“Is there anyone who wants to buy an umbrella? It's raining.”

A hunched-over, blind old woman was trudging through the pitch-black forest in the pouring rain, groping her way forward, muttering to herself. She often slipped and fell because the road was slippery in the rain.

Her tattered clothes were covered in mud and leaves, almost unrecognizable in their original form.

“Is there anyone who wants to buy an umbrella? It's raining?”

The blind old woman was drenched from head to toe, yet she still spoke in a hoarse, miserable voice.

Her tragic and pitiful appearance resembled those lonely old people who drifted in the corners of society, unnoticed by the masses, and could only rely on setting up stalls on the street to make a living.

It was enough to arouse anyone's sympathy.

*Rumble.*

A clap of thunder suddenly rang out, and a figure holding a black umbrella, cloaked in a red coat, emerged from the forest, standing firmly in front of the hunched-over woman.

As if sensing something, the blind old woman raised her head and stared blankly ahead with her cloudy eyes. “Is there anyone who wants to buy an umbrella? It's raining?”

Li Ang slowly said, "Want to know about swimming and fitness? Shi Wa Xing Ge Fitness Club is having a grand opening special! Equipment annual card is 880 yuan, aerobic pass is 980 yuan, warm family card is 1280 yuan, and there's even a 30-day super weight loss training camp..."

The old woman seemed not to have heard him at all, and said to herself, "Is there anyone who wants to buy an umbrella? It's raining?"

Li Ang: "Old lady, wanna buy some Da Guan tea? One can is one serving of tea. Drinking it yourself is a matter of taste, offering it to others is a matter of face. Master-made, purely handmade, insisting on premium raw materials from the original place of origin, adhering to traditional craftsmanship, I would call it a classic masterpiece."

Old woman: "It's raining..."

Li Ang: "Excuse me, madam, can I borrow a few minutes of your time? Do you know about Amway?"

Old woman: "It's rain..."

Li Ang: "Senior, this junior would like to recommend a shoe cleaner to you. It quickly cleans stains on the shoe surface. If you're not interested, I also have postgraduate entrance examination materials, postgraduate entrance examination lecture products, and certificate training courses here. I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."

Old woman: "It..."

Li Ang roared, "It's raining your head off! Can't you see I have an umbrella?"

He held up the black umbrella and strode forward, sighing, "These days, ground promotions are really becoming less and less conscientious. They don't even bother to do the preparation stage of accurately analyzing the target audience and dividing up the promotion area.

They even hire this kind of pitiful old woman to be a promoter, and she doesn't even use an umbrella while promoting umbrellas.

How can users feel at ease and satisfied with this?"

As Li Ang spoke, he drew out the bronze long scythe from the void. The smooth blade of the scythe reflected the dazzling lightning.

"Young man, you want an umbrella, right?"

The hunched-over old woman stood in place, a strange smile挤压着appearing on her wrinkled face. "Ten yuan apiece..."

She stretched out her skeletal, skinny arms, and slowly but firmly pressed them against her head, slowly "pulling" it off.

The old woman's head, still bearing the smile, was squeezed by her hands, suspended above her neck.

A string of pale spinal bones connected to the bottom, and bright red blood dripped continuously.

*Shua la*—

The old woman's messy, dry, pale hair floated up against the torrential rain and wind.

Her head as the umbrella frame, her bones as the umbrella handle, her hair as the umbrella cloth,

The old woman held up the "umbrella" and walked toward Li Ang step by step. With each step, the leaves stuck to her clothes shook and fell.

The cloudy eyes of that head were wide open, about to split apart.

Her jaw suddenly dropped, opening wide like a snake, and she roared hoarsely, "Time to pay up!!"

"I told you I'm not buying an umbrella!!"

Li Ang roared, the divine mark on the back of his hand flashed and disappeared, and his body expanded imperceptibly.

The bronze long scythe, slashing diagonally, suddenly accelerated in mid-air.

Wrapped in a vast wave of energy, it slashed toward the old woman who came to offer her head.

*Boom!*

At the last moment before the old woman was about to collide with the scythe, she instantly placed the head-umbrella horizontally, trying to use her hair as the umbrella surface to block the blade.

However, the moment she truly came into contact with the scythe, she realized how terrifying the power attached to it was.

Under this blow, the old woman flew straight out, crashing heavily into a tree trunk. A huge gash appeared on her body, running from her shoulder to her abdomen, and bright red blood gushed out continuously.

And that horrifying "umbrella" was cut in two on the spot.

The umbrella surface and ribs were split in two, flying into the air, and then falling under the pull of gravity.

On the two halves of the face that fell into the muddy pile of fallen leaves, there was still an expression of extreme horror.

*Tap, tap, tap.*

Li Ang held up the umbrella and walked forward unhurriedly.

He casually released a [Shard Scatter], blasting up the two halves of the head on the ground, which were trying to escape by using their hair as tentacles.

He swung the bronze long scythe, making a horizontal slash, and divided the head into four pieces.

The old woman, or rather, the urban legend existence disguised as an old woman, died on the spot.

The headless body that had fallen under the tree also stopped struggling at the same time.

"Next time you do ground promotions, remember to think clearly about the user's needs first."

The system's notification sound of experience points and game coins arriving rang in his ears.

Li Ang sighed and activated the Soul Harvesting effect of the [Soul Harvesting Bronze Long Scythe], extracting the old woman's spiritual body and forming an irregular white crystal the size of a walnut, with mottled black threads inside.

The special effect of the Soul Harvesting Bronze Long Scythe is to extract the spiritual body of the life killed as a crystal.

For life in the real world, this is undoubtedly equivalent to being completely annihilated, extremely cruel.

But in this fictional world, constructed from the power of all living beings' thoughts and scattered with terrifying urban legends, it was more than appropriate.

"Is this the spiritual crystal?"

Li Ang weighed it and found that the crystal contained a certain amount of Yin energy. He asked to himself, "See if this thing is edible."

Chai Da小姐's head poked out from his chest, her eyes wide open, and her slender fingers quietly reached out, cautiously poking the white crystal.

"It feels like it can be eaten..."

Chai Da小姐 said uncertainly, reaching out to hold the crystal and closing her eyes to ponder for a moment.

The white crystal could be seen shrinking continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an ice cube melting in the sun. In the blink of an eye, only a small black piece remained—it seemed that those impurities had been left behind, remaining in the last part of the crystal.

"It really can be eaten!

(?????)ノ

So awesome!"

Chai Da小姐's eyes lit up. "It can provide about one-tenth of the maximum amount of Yin energy!"

Chai Chai, as a unlucky丢脸Chimei who didn't leave home halfway,

Has neither a stable upgrade system for players, nor the Chimei's power inheritance,

Can only rely on accumulating Yin energy to gather strength.

Feeding her spiritual crystals was like throwing meat buns to a dog, never to return.

"Oh?"

Li Ang nodded and stuffed the crystal, now only a black piece, into his pocket. "Very good. There are many evil spirits in this forest, enough for you to eat.

Let's hurry, they're still waiting."

"Okay, okay."

Chai Da小姐, who had eaten a meal of Yin energy, shrank back happily,搓着 her hands, looking forward to a full meal today.
