Doomsday: This NPC is too fierce

Chapter 249 The mission assigned by Old Man Xu (two in one)

"It happened a long time ago, I've long forgotten it."

Old Man Xu looked melancholy and sighed, "Xiaodong, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. You must not let down everyone's expectations of you."

heavy responsibility?

Tang Xiaodong was a little confused. From Old Man Xu's words, he actually heard the urge to save the earth. This made him a little confused and didn't know what to complain about.

Is it possible...

This experience pagoda is an unlucky thing. Whoever uses it will be unlucky?

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaodong's fiery heart suddenly cooled down a lot, and he didn't know whether he should build it or not.

"Uncle Xu, you don't have to play riddles with me anymore. Just tell me directly, what is this so-called burden?"

Tang Xiaodong simply stopped holding it in and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Save all mankind."

"What an international joke!"

Tang Xiaodong couldn't hold back on the spot and said in disbelief, "With my half-assed strength, I can barely protect myself. Even protecting this home is a problem. You ask me to save all mankind. This joke is not funny..."

"You have to believe in yourself, you can do it."

Old Man Xu had a serious expression and a solemn tone, "When you build the experience tower, you will be qualified to know these things."

Uh.

Only then did Tang Xiaodong become convinced that the Experience Pagoda was indeed a hot potato. At this moment, he regretted extremely why he had brought this blueprint back. It would be better to become the savior now.

He originally wanted to have the ability to save his life in this apocalyptic world, marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life. This wish is not too difficult, right?
But who knows,
Fate played a big joke on him!

Everyone is selfish, and so is he.

He doesn't have the ability to be a savior, nor does he want to be one. There are many capable people in the world, so he, a weak NPC, shouldn't think about such unrealistic things.

"Uncle Xu, if you tell me this, I don't dare to touch this thing anymore. It's better to build this building drawing after a while."

Tang Xiaodong made a plan not to build an experience pagoda anymore, so that he would not be under such heavy pressure.

"Bullshit!"

Old Man Xu's expression changed on the spot, and he scolded sternly, "Do you think you can be alone without the experience of the pagoda? Ever since you built the ancient phantom formation and obtained the Ten Ghost Chain, you have already shouldered this cause and effect to stop evil spirits. You cannot escape the heavy responsibility of the invasion by the clan and the ghost clan!"

"Ah this?"

Tang Xiaodong was completely stunned.

Infusing a large amount of zombie blood, the ancient phantom formation would open up the world of evil spirits. He knew this, but he did not expect that the ten ghost chain would involve the invasion of the ghost clan.

According to what Old Man Xu meant, the Ten Ghost Chain should be a treasure-level prop of the clan, otherwise it would not trigger an invasion of the ghost clan. But, is this possible?

Tang Xiaodong really wanted to say, "Fool, keep fooling!"
"Xiaodong, no matter what, you can't escape this responsibility. The sooner you build the experience tower, the higher your level will be and the pressure on your shoulders will be reduced."

Old Man Xu slowed down his tone and persuaded, "In this apocalyptic world, strength determines everything. If you want to protect this family, without strength, you will eventually be defeated by the enemy. No one can escape."

"..."

Tang Xiaodong fell silent.

Yes.

Without strength, no one can protect him, and even marrying a wife and having children is all a delusion!

Seeing the change in Tang Xiaodong's expression, Old Man Xu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Xiaodong, do you want to know Hu Yue's true identity?"

"Huh? You know what?"

Tang Xiaodong suddenly became interested. He would be lying if he said he was not curious about this mysterious female neighbor. He had wanted to know her identity for a long time. A character from a big city would actually come to a small county town to become his The neighbor is really a little weird, and it can't be justified in terms of emotion and reason.

"Of course, as long as you build the experience tower, I will tell you her identity. Don't be too surprised when the time comes."

Old Man Xu followed Tang Xiaodong's curiosity and looked like he was convinced.

Prescribing the right medicine is the best solution.

really.

Tang Xiaodong took to heart what Mr. Xu said and became even more curious.

Lao Hu's identity would surprise him. What's so surprising about this?
Wasn't it because her husband was a high official? He had already guessed it. Even if he was a high official, he wouldn't be surprised.

He looked down upon this kind of man at all. He abandoned his wife and children and was not worthy of being a good husband!

If the big horse monkey takes advantage of him again, he will be cuckolded!

"Uncle Xu, I also want to build an experience pagoda, but unfortunately I don't have the materials, and no one has the construction skills. I am really powerless."

Instigated by Old Man Xu, Tang Xiaodong once again thought of building an experience pagoda. In any case, he should first find out the identity of Old Hu and then consider the issue of the savior.

Since you can't avoid it, you have to learn to face it.

"I have all the materials and have prepared them a long time ago. All that's missing is these drawings."

To Tang Xiaodong's surprise, Old Man Xu had anticipated this and had prepared materials for him early. This made him feel very strange. Old Man Xu in front of him actually had the ability to predict the unknown?

"Uncle Xu, how do you know that I will get the drawings of this experience tower?"

Tang Xiaodong couldn't bear it and asked immediately. If he was allowed to hold it in his stomach, he would definitely get sick.

"This is what is destined. What is yours is yours."

Old man Xu stroked the beard on his chin and said some non-nutritious nonsense.

have to.

Tang Xiaodong has already seen that there is no difference between Old Man Xu and Old Hu. It is useless to ask about things that he does not want to talk about, and he cannot give a useful answer.

"Then...who will build it? You've already found a good candidate, right?"

Tang Xiaodong is already numb. Even if Old Man Xu invites people out, he will not be surprised. As for the reason, he will not explain.

"There really is one. There is a craftsman living in PD City. This man is addicted to alcohol."

Having said this, Old Man Xu hesitated for a moment, then took out a wine gourd, handed it to Tang Xiaodong, and explained, "The aged wine in this gourd is enough to impress him."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Tang Xiaodong immediately agreed, took the wine gourd, and was ready to leave now for PD City.

"Wait a moment."

Old Man Xu handed over a letter, "When you arrive in PD City, first go to Baogu Lane to visit a person for me. His name is Chai Tu. You don't need to say anything, just mention my name."

"it is good."

Tang Xiaodong didn't think it was a big deal. He was going to PD City anyway. This was not a bad task. It was just a letter delivery task. It wasn't difficult at all, so he did it easily.

"This kind of thing cannot be known to outsiders, not even your friends. Chai Tu doesn't like crowds of people. If you offend Chai Tu, I can't help you."

Old Man Xu reminded again, this time his tone became very serious, with a hint of warning. "I understand, this is a single-person mission, okay, then I'll go alone."

Tang Xiaodong took over the task. At this point in the plot, he couldn't accept it even if he wanted to. After all, he really wanted to know Lao Hu's true identity.

After finally getting this opportunity, how could he miss it? He wanted to see who Lao Hu was and lift her mysterious veil!

It would be better if she could know the status of her husband. This would also tell Ma Dasheng and ask him to be careful not to cause death because of a woman.

"Take Hu Yue with you, she can help you."

Old Man Xu hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"Uncle Xu, didn't you say you won't let outsiders go?"

Tang Xiaodong asked in surprise. He had just said that he would not allow outsiders to do the task, not even friends, but he had just asked him to take Hu Yue with him. What was this?
It’s a pure contradiction!

"Hu Yue is not an outsider."

After Old Man Xu finished speaking, he added, "She knows Chai Tu. With her here, you can save a lot of trouble."

"Is it……"

Seeing that Old Man Xu had said this, Tang Xiaodong couldn't say anything else, but it was not easy to explain to the big horse monkey, which was really troublesome.

It's hard not to think wrongly when you take your brother's crush on a mission!

Even Tang Xiaodong, a person involved in the Qing Dynasty's self-Qing Dynasty, felt it was inappropriate, let alone Da Mahou.

He was a little entangled in this regard, fearing that it would cause unnecessary trouble. If Da Mahou misunderstood, it was really hard for him to explain, so he had to ask Old Man Xu to come forward.

Tang Xiaodong told Old Man Xu everything about his concerns, hoping that he would come forward to solve the problem.

"You mean, Ma Dasheng has a crush on Hu Yue?"

Old man Xu looked at Tang Xiaodong with a strange expression, and there was something in his words.

"Yeah, this is what I'm struggling with. If I call Lao Hu out to do a task alone, he will definitely misunderstand me, and maybe he won't even be a friend anymore."

Tang Xiaodong said tangledly, he really didn't want to lose Dama Hou as his brother.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon."

"Habit?"

Tang Xiaodong couldn't understand the meaning of Old Man Xu's words and felt very strange.

"You will know in the future. Now let me, a bad old man, be a villain for once. I'm sure that boy Ma Dasheng won't take anything wrong with me."

After Old Man Xu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Ma Dasheng.

At this time, Ma Dasheng was concentrating on feeding the maggots, looking forward to seeing them turn into cocoons and turn into butterflies, er, no, maggots into flies.

As long as maggots can turn into flies, they can be as majestic as Tang Xiaodong!

Old Man Xu went over and had a word with Ma Dasheng. How could Ma Dasheng think about anything else? As long as it didn't affect him in cultivating pets, anything would be fine.

In his mind, the importance of raising pets has firmly surpassed Hu Yue. It is not a big deal for Tang Xiaodong to go out alone with Hu Yue!
Only then did Tang Xiaodong realize that he was thinking too much.

then.

He entered the demon spirit space alone and talked to Hu Yue about the matter.

"Teacher Xu asked you to find Chai Tu?"

Hu Yue glanced at Tang Xiaodong in surprise, "It's a bit early to go look for him now."

"Why do you say that?"

Tang Xiaodong had already heard it. Old Hu definitely knew something, otherwise he wouldn't have said this. He felt as if he had entered a conspiracy against him. Both Old Man Xu and Old Hu were here to target him. of.

But he, the protagonist of the mission, didn't know anything. This feeling was really frustrating.

"With your current strength, it's a bit difficult to meet Chai Tu."

Hu Yue did not hide anything this time, and told everything she knew, "He has ten guards under him, and each one is very strong. It will be difficult for you to defeat them now."

"Why do you have to defeat?"

Tang Xiaodong took out the letter, "I'm here to deliver the letter, not to fight and kill, so it's okay to use Uncle Xu's name?"

"It's okay not to mention Teacher Xu. If you mention him, this fight will be inevitable."

Hu Yue said softly, "Teacher Xu and Tutu Chai are sworn enemies. No one can dislike the other. This letter is purely a trigger, that's all."

"what?"

Tang Xiaodong was dumbfounded.

He was quite happy at first. He picked up a mission for nothing and might even get a mission reward. But he didn't expect that this mission turned out to be a big trap, and it was the kind of trap that would kill people without paying for it. He really wanted to ask Old Man Xu, what happened? What's the intention!
"That's not going."

After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Xiaodong decided to give up the task. He knew himself well and would not seek abuse just because of a task. There was no need at all.

"No, not only do you want to go, but you must go."

Hu Yue said word by word, "Chai Tu has what you need, Linglong Pearl!"

"Linglong Pearl?"

Tang Xiaodong heard this name for the first time and asked curiously, "What kind of treasure is this? What properties does it have?"

Since it was the treasure he needed, he couldn't help but not to pay attention to it. Instead, he wanted to see how powerful the attributes of this Linglong Pearl were, which made Lao Hu say that he had to go.

This made Tang Xiaodong curious and expectant, waiting for Hu Yue to continue.

"This exquisite bead can allow the experience pagoda to advance to the next level and improve the efficiency of converting experience."

"understood."

Tang Xiaodong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Old Man Xu would write a letter to his rival, purely because of himself. This moved him very much. As Old Hu said, he had no reason to refuse and had to go.

"If you want to go, I can go with you now, but you have to be prepared to be rejected."

Hu Yue was afraid of hurting Tang Xiaodong's self-esteem, so she spoke in a soft voice, "You don't have to worry too much. As long as I help you, there is still a certain possibility of success."

"..."

Tang Xiaodong was silent for a moment, then made a decision immediately, took Hu Yue back to the yard, found a domestic car and drove away.

During the whole process, no one was alarmed. Everyone was concentrating on cultivating the maggots, which is called seriousness.

……

"Xiaodong."

In the passenger seat, Hu Yue held her chin with her right hand, looked at the dilapidated scene outside the window, and asked softly, "Did Teacher Xu say something to you?"

"Well, you and Chai Tu are familiar with each other, and taking you there can reduce the difficulty of the task, that's all."

Tang Xiaodong still hasn't told Hu Yue anything. After the experience pagoda is built, the answer to Hu Yue's mysterious identity will be revealed.

He wanted to see what kind of identity Lao Hu was, something that would surprise him!
