Chapter 544 Food
Wu Tong swallowed his saliva with a gulp and looked at the [Jade Emperor] blankly: "Great, Great Emperor, what do you say?"
The emperor hesitated for a moment, thinking that he should give the players some visible "benefits" so that they could be guided to do this "task" in depth. He tentatively asked for everyone's opinions: "It's free anyway, why not refuse it? How about... killing these first and getting the points?"
Many of the workers in the group are the main force of the battle-fun gameplay, and of course they have no objection to the points and prestige contributions they pick up for free, so everyone hit it off and decisively gave physical salvation to this pile of half-dead monsters, which were not many but not few in number. Not only did they gain a lot of points, but they also got a lot of materials for the boss Wu Tong.
Wu Tong stuffed all these materials to his new secretary, Secretary Zhang - a retired professional game player who was specially hired by Wu Tong's sister, Wu Yu, the chairman of Jiaming Group, at a huge cost. The secretary has a solid academic background, a well-known quality, good emotional intelligence and good EQ. Except for the unfavorable salary, everything about her is perfect.
Secretary Zhang's main task is to play games with Wu Tong, and his secondary task is to take on the responsibility of "surveillance" in the game, which is called care.
Wu Tong did not feel upset about her sister's worry about her behavior, because she really did not have any bad hobbies that the second-generation rich people rumored to have, and except for occasionally hiding in the bed to read some slightly shameful novels, her life could not be healthier.
Therefore, she was very happy to have a gaming expert to guide her. Every time she got materials or props that were not very useful, she would pass them to the new secretary in case they were needed.
Secretary Zhang quietly sorted a pile of messy materials into categories while paying close attention to the progress of the group's discussion.
"I think, why don't we explore the environment of this dungeon first? Doesn't the mission say that we can't offend that NPC? Maybe it's a hint that there are other clues in the dungeon!"
[Green Tomato] spoke eloquently and was the first to express his ideas.
[Handsome] had a different opinion. He had recently been committed to building a comprehensive demon cultivation school and had come into contact with many demon cultivators who spoke different languages. Therefore, he thought that even if the NPC seemed to not understand what the player was saying, he would definitely be able to communicate smoothly. Therefore, he said more confidently, "I don't think the NPC has any ill will towards us. Why don't we find it and try to communicate with it? It can understand that we don't eat monsters, so it should be able to communicate with it in other ways!"
Other players also started talking.
"It's hard to say. The look in its eyes before it left didn't seem to indicate that it agreed that the food we were eating was edible..."
"It was showing sympathy, right? It had to be sympathy, right? Anyway, I think it was sympathy! Are the species differences that big? It actually had that expression!"
"Is there a possibility that the emperor's snack is too unpalatable?"
"No way! Pork jerky is so delicious!"
"Ugh! I think it tastes terrible! And it's spicy!"
"Wow, are you from Cantonese? You can't eat spicy food! So lame!"
"What's wrong with not eating spicy food? I'm from Hangzhou! I just don't like spicy food! I want to eat fresh food that retains the original flavor of the ingredients! Heavy spicy food is too low-class, okay!"
"Hey! Then go and challenge the Sichuan and Hunan hotpot restaurants that are open all over the world! Food that the people love is good food! There is no difference between low-quality and high-quality food!"
"Too lame! You all are too lame! In my opinion, the best ingredients should be pure and natural! Like free-range chicken, free-range Fujianese, and the like!"
"What have we, the people of Fujian Province, done to you? You despicable Cantonese! Get back! Get back now!"
The discussion in the team channel became more and more off-topic. Everyone had long been accustomed to the online atmosphere where no matter what they talked about, they could always bring up regional differences and start a three-hundred-round war. They all watched the fun and added fuel to the fire.
"Oh my god! The Cantonese are eating the Fujianese!"
"If you eat people from Fujian, you can't eat people from Guangxi!"
"The finest ingredients! Use the simplest cooking methods! Cantonese! Open it! Show us your cooking skills! Show us what it means to be a Fujianese!"
"Ahem, you guys discuss cooking first, I'll go find that NPC and give it a try. If you're bored, you can wander around the dungeon and study it, just in case you come across any clues! But if you run into that NPC just now, remember to be nice and don't take action. If you ruin the mission, you'll become the public enemy of our entire group!"
While the players were chatting with each other, the Jade Emperor gave some instructions in the group chat, and privately took Zhao Qing and Jie Ran to follow the direction where the NPC disappeared.
A "creature" that even α is interested in must have extraordinary significance!
After several months of cooperation, players like them who were incorporated into the project team could already tell at a glance which tasks were issued by colleagues in the project team and which were issued by Alpha himself after he became interested.
The style and tone of this task are definitely the work of Alpha! The amount of information behind this cannot be underestimated!
After following the traces for a while, they saw the giant beast, which was much smaller in size. It didn't seem to have any intention of hiding, because it was crawling on its six tentacle-like limbs, leaving obvious traces on the ground covered with gravel and soil.
"It's this direction!"
“There it is!”
The voices of Jie Ran and Zhao Qing rang out one after another, and the emperor also saw the giant beast not far away, whose body was heaving up and down again, as if it was snoring.
With the arrival of the three people, the only eye on the giant beast's face opened with difficulty, glanced at the three people, and then closed it again, turned over and fell asleep, with no intention of paying any attention to them.
"what to do?"
The three of them looked at each other, and without even saying a word, they understood the meaning of the questions in each other's eyes.
"If it doesn't work, feed it?"
The emperor, who always has the most outspoken ideas, lowered his voice and made a suggestion in a low voice.
Zhao Qing also lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Doesn't it refuse to eat the food we eat? How do we feed it?"
The emperor rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You are stupid! Can't we just feed it what it likes to eat?"
Hearing this, Jieran and Zhao Qing were both stunned.
"You mean, we should go to another dungeon and catch some monsters, and make sure they are alive, and then come back to feed it?"
Zhao Qing said this, looking thoughtful.
Although this operation sounds very tricky, it does seem feasible?
The emperor replied, "Don't hit a smiling person! Since it likes to eat this thing, let's catch more to show our goodwill. It will understand that we have no ill intentions, right?"
Zhao Qing hissed, and had to nod and admit, "It seems to make some sense..."
Jie Ran, who usually doesn't like to talk, suddenly pointed at a strange-looking skull on the ground, which was obviously not a human or humanoid skull, and said, "It may not only eat demons, otherwise where did these bones come from? It's possible that it also eats these things, but I can't tell what creatures these bones are from."
