At this moment, Ling Yi was squatting by the roadside, a broken bowl in front of him, and a bamboo stick in his hand, begging.
Ling Yi became a beggar once again.
Passive Glutton Aura? Ling Yi randomly selected this aura with his eyes closed. Anyway, all auras are invincible, so it doesn't matter which one you choose. This time, Ling Yi did a blind selection.
A glutton, a glutton, first you need to have food to become a glutton.
He's penniless now; he's not even able to eat anymore, let alone become a glutton.
This is a fictional world based on The Return of the Divine Condor. Ling Yi doesn't know what he should do in this world. Cause trouble? It seems that apart from unifying the Jianghu or rebelling to become emperor, there's nothing else to do.
Since we don't know what to do, let's figure out how to eat first.
"I wonder which version of the Condor Return of the Condor Heroes World this is. I hope the Protagonist won't be as morally reprehensible as he was in the previous world."
Ling Yi muttered to himself, stood up, kicked the broken bowl away, threw the stick in his hand aside, and prepared to find some way to make a living.
This is Xiangyang City. Thanks to the presence of the great hero Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, the city's security is relatively good.
The sight of groups of beggars on the street made Ling Yi frown.
The more beggars there are, the harder life is for ordinary people in this era.
Most of these beggars were members of the Beggar Sect, while he was a genuine beggar.
However, none of this mattered to Ling Yi; for him, eating was the most important thing right now.
Soon, Ling Yi chose a bustling place, a market in Xiangyang City.
Vendors selling vegetables, clothes, cosmetics, and all sorts of snacks... their calls rose and fell, creating a lively scene.
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then stopped under a large locust tree. After a pause, he took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Look over here!"
Ling Yi used all his strength in that shout; it was no small feat.
It instantly attracted the attention of many people around.
"Hey little beggar, your shout startled me. If you don't give me a straight answer, we won't let you off the hook."
A middle-aged man in the crowd said with an unfriendly look.
"The horse is thin but has long hair and fat hooves; a son stealing from his father isn't considered theft; a blind old man married a blind old woman; the old couple lived most of their lives without ever seeing each other."
Ling Yi ignored what the man said and went about his business, using Lao Guo's opening poem to set the stage.
Ling Yi's words were witty and immediately made many people laugh.
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors embodied morality, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties achieved fame, the Five Hegemons and Seven Warring States stirred up the Spring and Autumn period, their rise and fall fleeting in an instant. A few lines of names in the annals of history, countless desolate mounds in Beiman Mountain, the predecessors sowed the seeds, the successors reaped the harvest, what is there to say about the struggle between dragons and tigers?"
Lao Guo's opening poem was indeed effective.
As soon as this was said, people started cheering, and a crowd gradually gathered around.
"Starting today, I, Ling Yi, will tell you a story. In this story, there are gods and demons, immortals and monsters, a righteous young man who falls in love with a demonic girl, and a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox who cuts off its own flesh to feed its daughter. The name of this story is... Zhu Xian!"
Making money through storytelling was an idea Ling Yi came up with on the spur of the moment.
It seems to be working well.
Ling Yi spoke slowly, interspersing his remarks with local dialect and witty remarks, which occasionally made everyone burst into laughter. He talked for more than three hours, from the tragedy in Grass Temple Village to Zhang Xiaofan Ling Yi the Qingyun Sect.
In reality, Ling Yi could have finished telling the story of this part of the novel in just over ten minutes, but he kept adding random details to it.
"Difficult, difficult, difficult! Morality is profound; it cannot be discussed with those who do not understand. With those who understand, a few words can be exchanged; without those who do, words are wasted. That's all for today's story."
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately became unhappy. They were still enjoying the story, and suddenly it was all over. How could they agree to that?
"Oh, please, everyone, stop fooling around. It's getting dark, and this is how I make a living. If you're all enthusiastic enough today, it means you like the story, so you can come again tomorrow."
Everyone understood what Ling Yi meant; he wanted money.
But Ling Yi's story is indeed interesting, and some people are generous with their donations.
While giving tips, people kept reminding him, "Little beggar, I've been quite hospitable, haven't I? Remember, you'll come again tomorrow."
Perhaps because they were happy to hear it, everyone was very generous. Ling Yi used the hem of his clothes to scoop up a small handful of copper coins in the blink of an eye.
Just then, a piece of silver was thrown in.
A slightly arrogant girl's voice rang out.
"Little beggar, your story is quite good. Why don't you come back with me and continue? It's a promise, you'll definitely get your reward."
Ling Yi looked up and saw that it was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was quite Linglong and cute, but she had an arrogant attitude with her nostrils pointing upwards, which annoyed Ling Yi.
Although the people around were also unhappy with the girl's words, no one said anything, clearly knowing who she was.
"I'm not going!" Ling Yi refused outright.
"Hey, you little beggar, all you want is some reward money? I'll give you ten taels a day, that's a hundred or a thousand times better than you begging here."
Ling Yi immediately became displeased and raised his voice, saying, "What do you mean by begging? I'm doing business. I'm selling stories, you're selling stories. I'm earning my living through my own abilities."
"You don't recognize me?" the girl asked.
Why should I need to know you? Do you think you're some kind of Laozi?
"You..." The girl was so angry that she pointed at Ling Yi and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Listen up!" the girl said, hands on her hips and head held high. "My name is Guo Fu, and my father is Guo Jing."
Ling Yi let out a long "Oh," then shook his head and said, "I don't believe it!"
Before the girl could speak, Ling Yi continued, "Guo Jing, the great hero, is a renowned figure in the martial arts world. How could his daughter be so unreasonable and arrogant?"
"Besides, you sound like you look down on beggars. If you really are Hero Guo's daughter, then Huang Rong, the leader of the Beggar Sect, is your mother. The daughter of the Beggar Sect' Sect leader looks down on beggars? Tsk tsk!"
These words made the girl's face flush red and then pale. She retorted angrily, "Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Ling Yi raised her head, took a step forward, and shouted, "Does Miss Guo Family intend to beat someone up in the street?"
"I... you just wait!" Of course, Guo Fu wouldn't dare to hit someone in the street, otherwise, if Guo Jing found out, he would probably give her a severe beating.
Guo Fu stormed off, and someone in the crowd reminded her, "Little beggar, this really is the daughter of Hero Guo. Offending her is not a wise move."
"Thank you for the reminder, sir. It's alright, everyone can come again tomorrow afternoon." After saying that, Ling Yi turned around with the money in his pocket and headed towards a clothing store.
The onlookers, still wanting more, quickly dispersed and left.
Inside the Five Blessings Inn, a large table of dishes was already laid out in front of Ling Yi.
Ling Yi ignored everyone's stares and just ate and drank heartily.
This is already the third round of food Ling Yi has eaten.
Under the Passive Glutton Aura, Ling Yi's stomach is like a bottomless pit; he digests everything he eats, and it's completely digested.
The attributes in the Subsystem are also constantly increasing.
However, Ling Yi discovered that eating different foods would increase different attributes. Eating steamed buns and rice would increase strength and physique, eating roast chicken and roast duck would increase Qinggong, and eating fish would increase agility.
Ling Yi ate all the ingredients in the inn during that meal.
Most of the money I earned in one afternoon was spent immediately.
However, this meal raised Ling Yi's strength to 25, constitution to 22, Internal Energy to 9, Qinggong 6, and movement technique to 11, while his other attributes remained largely Changes.
That evening, Ling Yi stayed at the inn.
Lying in bed, Ling Yi thought that this kind of life didn't seem so bad.
Perhaps, I can finally relax and be lazy in this world.
"I wonder if the Protagonist is a man who transmigrates into a woman, or a woman who transmigrates into a woman," Ling Yi murmured as he lay on the bed.
But no matter what, Ling Yi had no feelings for this Protagonist anymore.
On the other side, after returning home, Miss Guo Fu immediately summoned Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen.
"You two, come with me tomorrow to teach someone a lesson," Guo Fu said imperiously.
"Don't worry, Sister Fu, whoever offends Sister Fu is offending me, and I'll make sure they pay," Wu Dunru said, patting his chest.
" Sister Fu, you decide who to teach a lesson to," Wu Xiuwen quickly chimed in.
"Keep your voice down! Why are you so loud? Do you want my father to hear?" Guo Fu glared at the two of them.
"A lesson is a lesson, but don't break it, okay?"
"Don't worry, Sister Fu!" the two immediately whispered in agreement.
"Also, don't let anyone else know about this, especially not my father, or I won't let you two off the hook," Guo Fu warned again.
After saying that, Guo Fu stormed back to her room, flopped onto the bed, and punched the pillow twice.
Recalling Ling Yi's disdainful expression, Guo Fu felt extremely annoyed. How dare a little beggar talk back to her?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"But what happened to Zhang Xiaofan? Did he join the Qingyun Sect? The Qingyun Sect is Immortal Gate; I wish I could cultivate too."
Meanwhile, in the Ancient Tomb Sect of Mount Zhongnan, the Protagonist of this world, Xiaolongnü, was sitting on a rope, swaying back and forth like on a swing.
"Where's the Fairy Sister we were promised? Where's the goddess Ruotong? Why is she Little Steamed Bun?"
" Little Steamed Bun, you're ruining the original story, aren't you?"
"And what kind of crappy Disciple Recruitment System is this? I can't leave the Ancient Tomb, how am I supposed to recruit apprentices? Am I just supposed to sit and wait for Yang Guo come to me?"
"I was a homebody in my previous life, am I going to have to be a homebody even after coming to the Return of the Condor Heroes World?"
Xiaolongnü looked sullen.
"Oh dear, I feel like I've forgotten something. Oh right, the Nine Yin Manual! Even if you're a xiaolongbao ( Little Steamed Bun ), you have to be the strongest Little Steamed Bun."
With that, Xiaolongnü jumped off the rope and ran straight into the depths of the Ancient Tomb...
