Chapter 221 Secret
Qinjiu is very ordinary, and its performance is not good. It is the kind of product that would blend into the crowd and be easily lost.
She was very independent at a young age. While her peers were still clamoring to go to amusement parks, she was already standing on a small stool to cook for her father and daughter.
The first time she cooked, she accidentally added too much salt. Her father slapped her: "You put so much salt in your cooking? Salt is free! You're more trouble than you're worth!"
Her face burned with pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
What should we do? She seems unable to do anything right.
From then on, she became self-conscious and cautious.
When she grew up, she had a very ordinary job as a salesperson for a company. It was busy, tiring, and the salary was not high.
My cousin, who is the same age as me, married a wealthy businessman who is quite well-known in the area because of her good looks.
She, on the other hand, was so busy with work that she didn't even have a boyfriend.
This made her father feel even more embarrassed, and he urged her to find a man and get married as soon as possible, saying that she should stay at home and take care of her husband and children instead of earning so little money each month.
He even arranged blind dates for her; the woman was widowed with a son, old enough to be her father, and her only advantage was that she was rich.
She naturally wouldn't agree.
The last time she saw her father, he was still berating her: "Qin Jiu, why do you always mess everything up? How could I have given birth to a daughter like you who makes everything I do go wrong?"
Qin Jiu blinked. Although she was very reluctant to admit it, she had to admit that her father cared more about his image than about her.
No, or rather, her father didn't love her at all.
But it doesn't matter. When she was little, she longed for her father's love, but now she no longer expects it.
She has the Phoenix Cry Blade, and like-minded friends like Boss Mengmeng and Chen Leying.
They never thought she was useless.
The Phoenix Cry Blade trembled slightly, emitting a clear, ringing sound.
Qin Jiu gripped the hilt of her sword, her mind made up, and her tone was no longer hesitant: "Fengming, fight alongside me."
...
Qin Jiu accepted the medal. Since she had nothing to repay Meng Qingyin with, she asked Meng Qingyin what supplies she needed most right now.
Meng Qingyin didn't stand on ceremony with her: "Expand the space."
Actually, her current system backpack has 75 slots, and since she doesn't put food in them, the slots are enough.
But Meng Qingyin knew Qin Jiu's personality; she wouldn't accept the medal for nothing.
So she took the opportunity to say that she needed more space to expand, so that Qin Jiu could accept the medal with peace of mind.
After sending out the medal, Meng Qingyin brought up the topic of the zoo admission tickets in the group chat.
Mengmeng: "I have a zoo admission ticket. It requires a group of five. I plan to go first thing tomorrow morning. Who wants to go? But it doesn't give much information, and I'm not sure if it's dangerous."
I'm a lucky person (poor person's version): "I didn't expect there to be a zoo here! Are there NPCs managing it? Will the animals attack tourists? If I fight back and accidentally hurt an animal, will they sue me?"
I'm an unlucky person: "You're thinking quite a lot."
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "These are all potential risks! Zoos usually have tigers and lions, right? Are there any protective measures for visitors? I can't guarantee I can kill a tiger."
Chen Leying: "@Mengmeng, I'm going."
I'm unlucky: "I'm going too!"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I'm not going. I'll see if any players encounter a troop of monkeys tomorrow."
I'm a lucky person (poor guy version): "I'm going too."
The elderly man said, "I have an appointment with Grandma Jinxiu for drinks tomorrow morning, so I won't be going."
Mengmeng: "Okay, I'll add another person from the chat area in a bit."
I am a non-European: "Brother Qiang, Zhou Haihai, and Liu Huozhe, these three players are new from other servers. They are all unreasonable and bloodthirsty. Don't add them."
Mengmeng: "Okay."
Meng Qingyin opened the chat area and sent a message: "[Zoo visit ticket] We need one more person. If you want to come, DM me."
The chat area was busiest at night, and this message immediately drew the attention of the players.
Scattered memories: "Zoo admission ticket? There's actually a zoo here?"
Manxun Lin Chunfeng: "What's the use of this visitor ticket? It doesn't say there are any rewards or tasks."
|The Magician Under the Moonlight|: "That's an item that Boss Mengmeng got, so it must be pretty good. It's a pity my skills are too poor, so Boss Mengmeng probably wouldn't be interested. Otherwise, I would have applied and given it a try."
zzas: "Don't underestimate yourself, upstairs. It's just visiting the zoo, it doesn't involve any real strength, right? Anyway, I've messaged the big shots privately. It would be great if I could be selected, but it doesn't matter if I'm not. The main thing is to have a sense of participation."
Qingli is not a green pear: "If that's how you put it, then I'll have to overestimate myself for once."
Brother Qiang: "@Mengmeng, team up with me. Nobody should try to take me from you."
The moment this nickname appeared, the players fell silent.
Meng Qingyin didn't even look at the messages in the chat area. Ever since she posted the message to form a team, players have been sending her private messages one after another.
Among a sea of ​​unfamiliar nicknames, she found a familiar name: Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan: "Group me! Group me! I love animals the most!"
Meng Qingyin narrowed her eyes. Perhaps this was a good opportunity to get to know Zhang Yan.
Mengmeng: "Okay, but I need to see your sincerity."
Zhang Yan: "You didn't say you wanted 'sincerity' just now, did you?"
Mengmeng: "Otherwise, why would I choose to team up with a stingy person like you, when there are plenty of players who offer me gold coins to join their teams?"
Zhang Yan: "...It's just a visit to the zoo. We don't even know if we'll gain anything. If I give you supplies and it's just a zoo visit, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
Meng Qingyin did not reply.
He begged to join the crew, so if he wanted to join, he had to show sincerity.
She didn't believe that the "zoo admission ticket" was really just for visiting the zoo.
Zhang Yan must have thought the same thing, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to message her asking for a group.
Sure enough, Zhang Yan changed his tune when he sent the next message: "Alright, alright, tell me what you want?"
Mengmeng: "Seed collector."
She didn't ask Zhang Yan about the district transfer anymore; he wouldn't tell her anyway, so she figured she might as well seek some practical benefits for herself.
Zhang Yan: "That thing is so precious, how could I possibly have a second one? I'll get something else."
Mengmeng: "Or can you tell me how the seed collector was obtained?"
The merchant Lear has always been interested in the origin of the Seed Collector. If she could find out the origin of the Seed Collector, she would have an advantage in cooperating with Lear.
Zhang Yan replied with just two words: "Secret."
Meng Qingyin's gaze darkened.
This Zhang Yan seems to have many secrets.
She suddenly remembered that letter again.
