Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 633

The Xiushui Dai family has been bullied and oppressed by Longhu Mountain in recent years. Isn't it said that the Longhu Mountain tradition is declining?

Hey, the Dai family is at a disadvantage because of their status; neither the state nor the Taoist Association recognizes them.

Although their family's private registers could communicate with heaven and earth and reach the celestial realm, they were not true immortals and were still subject to human constraints.

However, the fact that Dai Long can be seen here with Yang Jun now shows that the Dai family has seized the opportunity and joined the company.

With a company as a backer, future issues regarding one's identity can be resolved. Of course, there's a rather unorthodox saying...

Once the Lost City is established, whether the country recognizes it or not will no longer matter.

It's enough that God and the Lost City acknowledge it.

However, if the Dai family can join the company, they will surely be given important responsibilities. This will allow them to have the flexibility to advance or retreat in the future, which is the right path for the family to prosper and grow stronger.

"Hmm... what a pity."

After listening to Jin Chanzi recount the feud between the Dai family and Longhu Mountain, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

This exclamation did not refer to any particular family, but rather he was thinking of several families, including Zhao, Zhou, Yang, and Li.

He sighed with emotion for his grandfather and his brothers.

They were born at the wrong time. If these families had survived to this day, countless people would have taken advantage of the city's popularity to quickly grow and become powerful.

Given the character of Grandpa Zhao Qingming and the other families, at the very least, they will be able to protect the area.

However, it's obviously pointless to bring these things up again.

If there's one thing on my mind, it's my grandfather and the others. I wonder if those old folks have already set off. I need to speed things up.

Even if I can't help much by rushing back, at least I can see my grandfather and the others.

"Hey, this guy's awake."

At this moment, the old demon Qinghai poked his head out from outside the tent and called out to Xiao Ran.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi quickened their pace and entered the tent, where they saw that Wu Man had already opened her eyes.

"You're awake, how do you feel?"

"It's okay, but my head hurts a lot. I feel like someone is ringing a bell on my forehead."

Wu Man covered her forehead; her head was still buzzing.

Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He guessed that Wu Man had only been mentally distracted and was now suffering from a headache, which was simply due to a concussion caused by the butcher.

But you can't blame yourself for this; special circumstances require special treatment.

"How did I get here? How did you all get here? Where is this place? Why do I see what looks like soldiers outside?"

Wu Man asked a series of questions.

Xiao Ran could only patiently explain to him, and casually took out the photo of the chase that the teahouse owner had given her.

Looking at her blurry reflection in the portrait, Wu Man immediately understood and sneered, "I've been caught off guard. I never expected Changchun to have such a way of casting spells."

Given Wu Man's strength, even if he broke the barrier and took action himself, he could still escape unscathed.

He never expected that he would be ambushed by the Jade Thief. Although the ambush failed, the Jade Thief stole some of his hair.

This is bad news. The Changchun Society is full of crooked and evil tricks. With these things, they could easily cast a curse on Wu Man.

This caused Wu Man to lose control. As for why she transformed into a pig, it was because the rolling dragon form had the strongest resistance. So when Wu Man's consciousness was blurred, she instinctively used the transformation technique.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll settle this score for you later."

Xiao Ran said sincerely.

Wu Man and Changchun Society actually had no grudge against each other, but because of her own actions, she was dragged into the troubles of Changchun Society, and Xiao Ran still felt quite guilty about it.

"What are you saying? Working for your own business, what's so hard about it?"

Wu Man rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran: "You're not going to go back on your word, are you?"

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up: "So, you agree?"

"Before, we were worried about the Changchun meeting, but now what are we worried about? Kill these bastards." Wu Man's eyes flashed with a ferocious light, clearly indicating that there was no room for negotiation between them this time.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

Xiao Ran could barely suppress the smile on her face.

He had wanted to recruit Wu Man before, but the guy was hesitant and refused no matter what. But now that he had been beaten up by the Changchun Gang, he had come to his senses.

If I had known this would happen, I would have sent Wu Man to get a beating from the Changchun Society much earlier.

"And what's with the soldiers outside?"

At this moment, Wu Man took the opportunity to inquire about the soldiers in military uniforms outside.

"By the company, I also want to inform you on behalf of the company that the warrant for your arrest has been temporarily lifted, but only temporarily. You've been moved to the gray list, so you'd better be more reliable in the future. We'll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate with the company in the future."

Xiao Ran looked at Wu Man and added, "I am your guarantor. If you continue to commit crimes, I will also suffer the consequences."

"Heh, looks like I've gotten a great deal. But you're quite something to get the company to make concessions. Tell me, what's the price?"

"It's not really a price to pay, just a favor," Xiao Ran explained Yang Jun's request.

Yang Jun's requirements weren't actually that high. He only needed one thing: the [Warrior Mask]. In addition, he needed equipment that could enhance attributes without needing to be activated.

Yang Jun hoped that while these items would satisfy his transactions with Donglongfang, he could also sell a batch to himself, the more the better.

Of course, it's not just the [Warrior Mask]. He buys as much of any equipment that can enhance attributes and doesn't require activation, and at high prices.

"Oh, I see. Hey, your business looks very promising. You haven't even officially opened yet, and orders are already pouring in. Hurry up and get ready to open; I can't wait!"

"It will happen soon. We can start preparing once we enter the Lost City."

Not only was Wu Man anxious, but Xiao Ran was also anxious. The Amazing Pavilion was already prepared, and the goods were being received by their junior brothers, including Chong Shan.

Now, all Xiao Ran needs to do is connect the two, and the business of Amazing Pavilion can officially begin.

With the support of Amazing Pavilion, I can now focus on advancing to 3C.

After the paper maker and the barber are promoted, the tricks of the Changchun Association will no longer be a concern for them.

After chatting for a while, Wu Man became more and more energetic and started sniffing the air. Finally, her gaze turned to the golden toad, and her eyes lit up.

"Who is this brother?"

"Jin Chanzi can be considered our partner. After we settle things at the Amazing Pavilion, I plan to go out with him."

"Oh, that's how it is."

When Wu Man heard that it was a partner, his face immediately showed great disappointment. The moment he saw the golden toad, he had even planned out how many cold dishes to make.

Jin Chanzi also noticed that Wu Man's gaze was strange. His lips twitched, and he quickly took two steps back.

Once Wu Man had recovered sufficiently, Xiao Ran found him a change of clothes, and then the four of them walked out of the tent.

After saying hello to Yang Jun, Xiao Ran didn't linger and headed straight for the Lost City.

Dai Long was among the entourage.

On the way, Jin Chanzi didn't explain anything to Dai Long, but Dai Long always seemed hesitant to speak, as if he was still feeling awkward.

"Aren't you going to talk to him?"

Seeing Dai Long following behind with his head down, Xiao Ran looked at Jin Chanzi and asked him in her mind.

"What's there to explain? I had no grudge against him. He can't resolve this issue himself, so what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing that Jin Chanzi wasn't going to explain at all, Xiao Ran decided to stop getting involved.

He turned to Dai Long and asked, "Dai Long, if I'm planning to build a few bus stops, can the company help with that?"

"No problem, the company will arrange any materials you need."

"Ha, that's great."

"But... I don't understand why you want to build a bus stop?"

Dai Long looked at Xiao Ran with a puzzled expression.

"It will definitely be more convenient to have a bus station when we settle in Ruzhou. We can't keep that place blocked off forever."

Xiao Ran certainly wouldn't tell Dai Long about her special mission of building the bus station.

Once the bus station is built, I can easily see all the information of everyone who gets off the bus here. This is a privilege that my older brother fought for for me, so of course I can't let outsiders know.

The group walked along the mountain path for less than half an hour before arriving at the boundary marker of the Lost City.

After crossing the boundary marker.

The surrounding environment began to change rapidly.

What came into view was a mountain full of withered branches, yellow soil and dry grass, and even the smell of decay in the air.

This is a completely different style from when Xiao Ran first came here.

"It's all Changchun's doing. It's a good thing they didn't build that plague pool, otherwise the plague would be rampant by now."

Looking at the changes around her, Wu Man reached out and gently grabbed at the plants, a cloud of gray mist coming into her hand.

This is the corrupt atmosphere created by Changchun. If the plague pool is successfully completed, this corrupt atmosphere will spread wildly around like a computer virus, carrying various plagues. At that time, this maze city will probably become a barren wasteland.

"Don't worry, they probably don't have the capability to do this anymore."

Xiao Ran sneered and told Wu Man about how she had destroyed Changchun Hospital.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and took out the remaining four medicine pouches and handed them to Wu Man.

"This is the No. 3 potion concentrate that the Ghost Doctor painstakingly produced. I've already taken it once, and the effect was good. The rest is up to you. See how you can make use of it."

Although Wu Man is not a doctor, she is certainly capable of taking these things to a new level.

Sure enough, Wu Man's eyes lit up when she saw the medicine pouches: "These are good stuff. You can rest assured leaving them to me."

Wu Man happily put away the potion, indicating that he could use this medicine pouch to create a unique spice for Xiao Ran and the others, with effects that would definitely not be much worse than any No. 3 potion.

As they were talking, the four of them suddenly stopped. Xiao Ran looked eastward in confusion: "Over there!"

"Speak," the four of them quickly disappeared into the bushes. Before long, they heard a procession approaching from afar, accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums.

As the procession marched, they sang: "Golden Immortal, Silver Immortal, eat all the children in the world first, quickly steam the boys and girls into cakes, dip them in the blood of midnight, and add the salt of dawn..."
