I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 576 - 65: The Blacksmiths’ Ambition

"Not bad, not bad."

Meanwhile, Jiucai Rong and Nightly Frenzied Cultivation brothers were strolling and looking around.

Suddenly, they noticed a newly opened brothel by the roadside. Jiucai Rong rubbed his nose, "We have this thing here too? Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body, you're in luck."

Night Mad Cultivator said, "Let this shop open, I don't care. Our Sect, doesn't share the heavens with gambling and drugs!"

Jiucai Rong sighed, "To be honest, I kinda miss the days in our hillside eating dirt, it's become suddenly so prosperous, feels a bit surreal."

Night Mad Cultivator holding a skewer, "This isn't surreal, it's real, fits the background... These damn Sea Race rulers are even more feudal and cruel than the feudal societies over there... that's why a large number of refugees have flooded in here."

Jiucai Rong deeply agreed, "Initially, I thought the Jiushui Dynasty over there was already very dark, but didn't expect them to be the brightest, the most upright, constantly striving to uphold order and protect the weak."

Night Mad Cultivator sighed, "Here is a world of personal power, bullying the weak... fits the national conditions. I'm a High Tier cultivator of tens of thousands of years, why should I be equal to you hundred-year-old mortals? Fist is power, slavery is the core of the Extraordinary world."

"I think they're quite miserable."

Night Mad Cultivator felt the plot was set with such a Sea Race background, clearly to cast them as saviors... to save the Sea Race.

Because from the moment they arrived here, every detail emphasized decay, dereliction, and lifelessness.

Previously, the collusion between officials and bandits in Fish Wine City, then White Flower Scholar bringing a group of children to survive in the city, then Elder Gui's greed...

The environment in all aspects made the blacksmiths who grew up in the sunshine feel incomparable anger!

Players are just such a contradictory bunch.

They can open treasure boxes at a villager's home, rummage through cabinets, asking while taking things: Villager, any missions for me? I guarantee completion.

But also sympathize with the oppressed people, wanting to raise the banner high, stir up a revolution, shout with blood and life, to create a peaceful and prosperous world.

In Ning Zheng's eyes, one phrase can describe the players' essential thoughts.

——You've robbed, how will we rob in the future?

——You've exploited, how will we exploit in the future?

We rummage through cabinets at a villager's home for game excitement, you do it, that's courting death!

We definitely want to build a world where the people live and work in peace, filled with treasure chests in villagers' homes!

They are just such a bunch, deeply double-standard chaotic species.

Jiucai Rong said, "There's no way, we can only try to change the environment here."

Yan Shuangying nodded, "Develop the city, then expand, recruit... lots of stuff. We two, as the secretary to the old managers, are feeling overwhelmed."

Jiucai Rong understood, once they possess enough power after breakthrough to Two Phases Realm Great Cultivator, even One Heart Realm... they will attack and subdue each Major Sect, Great Noble Families!

The whole game has a sense of mission as the mainline!

When they first came to this hillside, they saw various bizarre, terrifying cultivation systems... they've been changing this world, schemes of Human God, forging Sun Moon, Nine-State Cauldron...

Carrying the fate of transforming this absurd and despairing world.

At least, that's how they feel, the players as saviors' game spirit, still deeply entrenched in their bones.

The two faced this newly established brothel with no need for chicken talk.

But still went in for a look, mainly out of curiosity.

As they entered, they heard patrons inside complaining about the expensive prices.

A patron sitting in a chair holding a Magical Artifact said, "This Coral Ball just has this one issue, it can only mimic Magical Artifacts... but can't mimic a race, otherwise why spend the money here?"

Another patron said, "Yeah, if only it could use some blood and transform into the beauties of different races... then Coral Ball would be truly omnipotent."

"..."

Jiucai Rong felt greatly shaken.

Being used as weapons, houses, shields, you want them as wives too?

The audience's perspective comments were also "Wow, this is so interesting" "When can I log in?" "Next batch must be me" kind of remarks.

However.

Jiucai Rong felt a sense of achievement.

The Sect they are operating now, the NPCs coming and going are increasing steadily.

Although they still can't go outside, they belong formally to that kind of business simulation, guest-receiving game track.

"The entire Sect is a newly built giant card pool, the NPCs inside can secretly draw cards, log into their characters."

He lamented, "But recently, Kissing Peak's customer services orders exploded... our forging speed can't keep up, queued up to a month now."

Soon.

They continued inspecting shops, coming to the newly opened shop of the Steamed Fish clan loved by the Dragon Race.

Just as they entered, they saw a Fish Chef cutting his own flesh, and even asked a customer how well-cooked they wanted...

"Huh??" Jiucai Rong's eyes widened.

"What is this?" Night Mad Cultivator was also stunned.

"Hey, sir, look, we'll give you the first meal for free..." the Fish Chef pointed at the sign on the wall.

Different parts of fish meat, different amounts.

"This, you Steamed Fish cutting your own flesh won't be a problem?" Jiucai Rong was startled.

"What could be the problem? As long as you reach the Five-Body Realm, there's no need to fear... guaranteed fresh, cut and cooked on the spot."

The Fish Chef's expression was ordinary:

"But as for the innards, we don't offer that service yet. Chefs of the Four Viscera Realm are quite rare, and haven't started here yet... For now, we only sell fish meat from the limbs."

Jiucai Rong's expression stiffened as he silently looked over the entire menu, even spotting the most expensive item — caviar.

"What!?"

Jiucai Rong's expression stiffened, and he silently glanced toward this Fish Chef's crotch, as if he suddenly thought of something.

Caviar, surprisingly, was the most popular item, even loved by the Dragon Race.

Ahem.

Come to think of it, is there really anything wrong?

Jiucai Rong forcibly found reasons for himself, after all, back in our hometown, we also eat caviar; essentially, it is also that part of the fish...

In this Otherworld, they eat it too; there's no difference after all.

We can't use human notions to judge the ingredients of the Sea Race... moreover, humans themselves also have this notion.

Thinking this way, he gradually calmed down, "You guys really have a tough job!"

"It's just to survive."

The Steamed Fish Chef said, "Want to give it a try?"

Jiucai Rong wanted to flee...

As one of the most cowardly veteran blacksmiths at the villa, he was truly afraid of these things.

[So creepy!]

[So scary! This shop is too terrifying, Jiucai Rong, run away quickly!]

[What a ridiculous scene, a Fish Demon cutting its own meat...]

[The city we manage is so special.]

[Is this what the Sea Race is? I'm in love. I'm in love.]

[What's there to be afraid of? We dare to eat Earth... why be afraid of this?]

...

Certain shops and customs of the Sea Race deliver a huge shock to some small blacksmiths!

No way around it; they are just high attack, low defense squishies.

They do scare people a lot, and are also frightened by other things into screaming.

At this moment.

However, the Fish Chef looked at Jiucai Rong with admiration and said:

"Everyone thinks we're creepy, terrifying... self-sacrificing, but we think we're still a notch below you. You are the true selfless sacrificers, sacrificing for your race..."

"Just looking at you gives us the willies!"

"No way?" Jiucai Rong was stunned. Watching you cut your own meat... you're the creepy one!

We blacksmiths work from 8 AM to 7 PM every day, and fall asleep as soon as work is done, never leaving fatigue for the next day.

Even the physicians at the clinic think we're quite normal.

You are the real horror show, like the kind that makes children cry.

"Lying under the sky fishing Three Flowers, waking up in the morning to jump into the furnace... some scholars have already written poetry for you."

The Fish Chef, placed here by the Steamed Fish clan to open a branch, was clearly looking forward to this:

"You stand on the front lines against the Pseudo-human, unafraid of sacrifice, unafraid of death."

"I heard that even the Pseudo-human next door were frightened because as soon as you are parasitized, you decisively commit suicide... causing significant losses to their descendants."

"Your warrior-like race fights on the front line against Pseudo-humans, being their most hated enemies."

"I heard they've got their eyes on you."

Jiucai Rong suddenly realized.

Now, he's receiving new hidden task information from the NPCs here.

He felt there should be a data display above his Sect's head:

Sea Race Reputation +1+1+1

Pseudo-human Hatred +1+1+1

"No wonder recently, we've been getting less Three Flowers from playing dead."

Jiucai Rong stroked his chin, suddenly understanding, "So they're scared of us... afraid to release Three Flowers into this area."

"Yes, it has noticeably decreased." The Fish Chef nodded vigorously.

The number of Pseudo-humans in the whole area has significantly decreased!

It's becoming close to a vacuum zone for Pseudo-humans; those that make children cry have already been scared away, and you still say you're not creepy?

We Steamed Fish nourish dragons with our meat, compared to you, that's just a minor path.

But what Jiucai Rong was actually thinking was:

Indeed, this is the game's wild monster mechanism.

When enough small monsters are defeated, and their loot packs raided too much, it angers their group, and then the boss monster will appear.
