Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 443: Today's Allegro

Hearing Xiao Ran's familiar voice, Wu Man frowned at first, then tilted his head to look at Xiao Ran and curled his lips: "Why are you here? Aren't you in Ruzhou?"

After saying that, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran, and finally focused his gaze on Xiao Ran's eyes. He couldn't help but frowned: "Your eyes..."

"Hey, let's agree that I'll give you the ingredients, but you better not take advantage of my eyes."

Xiao Ran quickly took a step back.

Now his relationship with Wu Man is still very delicate. The last time he mentioned cooperation, Wu Man did not agree to it.

Seeing Xiao Ran's alert expression, Wu Man held his chin with a bored look on his face and leaned sideways on the small table beside him.

His eyes turned to the kitchen in front of him.

Unlike the kitchens of this era, several cooks are busy stir-frying, preparing side dishes, and serving plates. The only difference is that Wu Man, as the chef of this restaurant, almost never does the cooking himself. He is only responsible for quality control of each dish. He will dismiss unqualified dishes, tell the chef what went wrong, and ask him to make it again.

This is clearly a management system for a modern kitchen.

In this era, it is simply a heinous act. At least except Wu Man, no one is willing to teach their skills to others.

"Come on, let's talk outside."

Wu Man stood up from the chair and walked out of the kitchen. The two of them came to the well nearby. Wu Man sat by the well, took out a cigarette from his arms and put it to his lips.

"You didn't smoke before?"

Seeing the laziness in Wu Man's eyes, Xiao Ran reached out and pulled the cigarette from Wu Man's mouth.

Wu Man's performance in front of him was completely different from before. This guy seemed to have suffered some kind of blow and became much more decadent.

Wu Man did not explain this, but just took out another cigarette and put it to his lips: "How is the family?"

"It's OK. The white cat hasn't eaten the cat food you made for a long time. You owe the landlord a large sum of rent. I will help you make up the money first. Remember to pay me back."

"Also, something went wrong on Guling Street. Changchun will be in trouble..."

Xiao Ran gave Wu Man a brief account of what had happened on Guling Street recently.

When Wu Man heard that so many things had happened on Guling Street, and that even the Changchun Society had been crippled, the expression on his face gradually began to become lively.

That’s right, it’s vivid. From his original indifferent attitude, he gradually began to show interest.

Like... I found something interesting.

"I've said so much, what about you?"

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he played with the cigarette with his fingers and looked at Wu Man curiously.

"me……"

Wu Man raised his head, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then exhaled, and said, "I'm a little confused."

"???"

confused??
Xiao Ran was really surprised to see these two words appear on the body of the pervert Wu Man.

But Wu Man didn't seem to plan to discuss this issue with Xiao Ran. He just turned his head and said, "You have made great progress recently. Are you preparing to advance to C level?"

"That's about right. At least there is a plan."

Xiao Ran said without denying that mastering the sword technique was equivalent to tearing a gap in his path to reaching C-level.

The resources I have now are enough to push myself into the C-level threshold.

After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at Wu Man and asked, "What do you think of the plan I mentioned last time?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll give you an answer when I do. You haven't told me yet, what are you doing in Chang'an?"

"Participate in the sword review and kill a few people."

"Who?"

"Quite a lot."

"Need help?"

"Of course, but this can't be considered a favor. Just think of it as paying back the rent I paid for you."

This guy helped me fight off the Locust God last time, so I already owe him a favor.

So it’s better not to owe it if you can. It’s just rent anyway. Hehe, Xiao Ran doesn’t even care about this little bit of money now.

"Humph! You've become treacherous."

As Wu Man spoke, he took out a small food box from the space and handed it to Xiao Ran. There were three red cherries in it, but each cherry was shaped like a bird.

C-level cursed item: Voice-transmitting cherry

No activation required.

After eating it, you can transmit sound to a specific target over a thousand miles.

Duration: 30 seconds

"This is much better than your dream trick. Don't come to my dreams so often in the future, especially recently. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can escape from my dreams unscathed."

When Wu Man spoke to the end, his eyes gradually became serious.

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and the black swan brooch on her chest actually started to sound the alarm.

It can be seen that Wu Man was definitely not joking when he said this.

"Why would I bother to go into your dream if you had taken this thing out earlier?"

Xiao Ran put the box away. The three cherries represented that Wu Man was willing to make three attempts.

It is rare to receive support from such a top expert.

"By the way, how much do you know about the Zou family?"

Xiao Ran put away the box and tentatively asked Wu Man about the situation of the Zou family.

"The Zou family."

Wu Man glanced around and then lowered his voice and said, "It's best not to make any move. I don't even know the background of this family. I can only say that there is a lot of trouble behind the Zou family."

It was really surprising that Wu Man could say such words.

You know, he even dared to confront the Locust God head-on, so how could he be afraid of a small human trafficker?
"understood."

Xiao Ran nodded and didn't ask any more questions: "I'll go upstairs to eat. If you're not busy, let's make an appointment to talk." They had said almost everything that needed to be said. If they waited any longer, it would bring some unnecessary trouble to Wu Man.

Especially now that his identity is mixed with Li Jie, it is too sensitive.

"Ah."

Wu Man nodded and said nothing more. He just took out another cigarette from the space and lit it.

After Xiao Ran left, Wu Man took a puff of the cigarette and put it in front of himself.

Looking at the smoke burning on the cigarette butt, his eyes began to become confused.

He muttered to himself, "The road to the top is never smooth, so what does it matter if I sacrifice some people?"

But after he said that, he felt that this reason didn't seem to convince him, so he just put out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Om~"

On the other side, Xiao Ran returned to the box, nodded to Gao Yuting, and then sat down.

"This chef is really your friend."

Seeing Xiao Ran coming back, Li Jie couldn't wait to ask, the chef of Hongbinlou is now a walking cash cow. Just a meal like today has completely refreshed Li Jie's understanding of food.

Even the imperial chef in the palace might not be one ten-thousandth as good as him.

"Well, we are old acquaintances."

Xiao Ran didn't say much and invited everyone to eat.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, the sound of gongs was heard downstairs.

I just heard someone start to beat the clappers and sing on the stage downstairs.

"Da da da,"

“Chang’an City, Suzaku Street, and three thousand heroes enter the sword review.

Wudang in the south, Shaolin in the north, Qingcheng, Five Mountains and Emei. "

The old man on the stage was tapping the clappers briskly, with each word being mellow and clear, causing everyone to put down their chopsticks and stand up to look.

"Throughout history, there have been many talented sword critics, each of whom has been at the forefront for twelve years.

Look at the predecessors, the Frost Concubine entered Chang'an with a sword, and the whole world was as white as the painted paper. She dared to use powder and rouge to insult the gods.

Monk Xu from the Kusai of the Northwest is unrivaled in his fists and swords, and his compassion remains as great as that of a diamond.

Qiufeng Villa thanks the wind and rain, the sentimental young man wields a ruthless sword, and every sword kills the one he loves first. "

"it is good!!"

Everyone clapped and applauded.

The three people the old man was talking about were the sword masters of the previous three generations. Needless to say, everyone was familiar with Shuang Fei.

Monk Xu has long passed away. It is rumored that he was a disciple of Shaolin Temple. Later he traveled to the Western Regions, realized the unparalleled skills of boxing and swordsmanship, surpassed all the other monks in the sword competition, and later passed away in Daxiangguo Temple.

As for the last one, Xie Fengyu, he was also the former sword champion, but... this man was quite controversial. It was rumored that he was a playboy, but he relied on gigolos to get acquainted with the female sword fairy of Emei Peak at that time, and followed her to learn sword. After he mastered the sword skills, he killed the female sword fairy first.

That's why it was ranked third by the old man, and his comments were full of ridicule and sarcasm.

However, these people are long gone, otherwise the old man would not dare to talk about any of the above.

"Today, the Qiantang River tide is getting higher and higher.

Qiankun League, Guxintang, Iron Chain Across the River, the King of Swords.

Songshan School, Qiu Shaoling, come again to challenge the Youth B List.

Qingnvjian, Gao Yuting, and the heroes fight against Huang Chao in front of the crowd...

The old man mentioned more than ten names in one breath, all of whom were seeded players favored by everyone in this sword review.

It can be seen that this old man understands the art of language.

Each person added a comment of praise, which drew constant cheers from the stage and the audience, and many people took out money and threw it on the stage.

I can probably earn fifty or sixty taels of silver from this game alone.

Xiao Ran smiled and looked at Gao Yuting: "It seems that the sword review hasn't started yet, but you are already a hot topic on the list."

"I am burdened by false fame and cannot compare to you. I will wait until the time comes to make a splash."

Gao Yuting rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran. It was obviously not a good thing to be praised like this. If she couldn't be selected into Group A, or even if she couldn't produce outstanding results, it would be a huge shame.

On the other hand, someone like Xiao Ran will be able to achieve a stunning success, and will not have any burden regardless of his or her grades.

Just when the old man finished the list in one breath and was about to continue talking about who the judges of this sword review would be.

A piece of glittering gold flew out from the crowd and hit the clapper in the old man's hand.

"Oh!"

The old man screamed, and the hand that was hitting the clappers was covered in blood. The bones of his middle finger and ring finger were broken, and it was obvious that he was useless.

Now many people's expressions changed, and they all said that taking away someone's money is like killing his parents.

It's not easy for the old man to make a living. Now that his hand is broken, he is afraid that he will never be able to continue playing the clappers in this life.

At once, everyone looked back and saw two people sitting in the corner.

One had a scholarly look on his face, while the other was a middle-aged man with extraordinary looks and elegant clothes.

Facing everyone's gazes, the middle-aged man just sipped the tea in his hand.

Deng Wenzhu on the side said coldly: "Old man, I'll give you this piece of gold and a name. If you speak well, I'll give you another piece of gold. If you speak badly, I'll give you another piece of gold. I'm just afraid that you won't be alive to receive it!"

The old man's face changed, and he quickly lowered himself to the ground, got up from the ground, cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask your name?"

Deng Wenzhu took out a piece of gold from his arms and placed it on the table, pursing his lips and saying:

"Hahaha, this man's surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Gouzi. He's a grave robber. Oh, by the way, this man and Qingnvjian are husband and wife. Tell me about it. If you tell me well, I'll give you a reward..."
