If you ask the ruler over there, there must be a lot of nonsense.
Jiang Yue is not worried that the ruler will change his mind at short notice.
Jiang Yue’s position and bottom line are very clear to the people in power.
The Lord in Charge and the other party are not officials of the same faction, so it is difficult to piss in a pot. Even if the Lord in charge is invited to discuss it, it is unlikely that anything will come of it.
Jiang Yue returned to Villa No. 9 and asked Mao Qi if Mr. Guo had left any tokens.
Mao Qi knows a lot about Mr. Guo, but he knows very little about the tokens.
After all, Mr. Guo was the current one selected by Zhiling at that time, and Mao Qi was just an assistant.
Mao Qi may not be aware of many of the actions Mr. Guo participated in.
Just like the many strange cases Jiang Yue was involved in outside, Mao Qi was also unaware of them.
“I remember that Mr. Guo often played with a jade Buddha that was slightly smaller than a palm. That thing didn’t look like a mortal thing. Since his disappearance, the jade Buddha has not appeared in this villa.”
Mao Qi recalled: "Maybe that jade Buddha is the token you mentioned?"
“Seventh Brother, how much do you know about the secret of Daozi Lane Villa?”
“It is said that Daozi Lane Villa is related to Star City’s luck, but I don’t really understand this statement. Having said that, even if it is related to Star City’s luck, it’s really just that.”
"Don't look at me like that." Cat Seven Monsters said with a smile, "Maybe in the eyes of the big bosses of Star City, the safety of Star City is greater than anything else. But Star City is just a small patch on the map of the entire Da Zhang Country. Looking at it,
The entire planet Gaia is even smaller and pitiful."
"Boy, I'm kindly reminding you. Don't limit your vision to the safety and security of Star City. Don't think that this Villa No. 9 is your comfort zone and you can't leave it. If you think so, I guess I'm not far away from becoming my ex.
Got it!"
This guy has always had a sharp tongue, but these words were like a basin of cold water poured on Jiang Yue's head, making him sober up immediately.
With the arrival of strange times, will there be a safe pure land in this world?
Daozi Lane Villa now seems to be indeed stable and can be called the safest place in Star City. However, judging from the current competition, this place may become a powder keg at any time.
Like Mao Qi said, if your vision is always limited to the Daozi Lane villa, your horizons will be limited, and the layout will be compressed invisibly.
I have to admit that Mao Qi’s words gave Jiang Yue quite a warning.
Perhaps Villa No. 9 is just a trap for Zhiling?
Or to be precise, a test?
In any case...
Jiang Yue warned himself secretly.
Must take a longer-term view.
At the moment, the most practical thing is to improve personal strength.
Jiang Yue returned upstairs and was secretly happy to see that the output of the jade silkworm had increased a lot. He also got some condensate tobacco to ensure that it would not run out of food.
I heard from Lao Han that the disaster level last night was higher. Jiang Yue was worried about those in the school and planned to go to the school first.
Just as Old Han said, the entire Star City seemed to have become a lot more dilapidated overnight. There were obviously more potholes on the streets.
There are almost no complete billboards on the streets.
Walking on the messy but unusually empty street, Jiang Yue felt an unprecedented sense of desolation.
Except for the patrol officers at various intersections, there are almost no people on the street.
Society as a whole seems to be close to a shutdown.
Jiang Yue shook his head secretly. This is the most terrifying part of the disaster. When human activities begin to stop, that's when the disaster really comes.
With such a dilapidated street, Jiang Yue could only walk.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that when he arrived at the gate of Yangfan Middle School, someone was waiting for him.
It’s a stranger.
After some conversation, I discovered that the other party was from the black market.
Jiang Yue soon met a black market boss who he had dealt with several times, but this guy was always mysterious and his true colors could not be seen.
“Mr. Jiang, there is a big business that you must be very interested in.”
“Big business? I’m afraid it’s too big for my little shoulders to carry.” Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his position.
Having a black market boss waiting for him in person near the school gate is definitely an extraordinary business. But these days, Jiang Yue doesn't dare to take it lightly.
Big business is certainly attractive, but what if there is a big pit behind the big business?
“Mr. Jiang, your evil-proofing talismans have been well received. Now, someone has offered you a high price and wants you to make some more advanced talismans.”
“Haha, I should have said that the evil talisman was not made by me, but by an elder of mine…”
“Haha, Mr. Jiang, it doesn’t matter who made it. Whether it’s you or your elders, as long as you have this ability, this business can be negotiated!”
From the other party's tone, he probably doesn't believe much in what Jiang Yue, an elder, said. He just sees through it and doesn't say anything about it.
For them, it doesn’t matter who made it, what matters is that it has the goods.
“I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, boss. My elders can only refine a few kinds of spiritual talismans. As for higher-level custom-made spiritual talismans, we can’t handle them.”
“Mr. Jiang, don’t be too busy refusing, why don’t you listen to their offer first?”
“Boss, do you think the price level matters a lot these days?”
“Haha, Mr. Jiang is indeed a cheerful person. But the price he paid is not money, but other good things!”
“I’m sorry, I can’t make the decision for my elders on this matter.” Jiang Yue didn’t want to announce to the world that I can make magic talismans.
“Mr. Jiang, there is no need for you to make a decision now. Otherwise, tomorrow afternoon, I will hold a negotiation meeting and invite many strange people to participate. Mr. Jiang, are you interested in a favor?”
Meeting?
Or will strange people and strangers participate?
Jiang Yue wanted to refuse, but after hearing these words, he became somewhat curious.
“Mr. Jiang, whether the transaction is successful or not, it is entirely voluntary for both parties. The negotiation meeting is a feast of exchanges involving many parties. It would be a pity not to go and experience it.”
"Where?"
“I will contact you tomorrow for the specific location. Mr. Jiang lives in Daozi Lane Villa, right? I will send someone to pick you up at the door of Daozi Lane Villa around one o’clock tomorrow afternoon?”
"OK!"
As the other party said, there is no justice in business. Go meet the strange people in Star City and see how deep this circle is?
“By the way, can I bring someone with me?”
The black market boss smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem. Mr. Jiang needs to bring a few people with him. I will make unified arrangements then."
“How many can you bring at most?”
“Other people can usually only bring one assistant. Mr. Jiang is our guest. I will give you three places. Is that enough?”
“So my face is quite valuable?” Jiang Yue laughed at himself.
The black market boss smiled meaningfully: "That's because Mr. Jiang is too modest. In fact, Mr. Jiang's reputation is greater than you think."
Jiang Yue listened to such obedient words, but he didn't take them too seriously.
Yangfan Middle School experienced yesterday’s strange incident, and the security was obviously much stricter.
Fortunately, the strange incident did not happen last night. The students who stayed in the school spent the night in fear with no danger.
However, last night’s disaster undoubtedly cast another shadow on everyone’s mind.
Especially those students who have not awakened, they feel that the future is bleak and there is no hope at all. If you stay in school, when will this kind of life end? Is there any end?
The mentality of many students began to fluctuate, and some were even close to collapse.
On the one hand, they see no future; on the other hand, they are far away from home and have no idea what is going on with their loved ones.
After all, we are still teenagers. Faced with this kind of situation, how many people can have a stable mentality?
Even those who are partially awakened have experienced emotional fluctuations to some extent.
Although there has not yet been a large-scale outbreak, Jiang Yue can clearly feel that the campus is filled with a pessimistic atmosphere.
This atmosphere makes the entire campus extremely depressing.
School senior officials are obviously also having a headache.
If it weren’t for the teachers in each class trying their best to calm down the students’ emotions, I’m afraid everyone’s emotions would have collapsed long ago.
But if this continues, collapse will happen sooner or later.
“Brother Yue, Du Yifeng came to see you earlier.” Mao Doudou was very excited to see Jiang Yue.
“Oh? What about others?”
“I haven’t seen him now, he must still be at school, right?”
Just as he was talking, he saw Du Yifeng trotting over from the corridor not far away.
“Jiang Yue, I’m looking for you!”
Du Yifeng trotted over and grabbed Jiang Yue's arm, "Come on, let's take a step to talk."
Mao Doudou curled his lips with a hint of dissatisfaction, but he still stopped wisely and did not follow her.
“Yifeng, why is this so mysterious?”
“Jiang Yue, here’s the inside news. The extraordinary person certification and closed beta test are almost coming to an end, and it should be officially started in the next two days.”
Du Yifeng was very excited. It was obvious that he had been looking forward to this for a long time.
Had he not mentioned it, Jiang Yue would have almost forgotten about it.
Seeing Jiang Yue's mediocre response, Du Yifeng couldn't help but said: "Jiang Yue, this is an opportunity to get there first. If we pass the test, we will be the first batch of certified extraordinary beings in the country, and the gold content is very high."
“When will you participate?”
At the beginning, Du Yifeng invited him to participate. He tried to please him and gave him money in various ways. It was just to provide him with insurance and let Jiang Yue take care of him during the test.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Yue was the bodyguard he hired.
Of course, Xu Chunru later also bought an insurance policy from Jiang Yue.
In other words, in this test, Jiang Yue mainly acted as a bodyguard for these two guys.
It's just that according to the previous agreement, participate in the test and accept the bounty task. Once the task is completed, all monetary rewards will go to Jiang Yue, which was also agreed in advance.
As for the remaining rewards, they will be distributed as appropriate.
“It should take these two days.”
“I won’t be free tomorrow afternoon,” Jiang Yue said in advance.
"It's not that fast. It has to be the day after tomorrow at the earliest. It should be the day after tomorrow. It won't be delayed until the day after tomorrow at the latest." Du Yifeng vowed.
“Who are they?”
“You should have seen the ones from last time.”
Jiang Yue frowned and said, "Someone among them is hostile to me. Yifeng, aren't you afraid of affecting the unity of the team? If the team is not in harmony, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Haha..." Du Yifeng's mouth burst into a strange smile, "We formed a group just because each family has influence, and together we can easily apply for bounty tasks and be able to eat the soup."
These words were very cryptic, but Jiang Yue was a smart man, but he understood them.
The reason why these rich and powerful children formed a bureau together was not because of their close relationship, but at best they just joined together to expand their influence.
The implication is that it doesn’t matter whether the team is united or not. As long as the mission can be completed with Jiang Yue’s help, the others don’t have to leave.
"Yifeng, any bounty is risky. What if..."
“What if there are three long and two shortcomings, right?” Du Yifeng asked with a smile.
Jiang Yue nodded, that’s what he meant.
"A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist." Du Yifeng smiled strangely, "They didn't buy insurance from you, right? Jiang Yue, we are classmates. When there is really danger, you will definitely take care of me first, right?"
“Don’t worry, after collecting your family’s money, I will definitely ensure your safety first.”
"That's it!" Du Yifeng patted Jiang Yue's shoulder, "As far as I know, Sister Ru seems to have bought insurance with you, right? Don't worry about one thing and not the other..."
"As long as you don't seek death, it shouldn't be a big problem." After accepting money from others, you have to give them some comfort.
"Don't worry, I cherish my life the most, otherwise I wouldn't think of recruiting you to join the gang." Du Yifeng chuckled, "At that time, I promise to follow your command in all actions. If those grandsons really want to get into trouble with you, it's their fault.
Damn it, I am definitely on your side with a clear stand!"
“Okay, let me know in advance when the time comes.”
“Remember to bring your personal ID!” Du Yifeng added.
While the two were muttering, Teacher Gao Yi from far away happened to come over.
“Du Yifeng, what brought you here today?”
These days, day students basically don’t come to school.
“Teacher Gao, what you said makes me so sad. I, Du Yifeng, have stayed at Yangfan Middle School for six years. This is my second home, and I have a deep affection for it.”
“Dedede, stop being poor as soon as possible. Are you okay? I’ll have a few words with Jiang Yue.”
“Okay, you guys are chatting.” Du Yifeng put his arm around Jiang Yue’s shoulders, made an exaggerated gesture, and went on his own.
Watching Du Yifeng walk away, Gao Yi said leisurely: "Jiang Yue, Du Yifeng must be talking to you about the bounty mission and the extraordinary certification, right?"
“Teacher Gao knows things like a god.”
“Haha, these little naughty guys!” Gao Yi didn’t comment too much.
“Teacher Gao, what do you want from me?”
“Hey, I shouldn’t have asked you this in the first place, but I’m really worried right now. You can see the current situation. The mood of the students staying at the school is already very wrong. If this continues, something will happen.”
“What is the school’s plan?”
"No plan, let them go home. These are all students living on campus, and their homes are dozens or hundreds of miles away. Nowadays, transportation is inconvenient, and there are many unpredictable dangers on the road. Letting so many children out, safety must be a big problem.
"
“Let’s stay in school. Let’s not talk about the material supply. This emotional issue alone is very difficult to appease.”
“Then the school prefers to keep or let go?”
"At present, there is no order from above, so I dare not let it go. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
“Then just keep it.”
“It’s easy to stay, and we can think of ways to supply supplies. But if this backlog of emotions cannot be channeled in time, it will be very troublesome once it breaks out.”
“Then find something to distract their attention.” Jiang Yue couldn’t help but said.
