Volume 1: The First Phantom Chapter 18: The Strange Old Man

After getting rid of the berserk tusk elephant, Situ Fengya's next journey was unusually smooth, before encountering the berserk tusk elephant, in addition to encountering a fixed monster area, he would also encounter randomly generated monsters, although the level of those monsters is not high, but the action is extremely sensitive, and it always takes a lot of effort to destroy, and when Situ Fengya gets rid of the tusked elephant, there will be no monsters that will launch a surprise attack on him.

This is not a bad thing for Situ Fengya, at least it saves him a lot of time, after the battle with the tusked elephant, Situ Fengya's spirit is already very tired, what he wants to do most now is to get out of the Qingshui Forest in the shortest time, rush to the academy town, and then immediately go offline and sleep well. Although fighting in the game does not consume physical strength, the consumption of spirit is no different from that in real life, which means that Situ Fengya's current mental condition is exactly the same as that of not closing his eyes for three days and three nights in real life.

About two days passed, during which Situ Fengya spent the rest of his time in the game except for occasionally going offline to solve physiological problems. In a place like the forest, when he has no lighting tools, it is actually very dangerous to travel at night, but in order to rush to the academy town as soon as possible, Situ Fengya still chooses to discredit and advance, of course, Situ Fengya can find the way or rely on Xiwan to be able to see things at night.

On the third day, when Situ Fengya saw the gate of Academy Town, he almost had an urge to cry bitterly, these days in the forest, his spirit no longer maintains a high degree of concentration all the time, usually such a situation is only encountered when dealing with tasks, and it is only a day or two, like this situation of maintaining a high concentration for a long time, Situ Fengya is the first time to encounter it.

"Xiwan! Look! That's College Town! Xiwan stood on Situ Fengya's shoulder, and followed the direction of Situ Fengya's finger and looked at the gate of the academy town not far away. In order to hurry, Situ Fengya didn't spend time leveling, and naturally he didn't explode any additional equipment, so that the equipment on Situ Fengya's body was still burst out of Dongxiong, and now Situ Fengya looks like a barbarian who has just returned to modern society from the primeval forest. But jokes are jokes, Situ Fengya's current equipment will definitely not be available to players at this stage.

At the gate of the academy town where Situ Fengya came, he was stopped without any accidents.

"Hello, please show me the proof." One of the guards standing at the gate first saluted Situ Fengya respectfully, and then raised his arm to prove that Situ Fengya was going to enter the academy town.

"Well, here you go." Situ Fengya took out the letter of recommendation from the village chief from his backpack and put it in the hands of the guards.

"This is ......" The guard took the letter, showing a slight look of doubt, when he read the words on the letter of recommendation, the experience on his face immediately turned into respect, the guard put away his weapon, handed the letter of recommendation to Situ Fengya with both hands, and said: "This distinguished guest, welcome to Academy Town!" ”

"Uh...... Thank you. Situ Fengya was a little surprised, the guard's attitude changed too quickly, at first it was a normal attitude towards him, but after reading the letter, he immediately changed to a respectful expression, so Situ Fengya couldn't help but bared his teeth in secret.

After the episode, Situ Fengya still came to Academy Town, he planned to go offline to rest as soon as he arrived in Academy Town, but when he actually came to Academy Town, he was immediately attracted by the scenery of Academy Town. This town is completely different from the towns he usually comes into contact with, there are no high-rise buildings, no traffic, only antique two-story buildings, and pedestrians in ancient clothes that can only be seen in the time-traveling drama.

Situ Fengya's attention was immediately attracted by this town, and he seemed to forget his tiredness and began to wander around this town aimlessly. The scale of the town was much larger than Situ Fengya had imagined, he originally thought that the academy town was just a small town near Lingshui Academy, but when he actually came here, he found that the scale of this town was completely equivalent to a small city! No, it's no different from a city other than the absence of walls.

In addition to the town's essential prop shops, pharmacies, equipment stores, and blacksmith shops, Situ Fengya also saw some other shops here, such as clothing stores, toy stores, candy stores, furniture stores, bookstores, cafes, ornamental pet shops, and even a small playground here.

"Oh my God...... Is this really a town? In Situ Fengya's concept, his impression of the town is still stuck in the scene of large farmland and large wasteland, but this is not because he has little knowledge, but because Huaxia is urbanized, and the existence of the countryside has been completely invisible a few decades ago, and the slightly larger town has also been integrated into the city.

Walking through the streets of the town and looking at all kinds of pedestrians around him, Situ Fengya suddenly had a feeling of returning to ancient times. For some reason, he likes this feeling very much, although modern life brings many conveniences, but the fast-paced life makes him feel a little bored.

"If only I could actually live here...... Not! Situ Fengya put his hands behind his head, and when he looked up at the buildings on both sides of the street, he accidentally bumped into a rickety old man, and the old man was knocked to the ground by Situ Fengya, and the wine jug in his hand also fell to the ground, and the wine in the wine jug was spilled on the ground. Seeing that he accidentally bumped into someone, Situ Fengya hurriedly helped the old man up, "Old man, I'm really embarrassed!" Are you alright? ”

"I ...... It's okay! Belch! But...... You've spilled all my wine! The old man had obviously drunk a lot of wine, and when he opened his mouth to speak, the smell of wine in his mouth directly smoked Situ Fengya. The old man shook the empty flask in his hand and said with some regret: "Alas...... It's a pity that I have a good pot of wine......"

"Real...... I'm so sorry! Situ Fengya never imagined that he would make such a mistake, but what made him a little curious was that with his insight, he didn't notice the existence of this old man at all just now, as if this old man appeared out of thin air, "That's it, old man, where did you buy this pot of wine, I'll go get you another pot." Or shall I pay you directly? This is Situ Fengya's character, if he is wrong, he will never shirk his responsibility because of the other party's low status.

"Compensation? How to pay? The old man laughed, laughing so much that Situ Fengya's scalp was a little numb, "If this wine is spilled, it's like a person is gone, and it can't be found again." Even if you are buying a pot, is it still the same pot? If a person dies once, after reincarnation, is it still the same person? ”

"This ...... Of course not......" Situ Fengya was puzzled by the old man's inexplicable words, he didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "Even if it's different, as long as it's still that kind of wine, the taste will not change after all." People are like this, what if they are reincarnated once, even if their personalities are different, their nature will not change. ”

"Hahahaha! Good! Good nature unchanged! The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, causing the surrounding passers-by to frequently look sideways and comment, but the old man didn't care about the eyes of passers-by at all, he stretched out his dirty hand and patted Situ Fengya's shoulder a few times: "Young man, you are very promising, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future." What is your name? ”

"Jianya."

"Jianya? Hahaha! Good! Jianya, old man, can I rely on the old man and sell the old man and make a somewhat scoundrel request? ”

"Old man, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Can you take off that strange mask on your face and let me, old man, see your face?"

"......" Although Situ Fengya wondered why this weird old man wanted to see his face, he still did what he asked, after all, he was not a lady, and there would be no loss of meat for people to take a look. Situ Fengya slowly put his hand on the mask and gently took it off.

“!!!” The moment the old man saw Situ Fengya's face, he clearly saw that there was a look of surprise in the old man's eyes, as if he had seen a long-lost treasure. The old man raised the flask and poured it, and a few drops of wine fell out of the flask, and the old man casually pinned the flask to his waist, and turned around with his hands behind his back to leave.

"Old man......" Situ Fengya stretched out his hand to grab the old man's shoulder, but the old man's body seemed to have a mysterious repulsion, so that Situ Fengya couldn't touch his body at all.

"Young man, go to Lingshui Academy! Go to Lingshui Academy and find someone named Qin Beichen, he may be able to provide you with some help! The old man seemed to have a weak body, but he walked much faster than ordinary people, and he could only see the old man's back in the blink of an eye.

"Qin Beichen......" Situ Fengya lowered his head and silently recited the name mentioned by the old man, and after a while, Situ Fengya remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask the old man's name. He hurriedly beckoned in the direction where the old man had left, and shouted loudly, "Old man! I don't know what to call it! ”

"My name...... Qin Ran! ”

"Qin Ran......" Situ Fengya frowned, he felt that this name seemed to be a little familiar, and soon he realized that this Qin Ran was the former dean of Lingshui Academy that the village chief had mentioned to him, and that Qin Beichen, since he had the same surname as Qin Ran, he definitely had something to do with Qin Ran.

However, even if he had more doubts in his heart, Situ Fengya was not in the mood to explore now, after talking to the old man, Situ Fengya had lost his curiosity about this town, and that feeling of exhaustion quickly surged all over his body. Situ Fengya stretched his waist and looked around, and then went offline.

Situ Fengya slowly opened his eyes and gradually adapted to the light in the room, Situ Fengya rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, and at this time, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside, and then Jia Ye walked in.

"Young master, you're back, and everything is done?"

"Well, it's all done." Situ Fengya stretched and stood up from the bed, "Master Jia, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"That's the case, the master just called and said that he hoped you would deal with the affairs of the Jinghua Orphanage tomorrow, after the fall of Sun Zhenhuan, the orphanage lost its source of income, but there are still many orphans in the orphanage, and the master hopes that you can deal with it."

"I know it......" Situ Fengya rubbed his head, feeling a little helpless, when he saw Sun Zhenhuan's documents, he guessed that Situ Hongyi would let him go to work on the aftermath, "Okay, I know, what's that...... Jia Ye, is there still food in the kitchen? I'm a little hungry. ”

"There are no more meals in the kitchen, but I can cook a few dishes for the young master."

"Oooh! I haven't eaten Jia Ye's cooked dishes for a long time, so it's troublesome for Jia Ye! ”
