But why myself?
This copy is stagnant, which Cheng Ye can understand.
No one downloaded the advanced version, causing the task to get stuck.
But... what if I didn't download this copy? What if it wasn't me?
Who could this old man be waiting for?
Cheng Ye's eyes were clear in black and white, and there was too much confusion at this moment.
But he said nothing.
There were many things he couldn't understand, so he could only move on.
Time was passing and he couldn't stop.
"How do you feel?" Cheng Ye turned his head and asked Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming also put away his usual playful smile and became slightly confused: "Everyone only has one chance..."
He had no extra opportunity for trial and error.
Although he seems unreliable, he is serious when faced with tasks.
"Brother Cheng Ye, I'm still very cautious." Xiao Ming also looked at Cheng Ye and said suddenly.
The veins on Cheng Ye's forehead trembled a few times. He restrained his slight expression and replied calmly: "Don't call me brother."
"Yes, the brother I called was not brother." Xiao Ming nodded seriously.
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows and automatically ignored Xiao Ming's answer: "So what difficulties are you encountering now?"
He tried to change the subject.
Xiao Ming looked at the old man again: "You may not believe it. I just tried to use a prop... but it didn't work on the old man's stone."
Cheng Yetongren trembled slightly. Are all the props ineffective?
Well, their first mission isn't as simple as it seems.
How can I get the props needed for my first mission?
Cheng Ye frowned and immediately thought of Wei Sheng'an.
He is a human-shaped treasure detector. If he were here, he would be able to see the real treasure without thinking too much.
However, the teleportation point cannot be set up yet, and he cannot see Wei Sheng'an.
Oh, it’s not impossible.
Cheng Ye's eyes lit up and he looked in the direction of the old man.
He thought for a few seconds and then said: "Let's go, we have completed the first task."
Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows: "Three people, only three chances."
Cheng Ye nodded: "We can't keep wasting it."
Xiao Ming smiled, and the little red light shining on his face looked pretty good. When he wasn't naughty, he still looked like a big boy next door.
"Okay, you are the boss."
Cheng Ye refused to comment.
The three people walked towards the old man.
Perhaps it was old man Chen who hadn't had a guest for a long, long time, and he didn't even notice that people were standing in front of him.
He leaned on the rocking chair, and the wooden chair creaked.
His body was very relaxed, as if he was sleeping soundly, and the shabby clothes seemed to have been worn for several years.
But his nails and exposed skin were very clean, and he didn't look as desolate up close as he did from a distance. On the contrary, he seemed to be living a good life.
There are some traces of a simple and happy life on my body.
Cheng Ye was very patient and did not disturb him.
He tried hard to search back and forth on the stone in front of him, but he couldn't see anything.
But yes, if he has such vision, he doesn't need Wei Sheng'an's help.
Finally, the old man seemed to sense something, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He was not surprised to see the three people in front of him. He spoke in a good tone and said calmly: "Buying something or asking for a divination?"
Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Grandpa Shopping, I heard you have a treasure, we want to buy your big treasure."
The old man glanced at Xiao Ming sternly and raised his eyebrows: "This baby can rely on his own ability."
Xiao Ming was rarely well-behaved: "We know."
The old man's eyes glowed, and he glanced at the three people in front of him: "Which one of you will go first? I have a rule, each person can only buy one."
The fat man immediately stood up and said, "Me first, me first."
The old man looked at the fat man carefully: "What do you like to eat most?"
Although I know that the old man will ask questions before letting me buy again.
But this problem is something that no one has thought of.
The fat man showed doubts in his eyes, thought for a while, and said honestly: "I like to eat fish the most. Any fish will do, preferably without bones."
The old man didn't say anything, but pointed to the stones on the ground: "You can pick any one."
After saying that, he took out an hourglass and said, "I'll give you one minute. No matter if you choose it or not, I won't sell it to you."
As soon as he said these words, Fatty looked at Cheng Ye as if he was looking for a savior.
At the same time, Cheng Ye opened the system panel of the Museum of Dead Things.
You should know that although the game's system panel cannot be opened in the game (only the dungeon mission page can be opened), the Museum of Dead Things, as a type of prop, should be usable in the dungeon.
】
This is why Cheng Ye decided to pick out treasures tonight.
Wei Sheng'an can accurately select the fragments from the probability of one in hundreds of millions, so it is impossible for him to fail to select the treasure.
After the Museum of Dead Things page opened, Cheng Ye selected Wei Sheng'an's avatar among the invitees and clicked the call button.
At this moment, Wei Sheng'an, who was leisurely watching a movie in the main city, suddenly had a phone floating in the air in front of him.
It seems to be composed of a shadow of some kind of light, with no real object.
Wei Sheng'an blinked, confused, but didn't feel any danger.
After hesitating for a second, he answered decisively.
Cheng Ye smiled slightly: "I am Cheng Ye."
Wei Sheng'an also laughed: "The cross-dimensional props are very powerful."
Cheng Ye's voice revealed satisfaction: "It's not bad."
Wei Shengan said concisely and to the point: "What happened?"
Cheng Ye glanced at the hourglass on the small wooden table: "I still have 40 seconds, please help me choose the treasure."
Wei Sheng'an raised his eyebrows. It seemed that in just a moment, he had already mentally sketched out the entire portrait of Cheng Ye in the copy.
His tone was relaxed, and you could even hear his laziness: "But, I was not there."
Cheng Ye became more relaxed listening to his calm tone.
It seems there is no big problem.
The props are useless. Although Xiao Ming didn't say what props they were, according to Xiao Ming's character, he will definitely use the props with the highest probability.
Since the props that are currently available and have the highest probability of success are no longer effective.
Then there is no need to waste time relying on props.
So I can only turn to planb and use Weishengan.
Why not call Weishengan in advance? The reason is very simple. Weishengan is not short of time at all.
Just like Xiao Ming said, there are only more than a hundred stones here. According to Wei Sheng'an's ability, he only needs a few seconds, no, less than a second to select the real treasure.
Therefore, it doesn’t make much sense if you don’t mention it in advance.
It is more meaningful for Cheng Ye to attack micro-organisms and improve the team's cooperation ability.
If Weishengan can't choose, then no one can.
Prove that this task cannot be achieved by other means.
Explain to this old man that his treasure can definitely not be obtained by buying and selling stones, but -
other conditions.
Therefore, Cheng Ye had already set the plan in his mind.
Cheng Ye's tone was calmer. He glanced at the treasures in front of him: "I know, so I will take pictures and upload them to the Museum of Dead Things. You can go in and take a look now. There are still 32 seconds left."
Wei Sheng'an smiled and joked: "Can't we live broadcast all the time?"
Cheng Ye looked at the screen recording function on the panel and exclaimed in his heart that the curator was perverted. He was watching how tourists became exhibits, and he wanted to record it by the way?
Although I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, I answered quickly: "Ah, okay, I will listen to you."
Cheng Ye turned on the real-time live broadcast, and at the same time, a simultaneous live broadcast started on the monitor in the curator's bedroom.
It only took Wei Sheng'an ten seconds to enter the museum, enter the curator's bedroom, and see the scene.
Cheng Ye started counting down casually: "Sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen..."
Wei Sheng'an looked at the stone in front of him with great interest, but said nothing.
The fat man was almost dying of anxiety, with a look on his face that he was about to cry, but he didn't dare to rush his boss.
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to show it.
At this moment, Cheng Ye suddenly felt empathy with Wei Sheng'an and Xiao Ming. It turned out that teasing fat people was so fun.
The reaction he gave was really cute.
"...Four, three, two..."
One has not been read out yet.
Wei Sheng'an said slowly in a steady voice: "The fifth in the third row."
Cheng Ye said quickly: "The fifth one in the third row."
The voice just fell.
A trace of surprise flashed across the old man's dark eyes.
Although it was very, very brief, Cheng Ye, who had been focusing entirely on him, still noticed it.
When he walked from Cheng Ye to this stall, it seemed that he was exploring the stones, observing the ornaments, and glancing around from time to time.
But in fact, all his observation power was focused on the old man.
He didn't want to miss any of the old man's microexpressions, which was very crucial to him.
Because of him, one person left——
New speculation.
This surprise gave Cheng Ye a little bit of hope.
This reaction shows that Weishengan indeed made the right choice.
Cheng Ye thought the old man would be cheating or say something.
But he said nothing and stood up silently to pick up the stone.
Then he handed it to the fat man: "Do you want this?"
The fat man nodded repeatedly without any hesitation: "Yeah, that's it."
"Okay, 500,000 taels, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." The old man was still very calm.
The fat man had no objection and motioned for Xiao Ming to pay.
Although they only exchanged a small amount of money, the points in the game can be exchanged for the same amount of currency in any world. Anyway, Wei Sheng'an has money.
Everything went smoothly.
But it was this smoothness that made Cheng Ye...a little strange.
The old man's expression changed from the moment he revealed the specific location of the stone, and he no longer had any mood swings.
He seemed to become very, very calm.
It seems that the stone in his hand is not a real treasure.
However, it is impossible to go wrong with Weishengan.
Wei Sheng'an's tone just now was too sure. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't deliberately give his answer in the last few seconds.
so……
So what went wrong?
Just when Cheng Ye was thinking this, Wei Sheng'an's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Calmly and with a hint of disbelief: "It's changed."
Cheng Ye subconsciously said: "What?"
"The stone has changed, it's not that anymore."
Cheng Ye:...?
Cheng Ye frowned, his dark eyes filled with mist, and he stared at the stone in confusion.
Since Wei Sheng'an said it wasn't the case, it definitely wasn't the case.
……why?
He didn't look away from the stone during the whole process. The old man's movements were very slow. No one could change the stone, so why?
Xiao Ming was so perceptive that he didn't even need Cheng Ye to say anything before he suddenly handed the stone to the fat man: "If you have money, you can buy it. I won't buy it."
The fat man looked confused: "????" Don't mess with me!
He immediately looked at Cheng Ye as if asking for help.
Cheng Ye's mind was very confused at the moment, and he was not in the mood to comfort the fat man. He stared at the old man without saying a word, but could no longer see anything on his face.
The fat man was a little anxious: "Boss, boss, don't you want this?"
"Your time is up." The old man said slowly. He yawned and returned to his couch.
Cheng Ye took the stone and placed it on the lower left side of the stall.
If there is a problem, there must be something wrong somewhere.
But they have three chances, this time, let themselves go first.
Cheng Ye talked to Wei Sheng'an on the phone: "What happened just now?"
Wei Sheng'an also sat up straight at this moment, no longer as lazy as before. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "...I really don't know."
"I can confirm that the treasure is the one you took at the beginning, and it will be the same treasure until the old man hands it to you."
"But when the fat guy took it over...not so much."
"When the fat man took it over, didn't it?" Cheng Ye frowned, feeling as if he had caught something.
Cheng Ye made a quick decision without hesitation: "Do it again."
Wei Sheng'an didn't have any objections. He looked at the stone in front of him again. With almost no difficulty, he sensed the treasure: "This time it's the first one in the first row."
"But it's strange. It has a very strong connection with me. It shouldn't be replaced."
Wei Sheng'an murmured.
This was the first time in his life that he had made a sensing error, and I have to say it was still a bit of a shock.
"Keep watching and tell me immediately if there are any changes." Cheng Ye became calmer.
He already had a new guess, and now, what he had to do was judge it.
Wei Sheng'an had no objections: "Well, I won't take my eyes away from it."
Cheng Ye took a step forward: "Grandpa Chen, can I buy it too?"
Old man Chen had no objection and asked casually: "What do you usually like to do?"
Cheng Ye thought for a while, what does he like to do? There doesn't seem to be anything I like.
Is it okay to stay alive?
Since Old Man Chen asked, he answered truthfully.
Old man Chen didn't react at all after hearing the answer. Just like before, he said casually: "Then you can pick a stone too."
He has no emotion about whether the stone can be sold or whether the transaction is completed.
It's as if it's your ability to be able to buy it, and it's natural that you can't buy it.
So it didn't bother him at all that the fat man didn't buy his stone just now.
Cheng Ye said with a smile: "Grandpa Chen, I have already chosen it, but can I take it myself?"
Old man Chen raised his eyebrows again and smiled: "Of course."
