'Finally... safe...'
Hiding in a cave, Jiang Beiran gasped heavily.
It's been a long time since he felt close to death like this.
Moving from the lake to this cave, he consumed seven system options in one go, plus the previous triggers, the system option has been triggered a full fifteen times today, approaching the safe number he set himself.
In other words, if he triggers the options a few more times, it is very likely that the system will go on strike tomorrow. In Qi, a crisis-ridden country, without the help of the system, Jiang Beiran is very confident that he will be unloaded by heaven tomorrow. eight dollars.
"Ha...ha..." Taking another two breaths, Jiang Beiran finally calmed down.
If at the beginning he could trigger the option by just walking a few steps and let him feel the joy before, then now this joy has turned into a huge annoyance, even pressure.
Jiang Beiran didn't think that he had let his guard down, but he really didn't expect that the desperate situation would come in such a way.
Originally, he was thinking of collecting a wave of attribute points here before going back, but now he has completely given up on this plan. After all, the frequency of system triggers is too high, and he does not have a safe house, so he is completely naked and alone. Break into Longtan.
'Is this the price of breaking into advanced maps early...'
On the other side, Lin Yuyan had already lit a fire, and quietly glanced at his senior brother who was standing not far away.
Although the performance of the senior brother is no different from usual, Lin Yuyan still faintly feels that the senior brother seems to have something on his mind, and this feeling has never appeared on the senior brother.
"It seems to have caused a lot of trouble for the brother..."
For a while, Lin Yuyan blamed herself a little, but just when she was about to say something, she heard her brother say something.
"As I said before, you have three days to learn about the major forces in Qi State, and you must answer all your questions."
Thinking that there is still room for her to help her senior brother, Lin Yuyan immediately stood up like a chicken blood, "Yes! I will definitely complete the task assigned by my senior brother."
"Okay, come back here in three days, let's go."
"Yes!"
After Lin Yuyan finished speaking, she immediately ran out of the cave.
Watching Lin Yuyan run away, Jiang Beiran sat down in front of the fire, and now he sent Lin Yuyan away. In addition to really needing her to collect information, the other thing was to confirm that the Qi State Council was in danger, and she, the Lin family's eldest Does it matter whether the lady has anything to do with it or not.
After a peaceful sleep, Jiang Beiran stretched out of the cave, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.
"Yesterday's schedule was too tense and I didn't pay attention to it. Now that I'm relaxed, I feel that this Qi country is indeed one of the countries closest to the Central Plains. Even if there is no spiritual vein, the aura is as rich as some sects in Sheng country." '
After a night's rest, Jiang Beiran's sense of anxiety that his phone only had 1% battery left has disappeared. What he has to do now is to test whether the options were triggered so frequently yesterday because of Lin Yuyan.
Taking out the map to confirm his location, Jiang Beiran walked towards the place Lin Yuyan described.
One step... two steps... three steps...
With cautious steps, Jiang Beiran walked out of the dense forest slowly.
'Sure enough, acting with Lin Yuyan yesterday was the biggest mistake. '
Jiang Beiran was a little relieved to see that the system didn't skip an option once.
Then he took off the obscurity on his body.
In Sheng Kingdom, Minran's ability to hide aura was quite sufficient, and wearing it would naturally avoid a lot of troubles, but in Qi State, where capable people come forth in large numbers, Minran seemed a bit like "there is no silver three hundred taels here.", On the contrary, it is easy to cause trouble.
After putting away Minran, Jiang Beiran strode forward.
An hour later, Jiang Beiran sat in a tavern and ordered a pot of apricot blossom wine, a plate of pork head meat, and a plate of peanuts.
Walking from the dense forest all the way to this small town, although the trigger frequency of the system options is not as high as yesterday, it has jumped out ten times in an hour, which is considered to be on the verge of danger.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Beiran began to think about whether he should change his plan.
At first he thought that he could solve this matter himself, but now it was obviously a bad start, and he was strictly restricted before he started to act.
'There are really a lot of strange troubles hidden in this main mission... Is it because Tiandao's targeting has also been strengthened? '
"Guest officer~ the apricot blossom wine you want~peanuts~pork head meat~ are all ready, use it slowly."
Nodding towards Xiaoer, Jiang Beiran picked up the jug and poured himself a glass.
Throwing a peanut into his mouth, Jiang Beiran took another sip from his wine glass.
"Well... the taste is a bit weak, but it's not bad."
Picking up another piece of pork head and putting it in his mouth, Jiang Beiran continued to think about how to change his plan.
"Hahaha, what a beautiful little lady, what's the point of being with this kind of boy? Would you like to have a drink with brother?"
At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly walked over to the next table with a fleshy face, looked at the young couple on the table and laughed.
The young man dressed as a scholar suddenly panicked and said in horror: "You... who are you!? Do you want to..."
"Fuck you!" The ruffian slapped the young man in the face and knocked him to the ground, "Chi Chi Wai Wai, who gave you permission to talk to Grandpa?"
The young man covered his swollen right cheek and mumbled, "You...why do you still hit people?"
"Hit you? If you talk too much, grandpa will kill you!" Spitting on the scholar's face, the hooligan looked up at the little second who was about to come up to stop him and shouted: "Why? You want to taste grandpa too The taste of the fist?"
As soon as Xiaoer heard this, he ran out, probably looking for the shopkeeper.
"Hmph, you're smart." After finishing speaking, the local ruffian looked at the little lady triumphantly and said, "How about it, little lady, is my brother much better than this little boy?"
At this time, all the guests in the tavern had basically run around, and only Jiang Beiran was still sitting there drinking by himself.
And the reason why Jiang Beiran didn't leave was not because he wanted to meddle in this business, but because among the three options popped up by the system, the safest one was to sit where he was and not move.
The little lady was also panicked at this time, seeing her lover being beaten to the ground, and no one around was acting righteously, seeing that the ruffian was about to come and rape her, she hid behind Jiang Beiran like a doctor in a hurry and said, "My lord help me!"
The ruffian was not in a hurry when he saw the little lady ran away, so he turned around and looked at Jiang Beiran with a few glances.
"Damn it, you're a little boy again. Could it be that you want to meddle in this business?"
[Option 1: "Yes, I have taken care of this matter." Completion reward: Full Moon Sword Formation Map (Earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: Hit the ruffians directly. Completion reward: Gufeng Sword Picture (Xuan-level middle-grade)]
[Option 3: Push the little lady in front of the ruffian, expressing that he has no intention of meddling in this matter. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Oh? '
Looking at the three options, Jiang Beiran suddenly found things interesting.
It is obviously impossible for a mere ruffian to trigger the prefecture-level option, which means that this farce of molesting a woman from a good family is most likely not an emergency, but something else.
With a slight smile, Jiang Beiran chose three, pulled out the little lady hiding behind him and pushed him in front of the ruffian, saying, "I just don't want to waste these drinks and food, and I definitely don't mean to disturb your interest. Come on, little lady, return it to you." .”
'Um! ? '
Jiang Beiran's actions not only stunned the little lady and the surrounding onlookers, but even the ruffian didn't recover for a long time, and didn't know what to say for a while.
[Optional task completed, reward: Perception +1]
'Um? '
Seeing another brand new attribute point, Jiang Beiran was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up in his heart.
Because perception is indeed one of his weaknesses, otherwise he wouldn't have let Su Yuyu enter the study without realizing that he had broken into the palace.
'Comfortable. '
And when Jiang Beiran was happy about the new attribute, the hooligan finally came back to his senses, and said with a sneer, "You're smart!"
Jiang Beiran ignored him and continued to pour himself a drink.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran really had no intention of helping, the little lady was full of doubts.
According to their previous experience, the one who hadn't run away when this happened must have felt that he had some tricks and wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, so they directly targeted the person who drank alone, thinking that he would Like those heroes in the past, he suddenly dropped the chopsticks in his hand on the table and shouted "wait a minute".
Then staged a good show of seeing injustice on the way out and drawing swords to help.
'But this person in front of me...why didn't he follow the rules...'
When the little lady was in a daze, the ruffians were also a little dazed. They had actually rehearsed this scene several times, and they had never missed a shot. Why did such an unexpected situation happen today.
'I really can't fix it for you...'
And of course the ignorance of the two fell into Jiang Beiran's eyes, and he was sure in his heart that these three people were the kind of low-class people who set up tricks, but the strange thing was that he had already swept these three people with his mental power, and they were all unrefined. How can ordinary people have the ability to trigger prefecture-level options.
When Jiang Beiran was puzzled, the hooligan and the little lady exchanged glances.
After reaching an agreement, the hooligan picked up the little lady and threw it on Jiang Beiran's table.
Fortunately, Jiang Beiran had quick eyes and hands, and picked up the food and wine.
"Hey! Little lady, you should follow me today." After speaking, the local ruffian began to tear the little lady's clothes.
When Jiang Beiran saw it, he took his wine and food and went to the table next to him and continued to eat.
"My lord~ help me, my lord, please help me."
The little lady whose blouse had been completely taken off shouted hoarsely, but Jiang Beiran remained unmoved.
'unlucky! '
The ruffian and the little lady gave a low cry in their hearts at the same time.
At the same time, the hooligan turned his head and gave the crowd a look, and then heard a tall and thin man shouting: "Catchers are here! Catchers are here!"
Hearing this, the ruffian stopped tearing the woman's clothes and said: "These birdmen came here very quickly today, little lady is waiting, brother will come to you later."
After speaking, he turned out the window and left the tavern.
The little lady who was still in shock quickly got up and put on the clothes that fell on the ground, and glanced at Jiang Beiran, but really couldn't think of any words to thank him.
At this time, the scholar who was knocked to the ground just now also got up from the ground, grabbed the little lady's hand and said, "Qian'er, let's go quickly, or the villain will come back again."
Somewhat unwillingly, she glanced at Jiang Beiran again, and the little lady nodded and ran away with the scholar.
'That's it? '
Seeing the three actors leaving, Jiang Bei couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, but he guessed in his heart that there should be a follow-up, otherwise, with these three birdmen, it would be impossible to trigger the prefecture-level option.
After finishing the wine and food with peace of mind, Jiang Beiran put down a few copper coins, got up and left the tavern.
Because many options have been triggered today, he does not plan to continue exploring around today, but finds an inn to stay.
When Xiaoer asked Jiang Beiran which room he wanted, three options suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Stay in a Tianhao room. Completion reward: Ghost array map (earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: Stay in a room with a ground number. Completion reward: Wujin Mingpu (mysterious middle grade)]
[Option 3: Stay in a room with a personal number. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Ye Qinghui! '
Looking at these three options, Jiang Beiran truly recalled all the hardships he encountered when he first went down the mountain to practice.
'Yeah... Obviously, I was struggling as before, so why do I feel so much pressure now? Is it too long? '
For a moment, Jiang Beiran was filled with emotion.
Back then, not only was he low in cultivation, but he hadn't accumulated any attribute points at all. The situation was actually much worse than it is now. Going to a small town to meet a few hooligans was a bunch of options.
Now it's just that these local hooligans have become stronger Xuanzun Xuansheng, and there is actually no difference in essence.
At this moment, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that he had regained his original intention, and the psychological pressure was not so great.
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran booked a herringbone room.
[Optional task completed, reward: Concentration +1]
Seeing another brand new basic attribute point, Jiang Bei couldn't help but feel better again.
However, Jiang Beiran felt that no matter what he did, he was very focused. He didn't know what the arrival of this new attribute would bring him.
Under the leadership of Xiaoer, Jiang Beiran came to his herringbone room, opened the door, and found that the decoration inside was not bad, better than the herringbone room he had lived in before.
"Guest officer, there is a bell on the table. If you have something to do, ring the bell, and I will be there right away."
"Take it." Jiang Beiran handed Xiao Er a few copper coins and said.
"Thank you, thank you, please rest first, I'll boil some hot water for you."
Xiao Er, who received the reward, bowed and left the room, and closed the door for Jiang Beiran respectfully.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Beiran looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but think of the group just now.
'What the hell are they doing...'
