When new arrivals hear the horror stories passed down by word of mouth in the streets, they usually have two reactions. Most of them will not take them seriously. It is normal for tourists to make some extra money in a city.
Another way is to believe it like the two burly men, Wang Qiao, and Gao Baimei, and are so scared that they don’t even dare to stay in the hotel.
Sun Jirou was the former, so when Xu Huo talked about the restaurant in a serious manner, she didn't take it seriously.
Looking at his attitude now, she wasn't sure that he really believed what the locals said and avoided the Bear Claw Restaurant just by luck.
"Aren't we on the same boat now?" Wang Qiao said: "What good does hiding clues do to you? In such a big fairy tale city, can you complete the task by yourself?"
"That's right." Xu Ge shook his finger with satisfaction, "I can complete the mission even without you. I'm just here to give you a chance to hitch a ride."
As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Jirou and said, "I wonder if you guys are going to get on the right path."
Although he had ulterior motives, Sun Jirou was not angry, "The conditions can be negotiated."
The rest of the people looked at each other and had no choice but to compromise.
Wang Qiao said reluctantly: "The premise is that you have to ensure that your clues are useful."
"Of course," Xu Huo pointed to the notice board and said to Sun Jiju: "Go over there and have a look. Then you will know that I didn't trick you yesterday."
"Isn't it just a notice board?" Gao Baimei glanced at it, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Tai, who was beside Sun Jirou, walked over and walked half a circle around the notice board before he discovered the article inside. He turned around and said, "There are all the bounties behind this."
Sun Jirou and the others hurriedly walked over and found that the back of the notice board was densely covered with palm-sized pieces of paper. They were all different missing persons notices. At a rough calculation, there were close to a hundred pieces of paper.
"So many locals are missing?" Tao Chengxin frowned.
"How do you know they are locals?" Gao Baimei asked subconsciously.
"Who would offer a reward to find foreign tourists?" Wang Qiao said impatiently: "The ones who can find people must be locals."
"That's right." Sun Jirou also saw the problem, "These people disappeared near the accommodation area."
She looked at Xu Huo, "Did you discover it yesterday?"
Xu Huo snapped his fingers, "How about it? Is my sincerity enough?"
Several people came back here and sat down to talk again.
"What do you want?" Sun Jirou got to the point.
"You can exchange things or spend money to buy them." Xu Huo said: "I am a very talkative person. If the clues I provide are useless, I can return the things to you after the mission is over. The premise is that if anyone completes the mission
, you have to take me with you."
"How do you ensure that someone will tell you how to clear the level after completing the task?" Tao Chengxin said: "This dungeon may not be a collective dungeon. Someone will definitely leave the dungeon as soon as they clear the level. Why should I tell you?"
"I'm not sure." Xu Huo said nonchalantly, "That's why I have to receive some benefits in advance."
"But if this dungeon is a collective dungeon, and one person can clear it and everyone can clear it, wouldn't this save us a lot of time?"
"It seems to make sense. The mission only lasted three days. It's been almost a day now and we haven't found anything." Tang Yuan thought for a while.
Sun Jirou didn't care about money, "How much money do you want?"
"Look at it." Xu Huo chuckled, "If you give me more, I will say more, if you give me less, I will say less."
"Don't go too far." Wang Qiao said dissatisfied: "We also have some clues."
"You can also sell it to me, or exchange it." Xu Huo said, "But whether to buy it or not is up to me."
The first person to pay was Tao Chengxin. She called a car and turned on the sunshade mode to block the outside view as soon as she got in the car.
"You can give a total price." She said: "If the money is not enough, I can exchange it with you for other information."
"Five thousand," Xu Huo said.
Tao Chengxin hesitated and gave three thousand, "I got some news from the government department. It turns out that all the government staff in Fairytale City except the top ones have been replaced. The replacements are players from other districts. They all belong to the same company.
.”
"what company?"
"I didn't find out about this," she said: "Except for transporting and receiving supplies, people from the government office almost never come to Fairy Tale City."
Xu Huo thought for a while and said: "You can count two thousand."
"I have two clues. First, the mission should be related to the pollution incident twenty years ago. Second, the person telling the story is at least thirty-five years old."
Tao Chengxin was not surprised by the first clue, but she was surprised by the second clue, "Why thirty-five years old?"
"I can't tell you this." Xu Huo said with a smile, "Otherwise you can give me other clues in exchange."
Tao Chengxin hesitated for a moment and then said: "You can be more specific. I have a characteristic that can identify the authenticity of words. Even if I finally find the storyteller, there must be someone who can tell whether what the other person said is true or false."
Xu Huo became a little interested, "How far can it reach?"
"More than 20% will be judged as a lie." So Tao Chengxin knew that he was not lying.
Xu Huo thought for a few seconds and then said: "Okay, I can tell you about it."
"The pollution incident from twenty years ago can be pushed back at least two to three years. Only people over thirty-five years old may know the full story of the incident. The story required by the mission should be within this scope."
Tao Chengxin glanced at him thoughtfully, remained silent for a few seconds, and then got out of the car.
The second person to come was Sun Jirou. Before she could speak, Xu Huo said directly: "Ten thousand white notes, no bargaining."
Sun Jirou paid the money directly without counter-offering at all.
Xu Huo still told you the two clues, and said with a smile: "For the sake of us traveling together, I can tell you an additional piece of news."
Sun Jirou stared at him.
"This instance has more than nine players."
nonsense.
Sun Jirou curled his lips and left.
Only two of the last three bought half of the clues, and they agreed on a time and place to meet again. Wang Qiao and Gao Baimei left cursing.
"Thank you for your patronage." Xu Huoxi said goodbye to several people with a smile, and then took a taxi to the largest shopping mall in the center of Fairy Tale City.
After staying inside for about half an hour, he came out and contacted the tour guide who had given him his business card before.
The two met at True Love Square, and Xu Huo spent some money to ask the girl in the white dress to be his tour guide and introduce the history and culture of the fairy tale city.
The two of them wandered around the Fairy Tale City all afternoon. In the afternoon, it started to rain petals in the Fairy Tale City.
Artificial rain of petals.
Several oval-shaped spaceships hovered over the fairy tale city, and from time to time they released some small aircraft. They carried water and flower petals and evenly sprinkled them on the ground. The whole city was filled with the fragrance of flowers within ten minutes.
The girl in the white skirt reached out to take a few watery petals and put them in her mouth to chew. Seeing Xu Huo looking at her, she explained: "This is also a regular program in the fairy tale city. These rainwaters are specially made sweet water and can be eaten."
"The customs of Fairy Tale City are well preserved," Xu Huo said.
The girl in the white skirt shook her head, "It's just a formality. It's not as good as before. I heard the old man said that the fairy tale city looked like before, and that was the real fairy tale city."
Xu Huo had a smile on his face and said casually: "Shouldn't people in fairy tales age? I didn't see an old man on the street."
