Chapter 46 Another Hidden Mission
Although most of the players were harassing the human cubs and the village chief, the old man who had been talking to Wang Ergou, some players were like fish in water, spreading out in the village, trying to find some "hidden tasks" or "adventures".
Zhao Qing is one of them.
She didn't like human cubs. Although they did look cute when they weren't crying or making a fuss, she just didn't like them, so she chose to walk deeper into the village, intending to observe this place that seemed to have been forgotten by history.
Most of the courtyards and houses she passed by secretly opened a crack. Zhao Qing could sense with her spiritual sense that many villagers were secretly looking at her.
After walking for a while, the houses and courtyards on both sides became fewer and fewer, and were replaced by large tracts of cultivated farmland.
It was past two in the morning and the sky began to darken.
In "Ten States", I don't know if it's because it's summer or some other geographical reason, but it gets dark very late, almost until 2 or 3 in the morning, and gets light at 10 in the morning. As a result, the NPCs in the game generally go to bed in the early morning of China time.
Although it was difficult to see clearly due to the darkening sky, Zhao Qing still recognized that most of these farmlands were planted with various kinds of spiritual herbs and plants, and a small number were planted with grains.
It’s very strange, why would a captive village grow so many spiritual herbs and plants?
Where to spend it?
Such doubts not only appeared in Zhao Qing's mind, but Fang Xianyu also had some doubts.
Her spiritual sense swept through every corner of the village. In addition to large tracts of medicinal fields, there was also a village temple. Several god tablets were enshrined in the temple, with several strange names engraved on them, such as "Red Cloud Goddess" and "Red Robe Immortal".
It doesn't sound like the name of a normal monk.
Monks are generally mortals who have achieved success through cultivation. Most of them are literate and have their own names. Before they are ordained as priests, the names they use outside are also quite elegant.
Names like "Red Cloud Goddess" and "Red Robe Immortal" are not only straightforward but also have certain characteristics. They do not sound like the names of human cultivators, but rather like the names of demon cultivators who were transformed from animals.
What kind of demon cultivator dares to do this under the eyes of Guangcheng Sect? Fang Xianyu frowned.
On the other side, Zhao Qing had already started chatting with the first villager who had the courage to talk to her.
"So, there's a lot of open space here, and I can get a piece of it?"
The woman smiled awkwardly: "If you want to live here for a long time, I think it's possible. The land in the village is divided by the old man, and he has always been fair. But... do immortals also have to farm?"
"We are not immortals," Zhao Qing explained patiently, "We are disciples of the Taiyin Sect. We are indeed cultivating immortals, but we haven't achieved it yet, so we also have to eat grains, just like you. Naturally, we also need food and clothing."
"So, that's how it is. It's great to be able to cultivate immortality. If my daughter were still alive, she would be as old as you..."
The woman wiped her eyes, her expression both panicked and sad. "I, I didn't mean that, please forgive me, Immortal. I just..."
"It's okay, don't be sad, everything will be fine in the future." Zhao Qing said, and changed the subject a little stiffly: "By the way, why do you grow so many herbs?"
The woman looked gloomy: "These are all for offering to the gods."
"God? Which god?"
"That's hard to say. Sometimes it's the Red Robe Immortal who comes, and sometimes it's the Red Cloud Lady. The Red Robe Immortal is easy to deal with, as he just wants some spiritual herbs and plants. The Red Cloud Lady is different. She likes children, and she always picks up the children in the village and takes them away..."
As the woman spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Zhao Qing clenched her fists as she listened. Suddenly, the task bar began to flash, and a golden hidden task suddenly appeared. [Demon Slayer]: [After some investigation in the village, you found that it was not only the dead demons that kept the village captive, but there seemed to be someone else behind the scenes. You decided to investigate in detail. (Can be shared, the maximum number of people to share: 5) (Rewards: 8000Exp, Taiyin Sect Land Deed (permanent), limited mysterious props)]
If it was said that the emotion towards the NPC in the game only made Zhao Qing have the urge to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, then this hidden task that was suddenly triggered was the reason for her to take positive action.
"Old Han, come quickly, the hidden mission has been triggered!"
Zhao Qing quickly picked a few friends to chat privately. Except for Wang Ergou who said that he was leading a group and would arrive later, everyone else left the group and rejoined Zhao Qing's new group.
Zhao Qing glanced at the tired-looking little kid hiding behind the door, and suddenly suggested, "It's too late today. I'll share the task first. When the NPC wakes up tomorrow, we can slowly do this hidden task. How about that?"
Han Yi said hurriedly: "That's great, I'm so sleepy. Not only have I been beaten during the day these two days, but I also have to stay up late at night. I'm almost numb!"
The Jade Emperor's gossip radar immediately perked up: "Being beaten? Old Han, you found a girlfriend?"
Han Yi thought of the information Wang Ergou mentioned, and said vaguely: "No, um... you will know later!"
The Jade Emperor was somewhat speechless: "What the hell! Why are you and Brother Gou acting so secretive lately!?"
"You'll know in a few days anyway, why rush?"
"Okay, okay, I'll leave first. Anyway, Second Senior Sister has shared the task with me. My dad seems to have something to talk to me about, so I'll leave now!"
…
The Jade Emperor, whose real name is Song Zechuan, is a high school graduate who has just received a college admission letter.
When choosing his major, he chose computer science and technology, a major that would visibly make him balder but also stronger, mainly because he had a pretty good aptitude for science - he thought he was pretty good.
Of course, all of Song Zechuan's classmates knew that this guy was a top student who was so confident that he was in the late stage of the second-year syndrome. However, judging by his comprehensive science level, his confidence was quite justified.
But when he came out of the game cabin and saw his father who had just come back from overtime, wearing a suit and holding an admission letter from Jinghua University with a confused expression, he was also confused.
"Xiaochuan, I received a call this morning. It was from the office of the university you applied to. They said your number was unreachable, so they called me."
Moreover, this time, his father suddenly spoke to him in a rare friendly manner, so that his tone was a little strange: "Well, they said that the higher-ups want to transfer you to Jinghua University, and your major will remain unchanged, but the condition is that you participate in a project, which seems to be related to the immortal cultivation game you are playing recently. I was so excited that I agreed... Of course, I didn't say it was a sure thing, I still said I would ask for your opinion, but that evening, the courier delivered this thing directly to my office..."
As his father finished speaking, an admission letter that Song Zechuan never dreamed of appeared before him.
"No, Dad," Song Zechuan felt a little dazed: "Can the transfer be adjusted upwards?"
