I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 22: Biggest ticking time bomb

Views:

After explaining to the three sisters of the Yu family that the size of the herringbone room is this size, and that the inn does not provide a dressing table to enter the door and other common-sense issues, Jiang Beiran finally settled the five junior sisters into the room, although this time they five All of them are a hundred reluctances.

"boom."

After closing the door of his room, Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief. These five daughters lacked common sense compared to when he first traveled here. In their world view, the inn can provide silk quilts, purple forest grass Incense and flower petal bath and so on.

This made Jiang Beiran very curious about what kind of inn they lived in before, because as far as he knew, even Tianzihao rooms in some county towns would not provide these luxuries.

'Is it true that having money means doing whatever you want? '

After a short rest, Jiang Beiran took off his obscene suit, put on an inconspicuous coarse cloth, and left the inn. It was a rare trip down the mountain. Of course, he had to go out and trigger the options a few more times.

"Hey! Master Wu is here, what do you want today?"

"Get me two pieces of fat meat and chop them into puree. The more broken the better."

"Okay~ Just watch it."

Passing by a meat stall, Jiang Beiran, who heard the conversation, watched the butcher shop owner chop up two pieces of good front leg meat into a meat paste, then carefully took out two pieces of bamboo hemp paper, wrapped them separately, and strung them with a rope up.

"Master Wu, your meat is ready, a total of 20 Wen."

The burly man called Master Wu by the butcher stall owner took the meat and said casually: "Old rules, credit first, pay at the end of the month."

The owner of the butcher's stall lost his face after hearing this, and said in a tense and flattering tone: "Master Wu... you just..."

"kindness!?"

The butcher stall owner had just finished speaking halfway, when the strong man called Master Wu gave him a hard look.

"Why, don't you trust me?"

The courage that the meat stall owner had worked up just now disappeared in an instant, and he repeatedly smiled and said: "How dare, how dare, the little one just asked casually, just asked casually, you go slowly."

At the same time, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.

[Option 1: Go forward and help the butcher stall owner to uphold justice. Completion Reward: Sirius Sword (Yellow Level Top Grade)]

[Option 2: Make a secret move and teach Wu ashamed. Completion Reward: Pilu Helmet (Yellow Grade Medium Grade)]

[Option 3: Stay where you are. Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]

After choosing three, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Gui and said "sensible" before leaving gracefully and disappearing at the corner of the street.

"Hey...how are you going to live these days." The butcher stall owner sighed with melancholy on his face, and finally couldn't help picking up the cleaning cloth on the chopping board and covering it in front of his eyes, and wiped vigorously again and again.

"Boss, here are two catties of pork."

The meat stall owner, who was feeling uncomfortable, put down the rag and said with a big smile, "Okay, what part of the meat do you want?"

"Neck meat, and some pig ears."

"The customer is an expert as soon as he hears it. Do you need to cut it for you?"

"No need, just pack it for me."

"A piece of neck meat ~ a piece of pig's ear ~ here, you take it, pig's ear is cheaper, just give me 18 Wen."

"The money is here."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll count... Hey, where are you going, guest!? Hey! Come back! I haven't counted yet! Come back! You're a killer!!!"

But as soon as the meat stall owner chased him out of the stall with a knife, he found that the young customer had disappeared into the crowd, and he couldn't find him no matter how hard he tried.

"Damn it! Don't let me catch you! If I catch you, I'll peel off your skin!"

As soon as he finished yelling, the owner of the butcher stall saw a crowd of townspeople surrounding him. In anger, he waved a kitchen knife and shouted, "What are you looking at! Go your way!"

Seeing that the owner of the butcher shop seemed to be insane, the townspeople who were yelled at did not dare to answer and dispersed one after another.

"Ugh… "

After all the onlookers left, the butcher stall owner heaved a long sigh, and his body seemed to have lost all strength.

Returning to the meat stall with blank eyes, the boss glanced at the small cloth bag that had been placed at the corner of the stall just now.

"Damn it!"

The meat stall owner roared and took the bag and was about to throw it on the ground, but found that there seemed to be some weight in it. Although he thought it was unlikely to be money, the butcher still pulled the bag away with a glimmer of hope.

"This!?"

The butcher's eyes widened because it contained three pieces of broken silver.

"Three... three coins!?"

The meat stall owner yelled in a low voice in disbelief.

Suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the young man disappeared just now, the owner of the meat stall opened his mouth wide open.

In the end, he regained his composure and kowtowed three times, "Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!", and slapped himself hard.

"I called you a savage who killed thousands of knives, and you didn't even say thank you to your benefactor!"

After scolding himself, the owner of the meat stall swore in his heart that if he saw his benefactor again next time, he would thank him well, but he couldn't remember the appearance of that young man in his heart.

'It's strange... I usually remember the face of every guest, but I forgot the face of my benefactor! ? oops! Wang Fugui, Wang Fugui! You are so stupid! It's useless in an emergency! '

After speaking, he slapped himself hard.

At this time, Jiang Beiran, who was carrying two bags of meat, had already come to the end of the street, thinking about what the boss would look like when he went back and saw three coins in the cloth bag.

'Well, it's not easy for everyone to survive in this troubled world, and that's all I can help. '

Although Jiang Beiran determined to be an exquisite egoist when he first crossed over, he still couldn't maintain his "heart of stone" after seeing countless tragic experiences of the common people.

For this reason, after carefully studying the various meanings of the system options, he formulated a complete set of "helping rules".

To put it simply, under the premise that his own safety can be guaranteed, under what circumstances he can turn a corner and help.

First of all, people who often have opportunities to come into contact with cannot help. For example, those brothers in Guixinzong, whether they know it or not, Jiang Beiran will not bypass the system options to help, because it is easy to provoke follow-up event.

For example, Liu Zijin would find him this time, most likely because Jiang Beiran was always hard-hearted when he was the iron seal.

Most of the time, Jiang Beiran, who knew that he had to keep a low profile, tried to make himself look very "ordinary" when he did everything, so when he was the iron seal, he thought about not doing anything on purpose several times, which caused the new disciple's trial mission to fail. In this way, the 100% success rate of the iron seal on one's own file can not be so eye-catching.

But whenever those little juniors look at themselves helplessly and ask "Senior Brother, what should I do", Jiang Beiran is always hard-hearted, and finally can only use "Anyway, the system didn't pop up an option to remind me that I should maintain this success rate." There will be danger' this reason to comfort myself.

This led to his overestimation of Iron Seal. Although Jiang Beiran told them not to promote himself, it is inevitable that there will be a few accidents like Liu Zijin.

The second is that when words such as [stay away], [pass by], [do nothing] appear on the system options, Jiang Beiran will not help, and he will go as soon as he has to, without any hesitation.

Under these two absolute premise, sometimes Jiang Beiran would help the oppressed people as a reward for a little attribute or a little skill.

Two hours later, Jiang Bei, who had triggered nearly a dozen options, was satisfied, and was not going to continue "walking" around the streets of the town.

It's not that he thinks he has too many points, but that once he triggered more than 30 options in one day, he felt that he had made a lot of money and went out the next day, only to find that the system options suddenly didn't come out.

This made Jiang Beiran, who was used to relying on options to avoid disasters, very insecure. He stayed in the room all day without going out, and then the options did not return to normal until the third day. At the same time, it also made Jiang Beiran understand that he should not go too far. Trigger the system option, otherwise the latter will "strike".

In addition, after walking this night, he not only gained a lot of points, but also gained a preliminary understanding of the evil forces in Luoxia Town.

Before time-traveling, Jiang Beiran always admired the heroic heroes in martial arts novels who punished rape and eliminated evil, but after traveling to this world, he suddenly discovered that these "heroes" sometimes have nothing to do with the underworld. no difference.

Are there any heroes who truly serve the country and the people without asking for anything in return? Of course there are, but very, very few.

Many rangers or light knights often form various gangs, and often become brothers with different surnames, forming one force after another. These forces have no national laws in their eyes, only the rules of the rivers and lakes. If someone dares to violate these rules, someone will Acting as a judge, come to a rivers and lakes to end.

And when such a force expands enough, it becomes an extremely powerful force.

Some of them have developed into "cults" in the eyes of the government and decent factions, while others have formed heroic clans with strong clan and family characteristics.

Here the patriarch is the boss, the family law is the gang rules, and all gang members share weal and woe like a family.

Regardless of whether it is a cult or a heroic family, there is never a shortage of masters. After all, not everyone who cultivates is brave and hard-working, and develops a whole body of skills to repay the society and benefit mankind.

Most of them are just for selfish desires.

So even if it's just a stronger rogue in a certain town, someone beats him up and finds out that he is actually a peripheral member of a certain sect or a certain gang.

Unexpectedly, he took out a cannon and shouted at you: "A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet you!"

The most important thing for these gangs is face. Even if the peripheral member you hit has nothing to do with them, they will come out in full force. The reason is that you don't give face to their gang members.

So every time Jiang Beiran went to a new place, he would check whose chassis it was while triggering the option, so as to prevent it from happening.

And the investigation process is also very simple, as long as you go to those wine shops or small houses, it won't take long to hear a few hooligans shouting loudly, "We have XX helping us in this place today!" or "Who dares not give us this place?" XX will save face?"

For example, when Jiang Beiran passed by a tavern just now, he heard a drunk man shout, "Brother, don't worry, in Luoxia Town, as long as you report my name as Huang Gang Ma Dajiao, everyone will give you three points of face. "

Jiang Beiran heard the name Huang Gang many times when he went down the mountain. It is a gang organization that has sprung up in recent years. I heard that there are masters at the level of great mystic masters in this gang, so the speed of development is quite fast.

After earning enough points and knowing the information he needed to know, Jiang Beiran walked back to the inn and entered his room.

After closing the door and lighting the oil lamp on the square table, Jiang Beiran sat down and took out a few stalks of Ula grass from the Qiankun ring.

At the end of the day today, the performance of the Minran suit was very good, so that the five junior sisters did not attract any attention at all, so Jiang Beiran decided to continue to improve the suit and further strengthen its hidden performance.

This research lasted until late at night. Looking at the dozens of straw hats with different images on the table, Jiang Beiran fell into deep thought, thinking about what other functions he could add to it.

"Ha~"

Thinking about it, Jiang Beiran yawned. Feeling sleepy, he put all the straw hats into the Qiankun ring, and decided to talk about it tomorrow.

After chewing a "Kouxiang Pill" made by himself with Qingxincao, Jiang Beiran, who had finished cleaning his mouth, was about to fall on the bed when he saw three options popping up.

[Option 1: Sleep directly. Completion reward: Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (earth-level mid-level)]

[Option 2: Go and tell all the juniors not to run around. Completion reward: Golden Snake Catch Crane Fist (Xuan-level mid-grade)]

[Option 3: Go to the entrance of the inn to observe secretly. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]

The reward of prefecture-level mid-level directly frightened Jiang Beiran, so why should he sleep? After decisively choosing the third, Jiang Beiran took out a set of his special night clothes from the Qiankun Ring, put them on, turned out the window, and came to the door of the inn.

In less than ten minutes, Jiang Beiran saw a figure walking out of the inn. It was Fang Qiuyao who was supposed to stay in the room obediently, but fortunately she was still wearing the suit.

'Alas... This girl is indeed the biggest time bomb. '

Jiang Beiran originally thought that what he said in the afternoon would wake her up a bit, so he wanted her to digest it slowly, but now it seems that she has digested the loneliness...

Looking out for a few times, she found that no one was paying attention to her. Fang Qiuyao swaggered out of the inn and walked towards the place where the tofu nao stall was overturned when they first arrived.

At the same time, Jiang Beiran had three options in front of him.

[Option 1: Take Fang Qiuyao back to the inn. Completion reward: Qingyun Dance (mysterious top grade)]

[Option 2: Make Fang Qiuyao aware of your existence and consciously go back to the room. Completion reward: Swallowtail sharp gun (mysterious level low-grade)]

[Option 3: Follow her quietly. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]

Seeing these three options, Jiang Beiran thought for a while and understood the meaning of the system.

'Is this intended to let this girl be beaten by the society once? '

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Beiran thought it was a good idea, so he chose three, and jumped onto the roof to follow Fang Qiuyao quietly.
