A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

When Zhao Jun mentioned the name of the website "Mission Shopping", Fang Shiqing felt a little familiar.After thinking about it for a while, I remembered such a book.

He'd seen it a few times before, while rummaging through the library for something else, and had been impressed by the all-too-standard bestseller title.

After briefly flipping through the book, he finally got a preliminary understanding of the background information of that website.

The "Mission Shopping" website is a sub-site of the largest shopping website "Xingou" in the game setting. It is the most successful step taken by this website on the road from a giant to an oligarch.

Although the website adopts the form of a task board, each transaction is subject to official supervision, and there is almost no malicious fraud.Although buyers have to pay slightly higher than the market price, they can get the most unpopular items, the freshest food as quickly as possible, and get high-quality one-to-one services, so they are very popular among certain groups.

(Of course, even Fang Shiqing, who has no knowledge of market management, knows very well that this is basically nonsense. A large-scale website of this type can probably only be built in a game.)

The information in the book is basically the same as what Zhao Jun introduced before. He is right, it is indeed very profitable to accept tasks in this way.

In addition, Fang Shiqing is also very concerned about the "Xinbuy" website mentioned in the book.

It can be inferred from the text that "Xinbuy" is similar to ○bao in reality, and its operation method is also very similar. The products on it are all kinds of strange things, and it is very convenient to use.

——If you can do online shopping on this website, can you directly buy various props that are not sold in Fengyue Town?

And combined with practical considerations, online shopping may be cheaper than physical stores!

He stared at the pages of the book for a while, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Now that I think about it, the biggest obstacle to online shopping is that he doesn't have the equipment to surf the Internet.

The only known computer is in the hands of Zhao Jun. If you want to shop online, you must explain the situation to Zhao Jun and borrow the computer from him.

And Zhao Jun doesn't seem to want to see his teammates spend money, and he will probably have to explain to him the necessity of online shopping...

It's troublesome just thinking about it.

Fang Shiqing's already depressed mood immediately dropped by a few percentage points.

"--What are you looking at?"

Suddenly someone from behind tapped his shoulder and asked softly.

He looked back and saw You Qingyu standing behind, holding two books in his hands, looking at him curiously.

"What a coincidence, are you here to borrow books too?"

"Nothing, just take a look."

Fang Shiqing casually stuffed the book "Mission Purchase" back on the shelf.

After all, Zhao Jun really didn't want You Qingyu to know about it.Even if Fang Shiqing had no obligation to keep it secret for him, he didn't want to directly disclose what others had worked so hard to conceal.

"What about you, are you here to look for books too?"

You Qingyu nodded: "Well, I've already found it, and I'm about to leave."

This is the library, and even though there were only the two of them in the huge room, and both of them lowered their voices, this behavior was still inappropriate.Anyway, Fang Shiqing was fine, and You Qingyu was about to leave, so the two simply walked out side by side.

After pushing open the door of the reading room and walking along the corridor for a while, the noise of construction outside immediately filled my ears.Over the past few days, the construction site behind the mayor's house has been bustling with activity, and the direct performance is that the noise is getting louder and louder.

Although this library is very old, the sound insulation effect is better than that of ordinary buildings. Even here, you can feel the noise. God knows how other residents tolerate it.

"I can't do gardening for the time being, so I'm going to do something else first." You Qingyu showed Fang Shiqing the books in his hand, one was "Introduction to Weaving" and the other was "Simple Embroidery You Can Learn", "For example, try to learn some handicrafts that you can do at home, so that you can use your evening time."

This girl seemed quite aloof when we first met, but she talked a lot when we got to know each other well.

"Isn't this good, come on."

——She is obviously working hard.Fang Shiqing thought of what Zhao Jun said before, "Only you and I are trying our best to make money", and couldn't help sighing, feeling that Zhao Jun was a bit narrow-minded.

In fact, among all the players except Fang Shiqing, who is not doing their best to make money, just to leave early?

Thinking of this, the irritability that had been suppressed before surged up again.

You Qingyu came to the librarian's seat at the door.Because Xiao Fengdi was not around, she went to the librarian's seat to register her name and bibliography by herself.

Thinking of what she had said before, Fang Shiqing couldn't hold back, and blurted out, "Well, about what you said before, the nightmare after coming out of the dungeon..."

What is the hypothetical scenario of becoming an NPC?

"Hey?"

You Qingyu looked up blankly, "What did you say?" The closer you got to the door, the louder the noise became. If you didn't deliberately raise your voice, you wouldn't be able to hear what others were saying.

"……nothing."

After such a buffer, Fang Shiqing came to his senses and immediately swallowed the previous question back.No one wants to recall the nightmare, besides, it seems too deliberate to suddenly ask about the past after such a long time.

No, in the final analysis, there is no point in asking about that kind of thing.

He came over, helped You Qingyu take the seal hanging on the corner of the table, and dipped it in the ink pad.

Before leaving, You Qingyu glanced at the empty seats and sighed.

"It's not a good way to say it, but, to be honest, it's a good thing Brother Xiao isn't here today. If he's sitting here staring at me, I might not even have the courage to walk into the library - he looks too scary today Well, I don't know what happened?"

"Should be all right? The boss said he didn't sleep well."

"Didn't sleep well? It's true that insomnia can make people irritable, but he doesn't look like ordinary insomnia..."

You Qingyu paused for a moment, then frowned.

"Could it be a collision with evil spirits, ghosts pressing the bed or something."

"—No way, it's a boss after all..."

As he talked, he couldn't help but worry.

That's true, but according to previous understanding, "Spirit Eliminator" seems to be just an ordinary person who has been trained and trained, unlike those masters in novels and movies who can move mountains and seas, subdue demons and subdue demons Magic, playing full-screen special effects.He'll get sick, hurt, weak, and of course... something unexpected.

It's over, and I'm getting more and more worried.

As a result, after You Qingyu left, he hesitated and went into the library again, and walked towards the lounge.

At first, I didn't intend to disturb others this time, but it's okay to go and check the situation... right?

At first he thought that the boss might not be there, but he found that the door of the lounge was locked again.

The three-colored cat, Xiao Hua, squatted at the door, obediently licking its paws and washing its face. As soon as it saw him, it immediately clung to him, rubbed around his legs, and barked a few times flatteringly.

Fang Shiqing scratched Xiaohua's ears: "...you were locked out again?"

Xiao Hua pitifully yelled at him a few more times.

Fang Shiqing knocked on the door tentatively, but got no response for a long time.

After hesitating for a while, he found the key along the red thread around its neck, bent down and opened the door.

The room was very quiet.The lounge is near the middle of the library. Like the reading room, it is the place that can best block noise. He quickly closed the door to shut out the noise behind him.

Xiao Hua jumped off the ground and ran to eat cat food.

——Is the boss not here?

Fang Shiqing stretched his neck to look around, and finally found Xiao Fengdi a few seconds later.

He sat alone on the seat against the wall, with his back against the back of the chair, his head bowed, and he didn't respond to the fact that Shi Qing opened the door and came in.

……Fell asleep?

Fang Shiqing walked over without daring to take a breath, and found that the other party was indeed asleep.

He didn't seem to be sleeping comfortably, but it was heavy.The brows were tightly furrowed, the drooping eyelids trembled from time to time, the curved neck undulated slightly, and the arms hung down naturally, showing a relaxed state.

Looking at the blue and black eyes of the other party, Fang Shiqing suddenly felt sad and felt a little guilty.

Although he doesn't know why he is in poor condition, but he once said "As long as I am alive, I will do my best to prevent you from having an accident", so he must feel that the burden on his shoulders is heavy.

People must be full of thoughts on how to let other players survive, but on my side...

He looked around and found a coat hanging on the hook behind the door, so he tiptoed over to take it off, intending to put it on his body.

It's spring now, so it's not really cold, but the library doesn't have any heating equipment, so if you just fall asleep like this, you might catch a cold——

Although I don't know if I will catch a cold in the game.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengdi woke up suddenly just as he approached and before he could reach out his hand.

"—"

He raised his head, his eyes were sober, almost without the hazy feeling when he first woke up.

Fang Shiqing was either advancing or retreating immediately, so embarrassed that he wished he could hide the coat he was carrying behind his back.

"That... Boss, are you awake?"

"Well," the other party looked at him for a long time before slowly replying, "It's you."

"Sorry, I opened the door and came in..."

He didn't know why, but he had a guilty conscience of being caught doing something bad, and he didn't even know where to put his eyes. "I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I'll... get out now."

"No need." Xiao Fengdi stood up, moved his limbs, and pressed his stiff neck and shoulders, "It's okay. I didn't plan to sleep at this time. And you didn't disturb me; I woke up by myself. "

After speaking, he naturally reached out and took the coat from Fang Shiqing's hand: "You came to see me, did you find anything new? Or did you encounter some special circumstances?"

"No, no," Fang Shiqing hurriedly waved his hands, "It's nothing, just... I just came to check something, thinking that since I've come here, I'll come and have a look, sorry to bother you—"

"That is to say," Xiao Fengdi smiled faintly for some reason, "Are you here to see me?"

"..."

Unable to refute.

Although I can't refute it...but I always feel that something is weird.

"Indeed, I'm not at ease," he said, "Boss, you don't seem to be feeling well this morning. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, it's really just lack of sleep. It will be much better if you catch up on sleep, don't worry."

Xiao Fengdi pointed to the opposite chair to let him sit down, and said with a relaxed expression, "You also know that the unfinished building nearby is being demolished and rebuilt recently, and it's really too noisy."

The lounge is fairly quiet, but there is no bed here, and Xiao Fengdi doesn't sleep here at night.

He lives in a small single room similar to a duty room near the door. Because it is very close to the door, the noise is very clear, and it is annoying to hear.

Hearing what he said, Fang Shiqing felt a little more at ease: "It's really noisy. Didn't Zeng Xin say that even the mayor didn't want to stay in the house anymore. Boss, are you resting today? Why don't you go out for a walk too? "

"It doesn't matter during the day, the lounge is fine too," Xiao Fengdi shook his head, "I can't stand it at night. I don't know how fast the construction period is for that building, and it's been under construction all night—"

"Huh? Is it also under construction at night?"

"Ah."

"That's really..."

In reality, if there is any project that dares to do this, it must not be complained to death by residents.Taking a step back, it is very difficult to do work at night, and the workers also need to rest.

Wait a moment.

Something seems wrong.

"Wait, boss, you mean, at night...?"

Fang Shiqing suddenly stood up, "At night in Fengyue Town, everyone will hide inside and lock the doors and windows! How could there be a construction team working? How can they work?"

*

"..." Xiao Fengdi looked at him speechlessly, "Well, don't get excited, just listen to me."

"..."

Looking at the other party's expression, Fang Shiqing sat back silently.

"That... have you thought of this before?"

Thinking about it, there is so much noise outside in the middle of the night, anyone will feel strange, especially in Fengyue Town, a land that mutates at night.

"Yeah." Xiao Fengdi said, "I also thought it was abnormal at first, so I got up in the middle of the night to check, and found that there were indeed workers busy there. I also asked other NPCs around during the day, and everyone's reaction was very good. normal."

"Actually, the east side of the town is much safer than the west side. There are basically no ghosts, and occasionally people walk around in the middle of the night." He added.

"……Oh."

Fang Shiqing felt a burst of shame, and silently buried his face in his palms.

He should have known it earlier, such an obvious problem, why wait until he discovered it, the boss is not a bad brain.

"Cough, but," Xiao Fengdi cleared his throat, as if to relieve his embarrassment, "I don't think this is a good thing. The east side of the town is relatively safe, and it's not that there are no abnormal phenomena. They are like this day and night If you keep working, you're afraid something will happen to you."

"...I hope it's all right." However, it's too late to hold back your dignity at this time, Fang Shiqing covered his face and said dejectedly, "I hope this building will be finished soon, and then you can have a good rest at night."

*

No matter what, after confirming that Xiao Fengdi was fine, Fang Shiqing felt a lot more relaxed, and put aside the previous worries for the time being.

It was almost noon when he left the library. He looked at the sun above his head and walked west along the road, just passing in front of the construction site.

At noon, there are still workers busy on the scaffolding, which can be said to be very hard work.

Zeng Xin came out from the exit on the other side of the construction site with a look of frustration on her face.

But when she saw Fang Shiqing, she still stopped and quickly smiled: "Hi noon, Brother Fang. Are you here to borrow books?"

"Yeah, what's the matter with you, isn't work going well?"

"A little bit," the girl touched the sweat on her forehead, "something went wrong on the construction site, I don't understand it, anyway, the mayor is very upset. You see, everyone doesn't plan to rest at noon, they are all busy .”

"The mayor seems to attach great importance to this building," Fang Shiqing said casually, "Is the construction period particularly tight?"

"Is it okay? The time is not too tight, but he really pays attention to it, and I don't know why," Zeng Xin said gloomily, "When he is away during the day, he urges me to keep an eye on him. After everyone has rested at night, I can occasionally I saw him standing at the back window of the house, looking at the construction site from afar."

"Hey...maybe it's to monitor the progress of the project?" Fang Shiqing recalled the appearance of the old man holding the window, feeling quite subtle, "Maybe it's because it's noisy outside, after all, the sound of construction is more obvious at night. "

"--night?"

Zeng Xin was puzzled, "No, there is no construction at night. The surrounding area has been very quiet."
