Chapter 105: Showdown
April 5 is the traditional Chinese festival Qingming Festival.
After breakfast, Ouyang Shuo took Bing'er to the cemetery to sweep the graves of his relatives. To his surprise, his aunt Lin Jing made a rare special trip back to Jiaozhou from the magic capital this year to sweep the graves of her grandparents. The night before my aunt left Jiaozhou, the two had a more in-depth conversation in the hotel room where she lived.
"Xiao Shuo, you still won't tell me your ID in the game?" Lin Jing asked angrily.
Ouyang Shuo's face was embarrassed, and his aunt obviously wanted to have a showdown with him. After the last system auction, Ouyang Shuo found that he had become more and more confident. In particular, the establishment of the Shanhai Alliance made his power in the game more and more stable.
Looking at the relative in front of him, Ouyang Shuo had a complicated expression, sighed, and finally chose to believe her, and said solemnly: "Auntie, I can tell you my ID in the game. But you have to promise me that you can't tell anyone again, including your partner Xie Siyun. ”
"Can't even tell Siyun?"
"That's right!"
"What's the matter, it's mysterious." Auntie was a little angry.
Ouyang Shuo had to be cautious and said again: "Auntie, I need a clear answer from you. ”
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, feeling Ouyang Shuo's determination, before she reined in her emotions and said, "Okay, I promise you that I will never reveal your game ID to anyone, including Siyun." Can you tell me now? Xiao Shuo, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, see how I clean you up. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded, he still knew his aunt's character. Like his deceased mother, he has inherited his grandmother's good qualities, and he will never regret what he promised others.
"You've heard of the man who is called Wuyi, right?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Then for sure, who doesn't know him, the first lord of China. Why, you are working under him? Auntie asked curiously.
Ouyang Shuo coughed and said calmly: "I just have no clothes." ”
"What?" The aunt stood up in surprise and said in disbelief: "What do you say, you say that you are just undressed?" It's not April Fool's Day, don't lie to me. ”
Regarding his aunt's reaction, Ouyang Shuo had expected it, and still said calmly: "Do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you in this matter?" ”
Lin Jing looked at this nephew in disbelief, like looking at a little monster, and seeing that Ouyang Shuo was still calm, she muttered: "No wonder, no wonder you are reluctant to tell me your ID, I see." Oh my God, what a freak this is! ”
Ouyang Shuo's face was embarrassed, and he was really helpless about this big little aunt, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, I'm your own nephew, do you say this?" ”
"Hard, isn't it? The outside world is speculating about which mysterious family Wuyi is descending from, and where did he think that it was actually a civilian boy like you. "Auntie is still a little excited.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?" ”
Lin Jing was stunned again, glanced at Ouyang Shuo seriously, and said rarely: "Yes, it seems that Auntie did underestimate you before." Xiao Shuo, it is no accident that you have been able to achieve such results. ”
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he asked instead, "Auntie, you called me to enter this game before, but what insider information do you know?" ”
Lin Jing was really distracted by Ouyang Shuo's question and explained, "Not bad. Siyun and I have both participated in the closed beta of this game, according to Siyun's speculation, this game should be very unusual, there are too many unreasonable or abnormal places, and it is by no means as simple as a game. As a result, the studio decisively ended the other games and threw itself into the game. ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded, admiring Xie Siyun's decisiveness. Xie Siyun was able to make a correct judgment based on her own consciousness when the information was incomplete, and she really deserved to be the head of the second largest mercenary group in China.
"For this game, I also learned about it by accident. Don't dare to say anything else, at least your choice is correct. In addition, I would like to remind you that isn't it time to open a currency exchange platform? If your studio isn't short of money, try not to sell the gold coins you've been able to get your hands on. Ouyang Shuo reminded euphemistically.
Lin Jing looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Why?" Isn't the purpose of our studio's game playing games to make money by selling in-game currency? Xiao Shuo, you can achieve such results in the game, do you still know any inside story, hurry up and tell my aunt. ”
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "What I can say, I have already finished speaking." It's up to your studio to decide whether to listen to the advice of the party or not. As for the rest of the news, auntie, don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask. In this world, there is no impermeable wall. If you don't pay attention, you risk losing the whole game. For the sake of safety, it is better for us to have less contact in the future, whether in the game or in reality. Wait for the right time! ”
Lin Jing looked at Ouyang Shuo as if she were looking at a stranger. She couldn't imagine when a boy who used to be quite simple became so mature that he could say such things. She seemed to see Xie Siyun's figure on Ouyang Shuo's body.
"What do you mean by timing?" Lin Jing couldn't hold back in the end and asked curiously.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head again and said, "The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it. ”
Lin Jing was depressed, gave up her entanglement with Ouyang Shuo, and said helplessly: "Okay, since you are so persistent, you must have your own hardships, and my aunt will not force you." Knowing that you are so good at mixing in the game, my aunt is also relieved. As for your suggestion, I'll consider it when I go back. ”
"Thank you, Auntie, for your understanding." Ouyang Shuo said with relief.
"Okay, I can't stay in Jiaozhou for long, I will fly back to the magic capital early tomorrow morning. You should rest early, too! Auntie finally said.
"Okay, then auntie, you rest early, good night!" Ouyang Shuo got up and said goodbye.
"Good night!"
After leaving the hotel, Ouyang Shuo did not take a taxi home, but chose to walk back, anyway, the hotel is not far from the Tianyuan community. Walking on the busy street, looking at the colorful and prosperous night scene, Ouyang Shuo was thoughtful. After the showdown with his aunt, his heart suddenly became much more relaxed, as if a heavy shackle had been removed. Alone, guarding such a big secret, is really tiring.
During this time, the game was turbulent, and the reality was also unpeaceful.
The news of Song Wen's acquisition of the territory last time according to the method provided by Ouyang Shuo was first known by the Ruan Foundation, an ally of the Song Consortium. Nguyen Binh quickly followed this method and successfully acquired a third-level village. Next, the news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and quickly spread among the circles of medium-sized forces.
For a time, there was a wave of territory acquisitions in the game. Every day, there are so-called lucky people who become billionaires overnight, creating one myth after another of overnight riches. Among these people, there are naturally those who are not willing to be lonely and take the initiative to go to forums and even mainstream media to show off.
In this way, the news of the consortium's acquisition of the game territory at a high price was continuously exposed, pushing the game "Earth Online" to the forefront. The public is curious about what kind of magic this game has that allows these consortia to invest regardless of the cost.
The general public just watched the excitement, and at most there were those who were curious or ambitious, so as to join the game army. And those medium-sized forces and countless small forces that have not received inside information can't sit still, digging out the news and trying to know the truth behind the matter.
In a humane society like China, the whole society is a big net, and the relationship between forces is intertwined. With the intention of inquiry, these secret news could no longer be hidden, and spread to small forces in advance. In doing so, the wave of acquisitions in the game was further exacerbated.
Such a large-scale change finally aroused the vigilance of the people, and some people with a keen sense of smell questioned the federal government one after another, asking the government to come forward and give everyone an explanation.
At this point, the federal government can only speed up immigration preparations and do a good job of crisis public relations. As for the so-called statement, of course there is no such thing. The government has publicly stated that the acquisition of the game territory is completely a spontaneous business activity of enterprises, and the federal government will not interfere.
Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that he would inadvertently trigger such a chain reaction, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
When I got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Bing'er hadn't slept yet. The little girl has been wilting all day today, and she can't keep up her spirits at all. Only when I saw my aunt, I was a little happy. Ouyang Shuo knew that Bing'er, a child, was very thoughtful, and on a day like today, he must miss his parents.
After putting Bing'er to sleep, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and after Ouyang Shuo simply washed up, he hurried to log in to the game. The game is also the Qingming Festival, early in the morning, the Military Affairs Department has already represented Ouyang Shuo, the lord, to the cemetery to sweep the tombs of the fallen soldiers.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Dexian, the mayor of Lushui Town, sent someone to report, saying that when the town's medicine farmers went out to collect medicine, they found a large wild tea garden in the high mountains to the south. According to the medicine farmer's description, the back of the tea tree leaves is covered with Baihao, which should be the famous Baihao tea in Guangxi.
Ouyang Shuo's spirit was shocked, even if this Baihao tea is put in modern society, it is still very famous. At this moment, the tea plantation, the basic building of the third-level township, is located.
Such a tea tree itself needs to grow in the mountains, between the clouds and mist. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo did not consider transplanting anything, but directly instructed Zhao Dexian to personally bring professional tea farmers to investigate. If the situation is true, it is indeed Baihao tea, then the tea garden will be built directly in the mountains.
