Chapter 226: Strange Scene
Just a few dozen lives filled with greed, if they die, they die. Zhang Mu feels no guilt at all.
Watching the crowd below in awe, Zhang Mu knew his goal was completely achieved this time. He didn’t need to stay any longer, so he left with the Obsidian Beetle.
He left the rest to Long Er to handle with her team. Zhang Mu just wanted to rest now.
As for what Long Er should do next, Zhang Mu didn’t need to worry about it.
Things in this world are not always as we wish.
He had only wanted to quietly complete the Era Merchant task in Shan Xi City, then go back to Luo Yang City. After all, his priority now was to complete the promotion task of becoming a Junior Era Sub-merchant.
However, when he entered the city, his attempt to keep his taming ability low-key led to him being forcibly recruited. He met Long Qi and got involved in the war in Jin Zhong City. Just now, his face became firmly engraved in the minds of nearly ten thousand ordinary evolvers, making things a bit more difficult for him. He wondered if he could still get a mask to hide his identity, as being famous brings trouble.
First, they went into the tent to let Yuan Rui know they were safe. Zhang Mu then left Obsidian Beetle and the mutated wolfhound in the tent, and quietly left the camp with Yuan Rui.
This was Yuan Rui’s first Era Merchant mission. However, she knew she couldn’t complete the mission as quickly as Zhang Mu. The prices were stabilizing, and Yuan Rui’s Era Sub-merchant number was too low. Due to some issues at the Era Store in the city, Yuan Rui didn’t get any discounts when purchasing goods, making her costs almost 20% higher than Zhang Mu’s.
Zhang Mu’s plan was to do the Era Merchant mission with Yuan Rui. She just needed to follow him and follow his instructions. Most of the trades would go smoothly.
Suddenly, Zhang Mu realized that Long Qi had not mentioned the Era Sub-merchant in Shan Xi City. Was he deliberately hiding something? This made Zhang Mu uneasy, feeling like he was being watched. The reason for the surveillance remained uncertain.
Zhang Mu found it strange that even if an Era Merchant was exposed in Shan Xi City, with the keen senses of Long Qi and Long Er, powerful forces would control them. In the early days of the apocalypse, many Era Sub-merchants fell under the control of major forces.
Only after becoming a junior Era Sub-merchant and gaining recognition from the Era Merchant did they have absolute freedom in the city. No force or individual dared to control Era Sub-merchants anymore. Even Zhang Mu, a weak Era Sub-merchant, with the help of the invisibility cloak, had no one or force to restrain him. Those who wanted the protection of the Era Store would not sacrifice their final defense for personal gains.
Using the Era Merchant Ring, Zhang Mu sensed the location of the Era Store and quickly found it. He changed his appearance, familiarized himself with Shan Xi City, and knew that he only needed to deal with Long Qi and Long Er, who were too preoccupied to notice him now and were also afraid to confront him.
Zhang Mu recognized the location as he had remembered, but the inner city hadn’t been established yet, and the once bustling place was deserted. Zhang Mu preferred it that way.
He believed that indulgent living led to human downfall. Although the recent attack on Jin Zhong City had failed, Zhang Mu felt a glimmer of hope for humanity. Fighting against fate from the very beginning could lead to victory.
There was a residential area. Zhang Mu didn’t know why the Era Store here did not reject humans in his vicinity, and he frowned.
This meant that he would be exposed to everyone’s view entering the Era Store. Now he didn’t have his invisibility cloak. How could he make sure people around didn’t notice him?
He couldn’t kill everyone around just to keep this secret.
Zhang Mu did have a hint of hostility in his heart, but he couldn’t bring himself to massacre innocent people for his own benefit. But just standing here wasn’t a solution either.
Oh well, let’s just be seen. If I’m not seen now, I will surely be discovered when other local Era Sub-merchants return. I don’t know what this Era Store is thinking, not rejecting humans who are not Era Sub-merchants, causing trouble for them.
Whatever, let’s go!
