Chapter 467: Good Game Making (22)
"The Stranger" was a recreational item that Bian Jia brought back to Baiyue City. It was a souvenir from a traveling merchant's journey, and he had quite a lot of such items.
He had dozens of such items, all of which were sent by Lin Yuan when he was about to leave.
When they were sent to him, Lin Yuan told Bian Jia that these spells had special restrictions added to them, and they could not be copied after activation, and could only be used in the corresponding bamboo slips.
Therefore, if you want others to play this game, you can only have one bamboo slip per person, or purchase the online version through Shentong.com.
Bian Jia didn't know what Lin Yuan's intention was in setting this up, but he still thanked Lin Yuan, and then took these bamboo slips back to Baiyue City, and then prepared to find an opportunity to send some out, just as a favor.
Lying on the recliner, Bian Jia took the elixir he bought at a high price, and then held his breath and concentrated, silently practicing his family's foundation-building skills.
Just when he was getting into the groove, he heard someone walk in and asked loudly, "Old Bian? Is Old Bian here?"
Opening his eyes with dissatisfaction, Bian Jia found that he had only been meditating for two days, and only a little bit of mana had been condensed in his body.
The remaining effect of the elixir was still working, but his mind was already in a mess and he couldn't continue.
If it were an ordinary person, Bian Jia would have just asked the servant to drive him away.
But the other party was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, and he still needed his help in many things, so he couldn't refuse.
There was no way, he could only sigh, get up after finishing his work, and then bow to the middle-aged man who walked in and said, "Manager Zhao, what brought you here?"
"I heard that you're back, so I came to see you. Was this journey hard? Were you injured on the way? How's the situation at home?"
Although he knew that the other party must have something to ask of him, talking nonsense was a characteristic of local officials and he had to appreciate it.
Therefore, he could only suppress the annoyance of being interrupted in his practice, and chatted with the other party in a disjointed manner, and had to agree from time to time, which was very tiring.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Bian Jia called the servant over and sent a full bag of spiritual rice over.
Spiritual rice is not a rare item in Jiuzhou, but it has become a rare delicacy in the exile area.
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 particularly delicious when paired with the meat of local spiritual beasts in the exile area.
Because it can only be obtained through traveling merchants, it is often the hard currency for interpersonal communication here, and few people can resist the temptation of spiritual rice.
Bian Jia thought that the other party was dissatisfied with his insufficient bribe, so he came to ask for money, so he could only reluctantly cut off some spiritual rice.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party just glanced at the spiritual rice, his greedy eyes flashed, and then he immediately said to Bian Jia: "Old Bian, we have known each other for so long, I really came to see you. Who do you think I am?"
The other party tried to get close to him, but Bian Jia became more nervous.
In Baiyue City, everything is based on interests. It is not a good thing for others to get close to you. This often means that the other party will be rude next.
And more than ten kilograms of spiritual rice can't make the other party leave. What the other party wants is definitely extraordinary and 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 want to ask, when you entered the city this morning, did you give a bamboo slip to the guard at the door?"
"What bamboo slip, I don't know?" Bian Jia immediately distanced himself from the matter, saying that he had no idea about that thing.
"Okay, Brother Bian, it's no use pretending. I'll tell you something in secret, the city lord has taken action."
Bian Jia's pupils shrank immediately, and then he invited Manager Zhao into the study, served him spiritual tea, and asked nervously, "What's going on?"
Without drinking tea, Manager Zhao became serious for a rare time and said seriously, "After the guard got the bamboo slips, he asked his lover to meet him in the evening to prepare for something. To liven up the atmosphere, he deliberately opened the bamboo slips you sent and scolded you for a quarter of an hour."
"There's no need to talk about such details, and then what happened?"
"Then he lost interest in being with his lover, so he just hit I opened the bamboo slips you gave me and started playing. It was not a big deal to play, but it was dark and dark, and I didn't show up for two days. "
"It's just absenteeism, not that serious."
"As for that person, he actually has some background. After finding out that he hadn't shown up for two days, they thought he was killed by someone, which scared the other party's parents. The captain of the guards was also shocked, and hurriedly sent people to look for him. Finally, he found him in the place where the old man and his lover were. When they were found, the two were lying on the bed, playing games enthusiastically. "
Hearing this, Bian Jia looked at Manager Zhao speechlessly, feeling that the other party was a bit absurd.
Baiyue City has nothing else, but there are still some entertainment methods.
You are too weird to play a game that makes you forget everything.
After sorting out his thoughts, Bian Jia continued to ask: "Then what? Why did the city lord take action?"
"The man's parents scolded their son, but the other party did not repent, but scolded back. He also said that he had lived for so long and finally knew why he was alive. You don't understand the fun of the game, get out of here!"
"... Then what?"
"Then, the couple thought that there was something wrong with the magic, and asked people to come and investigate but found nothing abnormal. Finally, they asked the city lord for help. The city lord then took action to investigate the situation inside, and then said that there was no problem, it was just too fun."
Hearing this, Bian Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
No problem is best.
However, he asked doubtfully: "If there is no problem, then why did you come to me?"
"The city lord is not old, you know that."
"Well, not much older than my son."
"After he finished playing, he felt it was fun, but he was too embarrassed to grab other people's bamboo slips and go back to play with them. So I asked you to ask if you have any extra. If not, he would go back and grab that person's bamboo slips to play with."
"this……"
After thinking about it, Bian Jia originally wanted to 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 moment, 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. It may help the city lord avoid some detours."
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 unclear, 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's shoulder, he said sincerely: "Bian Jia, you did a good job."
"No, it's because the game is good." Bian Jia replied with a smile.
