Chapter 169 Earning 90 Million in a Week 33
Watching the money going towards Jiang Yuelu, Su Tie had a very strange feeling.
Ever since he integrated Qingxie into his body, he got used to money coming to him. After holding the heavy coins in his hands, he became addicted to the feeling of control.
Controlling money and controlling people made him unable to stop.
However, Jiang Yuelu broke the cycle of Qingxie money - even though he used another method, even though he still couldn't control his Qingxie money.
All he gets is another currency.
But no matter what, this is the first time.
For the first time, he watched the coin fly away without looking back. Did others also watch their money fly away like this? For the first time, he stood in the opposite position. A position of powerlessness.
Regret, disappointment? Or anger.
Instead of the emotions that should have been there, Su Tie stood there in a daze, watching the golden krypton gold bars on the opposite side soaring. He knew without looking back that all the scattered and dormant money in this city had poured into Jiang Yuelu's live broadcast room.
He moved his fingers.
He wanted to control this money as he had controlled the Qingfeng money, but he soon found that it was futile. This money was as disobedient as their master.
"Cycad, you see it."
Jiang Yuelu's voice rang out from the other side, "There are still things in this world that cannot be trapped in place. People are not money, nor are they objects that can be controlled at will."
Su Tie slowly looked towards Linya City. The city had changed a lot.
Linya City now looks like a scene in a horror movie where ghosts meet humans, as if humans and ghosts are meeting at the border between life and death. Dead relatives and close friends appear before their eyes, and their eyes begin to regain clarity, fading from the deep dark green.
After saying hello to their deceased loved ones, they felt a little confused and frightened.
In their impression, they were living somewhere else the last moment, not knowing what happened, and in the blink of an eye they came to such a strange place.
The memory imposed on them by the cycads was no longer effective.
“Ten million… twenty million…” The live broadcast room in Linya City also returned to normal. Ximujin was excitedly counting the krypton gold bars of the Inquisitor, “…fifty million…seventy million…oh my god, it’s almost eighty million, what kind of terrifying speed is this?!”
In the end, the amount of krypton gold bars exceeded 90 million.
"Ninety million, ninety million! Judge, you are so awesome. You did what you said and really got first place!" Ximujin was cheering crazily, and Jin Ruyi next to him was also a little excited.
Not to mention the “first place” winners from previous years, who almost made it to the end.
If Su Tie hadn't used the Qingfei money, which was like a cheat, in the last PK, they would have collected the most underworld money, which was 90 million at that time.
And now, the myth of 90 million has been broken.
They looked at the judge from afar in amazement and awe.
He is the contestant who has gone the furthest in all these years... He defeated the Lord of a ghost city!
"Okay, I lost." Jiang Yuelu was surprised by Su Tie's words. He didn't expect him to accept defeat so easily. But he didn't know that since the game had already been decided, Xia Yi would no longer turn a blind eye if Su Tie violated his rules again.
The rules of Ghost City were established by Su Tie, and the rules of the Underworld Money Competition clearly state: whoever gets the most money in the end is the winner.
As for what kind of money it is, there is no regulation on this.
If Su Tie violated the rules of his own Ghost City, Xia Yi would not be bound by such a joke of rules. This was a kind of weird tacit understanding between them.
Su Tie waved his hand, making the live broadcast room disappear, and he met Jiang Yuelu again, who had returned to normal clothes.
According to his rules, the loser in the PK will be imprisoned forever - just like what he did to the first place winner in previous years. But when it was his turn, he was unwilling to do it no matter what.
It would be better to kill him than to imprison him.
"Are you here to compete in order to find your relatives?"
Jiang Yuelu immediately asked: "Do you know where Yan Lu and the others are?"
Su Tie didn't answer, but asked a question: "Are you sure they came to Guidu?"
This is the information provided by Dean Kong. There shouldn't be any mistakes. Jiang Yuelu nodded and said, "They came to Ghost City for unknown reasons, but according to my clues, it has a lot to do with Wu Yeming."
"Wu Yeming..." Su Tie's expression was a little subtle, and he quickly skipped the topic. "Since we are in the Ghost City, there will be no problem. As long as it is a place where the underworld money is circulated, I can locate it, no matter if it is a human or a ghost... Of course, there is only one exception."
Jiang Yuelu: "Where?"
Before Su Tie could answer, Xia Yi spoke up, "You've been there and just left."
Su Tie thought to himself, Lord Ghost King, I'm afraid the little wizard won't understand what you're saying, but Jiang Yuelu quickly realized, "It turned out to be the boat of Jin Muxi, no wonder."
Cycad: “…”
The tail ship has its own monetary measurement system and is the only place that does not use underworld money.
Jiang Yuelu couldn't help but get excited when he thought about finding Yan Lu and Yan Fei. He even ignored the subtle look Su Tie gave him and Xia Yi. "How do we find them?"
"Before you look for it, you have to agree to one request of mine."
Xia Yi's eyes darkened, and Su Tie quickly added: "It's not an excessive request. After I find them, just let me leave safely."
Jiang Yuelu touched his chin. He had no intention of destroying the Lord of the Capital.
If students from other academies were standing here, they might be very indignant and want to be irreconcilable with this group of evil ghosts, but he, a wild boy who changed his career halfway through, really doesn't have much of the professional ethics of a wizard. He originally came to the Ghost City for Yan Fei and Yan Lu, and dealing with the Lord of the City was just a side job.
But he was still happy to see Cycas panic, after all, this guy had caused him a lot of losses before.
He thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
Su Tie then breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward, and reached out to Jiang Yuelu's brow. Before he got close, he was burned by a jumping green flame, and he let go of his hand with a scream.
Xia Yi looked at him coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Help him find someone!" Su Tie was almost going crazy, "You've seen how I look for people, haven't you? I always do this... I don't have any other intentions towards him!"
Besides, you've been watching me from behind, so even if I want to harm him, I'd have to think hard!
Jiang Yuelu turned around and looked at Xia Yi, who looked unhappy. "Is it okay?"
Xia Yi hummed, still not very happy, and took back the green fire, looking at Su Tie with his nose and eyes, saying perfunctorily, "My hands were itching just now, you continue."
What a psycho!
This time, Su Tie didn't dare to get too close. He controlled a coin and cautiously floated it to Jiang Yuelu's forehead, explaining: "I need to know what your brothers and sisters look like. This will make things much easier..."
Suddenly, he hummed, as if he had discovered something in Jiang Yuelu's memory.
Xia Yi: "What's wrong?"
"You...your..." Su Tie hadn't finished his words when his face suddenly changed. He was about to step back when his whole body began to twitch. This sudden change made everyone stunned. Xia Yi looked around vigilantly but did not detect any outsiders.
But no matter how you look at it, Cycas looked like it had suffered a fatal attack. Jiang Yuelu was not familiar with this, but Xia Yi had seen the death of many capital masters from generation to generation, so this attack was undoubtedly a fatal one.
Su Tie had no strength to struggle, and even his true form was exposed. Dark green ancient coins were embedded in his skin, and these ancient coins slid down from Su Tie's body like sand. He stretched out his hand towards Xia Yi, like a demon who had just crawled out of purgatory, "Ghost King... Sir... Save..."
His words were cut off cleanly, and his throat and face turned into dust.
Soon, only a thin layer of black dust remained on the ground. A breeze blew over, blowing the Cycas humanoid figure into pieces.
After Jiang Yuelu realized what was happening, her expression changed drastically. "Wait a minute!"
It doesn’t matter if he’s dead, but he hasn’t said where his brothers and sisters are!
"It's no use." Xia Yi knew without even looking, "He's already dead."
Ghosts also die. The end of humans is not that of ghosts. Humans will cross the end of death and reach another end, but the cycad has reached the end.
His tone was not full of emotion. In his long life, he had seen many generations of capital masters come and go. Ji Hongcha was like this, Qin Xue was like this, and Su Tie was also like this.
All things will eventually disappear, like sand rolling away in the wind.
He had seen too many people and ghosts die, but none of them really had an impact on him. Even when Jiang Yuelu, his childhood friend, "died", Xia Yi didn't feel much.
Jiang Yuelu stood there blankly, his ears still ringing with what Su Tie had just said, and he didn't even notice Xia Yi walking back to his side. He lowered his head and thought seriously, "Su Tie definitely didn't commit suicide."
A ghost who is still planning a way out will never commit suicide.
"It's not suicide." Xia Yi also shook his head. "This is not the way a ghost who committed suicide died. His body looks more like he was killed by a sudden attack."
After a pause, Xia Yi continued: "But there were no external enemies at the scene. It seems that the cycads have triggered some kind of curse."
"Curse..." Jiang Yuelu was silent.
If the cycad had always been carrying the curse, why was it triggered just now?
The incident happened too quickly, but when I think about it carefully, there was nothing unusual about Cycas before he explored my memory... So, did he discover something from my memory that triggered the curse?
But those are my memories, why did the curse fall on him but have no effect on me?
Jiang Yuelu was in a state of confusion, and suddenly heard Xia Yi hum, "Come and take a look."
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yi asked him to approach the thin layer of ashes, because of the gusts of cold wind, the ashes had long lost their human shape. Jiang Yuelu didn't know why he asked him to look at the remains of the cycad, and raised his head in confusion.
"There's something wrong with the wind." Xia Yi raised his hand and made a gesture of grabbing the air, "It only blows these ashes."
It was true. Jiang Yuelu felt it and found that there was only residual wind where the cycad had died. The wind was slightly hot, as if charcoal was burning somewhere he could not see.
"Su Tie wants to tell you something." Xia Yi confirmed.
Jiang Yuelu didn't dare to move. He didn't know what Su Tie wanted to tell him at the end, whether it was news related to his younger brother and sister. Most importantly, he didn't know how Su Tie would use the wind to tell him the news.
But soon, he saw it.
Saw the "news".
The scorching hot wind seemed to carry the laughter of the dead souls, circling in the low sky and spreading a feeling of ecstasy, and the ashes on the ground were slowly blown into distorted shapes.
That's a word.
A broken character "孔".
