Chapter 126: The Master of the Harem
The border of this map? The southeast corner? The blocked area?
This answer quickly raised many questions in Wen Nan's mind, but he did not ask more questions. He just stared at the man in front of him silently and listened carefully to what he said.
Then Yang Mingzhong continued to speak at a steady pace:
"That place is about ten kilometers away from here. It used to be a barren land that was almost undeveloped. As for now... I guess there should be a lot of NPCs guarding it. They are the highest level NPCs equipped with the best equipment. It has become very difficult for players to break through the blockade."
So what? What does this have to do with you deleting your account and starting over? As soon as this question popped up in Wen Nan's mind, he suddenly realized what the other party was doing -
9527: [Your item, truth serum, remaining effective time: 5——]
9527: [Your item, truth serum, remaining effective time: 4——]
Click.
The metallic clanging sound of the lighter lid opening was heard.
Then, Yang Mingzhong lit up a cigarette that he had been holding between his teeth for some time.
9527: [Your item, truth serum, remaining effective time: 1——]
9527: [The validity period of your item, Veritaserum, has expired and is now entering the cooldown period. Please be advised.]
Taking a deep breath, Yang Mingzhong exhaled the white smoke with a satisfied look on his face, then looked at Wen Nan again, "Where were we talking just now? Oh, yes, the president asked me why I deleted my account and started over again?"
At this point, Yang Mingzhong laughed twice and shook his head, "President, stop joking. When you asked me just now, didn't I already tell you that I'm not an old player who deleted his account and started over? Didn't you forget so quickly?"
Wen Nan stared coldly at the face of the middle-aged man opposite him without saying a word.
Yang Mingzhong obviously knew that Wen Nan had used the Veritaserum on him. According to the setting of the prop, during the use of the Veritaserum, the target must be forced to answer a question. He drank the coffee with the Veritaserum in it, so he had no choice but to answer Wen Nan's question.
However, this item has another limitation - it is only effective for 60 seconds.
He had to answer Wen Nan's questions and couldn't lie, but how to answer was up to him.
He tried to delay the 60 seconds as long as possible and gave Wen Nan a seemingly irrelevant truth.
If Wen Nan wanted to ask further, how this related to his question about the motivation for deleting the account and starting over, that would be another question.
Wen Nan didn't have the time or the money to force the other party to tell the truth.
If you want to use the [Veritaserum] again, you can only wait until the next main quest begins.
Now that he knows for sure that Wen Nan has the Truth Serum, will Yang Mingzhong still drink the drink that Wen Nan has touched without any precautions like he does now?
Thinking of this, Wen Nan's eyes turned gloomy.
Yang Mingzhong noticed the other person's expression and said, "President, do you dislike people smoking? Sorry, I sometimes forget when I get excited about chatting."
As he spoke, he put out the cigarette he had just taken two puffs of into the ashtray on the table and smiled at Wen Nan.
Wen Nan stopped playing along with the other party, leaned back in his chair with a calm expression, and simply said: "You came here for a different purpose, we all know this, there is no need to pretend.
"You are very experienced, I was careless just now.
"But don't forget that we signed a contract - you are a member and I am the president. You can use tricks to deceive me now, but if the next main mission starts, I, as the president, issue you a mission requiring you to take the [Truth Serum] and talk to me, can you still take advantage of the loophole like you did this time?"
Hearing this, Yang Mingzhong's smile faded.
After a moment of silence, he looked back at Wen Nan's eyes seriously and spoke again, his tone becoming much more sincere:
“Whether you are willing to believe me or not, Guild Master, although I have my own goals, I have no ill intentions and will not do anything that would harm the interests of the Guild or you.
"I just wanted to come here and say goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door of the cafe was pushed open, and the waiter immediately greeted him at the door: "Welcome! What would you like to drink?"
The petite figure who walked in came straight to Wen Nan's side and asked, "Brother, are you really here?"
Wen Nan turned around, and the moment he saw Qiqi, a smile immediately reappeared on his face, "Why did you come here?"
Qiqi pouted, "I made dinner and sent you a message. I wanted to wait for you at home, but the food was getting cold and I didn't get a reply from you. I asked Xiaojun and she said you were in the cafe over here, so I came over."
Yang Mingzhong stood up and said to the two of them with a smile, "I'm leaving first. I won't disturb you guys."
Wen Nan wanted to say something else, but Qiqi grabbed his wrist and pulled him out the door. "Let's go, brother. If you don't go back, the food will get cold!"
Wen Nan was helpless. As he was dragged to the door by the other party, he whispered in Yu Shujun's ear: "Watch Yang Mingzhong. If you have any questions, report to me at any time."
"Yes, master." Yu Shujun responded in a low voice.
…
…
Half an hour later, sitting at the dining table in the rental house, looking at the table full of "food", Wen Nan was silent for a moment.
It's obvious that Qiqi's cooking skills were learned from her aunt Lin Xuemei.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Seeing that Wen Nan didn't move his chopsticks, Qi Qi took the initiative to pick up a dark brown strip from a basin of light yellow liquid and put it into Wen Nan's bowl.
"Brother, don't just stand there, eat it while it's hot."
Wen Nan picked up that one and stared at the steam coming out of it.
Looks like it. Very similar.
"Come and try my cooking!" Qiqi looked at Wen Nan with anticipation.
Wen Nan is a wolf-killer. At this time, he naturally would not back down. He put the stick into his mouth and chewed it while sighing: "My cooking skills are better than Aunt Mei's!"
Qiqi was satisfied, pursed her lips, giggled, and put two more pieces into Wen Nan's bowl, "Then eat more, brother!"
Wen Nan held the bowl and changed the subject: "Where are Wang Jialing and Sun Yi?"
Qiqi had her mouth full of food and spoke vaguely, "We're all back to school. I've helped you deal with yesterday's incident. I made three rules with them and we've reached a peaceful and friendly agreement.
"From now on, Sun Yi will come over on the nights of Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Wang Jialing will come over on the nights of Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We will take turns sleeping with each other this way, and we will never fight again like before."
...Serve|sleep?!
Do you really think this is his harem?
Wen Nan looked at Qiqi's round face helplessly and teased, "That's really it. Thank you, General Manager Liu."
A strange look flashed across Qiqi's face, but she quickly suppressed it, smiled again, and waved her hand, "It's my duty to share His Majesty's worries, it's my duty."
I thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Wen Nan's unintentional words planted a small seed in Qiqi's heart, which soon gave rise to resentment.
That night, Wen Nan was lying on the bed, lost in thought.
Qiqi, wrapped only in a thin bath towel and barefoot, climbed onto Wen Nan's bed.
She had just come out of the shower, with steam still coming out of her body. She leaned towards Wen Nan, and the water droplets on the ends of her hair fell one by one onto Wen Nan's chest.
"Brother," her voice trembled slightly, but she looked up at Wen Nan with a firm gaze, "I want to stay by your side forever. I don't want to be the chief steward, I want to be... the master of the harem."
