Qin Che was quite curious about Chen Dianyuan.
In the simulator, he was his own benefactor, but at this moment and in this place, he has become Chen Dianyuan's benefactor.
"Tell me, why did you become a bounty hunter?"
Chen Dianyuan: "Save money, let's go home!"
"Where is your home?" Qin Che asked with a smile.
Chen Dianyuan abandoned his wife and children to become an adventurer and ran away alone. Many years have passed, his home is long gone, and his wife has remarried.
In the previous simulation, Qin Che only found Chen Dianyuan's only son later on.
Because he had to go to war, he entrusted his daughter to Qin Che, an adventurer who had inherited Chen Dianyuan's will.
Two generations apart.
Qin Che eventually accepted Chen Dianyuan's granddaughter as his apprentice.
He raised her as if she were his own daughter.
Years later, this apprentice also successfully inherited Qin Che's will and continued to travel north to search for the ruins of the First Empire, never giving up throughout his life.
really,
Upon hearing Qin Che's question, Chen Dianyuan did not speak, but simply shook his head.
"What does the esteemed person want me to do?" Chen Dianyuan asked.
“I had people investigate you. You used to be an adventurer, experienced and have been to many places, so I’m very curious about you.”
Wu Ming was standing at the door when he heard this, and nudged Wei Tuozhi beside him: "What's your background?"
Wei Tuozhi shook his head: "Lord Qin did not order the intelligence department to investigate this person."
Wu Ming was taken aback.
Wei Tuozhi whispered, "Could it be someone we know?"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes.
On the sofa, Qin Che once again asked Chen Dianyuan to sit down.
He had no choice but to sit carefully opposite Qin Che, behaving fairly naturally, though he seemed a little awkward.
"To be honest, adventurers are good at keeping records. I'd like to see your traveler's log. Is that alright?" Qin Che got straight to the point.
Anyway, even if they exchange pleasantries, they don't know each other.
Chen Dianyuan could not possibly be completely open and honest with himself.
In the previous simulation, when Chen Dianyuan passed away, he handed his log to Qin Che.
Later, Qin Che became an adventurer by referring to the records in the log.
However, it was still system version 1.0 at the time, and many things in the text simulation were unclear.
Qin Che wanted to see it for himself.
Chen Dianyuan hesitated for a moment...
The logs are not important.
But the adventurer's log is an extremely important thing.
This is their livelihood, their rice bowl; how could they easily give it away to someone else?
Adventurers are adept at exploiting 'information gaps' to gain intelligence and treasures, and to uncover ruins unknown to others.
Therefore, adventurers are now as numerous as hairs on a cow in the wasteland, giving rise to many related industries.
Excavation of the ruins is a major part of this process.
After all, no one can escape the influence of information asymmetry.
Adventurers travel extensively, covering vast distances over decades, so they know more than you do.
There is another trade now, which is to spend money to buy and collect adventurers' logs.
In particular, some wealthy people in academia, and even financial tycoons, are extremely interested.
I've heard that one of the pillar industries of the World Merchants Association is the excavation of ruins. They use their vast financial and material resources to purchase and collect adventurers' logs, locate the coordinates, and excavate ruins. They have unearthed many valuable items from the Old World.
Some adventurers, upon retiring, will try to sell their logs for a good price.
Its importance is self-evident.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Qin Che smiled and said, "I'll pay for it."
Chen Dianyuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I have no intention of retiring at the moment. If you are interested, please wait until I retire, and I can sell the logbook to you separately."
Qin Che leaned back on the soft sofa: "I don't want money, I know what you want..."
He smiled enigmatically, “I can help you find your family. You have three days. If you exceed the deadline, I will give up buying your diary. But if I do find them, I hope you will sell the diary to me.”
Chen Dianyuan was taken aback, his pupils contracting slightly.
He was over fifty years old.
Half a lifetime of wandering has worn away my pioneering spirit.
Chen Dianyuan said he didn't want to retire, but was just leaving himself a way out.
He has not yet found his family.
He wanted to go back and reunite with his family.
At that time, he will no longer travel, but settle down somewhere peacefully until the end of his life.
After wandering for so long, he realized that home is the warm harbor.
Qin Che, who was standing to the side, also noticed the change in Chen Dianyuan's temperament.
In the simulator, Chen Dianyuan only left a dying wish: to find his family.
But at this very moment, Chen Dianyuan had already begun to think about going home.
Qin Che had no idea what he had been through all these years, nor was he curious.
But he knew where Chen Dianyuan's family was, so there was no need to investigate. He gave them three days because that was more reasonable.
Important people value their time; it's already quite generous of them to dedicate three days to helping you.
Chen Dianyuan did not ask for much.
Even if he can't be found, I would be extremely grateful.
Naturally, he wanted to sell the logbook to this important person.
But Chen Dianyuan remained wary. Why was this important person suddenly treating him like this?
The two were not familiar with each other.
Qin Che could tell he was very wary, so he said, "Come back here in three days and I'll tell you the result. Whether you find it or not, I admire you, which is why I wanted to help you. There's really no reason; just think of me as someone who's bored."
Chen Dianyuan: ...
I have nothing to say.
Those nobles in Polaris City were indeed all leisurely people.
But he had never seen anyone as strange as Qin Che before.
