Let's talk about Young Master Ji Bu. He took a crash course in Wulin knowledge for a forenoon in Murong Ying's room and got known about most of common sense in this script. Then he thanked her and went back to their room.
The Cloud Fairy Murong Ying was surprisingly good to communicate and everything went a little suspiciously. Even Ji Bu himself began to wonder… Am I really gifted to be a sweetback?
Actually, he thinks too much… In the arrangement of the system, this NPC is a character who gives players basic information about common senses. As long as the player can see that she is similar to "Mr. Knowing all" and asks her for help, she will not refuse.
From the setting of this martial arts world, Murong’s behaviour is also reasonable. First of all, herself is very interested in this Shack, and at the same time, she appreciates Feng’s aggressive and independent weird talking style. Secondly, the Murong family is not a school of initiation, so there is always some hostility to the disciples like Wanxia House. But they are good with Jianghu chivalrous person or a small place like Breaking Sword Tea Shack.
Moreover, as Feng Bujue had said before, the question asked by Ji Bu was no “secret” at all, but only common senses to other people. Miss. Murong had just been free without any objection to the Breaking Sword Tea Shack, so she has no reason to refuse.
After all, Common sense means that you can ask anyone in the street, such as "where is the north", "what’s the date today", etc. It’s not appropriate to just stare at a stranger constantly asking these questions.
With an attitude of seeking advice, Ji Bu first indicated that he knew almost nothing about the world and then asked a professional of the Murong family about these common senses, which was not inappropriate.
In fact, in the Canglin Hotel, there are many NPCs that can be used for the player. Such as the drunken monk Lu Shan, the master of the three factions, even Ji Tong from Bafang House, and six swordsmen of Ye Family. As long as players go to the dialogue, they can get some information for sure.
However, the plot of Murong Ying is supposed to be the simplest and safest choice. If the player asked for information from her, the information will be more detailed and comprehensive. Talking to other NPCs might lead to a chain reaction that shall trigger some plot twists that make it harder to get through.
In addition, there is a hidden branch line is very difficult. Which is to go to the mysterious keeper of Canglin Hotel to ask for information, thus triggering a hidden mission. Of course… Young Master Ji Bu did not trigger the plot, which is kind of a lucky thing.
………… When Ji Bu returned to his room, the sun had already sunk to the west, and none of his teammates came back. He had heard the system message and saw all the changes in the main quest and branch quest of the menu taskbar, so he was prepared for the result.
But still, he could not help pacing up and down restlessly in the room, muttering, “Said that you will come back at this time… Who are you kidding!”
Tok, Tok——someone was knocking the door.
Ji Bu’s face changed. He knew that the four from Hell’s Frontline didn’t seem to be knocking guys. So, it must be an outsider at this time.
“Who is it?" He asked tentatively, the voice was not high not low and the tone was neither servile nor overbearing.
“Oh, it's just your food, Sir.” The man outside answered.
Ji Bu went to the door, unbolted it and opened it slowly. It was really a waiter in the inn, with a wooden tray in his hand and some food and wine in it.
“Who let you do this?" Ji Bu asked in alarm, he did not remember asking about this, and his first thought was: Perhaps, that Lin Chang had arranged it? Did he even know that we had no money?
“It is a guest named Gongsun Li.” The waiter returned: “Oh, he also let me take a message to Lord Feng, are you… “The guys in the hotel were really honest people. They don’t know anything about the Jianghu, and what they do is just send a message.
“Tell me, and I’ll tell him.” Ji Bu heard the name of Gongsun Li and he immediately doubted: Last night it should be this guy who brakes the body, now he made such a thing, which is apparently not a good thing…….. The waiter put the food and drink on the table and said, “He said… "Thanks for the cooperation of Lord Feng, I hope that Lord Feng can keep the ‘secret’ all the time. These dishes, as I made amends for the previous things."
“That’s all? “Asked Ji Bu.
“Yes, that's all. I spoke what he said before.” The waiter returned.
“Well… All right, you could go out first.” Ji Bu said.
“Yes.” The waiter nodded then left the guest room and closed the door conveniently.
Ji Bu went forward, opened the door again, and looked around with his head out to make sure that there's no suspicious person was looking. Then he closed the door, fastened the latch, and went to the table again.
There were three dishes, a small plate and a jug of wine on the table. Not much, it could be delivered on a tray, so the waiter was able to knock on the door.
The three dishes were a stir-fried fresh vegetable and two meat dishes that can be found in normally. Small dishes were filled with ordinary peanuts, but the wine seemed to be good. The wine was in a rather expensive white jade bottle, with a hint of fragrance coming out of the bottle.
Young Master Ji Bu's father was a businessman. There are many business parties, so he always brought his wife and children to some occasions. Although Ji Bu was not interested in wine, he could tell the quality of approximately. He knew that it must be good wine and that it might be worth 10 dishes in the real world. But now it was just placed with some normal dishes, which is absolutely strange.
“Well… “Ji Bu opened the bottle mouth and took a closer look:” The simulation of the game is really vivid, this kind of goods should be estimated as ‘luxury data’ in the game store, and it will certainly not be cheap.” He said to himself as he put the bottle down again. "Is it so obvious a trap, and they didn't feel shameless on doing that?” He snorted. “If there’s no poison in these dishes and wine, I’ll eat SH*T right now!”
