Chapter 37: Going to the Refugee District

The girl left.

Watching her back, Lu Ming received the first main quest.

【Main Quest: Go to the Refugee District (should take a look at the lives of the lower-class people, go on a walk, best not to wear fancy clothes.)】

Refugee District, but I know the way…

Lu Ming looked around, already saw the girl's silhouette, so he had to ask for directions.

"Refugee District? That place can ah, dirty and messy, everyone dies." The man sized up Lu Ming: "Looks pretty decent, how would you think of that kind of place? If looking for a girl, I have several places to recommend oh."

"Boring." Lu Ming said.

He said he was idle, and also implied the other was talkative.

Points can be exchanged for the world's currency, and the exchange rate is very favorable; one point can be exchanged for a little.

Lu Ming, knowing the currency situation here, gave all the money he was going to exchange to the other party.

"... Alright." The man really wanted to persuade Lu Ming again, but had no money.

After learning the specific location, Lu Ming quickly set off towards.

Just half a mile from the gate, he had already made a trip to the Refugee District; time was enough, Lu Ming turned and walked into an alley.

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded: "Old brother, are you also a player?"

Lu Ming turned his head; a hand was placed on his shoulder, a bearded bald head, holding a knife, his face still not cleaned of fish scales.

"Lend me some points?" The bald head said: "I really have no points left."

Lu Ming found it interesting and asked: "How much?"

The bald head thought for a moment, then sneered: "If you keep 20 points for yourself, you're still far short."

Looks like he encountered a robbery.

Lu Ming also responded with nonsense, grabbed the bald head's hand, and punched him in the face.

The bald head was dazed by the punch, covering his nose, cursing, never expecting the opponent to be afraid of knives.

But obviously a habitual offender, after being struck, he immediately swung his knife and chopped.

"Killing a player only gives 2 points… I originally wanted to kill him!"

But after a second, he froze.

Only seeing the boy's face, he directly blocked the knife with his bare hands; the blade had already completely cut into the arm, blood flowing, yet he remained calm, as if he felt no pain at all.

"……"

The bald head released his hand and gradually retreated.

After receiving such an injury, he still couldn't change his expression? What the heck?

Lu Ming then pulled out the knife; a crimson liquid burst instantly, and in a moment, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mom!"

The bald head, frightened, turned and ran, but after a few steps his body froze, and a hoarse, strained sound came from his throat.

That knife had been driven straight into his neck.

What skill? It actually heals wounds instantly?

Is this a player skill?!

The bald head fell with a thud, his pupils gradually dispersing.

【Player Slain: Wang Lei】

【Points Gained: 5】

【Gained 3 Skill Points】

Shadow, no matter what damage it receives, heals within a short time.

And the only weakness of 'Shadow' is its shadow; one didn't expect that attacking the ground's shadow could cause damage to it.

Moreover, Shadow, lacking a livestream perspective, also sees a scene.

Lu Ming shook off the blood on his hand, but his sleeve still got some.

After the incident, he continued towards the Refugee District.

Lu Ming saw a few people curled up in a dark corner, enduring hunger, thinking that sleeping would ease the pain.

A few refugees noticed Lu Ming, casting doubtful glances, but more were fearful.

【Main Quest: Go to the Refugee District】

【Progress: Completed!】

【Points Gained: 5】

【Hint: Please players active in this area, look for clues!】

Lu Ming looked around and found that the place was indeed extremely dilapidated, and moreover, there were also stalls.

"Old thing! A fish for that price, love!"

In the distance, a stall owner pushed aside the old man's face; the old man's center of gravity stable, he fell sitting on the ground, but still crawled leaning on.

"I haven't eaten for three days… please…"

The vendor impatiently waved his hand: "，don't disturb my business."

The vendors in the area all had the same attitude.

Those around seemed accustomed to it; in a place where everyone would starve to death, such things happen frequently.

Lu Ming was thinking when a thin figure suddenly rushed; Lu Ming hadn't looked closely yet, but saw that the vendor had already covered his nose, crouched, and was wailing.

"These bullying bastards!"

Lu Ming froze for a moment; it turned out to be the girl he had just met on the street.

"…Lowly refugees, dare to hit?!" The vendor opened his eyes, his face ferocious as he stood up.

The surrounding few vendors also all gathered.

The crowd, the girl was grabbed by the collar, fists heavily struck her face.

"Cough... this kind of scum deserves to die!" The girl beat the vendor with both hands, but her resistance only earned a more brutal beating.

"Now let him die!"

The vendor raised his fist again, but this time it stopped midair, no matter how he tried to strike, he turned his head—a youth was standing behind him, and the vendor's hand was firmly grabbed by the youth.

The vendor was about to curse, but seeing the youth's splendid clothing, he was stunned.

"Let go." Lu Ming slowly said.

The vendor felt a surge of qi pressing his throat, swallowing back all the words he wanted to say.

The city official was provoked.

The vendor released his grip; the girl fell with a plop, sitting on the ground, kicking up dust.

"Sir, what's the matter?" The vendor flashed a fawning smile, and the few vendors who had gathered earlier also began to fawn.

Lu Ming only felt disgusted.

"How much money to settle this?" Lu Ming asked.

The vendor was stunned; it was obvious who he was protecting, and he hurriedly said, "It's all a misunderstanding, money..."

Lu Ming even wanted to say more nonsense, he gave all the remaining money to the vendor, then looked toward the old man on the ground.

"Take the fish and go."

The old man was stunned for a moment before reacting, he took the fish, lowered his head and repeatedly thanked, then stood up and quickly left the crowd.

"Then I'll be going as well." Lu Ming glanced at the vendor and said.

The vendor was savvy; after receiving the money, he left quickly, after all he also didn't want to provoke the official.

The surrounding vendors also all dispersed.

After a long silence, Lu Ming walked up to the girl: "Are you still alive?"

The girl didn't speak, still lowering her head, sitting on the ground with her knees bent.

"Everyone's the same, everyone deserves to die..." The girl stood up, wiped her face with both hands, then turned and left.

Lu Ming felt helpless, glanced at the fish behind him, had no choice but to wrap them all up and followed.

Need a guide; likewise, the refugee district is also convenient for finding clues.
