The beautiful Luoluo covered her face and ran out crying.
But in reality he didn't get very far.
Because when he took the first step, Luo Xiannan remembered how slow the cone snail was with its shell on its back.
Even though he was in a strange transformation form that made him less affected by the shell, and he had also unlocked a transformation into a giant-toothed ant that increased his overall strength, but... his running speed was about the same as someone else's normal walking speed.
This is a bit embarrassing.
He could only try to make his running posture look better.
Fortunately, the scallop chasing him was not very fast, which allowed the two of them to run in a bloody manner.
But he was eventually caught up by Scallop at the door of the car dealership.
"Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang, don't run away! Listen to my explanation!"
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen. Your sister just looks down on me, a down-and-out kid from the countryside!"
Scallop's brother-in-law's two hundred eyes were blinking anxiously: "No, Xiangxiang! My sister just cares about me too much! Mainly because I have been cheated of a lot of coins and gems by other beautiful ghosts in the past, but you are different! You don't want my money! You just want me as a ghost!"
"You have to believe that my sister just hasn't seen your good side yet! She doesn't understand your kindness and strength yet! With time, she will surely understand and recognize us!"
Wu Xiangwang felt like rolling his eyes to the sky after hearing such a clichéd answer that could be repeated even if they were from different worlds.
"Really?!"
"Really, really! You're so nice, my sister will definitely like you!"
"Wow, I don't believe it!"
Scallop brother-in-law: "Uh..."
"Brother Bei, our identities are not compatible, so let's just separate for a few days and calm down.
Even though Sister He monitors you, disciplines you, makes all the decisions for you, and even lets the old housekeeper disrespect you in front of so many cunning people... He is doing this for your own good!"
Wu Xiangwang covered his face with his head while secretly glancing at his brother-in-law Scallop's stiff expression. He sighed, "I think Sister must think you're His little darling, weak and small, unable to handle the dangers outside on your own, so He must protect you!"
"So He has to keep you within His territory and find tricks to follow you so He can feel at ease."
At this point, Luoluo Beauty reminisced with particular emotion: "I used to have a pet ghost that I loved very much, and I treated it the same way!
I feed it, give it water, and buy it all kinds of toys. I make it wag its tail at me when it sees me and believe it cannot survive without me. In this way, as long as I wave to it, it will keep circling around me to please me.
Hehehe, that was such a warm and happy time~"
The expression on Scallop Weird's face at this time was so ugly that it could no longer be described.
His two hundred eyes widened because he suddenly realized that he looked like his sister's pet ghost!
"Oh, Brother Bei, I'm not saying you're like a pet ghost, it's just that Luo Luo can't talk... I'm just saying that I care about you very much, and I do all this for your own good."
"Okay, stop talking!" Scallop roared strangely, "If he really wanted to do this for my own good, he wouldn't have let the old butler humiliate you in front of so many people and not give me any face!"
"He's really going too far! I need to go talk to Him!"
Wu Xiangwang almost collapsed after hearing the last sentence.
Gui can still make sense.
If I don't slap you out, she is not worthy of being the city lord's wife.
"Don't be like this, Brother Bei! Don't go and make your sister angry! You, ah, I'll just tell you the truth. If you go, you will definitely not get an explanation, and you will be beaten up by your sister or even your brother-in-law. Why put yourself in such a state of suffering?"
"Humph! I'm my sister's little darling, so He won't hit me! He will definitely listen to me! Just wait and see! I'll get justice for you soon! Make my sister recognize everything about you!!"
Then the scallop strangely ran away angrily, flapping the shell behind him.
Wu Xiangwang was left alone, looking at His receding back, covering his mouth and smiling silently.
But when he turned around, Wu Xiangwang met the strange old butler's extremely complicated eyes, as if he was looking at some peerless green tea. He immediately restrained his expression and looked at the old butler with tears in his eyes:
"Oh my god, why are you looking at me like that? Luo Luo, I will never give in to money! I really care about Brother Bei!"
Weird old butler: "..."
Do you care enough to let Him yell at his sister?
The strange old butler felt that he had seen many cunning people who wanted to curry favor with the second young master in all his years as a butler, but none of them was as combative as the one in front of him.
He had to go back quickly and make sure that the lady couldn't let this scheming person in!
Otherwise, he will disturb the peace of the house!
Then the weird old butler also ran away in a hurry. His speed was not very fast, and he was carrying a big shell on his back that looked very sturdy.
Well, it looks a bit like a turtle shell.
After the strange old butler left, Wu Xiangwang turned around and saw his fellow colleagues looking at him with admiration.
Shang Chong was very skilled: "Dad, your son kneels down for you."
You can think of such a mean trick, and you even laid the groundwork for the relationship between Scallop Weird and his sister. Even the top green tea girls would have to call you dad.
"Fortunately, you chose to be a star instead of a mistress on Earth." Otherwise, with this face and this scheming mind, you would break up many families.
Wang Xiao also pushed his glasses with a complicated expression, "You're taking a bold step."
"While it could sow discord between Scallop Guiyi and the City Lord's wife, it would also bring you uncontrollable danger. Aren't you afraid that in the next few days, Guiyi will put you in a sack in the middle of the night and teach you a lesson?"
"If you're not careful, you might not see the sun the next day."
Wu Xiangwang laughed upon hearing this. A fierce smile appeared on his strangely beautiful face, inlaid with shards of gemstones. "Do you really think that guy and I are playing a love game? Don't you even consider whether his two hundred eyes are a good match? I won't have to wait a few days. I'll be leaving this city within three days."
"It would be best if Gui comes to trouble me. But if he doesn't kill me, the City Lord's wife won't have a brother anymore."
Such words coupled with Wu Xiangwang's current appearance and expression made him look like a villain.
His words also allowed Wang Xiao to quickly grasp the key points.
Before Wang Xiao spoke, he looked around vigilantly. The car dealership owner and other monsters in the dealership were receiving other monsters and did not follow him. There were only a few humans at the gate.
"I wanted to ask you before, what exactly were you doing at the East City Gate? Now there's no need to ask. You want to leave Carnival City early? But the East City Gate won't let you in, right?"
Wu Xiangwang admired Wang Xiao's meticulousness and sharpness. He also had no intention of hiding anything, so he nodded immediately after hearing what he said: "You are right."
"I've already completed the Hero's Quest and the Beauty's Quest. I can complete the Merchant's Quest by just going to the Trading House. So, I've actually completed all three quests. Since I've already completed the Tongcheng Quest, why am I still wasting time here?"
"This is our second day in the city. Even if we count from the evening we entered, we've only been in Carnival City for three days."
"If I have to stay in Carnival City for thirty days before leaving, that would mean I've wasted twenty-seven days of my time."
Wu Xiangwang looked at the strange people coming and going outside the car dealership with a cold expression: "Too much time has been wasted, and time is life to us now. I can't waste so much of my life staying here."
"If I haven't completed the mission and need to stay here longer, that's fine, but if I have already completed the mission and want to stay longer, that's wrong."
Wang Xiao took a deep breath upon hearing this, pulled out the glasses cloth he always carried with him from his pocket and began to wipe his glasses: "This isn't necessarily a waste of life. There are many members of the Dragon Fang Legion in the city who will organize training for the newcomers. Although we don't have anyone to specifically guide our training, we can still train on our own."
Wu Xiangwang sneered: "Which do you think is more effective, the training here or our own survival on the road in the wild?"
Wang Xiao paused as he wiped his glasses, and Wu Xiangwang's voice continued, "Flowers in a greenhouse will never be as resistant to wind and rain as wildflowers."
“It’s the same with humans.”
"Also, don't forget the strange toxins that are increasing in our bodies all the time. Mutations never wait to stop."
Hearing this, Wang Xiao stuffed the glasses cloth back into his pocket, put on his glasses, and nodded: "You convinced me."
"We'll go with you."
Wu Xiangwang wasn't surprised by Wang Xiao's decision, but he still warned them: "Following us would mean you're leaving in an unconventional way. You'll likely be pursued or besieged by a mysterious force, so think carefully."
Wang Xiao repeated without changing his expression, "We'll go with you. As for danger, is there anything we do in this world that isn't dangerous?"
Perhaps in the future their team may not be able to completely catch up with this peculiar team, but at least while they can keep up, they will take every step forward.
Sometimes, life or death, success or failure depends on that one step.
Hao Youjin listened to the conversation between Wu Xiangwang and Wang Xiao and rarely made a decision immediately.
But it was obvious that he had an idea of his own and turned to look at the other four members in the office.
"Gangzi, Xiaopao, Hulu, and Xiaolajiao, what do you think? Should we stay or leave?"
Hao Youjin decided to follow, as he felt a month in each major city was too long. However, since he obviously couldn't leave early on his own, if there was a way to get to the next city more than 20 days earlier, he would seize it.
Hao Youjin originally thought that this person would have different ideas, but he didn't expect that the four of them would all decide to leave with him.
Little Lajiao, a straightforward and fiery girl, also said, "Brother Hao, didn't you say that when faced with big problems, you should follow someone with ability? I think Brother Wangwang is very capable. I feel more at ease following him."
Then the socially anxious and taciturn guy also nodded.
Gangzi and Xiaopao were exercising their muscles by lifting weights, while Gangzi and Xiaopao were frantically jogging to practice their speed. They didn't say anything but both expressed their determination.
So, the three members of Wu Xiangwang's team, the four members of Wang Xiao's team, and the five members of Hao Youjin's team, a total of twelve people, all agreed to the decision to leave the city early.
"Then you should at least give us a plan for what to do next?" Wang Xiao spoke first: "How exactly do you plan to use that scallop to mysteriously escape the city?"
Wu Xiangwang grinned upon hearing this and said, "Of course, it's the method most favored by lovers throughout history and the world whose relationships have been hindered."
"But before that we have to make all the preparations in advance."
Wu Xiangwang immediately began assigning tasks: "In the next three days at most, I will deal with that Scallop Weirdness and have him find a way to get us out of the city."
"Old Wang, take the money to the trading house to buy the necessities we'll need on the road. First, we need to buy two of the highest quality purification stones we can afford. I can get one directly from the trading house by completing the Beauty quest, but you two teams will also need one."
"In addition to the purification stone, buy three more core batteries. I don't think you'll get any more rewards for the beauty mission you barely completed besides the clearance stamp, so you definitely won't be able to upgrade the cart anytime soon.
We have two carts here. Although my beauty quest will allow the car dealer to directly upgrade our car, we have two cars, and I think one battery is not enough."
"Finally, let's buy some basic food, clothes, and daily necessities. You can buy as much as you want, and feel free to spend all the 100 silver coins. Anyway, when we get out into the wild, there will definitely be opportunities to kill monsters and earn cores and materials."
Wang Xiao pushed his glasses up and nodded in an elite manner: "Don't worry, I will definitely maximize the benefits.
In addition, my team and I will strive to memorize the product information and buying and selling prices of the trading house, so that we can maximize our chances of finding valuable materials and accumulating wealth in the wild."
When Wang Xiao said the last sentence, the three men with glasses behind him who originally looked ordinary pushed their glasses at the same time, and suddenly revealed a hunting aura that was difficult to ignore.
Seeing this, Shang Chong finally slapped his thigh in a fit of rage, "Fuck! I remember who you are! You're the financial hyena gang, right? The hyena gang that stock markets and chaebols around the world hate so much, especially the ones who are good at taking advantage of loopholes and suddenly destroying other people's markets!
My dad scolds you guys every day at home for not following the rules!"
Wang Xiao chuckled softly upon hearing this: "Second Young Master, you can't say that. We have helped the country shut down many overseas illegal fundraising and fraud groups."
"Then, let's go to the trading house. There are so many different items in the trading house that I can only use my brain and pen and paper to record them. Three days is very tight."
When Hao Youjin heard this, he immediately said, "Then we'll go with you. Once you're done shopping, we'll take care of the packing and sorting!"
"But, do any of our three teams have spatial abilities? The things that Scallop strangely sent us are still stored with Old Czech. If we buy more, I'm afraid it will be too much to carry and will slow us down."
Wu Xiangwang was about to mention his snail shell backpack, but the student standing behind Wang Xiao, who was wearing round glasses and had round eyes and a round face, scratched his head and said, "Well, my special ability is a financial safe. I can put some things in the box."
"But even now, my abilities haven't been upgraded, and the safe isn't very big, only about one cubic meter."
Wu Xiangwang hadn't expected someone to awaken the ability to use a safe. "So if you attack, you're going to use the safe to crush your opponent?"
Meng Chang sighed, "This is all I can do now. Fortunately, I can control the safe with my willpower, otherwise it would be difficult for me to walk with it."
Luo Luoxiannan thought about how his speed was reduced by half when he put on the backpack.
"...This shell behind me can also hold things. It's about the size of a room. But I have to carry it to collect items, and my speed will drop by half. I can't really participate in combat."
Since the three teams decided to go together, Wu Xiangwang didn't mind showing off some of his abilities.
Anyway, they will never know how many fierce brothers he has. He has plenty of confidence.
"Wow, Brother Wang, I think your abilities are amazing. The blood-sucking one before and this one now, uh, and the one with the snail shell on his back are all amazing! You've surpassed the seniors and are now the person I admire the most!"
Meng Changyuan's eyes widened as he gave a heartfelt compliment.
Wang Xiao curled his lips and said, "Because this is not my home ground."
Meng Chang ended the topic with one sentence: "Boss, don't say that, the food is the original sin."
Wang Xiao: “…”
With a goal in mind, everyone started to take action.
Wang Xiao's team went to the trading house to buy things and record the information of the traded items.
Hao Youjin's team first went back to Old Czech to push the carts of Wang Xiao's team and their team over. Wu Xiangwang and they went to take away the food and medicine stored in Old Czech.
As for Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun, they stayed at the dealership to figure out the conditions and upgrade options for the cart. Shang Chong was the one asking the questions, as Wu Xingyun, disliked by the weird crowd, could only sit outside, holding a mushroom and looking at the cart.
When Wu Xiangwang and the others arrived at Lao Jieke's house, he had already shed his strange cone snail transformation and was walking slowly into the house carrying only a snail shell backpack.
At this time, there were few new people in Old Czech's room. Most people went to do daily tasks on the task panel and try to earn energy coins.
When Wu Xiangwang entered the room, Old Czech was still smoking his homemade cigarette. He glanced at Wu Xiangwang, paused for a moment on the snail-shell backpack behind him, and nodded directly:
"Are you here to get something? It's in the cabinet in front, take it yourself."
Wu Xiangwang, carrying the snail shell on his back, nodded and walked towards the cabinet step by step.
His speed was obviously a bit slow, but old Czech didn't care.
Just as Wu Xiangwang was packing up his things one by one, Old Czech suddenly asked, "Are you planning to leave the city early? That won't be easy."
Wu Xiangwang paused for a moment as he put away his things, then continued, "Just because it's not easy doesn't mean it can't be done."
Old Czech raised his eyebrows. "But it's not necessary. We can stay in the city for a month and then go out."
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows and turned around: "Old man, do you believe what you said? Although I still don't fully understand the big pitfall about time, I think leaving the city early is something that must be done."
“And the sooner you do it, the better.”
"No matter what method I use, I will leave."
Old Czech narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Xiangwang. His eyes seemed particularly sharp in the dim room at this moment.
But Wu Xiangwang looked at him calmly, without any retreat or avoidance in his eyes.
Old Czech suddenly started to laugh silently. He looked very, very happy, but as if he was afraid that his laughter would alarm something, even though he was so happy, he only made a little sound.
"Good, good boy."
"Then leave! Do whatever it takes to leave early!!"
"Since you've decided to leave early, let me tell you a few more things."
Old Czech put out the cigarette in his hand, and his face was difficult to see in the smoke.
"First, if you leave the city prematurely, you'll likely trigger a wanted order from Carnival City. When out in the wild, you must learn to disguise yourself and be wary of anything strange and...human."
"Secondly, the second city closest to Carnival City is the City of Peace. I haven't been to that city, after all, I stopped at Carnival City. But I have heard rumors about it. It's a city that makes people never want to leave.
It's said that many people stop there and refuse to move forward. I don't know what dangers there are, but that city is definitely much more dangerous than Carnival City, where danger is visible."
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. You should understand what I mean, right?"
When Wu Xiangwang heard the news about the second city for the first time, he couldn't help but frown while taking careful notes.
The city of peace and happiness?
This name really made him feel uneasy.
Wu Xiangwang sighed and nodded: "I understand, old man. I will be careful with my teammates."
Old Czech nodded, and Wu Xiangwang thought that he had nothing more to say after this.
However, at the moment when he was about to step out of the door, the hoarse voice of Old Czech came out:
"Finally. Don't trust anyone... except yourself."
“If you are able, find accommodation in the city and do not stay in random gathering places.
Some people look human, but perhaps even scarier than ghosts."
Wu Xiangwang paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally left the house, leaving a message for Old Czech.
"Don't worry."
“I only believe in myself.”
When old Czech in the room heard this, he started laughing silently again. He even laughed until tears came out. After a long time, he coughed and nodded.
Good boy, then let me see how you are going to leave this city.
How big a wave can you create, how fierce a fire can you ignite?!
We are strangers who cannot return home, but we still hope that someone who comes after us will be able to leave this hellhole.
Even if they step on our corpses and our shoulders.
Afterwards, Wu Xiangwang and his friends went to the car dealership to upgrade the cart.
The three carts have all had their board areas expanded, with additional core batteries and steering handlebars, transforming them from carts into motorized tricycles.
Among them, the upgraded tricycle of Wu Xiangwang's team is a little bigger and faster than the motorized tricycle of Wang Xiao and Hao Youjin's team, because they directly upgraded the two carts into one. In addition, with the preferential treatment of the beauty mission, the car dealer obviously put more care into this car.
Comparing the three tricycles is like the difference between the luxury plus version and the ordinary version.
However, having an electric car is enough, and Wang Xiao and Hao Youjin are very satisfied.
Just upgrading the three core batteries of the cart cost 3,000 energy copper coins, plus the vehicle modification fee of 1,000 energy copper coins. Wu Xiangwang's request to add a windproof and rainproof carport to each vehicle cost another 1,500 energy copper coins. This made Wangwang Xiannan, who originally thought that having 100 silver coins, or 10,000 energy copper coins, was a lot, feel the financial constraints.
According to the news from Wang Xiao, the lowest-grade purification stone costs 1,000 energy copper coins each, and the second-grade one directly soars to 10,000 energy copper coins, which is simply unaffordable.
He completed the beauty mission and got a high-level purification stone, but Wang Xiao and Hao Youjin's team still needed two.
So adding and subtracting...it seems he has no money left.
At night, Wangwangxiannan was lying on the roof of the dilapidated house next to Lao Jieke's house, worrying about money for the first time.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money for now.
As long as you find the right sucker, money will soon come to you.
The night carnival in the carnival city has begun.
He could feel several murderous auras coming straight towards him from the direction of the city lord's castle.
The young man lying on the roof suddenly had a fierce look on his face. When the three "sack-clad" monsters pounced in front of him, he had already covered himself with crimson amber armor and was ready for battle.
"Sister, you have chosen the most wrong path."
Don’t you know that young couples get more and more addicted the more they take things apart?
