Drifting Sand world.
The great desert.
At dawn, the sandstorm had already begun to rage.
Gu Qing Shan stood there, silently thinking of a way to escape.
There's only one day left, which is quite pressing.
But right at this time, I can't even use the Justice Iron Fist Club's name anymore.
Because the other party must've found my whereabouts through the temporary mission, so they must've kept my face.
I killed the black-cloaked man.
They might've already sent out their subordinates to capture me and Little Dusk.
Since the black market is under the Holy Church of Death's control, I'll be walking right into their trap if I show up there again.
— — -but if I don't go to the black market, I won't be able to take a flying vehicle to leave Drifting Sand world.
This was really a headache.
After thinking back and forth for a while, he suddenly recalled what happened just now.
Little Dusk turned into a Card so that I can carry her with me.
That's right, I'm also an Envoy of Condemnation, can I turn into a Card?
As soon as Gu Qing Shan had that thought, a grey rune frame appeared around him.
The grey rune frame silently hovered in the void of space, seemingly waiting for his order.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized.
— — I can turn into a Card at any time.
His mind moved.
Bam!
Gu Qing Shan disappeared from the desert, replaced by a grey Card.
On the grey Card, Gu Qing Shan was excitedly looking around.
He found himself in a cramped and cramped environment, surrounded by grey fog, but whenever he tried to touch anything, he would hit a solid wall.
Little Dusk's Card could fit an entire bedroom, including a bed, so why does my Card only have a standing space?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a message was transmitted to his mind from the grey fog:
I must increase my Card grade in order to expand my Card space.
— — so that's why.
Gu Qing Shan understood, put his hand on the grey rune on the edge of the Card and looked outside.
He found that he could see the desert scenery outside from the Card.
How miraculous.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
With a thought, the gray runes around his body completely disappeared, and he was ejected from the card. He turned back into a human and appeared in the desert.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a while and came up with a plan.
"Shannu"
"Young master, I'm here."
Shannu walked out from the void of space behind him.
"I have a small plan" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Please instruct me, gongzi" Shannu replied.
"Use [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to transform into a human first."
"Yes."
…
Soon, a streak of light streaked across the sky and landed at the entrance of the town.
A green-clothed woman appeared.
She seemed to be a female cultivator with a clean background. Even the book at the entrance of the town did not make things difficult for her.
After passing the test, she successfully entered the town.
Since she did not have much money, the female cultivator went straight to the Labor Dispatch Center and teamed up with someone to take on a temporary task.
This was the simplest temporary task, similar to the topographic survey that Gu Qing Shan had done before.
The objective of the mission was to go to a designated desert and collect some special stones.
The reward for the mission was only 40 coins.
— — -the coin was number 1, which depicted a type of plant-eating floating monster that ate the residue of the void.
This was the lowest-level coin in the Strife Zones.
Although there were 40 of them, this amount of money was only enough to buy a single meal in the town.
Even so, for newcomers, this was a mission that they had to complete.
Before they left, the female cultivator told them that her time was limited, so she asked her two companions to hold her hand and travel together.
After that, she teleported a few times in a manner that was almost like teleportation and brought her two companions to their destination.
Her two companions were naturally shocked.
"I don't have any other skills, I just know a bit of teleportation" the female cultivator smiled and explained.
The two of them were surprised.
That's right, if they had this level of teleportation and fighting prowess, they would've already entered the black market and wouldn't need to do this kind of mission in the outskirts of the town.
Temporary tasks were very simple, they only needed people to do them.
The three of them quickly completed the mission.
The female cultivator used the same method to teleport a few times in the desert before teleporting back with her two companions.
The entire mission took 10 minutes.
The three of them turned in the mission, said their goodbyes, and quickly went their separate ways.
After all, everyone only formed a temporary party for the sake of becoming a permanent party.
The two newcomers quickly went to look for the parties they wanted to join.
The blue-dress female cultivator stayed at the black market's labor center, taking the meager amount of money she received from the mission and went to look for the party manager.
"I want to apply to create a permanent party" the female cultivator said.
"To create the most basic permanent party, you need at least three people, as well as 20 # 1 coins, have your party members register here" the manager replied.
The female cultivator nodded, bowed, and left.
She found a secluded corner of the town and took out a card from her sleeve.
"Gongzi, we need three people to create a party" she worriedly said.
Gu Qing Shan stood inside the card and said: "I heard it just now, let's go, we'll go together"
He leapt out from the card and activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
Gu Qing Shan quickly turned into Wang Cheng's appearance.
Shannu looked at him and said: "There are only two of us, we're still missing one"
"Leave it to me later" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two of them returned to the labor center.
"We want to create a party" Gu Qing Shan said.
The manager looked at the two of them and spoke impatiently: "20 # 1 coins, we need at least three people to create a party"
Gu Qing Shan gestured for Shannu to take out the coins.
He gave all 40 coins to the manager and smiled: "My friend will be here soon, please help us register first"
Taking the money, the manager's eyebrows loosened a bit.
The manager didn't say anything else and began to help them register their party.
The entire process was very quick, only stopping at the very last step.
This step required each party member to leave their appearance and voice.
Shannu first pressed on a square rock and left his voice: "Shannu, cultivator, member of Bai Hua party"
Then Gu Qing Shan.
He pressed on the rock and left his voice: "Wang Cheng, Devil Summoner, member of Bai Hua party"
The manager's attitude was a lot better now and asked: "What about the last person?"
Shannu looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Please wait a moment, I'll call him" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
He quickly left the room.
A few minutes later, another man with a dignified appearance appeared.
The man quickly walked in and apologized to the manager: "I'm sorry, I'm late"
The manager didn't say anything else and pointed at the rock with his chin.
The man pressed his hand on the rock and left his voice: "Qi Yan, cultivator, member of Bai Hua party"
The manager took the rock and gave Shannu a simple badge.
For the sake of the money, he added one more sentence.
"From now on, your party will be formed. I suggest you start with simple Quests and slowly understand this world, only then will you understand how to get rich here"
"Thank you"
Shannu and Qi Yan both clasped their fists.
They walked outside the labor center and began to look at the Quests on the wall.
"Gongzi, take a look" Shannu said.
The two of them looked.
Sure enough, Gu Qing Shan's image appeared at the very top of the Quests wall.
Not just him, but Little Dusk's image as well.
This was probably the image that the two of them left behind when they accepted the Quests.
Below their images, a bounty with an amazing reward had been posted.
The crowd was so packed that not even a drop of water could pass through, trying to see the Quests.
"The Holy Church of Death personally posted a Quest, Drifting Sand world is going to get rowdy"
Someone clicked his tongue.
"Forget it, with just us, there's no way we can even think about this Quest, the big shots of the black market should be able to do it" another person said.
Many people silently nodded as they heard that.
But their eyes were still glued to the bountiful rewards, unwilling to look away.
Gu Qing Shan silently stared at this.
So I'm still wanted by the Holy Church of Death, I'll have to be a bit more careful in the Strife Zones from now on.
"Gongzi, what do we do now?" Shannu asked.
"Of course we do the Quests and try to get into the black market as soon as possible, we need to hurry up"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze skimmed through the bounty notice, looked through all the missions on the wall, and finally chose one of them.
"We're going to take that one" he told Shannu.
Shannu looked at where he was pointing.
The description of the Quest was: [The black market's guards have issued an important Quest, searching for all information related to the Holy Church of Death's bounty. Once the information is verified, the following reward will be immediately given:]
[Black market qualification]
[# 10 coin: 1000 pieces]
[Depending on the importance of the information, the guards will increase the reward]
[Attention: If anyone is found to be cheating, they will be executed immediately!]
Reading the Quest description, Shannu froze.
She sent her voice: "Gongzi, they're going to capture you, but you're going to report your information to them?"
