Chapter 227 Extraterrestrial Life Forms
Meng Qingyin looked at the two sheets of paper and memorized every word on them.
Then she burned the two letters.
Only by completely destroying it can the possibility of Zhang Yan discovering it be eliminated.
She closed her eyes, trying to recall the thought that had crossed her mind just moments before.
Zhangyan, abilities, area switching, items...
The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, a guess forming in her mind.
Zhang Yan's ability is to switch zones, and every time he switches zones, he gets valuable items.
That kind of seed collector...
Could this be how it was obtained?
What is the reason for Lear's curiosity about the seed collector?
Who exactly is Zhang Yan? Why does she feel he's more than just a player?
Meng Qingyin suddenly had a plan in her mind. Perhaps she could take advantage of some information gaps to get some information from the merchant Lear!
Lear had always wondered how she obtained her seed collector, hadn't she?
Then she would just tell her directly and see what Lear's true purpose was.
Just as she was thinking about how to subtly reveal this information to Lear, Lear transferred money to her again.
Besides transferring money, she kept asking, "How exactly did you obtain your seed collector?"
Like a personal computer.
This was exactly what Meng Qingyin wanted to hear, but she couldn't answer immediately.
After all, she had been adamant about not answering the question before, so her sudden change of heart would definitely make Lear suspicious.
Mengmeng: "We've been working together for so long. If I wanted to tell you, you would have known long ago. Why do you keep asking?"
Merchant Lear: "It's fine if you refuse, I'll keep asking anyway. I have plenty of patience, and sooner or later you'll give up and tell me."
Mengmeng: "I'm really scared of you... But I can't tell you how to get the seed collectors, that's my secret. If you want to rent more seed collectors from me to make money, I can't guarantee there will be more."
Merchant Lear: "So the seed collector is yours, and you didn't buy it from another player? How can you prove it's yours?"
Mengmeng: "I don't need proof, because it involves my secret. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Perhaps you can think about it: which player would be willing to sell such a valuable item?"
Merchant Lear: "If it really is you..."
She only said half of what she meant, and Meng Qingyin guessed that Li Er was judging the truthfulness of her words.
Meng Qingyin was not in a hurry at all, and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.
It took a full three minutes for Lear to continue.
Merchant Lear: "I will help you awaken unconditionally."
Meng Qingyin stared at the sentence, her brain working at a rapid pace.
Help her wake up?
What is being awakened? Memories?
Zhang Yan's identity is indeed not that simple; he actually needs the NPC Lear to "help him awaken."
After saying that, Li Er stopped talking. Meng Qingyin was afraid that saying too much would give her away, so she resisted the urge to ask and closed the chat box.
Her gaze fell on Zhang Yan's portrait.
He has changed his profile picture to a photo taken at the zoo, in which he is shirtless, showing off his sculpted physique, while the monkeys stare at him with fervent eyes.
Not only did he change his profile picture, but he also added a personal signature: "A good figure should be shown off confidently."
Meng Qingyin had no idea when the system had added these random functions.
But Zhangyan...
The secrets surrounding this person seem to be getting more and more interesting.
Suddenly, there were messages in the group chat again.
The elderly man said, "I suspect that life on Earth isn't the only one involved in this game."
Meng Qingyin was startled.
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "Sir, did you see an alien?"
The elderly man said, "No. Didn't I have a drinking appointment with Grandma Jinxiu this morning? She mentioned it unintentionally when she had too much to drink. She mentioned other life forms, and I suspect that there is life on other planets here as well."
The elderly man said, "I wanted to ask her more questions, but she was too drunk to speak."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "I thought you were going to have a twilight romance, but I didn't expect you to sacrifice yourself to get information. My apologies! But do aliens really exist?"
The elderly man said, "I didn't mean to get information out of you. It was just a coincidence. Besides, this is a game, and nothing is absolutely impossible."
Chen Leying: "Granny Jinxiu is an NPC, so she definitely knows more inside information than we do. Perhaps there really are other life forms involved in the game."
Drinking strong liquor to drown my sorrows: "But I haven't heard anyone in the chat room say they've encountered any alien life forms..."
Mengmeng: "Those night demons...could they be alien life forms?"
I'm an unlucky player: "Hiss... Night Demon doesn't really look like a creature native to Earth, but if it were truly an alien life form, how could it become a monster in the game?"
Chen Leying: "I remember that the traveling merchant's goods can only be traded for Night Demon Hearts. Gold, silver and copper coins are the common currencies in the game, so why does the traveling merchant insist on Night Demon Hearts?"
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "My God, Chen Leying's words suddenly gave me a sudden realization. I've never thought about this before: why do traveling merchants only want the Night Demon's Heart? What use does the Night Demon's Heart have to them?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "So, the Night Demons are very likely alien life forms? Is this game using us to kill those Night Demons?"
Mengmeng: "It's not impossible. Sir, could you please try to get on good terms with Granny Jinxiu? Maybe you can uncover some other truths."
The elderly man said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
I am the lucky one (poor man's version): "Oh no, I feel like my brain is not working properly. Zhang Yan alone has already made me rack my brains. If an alien life form comes along, I feel like my brain is going to crash."
Mengmeng: "Don't think too much. The Night Demon can't harm us for now. Just focus on surviving and improving your strength, and live to see the day when the truth comes out."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "That's right! Becoming stronger is the most urgent task. Enough said, I'm going to practice my sword."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "It's already noon, who is Qin Jiu trying to kill with this?!"
Qin Jiu didn't return; she went to practice her sword.
The group chat returned to calm.
Meng Qingyin felt a throbbing sensation in her temples after receiving so many messages that morning.
She ate a simple lunch, let the little elf continue driving, and rested in bed for an hour before feeling much better.
Whether it's Zhang Yan or an alien life form, we must investigate the truth step by step. You can't get fat in one bite; we must calm down and take it slowly.
In the afternoon, Meng Qingyin spent another three hours at Li the blacksmith's house forging weapons.
After listing the newly crafted weapons in the trading hall, Meng Qingyin glanced at her account balance: 19 gold coins, 79 silver coins, and 28 copper coins.
She's become so rich without us even realizing it.
Having money, she wanted to spend it. She wandered around the trading hall, wanting to buy some useful items.
Unfortunately, all the items in the trading hall are listed by players themselves; good items are kept for their own use and are never listed in the trading hall.
As for other supplies, she doesn't lack them for the time being.
Meng Qingyin is currently rich but has nowhere to spend her money.
However, during dinner that evening, Li the blacksmith inadvertently mentioned some news that made Meng Qingyin feel that her opportunity to spend money had arrived.
