I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 326: Chapter 225: Home Field Advantage

”Mom, what are sinister gold coins?”

In the car, Han Zhan asked seemingly casually.

In his eyes, a few lines of small text appeared above Shan Yunmei’s head.

”Shan Yunmei, Mother.”

”Concerned, Loving.”

”Social relationship: Close, Family”

”Kill value: 100 sinister gold coins.”

Is this a cruel joke of the Slaughter Battlefield? Or is it just the rules?

Han Zhan pretended to nonchalantly look away.

He was now a completely ordinary person, but when he asked this question, he was already tense all over.

”Sinister gold coins?”

Shan Yunmei paused as if thinking, but soon, a smile reappeared on her face.

”You child, what are you talking about? Money is just money. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it’s also called sinister gold coins.”

Sinister gold coins, just money?

That’s pretty apt.

Han Zhan suddenly thought of a very crucial question and instinctively asked:

”So ten 648s are 6,480 yuan, which equals 6,480 sinister gold coins?”

”That’s right?” Shan Yunmei answered matter-of-factly.

Her expression suddenly became serious, ”I almost forgot, there’s another thing I haven’t told you.”

”What thing?”

Seeing Shan Yunmei’s demeanor, Han Zhan instinctively sat up straight.

”You know, right? Every minute that passes is sixty seconds gone!”

Han Zhan: ”???”

Seeing her son’s confused face, Shan Yunmei burst into laughter.

”Just kidding, right? Sinister gold coins are money, a minute is sixty seconds, doesn’t my understanding make sense?”

From Shan Yunmei’s perspective, these indeed fell into the category of corny jokes.

Han Zhan could only smile awkwardly: ”Mom, you’re as humorous as always.”

”Of course, son takes after mom. Who else’s humor genes do you think you’ve inherited?”

Back to business.

Through chatting with Shan Yunmei, Han Zhan confirmed one thing.

He actually possesses the ”home-field advantage” in this world!

Previously, the rules of the Slaughter Battlefield had stated.

Every night, one must be prepared with a hundred sinister gold coins to carry around, or face unknown consequences.

The initial intent of this rule was a test for every entrant to the Slaughter Battlefield.

For an ordinary person to enter an entirely unfamiliar world and amass a hundred sinister gold coins in a short time isn’t necessarily easy.

But this test seems altogether different when it comes to Han Zhan.

After all, who doesn’t have a thousand or eight hundred yuan at home?

”Mom, no need to recharge those ten 648s right now, can you exchange them for cash instead?”

”Six thousand plus gold coins? Are you out of your mind?”

”I really need it urgently!”

”Found a new girlfriend? Does she want you to use over six thousand sinister gold coins to form them into a rose shape?”

”Mom!”

”Alright then, there happens to be a bank nearby, I’ll see if I can exchange them.”

...

”This is insulting my character, insulting my knightly spirit! No, I absolutely can’t do this!”

”Calm down! Calm down, Yu Lian!”

”You tell me to calm down, how can I calm down! He... he wants me to kiss you mouth to mouth!”

”...”

At a filming set, Yu Lian looked agitated while Zhan Ning stood on the side desperately trying to calm her.

A little further away was a makeshift studio where the director’s team, the production team, and the camera crew were all located.

”Why not just give up, since we can’t possibly be the winners anyway, why do something so disgusting!”

Yu Lian was still refusing to give in.

What a joke; he had just entered this world and saw himself wearing some strange costume, tightly embraced by Zhan Ning.

In his ear was a microphone that constantly relayed the director’s voice.

”Yes, yes, that’s the unwilling expression, exactly right, now kiss, what are you waiting for, male lead, hurry and kiss!”

”This... this doesn’t seem right.” Zhan Ning hesitated, feeling uncomfortable.

The director’s voice came through Zhan Ning’s microphone as well, ”Doesn’t seem right? Why didn’t you say anything when you were signing the contract?”

”I’m telling you, the whole crew is waiting for you to finish shooting, hurry and kiss already!”

Indeed.

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian had traveled to a film set where they played the roles of the male lead and supporting male lead in the crew.

The script they received portrayed them as a couple.

Faced with such a script, the two, whose sexual orientations were straight, could only say: ”Unbelievable.”

So Yu Lian immediately rejected the demand, leading to the scene that followed.

”Before entering, didn’t you hear the conversations among the major figures? This time’s Slaughter Battlefield is different from before!”

”I’m worried if we don’t earn enough sinister gold coins, we’ll be erased by the rules!”

Death, and giving up, are entirely different things.

Upon hearing Zhan Ning’s persuasion and reminder, Yu Lian’s previously determined expression showed a trace of hesitation.

Zhan Ning pressed his advantage: ”Once! Just this once! Once we earn enough sinister gold coins today to get through tonight, tomorrow we can think of other ways or find different work.”

”What if we just kill them instead?”

Yu Lian glanced towards the studio where everyone had a rotating gold coin above their head.

Some were few, some were many, a single coin or a dozen.

”No.” Zhan Ning shook his head in refusal, ”We are now ordinary people with no Cultivation Realm. Because of overly relying on the Knight’s Code, the lack of Aura makes us not even considered strong among ordinary people.”

”There are martial arts coaches in this crew, stunt doubles, and many tough general workers. They are all stronger than us.”

Zhan Ning’s concerns were reasonable and well-founded.

If they really lashed out, they might not earn even a hundred sinister gold coins and would already be beaten senseless by someone’s fist.

”Just a peck, really not that hard!” Zhan Ning continued to persuade.

His manner was as if he were telling a virtuous woman that opening her legs was nothing difficult.

This damn sense of substitution.

Yu Lian suppressed the urge to punch Zhan Ning.

”Besides, this is the Slaughter Battlefield, not the real Blue Star. Other than these people in the crew, who else knows us?”

”Even if we bend the knee for a few sinister gold coins, once we leave alive, it’ll only be heaven, earth, you, and me who know, what’s there to hesitate about?”

”Are you sure just once?”

”Absolutely sure!”

Seeing Yu Lian relent, Zhan Ning sighed in relief too and turned to the back of the studio, giving an okay hand gesture.

”Director, the second male lead is comforted, psychological construction done, we’re ready to shoot now!”
