What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

Seeing that Xu Shimo didn't respond, Manager Chang continued:

"In short, Wang Chatou's explanation only made it seem like he was trying to cover something up, and even the Black Wind Gang treated you like one of their own."

Xu Shimo squeezed the note in his hand, thinking to himself that what he said was indeed true.

However, this only fulfills the prerequisites. What about the rewards and risks?

Xu Shimo raised the wooden sign in his hand, without saying anything more, but the meaning was clear.

The task at hand is highly likely to be extremely risky, but it's just a strongman from the Embroidered Uniform Guard...

Lu Yi's words did not directly answer the question:

"Juyi Village is located at the junction of three counties, nestled among mountains. It is not only easy to defend but also difficult to attack. In addition, it raises a group of strange insects. At dawn and dusk, they breathe out clouds and mist, covering the entire Juyi Village. However, for the people in the village, these mists cannot obstruct their vision."

Xu Shimo asked suspiciously, "Mr. Lu, you don't mean for me to pretend to be a member of the Black Wind Gang and infiltrate, then take the opportunity to poison these alien insects, do you?"

Is this reasonable?

Seeing Lu Yi nod, Xu Shimo could no longer contain herself.

I almost thought Lu Yi was joking.

I knew it was dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be this dangerous.

Since these alien insects are extremely important, even arguably the foundation of Juyi Village, they must be strictly guarded.

Lu Yi nodded as he took out a porcelain bottle and said:

"Simply ignite the paste in the bottle in the dense forest where the alien insects are raised, and before an incense stick has burned, the alien insects will no longer be able to exhale and exhale mist."

After listening, Xu Shimo fell silent.

The stuff is good, but...

What's the use of this wooden sign?

Lu Yi: "The next batch of Enlightenment Pills from the Embroidered Uniform Guard will arrive in half a year, but I can try to get one from Cloud City. As for the Enlightenment Method, the merits from this trip are enough to earn it."

"Furthermore, if things go well, even if Chief Xu does not become a Daoist at that time, I can make an exception and promote you to the position of Embroidered Robe Deputy Envoy."

Xu Shimo thought for a moment and asked, "What's the situation inside the village?"

"The chief is elusive and rarely seen, so he is most likely not in the stronghold at the moment; the second chief is a master of disguise and has been appearing in Cloud City."

"The third leader was the former deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang. He rarely takes action, but he is a master of Taoism with three to five meridians open. The fourth leader is at most a master of one meridian. He escaped from Master Chen's hands that day."

"The fifth one is even worse, not yet a cultivator, but not to be underestimated; the sixth one..."

At this point, Lu Yi paused, his voice tinged with sadness.

The sixth son, the son of his former comrade-in-arms, and his father both died at the hands of bandits.

Finally, Xu Shimo nodded, but quickly shook his head again.

"Not enough," he said.

The chief was considered to be hiding in the village.

The third leader is counted according to the Five Classics, the fourth leader according to the Two Classics, and the fifth leader according to the level of a novice.

Therefore, this trip is undoubtedly a dangerous and dangerous undertaking.

At the very least, one must enter the path!

It is necessary to have the ability to put up a short-term resistance.

Then you need a more advanced movement technique, and you need to master it to perfection.

After thinking it over, Xu Shimo spoke, raising her finger at the same time:

"First, I need the Mind-Opening Pill now, and the Mind-Opening Method as well. If Mr. Lu is unwilling to agree to this, then there's no point in discussing anything further."

Seeing Lu Yi nod, Xu Shimo continued speaking.

"Secondly, I need the Power Pills, ten of them! And I need them now—at least within these three days."

This time, it was Manager Chang who spoke first:

"Young Master Xu, the Daoist academy's powerful pills are forbidden from being circulated outside the academy."

Xu Shimo smiled without saying a word, only looking at Lu Yi.

Do you think I wouldn't know whether or not it's prohibited from being leaked?

I've even climbed up and sat on the golden statue of the Taoist Ancestor—of course, that was in the game "Conquering the Throne".

Moreover, if it's not used for large-scale profit, it's not worth investigating.

After a long pause, Lu Yi finally nodded: "Okay."

"Ah Lang..."

Lu Yi raised his hand to stop Manager Chang: "If Officer Xu has any other requests, he can bring them up at the same time."

Obviously, compared to annihilating Juyi Village, a small price to pay is nothing.

"third,"

Xu Shimo continued, "I want a body technique and a movement technique of a certain realm."

"Young Master Xu, you haven't even entered the Dao yet, and you're already asking for a movement technique of the first level? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Once one enters the Dao, it is called the first realm, which requires opening up the twelve regular meridians and seven channels.

Entering the Dao is a threshold, and the corresponding techniques are naturally not priced.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shimo glanced at Manager Chang and smiled:

"Manager Chang, have you forgotten that I told you I'm a genius!"

Manager Chang: "..."

"Any other requests?" Lu Yi asked, lowering his gaze.

That's all for now...

As she spoke, Xu Shimo seemed to suddenly remember something and raised another finger: "Fourth—"

"Mr. Xu!"

Lu Yi interrupted him, his voice low but filled with restrained anger, "You need to know when to stop. This trip isn't entirely dependent on you."

Xu Shimo smiled, but instead of responding directly, she held up the note in her hand.

"But I am indeed the most suitable candidate," he replied.

Looking closely, Lu Yi pondered for a long time, his gaze no longer as kind as before, and uttered a single word:

"speak!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Shimo, holding the wooden plaque, clasped his hands in a fist salute:

"Fourth—This humble servant, Xu Shimo, respectfully requests Your Excellency to prepare the dispatch letter as soon as possible. Once this battle is won, this humble servant hopes to become Your Excellency's right-hand man."

"Furthermore, if my previous request has been difficult, could it be repaid with my future military achievements?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Manager Chang's slightly raised eyebrows on his plump, pink face also lowered, making him look somewhat dazed.

Lu Yi, too, showed no sign of anger, and simply stared straight at Xu Shimo.

After a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud, took two steps forward, and gently patted Xu Shimo's shoulder:

"Xu Lishi is quite confident."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shimo knew he was safe and replied, "Juyi Village has committed many injustices, but I believe that good will prevail over evil."

"Evil cannot prevail over good; what a powerful statement that evil cannot prevail over good!"

Upon hearing his reply, Lu Yi was momentarily dazed, then walked towards the door, leaving behind only two sentences.

"What you want will be delivered tomorrow. As for that 'power pill,' buy it with silver. If you can't afford it, you can owe it to me for now."

"As for tonight, rest assured, even if things don't go smoothly, I will ensure your safety."

"..."

Xu Shimo was quite satisfied with the result.

Even when fleecing wealthy households, one cannot do so indiscriminately, especially when dealing with a...

The strategy is to first criticize before praising.

It was taught to me by my senior during my graduate studies: first, repeatedly teeter on the edge of your supervisor's approval, and then produce some unexpected results, which often yields unexpected effects.

And so, the cost of acquiring the One Realm Body Technique was waived.

Although I wanted to buy ten Strength Pills, these things were priceless and unavailable, and each pill cost five taels of silver, which was only fifty taels. Even with a slight premium, it was still incomparable to the former.

However, what puzzled Xu Shimo was...

Lu Yi is so determined to eliminate the bandits!

Was it really just the death of "Oshin" that caused him such a huge shock?

In Chihe County, besides Song Wen, it's surprising to find another person so eager to help others.
