Chapter 491 The Future We See
Suichenzhou, the land of Yao, is a mass grave.

Hills of ten or twenty meters high rise and fall one after another, surging towards the land like waves.

There were corpses everywhere and the stench was overwhelming.

All the dead had young faces and were dressed in fancy clothes, without exception.

"There are so many dead bodies. Is this a huge mess?"

Although Shen Luo, who had just traveled through time, had not yet adapted to the new environment here, he had already realized that this world was not simple.

【Paid-for-Wish System】

[Anyone who realizes any wish can obtain "water"]

Looking at the blue glowing words in front of him, Shen Luo sneered: "This place is full of dead people. It's too difficult to help the dead realize their wishes. Get water, but this is not a desert. I'm not participating in a survival show. What's the use of water?"

As Shen Luo walked away from the mass grave, he browsed through his original body's memories and roughly understood how the dead came to be: the ruler of Yaodi wanted to do something big and recruited many people. These people dressed up to die and lay in the mass grave.

This is all the original body's memory, and, constrained by the times and outdated ideas, the original body has a very limited understanding of many things.

As a clear-headed and foolish college student, Shen Luo had many new ideas about this matter, and he took action to verify his ideas.

Shen Luo found a few fresh corpses, rummaged through their clothing pockets, and accepted their precious inheritance with a smile.

Some of these people are extremely young, looking no more than eleven or twelve years old, while the oldest among them may have just reached adulthood.

He was found dead in the wilderness at such a young age, but there were no scars on his body. His clothes were intact, and his pocket money was still there.

These abnormal phenomena made Shen Luo rule out one theory after another: working people, soldiers, slaves...

Shen Luo guessed that the great thing that the monarch of Yao wanted to do would require the lives of thousands of people as its source.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo could not help but speed up his pace and stop grabbing the wealth lying on the ground. If the people who dumped the corpses came and found a living person, they would kill him on the spot or capture him to make up the number, then he would be doomed.

Shen Luo walked westward with his back to the sun, and only breathed a sigh of relief when there were no more corpses in front of him.

Generally speaking, mass graves are located in the wilderness, sparsely populated. If you want to integrate into this world, you have to find a gathering place for humans.

Shen Luo walked downstream along the mountain river from noon to night, and finally saw the first ray of light.

It looked like a small village, and since it was close to the river, perhaps they made a living by fishing.

But other possibilities cannot be ruled out. After all, the world is extremely abnormal. Who can say for sure whether people living along the river eat fish on a daily basis?

Shen Luo had no choice, even if this family didn't eat fish but ate people, he had to deliver it to their door to add to their meal. Because if he didn't add to their meal, he would starve to death.

The knock on the door under the dim moonlight always has many unusual flavors.

Wang Li heard a knock on the door. His hand holding the bowl shook and the bowl fell to the ground and broke, spilling the fish soup. The fish meat seemed fine and could be eaten after washing.

Wang Li cursed inwardly and walked to the door. He was about to open it to see who it was, but his hand retracted as soon as it touched the bolt. After dark, few people in the village walked around. Could the person knocking on the door at this time be a monster from the mountains?

The house was not big, and Shen Luo, who was standing at the door, also heard the sound of broken bowls coming from inside the house. Through the door, he could clearly hear the footsteps and breathing of the person opposite.

Shen Luo thought that the other party should be more afraid than him, but after the door was opened, he was not sure he could subdue the other party immediately. After all, this was the other party's base camp. What if the man was holding a kitchen knife and waiting for him to rush in?
The two sides were in a stalemate. Shen Luo stopped knocking on the door, while Wang Li picked up a hoe and stood guard at the door without moving.

After about a minute or two, Shen Luo knocked on the door again: "I'm passing by the village. Can I come in and borrow a glass of water?"

Wang Li did not answer. It was not uncommon for the monsters in the mountains to speak human language. To subdue the monsters, at least two or three adults were needed. Now he was the only one at home, and he would never dare to open the door. Shen Luo waited for a while, but did not get a reply. He came up with another trick to put into practice: "People in the house, do you want silver?"

Shen Luo stopped waiting. The adobe wall was only about two meters high. He took out the small change he had inherited from a stranger from his pocket and threw a small piece into the yard.

Wang Li didn't say anything before he saw the silver. Only after he picked it up did he speak: "Is the young master really not a monster?"

At this moment, Shen Luo's attention shifted to the system, and he saw two lines of glowing words.

[The host realizes the wish of a first-level ability user and obtains a water ball with a radius of 1 meter]

[Water balls can be summoned and used at any time, with infinite stacking and never decay]

The person across the door was a first-level person, and the original body was also a first-level person. The first-level ability users in Yaodi were not precious at all, and anyone you picked up on the street could be a first-level person.

About 1/2 of the population has first-level ability users, and second-level ones are less common, but there are still 1/3.

To put it bluntly, a first-level ability user is just an ordinary person. Not only do they not have any superpowers, but they will also be oppressed by superpower users in high positions.

This system prompt comes out of nowhere.

For the first time, Shen Luo felt that realizing a wish was such a simple thing. He only had to ask the other party if he wanted silver, and then give him the silver, and the system would send the reward.

Shen Luo still had some silver left, so he decided to try again: "Do you still want silver?"

Without waiting for the other party to reply, Shen Luo threw another piece of silver.

Wang Li picked up the silver coins, thinking that he had to do something with them, so he went to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, held it in his right hand, and opened the door. When he opened the door, he deliberately stood on the right side of the door.

[The host realizes the wish of a first-level ability user and obtains a water ball with a radius of 1 meter]

[Total mass of water ball: first order × 2]

[Total radius of water ball: 1.26 meters]

When the mass of the water ball increased from 0 to 1, Shen Luo did not feel it very clearly. When the mass increased from 1 to 2, Shen Luo clearly felt a chill spread throughout his body, his tendons, bones, and muscles became stronger, and even his vision and hearing improved slightly.

Shen Luo smiled happily: Using money to exchange for cultivation, it's a good deal! But why does the "total mass of the water ball" seem so abstract? Just looking at the description, first order x 2, it seems very powerful. Converted into a numerical value, it is about eight tons. Considering the density and properties of water, it may not be able to kill a first order ability user instantly.

But Shen Luo quickly thought of a solution: there are all kinds of secret methods of cultivation in this world. As long as he finds the secret method of cultivation with water attributes and practices diligently, he should be able to greatly improve the utilization rate of the water ball.

After the door opened, the first thing Shen Luo saw was the rusty kitchen knife: "Put the knife away. Do you have extra rice at home?"

Wang Li saw a young man with gorgeous clothes and handsome face, which made him like this person more.

The only flaw was that the man looked pale, as if he had a serious illness.

"There's food. Please come in, please come in."

Shen Luo walked to the door of the main room and saw broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The fish meat next to the broken porcelain pieces was emitting wisps of hot steam, obviously having just been taken out of the pot.

The porcelain pieces and fish meat were lying in the fish soup, and the fish soup flowed along the uneven ground into the yard, which made people feel a little regretful.

Shen Luo decided to pay more for the meal today. After all, the money was not his. He had no psychological burden at all to use other people's money to eat his own meal. Not only did he not have any burden, but he was also very happy.
