Chapter 288 Searching for Luye, Are You a Coward?
Having finally obtained the information he wanted, Ji Xinghan couldn't wait to set off to find the person.
However, before looking for someone, we must first appease Madam Yingyue.
It's impossible to get Madam back to the Broken River Forest of Despair; as long as Madam's emotions remain stable during this period, that's enough.
She asked considerately, "Madam, if I have any news, may I come here to find you?"
Lady Yingyue nodded: "Alright!"
She hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the handkerchief she had just thrown on the table: "Take this handkerchief. If you encounter danger, give it to him. At least that way he'll know you were sent by me and will give you some face."
Ji Xinghan picked up the handkerchief and hurriedly took her leave.
She has to go find Luye!
This is also a difficult task, because Luye is an NPC and cannot be located; it can only be done by luck. However, ordinary players cannot encounter NPCs.
If you want to know about NPCs, you can only talk to them. Now, the gold coins you left in the RV will come in handy!
Ji Xinghan returned to the RV.
It's already evening, and Yuanbao is having dinner with Jiang Youyou, while Dabai is bonding with its kittens in the glass greenhouse.
Ji Xinghan let Wangzai and Dingdang out to play with Yuanbao.
Yuanbao loves small animals the most. After watching them play for a while, Ji Xinghan sat down next to Yuanbao, took out a small cake, and said, "Yuanbao, have you ever heard of a person named Luye?"
Yuanbao blinked and stared at the small cake: "No!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever seen a tall, big uncle with a slight limp in his left leg?"
Yuanbao licked his fingers, staring intently at the small cake: "No, Yuanbao has only seen Grandma Jinluo, Baoyuan, and Grandma."
Ji Xinghan was a little disappointed; Yuanbao was still too young and knew too little information.
Jinluo should be able to. Wait, Grandma, she has another grandma?
Ji Xinghan handed her the small cake and said, "How about this, you help me ask your grandma. If you can get news about Luye, I'll give you three more small cakes, okay?"
Han Xiaotian's cakes are miniature, no bigger than a child's palm. With Yuanbao's appetite, he could easily eat ten or eight.
Moreover, Han Xiaotian's cakes are very beautiful and always tempt Yuanbao.
Yuanbao happily took the small cake, ate a few bites, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go back and ask Grandma."
She paused for a moment, then asked pitifully, "What if I can't find out? Can I still come over for cake tomorrow?"
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment and decided to give Yuanbao some more motivation: "If you don't find out, you can only have one small cake tomorrow. If you do find out, I'll give you... three, no, five small cakes tomorrow. You can take them home and eat them!"
Yuanbao finished the small cake in a few bites: "Okay, I'll go back and ask. Goodbye, sister. Dabai, let's go!"
Big White flew out, and the man and the chicken walked away quickly.
Eager to know the news, Ji Xinghan poked her head out and said, "If you can be back within an hour, I'll give you two more small cakes!"
NPCs run very fast.
She saw Yuanbao ride on Big White, Big White spread its wings and took off, flying for a while.
Ji Xinghan glanced at the chat channel. Things had been alright lately. Although the Heartbreak and Ruthlessness virus was still there, it hadn't broken out. The Heart-Slaying Virus was also there, and Qi Xiangxiang and the others were chasing down players infected with it.
Finally, things calmed down for a while.
Ji Xinghan wasn't idle. Yuanbao might not be able to find out about Luye, so she had to make other preparations. But who else could she ask Luye?
Ji Xinghan shared some of his innate skills.
[Beep, Talent Sharing Activated!]
[You shared id8800****'s skill - Unpacking Master, and received a 4x bonus!]
Another unboxing master?
Ji Xinghan felt a sense of unease. She had opened several empty boxes in a row before. Would she have the same luck again today?
She nervously accepted the boxes.
[Open the wooden crate!]
[You've obtained...an empty chest!]
really!
Ji Xinghan frowned. What terrible luck had he had these past two days?
That's so weird!
She refused to believe it and collected several more boxes, opening five in a row, all of which were empty.
The master of opening boxes can get three times the resources, but now the boxes are empty, so isn't four times the amount still zero?
Ji Xinghan's face darkened. Now she was certain that someone was targeting her.
I just don't know what methods they used!
Who is secretly trying to harm her?
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment. She had too many enemies. Besides the few she knew by name and had met in person, there were countless beta testers hiding in the shadows, as well as the relatives of the players she had killed.
With so many enemies, she decided to count them one by one and see who was the most capable.
She immediately identified one person—Gongsun Ban!
She also suppressed Gongsun Ban's skills today; I wonder how effective it was.
Right, Ji Xinghan suddenly realized, how could he forget that Gongsun Ban was an internal tester, maybe he could know about Luye.
Go find him!
Regardless of whether the person who plotted against her was Gongsun Ban or not, she would go and settle the score with him!
Ji Xinghan asked the arson squad, "Does anyone know where Gongsun Ban is?"
Jiang Lingyue: "We haven't encountered any of them!"
Lu Gan: "We don't know either!"
Ji Xinghan sighed. Gongsun Ban really knew how to dodge.
Just as she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Xinghan glanced around and saw Yuanbao under the car. She immediately opened the car door happily: "Yuanbao, you're back..."
She saw a cold, expressionless face, definitely not Yuanbao's. Ji Xinghan was startled and blurted out, "Baoyuan?"
She wanted to close the door.
This is a strange and unpredictable child, unlike the sweet and adorable Yuanbao.
Bao Yuan looked at her coldly: "Yuanbao isn't coming!"
Ji Xinghan: "Huh?"
Baoyuan: "She inquired about someone she shouldn't have for the sake of a few small cakes. Her grandmother got angry and locked her up."
Ji Xinghan felt a chill run down his spine. Who were the people he shouldn't be asking about?
Kano?
According to Lady Yingyue, Luye hasn't appeared for a long time. Does he have some secret? Why can't we find out?
Ji Xinghan was filled with questions.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then it's my fault. Here's what I'll do: I'll take the small cake to Yuanbao and visit Grandma while I'm at it, to explain what happened."
Based on what Bao Yuan said, she could deduce that her grandmother knew about Lu Ye's whereabouts. She needed to go to Yuan Bao's house and try to get information out of her grandmother.
Bao Yuan said coldly, "You don't need to go. Grandma won't tell you about Lu Ye. If you go, she might get angry and lock you up too!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
Bao Yuan: "No one will tell you!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
Looking at Bao Yuan's cold little face, she couldn't help but tease, "Oh, I see. They're all cowards and don't dare tell me about Lu Ye. So, you..."
Bao Yuan: "I won't tell you either!"
Ji Xinghan: "Are you a coward?"
