The wife of the online game suddenly became real
Chapter 40 Negotiation
"It won't last long, it's almost a week."
"The building is about to collapse, who would care about their children's love?"
Chu Xiao was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand how the topic went astray.
But he thought about it again, He Lan hadn't shown up for such a long time, and today he suddenly came to Honey, probably the original purpose was to talk about this matter.
"What do you want to say?" Chu Xiao changed his sitting position.
"Literally, I'm afraid something will happen." He Lan's expression became serious.
"What happened?" Chu Xiao asked.
He Lan said two heavy words lightly and deftly:
"war."
Chu Xiao put down the teaspoon in his hand, and the metal handle of the spoon hit the edge of the teacup, making a nice crisp sound.
Across a glass window, the street is full of people and people, very lively, today's honey is still overcrowded, customers are lining up to chat and gossip about the store manager, a scene of enthusiasm.
"This matter is really not suitable for talking here, the coffee has become bitter."
"Then change the place?" He Lan said.
"...Forget it, I'm too lazy to move, let's talk here."
Chu Xiao sighed. It would be fine if He Lan only stayed at the guessing level, but this guy already knows what will happen in the future.
Keen sense of smell, terrifying intuition, and absolute self-confidence.
It's really chilling down the spine.
"It seems that Young Master Chu has also noticed the change of the demons?"
"Let's not talk about me first, how did you find out that the demons have something wrong with the dungeon?"
Compared to He Lan's reservations, Chu Xiao directly pierced through the layer of window paper when he came up, and put the matter clearly in front of the two of them.
"Oh, it's really a hero who sees the same thing." He Lan said with a smile: "During this period of time, I have met many dignified people in the dungeon, but unfortunately I haven't met anyone who agrees with my point of view."
"If you go up and say it so bluntly, of course no one will believe you. You have to show evidence... Hey, stop screaming." Chu Xiao called Micah, who had started meowing excitedly after hearing the word Mozu, Le picked it up, and pressed it on his leg twice: "Even I can't just listen to your words, as for the evidence, I'll listen to it when I tell it. Just the fact that the gate of the demon world is not closed is not counted. "
He Lan nodded, and then slowly said: "At first, I just noticed that the casualties of the adventurer team collecting medicinal materials were getting higher and higher. I thought it was due to the influence of the gate of the demon world, and the monsters in the forest turned violent. Unexpectedly, during a drug collection, an adventurer discovered something not very interesting."
"What is it?"
"Traces left by the army."
"Different from the human army?"
"That's right, that special code does not belong to any knight order on the mainland." He Lan started to shake his fan again: "Then, I hired more teams..."
"Hey wait a minute, I suddenly remembered one thing, the adventurer's association's mission to explore the outer reaches of the Dark Night Forest with unlimited levels and unlimited times, wouldn't it be you who released it?"
"It's me, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
It turns out that the first novice village mission in the game was released by He Lan.
Knowing a strange fact at this juncture, Chu Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Just recently, that kind of code has spread to the edge of the forest. I am afraid that the army of the demons has completely figured out the situation around the forest in the dark night."
"So you think the demons are coming?"
"I'm just making the best guesses based on the facts."
"Your speculation is convincing, but I have a question. Are you talking about the premise that the gate of the demon world will not be closed again?" Chu Xiao smiled: "Even you can't be sure about the gate of the demon world." The door really won't close again, what if it closes tomorrow?"
"Haha, indeed, this is also the reason why those high-ranking officials and nobles don't believe me. After all, in history, the gate of the demon world will disappear by itself every time. Once the gate of the demon world disappears, the invasion of the demon race is pure nonsense."
"Even now, I still have no conclusive evidence to prove that the gate of the devil world will not be closed. I can only hope that Master Chu..." He Lan paused for a moment, with some cunning in his strange eyes: "It's someone who is willing to believe anecdotes."
"Speak straight."
"I can see some things that ordinary people can't see." He Lan pointed to his gray left eye: "For example, a person's luck and wealth."
Chu Xiao was a little surprised.
Although he knew about it a long time ago, for He Lan, this matter can be regarded as his biggest hole card, so it seems a bit exaggerated to say it like that.
However, Chu Xiao is actually very interested in He Lan's eye. He didn't dare to talk nonsense when the other party didn't mention it before, but now that He Lan blew his hole card, he no longer has any scruples.
Chu Xiao, who was very interested in this topic, sat up straight and got closer, speculating brightly: "Oh, so your 'God's Left Eye' has seen the long-standing luck of the gate of the demon world? Eh, that's not right, Under the influence of demon energy, human beings can't go deep into the center of the night forest, right?"
The matter in the Dark Night Forest is not so absolute. If you have money, you can turn ghosts around. If you have sufficient financial resources, under the protection of a large number of magicians, knights and clergy, it is definitely possible to break into the Dark Night Forest. But no matter what, The Dark Night Forest is a place with a very low safety factor, Chu Xiao doesn't think He Lan would take such a big risk just to get a glimpse of the Demon Realm's Gate.
"..."
He Lan didn't expect Chu Xiao's thoughts to be so divergent. For a while, he didn't know how to answer the words tactfully. After hesitating for a few seconds, he explained with an embarrassed smile: "It's not like that. The luck of the object, even if it is me, is not Way to see."
"Oh, so what did you see?"
"That's right." He Lan also sat up straight, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "Recently, I have noticed that more and more people in the dungeon seem to be dying."
Chu Xiao: "..."
A basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, washing away all his excitement and curiosity.
Chu Xiao couldn't quite understand how He Lan said such terrifying words in such a normal tone.
Seriously, compared to the demons, this guy is the biggest nightmare in human history.
"But if possible, I hope Master Chu can believe me this time. I'm [-]% sure that the demons will definitely invade the dungeon!" He Lan's tone was filled with unbearable excitement.
"No, you..." Chu Xiao took a deep breath, "Why do I think there is something wrong with your attitude... Why did you come to see me today?"
Originally, Chu Xiao thought that He Lan's purpose was to make him run away earlier, but the more he thought about it now, the more wrong he became.
First of all, He Lan is not so kind. Secondly, this person did not show any nervousness from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, he looked as if he was looking forward to the invasion of the demons.
"I'm a businessman, so I'm here to discuss business with Young Master Chu." He Lan raised the corners of his lips, "Actually, it's not impossible for this matter to be taken care of by money lovers, but the sale of the medicine made Chu feel that Young Master Chu is compassionate and merciful. I am quite touched by my heart..."
"speak English."
"This is the map of Wangcheng." He Lan took out a piece of paper from his arms, put it on the table, pointed to the place marked with a red pen, and explained calmly: "If there is a war, the demons must go straight from the night forest The dungeon, no matter whether the king city is fighting or not, once the dungeon falls, there will be a large number of refugees flocking to the king city, and they have to deal with the demon army and resettle the refugees. The resources of the king city are bound to be stretched. Will not refuse."
"If I'm not wrong, here—" He Lan clicked the huge red circle on the map twice: "This is the place where the refugees are temporarily settled in the Wangcheng, and the army will also enter and leave the Wangcheng through this location. This area belongs to the Wangcheng. In the outer suburbs, the surrounding area is full of poor people's residences, and there are few orthodox hospitals. If we move in early and prepare supplies, we will surely save many lives."
Chu Xiao: "Let me be honest, don't be upset, I don't think you seem to be the one who would do such a thing."
"Of course I won't do business that loses money." He Lan admitted her plan openly: "Luxurious and wealthy people have already had enough influence in the dungeon, and they have been suffering from being unable to expand their business to the royal city...you also You know, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the He family has been an imperial merchant for so many years, so it is more than enough to deal with me, a lone ranger."
Chu Xiao rolled his eyes.
Why is the He family dead but not stiff? If He Lan didn't make trouble, the He family would not only not die, but would live better and better.
"So you want to make a name for yourself with this matter, well, the idea is very good, I think it will work."
I didn't feel much when I was playing the game, but now it seems that He Lan is the biggest beneficiary of the demon world invasion incident.
"Haha, what Master Chu said really boosted my confidence."
"Since you've planned so carefully, why are you looking for me?"
"Oh, I thought Master Chu already understood my purpose. Master Chu's pure heart is really admirable." He Lan smiled: "Aside from ordinary supplies, the most needed thing for war is naturally medicine, especially It is the kind that only Master Chu can make, a special S-level potion."
Wait here!
Chu Xiao finally came to a sudden realization.
After He Lan helped him sell the potion for the first time, because there was really no place to store it at home, even though he was a little reluctant, Chu Xiao still threw all the potion he made into the wasteland like a trash, He Lan On the surface, he didn't say much, but the inland people must have discovered the fact that he can only make special S-level potions.
Later, Chu Xiao also went to find out. Compared with the common D to B grade medicines on the market, the efficacy of special S grade medicines is ten to one hundred times that of ordinary medicines. Although low-level special S grade medicines are impossible Play the role of intermediate potions, but compared with potions of the same level, a knife wound that can only be cured by drinking ten bottles of A-grade potions can be cured by only one bottle of special S-grade potions. There is no risk of demonization at all. Special S grade potions are priceless in Wangcheng.
"According to my original thought, this matter can also stabilize Young Master Chu's position in the royal city, but now it seems that you may not need those external things." He Lan blinked: "If that's the case, apart from Apart from the huge profits, I have nothing else to offer Master Chu."
"Just talking, you were sure I would agree to you a long time ago, right?" Chu Xiao complained.
"How could it be? Young Master Chu can decide for himself."
"It's nothing to promise you. I originally planned to return to the royal city during this period of time." Chu Xiao held down the howling Michael, and asked the last question: "I'm just a little curious. If you do subsidies, you still have to keep paying back the money throughout the war, right?"
"Master Chu, don't worry about the funds. We have been in business for so many years, and the business on the surface is enough to support the supplies of the refugees. Besides, it has reached this juncture. Even if I 'accidentally' reveal something that should not be disclosed, as long as there is With the support of the common people, the Chamber of Commerce will never take action against me."
"Well, I understand what you mean, I just want to say... Are you so sure we will win?"
Chu Xiao continued with a calm expression: "You don't know the fighting power of the demons. The knights in the royal city should just do that. What if they lose? Isn't everything you do meaningless?"
Rao is such a kind and hateful person like He Lan, who couldn't help being stunned for a few seconds when he heard such a question. He covered his mouth with a folding fan and tried his best to conceal his surprise. His pair of different pupils were in doubt. After a long while, he looked at Chu Xiao. eyes, and said word by word:
"Compared with foreigners, He is still more willing to trust humans."
The author has something to say: Leaving, leaving failed...
(Never admit that it is my water)
And I think the next chapter can be written (Escape.jpg)
"The building is about to collapse, who would care about their children's love?"

"This matter is really not suitable for talking here, the coffee has become bitter."
"Then change the place?" He Lan said.
"...Forget it, I'm too lazy to move, let's talk here."
Chu Xiao sighed. It would be fine if He Lan only stayed at the guessing level, but this guy already knows what will happen in the future.
Keen sense of smell, terrifying intuition, and absolute self-confidence.
It's really chilling down the spine.

"If you go up and say it so bluntly, of course no one will believe you. You have to show evidence... Hey, stop screaming." Chu Xiao called Micah, who had started meowing excitedly after hearing the word Mozu, Le picked it up, and pressed it on his leg twice: "Even I can't just listen to your words, as for the evidence, I'll listen to it when I tell it. Just the fact that the gate of the demon world is not closed is not counted. "
