"Impossible, I brought clearly a golden duck and an ordinary duck. What makes you say that the number I brought is wrong?!" Miaoshou Kongkong is a young man in his twenties, and quite handsome. However, he is arguing with the owner of the NPC duck farm over the number of ducks and the points for the event.
The owner of the duck farm in their village is a burly middle-aged man, a head taller than Miaoshoukongkong. When he stares at you, it's hard not to feel scared.
In his opinion, Miaoshoukongkong's words were clearly a sophistry. A black duck plus a green duck could only count as one, but he had the nerve to say there were seven. Young people nowadays haven't even learned arithmetic well!
"If I say it's wrong, then it's wrong. Am I the owner of the duck farm or are you the owner of the duck farm?" The boss glared and waved the man aside with his big hand like a palm leaf fan. "Don't block the way. Don't you see there are other people waiting in line behind you?"
Without the obstruction of the empty-handed, the players came forward one by one, handed in the ducks, and got points. It was obviously a process that required negotiation, but the duck farm owner was like a most sophisticated instrument, and dealt with all the players who came to hand in the ducks in just a dozen seconds.
Bai Qingning mingled among the players and received points as a reward for this round.
Miaoshoukongkong, who was waved aside, looked at the ducks running around on the ground, and then looked up at the duck farm owner in disbelief, trying to see a little bit of guilt on the other's face.
But no, not at all.
But he didn't believe that the number of ducks he caught was wrong. There was only one possibility, that the ducks he caught with great difficulty were cheated by this boss!
Well, this black-hearted boss, he clearly stole his duck, but he still said he caught the wrong duck. He just confiscated the wrong duck and refused to return it to him, so he had no evidence to seek justice from anyone.
At this moment, the arrogant person met someone even more "arrogant and unreasonable", making Miaoshoukongkong feel frustrated for the first time since he started playing the game.
But what could he do? He had no idea at all. All he could do was continue to catch ducks honestly and submit the number assigned by the duck farm owner.
He finally managed to vent his emotions and let the depression dissipate, but what happened in the next few rounds challenged his bottom line again and again.
Three ducks, points for success.
Seven ducks, the wrong number, no points.
Nine ducks, the wrong number, no points.
Four ducks, successful points.
Eight ducks, the wrong number, no points.
Some things cannot be resolved by simply choosing to be tolerant again and again. After receiving the notification for the fourth time that the number of ducks submitted was incorrect, Miaoshoukongkong finally broke down. He yelled and pulled the owner of the duck farm to force him to give a reasonable explanation.
"What do you mean? All ducks below five passed through normally, but those above five were blocked and said I made a mistake in the number. So you look down on the small number and eat up the large number at once? Don't think I dare not say anything to you just because you are the owner of the duck farm. I tell you, I will also go and complain. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to Li Li to judge the case. Do you believe it?!"
The duck farm owner didn't know who "Li Li" was. He was just an ordinary event NPC Ba Liao.
Miaoshoukongkong felt wronged, and he felt even more wronged! He was obviously working hard, but he was accused by the same person several times for doing something behind his back. It would be unpleasant for anyone to have such dirty water thrown on him.
It just so happened that the rounds of this game had all ended, and players could choose to exit the event map, or choose to stay here for ten minutes and be automatically teleported out. Since this player was pulling his sleeve and insisting on him giving a reason, then he should just have a good talk with him!
"You want a reason, right? Then I'll tell you." The duck farm owner reached out and shook off Miaoshou Kongkong's hand that was pulling on his clothes, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how you specifically operated when you caught ducks, but I would never count wrong. The few times I failed, the first time, you gave me minus one duck out of six; the second time, you gave me zero ducks out of seven; the third time, you gave me two ducks out of nine; the last time, you only gave me one duck in total out of eight. I also want to ask you what's going on. If you don't want to help me catch ducks, don't mess with me!"
"How is that possible? When did I give you what you said?" Miao Shou Kong Kong felt that the boss was trying to coax him. He counted on his fingers and recalled, "The first time, I brought you an ordinary duck and a golden duck; the second time, I brought you a black duck and a golden duck; the third time, I brought you two black ducks and a golden duck; the last time, I brought you three ordinary ducks and a golden duck. Is there anything wrong with the number you reported? You obviously made a mistake in the calculation and you don't admit it!"
Quibbling, this is clearly quibbling! The duck farm owner was furious and shouted, "When did you bring a golden duck? You always bring a green duck, okay? What are you trying to imply? I tell you, my wife and I have a love that is stronger than gold, and no one else can interfere! Or are you color blind and can't tell the difference between gold and green?"
Empty-handed: "..."
The players who were watching with great interest were like: "..."
To be honest, this duck farm owner knows a lot!
Although the owner of the duck farm confiscated all the ducks handed in, his explanation was well-reasoned and he also gave what he thought was a reasonable explanation. Looking at his expression, his face was natural, his eyes did not flicker, and he also showed a hint of grievance, and he did not look like he was lying.
Except for Miaoshoukongkong, all the other players present leaned towards the duck farm owner and cast sympathetic glances at him.
The boss is miserable, the boss is crying!
Miaoshoukongkong was completely stunned. He had never expected that the answer he was waiting for would be this. This made him doubt involuntarily. Was he really dazzled or suddenly suffering from golden green blindness?
But this shouldn’t be the case…
Looking at the gold coin he had taken out specially in his hand, Miaoshoukongkong fell into deep thought.
Mistaking green for gold, anyone who hears about this would probably say it's outrageous.
The players around him exchanged passionate words in voices that they thought Miaoshou couldn't hear.
"This guy is so miserable. He didn't get any points for four times? There are only a few rounds in a game..."
"But this is really a bit strange. I was standing not far behind this guy twice and I also saw him holding a golden duck. But why did the boss say that the duck he saw was green? Who is the real color blind?"
"Is there any need to ask who is color blind? If it was the boss, why didn't the others make any mistakes? In my opinion, the problem lies with this guy. Could he have been tricked by someone?"
"Hmm...it's very possible that one of us disguised the green duck as a golden duck, and then tricked him into catching those disguised ducks, so that he couldn't get any points? But he only failed to get any points four times, so he only got a few dozen to a little over a hundred points, which doesn't seem to be any different from the total number of points for the three-day event. Is it that serious?"
"Hey? I was just thinking why this guy looked a little familiar, it turned out to be him! You don't know, when he had to submit eight ducks, I saw with my own eyes that the golden duck he caught had a few green hairs on its butt. It was so emerald green that I couldn't be mistaken. Compared with the golden color on its body, I am now more willing to believe that green is its original color. It seems that this big brother has really been tricked by someone, tut tut tut, who is so naughty..."
Is this a naughty question? The person who was plotting against him was so vicious! Miaoshoukongkong felt that he was a powder keg that was about to explode. A fuse and a few more sparks would probably make it explode.
But he thought about it and realized that he had offended many people in the village in the past month. It would be difficult to find the "murderer" who harmed him among these people. Moreover, if this was really revenge, he really had no reason to blame others.
Facts have proved that you really shouldn't offend too many people at once, because in this situation you won't be able to find out who exactly harmed you.
Watching Miao Shou Kong Kong weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, with his face turning pale green, Bai Qingning felt a surge of joy in his heart, and the depression that had been pent up for many days completely dissipated.
He was very careful when "delivering" ducks to Miaoshou Kongkong. He would prepare a new outfit every time, and even the means of "delivering" ducks to his door were different. Even if Miaoshou Kongkong recalled later and found suspicious people around him, he would never have thought that those four people were the same person, haha!
Previously, a player asked if such targeting was necessary, and Bai Qingning thought to himself that it was necessary! Although Miaoshoukongkong only lost a little over a hundred points, he at least got his revenge. From now on, he wouldn't have to grit his teeth in anger when he thought of the food that was stolen over the years.
Although he doesn't take revenge immediately, he still has a strong ability to remember grudges. After what happened today, he and his neighbor have finally made peace.
As for the few green hairs on the duck's butt mentioned by another player... Bai Qingning shrank his neck quietly. It was also his fault. He didn't expect that the golden dye would be so irresistible. When he painted the last duck, the dye was almost gone and he almost couldn't paint the whole body.
Fortunately, only a few hairs were missing. Miaoshoukongkong was also blind, he didn't notice such an obvious flaw, and he was to blame for not getting any points in the end, humph!
In the end, the incident was reported to the forum by players who were eager to see the fun. Although players from other villages also wanted to participate in the discussion in the forum, the most important thing for them at the moment was to experience the stand-alone version of the duck catching game.
Regardless of whether the players entered the "Cosmic Wandering" version of the duck catching map or the "Sound Wave Victory" version of the duck catching map, they all received a prompt from the system at the first time, asking them whether they would like their game process to be randomly captured by the exclusive live broadcast of "Your Ran Farmhouse".
