Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

"Please elaborate on this, friend." Lu Li walked towards somewhere calmly, with a curious look on his face.

"What's there to talk about..." Youwei looked impatient and spoke in a resisting tone.

The next moment, he saw a yellow thing flying into his arms. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said:

"It's rare that Brother Lu Li is interested in these dust people, so I will just say a few words."

"Dust dwellers, as the name suggests, are beings so humble as to be in the dust."

"In fact, their ancestors were also powerful Ascendants like us at the beginning."

"It's just that innate ability is not like a hereditary title that can be passed down from father to son and from son to grandson."

"Many times, a couple with both gold-grade talents may give birth to children whose only children are bronze, without even a single silver-grade child."

"In this world where strength is respected, generations reproduce one after another, and thousands of years pass by."

"Naturally, many powerful descendants of the Ascendants have vanished into the dust and become lowly mortals."

"Without combat power, there is no value."

"But people still have to eat after all."

"In order to survive, these people with low talents and abilities can only make a living by doing some heavy physical work."

“For example, farming, mining, construction, etc.”

“It was sustainable at first.”

"But as the number of Dustmen increases, the number of jobs that can provide production value decreases, and gradually, the fierce competition we have today has formed."

"In the Chen family's main domain, we recruit workers every quarter to absorb 'fresh blood' from the dust people to fill the labor gap in the logistics area."

"Those dust folks who greeted us warmly just now are here for the job opportunities next month. They want to get to know us in advance so that they can start work smoothly when the time comes."

"I see..." Lu Li stopped twenty steps away from his destination.

Pretending to be very interested in the small stall in front of him, he continued to ask while flipping through it:

"It seems that the benefits of becoming a miner of the Chen family should be very good."

"Otherwise, those Dustmen wouldn't be so eager to get involved, right?"

Chang Wei had seen Lu Li throwing the gold nugget to Youwei before, and his heart was already burning with anger.

Seeing Lu Li raise a new question, he quickly answered:

"Bullshit, being a miner is not a job for humans at all!"

"Not to mention the hard work day and night and the poor rest environment."

"Once the dust dwellers enter the mines, few of them live past sixty!"

Lu Li turned his head slightly and glanced at Chang Wei.

A piece of gold of the same size was thrown out and fell into the other party's arms along with the question:

"Are they crazy? Why are they still scrambling to work for the Chen family?"

"Hehe, because after entering the mine, I can at least live past forty-five!" Chang Wei bit the gold nugget in his hand with his teeth, his eyes lit up, and he grinned:

"If they stay in the outer city, not to mention the daily exploitation and theft, the cracks that occur in the rules alone are enough for these people to endure."

“It’s hard working in the mines, but it’s just hard work.”

"With my friends and I guarding us like this, the miners will just die of exhaustion at most, and they won't end up in the monster's stomach and turn into stinking feces."

"And we are guaranteed two meals a day. Compared to the days outside where you are full one day and hungry three days, this is simply happiness!"

"Since life is so difficult and dangerous, why does the population of this outer city seem to be so large?"

Lu Li casually picked up a few pieces of talisman paper on the stall, and asked indifferently while observing them.

"With many children, there are many opportunities!" Youwei lazily took over the conversation:

"Although the quality of a child's innate ability is somewhat related to the parents, the nearly three-quarters chance of mutation makes those Dustmen have an almost crazy obsession with giving birth to children with high-quality talents."

"From a certain perspective, the more children you have, the greater the probability of giving birth to high-level talents and abilities."

"As long as we can give birth to a child, our parents and brothers will all become rich because of the child, and live a life without worries about food and clothing!"

“That’s why the current situation has come about.”

Lu Li curled his lips, handed a few pieces of talisman paper to the stall owner, and asked for the price:

"How much are these?"

Perhaps because he saw Lu Li casually tossing a piece of gold to the Chen family guard, the stall owner came up and said loudly:

"Fear Talisman Paper is a good thing, one piece is worth at least one or two ounces of refined gold!"

"It's a bit expensive, isn't it?" Lu Li pretended that he couldn't bargain. He said something disdainful, but his eyes refused to move away from the talisman paper.

"Ten pieces, five taels, how about that?"

Hearing this, Youwei rolled his eyes behind Lu Li and was about to say that five taels of fine gold were enough to buy one hundred fear talismans.

Before he could open his mouth, Chang Wei at the side stopped him with a look.

When the stall owner heard Lu Li's offer, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be hurt:

"Then I'm at a huge loss. Ten pieces and eight taels, that's the cost price!"

"Fear Talisman Paper is a good thing. Whether it's blocking or escaping, using one can have unexpected effects!"

"It is a must-have item for home, travel, murder and arson!"

He Changwei's friend rolled his eyes at such an exaggerated statement.

Lu Li looked thoughtful, as if he was carefully weighing the offer.

After a moment, he nodded and said:

"Okay, eight ounces is eight ounces, but you have to give me one of these as well."

After that, Lu Li pointed to a fist-sized piece of amber in the corner of the stall:

"I think it looks good, and I want to take it back as a gift for my wife."

"This..." The stall owner shifted his gaze away from the amber and looked at the introduction displayed on the data panel.

【Name：Large piece of amber】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function description: There may be some random stuff wrapped inside, which can be used as decoration depending on whether the shape is unique or not]

[Note: If there is a mosquito wrapped inside, please be sure to destroy it! ]

Useless garbage.

The stall owner recalled carefully again, wondering if there was anything special about obtaining this piece of amber.

After confirming that it was really garbage, he readily agreed.

"Just consider it as making friends with you, deal!"

Lu Li threw out 8 golden beans and put ten talisman papers and an amber into the space ring.

Then he greeted the two Chen family guards with satisfaction and walked towards the next stall.

After the young man and the Chen family guards walked away, the stall owner who sold the talisman paper immediately packed up and left.

He was afraid that the young man would realize he had suffered a loss and come back to him to return the goods.

Lu Li could probably guess what the reaction of the stall owner selling the talisman paper would be.

He also knew that ten pieces of fear talisman paper were not worth eight taels of pure gold.

This thing has no lethality and is simply used to scare people. One or two ounces of fine gold are enough to buy twenty of them!

The reason for buying at a loss is,

One is to pave the way for the main purpose later.

The second reason is for the fist-sized amber!

That is not a worthless decoration.

The things wrapped inside are definitely worth a lot of money!
