Cheng Ye glanced at Xiao Ming's expression.
He was indeed a little unhappy.
Also, he deliberately didn't say no just to see Fatty anxious, but was interrupted by his tears.
This will make you sulky at yourself.
Cheng Ye chuckled, took a bowl of Malatang and started eating.
Halfway through the meal, Xiao Ming finally couldn't help but speak: "Do you have any ideas?"
Cheng Ye: "Huh?"
Xiao Ming was speechless: "..." The one who is least anxious about co-writing is Cheng Ye?
Cheng Ye smiled and said calmly: "There are two things I can't figure out."
Xiao Ming looked bad and said in a petty manner: "You tell me."
Cheng Ye said slowly: "You know what I was testing the first two times, right?"
Xiao Ming nodded: "Yes, I can guess it."
Cheng Ye said tentatively: "So I'm curious why that stone is obviously a treasure, but it changed as soon as I got it."
When mentioning this, Xiao Ming also fell into deep thought. He thought for a while and said: "Actually, the same is true for my prop."
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Ming continued: "My prop is called "Precious". It can select the most precious one to the owner among many items. It is an A-level prop. I used it when I passed the old man's stall. "
"But it's strange. Normally, it would give me a feedback, telling me which is the old man's most precious thing, but the feedback I received was: all those stones are the old man's most precious thing."
Cheng Ye's narrow eyes narrowed.
all of them?
“So I wasn’t rushing to pick, I was thinking about what it meant.”
Cheng Ye was silent for a moment: "Have you thought about it now?"
Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sure the stone Wei Sheng'an picked is a treasure?"
Cheng Ye replied affirmatively: "Of course."
Xiao Ming frowned, as if thinking about something, and murmured in a low voice: "...Stones are all treasures, and they will change after being selected..."
Cheng Ye's eyes suddenly flashed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
He turned his face sideways and looked in the direction of the old man.
The old man returned to his original posture, lying lazily on the rocking chair, eyes closed, waiting for his destined person.
Cheng Ye seemed to already know what was going on.
He stood up and walked towards the public toilet nearby.
Xiao Ming was confused and shouted behind him: "What are you going to do?"
Cheng Ye turned around and said, "Shhhh."
Xiao Ming: "..."
After entering the public toilet, Cheng Ye whispered: "Are you still there?"
Wei Sheng'an's hoarse voice sounded: "Yeah."
I haven't spoken for too long, and my throat is a little dry.
He had been observing and listening to what was happening on Cheng Ye's side.
"Have you thought of anything?" Cheng Ye continued to ask.
Wei Sheng'an was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Do you still remember when we first met?"
Cheng Ye was confused: "Huh?"
Wei Sheng'an's eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was a layer of mist attached to them, just like the foggy sea in the early morning, making it impossible to find out what was going on.
His voice was very soft, as if coming from a far away place, and he said calmly: "Overnight water."
Cheng Ye frowned. He remembered it was in Chapter 96 of the first volume.
But so what?
What does this have to do with that?
Wei Sheng'an chuckled lightly: "In five minutes, we will return to the previous point in time. This is the first time I heard about the return prop, and I don't know what the effect is."
"However, I already know how to do it, just listen to me..."
…
five minutes later.
Cheng Ye, Fatty and Xiao Ming suddenly replayed the scene in front of them, returning to the first time Fatty failed.
】
The stone was now in Xiao Ming's hand. Just like last time, he pushed it aside in disgust: "If you have money, you can buy it. I won't buy it."
The same line made Fatty stunned.
He blinked and realized they had reopened.
Cheng Ye felt confident at this moment. He looked at the old man's face and did not miss any of his microexpressions.
But the old man seemed to be aloof from the incident, yawned, and slowly returned to his couch just like last time: "Your time is up."
Cheng Ye took the stone from the fat man's hand and placed him on the stall.
Then he motioned to Xiao Ming to come first.
Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows and did not refuse.
Although he didn't know what Cheng Ye was doing during those five minutes when he entered the toilet, but judging from Cheng Ye's expression at this moment, it should be... okay.
Wei Sheng'an glanced at the stone and said: "The third person in the sixth row, pay first."
Cheng Ye didn't have any objections. He approached Xiao Ming and said softly: "Don't look at the stone. This time it's the third one in the sixth row. You can tell me which one you want in a moment, and then ask the old man to take it and hand it to me."
"By the way, pay first."
"You must let him collect the money first."
Xiao Ming's eyes rolled, but he obeyed obediently: "Grandpa, this is 500,000 taels. I also want to buy stones."
The old man was confused by the operation of giving money first. He burst out laughing and said, "Is there anything in particular you want to get, young man?"
Xiao Ming was extremely well-behaved: "Yes, grandpa's big baby."
The old man laughed a few more times: "Okay, you choose."
But Xiao Ming insisted: "Grandpa, you should collect the money first, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other."
"Okay, okay." The old man collected the money in front of Xiao Ming.
Then he said: "Then you choose."
Xiao Ming, however, didn't even look at the stone: "I don't have any choice. I heard that my grandpa's treasure only waits for the right person. I also like fate..."
"Let me see...Grandpa, I want the third one in the sixth row."
There was a hint of surprise in the old man's eyes.
But he didn't say anything, walked over and picked up the stone directly.
Fatty was also told by Cheng Ye not to look at the stones, so no one of the three people present looked at the stones except the old man.
The old man handed the stone to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming stared at the old man and said, "Grandpa, help me pack it up and give it to my servant. Thank you, grandpa."
servant?
Cheng Yezi sneered inwardly, but didn't show it on his face.
The old man continued to do as he was told and handed the packed stone directly to Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye took the stone, thanked him and left with Fatty and Xiao Ming.
When they walked about ten meters away, the system beep sounded just right.
[Congratulations to player "Xiao Ming" for completing this dungeon mission. 】
"Done?" Cheng Ye glanced at Xiao Ming and asked.
Xiao Ming smiled playfully: "What do you think?"
After all, only I could hear this prompt, and Cheng Ye could only judge it through the brief micro-expression on Xiao Ming's face.
Cheng Ye said calmly: "As expected."
Xiao Ming became interested and asked: "How do you know you can buy treasures this way?"
Cheng Ye said without reason: "Did you know that you can't drink the water that was left overnight?"
"Ah?" Xiao Ming was confused.
What is this and what?
