Chapter 451 Reading Words and Expressions, The Absent Person
Ji Xinghan silently poured a bowl of colorless and tasteless liquid for the handsome uncle... Well, actually, she added a lot of ingredients to it, and made sure Jin Baiwan tasted it. Now Jin Baiwan is wiping away tears while drinking water to get rid of the taste.
It's said to be both spicy and bitter, and quite unpleasant to drink!
The middle-aged man, oblivious to anything amiss, thanked him again with utmost politeness and then took a small sip.
Ji Xinghan saw that the handsome uncle's face immediately turned red.
He kept his mouth shut, staring at Ji Xinghan in shock.
Ji Xinghan blinked. At that time, Jin Baiwan had only taken a small sip before immediately spitting it out.
Is this handsome older man really that tolerant?
About three minutes later, the handsome man, his face flushed, swallowed his drink, coughed several times, covered his mouth with his sleeve, and then said gently, "Thank you, thank you, I really like your drink."
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up: "Really? Then let me fill your cup again?"
The handsome man panicked immediately and hurriedly covered his glass, stammering, "No, no, no, no..."
After several attempts, Ji Xinghan was disappointed.
This person has such a good temper; he's nothing like the kind of person they're looking for.
The next person to be tested was 04. 04 kept changing seats while holding a snack jar because Yuanbao kept asking him for snacks, which annoyed him to no end.
His face turned black.
Ji Xinghan felt that, apart from not being good-looking enough, 04 met both of the above criteria.
After picking and choosing from 300 people, only one remained. Ji Xinghan quietly found Zhang Xiaoxiao and said, "Go, use your skill to check on Zero Four!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands together, eager to try, and walked over.
Her eyes lit up, eager to try. Just as she walked up to Ling Si, Ling Si stood up with her snack jar in her arms, pointed at her, and said, "Wait, are you trying to steal my snacks?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao scoffed: "What good are your snacks? I have plenty of junk!"
Zero Four exploded: "How dare you insult my snacks? Do you dare get off the bus? I'll fight you!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "No, I don't bully children!"
Zero Four was trembling with anger.
Zhang Xiaoxiao returned casually, and then sent a private message to Ji Xinghan: "I saw it. Ling Si, 32 years old, immature, likes snacks, has a snack jar that he never leaves, used to follow Master Chongyue, and is skilled in poisons."
"That's all?" Ji Xinghan asked, disappointed.
"Hmm, that's all. That person is rather superficial!" Zhang Xiaoxiao retorted sharply.
Ji Xinghan was disappointed; Zero Four could be passed over.
Who else?
She looked at each of the NPCs one by one, and suddenly it struck her that two of them were missing: Bao Yuan and Niu Ma.
Baoyuan Health.
The ox and horse are both lame!
Could it be cattle or horses?
But why didn't Niu Ma and Bao Yuan come? Is it because they aren't foodies?
Ji Xinghan told Ji Yunting her guess, and Ji Yunting confirmed, "I discussed it with the others, and oxen and horses are also delicious. It's strange that he didn't come today. Go and check on him."
Ji Xinghan worriedly said, "But how am I supposed to get there? It will take a lot of time to go back and forth."
Ji Yunting: "I'll give you a teleportation card. You can teleport to any place you've ever been before."
[Teleport Card (Top Tier): Allows you to teleport to places you've been before!]
【Use or not?】
Ji Xinghan: "Yes!"
Please select the area you wish to visit!
With a "whoosh," a map popped up, densely marked with the places she had been.
Ji Xinghan chose the alchemy room where he had previously encountered the ox and horse.
[Teleportation initiated, 3, 2, 1!]
Ji Xinghan's vision went black, and then he fell from the sky.
He fell to the ground with a "thud".
She looked up and saw the familiar woods.
Beyond this grove lies the ox and horse's alchemy workshop!
She immediately got up, walked through the woods, and arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.
A rich aroma of herbs wafted over, and Ji Xinghan also heard the sound of chopping wood. She breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Niu Ma was at home.
But why aren't the oxen and horses at home attending the gathering?
She went up and knocked on the door: "Knock knock knock!"
Inside, there was a clattering of footsteps, and the sounds of cattle and horses could be heard.
His voice was a little irritable: "Who is it? Get lost!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
"Why is Niu Ma so grumpy?" she said. "It's me, Ji Xinghan!"
The door creaked open, revealing Niu Ma's face. He looked surprised and delighted. "Why are you here? Quick, do me a favor!"
He pulled Ji Xinghan inside.
Ji Xinghan was taken aback: "What are you doing?"
She invited the cattle and horses to the feast, not to help out.
Niu Ma: "I just received an order today, and it's urgent. I have to finish it within half an hour. I'm in a hurry. Can you help me start the fire?"
As the ox and horse walked, they complained, "Because of this order, I missed your delicious banquet. If the two of us hurry up, we might still be able to catch the tail end of the banquet."
Without saying a word, he pushed Ji Xinghan into a medicine-making room and said, "You're in charge of this, hurry up!"
You have accepted the oxen and horses' mission—to refine medicine!
[Task Details: The ox and horse want to attend the banquet, but they must complete their current orders. Please help them. Note: The task must be completed within half an hour; otherwise, it will expire!]
[Mission Reward: Sleeping Potion!]
[Mission Failed: Annihilation!]
Ji Xinghan was thus forced to accept the mission.
She shuddered as she looked at the punishment for failing the mission.
That's too ruthless!
This was the first time in a long time that she had received a task with such severe punishment.
Just to go out for a meal?
The oxen and horses had already hurried off to their tasks, so Ji Xinghan had no choice but to tend the fire and refine the medicine.
She couldn't leave, but luckily there were Ji Yunnuan, Lü Linke, and others who continued searching for suspicious individuals.
Ji Xinghan resignedly brewed the medicine while analyzing the cattle and horses.
Are cows and horses considered good-looking? Probably not. How can something that looks like that be considered good-looking?
However, perhaps he is considered good-looking among orcs?
Ji Xinghan's head was throbbing from thinking about it, so he gave up.
After nearly half an hour, the medicine was ready. Ji Xinghan put out the fire and went to find the oxen and horses.
After Niu Ma finished dispensing the medicine, his furrowed brows finally relaxed: "Thank you, Ji Xinghan. The customer who ordered the medicine will be here soon. You can go back now. I'll be attending the banquet soon!"
[Mission Completed - Alchemy!]
[Received 3 Sleep Potions!]
[Sleep-inducing medication: One dose allows for 8 hours of deep sleep, a boon for insomnia sufferers.]
Ji Xinghan held the medicine, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Since arriving in the survival world, she hasn't had insomnia at all.
There's no way around it, I'm just too tired and busy every day, sometimes I even have to stay up all night, so I never experience insomnia.
However, any medicine will have its uses, so keep it.
Ji Xinghan walked out the door.
The ox and horse were holding a box of medicine, craning their necks, seemingly waiting for something.
He shouted, "You brat, your potion is ready! Come and get it, or I won't wait for you!"
"Hmph," a girl emerged from the woods with a cold snort, "It's not time yet, what's the rush?"
It's Baoyuan!
Ji Xinghan was delighted: "Baoyuan, I made lots of delicious food. Yuanbao and your grandma are here. Are you coming?"
Bao Yuan nodded slightly and reached out to the oxen and horses: "Give it to me!"
Niu Ma placed the medicine in Bao Yuan's hand and locked the door: "Alright, Ji Xinghan, I'm going to eat. Goodbye!"
In a flash, he disappeared.
Bao Yuan put away the medicine, nodded to Ji Xinghan, and then disappeared in a flash.
Ji Xinghan quickly walked out of the woods and had Jiang Youyou pull her back to the RV.
As soon as he returned, Ji Yunting's voice rang out: "Good, they're here. The two absent guests have arrived!"
