Chapter 467: The game is well done (22)
"Outlander" is a pastime that Bian Jia brought back to Baiyue City. It can be regarded as a souvenir on his business trip. He has quite a lot of such things.
He has dozens of such items, all of which were sent by Lin Yuan when he was leaving.
When they were sent over, Lin Yuan told Bian Jia that special restrictions were added to these spells. They could not be copied after activation and could only be used in the corresponding bamboo slips.
So, if you want others to play this game, you can only get a bamboo slip or purchase the online version through Shentong.com.
Bian Jia didn't know what Lin Yuan's purpose was for setting this up, but he still thanked Lin Yuan, and then returned to Baiyue City with these bamboo slips, and then planned to find an opportunity to send some away, treating it as a smooth favor.
Lying on the recliner, Bian Jia took the elixir he bought at a high price, then held his breath and concentrated, silently operating his family's foundation-building technique.
Just as he was getting better, he heard someone walking in and asked loudly: "Old Bian? Is Old Bian here?"
Opening his eyes dissatisfied, Bian Jia found himself I have only been meditating for two days, and there is only a little amount of mana condensed in my body.
The remaining effects of the elixir are still working, but my mood has become chaotic and I can no longer continue.
If he were an ordinary person, Bian Jia would just ask his servants to drive him away.
However, the other party is the steward of the city lord's palace, and we still need to rely on the other party's help for many things, so we can't shirk it.
There was no other way. He could only sigh, get up after taking some time, and then raised his hands to the middle-aged man who walked in and said, "Manager Zhao, what kind of wind brought you here?"
"I heard that you are back, so I came here to see you. Was the journey hard? Were you injured on the way? How is the situation at home?"
Although I know that the other party must be asking for something from me, but Talking nonsense is a characteristic of local officials and must be tasted.
Therefore, he could only suppress the anguish of having his practice interrupted, chatting with the other party word after sentence, and chiming in from time to time. The conversation was very hard.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Bian Jia called his servant over and handed over a bag full of spiritual rice.
Lingmi is not a rare item in Kyushu, but it became a rare delicacy in the penal colony.
There are no impurities in the spiritual rice, and it is full of spiritual energy. After being improved by Shennong Valley, it has a different fragrance. It is especially delicious when paired with the meat of local spiritual animals in the exile.
Because it can only be obtained through merchants, it is often the hard currency for interpersonal communication here, and few people can resist the temptation of Lingmi.
Bian Jia originally thought that the other party was dissatisfied that his bribe was not enough, so he came to beat Qiufeng, so he could only reluctantly cut some spiritual rice and go out.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party just glanced at these spiritual rice, with a greedy look, and then immediately said to Bian Jia: "Old Bian, you and I have known each other for so long. I really came to see you. Who do you think I am?”
The other party wanted to get closer, but Bian Jia became even more nervous.
In Baiyue City, everything is based on interests first. It is not a good thing for others to get close to you. This often means that the other party will be rude next.
Moreover, even more than ten kilograms of spiritual rice cannot make the other party leave. What the other party wants is definitely not trivial, so you must be cautious.
Feeling Bian Jia's nervousness, Manager Zhao scratched his beard and smiled, then said to Bian Jia: "Don't be so nervous. I just wanted to ask, when you entered the city this morning, did you give the guard at the door a bamboo slip?"
“What bamboo slips, I don’t know?” Bian Jia immediately distanced himself from the relationship and said that he had no knowledge of that thing.
"Okay, Brother Bian, there's no point in pretending anymore. Let me tell you secretly, the city lord has taken action."
Bian Jia's pupils immediately shrank, and then he invited Manager Zhao in In the study, after serving the spiritual tea, he asked nervously: "What's going on?"
Without drinking tea, Manager Zhao became rarely serious and said seriously: "After the guard got the bamboo slips, he made an appointment with me. See you in the evening and prepare to do something. To add to the fun, he opened the bamboo slip you sent and scolded you for a quarter of an hour.”
"There's no need to go into details like this, but what happens next?"
"Then he lost interest in his best friend, so he simply opened the bamboo slips you gave him and started playing with them. It doesn't matter if he plays with them. It was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, and he didn’t show up for two whole days.”
“It’s just absenteeism, that’s not it.” “As for that person, he actually had some background. After I found out that he didn’t show up for two days, I thought it was him. Being killed in a vendetta shocked the other party's parents. The captain of the guard was also shocked, and he quickly sent people to find the person. When they were finally found in the place where the old friend was, they were lying on the bed, playing games. I’m working hard.”
Hearing this, Bian Jia looked at Manager Zhao speechlessly, feeling that the other party was a little ridiculous.
There is nothing else in Baiyue City, but there are still some entertainment options.
A mere game can make you forget yourself. Are you a bit too weird?
After sorting out his thoughts, Bian Jia continued to ask: "Then, why did the city lord take action?"
"The man's parents scolded their son, but instead of repenting, he Instead, he yelled back and said that after living for so long, he finally knew why he was alive. You don’t understand the fun of the game, so get out of here!”
“…and what?”
"Then, the couple thought there was something wrong with the technique, so they asked someone to come over to investigate and found nothing unusual. Finally, they went to the city lord's house. The city lord then took action, inspected the situation inside, and then said there was no problem, it was just too fun. That’s all.”
Hearing this, Bian Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
No problem is the best.
However, he asked doubtfully: "Since there is no problem, why did you come to me?"
"The city lord is not old, you know this, right?"< br>
"Well, not much older than my son."
"He felt it was fun after playing, but he was too embarrassed to grab other people's bamboo slips and go back to play, so I asked you to ask if you have any extra. If not, he would Go back and grab that person's toy."
"This..."
After thinking about it, Bian Jia wanted to say that you can make a copy, but then he remembered that this thing cannot be copied. .
Had Lin Yuan already anticipated this situation when he gave him the jade slip?
If this is the case, then this Lin Yuan is really terrifying.
Although he felt like someone was plotting against him, Bian Jia was very grateful to Lin Yuan.
The city lord is aloof. It is very difficult for a small person like me to meet someone at the level of Manager Zhao. I had never thought of getting in touch with the city lord before.
After thinking for a while, he handed over the bamboo slips, and then quietly gave a copy of the spell to Manager Zhao.
Seeing the bamboo slips, Manager Zhao already smiled.
After seeing the spell, he asked in surprise: "What is this?"
"Manager Zhao can take a look at some of the insights that my men and I have summarized, and it may help the city lord to leave less by then. A little detour.”
Manager Zhao looked at Bian Jia with squinted eyes and suddenly laughed.
Recently, several of their stewards have been fighting openly and secretly, and everyone wants to show off in front of the new city lord.
It’s just that the new city lord was quite mysterious before, and many of his preferences were not clear yet, so he didn’t dare to make a move rashly, lest he flatter him in the wrong place.
Now that I have the strategy, I will surely come out on top and impress the city lord.
Patting Bian Jia on the shoulder, he said sincerely: "Bian Jia, you did a good job."
"No, you did a good job in the game." Bian Jia replied with a smile. .
