[Trigger a series of tasks - the mysterious red scarf (1)]
[Grade: Unknown]
[Task description: You discovered Zhen Su’s hidden identity through the fragrance on the red silk scarf. With this important clue in hand, you may soon find the truth you want to know! 】
[Task requirement: Based on existing clues, continue to conduct in-depth investigation. 】
[Task reward: 10,000 experience points, and start the next round of tasks. 】
[Tip: The rewards for serial tasks are uncertain and will lead to different hidden branches based on factors such as the status of the task triggerer and the investigation process. Perhaps when you reach the final ring, you will only get a little comfort reward of experience points.
】
[Crazy Sword Maniac] frowned slightly when he saw this mission prompt, because the moment he confirmed the triggering of the mission, the first thing he thought of was that without A'er, a person who knew Cihang Jingzhai extremely well, to explain it.
He is just trying to trigger this mission as an ordinary player, so what should he do?
First of all, there is no doubt that the starting point is Zhen Su's identity. Although Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion has disappeared, the Jade Phoenix Pavilion and the Red Pink Skull Tower, which inherited all its inheritance, still exist. He can go to the imperial city, or from the ghost market
Find out the news.
And this process will obviously be more difficult.
But for him now, just chatting with Ah Er can successfully trigger the mission, thus saving a lot of time.
"what's on your mind?"
The words ringing in his ears suddenly interrupted [Sword Madness Sword Crazy]'s thoughts.
[Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] After being silent for half a minute, he calmly told the truth about the mission he triggered.
This is also a cooperative model that the ghost market and players have had for a long time, and there is absolutely no need to avoid the existence of this kind of mission.
"Based on existing clues, continue to investigate in depth..." Perhaps because Zhen Su's other identity is Cihang Jingzhai's secret son, A'er, who had always been too lazy to meddle in other people's business, suddenly showed strong interest.
"Following this mission prompt, you should go to Cihang Jingzhai."
[Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] shook his head and said:
"I can't waste too much time on such a mission with an uncertain reward. Even if the reward of this mission is very generous, my top priority at the moment is to stabilize the territory occupied by the Northeast Prefecture."
"You are a little different from other extraterrestrial visitors." Ah Er touched his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.
[Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] smiled and said:
"If they had my current status, they wouldn't take such a task to heart."
After saying this, [Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] prepared to leave.
However, Ah Er suddenly blocked his way.
"I have some guesses."
"About this mission?"
Ah Er nodded.
"According to your guess, you want to find Zhen Su's old sweetheart through this red scarf, and then there is a certain probability that the other party will give you some benefits for the sake of this relic. Now the clues you have found are also based on this.
Is it right?"
"Zhen Su's old friend is not necessarily a friend from the ghost market." [Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] sat back in his original seat, looked at A'er and said seriously.
"I know, but for some special reasons, even if Zhen Su is dead, I hope he can still know that the woman he once loved, and may still love now, has the identity of Cihang Jingzhai and the descendant of the world.
.”
"Special reasons..." Thinking of the information mentioned by Ah Er before, [Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] looked at the other party with a more complex meaning.
In his understanding, this is probably the Tauren's sympathy for the Tauren? Or is it caused by empathy deep in his heart?
After all, he knew something about the styles of saints and goddesses from Cihang's lineage.
"Then tell me." As one of the four major housekeepers of the ghost market, [Sword Mad Sword Chi] felt that it was necessary to waste some time to give him a face. After all, his future development in Xuanliang Domain will not be as good as resources.
Some of the transfers have to be approved by Brother Niu in front of me.
And Ah Er saw the obvious look in [Sword Mad Sword Mania]'s eyes and said helplessly:
"You should have some misunderstandings about Cihang's lineage."
After hearing this, [Sword Crazy Sword Crazy]'s eyes indeed changed, and there was a faint hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
Ah Er continued, minding his own business:
"Not all men in this world are fools who will be dazzled by beauty, and do you think the man who can be chosen by Cihang Jingzhai and the heir to the world will really be seduced so easily?
This is after most people know the methods of Cihang’s lineage.”
"First of all, you have to know that feelings are mutual. For those who have entered the world, it is a part of spiritual practice. These women are not unfeeling. On the contrary, their feelings are the ultimate affection and the ultimate love.
It's just that there is a Tao in their hearts that overrides emotions. The Tao of Cihang's lineage can make them be in love and forget their feelings, thereby completing a new transformation from the soul to the body.
This also determines that the original intention of these heirs to enter a relationship is not pure, and in the eyes of their partners, it also represents deception and exploitation."
Ah Er picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, feeling a little bored, and then continued.
"Of course, those who want to play with their emotions will naturally be teased by their emotions. According to my guess, the reason why Zhen Su became a secret child, instead of officially becoming a successor like Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao, was because of her failure.
On the road to spiritual practice, her emotions overshadowed her pursuit of the Tao, so she could only hide this identity.
However, it seems that her result is not too good. It stands to reason that she should pursue her love at all costs. But based on the ending, it can be inferred that the man she truly fell in love with has most likely seen through her incompatibility at the beginning.
Purely and resolutely cut off this relationship.
Frustrated, she could only follow Cihang Jingzhai's arrangements.
Because she has no way to go and no retreat."
"Oh? I thought you were going to say that the man was dead, or that Cihang Jingzhai was used as a handle to blackmail Zhen Su into becoming a traitor." [Sword Crazy Sword Chi] frowned slightly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ah Er pointed to the red scarf held in the hand of [Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] and said:
"Because of your mission, I have determined that there is a 70% chance that the person is not dead. Otherwise, your investigation will be meaningless. Of course, you may only find a grave in the end.
But I feel that if her love really outweighs the Tao, she would never be willing to continue working for Cihang Jingzhai.
With her wisdom, even if a so-called accident occurs to her partner, she will immediately choose to defect and take revenge.
For a person who was once a candidate for the successor of the Saint to become a shadow, the most likely reason is that he himself is disheartened, or even giving up on himself. Don’t forget what the Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion used to be like."
[Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] nodded after being silent for a while and said:
"I understand, if I go by your guess, that man's identity and strength may not be ordinary. After all, in the case of extreme love, Zhen Su could go crazy enough to tie him up in the basement, and then...
.”
As a theoretical person, [Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] knows how to capture sickly girls. Especially if he follows the Cihang lineage's method of cultivating successors, any emotion in his heart that can break through the pursuit of Tao is considered normal.
The strings of human reason are bound to break.
It is completely normal for her to transform into a yandere girl.
After saying this guess, another prompt popped up in front of me.
[Complete the chain of tasks - The Mysterious Red Scarf (1), and you will be rewarded with 10,000 experience points. 】
"So easy!"
[Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] never thought that he could earn 10,000 experience points for free by just chatting. You must know that when he first entered the game, he and Niu Niu worked extremely hard to complete fifty daily commissions in three days.
, only gained 200 experience points.
This is really like picking up money.
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that this was entirely a convenience brought by status. After all, it is not easy to meet someone who knows Cihang Jingzhai so well. The other person can still have nothing to do with you based on this mere
A little clue to make a guess.
If he were an ordinary player, he would still be working tirelessly to explore everywhere in Cihang Jingzhai.
Then [Sword Crazy Sword Fanatic] saw that the second link of the mission had been triggered, with the same reward of 10,000 experience points, and the same without too many prompts, just to continue investigating along the clues.
"The mission is completed. It seems that our guess is correct."
"Since it is certain that the other party is rich and has a high probability of being alive, then Zhen Su will definitely do some abnormal behavior in Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, such as paying special attention to certain people. If you want to investigate this in depth, you can
It’s not difficult.”
"Isn't it difficult..." [Sword Madness Sword Chi] was a little confused.
Then he watched Ah Er take out the sound transmission token and shake it. After a while, a woman wearing a purple gauze skirt, with an exquisite body that could not be concealed, and a cool and charming temperament arrived.
This person is none other than Yao Wanqing, one of the four great housekeepers. He was the person in charge of the Nuanxiang Pavilion in Linxue, and was once a disciple of the Wuye Huafang established by the Blood Widow.
Now that the Blood Widow is not in the ghost market, she has extremely high authority regarding the transfer of intelligence from Zeng Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion.
"This is the information you want."
After Yao Wanqing handed a stack of documents to Ah Er, she looked at [Sword Madness Sword Chi] and said:
"I happened to have an official matter to deal with when I came here. Regarding the distribution of some real estate properties of the Huanjia Fang clan, except for the hidden power in their hands, all the properties on the surface have been replaced."
Then she took out a few more lists and handed them to [Sword Madness] and said:
"As the next person in charge of the Northeastern state capital, you need to make a choice."
"Choose? Can't you want them all?" [Knivesman Sword Maniac] asked subconsciously. He knew that he was also a migrant worker. To take over these properties, he would definitely have to pay a certain amount of funds to the ghost market on a monthly basis, but what about this kind of free money?
It's all about making money.
As for the labor required, for those players who focus on business, demand simply exceeds supply.
After all, apart from the first-test players and some second-test players, among the largest number of third-test players, there are probably only a dozen or so people who own a shop.
In fact, based on the whims of players, as long as they can make some changes based on the actual local conditions and catch up with the technological innovation of the ghost market, they can really make money in any business, such as the one that specializes in selling Xiao Liu Bei's "It's Your Fat"
Tiger] can achieve financial freedom. This is an excellent example.
Then [Sword Crazy Sword Fanatic] looked at the names of a bunch of shops and manors listed on the list, and his mouth watered subconsciously.
At this time, Yao Wanqing reminded:
"You need to first figure out the manpower you have, especially the manpower you can trust. These shops are handed over to you and you need to do a good job in intelligence work. Also, these industries are distributed in the eleven regions of the Northeast Prefecture.
Some of them are still in the cities controlled by the Northern Barbarians. While determining the target, you also have to take certain risks.
The most important point is the influence of the Huanjia Fang family.
This is what you lack most."
[Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] After hearing these words, he calmed down a lot.
Qin Fan's attitude was very clear before. You can do whatever you want in the Northeast Prefecture, but that area must be defended. The same is true for these shops. If you choose one, you have to pay monthly. Even if there is an accident during the period, there should be
No money should be spared.
Then [Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] took out a detailed map of the Northeast Prefecture, began to compare it carefully, and then wrote the name of the shop he chose on a piece of paper.
This will also be a great tool for him to attract ghost market players to migrate to Xuanliang Domain.
On the other side, Yao Wanqing and Ah Er chatted wordlessly.
According to some of the intelligence data recorded above, for ordinary players, information that may take a long time to investigate has been basically locked within a range within just one stick of incense.
"Eight great families?"
[Crazy Sword Maniac] looked confused. At this moment, Yao Wanqing had already left with the list. She still needed to make further handovers with the Huanjia Fang family. The relocation of a thousand-year-old family included industrial issues. It would obviously take a lot of money to deal with it.
Some time and a lot of manpower.
After [Sword Crazy Sword Maniac] asked the question, a prompt to confirm the completion of the mission also popped up.
Then the third ring started, and speculation continued based on existing clues.
"Then let's go to Quxi Yuan clan next?" [Knivesman Sword Maniac] looked at A'er. With the great butler standing in front of him, even the patriarch of the Yuan clan had to come out to greet him in person, and this task was even more difficult.
Not worth mentioning.
"The Yuan family... take it easy for now, they must be very busy recently."
A'er's expression was a little complicated. Having just cut off the chains of merit and no longer be bound by the curse of blood, the number of clan members will not be limited to three digits. It is conceivable that the men of the Yuan clan will enter an extremely difficult situation recently.
Hard period.
It really hurts and makes me happy.
It would indeed be rude to come to the door and disturb you at this time.
I heard that the old guys from the Yuan family who should have volunteered their lives had to do it themselves.
This actually gives the Dali Pills just developed by the Gudu Hut a place of use, and it may even cause out-of-stock in the short term.
"As for the Yuelinghua clan, I think it's unlikely. Let's go and go to the Huanjia Fang family. It just so happens that you have some things that you need to discuss with the Fang family patriarch."
[Crazy Sword Maniac] nodded repeatedly. Even if the Huanjia Fang clan has begun to prepare to move, the influence of the other party in the northeastern capital can also give it a great boost at the critical moment. Now that Ah Er is in charge, then
It also increases the capital for negotiation.
Then when the two of them stood up, [Sword Crazy Sword Crazy] noticed a message box popping up in front of him.
