Chapter 109: Eating Watermelon in the Rest Area (16)
When Min Liang said this, he realized that something was wrong.
He was clearly against his brother being with that icy-faced Pavilion Master Ji, so how come he is now assisting in the development trend?
Min Liang took a step back and took a defensive stance: "What's going on?! Did I fall into some reverse operation trap?!
"Brother, are you deliberately pretending to be at odds with Pavilion Master Ji so that I can let my guard down?!
"I'm telling you, I won't agree to you two being together!"
Jiang Minxu looked at his brother in shock and was speechless.
However, what the other party said was not entirely unreasonable.
If you really want to do good for someone, you probably shouldn't get caught up in self-determined decisions, but at least you should retain the other person's right to know.
He arbitrarily decides his own and the other person's future, as if he does not really treat the other person as an equal.
So the problem returns to the beginning.
Without considering interfering factors like the survival rate of players in the "18th Layer of Hell", does he really like Ji Zehan? Does he like him enough to want to be with him?
This man is tall and good-looking.
He is responsible and has been managing the Wantong Pavilion entrusted to him by Liu Tang conscientiously and responsibly for many years.
He is organized and clear in his work. Although the affairs of the entire Wantong Pavilion are complicated, he manages them in an orderly manner.
Once they set a goal, they'll do whatever it takes to achieve it. For example, seeking revenge on Zhou Da. Uh... that doesn't seem like a very real strength.
Although he used some unkind means for revenge, he is usually a sensible and open-minded person.
In all the time they had known each other, Jiang Minxu had never seen this man use his information advantage to suppress innocent players.
This likely explains Wantong Pavilion's operating style: despite possessing so much valuable information, they don't hoard it, but rather provide equal benefits to all players. They sell crucial life-saving intelligence to novice players at extremely low prices.
He was emotionally stable no matter what happened. A joke from hell, because of the side effects of his innate ability, he sometimes even had no emotions.
But although he has no emotions, he can express his feelings very directly. If he likes something, he will say it. He has a kind of naivety that is ignorant of the world.
Although he looks so cold, he is actually very cute.
Every time after treating him, he would feel even more pity for him when he saw him crying on his shoulder because the emotions he had suppressed in his heart were completely out of control.
Thinking of this, Jiang Minxu realized that even if the other person had some seemingly flaws, he still felt that he was very much to his liking.
This man, damn, let him get too excited.
President Jiang exhaled, turned to look at his brother, and answered honestly: "I think I do like Ji Zehan."
It seemed that after saying this, the depression in his heart was finally relieved, and everything became clear and transparent.
My mood also became a little better.
After hearing his brother's confession, Min Liang was completely stunned.
All sorts of jumbled symbols began to appear in his mind.
No, I was just worried that my brother was in a bad mood, and I wanted to cheer him up. How did it become asking him to confirm his feelings for Pavilion Master Ji?!
"Wow~" an exclamation came.
When Jiang Minxu heard this voice, the veins on his forehead jumped.
According to previous experience, once he has a melon, it will definitely...
Jiang Minxu turned around suddenly and saw Liu Tang standing not far away with a steamed dumpling soaked in red oil in his mouth, his eyes shining. Mo Qianhe was standing next to him with a mocking look on his face.
Jiang Minxu felt like his head was about to smoke.
Could you please not have these two people appear every time I talk about my personal matters?!
What kind of saying is this?!
Just now, when Liu Tang was chatting with Mo Qianhe, he saw a stand not far away that overlooked the entire underworld rest area.
Liu Tang pulled Mo Qianhe and walked towards this side.
Although the two could see two figures not far away, due to the dim light, they did not recognize that they were familiar people.
It was not until I got closer that I suddenly heard Jiang Minxu's confession.
Liu Tang is also innocent. He did not follow President Jiang, nor did he want to eavesdrop on this gossip.
Unfortunately, this was just a coincidence and he couldn't do anything about it.
"Ah, you liar, what a coincidence!" Min Liang was the first to greet Mo Qianhe.
Mo Qianhe raised his hand to gesture without saying anything.
Liu Tang chewed and swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, feeling a little awkward for a moment. "Long time no see, Brother Minliang. Nice to meet you again, President Jiang."
Jiang Minxu's face was still hot, but fortunately he was standing in the backlight at the moment, so others couldn't see his expression clearly.
Liu Tang was very curious. Chairman Jiang had clearly rejected Pavilion Master Ji with righteous words just a few hours ago, so what was going on now?
But before he could ask, Min Liang walked over to chat with him: "My brother said that you are not only the dungeon boss, but also a player who has successfully cleared the level. That's really amazing."
Liu Tang waved his hands and said modestly, "It's not bad."
After saying that, he handed the steamed bun in his hand to Min Liang: "Want to eat?"
Even though Min Liang had just finished eating barbecue, he still unceremoniously picked up a steamed bun with a pair of clean chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he praised: "I haven't eaten this soup dumplings in a long time, and it's still so delicious!"
Mo Qianhe, who was standing on the other side, saw the two people getting closer and closer, so he took a step forward and squeezed in between them, separating them.
Min Liang looked at Mo Qianhe in confusion: "You liar, are you afraid that I will eat all the buns? I'm not starving."
Mo Qianhe was frank and put his arm around Liu Tang's shoulders: "I just don't want you to be too close to my boyfriend."
Min Liang was slightly stunned, then let out a loud "Huh?!"
Jiang Minxu was originally blushing about his own affairs, but now his attention was also drawn to him.
Although he knew that the two had expressed their love for each other in the dungeon, he didn't know that they were already together.
Min Liang continued to be shocked: "When did this happen? I haven't heard of it at all."
As he spoke, he asked Jiang Minxu beside him for confirmation: "Brother, why didn't you tell me?!"
Jiang Minxu was speechless. It was the first time he heard of it.
Mo Qianhe saw the surprise on their faces and curled his lips proudly: "Ah, this afternoon. Thank you for your blessings."
Min Liang: “…”
No, you are sick. Which of my words is a blessing?
Jiang Minxu's confession was interrupted by the news that Liu Tang and Mo Qianhe had confirmed their relationship, so the awkwardness that existed when the four people first met was eliminated.
Min Liang and Jiang Minxu decided to go down the mountain and return to the guild at this time. Liu Tang also felt full, so he asked Mo Qianhe and confirmed that the other party was full too. Then the four of them went down the mountain together.
On the way back to Wantong Pavilion, Liu Tang finally remembered to check his exploration points. The moment he saw the number, he was stunned: "Huh? It actually increased to 8,000?"
Mo Qianhe raised an eyebrow and listened to Liu Tang's explanation as he checked the settlement details: "Part of it is the income from Wanjing Garden these days...
"But the bulk of the profits are still from this 'Food Court' event. Besides the gains from players exploring the secrets, there's also the rewards and compensation for discovering and reporting the boss's misconduct."
Mo Qianhe nodded to show that he understood.
Liu Tang began to think about another question.
If he should have chosen to go to "heaven" at first, but stayed for some special reasons.
So does this "exploration points accumulation task" have any other deeper meaning?
What will happen when he accumulates 10,000 points and gains the so-called "freedom"?
He was a little excited, but also a little worried.
Mo Qianhe saw that the man frowned slightly, so he raised his hand and rubbed the other person's eyebrows.
He could now hear Liu Tang's thoughts again, and naturally understood the other party's concerns.
"Let's take it one step at a time, don't worry too much," Mo Qianhe comforted him, changing the subject, "By the way, my clearance points also increased to nearly 9,000 today."
Liu Tang was startled and then he deliberately checked the clearance points above the other person's head.
After being punished by the rules before, Liu Tang was able to see the players' good and evil values and points again, and thus gained the ability to hide the players' values.
As long as he doesn't want to see all kinds of colorful numbers in front of him, he can hide them and these data will not be visible in his field of vision.
So after leaving the dungeon, Liu Tang didn't think about checking Mo Qianhe's points, so the other party's points were always hidden from him.
At this moment, Liu Tang took the time to check and found that the number of clearance points displayed above Boss Mo's head was 8863.
His eyes widened. "Your points are increasing too fast. Is this reasonable?"
Mo Qianhe thought for a moment and replied, "I was a little worried at first. Although the points details explained that I was targeted by the boss in this dungeon beyond the rules, so I was given extra compensation, but I'm not really convinced.
"But now I've found a reason that's more consistent with what we already know."
Liu Tang was curious: "What's the reason?"
Mo Qianhe replied: "When we reviewed the game today, we discussed that points more reflect the player's personal strength.
"In fact, when I was in 'Wanjing Garden', my score had already exceeded 8,000, which means that 'Hell 18th Layer' assessed my strength at the 8,000 mark.
"Although my points have decreased significantly after I spent them, once I enter the dungeon a few times and allow the entire evaluation system to re-determine my true strength, the system will use some seemingly reasonable reasons to readjust my points to a level that suits my strength."
After hearing this, Liu Tang praised: "That makes perfect sense. You are indeed worthy of being called Boss Mo."
"But now I'm thinking, do I have to pass the level so quickly?" Mo Qianhe said hesitantly.
Liu Tang was slightly stunned and began to understand what Mo Qianhe meant.
They all knew that once they completed the game, Mo Qianke might go to "Heaven", and then he would leave the "18th Level of Hell".
As the boss of "Wanjing Garden", Liu Tang must stay here if he has not obtained enough exploration points by then.
Then the two may have to separate.
Even if Liu Tang happened to obtain enough exploration points, it is hard to say what his future will be.
The probability of the two being forced to separate is still very high.
If they want to be with each other, perhaps the best option is to maintain the current status and neither of them should collect 10,000 points.
