Chapter XXIII Advancement of the Mission
Chen Mo couldn't laugh anymore.
He had never participated in any birthday banquets in his previous life, and the old people in the family did birthday celebrations, that is, set up a few tables of banquets, and where did his family give congratulatory gifts.
As for birthdays between family and friends, it's simpler, go to eat and cut a cake if you can't catch up, and send a red envelope if you can't catch up.
I don't know if Li Daoyang has Alipay or WeChat?
Chen Mo twitched his mouth in his heart, and he didn't have the consciousness of following the customs of the locals, how could he participate in the birthday banquet without a congratulatory gift.
Immediately, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the pile of gifts in the southeast corner not far away, and his heart suddenly twitched.
The things that the Chen family sent with a hemorrhage before had already made the Zhen family happy.
It's a fart compared to the pile of luxurious gifts at the city lord's birthday banquet.
If he really wants to prepare such a birthday gift, he Zhenjiazhuang will also ...... I can't afford to prepare.
Alas, this is the sorrow of the poor.
Chen Mo shook his head.
But right now, is it to say that he didn't prepare a congratulatory gift?
That's not going to work.
What? You came to the city lord's birthday banquet without a congratulatory gift? Then what are you always here for?
If this is said, he will not have to mix up in this Qingling Mountain in the future.
Chen Mo was silent for a moment.
This scene also fell into the eyes of one of the guests present.
Some frowned, some looked interested, and many began to gloat.
They could naturally see that Liu Xiong was making things difficult for Chen Mo.
Since he said so, if the congratulatory gift Chen Mo took out was not enough, it would be a shame.
And Chen Mo's silence was also a manifestation of Chen Mo being stumped in their eyes.
The Zhen family also knows that it was originally just a small family, and it was even in debt, so how could they afford to prepare any generous gifts.
At this moment, most of the gifts are too light to handle.
Of course, they couldn't imagine that Chen Mo didn't prepare a congratulatory gift at all.
City Lord Li Daoyang watched this scene silently, touching his beard and not speaking.
It's not that he also wants to make things difficult for Chen Mo, after all, he is the lord of a city, and he will not deliberately embarrass anyone at his birthday banquet, after all, he is not the opponent.
But he, the ancestor of the Zhen family who broke through the Niu Fork Realm at the age of 100, was indeed a little curious, wanting to see how he would deal with it.
After all, the boundary of Qingling Mountain is so big, and there is one more powerhouse in the Niucha Realm, so you can't really lose face, and leave a line for doing things to see each other in the future, if Chen Mo really can't end it, Li Daoyang is still ready to help end it.
Li Feixue next to him also looked at Chen Mo with interest, this hundred-year-old grandfather looked very interesting, but he didn't expect to be embarrassed by others.
With her position, although her cultivation is not as high as these Ox Fork Realm Ancestors, her vision is already extraordinary, and the contradictions between these so-called "seniors" are just an interesting thing in her opinion.
Compared with Zhen Shu, she was more interested in the swarthy young man beside Zhen Shu, although he had cultivated to the Nine Heavens, there seemed to be something hidden in his breath, and even Li Feixue could not see through it.
For Chen Mo, although the Zhen family can't prepare any congratulatory gifts, it is not a big problem for him.
After all, just the elixirs issued by the system novice gift package, each of them is priceless, and taking out any of them can alarm many people.
The problem is that those pills are really too valuable, whether it is a rebirth pill that can be reborn and enhance talent, or a miracle medicine healing pill that can almost give one more life, taking it out will make many people blush, and it is not a good thing.
Of course, the biggest reason is that Chen Mo is reluctant to take it out.
The newbie gift package, one hundred pills of each type, seems to be a lot, but there are so many people in his Zhenjiazhuang, the magic medicine of ramming the explosion pill and the healing pill is the capital to save life, with one less one, I don't know when there will be a task to reward these pills next time.
The importance of the detoxification and beauty pill to Chen Mo is not so great, but this is Li Daoyang's birthday, not his wife's birthday.
Of course, Chen Mo can't really get these pills, and they have to be sold in the system mall, but the price is so expensive that Chen Mo has a toothache when he sees it.
System Mall...... By the way, there's also the system mall.
Chen Mo patted his head, how could he forget the mall.
Although it costs grandpa experience points to buy things, he still has a task this time, and he must have experience in completing the task.
Sure enough, the sound of the system sounded at the right time.
"Side quest chain, participate in the city lord's birthday banquet, complete the first part, and reward the old man with 100 experience points. ”
"Quest advancement: Deal with the difficulty, and slap the troublemaker in the face, the harder the face, the higher the reward. ”
Chen Mo was happy at once, the task of the system was too appetizing for him.
So Chen Mo rolled his eyes and asked: "Where is it, Brother Liu is laughing, our Zhen family's small family and small business, where can we compare to your Liu Jiazhuang's wealth? Compared with the old man's birthday gift, the old man wants to know more, what kind of generous gift has Brother Liu prepared?"
Liu Xiong is seven or eight years younger than Chen Mo, so Chen Mo unceremoniously called him brother, Liu Xiong's face darkened, and then he snorted a little complacently: "Don't dare to be generous, we are all ancestors of the family, and there is no need to talk about vulgar things such as spirit stones." My Liu family has a treasure, which is a three-trick golden stone, which will be given to the city lord as a birthday gift to express his heart. ”
"Three-trick goldenrod?"
Many of the guests were later than Liu Xiong, and those who were not present when they reported the gift list before, were suddenly surprised.
This gold-veined stone is not a particularly rare treasure, it is a kind of pebble-shaped ore, with gold veins on it, and there are holes, which are often found in the spirit stone veins.
It is worn on the body, and through the acupuncture points on it, it can increase the sensitivity to the aura, thereby speeding up the absorption of the aura, and increasing the speed of cultivation, which is used by many monks.
The most common gemstone with only one acupuncture is indeed not very precious, but each time the acupuncture hole on it is added, the effect is greatly increased, and the preciousness is doubled.
Three-trick gold-veined stone, ordinary people wear it, it can increase the effect of absorbing aura by three times, in this Qingling Mountain area, it is already a very rare treasure, Liu Xiong is also quite complacent, this can be regarded as a big deal.
However, Chen Mo touched his long beard and laughed.
"Oh?" Chen Mo smiled meaningfully: "Such a coincidence? What the old man planned to give to the city lord was also a piece of gold-veined stone." ”
Liu Xiong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It's also a golden stone?"
He paused for a moment: "Could it be that Brother Zhen also has a three-trick golden stone?"
