After finishing the renovation of his new house, Xiao Han yawned, walked to the steps in front of the fruit shop on the street, and sat down.
The streets were bustling with traffic, with people buying and selling daily necessities such as grains, vegetables, fruits, and soaps. As the street developed steadily, merchants from the surrounding areas who had been bullied came here to do business, creating a scene of commercial prosperity.
Without the interference of those shady forces, the streets here have regained their former glory and are full of vitality.
In the midst of Xiao Han's double-crossing, he inadvertently did a great deed, so much so that even loan sharks dared not send anyone to run a business on that street.
After all, Xiao Han has a Silver-rank expert standing behind him, so he does have the right to forcefully dominate the profits of an entire street, and the forces outside won't say anything. This is the unspoken rule that power reigns supreme.
Thus, after much speculation and rumors, most of the gray forces knew that there was a street where a ferocious fox sat, seemingly easy to bully during the day, but at night he would lead the undead to ransack your home, not only beating you up but also forcing you to sign a slave contract and taking all your furniture.
As a result, external forces dared not provoke them and avoided them at all costs, fearing that if this fox ever showed any signs of expanding outwards, a group of people would be doomed.
"As a thank you to our loyal customers, we're offering a huge discount on sausages! You can get a plump, big sausage for just three copper eagles!"
A vendor shouted, displaying a promotional price that aroused the desire of a group of customers.
On the wooden cart brought by the vendors were sausages that were even fatter than beef legs, making everyone's mouths water.
Three bronze eagles could buy a small bag of rice, enough to feed a family for three days. Now they can buy meat at a discounted price, which is actually a huge profit for ordinary people at the bottom of society.
After all, meat is very expensive in the Nordic region. Due to factors such as climate, war, and disease, meat is generally sold on the same day it is slaughtered, unless it undergoes special processing, such as freezing into cold food or making sausages, in which case the price will drop slightly.
"Sausage? Not bad. Tonight, I'll have beef stew with potatoes, plus some grilled sausages as an after-dinner snack."
Sitting on the steps, Xiao Han smiled. Just as he was about to buy a bunch of sausages at the promotional price, a middle-aged man with taut muscles handed him a melon with pale green flesh.
This is the fruit shop owner who is being used as an informant by the urban management officers.
"Thanks a lot."
"Hey! Uncle selling melons."
Xiao Han exclaimed in surprise, then took the melon without hesitation and took a bite.
Hmm, it's quite sweet, a million times better than the fruit that's sold to fruit shop owners for juicing!
"Guest, here are your three bags of sausages."
The vendor smiled and handed a ten-pound sausage to the fruit shop owner.
Afterwards, Xiao Han, carrying a bag of sausages, sat on the steps with the fruit shop owner, holding melons and chatting.
The conversation was lighthearted, with friendly topics such as "If you dare to flirt with my daughter, I'll break your legs" and "This girl is a crybaby and likes bear dolls; the toy store on the east side sells them and can even be repaired."
"etc!"
As they chatted, Xiao Han felt something was off. He looked at the fruit shop owner and said, "Your daughter is only eight years old. If I were to hook up with your daughter, I would kill myself before you even have to lift a finger."
Upon hearing this, the fruit shop owner was deeply gratified.
Of course, it would be even more effective if Xiao Han swore an oath in the name of the gods.
"By the way, those people you provoked earlier have a powerful force behind them, specifically targeting you. Be careful."
The fruit shop owner said casually, biting into a melon and spitting out the seeds, looking like a relaxed middle-aged man.
"Yeah, they're giving away money, I understand."
Xiao Han made a six with one hand to show that there was no problem.
To ensure that hundreds of undead skeletons would burst out on the way to the enemy's attack and engage in a firepower contest? The necromancer's summoning magic would certainly disagree.
"Oh, that's even better."
The fruit shop owner patted Xiao Han on the shoulder, and under the latter's strange gaze that seemed to say "an older man and a young boy are a better match," he returned to the shop.
"Revenge? We'll see when the time comes."
Xiao Han smiled, not worried at all. On the contrary, the other party was there to deliver takeout and help the newbie demon king who was short of money.
Carrying a bag of sausages, Xiao Han smiled slightly and stretched out one hand.
[Steal], activate!
Xiao Han was very principled about his daily skill practice: once a day, and if he wasn't caught, he considered it a win.
With a swift grasp, a bag of cabbage hit him on the forehead, splashing juice everywhere, and the cabbage still stuck to his face.
"Yes, it's the ferocious little fox master!!"
A cabbage vendor was horrified. Suddenly, the once bustling street fell into an eerie silence.
"Aaaaaah! I don't want to die!"
"Run! Run! The little fox has gone mad and is going to kill people!"
"That look is so fierce, oh my god, I'm doomed!"
A group of people panicked and ran away instantly. Even the vendors who had gathered a large crowd of customers selling discounted sausages were terrified and, pushing their carts, ran away with the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
"Smack!"
The cabbage smeared on Xiao Han's face slipped off and fell into his hand, staining his face with green juice. A forced smile appeared on his lips.
"Free snacks included, cheers!"
They discovered there was an extra meal, um, the kind that's free.
...
In the alley.
Carrying sausages and cabbage, Xiao Han set off on his way home with a cheerful mood.
Once home, a necromancer skilled in cooking will prepare a grand feast to celebrate the establishment of the new home.
Suddenly, around the corner, a tall figure blocked his way.
A black cloak fluttered, revealing exquisite light armor underneath, wrapped in animal hide, giving him a menacing appearance.
In an instant, Xiao Han calmly turned around, his legs tensed, then he took a running start, took a step, and his speed increased until he finally took off running.
"Sizzle!"
As the energy flowed, the lightly armored man watched Xiao Han's dashing escape, a look of surprise and bewilderment flashing in his eyes.
As his target receded into the distance, he could no longer contain himself and burst forth with astonishing speed, suddenly sprinting towards it.
Xiao Han suddenly turned around, and with the help of the [Demon Eye], he could only barely catch a glimpse of the sharp blade hidden in the opponent's sleeve!
assassin!
"Ding, the job change quest has been triggered. You can choose to refuse."
"Job change? I'm being hunted down right now, damn it! Is this assassin my job change mentor? Even a lousy author wouldn't dare write something like this!"
Xiao Han cursed under his breath. In order not to affect his speed, he summoned the Obsidian Sword with his right hand at any time, ready to fight to the death if he were to be trapped in a desperate situation.
Why are you running?
The assassin wearing a blood-red mask coldly said from behind, then with a flick of his sleeve, a blood-stained short blade was revealed, like a cold, venomous snake, sending a shiver down Xiao Han's spine the instant it was exposed.
"If you don't chase me, why would I run away?"
Xiao Han countered with a question, and a hint of surprise appeared on the newbie's face: "Does that mean the assassins here all talk about politeness first before actually killing you?"
assassin:"……"
