Chapter 460 Finding People
Meng Qingyin arranged to meet Granny Jinxiu at the Tower of Babel, where Chen Leying, Qin Jiu, and others were also present.
Grandma Jinxiu glanced at the elderly man, then asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask to meet me here? Are you trying to make a deal with me?"
“It’s not a transaction. It’s a quiet place here, a good place to talk,” Meng Qingyin said with a smile.
Grandma Jinxiu joked, "You're all looking at me so seriously. I thought there was something wrong with my product and you wanted to return it."
Meng Qingyin then asked, "Can we return it?"
Grandma Jinxiu smiled and said, "No, my products are special; once sold, they cannot be returned or exchanged."
Meng Qingyin's purpose was not to return the goods to Granny Jinxiu, so she was not disappointed when she heard what she said.
She sighed and got straight to the point: "Mother-in-law, this new map is incredibly difficult to find. Why did you say it was simple back then?"
Grandma Jinxiu was clearly taken aback: "What? Did I say that?"
How could she not remember?
Meng Qingyin had been observing the expression on her face. The astonishment on Granny Jinxiu's face just now was genuine and not an act at all.
Meng Qingyin guided her to recall what she had said at the time: "Yes, you also said we were very lucky. You saw the contents of the new map unlock card back then, right? What was it? What made you think it was simple?"
Grandma Jinxiu frowned as she tried to recall what she had seen, but her mind went blank.
After a moment, she shook her head blankly. "I'm sorry, I'm probably getting old, and my memory isn't what it used to be. I really can't remember what I saw back then."
Meng Qingyin's gaze darkened.
This happened this morning; even if Grandma Kim Soo has a bad memory, she shouldn't have forgotten.
It seems there really is someone interfering.
The elderly man asked again, "Jinxiu, I felt something was off about you this morning. We had agreed to have a few drinks together after the transaction, but you left without even looking back."
Grandma Jinxiu was even more confused: "I did make an appointment to drink with you, but I didn't drink with you later? Look at me, I'm really getting senile."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
In the end, Meng Qingyin didn't ask anything more.
Clearly, Grandma Jinxiu's memory of that period has been erased, and you won't get anything out of her if you ask her again.
After Granny Jinxiu left, Chen Leying said, "It seems to be the work of some deity. Could it be the same one who wanted to kill you?"
"Who knows?" Meng Qingyin shrugged. "Anyway, he's helpless against us and can only resort to these petty tricks to hinder us."
"So what should we do next?"
Meng Qingyin shook her head, her tone slightly helpless, "I don't know either, but let's tell everyone to stop catching the white geese; it's just a waste of energy."
Qin Jiu felt a pang of sadness. "Are we really powerless against those deities? Are we just supposed to let them run rampant?"
Meng Qingyin patted her shoulder, "Sooner or later, we will become a powerful force that they will fear."
Lu Cheng also patted Qin Jiu's head, "Don't be so pessimistic, you forgot we still have a secret weapon."
Qin Jiu looked up at him: "What secret weapon?"
Lu Cheng: "Zhang Yan has a lot of amazing gadgets. Maybe he'll have some amazing gadgets this time that can help us get through this difficult time."
"Does Zhang Yan really have such a prop?" Qin Jiu wasn't as optimistic as him. "Even if he does, he's not in District 30 right now, and we can't contact him."
Lu Cheng was momentarily speechless, having forgotten that point. "That's true. We can't contact him right now. We can only wait for him to come back, but by the time he returns, the new map activation card will probably be invalid."
After pondering for a moment, Meng Qingyin said, "I do have an idea; perhaps we can find Zhang Yan."
Everyone stared at her.
Meng Qingyin pointed upwards and said, "I'll take you to see Ye Yingjun."
Lu Cheng was puzzled. "How could he contact Zhang Yan?"
Meng Qingyin smiled but remained silent.
The group arrived at the top floor.
Ye Yingjun sat listlessly on the jeweled chair, resting his chin on one hand and closing his eyes as if dozing off, resembling a beautiful woman falling asleep.
Upon seeing him for the first time, Lu Cheng exclaimed, "No way? He's the leader of the Night Demons?"
The ugly-looking Night Demon is actually such a handsome guy?
Qin Jiu couldn't help but exclaim, "So handsome! No wonder he's called Ye Yingjun (meaning 'Handsome Night')."
Lu Cheng stood in front of Qin Jiu, blocking her view, and said in a sour tone, "Qin Xiaojiu, you think I'm dead when you say other men are handsome in front of me?"
Qin Jiu pushed him away: "I have the right to appreciate handsome guys... He woke up, wow, his pupils are turquoise, so cool."
Ye Yingjun walked slowly to Meng Qingyin, his face beaming with joy: "My lord, you've arrived!"
Meng Qingyin asked, "I remember you can contact the Night Demons outside, right? Can you contact all the Night Demons here?"
Ye Yingjun nodded: "That's fine. Although I can't contact the Night Demons on Night Orchid Star, I can contact all the Night Demons here."
Meng Qingyin: "Very good, then contact the Night Demons and ask them to help me find a player named Zhang Yan."
Ye Yingjun glanced at the sky outside the tower. "We'll have to wait until after sunset. We Night Demons are afraid of light."
Night Orchid Star has no sunlight, so the Night Demons are naturally afraid of light.
Meng Qingyin: "Then let's wait until after sunset to look for them. You should notify them now."
Although time is of the essence, this matter cannot be rushed.
Now all we can do is wait patiently.
Ye Yingjun: "What are the characteristics of that player? Please describe them in detail so that the Night Demons can find him more easily."
Lu Cheng couldn't help but interject: "He's easy to find. Just tell the Night Demons to find an extremely narcissistic muscle man."
This time, Ye Yingjun did not ignore Lu Cheng. Instead, he said in a very friendly manner, "Okay, I understand."
Lu Cheng was used to being ignored by Ye Yingjun, so he was somewhat flattered by Ye Yingjun's sudden friendliness.
Having resolved this matter, Meng Qingyin was now facing a headache about how to explain the encyclopedia to the players.
Everyone was initially full of hope, thinking that they could leave the map as long as they worked hard to collect all the goose illustrations. But now they are being told that 150,000 people need to participate to succeed, which inevitably disappoints them.
We don't even know if Zhang Yan has any items yet. Even Meng Qingyin herself can't guarantee that they can leave this map, let alone guarantee it for the players.
At this moment, Fei Qiu said, "I've already told the other players about the encyclopedia. I understand that everyone is disappointed for a while, but I believe that everyone will cheer up soon."
The chat area is now full of sarcastic remarks, which come from players who are unwilling to leave the map.
