The trio stepped into Three-Life Town, originally thinking it would be a poor area like Fengtai Village had been, but the reality was entirely different—it was a prosperous place, except for... so issues with living standards.
Gu Shanhai had once broken through an Air Wall and had blown up the Xuanwei Sect. Although it was an immortal-type world, it was actually inclined towards modern technology, being a very comprehensive modern type.
However, this Three-Life Town seed like an uncivilized small town. He could understand if it were a remote little village, but for it to still look like this despite being a town ant there was definitely sothing wrong.
"Speaking of which, with all your experience in interdiate zones, have you ever seen a rickshaw?" Gu Shanhai pointed to a man in shorts and a short shirt pulling a rickshaw not far away.
"No, wrong era. This Three-Life Town seems to belong to the sect era before the imperial court was founded." Heavenly Immortal Drunken knew a bit about the history of this world.
Before the imperial court was founded, the entire world was governed by various sects—sothing akin to the era of warlords, except warlords could die off at any mont, but sects wouldn’t. Their strong rule lasted for many years.
"Do you have a more specific tiline?" Gu Shanhai curiously asked.
"How would I know the exact tiline? Doing quests is always troubleso," Heavenly Immortal Drunken replied with a grimace. He wasn’t a puzzle-solving player. Like Gu Shanhai, they were both combat-type players who wouldn’t rember so much. Generally, they just entered the instance, found their target, and summoned cattle to hack people down.
"Ah, otherwise, we..."
"Burn this town down, right? I really want to agree with you, but we can’t, the town is too big." Heavenly Immortal Drunken interjected, finishing Gu Shanhai’s sentence and indicating that it wasn’t that he disagreed—it was just a massive project.
"How are you even more practiced at this than ?!" Gu Shanhai was shocked. Was this the sa goody-two-shoes from his previous life?
Hearing this, Heavenly Immortal Drunken beca serious: "I’ve seen too much darkness, so my first thought is to purify them with fire."
"The way you put it, it’s all a set." Gu Shanhai felt sowhat uneasy, mainly because his teammate seed overly righteous and a bit extre.
It looked like even soone like himself, who occasionally did evil deeds from the chaotic camp, was within the strike range of the other party.
"How co your wife doesn’t speak at all? Is she that introverted?" Gu Shanhai changed the subject.
"Oh, she’s gathering intelligence. Next, puzzles are all up to my wife. If she can’t solve them, we’ll just have to charge in," Heavenly Immortal Drunken explained for White Cloud.
"By the way, how often do you guys rely on solving puzzles to complete quests?" Gu Shanhai suddenly harbored a hope that perhaps this ti they could win by lying low, as puzzles ant he could just run errands. Real combat would be way too troubleso.
"So far, we’ve succeeded three tis," Heavenly Immortal Drunken said with a hint of pride.
Gu Shanhai’s face darkened. Three tis? If there had been an extra zero, Gu Shanhai would have tolerated it, but three was ridiculous.
"So you’re proud of three tis? It’s not thirty tis. It ans we still have to force our way." Gu Shanhai felt this couple was also problematic; with brains like theirs, why bother with puzzles? Force through was the way to go; he had even thought they could win easily for once.
Heavenly Immortal Drunken gave a rueful smile, not daring to ntion that two of those tis they had received help from the generous imperial favor. He and the emperor had beco friends in Fengtai Village and occasionally tead up for instances. But recently, the emperor had ventured to a peculiar world to perfect his own system, so he was teaming up with White Cloud this ti, and that’s how they’d t Gu Shanhai.
"This instance is definitely going to be a long one; we need to be prepared to stay here for at least a month," White Cloud suddenly interjected.
"How did you figure that out?" Gu Shanhai curiously asked.
"The area is too large. Apart from Three-Life Town itself, there’s no Air Wall blocking the surroundings, suggesting it’s an explorable range," White Cloud explained to Gu Shanhai.
Gu Shanhai naturally understood, but he hadn’t expected soone to summarize it so soon.
"That also ans it’s quite difficult. One month is a conservative estimate," Gu Shanhai remarked.
Heavenly Immortal Drunken nodded, agreeing with the assessnt. Having experienced much, he was able to make so estimates.
"Next, we need to find a place to settle in," White Cloud chid in.
"Let’s rent a house. Staying at an inn isn’t cost-effective, and there are too many people talking," Heavenly Immortal Drunken said, sharing his experience.
"I should ntion in advance that I don’t have any Ga Coins because of my talents. You guys help pay, and I’ll give you these as compensation," Gu Shanhai said, pulling out a big handful of elixirs—Level 1 Blood Restoration Pills, whose effect was simply to restore health.
"I have a small question; why do these Blood Restoration Pills have an effect of ’braised lion’s head’ without any note?" Heavenly Immortal Drunken accepted them naturally. He didn’t mind much, as it wasn’t a lot of money, and after looking at the pills’ effects, he knew he was getting the better deal.
"Try one and you’ll know," Gu Shanhai suggested.
Heavenly Immortal Drunken casually tossed one into his mouth and chewed, then his eyes lit up: "Holy shit, is this really braised lion’s head?! Honey, try this."
He then passed one to White Cloud, and the two of them tasted it.
"Yeah, these are actually atballs. I don’t know why they were classified as elixirs," Gu Shanhai joined in the complaint.
