Chapter 421 Scarecrow, Chasing Sparrows
"No!" Ji Yunnuan exclaimed, "Xiaohan, Zhao Qingyuan will definitely find a way to kill you in the dungeon, so what you need to do is not to do the quest, but to stay away from Zhao Qingyuan and save your life!"
Lü Linke: "Yes, we'll survive in the dungeon, and then we'll figure out how to switch servers after we get back!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She was a little incredulous: "Sister, Lü Linke, have you given up so soon?"
How could Ji Yunnuan and Lü Linke, who have been here for so many years, become deserters?
Ji Yunnuan sighed, "Xiao Han, this instance is an encirclement and annihilation of us. It's already difficult to fight against the game. If it really comes down to it, it's okay to take a step back. As long as we're alive, we can always fight again!"
Lu Linyu also said softly, "Sister Xiaohan, Sister Nuan is worried about you. You must take care of yourself."
Ji Xinghan understood Ji Yunnuan's worries and could only comfort her, "Okay, sister, take care."
A notification sounded: [The soup delivery quest is complete. Please find Chef Zhang as soon as possible to turn in the quest!]
Ji Xinghan didn't want to go back; she wanted to see the bride.
[The soup delivery task is complete. Please return the task to Chef Zhang within 10 minutes, or you will be responsible for the consequences!]
[Please return immediately to complete the quest!]
The notification sound kept ringing.
Ji Xinghan had no choice but to go back.
These people all have fixed areas of activity, and if they don't have a mission, they simply can't leave those areas.
Even if there are tasks, there isn't much free time left after completing them.
Ji Xinghan had no choice but to quickly return to the kitchen and find Chef Zhang to hand in the task.
Cook Zhang was very satisfied: "Not bad!"
[Quest complete, you have obtained 1 Tranquilizing Pill!]
Holding the Qingxin Pill, Ji Xinghan looked at Chef Zhang hopefully: "Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Within her activity area, there is only one NPC who can interact with her and issue quests. If she wants to leave, she can only ask her for quests.
To everyone's surprise, Chef Zhang smiled and said, "Alright, go and start the fire."
Is there no more mission?
Ji Xinghan looked around anxiously. In the entire kitchen area, within her range of movement, the only people she could communicate with were Chef Zhang, Jin Baiwan, and Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Jin Baiwan only knows how to chop wood, while Zhang Xiaoxiao seems to have a lot of freedom, but there are very few NPCs she can interact with.
She could only focus her efforts on Chef Zhang.
Ji Xinghan tried to give her the pink and blue gemstones in her hand, but Zhang the cook just waved her hand.
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth and turned to Zhang Xiaoxiao, asking, "Do you have any really, really beautiful jewelry?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, her pupils darting around: "I..."
I couldn't bear to part with it once I saw it.
Ji Xinghan: "Hurry up and take it out, otherwise after 48 hours, Zhe Guang will gouge out your eyes, and I won't be able to save you!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. She quickly took out pink, blue, and red gemstones, and finally, after some stinging, she pulled out a golden pearl about the size of an egg, crying, "This is all I have..."
Golden pearl!
Huge gold beads!
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up; this thing was extremely rare!
Cook Zhang's eyes lit up, and she said warmly, "Little girl, the gold beads in your hand are really big. Can I take a look?"
The gold beads were just pretty and had no other use. Ji Xinghan handed the gold beads to Chef Zhang and said, "This is for you."
Cook Zhang took the gold beads, examined them carefully in her hands, and finally put them away, saying with a smile, "You two are such good children!"
Ji Xinghan heard the prompt:
Congratulations! Your popularity has increased by 5 points!
5 o'clock!
Ji Xinghan was shocked. This golden bead was really valuable; one could increase one's popularity by 5 points.
Good interpersonal relationships are Zhang the Chef's favorability rating!
Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise and whispered, "What's the use of having 5 points of popularity?"
Ji Xinghan messaged her privately, then nervously asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Cook Zhang chuckled: "There is one. I heard there are a lot of sparrows in the fields behind. Here, why don't you take some sticks and straw and build a scarecrow?"
[Cook Zhang's task—Build a scarecrow!]
[Task Details: Please build a scarecrow on the back hill to scare away the sparrows.]
[Quest Rewards: 1 Mind-Clearing Pill, 1 Muscle-Strengthening Powder!]
This task should be more advanced, as it should include not only the Mind-Clearing Pill but also the Tendon-Softening Powder.
The muscle softening powder can be used on NPCs.
She couldn't be picky about tasks, so she immediately accepted one, then took a stick and some straw and led Zhang Xiaoxiao to the back.
After walking through the kitchen for five or six minutes, then through the back door for another three or four minutes, they saw vast fields.
The wheat in the field had grown to ankle height, a lush green, and looked beautiful.
Further away are mountains.
Ji Xinghan tried it out, and her activity range increased again, which was this large area of farmland.
There were many sparrows in the wheat field. As they walked by, flocks of them flew up and landed. There were indeed quite a lot of them.
Ji Xinghan felt that these sparrows couldn't possibly eat this little bit of green wheat, so sticking up a scarecrow was pointless.
But it's just a task, why worry about too much?
Let's put the scarecrow up first, otherwise she won't have any treasure blind boxes when the mission time is up.
Ji Xinghan now has a clear goal: to finish the task quickly and see if the treasure blind box holds any surprises.
She poked the stick in and started tying straw to it.
I had only tied it halfway when I suddenly heard a clear singing voice: "My wheat, hey... lush and green, hey..."
A young man dressed as a farmer walked by happily carrying two buckets of water, singing as he went.
Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise: "Jiang... Jiang Shuangliang!"
Indeed, it was Jiang Shuangliang.
He looked so happy.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little incredulous and shouted, "Jiang Shuangliang!"
Jiang Shuangliang stumbled, and a bucket of water spilled onto the ground with a splash, flowing into the wheat field.
He cried out, "Oh no! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
He looked up, his expression fierce: "Who are you? What are you yelling about? Do you know what I'm doing? I'm carrying water over there, and if I spill water halfway, I'll be killed!"
Ji Xinghan asked hesitantly, "Are you Jiang Shuangliang?"
Jiang Shuangliang bent down and picked up the bucket, saying irritably, "Yes, yes, who doesn't know I'm Jiang Shuangliang?"
He muttered, "Thank goodness, I would have died if I had spilled five buckets of water, but I only spilled one, so I can still live."
He had barely finished speaking when suddenly, a man rushed over from not far away, holding a wooden stick, and yelled at the swarm of sparrows, "Go away, go away, go away!"
He rushed up to Jiang Shuangliang, kicked over another of Jiang Shuangliang's buckets, and swept past him.
He shouted, "Chase away the sparrows!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Jiang Yiming!"
The person chasing away the sparrows was Jiang Yiming.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shuangliang and Jiang Yiming acted as if they didn't know each other.
Jiang Shuangliang screamed, "Ahhh, another bucket of water spilled! I still have three lives left!"
Jiang Yiming rushed past and then dashed back; Ji Xinghan didn't even have time to call him.
Jiang Shuangliang was on the verge of tears. He quickly grabbed two wooden buckets and ran away. In less than five minutes, he returned with two more buckets of water, singing the same song.
Before Zhang Xiaoxiao could speak, Ji Xinghan quickly covered her mouth: "Shh, don't shout, Jiang Shuangliang only has 3 lives left!"
They didn't speak, but then Jiang Yiming rushed over from not far away: "Go, go, go, chase away the sparrows!"
Ji Xinghan's eyes widened: "Oh no!"
