From a distance, Cheng Ye saw old man Chen in the most remote corner of the night market.
I saw all the bustle around him, but he was lonely and deserted.
He didn't even light a lantern, and the sparse lights next to him shone a little, making it look a bit desolate.
There were a pile of stones on his floor, as well as some combs, bowls, jewelry and other things, which looked very old.
Like an antique.
Old man Chen sat alone on the stone steps with a pot of wine beside him. He drank a few sips when he had nothing to do, and seemed to not care whether anyone came.
He is incompatible with his surroundings, like two different worlds.
One side is lively, the other side is quiet.
Cheng Ye looked at him for a few times and did not step forward rashly.
There is nothing on him that can identify the baby. It is better to wait until Xiao Ming has had enough fun.
With this thought in mind, he took the fat man to sit down behind a nearby stall selling fried skewers, and each ordered a portion of fried skewers.
Xiao Ming lived up to expectations, and he appeared in front of Cheng Ye after just waiting for a cup of tea.
Like a child who comes home late, he first glanced at Cheng Ye's face a few times, and then stepped forward with a playful smile: "I'm fat."
"What news have you got?" Cheng Ye sniffed calmly.
Although Xiao Ming is a bit playful, he is also quite attentive.
It seemed like he was just playing around casually, but he would notice every detail that should be noticed.
Xiao Ming stared at the fried skewers in front of the fat man and asked, "I want to eat it too."
"If you want to eat, you can buy it yourself. We didn't even pay for these two portions." Cheng Ye remained calm.
Xiao Ming blinked, trying to say something but couldn't.
After all, most of the money does lie with him.
He was silent for a few seconds, then stood up obediently and ordered another one.
Cheng Ye was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
I heard that this night market is open until three in the morning, so there is plenty of time.
And the later it gets, the fewer people there will be, so it won’t attract attention if you open the treasure.
After taking two bites, Xiao Ming revealed his true form. He sat or stood or stood up: "I did get some news."
The fat man couldn't hold himself back: "Then tell me quickly."
Xiao Ming: "I've been walking around for three times and I'm a little tired. I don't have the motivation to talk."
The fat man showed a questioning expression and hesitated: "Then, what should I do?"
Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing when he looked at the fat man who had been missing Xiao Mingpua for a long time.
What kind of strange reaction is this?
Seeing that the fat man was very polite, Xiao Ming said, "Come over and give me a squeeze on my shoulders. I'll be motivated to talk."
The fat man was very obedient. He stood up and squeezed Xiao Ming's shoulders.
Cheng Ye sighed. He really didn't know why Xiao Ming and Wei Sheng'an both liked to bully fat people.
And why is the fat man so obedient, letting them bully him casually?
After Xiao Ming finished eating the last bunch, he wiped his mouth and said, "I heard that this old man is not mentally normal."
Cheng Ye: "We know this."
Xiao Ming glanced at Cheng Ye: "Yes, let me talk about the key points."
"This old man suddenly came to this night market two years ago. The best thing sold in this night market is snacks, followed by jewelry and toys that children and women like. Generally, people who come here to set up stalls will choose these, but this old man doesn't The same thing, when he came here and rented the stall, he only sold stones."
"You must know that this is a place for poor people to relax at night, and it is not a place where dignitaries and nobles gamble on stones. Who would buy those broken stones."
"In the beginning, no one really cared about the old man, but later, some noble people always came to the boss for fortune telling. I heard that this old man was an immortal from some Taoist temple."
"Immortal?" Cheng Ye became interested. Isn't this a hidden clue?
It seems that asking Xiao Ming to find the treasure should be related to the main task.
Before entering this copy, Wei Sheng'an once speculated on a possibility.
It's an advanced copy, which may only have one map.
After all, Purgatory may be a half-finished product. On the day the game was updated, the rules said that Purgatory was still being tested.
So maybe regarding the advanced copy map, it only designed one.
To be lazy, just divide the tasks evenly across a large picture.
The real mission is the combination of common tasks for every player who enters.
Only when they are put together can we know what the final task is and can we end the copy.
Now that the dungeon has not ended, it is very likely that not enough players have entered.
After all, grassroots players account for the largest proportion of the entire game.
Ninety percent of the players will definitely choose the junior dungeon to try out their skills, while the rest will choose the intermediate dungeon at most.
Even Cheng Ye cautiously started with the primary copy.
Therefore, the number of players entering the advanced dungeon may not be enough at the beginning.
This insufficient number of people resulted in insufficient conditions for starting the mission, resulting in the copy being unable to end.
It has to be said that Wei Sheng'an's speculation is quite reasonable in a sense.
Xiao Ming nodded: "Yes, I heard that he used to be a very powerful immortal, and then he went into seclusion. I don't know why he came out again two years ago."
】
"Those dignitaries knew his true identity, so they came here to beg him."
"His stall suddenly started to get crowded, but he didn't like it, so he set up three rules."
"First, noisy people never trade, second, everyone can only choose the treasure they want once, and third, the transaction must be completed within one minute."
"Completed within one minute?" Cheng Ye asked.
"Yes, I heard that from the big brother over there. Anyway, the old man has a very weird temper and must act according to his rules. I heard that because of his status as an immortal, no one dares to cause trouble." Xiao Ming said nonchalantly.
"Then why don't I ask everyone in the house to come and buy it once?" Cheng Ye asked in confusion.
What's so difficult about this? There are only so many stones in his stall, and as many servants as there are in a house, he can only buy them.
Xiao Ming smiled: "Do you think the method you have thought of can't be thought of by others?"
Cheng Ye hesitated for a moment: "The price is high?"
"That's one thing. On the other hand, it's up to him to decide what you buy." Xiao Ming looked in the direction of the old man: "You can see that there are not only rocks but also some toys and ornaments over there."
"After you go there, he will ask you a question, which everyone says is just for observation. After you answer it, he will decide whether you should choose something from the ornaments or from the stones. You can choose to buy it, or not to buy it. But you only have this chance in your life." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Cheng Ye narrowed his narrow eyes. The night wind was a bit cold and raised the broken hair on his forehead.
This old man is waiting for his destined person.
The tasks are indeed interrelated.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly surrounded Cheng Ye: "That's him, hit me!"
