C2133 Gannan Red Melon Seeds
It was hard to make an appointment in private room number 1, but Dongfang Qingyu called Peanut Bean Milk Sugar personally. He still had to give ___ some face. The dishes were served at 11: 50 a.m. The speed of Happiness Inn last time was very fast. There were six dishes and one soup. In five minutes, everything was served. A bottle of fruit juice and a jar of top quality wine. Dongfang Qingyu did not touch his chopsticks.
Time passed minute by minute. When there were only ten seconds left, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Dongfang Qingyu's eyes moved away from the clock.
It was female player who came in. She walked hard and her face was tense. One look and one could tell that she was nervous, but she pretended to be calm. Because it was female player, Dongfang Qingyu stood up.
"How should I address you?"
"You can just call me Gannan red melon seed." female player's voice was very pleasant. Her Mandarin was not very standard, and she had a bit of a guest accent.
"Did you send me a message?" Dongfang Qingyu stared at female player. This had to be confirmed. He did not want to get the wrong person.
"It's me!" Gannan red melon seeds nodded.
"Please take a seat and chat while eating!" Dongfang Qingyu also sat down after she sat down.
"Where's the money?" Gannan red melon seeds were very straightforward.
"How can I believe that your news is true?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I never lie." Gannan Hong said.
"I can say that too." Dongfang Qingyu smiled.
"How can you believe it?" The Gannan red melon seeds showed a trace of displeasure.
"Is the account on the text message yours?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
... "No!" Gannan red melon seeds said.
"Send me an account that can collect money." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Gannan Honeylush sent the account number in less than ten seconds and received a text notification.
Ding! Account received: 100 gold coins.
"This is the deposit. When you see Lord Cao, I will give you the remaining 400 gold coins immediately." Dongfang Qingyu said.
... "Okay!" Gannan red melon seeds nodded slowly.
"Eat it. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste. After eating it, we will leave immediately." Dongfang Qingyu said.
... "Thank you!" Only then did Gan Nan pick up the chopsticks. She ate very elegantly and chewed slowly, forming a sharp contrast with Dongfang Qingyu wolfing down the food.
The appetite of Gan Nan's red melon seeds was very small. Dongfang Qingyu had basically finished all the dishes on the table. When the two of them went downstairs, the Gannan red melon seeds subconsciously looked in the direction of the car. Dongfang Qingyu immediately understood what she meant.
He rented a carriage. Although experts all had their own mounts, there were more players without mounts. He didn't have a mount, but what if he went far away? He couldn't possibly use his own feet to walk, right? This would take too much time. The car industry was created by using it.
The business of the car dealership was very broad, apart from gifting people away. It also served as a delivery service, a part-time signage, and it was said that occasionally, it also served as a Green Forest hero. Therefore, choosing the car dealership was very important. One must choose a trustworthy one. Otherwise, he would not be able to come back even if he was sent out with a message.
Dongfang Qingyu chose a four-sided car dealership. It had a good reputation. The only difference was that the price was slightly higher. The two carriages were used for ten thousand miles horses. If they ran at full speed, they could travel a thousand miles a day. The price of the carriage driver was 20.5 silver coins per hour.
"The location is near the Hundred Thousand Mountains." A trace of gratitude flashed across Gannan's red melon seeds eyes. Dongfang Qingyu's understanding saved her a lot of energy. Otherwise, she would have to repair the pair of shoes there.
There was naturally a reason why cars with high prices were expensive. As they ran along the uneven road, there was only a slight vibration on the car. The resistance of the vibration was not much weaker than the top luxury cars in the real world. The main point was that the frame of the car was made of wood, and it did not have the unpleasant smell of air conditioning. Instead, there was a faint fragrance that could greatly alleviate the problem of being carsick.
It was very rare to hear that a carriage like this was carsick.
"Can you tell me now?" Dongfang Qingyu asked. Since the deposit had been paid, he naturally needed to get some useful information.
"I am life player, an insect catcher. I live by capturing insects." Gannan Red Pumpkin said. Dongfang Qingyu glanced at him. He had heard of Catchers before, but this was the first time he had seen one.
It didn't look like much, because Gannan Red Pumpkin Seed was only level 68. It was even weaker than Wu Bao Er.
"My level is relatively low, so I can't catch any powerful insects. I can only catch butterflies, dragonflies, golden turtles, fireflies and other small insects. I heard that there were many butterflies in a valley near the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that because I didn't bring a map, I got lost." At this point, Dongfang Qingyu focused his mind. He knew that it was about time to get to the main point.
"I accidentally entered a forest. There are no living trees in the forest. They are all withered trees. I am very curious. I never thought that there would be such a place in Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, most of them were afraid. The withered trees had formed a maze. I can't get out. I've been walking around for two days, and it's been nearly three days. When I thought I was going to die, I met Great Master Cao. "Gannan Hong looked at Dongfang Qingyu. Dongfang Qingyu was very quiet. He didn't say anything to disturb him.
"At that time, I didn't know that it was Great Master Cao. His situation was the same as mine. He was trapped in the maze and couldn't get out. He was on the verge of death. I didn't have much food to eat, so I couldn't help him. Just as I was about to give up on struggling, I realized that he had caught a Seven Star Ladybird somewhere and threw it into his mouth. After eating the bug, he recovered some of his energy. My Zhong University is strange. The Seven Star Ladybird is poisonous and cannot be eaten. But he is not afraid. Thus, I gave my worms to him to eat. After eating half of it, he recovered and was in high spirits. For the sake of a pill, my physical strength was instantly restored to full. Then, he gave me a map, allowing me to leave. - - - "
"Map?" Dongfang Qingyu raised his eyebrows.
"I am holding the map. I am suspicious and confused. Ask him, since you have the map, why don't you leave? He said that he was keeping a promise, that he wouldn't leave for the rest of his life. I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't want to stay in the maze. Thus, I followed the route. I didn't think that I would actually walk out. After that, I came twice to bring him some food. I know his name, Grandpa Cao. He is a very strange person, he only eats insects and the like. Moreover, there must be poisonous insects, otherwise he won't eat them. He would rather starve to death. " Gannan Red Pumpkin Pumpkin took out a sheepskin map with three ancient words written on it. Dongfang Qingyu had seen many ancient books, and he could almost recognize the ancient words. He recognized the three characters at a glance. It was Uncle Cao.
"Only eating insects?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"He eats ladybugs, ants, leeches, spiders and so on. But he doesn't eat the chicken, duck, and fish I brought. I'm not sure if he will eat anything else. " Gannan said with red melon seeds.
"Are you sure it's an NPC?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Yes!" Gannan red melon seeds were very sure.
"Didn't you ask him for some missions?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at her.
"I've thought about it, but I didn't succeed." The red melon seeds of Gannan revealed a bitter smile. When players encountered NPCs, their biggest hope was to receive a mission. If she didn't have this goal, why would she bring insects to see Uncle Cao so many times?
A distance of more than 100 kilometers, was it very easy to travel?
The carriage was comfortable. As they chatted, they unknowingly arrived. After getting off the carriage and paying, Gannan red melon seeds walked in front of them. Dongfang Qingyu followed behind, occasionally activating his Yin Yang Heavenly Eye to observe his surroundings. He did not trust Gannan red melon seeds very much, even though she looked very honest.
Dongfang Qingyu had come to Hundred Thousand Mountains more than once, and the Elven Clan was still living in the depths of Hundred Thousand Mountains. In order to deal with the Elven Clan, Hundred Thousand Mountains had suffered a lot. More than half of the land had been burned down, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains was almost no more in this world. In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed, and trees had once again grown in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It was almost the same as before it was burned down.
After entering the forest, the speed of the red melon seeds in Gan Nan slowed down. Although they had been here more than once, the forest was changing every day. Every day, new plants would grow and old trees would grow. Or perhaps... Because of an accident, the trees would fall down and break. The Gannan red melon seeds had to ensure that the route was correct, because there was more than one maze in the forest. If she accidentally entered another maze, she could not guarantee that she would be able to meet NPCs like Uncle Cao to help again.
Along the way, she encountered a few monsters and was killed by Dongfang Qingyu. This made Gannan Red Melon feel a lot more at ease. It was better to have a powerful expert by his side than to need him to put his life on the line.
After walking for about half an hour in the forest of Zhong University, Dongfang Qingyu saw the Gannan red melon seeds stop. When he got closer and was about to speak, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him had changed. A second ago, he was still in the forest covered in green, but in the next second, he was in a yellow world.
It didn't matter whether it was the towering ancient trees, the short shrubs, or the weeds on the ground. They were all yellow, as if they had been injected with insecticide. It also seemed to be some kind of disease. These trees did not die, only their color was yellow.
"This is the withered forest, also known as the withered tree maze." Gannan said with red melon seeds.
"Where's Grandpa Cao?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Follow me." The red melon seeds were surprised by his calmness, but they didn't want to cause any more trouble.
The area of the withered forest was not small. Dongfang Qingyu followed behind the red melon seeds and circled around. After walking for fifteen to sixteen minutes, the Gannan red melon seeds finally stopped. In front of a huge banyan tree, there was an old man who looked like a beggar lying under it. His hair was white and his clothes were in a mess. No one knew how long it had been since he last saw it clearly. The original color could no longer be seen clearly.
"Uncle Cao, I've come to see you. Are you alright?" When Gannan's red melon seeds shouted, Uncle Cao only raised his eyelids for a moment. He glanced at him like he was half-dead. However, when the Gannan red melon seeds took out the insect, he immediately stood up. He was so agile that he didn't look like a dying person.
"Eat slowly, there's more." The insects that Gannan took out from the red melon seeds were of all kinds of colors, red and green. Dongfang Qingyu was scared when he saw them, but Uncle Cao was not afraid at all. Instead, he threw insect after insect into his mouth with a look of excitement. He ate them like he was eating melon seeds.
"Uncle Cao, let me introduce you. This is my friend. He specially came to see you." When Grandpa Cao was full, the red melon seeds pointed at Dongfang Qingyu and introduced him. Who would have thought that Grandpa Cao didn't even look at Dongfang Qingyu before making a trip to the ground. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
