Chapter 26: Butler Wang, I think you still have your charm

Meeting Scar Brother's gaze, Jian Yue's expression was quite interesting. His expression changed over and over again, and he finally took out the key in his hand and said, "Here are the keys."

Scar brother snatched it with one hand: "Here you go!"

At the same time.

As the card was taken away, Jian Yue heard the system's voice: "The task item [Archive Key] has been changed to a new binding object."

When the words fell.

A genuine smile appeared on Jian Yue's face. He found Scarface much more pleasing to the eye: "Now that I have given you the keys, I wish you all have fun inside. I'm leaving first."

Scarface was a little confused when he saw his smile.

Think about whether there is any fraud.

Then I thought, he is an old man, why should he be afraid of a newcomer? !

So Scarface waved his hands and said, "Get out of here, get out of here!"

As the key was in hand, the other players gathered around and flattered Scarface, saying, "Brother Dao, you are really awesome!"

"Yes, yes, I finally got it."

"Brother Dao is awesome!"

"I bow down to you, my little brother!"

Jian Yue glanced back, and without arguing with them any further, he turned around and left.

It was already evening when he returned to the house, so Jian Yue went to the house first to report to Shen Yushu and tell him the results of his investigation in the archives. Although the things in the file bag might not belong to Ji Feng at all, some of the recorded data in it still had to be given to Shen Yushu.

Shen Yushu had just returned from the backyard. He looked at Jian Yue who was talking to him in the corridor and didn't say anything for a long time.

Jian Yue, who had just returned from outside, was exposed to the sun for a while, and her face was slightly flushed. Her eyes were moist and bright, and her mouth opened and closed when she spoke, looking particularly soft.

Shen Yushu suddenly looked a little absent-minded.

After Jian Yue finished his report, he looked at him with some confusion: "Master?"

Shen Yushu suddenly came back to his senses. The noble and cold CEO was a little embarrassed. He said, "The weather is so hot. Don't run outside in the middle of the day. You're sweating all over. What a shame."

Jian Yue thought that he was a bit of an eyesore to the village, but in fact, he was not hot, but ran down the stairs when the ghost girl chased him, and he did not have time to clean up when he came back.

Afraid of affecting the character's health and having it deducted.

Jian Yue quickly began to deceive, "This old servant was also anxious for a moment. After all, the young master has been worried about the old lady's condition these days. This old servant is worried about it in his heart."

Shen Yushu felt a little softer in his heart. Butler Wang really cared about him.

His father passed away when he was young, and his mother actually loved his younger brother more. No matter how well he did, his mother didn't care about him. Later, his younger brother died early, and his mother became even more taciturn.

Shen Yushu learned to be independent since he was young. After years of fighting in wind and rain, he finally made a name for himself in the world. In fact, there were people around him who showed kindness to him, but they always had many purposes. Only Butler Wang was so purely kind to him!

Eyes met.

Shen Yushu raised his knife-like chin, snorted and said, "I'm not the only one who's anxious. I don't support the archaeological team just for free!"

Jian Yue thought that Scarface and the others might be playing a battle royale game with the female ghost in the secret room, and smiled: "Master is wise."

He was just about to say that he would go wash up and come back later.

Shen Yushu waved at him and said, "Forget it, come here."

Jian Yue followed the CEO into the study. The room was very cool. He didn't know why, but the summer in Wanfu Village was not hot at all. Shen Yushu took a clean towel from the shelf and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe it off."

Jian Yue originally wanted to take the towel and wipe his sweat himself.

Unexpectedly, when he approached, Shen Yushu directly put the towel on his forehead and wiped the sweat off his face.

The afternoon sun poured in from the window, accompanied by a gentle breeze. Jian Yue was a little surprised. He wanted to say that as a housekeeper, it was unreasonable for him to ask his boss to wipe his sweat, but when he met Shen Yushu's serious eyes, he was speechless. He simply stood in front of him and let him wipe his sweat.

After Shen Yushu finished wiping, he said, "Go over there and drink some soup."

Jian Yue then remembered that in the morning when he asked Aunt Zhang to make some nourishing soup for Shen Yushu, Shen Yushu casually told him to drink some too, and he thought she was just being polite.

The audience in the live broadcast room reacted even more:

"Butler Wang, you are so lucky!"

"To be an employee, you have to be as good as Butler Wang."

"Fuck, President, I don't recognize you!"

"Who would have thought that a dog licker would have everything in the end!"

Jian Yue didn't know that the audience in the live broadcast room reacted more violently than he did. He was more concerned about reporting the archives to Shen Yushu. However, he didn't expect that Shen Yushu would directly take a document from the table and give it to him: "Read it yourself."

The folder is sealed.

Jian Yue could feel the weight in his hand when he took it. After he unsealed the sealed bag, the first thing that caught his eye was a row of very clear words:

[Information of members of the 2017 Seattle archaeological team]

I didn’t expect the CEO to find out so quickly! !

Jian Yue immediately took out the information, and the first page contained the information of the person he was most interested in, Ji Feng.

Ji Feng is from City B. He has been very interested in religion and mysticism since he was a child. At the age of 20, Ji Feng was admitted to university. He had many quarrels with his classmates over academic experimental results. At the age of 22, the school formed the first archaeological team to conduct a geological survey of Wanfu Village. The captain of the archaeological team, Shen Yue, was Ji Feng's girlfriend. Ji Feng was not on the list before departure, but was added temporarily later.

Ji Feng had a younger sister named Ji Ting, who died many years ago. His sister was once convinced that her brother was not dead. In order to find her brother, Ji Ting came to Wanfu Village in person with an archaeological team in 1993, but no news was found.

Jian Yue frowned slightly when he saw this.

Ji Feng's sister has also been to Wanfu Village? !

Is she still alive?

Who is the female ghost who has been chasing me and trying to find Ji Feng?

Shen Yushu reminded him: "Look back."

Jian Yue immediately turned the page and looked to the back. Sure enough, the second page had Shen Yue's name written on it, the captain of the Xiya archaeological team. There was also a photo of a girl with pigtails wearing a white shirt and smiling. She looked very pure and simple.

Shen Yue, a native of City B, is the only daughter in the family. She has excellent grades and beautiful appearance since childhood. At the age of 19, Shen Yue was admitted to university, where she met Ji Feng and had a romantic relationship with him. Although the two had some very similar ideals and concepts in school, they often quarreled because of different opinions, and they were still in a cold war before going to Wanfu Village.

Are these two people arguing?

So what happened next?

Everything seemed to revolve around Ji Feng, and all the mysteries lay with him.

Jian Yue looked at Ji Feng's diary which was still on the table. He picked it up and flipped through it again, then hesitantly asked, "Master, do you think the second half of Ji Feng's diary is still in the village but has been hidden?"

Shen Yushu asked: "If so, where do you think it would be?"

Jian Yue frowned slightly and said honestly: "I don't know."

Just when Shen Yushu was about to end the topic.

"But I'm the village party secretary now, young master." Jian Yue cheered up almost immediately: "After I get to know the villagers well during this period of time, I will go and investigate and find the rest!"

Shen Yushu looked at Jian Yue so happy, and unconsciously felt relieved. He said, "You don't have to be too anxious. Mother's condition has improved in the past two days. You have worked hard during this period. You can take a proper rest."

Jian Yue immediately said, "How can this be possible? As long as this matter is not resolved, you will not be able to rest in peace, and how can this old servant sleep peacefully!"

The most important thing is that the longer he delayed, the worse he felt.

When he met some members of the archaeological team today, he felt that they had a strong smell, which gave him a bad feeling.

Shen Yushu said: "It's no use for you to worry about these things. There will be activities in the village tonight, so just follow me and have some fun."

Jian Yue said: "Yes, Master, but before you go, I have something to say."

Shen Yushu raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"As the village party secretary, I need to be closer to people's livelihood. I compiled some questionnaires on people's livelihood last night." Jian Yue took it out from his pocket and said, "Master, do you want to make one?"

Shen Yushu: "...get out."

Jian Yue: “Okay!”

After having lunch at the house at noon, Jian Yue went to the village center to clock in. He remembered what the village chief said, that as the village party secretary, he had to go to the shabby meeting room at the entrance of the village to sign in every day. It's true that the lower the official, the more rules there are.

He originally thought that he would be the only one going to that place.

Unexpectedly, the village chief was also there. He was reading a book in the house, looking very cultured.

Jian Yue greeted him skillfully: "Village Chief, I'm reading a book. I didn't make lanterns today. Are you busy?"

"Yes." The village chief nodded. The old man looked at Jian Yue meaningfully and spoke in a sharp voice that sounded a bit harsh: "I heard from the carpenter that you promoted a new policy to benefit the people yesterday?"

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Yes, what's the matter, Village Chief, are you also fascinated by my new policy?"

The village chief's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "Everyone in the village is used to this kind of life. I'm afraid it's not good to change it suddenly."

"That makes sense." Jian Yue nodded.

The village chief was delighted: "So..."

Jian Yue excitedly held his hand and said, "So what you mean by this, Village Chief, is that since everyone is used to it, it's hard to change, and as the head of the village, you should set an example?"

The village chief's smile froze, and he said, "I'm afraid I can't."

Jian Yue sighed: "I can understand that."

The village chief thought he could finally speak like a human being.

"You are old and don't sleep much." Jian Yue said, "That's great. If you can't sleep at night, you can patrol the village. If you see any villagers staying up late again, you should persuade them."

The village chief could no longer endure it and finally slammed the table loudly: "Butler Wang!"

Jian Yue was originally writing something in a booklet. When he heard the noise, he looked over, his fair face full of innocence: "What's wrong, Village Chief?"

Eyes met.

He pushed up his glasses, his dark eyes showing a clear smile, and said slowly, "Are you dissatisfied with the policies that the village party secretary has introduced to benefit the people?"

village head:"……"

The audience in the live broadcast room was amused when they saw this scene:

"He doesn't dare."

"This old man has finally come to this day."

"He relied on his status to kill many players in the past."

"This village party secretary is awesome!!"

Just as players are not allowed to do things that go against their characters' roles, villagers also need to abide by the rules of the dungeon world. Behavior within these rules is reasonable, but it cannot exceed the rules.

Players are also bound by rules, but rules are not necessarily all bad. As long as they are used properly, they can have unexpected results. Similarly, players can use rules, and of course NPCs can too.

The village chief narrowed his eyes and said, "Now that Steward Wang has been elected as the village party secretary, he should do something practical."

Jian Yue stopped writing and asked curiously, "What?"

The village chief said directly: "The two girls from Old Liu's family in the east of the village are always quarreling. Go and mediate for me. The village has a festival tonight, and we can't let these two crazy girls mess it up."

However, he had just finished speaking.

Jian Yue's system panel is updated:

Limited time task: [If you don’t want to be a good matchmaker, you are not a good village party secretary]

Mission details: Please find a good home for the single men and women in the village.

Mission Reward: Unknown? ?

Mission time limit: 4 hours!

Jian Yue was stunned. This was the first time that the task reward given by the system was unknown, and it was also a time-limited task, which might be triggered randomly. But after so long, he understood that every reward given by the system must have its purpose.

The village chief was still waiting for Jian Yue's answer. He looked at Jian Yue, expecting that after he refused, he could propose to abolish his position as the village party secretary.

But I didn't expect that——

Jian Yue stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "It is my duty to build a harmonious community. I will go there now. By the way, village chief, this is a questionnaire I recently conducted. Please fill it out. The specific number of acres of land and number of people in your family are required. If you have any questions, please ask me. I'm leaving now!"

village head:"……"

After Jian Yue left, the village chief was so angry that he threw the paper to the ground!

As a result, Jian Yue, who had just walked downstairs, looked up at the window and smiled, waving his hand and said, "Village Chief, you must fill it out and actively cooperate with the work of the township!"

The village chief's mouth twitched, but he endured it and picked it up again.

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing:

"Village chief, he who knows the current situation is a hero!"

"The old man has built up the village at his old age."

"Didn't the fortune teller tell him that there was this obstacle in his life?"

"Hahahahaha that's enough!"

Jian Yue walked to the east end of the village as instructed by the village chief. At this moment, the countdown for his mission had passed more than half an hour, with only more than three hours left.

He finally found Old Liu's house with great difficulty.

Jian Yue was standing at the door. Before she knocked, she saw two girls with ponytails arguing about something in the yard. They were wearing small floral clothes and looked very beautiful.

One of the girls in red said, "Brother Daniu obviously likes me, stop dreaming!"

The girl in green clothes did not show any weakness: "You are dreaming. Yesterday when he passed by the fence, he talked to me. He obviously likes me!"

The two girls broke down as they talked.

The girl in red said, "Okay, then let's find someone to judge for us!"

The girl in green clothes snorted and said, "Humph! Let's judge for justice. Do you think I'm afraid?"

As if they had eyes on their backs, the two men looked at Jian Yue who was standing at the fence and said, "Secretary Wang, who do you think Brother Daniu likes between the two of us?"

The two people who turned around looked almost exactly the same. If it weren't for their different clothes, it would be impossible to tell the two people apart.

Jian Yue said: "You two..."

The girl in red asked, "Secretary Wang, who do you think is prettier, me or her?"

The girl in green clothes said, "Secretary Wang! I must be more beautiful, right?"

The eyes of the two people were as dark as bottomless black glass beads in the evening light. When they stared at me intently, I felt an oppressive feeling as if I was being tightly locked by a predator.

The mountain breeze blew in, bringing a little coolness.

This is definitely a fatal question. If you answer it wrong, there will be irreversible consequences.

The girl in red smiled, her teeth pointed, her eyes spitting poison: "Secretary Wang, tell me, who is prettier, me or her?"

The system panel is still counting down [two hours and forty minutes]

Like a silent urging.

Eyes met.

In this deathly silence, Jian Yue took a deep breath: "I can't answer you!"

The girl in green narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Why?"

The chillness gradually spread around, as if an invisible mist surrounded people. This was a sign of the villagers' growing hatred. Even for the village party secretary, once he lost the support of the people, the consequences would be serious.

However, Jian Yue's words were powerful: "Because I am face-blind!!"

The two sisters: “…”

The mountain wind blew in from all directions, and the silence was eerie.

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed and pounded on the ground:

"Damn, why didn't I think of this answer back then?"

"I have also triggered this task."

"Whichever of these two sisters you answer, they will hold a grudge against you."

"When they kill people, they like to keep asking you who is prettier. If you answer wrong, they will chop you with a knife!"

The two sisters probably had never encountered such a situation before, and they were stunned for a moment.

The sticky, damp and cold feeling also disappeared.

Jian Yue sighed. He glanced at the countdown panel. He had not yet forgotten what his mission was. He walked over and said, "You two, do you both like that Tie Niu brother?"

The red-dressed girl twitched her lips and said, "It's Brother Daniel."

"...Sorry." Jian Yue coughed lightly: "Does that brother Daniu have any brothers or relatives?"

The girl in green said, "No! We only like him!"

Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "What is it about Brother Daniu that attracts you?"

The girl in red said first: "He is very good at hoeing the land!"

The girl in green said, "Brother Daniu is very strong! He can beat ten of them by himself!"

Jian Yue tried to imagine what Brother Daniu looked like in his mind for a long time, but failed. He coughed lightly and said, "Is there no one else in the village who can hoe the land and is very strong?"

The girl in red and the girl in green said at the same time: "No one can compare to Brother Danniu!!"

The girl in green clothes said angrily, "It's all your fault. You insisted on snatching Brother Daniu from me! If it weren't for you, he would have married me a long time ago!"

The girl in red was not to be outdone: "I haven't even said anything about you, you little bitch... He must have stayed married for so many years just to wait for me! If you hadn't stopped us, we would have gotten married a long time ago!"

The two were talking and were about to start a fight again, and Jian Yue couldn't calm down no matter what he did.

The task countdown continued. After all this chaos, more than an hour had passed. The system panel showed that the countdown color had turned red [50 minutes]

Just when Jian Yue was at a loss.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared not far away, holding a hoe. He was very strong and his body was tanned, but too dark that his facial features could hardly be seen clearly.

As soon as he appeared.

The two girls became quiet. The girl in red and the girl in green stopped to adjust their clothes at the same time, then shouted enthusiastically: "Brother Danniu!!"

Wang Daniu paused, walked over and smiled, showing his white teeth: "Girls, you guys are also basking in the sun in the yard today."

Jian Yue looked up. It was already dusk and there was no sun at all.

The girls in red and green clothes all looked a little shy: "Yeah, Brother Niu, who do you think has a better suntan today?"

Wang Daniu obviously hesitated.

Jian Yue saw that the two sisters were about to quarrel again. They were arguing back and forth. Just when they were arguing, they looked at Jian Yue again and shouted, "Secretary Wang, who do you think is more suitable to marry Brother Daniu?!"

Two identical faces that would be completely indistinguishable if it weren't for the clothes.

Jian Yue said: "I am face blind."

"No need to look at faces!" the two girls said, "You can just arrange marriages for us yourself. You are the Party Secretary, so your words will definitely count!"

Jian Yue: “…”

It’s over, this high-end game.

The audience in the live broadcast room also laughed:

“I didn’t get away with it.”

"I said these two girls would never let the players go easily."

"If you don't give a good answer, they will really hunt you down every day."

"The anchor can't hide this time."

"He was one of the people who got chopped off, and he didn't even have any props to defend himself."

"Is my source of happiness going to disappear?"

"No way, even the guide can't give a solution here."

“I didn’t expect the anchor to fall so quickly!”

Amid the discussion among the crowd.

The two girls stared at Jian Yue intently, their dark eyes emitting a cold light, as if they were particularly expecting his answer. That look was like staring at prey.

The girl in red said, "Speak up, Secretary Wang, why don't you answer us?"

The girl in green also licked her lips, her teeth gnashing: "Can't you choose?"

As long as Jian Yue gave any answer, it would satisfy their hatred value conditions. A sinister smile appeared on their cheeks, and they smiled sweetly.

Just as Jian Yue was about to speak——

A golden card in front of Jian Yue was triggered and took effect. It flew through the air and a line of words appeared:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: The latest gossip, Wang Daniu from the west side of the village has not married for so many years, in fact, it is because he likes men! ]

[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]

No matter how strong Jian Yue's mental qualities were, he was still stunned after seeing this gossip.

Not only was he stunned, even the two sisters in red and green clothes standing opposite him seemed to be dumbfounded at the same time.

Jian Yue glanced at them quietly and said with emotion: "No wonder Wang Daniu was unmoved by these two girls who are so beautiful. What is there to fight for? It's not the people who are wrong, it's the genders that are wrong!!"

His thought fell.

The two little girls' mouths twisted.

Jian Yue couldn't help but look at Wang Daniu, who was wearing coarse cloth next to him. This strong but seemingly slow and honest farm man, sighed in his heart: "You really can't judge a person by his appearance. In this village where there is no electricity, he can figure out his sexual orientation. He is also a remarkable person. He has not married for so many years. Could it be that he hasn't met a man he likes?"

The system panel displays: [Task countdown 20 minutes]

Jian Yue wanted to curse. What a lousy person. He was asked to be a matchmaker to connect people in the village. How could he be a matchmaker when his sexual orientation was not right? The system was not playing tricks on him, was it?

In this damn silence.

After complaining, Jian Yue was almost a little desperate. He looked at Wang Daniu and said, "Brother Daniu, I'm sorry to have made you stand here for so long. I guess... there's nothing else to do here. You should go back first. By the way, there will be a celebration party in the village tonight. Remember to go."

He still remembers the task assigned by the village chief!

This is a dedicated worker who never forgets his job no matter when or where!

After saying this, Jian Yue no longer had any hope for this task. The two girls in red and green clothes seemed to be quite shocked, and they didn't chase him to ask who they should choose.

Jian Yue looked at the two girls hesitantly: "Well, you two still need..."

The two little girls said without even turning their heads: “No need!!”

Jian Yue didn't expect that the task assigned by the village chief would be completed so easily. He even did not forget to distribute the questionnaire before leaving: "Okay, then you two should not forget to give the village party secretary a good review of his work!"

The two little girls' faces were a little distorted.

Who would have thought——

I haven't even taken two steps yet.

Someone caught up with him from behind, and Wang Daniu said, "Hey...wait a minute, Secretary Wang!"

The tall, dark-skinned man came up to him, took out a blade of grass from somewhere, handed it to him and said, "This is for you."

Jian Yue looked at the strange grass in his hand and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This is the rule of our Flower Festival. We give flowers to whoever we like." Wang Daniu explained with full energy while carrying a hoe: "This is for you!"

Jian Yue: “…”

Jian Yue: “…”

He stood there, scratched his head, and took a long time to calm down, even suspecting that he was hallucinating.

Finally, Jian Yue still couldn't believe it and said, "You, comrade, what are you doing? Although I am the village secretary Wang, I am also the housekeeper of the Shen family. I can't farm, I can't hoe the land quickly, and I can't fight. I'm not good at anything!"

"Ah, I know that." Wang Daniu looked at Jian Yue cheerfully, showing his white teeth. He might be a little shy, but because his face was too dark, he couldn't tell the color. He thought of all the words in his life and finally said, "But, Butler Wang, I think you still have your charm!"

Jian Yue: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room almost laughed like crazy when they saw this scene:

"Ahahahahaha I'm pounding the floor in the hall."

"System: Isn't this mission completed?"

"Butler Wang, you have also become a ghost fan in the horror dungeon."

"In Butler Wang's live broadcast room, you can see everything except ghosts."

"Go back upstairs, even ghosts can see it."

“I remember that Mr. Shen was going to the Flower Shadow Festival with Butler Wang, right?”

"Hahahaha!! I can't wait to see Mr. Shen's expression!"
