Chapter 30 The Red Box
As Kang Min awoke from her daze, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
She knew that she had won her gamble this time.
"Thank you for saving me, Miss Xiu."
Kang Min sat up from the ground, tidied her messy hair and clothes, and smiled as she thanked Xiu for her extraordinary encounter.
"You're welcome, but you'll have to pay."
"Of course, please wait a moment, Miss Xiu. I am still a little weak. Once I have recovered, I will take you to get the silver."
"The gold ticket isn't with you?" Showing off her extraordinary encounter asked in confusion.
The next moment, as if he had thought of something, his handsome brows furrowed.
"You're not lying to me, are you? You don't actually have any money!"
"Miss Xiu is too kind. Having witnessed your skills, how could I dare to deceive you? It's just that a thousand taels of gold is no small sum. My martial arts skills are too weak to carry such a large amount of money on me."
The man who actually carried a huge sum of money, more than two hundred bricks, fell silent after showing off his extraordinary adventure.
Is a thousand gold coins a lot?
I can't even afford a single exquisite perfume.
Kang Min was taken aback.
“With a girl’s abilities, it’s naturally not much. But for an ordinary person, a thousand gold pieces is already an amount that is enough to live a comfortable life for a lifetime.”
Showing off his unexpected encounter, he realized that the gold in the game levels was actually much more valuable than the game itself!
"Wouldn't it be too expensive to charge 500 gold to revive someone?"
"Expensive?" Kang Min smiled. "How could it be expensive? Five hundred gold coins may seem like a lot, but there are plenty of people in the martial arts world who can afford that amount."
"Once the news of Miss Xiu's ability to bring the dead back to life spreads, a large group of people will probably come looking for you with gold notes in hand."
"The reason why the previous elder hesitated was simply because the Beggars' Sect was a rather special case."
Show off your amazing adventure, I understand.
"The beggars' guild here is very poor."
"Unlike the beggar girls, beggar brothers, and beggar sisters in JX3, who are all incredibly wealthy."
After a short rest, Kang Min had almost regained her strength.
"Miss Xiu, I feel much better now, we can set off."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kang Min saw a carriage appear out of thin air in front of her.
The carriage was entirely red, with no side carriages, only a two-person carriage pulled by two black horses adorned with red ribbons. A red umbrella was also attached to the top of the carriage, with red tassels hanging from its edges.
Before Kang Min could react, she saw Xiu leap up and reach out her hand to her.
"Princess, please get in the carriage."
Even though she still harbored a lot of resentment in her heart, Kang Min couldn't help but smile when she saw the smiling woman.
She wondered if it was because of what she had said earlier that she had cheered herself up. As the carriage moved slowly forward, Kang Min felt that the woman in front of her was not so hateful anymore.
The other person seemed to notice her gaze, turned around, and smiled.
Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you afraid of me now?
“I’m not afraid anymore,” Kang Min sighed, revealing a rare glimpse of her true thoughts: “People who haven’t experienced death will naturally be afraid of the dead, because they belong to the unknown.”
"But I've already died once, and I know that death is just that, so naturally I'm no longer afraid of you coming back to life."
A strange sense of goodwill welled up within me.
"Because we are the same now."
The Red Box Carriage's movement speed is only 60%, which is slower than Li Feisha's.
However, it's unclear how Seasun Games implemented this, but it seems that as long as the player and the NPC are on the same mount, the distance between the two locations is no longer calculated based on the actual location, but rather based on the player's map size.
Therefore, even though the actual distance was quite far, Xiu Qiyu and Kang Min arrived at their destination in just a few minutes.
As Kang Min stepped down from the red palanquin, her beautiful eyes sparkled with delight.
"This place is hundreds of miles away from where we started, yet we arrived in such a short time."
Even though she had already exaggerated the origins of Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter to an extreme degree, Kang Min was still shocked.
"Miss Xiu, could you perhaps truly be from a fairyland?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he waved his hand and said, "It's not exactly a fairyland. Although it's a bit fantastical, JX3 is still a martial arts game."
"Just think of me as someone who came from an extremely far overseas country."
Hearing this, Kang Min became even more convinced that the other party came from the fairyland.
Aren't they all talking about the fairy mountains overseas? Maybe she is the legendary immortal of Penglai.
Fortunately, I didn't know what he was thinking when he showed off his adventure, otherwise I would definitely have argued back loudly.
Our Seven Show Sect is an internal martial arts sect, far inferior to the external martial arts sects like Penglai. Our equipment requirements are completely different!
Unaware of the other party's thoughts, the only thought behind the extraordinary encounter was...
"We've arrived. Go get the money."
Kang Min's breath hitched, and the goodwill she had felt earlier immediately dropped by half.
There wasn't a trace of any sign on her face; she still smiled sweetly.
"Alright, I'll go right away."
*********
Having once again earned a thousand gold coins, she was satisfied with her extraordinary adventure and prepared to leave. But Kang Min called her back.
Kang Min: "Miss Xiu, wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
Kang Min: "Although it may be presumptuous, I would like to ask if you are selling the carriage that brought me here earlier?"
"You mean the Red Box Carriage?" Showing off his adventures, he shook his head, remembering the quirky mount he had just switched back to.
"Not for sale!"
"I bought that for 360 yuan, I'm not selling it."
Kang Min: "I can pay double the amount."
The story of the amazing encounter shocked everyone.
"Isn't it said that currencies have different values?"
"Even at the current gold price of 860, that's roughly 310,000 taels of gold. Double that would be 620,000 taels. You're really that rich?"
Even the heir apparent of the Prince of Pingnan only has three bricks of liquid assets. Kang Min really is a man of appearances!
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked intently at the wealthy woman, waiting expectantly for her to speak.
To everyone's surprise, a huge angry emoji appeared above the other person's head.
Kang Min: "You flatter me, young lady. Such a large sum of money is far beyond my ability to come up with."
Kang Min: "It was I who overestimated myself."
Seeing the name above the NPC's head flash red again, Show Off Your Adventure and sigh.
It seems this windfall is not going to happen.
After a regretful farewell to the easily angered Kang Min, Xiu, having experienced a series of adventures, decided to go to a branch of the Beggars' Sect to investigate and see if she could find the next sucker who needed to be resurrected.
Before she even reached her destination, she saw the NPCs around her discussing how Master Xuanku of Shaolin was killed by Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect.
"I understand!" Showing off her adventure, her eyes lit up.
"Next stop is Shaolin. The masters there are all rich. We're sure to make five hundred gold coins."
*********
Hearing the noise, the disciple guarding the courtyard quickly pushed open the door and ran into the room. He found that Master Xuanku had already passed away, and his lay disciple, Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Clan, was kneeling in front of him.
"Qiao Feng, did you kill Master Xuanku?"
A large group of Shaolin monks surrounded Qiao Feng in the center, and Abbot Xuanci stepped forward to ask him questions.
"He's your mentor on the homepage!"
Qiao Feng shook his head repeatedly: "Abbot Xuanci, I did not kill my master. When I arrived, my master only had time to say one sentence before he passed away."
"What did Master Xuanku say?"
Qiao Feng honestly replied, "My master said it was you!"
What does this mean?
"I don't understand either."
"You're lying!" a young novice monk suddenly spoke up. "I saw it clearly. You were the one who injured Master Xuanku first. But the master only temporarily stopped breathing; he didn't truly pass away. You were unwilling to accept this, so you came here again and killed the master once more!"
Qiao Feng was startled. He didn't know why this novice monk was so certain about him.
"Could it be that a thief impersonated me and injured my mentor? I haven't seen my mentor for many years, and my appearance has changed, so that's why my mentor said 'It's you' when he saw me?"
"You're talking nonsense. That person clearly used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. If it were a thief in disguise, why would he also use your Beggars' Sect's signature move?"
Qiao Feng was genuinely stumped by the question.
"I truly don't know why that thief knew the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. But I really didn't kill Master Xuanku."
Qiao Feng said bitterly, "I learned some news a few days ago, and it has been a huge blow to my heart. That's why I came back here specifically to ask my father and mother for an explanation."
"Who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I found that my parents had been murdered, and a group of people, without distinguishing right from wrong, said that I had killed my father and mother."
"I happened to meet a remarkable person who has the ability to bring the dead back to life. However, his fees are too high, and I cannot afford them at the moment. That's why I came to find my mentor, hoping to borrow some money to bring my parents back to life."
"Who knew that my mentor would be murdered!"
Qiao Feng's tone was full of grief and indignation: "I don't know where this villain came from to frame me like this, but I never expected that I would know such an extraordinary person."
"If we simply invite the extraordinary person to revive my parents and mentor, my innocence can be restored."
His words left the surrounding monks dumbfounded.
"Where in the world is there any such thing as bringing the dead back to life?"
Most people couldn't believe it.
"It's true, bringing the dead back to life is really possible."
A monk stepped forward from the crowd; he was the monk in charge of handling all kinds of messages in the temple.
"I just received news that a woman named Xiu Chuqiyu has successfully resurrected Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, who had been dead for two months. Ma Dayuan has now returned to the Beggars' Sect headquarters with Elder Lü Zhang, who is also a master of martial arts transmission."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
This was also the first time Qiao Feng had heard this news. He was overjoyed.
On the one hand, he was happy for Ma Dayuan's successful resurrection; on the other hand, he was also overjoyed to have the opportunity to clear his name and resurrect his parents and mentor.
"In that case, arrange for someone to collect the bodies of the Qiao couple and bring them here with them."
With the monks in the temple vouching for him and with Ma Dayuan as a living example, the matter was naturally handled much more smoothly than before.
Abbot Xuanci made the final decision.
"But before that, please stay at Shaolin Temple, Chief Qiao."
Qiao Feng gave a wry smile: "I am no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect. Master Xuanci can just call me Qiao Feng."
“My mentor and parents are here, so naturally I won’t leave.”
Master Xuanci nodded and turned to instruct a monk.
"Also, send someone out to find the girl named Xiu Chu Qi Yu and ask her to come to the temple to save people as soon as possible."
Upon hearing the order, the Shaolin disciples immediately ran outside.
Seeing him run so fast, Qiao Feng, who hadn't had time to explain the other party's pricing, could only shout a reminder.
"Remember to bring enough silver. That girl charges five hundred gold coins to revive one person!"
Upon hearing this, the disciple paused in his steps.
Abbot Xuanci was also taken aback.
But Shaolin is Shaolin, rich and powerful.
In a split second, Abbot Xuanci realized what was happening and nodded slightly to his disciple.
"Take a few more people with you on the road, and you can go to the accounting office to collect the money yourself."
