Chapter 374 The Stingy Person and the Ungrateful One
Later on, everyone found the meal tasteless and bland.
The three-pointed dagger that had absorbed a large amount of demonic energy was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads. Although everything was peaceful at the time, no one could say for sure when it would erupt into a crisis.
After everyone left, Meng Qingyin, whose appearance had long since returned to normal, sat in the driver's seat, her eyes lowered in thought.
What were the reasons for the Ming and Qing dynasties taking away the three-pointed sword?
Regardless of her motives for taking the three-pointed knife, Meng Qingyin instinctively wanted to retrieve it.
As for why Qin Feng's father, Qin Zheng, forged this three-pointed sword, she thought the answer might come to light once the sword was recovered.
Because of this little incident, her and Zhao Lan's original plan to get Li Er drunk and extract information from him also fell through.
We'll just have to wait for another opportunity.
We still need to keep a close eye on Lear.
Just as she was thinking about it, Zhang Yan sent her a message, a voice message.
His voice rang with excitement: "I know how to win over Lear!"
Mengmeng: "...Stop with your unreliable little schemes."
Zhang Yan: "This time it's absolutely reliable, trust me!"
Meng Qingyin had a headache: "Just shut up, I'm begging you."
Don't make things worse and anger Lear instead.
Zhang Yan: "Hmph, you're mistaken. If you listened to my plan, you would be greatly shocked."
Mengmeng: "..."
Zhang Yan: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Even a strong woman can be won over by a persistent suitor'? I've decided to be Lear's devoted admirer; I refuse to believe she won't be tempted!"
Meng Qingyin was truly impressed: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'A simp who licks his boots will eventually end up with nothing'?"
Besides, given Zhang Yan's narcissistic nature, would he really be someone's lapdog?
Let's hope that he doesn't accidentally switch places with Lear while they're in the audience.
Zhang Yan: "Haha, you're really joking. But don't worry, I'll protect my body and mind."
Meng Qingyin: "..." No, who's worried about that?
Well, Zhang Yan's thought process is unusual; once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it.
Let him be.
He was, after all, the person Lear was looking for, so Lear probably wouldn't do anything to him.
As for Lin Qian, Zhang Yan and Zhao Lan both said she was the person in the prophecy, so why couldn't she see the prophecy?
Is she really unable to see, or is she lying?
We need to keep a close eye on her.
Every day, so many questions arose that Meng Qingyin had no idea how many brain cells she had lost.
She slept very soundly that night.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed.
While washing up, Meng Qingyin was thinking that Ming Qing's whereabouts were unknown, and finding the Three-Pointed Knife would not be so easy.
As for Lear, Zhang Yan has probably already begun his "sycophant plan," which is going to annoy Lear.
After much thought, all she could do for now was continue farming towers.
The sooner you clear the Tower of Babel, the faster you can leave this map.
After washing up, she sat down at the table with Qingfeng to eat breakfast.
Breakfast was rather light: steamed buns, tea eggs, millet porridge, plus some refreshing pickled vegetables that Qingfeng had made himself.
Meng Qingyin herself ate two baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two tea eggs, and a large bowl of millet porridge.
At the same time, Lear also received a "breakfast of love".
This "breakfast of love" was wrapped in a pink bag, and there was a note inside.
[Dear Miss Lear: This is a lovingly prepared breakfast I made myself. Eat it to start your day full of energy! Sending you love~ — Your admirer.]
Lear crumpled the note into a ball with a blank expression and threw the "love breakfast" into the trash can.
If she finds out who's acting crazy first thing in the morning, she'll skin them alive!
They've gone too far in flirting with her!
The system does indeed impose restrictions on them, preventing them from harming players at will.
but……
In the current situation, she is the one being harassed, so she naturally has the right to take action. Even if she kills someone, the main system will not punish her.
If she finds that person, she will show absolutely no mercy!
...
After breakfast, Meng Qingyin called Chen Leying, Qin Jiu, Tang Mian, and Lu Cheng to continue playing the Magic Tower.
This time, we'll start clearing from the forty-sixth floor. The monsters on this floor are demonized leeches, also known as bloodsuckers, which are soft-bodied insects that burrow into the skin to suck blood.
The mutated leeches are more than twice the size of ordinary leeches, and they wriggle as they try to crawl onto people.
Naturally, the group wouldn't let these demonic leeches get close. Amidst the flashing swords and clashing blades, the demonic leeches were chopped into several pieces.
Qin Jiu got goosebumps and went upstairs first: "I have a phobia of this thing."
She was bitten by leeches when she was a child, and she still remembers the taste vividly.
She walked to the top of the stairs in a few steps, but unexpectedly, a leech that had slipped through her net quickly leaped up and stuck to her calf, beginning to enjoy its meal.
The moment the demonized leech touched her skin, Qin Jiu felt its icy touch, followed by a sharp pain in her calf.
She froze, looking pleadingly at the crowd below the stairs: "Help!"
Lu Cheng reacted swiftly, shooting out a pear blossom needle with perfect force. The needle pierced the body of the demonized leech, but did not harm Qin Jiu in the slightest.
He rushed up the stairs and reached out to take the demonized leech off.
In just a short while, the demonized leech's body grew to twice its original size due to sucking blood.
Lu Cheng stomped him to death with a "smack," then pointed at Qin Jiu's head with a finger, looking at him with exasperation: "The demonic leeches on the stairs haven't been cleared yet, why are you in such a hurry to run?"
Qin Jiu, realizing she was in the wrong after being confronted, didn't argue back and said rather pitifully, "Oh."
Seeing her like this, Lu Cheng felt as if he had committed some heinous crime.
He glanced at Qin Jiu's calf and reluctantly bought a bottle of wound medicine from the Magic Tower Shop: "Take care of your wound first. Don't be so reckless in the future."
Qin Jiu silently sprinkled the medicine on the wound on her calf.
The wound healed in just one second.
Qin Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Cheng, your medicine is amazing! How can it be so effective?"
Lu Cheng thought to himself, "It cost me 200 gold coins, how could the effect be bad?"
His heart is still bleeding!
"Give it back to me when you're done." He snatched the medicine bottle back from Qin Jiu's hand and carefully put it away from the system inventory.
Seeing this, Meng Qingyin and the other two were speechless: "..." What an oblivious and clueless straight man.
Qin Jiu was so angry at his actions that she jumped up and down, all the emotion she had felt earlier vanished: "Lu Cheng, you're such a petty jerk!"
Look at how smoothly he snatched the medicine just now; anyone who didn't know better would think she was trying to monopolize that bottle of healing medicine!
Lu Cheng was so angry his nose almost twisted: "I'm a stingy person? If I were a stingy person, would I be willing to buy you such expensive medicine? Qin Jiu, you're the one who's an ingrate!"
"You stingy person!"
"Ungrateful wretch!"
"You stingy person!"
"Ungrateful wretch!"
Meng Qingyin and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Well, the three of them have become third wheels.
The three "light bulbs" very consciously moved to the next floor.
Before long, the stingy guy and the ingrate caught up with them, bickering as they farmed the tower.
Meng Qingyin and the other two felt as if they had just listened to a comedy routine, and they were all at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
