If you ask the ruler over there, there must be some nonsense.
Jiang Yue was not worried that the ruler would change his mind temporarily.
Jiang Yue's position and bottom line are very clear to the ruler.
The Lord in charge and the other party are not officials of the same faction, so it is difficult to urinate in a pot. Even if the Lord in charge were invited to discuss the matter, nothing would come of it.
Jiang Yue returned to Villa No. 9 and asked Mao Qi if Mr. Guo had left any tokens.
Mao Qi knows a lot about Mr. Guo, but he knows very little about the tokens.
After all, Mr. Guo was the current one chosen by Zhiling at that time, and Mao Qi was just an assistant.
Mao Qi may not be aware of many of the actions Mr. Guo participated in.
Just like the many strange cases Jiang Yue was involved in outside, Mao Qi was also unaware of them.
"I remember that Mr. Guo often played with a jade Buddha that was slightly smaller than a palm. It didn't look like a mortal thing. Since his disappearance, the jade Buddha has not appeared in this villa."
Mao Qi recalled: "Maybe that jade Buddha is the token you mentioned?"
"Seventh Brother, how much do you know about the secret of Daozi Lane Villa?"
"It is said that Daozi Lane Villa is related to Star City's luck, but I don't really understand this statement. Having said that, even if it is related to Star City's luck, it's really just that."
"Don't look at me like that." Cat Seven Monsters said with a smile, "Perhaps in the eyes of Star City bosses, Star City's safety is greater than anything else. But Star City is just a small patch on the map of the entire Da Zhang Kingdom. Looking at it, The entire planet Gaia is even smaller and pitiful."
"Boy, I'm kindly reminding you. Don't limit your vision to the safety and security of Star City. Don't think that this Villa No. 9 is your comfort zone and you can't leave it. If you think so, I guess I'm not far away from becoming my ex. Got it!"
This guy always had a sharp tongue, but these words were like a basin of cold water poured on Jiang Yue's head, making him sober up immediately.
With the advent of a strange era, will there be a safe pure land in this world?
The Daozi Lane Villa now seems to be indeed stable and can be called the safest place in Star City. But judging from the current competition, this place may become a powder keg at any time.
Just like Mao Qi said, if your vision is always limited to the Daozi Lane villa, your vision will be limited, and the layout will be compressed invisibly.
I have to admit that Mao Qi's words gave Jiang Yue quite a warning.
Maybe Villa No. 9 is just a trap for Zhiling?
Or to be precise, a test?
anyway……
Jiang Yue warned himself secretly.
Be sure to take a longer view.
Right now, the most practical thing is to improve personal strength.
Jiang Yue returned upstairs and was secretly happy to see that the output of the jade silkworm had increased a lot. I got some more curd tobacco to make sure it wouldn't run out of food.
I heard from Lao Han that the disaster level last night was higher. Jiang Yue was worried about those in the school and planned to go to the school first.
Just as Old Han said, the entire Star City seemed to have become more dilapidated overnight. There are significantly more potholes on the streets.
Few of the street billboards are intact.
Walking on the messy but unusually empty street, Jiang Yue felt an unprecedented sense of desolation.
Except for the patrol officers at various intersections, there were almost no people on the street.
The entire society seems to be close to a shutdown.
Jiang Yue shook his head secretly, this is the most terrifying part of the disaster. When human activities begin to shut down, that's when disaster really strikes.
In such a dilapidated street, Jiang Yue could only walk.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that when he arrived at the gate of Yangfan Middle School, someone was waiting for him.
It's a stranger.
After some conversation, I discovered that the other party was from the black market.
Jiang Yue soon met the black market boss who he had dealt with several times, but this guy was always mysterious and his true colors could not be seen.
"Mr. Jiang, there is a big business that you must be very interested in."
"Big business? I'm afraid it's too big for my little shoulders to carry." Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his position.
To have the black market boss waiting for him in person near the school gate, this business must be extraordinary. But these days, Jiang Yue doesn't dare to take it lightly.
Big business is certainly attractive, but what if there is a big pit behind the big business?
"Mr. Jiang, your evil-proofing talismans have been well received. Now, someone has offered a high price and wants you to make some more advanced talismans."
"Haha, I should have said that the evil-proofing talisman was not made by me, but by an elder of mine..."
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, it doesn't matter who made it. Whether it's you or your elders, as long as you have this ability, this business can be negotiated!"
Judging from the other party's tone, he probably didn't quite believe what Jiang Yue, an elder, had said. It’s just that you see through it and don’t tell it.
For them, it doesn’t matter who made it, what matters is that it’s available.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, boss. My elders can only refine a few kinds of spiritual talismans. As for higher-level custom-made spiritual talismans, we can't handle them."
"Mr. Jiang, don't be too busy refusing. Why don't you listen to their offer first?"
"Boss, do you think the price is of much significance these days?"
"Haha, Mr. Jiang is indeed a cheerful person. But the price he paid was not money. It was other good things!"
"Sorry, I can't make the decision for my elders on this matter." Jiang Yue doesn't want to announce to the world that I can make magic talismans.
"Mr. Jiang, there is no need for you to make a decision now. Otherwise, tomorrow afternoon, I will hold a negotiation meeting and invite many strange people to participate. Is Mr. Jiang interested in a favor?"
Negotiation meeting?
Or are strangers involved?
Jiang Yue wanted to refuse, but after hearing these words, he became somewhat curious.
"Mr. Jiang, whether the transaction is successful or not, it is entirely voluntary between both parties. The negotiation meeting is a feast of exchanges involving many parties. It would be a pity not to go and experience it."
"Where?"
"I will contact you tomorrow for the specific location. Mr. Jiang lives in Daozi Lane Villa, right? I will send someone to pick you up at the door of Daozi Lane Villa around one o'clock tomorrow afternoon?"
"OK!"
As the other party said, business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. Go meet the strange people in Star City and see how deep this circle is?
"By the way, can I bring someone with me?"
The black market boss smiled and said: "Of course, no problem. Mr. Jiang needs to bring a few people with him. I will make unified arrangements then."
"How many can you bring at most?"
"Other people can usually only bring one assistant. Mr. Jiang is our guest. I will give you three places. Is that enough?"
"So my face is quite valuable?" Jiang Yue laughed at himself.
The black market boss smiled meaningfully: "That's because Mr. Jiang is too modest. In fact, Mr. Jiang's reputation is greater than you think."
Although Jiang Yue listened to such obedient words, he didn't take them too seriously.
Yangfan Middle School experienced yesterday's strange incident, and the security was obviously much stricter.
Fortunately, the strange incident did not happen last night. The students who stayed at the school spent the night in fear with no danger.
However, last night's disaster undoubtedly cast another shadow on everyone's mind.
Especially those students who have not awakened even more feel that their future is bleak and there is no hope at all. Staying in school, when will these days end? Is there any end?
The mentality of many students began to fluctuate, and some were even close to collapse.
On the one hand, they see no future; on the other hand, they are far away from home and have no idea what is going on with their loved ones.
After all, they are still teenagers. Faced with this situation, how many people can have a stable mentality?
Even those who are partially awakened have more or less emotional fluctuations.
Although there has not yet been a large-scale outbreak, Jiang Yue can clearly feel that the campus is filled with a pessimistic atmosphere.
This atmosphere made the entire campus extremely depressing.
The school's senior officials are obviously having a headache too.
If it weren't for the teachers in each class trying their best to calm the students' emotions, I'm afraid everyone's emotions would have collapsed long ago.
But if this continues, collapse will happen sooner or later.
"Brother Yue, Du Yifeng came to see you earlier." Mao Doudou was very excited to see Jiang Yue.
"Oh? What about others?"
"I haven't seen him now, he must still be at school, right?"
Just as he was talking, he saw Du Yifeng trotting over from the corridor not far away.
"Jiang Yue, I'm looking for you!"
Du Yifeng trotted over and grabbed Jiang Yue's arm, "Come on, let's take a step to talk."
Mao Doudou curled his lips with a trace of dissatisfaction, but still stopped wisely and did not follow.
"Yifeng, what's so mysterious?"
"Jiang Yue, here's the inside information. The extraordinary person certification and closed beta test are almost coming to an end. It should be officially launched in the next two days."
Du Yifeng was very excited. It was obvious that he had been looking forward to this for a long time.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Yue would have almost forgotten about it.
Seeing Jiang Yue's mediocre reaction, Du Yifeng couldn't help but said: "Jiang Yue, this is an opportunity to get there first. If we pass the test, we will be the first batch of certified extraordinary beings in the country. The gold content is very high."
"When will you join?"
When Du Yifeng invited him to participate, he tried to please him and gave him money, just to give him an insurance policy so that Jiang Yue could take care of him during the test.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Yue was the bodyguard he hired.
Of course, Xu Chunru later also bought insurance from Jiang Yue.
In other words, in this test, Jiang Yue mainly acted as a bodyguard for these two guys.
However, according to the previous agreement, participating in the test and accepting the bounty task, once the task is completed, all monetary rewards will go to Jiang Yue, which was also agreed in advance.
As for the remaining rewards, they will be distributed as appropriate.
"It should be within these two days."
"I won't be free tomorrow afternoon." Jiang Yue said in advance.
"It's not that fast. It has to be the day after tomorrow at the earliest. It should be the day after tomorrow. It won't be delayed until the day after tomorrow at the latest." Du Yifeng vowed.
"Who are they?"
"You should have seen those last time."
Jiang Yue frowned and said, "Someone among them is hostile to me. Yifeng, aren't you afraid of affecting the unity of the team? If the team is not in harmony, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Haha..." Du Yifeng's mouth burst into a strange smile, "We formed a group just because each family has influence. Together, it is easier to apply for bounty tasks and be able to eat the soup."
The words were very cryptic, but Jiang Yue understood it despite being a smart man.
The reason why these rich and powerful children formed a bureau together was not because of their close relationship, but at best just to expand their influence.
The implication is that it doesn't matter whether the team is united or not. As long as the mission can be completed with Jiang Yue's help, the others don't have to leave.
"Yifeng, any reward is risky. What if..."
"What if there are three advantages and two disadvantages, right?" Du Yifeng asked with a smile.
Jiang Yue nodded, that's what he meant.
"A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist." Du Yifeng smiled strangely, "They didn't buy insurance from you, right? Jiang Yue, we are classmates. When there is really danger, you will definitely take care of me first, right?"
"Don't worry about this. After collecting your money, I will definitely give priority to ensuring your safety."
"That's it!" Du Yifeng patted Jiang Yue's shoulder, "As far as I know, Sister Ru seems to have bought insurance with you, right? Don't worry about one thing and not the other..."
"As long as you don't seek death, it shouldn't be a big problem." After accepting money from others, you have to give them some comfort.
"Don't worry, I cherish my life the most, otherwise I wouldn't think of recruiting you to join the gang." Du Yifeng chuckled, "At that time, I promise to follow your command in all actions. If those grandsons really want to get into trouble with you, it's their fault. Damn it, I am definitely on your side with a clear stand!"
"Okay, let me know in advance when the time comes."
"Remember to bring your personal ID!" Du Yifeng added.
While the two were muttering, Teacher Gao Yi from far away happened to come over.
"Du Yifeng, what brought you here today?"
These days, day students basically don’t come to school.
"Teacher Gao, what you said makes me so sad. I, Du Yifeng, have stayed at Yangfan Middle School for six years. This is my second home, and I have a deep affection for it."
"Yes, yes, stop being poor as soon as possible. Is there anything wrong with you? I'll have a word with Jiang Yue."
"Okay, you guys are chatting." Du Yifeng put his arm around Jiang Yue's shoulders, made an exaggerated gesture, and went on his own.
Watching Du Yifeng walk away, Gao Yi said leisurely: "Jiang Yue, Du Yifeng must be talking to you about the bounty mission and the certification of extraordinary beings, right?"
"Teacher Gao knows things like a god."
"Haha, these little naughty guys!" Gao Yi didn't comment too much.
"Teacher Gao, what do you want from me?"
"Hey, I shouldn't have asked you this in the first place, but I'm really worried right now. You can see the current situation. The mood of the students staying at the school is already very wrong. If this continues, something will happen."
"What's the school's plan?"
"No plan, just let them go home. These are all students living on campus, and their homes are dozens or hundreds of miles away. Nowadays, transportation is inconvenient, and there are many unpredictable dangers on the road. With so many children released, safety must be a big problem. "
"Let's stay in school. Let's not talk about the material supply. This emotional issue alone is very difficult to appease."
"Then the school prefers to keep or let go?"
"We don't dare to let go without orders from above. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
"Then just stay."
"It's easy to stay, and we can think of ways to supply supplies. But if this backlog of emotions cannot be channeled in time, it will be very troublesome once it breaks out."
"Then find something to distract them." Jiang Yue couldn't help but said.
"oh?"
"For example?"
"Four words, do what you like."
