Chapter 14 Hurricane Season 14 Questions and Answers, Nini’s birthday.
This dark forest doesn't seem like a convenient place to talk.
Jiang Ru Nian looked far away and saw a dark cloud gradually floating in the sky. It was about nine o'clock in the evening. At ten o'clock, the entire game world would enter the natural disaster mode on time. The man in black could come and go freely in the hurricane, but she couldn't. She could only use her life to demonstrate what it meant to be fragile.
Staying here any longer would be a recipe for death.
Jiang Ruonian patted Xiaobai's head, signaling it to turn around. She pulled away a little and put forward a condition: "I can give it to you, but you have to come back to Qingshan Inn with me."
She was not panicked at all.
Since the man in black would specifically find her just for a mere mutated bird, it means that this bird is not something that can be discarded anywhere, and she is qualified to negotiate terms.
In the dim light, she seemed to see the man in black frown.
"I can grab it."
"The bird is in the inn, why are you trying to grab it?"
“…”
The man in black spoke coldly, but his tone was wooden. Jiang Runian couldn't help laughing: "You don't think I'm like you, treating that green-eyed bird as a treasure and carrying it with me every day, do you?"
The man in black was silent for a moment, moved his feet, and stuck closely behind Xiaobai's butt.
"...You're just going to follow me like this?" Jiang Runian couldn't believe it. "Besides, your health bar is almost empty."
She suddenly wondered if this man had something wrong with his brain.
There were similar organizations in the past, where black-hearted bosses captured idiots from all over the place and took advantage of their insensitivity to do bad things.
Unexpectedly, the man in black just drank a bottle of potion and his health bar was instantly replenished.
...A huge bottle of blood-restoring medicine that takes effect immediately must cost a lot of money, right?
However, although his health bar was full, the hole in his chest was still bleeding, and he had an additional dot damage that continued to cause him to lose health every second. The man in black seemed to ignore the damage and followed her closely.
Jiang Runian secretly complained, he is indeed a weirdo.
The two of them walked towards Qingshan Inn, and Jiang Runian asked casually, "That bird's eye is made of an alien crystal core. You transformed it from ordinary creatures, right? By the way, I also saw weapons made of alien crystal cores at the Dark Hunter Base yesterday. You also provided them, right? Is it expensive? If I want to buy it, can you give me a discount?"
“…”
"You are so rude. You should answer when someone speaks to you."
Hearing this, the man in black suddenly stopped and said seriously, word by word: "Yes, yes, I can't sell it to you." After that, he started walking again.
Jiang Runian: “…”
Huh? You really have to answer every question?
"That's right. You were just pretending to be dumb."
"You asked three questions at once. I need to think about it."
…
There is definitely something wrong with this person's brain, right? !
It takes so long to think about the three questions, and you have to pause when answering, as if your brain can't handle two things at the same time. Jiang Runian, who has a super-fast brain, can't understand this.
But it's quite fun.
After realizing this habit of the man in black, Jiang Ruinian pressed the issue further, even slowing down his speech and pace considerately: "You must be an organization, right? You are all elites? What do you usually do?"
The man in black continued to answer every question: "Yes, yes, some of them killed people, some set fires, and some made drugs."
Jiang Runian: “???”
Is your organization serious?
She thought it was an underground organization specializing in illegal research, but she didn't expect it to take jobs like murder and robbery?! Thinking of this, Jiang Runian unconsciously moved away from him.
She asked, "What about you?"
He replied: "I recycle the bodies."
...I can see it.
I'll wait for you in the wind, rain and hurricane, and I'll pick up the corpse of the green-eyed bird without hesitation.
When they reached the edge of the forest, the man in black stopped.
He quietly hid behind the tree trunk: "Give it to me."
Quite vigilant.
Jiang Runian originally wanted to lure him into the Qingshan Inn. The safe zone could not be attacked, and the four people from the Qingshan Sect could always suppress him.
She rolled her eyes and asked, "You transformed the alien birds, released them to die, and then collected their bodies... Don't you think the process is too redundant?"
"We didn't release them," the man in black said casually, "We just can't control them."
Jiang Runian's heart was shocked.
She seemed to have heard some terrible news.
So, this organization is researching the use of alienated crystal cores to transform organisms, but due to inadequate technology, the alienated birds cannot be controlled and escape from the organization, so the men in black follow the trail to retrieve the bodies, worried that they will be discovered by someone with ulterior motives?
Jiang Runian's face was heavy: "Then let me ask one last question... If you can't find the last mutant bird, will there be serious consequences?"
The man in black said in a more serious tone than she did: "Yes."
"What are the consequences?"
"unemployment."
"…………" Jiang Runian held his forehead and resisted the urge to complain, "Listen to my advice, there is no future in working in a place like this, find a legitimate job as soon as possible."
After saying that, Jiang Runian took out the green-eyed bird that he had always carried with him from his bag, threw it into his arms, then turned and left.

Day 6, noon.
It's a rare good day today. The clouds are light and a ray of sunlight can even shine through.
After arranging the colorful fireworks in the lobby with Li Fu, Jiang Ruonian pressed the assembly button three times to notify the Senmin tribe to come.
Qingshan Inn now has six tables, four square tables and two large round tables, which can accommodate 52 people in total, which is more than enough.
Jiang Runian had prepared several sweet and spicy cold dishes and a fresh fruit plate in advance, and brought a pot of fruit drink, waiting for the first wave of guests to arrive.
About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard outside Qingshan Inn.
"... Nian Nian," Li Fu suddenly grabbed her arm, a little panicked, "Why do I feel like the ground is shaking?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the next second Qingshan Inn was crowded with people.
Jiang Runian: “…”
Are there so many people on the southwest border?!
Meng Li walked out of the crowd with difficulty, looking apologetic: "I originally wanted to invite a table from a nearby settlement, and I didn't want to add pressure to you, but...the adventure team went around bragging yesterday that this is not Qingshan Inn but the Fairy Inn, and everyone wants to come and see it. But don't worry, Boss Jiang, many people are willing to pay out of their own pockets, and they won't eat for free."
When it comes to doing business, the right way is to take it slow and steady.
Jiang Runian didn't care whether she made a loss today or not. After all, for her, today's investment was just the cost for future publicity.
She smiled and said in a clear voice: "Who is Nini?"
A mushroom-headed girl wearing little hunter equipment raised her hand. Facing so many people, she said confidently, "Me! Sister, my name is Hu Ni, and I'm the youngest hunter among the forest people! My mother's name is Hu Yu, and she's the most powerful hunter among the forest people!"
This self-introduction amused the whole audience, and they all praised her for being cute.
"Okay, little Hu Ni. You are the birthday girl today, so you should sit at the middle table," Jiang Ru Nian arranged slowly, "Nini's family and friends should sit at these tables. I will also move a few small tea tables down from the guest rooms, and everyone should take their seats in an orderly manner. I am really sorry, Qingshan Inn has just started, and I didn't expect to receive such attention."
There were gentle settlements nearby, and he waved his hands to tell her not to apologize.
Besides, even the most prosperous towns have never heard of a store of the level of Qingshan Inn, so what’s the harm in them waiting a little longer!
After everyone was seated, Li Fu and Jiang Runian served the hot dishes in an orderly manner.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised chicken wings, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, grilled lamb ribs, stir-fried beef with scrambled eggs, grilled eggplant, waterfall mashed potatoes, vegetarian rolls, and chicken soup that has been simmered for three hours. The staple food is eight-treasure brown rice, and there is also longevity noodles that are unique to Nini.
Because the birthday boy is a child, Jiang Runian chose dishes with lighter flavors.
After all the dishes were served, the entire lobby fell silent - is this... heaven?
The surviving players include men and women, young and old, and naturally there is a gap between the rich and the poor. Some people used to eat these at home, but more people only saw such a rich table of dishes at the New Year's Eve dinner or banquet.
In the past, they worked hard to earn money so that they could eat better and live better, but since the advent of "Infinite Tomorrow", they have lost their hope for quality of life. Every day when they wake up, they just eat some tasteless vegetable noodles exchanged in the mall to fill their stomachs, then kill monsters to exchange for coins, or go to the wild to pick up some wild vegetables as the main dish for the next three meals.
A few minutes ago, they had only imagined some tempting home-cooked dishes.
The delicious food on the tables has a fragrant aroma that penetrates your nose with a strong presence. The ribs are fragrant and the beef is tender, and the chicken soup is covered with oil.
Some people couldn't hold back and picked up a piece of mushroom stewed chicken with chopsticks.
The soft chicken wrapped in the thick soup melts in your mouth. The mushrooms are like plump sponges, and the delicious taste overflows from your teeth after you take a bite. Even if the tip of your tongue turns red from the heat, you can't bear to let it go.
The store was filled with cries: "It's... so delicious!!"
Jiang Ruinian waved his hands in a mysterious manner: "It's not over yet."
After saying that, she and Li Fu brought out a wooden box from the backyard and placed it in front of Nini.
"Three, two, one!" Jiang Ruonian opened the wooden box, "Happy birthday, Nini!"
It turned out to be a...birthday cake!
The snow-white cream was spread unevenly, like a gravel road, with a unique sense of art. The colorful fruits were spread on the top layer, as innocent as a child's painting. There was even a little man carved out of a white radish, holding a carrot-colored bow and arrow in his hand.
Nini covered her mouth, tears streaming from her eyes like a tap. She hugged Hu Yu and cried, "Mom... it's a birthday cake... Nini can still eat birthday cake..."
Hu Yu's eyes also turned red, and he and Meng Li looked at each other and cried.
I don't know who started singing the birthday song first: "Happy birthday to Ni~"
In Qingshan Inn, the most sincere blessings for a peaceful era echoed, and the atmosphere infected everyone.
This was probably the happiest, most satisfying and most touching day for them since they fell into this doomsday game.
Even Jiang Runian couldn't help rubbing his eyes, smiling, and humming an unfamiliar song following their tune.
Happy birthday to you, Nini.
