Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 693 The Miss and the Seagull

Lin Yu and Li Nian took the two brass toads and, under the boss's guidance, soon set out on the road to "Xinglin Medical Clinic".

"This Zhu Qiansi isn't as famous as I imagined," Li Nian said calmly, his hands tucked into his sleeves and a newly bought brass toad on his head. "Hearing the puppet's description, I thought she was as famous as the sun in the Prison Mountain Realm, and that the townspeople everywhere were grateful for her kindness."

"In a town of a million people, how could a fortune teller, no matter how reputable, reach this point?" Lin Yu said helplessly. "Not to mention that puppet is suspected of concealing, exaggerating, and whitewashing Zhu Qiansi... Otherwise, seven or eight out of ten people in Liu Town are tainted by the thread of karma. Could it be that she had all their fortunes told directly?"

"Even if we take the lowest estimate, 700,000 people—she's lived in Liu Town for over ten years. Let's take the highest estimate, 40,000 days. That means she would have to tell fortunes for 145 people every day without interruption."

"Liu Town was able to become the largest town in the Two Mountains and Six Prisons back then, all thanks to her fortune-telling and boosting GDP, right? ... It can also be considered a way to promote the internal circulation of the economy."

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian burst out laughing.

"That's true... the puppet's words about his master are all embellished and filtered, so they can't be fully trusted."

"It seems that if you ask any street vendor, they'll know Zhu Qiansi. This means she's quite famous."

Li Nian said this and Lin Yu nodded.

The two walked quickly on the streets of Liu Town, heading towards Xinglin Medical Clinic.

I have to say that the stall owner didn't recommend Xinglin Medical Clinic to them at the beginning, and it wasn't because he didn't take their money and was not caring or pretending to be enthusiastic.

Simply because...

Xinglin Medical Clinic was indeed not very close to them.

Lin Yu and Li Nian are in the north of the town, while Xinglin Medical Clinic is in the southwest of the town.

Although it doesn't cross the entire town, it does cover most of the town.

Liu Town is a fairly large town. With a population of one million, it is not particularly crowded. Its area is considered the largest among the Two Mountains and Six Prisons.

It is simply impossible to find such a large habitable area in a place like the Hell of Fire - so, when Lin Yu and Li Nian walked through several streets in the northern part of Liu Town, they soon saw simple magic circles and talismans engraved on the stone tablets standing on both sides of the road.

Although it is not as effective as a formal magic circle or talismans written on yellow paper, and cannot directly make the entire hot Liu Town cool, it at least maintains the temperature at a level that is not too hot to kill people.

Especially now that it is not the summer evening, you can't feel the heat at all.

These things are not too difficult to carve and do not consume much energy, but the huge number still makes people feel a little emotional.

"Back then, your Liu Zhen was truly unique in the Prison Mountain Realm..."

It’s no wonder that Zhu Qiansi chose this place... If she could take this place as her "foundation" and "amulet", she would indeed be invincible in the Prison Mountain Realm.

No, in fact Zhu Qiansi had already done it at that time.

However, this demon still underestimated the determination of the founder of Taiqing Sect - who could have thought that the founder of Taiqing Sect would actually sink the entire Liu Town in order to kill her!

There is a sense of self-sacrifice.

Li Nian and Lin Yu thought the same thing and sighed, "To be able to sink a town like this so easily, this Taiqing Sect's founder must be quite a figure... How is this any different from blowing up Haicheng just to kill the 'fortune teller'?"

"It's still a little different. The 'Fortune Teller' isn't a good person, but he's still human after all. In terms of potential harm, we can't compare. The situation in the Prison Mountain Realm is very unique, and our world can't compare."

Li Nian nodded. "Indeed, the Prison Mountain Realm is considered one of the most ruthless and cruel of the six realms... but if you must use this incident as an analogy, it does seem to be possible."

Lin Yu looked at Li Nian with some curiosity.

"How is this analogy?"

"Of course it's Yuan..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anymore, that was a bit too hellish."

Lin Yu interrupted Li Nian.

He already knew what Li Nian was going to use as an example.

As they were talking, they had already walked deep into Liu Town.

The Liu Town here is not as lively as the one in the north just now - the north just now was mostly occupied by market stalls, but this side seems to be a residential area, full of houses and residences, and quite full of life.

Moreover, this place feels a bit like a "rich area". The houses have high walls and eaves, and the window frames and tiles are all carved with patterns. The gates are tall wooden doors with stone lions and two openings, which look quite grand.

Most of these houses have courtyards, and many of them occupy a large area.

Although there are no small bridges, flowing water, bamboo, plum, orchid and chrysanthemum in the territory of the Fire Hell, one can still vaguely see through the carved windows on the wall that there are some good-looking woody plants that can survive in the Prison Mountain Realm, and there are also some rockery landscapes.

"The wealthy families in this Prison Mountain Realm three hundred years ago were all quite refined... Even considering that Liu Town was the most prosperous town, this place was far too 'elegant,'" Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, remembering Shen Bingmiao's information. "It seems that the rumor about the Prison Mountain Realm having a 'great unified dynasty' more than a thousand years ago wasn't groundless."

According to Shen Bingmiao's records, the prison mountain realm was a thousand years ago. Although the environment was harsh, it was not as extreme as it is now. The demons were rampant but not enough to overwhelm humans. Therefore, the places were not completely scattered at that time...

The exchanges between towns and other human settlements became more frequent, and even centralized dynasties were born.

It's just a pity that one day the entire Yushan Realm underwent drastic changes. Zhengyang Mountain became hotter and Jiuhan Mountain became colder. The dynasty quickly collapsed and demons were rampant everywhere.

Gradually, the Yushan Realm completely became what it is today.

However, unlike Lin Yu's perception of the rise and fall of things, Li Nian looked at the courtyards and small buildings of these wealthy families, rubbed his hands, and had completely different feelings.

"My hands are itching! If I weren't in a hurry, I'd really like to go in and dig for gold..."

Li Nian sighed, and Lin Yu looked at Li Nian.

"This is a 'fantasy'... maybe we can't take anything inside with us!"

"Oh, I've already said it before. I don't steal for the sake of the result. The most important thing is the process," Li Nian said with a faint smile. "It's a personal hobby, a pure passion... For example, look at the hairpin on the young lady's head. When I see her, I'm like a climber seeing Mount K2—I want to climb it simply because it's there."

Lin Yu was helpless: "Don't make stealing sound so great."

His gaze shifted to the young lady of the family that Li Nian pointed out, who was about to go out and get on the carriage, and then he was stunned.

"Wait... Let's stop her!"

"Oh? You want that hairpin too?"

"What hairpin? Didn't you notice? That young lady is a seagull!"
