Chapter 394: Brother Long's Thoughts, Sewer Explosion
Just when Dachun was thinking about how to use the canyon terrain to store water and maximize the power of the rainstorm, the phone message rang.

Text message? It was Zhou Qing: "Is Chunge asleep yet? If not, then why not have a midnight snack?"

Ah, she was afraid that I would fall asleep and text or call me to wake me up. Is the midnight snack the same as last night, treating everyone in the Internet cafe?

But there’s nothing I can do as I’m busy mopping the floor!
Dachun had no choice but to decline: "Mr. Zhou, I can't leave."

Zhou Qing immediately replied: "That's okay, just bring in the skewers and beer."

"Alright!"

However, since the call has come, I might as well tell you about the important matter. The village cannot afford to lose anything.

"Leader, I have something confidential to tell you."

Zhou Qing became excited: "Brother Chun, please speak!"

Dachun thought of an excuse: "Originally, today or tomorrow was the day I was supposed to meet with Biliana to discuss something, but I was arrested and can't meet with her. The boss should find a task expert to discuss things with Biliana. If a special event is triggered, it must be kept confidential."

It's all about path dependency. Last time, we wanted to teleport directly from the city to Canyon Village. Shirley wrote the village's coordinates on a piece of paper, but Ellen couldn't read the characters and couldn't pass them on. So, she had Biliana pretend to be the one sending the quest and have Feng Xingcuo deliver the paper. But Feng Xingcuo died mid-transmission, so another player had to deliver it. This was a perfectly reasonable quest error, preventing the subsequent action from happening, and there were no loopholes.

Zhou Qing was surprised: "Last time, it was the village leader Feng Xingcuo who triggered her incident and sent a letter to Chun Ge. Can Feng Xingcuo give it a try this time?"

Not bad, just as I thought.

"Okay, let him try."

Then, there was a knock on the door, and the guy came with beer: "Spring Brother's midnight snack!"

Dachun opened the door and sighed, "What a shame I'm too busy to have fun with my brothers!"

The young man laughed and said, "Brother Chun is busy with things, and besides, these skewers are different!"

Different? Ah, the skewers are indeed big and fat!

Dachun was concerned about when Weishen would be able to add the "Guardian" to the gang, and asked, "How's Weishen's progress?"

The young man smiled and said, "I asked the carport technician to come over and install the carport for his machine tonight. I have no idea about his progress. He should still be working on it, right?"

amount……

Dachun smiled and said, "Very good, very good. Having a tent is always more comfortable than being covered by a blanket."

The young man smiled bitterly: "It's like he's covered with a blanket in a shed..."

"Alright, alright, double confidentiality..."

After the young man left, Dachun picked up a skewer and looked at it. It was filled with the aroma of cumin and had a large, fat skewer. This? It was obviously not sold outside, and it didn't smell as good as outside.

Dachun took a bite and it tasted good, but not as strong as those sold elsewhere.

So, Zhou Qing baked this herself? It seems like she can do anything! Oh, this treat...

……

At this time, Zhou Qing informed Ma Yinglong of the incident, with the emphasis on "highly confidential"!
Of course, Ma Yinglong also attached great importance to it and immediately asked Feng Xingcuo to try it.

Feng Xingcuo was indeed a little upset about the last time Biliana's letter delivery mission was triggered. Now he finally understood that this was actually a regular meeting between Chun Ge and her!
This time, Feng Xingcuo absolutely couldn't make any mistakes, so he waited in the village inn. It was just after class and lunch, so she would come out.

Then Biliana appeared, and Feng Xingcuo went up to her and said, "Ms. Biliana, do you need my help?"

This is the most direct way to get to the point. The success rate is usually not high, but it can attract the NPC's initial attention.

Biliana shook her head and stared blankly outside the village.

Shaking her head meant that she had attracted attention, so Feng Xingcuo waited quietly beside her.

Then Biliana wandered around the village square again, Feng Xingcuo patiently following her everywhere. But this action was too obvious. If the undercover agents in the village saw it, they would know that the mission was about to be triggered, so they had to maintain confidentiality!
After a while, Biliana looked back and asked in surprise, "Is the captain still here?"

Triggered! Feng Xingcuo suppressed his excitement: "I'm fine."

Biliana sighed, "I'm glad you're alright! But only for now."

Feng Xingcuo hurriedly asked, "When is the matter?"

Biliana said in a deep voice, "It will rain heavily in two days. I've been in this village for almost half a month, and it seems like this is the first time I've seen rain."

Feng Xingcuo asked in surprise, "Ms. Bilianna knows the weather forecast?"

Biliana said unhappily, "Anyone who works in the harbor should at least understand a little bit about the weather, right? Otherwise, what if you run into a storm at sea?"

Feng Xingcuo finally understood: "What about after the rain?"

But Biliana shook her head, said nothing more, and returned to the hotel again.

……

At this point, Dachun, who was eating skewers and monitoring the scene through the magic prism, also gave a thumbs up to Bilianna's performance.

After all, players can do all kinds of tricks by pretending to be NPCs, but it is quite troublesome for players to command NPCs to pretend to trigger events. So just provide information about rain and let them do the rest.

Sure enough, the text message on the phone rang again. This time it was a video sent by Zhou Qing, which was a screen recording from Feng Xingcuo's first-person perspective.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Brother Chun, it just triggered a strange event."

Dachun smiled and said, "I'm watching."

Zhou Qing asked again: "Is the skewers delicious?"

Dachun was a little nervous: "Yeah, it's delicious, flavorful, and more generous than what you get outside."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I grilled it! But it can't possibly taste as good as outside, so I'll cook it myself for Chun Ge."

Well, yes, the seasoning outside is somewhat technological...

Dachun said with emotion: "I am really grateful for the care of the leaders!"

Then he quickly changed the subject and talked about games: "Will it rain in two days?"

"Oh, yes, it's raining. I wonder what that means." Dachun immediately came to life. "Biliana's identity among the pirates is mysterious, so she won't trigger any boring events. The rain must have a big meaning. If it's at sea, it must be related to a shipwreck. If it's here... I'll think about it. Anyway, the weather is also an absolute secret. No ordinary player can know it except Feng Xingcuo."

Zhou Qing also became serious: "Right now, only Long Ge, me, and Feng Xingcuo know about this. We'll also slowly help Chun Ge figure it out. Chun Ge, have your midnight snack first."

After the call ended, Dachun breathed a sigh of relief. He'd finally gotten the message across. As for the answer, he'd let them figure it out. The more outrageous the better. Otherwise, it would be unnatural to suggest that he was going to try to flood the army to deal with the village monsters...

After drinking enough wine, Dachun took over from Ailian who was mopping the floor again: "My dear, I'm here. You've worked hard, go and rest."

Ailian felt relieved. "I just want to take a good rest. It's so boring! Oh, and a wire brush can also be used to clean a mop."

Ah, a wire brush for cleaning stovetop grease stains? So, mop proficiency is actually a general term!

So the rest of the time, Dachun would scrub the oil stains and smoke stains from front to back, repeatedly. Even the high walls and ceilings, Dachun could still reach with a long-handled mop even in a wheelchair, though it was a bit laborious.

Looking at the previously greasy black walls and stove that he had painted white, Dachun didn't feel bored at all. Instead, he felt extremely relieved! It is said that boys just like to watch videos of mending donkey hooves and rubbing carpets. It is said that it is very relaxing.

Even better, the cook finally stopped scolding me! Perhaps he was relieved by my mopping? If all NPCs had this stress-relieving emotion, it would be incredible...

……

Two o'clock in the morning.

The mopping skill has been upgraded to elementary level 10, and the intermediate level breakthrough is just around the corner. Dachun cheered up and cleaned the stove for the third time.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's mobile phone rang again: "Is Chun Ge asleep?"

I really admire Dachun. He figured out the answer so quickly?

"I haven't slept. I've been busy."

Zhou Qing immediately sent a voice message: "Brother Long's idea is that the terrain of this southern canyon village is like a basin. Logically, when it rains, it should form a lake, but it doesn't. This shows that water is leaking underground somewhere. There may be a hidden lake area or mining area underground."

Dachun was shocked: "Brother Long, is this what you think?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's mainly because on Chun Ge's first day in the village, he went out of the village and killed a mutant tree spirit. An announcement was issued. Long Ge has always been curious about where the tree spirit is near the village. Maybe it's an underground lake?"

Holy shit! !
Shirley and I casually killed a tree monster, but this Dragon Brother is still obsessed with it. His thinking is completely different from mine. And his thinking completely fills in the gaps I didn't anticipate. If there really is a floor leak, then the rainstorm wouldn't be very effective! Then finding a leak-proof dam to store water is absolutely essential!

At the same time, this also means that Brother Long must think that I am hiding something - not only that, Zhou Qing must also think so, thinking that I am somewhat independent?
Dachun was sweating. It didn't matter that he didn't know Brother Long or anything like that. The key point was that Zhou Qing was an old classmate and a leader, so it would be hard to let him go. So, let's just reveal a little bit to be discreet.

Dachun replied, "Actually, this tree monster is a hidden quest I received. It's a village secret I've never dared to reveal. There is indeed an underground space. I used... a quest item to teleport in. I don't know the exact path in. It's quite troublesome inside, and it's simply beyond the ability of current players to handle."

Zhou Qing finally understood: "So that's how it is!"

Dachun simply explained his plan: "Maybe it's because the village has this connotation that monsters attack it quite frequently. So my idea is to build earth dams at the entrances of several surrounding canyons. When it rains, we can block the rainwater. When the monsters come to attack the village again, we can release the water to flood it!"

Zhou Qing was excited: "As expected of Brother Chun, what a generous move!"

Dachun got to the point: "But the trouble is, what's the excuse for building the dam? Otherwise, if those Baga Curry consortiums find out, they'll definitely come and sabotage it!"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's simple. The news of Chun Ge killing the tree spirit has been announced, and the whole world knows about it. I guess the whole world has also guessed that there is an alien space near the village. So we can just use the excuse of discovering the alien space to send people everywhere to dig around, and then cover up the real construction team building the earth dam. Anyway, as long as no one knows it's going to rain, no one will guess what we are doing!"

Wow!!! I was struggling to figure this out, and now this long-forgotten "Tree Spirit Incident Announcement" has finally solved it all!
Dachun really had to look at Zhou Qing differently: "Leader, that's a good idea!"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll tell Brother Long about it. Also, Kakaxian in Bronze City has put together 10 large fireworks for a big show. Is this the abstract effect Brother Chun wants?"

Holy crap! These guys really took my job seriously! Ten big fireworks could spark a whole village festival, and they're quite expensive...

Dachun couldn't bear to let them waste their money, so he got straight to the point: "It's still not abstract enough. Why not just lift the manhole cover and blow it up? What if the methane explodes? The power and effect will be much worse, right?"

Zhou Qing was surprised: "There is methane in the sewer?"

Dachun smiled and said, "There should be. After all, there is methane in the mining area, and many sewers are converted from old underground mines."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pass it on to Brother Long. Brother Chun can pay attention to the website video to see the explosion effect."

"Okay! Just let me know when it explodes."

……

After the call ended, Dachun was extremely excited. No, he was utterly excited! He was just waiting for the sewer to explode, and then he could kill Beelzebub and put an end to the trouble forever.

But then again, forcibly opening a sewer manhole cover is a crime that obstructs urban traffic and endangers public safety.

Well, I'm sorry, brothers. If they end up in jail, along with me, I'll try to find a way to help them...

Dachun didn't have to wait long before Zhou Qing called: "Brother Chun, get ready for action!"

Dachun immediately instructed Ailian: "Ailian, send out all the dancers and prepare to kill the last maggot!"

Ailian smiled: "Okay, I'll feel bad if I keep a few of them alive!"

At the same time, Dachun opened the mobile video website to watch the live broadcast.

I saw the streets in chaos, and then the alarm went off—Bronze Vanguard City Announcement: Warning! Players are playing Kaka, and there's blood in some areas... Unauthorized opening of a manhole cover is a crime...

Dachun was shocked. Kakaxian's status was the same as Feng Xingcuo's, right? They were both in charge of the same Royal Family district, right? He actually put himself on the red list?
The next moment, there was a muffled sound from the sewer, and flames mixed with steam shot up into the sky!
Then there was another loud bang, the live broadcaster's screen shook, and the manhole covers on the surrounding streets were lifted into the sky by a huge air wave!
Damn, it really exploded the methane!

Dachun immediately ordered: "Ailian, do it!"

Ellen: "Got it!"

All of this was done to prevent Beelzebub's body from loosening when Beelzebub's demon soul was killed! Even if it loosened now, it would be because of the explosion in the sewer. The purpose was to mislead the Ten Lords and prevent them from thinking about Beelzebub...

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your team successfully killed the high-level Beelzebub Soul in the Soul State, gaining significant experience in soul combat. Your Spirit +10, your Command +100, your possessed Mirror Spirit Ailen has been greatly improved, and the strength of your dancer team has been greatly improved.

Kill! Soul combat plus spirit, add 10 points in one breath, cool!
The next moment, Ailian brought down several balls of light: "Dear, all the essence of Beelzebub has been collected. It will be complete after fusing with the previous crystal core."

"Then merge."

As the ball of light was absorbed into the crystal core, the crystal core flashed and emitted a diamond-like colorful scattered luster!

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have obtained a high-level Beelzebub crystal core gem. After absorption and inlaying, it can greatly enhance spatial displacement and purification effects.

Finally got it done, but it can only be used as a gem inlay.
