After explaining to the three sisters of the Yu family that the herringbone room was of this size, and that the inn did not provide a dressing table for entry, Jiang Beiran finally settled all the five junior sisters into the room, although this time there were five of them.
All of them are just reluctant.
"boom."
After closing the door of his room, Jiang Beiran breathed a sigh of relief. These five rich ladies simply lacked common sense than when he first traveled here. In their world view, the inn can provide silk quilts and purple forest grass smoke.
Incense and flower petal bath and other services.
This made Jiang Beiran very curious about what kind of inn they stayed in before, because as far as he knew, even the Tianzi rooms in some inns in the county did not provide these luxuries.
'Is it true that if you have money, you can do whatever you want?'
After taking a short rest, Jiang Beiran took off his plain suit, put on an inconspicuous coarse cloth and left the inn. It was a rare trip down the mountain, so of course he had to go out and trigger the option a few more times.
…
"Oh, Master Wu is here, what do you want to order today?"
"Get me two pieces of fat meat and chop them into puree. The more chopped the better."
"Okay~ Just take a look."
Passing by a butcher stall, Jiang Beiran, who heard the conversation, watched as the butcher shop owner chopped two pieces of good front leg meat into minced meat, then carefully wrapped them separately in bamboo and linen paper, and skewered them with ropes.
stand up.
"Master Wu, your meat is ready, a total of 20 pieces."
The strong man who was called Master Wu by the butcher stall owner took the meat and said casually: "Old rule, let's take it on credit first and settle it together at the end of the month."
After hearing this, the butcher stall owner's face dropped, and he said in a nervous and flattering tone: "Master Wu... you just last month..."
"kindness!?"
As soon as the butcher stall owner was halfway through his words, the strong man named Wu Ye gave him a fierce look.
"Why, you can't trust me, Wu Gui?"
The courage that the butcher stall owner had just mustered up disappeared in an instant, and he smiled repeatedly and said: "How dare you, how dare you, I just asked casually, please go slowly."
At the same time, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 1: Step forward and help the butcher stall owner to seek justice. Completion reward: Sirius Sword (yellow level top grade)]
[Option 2: Take action secretly and teach Wu Wei a lesson. Completion reward: Pilu Helmet (yellow-level mid-grade)]
[Option 3: Stay where you are. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Gui and said, "Be sensible", then left calmly and disappeared around the corner.
"Oh...how can we live like this?" The butcher stall owner sighed with melancholy, and finally couldn't help but pick up the rag on the chopping board and cover it in front of his eyes, and wiped it hard again and again.
"Boss, please bring two kilograms of pork."
After hearing this, the butcher stall owner who was feeling uncomfortable quickly put down the cleaning cloth, showed a big smile and said: "Okay, which part of the meat do you want?"
"Neck meat, and some pig ears."
"Okay, do you need me to cut it for you?"
"No need, just leave it to me."
"One portion of neck meat and one portion of pig ears. Come on, put them away. Pig ears are cheaper. Just pay 18 cents."
"Put the money here."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll count... Hey, guest, where are you going!? Hey! Come back! I haven't counted yet! Come back! You are a murderer!!!"
But as soon as the butcher stall owner chased him out of the stall with a knife, he found that the young customer had disappeared into the crowd, and no matter how hard he looked for it, he could not find him.
"Damn it! Don't let me catch you! If I catch you, I'll skin you!"
After playing in Hong Kong, the owner of the butcher stall saw a crowd of townspeople gathered around and looked at them too much. In anger, he waved his kitchen knife and shouted: "What are you looking at! Go your way!"
Seeing that the owner of the meat stall was already looking crazy, the townspeople who were yelled at didn't dare to reply and dispersed one after another.
"well……"
After all the onlookers left, the butcher stall owner let out a long sigh, and his body seemed to have lost all strength.
Returning to the meat stall with dull eyes, the boss glanced at the small cloth bag that had been placed in the corner of the stall.
"What a bastard!"
The butcher stall owner roared and took the bag and was about to throw it to the ground, but he found that there seemed to be some weight inside. Although he thought it was unlikely to be money, the butcher stall owner still pulled the bag away with a glimmer of hope.
"this!?"
The butcher stall owner's eyes widened because there were actually three pieces of broken silver inside.
"Three...three denarii of silver!?"
The butcher stall owner whispered in disbelief.
He suddenly raised his head and looked again in the direction where the young man disappeared just now. The boss of the butcher stall opened his mouth.
Finally, he kowtowed three times on the ground with "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" and slapped himself hard in the mouth.
"I call you a wild man who kills a thousand people and doesn't even say thank you to your benefactor!"
After scolding himself, the butcher stall owner swore in his heart that if he saw his benefactor again next time, he would express his gratitude to him, but he could not remember the young man's appearance.
'It's strange... I can usually remember the faces of every guest, but why can't I forget the appearance of my benefactor!? Oops! Wang Fugui, Wang Fugui! You are so stupid! You can't do anything in a pinch.
It's no use!'
After saying that, he slapped himself hard again.
At this time, Jiang Beiran, carrying two bags of meat, had arrived at the end of the street, wondering what the boss's expression would be like when he saw three coins in the bag when he returned.
'Well, it's not easy for everyone to survive in these troubled times, and that's all I can help.'
Although the various tragic experiences he encountered when he first crossed over made Jiang Beiran determined to be a refined egoist, he was still unable to maintain his "heart of stone" after seeing the tragic experiences of the common people countless times.
To this end, he formulated a complete set of "helping rules" after carefully studying the various meanings of system options.
To put it simply, on the premise that his own safety can be guaranteed, under certain circumstances he can go out of his way to help.
First of all, people who often have the opportunity to come into contact cannot help, such as the brothers in Guixin Sect. Regardless of whether they are known or unknown, Jiang Beiran will not bypass the system options to help, because this can easily lead to follow-up
event.
For example, Liu Zijin found him this time because Jiang Beiran could not be tough-hearted when he was Iron Seal.
Jiang Beiran, who knows that he must keep a low profile, will try his best to appear very "ordinary" when he does everything. Therefore, when he was the Iron Seal, he thought about deliberately not taking action several times, causing the new disciple's trial mission to fail, thus getting himself listed on the file.
Iron Seal has a 100% success rate, so don’t be like this
garish.
But whenever those younger juniors looked at him helplessly and asked, "Senior brother, what should I do?" Jiang Beiran couldn't harden his heart. In the end, he could only use "Anyway, the system didn't pop up an option to remind me. I maintain this success rate."
There will be danger' to comfort yourself.
This resulted in his iron seal reputation being too high. Although Jiang Beiran told them not to promote himself, it was inevitable that there would be a few accidents like Liu Zijin's.
The second is that when the system options describe words such as "stay away from here", "pass by", "do nothing" and so on, Jiang Beiran will not help. He will leave as soon as he has to, without any hesitation.
Under these two absolute conditions, sometimes Jiang Beiran would help those oppressed people as a reward for some attributes or skills.
…
Two hours later, Jiang Beiran, who had triggered the option nearly a dozen times, was satisfied and was not ready to continue walking around the town.
This was not because he thought he had too many points, but once he triggered the options more than 30 times in a day. Jiang Beiran, who felt like he had made a lot of money, went out the next day and found that the system options suddenly stopped appearing.
This made Jiang Beiran, who was accustomed to relying on options to avoid disasters, quite insecure. He stayed in the room for a whole day without going out. After that, the options did not return to normal until the third day. At the same time, Jiang Beiran understood that he should not be triggered too much.
System options, otherwise the latter will "strike".
In addition, at the end of this night, he not only gained a lot of points, but also gained a preliminary understanding of the forces in Luoxia Town.
Before traveling through time, Jiang Beiran always admired the heroes in martial arts novels who performed chivalrous acts of justice, punished rape and eliminated evil. However, after traveling to this world, Jiang Beiran suddenly discovered that these "heroes" sometimes interacted with the underworld.
There is 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. In the eyes of these forces, there is no national law, only the rules of the world. If someone dares to violate these rules, someone will
Act as a judge and come to the arena to settle the matter.
And when such a force expands large enough, it becomes an extremely powerful force.
Some developed into "evil cults" in the eyes of the government and decent sects, while others formed heroic clans with strong clannish and familial features.
Here the clan leader is the boss, the family law is the gang rules, and all gang members are like a family and share weal and woe.
Regardless of whether it is a cult or a heroic clan, there is no shortage of masters in it. After all, not every cultivator is courageous and courageous, and they cultivate their abilities to repay society and benefit mankind.
Most of them are just for selfish reasons.
So even if there is just a tough gangster in a certain town, after you beat him, you find out that he is actually a peripheral member of a certain cult or a certain gang.
Suddenly he took out a firecracker and shouted at you: "A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops are coming to meet you!"
The most important thing for these rangers is face. Even if the peripheral member you fight has nothing to do with them, they will come out in force. The reason is simply because you don't give face to the people in their gang.
Therefore, every time Jiang Beiran goes to a new place, he will check whose chassis is there while triggering the option to take precautions.
And the investigation process is also very simple. As long as you go to those wine shops or huts, it won't take long to hear a few gangsters shouting, "We XX helped to secure this place today!" or "Who dares not to give us XX in this world?"
Meeting face?”
For example, when Jiang Beiran passed by a tavern just now, he heard a drunk man shouting: "Brother, don't worry, in Luoxia Town, as long as you name me as a gangster, 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 emerged in recent years. I heard that there are masters at the level of Grand Mystic Masters in this gang, so it is developing very fast.
After earning enough points and learning the information he needed to know, Jiang Beiran returned to the inn and walked into his room.
After closing the door and lighting the oil lamp on the square table, Jiang Beiran sat down and pulled out a few urala grass sticks from the Qiankun Ring.
At the end of the day today, the performance of Minran's suit was very good, and the five junior sisters did not attract any attention at all, so Jiang Beiran decided to continue to improve this suit and continue to enhance its hidden performance.
This research lasted until late at night. Looking at the dozens of straw hats with different shapes on the table, Jiang Beiran fell into deep thought, thinking about what other functions he could add to it.
"Ha~"
While thinking about it, Jiang Beiran yawned and felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him. He put all the straw hats into the Qiankun Ring and decided to study it tomorrow.
After chewing a "chew-flavor pill" he made with Qingxincao, Jiang Beiran was about to fall on the bed after finishing his oral hygiene, when he saw three options popping up.
[Option 1: Go to sleep directly. Completion reward: Star Movement (prefecture-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Go ahead and tell all the junior sisters not to run around. Completion reward: Golden Snake Capturing Crane Fist (Mid-grade Mysterious Level)]
[Option 3: Go to the inn door and observe secretly. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
The reward of the prefecture-level mid-level frightened Jiang Beiran instantly. Why should he sleep now? After decisively choosing the third choice, Jiang Beiran took out a set of his special night clothes from the Qiankun Ring and put it on, turned out the window, and came
Arrive at 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. Fortunately, she was still wearing the Minran suit.
'Alas...this girl is indeed the biggest time bomb.'
Jiang Beiran originally thought that his words in the afternoon would wake her up a bit, so he wanted her to digest it slowly. However, now it seems that she is feeling lonely...
After looking out for a while, Qiu Yao walked out of the inn and walked towards the place where the tofu noodle stall was overturned when they first arrived.
At the same time, three more options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Capture Fang Qiuyao back to the inn. Completion reward: Qingyun Dance (Xuan level top grade)]
[Option 2: Let Fang Qiuyao realize your presence and go back to the room consciously. Completion reward: Swallow-tailed Divine Spear (low-grade Xuan level)]
[Option 3: Follow her quietly. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
Seeing these three options, Jiang Beiran thought about it for a while and understood the meaning of the system.
'Are you going to let this girl get beaten up by society?'
Shrugging, Jiang Beiran thought this was a good note, so he chose three, jumped on the roof and followed Fang Qiuyao quietly.
PS: It’s a big chapter of 4000 words, two chapters combined into one, otherwise there will be a very ecstatic chapter. (I’m afraid of your razor blades)
