Chapter 467: Good Game Making (22)

"The Stranger" was a recreational item that Bian Jia brought back to Baiyue City. It was a souvenir from a traveling merchant's journey, and he had quite a lot of such items.

He had dozens of such items, all of which were sent to him by Lin Yuan when he was leaving.

When they were sent over, Lin Yuan told Bian Jia that special restrictions had been added to these spells. Once activated, they could not be copied and could only be used in the corresponding bamboo slips.

Therefore, if you want others to play this game, you must either give each of them a bamboo slip, or purchase the online version through Shentong.com.

Bian Jia didn't know what Lin Yuan's intention was in making this arrangement, but he still thanked Lin Yuan, then took the bamboo slips back to Baiyue City, and planned to find a chance to give some away, as a favor.

Lying on the recliner, Bian Jia took the elixir he had bought at a high price, then held his breath and concentrated, silently practicing his family's inherited foundation-building technique.

Just as he was getting into the mood, he heard someone walk in and asked loudly, "Old Bian? Is Old Bian here?"

Opening his eyes with dissatisfaction, Bian Jia found that he had only been meditating for two days and only a little bit of magic power had been condensed in his body.

The remaining medicinal effect of the pill was still taking effect, but his mind was already in turmoil and he couldn't continue.

If it was an ordinary person, Bian Jia would have just asked the servants to drive him away.

However, the other party is the manager of the City Lord's Mansion, and many things still require his help, so I can't shirk it.

There was no other way. He could only sigh, finish his work, and stand up. Then he bowed to the middle-aged man who came in and said, "Manager Zhao, what brings you here?"

"I heard you were back, so I came to see you. Was the journey hard? Were you injured? How is your family doing?"

Although I know that the other party must have something to ask of me, talking nonsense is a characteristic of local officials and I have to appreciate it.

Therefore, he could only suppress the annoyance of having his practice interrupted and chat with the other party in a disjointed manner, even agreeing with him from time to time, which made the chat very tiring.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bian Jia called the servant over and handed over a full bag of spiritual rice.

Spirit rice is not a rare item in Kyushu, but it has become a rare delicacy in the exile area.

There are no impurities in the spiritual rice, which is full of spiritual energy. After being improved by Shennong Valley, it has a unique fragrance. It is especially delicious when paired with the meat of local spiritual beasts in the exile area.

Because it can only be obtained through traveling merchants, it is often the hard currency in interpersonal relationships here, and few people can resist the temptation of spiritual rice.

Bian Jia originally thought that the other party came to extort money because he thought his bribe was not enough, so he could only reluctantly give away some spiritual rice.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party just glanced at the spiritual rice, and his greedy eyes flashed by, and then he immediately said to Bian Jia: "Old Bian, you and I have known each other for so long, I really came to see you. Who do you think I am?"

The other party tried to get closer to him, but Bian Jia became even more nervous.

In Baiyue City, interests come first in everything. It is not a good thing for others to get close to you, as it often means that the other party will be rude next.

Moreover, even more than ten kilograms of spiritual rice could not make the other party leave. What the other party wants must be of great importance, so we must be cautious.

Sensing Bian Jia's nervousness, Manager Zhao scratched his beard and smiled, then said to Bian Jia: "Don't be so nervous, I just want to ask, when you entered the city the day before yesterday morning, did you give a bamboo slip to the guard at the gate?"

"What bamboo slips? I don't know." Bian Jia immediately distanced himself from the matter and said that he knew nothing about that thing.

"Okay, Brother Bian, there's no point in pretending anymore. I'll tell you something in secret, the city lord has taken action."

Bian Jia's pupils immediately contracted, and then he invited Manager Zhao into the study, served him some spiritual tea, and asked nervously, "What's going on?"

Without drinking tea, Manager Zhao became serious for once and said seriously, "After the guard got the bamboo slips, he asked his lover to meet him in the evening to prepare for something. To liven things up, he opened the bamboo slips you gave him and scolded you for a quarter of an hour."

"There's no need to go into details like this. What then?"

"Then he lost interest in being with his lover, so he simply opened the bamboo slips you gave him and started playing with them. It didn't matter that he played with them, but the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dark, and he didn't show up for two whole days."

"It's just absenteeism, not that serious." "As for that, the man actually has some background. When they found out that he hadn't shown up for two days, they thought he was killed by a vendetta, which scared the man's parents. The captain of the guards was also shocked, and quickly sent people to look for him. Finally, he was found at the place where the old man and his lover were. When they were found, the two were lying on the bed, playing games enthusiastically."

Hearing this, Bian Jia looked at Manager Zhao speechlessly, feeling that the other party was a little absurd.

Although Baiyue City has nothing else, it still has some entertainment methods.

You are so absorbed in playing a mere game that you forget everything else. Aren't you a little too weird?

After sorting out his thoughts, Bian Jia continued to ask: "Then, why did the city lord take action?"

"The man's parents scolded their son, but he didn't repent and scolded him back. He also said that after living for so long, he finally knew why he was alive. You don't understand the fun of the game, get out of here!"

"……Then what?"

"Then, the couple thought there was something wrong with the magic, and asked someone to come and investigate, but no abnormalities were found. Finally, they came to the city lord's mansion for help. The city lord then took action to investigate the situation inside, and then said that there was no problem, it was just too much fun."

Hearing this, Bian Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

No problem is best.

However, he asked doubtfully: "Since there is no problem, why did you come to me?"

"The city lord is not very old, you know that, right?"

"Well, not much older than my son."

"After he finished playing, he felt it was fun, but he was embarrassed to take someone else's bamboo slips back to play with, so he asked me to ask you if you had any extra ones. If not, he would go back and steal them from that person."

"This one……"

After thinking about it, Bian Jia wanted to say, "Why don't you make a copy?", but then he remembered that this thing cannot be copied.

Did Lin Yuan have already anticipated this situation when he gave me the jade slip?

If this is true, then Lin Yuan is really terrifying.

Although he felt like he was being plotted against, Bian Jia was actually very grateful to Lin Yuan.

The city lord is high above everyone else, and it is very difficult for a small figure like me to even meet someone of Manager Zhao's level. I had never thought of getting in touch with the city lord before.

After a brief thought, he handed over the bamboo slips, and then quietly gave a copy of the magic spell to Manager Zhao.

When he saw the bamboo slips, Manager Zhao smiled.

After seeing the spell, he asked in surprise: "What is this?"

"I and my men have come up with some insights. Manager Zhao can take a look. Maybe it will help the city lord avoid taking detours."

Manager Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Bian Jia, then suddenly laughed.

Recently, several of their managers have been fighting openly and secretly, and everyone wants to show off in front of the new city lord.

It’s just that the new city lord was quite mysterious before, and many of his preferences were still unclear, so I didn’t dare to act rashly for fear of flattering the wrong person.

Now that I have the strategy, I will definitely be able to come first and impress the city lord.

Patting Bian Jia on the shoulder, he said sincerely: "Bian Jia, you did a good job."

"No, it's because the game is well made." Bian Jia replied with a smile.
