Chapter 1401: Chapter 604: Abandoned Land, Origins of the Charm_2

If word of this got out, it would definitely leave people utterly baffled.

Is the state’s grand strategy really building toilets?

And in this country, are the citizens flies and maggots?

"Vampire Emperor, thank you. With your method, the charm really just knocked and left.

But is this a one-time trick, or can it be used forever?" Zhao Song asked nervously.

The team members stared at the group chat, feeling tense.

"This is my Divine Oracle. In your world, it can naturally be used continuously," Qi Yuan said lightly.

Divine Oracles are complex and mysterious.

So is his special ability.

Combining special abilities with Divine Oracles produces peculiar effects.

"Thank you, Vampire Emperor!" Zhao Song exclaimed, his face lit up with excitement.

Seeing this, Expert Liu understood that it was time to prioritize the grand strategy of building public toilets.

After all, it’s a welfare policy that could save so many lives.

When encountering a charm, the first thing to do is run to the toilet.

It could save your life.

But then someone said: "What if the charm appears and we don’t have time to get to the toilet?"

That’s a valid point.

The appearance of charms is always bizarre and could happen at any moment.

And hunting might commence in just a few breaths.

Who has time to run to a toilet?

Are we supposed to turn the entire Sky Federation into a public toilet?

Expert Liu looked at Zhao Song and asked, "What if we can’t make it to the public toilet in time?"

Zhao Song repeated Expert Liu’s question.

At this moment, within this plane of existence, Qi Yuan appeared in front of a pig trotter rice restaurant.

Even with a high chance of charms appearing at night, business still had to go on. You can’t just starve to death, right?

Seeing the messages in the group, Qi Yuan said lightly, "That’s easy, just dig out some earwax. As long as you’re doing that, no human can touch you, and neither can the charms."

Qi Yuan felt particularly clever.

Everyone knows that when you’re cleaning your ears, no one is allowed to disturb you.

So the same applies to charms.

"Cleaning ears?"

The members of the expert group were flabbergasted upon hearing this.

"Could this really work?"

"It feels so weird!"

"I don’t know why, but as ludicrous as it sounds, it feels somewhat reasonable!"

After all, charms leave when anyone uses the restroom.

It seems normal for charms not to disturb you when you’re cleaning your ears, right?

At this moment, the owner delivered a steaming hot serving of pig trotter rice.

Qi Yuan took the pig trotter rice and began to eat with relish.

"Ah, the taste of Hex Technology. It’s been so many years since I’ve tasted this flavor."

Through the Divine Oracles, he had already determined the coordinates of several worlds.

So, he decided to descend.

And upon arrival, he started with pig trotter rice.

"Handsome guy, can I get your contact information?"

Just then, a young girl in hot pants approached. Her shorts ended at her thighs, revealing long, straight calves. She smelled faintly of alcohol, wore heavy makeup, and dressed maturely, yet she appeared young and brimming with youth.

Not far away, her girlfriends were either laughing or taking videos with their mobile phones.

"Sorry, I’m already married. My kids could even go fishing," Qi Yuan refused.

Being handsome is problematic, it attracts all sorts of nuisances.

The girl in the hot pants flashed a look of disappointment in her eyes.

After all, it was her first time seeing someone as handsome as Qi Yuan. It felt... like encountering a male celebrity.

No, even a male celebrity doesn’t possess such a unique aura.

"Although I can’t take your contact information, there’s one of your friends I’d like to meet," Qi Yuan said, looking towards the five young women, a smile in his eyes.

The girl in the hot pants was taken aback, not expecting the handsome man to take interest in her friends.

She couldn’t help doubting her own attractiveness and felt a bit gloomy, "Which one?"

"The one wearing red, with long hair to her waist, who only has one arm."

"My friends aren’t wearing red, and none of them are disabled!" the girl in hot pants insisted, turning her head to look at her friends. Her expression then froze on her face.

"Charm... It’s a charm!"

The rest of her friends seemed startled by her outcry, realizing something.

They looked and their expressions froze as well.

"Charm!"

"Wuu, charm!"

There, standing eerily behind them, was a solitary specter.

The specter had only one arm, was dressed in red, had long hair, and most importantly, it wore an expression that would instinctively strike fear into anyone who glanced at it.

This was a specter that could snatch away a person’s life, standing shoulder to shoulder with them.

Watching the specter, they felt like mice in the presence of a cat, a chill running down their spines, some even dampening their shorts.

"May I invite you, the lady in red, to enjoy some pig trotter rice?

This pig trotter rice is quite tasty, more palatable than an assembled meal, and of a higher standard," Qi Yuan said earnestly.

This dish costs twenty-six yuan.

It’s not something you can compare with a few bucks on a budget meal.

The shorts-clad girl was stunned; Qi Yuan’s words sent a jolt through her and brought her back to her senses—somewhat.

"She—she’s not human, she’s a specter!"

Now she deeply regretted why she had to go out for a stroll with her sisters tonight.

At the same time, she was also curious how this handsome man knew it was a specter and seemed unfazed.

Could it be he has a screw loose, or some intellectual problem?

"Hey, do you want to come over for some pig trotter rice?" Without waiting for the girl in shorts to call out, Qi Yuan shouted himself and gestured to the specter.

The other young women were briefly baffled by this.

This person is inviting the specter for pig trotter rice?

Is he insane?

Madman!

Why would a specter pay attention to humans?

Yet, at that moment, something utterly unforeseen occurred.

The specter in the red dress simply glided towards Qi Yuan.

"The specter answered his call?"

"This—"

The girls were both shocked and bewildered.

The next second, the red-dressed female specter sat down beside Qi Yuan.

The sight caused the women to panic; they were at a loss whether to walk away or flee.

Because if you run from a specter, you might provoke it, and it could bring forward its slaughtering.

"This pig trotter rice, though a product of technology and hard work, has truly good rice. Here, have a taste," Qi Yuan pushed his rice toward the specter.

His eyes were filled with a touch of curiosity.

[Specters, peculiar beings created after the death of a creature, typically found in the Abandoned Land.]

This piece of information surprised him a bit.

The Flowing Wind Realm of old was known as the God-forsaken land, unseen by sun or moon, due to the Deception Tablet.

And now, this place seemed to be the Abandoned Land.

Regarding the Abandoned Land, he had seen brief mentions in a few books while browsing the Scroll Repository some time ago.

Apparently, a True God died in the Abandoned Land.

Qi Yuan didn’t have much information about the Abandoned Land.

It seems, when he had time, he should head to the Scroll Repository to discover what oddities the so-called Abandoned Land contained.

The specter sat next to Qi Yuan, picked up the chopsticks with its left hand, and started shoveling his unfinished rice into its mouth.

The young women around them were startled by this sight.

The specter was actually accepting a human’s invitation to dine.

Was this a dream?

Or had the world of Yin and Yang gone mad?

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the specter with an expression of appreciation.

"You lost an arm and are still so formidable, scaring all these people. If you were missing both arms, wouldn’t you be even stronger?"

The specter, which had been eating, now stopped and stared at Qi Yuan with an intense, ghastly gaze.

Qi Yuan looked at the specter with curiosity in his eyes.

In the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the multitude of universes, he had seen countless creatures and races.

The Stone People Clan, metallic lifeforms, silicon-based lifeforms, you name it.

Yet, like this specter, it was his first encounter.

Although similar to the odd beings of the Divine Wood Universe, it was fundamentally different, or rather, not a creature at all.

If one were to talk about similarity.

Qi Yuan recalled when he had the Strange Painter use the Mountain and River World Brush to draw the Netherworld for him.

When the Netherworld was freshly created, some filthy things arrived speaking indecipherable mutterings.

Later, Qi Yuan became a language teacher, instructing those filthy things in language.

Finally, those things conveyed their intentions.

"No... soul... seek... return..."

Eventually, those filthy things congealed into the Tablet of the Deceased and were placed inside the Netherworld.

To Qi Yuan, this specter before him resembled those filthy things somewhat.
