Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 132 She is the Master

Xiao Ran's light words made Niu Yan and Niu Tui, who were originally full of joy, suddenly freeze in place and look at Xiao Ran in shock and anger.

But Xiao Ran didn't care about their gazes.

Niu Shen’s death can only be said to be an accident, but when they showed their murderous intentions towards him, they had already been labeled as enemies in Xiao Ran’s heart.

Even though this was just a random thought that came to their mind at the time, Xiao Ran would rather rely on the big-headed monk than leave his back to the two of them.

"Boast! We treated you like a brother, and you treat us like this."

Niu Yan glared at Xiao Ran and cursed.

Niutui at the side took out a slingshot with spell patterns flashing on it, and then aimed it at Xiao Ran.

However, Xiao Ran didn't even look back at them, and ignored Niu Tui's slingshot. As long as they dared to attack him, Xiao Ran guaranteed that neither of them would be able to enter the gate of Wang Mansion alive.

Seeing Xiao Ran walk away without even looking back, Niutui gnashed his teeth in hatred, but Niuyan on the side held his hand and said, "Don't mess around."

As he spoke, Niu Yan winked at Niu Tui, and the steward next to him and the servants of the Wang family were all staring at the two of them with squinted eyes. If they took action at this time, they would probably be attacked by the Wang family immediately.

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let's hold back our anger for now and look for an opportunity after we enter Wang's mansion. Then we will take revenge for Niu Shen together!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Tui reluctantly put down his slingshot.

He stared at Xiao Ran's back as she walked through the door and spat coldly: "Bitch!"

Before the two of them could finish their conversation, they suddenly heard heavy breathing behind them. Turning back, they saw that the big-headed monk had come behind them, with his hands clasped together, "Brother, come with me quickly, don't run around. If you get lost, no one will stop me from committing the sin of killing."

After saying this, without waiting for the two men to respond, he rolled up his blood-stained cassock and walked through the main gate with Niu Yan and the other man.

[Warning! You have entered the Wang Mansion. You are suppressed by the Wang family's charm. The cooldown time of the cursed item is doubled. The spell pattern's specialties and attribute blessings are temporarily sealed. Only one spell pattern and cursed item can be activated at a time.]

The moment Xiao Ran stepped into the Wang Mansion, he immediately felt a force suppressing him. The power and physical strength originally brought by the spell were immediately taken away, causing Xiao Ran to immediately feel a strong sense of weakness.

[Warning! You have entered the Wang Mansion and are being suppressed by the [Suppression Item]. All members of the Wang family will be fed back by the [Suppression Item]. For every additional guest of the Wang family, the strength of all members of the Wang family will be slightly increased.]

"Town object?"

"What is this?"

Xiao Ran frowned and looked up. He remembered that his grandfather once told him that there was a technique in the martial arts world called the Art of Disgust, which was very domineering in using objects to suppress people.

I don’t know if this talisman is the so-called talisman.

In this way, the bricks that the Yinshan Taoist inserted into the beams of the house should also be [talismans].

In the [Basic Manual for Beginners], the only profession related to talismans is the [Apprentice] entry-level craftsman series.

I just don’t know what level the Yinshan Taoist is at.

At this moment, blood flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes, and a line of tasks appeared in Xiao Ran's sight.

[Trigger the main quest, Wang Family Banquet]

Mission requirements: Participate in the Wang family banquet and survive.

Task Tips: If you kill any one of the old master, the second master, or the third master of the Wang family, the task difficulty will increase by one level, and the reward will also increase accordingly.

Current mission reward: E level.

A series of prompts appeared in front of Xiao Ran, including the main mission of this mission.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and carefully felt his current physical condition. After losing the attribute blessing of [Corpse Stitcher] and [Trainee], it had a great impact on him.

Fortunately, he had previously drunk the [Black Strengthening Potion] and selected Constitution +5.

It won't weaken you too much.

As for other attributes, I happen to have talismans of various attributes on hand to supplement them, which can also allow me to quickly restore my combat effectiveness at critical moments.

Therefore, the suppression of [Tarnishing Object] on himself is limited. The only thing that makes Xiao Ran unhappy is that he could activate two cursed objects at the same time before, but now he can only activate one.

Follow the crowd along the bluestone road in front of you.

Xiao Ran noticed that the people who entered from the other two doors took another route.

The Wang family's gate has three doors. The main entrance is for the things in the shrines. It is straight and slender, leading directly to the front hall.

People like them who pay incense and offerings have to go through the left door and cannot reach the front hall. They can only find a seat at the wine table outside the front hall.

As for those who came to the Wang family by performing variety shows, Xiao Ran no longer saw them after they entered through the right door.

Xiao Ran found a seat near the aisle and sat down, looking around.

At this time, two people at the neighboring table were also watching from the side. When the three people's eyes met, they were all stunned.

Xiao Ran looked at the two of them and saw that they were wearing wide black cloaks, one man and one woman, and wearing accessories that only modern people have. He immediately thought of the members of the Changchun Society mentioned by Niu Yan and the others.

"Could it be them two?" Thinking of the cruel behavior of the Changchun Society, Xiao Ran immediately became alert, but nodded slightly towards the two of them without showing any emotion on his face.

The two people at the neighboring table looked at each other, and one of them stood up with a smile, walked to the table next to Xiao Ran and sat down, clearing his throat: "Ahem, Captain, don't shoot, it's me!"

"puff!"

Normally, Xiao Ran shouldn't laugh in such a serious occasion, but who could blame the group's secret code for all the Spring Festival Gala skits?

"Can't you get something else?"

Xiao Ran complained in his heart, but then he thought, there seems to be nothing more suitable for a secret code than the Spring Festival Gala skits.

After all, there are thousands of professional terms in the game, but in life, everyone has their own path, and their lives may not necessarily have something in common, even their hobbies and happiness are different.

If there is one thing we all have in common, it is that we all sit in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala every year during the Spring Festival.

Therefore, it would be best to use classic lines from the Spring Festival Gala as secret codes.

After all, in reality, there are people who really use Palace Jade Liquor as a secret code to catch foreign spies.

Alas, some people say, I don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala is not good now.

Yes, so the sources of the secret codes for contact are all from the Spring Festival Gala jokes in previous years, and there are none from recent years.

Just like this sentence, it is really familiar.

Xiao Ran suppressed the upward curve of his lips and replied, "Oh, it's you, kid."

After confirming that the look was correct, the man sitting next to Xiao Ran took off his cloak and said, "My name is Tiger, what's your name, brother?"

"Cowhide."

Xiao Ran was too lazy to change to other titles and just casually said the name of Niupi.

"Niupi, oh, I heard about you from Niuyan and the others. Where are Niuyan and the others?"

"over there."

Xiao Ran pointed to the main hall at the back. Tiger stuck his head out and saw Niu Yan and Niu Tui, who were tied up by the cassock beside the big-headed monk. His expression changed slightly and he turned to look at Xiao Ran.

"They chose their own path, what can I do?"

Hearing Xiao Ran's unfriendly tone, Tiger squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran for a while before saying, "You are right. You can't blame others for the path you chose. But now the main mission is clear. Do you want to cooperate with us?"

"What kind of cooperation method?"

"hey-hey."

Tiger Head grinned and said, "Brother Niupi, the Changchun Association's style has never been to complete tasks just for the sake of completing tasks. Win-win cooperation is the kingly way. To be honest, we don't plan to follow the normal mission line."

After hearing what Lao Hu said, Xiao Ran immediately thought of the closed campus and the recycling furnace. He already had a strong aversion to the Changchun Society, and now he felt a strong rejection from the bottom of his heart.

Obviously, the Changchun Association has set its sights on this small town, and probably intends to use methods similar to a campus to rebuild the town into an industry of their own.

Xiao Ran felt disgusted by the Changchun Society's methods, but he wanted to hear what Lao Hu and the others were going to do.

With a curious look on his face, he said, "Of course I know the style of the Changchun Society, but what benefit can I get from doing this?"

"How about a Changchun card? With this card, you can exchange for any item below level D in Changchun."

After saying that, Tiger immediately changed the subject: "Besides, we are not asking you to give up the main mission, you just need to complete it according to the minimum standard. The mission rewards will not be much different then. In addition, if you can help, then if Changchun Association successfully cooperates with the Wang family in the future, Changchun Association will also be willing to share part of the dividends with you."

“And there are dividends.”

"Of course, the purpose of the Changchun Club is win-win cooperation, and everyone gets rich together. Those who have cooperated with the Changchun Club are aware of this. Some people have even successfully started their own businesses just by relying on dividends."

Tiger looked proud. The Changchun Club was well-known for its generosity and they would never be stingy in this regard.

"If that's the case, I'm very interested. I just don't know what you need me to do, brother? Just tell me what you want."

The smile on Xiao Ran's face was so vivid that the word "greed" was almost written on it.

Tiger narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not difficult. It's just killing one person."

"Who?"

Tiger took out a red wooden sign with a red flower tied to it from his sleeve with a smile on his face. When he turned it over, he saw the words "Mo Ju" written on it.

“Is it her??”

Xiao Ran's pupils tightened slightly, but the more he did so, the more relaxed he became. He raised his head and looked at Tiger: "Who is this person?"

Tiger looked back at the woman at the next table. When he saw the woman nod, he turned around and whispered in Xiao Ran's ear:
"We have another side quest. This quest tells us that this Mo Ju is not actually the courtesan of some brothel. The real Mo Ju died a long time ago. This woman was temporarily replaced by the brothel owner. Speaking of her identity, hehe, this woman is the owner of the Wang family, and she is Wang Cuicui, the eldest daughter of the Wang family."
