Although the roads in the town are paved with stones and sand, they are generally smooth, and it doesn't take much physical effort for Jue Ge to walk on this kind of road for those who wear sneakers.

However, the distance is objective, and Jue Ge's speculation that "physical fitness is reduced according to the physical sensation of the character" is also correct, so he still has to allocate physical energy reasonably to avoid unnecessary waste.

"Hmm...... The actual distance was farther than expected...... "Feng Bujue walked for nearly twenty minutes, and still did not reach the town square, which made him have to speed up his pace," and there was not even a single figure on the way, and the shops along the street were all closed...... "This place ...... It can't be a 'ghost town'......"

Whoop Boom Boom Boom ......

Just as Jue Ge was thinking, from the fog in front of him, there was a sudden and regular sizzling sound.

And the voice approached at a very fast speed, from far and near.

"What's that?" When Brother Jue heard the sound, he stopped vigilantly, and without thinking, he put his right hand into his pocket, grabbed his mobile phone, and was ready to face the monster.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The voices were getting closer, but there was still no one in sight.

Jingle Bell –

Suddenly, several crisp ringtones came into Brother Jue's ears, and the direction of the sound was the same as the "sizzling" sound.

"Huh?" At this moment, Feng Bujue seemed to have discovered something.

He looked down at the ground, and after two seconds, he said, "I'll go...... It's really a bicycle ......."

Jingle Bell –

Before the words fell, the bell rang again. This time the voice was closer, almost in front of him.

Brother Jue's reaction was also timely, he immediately flashed to the side and jumped a few steps away.

Then, he saw a trail from the tire of a bicycle, "passing" past where he had just stood.

"What's the trouble...... Feng Bujue turned his head to look at the air, and said in a deep voice, "Invisible? ”

Out of the instinct of a detective (well, I know he's a mystery writer), he immediately took a few steps forward, crouched down to check the wheel prints, and muttered, "The patterns on the tire prints have been smoothed out, so it's been a long time...... Judging by the depth of the tire marks and the sound of the bike, it should be an old-fashioned metal curved handle bike with a chain, and a heavier person on it...... Well...... Or maybe it's a ghost ......," he said with a gentle stroke on his lower lip, "the sound of the chain rolling sounded smooth, and the rest of the body didn't make a sound, which means ...... Although the car is often used, it is well maintained. ”

"Ahh Thinking about it, Feng Bujue suddenly slapped his head, "I was addicted to playing unconsciously...... he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Cut...... If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up. ”

According to the voice of the self-proclaimed postmaster in the opening CG, the player needs to arrive at "his" office by "9 a.m.". By this time, it was already 8:52...... Brother Jue hasn't even seen the shadow of the post office.

"Do you really have to run......" He quickly stood up, and the girl ran. Anyway, there was no one on the street, and there were no vehicles, except for the "invisible bicycle" he had just encountered, and he was not afraid of hitting anything.

"Speaking of which...... The current main quest [Approved by the Ghost Postman to become the new Postman in Otaku Town]...... The 'time' requirement was not written. Feng Bujue said in his heart as he ran, "It's just that the 'postmaster' told me to be sure to arrive before nine o'clock...... In other words, even if I arrive after 9 o'clock, the main quest will not necessarily fail. Merely...... The next plot direction and the difficulty of the script may change because of this. ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt...... It's best not to be late.

…………

Four minutes later......

"Finally arrived......" After running for a long distance, a circular square appeared in front of him.

The pavement of "Otaku Square" is paved with cement, and only a small part of the area is made of stone bricks; There is a simple fountain in the center of the square, but it ...... The water in the fountain has dried up; The buildings around the square are relatively tall, and most of them are public facilities, such as police stations, fire stations, hospitals, etc.

Jue Ge kept running towards the north side (he could still find the north), and soon saw the sign of the post office.

"Two floors, about 300 square meters......" Feng Buyi thought to himself as he rushed to the gate of the post office, "the worst may be...... There was no floor map or anyone for me to ask for directions...... I had to figure out the location of the director's office on my own in three minutes. ”

With that in mind, he pushed open the thick glass door in front of him.

"Very good......" Brother Jue said as soon as he entered the door. Because he found ...... The first floor of this post office is a lobby, and apart from a service desk on the right side of the entrance, there is only a row of windows for various businesses.

"Where are you......" His gaze flickered quickly, and for a moment he stopped at the staircase leading to the second floor. There was a sign standing next to the staircase, which read "Office area, idlers are not allowed to enter", which is also a relatively obvious reminder.

When he ran to the stairs, Feng Bujue took the time to look at the time again.

[8:58]

"Lounge, security room, financial room, toilet ......" Feng unconsciously went up to the second floor and ran all the way, finally, at 8:59:40, he came to the door of the last room at the end of the corridor, "Director's Office......" He looked at the sign on the door and muttered, then looked down at the watch and said, "Huh...... There are more than a dozen seconds left...... It's dangerous. ”

Knock Knock Knock –

While looking at his watch, his left hand was already knocking on the door.

"Please come in." The voice coming from inside the door is exactly the same as the narration in the opening CG.

Feng Bujue heard this, took a breath, wiped his sweat, and then held the doorknob and pushed open the door in front of him.

The furnishings in the house are very ordinary, in addition to the office tables and chairs, there are several cabinets, a glass case, two bonsai, and two flags. Jue could recognize the one side of the star-striped pattern as the American flag, but he didn't know what the other side was...... Normally, though, it's the town's flag or the state's flag.

"I have to say...... You made a very bad impression on me from the start, Mr. Dave. Before Brother Jue could speak, the man sitting behind the desk said a very bad line.

It was an old man in a plaid suit with round, black-rimmed eyes. He looked to be over sixty years old, but his eyes were still piercing and his back was straight.

"Do you have any problems with my dress or hairstyle? Mr. Feng Bujue is naturally not the kind of person who is at a loss when encountering an emergency, after hearing the other party's inexplicable criticism, he calmly asked a question and closed the door behind him casually.

"No, I'm very lenient with the grooming of my employees." "There's only one thing I want...... That's 'punctuality'. When he said the last two words, he deliberately accentuated his tone.

"The moment I knocked on your door, it was 8:59:45." Feng Bujue met the other party's gaze without fear and replied, "This is not beyond the time you specified, right?" ”

"......I see," the director said, raising his hand and showing his hand to Brother Jue, "Your watch is three minutes slower." ”

"Huh?" Feng Bujue's eyes changed slightly, "No......" He immediately took out the mobile phone in his pocket and pressed it, "That's right...... My watch and phone time are the same, both are ......"

“…… It's all three minutes slower. The director interrupted Brother Jue.

"Uh......" Feng Buyi raised his eyes unconsciously, looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Is it possible, is it your ...... director?"

"Impossible." The director directly denied his hypothesis before Brother Jue said "three minutes faster".

"Okay." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue straightened his face, "It's me who is wrong." ”

Brother Jue is also a sensible person, and he knows that in some cases, the facts are not important, but the attitude is important.

A leader is a leader, even if he doesn't know what to do, or refers to a deer as a horse, you should try not to correct or contradict him, otherwise...... You're just bored with yourself. Of course, the kind of good leader who "promotes you because you can't get him off the stage" ...... It's also a zài.,If you think you're lucky enough to meet,You might as well give it a try.,Don't blame me if you're killed......

"No, you're not wrong."

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Mr. Director's attitude turned 180 degrees.

"Huh?" At this moment, Feng Bujue was really stunned.

"My watch is really three minutes faster, and I know that." The director continued, "The reason why I wronged you is because I want to see ...... In the face of pressure, will you compromise with power or hold fast to the truth. ”

"You don't have to rise to this height...... Feng Bujue stared at the dead fish and looked at the other party and replied, "Just because I respect the elderly...... Can I let you do it? ”

"Do you think I'm old?" The director followed Brother Jue's words and threw another difficult question to answer.

"Yes." Feng Bujue replied very simply, since the other party wants to listen to the truth, he will tell the truth to the end, whether it is difficult to hear is another matter, "I think that if I argue with you seriously, you are likely to burst your blood vessels and die suddenly, so I admitted my mistake." ”

"Very good!" The director slapped the table and stood up.

This move of his ...... Let Feng instinctively take a half step back. For a moment, Brother Jue felt that the old man wanted to turn over the table and beat himself.

"Officially acquainted." The director straightened his waist and stretched out his right hand forward, "I'm the chief of the post office in Otaku Town, Norman. Nelson. ”

"Hmm...... Hello, Mr. Nelson. Feng Bujue hesitated for half a second and stretched out his hand.

"Call me Norman, thank you." At this point, Nelson's face showed a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you, Norman." Feng Bujue also replied with a smile.

Although he was amiable on the surface, Brother Jue did not stop observing and analyzing this NPC: "A man who is very good at using language and demeanor, he is very bold when he is strict, he is also very infectious when he is cordial, and he is stronger than me when shaking hands...... Well...... are all typical political characteristics. His gaze wandered over the other man, "The collar, cuffs, and hands all show that he had a military background." "The longer he looked, the more detailed he became," the meticulous hair and well-trimmed beard showed that he was quite concerned about his appearance; The third button of the jacket has been sewn up, and the elbow part has also been mended, indicating that he is a thrifty man; There was a sign of a ring on the ring finger of the left hand, but now it is gone...... Divorced? Or a widower? ”

A series of thoughts crossed my mind, and it took only a few seconds.

After the two shook hands, Nelson said, "Mr. Dave, as you can see, I like straightforward people. As he spoke, he had already sat down again, and raised his hand to signal Brother Jue to sit on a chair on the other side of the desk, "In my place, you don't have to worry about offending people with your words, let alone worrying about your ......appearance," he paused, "You just need to remember two words...... First, punctuality, and second, firmness. ”

"Sounds ...... Have I already passed the interview? Feng asked tentatively.

"Huh...... Tong guò? Hahaha......" Nelson laughed, "and not yet, Mr. Dave." As he spoke, he opened a drawer in front of him and took out a stack of envelopes, "The philosophy of our bureau is that practice is the only criterion for testing employees. ”

"This sounds familiar......," Feng Bujue spat in a low voice.

Nelson ignored him and continued, "Whether you can be officially hired by our bureau depends on your performance today." He pushed the stack of envelopes in front of Brother Jue and said, "This is your task today." ”

[Side quest triggered] As soon as Nelson's voice fell, the system voice sounded.

Feng Bujue immediately opened the game menu, glanced at the task bar, and saw the new task [Send all letters before midnight, current progress 0/13].

"Since it's a branch line, it means that it's okay if you don't do it...... Brother Jue said secretly in his heart, "To put it simply, there will be additional rewards if you send it before midnight, if you don't finish it...... It will not cause a failure to clear the customs. ”

"Here's a map of the town of Otaku." After a few seconds, Nelson pulled out a 20x40 puzzle map from a drawer and placed it on the table, "And ...... A workbook. He pulled out another booklet, which wasn't too thick, "and...... Your bike keys. It was supposed to be the last thing, because he closed the drawer when he took it out, "and out the back door was the carport, and the satchel with the envelope was in the bike pocket." Since you are not yet a regular employee of our bureau, you ...... Today you can only wear civilian clothes to deliver letters. He paused for two seconds, looked at Brother Jue's face and said, "Is there any more problem?" Mr. Dave. ”R1152
