Chapter 026: The Secret of Time Flow

When Xie Zuo raised his head and was about to summon the system to return, he suddenly realized that the area that he noticed when he entered the space, which was brighter than the other stars, seemed to be a little larger. Not...... To be exact, it has almost doubled the area. Now the bright range accounts for almost one-fifth of the entire starry sky!

"What's going on?" Xie pointed his left finger to the starry sky above his head and asked.

"The mission area of the star map is divided into ten areas according to the corresponding period. From the beginning of the ancient Zhuxia to the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Each time you select a mission, you can only randomly choose from the generals in a certain area. Each time the map owner completes a task, the star map of the corresponding area will receive 10% completion. The bright area seen by the main figure is due to the completion of 10% of the mission area during the Qin and Han dynasties and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. ”

Completeness? Xie Zuo frowned, and raised his voice: "What is the benefit of reaching 100% completion?" ”

"When the completion reaches 100%, the owner of the picture will receive special rewards from the system, including but not limited to the full version of the Famous General's Attribute Pill, artifact-level equipment, limited-edition troop training secret methods, forbidden spell-level skills, etc."

Totally famous!

Artifact Equipment!

Limited Classes!

Forbidden Spell Skills!

Xie Zuo took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the stars in front of him. It was another carrot that could not be seen and eaten, Xie Zuo silently thought to himself in his heart.

Think about it calmly, the weapons and famous horses that can be seen in the exchange list all need to pay a high price, let alone artifacts? If you think about it on your heels, you can also know that the cost of obtaining high-end items is definitely much higher than that of ordinary items. Now you can't even redeem the ordinary items on the list, you and I have a refreshment? It's okay to be moderate, but if you really take it as a goal, Xie Zuo believes that sooner or later, he will be lame!

After seeing more systematic flickering, Xie Zuo believes that his immunity has made great progress. Thinking about it seriously, it seemed that there was no point in staying here any longer, so he waved his hand casually:

"Alright, send me back!"

The light flashed, the things in front of him changed, and Xie Zuo had already returned to his bedroom.

Compared to when I left, it didn't seem to have changed much, and even the sky didn't change much.

Wait a minute! Weather?

Xie Zuo rubbed his eyes and looked out the window again.

Indeed, the sun had just set on the mountaintops, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the earth golden, announcing that it was about to relinquish its sovereignty.

I'll go! Do you remember that when you enter space, the sun will almost touch the top of the mountain, and if you look at it this way, it will not be more than an hour at most?

That's impossible!

Even if the time spent in the Star Atlas space is negligible, the time spent in the seven-step poem task alone is more than three hours!

Do you have a memory disorder? Xie Zuo shook his head incredulously.

Pushing open the door and coming to the corner house where Xie Qingyi was, the big man curled up on his small bed in a daze as usual. Xie Zuo opened his mouth directly and asked:

"What time is it?"

Xie Qingyi looked at the young master, a little inexplicable, and turned his head to look out:

"It's just past the time of the application. What's wrong, young master? ”

Xie Zuo didn't bother to pay attention to his question. When I went to the firewood room, I just entered the application, and after the trial of the three masters, it was almost three minutes of the application. Speaking of which, from the time I returned to the house, a quarter of an hour had passed, that is, only half an hour?

How is this possible! Xie Zuo suddenly thought of another possibility.

"Interrogating Bai Jin, was it yesterday or today?"

Xie Qingyi opened his mouth wide and looked at Xie Zuo with idiot eyes:

"Today, of course! It's only been a long time, don't you remember, young master? Could it be that the soul loss disease has been committed again? ”

Xie Zuo knocked away Xie Qingyi's big hand that reached over to touch his forehead, and fell into deep thought.

From the current situation, there is only one possibility to explain what happened: in the middle of the mission, outside time has not passed! In other words, the flow of time inside and outside is out of sync!

Only in this way can we reasonably explain why it took three or four hours to get Cao Zhi done, and only half an hour has passed from the outside world. Even if it is half an hour, it will be delayed in the star map space instead of the task!

Thinking about the reason, Xie Zuo let out a long breath. If so, it's not a bad thing, at least in the future, there is no need to worry about unnecessary losses due to the delay in the mission time, which will lead to untimely response to changes in the outside world. If you want to blame, you can only blame the damn system, and you don't make anything clear, which makes you misunderstand.

Xie Zuo put his mind at ease and suddenly remembered another thing.

"Tsing Yi, where is your father?"

Xie Qingyi was obviously a little uncomfortable with the young master's jumping question, and was stunned for a while before replying:

"After coming out of the firewood room, my father was a little wrong, and he kept muttering something in his mouth, and he ignored me when I called him. I guess it's time to go back to the room! ”

Xie Zuo nodded: "Take me to him." ”

The old housekeeper's residence was in the front yard. Xie Mansion is a three-entry house, the front yard is mostly a side house for servants, Xie Zuo lives in the atrium, and enjoys the central courtyard exclusively; Because the Xie family has no female dependents, the backyard is basically empty, and it is reduced to the existence of firewood rooms, utility rooms and houses.

Xie Qingyi pushed the door directly and entered, Xie Zuo looked at the open door, the room was messy, all kinds of things were placed everywhere, and the old housekeeper was facing away from Xie Zuo, burying his head in a cabinet and not knowing what to find, and he didn't even notice that someone came in.

"Dad, the young master is looking for you!" Xie Qingyi's loud voice woke up the old housekeeper, and he turned his head, with a blank look in his eyes.

"Young master, if you have something to tell Tsing Yi, how dare you go on a trip in person? Shame on the old slave! ”

The old housekeeper was about to come over to greet him, but he was hugged by Xie Zuo. Looking at the old man's haggard body, the tiredness on his ravine-filled face, and even the folds exuding from it, Xie Zuo couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

To be honest, as a modern person who has received the education of a free folk pig, it is difficult for Xie Zuo to understand the thinking of people in this era. The so-called loyalty, in the materialistic real society, has long lost the soil for survival. However, it is precisely because of this that most people have the desire and expectation of loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and faith, and Xie Zuo is no exception.

Whether it is a bandit, or the Yu family or the Qin family, what is targeted is actually only Xie Zuo. To put it mildly, even if the Xie family's mansion is all gone, Xie Zuo will not be surprised by this. Of course, now the news has not spread, and the only people who know that the broken ship of the Xie family is about to capsize are Xie Zuo and the old housekeeper, even Xie Qingyi is ignorant about it.

Therefore, when he saw that the old housekeeper had just finished his days of running around for the Xie family, and had rushed back from the field, before he had time to repair, and he was busy for a greater crisis, even more concerned than Xie Zuo, a genuine young master, Xie Zuo's heart couldn't help but give birth to his own gratitude, gratitude for the old man's loyalty, and guilt arising from it.
