Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1908 Selling dog meat with a sheep’s head

   "Is this on fire?"

Guan En leaned over, looked at the fire in the distance and said: "If I remember correctly, there seems to be a blacksmith's shop over there, and this blacksmith's shop has received a big order in the past few days, saying that it will make two Bai Duo sent the hoes to the tea city, because a businessman in Feihu City planned to cultivate a new tea garden near the tea city, so he needed to order a batch of hoes and other agricultural tools to send there; but the interesting thing is that the businessman split the order into He gave it to several blacksmith shops. Although he said that it was to collect farm tools as soon as possible and send them there, the problem is that he can go to the tea city to buy farm tools, because the blacksmith shops over the tea city have stocks of farm tools, so If you buy it locally, you can save on shipping costs, and in the end, it will definitely be a lot cheaper, and you don’t need to wait for so many days.”

   "Oh, so the reason why the blacksmith shop caught fire was because of this order and the overnight rush to work?" Liu Xing asked.

Guan En nodded and said affirmatively: "Nine out of ten, because there are no shops that are easy to catch fire near this blacksmith shop, and judging from the current fire situation, there should be a lot of flammable materials piled up at the place where the fire started. So only the blacksmith shop can meet the requirements, after all, in addition to the standing coal, the blacksmith shop has also prepared a lot of wood for making hoes in the past two days."

   "Then here comes the question, the fire should be related to the mission, right? So should we go and have a look?" Zuo Xin asked curiously.

  Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then Zuo Xin, you should go there and see what the fire is like. If it is related to the task, you can take it according to the situation, but remember to pay attention to safety."

  Zuo Xin nodded and went out.

As for Guan En seeing Zuo Xin leaving, he also got up to leave, because he still had to confirm whether there was someone tampering by the side of the deep well, and if he was sure that someone really set up a trap by the side of the well, then he could go back to find the examiner of Miaoshou Kongkongmen up.

  As for the remaining Liu Xing and the other three, they chatted casually, waiting for Zuo Xin's return.

   After the flames in the distance disappeared, Zuo Xin hurried back.

"The situation is similar to what Guan En said. The blacksmith shop started the fire. Because the **** order they received had a time requirement, they had to rush to work overnight. As a result, a new apprentice might not be used to such a high job. Intensive night shifts caused the fire accidentally, but fortunately, blacksmith shops in this era are basically semi-open, so not many people were injured; but the interesting thing is that I When I came near the blacksmith shop, a very special task was automatically triggered, which is to temporarily join the blacksmith shop to help the blacksmith shop complete a sufficient number of hoes before the order deadline."

Zuo Xin drank water and said: "This is a bit outrageous. Anyway, I have never encountered such a strange task. In short, this task reminds me of some factories that suddenly get a large order because of insufficient production capacity. I have to go to the nearby overpass to recruit temporary workers."

   "Yeah, this mission just sounds a bit outrageous, and it doesn't look like a mission that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall would propose at all."

Liu Xing frowned and said: "However, there is a saying that existence is reasonable, so I suspect that this task should only be a pre-task, and the really important task will be triggered after this task is completed... such as transporting these hoes to Go to the tea city!"

As soon as Liu Xing said this, Zuo Xin also recalled, "Yes, I heard that this order will be delivered early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and although the current blacksmith shop is not short of manpower, the problem is that the blacksmith shop is already busy. There is not much coal and wood left, and many hoes that have already been built have more or less problems, so from the purchase of goods to the production of hoes, tomorrow is definitely not enough! Because several other blacksmiths in Feihu City The shop is also completing the order of the merchant, so these blacksmith shops should not be able to get the materials, so this blacksmith shop may not even have the materials in a short time!"

"If this is the case, then this seemingly outrageous task must be impossible to complete, so unless the game hall of the Cthulhu running team is idle and bored and wants to trick us, then this task will definitely change the requirements early in the morning the day after tomorrow. That is, how many days before sending the **** to the tea city! And sending the **** to the tea city should not be finished, and some special plots will be triggered later, because as you said, the leader, this businessman can go to the tea city This way, he can save time and effort, but now he has to buy farm tools in Feihu City, which is so far away from the tea city, and he is so urgent about the time, which is obviously a bit abnormal."

As soon as Zuo Xin finished speaking, Liu Xing thought of a possibility, "I see! This businessman is probably trying to sell dog meat on a trick! His purpose in the first place was not to cultivate new tea gardens in the tea city. Instead, he intends to bring things like agricultural tools from other places for the reason of opening tea gardens! For example, two hundred or more hoes have to be loaded into several carriages, so he can safely arrange an extra carriage, or mix them in these carriages Some shameful things; then the question is, why did this businessman do this? Because he is very likely to be under the third prince, so he went to the tea city to do business this time, to put it bluntly, as an undercover agent. "

"Although the third prince and the others are not as sure as us players that something has happened to the new Dragon Emperor, they should be able to discover the abnormality of the new Dragon Emperor based on their information channels, so these princes who are about to age and age should only If they are not old-fashioned, then they should know that it is time for them to make arrangements in advance; therefore, the third prince arranged for this subordinate to go to the tea city as an undercover agent, and the purpose was to see if the sixth prince would arrange a surprise attack through the tea city Boyang City! Of course, if there is a chance, I think this undercover agent will also find a way to make trouble in the tea city, because the tax in the tea city is also very important to the sixth prince, and tea can be regarded as a strategic material."

"If this is the case, then the reason why the blacksmith's accident occurred today is very likely to be the ghost of the merchant, because he wanted to send these hoes to the tea city alone, and the purpose of doing so was to confuse the tea city After all, the sixth prince is not stupid, he should be very aware of the importance of the tea city, so the sixth prince may have placed some spies in the tea city to guard against the undercover agents sent by the third prince; When the hoes are delivered to the vicinity of the tea city, people will come to check them openly and secretly to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the goods in these carriages."

"Hard to get? As long as the previous goods are all right, then the spies will naturally become slack about the next goods, so the businessman can take the opportunity to bring something into the tea city! But what does this have to do with us? Logically speaking, we must know nothing about this matter, so we know that we are transporting hoes, so there is no reason for the businessman to arrange any more tasks for us, right?" Zuo Xin said with a frown.

"That's right, if we weren't players from God's perspective, then we wouldn't be able to guess so many details, so the businessman should treat us like ordinary people! So I suddenly thought of a question, that is, Fei How far is Hucheng from Tea City?" Liu Xing asked with a smile.

"It will take half a month at the fastest, right? Because the straight-line distance between Feihu City and Tea City is not far, but there is a big river on the way, and then there is a rugged mountain road, so it will take about half a month." From one month to twenty days... I understand! Leader, what you mean is that when we arrive at the tea city, it will be almost the beginning of next month. By then, the news that the new dragon emperor is dead will be over. It will spread throughout the Xinlong Empire, and you princes should take action! In this way, you players who **** the hoe, whether you like it or not, have to stay in the tea city to serve that merchant honestly. "

Liu Xing rubbed his chin, and said to Zuo Xin: "Zuo Xin, you will stay in Feihu City anyway, so you should rent a fast horse and go back to Tianshui Town, and let Meng Fugui and the others make a decision, that is Do you want to send someone over to pick up this mission! Although the risk of this mission is relatively high, the rewards will not be small, and we can also contact local players, maybe we can instigate them!"

  Zuo Xin nodded and left the inn again.

   Fortunately, many shops in this martial arts mod are open 24 hours a day, so Zuo Xin doesn’t need to wait until the next day to set off.

After Zuo Xin left, his two brothers went back to their respective rooms to rest, and after Liu Xing blew out the candles, he felt a little guilty when he looked at the wooden box containing the statue of Yehou, and always felt that there was an NPC Already eyeing it.

  So after thinking for a while, Liu Xing hugged the wooden box in his arms. Although it was indeed a bit panicky, at least he felt relieved psychologically.

   A night without dreams.

Liu Xing opened his eyes with some doubts, because when he was sleeping, he thought he would still have a dream this time, but in the end nothing happened, which made Liu Xing feel a little disappointed, because Liu Xing was still looking forward to him what to dream about. . . And Liu Xing has already vaguely felt something, for example, it may not be the first time he joined the Cthulhu running team game hall a few years ago.

  So, Ao Guanhai deliberately approached him.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing has already raised his vigilance against Ao Guanhai, because Liu Xing doesn't want to be sold and count the money back to him.

Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the wooden box Liu Xing is holding, but after being reminded by Guan En, Liu Xing did not dare to bring the wooden box back to the carriage in such a grandiose manner, so he waited until the rest left After the two brothers got up, they found a cloth bag, packed it up, and put it quietly on the carriage.

   Then Liu Xing and others set off again, continuing to Liangcheng.

  But what Liu Xing didn't expect was that Guan En was waiting for him on the way.

The reason why Guan En came to find Liu Xing is also very simple, that is, he has passed the exam of Miaoshou Kongkongmen, and as Liu Xing analyzed last night, the innkeeper is a member of Miaoshoukongkongmen, who is responsible for collecting all kinds of information. After all, if the business of the inn is good, the lodgers traveling from south to north can provide a lot of information.

   "Leader, Miao Shou asked me to go to Far West City."

Guan En said seriously: "Miaoshoukongkongmen has a very important sub-helm in Far West City. After all, Farwest City is the most prosperous city in this area, so Miaoshoukongkongmen will definitely not miss it, so I will be in Far West City next. There are multiple missions in West City, and if the mission is successfully completed, you can go to the headquarters of Miaoshou Kongkongmen! This is good news for me, because I can drop by Tianshui Town to join the alliance, but I also hope that you can write to me A letter of recommendation, so that I can get help from the league after I arrive in Far West."

I see.

Liu Xing nodded and said, "There is no need for a letter of recommendation, because you only need to report my name—Liu Peng, and then you only need to explain the situation to the deputy leader, and he will naturally introduce you to Far West City. players; but you may have to accept the missions given to you by our alliance in Far West City, of course, as long as you complete the missions, you can also get the benefits from the alliance."

"That's good."

Guan En said happily: "Then I'll take a step ahead now, because it's a time-limited mission for me to go to Far West City, and I want to test whether I can rush to a certain place in a short time; by the way, This is actually a feature of Miaoshoukongkongmen, that is, it will choose many members to act together at certain times, but in many cases these members act alone in their respective cities, so in order not to miss the best time to do it, It is necessary for these members to be able to prepare and set off in a short period of time, after all, a quick march is easy to say, but only a well-trained army can do it."

Liu Xing deeply agrees with Guan En's words, because Liu Xing also thought that marching in a hurry was very simple a long time ago, as long as everyone can run, but it turned out that it was actually very difficult after an in-depth understanding. , after all, most armies in ancient times could travel thirty miles a day, and if it was faster, some people would be out of touch.

   And when crossing Chishui four times that year, the fastest one-day marching mileage has reached a terrifying 120 kilometers! You know, this is a step by step step by step! The most important thing is that we also won!

   "By the way, leader, I have one more thing to give you now."

   While talking, Guan En took out a finely crafted wooden whistle from his pocket.
