Chapter 22: The Biggest Time Bomb
After explaining to the three sisters of the Yu family that the size of the human number room is this size, and that the inn does not provide a dresser to enter the door, Jiang Beiran finally settled the five junior sisters into the room, although this time the five of them were a hundred reluctantly.
"Bang."
Closing the door of his room, Jiang Beiran breathed a sigh of relief, these five daughters are even more lacking in common sense than when they first crossed here, in their worldview, the inn can provide services such as silk quilts, purple forest grass incense, and petal baths.
This made Jiang Beiran very curious about what kind of inn they lived in before, because as far as he knew, even some inns in the county town would not provide these luxuries.
Is it true that if you have money, you can do whatever you want? ’
After a short rest, Jiang Beiran took off his blank suit, changed into an inconspicuous coarse cloth coat and walked out of the inn, it was rare to go down the mountain once, of course, he had to go out and trigger the option a few more times.
……
"Ouch, Master Wu is here, what are you going to do today?"
"Get me two pieces of fat, chop them into puree, and the more crushed the better."
"Okay~ Just look at it."
Passing by a butcher stall, Jiang Beiran, who heard the conversation, watched the owner of the butcher shop chop two pieces of good front leg meat into meat puree, and then carefully wrapped them separately with bamboo hemp paper and strung them together with rope.
"Master Wu, your meat is ready, a total of 20 Wen."
The strong man who was called a martial artist by the owner of the meat stall took the meat and said casually: "The old rule, take credit first, and end it together at the end of the month." ”
After hearing this, the butcher stall owner's face collapsed, and his tone was both nervous and flattering: "Master Wu...... You ...... last month"
"Huh!?"
As soon as the butcher stall owner was halfway through his words, the strong man who was called the martial master glared at him fiercely.
"What, can't you believe me?"
The courage that the butcher stall owner had just mustered up disappeared in an instant, and he smiled again and again: "How dare you, how dare you, the little one just asks casually, asks casually, you go slowly." ”
At the same time, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 1: Step forward to help the butcher stall owner administer justice. Completion Reward: Sirius Sword (Yellow Tier Upper Grade)]
[Option 2: Shoot secretly and teach Wu Wei a lesson. Completion Reward: Pilu Helm (Yellow Rank Medium)】
[Option 3: Stay put.] Completion Reward: +1 for random basic stat points]
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Zhen and said "sensible", and then left in a dashing manner and disappeared around the corner.
"Alas...... How do you spend this day? The owner of the butcher stall sighed with a melancholy face, and finally couldn't help but pick up the cloth on the board and cover it in front of his eyes, and wiped it vigorously and wiped it again.
"Boss, here are two catties of pork."
When the owner of the butcher stall heard this, he hurriedly put down the cloth and said with a big smile: "Okay, which part of the meat do you want?" ”
"Neck meat, some more pig ears."
"Okay, do I need to cut it for you?"
"No, just give it to me."
"One piece of neck meat ~ one piece of pig ears, come, you take it, the pig ears are cheaper, you can give 18 yuan."
"The money is here."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll count...... Hey, where are you going!? Feed! Come back! I haven't counted it yet! Come back! You're a !! ”
But as soon as the owner of the butcher stall chased him out of the stall with a knife, he found that the young customer had disappeared into the crowd, and he could not find it.
"Fuck! Don't let Lao Tzu catch you! Caught Lao Tzu and peeled your skin! ”
After playing in the harbor, the owner of the butcher stall saw that the townspeople looked too much, and in anger, he brandished a kitchen knife and shouted: "Look at what! Go your way! ”
Seeing that the owner of the butcher stall had become crazy, the townspeople who were yelled at did not dare to reply, and dispersed one after another.
"Alas......"
When the onlookers had left, the butcher stall owner let out a long sigh, and his body seemed to have lost all strength.
Returning to the meat stall with blank eyes, the boss glanced at the small cloth bag that had been placed in the corner of the stall with a thousand knives just now.
"Holy shit!"
The butcher stall owner roared and took the cloth bag and was about to throw it on the ground, but found that there seemed to be some weight inside, although he thought it was unlikely to be money, but the butcher stall owner still pulled the cloth bag away with a glimmer of hope.
"This!?"
The butcher's eyes widened, because it contained three pieces of broken silver.
"Three...... Three coins of silver!? ”
The butcher stall owner shouted in disbelief.
Suddenly raised his head and looked again in the direction where the young man had disappeared just now, the boss of the butcher stall with his mouth open.
Finally on the ground "Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!" He kowtowed three times and slapped himself in the mouth.
"Tell you to kill a thousand knives and go wild, and you didn't even say thank you to your benefactor!"
After scolding himself, the butcher stall owner swore in his heart that he would thank him if he saw his benefactor next time, but he couldn't remember the young man's appearance in his heart.
'Strange...... I usually remember the face of every guest, but why did I forget the appearance of the benefactor!? Ah! Wang Fugui, Wang Fugui! You're stupid! It's useless when it doesn't matter! ’
After saying that, he slapped himself hard.
At this time, Jiang Beiran, who was carrying two bags of meat, had already come to the end of the street, thinking about what the boss's expression would be when he went back and saw three coins of silver in the cloth bag.
Alas, it is not easy for everyone to survive in this troubled world, and that's all I can help. ’
Although all kinds of tragic encounters when he first crossed over made Jiang Beiran determined to be a refined egoistic person, after seeing countless tragic encounters of ordinary people, he still couldn't maintain his "iron heart" after all.
To this end, after carefully studying the various meanings of the system options, he developed a complete set of "helping rules".
To put it simply, on the premise that his own safety can be guaranteed, under which circumstances he can turn around and help.
First of all, people who often have access to can't help, such as those senior brothers in the Guixin Sect, whether they know or don't know, Jiang Beiran will not bypass the system's options to help, because it is easy to provoke follow-up incidents.
For example, Liu Zijin will find him this time, because Jiang Beiran is always hard-hearted when he is an iron seal.
Jiang Beiran, who knew that he had to keep a low profile, would try his best to make himself look very "ordinary" when he did everything, so when he was an iron seal, he thought several times about deliberately not making a move, causing the new disciple's trial task to fail, so that the 100% success rate of the iron seal on his file could not be like this
Garish.
But whenever those little junior brothers looked at themselves helplessly and asked, "Senior brother, what should I do", Jiang Beiran always couldn't harden his heart, and finally could only comfort himself with words like 'Anyway, the system didn't jump out of the option to remind me that it would be dangerous for me to maintain this success rate'.
This led to his iron seal reputation being too high, although Jiang Beiran told them not to promote himself, but it was inevitable that there would be a few accidents like Liu Zijin.
The second is that Jiang Beiran will not help when the system options describe words such as "stay away from here", "pass by", "do nothing", etc., and leave when it is time to go, without hesitation.
Under the premise of these two absolutes, sometimes Jiang Beiran will also help those oppressed people, as a reward for paying a little attribute or a little skill.
……
Two hours later, Jiang Beiran, who had already triggered nearly a dozen options, was satisfied, and was not ready to continue walking around the town.
It's not that he doesn't have a lot of points, but once he triggered more than 30 options in a row in a day, and Jiang Beiran, who felt that he had made a lot of money, went out again the next day and found that the system options suddenly came out.
This made Jiang Beiran, who was accustomed to relying on options to avoid trouble, quite insecure, and stayed in the room all day without going out, and then it was not until the third day that the options returned to normal, and at the same time, Jiang Beiran understood that he could not trigger the system options excessively, otherwise the latter would "strike".
In addition, he not only gained a lot of points after walking down this night, but also had a preliminary understanding of the forces in this Luoxia Town.
Before crossing over, Jiang Beiran always admired the heroes who acted chivalrous and punished the evil when he read martial arts novels, but after crossing into this world, Jiang Beiran suddenly found that these "heroes" were sometimes no different from the underworld.
Is there a hero who really serves the country and the people and does not ask for anything in return? Of course there are, but very, very few.
Many rangers or light heroes often form various gangs, often even form brothers with different surnames, forming one force after another, in the eyes of these forces, there is no national law, only the rules of the rivers and lakes, if someone dares to violate these rules, then someone will act as a judge, to make a decision.
And when such a force expands large enough, it becomes an extremely powerful force.
Some have developed into "cults" in the eyes of the government and decency, while others have formed heroic clans with strong clansmen and familial colors.
The patriarch is the boss, the family law is the gang rules, and all the gang members share honor and disgrace like a family.
And whether it is a cult or a heroic clan, there is no shortage of masters in it, after all, not every cultivator has the courage to cultivate a sword and a heart, and cultivate a whole body of ability to repay the society and benefit mankind.
Most of them are just for selfish desires.
So even if it's just a little bit more powerful in a certain town, after you beat him, you find out that he is actually a peripheral member of the so-and-so sect or the so-and-so gang.
Coldly, he took out a cannon and shouted at you: "A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will meet you!" ”
The most important thing for these rangers is face, even if the peripheral members you fight have nothing to do with them, they will come out of the nest for no other reason, that is, because you don't give face to the people of the gang.
Therefore, whenever Jiang Beiran goes to a new place, he will check whose chassis it is while triggering the option to prevent it from happening.
And the investigation process is also very simple, as long as you go to those wine shops or cottages, it won't take long to hear a few splashes shouting loudly, "We XX help you in this field today!" Or, "Who would dare not give us XX face in this realm?" ”
For example, when Jiang Beiran passed by a tavern just now, he heard a drunk man shouting: "Brother, don't worry, in Luoxia Town, as long as you report my name as Huangbang Ma Dajiao, everyone will have to give you three points of face." ”
The name of the Yellow Gang, Jiang Beiran, has been heard many times when he went down the mountain, it is a gang organization that has emerged in recent years, and I heard that there are masters at the level of great Xuanshi in this gang, so the development speed is quite fast.
After earning enough points and learning the information he needed to know, Jiang Beiran returned to the inn and walked into his room.
Closing the door and lighting the oil lamp on the square table, Jiang Beiran sat down and took out a few sticks of Wula grass from the Qiankun ring.
At the end of the day today, the performance of the Lu Ran suit was very good, so that the five junior sisters did not attract any attention at all, so Jiang Beiran decided to continue to improve this suit and continue to strengthen its hidden performance.
This research was studied until late at night, looking at the dozen or so straw hats with different images on the table, Jiang Beiran fell into deep thought, thinking about what other functions could be added to it.
"Ha~"
Thinking about it, Jiang Beiran yawned, felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and put all the straw hats into the Qiankun ring, and decided to study it again tomorrow.
chewed a "chewing pill" that he made with Qingxin grass, and after completing the oral cleaning, Jiang Beiran was just about to fall into bed, when he saw three options jump out.
[Option 1: Sleep directly.] Completion Reward: Dou Zhuan Xing Shift (Ground Rank Medium Grade)】
[Option 2: Tell you again not to run around. Completion Reward: Golden Snake Crane Fist (Xuan-level Medium Grade)】
[Option 3: Go to the door of the inn and observe secretly.] Completion Reward: +1 for random basic skill points]
The reward of the prefecture-level mid-grade scared Jiang Beiran instantly, what kind of sleep is this? After decisively choosing Sanhou, Jiang Beiran took out a set of his special night clothes from the Qiankun ring and put them on, climbed out of the window, and came to the door of the inn.
In less than ten minutes, Jiang Beiran saw a figure walking out of the inn, it was Fang Qiuyao, who was supposed to stay in the room obediently now, but fortunately, the suit was still on her.
'Alas...... This girl is indeed the biggest time bomb. ’
Jiang Beiran thought that her words in the afternoon would wake her up a little, so she wanted her to digest it slowly, but now it seems that she has digested a loneliness......
After exploring the brain, he looked out a few times, and found that no one was paying attention to him, and Qiu Yao swaggered out of the inn and walked towards the place where the tofu brain stall was overturned when they first came.
At the same time, three more options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 1: Capture Fang Qiuyao back to the inn.] Completion Reward: Qingyun Dance (Xuan-level Upper Grade)】
[Option 2: Let Fang Qiuyao realize your existence and consciously go back to the room. Completion Reward: Swallowtail Spear (Gen Rank Lower Grade)】
[Option 3: Follow her quietly.] Completion Reward: +1 for random basic skill points]
Seeing these three options, Jiang Beiran thought about it for a while and understood the meaning of the system.
'Is this going to let this girl be beaten by society once?' ’
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Beiran felt that this was also a good attention, so he chose three, and jumped on the roof to quietly follow Fang Qiuyao.
PS: 4000 words big chapter, two chapters and one chapter, otherwise there will be a very ecstatic broken chapter. (I'm afraid of your blades)
