteria stored in it could be used as material for upgrading the Five Grains Reincarnation Body.

While eating noodles, Jiang Xinghuo also complained about the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation. He said that the other party was a typical bad namer. No matter what it was, as long as he researched it, the name would be Five Grains Reincarnation + XXX.

So far there seems to be no exception. It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad, but it’s quite worry-free and simple. You can tell who it belongs to at a glance.

After breakfast, Jiang Xinghuo rested for a while and then continued his gaming journey.

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Would you choose to wander around in this dark and dark Wuyou Cave in Guifan Tower? Or would you choose to go to the ruins of the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation according to the location marked on the map?"

The game gives two options: either wander around in the sewers or go to the ruins of the Lord of the Five Grains Cycle.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it. Since he had an exact destination, there was no need for him to rush around like a headless fly. Not only would it be time-consuming and laborious, but he might not necessarily get any benefit.

"You chose to go to the ruins left by the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation."

"You follow the location marked on the map, starting from the residence of this believer in the Five Grains Reincarnation, wading through the muddy sewage and stepping on the stains of the remains, and walk towards a deep and unknown dark passage."

"You turn around a sewage outlet connected to the outside world and find a ghost following the gap in the sewage outlet, dragging a sack from the outside. The sack keeps twisting, and there are faint sounds of a woman struggling. Do you want to go over and stop it?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes. The ghost goblin was most likely a human trafficker. He would not mind killing him a hundred times.

"You walked over and stopped the ghost. When the ghost saw you blocked its way, it couldn't help but show a fierce look on its face. It took out a machete from somewhere and chopped it down towards your front door."

"Fortunately, you were prepared. You easily grasped the blade and flicked your finger, shattering the machete in its hand. The sharp fragments flew like locusts, crushing its body in an instant."

"You have killed the demon +1."

"Ghost Goblin's Ear (8/10) quantity."

"You have obtained, Incense +200."

"Do you want to untie the sack and let the people out, or just ignore it and pretend you didn't find the sack?"

"You untied the sack and released the person inside, and it turned out to be a rich daughter."

"Through the woman's narration, you learned the other party's identity and why she was here."

"This rich girl was originally the daughter of the chief inspector of Daliang City's police station. She went to the Red Line Temple in the west of the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. She was targeted by the ghost. The ghost took advantage of the ghost's inattention and used aphrodisiac incense to knock down several of her followers and guards, and then abducted her here..."
