Chapter 021: Fu Kuo
The price is too high, but the rewards are just as generous.
This is a double-edged sword, and this sword has been hanging over his head since the moment Jiang Ning began to contact the game of the world. In fact, from the very beginning, all this could not have been avoided.
The conversation with Tang Buqing took longer than Jiang Ning expected, and by the time he rushed back to Mingyue Internet Cafe, it was already close to dinner time.
"Sister Rou, I'm sorry to come back late, I'll ask everyone to open a small stove in the evening......" Jiang Ning said with a smile before he entered the door.
"Okay, there's a new grilled fish shop along West Street, and I've wanted to try it for a long time. Fu Wenrou got up from the chair and stretched, and poked the forest crown beside him. "Let's go to the class and get a chair. ”
Jiang Ning found that there was a person sitting in his place. A young man wearing a sportswear with a haircut and a huge backpack in his arms.
"Let me introduce, this is my younger brother Fu Kuo. Fu said with a gentle smile.
"National champion?" Jiang Ning's eyebrows furrowed.
Fu Kuo put the backpack in his arms on the ground, and when he got up from the chair, Jiang Ning found that his height was one meter nine, a head taller than himself, as if a wall suddenly stood in front of him.
He stretched out a big thick hand: "Hello, I'm Fu Kuo." ”
"Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning reached out and shook his hand. "I've been in Liushi for a while, and I've heard your sister keep mentioning you, and I've finally met me. ”
"I've heard my sister mention you, too. Fu Kuo glanced at Jiang Ning, to be honest, it was not very comfortable to be looked at like this by a person who was taller than him but younger than himself.
"Mention me?" Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment.
"Well," she said...... You've pretended to be her boyfriend. Fu Kuo glanced at him.
Jiang Ning gave a gentle look, this thing really said anything.
"Don't get me wrong, I just happened to meet that day, and your sister and I are innocent......"
"Understand, understand. Fu Kuo looked like he understood and smiled. "I don't think you're going to be my brother-in-law. ”
"Okay, don't talk about all this, I'm dying of hunger...... Let's call it food. Fu Wenrou stood in front of the landline and handed the phone to Jiang Ning, since he said that he wanted to have a treat, it was naturally him who came.
Jiang Ning ordered the grilled fish that Fu Wenrou said he had been thinking about for a long time, and one fish for four people might not be enough, so he ordered a bunch of side dishes.
After the fragrant takeaway was delivered, the four of them moved a few chairs, set up a simple small dining table at the front desk, and the hot grilled fish was served.
The atmosphere at the dinner table is very delicate, originally everyone eats their own food, although Jiang Ning sometimes sits with Fu Wenrou to eat but rarely chats, it is rare to get together and have a good meal, and the atmosphere is also a little awkward.
can't let the field stay cold, Jiang Ning had to start this conversation first.
"This grilled fish is pretty good. ”
"Poof. Fu Wen laughed, Jiang Ning glanced at her, and the former hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, I'm looking at my phone. ”
"Can't you put your phone down when you're eating?" Fu Kuo said.
"You still taught your sister a lesson?" Fu Wenwen glanced at him and put the phone back in his pocket. "If you're so idle, you'll come to work tomorrow. ”
"No, it's not long before school starts, and I haven't had enough fun. ”
"I heard from your sister, you are the national champion, right?" Jiang Ning asked Fu Kuo. "It should be no problem for the national champion to be sent to a first-class sports university, why did you come to Liushi?"
"Liushi's grandeur is also good, the School of Physical Education is also ranked among the same types of departments according to the national system, and my sister said to let me be closer to her. Fu Kuo said. "And to be honest, the national champion doesn't necessarily mix well everywhere, it's good to be safe and secure in a small place. ”
Jiang Ning always felt that Fu Kuo should be an ambitious person as a national champion, but he didn't expect that the reason for staying in Liushi was just to be stable...... It's also human nature, and how many people can't ask for an ordinary life.
"If I hadn't given up, I would have just graduated from Shanda by now. Jiang Ning sighed.
"By the way, if you're going to the grand event, can you help me inquire about someone. ”
"Who is it?" Fu Kuo asked.
"I'll tell you when you start school, a friend of mine, I haven't been in touch for many years, and I haven't seen her when I come back this time, she may be in Shanda. Jiang Ning said.
****
In the following days, Jiang Ning lived very calmly, on the one hand, he continued to work in the Mingyue Internet Café, and on the other hand, he continued to carry out the task of human games.
Time actually flies quickly, watching the experience bar accumulate little by little, a month has passed, and even half of it has not been saved.
It is more difficult to advance to an advanced player than Jiang Ning imagined, and there are not many tasks he has received in this month, but most of them are B-level, A-level ones are rare, and even if you do all the tasks without missing anything, the experience gained is pitiful.
In the process of receiving tasks and completing them in these days, Jiang Ning gradually learned some of the mechanics of human games that were not put on the surface, in short, the tasks below the A level are a bit similar to Truth or Dare, which can be a small thing like throwing a cigarette butt or throwing a bottle, but the tasks above A level are similar to real tasks, requiring him to complete some events.
The completion of these events may be the catalyst for an event or the triggering of an event. Take the last haunted house in Yan Paradise as an example, he was involved in a haunted house murder case, which triggered the later hidden mission.
Although A-level or above missions can be skipped or abandoned, it is clear that this game also understands human nature, and if the essence of the event is evil, few people will choose to carry it out, so most of the time Jiang Ning receives the task of contributing to the development of a vicious event, but he has never encountered a human life mission like a haunted house murder case.
Jiang Ning knew one thing that the tasks promulgated by the human game would only touch his bottom line more and more, hovering on the edge of morality and law, as if he was deliberately playing with people's hearts.
Just like its name, it really seems as if the world is just a game, and Jiang Ning is a dirty player.
Looking at the game interface, the phone suddenly vibrate, and then cut to the call interface, and it was an unfamiliar number that came in.
"Hello. Jiang Ning answered the phone.
"Xiao Ning, it's me. ”
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out a name. "Brother Yaobin?"
The caller's name is Chen Yaobin, one of the members of the First Criminal Police Brigade, Jiang Li's comrade-in-arms, and Jiang Li's hypocrisy is quite iron.
"I heard that. Chen Yaobin said with a smile on the other end of the phone. "I heard that you've been back to Liushi, how long have you been back?"
"It didn't take long. Jiang Ning said.
"Your brother's business ......," Chen Yaobin sighed. "When your brother had an accident, it was supposed to contact you first, but I didn't expect you to come back. So, do you have time now? Let's meet. ”
Fu Wenrou gave Jiang Ning a day off today, so he had a lot of time today.
"Yes. Jiang Ning said. "Give me an address, and I'll go find you. ”
"No, you still live in the old place, I'll look for you. Chen Yaobin said.
Jiang Li's popularity in the team is usually quite good, but since his accident, Chen Yaobin was the first to call Jiang Ning to express his condolences. However, Jiang Ning didn't feel that the other team members were ruthless, and it was normal for them to have no contact information for the past five years since they left Liushi.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning went out to buy some food, since Chen Yaobin was coming, he naturally had to entertain him well, and there was a knock on the door half an hour later.
Jiang Ning opened the door, and Chen Yaobin stood at the door.
Chen Yaobin is old, at least compared to the last time Jiang Ning saw him. In Jiang Ning's memory, he was still a handsome uncle, but at the moment, he was full of scum, his handsomeness was gone, and he really became an 'uncle'.
"Grown up. Chen Yaobin sighed at the first glance of Jiang Ning.
He handed over the dish in his hand: "Come on, come on, I'll cook at noon, you haven't tasted my craftsmanship for a long time, right...... It's so fast, it's been so many years in a blink of an eye. ”
When Jiang Ning was young, Chen Yaobin often came to his house to eat, but when it was said to be rubbing rice, in fact, almost all of them were cooked by Chen Yaobin, and he and Jiang Li were waiting to eat.
Chen Yaobin also brought a few cans of beer, and after being busy in the kitchen for a while, the two sat down at the table after making a table of sumptuous dishes.
"Brother Yaobin, why did you suddenly think of coming to me. Jiang Ning opened a can of beer and handed it to him.
"No, I just haven't seen you for many years, I heard Lin Qiang from the Criminal Investigation Brigade say that you are back, and I asked him for your mobile phone number. Chen Yaobin said. "Actually, I'm quite worried about you, your brother's incident happened too suddenly, and no one expected it. I heard Lin Qiang say that you already know the situation, don't be too sad. ”
"I believe in my brother. Jiang Ning said. "He's not that kind of person. ”
"I also believe it, not only me, but many comrades-in-arms believe it. Chen Yaobin sighed. "It's all a brother with a gun, and we don't know what he looks like...... It is said that he is soft-hearted, and it is the first time he has heard of shooting and killing. ”
"But the current situation is honestly very unfavorable to your brother, the bureau has been tracking down the drug trafficking gang for a long time, and it happened that arrest, your brother killed the drug dealer, and disappeared...... The bureau always has to give an explanation to the above, so your brother has become the biggest suspect. ”
"I didn't participate in that arrest operation, so I heard them talk about the specific situation, and your brother didn't have anything unusual when he was on a mission, and he couldn't shoot anyone who did what we did unless he had to. Chen Yaobin took a sip of wine and said.
"My brother must have been wronged. Jiang Ning looked at his own reflection in the wine glass and frowned. "Brother Yaobin, you should not only come to me today to offer condolences. ”
Chen Yaobin glanced at him, turned around and took the backpack hanging on the chair, and pulled out a file bag from it.
He opened the bag, took out a document from it, put it on the table and turned to Jiang Ning.
It was a personal file, and the blue background photo showed a man about thirty years old, with messy hair and a beard, and deep sunken eyes, like a human skeleton.
