...46. Artist Dad 13
(Send us the bracelet code. We'll use it to destroy your previous record of ownership, and you'll be able to buy a new one tomorrow. However, don't throw away your old one; it's recycled.)
The little fan looked at the message and his face turned a little unhappy. He took a long time to edit a message and send it.
(Code: YJHJ1001. Um, the leaves, do we have to recycle the old ones too?)
Cheng Ye read the message and said, "Dad, is there a refund for recycling the discarded bracelets?" The little fan was reluctant to return the old bracelets, simply because he didn't want to suffer a loss. Everyone has this kind of mentality, it's normal.
Cheng Jiu put the paint away and said calmly, "Yes, the partner will be responsible for compensation in this regard, and will return 80% of the price of the bracelet raw materials. ... Now the bracelet recycling service hall and recycling service machines are not ready yet. Let your little fans keep them first and return them when the time comes." The collected bracelets will be put into reproduction, otherwise no matter how many raw materials there are, they will not be enough for them to use.
Cheng Ye nodded in understanding and then sent a message to his fans.
This time the little fan didn't answer, and Cheng Ye didn't care.
The little fan didn't reply to the message until they were having dinner.
Cheng Ye put the phone in front of his father and said, "Dad, what will happen if the little fan says he won't return the bracelet?"
Cheng Jiu used his chopsticks to knock away his son's hand as he reached for the super spicy chicken pot again. He'd almost eaten the whole pot, and even the best stomach couldn't handle the tossing. The last time I had diarrhea, I was limp all day, and now he's not learning his lesson.
Cheng Ye awkwardly turned around and picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks.
Cheng Jiu: "If you don't return, you'll be given a major offense. If you receive three or more major offenses, you'll be banned from the Leaf Realm for three years." Why keep the old bracelets? Decorations? This new material is currently very suitable for entering the fantasy world. If nothing unexpected happens, this material will be used in the future. If everyone does this, how long can the new material be wasted?
After hearing this, Cheng Ye picked up his phone and replied to his little fan.
After receiving the message, the little fan's expression didn't look so bad anymore. Fortunately, it was just the first time. After a while, he looked at Cheng Ye's WeChat and saw a struggle on his face. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and edited the message and sent it.
Cheng Ye received another message, and this time the news made Cheng Ye frown. He hurriedly said to Cheng Jiu: "Dad, the little fan said that his bracelet was not damaged, but his cousin stole it and sold it at a high price. The buyer also said that if there are more bracelets to sell, he is willing to
The other party is willing to buy it at ten times the price. "The discarded bracelets are completely unusable. What are they going to do with useless bracelets?
Cheng Jiu: "...I just want to buy it back for research." Everyone wants a piece of the big cake of 'Leaf Realm', and they had already anticipated this situation.
But the other party might be doing something useless. The Leaf Bracelet is just a medium, and whether this medium can function requires the permission of the creator. The other party bought someone else's bracelet for research, so they probably don't want to expose their own information.
Cheng Ye: "...What kind of talents are they?" If the world in the painting was so easy to be seen, would it take thousands of years for anyone to discover it?

Amid the eager anticipation of netizens, the Yejie bracelet traveled thousands of miles, day and night, to be delivered into their arms.
Those who received the bracelets were as happy as 300-pound babies, eager to put them on immediately, flip the switch to enter the Leaf World, and experience their first fantasy journey. But they couldn't. They still had to go to work. Furthermore, given the Leaf World's eight-hour time limit, the most suitable time for the trial was in the evening. That was probably when the largest number of participants would take part.
Many netizens expressed that they have never been looking forward to the arrival of night as much as they are today.
Cheng Ye, entering the "Leaf Realm" as usual, noticed a noticeable increase in the number of trial-takers on the streets. And they were clearly newbies, as they were all wearing "beginner's attire." They foolishly rushed to grab a ride on the flying carpet, then looked surprised and excited after riding it, like... um, Granny Liu?
After Cheng Ye sent away the Nth newbie who came to ask questions, he boarded the flying carpet and headed towards the Loose Cultivators' Union.
He searched the lobby of the Level 3 mission area but couldn't find any partners for the mission. They were either already in a team or waiting for their new partners to arrive.
When Cheng Ye was stroking his chin and thinking about whether to form his own team, he was patted on the shoulder and a rough voice sounded in his ears.
"Brother Cheng Shi, are you alone? Do you want to join our group? We just want to do the ghost bug mission that has just been refreshed. Do you want to join us?"
Cheng Ye knew who it was the moment he heard the voice. This tall, burly man was called Zhou Dayu. He said he got the name because it was raining heavily when he was born. He wasn't particularly fond of it, though, as it sounded like a girl's name. He was not only loud but also incredibly brash and outgoing, with a very familiar demeanor.
The little girl on Zhou Dayu's left is called An Chao. She looks weak and shy. But this
It was all an illusion. Cheng Ye still couldn't forget the sight of her smashing the head of a level 2 monster with a huge hammer.
The shrewd young man to Zhou Dayu's right was called Pang Changjiang. He was a bit short, but very shrewd. He recorded his own experiences and those he'd shared with others, reanalyzing them and selling them to others at a high price. While the quests in the Leaf Realm were all unique and disappeared once completed, other quests might still encounter the same monsters and require the same herbs, so this information was still very useful.
Cheng Ye has teamed up with them three times and had a good experience with each team.
The reason why they called Cheng Ye Cheng Shi was because Cheng Ye didn't want to be watched, and he specifically asked his father to change his appearance a little bit.
"Okay, I was also worried about not finding suitable teammates."
The four of them hit it off immediately, signed a team agreement, accepted the mission and set off.
*****
'Burning Flower Valley' is a new module that has just been opened. No trial-takers have taken up the tasks here yet. Cheng Ye and his group are the first batch.
They stood at the entrance of the Burning Flower Valley and were hesitant to go in.
"The name 'Burning Flower Valley' sounds very strange. If you don't read the words, you would think it means 'Burning Valley'." An Chao said in a crisp voice.
Pang Changjiang: "Indeed, and this is a new module, so we should be careful." Without any information to refer to, they could only go ahead.
Cheng Ye: "And we're starting with a level three mission, which means this is at least a level three danger zone." Not to mention the others, even he had never entered this new module.
Zhou Dayu said in a gruff voice, "Since we've already accepted the mission, there's no reason to be afraid. I'll lead the way later, and you all should be careful and pay attention to your surroundings."
"ok"
A beautiful valley stretches as far as the eye can see, its banks crisscrossed by rolling peaks, each one awash in lush green. A winding stream runs through the valley, like a silvery starry sky against this carpet of green. Most strikingly, the valley is covered in a vibrant array of flowers, all in full bloom. A dazzling array of reds, yellows, and purples bloom in a gentle breeze, their fragrance filling the air and bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Zhou Dayu: "Shouldn't this be called 'Hundred Flowers Valley' or 'Ten Thousand Flowers Valley' or something like that?" The name Burning Flower Valley doesn't fit at all.
Pang Changjiang: "We still have to be careful. It looks like Baihua Valley, but we can't really treat it as Baihua Valley." The name Fenhua Valley must have some meaning.
Cheng Ye: "Agree" that this place is eerily beautiful
Yes.
Kishi Chao: "Have you noticed?" The attentive girl seemed to have discovered something, her eyes full of vigilance. "It's eerily quiet here."
After hearing these words, the other three people immediately shuddered.
The entire valley looked normal, yet there was not a sound at all. Not the chirping of insects, the singing of birds, the rushing of streams, not even the sound of the wind rustling the trees!
Pang Changjiang: "The mission details describe the characteristics of the ghost bug. It is small in size and good at hiding. Its way of attack is to chirp." The mission requirement is to capture fifty ghost bugs.
Cheng Ye frowned and said, "There's very little information." There was no description of what it looked like or what color it was.
The four of them did not dare to slack off at all and carefully searched for similar targets.
"Ah!" A scream startled the other three, almost making them jump up. Turning around, they saw An Chao slumped to the ground, clutching his ears in pain. The three of them quickly surrounded him and asked anxiously.
"Kisho!"
"Kisho, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah!" An Chao held her head in pain. The tiny sound was like long needles piercing her head, making her brain buzz with pain.
Cheng Ye quickly checked An Chao's surroundings, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and swung the mission card in his hand, hitting An Chao's shoulder with a "bang". The mission card flashed, and the word "1" appeared.
"Ugh..." After finally being rescued, Kishi Chao immediately felt a strong sense of nausea, like a concussion.
After she finished vomiting and took a blood-recovering pill, she said, "Ghost bugs are small transparent bugs. When they fly, there will be a small flash of light. The light is very small, probably its small tentacles." Because it was too small, she was not sure when she discovered it just now, and was attacked when she wanted to take a closer look.
"Don't touch them after you find them, or you'll end up like me." She still hasn't fully recovered, she's so dizzy. What level of concussion is this? Boss Cheng is so ruthless.
Knowing they wouldn't be attacked unless they touched the creature, the four of them began to move separately. It seemed that both keen eyesight and carefulness were crucial to completing this mission.
Cheng Ye's face was tense, he held his breath, and with lightning speed, he captured two ghost bugs on the big red flower. Looking at the number of tasks on the board, Cheng Ye knew that they should be doing well.
Perhaps because this mission went surprisingly smoothly, Cheng Ye felt a strong sense of unease in his heart. He always felt that things couldn't be this simple.
