Extraordinary rules descend upon the world

Chapter 5 What I Saw and Heard at the Foot of the Mountain

Changyue Mountain.

When we got back to the stone steps, it was already past eight o'clock.

It was dark, and there were no lights, but there were people everywhere, and flashlight beams were everywhere.

Seeing Chu Weiyue emerge from the woods looking travel-worn, a large crowd immediately surrounded him:

"Hey buddy, selling body-enhancing pills? 5 per pill, price negotiable, even higher for bulk orders!"

"Young man, please help me. I'm old and frail, and I can't go up the mountain at all."

"Brother, sell me one, I'll trade you my family heirloom for it."

"Are you still going into the mountains? Want to find someone to go with? How far into the mountains are you?"

"..."

Chu Weiyue felt like he was surrounded by ten thousand ducks. It was very noisy, and in the chaos, more than one person had started touching his body and backpack.

"Get out of here!"

As Chu Weiyue cursed, he reached out and grabbed the nearest burly man, then lifted and tossed him away.

The burly man flew more than ten meters before landing. This sudden scene was quite shocking, and the surroundings fell silent as everyone was momentarily stunned.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Weiyue pushed and shoved to create a gap in the crowd, stepped through, and quickly left.

"It looks like it's going to eat people."

Chu Weiyue sighed and zipped up his backpack again. What had just happened was very unpleasant.

After adjusting his mood, Chu Weiyue descended the mountain with light steps, still encountering various "purchasing" and "begging" along the way...

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, and walking for a while longer, Chu Weiyue stopped for the first time:

A young man of similar age, thin as a skeleton, pale-faced, with no trace of blood in his lips, was wearing a hospital gown from the First People's Hospital and sat listlessly on a small stool.

Beside him was an elderly man, dressed in extremely simple clothes, kneeling on the ground, gazing longingly at the crowds coming and going.

Chu Weiyue was momentarily stunned. The old man's image and demeanor reminded him of his grandfather who had passed away four years ago.

His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his grandfather.

  

Chu Weiyue approached and glanced at the contents of the cardboard in front of the old man.

It's a very cliché story: a grandfather and grandson depend on each other for survival. The grandson has bone cancer, and the grandfather is old and poor. He has no way to find or buy any health-enhancing pills, so he begs a kind person to give him one.

Chu Weiyue asked, "How did you get here from the First Hospital? It's quite a long way."

Upon hearing the voice, the old man looked up, glanced blankly for a moment, then perked up and said, "It's a family member of another patient who took pity on us, grandfather and grandson."

"They said the people here might have extra body-strengthening pills, and asked if we were willing to try our luck, maybe they could save Xiao Kai from death."

"Of course we were willing, and then he drove us over."

Chu Weiyue nodded, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them.

After all, there are just too many similar cases of "playing the victim" around us.

Under the expectant gazes of the old man and Xiao Kai, Chu Weiyue reached into his bag, took out a body-strengthening pill, and stuffed it directly into Xiao Kai's mouth.

Seeing Chu Weiyue's actions, the old man became overjoyed, tears streaming down his face, and began kowtowing in gratitude, muttering words of thanks.

Chu Weiyue waved his hand: "No, consider it a sale to you. You'll have to pay me back when you become successful."

After saying that, seeing that the old man's commotion had attracted a lot of attention, Chu Weiyue tidied his schoolbag and left quickly.

After walking about two hundred meters, a man was handing out flyers, and Chu Weiyue also received one.

Seeing that Chu Weiyue was looking at it carefully, the man with the flyer explained, "Young man, it's all true, not nonsense."

"Of course, it's not free."

"The donations from all sides can be used to purchase each body-strengthening pill for 3 yuan."

Chu Weiyue quickly finished reading the contents of the flyer:

Based on the idea of ​​"not putting all your eggs in one basket" and "just in case," some people voluntarily gave up activating the panel after receiving orders from their superiors. Most of them were professors and scholars.

The man distributing the flyers continued, "They don't have the control panel, so they definitely don't need the body-strengthening pills, but their family members who activate the control panel do."

"If conditions permit, we still hope that at least one member of each of their families can continue playing the Extraordinary Path game."

"This is also the original intention behind our action."

Chu Weiyue asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"I can understand why some people voluntarily give up activating the panel."

"But who knows if you're using their name to line your own pockets?"

The man handing out flyers asked excitedly, "Do you know Officer Wang Xiong Hui?"

Chu Weiyue nodded: "I don't know."

The man distributing flyers took out his phone and looked up information on the spot.

Chu Weiyue glanced at him and realized it was a man named "Qi Tongwei".

The man handing out leaflets pointed and said, "Commander Wang is in the tent right now, please."

As they walked, the man distributing flyers said, "With the advent of the Body Strengthening Pills, it's even easier to understand how much sacrifice those people made."

"Of course, it's not about morally blackmailing anyone; I just hope I can help them."

Upon entering the tent, the man distributing leaflets took two steps and stood next to a burly man: "This is Commander Wang."

Wang Xiong Hui nodded: "I did this in my private capacity, but I guarantee with my integrity that all the information on the leaflet is true."

"Young man, can you provide a few body-strengthening pills?"

Chu Weiyue thought about it and realized that the body-strengthening pills needed to be sold before the 24-hour period ended, otherwise they would be useless.

To sell it successfully, you'll need to put in a lot of effort and thought.

Selling it to Wang Xiong Hui and his group now would not only eliminate the need for infighting, but it could also be considered a good deed.

Chu Weiyue respected those guys who obediently gave up activating the panel.

We ensure that at least one person in their family is willing to continue playing the game.

Seeing that the extraordinary era is more turbulent than imagined, the difference between having an extraordinary person in your family and not having one should be significant.

Of course, the biggest problem is that you can't get a good price for it.

The price of 3 per piece is much lower than the market price.

Moreover, the price may increase as time goes on and the event nears its end.

"18 pieces, 30,000 each, totaling 540,000."

Chu Weiyue thought about it and decided it was acceptable.

The main reason is that I have too much confidence in the future and I genuinely believe that money will not be a problem.

If you have the strength and ability, you can have anything you want.

Chu Weiyue made a decision, taking off his backpack: "I can sell you 18 of them."

Wang Xiong Hui asked doubtfully, "How much?"

Chu Weiyue repeated: "18."

Wang Xiong Hui asked curiously, "How did you get so many? Did you pick them all up on the mountain? Or did you buy them from others? You didn't do anything illegal or disorderly, did you? Like, robbery?"

Chu Weiyue rolled his eyes: "I picked them up one by one. Otherwise, would I have stolen them and sold them to you at a low price? Am I crazy?"

Wang Xiong Hui's cheeks twitched a few times: "Sorry."

"..."
