Three years ago, an enigmatic calamity descended, causing the collapse of the monetary system and the rampant suppression of this world by rules with extremely low survivability.
Su Luo, in a...
More than half of the ghost money that Xicheng had saved up before was taken out!
The patrol team looked around and, seeing some residents still waiting outside, asked curiously, "Where are those people? What's going on?"
"Oh, those people? They left with Miss Su voluntarily."
Su Luo counted the ghost money in her hand, then went to the supermarket and bought pots and pans, batteries, TVs, refrigerators, large color TVs, sofas, and soft chairs—anything that Xi Cheng didn't want.
As for her countless food items, milk, and other supplies, she resold them to Yan Ruyu.
Win-win.
Yan Ruyu was surprised that Su Luo had so much food. No wonder she looked so fearless and even wanted to go out for a stroll.
As for murder and robbery?
First, take a look at that two-star dungeon, then look at the five-star monster still sleeping inside. Killing and robbing is not as good as peaceful trade, at least you can actually get the supplies instead of being wiped out.
It's no wonder it's West City. It didn't suffer much damage before, so it has plenty of ghost money, a full range of goods, and, most importantly, people!
The girl who had just stopped her to ask for milk heard that Su Luo was hiring and was the first to step forward, bringing her sister along, willing to leave Xicheng with Miss Su!
Once there's a first one, there's a second. Some people who can't make a living in the West City are also willing to go out and try their luck, just in case they make the right choice.
Of course, there are also some people who are unwilling to leave. Seeing that Xicheng has purchased a large amount of supplies, they are more willing to stay and live a peaceful life in their own little corner.
Afterwards, Su Luo also gave Yan Ruyu a note with her own signature on it.
"If you need to buy supplies in the future, just go to the Guishi Commercial Street in the provincial capital or the Guishi Commercial Street in Hongcheng City. They'll provide whatever you need at market price, no cheating on anyone!"
"With this note, VIP access will be expedited, and you'll be the first one prepared!"
"VIP access?" Yan Ruyu blinked in surprise. "Does this note mean this is equivalent to VIP access in the Ghost Market?"
Su Luo raised his head. "Pretty much the same."
"As for the items inside, you'll have to scrape together the money and buy them yourself."
She's just providing a channel; you still have to pay for what you buy yourself. Su Luo isn't a philanthropist; she won't do anything for free.
She also knew about the new VIP system launched in the Ghost Market Commercial Street, which offered better goods and even resurrection fluid specifically for ghosts.
Although I don't know if the resurrection fluid is also useful to humans, having that bottle of resurrection fluid in hand might allow me to negotiate a deal with the ghost if necessary.
After bidding farewell to Xicheng, Su Luo continued onward, and besides herself, there were five more companions in the car.
The two sisters were nothing special, the other two were unremarkable, but the last one caught Su Luo's attention.
He had already witnessed it at the West City gate. Now, he sat on the bus cautiously, trying to appear calm, but the cold sweat pouring down his face betrayed his true emotions.
Ten minutes ago.
"Ye Rong, good, good, good, now that you've grown wings, you're thinking about how to fly?"
"Our Ye family has raised you for so many years, and this is how you repay us?"
Su Luo: This tone, this expression, this routine, she felt like she had heard it a long time ago.
The boy named Ye Rong was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his whole body was dirty. He was disheveled and looked like he had just fled from elsewhere.
"I...I didn't!" the boy whispered in his defense.
"No?"
"Your younger brother is growing and needs to drink milk. You have hands and feet, can't you handle it yourself?"
"Just because you drink one less bottle, you want to leave the city? Heh, what are you doing, running away from home like this!"
"Ye Rong, let me tell you, if you dare to step out of this city gate today, you may never come back!"
The group of people speaking were dressed in elegant and clean clothes, which seemed somewhat out of place in this post-apocalyptic world.
“They are the richest family in Xicheng.” Yan Ruyu, who had appeared beside Su Luo at some point, explained from the side, “That child is quite pitiful.”
"He is the eldest son of the richest man, but he is unloved by his father and mother. His younger son is always given priority. He is the son of the richest man, but he lives a worse life than the son of an ordinary family."
“He’s a good person. If he’s willing to go with you this time, you can treat him better.”
Yan Ruyu's assessment was correct; at least he wouldn't be the kind of person who betrays others for personal gain or abandons them after using them. Moreover, judging from the way he treated his parents just now, Su Luo understood.
Because I understand, I am clear about it.
Thinking of this, Su Luo glanced at Ye Rong, who was sitting in the last row silently shedding tears, and got up to hand him a tissue.
"What's the point of staying in a home that doesn't love you?"
"The world is vast, and only where there are people waiting for you can you be considered a writer."
Ye Rong stared blankly up at the woman in front of him.
Although it was in a bizarre dungeon, at that moment, Ye Rong felt as if he had met someone very important in his life.
"Thank you, thank you."
"If you can come back with me alive, you can have any kind of home you want!"
As Su Luo spoke, she glanced at the remaining people, as if to warn them that surviving in her car wasn't just a matter of being kind-hearted.
"Where are you going, sister?"
On the way, the girl who first met Su Luo was the first to muster up the courage to speak to her.
"Where are we going?" Su Luo smiled slightly, but it made people uneasy. "To find the eerie dungeon."
Hearing Su Luo's words, the girl's eyes lit up, "Sister, did you get all those supplies from the weird dungeon?"
"Maybe."
"Then I want to go too!" The girl's statement was unexpected. While others avoided the eerie dungeon like the plague, she was eager to pounce on it immediately.
"You've got some nerve, aren't you afraid of dying in there?"
"That's my own fault. Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against my sister."
After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at her younger sister in her arms, her eyes becoming even more determined.
Seeing this scene, Su Luo recalled the conversation between the Ye family members at the West Gate and couldn't help but sigh.
Some family members would risk their lives for each other, while others would practically lick the other's blood, and then make sarcastic remarks before they would stop.
These days, the days are endlessly long and the temperature remains high. Fortunately, the bus has its own air conditioning system, so it's not too hot. But it's a different story once you get off the bus. It's so hot that Su Luo quickly walks a few steps toward the grand courtyard and gets closer to the gate.
Looking at the four characters "Min Family Courtyard" written on the plaque of the grand mansion in front of him, Su Luo clapped his hands and stepped forward to knock on the door.
It's decided! Your journey as a model worker, sweeping through bizarre dungeons, will begin with you!
The antique-style grand courtyard, with its eerie red and white lanterns, stands out starkly on the modern street, appearing somewhat out of place.
'Knock knock knock.'
'Knock knock knock.'
Three polite greetings followed, and just as Su Luo's patience was about to run out, a slightly aged voice rang out from inside the door.
With a questioning voice, an old woman with gray hair, dressed in a black coat and a white flower in her hair, stood out in broad daylight, carrying a lantern that looked like a skull, and looked Su Luo up and down.
"Young lady, who are you looking for?"
