Chapter 5: The Shot!
Mia nodded, then shook her head.
In this place full of trash, food was very valuable. Even those people who spent their days scavenging through the trash for food were malnourished and constantly suffered from lack of food. In fact, everyone who lived in this place was constantly on the verge of starvation.
Su Xiao also took out a few pieces of pressed biscuits from his bag.
While he was outside, he noticed that there was a forest not far from this "dump". With the gun in hand, he didn't have to worry about the lack of food at all.
Mia took the pressed cookie with some trepidation. She had never seen food like this before.
Under Su Xiao's guidance, Mia opened the cookie package and took a careful bite.
— Delicious~, " the girl who had been walking around hungry all day happily ate a whole pack of cookies.
— Your name is Mia, right? Show me the way, and I'll give you some more cookies in return.".
Mia stared at the other packet of cookies in Su Xiao's hand and swallowed. "Okay, but you have to promise not to hurt me.
Su Xiao didn't answer her and just got out of the dilapidated house, and Mia followed him.
— Where do you want to go? You're not a resident of the Gray Terminal, are you?
Su Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a cold light appeared in his eyes. A moment later, he threw a packet of cookies on the ground and crushed it under his foot.
— Lead the way and don't ask me anything.
If Mia did anything strange, Su Xiao would immediately shoot Mia in the head.
Mia was stunned by Su Xiao's actions and took a few steps back.
— Mia didn't dare say anything more than that and quickly walked forward.
— Take me to the entrance of the Goa Kingdom, " Su Xiao vigilantly looked around, and from time to time, he saw people with fierce eyes.
After these people noticed Su Xiao's gun, they immediately averted their greedy gazes.
Thinking back to what he had seen in the anime, Su Xiao started to think about his plan.
The so-called "Grey Terminal" was actually a huge garbage dump, and this dump was formed because of the Goa Kingdom.
These fierce-eyed people were originally ordinary residents of the Goa Kingdom, but they ended up either committing some crime or insulting the nobles.
In this huge dump, fires broke out every now and then, which made the local air even more disgusting and poisoned the already difficult life of local residents..
The most obvious manifestation of this was that Su Xiao's "health" parameter dropped from 100% to 98%.
There were no doctors or food. In this place, crime and various diseases were commonplace. In this place, a person's strength meant everything.
Following Mia's lead, Su Xiao quickly exited the Gray Terminal and walked to the high wall.
The high wall looked impregnable, and soon Su Xiao saw the city gate.
— We should stop here. The kingdom of Goa has a law that those who are exiled from the kingdom cannot enter the city and will be executed as soon as they are discovered, " even though Mia said this to Su Xiao, she kept glancing at his cookies.
After tossing Mia a packet of cookies, Su Xiao focused his attention on the gate. Mia, after receiving the cookie, immediately ran away from him and hid, after which she began to watch him.
The gates of the Goa Kingdom were wide open, and there were several guards standing on both sides of the gate.
It was just a small passageway, the role of which was to facilitate the discharge of new batches of garbage.
Even though these guards looked lazy and carefree, a cold light would flash in their eyes from time to time.
Su Xiao was in no hurry to enter the city. He was waiting for an opportunity.
He wouldn't be able to handle these guards. The inhabitants of this world were extremely strong. Even Mia was almost able to get out of his grip and actually recovered very quickly, which caused Su Xiao to be constantly alert.
Su Xiao guessed that the stats of these guards were at least at the ten point mark, if not higher.
One hour... two hours... it was midday and the temperature rose rapidly. Su Xiao's long-awaited opportunity finally arrived.
A cart full of trash started to leave the city. A pungent smell of rancidity and a very pungent smell of something stale spread everywhere from this cart. The guards didn't even want to approach her, let alone examine her.
— My lords, an inspection? the coachman asked and stopped the cart.
— Hurry up and get out of here, your cart stinks too much, " the guard said and waved his hand wearily.
When Su Xiao saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows and began to carefully follow the carriage.
After the cart entered the territory of the Gray Terminal, the driver stopped it near one of the garbage clearings and began to throw out the garbage. The coachman, who had previously looked very docile and kind, had a dagger on his belt.
The Law of the Jungle-the main rule of the Gray Terminal.
Lighting a cigarette, the coachman picked up a shovel and began clearing the clinging debris from the cart.
While the coachman was sweating profusely, Su Xiao began to quietly sneak up behind him. Just when Su Xiao was about to knock out the coachman, he stepped on a piece of broken glass.
*Crackle*
There was a sharp sound, and the coachman's body shuddered.
Su Xiao was also stunned. In this dump, there were always layers of various garbage under his feet. He always stepped on something and simply couldn't tell what was under his feet.
But since he was already quite close, Su Xiao rushed forward.
The coachman was clearly not a simple and uncomprehending person. He turned around, grabbed his dagger, and immediately tried to stab straight at Su Xiao's chest.
The coachman's vicious expression made Su Xiao realize that his opponent would fight to the end.
Su Xiao's eyes turned cold. In this battle, either he or the coachman will die. Showing the slightest hesitation in such a situation will lead to one thing-death.
Raising his gun, Su Xiao pointed the muzzle at the coachman's head.
If a gun was pointed at an ordinary person, they would definitely stop or try to hide immediately, but this coachman sped up.
Su Xiao pulled the trigger and flames and smoke flew out of the gun's muzzle.
*Boom!*
The sharp smell of gunpowder began to spread from the muzzle. The lead bullet hit the coachman squarely in the head. After twitching a couple of times, he fell to the ground and stopped moving.
[Notification: You killed a black market merchant
Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 5 points.
The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 65 points.]
[You have received a treasure chest (white)]
[Your first murder took place.
You have been granted access to a space of 2 square meters.
After returning to Paradise, you will be able to upgrade your space with Paradise Coins.]
This notification let Su Xiao know that this wasn't an ordinary coachman at all, but a black market merchant who was most likely using the identity of an ordinary coachman to pull some shenanigans in the Gray Terminal.
And after the merchant died, a wooden chest appeared over his corpse. This chest was white and was the size of a palm.
Su Xiao tried to lift the wooden chest, and even though it was only the size of a palm, it was quite heavy.
[Treasure Chest (White)
Open?
yes/no]
Su Xiao didn't open it, but instead stuffed this chest along with his gun into his newly acquired space.
As soon as he wanted to take out a gun from his space, a silicon gun immediately appeared in his hands. Su Xiao was very satisfied with this portable 'inventory'. He got access to a very practical thing. Given the uniqueness of this ability, if he uses it to its fullest extent, it will definitely be of great help to him in completing tasks.
Since it wasn't safe here right now, Su Xiao decided not to open the chest. If he opened it and rays of light came out of it or something, then he would be in great danger.
Right now, the first thing he needed to do was enter the capital of the Goa Kingdom.
Su Xiao took off his clothes and quickly changed into the coachman's clothes.
After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao still began to apply impure water and earth to his clothes and body. Soon, his clothes and face were soiled that it was impossible to see his face clearly.
After taking the driver's seat, Su Xiao took the reins in his hands and the carriage moved back to the city.
The coachman's dagger, of course, he also took away, but this dagger was quite large... unusual?
