Chapter 20 - Bird and Flower Market


Although it is called the Bird and Flower Market, it doesn’t only sell flowers and birds but they also sell quite a few small beasts and some special types of poultry.


No matter the world, some rich people, when bored, like to try new things, including wild delicacies. However, the wilderness of this world is extremely dangerous. Apart from the military-controlled official roads, the rest of the land is filled with deadly plants and vicious wild beasts.


Thus, driven by money, a new, unregulated profession has emerged — the Treasure Hunter.


While the name sounds appealing, it’s a highly dangerous profession with a very high mortality rate. Many treasure hunters, after finding rare plants and beasts, suddenly become wealthy overnight! However, people only see their newfound riches, unaware of how many treasure hunters venture deep into the wilderness, only to be forever swallowed by the beasts.


This Bird and Flower Market is where some treasure hunters come to sell their rare plants and beasts. It also provides slaughtering services, thus earning it the nickname "Second Slaughterhouse."


However, Lu Yu’s purpose for coming here wasn’t to join the bored rich people seeking novelty. His goal wasn’t to collect rare beasts or plants.


He needed to test his skill Shadow Servant on some ordinary animals!


<Shadow Servant


After absorbing enough shadow, the Void Shadow Spider can spawn a Shadow Servant (spider form). A maximum of ten can be created, able to blend into shadows. They are natural assassins and the most loyal servants.>


This was the original description of the skill. However, after he extracted and solidified the skill into himself, the skill underwent some changes.


<Shadow Servant


After absorbing enough shadow, You can spawn a Shadow Servant (spider form or humanoid form). A maximum of ten can be created…>


The form options changed from purely spider form to both spider and humanoid forms, meaning the skill changes based on the user.


This was a pleasant surprise for Lu Yu, as if the Shadow Servants were in spider form, they might easily be considered evil, possibly associating him with the twisted Spider Cult. On the other hand, humanoid forms would be more accepted within human society and could help him maintain his disguise.


However, humanoid Shadow Servants gave Lu Yu a sense of déjà vu, reminding him of the "Shadowkhans" from Jackie Chan Adventures. While in his previous life, he had wished for a group of such "assistants" to help with various tasks, like massaging or cooking, unfortunately, reality had proved much harsher.


"Mine should be smarter," he thought.


With that, Lu Yu didn’t linger outside but entered the famous "Second Slaughterhouse" or, well, the Bird and Flower Market.


The layout inside was similar to the bird and flower markets of his previous life. There was a central walkway, with numerous shops on either side.


The market in the North District was vast, with three to four security guards stationed every 100 meters to maintain order. The air was thick with the scent of blood, bird droppings, and animal waste.


However, the shoppers seemed accustomed to the smell, and no one complained. After all, animals don’t exactly use bathrooms like humans do!


Even if an intelligent animal existed, its strength would be beyond what an ordinary bird and flower market could contain.


Lu Yu scanned the area, passing several flower shops, until he reached a store selling rabbits.


A large number of cages were stacked together, with each cage housing several rabbits. Most of them were gray, though a few were white. Despite the large number of rabbits, the store was clean, and there was no overwhelming stench.


The owner, a young man wearing glasses, had an average appearance. Upon seeing Lu Yu, he merely gave a slight nod, not showing much enthusiasm. After all, the market was always crowded with people, and most were just browsing. If he greeted everyone warmly, he’d be exhausted.


As long as the real customers weren’t hostile, they’d pay once they found what they liked.


Seeing that the shopkeeper had lowered his head to play with his phone, Lu Yu felt relieved. This made it easier for him to experiment with his skill.


He stepped a little further inside, using his body to block a few cages, then began scanning for his target. His gaze quickly locked onto a large gray rabbit.


This rabbit was bigger than the others, towering a full head above the rest. Its size allowed it to dominate a small area, with the other rabbits keeping their distance.


Due to its large size, its shadow was cast on the ground, piled together in a dense mass under the light.


"Rabbit Boss, you’re the one!" Lu Yu grinned.


But the large gray rabbit seemed to sense some kind of danger. Its body trembled, and its blood-red eyes darted around in alarm.


However, it was already too late.


"Shadow Servant!"


Lu Yu raised his hand and lightly pointed at the rabbit.


Energy started to drain from his body as a strange power that only he could see coalesced at his fingertip.


It transformed into a stream of energy that flowed to the rabbit’s shadow, gradually taking the shape of a pair of scissors. The shadow scissors snipped lightly.


Snip!
