Chapter 32 Curse
Dream City
On the top of the red and vermilion-lacquered door hangs a black gold-threaded nanmu plaque, with two large characters "Prince's Palace" inscribed with dragons and phoenixes flying on it.
Lin Fan and Shen Qingli were standing in front of the palace. After the three of them distributed equipment, Nie Kaixuan said that it was getting late and he needed to rest early, so he logged off and left. Just before leaving, he quietly left a message to Lin Fan: Brother, I will create opportunities for you. Shen University’s campus beauty looks at you with impure eyes. Just obey them if necessary. Don’t resist!
Shen Qingli also returned to his usual appearance. Lin Fan didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that Shen Qingli looked at him strangely, and he felt a hair in his heart. Could it be that Nie Kaixuan was right? This girl, think? Impossible, impossible.
"Idiot, what are you thinking about? Let's go quickly." Shen Qingli stepped onto the steps at some point and turned around to urge.
"Oh, it's coming, it's coming." Lin Fan shook his head, getting rid of those unrealistic thoughts and stepped forward to follow Shen Qingli.
Wang Youcai is worthy of being a wealthy man. The entire courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with rich gardens.
Lin Fan was so cautious that he was shocked. He clicked his tongue and said, "This palace built it is so luxurious. If it can be sold, it will cost a lot of money."
Shen Qingli turned around, picked up the wand and tapped Lin Fan gently, and said with a look of disgust: "Do you have nothing else on your mind except money? You can think of money in everything you see."
Lin Fan shrugged indifferently and continued to ask, "I remember seeing on the Internet that a player sold a house in "Fantasy World". Is it expensive?"
Shen Qingli tilted his head and thought for a while, "Do you want to buy it?"
"I'm just asking, do you think I can afford it?"
"That's right. Even if you sell the weapon in your hand, you can still buy a small shop like that outside. A mansion of this level is probably the price of a courtyard house in the capital. Moreover, just having money is not enough. , you must have enough city contribution, otherwise, you will not even be qualified to buy a house. The more expensive the house, the higher the contribution."
Lin Fan didn't expect that the housing prices in "Fantasy World" were so high. This was not a game, it was clearly just another capital city.
While the two were talking, a rich, fat man walked into the hall and shouted with a smile on his face: "Two heroes, two heroes, please come quickly, please come quickly."
The person who came was none other than Wang Youcai. Lin Fan and I followed Wang Youcai to the hall. Shen Qingli did not say anything and said directly: "We have obtained the Water Spirit Pearl. Check to see if it is the one that was robbed back then." Then he took out the water spirit bead from his arms.
Wang Youcai, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately stood up when he saw the water spirit bead in Shen Qingli's hand, took three steps and two steps at a time, took the water spirit bead and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
"Yes, yes, this is it. This is the Water Spirit Bead that was robbed of me back then. After all these years, I finally found it!"
Wang Youcai held the water spirit bead and said happily, jumping up and down in place like a child with excitement.
Lin Fan curled his lips, "What is this Water Spirit Pearl used for? It makes him so happy."
After a long time, Wang Youcai recovered from his joyful mood, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Thank you so much to the two heroes. I, Wang Youcai, keep his word and will not break his promise on the promised reward. I will order you to give two Get it."
"Ding, congratulations on completing the "Looking for the Lost Water Spirit Bead" bounty mission."
"Rewards obtained: a plant of water ganoderma (dark gold level medicinal material) dark gold level weapon (optional choice) comprehension skill book"
In an instant, both rewards were placed in front of Shen Qingli. Shen Qingli stepped forward and took the water ganoderma into his arms without collecting the rows of dark gold-level weapons. He looked at Lin Fan with an obvious meaning: "This It’s yours, choose it yourself.”
Lin Fan was very surprised. In fact, he had no intention of getting any reward in the first place. He just wanted to help Shen Qingli complete the task.
"Hurry up and choose, I'm very generous." Shen Qingli said very generously.
Lin Fan didn't pretend to be pretentious and chose an item at random. Anyway, he had a lot of dark gold-level equipment now, so he could just sell them all together when the time comes.
After the two received the reward, Wang Youcai was still playing with the water spirit bead in his hand happily. Lin Fan was very puzzled, so he stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Wang, what exactly does this water spirit bead have? Even if it can escape the heat, according to your financial resources, You can definitely purchase other treasures to replace them, so why do you keep insisting on this?"
When Wang Youcai heard Lin Fan's question, the joy on his face dissipated a little, and he sighed and said: "This little hero, you don't know anything. Originally I didn't plan to tell this secret, but now that I’ve found the Water Spirit Pearl, so I’m not afraid anymore, so I’ll tell you the truth.”
The two of them didn't expect Shui Lingzhu to have a secret, so they looked at Wang Youcai curiously.
"Before I came to the capital to make my fortune, I had been living in Kumu Village near Tiancang Plateau. At that time, my wife and I lived a very ordinary life. Although we were not rich, we were indeed stable and stable. I also enjoyed the life at that time. However, Later, a very strange thing happened in our village. Every few months, people would die inexplicably in the village. The dead people were all married women. The government came to the local area to investigate several times. It was fine at times, but once the government officials left, people would die again, and the frequency changed from a few months to a month."
"My wife was very scared at the time, and I was also very panicked. I was afraid that something strange like this would happen to my wife, so I took the whole family and ran here. When I came here, I did some business. As the business got better and better, , and finally the whole family settled down here, but in the years after we left, people still died in the village. It is said that many families also ran away, and just a few months after they ran away, He's still dead. There's no way to escape it, and everyone calls it a curse. No woman who has ever lived here will live past the age of 30."
"After my wife found out about it, she suffered from heart disease and has been bedridden ever since. I thought that my wife could not escape the curse. One time when I was taking a caravan out, I met a Taoist priest on the road. He said There was an evil spirit in my family, so he gave me this water spirit bead so that my wife could carry it with her to ensure that the whole family would be safe. I had no choice but to be a doctor at that time, but after I brought this water spirit bead back, my wife's illness Everything healed overnight, and I’m getting younger and younger every day, haha.”
"Back then, I was traveling with my family, not escorting a caravan at all. Unexpectedly, I encountered robbers, and the Shui Lingzhu was taken away by the robbers at that time. Although I came back with my life, the Shui Lingzhu was lost. My wife was afraid that the curse of the past would come true again, and she was so scared that she did not dare to go out. She chanted sutras and prayed for blessings at home all day long. I was also afraid that the secret of Shui Lingzhu would be discovered, so I lied that it was the effect of Shui Lingzhu and wanted to take away Shui Lingzhu at all costs. return."
"Now that the Shui Lingzhu is back, we are no longer afraid of this so-called curse."
After listening to this, Lin Fan asked: "Does this recent curse still exist in Deadwood Village?"
Wang Youcai sighed deeply and said, "Hey, last month, three more families died."
Lin Fan was shocked: "Aren't there only women?"
"Recently, it's no longer targeting women, but the entire family! This curse is like a sword hanging over my head, it will kill me at any time." Wang Youcai said with lingering fear, his face There was a look of horror all over his head.
As if he had thought of something, Wang Youcai looked at Lin Fan expectantly: "Little brother, although Shui Lingzhu is back, I still feel uneasy. Are you willing to help me eliminate this curse and save my family?" , remuneration is not an issue!”
"Ding, trigger the hidden mission "The Curse of Deadwood Village" (difficulty), do you accept it?"
The system's voice then sounded, and Shen Qingli and Lin Fan looked at each other.
"Should I say you have good luck or bad luck?" Shen Qingli looked at Lin Fan's stunned look, smoothed his hair and couldn't help laughing.
Lin Fan is also extremely big-headed. Triggering the hidden mission is definitely a good thing, but this (difficulty) really makes people unhappy. According to player statistics, hidden tasks are more difficult than ordinary tasks, and the probability of completing difficult level hidden tasks is no more than 10%. However, the relative rewards are also incredible.
"accept!"
"Mr. Wang, I am willing to help you!"
I've killed all the fairy-level bosses, how can I still be afraid of this? No big deal, just run.
When the two of them walked out of the palace again, Shen Qingli poked Lin Fan's head with his green fingers. Isn't this guy afraid of death?
Lin Fan turned his head and hid, holding the small hands in his hands, and said angrily: "What do you want to do? Do you want to knock my head open and show it to you?"
Shen Qingli's eyes were full of anger and severity, his cheeks were bulging, and he asked with a stern face: "Are you mean to me?"
"Me? I didn't?" Lin Fan was speechless.
"Then why are you so loud?"
"Am I loud?"
"No? Then what's your attitude? Do you dislike me?"
"No, what's my attitude?"
"You understand, huh, go find your nurse girlfriend."
"What kind of nurse girlfriend? She and I are normal friends."
"Hmph, who knows? Is it comfortable to hold? Don't let go yet."
"Ah?!" Lin Fan couldn't keep up with Shen Qingli's thoughts for a while, and was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had been holding Shen Qingli's little hand just now. Looking at the slender hand holding it, he instinctively kneaded it in his palm. It's a bit cold, soft and boneless, and quite smooth, making you addicted to it.
"you..."
"court death!"
Oops!
"boom!"
My vision went dark, and a familiar feeling hit my head again!
