There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 103: Are you still so arrogant even though you don’t have government support?

As the capital of the late Shang Dynasty, Chaoge City has a long-standing reputation. It can be seen in myths and legends as well as in strange stories.

And now what is in front of us is Chaoge.

Is this the historical Chaoge or just a coincidence?
Immediately afterwards, several extraordinary people displayed their special skills. Some burned incense, some told fortunes, some played with the compass... The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing.

After some whispered exchanges, several people stepped into the legendary city of Chaoge.

Lu Yue pretended to say a few words and then followed.

Entering the city, there are houses lining both sides of the street. The architectural layout is staggered. There are both simple thatched houses and exquisite wooden structures, and there are people everywhere.

What’s even more surprising is that among this crowd there are both ancient people dressed in ancient costumes and men and women dressed in modern clothes.

Lu Yue even saw a Taicheng High School uniform on an ancient person with pigtails, with the words "Li Yue, I love you" written on it.

The impact of this scene was too strong.

Like the changes of the times, some remained in the agricultural era, some remained in the feudal period, and some evolved to modern times.

"Amitabha, have you donors just entered the ruins from outside?" A voice came from behind, it was a ragged barefoot monk.

This outfit...it's hard not to remind people of the ascetic monks in Buddhism.

Even though Lu Yue didn't know much about Buddhism, he still knew a thing or two.

This type of extraordinary person is very perverted. They train their endurance and detachment by enduring all kinds of things that ordinary people consider painful, in order to achieve spiritual freedom and liberation of the soul.

It is not known whether this method of practice is useful, but the ascetic's endurance is also well-known in the circle of extraordinary people.

"Do you think it's strange that there are so many people in the ruins?"

"The ruins are the origin of the gods and also their tombs. The gods need people to serve them, whether they are alive or dead."

"They are the people who serve the gods. They may have really lived in the ruins, but after thousands of years, how could ordinary people survive?"

"They are just projections of the rules of the ruins. They can never leave Chaoge City in their lifetime. Once they leave, they will dissipate."

"The rules of the ruins here are very magical. These ancient people who have lived for thousands of years also have their own thoughts and emotions. But you don't have to worry that these ancient people will be surprised by your appearance."

"Because the relics occasionally absorb things from the real world, they have been exposed to these things for a long time, and most of them are very open-minded and highly accepting of the outside world."

Lu Yue nodded secretly. These ancient people of the Shang Dynasty were indeed very receptive.

Because he even saw a two-story wooden building called "Yichunyuan".

It's clearly the Shang Dynasty, why is there such a strange shop?

Relying on his powerful perception, Lu Yue discovered that these ancient people were indeed neither living people nor ghosts, which was indeed quite magical.

"You mean to say these ancients are NPCs?"

"So you are a novice guide, responsible for explaining the precautions to us novices who have just entered the ruins?" A young transcendent's eyes lit up. Obviously, for him who played games, this was understandable.

The ascetic did not answer, and then a cry of surprise was heard in the distance.

"I made a fortune. I just helped the old lady home, but not only did I get a copper coin for no apparent reason, but the old lady also said that I looked like her grandson and gave me a pottery jar, which turned out to be a damaged low-level magic weapon."

"As long as we take it outside and repair it, we can sell it for hundreds of thousands." The extraordinary man hugged the pottery jar excitedly, as if he was hugging a beautiful woman.

The copper coin in his hand fell to the ground with a clink.

But the extraordinary person ignored it completely.

Someone picked it up and took a look at it and said, "This is a shellfish, but it is made of bronze. I remember... the currency circulated during the Shang Dynasty was originally some natural shellfish, but later the source of natural shellfish was unstable and could not meet the market, so it was changed to copper shellfish."

"Could this be the currency of Chaoge City?"

In line with the principle of honesty, the man returned the money to the other party.

Judging from the other party's behavior, it was obvious that he had just entered the ruins.

Sure enough, there were great gods among the ordinary people. As soon as they entered the city, the other party triggered the NPC branch quest and obtained some copper shells and damaged low-level magical weapons.

Since the concentration of spiritual energy in the ruins is not suitable for cultivation, let's look for opportunities.

Immediately, many extraordinary people around used their own skills and dispersed. Although they were not the first to arrive in Chaoge City, they were at least the first group.

If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity, you’re a bastard!

Who knows if these ancient side quests will end when they are all taken.

Lu Yue was a little curious. Just when the copper shell approached him, it caused the source energy in his mind to tremble. He originally wanted to ask the master what the copper shell was, but he found that the master had left at some point.

Now that he was here, Lu Yue decided to try triggering the NPC mission.

"Hello, grandma, do you want to cross the road?"

"Carrying water from the east to the west of the city, I only get one copper shell, that's ok... What? Carrying more than ten tons of water, and you raise seafood at home?"

"Being a waiter, you only get one copper coin for a day's work?"

"I work as a thug in Yichunyuan, but I don't get paid copper coins, and I only get to sleep?"

"..."

After half an hour.

Lu Yue's forehead was covered with black lines.

As one of the first people to enter Chaoge City, he triggered more than a dozen tasks.

To sum it up in one sentence, the pay is low, the work is high, it's troublesome, and it's harmful to your health. Some even pay monthly but talk about annual salary.

What the hell is monthly payment and annual salary?

It is clearly Chaoge from the late Shang Dynasty, but the painting style is so messy.

Moreover, these ancient people are not like those in novels, where any modern person can be stepped on and crushed by their IQ. On the contrary, they are all incredibly shrewd.

In addition, there is one very strange thing. This Chaoge City is no different from the real world. It has basic operating rules and all industries are available.

But in the huge city of Chaoge, there was not a single piece of food.

There is a vegetable market, but there is no food in it.

What is the significance of the vegetable market then?
There is nothing to eat in Yichunyuan, are you just here for fun?

What did these ancient people eat?
However, these ancient people are just projections of the rules of the relics. They will not starve to death without eating. But the only thing that is very awkward is that Chaoge City, which has all the basic rules, lacks the food industry.

It was like a piece of a puzzle was forcibly removed. Lu Yue, who hadn't figured it out, finally accepted a relatively easy task.

The owner of a blacksmith shop wanted to send something, the kind that can be delivered quickly within the city.

Cash on delivery, one copper coin.

The prices here are extremely low, and one copper shell can often buy a lot of things. This is what Lu Yue discovered in the past half hour. In most cases, it takes a whole day to earn one copper shell.

After receiving the task, Lu Yue started his journey.

It’s also a good opportunity to learn about the routes to Chaoge City.

Along the way, Lu Yue discovered that Chaoge City was quite magical.

Some people wore animal skins, some wore silk, and Lu Yue even saw a group of women fighting over a pair of black lace stockings, with expressions as if they had seen a treasure.

It is clear that outside things were attracted into the ruins and were very welcome in the eyes of the ancients, which may be an opportunity.

After three hours, Lu Yue finally found the target customer.

"Hello, this is your express delivery. Please sign for it. The seller said that you can pay for it on delivery. It costs one copper coin."

This is a separate house. The owner is a man with a face full of flesh. He looks like a butcher and is actually an ancient butcher.

The other party opened the wooden box and took out the things inside.

It was an ordinary butcher knife.

Then the butcher walked into the house and slammed the door shut.

Lu Yue knocked on the door.

"Give me money."

"What money?" the butcher shouted in a loud voice, unhappy.

Lu Yue: "Express delivery money."

"I don't want the express delivery anymore, you can take it back."

Lu Yue looked at the empty wooden box and said, "Give me the money."

"Boy, you must have come in from outside. This is Chaoge, and there are Chaoge rules. If you still want to stay here, get out before I get angry." The butcher looked ferocious.

"If you don't give me money, I will report you to the police." Lu Yue said.

"Hahahaha, kid, there are no officials here..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yue threw a heavy punch, piercing the butcher directly. Under the butcher's horrified gaze, his body gradually broke into pieces and finally turned into fragments.

He is so arrogant even though there is no government or surveillance. I have been worrying for a long time.

Lu Yue kicked the door open and went into the house to search.

I saw the copper coins on the table at a glance.

Bronze product, the same as seen before.

At this moment, he felt a palpitation in his head, and Lu Yue directly used his kidney energy to crush it.

[Source Energy +1]

Lu Yue was shocked.

This thing can actually generate source energy?

Lu Yue was overjoyed and rushed into the house to search.

As a butcher in ancient times, although his status may be low, he is definitely wealthier than other civilians. And since he looks like an old bachelor, he may have saved a lot of money.

However, Lu Yue dug three feet into the ground but did not find any bronze shells.

Living in such a big house, he actually only has one copper coin. Moreover, it is obviously the butcher's residence, but there is not a piece of meat, let alone meat, there is not even the slightest smell of blood.

After leaving the butcher's house, Lu Yue's thoughts returned to the copper shell.

How was this copper shell produced?
Suddenly Lu Yue realized something. This copper shell could not exist because of the mission. In other words, if there was no mission, the copper shell would not appear in the target house.

In order to verify his guess, Lu Yue looked around and began to climb over the wall to do some "archaeology".

After some "archaeological" work, they found no copper coins in their neighbor's house.

Although no one knows what use this copper shell has for extraordinary people, it is of great help to himself. Since entering the ruins, Lu Yue has not found any trace of ghosts, and the copper shell is the only source for now.

There are many ancient people in Chaoge City, even if not everyone can trigger the task.

But with such a base number, there is not a small number of copper coins.

Got to find a way to get it.

First of all, it is impossible to work, not in this lifetime.

The salary is low, the work is heavy, and clients are likely to go back on their word and bully honest people.

But if we kill people on a large scale, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

In this case, there is only one way to earn copper coins.

Lu Yue recalled what he saw when delivering the express. The ancient people here were quite curious about things from the outside world. This was an opportunity.

Normal extraordinary people who enter the ruins always travel light with their purpose of looking for opportunities, and they will never bring anything from the real world.

The same is true for Lu Yue.

But Zhang Yaling is different.

There was also a lot of expired food and various waste in her body bag.

Lu Yue had an idea in his mind and started looking for a busy area.

Set up a stall and sell goods!
At the same time, in the real world, Lu Yue was in his bedroom.

Zhang Yaling suddenly woke up from the bed, as if she had had a nightmare. She had a messy afro and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Oh no...my snacks..."
