Time flies.

Ji Xun spent two peaceful days.

In the past two days, apart from going on missions to collect corpses from various streets in the East Fifth District, he almost spent the rest of the time in the morgue practicing the Golden Fragment Breathing Technique.

Practicing breathing techniques is already very boring, especially for beginners.

The breathing method to condense the mantra requires breathing in the particles of various elements free in the air, and then working with those formulas to circulate them in the body for a week.

The whole process requires full concentration and there can be no mistakes in the process.

Otherwise, once the Qi is dispersed, the cycle will be useless.

It's like counting silently from 1 to 10,000 in your mind without interruption or falling asleep.

The effect of this golden fragment far exceeded expectations.

But similarly, the difficulty of practice is several times more difficult than the [Great Darkness Breathing Method].

The difficulty of each cycle is probably like silently counting from 1 to 10w.

It’s no wonder that the owner of the book shop finds it strange to learn the breathing method of absorbing various elements.

After all, this is simply not something that ordinary people can digest.

To control multiple elements, including breathing, and to maintain the delicate balance of the magic power of each element in the body is so difficult that ordinary people cannot understand it.

Just getting started is very difficult.

Even Ji Xun himself had no confidence that he could master this breathing method in a short time without the trickster's "Comprehension 10" prerequisite.

Fortunately, he has enough understanding.

And his temperament can endure loneliness.

As long as he is not on a mission, he can sit still for most of the day.

His super high understanding allowed him to quickly understand some tips of the breathing method. After becoming familiar with it, it gradually became like breathing, as if it were an instinct.

At least I am already very proficient in the first level of formula.

No one from Governor Cao's family came to the door, the trouble in the Tailor Street cellar was gone, and no strange people came to disturb him during this period.

The mantra value is skyrocketing every day.

Everything is moving in a good direction again.

...

Although Ji Xun himself had no trouble these past two days, the city of Sinless City was very lively.

Corpse collectors always have access to many crime scenes and can get more first-hand information.

Field missions have become more frequent in the past two days.

Later, when I inquired about it, I found that in addition to the commotion I had caused in the black market on Anyu Street two days ago, it had led to many armed fights in the city.

What's more important is a rumor spread in Innocence City.

There are reports from the intelligence dealers that the Cao family of the Governor's Mansion has obtained an extremely high-grade ancient relic!

Some people say that it is the mysterious relic that "Lone Wolf" Baron brought out in Devil's Crossing. Others say that it is a catastrophic artifact brought by a mercenary group related to the cataclysm. There are also rumors that the treasures in the 407 space were taken by the Cao family.

Got it... Various versions are available.

All in all, it is a treasure.

There is also a high reward on the black market in Innocence City, and a mysterious person pays a lot of money for this treasure.

Therefore, in the past two days, unknown persons have been sneaking into the Governor's Mansion to investigate, and even assassinated the Governor and his family many times.

Ji Xun's first reaction when he heard the news was not to wonder what kind of relic it was.

Rather, I feel that someone wants to fish in troubled waters and mess up the situation in Innocence City.

Even the news about the relic was spread deliberately by someone.

It was like someone threw a stone into the pool, and the water suddenly became muddy, exposing some tortoises, turtles, and silver carp that were originally hidden in the mud.

The fact was as he expected, the fighting in Innocence City had become more and more frequent in the past two days.

Because too many hidden stakes of the Cao family have been deployed on Dark Rain Street, the conflict between the Governor's Mansion and several major gangs in the lower city has become more acute. Recently, many outsiders with unknown forces have poured into the city, and local gangs have been at war with each other, and some have even attacked.

The Nugget Pier is the only way to the Old World.

In retaliation, various assassination bounties appeared on the black market targeting the Governor's Mansion. The bounty for killing a law enforcement officer was 200,000, and the bounty for killing a Governor's Mansion guard was 500,000... There was even a bounty for the Governor.

The price increased the unrest in Innocence City.

There is a sense of chaos about to come.

This also resulted in the crematoriums of the major corpse collector branches almost never stopping.

Ji Xundao also likes this kind of excitement.

The more lively the Cao family is, the less time they have to find themselves.

Others will also think that the treasure has fallen into the hands of the Cao family.

Furthermore, the quality of corpses harvested from missions is much higher.

Although corpse collectors are at the lowest level, they can participate in the aftermath of many high-end incidents.

Ji Xun felt that with this situation, there was no guarantee that there would be another big opportunity like "Tailor Street Cellar" again.

With the aura of a bad luck gambler, he felt that the possibility was quite small.

Risks certainly coexist.

But Ji Xun had little expectations.

...

However, there was one thing that Ji Xun never thought of.

He came to work as a corpse collector in order to devour extraordinary properties.

But they ignored the occupational diseases of corpse collectors.

Ordinary corpse collectors are exposed to pollution all year round, and their bodies will inevitably become weaker and weaker.

But because of the [Feast], Ji Xun's body became stronger day by day.

The physical fitness value is now around 3.6, which is more than three times as high as before.

The increase in attributes is also reflected in the body shape, and the muscle dimensions are also much larger.

Although all the melee professionals in the streets of Innocence City are strong men, the corpse collectors should not be.

This forced Ji Xun to wear some loose clothes and pretend to be weak due to his hunched body.

Occasionally, when the Qi and blood are too strong, a light smoke will appear on the face to pretend to be polluted.

Fortunately, my acting skills in my previous life were solid and I haven’t missed any flaws yet.

But as time goes by, he will get stronger and stronger, and this will become a big problem.

Ji Xun was also wondering how to solve this hidden danger.

...

After lunch, Ji Xun came to the office of team five.

Today is payday.

Corpse collector is a high-risk occupation, and the salary is paid once a week.

I knocked on the door, and it happened that captain Dongjiu and two other people were inside.

With no friendship other than work, Ji Xun walked in and said directly: "Captain, I'm here to collect my salary."

Dongjiu watched him coming, opened the drawer, took out a thin stack of banknotes, and said, "This is yours."

Ji Xun took it and knew that the number was obviously wrong without even counting it.

The advertised salary for a corpse collector is 3,500 per week, and the most he has in hand is more than a thousand yuan.

He asked directly: "I see that the company's recruitment notice says..."

Before he finished speaking, the old team member beside Dong Jiu, the mangy Liu, seemed to know that he would ask this question, and said sarcastically: "Do you think the captain doesn't take care of himself? If there is no captain..."

Ji Xun was completely uninterested in listening to this guy's words. Before he finished speaking, he confirmed again: "You mean, I can only take so much?"

What he didn't understand was that the three of them had long regarded this position as a cash cow.

You don't have to do a lot of work, but you get a lot of money, all by working together to squeeze new people.

Hearing this, Dongjiu looked over with squinted eyes and asked: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Sometimes, one look can tell that someone is truly evil.

Before his exile, Dongjiu was a bandit who committed murder and swindled goods. One of the other two was a rapist, and the other was a trafficker involved in illegal human trafficking. Neither of them were good deeds.

Ji Xun's expression remained normal as he listened, and he said calmly: "Oh."
