Chapter 217 Cang Ling Sword Discussion (Thirty-Two)

()    Master Jibu took a crash course in martial arts knowledge with Murong Ying for an entire afternoon, and learned most of the common sense in this script. Then he said goodbye with many thanks and returned to Room C.

That fairy from the clouds was unexpectedly easy to talk to, and things went so smoothly that it was a bit suspicious. Even Jibu himself began to wonder... Could it be that I really have the talent to be a gigolo?

In fact, he thought too much... This NPC is arranged by the system to provide players with basic information. As long as the player can see that she is similar to Bai Xiaosheng and takes the initiative to ask her, she will generally not refuse.

From the perspective of the overall setting of this martial arts world, Murong Ying's behavior is also reasonable. First of all, she was originally very interested in the Pojian Tea House, and she also admired Feng Bujue's daring and self-willed weird style. Secondly, the Murong family is not a sect that opens a mountain to teach disciples, so they have always been somewhat hostile to disciples of high-ranking sects like Wanxialou. However, they have a good impression of some chivalrous people who walk alone in the world, or small sects like Pojian Tea House that are not in conflict with the world and are free and unrestrained.

《　   Moreover, as Feng Bujue said before, the questions that Master Jibu asked for advice were not "secrets" at all. They were just common sense to other people in the world. Murong Ying happened to be free and did not dislike Pojian Tea House. She had no reason to refuse such a smooth relationship.

In fact... the so-called common sense is something that can be asked by randomly grabbing a person on the street, such as where is the north, what day it is today, the name of the head of state, etc.... It's just that it's not appropriate to keep asking these questions to a stranger.

And Jibu, with an attitude of asking for advice, first showed that he knew almost nothing about the world, and then asked a professional scholar of the Murong family about these common sense, so there was nothing inappropriate.

In fact, there are many NPCs in Cangling Inn that players can inquire about information from, such as the drunk monk Lushan, the leaders of the three sects, and even Ji Tong of Bafanglou and Huaying Liujian. As long as the player goes to talk, he will gain something.

However, Murong Ying's line should be the simplest and safest choice. The information obtained from her is relatively detailed and comprehensive, and there will be no side issues after the inquiry. Talking to other NPCs may bring about a series of chain reactions, and may trigger some plot twists that increase the difficulty of passing the level.

In addition, there is a hidden branch line, which is extremely difficult. It is to find the mysterious shopkeeper of Cangling Inn to inquire about the news, thereby triggering a hidden task. Of course... Master Jibu failed to trigger this plot, which has to be said to be a blessing.

………… When he returned to the room, the sun had set, and none of his teammates had returned. Jibu naturally heard the system prompts and saw the various changes in the main and branch lines in the menu task bar, so he was mentally prepared for this result.

However, Atobe couldn't help but pace back and forth in the room, muttering: "What do you mean by meeting up after the sun sets... Who are you kidding, bastard!"

Knock knock - someone knocked on the door.

Atobe's expression changed slightly. He knew that the four people on the front line of hell didn't seem to be the kind of people who would knock on the door. As team members, they didn't need to knock on any door to enter the house. So the person outside the door at this moment must be an outsider.

"Who is it?" Atobe asked tentatively, his voice was neither high nor low, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh, I'm here to bring food to the guests." The person outside the door answered.

Atobe walked to the door, unbolted the door, and slowly opened the door. Standing outside the door was indeed just a waiter from the inn, holding a wooden tray in his hand, with some wine and food on it.

"Who asked you to bring it?" Atobe asked cautiously. Anyway, he didn't remember asking for this. His first reaction was: Maybe it was arranged by Lin Chang? He even took care of our meals. Did he see that we didn't have any money?

"It's a guest named Gongsun Li in the Di room." The waiter replied, "Oh, he also asked me to bring a message to a Fengliao owner. I wonder who you are..." The guys in these shops are really honest and don't know anything about the underworld. They don't know what Gongsun Li, Fengliao owner, what these names represent. Whether it's a big shot or a nobody, they just pass on the message.

"Tell me, I'll tell Fengliao owner." When Jibu heard Gongsun Li's name, he immediately became suspicious and thought: It should be this guy who smashed the body last night. Now he's doing this again. It's obvious that the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken... The waiter put the wine and food on the table and said, "He said... Thanks to Fengliao owner's care, he hopes Fengliao owner can keep the 'secret' all the time, so that they Wanxialou will be grateful. These wine and food are his apology for the previous things."

"That's all he said?" Jibu asked.

"Yes, that's all. I'll pass it to you verbatim." The waiter replied.

"Well... OK, you go out first." Atobe said.

"Yes." The waiter replied, and then left the room, closing the door.

Atobe then stepped forward, opened the door again, and looked around. After confirming that there was no suspicious person looking here, he closed the door, bolted it, and walked to the table again.

The waiter put three plates, a small dish and a pot of wine on the table. There weren't many things, so they could be delivered on a tray, so the waiter had time to knock on the door.

The three plates contained a stir-fried vegetable dish and two meat dishes that were not bad; the small dish contained peanuts, which were ordinary; and the pot of wine seemed to have some reputation. The wine was in a white jade wine bottle that looked quite expensive, and there was a hint of wine aroma coming out of the bottle.

The father of Master Jibu was a businessman, and he had many dinner and wine parties, and he would bring his wife and children to some occasions. Jibu was not very interested in wine, but he was not unsophisticated and could not tell the good from the bad. He knew that this pot of wine must be good wine. If it were put in the real world, it might be worth the price of half a table of banquets. It was really out of place with the dishes in front of him.

"Hmm..." Atobe opened the bottle and sniffed it. "The taste simulation of this game is really lifelike. This kind of luxury goods in real life would probably be "luxury data" in the game mall, and the price must be very high." He said to himself and put the bottle down. "Huh... Such an obvious trap, and such a despicable trick, you have the nerve to show it to the public?" He snorted coldly, "If there is no poison in this wine and food, I will eat the shit on the spot!"
