Chapter 23 You are playing with fire!
After hearing these words, Jian Yue looked up at him in shock.
Before Shen Yushu could say anything else.
Jian Yue stood up from the ground, not even caring about his embarrassment. He walked up to Shen Yushu and said indignantly, "Master! How can you doubt my loyalty to you!"
Shen Yushu:?
"I swear I am definitely not in the same group with the archaeological team!" Jian Yue was so excited that he seemed to be the one being cuckolded. His boss actually suspected that he had an affair with Scarface's group. This could completely cause him to lose his monthly bonus. He fiercely expressed his loyalty: "I have only had you, young master, and I have never had any second thoughts!"
Shen Yushu didn't expect Jian Yue to be so excited.
Could it be that...
Did he really misunderstand?
Shen Yushu was not an impulsive person. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Tiantian behind him and asked, "Why are you two rolling together on the lawn?"
Jian Yue turned around and looked at Tiantian who was almost frightened silly just now.
Tiantian was obviously still not out of her fear, especially because Shen Yushu's aura was too strong. When he wasn't smiling, he looked powerful without even getting angry. She replied with red eyes, "I... I wanted to take Butler Wang away."
Depend on!
Jian Yue was shocked.
I wondered how this kid could be so honest and sell everything out! What if the boss thought he was not dedicated and deducted his bonus?
Shen Yushu narrowed his eyes and said, "Run away? What are you running for?"
Tiantian trembled and said, "Because, because there are dirty things in the warehouse..."
Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat.
You have to know that the young master is a staunch materialist, so don't send her to a mental hospital when the time comes!
really.
Shen Yushu turned around and looked at him. Just when Jian Yue was feeling uneasy, Shen Yushu said coldly, "Butler Wang, if the warehouse is not clean, arrange for more people to clean it. Why did you only find a little girl to clean it? It's so dirty that it scares people to tears!"
“…”
He is indeed a materialist fighter.
Jian Yue suppressed the complaints in his heart and said honestly, "It's the young master."
Shen Yushu now understood why the two people were so dirty, especially Jian Yue, whose body was covered in black and white, as if he had rolled on the ground. He had originally suspected that Butler Wang had done something behind his back, but now he was relieved. It seemed that the two people were just cleaning the warehouse, and he was overthinking it.
but……
Shen Yushu was still a little annoyed by Jian Yue's disheveled appearance. He said, "Go wash yourself. Why are you so disheveled?"
Jian Yue just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to look at the diary he had brought back, but he found that the diary was actually slightly hot, and the system panel was still counting down:
[Limited Time Mission] Diary Defense
Time remaining for the mission: 45 seconds
Jian Yue suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He lowered his head and found that the diary in his hand had really changed. The diary began to weather since he left the warehouse. The first few pages were seriously stained with crimson blood, and even the pages after that could not be seen clearly!
It's time.
Jian Yue finally understood the reason for the system timing.
The warehouse manager must have some special magnetic field, so the things of the archaeological team can be placed for hundreds or thousands of years without decaying, at most they are a little old, but once they leave the warehouse, they will mutate faster. But if the players stay in the warehouse, the female ghost will keep chasing them, and the players must find a way to finish reading the contents of the diary within five minutes while avoiding being chased!
Depend on!
Jian Yue was a little overwhelmed, he knew that the task issued by the system could not be that simple. You know, the things in this diary might be the most important props to help the crew progress. It took a lot of effort to get this diary. If he lost this prop, he didn't know how long it would take for him to come across anything about the progress of the task next time!
The blood-red panel of the system was still counting down mercilessly:
[Limited Time Mission] Diary Defense
Time remaining for the mission: 31 seconds
The blood slowly began to permeate the entire diary at an accelerated rate. Even if he started reading from now on, it would be impossible for him to finish reading the entire diary within half a minute. This seemed to be an impossible task from the very beginning!
The audience in the live broadcast room also followed suit and discussed:
“The anchor finally found out.”
"The warehouse copy is really the most desperate place for newcomers."
"It would be easier if there were a card that could restore items or lock time."
"This gold card I only have is actually pretty useless."
"It's over. The anchor has worked in vain!"
Seeing the numbers on the system panel and the technology gradually disappearing, the alienation of blood could not be stopped no matter what -
Jian Yue was sweating profusely, and he said without thinking: "Master!!"
Shen Yushu looked back at him and asked in surprise, "Anything else?"
"I...I..." Jian Yue's brain began to quickly search for the few excuses he had. He said without even thinking, "Master, I have made some discoveries in the warehouse, and this diary is one of them!"
When Shen Yushu turned around, a somewhat old diary was placed in his hands.
As soon as the diary came into Shen Yushu's hands and Shen Yushu lowered his head, it became completely obedient, with the embarrassed blood color neither increasing nor decreasing, and it did not dare to continue to spread.
Shen Yushu frowned and asked, "Why are there a few pages in red?"
His bony hands flipped a few more pages, his dark eyes were sharp and clear, as if he wanted to find out the reason.
While watching.
Shen Yushu also looked at Jian Yue and said, "Butler Wang, was it like this when you found it?"
Jian Yue looked down at the diary in Shen Yushu's hand. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the diary in Shen Yushu's hand under the sunlight looked pitiful, helpless and well-behaved. The arrogant attitude of wanting to dye it red to death in front of Jian Yue was gone, and it seemed to be trembling all over, as if afraid that Shen Yushu would take it back for scientific research.
“…”
Seeing this scene, not only Jian Yue, but also the audience in the live broadcast room were amused:
"Diary: I have been honest, please let me go"
"Whoever dares to act like a demon in front of Mr. Shen will be cremated!"
"Is this actually possible?"
"Use the rules of the system to defeat the rules of the system!"
You must know that according to the rules of the dungeon world, characters cannot do things that violate the role settings, and they cannot let the key NPCs of the main world discover any abnormalities. Therefore, players are required to abide by the role settings assigned to them. This requirement is not only for players, but also for all ghosts and objects in the dungeon!
However, most of the ghosts and NPCs in the camp are hostile to the players, so no one dares to try it.
really.
After the countdown ends.
The system panel emits a prompt sound:
[Limited Time Mission] The battle to defend the diary is complete.
[Mission Reward] 300 mall points have been issued.
Jian Yue watched the system's countdown end, but he breathed a sigh of relief as he knew that the diary would be safe as long as it was in Shen Yushu's hands. He had made the right bet!
No one can act like a demon in front of a materialist fighter!
Not even a diary!
"Master, I found some things left by the previous archaeological team on the second floor of the warehouse, and this is one of them." Jian Yue said, "It has been sealed up before. The secret room below is closed. There is no light and no other exit. I went down the stairs and found that the box inside seemed to contain some information left by the previous archaeological team. I think it is very likely to help treat the old lady's illness!"
He thought very clearly that there must be many clues in the warehouse.
But if he were to go back to that place by himself, he would have a psychological trauma. If he were to hand it over to the archaeological team, they might not give it to him no matter what they found.
Weigh the pros and cons.
He actually felt most at ease entrusting it to Shen Yushu!
really.
The president frowned and asked, "Is there anything else there?"
Jian Yue couldn't wait to say, "Yes, Master."
He earnestly hoped that his boss could see his loyalty, that he was really not slacking off and was really a diligent worker!
However--
Shen Yushu pondered for a moment and then looked at Jian Yue and said, "So you got yourself so dirty because you went down to that secret room?"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "This is what an old slave should do!"
He thought that now the young master knew his loyalty!
Shen Yushu looked at him with a complicated expression.
I thought to myself that I didn't expect that Butler Wang was so sincere to him. She actually made herself like this for him! Even if it was for him, she shouldn't be so careless about her own body. What a troublesome little goblin! !
Shen Yushu cursed under his breath, and he looked sideways at Jian Yue, his handsome sword-like brows slightly wrinkled, and his voice was low, powerful, and a little annoyed: "You are simply playing with fire."
Jian Yue:?
What's the meaning?
The boss thought he was a bit impulsive and took risks. Was he blaming him?
Jian Yue immediately proved himself, "Master, you are so good to me. It is nothing to do these things for you. As long as you do not misunderstand my loyalty, I will go wash up and come back to you and report to you in detail."
As soon as the words fell.
The system prompts: [Health value increased by 15%, current health value 20% enters the normal line]
Very good!
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if he flattered someone well, he would get what he wanted!
Just as I was thinking about going back, I heard Shen Yushu say, "Butler Wang, come with me."
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, young master, please go back to the study and wait for me for a while, I will come."
When the audience thought he had something else to say, Jian Yue turned around and looked at Tian Tian. He squatted down, stretched out his hand to her and said, "Get up first, the ground is cold."
Tiantian obviously hasn't fully recovered from what just happened.
Jian Yue took her arm and pressed several of her acupuncture points. Tiantian gasped a few times in pain, but after the pain subsided, her heart seemed to no longer beating so violently.
She looked at Jian Yue with tears in her eyes. Jian Yue said, "Next time you are scared, just press these places yourself. It will be more soothing and help you sleep. Didn't you say you couldn't sleep because you were scared?"
Tiantian was so moved that she almost cried: "Butler Wang, why are you so nice to me?"
She didn't wait to be touched for a while.
Jian Yue replied seriously, "Because you are the only one in this copy who has the skill of teleportation, so it is more convenient for you to escape."
Tiantian: “…Oh.”
Jian Yue took his hand back and said, "You go back first. The diary is in my hand. She won't look for you. But there is something I want to tell you. I suspect there is something wrong with the scar-faced people around you. If possible, you'd better stay away from them."
In fact, under normal circumstances, Jian Yue would not care about this matter.
But just now in the warehouse, Tiantian at least saved his life. Even if they were just using each other, favors should be repaid. His reminder was already a repayment of the favor. What happened in the future, whether Tiantian believed it or not, had nothing to do with him.
The audience in the live broadcast room also felt a little emotional when seeing this scene:
“The host is quite kind.”
"I'm afraid they'll turn around and sell him off."
"It's really hard to be alone in a dungeon."
“No, he still has Mr. Shen.”
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Fuck! I'm speechless!"
Jian Yue didn't know what the audience in the live broadcast room were talking about. He straightened his clothes and knocked on the door of the study room: "Master, is it convenient for you to come in?"
Shen Yushu's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Jian Yue walked in.
The room was bright. Shen Yushu's study always gave people a reassuring feeling. Shen Yushu waved at him and said, "Come here."
Jian Yue walked over and saw Shen Yushu holding the diary. He had obviously read some of it and said to Jian Yue, "Have you read the contents of this diary?"
"I only read a little bit." Jian Yue said honestly: "I didn't finish it."
Shen Yushu handed him the diary and said, "Take a look."
Jian Yue had wanted to read it a long time ago, so he took the diary and sat by the window to read it. Fortunately, the red blood only stained the first few pages, most of which were about daily life after entering the village, so the impact was not that great. He turned to the back and could see the rest of the content:
March 7, 1753
Cloudy weather
Someone in the team went missing and their whereabouts were unknown. Everyone was very sad, but it was on this day that I made progress in my research, which made everyone feel relieved. I believe that it won’t be long before we can find the secret of longevity in Wanfu Village!
March 9, 1753
Cloudy weather
The village chief and his wife had a quarrel, apparently because of some emotional problems. The village chief no longer provided us with lanterns, and we began to borrow lanterns from other villagers. The strange thing is that recently I always felt that there were some noises outside the window when I was sleeping. Fortunately, my research was going well. A Yue said that I was really too tired, and she suggested that I take a good rest. We decided to go up the mountain for an outing together.
March 12, 1753
Cloudy weather
I saw it, I finally saw it! We saw a miracle on the mountain! This is the secret we have been looking for!
Jian Yue's heart unconsciously became nervous when he saw this. He turned the page and wanted to continue reading, but found that the last few pages of the diary were missing. Judging from the thickness of the entire book, it was obvious that there were still some pages, but it unexpectedly stopped here.
Shen Yushu asked, "Have you finished reading it?"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Yushu frowned and said seriously, "Did you find anything wrong?"
Jian Yue's expression was also very solemn. He pondered for a moment and said, "Master, do you feel that..."
Shen Yushu: "What do you think?"
"I think the quality of this notebook is quite poor." Jian Yue shook it and said, "Pages are falling off. I was halfway through reading it!"
Shen Yushu: "..."
Forget it, he’s my own butler, so just be patient.
Shen Yushu calmed down and said, "The other pages of this diary have been torn off."
Jian Yue nodded, as if he remembered something, and said quickly: "I didn't tear it!!"
Shen Yushu resisted the urge to hit him with a hammer and said, "Of course I know. I can tell with my brain. The tear marks on this book show that it is very old!"
Jian Yue coughed lightly, smiled and said, "Master is wise."
Isn't it because the young master always suspects him, so he has to prove his innocence!
Shen Yushu's expression became serious again. When he was serious, he had an air of majesty without even getting angry. He said, "This Ji Feng should have researched the secret of longevity in Wanfu Village."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yes, but unfortunately the clue ends here."
Shen Yushu sneered and said, "Who said it's broken?"
Jian Yue was stunned.
Shen Yushu glanced at him calmly and said, "Take a closer look at the last page, his last diary entry."
Jian Yue turned around and looked carefully again. Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but after looking at it carefully many times, he finally found something wrong. However, when he found out about this, his breathing became short, and he felt a chill slowly crawling up his spine and reaching his lungs, but he had nowhere to vent it.
At first glance, the handwriting in the diary seems fine.
Because it is so old, many of the words are a little blurry, so it is basically difficult to tell the difference.
But if you look at it again and again, you will find that the ink of the handwriting is different, and it is different from the previous fountain pen. The handwriting of the last diary seems to be more rounded, like it was written by a ballpoint pen! !
But the problem is.
Jian Yue said: "The first ballpoint pen was invented in China around 1948, but the diary was written in 1753. There is a gap of more than 200 years between them. How could this Ji Feng still be alive!"
The highest human lifespan recorded in the country is no more than 200 years.
Shen Yushu sneered: "It seems that he has found a way to live longer."
Jian Yue said: "But why did he come back to write a diary after more than 200 years? According to his habit, shouldn't he record it every day?"
unless……
Something happened on the day he went up the mountain for an outing that prevented him from coming back to write his diary.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also excited:
"What the hell did I see!!"
“Boss Shen is actually helping players analyze clues!”
"It's amazing that the host thought of handing the diary to the NPC."
"It's not uncommon to see ghosts in this live broadcast room now!"
At the same time.
Jian Yue's system panel also changed:
[Main Quest] The secret story of Wanfu Village has progressed to 40%
Forty percent!
It seems that the diary that was protected at the risk of one's life was really worth it, as the plot progressed at a rapid pace.
But Jian Yue felt that the cheerful situation became a little confusing. What was the relationship between Ji Feng and the female ghost? Why did the female ghost want to find him? Are they lovers? Could it be that the female ghost is A Yue?
Jian Yue always felt that he had missed something.
Just thinking about it.
Shen Yushu's voice fell and said, "Tomorrow I will have people go to the warehouse to move all the people's things out. Within three days, I want all his information!"
Jian Yue choked and said, "Master, isn't three days a bit too fast?"
Damn capitalism!
Shen Yushu glanced at him and sneered in a noble and cold manner: "You are the first person who dares to question the intelligence organization ability of my subordinates, Steward Wang, you know nothing about power!"
What? Didn't you ask him to check?
"Is it true, young master?" Jian Yue was immediately happy. He solemnized his expression and flattered him skillfully, "I am short-sighted, young master is wise!"
Shen Yushu then retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, go and clean up this mess on you, and..."
Jian Yue looked at him puzzledly, thinking that the boss had something else to tell him.
Shen Yushu is a cool and arrogant CEO who looks down on people with his chin down. But at this moment, he turned his head away for unknown reasons and said calmly, "Put on your coat. The back of your shirt is torn. You should pay more attention to yourself and don't take your body too seriously just for me."
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he really didn't expect his boss to care about him.
Having narrowly escaped death from the clutches of the female ghost, he had no chance to think too much. He was scared, but over the years he had been alone no matter what happened, so he had really gotten used to it.
Although Jian Yue was touched, he still said, "It's okay, Master. Although it's a little exposed after being torn, I'm only walking a short distance back. It's not necessary, right?"
Shen Yushu said domineeringly: "If I tell you to take it, take it. As my housekeeper, you should always pay attention to your image. How can you go out in tattered clothes and hug others?"
Jian Yue: “…”
Young Master, is it really me you are talking about?
Although he wanted to refute, but after meeting the boss's strong gaze, Jian Yue swallowed his words. Forget it, as long as the boss is happy!
It was already afternoon when I returned wearing Shen Yushu's coat.
The diary is safest with Shen Yushu. As long as the diary is there, the female ghost will come, so Jian Yue never dared to take it back. Now that he has returned to the room, he still feels that he has overlooked something.
Originally he wanted to get some sleep before dark.
But he suddenly sat up after lying on the bed, his eyes widened a little, and he remembered, scientific research! Ji Feng had been talking about scientific research results. If you want to do scientific research, you must have a laboratory and equipment. Where is his research room? Since the work badge where he lived back then is still there, it doesn't make sense that the research room is gone!
Almost as soon as this thought came to mind.
The system panel is refreshed:
Trigger limited-time mission: [Ji Feng's Research Laboratory]
Mission details: Please find Ji Feng's laboratory by any means within one week.
Mission Reward: Cards refresh twice without cooldown.
Jian Yue's eyes widened when he saw the reward. He had to remember the usefulness of the card deeply. If he could get two refresh opportunities, his chances of survival would be greater when he encountered many dangers.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked:
"He actually cleared this task."
"This is a hidden mission."
“The anchor’s progress is really fast.”
"The most important thing is that he basically carries out missions alone!"
Jian Yue received the task, but he did not take it lightly. It was not easy to find Ji Feng's laboratory. Fortunately, the system gave him a week, which was enough for him to survey the village.
He was thinking about these things in a daze. He leaned on the bed wearing Shen Yushu's coat and felt very sleepy. Jian Yue usually slept lightly. He thought that Zhang Aunt would come to call him for dinner in the evening. He was very tired after the day, so he might as well take a nap.
When he opened his eyes again, he heard birds singing outside.
etc……
Birds chirping?!
Jian Yue suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and saw that it was a sunny day outside. The sun was coming in through the window outside, and it was obviously noon!
He actually slept until he woke up naturally?
Jian Yue hasn't slept so well for a long time since he came to this village. Not to mention the ghosts that appeared inexplicably at night, and he sometimes stayed in the president's study, always sleeping on the sofa or the table, and he almost never slept so well in bed.
But why didn't any ghost come to see him yesterday?
Jian Yue's eyes fell on Shen Yushu's clothes draped over him, and then his eyes gradually brightened...
The audience in the live broadcast room was happy:
"Thank you for discovering the evil-repelling artifact."
"The aura of the Son of the World cannot be overstated!"
"In fact, some players have thought of this trick before."
"The stolen items are useless."
"Only gifts are effective. The anchor hit it by accident, haha."
Jian Yue obviously thought of this as well. He thought about whether he should find a way to keep the coat, but the system would never allow a bug to exist for a long time. Just because he could get away with it for one night, it didn't mean he could do so every night.
Get up from the bed.
Jian Yue went to the bathroom to wash up, then changed into new clothes and went out. Shen Yushu might have felt that he was too tired recently, so he gave him a day off. It was just right that he could take this opportunity to walk around the village and see if he could find any clues.
The daytime in Wanfu Village is very normal.
Jian Yue came to the village archives, which was managed by the carpenter's wife Liu Meifen. It was here that he found Ji Feng's work badge last time, so he planned to come here again to see if there was anything missing.
Just arrived at the entrance of the archives.
He saw the carpenter's wife sweeping the floor in the yard. Their eyes met. Her gaze was full of hostility. It was obvious that she didn't like Jian Yue. She said without even looking at him, "No one from outside the village is allowed in here. Get out of here if you have nothing to do. Don't delay me from sweeping the floor!"
Jian Yue always felt that there must be something to be discovered in this archive. He said enthusiastically, "Aunt, I have only been here for a short time. I feel very comfortable with our village. I think it is a good place to live with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. Please don't treat me as an outsider. From now on, you should treat me as one of your own. Don't be so polite. Just call me Xiao Wang!"
The carpenter’s wife: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched, as if she couldn't believe to hear such words.
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing:
"Beautiful mountains and clear waters, simple folk customs?"
“I almost don’t recognize these two words anymore.”
"How did you come up with this?"
"It's okay if we hit it off right away!"
The carpenter's wife rejected Jian Yue's trick. She said coldly, "Don't play tricks on me. Don't think I don't know that you outsiders have ulterior motives. Although I am old, I am not blind!"
Most people would probably back off at this point.
Jian Yue said righteously, "Aunt, I don't allow you to say that about yourself! How can you be considered old? Looking at your skin and condition, you look like you are only in your early 18s. To be honest, in our place, people of your age are in the most critical year of their lives. It is the time to fight and make breakthroughs. You are not old at all!"
The carpenter's wife was stunned when she heard this. She hesitated but still spat: "Don't try to deceive me. I know what I am like!"
He looked like he was not interested in anything.
The audience in the live broadcast room sighed:
"This woman is not easy to please."
"These ghosts are very cunning."
“I will never miss any opportunity to cheat players.”
"Yes, host, just give up on this idea!"
Just when the audience thought Jian Yue was at his wit's end.
"Well then." Jian Yue sighed with some regret, he said: "Actually, I was going to say that I have a friend who does scientific research, and the skin care products they developed have anti-aging effects. This time she was interested in some of the ancient monuments and legends in the village, so she asked me to go and investigate. I was going to say, Auntie, you are so beautiful, I have found a research institute, I must ask them to send a few sets of skin care products to thank you, but since it is so regrettable, I can only forget it..."
The carpenter's wife immediately said, "Wait a minute!"
Jian Yue paused and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong, auntie? Is there anything wrong?"
So, under the gaze of the audience in the live broadcast room, the carpenter's wife's expression changed again and again. Because she was infertile, she was always despised by her husband. Her husband gave her the cold shoulder, and the villagers despised her for her eccentric and hot-tempered personality and refused to make friends with her. Occasionally, some outsiders would come to the village and regard her as a monster, like a flood or a beast.
Day after day, she lived like a walking corpse.
But the outsider in front of her said that she was not old at all, and in the big city, she was now at the age to fight and make breakthroughs!
The carpenter's wife coughed lightly, tucked her hair and said, "Although outsiders are not allowed to enter the archives room, I think you, Xiao Wang, really like our village. You know that I don't have anything else but a warm heart. There are ways for you to enter the archives..."
As she finished speaking, Jian Yue's smile got even bigger. He bent down and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."
The audience in the live broadcast room: “…”
them.
They were shocked for eight hundred years!!!
Seeing the guy in the live broadcast room who usually beat and killed players when he saw them, but now he was kind enough to provide clues to the players, they almost wanted to poke their own eyes out! !
"Your Wanfu Village and my Wanfu Village seem different."
"No, is it still possible?"
"How can cosmetics solve this problem? Deceiving ghosts can satisfy the conditions for killing people."
"I'm just going to say that the points in the mall are for sale."
"Damn, when did the system start selling stuff like this? How can anyone be in the mood to take care of their skin during a horror dungeon?"
"Yes, the carpenter's wife."
“…I don’t know how to refute it.”
This funny and explosive scene early in the morning directly stimulated the audience's nerves.
The popularity of the live broadcast room also increased.
System prompts:
[There are currently 5,000 people online in the live broadcast room. Congratulations to the anchor for entering the top ten of the new live broadcast list! ]
[The current live broadcast room has received 10,000 popular recommendation tickets, and has received 3,000 reward points. Congratulations to the anchor for being on the weekly list! Please keep up the good work, and the new anchor gift package will be unlocked soon! ]
The carpenter's wife said, "You can come and go in the archives room if you want. If you go to the village head and pass a vote in the village committee, as long as you become the secretary, you can participate in some of the daily affairs of the village."
As soon as the words fell.
The system updates the panel:
Limited-time mission: [Mass cadres are the most glorious]
Mission details: Become the village secretary through a vote of the village committee
Limited time task: 24 hours
Mission Reward: Archives Key
Jian Yue had visited the archives before, and he found that some of the rooms in the archives were locked. Now that he thought about it, they were most likely the research laboratories of the archaeological team. So this archive must be an important place. If he wanted to think about it carefully, he had to get the key!
Having made up his mind, Jian Yue was extremely excited.
He is a man of action.
That morning, he found the village chief and expressed his desire to become the village party secretary. With a look of astonishment on his face, he enthusiastically begged him to convene a village meeting as soon as possible.
At a campaign meeting.
Jian Yue stood at the front of the wooden table and said enthusiastically: "If I can become the village secretary, I will definitely contribute to the stable development of our village. My campaign manifesto is to make it bigger and stronger, and lead the villagers to achieve common prosperity and a well-off society within three years. Thank you, everyone, please vote for me!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent.
The village chief, his wife, the carpenter, the carpenter's wife, Widow Li, Grandma Li, and even some other stranger villagers sitting at the table all looked at him expressionlessly, with sullen faces.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy:
"This is probably the first time the village chief and his men have heard such words."
"Someone wants to build a ghost village in a horror dungeon."
"What a hell of a joke."
"This is the first time I've seen a player who can silence all ghosts at the same time, hahahaha!"
After Jian Yue finished speaking, he even drank a sip of water, then looked at everyone expectantly and said, "What do you think? Can you vote for me?"
The village chief sneered.
He hated Jian Yue so much. Not only did he not pay for his lanterns, but he also made him suffer losses time and time again. Now he knew his wife was cheating on him but he dared not say a word. Now he finally had a chance to sabotage Jian Yue. Even if he died or jumped from here, he would never vote for Jian Yue!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jian Yue looked at the village chief's wife again.
The village chief's wife was still strong and powerful, and she smiled sinisterly, looking ferocious.
Last time Xiao Shulin was caught cheating, she hated Jian Yue so much that it was impossible for her to vote. Even if he had the same last name as Butler Wang, she would never vote for him! !
Jian Yue asked, "Why is everyone silent? Are you moved by my campaign manifesto?"
Everyone: “…”
Jian Yue looked at the carpenter again, and the carpenter sneered as well.
The last time he was chased by that evil woman in his family and beaten in the woods, he couldn't even get up the next day. If he was asked to vote for Jian Yue, he would rather be crippled again! !
Seeing that the carpenter remained silent, Jian Yue looked at Widow Li who was not far away.
Widow Li was playing with her hair. When she saw Jian Yue looking over, she sneered. Last time Jian Yue told her that there was pocket money under the water tank, he was almost caught having an affair by the village head’s wife. Now, even if he gave her one million, she would not vote for him, unless it was two million!!
Except for these few insiders.
The other villagers had no contact with Jian Yue for the time being, so they were all on the sidelines, ready to follow the others in voting.
The village chief's skinny face showed a gloating expression. The old man said, "Butler Wang, although we all agree with you, we are still a little worried about handing the position of village party secretary to an outsider."
His words fell.
It was like a horn was blown halfway, attracting others to join in.
The village chief’s wife said, “Yes, in Wanfu Village, there has never been a special case of outsiders serving as village cadres. Even my son and my husband’s son have not yet become village cadres.”
Seeing him say this.
Widow Li also said, "That's right. None of our local children have become village cadres. How can it be possible for outsiders to become village cadres?"
While saying.
She threw a suggestive glance at the village chief.
Seeing that the three people disagreed, Jian Yue looked at the carpenter, who sneered and said, "I don't think it's appropriate either. If you ask me, outsiders are unreliable!"
The atmosphere suddenly reached a deadlock.
With a one-sided vote of no, his chances of becoming village party secretary were almost slim.
Grandma Li, the most experienced elder in the village, said, "Okay, the result of the vote is out. Steward Wang cannot become..."
The audience in the live broadcast room also felt a little emotional when seeing this scene:
"This time it's completely over."
“This offends all the ghosts.”
"It seems that this village party secretary is in danger."
"This gold card's skills aren't that useful."
"The anchor is going to fail, hahaha!"
Jian Yue's heart sank when he heard this. The mission was indeed not going to go smoothly. Even if he found the clue, it would be difficult to move forward. Was it really going to end here?
Just when the villagers were looking at Jian Yue's frustrated expression with some pride and were about to raise their hands to reject it -
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, the latest gossip, the village chief is actually a jerk. Incompetent and infertile! ]
[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]
As soon as the news came out, everything became quiet.
Jian Yue was stunned as he looked at the message that popped up in front of him.
His eyes fell on the people sitting at the table in front of him, and his mood was in turmoil!
What the hell! ?
The village chief is infertile, but his wife and mistress both have children?!
When Jian Yue was complaining in his mind, the people sitting at the table also froze. When Jian Yue looked at the village chief, he found that the poor old man's face had turned green with anger.
How pitiful.
Jian Yue felt a little sympathetic towards him. He thought, if other people in the village knew that the village chief could be cuckolded twice at the same time, wouldn't they die of laughter? !
The thought just came to mind!
The village chief sitting on the chair was shocked, and the old man seemed to have broken his teeth, but he still hurriedly said: "Grandma Li, wait!!"
Grandma Li looked at him puzzledly.
The village chief coughed lightly and said, "Think about it carefully. Although there has never been a special case of outsiders serving as village cadres, there are exceptions to everything. In the new era and new ideas, we should also give outsiders more opportunities."
The other villagers looked at the village chief in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly changed his words.
Jian Yue was also slightly surprised. He sighed in his heart and looked at the village chief's wife. He didn't expect the village chief to be so concerned about his reputation. But whose child was this? If the village chief knew that he had been cuckolded for many years...
The idea has not yet been implemented.
The village chief's wife also coughed lightly and said, "I, I also think it makes sense. Now that I have a closer look, Steward Wang is also a handsome man. I will vote for him!"
Jian Yue was shocked. Damn, it turns out that she could hear my gossip. Whose child is that? It can’t be the carpenter’s. Brother Carpenter, not only are you having an affair outside, you even have a child with him. If your wife knew about this, wouldn’t she beat him to death?
The thought just came to my mind.
The carpenter who was sitting there watching the show was shocked and said quickly: "I think what the village chief said is very true. Over the years, under the leadership of the village chief, we have become increasingly poor. Our Wanfu Village really needs a village secretary who can lead us to a well-off life!"
The village chief's face twisted again.
Jian Yue was happy. He looked at Widow Li again, but before he could think about it, his eyes just glanced over.
Shocked, the widow Li, who felt guilty about her crime, didn't even need him to look at her. She didn't even comb her hair. She smiled and said, "Butler Wang and I hit it off right away. From the first moment I saw him, I knew he was a good candidate to be the village party secretary!!"
Other villagers who don’t know the truth:?
No? You guys?
How come these people, who usually can't wait to eat outsiders first, have changed their nature?
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed even more:
“I’m full of this melon!”
"There are so many jokes, I don't even know where to laugh."
"It's also the construction of a ghost village, host."
"Since this instance was launched, no player has ever successfully run for village party secretary, but he actually did it!"
"I'm really curious about what the president's expression was when he found out that Butler Wang had become a village cadre."
“Hahahahaha, I’m equally curious!!”
