Ye Qian looked at Xu Ce strangely, why did she stop using her chopsticks? Her hearing was no worse than that of Xu Ce, so she naturally heard the conversations outside. However, those conversations seemed to have nothing to do with them. Why did the smelly Taoist priest show such a strange expression?
With a puzzled expression on his face, he asked:
"Is there anything wrong?"
Xu Ce frowned slightly and did not answer, but many pictures appeared in his mind.
In this town of Jiuquan, the foreign church was suddenly closed twenty years ago, and the door was kept locked until the recent meeting of missionaries who had returned from the foreigners, and it was reopened.
After counting the time, it seems that Halloween is coming to foreigners again in the near future, which is really not a good day!
"Hey, stinking Taoist priest, what are you thinking about? If you don't move your chopsticks, I'm going to finish the whole meal."
Ye Qian mumbled and said again.
Xu Ce smiled faintly, did not say what was in his heart, and said with a casual smile:
"fine."
"Hmph, you must know something, you cheapskate."
Ye Qian ate happily and hummed.
Xu Ce had no choice but to face the ghost emperor's sister who didn't take her identity as a maid seriously at all, and ignored her again.
In a short time, a large table of delicious food was swept away.
Xu Ce paid the money and opened a room in this restaurant. Although he was not tired from traveling all day.
However, since you regard yourself as an ordinary person, you have to live according to the lifestyle of ordinary people.
It was really boring, so Ye Qian slept on the bed while Xu Ce continued to practice sitting cross-legged on the stool.
The system's check-in points allow Xu Ce to upgrade without worries, but he still has to rely on himself to master and become proficient in the abilities after the upgrade.
But this night, Xu Ce's heart couldn't calm down. What those people said during the meal kept appearing in his mind, the foreign church...
Of course, what really puzzled Xu Ce was not what would happen to the foreign church.
Rather!
If the guess of Jiuquan Town is correct, it should be a new map, but the system has not responded at all for a long time, which is very hurtful.
A night of silence.
The next day, Xu Ce and Ye Qian went downstairs and asked the waiter for some breakfast.
The business of the restaurant is not bad, and there are already many customers here and there. Ye Qian's appearance also attracted the attention of these people. When did such a beautiful girl come to the town?
They couldn't help but take a few more glances, but after meeting Ye Qian's cold eyes, these ordinary people were trembling with glare, and quickly turned their heads away, not daring to take another look.
When Xu Ce saw this, he was confused. Ye Qian is the Ghost King, and you can just look at her. It would be better if you ignore her, but it would be like seeking death if you ignore her.
"Hey, why do you feel so cold all over?"
At the next table, a man smoking a cigarette and wearing glasses shivered and looked away. Although the girl was pretty, she looked like a rose with thorns. Moreover, the handsome young man sitting next to the girl,
It doesn't look like he's someone to be trifled with, and it's not too troublesome.
"Uncle Zhao, haha, it's a bit cold. Let's continue talking about business."
Sitting next to the man with glasses was a young man wearing a suit and jacket. He looked like a talented man and said with a smile.
"I said David, do you really want to buy my winery? You are the mayor's son. Uncle Zhao, I can give you a discount, but don't cut the price too much."
"As for Uncle Zhao, how about I give you this price?"
As he spoke, David stretched out his five fingers.
Uncle Zhao suddenly widened his eyes and said angrily:
"Have you made a mistake? My whole winery is only worth five thousand taels of silver? If you are such a bargain-hunter, be careful when you give birth to a son without a butthole!"
But young David smiled unconcernedly and continued:
"Uncle Zhao, I'm just talking about business. Besides, your factory is not clean. It's up to you to decide whether to sell it or not. Anyway, I'll give you this price, which is not low."
Uncle Zhao didn't change his expression, but he was very angry inside. However, he pretended to be calm and said calmly:
"David, you must not listen to other people's nonsense that there is a ghost in my winery. How can a young hero like you who has drank foreign ink believe that there is a ghost? Well, originally we were two
Ten thousand taels, how about I charge you eighteen thousand taels? Everyone in Jiuquan Town is related by relatives, so I will give you an advantage."
David snorted in his heart, "Who are you trying to fool? It's true that you are related to someone, but you specialize in tricking acquaintances. Is it appropriate?"
"Believe it or not, everyone in the town knows whether there is a ghost or not. Otherwise... Uncle Zhao, let me put it bluntly, for a tough guy like you, if the winery is fine, why would you be so anxious?
Are you thinking of letting go?"
Uncle Zhao finally noticed it, stared at David, and hummed:
"Okay! You are so cruel, you are just adding insult to injury and taking advantage of someone else! Even if there is a ghost, so what, I haven't been afraid yet!"
David was disdainful and boastful. If you weren't afraid, why did you sell the winery?
Just then, a man in Tsing Yi appeared outside the restaurant, with a vague aura of dignity between his brows.
Xu Ce, who was eating breakfast, listened to the conversation in his ears and looked up at the same time.
There is no other reason. There are faint mana fluctuations emanating from the person who came. He should be a member of the same sect, and he should be from the same sect of Maoshan.
"Hey, isn't that Uncle Jiu?"
David looked at the people outside and said with a slight surprise. Since he studied abroad a few years ago, he has returned to Jiuquan Town recently. This is the first time he has met Jiu Shu, and this Jiu Shu is a great person in Jiuquan Town.
The famous Taoist priest from Maoshan had to come to him to handle any family affairs.
At this moment, he happened to mention ghosts, which aroused his interest.
"Haha, a little wine."
Uncle Zhao took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"No, Uncle Zhao, you shouldn't call him Uncle Jiu."
David said.
At this moment, Xu Ce's expression was shocked, and in his mind, the system prompt that had always puzzled him appeared!
Is it possible that the appearance of this wine uncle is the activation of the new map?
"Ding, a new check-in task has been detected."
"Ding, this mission is a sign-in mission to help others spread money. The host needs to go to the winery of Zhao Taigong in Jiuquan Town to protect Zhao Taigong's life and suppress the ghosts in the winery.
And within 24 hours, arrange for Zhao Taigong to disperse all his family property, otherwise it will be regarded as a mission failure.
Complete this task and you will be rewarded with 30,000 check-in points."
Xu Ce's eyes wandered for a moment. It seemed that Taigong Zhao was not bad enough to deserve death.
Although the 30,000 check-in points are a bit low, I thought it was an easy sign-in task without any difficulty, so it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
The point is, with the new map activated, you should be able to earn a lot of check-in points. This is what Xu Ce cares about.
[Author's digression]: Sorry, I got stuck again today. I opened a new map. In order to make the connection not seem stiff, I took 4 hours to write this chapter. It hurts.
In addition, in order to connect the previous plot, "Uncle Jiu" and "Uncle Jiu" in this article are not the same person. Why use the name "Uncle Jiu"? Because the town on this map is Jiuquan Town, so it is "Uncle Jiu".
