Chapter 474 The Compass
Meng Qingyin took the Heart of the Night Demon and left the Tower of Babel without looking back.
Ye Yingjun was dumbfounded. Didn't they agree to chat with him more?
Why did you just take the things and leave?!
He sat on the jeweled chair, hugging himself tightly in sorrow.
Suddenly, a voice came to his mind: "Deputy Chief, the Chief asked me to tell you that she has very important things to do today, and she will come to the tower to see you after she finishes."
Ye Yingjun was initially delighted, but then asked with some confusion, "Who are you?"
There are too many Night Demons; he can't possibly know every single one of them.
The reply came from the other end: "I am Night Peach Blossom, one of the Night Demons you sent to protect the leader."
Night-blooming peach blossoms? I don't recall.
"Oh, I remember you. Do a good job, Ye Lihua, and don't let me down," Ye Yingjun encouraged her.
"...I am Peach Blossom."
"Okay, Peach Blossom. I'm busy now, I'll hang up."
Without a word, Ye Yingjun severed the connection of consciousness.
Night Peach Blossom was somewhat bewildered.
As far as he knew, the deputy leader was sealed in the Tower of Babel, right?
What's there to be busy with? Counting ants?
Oh well, he doesn't understand the adult world anyway. I'll just focus on doing my own job well.
Night Peach Blossom happily reported to Meng Qingyin, "Chief, I have conveyed your words to the Deputy Chief."
"You did a good job." Meng Qingyin nodded, then contacted the elderly man and explained that she wanted to make a deal with Granny Jinxiu.
The elderly man said, "Okay, then come over here. I'll send a message to Jinxiu right now, and she'll definitely be happy to trade with you."
Looking at the old man's words, a question suddenly popped into Meng Qingyin's mind.
Why do NPCs like Granny Jinxiu and Ah Chen need the Heart of the Night Demon?
The Heart of the Night Demon is the heart of the Night Demon race. They want the Heart of the Night Demon, which means that players can obtain their hearts by killing Night Demons.
Could it be that the mastermind behind this is trying to weaken the Night Demon race through the players?
Just as she was thinking about it, the elderly man sent her a message asking her to come over, saying that Grandma Jinxiu had already gone over.
Meng Qingyin immediately teleported to the Spiritual Grandpa's location.
Grandma Jinxiu was very warm towards her: "My performance depends entirely on you. What do you want to trade this time?"
Meng Qingyin handed the Heart of the Night Demon to the Spiritual Elder, and then said, "This time, the Elder will make the deal with you."
She wanted to make sure that Kim Soo's mother-in-law wouldn't do what she did last time.
Grandma Jinxiu didn't refuse: "I'm fine with anything, but are the supplies you two urgently need the same kind?"
Meng Qingyin and the old man exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly: "Right now, I'm afraid all the players in the entire 30th district urgently need the same kind of supplies: gears."
Grandma Jinxiu remained noncommittal: "Then let's begin."
With a gentle wave of her hand, a shop appeared in front of the elderly man.
Meng Qingyin stared intently at Granny Jinxiu, afraid of missing even the slightest change in her expression.
Grandma Jinxiu asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like I'm a thief?"
Meng Qingyin thought to herself, "Isn't it just to guard against thieves?"
However, this thief is not Granny Kim Soo, but the god behind her who controls Granny Kim Soo.
Grandma Jinxiu looked at Meng Qingyin with an open and honest expression, showing no sign of anything amiss.
The elderly man, however, said, "Little Meng, the shop hasn't refreshed its inventory with gears..."
Meng Qingyin was startled. Could it be that the God Lord had made a move again?
But she kept an eye on Grandma Jinxiu, and there was nothing suspicious about Grandma Jinxiu's expression.
However, the old man's next words reassured Meng Qingyin: "But a very uniquely shaped compass has appeared. It seems like it can find gears. Should I buy it?"
The gear didn't appear, but a compass that allows you to find the gear did.
"Sir, why don't you buy the compass?" Meng Qingyin said.
If this compass can find gears, then it's useful.
Even if the compass is useless, the old man still has to buy it before he can close the store interface.
Soon, the elderly man had a compass in his hand.
Meng Qingyin asked Granny Jinxiu, "Why do they put compasses in the store instead of gears?"
Grandma Jinxiu: "I don't know either, maybe the gears are a bit unusual."
Meng Qingyin didn't dwell on that and looked at the compass.
In addition to a pointer indicating direction, the compass has an electronic screen at the top, with a line of instructions in very small print next to it.
[Enter the item you are looking for, and the compass will guide you. Note: This compass is a one-time use item; it will disappear after guiding you to the item.]
Meng Qingyin did not hesitate and entered the gear icon.
Immediately, numerous search results for gears popped up, including industrial gears, vehicle gears, and so on, which was dazzling.
After searching carefully for a while, Meng Qingyin finally learned about the gears, the raw material used to make car air conditioners.
Click to confirm, and a red dot appears on the compass dial, with the pointer pointing in the direction of the red dot.
That red dot should be the gear they're looking for.
However, the gear is located at the rear.
Then we'll have to use a teleportation card.
However, if a teleportation card is used, a new problem arises: they don't know where to teleport to.
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment and came up with a bold idea: "Perhaps we can have a relay race to find the gears."
There are 150,000 players in Zone 30. Surely one of them is somewhere near the gear?
"Have other players help you find it. Just trade the compass to them. That's the quickest way."
The elderly man hesitated for a moment: "But... what if someone gets greedy, uses the compass to find the gears, and then resells them to us at a high price?"
Meng Qingyin didn't refute, but said, "The players in District 30 are united after going through one test after another. I can't guarantee that every player is completely selfless, but this is indeed a high-stakes gamble. If we win, it means that we players are trustworthy people. If we lose, we will suffer some losses, but we will also see through some people. So, to gamble or not to gamble?"
The elderly man said, "Then let's gamble! I also want to see if we human players can truly come together."
Their enemies have never been humans, but other races.
Faced with such a formidable foe, there is no chance of victory for human players if they do not join forces to defend against it.
Trust between people is not innate, but is built up through repeated cooperation and mutual assistance.
Any opportunity that can promote human solidarity should be seized.
Meng Qingyin shared this idea with Chen Leying and others, and they all agreed.
Meng Qingyin sent a message in the chat area: "I have a [Compass] that can find the gear, but the gear is behind me and I can't drive there, so I'm looking for the player closest to the gear. Anyone want to join?"
In District 30, no one can rival Meng Qingyin in terms of influence.
As soon as she posted the message, the players responded enthusiastically.
