Chapter 224 Xifeng 8
Seeing his younger brother's high spirits suddenly drop, Ji Ji Wu Ming's heart softened. He slowly sat up, gently patted his younger brother's head, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that you will be killed?"
Lu Changning raised his head and pointed at the name on his head. He couldn't help but sigh: "I'm really afraid that they will kill me as the demon king."
"Hahaha, how can you be so stupid!" Ji Ji Wu Ming felt that his younger brother's worry was completely unnecessary: "You are a player, why worry about this. Besides, even if you are killed, you can be resurrected. Your level is low now, and the lost experience will be regained soon."
Lu Changning shook his head: "No! I'm different."
"Why are you different?"
Lu Changning glanced at Ji Ji Wu Ming and wanted to confess the secret of his identity, but when he saw the magic weapon on his waist, he changed his excuse in an instant: "Because my system has some minor problems, I am worried that once I die, the problems of this system will be discovered, and I will be sent out to apply for a new account. In that case, I will no longer be myself."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're still the same person, I'll recognize you! Even if you change your account and start over, I can still recognize you. Otherwise, let's set a secret code. If you start over one day, I can recognize you by this."
Lu Changning looked at Ji Ji Wu Ming lying beside him, and couldn't help but feel touched. As expected, he had licked the thigh for so long, and it was indeed reliable: "Okay, what riddle do you say?"
"Then let's use 299,997! Just tell me that number when you see me, and I'll recognize you."
This secret code completely wiped out Lu Changning's feelings...
Haha, who would take the initiative to mention the debt as soon as they see each other? If that's the case, he would rather never have known this creditor.
The capture of the Xifeng Demon King lasted for three days. However, many cultivators turned Yue Lao City upside down and found no trace of the Demon King. They had no choice but to evacuate.
Ever since he realized the importance of his feet, Lu Changning dared not leave the Novice Village. He was afraid that as soon as his left foot stepped out of the Novice Village, the system's positioning information would sound in his head.
For his own personal safety, Lu Changning spent several nights thinking hard before coming up with a big plan.
He had to recruit some people to expand his gang. With his own people, he could at least feel at ease. Lu Changning immediately decided to recruit the gossiping old lady Wang from the village into his own Monkey King gang.
Grandma Wang is an NPC. Lu Changning was a little uncertain at first about pulling an NPC into the gang! But soon he thought, why not? He himself is also an NPC, and he is the gang leader, so it will definitely work.
"Grandma, what are you doing here?" Lu Changning walked towards the big tree at the entrance of the village. Under the tree, Grandma Wang was sewing shoe soles.
Seeing Lu Changning coming, Grandma Wang smiled and waved at him: "Xiaofeng! Come and sit down, Grandma is sewing shoe soles! Oh, it was so lively here just now, it's a pity that you came too late and didn't see it."
Lu Changning held two tender cucumbers that he had plucked from the shelf, chewing them while handing one to Grandma Wang: "Really? What happened just now?"
Granny Wang wiped the cucumber on her clothes and started to eat it. "Just now, there was a fight here. A big man I've never seen before was chasing a young man and beating him up! He was clamoring that the young man had robbed his wife. That big man, wow, looks like a blind bear from the mountains who has turned into a spirit. How could he get a wife? I think he must have robbed the girl."
The Blind Bear, the Big Man, and the Young Master? Could it be Zhan Tianxia and Pineapple? Are they all coming to the Novice Village?
"Then grandma, where are they?"
"That young man's face was pale and he looked weak. How could he be a match for the blind bear? He must have run away! I don't know whose girl they robbed. There are still several girls of marriageable age in our village who have not found a husband yet! We can talk to them about it."
"Let's just forget it!" Those girls in our village are so tough that they can break a mountain with their bare hands! Which player can stand up to that? Speaking of which, Zhan Tianxia's physique might be able to take a beating!
As they were talking, Aunt Jiang San, the village chief's wife, came over. Lu Changning had bought a house deed from the village chief's family before, and had communicated with this family a lot, so he was familiar with them.
He greeted Aunt Jiang from a distance: "Aunt, you're going to the vegetable garden!"
Auntie San was carrying a basket of vegetables. Seeing Lu Changning and Grandma Wang, she also came under the tree with a smile, put down the basket and picked vegetables: "Have you heard? Some time ago, Yue Lao City held a banquet, and everyone who attended the banquet died. A lot of people died!"
Granny Wang was surprised: "Really? I haven't heard of that. Did they offend someone and get all killed?"
While picking vegetables, Aunt Jiang explained to Grandma Wang: "It seems to be a revenge killing. The bride's ex-boyfriend came to snatch her away."
"Oh, there's no need to kill someone just to rob him! How immoral."
Lu Changning, the instigator of this incident, was helping Aunt Jiang pick vegetables, and he didn't dare to say a word! He didn't expect that this incident had spread to the village, and even the NPCs who didn't go out had heard about it.
Grandma Wang sighed: "So many people died, and the government didn't investigate? Yue Lao City must be in chaos."
"How could that be possible? The matter was resolved not long after. Yue Lao City is very lively now. It seems like the whole city is looking for a chicken!"
"Looking for chickens?" Grandma Wang shook her head: "These city people really know how to have fun."
Aunt Jiang shook her head. "That's right. It's the right time to raise chicks at this time of year. I was going to buy a few today. But chicks are so expensive now that I can't afford them at all. Oh, I'm afraid the price of eggs will go up this year too!"
After hearing this, Granny Wang also shook her head and said, "Your family is considered a wealthy family in our village. You can even have extra food to raise chickens. Unlike our family, we don't even have enough food to eat, so how can we have extra food to raise chickens?"
Aunt Jiang San heard this and chuckled: "Grandma, I don't like what you said. How much food will be wasted raising chickens? Find a piece of land to fence him in, and he will grow up eating grass!"
Lu Changning agreed with this. Chickens are omnivores and can grow up even without anyone feeding them by eating insects and grass.
Granny Wang sighed, "It's easy to say, but chickens are so expensive now, and we don't have the money to buy them!" Granny Wang raised the shoe soles in her hand and said, "Look, this is our family's food in the future. We have to rely on me to make shoe soles to survive."
Grandma Wang's family was indeed in financial difficulty. A few years ago, her son and husband were all taken away by the imperial court during the conscription. Now, only her frail daughter-in-law and three grandchildren were left at home. The family's small plot of land barely fed them, and the rest of the expenses could only be met by Grandma Wang's manual labor.
So, this is one of the reasons why Lu Changning wanted Grandma Wang to join the gang, because it could really make a slight change in her family's life.
"Grandma, my friends and I recently formed a gang. I wonder if you would like to join!"
When Granny Wang heard this, she showed disdain on her face: "Gangs? Aren't they just those gangs out there that are always fighting and killing each other? Why would an old man like me join them? There are already two people in my family fighting, and you want an old woman like me to join them!"
Lu Changning waved his hands quickly: "You misunderstood me! My gang is not about fighting and killing! We just grow vegetables and raise chickens."
"Raising chickens!" Grandma Wang became a little interested.
Lu Changning struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, it's called a gang, but in fact it's just a factory I set up. We grow herbs and other items and sell them for money, in exchange for food for chickens and ducks and other daily necessities."
Granny Wang pressed on: "No need for fighting and killing?"
Lu Changning smiled and pointed at himself: "Look who I can beat."
This made the two elders laugh: "That's true. You are so small that you can't even compare to my grandson. Tell me more about your gang."
"Members of the gang need to come to the gang every day to take on tasks, such as planting herbs and feeding poultry. After completing the tasks, they will earn points, which can then be used to exchange for items in the gang's store, including chickens, ducks, fish, and everything else. Moreover, if you complete the tasks for several consecutive days, you will receive copper coins as a reward."
Grandma Wang was tempted: "Are the copper coins the ones used in the town?"
Lu Changning took out a copper coin from his pocket: "This is it!"
Granny Wang was relieved: "Okay, then I'll join your gang."
[Ding, Grandma Wang from the Novice Village successfully joins the Sky-Spirit Monkey]
Jiji Wuming, who was fishing by the river, heard the system message and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Grandma Wang? Was it the Grandma Wang he knew? Or was it the name of a unique player?
Lu Changning asked Third Aunt Jiang who was picking vegetables nearby: "Will Third Aunt Jiang come?"
Third Aunt waved her hand: "As for me, I'll go back and ask your Third Uncle for his opinion. If he thinks it's okay, I'll sign up too."
"Row."
The Chuan Tian Hou Gang successfully gained a powerful general. Lu Changning was in a good mood. He was walking back humming a song and smiling. He saw Ji Ji Wuming fishing by the river.
He ran over and said, "Jiji, I have some big news for you."
Ji Ji glanced at him and said, "Did the alliance find someone?"
Lu Changning thought that he could also see the system messages, and immediately slapped his head: "Hey, I forgot that you can see it too."
Ji Ji Wu Ming pulled the fishing rod, and sure enough, it was still empty.
"Where did you pick this person up from? Is he reliable?"
"It's reliable. It's right under the big tree at the entrance of the village!"
"The big tree at the entrance of the village..." Ji Ji slowly looked towards Lu Changning: "This 'Grandma Wang from the Novice Village' can't be the Grandma Wang I know!"
Lu Changning chewed on the tomato he had just eaten: "That's right, didn't she also issue you a task?"
The fishing rod fell to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, Lu Changning quickly caught it, otherwise the golden fishing rod would have definitely drifted downstream to find the bucket. "Why are you so excited?"
Ji Ji Wu Ming stared at Lu Chang Ning: "That's an NPC. How did you convince an NPC to join our gang? No, how could they agree? Aren't they supposed to be controlled by the system and have no thoughts?"
"How can I be without thoughts? I just stole Ma Ye's tomatoes and he beat me with a carrying pole and chased me for three blocks. How can I be without thoughts?"
Ji Ji Wu Ming felt it was a mystery. Are the NPCs in this world so intelligent? I never thought they were so intelligent before! Could it be that when he was fishing, this world had a major upgrade and he didn't notice it?
"So why did you ask Grandma Wang to join the gang?"
"Growing vegetables and raising chickens! Neither of us has time, so we must find someone to take care of it!"
After the sect was established, there were spirit beast gardens and medicinal fields configured by the system. Lu Changning did not buy spirit beasts, but he caught a few pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, and now he is raising them in the spirit beast garden. He planted spirit medicine in the vegetable field, but it takes ten minutes to catch insects and weeds for the spirit medicine, which is really troublesome. It is just right to find a special person to take care of it. Moreover, the store for exchanging goods is opened by the system. He recruited people at zero cost! He will definitely be able to develop and expand the Sky Monkey! Lead the members below to a well-off life!
Just as I was imagining the future, Grandma Wang came over and greeted Ji Ji Wu Ming who was in a daze.
Ji Ji Wu Ming looked at Grandma Wang who was following her younger brother to learn how to take care of the medicinal fields, and he felt that this world was becoming more and more realistic. Even NPCs were working there. Would it become like the real society in the future?
Thinking of this, Ji Ji Wuming clicked on the personal information of gang member Grandma Wang.
【Name: Grandma Wang
Race: Terran
Title: Shoe sole master
Rating: 79
Realm: Great Perfection of the Tribulation Period]
puff!
What? Grandma Wang is a master who has reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Period? An NPC who sews shoe soles under a tree all day is actually a master who has reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Period? This damn world is too fantastical. How can this game be played? Jiji Wuming felt like he was being played by this world.
Looking at the gang leader icon at the top, Ji Ji Wuming clicked it.
【Name: Wang Xifeng
Race: demon
Title: None
Rating: 15
Realm: Fifth level of foundation building]
After seeing my extremely normal introduction, Ji Ji Wu Ming felt that he was not that useless. This was normal. His level 74 was also quite impressive.
When Jiji Wuming clicked on Lu Changning's message, Lu Changning glanced over here, and then set his sights on Grandma Wang who was watering the plants. The corners of his mouth slightly raised. Fortunately, after he upgraded, the system gave him the permission to hide information, otherwise all his vests would have fallen off.
Grandma Wang is worthy of being the head of the Wang family. Her sense of responsibility makes Lu Changning admire her. Before the sun rises, Grandma Wang has already carried her family's hoe to the small vegetable garden to work. When it gets dark, she reluctantly returns home from the sect.
Because of this job, the place where Grandma Wang makes shoe soles has changed from under a big tree at the beginning to next to a vegetable field now.
Seven days passed like this. One day, Lu Changning just got up from the bed and walked out the door, he met Grandma Wang's excited face.
