Chapter 19 About the Four Branches...
Night has fallen.
There is nothing special about the day and the night of the universe.
Everything around him still maintains the consistent "comedy cartoon" style. Even the moon in the sky is not that round.
"Hey, I'm here."
As he turned a corner, Wang Tanzhi heard a familiar call.
He followed the sound and saw a human (cat) shadow under a streetlight diagonally opposite the intersection.
"Huh..." Xiao Tan took a long breath, looked around, and then walked over.
When Xiaotan came closer, Feng Bujue lowered his voice and said, "You came quite on time."
"Actually, I didn't deliberately count the time..." Xiao Tan replied, "From four o'clock in the afternoon until twenty minutes ago... I completed four side tasks one after another. After completing the fourth task, I I looked at the map and rushed over... and the time was just right."
"Ah... I probably know this." Feng Bujue continued, "When you receive the branch line, it will also be displayed in my game menu."
"Then you should! You also know... how much pain I'm feeling now..." Xiaotan said expressionlessly.
"Haha... I'm not sure about this." Feng Bujue said, "It's not easy to guess based on the content of the mission itself..."
"Then let me briefly explain." Xiaotan continued, "First of all, the first side mission... I witnessed a 'showdown' between Basho-san and Zeng Liangjun."
"Hmm... I know them both well." Brother Jue nodded, "The strong, stupid and cute one and the arrogant and sinister one."
"Although I don't like this kind of acg-rich title, I have to say that your positioning is very accurate..." Xiao Tanxu replied with eyes.
"Thank you." Brother Jue continued with a smile.
Xiao Tan licked his lips, and after two seconds, said again: "Then, in the second branch... I was taken to a strange conference room by an uncle who claimed to be the 'Product Development Manager', and a group of people The weirdly dressed guys studied the ‘stickers’ developed by their company.”
"Very cheating, isn't it?" Feng Bujue answered.
"Whether it's a scam or not has nothing to do with me. I don't buy their products anyway. I'm just a randomly selected consumer to give them some suggestions." Xiao Tan replied, "It's just... absolutely not. Then I thought about it, later the model of the sticker...a very patriotic-looking kid...ran in without permission. The manager said that he seemed to be 'the son of Mr. Oishi who was fired last month' or something...a few minutes Later, the conflict between them turned into a violent incident. The manager was kicked to the point of lameness by the naughty kid, and finally left on crutches..."
"Haha...he's quite hardworking..." Feng Bujue said with a dry smile.
"Then, I encountered the third branch." Xiaotan shrugged. He continued, "This may be the most baffling task I have ever encountered..."
"Yes, I was just about to ask you." Feng Bujue said, "What is the plot of [preventing her from reaching her destination before midnight through wrong guidance]?"
Brother Jue is quite familiar with the plot of "Rihe", so when he sees keywords such as "Bajiao", "Zeng Liang" or "sticker" in the taskbar, he can immediately deduce Xiao Tan Yu Who arrived. Only this third branch line triggered by Xiaotan can be seen from the mission content. It's hard to say which story in "Rihe" it is related to.
"I'm not sure either." Xiao sighed, "That woman claimed to be 'the beautiful big sister from S1 of a prestigious university'. She said that she was working as a part-time tutor at night. But She seems to be a road-crazy person. She said...'it feels, the atmosphere, and the spirit have found the customer's address,' but in fact..."
"Okay... you don't need to go on." Feng Bujue interrupted, "This is a sad story."
"Eh? What's wrong?" Xiao Tan replied, "I think the NPC I met in this mission is the least funny one I have ever seen. Apart from the attribute of being a road idiot, she is basically a normal person; she Seeing that it was almost midnight and I still hadn’t found the client’s home, I said it was too late and went back. There was nothing unusual about her until she left my sight. I feel really guilty... I took her in circles for several hours and prevented her from going to the client's home. Isn't this considered disruptive to her work? "
"No, you did a good thing." Feng Bujue said, "Not only did you protect her safety, but you also saved two people who were full of distracting thoughts. It can be said that your merits are immeasurable... Amitabha~"
Xiao Tan didn't understand what Brother Jue was saying, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought the other person was joking, but he couldn't get the idea.
"Okay...then the fourth branch." After a few seconds, Wang Tanzhi continued, "You can see from the task bar...it's a combat mission."
"Yes." Feng Bujue said, "You received it after midnight, at 0:20, right... [Survived the battle with the werewolf]..."
"That's right." Xiao Tan replied, "At the same time as the mission prompt sounded, a guy dressed as a high school student transformed right in front of me."
"Well..." Brother Jue continued, "Have you been evading his pursuit for the next hour?"
"No... when he transformed, I happened to be standing in a dead end." Xiao Tan replied, "There is no way to escape."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned when he heard this, but the next second, he seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on his face, "Oh... you met the werewolf whose fighting power was just enough to tie with the elementary school student, right?"
"This kind of [beep——] painful setting... you actually remember it so clearly..." Xiao Tan's answer proved that Brother Jue was right.
"What's the matter? I still remember that the werewolf's name was Fujita." Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows and replied.
"Okay..." Xiao Tan spread his hands, "Anyway, I used the body of this animal elementary school student Hayatarou to fight with the nearly two-meter-tall, ferocious-looking and strong werewolf for more than ten minutes, and then... won."
"After he lost, did he bury his face between his knees and sit on the ground for an hour in melancholy?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.
"Yes... the system notified me that the task was completed after an hour." At this point, Xiao Tan summarized his nearly ten-hour journey in the Hiyori world, "I just arrived now."
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue nodded, thought for two seconds and said, "By the way, what kind of item is the doll you got from Bajiao Sang? Among the four branches, only this one gives an item reward, so it should be a good thing, right?" (To be continued...)
