The Jade Continent game is famous for its endless side quests and various adventures. Almost every NPC with some background has a not-so-short side quest, even if Chu Xiao is a loyal player who has been playing since the day the server was launched. , He didn't dare to say that he had gone through every NPC's mission.

Fortunately, the role of He Lan is a sideline NPC, and most players who are engaged in stone gambling know him, and Chu Xiao is no exception.

So Chu Xiao not only knew He Lan well, but also knew what He Lan would say next.

But if you know you know, you still have to follow the routine that you should follow. What Chu Xiao has to do now is to know what he knows, not to show it on the surface, and to talk to He Lan pretending to be ignorant.

"Little brother is a straightforward person. Since this is the case, if people don't speak secretly, I will speak directly."

With a flick of his wrist, He Lan opened the folding fan and shook it twice. He said seriously, "I'm He Lan from the He family in Wangcheng. I'm planning to start a jadeite business recently. I'm recruiting an exclusive stone gambler. I don't know what the little brother wants?"

Chu Xiao was overjoyed.

This opening line is exactly the same as in the game.

Merchants in the jadeite business will have exclusive stone gamblers, whose responsibility is to provide merchants with a fixed amount of high-quality jadeite every year, and merchants will provide the stone gamblers with a basic salary and a part of moonstones needed to purchase rough stones.

The cooperation between professional stone gamblers and merchants can be said to be the inevitable result of the general environment. After all, the stone gambling industry is too risky. If you don’t pay attention, you will go bankrupt. If there are merchants as the backing, life will be much easier.

Of course, Chu Xiao has no such risk. He would definitely refuse to cooperate with anyone else, but it was He Lan...

In the game, He Lan acts as a fixed emerald recovery channel for players. After finishing his side storyline, all the emeralds obtained by players engaged in the stone gambling sideline during the game can be exchanged for moonstones through He Lan.

However, in reality, He Lan is not a trading window, but a living person, the most famous emerald merchant in the future.

"I'm just an amateur stone gambler. I don't have such lofty ambitions. I just want to live my life in a mediocre way, and I don't want to get involved with big families." Chu Xiao said.

He Lan immediately said: "I don't have so many rules here. If you don't want to attract attention, then we won't sign an agreement. I will give you a VIP card. Any jade you gambled in the past three years can be traded for money. , Guaranteed to be higher than the market price, how about it?"

Chu Xiao has a special status, and being too conspicuous is not good for him, and He Lan's name will become popular in the near future. Once he becomes He Lan's "exclusive stone gambler", it will be difficult not to be famous.

Not signing an agreement is indeed very much in Chu Xiao's mind, but at the same time, neither party has any responsibilities to bear. From the perspective of cheating, Chu Xiao is at a disadvantage because he can provide He Lan with countless senior Jadeite, but He Lan doesn't need to take any risk for the rough stone he bet on (after all, he won't bet on it).

Moreover, Chu Xiao always felt that something was wrong.

So far, it is exactly the same as the plot of the game. In the game, his identity is the reincarnation of the main god. It is completely understandable that the fighter among the adventurers will be recruited by He Lan, but now, he is just an unknown person in the dungeon. The little guy is just lucky enough to gamble on a rare red jadeite. Can He Lan fall in love with him just because of this?

What made Chu Xiao even more strange was that He Lan's posture was too low, so low that he felt unnatural.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Chu Xiao still wants to try again.

"It is necessary for the people of the He family in Wangcheng to find a little guy like me? You can pick any top stone gambler, right?" Chu Xiao said.

"There is a reason for this." He Lan closed her fan with a mysterious look.

Chu Xiao nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"I plan to leave the family and work alone." He Lan whispered.

"...Oh." Chu Xiao said indifferently.

He already knew about this plot.

He also knew that leaving the family was just a tactful way of saying that He Lan simply wanted to go against the He family.

In the game, He Lan's side mission is called "Excellent Trouble". After being able to swallow the family business, he successfully became the heir of the He family, the largest mobile vault in the kingdom.

"Little brother, did you agree?" He Lan said very cheekily, as if he didn't hear the indifference in Chu Xiao's tone at all.

"You have left the family, so what's the benefit of agreeing to you?" Chu Xiao pretended to be puzzled and said.

"The benefits, I can't guarantee anything else, but..." He Lan raised her lips, blinked her dark left eye mischievously: "When you return to the royal city, I would like to wish you a helping hand."

Well, the title has been changed, it seems that his identity has been investigated beforehand.

Chu Xiao was a little strange. Since He Lan already knew who he was, it meant that he didn't just notice him today.

Uh, could it be that He Lan was present when the lot of hibiscus seeds were opened yesterday?

"You know me?" Chu Xiao said.

"Of course, His Royal Highness the future." He Lan said very calmly.

Chu Xiao gasped.

His identity was suddenly revealed, and it was still the identity of "Future", which made him break out in a cold sweat.

This is a plot that is not in the game.

Chu Xiao didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth. He glanced over and saw He Lan leisurely shaking his fan, not in a hurry at all. Incomparable.

When he was in the game, Chu Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with He Lan's settings. It wasn't until now when he was really stared at by those eyes that he felt a creepy feeling that didn't exist in the game.

As expected of a youkai that even the family fears...

"The old man has long given up on me, do you think he will pass on the position of prince to me?" Chu Xiao asked.

The so-called prince, of course, refers to the identity of the original owner's father, but a down-and-out nobleman is a down-and-out nobleman, and the prince is also down-and-out. The previous generation of emperors had dozens of sons, and the prince's territory is not enough, and the original owner's father is not favored. The one with nothing but a title.

Even if it is the only remaining title, if it develops normally, it is absolutely impossible for the original owner's father to pass it on to the original owner.

The premise is, if it is still the original owner.

When Chu Xiao first took over the identity of the original owner, he decided to take back everything that belonged to the original owner. One was for the smooth development of the main plot in the future, and the other was to satisfy the original owner's last wish before he took over.

It's okay to think about it in my heart, but now that someone pointed it out directly, Chu Xiao really feels a little uncomfortable.

"Well, the secret must not be leaked." He Lan smiled inscrutably: "In short, I believe that you will need my strength in the future. This piece of 500 million level [-] jade is just like me making friends with you." ?”

Chu Xiao rolled his eyes.

This kind of juncture is a secret, and it is still mysterious.

If you don't say it, don't say it, he doesn't care at all.

Because he had already guessed it.

Chu Xiao is a person who doesn't jump into the plot, he just didn't understand it for a while, but he remembered it after a little recollection.

The key point is He Lan's left eye.

His left eye was injured when he was a child, and he was almost blind. However, through that almost blind eye, He Lan could see the "destiny" of everyone.

To put it bluntly, the reason why He Lan lowered his status to win over Chu Xiao, a down-and-out nobleman, was because he saw luck that ordinary people didn't have.

Gambling with stones is only secondary. He Lanneng is sure that Chu Xiao will become a great big shot, which is why he is eager to seek cooperation.

Chu Xiao sighed.

Although there is always an uncomfortable feeling of being played in the palm of his hand, no matter what angle he looks at, he has to make friends with He Lan.

The only thing that makes Chu Xiao feel a little bit interesting is that even though his identity has changed now, he is still going to the same branch ending.

"Fine, I promise you, but it's settled, I won't sign the agreement." Chu Xiao said.

[Didi, the friend system has been unlocked. ]

[Didi, you have a new friend application, is it approved? ]

Huh?

Due to the presence of He Lan, a fine person, Chu Xiao couldn't make any strange moves, but his heart was already itching unbearably, so after a few casual words, he left with an excuse.

After getting the 500 million moonstone card and asking He Lan to help him send the bean-planted jade directly home, Chu Xiao left the luxury of money and went to the mine while clicking on his system.

Sure enough, the friend system that has been grayed out can be clicked. After entering, a friend request automatically popped up.

[He Lan requests to add you as a friend, do you agree? ]

agree.

The panel changed, and He Lan's avatar appeared at the top of the panel. Click on the avatar, and a half heart symbolizing favorability popped up, with the words Encounter by chance.

It's exactly the same as in the game. This is a friend panel dedicated to NPCs. There is another friend panel between players, which is not in Chu Xiao's system.

Chu Xiao stroked his chin in a thoughtful state.

Strange, why did you suddenly unlock the friend panel, because He Lan is an NPC?

But, if it's true, not to mention Jing Lin, isn't the mine owner and the seller also NPCs in the game? Could the system automatically recognize that they didn't really make friends with him, so they wouldn't be unlocked?

Is it so smart?

Chu Xiao didn't quite believe it.

In the next second, Chu Xiao suddenly realized a very important thing, which made him forget about how to unlock the favorability panel in an instant.

Wait, if those gray panels are unlockable...

With a swipe of his finger, Chu Xiao pulled the panel to the end.

His eyes were fixed on the "marriage panel" and could not move for a long time.

Does this mean that there is still hope for the violin props he stored in the Marriage Warehouse to see the sun again?
