After numerous summoning attempts, Gu Qing Shan finally chose an evil creature.
This was a Fear Fiend with long red hair, a single horn on his head, and a similar appearance to a human.
"What do you think of this one?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lin glanced at it and replied: "Anything"
Before the evil creature noticed, Gu Qing Shan pulled out a strand of hair from his head, knocked him unconscious, and sent him back.
Of course, he still had to pay.
Before the evil creature left, Gu Qing Shan put a coin in his hand.
After a bit of thought, he put another coin in his hand.
A puff of white smoke.
The evil creature disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan held the strand of hair and activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
Very quickly, he turned into a red-haired, single-horned evil creature, wearing a pure black Silent Silence cloak, which gave him a sense of mystery.
Lin observed him: "He's not very eye-catching, but you're still a bit eye-catching after turning into him"
"Alright, that's it, I won't waste any more time" Gu Qing Shan said.
He piloted the airship, broke through the clouds, and headed towards the brightly lit, bustling shore below.
Lin pointed in a certain direction:
"Look, that hotel should be quite nice, let's go there"
"Alright"
…
Two days later.
Noon.
After practicing his swordsmanship, Gu Qing Shan leapt out of the ocean and flew back to the hotel.
Although today's swordsmanship training was over, Gu Qing Shan still had a lot of things to do.
He stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking down at the light blue ocean, silently reciting the martial scripture that Lin gave him.
It was truly miraculous.
Every time he recited this scripture, a layer of understanding would suddenly open up in his heart. Whether it was the world or the strength of his body, he would have a better understanding of it.
This was also a good thing for his swordsmanship.
"You're back?"
Lin's voice came from behind him.
"Hm, how do you feel today?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Today, one of my fingers regained 30% of its power"
Lin raised her hand, showing off a nimble middle finger.
"… Progress is too slow" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Lin handed him a piece of paper.
Gu Qing Shan took it and had a look. There were a lot of medicinal herbs written on it.
"I need these things to help my body recover a bit faster — — there's a pharmacy on the left of the hotel where I can buy them" Lin said.
"Okay, I'll go buy it now."
Gu Qing Shan put away the list and said.
Lin nodded and began to stretch her body on the balcony.
With a calm expression, she made a starting gesture and began to practice.
Because her body was seriously injured, her movements were very slow.
Gu Qing Shan looked at it for a while and sighed in admiration. Then she turned around and walked out of the room.
"Sir, are you going out?"
A beautiful maid came up and asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"The two sea view luxury suites you booked will expire in half a day. If you want to renew the rooms, please look for me at any time." The maid said with a sweet smile.
"I'll renew it now — — for one more day" Gu Qing Shan said.
He took out some coins and gave them to the maid.
"Alright, I wish you a pleasant day."
The maid counted the coins and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan walked out of the hotel and onto the street.
He couldn't help but take out the small black bag of money and weighed it in his hand.
Empty.
Besides the coin that could turn into a fridge that he didn't want to spend, there was only the # 10 coin left.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Who knew staying in a hotel would cost so much?
— — -speaking of which, Lin really does have good eyes, this hotel is the best in the entire world.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and quickly found a pharmacy on the street.
He walked straight to the entrance of the pharmacy and stopped.
Only to see the plaque on the door saying: [Specialized in injuries from injuries — — since 19,000 years ago]
Quite an old pharmacy.
A cat came out, crouched down in front of him, and asked: "Sir, do you want to buy herbs or do you need our help?"
"I need a few herbs" Gu Qing Shan handed it the list.
The cat received Gu Qing Shan's list, glanced at it, and exclaimed in admiration: "Sir, are you using them for yourself?"
"No, I'm buying them for a friend"
"Your friend is truly impressive, many of the things on this list are rare and precious herbs"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat.
As he was about to say something, the cat had already bowed and said: "Please come in, I'll help you get the herbs right away"
The cat held the list in its mouth and left.
A few dozen seconds later.
The cat had helped Gu Qing Shan gather all the herbs on the list.
"Please take a look" the cat said.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to sense the herbs.
These herbs contained a shocking amount of energy, so under Gu Qing Shan's inner sight, they seemed to be burning.
"What's the price?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The cat gave the list of herbs and a price list to Gu Qing Shan.
Looking at the price list, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to afford the astronomical amount on the list.
"Thank you very much for helping me gather all the herbs in one go"
Gu Qing Shan smiled at the cat.
"It's my duty" the cat replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then took out the last # 10 coin:
"Here's your tip."
The cat's eyes lit up.
Receiving the coin, it solemnly bowed: "A # 10 coin from the Strife Zones, this is quite valuable, you're too kind"
Gu Qing Shan then said: "I have something to do right now, so I'll have to trouble you to pack these herbs for me first, I'll come back to take them when I return, is that ok?"
"Of course! But our shop closes at 5 PM, please remember to come back a bit earlier. Meow! "the cat said.
"5 PM? Very well, thank you very much, goodbye "
"Take care"
Gu Qing Shan left the pharmacy and wandered aimlessly on the street.
It's currently 3 PM.
There's only 2 hours left until 5 PM.
There's not much time left.
— — Lin really needs to get better as soon as possible, after all, no one knows when Magic Dragon will catch up to her.
Although she's lost her Abyssal form, Lin's own martial arts realm has already surpassed the level of a Lord, not something any Combatant of this era can compare to.
Other than that, if I want to increase my Card grade, I'll need to buy a few Cards to consume.
Yesterday, I went to a large auction house that connects to infinite worlds to check the prices of Cards.
Cards are definitely the most expensive type of Card, any one of them can buy an entire world.
In the end, I still lack money.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
Where can I earn enough money?
He released his inner sight and scanned the entire world.
Entertainment, cultivation, trade, treasure auctions, the Bounty Hunter Guild, the underground casino, the World Chef's Alliance — —
Wait a minute, the World Chef's Alliance?
Gu Qing Shan focused his inner sight on this organization, then quickly moved it away.
He sighed in disappointment.
A top-notch chef requires top-notch ingredients in order to make delicious food that would drive living beings of infinite worlds crazy.
Although this world was prosperous, it wasn't a large-scale culinary world. The chefs here weren't particularly high-leveled, nor did they have top-notch ingredients, so their income couldn't reach Gu Qing Shan's expectations.
Trade, I don't know how to do business.
Cultivation?
That's based on the results of my cultivation. The funding cycle is too long, Lin can't afford to wait that long, and I can't afford to pay for the rooms either.
I'll just forget about the casino.
The Bounty Hunter Guild …
Wait a minute, bounty?
Gu Qing Shan focused his inner sight on the Bounty Hunter Guild and carefully observed what was going on inside.
He quickly found out that there were many different types of bounty hunters, each with a wide variety of jobs.
If that's the case, I might as well — — -
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned another building.
… this is good.
Gu Qing Shan nodded in satisfaction.
His figure disappeared from the street and reappeared in front of a building several thousand miles away.
This was the 900 million World Layers Hitman Guild.
Gu Qing Shan wore the Silent Dusk Cloak over his head and slowly entered the Hitman Guild.
The entire lobby of the Hitman Guild was silent.
Apart from a few clerks, no one else was here.
"Greetings, esteemed fiend sir, may I ask what you are here for?" a blue-skinned girl came to greet him.
— — why did an evil creature come to our place?
Evil creatures have always had a bad reputation, and they like to tempt people into depravity, how troublesome.
"I'm here to register as an Assassin, then earn my reward" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The girl replied: "If you're here to earn money, I suggest you become a bounty hunter, after all, a lot of bounties are shared between us and the Hitman Guild"
Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied: "Bounty hunters are too troublesome, you need a team to register, while Assassins only need to register by themselves, so I'm better off becoming an Assassin"
The girl rolled her eyes.
This fiend is too strange, who in the world would randomly choose their profession just because it's troublesome?
However, the other party was wearing a black cloak so I couldn't sense even a single bit of its presence, so I couldn't tell how strong or weak it was.
If it's a Great Evil Creature …
Fine, let's be careful.
The girl had no choice but to be patient and tried asking: "Esteemed fiend sir, the requirements to register as an Assassin are quite high …"
The meaning behind her words was clear.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What are the requirements?"
The girl replied: "You need to complete a designated assassination to become a beginner Assassin"
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: "But I have my own principles when it comes to killing"
The girl happily replied: "Then you can go to the Bounty Hunter Guild — –"
"Forget it, it's better for me to stay here, if I can't, I'll leave by myself" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The girl choked.
A male voice suddenly resounded in her ears:
"You can't be careless against an evil creature, bring him to the stone horse for appraisal"
The girl turned to the counter.
A burly man nodded.
The girl brought Gu Qing Shan to the left side of the lobby, facing a stone horse statue.
"Sir, if you truly wish to become an Assassin, you must explain your reasoning to the stone horse"
"Why?"
The girl replied: "We also don't want anyone with ill intentions towards the Hitman Guild to join our organization, but please don't worry, we're not doing this to target the evil creature"
"This is a lie test?"
"That's right, basically no one can hide from this stone horse" the girl pridefully replied.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the stone horse and went silent.
At this point, all the staff in the lobby looked over.
If someone from an enemy Guild wanted to infiltrate, they wouldn't be able to pass the stone horse's test.
Or rather, this evil creature came with ill intentions towards the Hitman Guild.
If that happened, they would all act together to take down this spy who tried to infiltrate the Hitman Guild.
Gu Qing Shan noticed the change in the atmosphere.
He shrugged and told the stone horse: "I'm running out of money, I need it"
The girl looked at him, then back at the stone horse statue.
A moment of silence.
The stone horse statue suddenly came to life.
It slowly turned around and observed Gu Qing Shan.
The stone horse replied: "What a poor bastard"
After saying this, it turned around and returned to its original state.
The girl jumped forward and grabbed Gu Qing Shan's hand that was about to draw her sword, smiling apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, it's just that it has a sharp tongue, please don't mind it"
"I'm just telling the truth, and it's the same?" Gu Qing Shan's expression turned sour.
"Ahaha, it's always like that, it's the same to us, ahaha …"
The girl hurriedly said.
Gu Qing Shan could only stop.
The atmosphere in the lobby of the Hitman Guild slowly calmed down.
But the Hitman Guild's members were looking at Gu Qing Shan curiously.
Lacking money.
Such a pure and honest reason … really … it's been so many years since I've seen one.
"Alright, I've passed the test, right?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The girl looked at the counter for help.
"Bring him here"
The robust man behind the counter said.
He put down his cigar, took out a wanted poster from the cabinet and slapped it on the table.
"Here, kill this guy" the robust man said.
Gu Qing Shan received the wanted poster and took a look.
The poster depicted a scaled snake with a man's head, holding a dagger in its mouth, currently hiding in the depths of the ocean.
This was the Snake Man, a type of ferocious strange beast that must eat the prey it just killed every day, absorbing some sort of unique energy from its prey before they died to survive.
For a normal world, the existence of such a lifeform was a threat to the ecosystem.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
He was willing to kill this thing.
"Do you have any information on this Snake Man? Where did he appear before? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I don't, you'll have to rely on yourself for everything. Once you've completed your assassination, you'll receive a beginner Hitman badge" the robust man shrugged.
"Beginner …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The robust man understood: "If you're lacking money — — and if you want to make money, you'll need to complete a lot of beginner missions, then you'll be able to advance to intermediate and advanced, at which point, the targets you'll assassinate will be harder, and the rewards will be better"
"Got it"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight.
Under the cover of the Silent Dusk Cloak, he released the entirety of his Three Thousand Worlds realm inner sight.
The sky, the earth, the ocean.
The people, the buildings, the underground.
All living beings, all things.
His vast inner sight scanned through the entire world.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes suddenly glowed.
"Found you"
He muttered.
Immediately, a simple and unadorned longsword appeared in the void.
Oong — — –
The sword turned into a streak of light that flashed through the hall.
