After leaving the area where Asura was, Ye Shiwen once again embarked on his journey of exploration (and money-making).
Now that he had such a powerful curse ability, Ye Shiwen felt a little inflated. He no longer had to be careful when he was on his way, instead, he walked in a straight line.
With big strides, Ye Shiwen felt like he was the most handsome guy in this mountain range!
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Ye Shiwen lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ye Shiwen, who was shocked, jumped up from the ground like a rabbit. He turned around and saw a brass bell floating above the area where Asura was.
The brass bell had a simple design and was engraved with various ancient characters. It floated in the air and rotated slowly.
Just then, he could vaguely hear curses coming from afar.
Under Ye Shiwen's astonished gaze, the bell suddenly fell. The shaking of the ground stopped and the surroundings returned to normal.
Ye Shiwen was speechless.
Ye Shiwen thought it was Asura's doing. He thought for a while and turned around again, ready to continue his journey.
After all, there were still 95% of the area that he had yet to explore. He could return to Beiqi happily after he was done.
By then, he would have to treat himself to a good meal.
Thinking of this, Ye Shiwen suddenly felt inexplicably excited.
After all, he was a poor man. It was easy to be satisfied.
After taking a few steps, a rabbit that was startled by the shaking of the ground suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside him. It then crashed into the tree next to Ye Shiwen.
The rabbit could not help but roll its eyes and fall to the ground. Its legs kicked and twitched twice.
"Holy sh * t, it hurts!" The rabbit quickly stood up and began to rub its head with both of its hands while speaking in human language.
Ye Shiwen was stunned. He was even a little nervous because he was familiar with this rabbit.
It was the rabbit that he had experimented with the effects of the curse previously.
At this moment, the rabbit in Ye Shiwen's eyes had a huge debt of 63 soul coins. Naturally, it felt a little guilty when it saw its creditor.
"Rabbit?" Ye Shiwen asked in a low voice.
Hearing the voice, the rabbit immediately stopped rubbing its head and turned its head to look at Ye Shiwen.
"Coo coo coo!"
"Can't you talk?" Ye Shiwen was stunned.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Rabbit began to play dumb, taking small steps back with a vigilant look on his face.
Suddenly, Ye Shiwen realized that the rabbit seemed to have forgotten that he owed it a huge sum of money.
He instantly released a breath of relief in his heart.
"It's good that you've forgotten!"
Rabbit looked at Ye Shiwen and muttered inwardly.
He seemed to have met this woman before, but why did she look at him with such fear in her eyes? Was she afraid of him?
With that in mind, Rabbit asked tentatively,
"We know each other?"
"Yes!" Ye Shiwen said without hesitation.
"How do you know each other?" Rabbit asked cautiously.
"You owe me a spiritual material!" Ye Shiwen said with a guilty conscience.
"Impossible, I can't even afford to eat spiritual materials myself, how could I owe you a spiritual material!" Rabbit's bloodshot eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's okay. You don't have to return it. I'm not a stingy person." Ye Shiwen continued to say with a guilty conscience.
"That's still impossible. Tell me, why do I owe you a stalk of spiritual material!" The rabbit asked stubbornly.
"You ate it just now, and then you suddenly lost your memory!" When Ye Shiwen said this, he was obviously not confident.
Rabbit heard this and looked at the big tree he had just crashed into. He couldn't help but rub his head and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that he lost his memory from the crash just now?
That can't be. I've been cultivating for hundreds of years, how can my body be so fragile!
Thinking of this, Rabbit couldn't help but raise his head and ask:
"You really didn't lie to me?"
Ye Shiwen nodded quickly.
"You said it yourself, you don't have to return it." Rabbit said immediately.
"Yes, yes, I don't have to return it!" Ye Shiwen nodded quickly.
"Then what else do you want?" Hearing that there was no need to return it, the nervousness on Rabbit's face immediately dissipated, and he continued to rub his swollen rabbit head.
"Are you familiar with this area? Can you be my guide? "Ye Shiwen asked with slight anticipation.
If there was a creature familiar with this mountain range as a guide, Ye Shiwen felt that her exploration progress would be much faster. After all, she hadn't opened up the map yet. She was shrouded in fog, and it was easy to walk into a dead end.
In that case, she could only turn back and take a detour, which would be a waste of time.
Hearing this, Rabbit raised his head and glanced at Ye Shiwen.
"Are there any benefits?"
"I don't need you to return the spiritual materials, do I?" Ye Shiwen said guiltily.
"You said you don't have to return it first, then made a request, so the first matter has been waived. This is the second matter, and there must be a reward." Rabbit said seriously.
To Ye Shiwen, she could talk about anything except money.
No matter how hard and tiring it was, it was impossible to talk about money, unless she was the one benefiting from it.
But without Rabbit's help, it would take her a long time to complete the task.
This made Ye Shiwen very conflicted.
After thinking for a while, Ye Shiwen said with a bitter expression,
"How about a piece of dry bread?"
"What's dry bread?" Rabbit asked doubtfully.
"An expensive delicacy!" Ye Shiwen said her evaluation of dry bread.
This sentence was not mixed with any exaggeration, because this was Ye Shiwen's actual evaluation of dry bread that was priced at 0.5 soul coins.
If it wasn't for the fact that he would die from hunger, Ye Shiwen felt that he could go hungry for a long time.
In this way, he could save 1.5 soul coins for a day, 45 soul coins for a month, and a "huge sum" for a year.
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with the concept that dry bread was an expensive delicacy, and it was in line with the logic of the poor.
Rabbit, who had never heard of such food, could not help but fall into deep thought, then asked curiously,
"Can you let me see what dry bread looks like?"
"Let's finish it first!" Ye Shiwen, who did not want to spend soul coins to buy it, could not help but answer.
After all, he only bought dry bread when he was in urgent need, and never stocked up.
This was because every time he spent soul coins, Ye Shiwen felt a pain like his flesh was being cut.
"Then how do you want me to believe you!" Rabbit suddenly glared.
"Why don't you try to believe me for once?" Ye Shiwen felt that she was obviously at a disadvantage in the conversation with Rabbit, and she did not have any imposing manner to speak of.
Rabbit rubbed its head, and its eyes flickered.
Naturally, it was very familiar with this mountain range, so it would not be a problem to be a guide.
However, it did not know if it should believe the girl in front of it.
Although it had lived for hundreds of years, Rabbit's social circle was actually very small, so it was not very sure if the agreement to pay for the work was trustworthy.
After thinking for a while, Rabbit said with a serious expression,
"Do you provide food during the work?"
Hearing this, Ye Shiwen said without hesitation,
"No!"
Rabbit's eyes widened. "Then what do I eat?"
"You're a rabbit, eat grass!" Ye Shiwen said as he pointed at the nearby weeds.
Rabbit: "…"
"I'm a rabbit who has cultivated successfully, I don't eat grass. That's for the lowly rabbits!" Rabbit could not help but scold.
"Then what do you eat?" Ye Shiwen looked stunned.
Rabbit pointed at the top of a big tree beside them. "Leaves!"
"That works too!" Ye Shiwen nodded.
Thus, a poor player and a muddle-headed rabbit made an agreement to explore.
From Ye Shiwen's point of view, exchanging a piece of dry bread for a guide was a huge loss!
However, from Rabbit's point of view, it seemed like he had made a huge profit!
After reaching an agreement, the man and the rabbit set off.
During this period of time, Ye Shiwen told Rabbit about his plan to explore the entire mountain range.
Rabbit did not mind. To it, it was just wandering around the mountain range every day, so it did not matter where it went.
That afternoon, under Rabbit's lead, Ye Shiwen found that his exploration progress was indeed much faster, and he even bypassed a few areas with ferocious beasts.
Rabbit's value rose in Ye Shiwen's eyes.
This piece of dry bread did not seem to be a loss!
The sky gradually darkened, and Ye Shiwen, who had been walking with Rabbit for the entire afternoon, was finally hungry.
Looking at the hunger bar that had turned red, Ye Shiwen felt uncomfortable.
Although he wanted to endure it, it seemed that if he did not eat soon, he would enter a weakened state, to the point where he had no choice but to eat.
Ye Shiwen had no choice but to stop moving forward. Then, he found some dry wood, took out a lighter from his space, and lit the fire. Then, the man and rabbit sat around the bonfire.
At this moment, Ye Shiwen turned to look at Rabbit and said, "Rabbit, go find some leaves to eat."
"Then what do you want to eat?" Rabbit asked curiously.
"I will think of a way, you go eat first!" Ye Shiwen said seriously.
"Do you want to eat dry bread behind my back!" Rabbit glared.
Ye Shiwen's expression changed obviously, and he became very guilty.
"Only for one person!"
"I'll just have one bite!" Rabbit tried to negotiate with Ye Shiwen.
"No, it's too expensive!" Ye Shiwen immediately refused.
Rabbit heard this, but was not surprised.
After all, in its heart, dry bread should be a delicacy that was comparable to spiritual ingredients, and the request for one bite was indeed a little too much.
After thinking for a while, Rabbit rubbed its swollen head, turned around and went into the forest.
After Rabbit left, Ye Shiwen clicked open the game shop, selected the food category, and selected dry bread.
She stomped her feet, clenched her teeth, and bought one!
Taking out the dry bread from her space, the bread was still steaming hot, and the smell of wheat filled the tip of her nose. Ye Shiwen could not help but show an intoxicated expression.
She would never get tired of eating it!
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and took a bite.
"Hmm?" Chewing the bread, Ye Shiwen's brows slowly furrowed.
Why is there no taste?
Ye Shiwen did not believe it, and took a few more bites, but the taste of the bread still did not change, and Ye Shiwen felt like she was eating paper.
This made Ye Shiwen stop eating, and she fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Ye Shiwen seemed to have found the reason, and immediately opened the game shop again, and clicked on the food category list.
So I forgot to open the food list, no wonder the taste is bad! Ye Shiwen thought to himself happily.
Looking at the many delicacies on the list, Ye Shiwen smiled sweetly.
Drawing cakes to appease hunger, looking at plums to quench thirst, and the self-deception mode was immediately activated.
When he bit down …
The smile on Ye Shiwen's face froze.
Why is it still like eating paper? It's completely hard to swallow!
I bought inferior goods!
Ye Shiwen's mind suddenly emerged the "truth" that she thought.
After all, these dry bread were made by the players, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes.
Thinking of this, Ye Shiwen looked very angry.
I spent so many soul coins, and I actually bought inferior goods. How can I tolerate this!
Thinking of this, Ye Shiwen continued to eat indignantly. No matter how bad it was, she must not waste it!
After all, it was too expensive!
