Xuanwu City is located in the northern region. It is different from the exquisiteness of White Tiger City and the enthusiasm and openness of Suzaku City. The overall architectural style of Xuanwu City is relatively rough and simple. Even the characters of NPCs are mostly straightforward.

"Hey, young man! Are you here again today?" Uncle Cao, the NPC responsible for releasing the mission, was also one of the people Si Yufan sent the letter to yesterday.His voice was as thick as a bell, and he grinned heartily at Si Yufan.

Si Yufan nodded: "Morning Uncle Cao, we are here to pick up the mission today. Didn't you point out a few places for me yesterday? I want to ask if there are any missions nearby that I can pick up?"

"Let me see." Uncle Cao rummaged through a pile of scrolls, "You are lucky. It just so happens that the rainy season in the Hami Desert has arrived recently. During the rainy season, a kind of honeydew flower will bloom in the desert. Its petals Nectar and nectar are the main ingredients of our special honey wine in Xuanwu City. Recently, we have a great demand for honeydew flowers. But the places where honeydew flowers appear in the desert are different every year, do you want to take this task?"

Ephemeral flowers that appear in the desert?

Si Yufan nodded: "Yes."

"Ding! Received a mission from Uncle Cao: collect 1000 complete honeydew flowers, mission reward: 200 silver coins, mission penalty: none, do you accept?"

Si Yufan clicked yes, and Geng Ge on the other side was a little stunned, obviously stunned by the high reward.

"Am I reading that right? The reward for this task is silver coins instead of copper coins?" Geng Ge clicked his tongue. On average, each honeydew flower is worth 20 copper coins, and 20 copper coins are enough for him to eat a full meal of meat buns. up.This is probably the most rewarding task he has received since he entered the game.

Uncle Cao laughed loudly: "I don't know the young man, but the places where honeydew flowers bloom are often nowhere to be found, and they all grow in remote and hard-to-find places, because the cost of finding them is too high, so the reward is so high .”

Si Yufan nodded: "Uncle Cao, I would like to check the locations where honeydew flowers have bloomed over the years. Who has relevant records?"

Uncle Cao was stunned: "Who would record such irregular things on purpose?" But then he seemed to think of something, "However, there is probably one person who would do such a boring thing."

"Who?"

Uncle Cao shrugged: "Old Ding, a carpenter in the village, always pushes himself to be the greatest maker and calculator in the world. He often uses wood to make a bunch of inexplicable and useless things."

Si Yufan's eyes lit up, and he backed out after asking where the carpenter lived.

"Little Four? Are we really going to find that carpenter?" Geng Ge chased after him suspiciously.

Si Yufan nodded: "It's always good to find more clues."

"Gululu." At this moment, Geng Ge's stomach made a loud roar, and he blushed.

Si Yufan stopped, turned his head and said, "It's getting late, let's go there after lunch." He remembered that Uncle Cao said that the carpenter Lao Ding usually didn't have any hobbies, and he liked drinking the most. Si Yufan planned to drop by Buy some good wine as a gift.

Geng Ge muttered, then suddenly grabbed Si Yufan by the corner of his clothes, and said seriously: "Xiao Si, I will pay you back for your meal."

Stared at by Geng Ge's serious eyes, Si Yufan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay. I will remember everything for you, don't worry."

Excessive generosity will damage other people's self-esteem. Si Yufan has always been kind.

Only then did Geng Ge laugh foolishly: "That's good." He didn't want Si Yufan's charity, what he wanted was a relationship of equal status.

Xiaobai looked at Geng Ge and his master with a puzzled look on his face, "Didn't you say lunch? Xiaobai is hungry."

Xiao Hei remained silent with an unpredictable expression.

Si Yufan laughed: "That's right, let's eat first."

"I'm going to eat Buddha Jumping Over the Wall tonight." Xiaobai reminded Si Yufan.

Si Yufan: "...Okay, I'm going to buy ingredients this afternoon."

****

Lao Ding, a carpenter, lived in a dilapidated earthen house at the end of the West Street in Xuanwu City.

Si Yufan knocked on the dilapidated wooden door: "Is old carpenter Ding at home?"

The wooden door creaked and was easily pushed open, but no one answered Si Yufan.

Geng Ge asked: "Xiaosi, the carpenter won't go out, right?"

Si Yufan looked in through the crack of the door and found that the earthen house was in a mess, and there was no place to step in.

After thinking for a while, he scooped out the bottle of fine wine from the storage bag and uncorked the cork. A seductive aroma of wine spread in the air.

There was a sudden bang in the earthen house, and a certain pile of sundries suddenly collapsed and collapsed with a bang, kicking up countless dust on the ground.

Si Yufan stepped back quickly to prevent the spilled dust from staining the wine.

"Wine...the smell of wine..." A short figure squeezed out from the crack of the door, murmuring in a hoarse voice.

The other party was unkempt, dressed in shabby, colorless civilian clothes, looking eagerly at the wine bottle in Si Yufan's hand.

Si Yufan shook the wine bottle in his hand, watched the other party's gaze follow the bottle in his hand with satisfaction, and asked, "Excuse me, are you Uncle Ding, the carpenter?"

The other party nodded without making a sound, and continued to stare at the wine bottle.

Si Yufan smiled, and suddenly raised his hand and threw the wine bottle into the air. The other party's eyes lit up, and his short figure leaped into the air with an astonishing jumping force, and firmly caught the wine bottle. Rolled around and landed safely.As soon as his feet touched the ground, the carpenter Lao Ding couldn't wait to pull out the cork and pour wine into his mouth.

A bottle of wine was quickly finished by him.

He wiped his mouth and sighed contentedly: "30-year-old rice wine. Refreshing! Do you have any more, young man?" He stared longingly at Si Yufan's storage bag.

Geng Ge hastily dodged to block the carpenter Lao Ding's eyes as if they were shining through the light.

Si Yufan poked his head out from behind Geng Ge: "Uncle Ding, we came here to ask something. After answering our questions, I still have a bottle of Old Naughty Red here."

The carpenter Lao Ding's eyes were bright, and he opened the door of his house with a snap: "Let's go in and talk first." After finishing speaking, he swiftly swept out a path that could only accommodate people to walk through the pile of sundries.

Si Yufan led the way into the narrow and dark wooden house.

Looking at the clutter in the wooden house, Xiaobai casually pulled out a bamboo dragonfly, and shook the crumbling debris, Xiaobai asked, "Xiao Hei, do you know what this is?"

Xiao Hei shook his head, and the two pets turned to look at their master in unison.

"This is a bamboo dragonfly." Geng Ge took out the bamboo dragonfly from Xiaobai's hand, closed his hands and rubbed it together, the bamboo dragonfly flew up steadily, but soon hit the sundries on it, with a bang, the pile of The crumbling debris returned to the earth again.

People in the house were choking on the dust and coughing desperately.

However, Old Ding, a carpenter, has gotten used to it and is not affected by the flying dust at all. He just stared at Geng Ge: "Young man, who told you that this is a bamboo dragonfly? This is my greatest invention, a T-shaped wooden stick. on wind turbines."

Geng Ge looked at the wooden stick, and said honestly: "But this thing looks like a bamboo dragonfly when viewed horizontally and vertically."

Xiao Bai became interested in the bamboo dragonfly, picked it up and took Xiao Hei to play outside.Probably because snakes can't fly, he is very interested in things that can fly.

"Xiaobai, if you want to fly, you have to practice hard. When we improve our cultivation base, we will be able to fly." Xiaohei held Xiaobai's small hand and comforted him.

Si Yufan was looking at Lao Ding's piles of sundries, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became: "This is a Liannu... This is a trebuchet, and this is... a building cart?"

"Huh? Young man, you actually know these things?!" Lao Ding asked excitedly, trembling all over his body.

"Probably..." Because of his interest, Si Yufan had read the ancient siege equipment strategy, and he still had a little impression of these equipment.

"I dug these things out of a sealed ancient battlefield. I took them apart, but I couldn't put them back together." Lao Ding scratched his messy hair angrily, "These are The powerful instruments and tools of ancient times! Can you help me put them all back together?"

"Ding! You received a task from old carpenter Ding: repair and piece together ancient equipment, task reward: experience +1000, reputation +100, failure penalty: experience -500, reputation -50, do you accept it?"

Si Yufan thought for a while, and clicked to accept. Anyway, there should be relevant information on the external network.

Over there, Geng Ge looked at Si Yufan with admiration: "Xiao Si is so powerful, they have been dismantled to pieces, and you can still tell them apart? Besides, I heard that those ancient weapons from ancient times It’s all because of the long history, and the information is incomplete. You know these things, you are so knowledgeable!”

Si Yufan's forehead twitched, so there is no relevant information out there?It is estimated that this pile of things is also a semi-finished product made by the game based on the existing incomplete data outside.If he hadn't recognized these distinctive parts, who would be able to trigger such a foolish task?

"Uncle Ding, put away these instruments first. We came here this time to ask you about honeydew flowers. Uncle Cao said that you may have recorded the places where honeydew flowers bloom over the years."

Lao Ding squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "It seems... there is such a thing..." Then his short figure disappeared in a flash through the gaps in the sundries. />

The room reminded him of his mumbling voice: "Where did I throw that parchment? It seems to be here... No? Could it be there?"

Si Yufan's black line: The things here are so messy, does Lao Ding want to find the year of the monkey?

To Si Yufan's surprise, Lao Ding quickly appeared from another corner, holding a flat roll of parchment in his hand.

"Before you know it, it's the season of honeydew flowers blooming again." Lao Ding looked nostalgic, "The honey wine in our Xuanwu City is the best of all wines! Over the years, in order to be able to collect honeydew flowers as soon as possible, I purposely recorded the locations where honeydew flowers bloom over the years, then summed up some rules, and drew this kind of prediction roadmap."

"Then last year, did you successfully predict where the honeydew flowers would bloom?" Si Yufan asked.

"I thought I had come up with a pattern, but when I went to that place, I found nothing. So I dropped this research in frustration." Lao Ding said listlessly, with his head drooping.
