Chapter 125 The Truth in My Heart
Yang Mingzhong still smiled as usual, walked to the opposite side, and helped Wen Nan pull out the chair. "I finished the image scanning task ahead of time. I thought it was still early and I had nothing to do, so I came here to have a cup of coffee to kill time."
Wen Nan nodded and waited for a moment. A middle-aged male voice that was almost indistinguishable from the one in reality came into his mind.
"I'm not young anymore, and I can't chat with the other young people in the guild. After completing the task, instead of returning to the refresh point in advance or chatting in the group, it's better to wander around the map by myself, which is more relaxing."
Wen Nan glanced at the small square table by the window in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Is it... just because of this?
"President?" Yang Mingzhong raised his hand and waved it in front of Wen Nan. "Any questions?"
Wen Nan came back to his senses, "Nothing, what did you just ask?"
Yang Mingzhong smiled again, "I asked you what you would like to drink, I will treat you?"
This store is included in the player's exploration map. When shopping there, the currency in the map is used and the gold coins in the player's account are not consumed.
Wen Nan didn't hesitate to sit down opposite him and ordered the newly launched duck shit-flavored hand-pounded lemon tea.
While waiting for the drinks to be made, Wen Nan said casually, "Mr. Yang, your scanning efficiency is very high. In such a short time, the number of props you found is more than that of all the other contestants combined."
"Just call me Mingzhong," Yang Mingzhong smiled shyly, raised his hand and touched his shiny forehead, "If Gu Jinxing and Hu Jiayao hadn't been in trouble, they would definitely have found more people than me."
'I just have a little more experience.'
Wen Nan waited for a while, but apart from this last sentence, he didn't hear any more words.
Wen Nan had no choice but to follow the other party's words and continue asking: "You are familiar with this picture? I saw that last time under the table over there, the rose prop was in such a tricky position, and you were able to dig it out."
"Oh, that's just luck, I just happened to bump into him." Yang Mingzhong said, and laughed twice.
Wen Nan was silent again, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any response.
This Yang Mingzhong...his mental activities are even more taciturn than he appears on the surface.
Wen Nan smiled and said, “I thought you had been to this picture before.”
"Haha, President, you're joking." Yang Mingzhong picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
'Why hasn't the lemon tea arrived yet?'
"Can you hurry up and ease this awkward situation?"
"Ah, it's finally here, great."
The NPC clerk came over with a tray and placed a cup of iced lemon tea and a straw tissue in front of Wen Nan, "Sir, this is the duck shit fragrant hand-pounded lemon tea you ordered, please enjoy it slowly."
Wen Nan took a look at the system——
9527: [Your skill, Mind Reading, remaining effective time: 14:32——]
In the blink of an eye, the remaining time of the mind-reading skill was less than half.
After the clerk left, Wen Nan quickly returned to the topic: "Thank you for the rose last time. It was very useful."
"You're welcome. It's what I should do."
"It didn't help much. From what I can see, the clearance level barely improved after sending the rose."
"Before entering this primary copy, what other maps have you been to?"
"I only passed one trial map, which was an amusement park-themed one. It was much thinner than the current map in terms of content and had very few characters. I cleared it very quickly."
Wen Nan looked at the other person silently. His mind was quiet and he heard nothing.
"Only one picture?" Wen Nan asked.
"Well, it's just the primary copy now after all," Yang Mingzhong said, looking at Wen Nan and asked, "President, have you passed many copies?"
"Yes, they are all players who can afford to buy guild quotas. With such strong funds, they must have passed many maps."
9527: [Your skill Mind Reading, remaining effective time: 6:47——]
In this meaningless struggle, the effectiveness of mind reading is about to run out.
Wen Nan did not answer the other party's question, but instead said in a serious tone: "Mingzhong, you are now a member of the [Wen Na] Guild. I think, as the president, I still need to know more about the situation of the new members who have recently joined."
Yang Mingzhong nodded vigorously, "I understand," and then said, "What does the president need to know?"
"Are you an old player who deleted his account and started over again?"
Wen Nan went straight to the point, made his point clear, and then stared at Yang Mingzhong's face.
Yang Mingzhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head, "President, stop joking, that seems to be an operation that only advanced players are qualified to do, right? How can a rookie like me have a chance to do it again?"
As he spoke, he looked back at Wen Nan steadily, his eyes showing no surprise, hesitation, or fear.
That slightly rough middle-aged male voice sounded in Wen Nan's mind -
'Earlier in the game lobby, I heard a rumor that One Night Nine Times Lang was a newly associated account of a certain legendary boss, and that he came to the fish pond specifically to fry fish. I wonder if it's true or not?'
9527: [Your skill, Mind Reading, has ended and is now entering the cooldown period.]
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After 30 minutes of chatting, nothing was revealed.
But this time, Wen Nan did not complain at all about the short time of mind reading. On the contrary, he even regretted using his skills and Tears of Flowers on the other party.
Because Wen Nan was now certain that no matter how many questions he asked, he would never be able to get the answer he wanted from the other person's inner voice.
Yang Mingzhong, he is deliberately controlling his thoughts.
The inner voice that Wen Nan read was also false.
This is almost impossible for ordinary people, but if a person is mentally strong and has undergone some special training, Wen Nan guessed that it should not be difficult.
Obviously, when Yang Mingzhong guessed that Wen Nan was coming, he activated his [Mind Reading] skill, and he knew that Wen Nan was doubting him.
Accompany him to perform for half an hour?
Wen Nan chuckled softly.
This man is much more difficult to deal with than his simple-minded CEO.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Mingzhong took the initiative to ask: "President, is there anything else you want to know?"
Wen Nan smiled, picked up the lemon tea calmly, took a sip, and frowned, "This tea is really sour, bitter and astringent..."
Seeing this, Yang Mingzhong laughed and said, "The hand-pounded lemon tea without sugar really tastes like this. It's normal to feel uncomfortable drinking it the first time."
Wen Nan raised his hand and touched the rim of the other person's cup with his fingertips, "What did you order?"
Yang Mingzhong: "Their signature specialty coffee tastes good. President, would you like to try it? I'll order another cup for you."
Wen Nan shook his head, "Forget it. It's so late now. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night if I drink coffee."
Hearing this, Yang Mingzhong pushed the menu in front of Wen Nan and asked, "How about a decaffeinated drink?"
"Okay." Wen Nan lowered his head and studied the menu carefully.
Yang Mingzhong picked up the coffee cup boredly and took a sip.
9527: [It is detected that you have used the prop - truth serum on another contestant, Yang Mingzhong.]
9527: [The item is taking effect, please wait...]
9527: [The prop was used successfully! ]
With his elbows on the table, Wen Nan moved closer to the other person and asked, "Yang Mingzhong, why do you want to delete your account and start over?"
Yang Mingzhong's fingers tightly grasped the coffee cup, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "In the southeast corner of this map, at the very edge, there is a place that has been blocked for many years..."
