Chapter 442 A Mission: Finding Sunflowers
Ji Xinghan activated the autopilot and went out again.
This time, she deliberately went further afield, circling around and around, but unfortunately, just like the previous days, she couldn't even encounter a decent beast.
It was very calm.
It was so peaceful.
She walked for a long time but couldn't see a single person.
The daily "task master" is practically useless.
Ji Xinghan became anxious.
This won't work. Since taking the initiative isn't working, let's just cause trouble!
She asked the arson squad, "Has Zhao Qingyuan been found?"
Jin Baiwan: "No, everyone thinks Zhao Qingyuan has a lot of treasures. Ever since she was expelled from the Justice Alliance, many people have been secretly looking for her, but no one can find her or locate her."
Ji Xinghan then asked Jiang Wuyong, "Can your clairvoyance find Zhao Qingyuan?"
Jiang Wuyong: "No!"
He added, "Many people have tried various methods, but no one has been able to find Zhao Qingyuan."
Ji Xinghan pondered. This was strange. Even if Zhao Qingyuan could hide herself, her car was very conspicuous on the road, so someone was bound to run into her, right?
Surely Zhao Qingyuan wouldn't have been walking alone on the same road for so many days?
The chances are there, but they're extremely low!
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xinghan released Dingdang, Wangzai, and Baozhu, saying, "Take a look around and tell me if anything seems amiss."
She dismounted from the flying crane, and after taking just one step, the flying crane beside her vanished like smoke and dust.
That's all?
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment and realized that it was about time; Feihe should be scrapped.
Ji Xinghan looked around and a thought struck him: this place seemed familiar.
This is near Yuanbao's home. She was just wandering around and ended up here.
I'll just go visit an old friend.
Ji Xinghan lifted his foot and walked forward. After walking for a while, he saw Yuanbao's fence.
She took two more steps, and the fence creaked open as a little girl stepped out.
The little girl looked at Ji Xinghan with an icy expression: "You're here again?"
It's Baoyuan!
Ji Xinghan recognized him immediately.
She chuckled and said, "Yes, but I'm looking for Yuanbao. Is she home?"
Bao Yuan said coldly, "She's not home, and neither is Grandma. They've gone visiting other people's homes and haven't been home for the past few days. There's no one to play with you."
Are they all not home?
Ji Xinghan was a little disappointed. Looking at Bao Yuan's cold little face, she joked, "They're not home. Why don't you play with me?"
Bao Yuan replied coldly, "No!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She asked hopefully, "Baoyuan, Yuanbao and Grandma aren't home. What will you eat? Do you want me to cook for you? Or is there anything you need? You can tell me and I'll take care of it for you."
Bao Yuan was the only NPC she encountered in the past few days.
She wanted to extract a task from the task.
Unfortunately, Bao Yuan replied coldly, "No!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
Forget it, I can't say!
"Chirp chirp!" Baozhu flew over from not far away and landed on Ji Xinghan's shoulder, chirping and complaining, "The puppy bit me, chirp chirp, it wants to eat me!"
Ji Xinghan held it in his hand and stroked it: "Okay, I'll teach it a lesson for you!"
Wangzai is such a troublemaker. Ever since he met Baozhu, he's been teasing her every day, either chasing her relentlessly or pouncing on her and grabbing her in his mouth. Ji Xinghan has beaten him up several times because of this.
Ji Xinghan knew that Bao Yuan was too lazy to talk, so he turned around and left.
Suddenly, Bao Yuan's voice came from behind: "I'll play with you!"
Ji Xinghan turned around abruptly, clutching the little bird in her hand, her face full of vigilance: "This little bird has no meat, you can't eat it!"
Bao Yuan rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't eat it!"
She walked over, reached out, and gently touched the top of Baozhu's head.
Ji Xinghan was very nervous.
Bao Yuan is cold-blooded and ruthless; she was afraid it would tear the bird apart with its bare hands.
Fortunately, Baoyuan showed a rare gentleness and softly asked Baozhu, "Would you like to play with me?"
Baozhu stretched out her little beak and pecked Baoyuan's palm: "Chirp chirp, melon seeds, melon seeds!"
Ji Xinghan translated: "Baozhu wants to eat melon seeds."
Bao Yuan tilted his head, deep in thought.
Taking the opportunity, Ji Xinghan said, "How about I go find some melon seeds for you, and you play with Baozhu for a while?"
Bao Yuan pondered for a moment, then pointed east: "Okay, just keep walking in this direction for about an hour, and you'll see a field of sunflowers. Go and get a ripe sunflower."
A notification sound plays:
[Baoyuan's mission: Harvest a ripe golden sunflower!]
[Task Details: Baoyuan wants you to obtain a ripe golden sunflower and has given you its exact location!]
[Task Reward: A smiley face for you!]
[Task Penalty: I'll give you a cold shoulder!]
Do you accept?
Ji Xinghan: ...
Good news, I finally managed to scrape together a task.
Bad news, there's no reward for this task!
However, as long as there was a task, she was fine with it. She was bored anyway, and she also wanted to know what the sunflowers Baoyuan wanted were for.
It's definitely more than just eating sunflower seeds.
Ji Xinghan: "I accept!"
Just as she was about to leave, Baoyuan handed her a small lantern and said, "If you encounter fog, just turn on the lantern."
Ji Xinghan took it.
[Mist Lantern: This is a small lantern that can penetrate the mist and repel evil spirits. Carrying it will ensure your safety.]
Ji Xinghan put away the lanterns and called back Wangzai and Dingdang: "Which of you two is coming with me, and who's staying here?"
Although she had a mission, she was afraid that Bao Yuan might get upset and roast Bao Zhu, so she needed someone to keep an eye on him.
Wangzai immediately understood and barked twice, "Woof woof, me me me."
Ji Xinghan: "Okay!"
Although Wangzai chases Baozhu around every day, it's clear that it really likes Baozhu. It's also quite strong, so keeping it around to protect Baozhu is the best option.
After giving Wangzai some instructions, Ji Xinghan led Dingdang eastward.
Even without the Flying Crane, she still had Swift as the Wind. She slapped a card and ran away at lightning speed.
After walking for about half an hour, she saw a sparse grove of trees, shrouded in mist.
She took out her lantern, carried it, and walked into the woods.
After walking for about ten minutes, the fog dissipated, and she saw a stream, a small hill, and vast expanses of green grass.
I didn't see any sunflowers.
She was wondering what was going on when suddenly she heard voices.
"Zhao Qingyuan, you...you lied to me again!"
Zhao Qingyuan?
Zhao Qingyuan!
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed. She quickly dodged to the side and hid behind a big tree, looking ahead.
Zhao Qingyuan was standing by the stream, holding a long sword in her hand, the sword covered in blood, which dripped into the stream.
She lowered her head, a sinister smile spreading across her face: "I lied to you? Didn't you lie to me too? We're even!"
Ji Xinghan then noticed a person lying in the stream.
A middle-aged man, dressed in black and covered in blood, stained the nearby stream red.
The man struggled to sit up: "Zhao Qingyuan, you...you will die a horrible death!"
