Chapter 45: Butler Wang, I’m here to summon you!
When this gossip information was updated, the whole world seemed to be silent for a moment.
The village chief's face twisted instantly.
The audience in the live broadcast room also had fun:
"Village Chief, you..."
“Hahaha, mobile phones benefit the people!”
"I was wondering why the village chief was always drinking Chinese medicine some time ago."
"You are still strong even at old age!"
However, while everyone was having fun, some viewers who wanted to do something practical showed some concerns. They said:
"But this magical weapon is cursed if you keep it around."
"If the anchor takes it, it will really be bad for him."
"If you don't take it, it will be even worse if it falls into the hands of the extinct monster when you really need it later."
"Oh my god, I'm in a dilemma."
Whether you take it or not, you will face curse.
No matter what choice you make, it seems to be a dead end. It is simply an unsolvable problem.
However, under the gaze of the audience——
Jian Yue said, "Village Chief, since we are all contributing our own strength to the village, we should be able to understand each other. In fact, I am not saying that we should take away the treasure of the village, but I am afraid that a flood will damage it. It is not good to leave such an important thing on the ground, but it is not safe in anyone's hands. I think it is better for us to put this bronze artifact next to the mountain god in the ancestral hall. In this way, with the mountain god watching over it, you don't have to worry, right?"
As soon as the words fell.
The village chief's face twisted again.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned, and then burst into laughter:
"ah?"
"Mountain God: Are you polite?"
"Hahaha, use magic to defeat magic?"
"No buddy, these dirty tricks are endless."
“There are more unimagined roads!”
Jian Yue said: "What's wrong, Village Chief? Is there any problem?"
Of course, the village chief could not give in so easily. He said, "I can't decide such a big thing alone. This bronze artifact was placed under the tree by my wife. I will discuss it with my wife when she comes back."
You know, although the village chief is usually a coward, his wife is not someone who can be dealt with easily. Even among novices, her name can stop them from crying at night. She was once a horror-level S-dangerous ghost that was a psychological shadow for the players.
really.
When it comes to the village chief's wife, the audience's hearts are in suspense.
Almost as soon as the village chief finished speaking, a woman's figure appeared in front of everyone at the corner of the woods not far away. The village chief's wife was wearing a tall long coat. Her tall and strong figure slowly emerged from the woods. Her eyes were dark and deep, and when she stared at people, it gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
"What's going on?" Her voice was deep and powerful. "What are you arguing about?"
Tiantian and Wang Kun both shuddered subconsciously.
I have also witnessed the terrifying side of this person many times.
Jian Yue turned around and looked at her, and sighed in his heart. He originally thought that it would be enough to deal with the village chief alone, but he didn't expect that the village chief's wife would also show up late.
Tiantian said nervously: "What should I do..."
Wang Kun was so nervous that his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his whole body tensed up. After all, this couple was indeed not easy to deal with. Butler Wang should be very distressed, right?
Looking back.
But he saw a smile on Jian Yue's face, and he said, "Hey, auntie, are you back from your walk?"
The village head's wife glared at Jian Yue and said gloomily, "Secretary Wang, why are you staying in our house when you're not helping others rebuild their houses at the school?"
Her words fell.
The village chief showed a somewhat smug expression, and felt quite proud of relying on his wife to bully Secretary Wang. It really was karma!
But Jian Yue said, "Of course I'm trying to find a way to contribute to the village. Didn't I find an antique under the tree? In order to protect the cultural relics from being destroyed, I'm discussing with the village chief about sending them to the ancestral hall. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the village chief has agreed!"
The village head's wife immediately looked at him and raised her voice and asked loudly, "Do you agree?"
The village chief was stunned. Oh my god, why did he get caught like this? !
When he was about to deny it, Jian Yue said, "Aunt, don't blame the village chief. He has been working hard for the villagers. In fact, when I came here, I saw him coming from the west end of the village..."
The village chief interrupted Jian Yue immediately. The old man was so anxious that he could speak fluently. He said to his wife, "Ah, yes! That's right, madam. Actually, I thought about it carefully. Although this thing is indeed the treasure of our village, we should take it out to worship the mountain god during the annual mountain god festival. It's okay to send it to the ancestral hall first!"
When the village head's wife heard this, her expression was as if to say, "Are you crazy?"
If there weren't other people around, she might have asked her husband to go eat some plums.
"What bullshit!" The village head's wife said in a powerful voice. She glared at her husband fiercely and said, "This is the treasure of our village. How can we let an outsider decide its life and death? No matter what, I will never let the tripod fall into the hands of outsiders!"
She had just finished speaking.
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 carpenter has just broken up with the village chief’s wife, and the village chief’s wife’s new love is old man Li from the east end of the village, and the two of them just got back together!!]
[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]
When Jian Yue saw this gossip, his whole body was shocked again!
What a prosperous Wanfu Village! If you live long enough, you can eat anything!
Isn't old man Li a gigolo, eating Zhang Ma's gigolo? Why is he hooking up with the village chief's wife again? Wait, wife of the village chief, you really broke up, you don't even want to talk to the village chief! !
Jian Yue looked at her strangely.
The village head's wife's mouth twitched.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy:
"?"
"No, you Wanfu Village?"
"How can I look at this copy straight in the future?!"
"It makes me laugh to death. The ghosts have more fun than the players!"
"Village Chief, you and your wife are getting more and more hopeful about your life!"
The village chief in front of her just looked at his wife curiously, wondering why she didn't speak. You know, he knew his wife's temper best. When she had an outburst, it was endless. Why did she suddenly stop talking?
The village chief hesitated and asked, "Madam?"
The village head's wife withdrew her gaze from Jian Yue's face.
"Well..." Seeing her expression was really scary, the village chief racked his brains and said, "Madam, I think you are right. After all, this is the treasure of our village, so we..."
"So we should trust Secretary Wang's words and put it in the ancestral hall." The village head's wife coughed lightly: "Although we do need to be on guard, but then again, Secretary Wang is now the secretary of our village, how can he be an outsider!"
Village Chief: “…That’s what I said…”
The village chief's wife said, "Since that's what you said, let's do it this way, Secretary Wang. Let's put this bronze artifact in the ancestral hall. There shouldn't be any problem now, right?"
She looked at Jian Yue's face and almost said it out loud: Since they have been put in the ancestral hall, there shouldn't be any problem, so please don't cause trouble for her and Old Man Li again!
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I knew that you two were reasonable people. Since you insist on asking me to do so, I can't refuse. I will have someone move it to the ancestral hall later."
The village head and his wife really felt annoyed if they looked at Jian Yue for any longer than necessary, so they left after discussing their matters.
When Tiantian saw them leave, she came over excitedly and said, "Oh my God, Steward Wang, this is too amazing. How could they agree to this? Captain Wen and I were almost scolded to death yesterday. Do you have any tricks?"
"I don't have any tricks. I didn't do anything." Jian Yue said: "As for why I agreed, it may be because the village head and his wife are kind."
Tiantian and Wang Kun looked like they had eaten shit.
The audience in the live broadcast room also laughed to death:
"Ahahaha these days you can even hear people praising the village head and his wife for being kind!"
"He has also turned over a new leaf."
"How can a card be used twice?"
"This is the reward given when you get the Shen Yue nameplate. It refreshes once with no cooldown!"
Although the tasks issued by the system seem to have no logic, they are actually logical in secret. Players don’t know when they will be able to use them, and the rewards for these tasks may even be able to save their lives.
Wang Kun asked, "Butler Wang, are we really going to send this thing to the ancestral hall? After all, this thing is so valuable! Will it be unsafe?"
"Really?" Jian Yue said, "Think about it, there are not many people in the village who have the key to the ancestral hall. It is always locked and no one can get in. Also, there is a mountain god in the ancestral hall. Isn't the mountain god the patron saint of the village? It protects people, so it is normal for it to protect some magic tools!"
Tiantian/Wang Kun: “…”
It's simply impossible to refute.
Now it’s a matter of digging out the magical instruments below.
Tiantian said: "This, this thing looks so scary, I don't dare to touch it..."
"What are you afraid of!" Wang Kun said, "Brother Dao said that this magic weapon is used to deal with mountain gods, so it must be a good thing and will not be dangerous."
The audience in the live broadcast room were also helpless when they heard this:
"The extinct monster is the cow."
"The way you harm people is really a smooth little combo."
"I still have to count the money after being sold."
"You're invincible kid!"
Just as Wang Kun was about to go down to get it, Jian Yue reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Let me do it."
Wang Kun looked back in confusion: "Secretary Wang?"
"It's already troublesome enough to ask you to help me. How can I trouble you with such a small matter?" Jian Yue smiled and pushed his glasses: "I can do it myself."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the shovel beside him. His movements were quick, fierce and accurate. Jian Yue pried out the bronze artifact in a few strokes. As he dug deeper, the soil on the ground became redder. It was not a normal red, but a red similar to that stained with blood, and accompanied by a faint smell.
Even someone as slow-witted as Tiantian could sense that something was wrong. She asked weakly, "Butler Wang, do you smell anything?"
This smell is like the smell of rotten meat that has been left for many years in a chaotic vegetable market. Even if you are not a professional doctor, you can smell something unusual.
Jian Yue said: "Well, did you see it, red soil?"
Tiantian's heart instantly lifted up, and she was so scared that her whole body was shaking: "What does this mean?"
"This shows that red soil is acidic, which is very beneficial to the growth of plants. It is a good place for planting." Jian Yue said: "Look at the tree next to it. It is wide and big, and it grows very straight."
Tiantian: “…”
Enough, she said.
After Jian Yue pulled out the entire bronze ware, the bronze ware that was originally buried in the soil finally saw the light of day again. With the help of sunlight, he lowered his eyes to look at the patterns on it. The patterns of the entire ware gave people an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He should have seen such patterns somewhere, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where.
However, what is certain is that this is indeed something related to the village's mountain god festival, because some of these patterns are the same as those on the altar.
Wang Kun suggested: "Butler Wang, let's take this thing back together?"
Jian Yue shook his head and said, "No need. Wen Yu said that there might be a curse if you go to the ancestral hall. You should go less often. I will just go once."
Tiantian asked doubtfully: "Butler Wang, do you have the key?"
"Yes." Jian Yue said naturally, "I am the village party secretary, how could I not have the key to the ancestral hall?"
Tiantian and Wang Kun looked at him with admiration.
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing:
"Hahaha, Butler Wang, you are so skilled."
"Blame, and continue to fool."
"Excuse me, is there anyone in this instance who has not been fooled by him?"
“Almost none.”
Jian Yue walked away carrying the bronze artifact in one hand. Fortunately, the village chief's house was very close to the ancestral hall. When he left, he opened the system panel and took a look. He saw that the countdown timer was less than an hour. If he couldn't find a way to break the curse within this hour, he might really die here.
The road to the ancestral hall was dark and gloomy, but Jian Yue was more familiar with it than his own home.
Oh, I forgot, he has no home.
No, it seems to have now.
The appearance of the ancestral hall slowly appeared before his eyes. Jian Yue opened the door with familiarity. As soon as he opened it, he saw that the statue of the mountain god looked even more ferocious and terrifying. The whole statue seemed to be alive. A majestic and huge ferocious beast stood on it with its fangs bared and claws bared. Its dark eyes stared deeply at the person who came in, as if it would open its bloody mouth and swallow the person into its stomach in the next second.
Then--
Then Jian Yue picked up the bronze tripod and asked, "Do you recognize this?"
Fierce beast: “…”
The ancestral hall seemed even quieter.
Jian Yue didn't expect it to be able to speak, so he placed the bronze tripod on the table in the ancestral hall. Just now, Tiantian and the others were there, so it was difficult for him to try it. But now that there was no one around, he could give it a try.
Before, I was in Ji Feng’s laboratory.
Although he did not see any useful information, there was one photo that he remembered very clearly. It was a photo of an altar when Ji Feng was taking photos of his friends. The altar back then seemed to be a little different from the current one, perhaps because the photos were taken on different days. There was a picture on the mural that he had not seen when he and Shen Yushu went to see it.
It was a huge stone wall. The village on the wall seemed to be on fire. A tall wizard was chanting something, and countless things poured out of the bronze tripod. The ferocious beasts in the murals looked cowering.
Maybe.
That mural records how to break the power of the ferocious beast.
As for how to use this bronze tripod...
Jian Yue thought about it carefully. He glanced at the system panel. The countdown for his survival on the panel had entered the last minute. As time passed, the number turned red, as if it was a silent warning. When the number returned to zero, the curse would take effect, and perhaps it would be the end of his life.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all nervous for him:
"There are only a few minutes left!"
"Is there a way to break the curse?"
"No one has ever been to that hidden research lab, how could it be possible!"
"Is my treasure anchor gone?"
"The system's countdown life panel won't scare people."
"Now bronze objects are also cursed. What should we do?"
"Both are cursed, this is simply unplayable!!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Jian Yue slowly took out a small knife from his pocket, and then cut a small cut on his fingertips with the knife. The bright red blood slowly flowed from his fingertips into the bronze tripod.
The system's countdown panel continued: [Ji Feng's curse, survival countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven, six...]
It's just the countdown.
Jian Yue's blood fell into the bronze tripod bit by bit. The bronze tripod seemed to have life and absorbed all the blood. At the same time, the system panel froze for a moment: [Three, two,]
After flashing for a while.
The system popped up a new panel:
Trigger the side quest [Curse of the Mountain Beast]
Mission details: Anyone who touches the village treasure is disrespectful to the mountain god. Please lift the curse within 24 hours!
Then Jian Yue's survival panel changed to 24 hours.
Seeing that the survival time on the system panel had changed, Jian Yue smiled and showed an expression of "as expected". He said, "I see. Your task is quite humane."
system:"……"
Mountain God: “…”
Audience in the live broadcast room: “…”
When they saw that Ji Feng's curse had counted down to Jian Yue but he was still safe and sound, everyone was excited:
“Oh my god!”
"Can we still play like this?!"
"Using one curse to counter another curse?"
"Who else except Butler Wang could come up with such a crazy idea?"
"Hahaha, I give in!"
After Jian Yue solved the problem, he put the bronze tripod away and turned back. It was getting dark and he didn't want to make Shen Yushu worry.
When we returned, it was almost dusk.
In the study.
It was a rare occasion for Shen Yushu to hold a simple video conference with his good friends. Well, it wasn't accidental, it was mainly because now that he had confirmed his relationship with Butler Wang, he couldn't help but want to show off.
The friend asked, "So you really like your housekeeper?"
Shen Yushu reminded him: "He is not the housekeeper now, he is my wife, you should respect him!"
"Okay, okay." The friend nodded quickly and added, "But you just said that he often wrote letters to the old lady to pray for blessings. I have investigated before. Your housekeeper is an atheist. Before going to Wanfu Village, he believed in absolute science and always scoffed at Buddhist scriptures and some ghost and god theories, so..."
He stopped at the right time. After mentioning this, Shen Yushu should be able to find the problem.
really.
Shen Yushu's sharp eyebrows narrowed, and he revealed a serious expression. Under his friend's expectant gaze, he whispered: "Damn it, I knew that Butler Wang had a crush on me for a long time and was playing hard to get with me!"
friend:"……"
Is there anyone who can take care of this?
Was the resolute and efficient Shen Yushu eaten by Butler Wang?
My friend sighed, "I mean, don't you think there's something wrong with him?"
"What's wrong? Butler Wang really believes in science. He even became the village party secretary and promoted informatization throughout the village." Shen Yushu snorted and answered in a noble and cold manner.
"Well then." The friend said, "He's just a butler anyway, so he's no match for you no matter how hard he tries. But you better be careful. I checked and he's indeed straight. How could he suddenly become gay? Don't tell me he's taking advantage of you."
Shen Yushu sneered: "Butler Wang told me last night that he doesn't like women. You just don't understand him now. How could he use me? Don't worry, I have my own rhythm!"
friend:"……"
No, can you be sentenced for being in love?
The other side.
Jian Yue had just returned to the Shen residence, and unexpectedly ran into Wen Yu not far outside the young master's study. He didn't know what was going on. He rarely ran into this person before, but he ran into her more often recently. He really wanted to pay a large sum of money to learn how to avoid running into her and Brother Dao.
But you still have to say hello.
Wen Yu was also a little surprised when he saw him: "Butler Wang, are you still alive?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Captain Wen is still alive and well."
Wen Yu realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly smiled and said, "I, I didn't mean that. I was just thinking that the curse is about to end, and I don't know if you have found a way to lift the curse. I'm a little worried about you."
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you have found it, Captain Wen?"
"We also found it in the archives by accident." Wen Yu said, "In the afternoon, we were accidentally scratched when we took the bronze artifact, and the blood fell on it and refreshed the curse. I didn't expect that I would have a little more time to survive. I came here as soon as I knew about this, because I was afraid that something might happen to you!"
The more Jian listened, the more confused he became. He asked, "Captain Wen, although I am touched by your kindness, how can I deserve you to take it so seriously?"
He even thought about it, maybe Wen Yubie discovered his relationship with the president, so he wanted to use him to take advantage of Shen Yushu?
Or does she know that she has the ability to make keys herself?
Countless speculations flashed through my mind.
But seeing the woman in front of him suddenly look shy, Wen Yu shyly pulled her hair back and said, "Actually, there is no other reason, Steward Wang, I did all this for you!"
Jian Yue had a bad feeling in his heart, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Butler Wang, I actually fell in love with you the first time I saw you!" Wen Yu said loudly, "Boss Shen and I were forced to do that because of the plot, I really love you!!"
Jian Yue: “…”
