Chapter 42: The Journey

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth slanted slightly, smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What's the matter, why are you interested in Chu Lingzhu, if you want pills or weapons, I'll buy them for you." ”

"The things in the branch, if you buy them with yuanshi, they are much more expensive than outside, we all use merit to exchange things, and the superiors have formulated it in order to promote the efficiency of doing tasks, and the purchase price of yuanshi is more expensive. ”

"That, how to get merit..."Blazing Sun scratched his head, although this question was very awkward, and he would naturally know it when he arrived at the branch, but he still wanted to understand the various ways to obtain merit.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen obviously didn't care, and patiently replied: "It's okay to do the designated arrangement task or take on the task of hunting demon beasts, and to exchange useless cultivation resources for successful results." ”

"I see, thank you Brother Chen for your doubts. The scorching day was bright and bright, and he had a general understanding of how to obtain merit, so he hurriedly hugged his fist and thanked Xiao Chen, people really cared about him too much. In other words, Qiu He would definitely call him a fool, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

"Say thank you or something, you don't have to, you are a newcomer with a belt, it is the responsibility of us veterans. "Generally, Xiao Chen has fewer words, Xiao Gui is more thoughtful and old-fashioned in the team, Xiao Shen is extremely introverted, and he doesn't dare to talk to Tang Yu, the boss.

He felt a little lonely in the team, and now he felt very speculative when he saw the scorching day, which was much younger and more powerful than him, so he showed great enthusiasm and cared for him.

"It's not too early, it's not good to keep them waiting, let's go. "Seeing that the sun is about to set, I feel that it is time to return to the team.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to come out, we'll have more fun, and it's not a big deal to come back later. Xiao Chen didn't shout, in normal times, he didn't dare to be so playful, but now it's different, he went out with a newcomer.

"It's not good, I'll be scolded. "I'm worried that I'll be criticized if I go back late, although Xiao Chenman doesn't care.

"No, no, Brother Yu won't scold. Xiao Chen packed the ticket and said.

Seeing that Xiao Chen couldn't help it, he felt that there shouldn't be any big problem, so he just walked around for a while.

So they went to other places.

An hour later.

At this time, Tang Yu and the others were at the exit of the small assembly, waiting for Zhi Tian and Xiao Chen.

"Brother Yu still have to wait, where are they going, it's dark and they haven't come back. Xiaogui waited a little impatiently. It's understandable to say that you are greedy for fun, but you don't know the rules when you just join the team.

This little Chen Ping saw that he was doing very well, but he was so ignorant.

"The task of handing over, except for those who can never go back, must be all the team members, just wait. Tang Yu was also a little angry. This Xiao Chen veteran team member does not look like an old player, knowing that going back will be delayed for a few days than expected, and he is still not the first to take the overall situation first.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious when I thought of the other teams that had picked up their unfinished tasks and were still waiting in the branch for a long time.

"There will inevitably be an argument. Tang Yu sighed. He hoped that he would not meet those teams who had a holiday, so as not to quarrel and make it unpleasant for anyone.

This time they didn't have to wait long, and Xiao Chen hurriedly returned to the team.

"Where are you both running crazy, and you're only coming back now, don't you know we're in a hurry. Xiao Gui asked Xiao Chen. After all, it is difficult to say that Burning Sun is a newcomer and very powerful, and Burning Day was also brought out by Xiao Chen, so he simply skipped Burning Day and asked Xiao Chen about him.

Tang Yu didn't speak, but his face was ugly, staring at them.

"That, I introduced something to Ah Yan, and I didn't notice the time for a while, I'm really embarrassed. Xiao Chen didn't expect Xiao Gui to question, so he changed the topic and said: "You see, it's getting late now, and it's really not convenient to go on the road again, so it's better to find a place to rest for the night, and after dawn, how about hurrying in time." ”

"There's not much to stay here. Xiao Gui looked around and said, "Have you forgotten?" We have less than 300 yuan in funds, how can we have extra spare money for accommodation, do you want to have one less dish for a few meals in the future?"

"Then where to sleep tonight, you can't sleep in the wilderness, in case you encounter a monster attack or a robber. "Xiao Chen really doesn't want to sleep outside tonight, and he has also heard that there are often robbers and robbers in this vicinity.

It would have been okay for another moment, but now he really didn't want to sleep in the wild... In their current condition, it would be very inappropriate if something was stolen or a fight broke out.

The main reason was that he had a meal with Burning Day, and when he saw that Burning Sun refused to ask for his things, he simply invited Burning Sun to a meal, anyway, they were not full when they were in the inn, and they were hungry after running for so long.

Now that their stomachs are bulging, Xiao Chen just wants to find a bed to sleep beautifully, so he doesn't want to rush to the night or sleep in the wilderness.

Xiao Gui took out a map and looked at it, and said, "If you walk a few miles, you will come to a mid-end block, there may be an inn there, let's go!"

"It's going to take so long! Xiao Chen secretly touched his bulging belly, and was very reluctant to travel a long way.

"Xiao Chen, you are so strange today, why did you suddenly become so lazy. A hint of suspicion flashed in Xiao Gui's eyes, and everyone looked at them at this time.

Being asked by Xiao Gui like this, feeling everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, if he knew that he went out with the burning day, he came back so late after eating, drinking and having fun, and he hadn't brought some food to everyone, and the relationship between them would definitely be a little estranged by then.

It can be mistaken for inviting a new person without inviting them to dinner.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring some food back, after all, he doesn't have many yuan stones on hand, and besides, he hasn't seen anyone send anything down to eat, so why should he bring it.

"Do I have it? I just think it's too dark and windy to hurry. ”

"Since everyone has chosen to hurry, I don't have any opinion, so let's go. Xiao Chen cut off the topic and walked forward slowly.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was leaving and not talking, Xiao Gui felt that Xiao Chen must have something to hide, but he didn't want to ask again, and everyone lit torches and followed.

It didn't take long for Xiao Chen to quietly run to the side of the scorching day and said, "Ah day, let's go to the last row, so as not to be discovered by them." ”

"Oh... Okay..."Zhi Tian touched his head, and asked suspiciously, "That Brother Chen, why did we go to the last row?"

"Because... Can't let them know that I invited you to dinner alone. Xiao Chen said.

"Why is that? Could it be that there is a rule in the team that you can't eat alone?"

"Then there is no such rule, how can I say it..."

"You better say it bluntly, I don't know much about going around too many circles. "It's still very unfamiliar with these aspects, after all, this is the first time he has joined the team.

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "I'd better be more direct, don't tell others." ”

"Hmm. Blazing Sun nodded, indicating that he would not talk nonsense.

"If I buy you weapons and other things, it's fine, and if I let them know that I'm going to invite you to dinner alone, they'll be unhappy with me, and it's not good if I have any trouble with them. ”

"Why is this happening, aren't you all teammates in the same team, not united and loving, why do you have such a clear division. ”

"I also think, except for Brother Yu, I don't have a particularly good relationship with those two, especially that Xiao Shen is alone, he doesn't say a word for a long time, and it's difficult to get along. ”

"What about Xiaogui?" Burning Sun thought of Xiaogui, feeling that he should get along very well.

Hearing that Zhi Sun asked about Xiao Gui, Xiao Chen couldn't help but snort coldly, and said: "Among our team, he is the deepest in his city, don't look at his unassuming and polite appearance, he is very shrewd." ”

"Is it that exaggerated, I think he feels like he's pretty easy to get along with. ”

"Do you understand people's hearts? It's like I think you're a big brother, like a ruffian. I've been counted on by this little expensive. Xiao Chen pursed his lips.

"Actually, Brother He is still quite good, although he has a bad temper..."Zhi Tian fell into deep thought, he didn't know much about human nature.

After all, listening to what others say is far less than experiencing it yourself.

Xiao Chen saw that he was deep in thought about this matter, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Since you don't understand it very well now, don't think about it anymore, anyway, thinking too much will only increase your troubles, and you will slowly understand these things in the future." ”

Zhi Tian nodded, and also smiled, he already regarded Xiao Chen as a very good friend from the bottom of his heart.

An hour later, Xiao Chen and the others held their stomachs and walked crookedly, which was very incongruous.

The two of them had just eaten enough, and they had walked a long way, and it was strange that their stomachs did not hurt, but fortunately, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the others did not notice their abnormality, otherwise they would not know what to say.

"Ouch, that... Brother Chen, my stomach hurts, it's not a way for us to go on like this, why don't we take a break. "The scorching pain was so unbearable that I didn't want to go any further.

"It's okay, I can't walk anymore, these guys are walking so fast, do you want people to live, really. Xiao Chen couldn't help but complain.

"Brother Chen, it's not that they walk fast, it's that we walk too slowly, after all, they are all martial artists, and it's normal that they can't keep up with the pace. ”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, and said, "It's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later it will be discovered." ”

"Why don't we tell them calmly, it's a big deal to treat them later. "I wanted to confess with a painful stomach.

"There's no need, our living funds are all in the hands of Brother Yu, eating and drinking are all all the way, everyone takes care of themselves, anyway, they all eat together, no matter who treats them, it's the same. ”

"With this spare money, it is better to keep it for yourself and buy more reserves. Xiao Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling that it was completely unnecessary to have a treat or something, because the relationship was not particularly good.

After all, this is a small team, and they are performing some painless low-level tasks, and sometimes there is too much harmony in a team, and there will be a lot of problems.

It is impossible for a team to unite without a brutal baptism of conquest. It will be much better in the middle and high-level teams, and the prejudice between the team members will not be so great.
