Chapter 44: Facelings
"Hehe, these lovely children are really polite."
"The Lin family is worthy of being a wealthy family hundreds of years ago, although it is now in the middle of the road, but it is very good for the children's education."
"Children are the reflection of adults...... It's a mirror of this world......"
"You have to teach them well so that they can show good character."
"As the saying goes, children with good personalities can become cute!"
The chestnut seller was babbling to herself as she watched the faceless child leave, then pushed the cart and continued to lead the way.
Relevant information gradually appeared in Chen Ye's mind.
That's right!
These children should be "Facelings".
When they are in juveniles, their faces do not have any organs, but they remain inherently innocent.
As they grow, the Facelings will absorb several different personality traits, resulting in different Personality Masks.
The appearance of the mask will depend on the personality.
Some powerful "Facelings" are even capable of holding more than a dozen personality masks.
They pride themselves on being able to hold more masks.
"Granny, you know that kid kicked...... The ball...... What is it? β
Chen Ye originally wanted to use the word "human head".
However, he suddenly realized that the grandmother who sold the chestnuts had emphasized earlier that this was not a human head, but a "fruit seed", and then changed his story.
Although he has a lot of information about identity, professions, trait items, and strategies in his mind......
But the situation in Linjiang City seems to be different from the last version of the closed beta, as if it has been updated and iterated for several versions. Not only are the rules of the blood-colored phone and the equivalent exchange, but there are also many new gadgets that have never been seen in the game before.
The old woman who sold chestnuts shook her head with a smile:
"Where does my old wife understand the new trend that is popular among young people?"
"I only know that this kind of fruit seed seems to be a newly popular item in the Yongan market recently, representing a new trend in the planting industry."
"As long as you sow seeds, you can grow a thousand strange faces...... It's hard to understand what's so interesting about this, but a lot of trend-seeking young people like these maverick gadgets. β
"Especially for Facelings, they are dangerous in the early stages of their growth, and if they are not careful, they will be polluted by 'fallen personalities'."
"I want to ...... The fruit seed was supposed to be a toy that the family bought for their children. You see, they can't speak, they can't laugh, they can't cry, they have the cleanest personalities, they are the most compatible with children, and they don't have the slightest risk of being polluted and degraded. β
"If you're willing to buy one for them, hehe, with the hospitable and courteous character of this family, you should be very happy."
Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, he never expected that this thing that looked like a human head would be the latest trendy product in this city?
However, after carefully analyzing this passage, Chen Ye found that there was really a lot of information in it!
The grandmother who sold chestnuts was obviously hinting at her own gift-giving.
Since the family of the "Facelings" comes from a famous family, the clan is very disciplined, and it should be a relatively easy existence to contact, at least not too evil.
Following etiquette is the way to get along with them.
And......
Since this family pays attention to courtesy and exchanges, if they can do what they like, they will get a valuable "return gift".
"Wait a minute, you can go to Yongan Market, you can pay more attention to this trendy item." Chen Ye said secretly in his heart.
Of course, the premise is that the price is not too expensive.
After all, I still have enough to buy a trolley, and the budget is still quite high, and the remaining copper coins may not be enough.
"Selling Chestnut ......"
"Fresh fried chestnuts with sugar!"
Amid the ethereal shouts, the old woman selling chestnuts continued to push the cart along the dark and damp old street, all the way to the north.
Midnight, twelve o'clock.
Bell Bell Bell !!
There was a sound of gongs and drums ringing nearby, accompanied by the sound of bells tinkling, coming from nearby.
A convoy suddenly drove from the crowded road ahead.
The convoy had a population of about a dozen people, men, women and children, carrying a magnificent palanquin.
Several tall, burly and powerful men, barefoot on the ground, carrying bronze sedan chairs on their broad shoulders, slowly walked forward.
A faint aroma of rouge powder wafted faintly from the sedan chair.
Chen Ye's eyes moved, and he found that the thick Xuanhuang Qi was circulating above the convoy, but it was different from Miss Squirrel Fish. This Xuanhuang is not gathered, but spreads around, gathering the nobility of the Quartet, and the person who comes must have a good status.
The eyes of several big men in front of the convoy just fell on the grandmother who sold chestnuts......
Suddenly there was a sharp angry voice from the sedan chair:
"Don't look at indecent things!"
The big men hurriedly turned their eyes away from the old woman selling chestnuts and walked with their heads down.
The convoy took the initiative to avoid Chen Ye and the others and took a long detour......
When passing by them, Chen Ye clearly noticed that the coachman's body trembled slightly, and his face showed fear.
"Is it that scary?"
Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
He became more and more curious, what is the identity of the grandmother who sells chestnuts?
This convoy is not small, the owner of the car is noble, should have a lot of background, and they have to take the initiative to make way for the grandmother who sells chestnuts.
Meanwhile......
Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Midnight, sure enough, it's time for the city to really come alive. β
Many existences that could not be seen during the day have already appeared at this moment.
If you don't follow the old woman who sells chestnuts and the old man who follows the erhu, the middle of the night will be the most dangerous time, and you will have contact with the most tricks.
After passing through the convoy, there was no strange encounter along the way, except for the occasional few ordinary residents who looked numb, but nothing happened.
Just then, a vegetable market appeared in front of me.
The size of the market seemed to be huge, covering almost a large block.
From the entrance of the market, in the dark corridor, rows of stalls stretch into the depths, and there is no end in sight.
In the pitch-black vision, only a vague corridor and a few figures could be seen, but nothing could be seen inside.
"Young man, if you're coming to the market for the first time, you'd better look at the rules here."
The old woman who sold chestnuts said quietly.
At this time, Chen Ye turned his head and found that there was a sign placed next to the entrance of the market.
The words on it were bright red, like twisted and wriggling blood, and they were still clearly visible in the darknessβ
