Wangcai's daily routine is to visit people, do things for free, and eat and drink for free, but Chongming and Wudu's daily routine is to complete the commissions of various people, work diligently to make up for the deficit of the Salted Fish Sect, and offend some people slightly by the way, paving the way for the Salted Fish Sect's bad reputation in the future.
Chongming has now settled in a new place and continues to be the mysterious and weird owner of Wanwu Tower.
Although his name and the distinctive half mask have been spread in the world, only a few people have seen him in person. As for Chongming, the owner of Wanwu Tower, people have only heard of him but never seen him.
Bu Zao is quite satisfied with the current situation. Chongming's personality is not suitable for dealing with people, so there is no need for irrelevant people to meet him.
Most of the people who can meet Chongming are important figures who are closely related to the goal of "the world's largest sect".
Recently, there is always a guest who comes to visit Chongming's new residence without permission.
"Baby likes this tassel!"
The middle-aged man with heavy makeup and two patches of bright red rouge on his cheeks shouted so, his tone was innocent and lively, full of childishness.
Bu Zao:.
He looked at the lively and energetic masters in front of him with an expressionless face, and had a clear understanding of the distance between the game and reality.
Xue Baobao, also known as Xue Xiaoren, is the younger brother of Xue Yiren, the "World's No. 1 Swordsman". When he was a teenager, he became obsessed with swordsmanship and became crazy and stupid. Since then, he has called himself "Xue Baobao" for more than 40 years, and no one knows Xue Xiaoren anymore.
Of course, this is just a superficial story. In fact, Xue Xiaoren felt a lot of pressure because of his brother's excellence and severity. He pretended to be crazy to escape the pressure.
In order to prove that he is not inferior to his brother, who is the world's number one swordsman, he established a killer organization. Zhongyuan Yidianhong, the world's number one killer, was trained and taught by him personally.
Seven years ago, when Wudu landed under the guise of Wudu, he met the boss Xue Xiaoren who was hiding his face and identity. Bu Zao believed that Xue Xiaoren had not forgotten the child seven years ago, especially after Zhongyuan Yidianhong reported Wudu's identity to him, he probably had a deeper impression of Wudu, a colleague who was stealing his business.
It's a pity that the person in front of Xue Xiaoren now is Wudu's senior brother, Chongming. "Hey, big brother, are you really going to give it to me?" Xue Baobao asked doubtfully while holding the red tassel. Bu Zao
didn't even look at him and nodded: "Yes." Xue Baobao held the tassel, as if it was stuck in a shell, and the cat-like makeup well concealed the expression on his face. …Why are you, the owner of Wanwu Mansion, so easy to talk to? Xue Xiaoren discovered that a new resident had moved into this remote, deserted courtyard four days ago. When he saw the mask with delicate patterns on half of his face and his figure that was very consistent with the legend, Xue Xiaoren guessed that this person was the owner of Wanwu Mansion who was rumored to be so famous. It is well known that the second master Xue of Xuejiazhuang is a fool. No one cares where he goes, so he often comes here to visit Chongming, and no one pays attention. Xue Xiaoren has been visiting every day these days, and everyone would be annoyed by him, but Chongming is cold and indifferent. Xue Xiaoren knows how weird he is in the eyes of others, but when Chongming saw him for the first time, he didn't even look surprised. "Thank you, big brother! I want to give you a return gift!" Xue Baobao said happily, looked around, ran to the tree and plucked a bunch of grass, then turned back and approached Chongming, wanting to wave his hand to scatter grass. To be honest, the players of "Simulation Jianghu" all have a consensus, that is, Xue Xiaoren has been pretending to be a baby for so many years, even if he is not really crazy, he is a little crazy. Bu Zao stretched out his hand to twist Xue Xiaoren's wrist. Although Xue Xiaoren pretended to be stupid, he did not pretend to be a waste. He immediately fought back and started fighting with Bu Zao. Back and forth, you advance and I retreat, broken grass fragments flew everywhere, and the fragrance of grass and trees filled the air. Bu Zao could no longer bear it and slapped Xue Baobao in the face. In this fight, Xue Xiaoren didn't know the details of Chongming, so he took action just to test him. The same was true for Bu Zao. After all, generally speaking, no one would be cruel to a fool. So both of them are on point. Xue Xiaoren was slapped. He was startled at first, and then got angry and shouted: "How dare you hit the baby!!" "You are the one who is being hit." Chongming had a hand stained with rouge, and twisted Xue Xiaoren's sleeves to wipe his hands with a look of disgust. Xue Xiaoren's clothes were a bit old and even patched, and he didn't look like the second boss of Xue Family Village at all. "Baby is angry!" Xue Xiaoren yelled, "Baby hates you!" That slap was nothing at all, it was not painful or itchy, but it was indeed worthy of Xue Xiaoren's anger. "I hate you, too." After wiping his hands, Chong Ming looked at him coldly, "Don't you think you're annoying?" Bu Zao was happy to spend time with Xue Baobao, because when Xue Xiaoren finds out in the future that Chong Ming knew that he was playing dumb from the beginning to the end, he will realize that he is a joke in Chong Ming's eyes. He is looking forward to Xue Xiaoren's reaction at that time. At this time, Xue Xiaoren was angered by Chong Ming's cold words. Most people would not mess with a fool. They would ignore him, stay away from him, and dare not bully him because of his identity. But Chong Ming didn't care at all, his tone was serious and very heartwarming. This man actually asked a fool if he thought he was annoying. Xue Xiaoren was amazed and felt that Chong Ming was more annoying than him. "I hate you! Go to hell!" Xue Baobao angrily raised the broken grass on the ground. Chongming picked up the iron shovel beside him and chased him: "Go, go, go." Xue Xiaoren was pushed to the point where he had nowhere to hide. He couldn't even reach the young man who was the length of the iron shovel. Chongming used the iron shovel as a long stick. Xue Xiaoren saw some tricks in it and had some estimation of Chongming's strength. "Baby hates big brother!" Xue Xiaoren left with a lot of anger after saying these harsh words that had no shocking power. "Go away and don't come again." Chongming slammed the door shut. [Dear player... the above behavior is actually just out of your bad taste, right?] The system combined the recent styles of the players' various vests and roughly figured out Bu Zao's logic.
In fact, he didn't need to play around with "Xue Baobao". Chongming's character was very reasonable even if he ignored Xue Baobao.
Of course, paying attention to Xue Baobao was also in line with his character, but it was not convenient and easy.
[Yes.] Bu Zao admitted it bluntly. [Very interesting, right?]
The system didn't say anything.
[The system expressed doubts about the player's logic.]
Bu Zao picked up the broom to sweep the grass debris on the ground. Xue Xiaoren was very good at pretending to be stupid. If he was not a player who knew the plot, he would probably be fooled. After all
, this guy is an acting genius who has fooled his own brother who he lives with day and night, as well as several people in the villa.
*
Xue Family Villa.
Xue Yiren is admiring the sunset.
The sky is full of sunset glow, and everything under the mountain is covered with a layer of warm gold in the afterglow.
Since retiring, Xue Yiren hasn't drawn his sword for a long time. He stopped, but the world of martial arts keeps on flowing, and there are new things every day.
Xue Yiren looked distant, standing on a high place, his figure as quiet and deep as a stone sculpture.
Just as he was reminiscing about the past, a figure flashed in the afterglow. Xue Xiaoren looked down and saw his silly brother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walking into the courtyard from the archway in the yard below.
His body was covered with green grass debris, and his face was messily made up.
Xue Yiren: "..."
He could see clearly that the messy make-up on his brother's face was definitely wiped off by someone's hand. It was more like a slap.
Even though they lived in the same villa and were close family members, Xue Yiren and Xue Xiaoren had met very few times over the years.
Maybe it was to escape, maybe it was out of guilt, Xue Yiren rarely took the initiative to pay attention to Xue Xiaoren.
But since he saw it this time, he couldn't ignore it.
Xue Xiaoren met his brother, and his brother asked him: "Who did it?"
... Xue Xiaoren pretended to be stupid: "I don't know what big brother is talking about!"
It would be strange if he didn't know. Xue Xiaoren couldn't figure out why his brother suddenly remembered to care about him. It didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't care.
"Did anyone bully you?" Xue Yiren asked.
"No one can bully the baby!" Xue Xiaoren understood, and the makeup on his face was wiped off by Chongming's slap - his brother is still so sharp.
Xue Yiren and "Xue Baobao" usually have irrelevant conversations, and their mode of getting along is confusing. Xue Xiaoren fooled it and slipped away as if escaping.
Xue Yiren looked at his back, a piece of red tassel was exposed from Xue Xiaoren's waist, fluttering in the wind.
The next day, Chongming heard a knock on the door and opened the gate. Xue Yiren was standing at the gate, looking at him sharply.
- Chongming's skills are too versatile. He has collected everything that happened in Xuejiazhuang, but Bu Zao still has some small opinions about Xue Yiren coming so quickly.
He was actually very happy that Xue Yiren came, which meant a good opportunity to brush up his impression points - but he really just slapped him lightly.
Xue Yiren is definitely not a person who protects his shortcomings, but maybe like Xue Xiaoren, the two brothers find it unbearable to be slapped.
Chongming invited Xue Yiren to come in and take a seat.
"My brother seems to have been slapped by you."
"I gave him the ear of corn, and he messed up my yard and wanted to weed me."
"..."
"I know who you are." Chongming lowered his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "Keep an eye on your brother, he is quite annoying. Master Xue."
Master Xue also thought the young man in front of him was quite annoying.
But Xue Yiren was also very annoying when he was young, and he acted arrogantly and cruelly, and was known as the "bloody man", so he didn't care about Chongming's words.
"In that case, I can't care about him anymore." Xue Yiren said, "You, the Wanwu Building, know everything in the world, but do you know if there is a doctor who can cure stupidity?"
[Ding! Side quest: Master Xue's request]
[Quest description: Stupid brother. Distant relationship. Painful past. Master Xue recalled the past and thought of the years when he and his brother went through thick and thin together. Can you find a doctor who can cure stupidity for him and reconcile the two brothers?]
→ [Accept] or [Reject]
What a ghost.
Bu Zao was speechless. Is this also a variable caused by the existence of the vest
? The original plot of the game does not have the mission of Master Xue looking for a famous doctor. Don't release a plot mission where players know the whole story.
Bu Zao thought about it and clicked to reject.
Chong Ming said mercilessly: "A wound to the brain can't be repaired by talking. Don't you think he actually likes being a fool?"
Xue Yiren frowned and said: "How can a fool have self-awareness?"
Although he said so, he was really happy when he thought of his brother when he was stupid.
Chong Ming smiled strangely, without responding, just said: "Maybe there is such a doctor, but I don't want to help you find it."
"Why?"
"No reason, I don't do meaningless things, nor do I do things I don't want to do. "
Xue Yiren's aura suddenly became fierce, but Chongming remained unmoved, still looking nonchalant. The silver mask covering half of his face showed his cold and dismissive attitude.
The two sides confronted each other in silence.
The task box did not pop up again, which meant that Xue Yiren gave up the publication commission.
Perhaps he himself knew that curing his brother's stupidity after several decades would be a waste of time.
