Chapter 20 Mysterious Mission
Wu Yuetang sat there, looking at the shopkeeper with a happy face, and silently poured herself another cup of tea.
"Good, good! This medicinal herb is simply perfect! Send two hundred kilograms to the capital quickly. Remember to be quick and don't delay on the way."
After the shopkeeper gave another instruction, he turned around, took out three silver notes worth one hundred taels from his pocket and handed them to Wu Yuetang.
"Girl, here are the three hundred taels of silver notes we agreed on. I wanted to give you cash, but now that we have to move south, I've exchanged them for silver notes."
Wu Yuetang was so happy when she saw the banknote that she took it and stuffed it into her sleeve, but actually she put it into the space.
"Okay, then, shopkeeper, I'll be leaving first. I have things to do at home. I'll send you Chonglou in ten days or so."
After saying that, he left the clinic. It would be better to exchange the silver notes for cash as soon as possible. He didn't know if he could find a bank to exchange silver along the way.
Wu Yuetang went to the money shop to exchange two hundred taels of silver in cash, kept a silver note as a backup, and then came to an alley. Seeing that no one was there, he put the carriage into the space again.
There were ready-made fruits and vegetables in the space, so he went to the market and bought some pork, beans, and eggplants, then prepared to go home.
"Host, a mysterious mission has been triggered. Do you want to accept it?"
Wu Yuetang, who was about to quietly take out the carriage, was startled by the sudden sound.
"What mission?"
"Help the second son of the Ye family escape from this predicament."
"The second son of the Ye family? Who is he?"
Wu Yuetang subconsciously searched the original owner's memory, but could not find any information about this person. When she was about to scold the system, she was suddenly stunned.
"The Ye family! Are you talking about the Ye family from Liuwan Village? Ye Jingchen?"
"Yes, help Ye Jingchen out of trouble!"
"The hero has appeared? Where is he? But I completed the mission, what is the reward?"
"You can get 20 points for each mysterious mission you complete. Points will be important later on, so please accumulate as many points as possible."
After saying that, the system disappeared. No matter what Wu Yuetang wanted to ask, the system no longer responded.
What mysterious mission? Isn't this just forced completion?
Wu Yuetang rolled her eyes, walked out of the alley, and looked around. She didn't see anyone who needed help at all. Just when she was about to lose her temper, an electronic map that she hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of her. This map recorded the layout of the entire town in detail. On the third street behind her, a red dot was flashing.
"This should be the mission location."
Wu Yuetang ran along the map. Before he got close to the scene, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of him from a distance.
Wu Yuetang squeezed through the crowd with her small body and saw two waiters at the door of a restaurant, pointing at the young man standing in front and cursing him fiercely.
"I told you I won't charge you! Why are you still hanging around here? You ate some snacks in our store, so pay for them now!"
"We just asked you to find a place to sit, why did you eat all the snacks on the table? Pay now!"
The boy looked down at the dead wolf on the ground, his eyes red and his voice low.
"I can use a few wolves as payment."
"Don't you understand or are you playing dumb? I said I don't accept wolves! If you can't pay, I'll report you to the police!"
As the waiter was about to walk out of the crowd, Wu Yuetang quickly stopped him.
"My dear, if you have something to say, we can talk it over. There's no need to go to the government office."
"Who are you? What does this have to do with you?"
The waiter looked at him unkindly and spoke impatiently.
"If you don't take this wolf, I will."
As he spoke, Wu Yuetang took out five taels of silver from the space and put it in the waiter's hand, saying with a smile.
"These five taels should be enough to pay for the refreshments, and the rest is just a tip for you two brothers. Let's just leave it at that."
The waiter's eyes widened when he saw the five taels of silver in his hand. Although the dishes in his restaurant were not cheap, two taels were enough. The little girl actually gave him five taels directly and even got a three tael tip. His expression suddenly became extremely friendly.
"Alright, then quickly take that kid and the wolf away and don't delay our restaurant's business."
As he said this, he put the silver in his pocket and walked back to the restaurant.
Wu Yuetang walked to the boy, silently dragged the dead wolf from the ground, and shouted at the boy.
"Please help lift it, what are you doing standing here?"
The young man was startled by her shout and immediately turned around, took the wolf on the ground and the one in Wu Yuetang's hand, and carried them all on his back.
Wu Yuetang wanted to observe the young man, but he kept his head down and she couldn't see him clearly. The two of them walked all the way to the town gate before stopping.
"May I have your name?"
Wu Yuetang was the first to ask, let's make sure we don't save the wrong person.
"Ye Jingchen."
There was no one around now, and the boy's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so he could be heard clearly.
Wu Yuetang curled her lips, this voice was quite nice.
"Look up and let me see."
As he spoke, he tiptoed and reached out to lift Ye Jingchen's chin. Perhaps the action was a bit frivolous, which made him take two steps back unconsciously.
"Why are you shy?"
As soon as he finished muttering, Wu Yuetang jumped up and pushed the hair that was blocking his view away, and he was completely struck by her beauty.
"Shit, the book said the hero was handsome, but it didn't say he was this good-looking."
Although Ye Jingchen's face is now covered in dirt and his hair is messy due to the argument, it can still be seen that this guy deserves to be the male lead.
"Eyebrows like ink paintings, nose like a hanging gallbladder, eyes like clear springs, waist like a swimming dragon, wow."
Wu Yuetang watched for a while, looking Ye Jingchen up and down, and kept exclaiming in admiration.
Ye Jingchen's expression shifted slightly. He wasn't shy, but rather felt a surge of anger. However, the woman in front of him had just helped him out, so he couldn't say anything to her, so he just kept it to himself.
"Okay, just help me take these wolves back to my house and leave."
After saying this, Wu Yuetang thought of the situation of the Ye family in Liuwan Village mentioned in the book, and reminded them again: "When the time comes, I will give you another tael of silver."
Ye Jingchen stopped walking and looked at her with some confusion.
"No, you've already paid."
"You went to town to buy game, but ended up not bringing home a single penny. I don't need to tell you what will happen when you get back. You should know better than I do."
Wu Yuetang stood aside and said that the Ye family in Liuwan Village described in the book was a cannibalistic place, and they tortured Ye Jingchen every day just because they rescued him.
The entire Ye family is now supported by the money Ye Jingchen earns from hunting. If he doesn't bring money back that day, he will be beaten and scolded, and even not given dinner.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuetang slowed down her pace and looked at Ye Jingchen beside her. She thought of what was said in the book, where the male protagonist galloped across the frontier battlefield, killing decisively, which was completely different from the current situation.
I sighed silently in my heart, "Forget it, don't take the money back with you. Have dinner at my house before you go back. You won't get any benefit from taking this money back."
Hearing Wu Yuetang's words, Ye Jingchen was stunned. In his memory, he had never experienced such care from others. He didn't expect that the woman he met for the first time would be so nice to him.
"Congratulations to the host, the mysterious mission is completed, and you have earned twenty points. The male protagonist's favorability is currently one, please increase it to one hundred as soon as possible."
What the hell? Why do I need to capture the hero? Isn't it just about completing quests? This system even allows for temporary quests?
