Derpy pulled Ye Ji to find the previous sand table, and then snuggled in his arms and pointed to him, "Do you think this looks like a miniature version of the entire star network distribution map?"

Indeed, Ye Ji nodded. Whether it is the distribution of functional areas or some important signs, it is obviously a simulation of the entire star network. "What's the strange thing you're talking about?"

"Here. Derpy put the sand table on his lap, without the obstruction of his fingers, Ye Ji quickly noticed something unusual.

"You think this little piece of black is weird?"

Derpy nodded cautiously, "Everything else is Sands, only this one is different, and," after a pause, he said, "It's slow, but it's expanding." I think it's best to visit this place. ”

Ye Ji squinted at the sand table for a long time, and didn't notice anything unusual, but he still nodded, "Okay." Saying that, he was about to put this thing away, but Derpy just wanted to stop it, but saw that Ye Ji's action was completed very naturally, and there was no obstacle at all, so he couldn't help but be curious: "Didn't the system say that it was contraband? ”

"It's not a commodity. Ye Ji touched her head and smiled, "This thing is estimated to only exist in the star network and has no entity, but it is just a cloud of data, so I don't let you take it offline." "And they were able to get out of this grotto, probably because Derpy was the mastermind. After all, Ye Ji and Derpy have always been in a team state, and the two of them are one, so they have not been blocked by the system.

The place where the little black block was located was in the empty space between the beginner area and the game area, and although it could be seen clearly in the sandbox, it was difficult to get there, after all, there was no road leading to this empty space in either area. This kind of blank space is deliberately done by the system, so that several large areas are separated from each other and do not disturb each other, so as to avoid accidents in one place and others, but if you use a teleportation array, you can still easily go to other places.

Ye Ji discussed it with Derpy and decided to start checking it out from the junior area he had been to before. After all, the mastermind has also been out of news since the last time he dealt with Nancy and Sydney.

In the large map of the Star Network, the primary area is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one of which is adjacent to the game area, and it is coincidentally the side where they "started" the last mastermind, and both of them have a trace of doubt in their hearts. Could it be that it was because of the mastermind's last behavior that caused the abnormality here?

The last time they came here, the two didn't pay much attention to the situation in the junior area. The task here couldn't be simpler for Ye Ji, thinking that he had passed the test of the primary area in less than half a day, and he was really not interested in the low-IQ task here, so he didn't bother to look at the surrounding movements. And Derpy is because she has never done the task of the primary area at all, she was abducted by the mastermind the first time she went to the star network, and then she got such a high level, where do you need to start all over again, plus the people around her are high-level people, and they will not know how normal people crawl out of the primary area step by step.

And this time, because they were worried about the situation of the mastermind, the two of them were interested in the people and things in the primary area, since they couldn't go directly to the black block for a while, it was better to investigate in this marginal area, maybe they would find some special clues.

However, this village is not big, and it is not small to say that it is small, and it is difficult to find the problem if you don't go deep into the interior, Ye Ji thought about it and decided to do the task again from the beginning, it just so happens that Derpy has never done it before, although the level has already been exceeded, but she can still continue this task.

Thinking back to the order in which he first appeared on the Star Network decades ago, Ye Ji took Derpy to the village chief's house to accept the initial mission. The village chief is a respectable old man with fairy wind bones, who is stable and generous in his daily work, and is quite loved by other aborigines in the village, and even the interstellar people who have just entered the star network are very fond of this old man.

However, this old man's face is not very good now.

"It's you?!" The village chief saw Ye Ji walk into his house with an indifferent face, and sat on the chair fluttering before he could speak, not caring about his accusations. "What are you doing here! We are in the middle of nowhere, and we can't afford to be a noble person like you!"

The village chief flicked his sleeves angrily, put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the hall very angrily. "Didn't you hear me? You're not welcome here!"

If Derpy could only feel the village chief's surprise at their arrival at first, this sentence already made her feel that the village chief disliked them very much. But why? She was seeing him for the first time...... Looking at the village chief again, Derpy followed his line of sight and felt a little congested.

Thinking of Ye Ji's stinky temper, she estimated that this thing must have provoked this old man when he was young and ignorant. Look at the old man, his face is much more rosy.

Ye Ji didn't care about Derpy's playful eyes, he just raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm here to take over the task." ”

"What kind of task! There is no task here that you can take!" If it weren't for the fact that his status as a native of the system limited him, he couldn't talk seriously, and he couldn't do reckless things, the village chief would definitely beat this stinky boy out with a feather duster in the corner of the room by now.

"It's not me who picks up. Ye Ji didn't seem to feel the village chief's unpopularity, but rarely endured his temperament and talked to him, "She answered." ”

"Who?" The village chief glared viciously at the Derpy who was being hugged by Ye Ji and turned around, facing his own Derpy, his expression suddenly became strange.

This, why is there such a small baby???

The village chief is very fond of soft and glutinous little cubs, but his grandson is a mischievous trickster, and she thanks the Lord God for his blessing if he doesn't cause trouble every day, and God knows how much he wants to have a cute and well-behaved little doll.

Look at the big watery eyes, the pink little mouth, the delicate little nose, and the cutest baby fat. Although her face was expressionless, she was deeply attracted by the aura she exuded when she looked closely. Ah, it's like hugging and kissing~

The old village chief rippled, but Ye Ji's face turned black.

I didn't expect this old pervert to have the appearance of a worldly master with a pure heart and few desires, but in fact he actually has a cub fetish?!

The village chief was immediately unhappy when he saw that the little cutie in his heart was detained into someone else's arms after only one face. With a roll of his eyes, he didn't care that Ye Ji was coming again, rubbing his old hand and asking with a smile: "Xiao Li, what are you doing this time to find the village chief's grandfather?"

You are Xiao Li, your whole family is Xiao Li! Ye Ji rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "Say, send her a task, hurry up!"

"It's easy to talk about the task. "If you want to do the most thing in my life, isn't it a mission. The folds of the old village chief's cheeks were squeezed together, and he stretched out his hand to hold one of Derpy's soft little paws, and his heart was rippling again, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Ye Ji. He cleared his throat and was about to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he glared at Derpy in disbelief.

"You're kidding me!" The village chief let go of Derpy's claws, snorted angrily and began to scold Ye Ji again, "Her level, this identity, you let her take my mission? You are trying to kill Lao Tzu!"

What's the situation?

Derpy had a question mark on his head, tilted his head to look at the village chief, and before he knew it, he was bleeding again.

No, no, the village chief actually came to his senses in an instant, shook his head secretly, and made a very pious expression, knelt on the ground, folded his hands and faced Derpy, and muttered a string of ancient melodious words that neither of them understood, and finally added a sentence "God bless." ”

Ye Ji and Derpy glanced at each other, not understanding what tricks this old man was doing with his very fast face. Ye Ji couldn't get used to seeing him like this, so he stretched out his feet and wanted to kick him aside, but he was quickly dodged by the village chief.

"Little bunny, when will your temper change!"

The village chief changed from his pious appearance just now, and turned into a defensive face again.

"Don't be sluggish, send her a task quickly. ”

"Hmph, I won't send it. The old village chief turned his head arrogantly, but the little eyes kept glancing at Derpy. endured and endured before he spoke.

"Ahem. This little girl has the breath of the main god on her body, and she is a distinguished guest, and the small people will never dare to be rude to the nobles. ”

It turned out to be caused by the relationship with the mastermind's main pet. Ye Ji finally understood why the village chief's attitude had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, but it might save some effort.

Ye Ji whispered to Derpy, and Derpy nodded understandingly. I didn't expect this relationship to be really useful. Thinking of what Ye Ji had just said to himself, Derpy quickly sorted out his thoughts in his head, first bent the corners of his mouth towards the village chief, and saw that the other party really had a forbearant face, and his smile was even bigger.

This little doll has the appearance of a little angel, but how can he think that this little goblin is inside? The village chief is worried about Derpy's identity while fighting against his own desires.

"Grandpa the village chief. Derpy exclaimed, "My brother and I came to your village out of the blue, and we were very disturbing, and we were offended. ”

Ah, this soft and glutinous little voice is really the same as I expected. The village chief was intoxicated in his heart, and he shook his head busily, "Don't bother, don't bother." If you are a valued guest, you can come whenever you want. I'm just afraid that our village is too simple and you will be wronged. ”

Tsk, this old man, when he talks to him, he drags like twenty-five or eighty-thousand, and he doesn't change his face so quickly. Ye Ji snorted coldly and strongly expressed his dissatisfaction, but neither of the two who had a good conversation paid attention to him.

“...... Grandpa the village chief, is there anything strange in Cuizhu Village recently? Derpy blinked her watery eyes, a hint of curiosity. The long and curly eyelashes flickered, and the village chief's heart was itchy.

The little cub likes to listen to some strange things, and the old village chief is experienced, like his little grandson, so he can only be quiet for a while when he tells him stories. It's just that the little grandson never likes to listen to these things in the village, and he thinks that the things that happen around him are very boring, but the story comes from life, and the old village chief will shake his head and sigh every time.

"If you want to talk about this strange thing, I want to think about it..."The old village chief moved a chair and sat in front of Ye Ji's left, just talking to Derpy face to face. "Ah, it reminds me of one thing, but it's scary, do you really want to hear it?"

Derpy still smiled and nodded, "Grandpa the village chief, tell me, my brother is not afraid of me." ”

I really don't know what kind of family can raise such a pair of brothers and sisters. The old village chief glanced at Ye Ji strangely, secretly made a big cross, and then looked at Derpy with a smile, and drew a circle with satisfaction. These two people are simply worlds apart, the difference between cloud and mud!

"If you want to talk about this strange thing, it happened in a family in the village. The village chief began to say slowly, "There is a girl in this village, who has no father or mother since she was a child, and was abandoned at the entrance of our village as soon as she was born. It was a young boy from our village who came back from outside and happened to meet her, so he rescued her. ”

This young boy was only about ten years old at the time, his parents died early, and he began to inherit the family business at a young age and live alone. Ever since I picked up the little girl, I have been dependent on her, and I would rather be hungry than never miss a meal. Although the big guys are not very rich, they can help openly and secretly, and the two of them have grown up safely. ”

When the village chief said this, he was relieved, but suddenly he became gloomy again.

"The young man had been a blacksmith for generations, and he was the only one in our village who knew how to make utensils. It's not easy to forge weapons, it takes too much effort, but fortunately, he has been tough since he was a child, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and the blacksmith shop didn't insult their ancestors and ancestors when it came to him, but it's a pity..."

"It's a pity that he's just too strong and honest. In order to avoid suspicion, he separated from the little girl after he became an adult, although it was next door, but he couldn't go out twice a month, so the little girl was always alone. ”

Derpy was confused, "That little girl likes him?"

"It's not good!" the village chief slapped his thigh suddenly, looking like he hated iron and steel, "That young man is about the same age as my son, and he is called Uncle Tie in terms of seniority, and he doesn't plan to start a family." He doesn't want to forget it, Green Girl is such a good girl, she is now in her twenties, and she has always been by his side, and he has made it clear that he will not marry, but he has no reaction at all, who can stand it!"

The village chief gasped, as if Uncle Buxiao Tie was his son.

"And what is the strange thing you mean?"

The village chief was indignant for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, the green girl knows that righteousness is not informal, and although she is concerned about him, she has not reached the point where she wants nothing but love. She remembers that the people in the village were kind to her when she was a child, and they always helped everyone sew and sew clothes and spin threads. But for a few days, I don't know where she learned the new technology, so she had to use fallen leaves and withered weeds to make dye. It is also said that the color of each leaf is unique. ”
