Chapter 1

Numerous demons and monsters curiously peered and observed. Upon closer inspection, they found that the cyan sphere did not exhibit any extraordinary characteristics. It was truly just an ordinary grass and wood fruit.

That's it? Disappointing, the demons thought.

Just as the demons were curling their lips in disdain, they saw the tiger demon wearing a Taoist robe shudder violently. Its eyes glazed over, and its bright red tongue couldn't help but lick its lips, saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.

"Hey? Brother Tiger, are you alright?" a familiar monster beside him asked hesitantly.

The tiger demon ignored him, staggering towards Li Ang, swallowing his saliva as he said to him, "How much for this fruit?"

Li Ang closed the wooden box. "Any rare and exotic treasure will do."

The tiger demon reached into the sleeve of his robe and took out a transparent, rope-like object resembling a jump rope.

"A brown-cheeked deer tendon!" an informed monster couldn't help but exclaim. "This deer tendon is tough and elastic, unbreakable by knives and unburnable by fire. It is a good material for mortals to make bed crossbows, and ancient cultivators also used it as a belt."

Li Ang nodded, put away the deer tendon, and handed the wooden box to the tiger demon.

The tiger demon opened the wooden box, his nostrils twitching as he smelled the catnip. He swallowed his saliva, reluctantly closing the wooden box—he had a premonition that this grass and wood fruit would allow him to be closer to the state of "Zen" during meditation, which would be of great benefit to his cultivation.

Xing Hechou, who had witnessed Li Ang exchanging Taobao catnip for extraordinary items, was almost dropping his jaw. He softly asked Li Ang, "...Can't the inventory only hold twenty items? How can you bear to use a slot for common items like catnip?"

"The inventory can indeed only hold twenty items, but what I bought on Taobao was a 'lucky bag' worth 500 yuan that can hold all kinds of daily necessities. It contains combs, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, small snacks, razors, and even lighters, dog food, and catnip."

Li Ang explained softly, "This kind of lucky bag has a large capacity, and the things inside are strange and varied. It's hard to say when it will be useful in a mission, and the entire lucky bag is judged by the system as one item, so it has value in being placed in the inventory."

Th-there's such an operation?

Xing Hechou stared blankly at Li Ang, unaware that Li Ang had formulated strict experimental procedures, planned scientific test tables, and spent a lot of effort in order to test the bottom line of the system.

A lucky bag bought from Taobao is counted as one item, but if you put a lot of things in the bag yourself, it cannot be recognized by the system as the same item—this somewhat inexplicable system judgment is also a major feature of the Killing Game.

After the tiger demon's transaction was completed, the atmosphere at the scene became much more lively.

Li Ang then used a water smoking qiang worth 400 yuan to exchange for a fire rat fur coat with its own temperature control system that was warm in winter and cool in summer from the rat demon.

He exchanged a 24-yuan Darlin Klimycin phosphate gel acne cream for a piece of green, deadly diseased skin from a plague ghost.

He exchanged a 56-yuan Mentholatum eye drops for relieving fatigue from a cyclops who overused his eyes for a two-meter-long bone spine.

The other members of the mission team watched as Li Ang exchanged a large pile of Taobao goods for all kinds of strange things from the demons and ghosts, and it seemed as if various shop promotional loudspeakers were ringing in their ears.

"Jiangzhe Wenzhou Jiangzhe Wenzhou the largest smoking qiang factory in Jiangnan smoking qiang factory closed down, the bastard boss Huang He gambled and owed 350 million and ran away with his mistress, we have no way, can only take water smoking qiang low wages, the original price of three hundred more than two hundred only twenty yuan!"

"Nine yuan nine you can't buy a loss, nine yuan nine you can't buy a dupe!"

"Clearance sale, jumping off the building sale, the last day of losing money sale!"

One transaction after another was completed rapidly. For Li Ang, cheap Taobao goods could be exchanged for special items, which could be sold to the system store for valuable game currency.

For the demons and monsters, those 100% junk goods that could not be refined into magic weapons could be exchanged for overseas specialties such as water smoking qiang with the special purpose of "focusing the mind and promoting cultivation," which was also a profit.

Both parties to the transaction were very happy. Happiness is the only thing that matters.

The barter trade came to an end, and Li Ang looked at his backpack, which was bulging with all kinds of "garbage," and sighed that reselling was the fastest way to make money.

Just then, a gust of Yin wind blew, and the candlelight in the Great Hero Hall flickered, distorting the demon candle shadows on the walls.

Tap, tap, tap.

Light and dense footsteps gradually approached, and four ghostly figures carried a sedan chair, floating lightly from the distant shadows of the trees.

The sedan chair was huge, with a golden roof like a four-sided sloping roof, and the sedan chair was surrounded by a circle of black and red curtains, beautiful and imposing.

The four people carrying the sedan chair were not so good, wearing scarlet short shirts, with blue faces and fangs, long ears, red noses, and moist lips, each with its own ugliness.

The figure walking in front of the sedan chair was wearing a spotless white long shirt, and his face was even paler than the clothes on his body.

Li Ang's pupils shrank sharply. In his spiritual sense, the four people carrying the sedan chair and the figure walking in front were all ghosts, and all of them were fierce ghosts with extremely heavy resentment, baleful aura, and Yin energy, much more powerful than the possessed ghost he encountered in the school parking lot that day.

The ferocious fierce ghosts who were enough to ravage one side were just sedan bearers, so what about the person in the sedan chair...

"The Real Person has arrived!"

The ghost in white shouted loudly, stepped on the ground with his cloth shoes, and flew up lightly, landing outside the gate of the Great Hero Hall.

The two sedan bearers walking in front did not fly up, but walked up the steps. In order to maintain the absolute balance of the sedan chair, the ghost sedan bearers walking behind extended their arms by a large margin, holding the sedan wood high above their shoulders.

The sedan chair slowly stopped under the gate of the Great Hero Hall, and all the demons and monsters' eyes were focused on the curtain of the sedan chair.

An ordinary cloth shoe stepped out from behind the curtain, followed by a leg, and then an old Taoist priest with a celestial appearance, kind eyebrows, benevolent eyes, and a youthful appearance.

"It's him, it's him!" Chai Cuiqiao howled miserably in Li Ang's body, "He is Daozhi Monk!"

Swish,

Most of the demons and ghosts stood up in unison, greeted the old Taoist priest with polite greetings,

"Master Daozhi, it has been many days since we last met. Your magic power has improved by several points, making us feel ashamed of ourselves."

"Hearing is not as good as seeing, seeing is better than hearing! Seeing you today is enough to comfort my life!"

"Master Daozhi's magic power is boundless, may you enjoy eternal happiness and live as long as heaven."

Most of the demons and ghosts did not have a high level of education, and their words of greeting and flattery were also very crude and direct—anyway, everyone was a monster, and their skin was very thick. Why not have wine to drink after a few words of flattery?

Master Daozhi, who was praised by the crowd, smiled and stroked his beard, shaking his Taoist robe, "Please don't call me Daozhi in the future. My current name is Wang Guan."

"Daoist Wang Guan's magic power is boundless, may you enjoy eternal happiness and live as long as heaven!"

"Daoist Wang Guan is mighty and domineering, making me sincerely admire you!"
