Chapter 20 Fellow Villagers Meet
Upon hearing this, Chief Inspector Lin was so excited he almost jumped up.
Shen Qingchan was startled and took a few steps back: "Don't get agitated—"
"From today onwards! You—" Master Lin paused, "What's your name?"
Shen Qingchan: "Shen Qingchan."
"Alright, Shen Qingchan, from today onwards, you will be the deputy envoy of the Demon Suppression Division!" After saying this, Chief Envoy Lin picked up a jade pendant with a jade-green color.
Pinch tightly with two fingers and apply pressure to the surface of the jade pendant for a moment.
The three characters "Shen Qingchan" were engraved on it.
Then, he gave the jade pendant to Shen Qingchan.
Looking at the ugly handwriting, Shen Qingchan suddenly felt like she had been tricked into joining a pyramid scheme, but she didn't think she had been scammed out of anything.
Fortunately, she was penniless.
Seeing his master being so casual, Pei Wuwang spoke up to remind him, "Master, what about Fang Yue, who claimed to be a time traveler not long ago?"
"You yourself said he has an extraordinary background and you intend to appoint him as deputy envoy, but you only have one position..."
Upon hearing this, the old man Lin paused, his face showing difficulty: "Oh, Fang Yue? I forgot about him, what should I do?"
Pei Wuwang: "..."
Before Shen Qingchan could react to the phrase "from another time," she saw the other person's gaze fall on her jade pendant. Shen Qingchan hurriedly put it away, barely dodging the other person's hand that was about to snatch it.
Having failed to obtain the jade pendant, the old man Lin coughed awkwardly, "Oh dear... what should we do now... logically speaking, with two suitable candidates, we should hold a competition to select them..."
He looked at Shen Qingchan somewhat awkwardly, but Shen Qingchan didn't intend to make things difficult for the old man: "Take me to see this Fang Yue, and I'll return this jade pendant to you."
"Is that all?" Old man Lin was somewhat stunned.
"Otherwise what?" Shen Qingchan retorted.
She mainly didn't know what other useful things the Demon Suppression Division had, otherwise she would have taken advantage of them at least a little.
Pei Wuwang: "I'll take you to him."
"it is good."
Shen Qingchan agreed and left with Pei Wuwang. Bai Si, who was originally following behind him, did not follow. Shen Qingchan subconsciously turned around and glanced back.
As luck would have it, the other person also glanced at her, and their eyes met awkwardly. Shen Qingchan clicked her tongue inwardly and ignored it.
Since she'll be under the Demon Suppression Division anyway, she has plenty of time to investigate the other party's background and identity.
As Shen Qingchan pondered this, she and Pei Wuwang arrived at Fang Yue's residence.
The other party's residence was very small. Pei Wuwang knocked on the door, and Fang Yue came out with a tired face: "Who is it..."
After seeing Pei Wuwang clearly, he sighed with a hint of frustration: "I've already said I'm not some savior, I'm not capable, all I want to do now is go back..."
"I'm so annoyed by you all! Every single day! I've told you, I'm really not from this world—"
"Imperial Jade Liquor," Shen Qingchan tentatively interrupted.
Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Qingchan with a mixture of panic and joy, and tentatively asked, "One hundred and eighty yuan a cup?"
Pei Wuwang: "?"
Shen Qingchan: "How's this wine?"
"Listen to me play for you!!" Fang Yue excitedly and shockedly hugged Shen Qingchan tightly, his voice trembling with emotion, "Waaah... Listen to me play for you!"
Pei Wuwang: "??"
Shen Qingchan frowned, trying to push the person away, but the other person was holding her too tightly, too excited to express himself.
She could only look at Pei Wuwang and say, "You go first, I have something to talk to him about."
"Okay, call me if you need anything." Pei Wuwang gave her a paper crane for communication, which Shen Qingchan put into her sleeve.
Fang Yue was still reeling, trembling uncontrollably as he held Shen Qingchan in his arms: "Waaah... I finally understand what it means to be a fellow countryman and have tears welling up in your eyes, waaah—I've been here for so long, and I've finally seen someone from my hometown!"
"Let's go inside and talk," Shen Qingchan suggested.
Many people from the Demon Suppression Bureau passed by and stopped in their tracks when they saw the two embracing.
Fang Yue noticed their strange gazes and had no choice but to let go and lead Shen Qingchan into the house.
As soon as they sat down, Fang Yue impatiently asked, "Do you know how to get back? Do you know why we came here?"
Shen Qingchan shook her head: "I don't know."
"I was sleeping at the time, and when I woke up I was here. This is a game I played before, so I roughly knew where the safe zone was, so I came here..." Fang Yue rambled on, his mood gradually calming down.
"By the way, my name is Fang Yue, and I'm a college student." He realized halfway through his sentence that he hadn't introduced himself yet, "I'm a sophomore at Beijing Youth University."
"My name is Shen Qingchan, and I'm also a freshman at Beijing Youth University. I just woke up from a nap and ended up here," Shen Qingchan said lazily, arms crossed.
"Have you ever been into a dungeon?" Shen Qingchan asked.
"Not yet, because I was in the safe zone as soon as I landed."
"Do you have a system?" Shen Qingchan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"There is a system...," Fang Yue paused, "but it's called 'Good Luck Galore,' and I don't think it's very useful."
"I hadn't been in the safe zone for long when the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau came knocking on my door, claiming I was some kind of savior. They invited me up the mountain, provided me with good food and drink, and came every day to ask me if I had come up with a way to save the world..."
Shen Qingchan was speechless: "...Isn't this effective?"
She was nailed to a coffin as soon as she entered, and went through two dungeons, barely escaping death, before finally reaching the safe zone.
This lucky streak system is incredibly useful!
"You have no idea how annoyed I am by them! I've already told them I don't know, but they keep giving me good food and drinks. I don't feel at ease living here!" Fang Yue said, becoming more and more agitated.
Shen Qingchan felt increasingly urge to hit someone as she listened: "Alright, alright, I know, shut up."
Fang Yue: "...I really haven't met a fellow townsman like you in a long time."
Shen Qingchan pulled up a chair and sat down casually.
It was only then that she noticed that although the other person's place was not big, it had everything, including air conditioning, electric fans, and computers.
There were even traces left on the table where the other person had been drinking while playing games.
"Go and find out how the Demon Suppression Division maintains the safe zone, what the people here are required to do, and perhaps there's something we need to collect here that can help us get back," Shen Qingchan said, resting her chin on her hand in thought.
After all, the other party carries the [Good Luck] system, so there must be something they haven't discovered that has landed in the Demon Suppression Division's safe zone.
Fang Yue paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes in thought: "Their people regularly go to clear out the monsters, which are the so-called underground dungeons. Every night when the red moon rises, they will strengthen their defenses, and there will be monster attacks at the border of the safe zone."
"As for what they rely on... I'm not quite sure either, it seems to be something called a god..."
