I deliver food in a bizarre world

The third task is a gray frame, which should be the easiest level.

[Order: Stall at the crossroads (easy target)]

[Item: Three Tongbao (must be prepared by yourself, or use an equivalent value of items containing Yang energy)]

Location: Intersection of Jianshe Avenue and Renmin Road, West District, Jinghai City.

[Note: At certain intersections, a stall will appear late at night, displaying a bowl of white rice with chopsticks stuck in it. If you buy and eat this rice, the next few days will be very smooth; however, if you buy it but don't eat it or waste it, you will have a series of bad luck. Task requirement: Buy white rice and eat it on the spot.]

[Time Limit: Within 7 days of acceptance. Note that the stall will only appear at midnight.]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Coins, Blessing of Good Fortune (weak, lasts for three days)]

[Punishment: Bad luck (mild, lasting one week)]

The three tasks differed in difficulty and risk. Yesterday's three were: easy, arduous, and life-threatening.

Today, however, it's like taking something out of a bag, fraught with danger and life hanging by a thread.

Based on the task descriptions and rewards, he ranked the levels.

The difficulty of weekly tasks, from low to high, should be gray, green, blue, gold, purple, and red.

Chen Mo has already accepted the role of [Wandering Costume].

He hadn't finished the yellow-difficulty quest yet, and he didn't want to take on another high-difficulty weekly quest at the same time.

Moreover, the idea of ​​"the last subway" sounded very unreliable, and he had no plans to explore that kind of unknown space for the time being.

His gaze lingered between the ancestral hall watchman and the crossroads stall.

He can do the "Stall at the Crossroads" quest tonight at midnight, but he needs to bring his own items, the reward is minimal, and the penalty is bad luck... It's a terrible deal just thinking about it.

The description of the "Ancestral Hall Night Watchman" mentioned "family descendants" and the location was Chenjia'ao, which made him feel a little uneasy.

His surname is Chen? Could it be related to his family?

He immediately shook his head. How could that be!

His hometown is in western Hunan. The Chen family in Jinghai City and his Chen family in southern Hunan Province should not have had any relationship in recent generations.

This mission doesn't seem to involve survival or fighting; there won't be any direct confrontations.

He realized that the training his father had arranged for Chen Xing might be on the weekend, while the "Ancestral Hall Night Watchman" job required him to work from sunset until the rooster crowed the next day. Therefore, he could schedule it for Friday night, and then...

An idea popped into my head.

Oh, right, he can bring Chen Xing along!

The idea was to expose Chen Xing to some relatively safe paranormal events in advance, with someone watching over him.

This will allow him to gain experience and also allow us to see how he reacts under real pressure.

With that in mind, Chen Mo made a decision.

He pointed to the pale blue [Order: Temple Watchman].

[Accept the weekly quest "Hall Watchman"?]

[After accepting the task, a weekly countdown will begin.]

Chen Mo selected "Yes," and the mission was successfully accepted.

After arranging his weekly tasks, Chen Mo, as usual, hopped on his electric scooter and began his food delivery work.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, he made a point of wearing a baseball cap today, pulling the brim down slightly, and also got a pair of frameless glasses.

He looked much more refined and youthful, like a vibrant college student.

However, after all this effort, he found that the effect was almost zero when he actually put it into practice.

Today, many customers and passersby recognized him again...

Almost everyone in Jinghai City has heard about this, except for those who don't use the internet and some elderly people.

Moreover, most people knew about his job, and many would carefully check if the deliveryman's surname was Chen, or if he was the war correspondent from back then, when ordering food...

Some people asked about the details of the park out of curiosity, some offered enthusiastic encouragement, and others pointed and gestured from afar.

He was completely speechless.

We can only try to keep a low profile, complete the delivery work quickly, and absolutely not linger in any one place!

Otherwise, we would be surrounded immediately...

By the end of the day, Chen Mo felt his head was spinning...

"Brother Mo, you're really a celebrity now," Zhao Tianyi thought to himself. "Everywhere you go, people recognize you."

"It's really troublesome!" Chen Mo replied simply. He preferred the peaceful days of quietly delivering meals and playing games at home in the evenings.

After a busy day, Chen Mo finished his last delivery in the evening and headed to Jinyang Residential Area.

He hadn't gotten a single fare along his route all day, and he was quite frustrated.

The setting sun painted the sky orange-red, and the city lights gradually came on.

The closer you get to the old town area where Jinyang Community is located, the quieter the roads become.

The streetlights were bright, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the car headlights illuminated the road ahead.

When they reached a sparsely populated side road, a faint stinging sensation suddenly appeared in Ling Tong's eyes. Chen Mo immediately became alert, slowed down, and looked ahead.

A hundred meters ahead, in the very middle of a straight road, stood a person standing quietly!

It was a blurry figure dressed in dark, old-fashioned work clothes, with its back to him.

Without a sound, without movement, it stood abruptly in the middle of the empty road...

The other person stood exceptionally upright, like a wooden stake driven into the ground, completely still.

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly remembered that the information recorded on the USB drive mentioned a kind of urban legend!

It's blocking the road and making people's lives miserable!

The information was very detailed, and Chen Mo was deeply impressed after reading it not long ago.

If you see someone standing straight in the middle of an empty road late at night, without moving, do not approach out of curiosity or honk your horn.

That might be a warding-off spirit, taking the brunt of the misfortune ahead for you; you can simply walk around it.

If you disturb it, misfortune will return to you...

Chen Mo immediately turned the handlebars, and the electric scooter drew an arc and drove onto the sidewalk beside the road.

He circled around the stationary figure from a distance, behind and to the side.

Throughout the entire process, he made no move to disturb the other party, and even his breathing became soft.

After driving quite a distance, he glanced behind him in the rearview mirror to make sure the figure had disappeared into the night before Chen Mo finally relaxed his tense nerves.

This thing is extremely ominous; it's best to avoid it if possible...

The comments section was buzzing with discussion.

Someone didn't see: [What happened just now? Why did Brother Mo suddenly take a detour?]

Someone didn't see it clearly: "I think I saw a figure in the middle of the road?"

[Did he drink too much and pass out on the street? Why isn't Brother Mo going to check on him?]

Wait a minute, that person is standing perfectly straight!

Some knowledgeable people said: "Those in the front, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! That's for warding off evil! Don't touch it!"

[Holy crap! Really? I've encountered this while driving at night too! I thought it was weird, so I ignored it!]

[Brother Mo is awesome! He recognized me at a glance!]

Chen Mo explained: "Yes, the guy who said 'cat at one o'clock in the morning' is right, it's to ward off evil spirits."

"This thing is very strange. It appears in front of you to ward off evil spirits. You just need to avoid it."

"If you offend him, the evil he shielded for you will fall upon you."

"Don't disbelieve me, but please don't be curious about this, otherwise the consequences will be dire, and you won't even have a chance to regret it."
