Chapter 117 The old slave is coming!

The entire room fell silent almost instantly.

The woman had probably never met such a crazy person before, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Compared with Jian Yue, who seemed to have a non-normal brain, she seemed like a normal person!

She was so angry that she started to reason: "You just said that you can only eat animal cream to manage your body."

Jian Yue said seriously: "Yes, it's about body management. I'm asking you if this cake is made of animal cream, because I can't eat it!"

woman:"……"

She was so angry that her mouth and eyes were crooked.

But the cold and black fog around him slowly dissipated, and Jian Yue's tense mood also dissipated a little. He truly realized that in each copy world, if the conditions for being hunted by monsters are really triggered, there will actually be some warnings. These warnings are deadly poison to some people. The colder it is, the more afraid they are, and the more afraid they are, the tighter they are wrapped.

But for some people, it is a real red light sign, which allows people to judge the bottom line of ghosts at a very cold level.

The woman sneered and said, "I will advise the director to make a cake without cream. Don't worry, the crew treats everyone equally and will not let some people go without cake."

The last three words were spoken very tightly and firmly.

It was as if it was actually biting Jian Yue's neck.

Jian Yue followed up by asking, "So, you have all eaten it?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Jian Yue with some pride on her face: "Of course, it is a blessing for all of us to be able to eat such a blessed cake!"

Jian Yue asked: "What does it taste like? Is it delicious?"

The woman seemed to be lost in memories. She squinted her eyes slightly, as if immersed in a fantasy world. "Of course it's delicious. It has a wonderful taste, very sweet! It can give people a new life and make them forget all the pain!"

Jian Yue: “…”

He took note of it silently.

This can reduce the time he spends looking for the origin of the seeds. Some plants taste bitter when eaten, which has a lot to do with the environment and characteristics in which they grow. These descriptions of taste can save Jian Yue a lot of trouble.

But he had just read the entire book and didn't find any clues, which really made Jian Yue feel very embarrassed. Of course, he could keep reading, but that would be too inefficient, and what he lacked most now was time.

We have to think of another way.

Just thinking about it.

"It's a pity that I met someone like you who doesn't know how to appreciate delicious food!" The woman looked at him with some resentment: "You will definitely regret it."

Jian Yue asked: "Are these cakes made by the director himself?"

The woman sneered and said, "Why should I tell you!"

It's no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two people is tense. One is an NPC who wants to hunt, and the other is a player who wants to complete a dungeon mission. The two people are inherently like water and fire.

Most people would just feel frustrated in this situation.

The audience in the live broadcast room also said:

“Asking NPC questions is like talking to a cow, isn’t it?”

"That's right, how could they possibly say that!"

"It's impossible to provide clues to players for free!"

"Even if you are a good fool, if you refuse to eat the cake and she is unhappy, it is impossible for her to..."

The words were almost on his lips.

suddenly.

Everyone saw Jian Yue directly push the cake in front of him towards the woman and said, "Since it's so delicious, I'm allergic to animal butter recently anyway, it would be a waste if I don't eat this cake, I'll treat you to it!"

The woman was stunned. She looked at Jian Yue with some surprise. A light of desire flashed in her eyes for a moment, but she suppressed it forcefully. She said, "Really?"

Jian Yue reached out and took the cake back before her: "Tell me whether these cakes are made of cakes. If not, who made them."

The woman's hand missed, and she looked at Jian Yue with some resentment.

Jian Yue sat lazily on the table, poking the cake with his knife and fork, as if deliberately spreading the fragrance of the cake, and sighed slowly: "It looks like a really good and delicious cake, it smells so good, hey, who should I give it to... Forget it, I saw the security guard said he was a little hungry when he was outside just now. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is what I pursue, otherwise..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

The woman said excitedly: "It wasn't made by the director himself, it was made by the small kitchen in the cabin!"

Jian Yue looked at her.

The woman looked as if she was afraid that he wouldn't believe her and said, "Really? When I went to get the cake, a chef gave it to me. This is the director's own small kitchen, and they are all five-star chefs. How can ordinary people make such a delicious cake?"

Jian Yue asked, "Are they separated from the cooks in the cabin?"

"Of course." The woman pulled her hair up and said coquettishly, "If we were together, I would have asked the chef on the ship to cook for me a long time ago."

The system panel popped up the moment this sentence fell: "The progress of the main task [Secret of the Miracle Doctor] has increased to 6%"

Jian Yue understood that the key to finding out what the seeds were was actually in this small kitchen. If he couldn't find any clues in the library later, he might as well go to the small kitchen to check and maybe he would get a lot of results.

"This is for you." Jian Yue said, "You can have the cake."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cake on the table was snatched away by someone. The woman held the cake tightly in front of her with the look of a hungry tiger. She might even be a little excited. At first she could eat it slowly with a knife and fork, but towards the end she became more and more anxious as she ate, as if she had eaten some delicious food.

The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned:

"Depend on!"

"How can you use this trick if it's not a clue?"

“Bribe, bribe the NPC? What a niche track!”

“Hahahaha the most important thing is that he succeeded!”

The woman not only ate the cake, but also took it out to eat, as if she was afraid that Jian Yue would regret it.

After she left, Jian Yue bent down and picked up the book that she had knocked to the ground. It was a very thick herbal collection, which recorded many plants. It had a sheepskin cover, and the texture and material were very thick. Even the pages were a little yellowed, as if it had gone through countless years of baptism. Jian Yue used to be an administrator in the library.

This level of yellowing and material should be traced back to an old object from a hundred years ago.

He opened the book and flipped through a few pages. These records were all about herbs that grew in the mountains, rivers and streams. They didn't seem to be anything special. He read through them quickly. The most important thing for him to pay attention to was the seeds of these plants.

Turn the pages one by one.

No plants similar to the seeds in the cake were found.

But now a long time has passed and the light on the sea level has slowly dimmed. The setting sun not far away has dyed the entire sea surface red. The seagulls are flying very low, and night is coming.

The security guard not far away stood at the door at some point and said in a low and hoarse voice: "The library is about to close."

Jian Yue came back to his senses and said, "Okay."

This parchment book is different from other botanical books. It introduces each plant in great detail, and also has detailed descriptions of seeds. Jian Yue thinks it is very important, so he asked, "Excuse me, can I borrow this book to read?"

The security guard's cloudy eyes fell on the book. Under Jian Yue's expectant gaze, he slowly said, "No."

Jian Yue was stunned and asked, "Why?"

The security guard whispered, "This book is an old collection that Mr. Ji treasures very much. It is not available for loan."

Jian Yue thought to himself, no matter how old he is, he can’t be older than me. He has cherished me for hundreds of years, so what can a book do to me?

But it was estimated that the security would send him off the ship to see a psychiatrist after he said that. Jian Yue weighed the pros and cons again and again, and could only choose a more compromising and safe method. He slowly put down the book and said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow..."

He was about to close the book while talking.

Originally he hadn't even paid much attention to it, but because of the opportunity to talk at this moment, he used the dim light in the room to see clearly a small mark on the corner of the book.

Jian Yue pried open the book and took a closer look. Indeed, there were tiny sawtooth marks on the page, which meant that the page had been torn before!

How could an ordinary person tear up the books that the gentleman treasures?

But it proves from the side that this book may be important and contain what he is looking for!

Jian Yue turned to the second page of the torn page. On the page that was not torn, he could only see the last paragraph on the page: [Long-term consumption of this herb will cause the internal organs of a person to rot and die]

This short sentence made the readers' eyes widen.

What a poisonous herb.

What exactly did the person who tore it off want to do? Did he not want to be seen by others, or did he feel that he had found something that was needed for him?

Could it be the herb from the seed in my hand?

Countless doubts slowly rose up in his mind. Jian Yue wanted to investigate the book thoroughly. The security guard not far away asked persistently, "It's time to go! Are you leaving or not?"

Jian Yue came back to his senses and smiled at the security guard, "I'll leave now."

He slowly put down the book. This book was very important. It was the key to solving the main task and it could not fall into the hands of others. He had to find a way to get it.

Jane walked further out.

It was still dusk, and he returned to his room. A servant at the door said, "Sir, you are back. Emperor Ji asked me to tell you that there will be a dance on the deck tonight. He asked you to change your clothes and come over. He said he missed you very much and asked you to come over quickly."

Jian Yue: "Okay."

It's another dance party, Ji Huaisheng really has nothing to do all day!

There is no way he would really think too much about himself. He is probably having a quarrel with Xiaowen again and is hoping that I can go over and provoke Xiaowen. To be honest, this guy is really good at thinking up things. A working person who is tired after a day's work still has to play house with him!

Forget it, you can’t go against money!

Jian Yue comforted himself in his heart and changed into the clothes in the original owner's closet in the room. There were a wide variety of clothes here, with many styles and designs. Most of them were dark or light blue, and they all looked very valuable. He picked up one at random and put it on, tying his tie while walking to the dressing mirror.

A handsome and tall young man stood quietly in front of the mirror.

Jian Yue was lost in thought as he looked at himself in the mirror. The young man had a fair and pretty face, with thin and tall eyebrows, and a pair of thin and bright red lips. When he buttoned his coat one by one, he saw the small red mole on his collarbone, and then the pair of dark and deep eyes. This was a face that could be called beautiful.

I don't know why.

Jian Yue looked in the mirror and always felt that the random characters in this world looked very similar to his real appearance from certain angles.

He looked vaguely similar to him from Hope Island, and this copy is even more similar. His real appearance seems to be slowly getting closer to the copy. Why is that?

The phone in his pocket rang loudly, Jian Yue picked it up, and Ji Huaisheng on the other end of the phone said, "What are you dawdling about! It's almost dark! Why hasn't anyone come yet! Don't tell me you're quitting!"

Jian Yue's hearing was good to begin with, and the roar of the Hedong Lion at such a close distance almost made his ears reverberate. He said calmly: "Emperor Ji, if you roar so loudly again and make me deaf, I will really quit."

Ji Huaisheng said: "Come here quickly!"

Jian Yue hung up the phone. He didn't find Wang Wenwen last time, so he went to check on her while there were many people at the party.

He put on his clothes and walked outside. It was already dark on the ship. The corridors were full of ostentatious and beautiful lights. There was no sign of the fear that unknown monsters would crawl all over the ship after the lights were turned off.

The further Jane walked, the more she felt something was wrong.

He looked up at the swinging lights in the hallway.

Jian Yue paused. The humidity in the air was a little bit strange. He glanced sideways at the gloomy and dark sky not far away. A bad premonition slowly came over him.

“Things are going to change.”

He sighed softly.

There was still singing and dancing on the cruise ship.

When Jian Yue walked onto the deck, there were already many people singing and dancing. Some were gathered together to sing, some were gathered together to drink, and some were even gathered together to be intimate.

The strong smell of alcohol and the lights intertwined, creating a scene of decadence and extravagance.

Jian Yue spotted Ji Huaisheng not far away at a glance. There were quite a few people around Ji Huaisheng, but he was obviously absent-minded. He was looking around, and his attention was more on a thin young man in the corner. One could tell at a glance that the two of them had probably experienced some kind of love, hate and vengeance.

Ji Huaisheng walked straight towards Jian Yue and asked, "Why are you so late?"

Jian Yue said: "Reading in the library."

Ji Huaisheng mocked without hesitation: "You are a money-hungry, ignorant person, but you also read books. Don't be ridiculous, right?"

Jian Yue took a sip of wine without showing any weakness and said, "Not only can I read books, I can also put on some colorful hats for you."

The sea breeze was blowing, and Ji Huaisheng even suspected that he had heard it wrongly. He couldn't believe it and said, "What?!"

Jian Yue said: "You and your Bai Yueguang had a fight again?"

Ji Huaisheng got angry when he mentioned this. He quickly said, "I just found out that he had a boyfriend all these years when he was abroad. He started dating him within a few months of breaking up with me. Ha, it turns out that he didn't care about this relationship at all from the beginning to the end. Come on, join me in getting angry at him!"

Jian Yue took a look at the panel that unlocked the original plot here.

In the original novel, the protagonist, who was carrying a blood feud and did not want to implicate his lover, made up a story that he had a boyfriend abroad. This was misunderstood by the movie emperor, and the two almost broke up. But soon, a typhoon came without warning, and he was accidentally blown into the sea. The movie emperor sacrificed himself to save him, and the two were blown to a deserted island to share the hardships and resolve some of their ties.

After reading this paragraph, Jian Yue felt more at ease.

This farce of substitutes is finally coming to an end.

Just when Jian Yue was about to close the panel with confidence, he froze. Wait... typhoon?

The people on the deck seemed unaware of the impending danger and were still singing and dancing. Just as Jian Yue was about to take a step forward to call everyone back into the cabin, the entire deck seemed to move.

The wind blew across their faces, and everyone's steps became unsteady.

Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he heard someone shouting not far away: "The wind is blowing! There's a typhoon, a tsunami..."

The people on the deck were frightened and stopped what they were doing. When they turned around, they could only see a huge wave several meters high next to the ship deck. They didn't know when it had risen so high. In front of such a huge wave, humans seemed so small, and everyone subconsciously wanted to escape.

But the waves have already hit us mercilessly.

The huge waves were like an invisible, powerful net that fell straight down and caught all the prey in the net.

The entire bustling deck turned into a mess at this moment. Countless people who didn't have time to run fell down, and some were almost swept into the sea by the waves.

"ah!"

In a corner not far away, someone shouted in fear.

Everyone looked over and saw that there was someone still hanging on the edge of the deck and about to fall off. There were raging waves below and it would be very dangerous if he fell off.

It was too dark, and it was hard to see who was about to fall.

But the person next to Jian Yue rushed out directly: "Xiao Wen!"

Ji Huaisheng ran out without thinking. Everyone ran inside the deck, but Ji Huaisheng ran outside, towards the edge of the deck. Because of the typhoon, the entire deck was almost unstable.

Jian Yue himself was blown to the ground.

This body is too weak. It is so fragile that it cannot withstand even the slightest wind.

Fortunately, there was a sofa nearby to block him, otherwise he might have hit his head on the corner of the table and got a bloody mess. Jian Yue climbed up with some difficulty, his whole body aching and he almost passed out. He glanced at the main characters who had finally entered the main storyline not far away, and was sighing that the life of the supporting characters was also a life, and they were still unconscious.

“Help!”

A subtle sound attracted Jian Yue's attention.

He was actually very close to the door of the deck, and the next wave had not yet hit him. If he ran, he would have time, but he saw a man lying on the ground not far away, his legs pinned by a table.

“Someone can save me!”

He said with some panic.

Jian Yue narrowed his eyes, and in the rain, he finally recognized that this man was Ji Huaiyu's assistant, whom he had seen this morning when he came to see him off from Xiaoyu's room.

“Boom!”

A clear flash of lightning flashed across the sky.

The entire deck was hit by wind and rain, and the heavy rain almost blurred everyone's figure. The deck was drifting with wind and rain, and the black clouds not far away were like a man-eating beast that finally showed its fangs. Under the sweeping storm, the waves were getting higher and higher. Not far from the man, there was a very tall and dangerous wine rack.

Just as another gust of wind blew.

The shelf began to shake. If the originally tall and heavy shelf fell down, it might hit the man exactly. If the force and angle were just right, it might be fatal.

Typhoons and tsunamis wreaked havoc.

No one dared to take risks at this time. Everyone was thinking about escaping. Holding on to their own lives was the most important thing. The man who stayed in the heavy rain and on the deck seemed to be full of despair. He glanced at the shelf, closed his eyes in despair, and seemed to be waiting for his fate.

"Bang!"

Another wave hit.

The heavy shelf fell to the ground, and someone pulled him out in the drizzling rain. Both of them lay on the edge of the cabinet, panting. The heavy sound of the collapse was still in their ears, the sound of death passing by their shoulders.

The assistant's legs were bleeding a lot. After being rescued, he used his last bit of strength to express his gratitude: "Thank you..."

Jian Yue said: "You're welcome."

He just couldn't stand by and watch someone die in front of him.

When the storm died down, Jian Yue brought the person back, and the audience in the live broadcast room became excited:

"Ahhh, he used 50,000 points to buy the teleportation item!"

"Anchor, are you... worthy?"

"Don't waste points in the dungeon!!"

"That's right. I really don't know what's the point of saving an NPC. Why would you be so kind? Will they help you?"

Many people are very disdainful.

When Jian Yue and his group returned to the cabin, the scene was in chaos. Some were blaming each other, some were crying loudly, and there were even people who were frightened and spread panic, saying that something might happen to the ship.

Until a steady and powerful voice emerged from the panicked crowd: "What's going on?"

The crowd was almost silent instantly. When they finally turned around, they saw a tall figure slowly coming down the stairs. Ji Huaiyu's face was stern, and he swept his eyes over the crowd: "It's just a normal typhoon at sea. You are so scared and panicked. I will send someone to take you back when the typhoon stops."

No one dared to speak.

Those who can get on the boat have put in a lot of effort, how could they leave?

Ji Huaiyu was accompanied by the earnest captain, who calmly analyzed: "Check every part of the cabin, count the number of people on board, and contact the doctors to come and treat the injured."

The captain agreed to all the requests.

With this person, everyone seems to have a backbone. Some people seem to be born leaders. When he stands there, even if he doesn't do anything, he is convincing and everyone's eyes will be on him.

The captain said, "Mr. Ji, your assistant is also injured, and it's on his leg. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. I don't think this injury will heal in a short time. You have a lot of work to do and you can't be distracted. You need someone to take care of you. How about I find you an experienced person..."

Was just saying that.

The assistant who was lying there said hurriedly, "The master doesn't like outsiders around him."

The captain said, "But Mr. Ji is very busy, and now is a special period, so someone has to take over temporarily."

Ji Huaiyu frowned and was about to say no, let’s just leave it like this for now.

The assistant, however, looked at the savior beside him. Jian Yue had been staring at Ji Huaiyu since the moment he appeared. He could never get enough of looking at his own treasure. He felt a burning gaze and looked at the assistant with some confusion.

The assistant gave him a firm look.

benefactor!

Don’t worry, it’s not in vain to rescue me, I guarantee it!

As Jian Yue looked at him in confusion, the assistant said loudly, "Sir, let him take care of you for the next few days before the new special assistant arrives. I heard that he is Butler Wang. It is obvious that he has received butler training and is a professional. Moreover, he is close to Mr. Ji, so he is not an outsider!"

Jian Yue was stunned by this sudden recommendation.

He was still thinking about the parchment book during the day, wanting to get close to the young master so he could use the back door. Oh no, he wanted to seriously investigate the mission. He didn't expect that the opportunity would come at night!

Not far away.

Ji Huaisheng's eyes fell on him, and his handsome and wise eyes raised slightly and asked: "You?"

This person held his hand tightly after falling asleep and started crying when it was pulled. Could he be trained?

result.

After their eyes met, Jian Yue straightened his chest and said, "Yes, I am indeed a professional, and I can't be more professional! Otherwise, you can ask the assistant director, otherwise he won't let me join the group!"

Assistant Director: “…”

He was too lazy to say anything.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ji Huaisheng couldn't refuse too much. After all, he was his nephew's man. Did he want him to turn against him completely?

Ji Huaisheng opened his mouth and said, “Then let’s give it a try.”

He wondered how professional he could be, but before he could finish his thought, someone not far away suddenly had his eyes light up and ran towards him, saying enthusiastically, "Master, here comes the old slave!"

“…”
