Chapter 405 Cliff
Zheng Yi was also very troubled by Zheng Er's "stubbornness".
But Zheng Er had a principle when telling fortunes: if he couldn't predict accurately, he wouldn't charge.
So far, he hasn't earned a single penny. Although he's not doing anything productive, at least he can't cheat anyone, so he turns a blind eye to it.
Zheng Yi coughed and said, "Second brother, we're discussing serious matters. You should go out first."
Zheng Er was not happy: "You guys talk, I'm not going to cause trouble. Can't I even listen in? Besides, we are honored guests, it is only right that I come and greet them."
He turned to seek approval from those around him and said to Sister Fang, "Sister, don't you think so?"
Fang smiled at him politely, but moved her body slightly closer to Zhao Lan.
Zheng Er suddenly took off his sunglasses and stared intently at Fang Jie: "Your forehead looks dark; you may be in for some bloodshed..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Shi, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed his collar and dragged him out, his voice filled with gritted teeth: "Second brother, I've recently become very interested in fortune telling, why don't you tell my fortune?"
Zheng Er was dragged out by Zheng Shi like a little chick.
Zheng Yi smiled apologetically: "My second brother is a bit eccentric, don't take his words to heart, he's just talking nonsense..."
Fangjie didn't take Zheng Er's words to heart. "It's okay, I understand."
She had met many fortune tellers before, and they all said the same thing.
First, they would solemnly tell her that she would suffer a bloody disaster that day; then, when she started to feel anxious, they would leisurely say that there was a way to avert it.
As for the solution, it is naturally to spend money to avoid disaster.
It's just a scam; she won't take it seriously.
Zheng stood up and said enthusiastically, "Let me show you around."
Fangjie waved her hand: "No need, thank you for your help during this time."
Rather than letting Captain Zhao worry about her outside, it's better for her to stay.
She realized that these people had truly reformed and would not do anything to harm her.
Zhao Lan: "Have you made up your mind?"
Fang Jie nodded, somewhat worried: "Yes, Captain Zhao, I think that Li Er is no ordinary person. Be careful in everything you do."
Zhao Lan: "I will."
Zheng Yi assured them, "Don't worry, we have people in our organization every day to make sure Fang Jie is well taken care of."
Sister Fang was afraid of causing trouble for others, so she said, "No need, no need for you to leave someone to look after me. Just go about your business."
Zheng Yi explained with a wry smile, "It's not that we're deliberately keeping people here. There are many people in our organization, but limited job opportunities. Many brothers haven't found jobs yet, so they can only stay in the organization to do some clerical work."
Fang Jie felt even more embarrassed, "I won't stay for free during this period of time; I will pay for it."
Zheng Yi quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying this to ask you for money. Just stay here as long as you want."
Fang insisted, "I'm the one who's troubling you. If you let me stay for free, I won't feel at ease."
After much persuasion, Zheng Yi finally relented and agreed to accept the accommodation fee.
Zhao Lan held Fang Jie's hand and said a few more words, nothing more than asking her to stay there, and then she left with Meng Qingyin.
After the two left, Zhao Lan said, "Letting Fang Jie stay at Zheng Yi's place is only a temporary measure. I need to find the other two as soon as possible. Unfortunately, only Zhang Yan has the ability to find them."
Meng Qingyin suddenly looked at her and asked, "Do you have any special abilities?"
Zhao Lan shook her head: "No."
Meng Qingyin found it strange: "Zhang Yan's ability is to change zones, and Lin Qian also has the ability to be immortal, but why do you, as a created being, have no abilities at all? This is too abnormal. Isn't the person who created you afraid that you will die here?"
Since that god wants Zhao Lan and the other four to help him awaken, he will definitely try to give them the ability to protect themselves. If any mistake occurs and any one of them dies, his plan will fail, right?
But why didn't he give Zhao Lan any abilities?
Was he too confident in Zhao Lan, or did he... simply not care whether Zhao Lan lived or died?
Zhao Lan had never thought about this question before, and she was also confused: "I don't know, could he have other intentions?"
Meng Qingyin had very few clues about that deity, so she had no leads.
She kept this question in mind, thinking, "Never mind, we already have a lot of questions, so one more doesn't seem to matter much."
After saying that, she thought of another question, "By the way, Fang is staying at Zheng Yi's place, so what about the daily driving mileage target?"
“Don’t worry about that,” Zhao Lan said. “The target mileage can be purchased with money or offset by exceeding the target mileage. I will just give her the extra mileage I exceed the target mileage each day.”
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, that's good."
Zhao Lan was silent for a moment, then sincerely said, "No matter what, thank you for Fang Jie's matter."
Meng Qingyin joked, "No need for thanks. If you have time, go farm the tower more often and help me farm some spider silk."
Zhao Lan replied seriously, "Okay, I'll go and swipe it now."
"Huh? I was just joking..." Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Lan was already gone.
Meng Qingyin smiled helplessly.
After Zhao Lan left, she continued to collect demonic energy resources.
The thought of how much pure demonic energy the Three-Pointed Blade would need to absorb to satisfy its desires sent a shiver down Meng Qingyin's spine, despite holding a fortune of 100,000 gold coins in her hand.
I'm really afraid that even 100,000 gold coins won't be enough. It feels like she's found herself a bottomless pit.
Despite this thought, the acquisition efforts continued unabated.
Suddenly, someone sent a message in the small group.
At first, Meng Qingyin didn't pay much attention, because Lu Cheng was an active member who often shared his experiences in the small group, most of which were useless nonsense.
Meng Qingyin was busy acquiring demonic energy resources, so she didn't open the window to take a look.
However, messages kept coming in to the group. Usually, Lu Cheng would only share a maximum of three things he saw and heard, but not like today.
Meng Qingyin clicked into the group to check.
I'm an unlucky player: "Have you all checked the chat? Lots of players are saying they've encountered a cliff and their vehicles can't move forward."
The elderly man said, "I encountered the same thing. It was a flat road, but suddenly the road ended, and there was a bottomless abyss ahead. Luckily, I stopped the car in time, or I would have fallen in!"
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "What's going on? We're farming towers."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "How did a cliff appear? Is there a bridge? Is it possible to cross it?"
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "He looks like the type who doesn't pay attention in class! According to what the old man said, there's definitely no bridge!"
The elderly man said, "Yes, there's no bridge. My car is parked right on the edge of a cliff. Which of you has better road conditions? I'd like to take another route."
I'm an unlucky person: "Grandpa, come to my place, I haven't found any cliffs here yet."
A moment later, the elderly man sent another message: "Things are not good. I can't travel on Fei Qiu's side of the road."
