Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 229: Rokuki Castle

Xu Wang looked back and found that it was a wastelander who was not too old.

The little boy looked to be about ten years old.

Just consider the lack of nutrition in the wasteland, which causes most of the children to be stunted.

The little boy might actually be a little older.

"It's you!"

When Xu Wang saw the boy's appearance clearly, his eyes widened instantly, and he turned around abruptly, his face full of shock and disbelief!
The little boy was startled and took a step back cautiously, then looked at Xu Wang with some doubt: "Do you know me?"

Xu Wang shook his head: "I don't know him."

The little boy was speechless for a moment.

You made me so jumpy even though I didn't know you. He was so scared that he almost ran away.

Xu Wang said seriously: "You suddenly appeared, and I thought you recognized me as your long-lost father and came here to recognize me as your relative."

Hearing this, the little boy unconsciously took two steps back.

Due to the harsh living environment, there are many people with mental problems in the wasteland, but most of them have some physical defects and are not very harmful.

But Xu Wang can't do that.

He was clean and tall and strong.

When the disease breaks out, the damage is even greater.

Normally, if he encountered this, the little boy would definitely avoid it.

To prevent the other person from suddenly falling ill and killing himself.

But the situation today was a little special, and Xu Wang was still wearing the shelter uniform.

Everyone in the wasteland knows that people coming out of the shelter usually have good things on them.

He is definitely a big money sponsor.

The little boy is young and can't do much, and he's in urgent need of money, so he really doesn't want to miss it.

The resident of the shelter in front of him mistook him for his son. Maybe he had a son before he went crazy.

If you just go along with what he says, maybe you'll get along better with him.

The little boy suddenly forced a smile, hugged Xu Wang's thigh, and shouted: "Dad! I am your long-lost son! I finally found you!"

The little boy felt that he had given enough.

This resident of the shelter who lost his son at an early age was so moved that he burst into tears.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wang's face was full of disgust. He raised his legs and shook them, pushing the little boy away: "Little boy, you got the wrong person. I'm not your father. Don't be crazy."

The little boy who was thrown to the ground looked at the sky with an expressionless face.

He suddenly didn't want to do Xu Wang's business anymore.

I've heard that it's difficult to do business as a psychopath, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

It doesn't work if you speak in the direction you want or speak against the direction you want.

He might as well just lie down.

Xu Wang also lay down next to the little boy, crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the sky: "I'm Xu Wang, the leader of Bing Town, the strongest wasteland hunter in Liumu City, what's your name?"

The little boy was a little tired, but he still answered weakly: "My name is Su Cao."

Xu Wang raised an eyebrow: "Grass? What a good name!"

Su Cao added: "My mother thinks weeds have strong vitality and she is afraid that I will die."

Xu Wang: "Your mother is quite nice. You said before that you could take me to Liumu City? Do you have any requirements for entering Liumu City?"

Hearing Xu Wang talking about this, Su Cao instantly became energetic. He sat up and turned to look at Xu Wang: "Yes, do you want to go? I only want 50 coins, and I will definitely take you into the city!"

Seeing that Xu Wang didn't say anything, Su Cao knew that his bid was a bit high, so he lowered the price: "30! No more than 20 pieces, it can't be any lower."

Xu Wang knew that most people in the wasteland could only earn about 10 coins after a busy day.

This income can probably satisfy a wastelander's minimum food and clothing needs.

20 coins is definitely not a small amount.

But Xu Wang didn't know how difficult it was to enter the city. He didn't care about the money, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he said, "Be my guide again and introduce Liumu City to me. I will give you a total of 10 coins."

From 50 coins, it dropped to 10.

Su Cao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, you give me a deposit of 3 first."

Xu Wang took out three coins and threw them to Su Cao. The little boy quickly caught them and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Wang stood up, crossed his arms and said proudly: "I am a smart man known as the God of Calculation in the Jianghu. No one can make money from me that exceeds its value."

Su Cao was a little helpless, but what else could she say to the sponsor? She could only nod repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are right."

The little boy originally just came out to pick up trash to sell for money.

Unexpectedly, after walking around a building, I saw Xu Wang looking into the distance.

Originally the little boy wanted to leave immediately.

But after noticing Xu Wang's identity as a resident of the shelter, and thinking of his sick friend at home, he hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to come up and talk to Xu Wang.

Although the financial sponsor's mental state was beyond expectations.

But no matter what, I can at least make some money from him.

Then the risk won't be in vain.

"Go this way."

Su Cao led the way in front.

"That's rude. You should say sir, please come this way."

Xu Wang put himself in the role of a wealthy landlord and walked with an air of superiority.

Upon hearing this, Su Cao immediately changed his tone: "Uncle, please come this way, be careful of the stones under your feet."

Seeing the boy suddenly become humble, Xu Wang shook his head again and said with compassion: "What evil oppression! It's so hard for ordinary people like us to earn a little money."

Su Cao was speechless again.

He felt that the resident of this shelter was very inconsistent and seemed to be seriously ill.

This guy won’t bite, right?

Xu Wang walked to Su Cao and put his arm around his thin shoulders. It was almost winter, and the little boy's clothes didn't look very thick.

However, Xu Wang did not say much, but just asked: "Tell me first, how to enter the city, do I need a pass?"

Su Cao shook his head: "You need a resident card. Anyone without a resident card cannot live in Liumu City. Once you stay for more than 24 hours, you will be driven away and arrested by the guards."

Xu Wang keenly grasped the information between Su Cao's words and immediately asked, "Wait, when you take me into the city, are you going to use the resident card to enter the city, or is it a 24-hour time limit to enter the city?"

Su Cao said as a matter of course: "It must be limited to 24 hours. How can I help you get a resident card with 10 coins? That thing is very valuable! The number of resident cards is limited, and each one can be sold for at least a thousand coins."

Xu Wang asked again: "If that's the case, what about 24-hour access? Are there any requirements for this as well?"

Su Cao nodded: "This requires a resident of Liumu City to collect it on his behalf, or to authenticate it."

Hearing this, Xu Wang looked at the little boy in surprise.

I thought he was just a displaced little boy from the wasteland, but unexpectedly, he had such an outstanding identity.

Just by bringing people to sell passes, you can make a lot of money in a year, right?

Why does it look so shabby?
Su Cao may have guessed what Xu Wang was thinking, and he continued, "Ordinary people are not allowed to bring people in and out of Liumu City at will. This business is owned by the municipal government. If you want to enter the city, you can also find them, but they charge 100 coins."

Xu Wang understood now.

It turns out it was monopolized.

It seems that this little brat Su Cao is quite brave.

This kind of business will definitely be severely cracked down on, as will the existence of Sucao.

In a world like the wasteland, once you are discovered, you will probably die.

If you think about it this way, someone with a resident ID card would definitely not risk their life to do this for a few dozen coins.

It seems that he is really short of money.

Xu Wang became more interested in Liumu Castle now.

They were all in the pre-war Rokuki City area.

But after two hundred years, Liumu City, Bing Town and Duobao Town have each developed completely different ecosystems. Follow Su Cao forward.

Before reaching Liumu City, Xu Wang summoned out the three enhanced light balls obtained in the previous world.

I plan to strengthen myself.

First is the [AI Lord].

This thing is a strong artificial intelligence without self-will, but it can serve as an auxiliary to Xu Wang.

Artificial intelligence has its uses in many worlds.

It can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Wang naturally strengthened it on his personal terminal.

There is no more suitable carrier than a personal terminal.

Then comes the [turn-based battle]

This enhancement takes up the intelligence enhancement position.

After using the skill, you can select any enemy or friendly target and force into a turn-based battle.

For every 5 points of intelligence, you can take a turn-based action.

The enemy and our team share the same number of turns, and speed determines who takes the first move.

This skill looked very interesting, so Xu Wang strengthened it decisively.

Now, he prefers interesting and fun skills rather than enhanced skill strength.

Therefore, Xu Wang cannot miss the last enhancement [Change your key position].

It occupies the Perception Enhancement slot.

After selecting a target, you can change the opponent's action key.

The duration of the effect varies depending on the attribute difference between the enemy and us, but it is definitely fun.

For example, Xu Wang can change and swap the "key positions" for someone to speak and fart.

Then, every time the person whose key position has been changed wants to speak, his mouth will not move at all, and he will start to fart instead.

Your mouth only makes a sound when you want to fart.

This is what it means to talk like a fart.

This is another skill that is both practical and playable.

This made Xu Wang very happy.

Wait until the death rewards obtained in the previous world are distributed.

Su Cao happened to bring Xu Wang to the vicinity of Liumu City.

Just like what Xu Wang saw before traveling to the world of The Matrix, there was a large gathering area surrounding the outskirts of Rokuki City.

It can be seen that Rokuki Castle was originally a commercial center.

Before the war, there was only a large circle of parking lots and squares outside the commercial center.

But now, the originally empty square has been surrounded by various large and small buildings built by the wastelanders during the two hundred years of the wasteland.

At first glance, Xu Wang almost thought he was back in Kowloon Walled City.

However, there are not so many residents here.

The land in the wasteland was also spacious enough, so they did not build very tall buildings.

It looks more like a series of tin shanties.

It is somewhat similar to the slums that Xu Wang saw on the Internet.

When Su Cao and Xu Wang passed through, many wastelanders sitting outside the sheds cast their eyes towards them.

Especially Xu Wang.

His blue shelter uniform was too conspicuous here.

But for the time being, no one came up to cause trouble for them.

Su Cao seemed to be very familiar with this place and took Xu Wang to avoid crowded places.

"Who are these people?"

Xu Wang asked curiously.

Su Cao said: "There are all kinds of people, wastelanders, wasteland hunters, missionaries, even plunderers, and your compatriots, the residents of the shelter."

"A shelter resident?"

Xu Wang was now interested.

Su Cao nodded: "They are called refuge residents, but their living conditions are very different. Some people are bought and sold as slaves, and some are even slave sellers.

The wasteland is different from your shelter. Once you come to the wasteland, you will be transformed by it. Aren't you also turned into a psychopath by the wasteland?"

Xu Wang's eyes widened immediately: "Fuck! Who are you calling crazy? I'm just more active mentally."

Su Cao stopped talking. The closer he got to the gate of Liumu Castle, the more nervous he became.

At this time, he no longer cared about what Xu Wang said.

Because it was originally a shopping mall, Liumu Castle actually had more than a dozen entrances and exits at the beginning.

That is to facilitate customers to enter and exit.

But with the coming of the wasteland, the mall was transformed into Rokuki Castle.

For the sake of safety and management, only four gates are left: east, south, west and north.

People from the City Hall usually station people guarding the four gates.

Su Cao wanted to bring Xu Wang in.

You have to get past them.

Walk to the west gate.

Su Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a tall, fat man with a pot belly.

The whole person relaxed instantly.

"Okay, let's go in. If you have any questions, you can ask them now. After I take you in, the commission will be over."

Su Cao turned her head and looked at Xu Wang.

Xu Wang thought about it, and finally asked curiously: "Where can a wasteland hunter like me find commissions?"

Hearing this question, Su Cao was even more surprised: "So you just want to find a commission? Then there is no need to enter Liumu City. There are many places outside the city where you can receive commissions. Those wasteland hunters gather here for this reason.

However, if you are confident in your own abilities, you can go directly to the Sanfan Tavern after entering the city.

Although they are not the only ones in the city who can accept commissions, they are relatively honest in doing business.

Most of the commissions that can be received outside the city are outsourced from the city."

"The Third Tavern! I'm familiar with this one!"

Xu Wang had heard from the bartender in Bing Town before that they had branches in Liumu City and Duobao Town.

Now it seems that they have quite a big business.

"As long as you know."

Su Cao nodded and said, "Okay, now I'll take you into the city. Don't talk later."

As he spoke, Su Cao forced a smile and walked towards the burly and fat guard.

Gon turned his head and saw Su Cao, and then saw the unfamiliar blue hamster behind him, and instantly knew what was going on.

There was no communication between the two parties.

But after Xu Wang approached, Ghosn waved at Xu Wang, asked Xu Wang to raise his hand, and stamped a blue stamp on the back of his left hand.

"After 24 hours, this thing will turn red. If you are still in the city and are found, you will go to jail."

Fat Ghosn waved his hand, signaling Xu Wang and the others to go into the city.

Xu Wang looked at the back of his hand, followed Su Cao into the huge building, and asked again: "Where is your home?"

Su Cao sighed: "My home is outside the city, and the room in the city has been given to that Gon just now."
