Hearing his grandson being so sensible, Mr. Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead."

He then talked to Jiang Xu about Zhao Ci'an. After all, he didn't expect his grandson, who was like an iceberg, to be able to sell himself.

"I adopted Ci'an, and he just turned 25 this year. Don't be fooled by his cold personality, he is actually very careful in doing many things. Now most of the work in the store is handed over to him..."

Mr. Zhao praised Zhao Ci'an's strengths: "People in our line of work naturally need to be more calm. Ci'an has been alone for so many years."

Jiang Xu didn't realize that Mr. Zhao was promoting his grandson, and he even responded with a few compliments.

Seeing that his sales pitch was almost complete, Mr. Zhao naturally changed the subject and started talking about the survivors' rest area.

Jiang Xu also listened quietly, replying a word or two from time to time.

Time passed quickly, and half a day was over in the blink of an eye. Mr. Zhao enthusiastically invited Jiang Xu to stay for lunch, and the latter could not refuse, so he agreed.

But what made Zhao Ci'an autistic was.

He couldn't get into their conversation at the dinner table. The old and the young talked about household matters, the origin of the universe, and philosophical questions like which came first, the chicken or the egg...

Zhao Ci'an was very suspicious whether his grandfather was trying so hard to promote himself just to find a granddaughter-in-law with whom he could chat.

After dinner, Zhao Ci'an went to wash the dishes without complaint, while Jiang Xu was kept chatting by Mr. Zhao.

"Grandpa Zhao, do you think if I go to the dungeon tomorrow, can I come back before the trial dungeon?"

Jiang Xu also started to address the other person as Grandpa Zhao.

Mr. Zhao thought for a moment and said, "A normal C-level dungeon takes a short time, two or three days, while a B-level dungeon takes a week at most. If you really want to play a dungeon, go for a C-level dungeon.

Xiao Xu, you were promoted to B-level by exception. You should try to adapt to C-level and then decide whether to go to B-level. The difficulty of each level increases greatly. "

Jiang Xu nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhao."

Old Zhao asked with a smile: "Do you need my useless grandson to accompany you? He is quite strong."

Zhao Ci'an:? How did I go from being calm and steady to being useless?!

"No need, Grandpa Zhao, Ci'an still has a lot of work to do, so let's not disturb him." Jiang Xu declined.

Mr. Zhao did not force it, but just invited: "Stay for dinner tonight? I'll ask Ci'an to make you a braised chicken with scallion oil, which is delicious and fragrant."

Jiang Xu swallowed his saliva. The foodie couldn't refuse: "Then thank you, Grandpa Zhao, for your hospitality."

"Why thank me? I should thank you for chatting with an old man like me. I think your cane will be ready tomorrow morning. I'll ask Ci'an to send it to you."

Mr. Zhao asked cautiously: "Where does Xiaoxu live now? Have you found a suitable house? Let me tell you, many rental shops are shady, so be careful."

Jiang Xu rubbed his head and said, "To be honest, I don't have a fixed place to stay yet. I plan to just stay for a day and then go to the dungeon directly."

Mr. Zhao said with a hint of reproach: "Many hotels are very dirty, and some even have cameras installed. It is also dangerous at night, so you must be vigilant in this regard. If you want, you can stay here for a day, and I will ask Ci'an to clean up the guest room."

Mr. Zhao was afraid that the other party would worry, so he gave another plan: "Ci'an has a few friends who run hotels. I'll ask him to take you there. You can rest assured, and I'll give you a discount."

Jiang Xu was still a little hesitant, but thinking that he would be able to get the cane tomorrow morning, and feeling embarrassed to let Zhao Ci'an run around, he simply agreed to stay for one night.

The bt in the room should just stay alone in the empty room, hahaha?(ˊ?ˋ*)

"By the way, Grandpa Zhao, I got a long sword in the dungeon. Take a look at it."

Jiang Xu handed the long sword to the other party. Mr. Zhao stroked the sword carefully and praised it repeatedly: "The material of this sword is very good and it has been well maintained. The owner of the sword probably loves it very much."

Remembering that An Yihan's swordsmanship came from his father, Jiang Xu nodded: "Can it be used as material?"

Elder Zhao guessed that the other party wanted to continue upgrading the cane, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "If this sword is not melted, it can at least be used at A level."

"I don't like using sword very much because I'm not very strong." Jiang Xu touched his nose.

It's actually very small...

Fighting with the male master actually requires more skills and infinite reincarnation.

Mr. Zhao expressed his understanding: "How about this, you sell the sword to me, I will exchange the money for materials, and upgrade your blind stick to pseudo-A level status."

Mr. Zhao explained: "Because some materials are hard to obtain, the maximum level is only this level. If there are players selling related materials, I will notify you first."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Zhao." Jiang Xu believed in the other person's character.

Because it takes a lot of materials and a long time to upgrade to a pseudo-A-level weapon, the two agreed to upgrade after the trial copy.

Mr. Zhao smiled and asked Jiang Xu to add his and Zhao Ci'an's contact information.

Zhao Ci'an continued to work as a tool to clean the guest rooms, and he felt a little autistic.

My grandfather wouldn't...

Probably not!

the other side.

"Xiao Xu, you don't know that Ci'an is like an iceberg every day. It's hard for me to find someone to chat with."

Mr. Zhao began to feel that his son Ci'an was no longer worthy of the other party.

Zhao Ci'an: ???

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Xu ate the braised chicken with scallion oil made by Zhao Ci'an with great satisfaction, and chatted with Mr. Zhao for a while.

The latter was afraid that it would affect Jiang Xu's early get-up tomorrow, so he directly asked Zhao Ci'an to send Jiang Xu to the guest room.

"Do you want to hold my hand?" Zhao Ci'an asked cautiously.

Jiang Xu rubbed his eyes, feeling a little sleepy: "Well...thank you."

My body is still weak, I feel so tired after just a few times of sensing...

Zhao Ci'an carefully held the other person's hand, restrained himself from making any other movements, and took Jiang Xu to the guest room in small steps.

The tips of his ears felt slightly hot, but his voice remained indifferent: "This is the bathroom. The towels are new and clean. The shower gel is also new. You can buy clothes in the mall."

Jiang Xu belatedly smelled the fragrance on Zhao Ci'an's body. It seemed that the other party had taken a shower and changed into new clothes before coming to send him over.

"Ci'an, thank you." Jiang Xu curved his eyes.

"No need, feel free to contact me if you have any questions." Zhao Ci'an ran away with a red face.

After Jiang Xu confirmed that there was nothing wrong in the bathroom, he locked the door and started taking a shower. The shower gel smelled very good, the same smell as Zhao Ci'an's body.

"Hello." A familiar voice sounded.

"? Lamp Spirit?" Jiang Xu wrapped himself tightly in a bath towel and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?"

Yu rubbed his temple, somewhat forgetting what happened in the copy: "I'm not watching you take a bath, can't you see that the boy is interested in you?"

"Isn't it normal that I can't tell?" Jiang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lamp God’s credibility is still good, Jiang Xu took the clothes and put them on quickly.

Yu snorted coldly: "They are all up to something bad."

They all want to kidnap you.

"What's there to be evil about? I'm just a blind newbie who looks average." Jiang Xu still had the disguise on his face.

Instead, he felt that Yu had worse intentions.

After Jiang Xu left the bathroom, he lay down on the bed and comforted the other person: "Don't you still have me?"

Yu snorted, and his mood obviously improved a lot: "Then you have to keep me safe."

"Got it." Jiang Xu yawned and turned off the light. "Good night, bad lamp god."

"Good night." Defenseless little fool.

After a dreamless night, Jiang Xu heard a knock on the door early the next morning and got up in a daze.

"A Xu, would you like to have breakfast?" Zhao Ci'an stood in front of the door, holding a plate with fried eggs and sausage in his hand.

"Well... morning... breakfast!" Jiang Xu woke up immediately after hearing the word breakfast while half asleep, "Eat! Thank you Ci'an~"

Zhao Ci'an swallowed his saliva and lowered his eyes slightly: "I put it on the cabinet beside the bed for you. It's fried eggs and ham, all cut up."

Jiang Xu, whose mind was full of breakfast, easily let the other person into the room. After Zhao Ci put the plate down, he began to eat.

Zhao Ci'an inexplicably felt the joy of feeding a kitten.

His face flushed as he took out the cane that he had carefully stored in the space: "It's already done, please check it."

Jiang Xu reluctantly put down his breakfast and briefly checked the cane. Other parts of the cane had been reinforced so it would not break easily.

The blade is made of better material and is sharper.

Jiang Xu pressed the small mechanism, and the blade popped out and retracted more quickly, and the weight of the cane did not change much.

"Ci'an is amazing (′?w?`)" Jiang Xu held his new pet and fiddled with it everywhere, "How much is the salary?"

"10 will be fine." Zhao Ci'an lowered the price a little further according to the market price, but when he thought that the newbie didn't seem to have that much money, he was about to ask for a discount.

Jiang Xu has already transferred the money to the other party.

When he and Mr. Zhao discussed the money for the sword, they agreed that the increase would be based on the next time's wages, and it would not be counted as this time's wages. The excess would be refunded and the shortfall would be supplemented later.

The player forum said that upgrading weapons at the blacksmith shop is very expensive, so Jiang Xu was naturally mentally prepared.

Isn't it just a reward for his SSS score in a dungeon? Earning money is to be spent!

I gave it to you!

Zhao Ci'an swallowed his words and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to enter the dungeon later?"

Jiang Xu nodded: "C-level, which copy do you think is easier?"

Jiang Xu talked to the system and learned that each level of SABC is divided into four levels: normal, difficult, nightmare, and hell.

There is only one nightmare in Class C, but there are two in hell.

There are more B-level ones, about 20 in total.

Since you have to go to the last two difficulty levels anyway, you might as well choose a relatively simple one to test the waters first.

Zhao Ci'an thought for a while: "Strange talk about rules? You just need to follow the rules to survive, but you also need a certain level of observation to find inconsistencies in the rules and infer the true rules."

Jiang Xu thought about it. According to the rules, he could do it, but if he used his brain, his CPU would burn out...

But the only nightmare difficulty is the rule-based weird dungeon…

The last two are definitely more difficult.

Jiang Xu didn't show it, but just chuckled and said, "Then I hope I can match this kind of copy."

[Nightmare-level copy "Room 401" has been selected]

"I'm leaving now." Jiang Xu said goodbye to Zhao Ci'an, "See you next time."

"Be careful." Zhao Ci'an nodded.

[Teleport countdown: 3]

Jiang Xu moved closer to the other person.

【2】

Zhao Ci'an felt a little uneasy, but did not avoid him. He just looked at Jiang Xu with a blushing face.

【1】

"Are you...really planning something bad to me?"

Jiang Xu asked softly, curiously.

【Transferring】

When Zhao Ci'an's face was about to explode with redness, Jiang Xu, who was only half a fist away from him, suddenly disappeared.

He leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look. The room was full of Jiang Xu's scent.

Very fragrant...

Zhao Ci'an just felt dry mouth and tongue, and ran out of Jiang Xu's room as if escaping for his life, but came back halfway and closed the door considerately.

The system just watched as its baby calmly timed his flirtation with Zhao Ci'an, then patted his butt and left.

What a little rascal.

Why don't you tease yourself? QAQ

[Welcome player Jiang Xu to enter the C-level nightmare copy "Room 401"]

[Main Mission: Survive for three days according to the rules]

[Hidden task: not triggered]

[Side quest: Not yet enabled]

[SSS achievement conditions: be an obedient rule-follower/a rebellious player and survive]

[Plot: You are the wife of Room 401. You must abide by the rules written by your husband, otherwise you will be punished by your husband.]

[Reminder: There are various dangers in the room. If necessary, you can ask your husband for help. Improving your husband's favorability can help you complete the task to a greater extent. ]

[Side quest successfully triggered]

[Side Quest 1: Comfort the abandoned and forgotten puppy]

Jiang Xu stood in the living room and turned on his perception directly.

[Baby, find the rules first~ The live broadcast is also open~]

Jiang Xu nodded. The disguise on his face was not necessary in the copy because his true appearance had already been seen by the audience in the live broadcast room.

The living room is ordinary, nothing special, but it is clean.

Jiang Xu saw a piece of paper not far away, picked it up and looked at it, hmm, he couldn't see it clearly.

His perception can currently only roughly know the location of all nearby objects, but it allows him to see clearly what is written on a piece of paper.

He hasn't activated this skill yet.

It doesn’t matter. Jiang Xu put the note away first. He also sensed another note on the table.

Take them all first.

But surprisingly, there is Braille on it, but very surprisingly...

The moment Jiang Xu picked up the note, the remaining notes rolled to the ground and rolled all the way to the kitchen several meters away, and was still rolling.

"Rule...Rule weirdness...???"

Jiang Xu held the note in his hand and fell into deep thought.

What kind of rules are so long? Is this the difficulty of a nightmare instance?

Even he doesn’t have that many wishes that he wants to fulfill!!!

[Stars in the Red Lotus: Oh, my poor wife, how come I got matched with a nightmare-level copy again? I am obsessed with my wife's beauty every day. 】

[Bluebird Lantern: My wife, why don’t you take a longer break? I see other players can’t wait to take a break every day. Do you miss me? ]

[The burping cat: You obviously miss me, my wife is so cute even when she is silly (?e?)]

[Jiang Bao Zuimei: How can this rule be so long? Hahaha, my wife was shocked. I didn’t want to laugh, but I really couldn’t help it hahaha——]
