Chapter 218

Maybe the adventure hall that recruits people for multi-level marketing got dissed by a big shot; up until now Bai Lang has been wandering the streets for over half an hour and still no news of any mission has come out. "Served him right, let that jerk keep recruiting people—honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it started singing its recruitment song anytime... Wait, how does that recruitment song go again? A salesperson, arriving at Xinhuali... I can't remember the rest."

The adventure hall that's been constantly recruiting people looks like it's about to go belly-up, but Bai Lang isn't too worried about being stranded in this world unable to return—he still has his insurance Yu Yu; this measly adventure hall is just a multi-level marketing scheme, what's there to fear?

This guy is currently looking at a Western mirror on the street while trying to sense the vital energy between heaven and earth, wanting to see how much of his ability he can exert—here. "A perfect ten...... the vital energy of heaven and earth here is lively, the ceiling is very high—at least I, this kind of Innate Expert, haven't been able to reach the limit. Perfect for letting someone fully display their ability! Let's treat this place as a training ground."

Since he was deployed by the adventure hall, don't look at the hall's current sorry state—it still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve—there's no way it would let someone like Bai Lang, who was deployed, have an easy time.

"No identity." Bai Lang muttered; the adventure hall didn't assign him an identity this time, but that's normal—it was the same before. There are plenty of eateries on this street, and several three- or four-story buildings with big signs—all selling food, drink, and alcohol. Bai Lang patted himself and found he still had a few silver ingots, so he immediately strode off to eat and drink first.

The food is delicious, no, it's extremely delicious. Bai Lang really hasn't eaten such tasty meals before; these dishes are full of vital energy that can nourish the body, and from them Bai Lang even tasted some "artistic conception". A crowd gathered in one place; Bai Lang watched from the third floor, "What are they doing?" The waiter answered quickly, "A competition—this time there's a chef contest, everyone's gathered to watch."

Then Bai Lang saw the light...

"This feels a bit familiar, luminous cuisine...... really a world where you can fight? Seems not wrong either—Internal Force is said to be able to ignite the Yangtze—this guy probably can't do it either." Bai Lang, now seated upstairs, looked extremely imposing, his big beard and short hair all blown out, plus a pair of drooping eyebrows, his appearance was dignified. "Sigh, this hair is a bit prickly, and being blown out it's not very handsome, nor long enough to tie up... Shopkeeper, is there a barber nearby? Sir, I want to shave my head bald and change my name to Lu Ti Xia!"

"I really want to try that glowing dish......" Bai Lang muttered, "Hey? What's this?" He smelled a strange odor that made him feel nauseous, and when he looked up at the waiter, the latter showed no abnormality. This smell wasn't coming from the waiter here; it suddenly appeared in the restaurant. Bai Lang looked left and right and saw the other diners were perfectly normal, as if they hadn't smelled it.

This wasn't normal—Bai Lang didn't think ordinary people could still eat calmly after smelling something like that. But the odor came and went quickly; before Bai Lang could continue observing, it vanished just as suddenly as it had appeared—"Even an air freshener wouldn't dissipate that fast."

After finishing his meal, Bai Lang paid with silver ingots and rented a room next door at the inn—since the adventure hall had been reduced to this sorry state, it seemed there would be no missions, perfect for training. Until he found a place to make money and buy a house, he'd stay at the inn. "The price isn't cheap, but the silver on hand can support a month." Bai Lang made his decision.

If Bai Lang didn't deliberately release his aura to communicate with heaven and earth, his martial practice wouldn't produce any noticeable phenomena. He practiced in the inn's backyard courtyard; the waiter didn't find it strange—if such a big guy didn't know martial arts, that would be a waste of this face and physique. "The whole night was very quiet...... or rather, unusually quiet." Bai Lang also wondered, his innate Divine Sense had detected nothing.

"Are you new here, little brother?" Bai Lang asked casually; this was already the third day, and the inn's waiter—at least the one before him—was not the same person. "Where are you from, guest? I'm Liu Three. You're joking, guest." Bai Lang looked at this waiter, gesturing that he could leave. "Oh...... did I really misremember?" Bai Lang suddenly realized he wasn't quite sure what the waiter looked like.

It seemed to be this person; a few days ago it was the same, and logically an Innate Expert's memory is reliable and rarely mistaken. Bai Lang also scratched his head, "Really just one person?"

These days he'd also been searching everywhere for ways to make money, learning that the quickest way here was robbery or hunting rare foodstuffs. "Bounty hunter works too, but does this world really have so many strange and exotic foods to gather?" Some foods were simply natural disasters, at least Bai Lang thought so. And chefs who studied culinary arts were also martial arts masters—Bai Lang was mentally prepared for that.

Bai Lang noticed even the shopkeeper had changed, yet still bore the same name—"This sense of dissonance is getting stronger; I also feel like I'm forgetting things." After leaving, Bai Lang bumped into a patrolling official again, "Everyone's been replaced...... wait!" Bai Lang suddenly felt as if a lightning bolt had split the fog in his heart, "Isn't this official in robes originally the inn's shopkeeper?"

"Has my perception also gone awry? Right, the people here...... their identities keep changing!" Bai Lang was also greatly alarmed—this world wasn't simple—at first he had gloated over the adventure hall's misfortune, feeling no danger after arriving here, and unconsciously let his guard down; if not...... he activated his divine skill, forming a small wind that swirled around him. If not for today's lucky discovery, he might have gradually blended into this world.

What would he become then? Bai Lang didn't want to find out.

As an Innate Expert, the innate true qi in his body was likely why he had held out this long; once he detected an abnormality, Bai Lang would naturally break free of its influence. The heaven and earth vital energy of this world probably couldn't be used—at least not for cultivation—Bai Lang had already sensed its peculiar distortion; the sharp true qi of Southern Dipper White Tiger Fist circulated through his body, directly expelling all abnormalities.

Now Bai Lang stood on the street, gazing at the sky lost in thought; soon he turned into a wisp of clear wind—since Southern Dipper White Tiger Fist had been mastered, his Lightness Skill of wandering alone for ten thousand li had changed, becoming the ability to transform his body into wind, like a wind god. Bai Lang shot out of the city, wanting to charge Yu Yu with electricity; Bai Lang knew he'd probably have to unleash a slaughter......
