Chapter 120: The More You Understand, the More You Realize the Greatness of Shen Rong

Afternoon.

Cheng Han did not stay at home to retire, but instead left the house, intending to go to the market to make some purchases.

For the operation of the "Cat Group Detecting Life Priests," there was no need to constantly keep an eye on it.

By now, he had already accumulated a considerable amount of extraordinary knowledge. The "Spirit Gun Bead" he personally made had the function of automatic detection.

Under the guidance of the sheriff, this group of cats was fully capable of discerning whether the life priest was nearby based on the different reactions of the Spirit Gun Bead.

In short, they were a group of highly professional feline beings.

Cheng Han walked on the street and noticed that the aftermath of the series of spider beheadings was gradually dissipating.

The faces he saw hardly showed any signs of tension or fear.

This made him sigh inwardly, "This should be the resilience of the lower class people. Despite experiencing numerous disasters, society can always recover quickly."

As he approached the market.

Cheng Han suddenly heard the discussion of passersby.

"The price of 'Fluffy Mushrooms' has increased today. Not a single stall is selling for less than four copper coins. It's too expensive!"

"Ah, these people really know how to take advantage of the situation!"

Cheng Han's eyebrows raised slightly, and he whispered to himself, "Market bullies? Interesting!"

Fluffy Mushrooms are one of the most common fungi in this world. They are shaped like a pile of tangled threads, hence the name "fluffy."

These mushrooms are easy to cultivate and have a high yield. They are usually sold in the market for two copper coins per catty and are a common food on the tables of low-income families.

Under normal circumstances, there are not many vendors selling fluffy mushrooms, so it is unlikely for them to collectively raise prices.

So, the answer is obvious—the market bullies are manipulating prices behind the scenes.

And people like them undoubtedly belong to the underground criminal forces that operate in the shadows.

Cheng Han's eyes turned cold, "I happen to be missing a humanoid puppet."

Although this matter had nothing to do with him, the spider beheading incident gave the market bullies an excuse to raise prices, so he did not intend to stand idly by.

After killing so many people, does it matter how many more he takes care of?

Of course not!

Because the character of the Reaper is inherently associated with death!

Entering the market.

Cheng Han witnessed a case of forced buying and selling.

It was a small matter.

But the nature of it was quite despicable.

"Today, fluffy mushrooms are sold in increments of five catties. If you want to buy, you have to buy five catties at once!" a middle-aged vendor with a face full of flesh shouted loudly.

"Ah? Then I won't buy!" a thin and weak woman dared not argue and could only put down the bunch of fluffy mushrooms she had picked.

The vendor became fierce and threatening, "No! You touched the fluffy mushrooms just now, so you must buy them! Five catties for a total of twenty copper coins!"

The woman was frightened and took a step back, not knowing what to do.

This vendor was strong and muscular, with strange patterns on his neck. He didn't look like a good person, and the people around didn't dare to intervene, only casting sympathetic glances.

Cheng Han immediately squeezed through the crowd and walked quickly to the front of the stall, silently taking out a metal badge and placing it on the stall.

He was not wearing his patrol uniform today, as it was his day off.

But that didn't matter.

He carried the patrol badge with him.

The vendor glanced at the badge and his face immediately changed slightly. He looked at Cheng Han's face and felt that it was unlikely.

This guy is still a student, how could he be a patrol leader?

Too fake!

Out of caution, the vendor tested with his words: "Where did this little brat come from? How dare you deceive people with a fake patrol leader? Get lost!"

Cheng Han remained calm: "Your eyes are blind, you can call the market manager."

A few days ago, he led a team to inspect this market and left a deep impression on several managers here. As long as any manager was called, the truth would be revealed.

The vendor became furious: "You bastard, I'll show you today!"

He raised his thick arm, ready to attack, but didn't dare to actually do it.

Cheng Han smiled: "I have stated my identity, and you dare to openly attack a patrol leader. I officially inform you that you are under arrest."

In the next instant.

He burst out with an astonishing momentum and shouted, "Kneel!"

This shout wasn't loud.

But in the vendor's ears, it sounded like thunder.

"Buzz~"

The vendor felt a buzzing in his head, and his nose instantly gushed out bright red blood. He involuntarily knelt on the ground.

The onlookers immediately erupted in commotion.

Many people had huge doubts like the vendor, but seeing this scene, all doubts vanished.

How could an ordinary person master the technique of making someone kneel with just a shout, except for a patrol officer who was proficient in martial arts?

Cheng Han turned around and surveyed the crowd.

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Soon after, two managers rushed over.

They saw Cheng Han's face, and their usual arrogant expressions instantly turned into flattery.

"Patrol Leader Cheng, good afternoon!"

"Welcome, Patrol Leader, to visit!"

Cheng Han stared sharply at the two managers until they became trembling, then calmly spoke:

"This guy who engages in forced buying and selling, send him to the Sixth Outpost. The area is currently lacking manpower for snow removal, so I plan to have him shovel snow for half a year."

He knew very well that these two guys were not good people. They probably received a lot of benefits on a regular basis, but expanding the matter wouldn't be beneficial. He intended to stop here.

The two managers responded in unison.

"Understood!"

"We guarantee that we will handle it properly."

The onlookers' gazes were filled with deep awe.

With just a casual remark, they sent a rude person who an ordinary person couldn't afford to provoke to the streets to shovel snow for half a year. It was truly awe-inspiring.

Cheng Han turned to the thin woman and said directly, "You want to buy velvet mushrooms, right? Follow me!"

The woman didn't dare to resist and obediently followed.

Cheng Han walked to a stall, looked at the woman, and calmly said, "Pick a pound of velvet mushrooms yourself and pay two copper coins."

This was the gentlest way to resolve the price increase incident and also the most effective method.

The stall owner didn't dare to make a sound.

Just a minute ago, the price at this stall was five pounds for twenty copper coins, but when a patrol leader personally came to buy vegetables, how could he dare to play any tricks?

Ten minutes later.

Cheng Han left a legend at the vegetable market and quickly left.

The vegetable market immediately began to rectify the situation. Every mushroom stall received a warning not to engage in any forced buying or selling, otherwise there would be severe punishment.

*

Half an hour later.

Cheng Han returned to Shanyi Lane with vegetables purchased from another vegetable market.

He immediately called for the black cat: "Sheriff, help me with a small task."

"Meow~"

The black cat responded positively.

Cheng Han activated the first-level Spirit Control Seal and pointed his finger at the cat's head: "Go to 'Lin'an Lane' and find a scum, go quickly and come back quickly."

He had interacted with many vendors and deduced the identity of the vegetable tyrant based on their connections.

This person's name was "Cai Ren," the leader of a small underground gang.

Since he had decided to cause trouble, he didn't want to wait a moment longer.

The black cat "meowed" and quickly slipped out of the house.

*

An hour later.

Lin'an Lane.

The black cat silently sneaked into a luxurious mansion.

Its extraordinary traits were becoming more apparent. Its senses were unbelievably strong, able to easily detect faint footsteps from twenty meters away.

If the sheriff deliberately concealed itself, even a patrol officer who had practiced the Nine Elements Martial Arts wouldn't be able to detect its presence.

Not long after.

Under the bed in a room, the black cat caught a glimpse of a strong man's legs.

It was Cai Ren.

It immediately spat out a pocket-sized doll.

The next moment.

A series of invisible extraordinary imprints shot out from the doll and entered Cai Ren's body.

The black cat instinctively activated its extraordinary vision.

It clearly saw strange threads of light erupting within this person's body, spreading like spider webs throughout his body.

Then.

The threads of light disappeared and could no longer be seen.

The black cat knew that this was the "concealment" ability.

Its owner had said that even a powerful extraordinary being called a "Mystic" would find it difficult to see through the disguise of concealment.

Even if Cai Ren walked in front of a Mystic, they would not be able to tell that he had become a puppet.

My owner is so amazing!

The black cat bit onto the doll and quietly left.

*

About five minutes later.

Cheng Han suddenly had a feeling.

He immediately made a deduction.

An illusion appeared:

In a small forest.

A flower cat, with a pair of round cat eyes staring at the Spirit Gun Pearl.

"Buzz~"

The wooden pearl kept vibrating, occasionally jumping a few times, as if it had come to life.

The flower cat immediately judged that this should be the phenomenon of finding the target.

It flicked its tail a few times, suddenly becoming curious, and extended a paw to touch the wooden pearl.

In that instant.

Its fur stood on end, and it seemed to have instantly gained weight.

Commonly known as - fluffing up.

No.

It should be fluffed up cat.

"Meow~"

The flower cat was scared and jumped up more than a meter high, turned around and ran out.

It ran a few steps, but suddenly heard Black's instructions, so it obediently came back and carefully bit the wooden pearl.

Black had said that the wooden pearl was very important, and if it was lost, there would be punishment.

It didn't dare to disobey Black's command.

In a moment.

The illusion disappeared.

Cheng Han couldn't help but laugh.

It has to be said that the image of a fluffed up cat is really funny.

He speculated again, and his smile deepened: "Mr. Priest, you're actually hiding in a wealthy residential area, quite enjoying it!"

The spirit gun inside the pearl, guided by a strand of spiritual power, found a target for attack.

Without a doubt.

This must be the Life Priest.

Cheng Han fell into contemplation: "The sensing of the spirit gun is obviously more vague, with an error of about sixty meters.

"This is enough to prove that Giovanni's hiding place contains an extraordinary item of considerable level, which possesses the characteristic of concealment, thus interfering with the spirit gun's sensing."

He naturally came to the conclusion and excitedly clenched his fist.

"If I'm not mistaken, this must be one of the nodes of the divine artifact 'Wanling Source Bridge'!

"If the divine artifact is compared to the 'mobile internet' of the previous life, then the function of the node is equivalent to a 'cell phone'.

"As long as I can obtain this thing, I can definitely analyze a massive amount of knowledge and have a deeper understanding of the divine artifact."

This is a completely logical speculation.

The people of this world have the protection of Wan Hao Shen Rong, so if the power of the divine artifact can easily break through the protection, destroying Shen Rong would not be difficult.

But the facts are obviously not like that.

It is not difficult to deduce that only with the help of certain "locators" can the divine artifact find loopholes and project a strand of power to descend into the Tai'an Little Spirit Realm.

By extension.

If it weren't for Shen Rong's protective barrier, the various strangeness that descended into the world would probably be ten times more, and the power of strangeness would be even more terrifying.

Xuan Shi-level and above extraordinary powerhouses, and even powerful and terrifying gods, are likely to be busy dealing with the strangeness outside the range of Shen Rong.

Cheng Han suddenly felt emotional: "The more I understand this world, the more I understand the greatness of Shen Rong."

Sorry, everyone, I'm really tired.

Today, there will only be two updates of six thousand words, please allow me to rest for one night.

Starting tomorrow, I will resume three updates of nine thousand words.
