Dark Night of Inheritance

After going online, Xiao Jingge received an email from Qingcheng, first accusing him in a complaining tone of not contacting his friends after returning to China, and then saying a bunch of nonsense like "everything is going well on the trip" and "work is going well", In the end, Sima Zhao's heart was revealed... "You went abroad for half a year and took care of the house in a humane way; now that you are back, can you lend me someone for a few days?"

Xiao Jingge looked at the email and smiled, and casually replied, "Please discuss with the housekeeper about family and internal affairs", and then sent it directly, and shut down the email system.

After dealing with the mail, he opened the friend list without any hassle, unexpectedly Kyuubi was also online.So I sent a message to ask what the other party was doing, but I didn't get a reply after waiting for a while.Xiao Jingge couldn't help frowning, but he didn't send any more messages. Instead, he opened the task panel to carefully study the task of sending letters that he and Jiuwei had accepted together, and then walked towards Xihe's inner city.

In fact, Xiao Jingge is not sure that the "imperial city" mentioned in the mission is Xihe, but compared to those player cities that have been upgraded from towns, the main city Xihe, which has a magnificent momentum from the beginning, does have the demeanor of an imperial city , except that there is no emperor in this city.

Xiao Jingge went around the inner city, and asked all the NPCs in the city (including NPCs who changed jobs) one by one, but he couldn't find any clues related to the imperial city, let alone the NPC who received the letter.But when he turned to the top of the inner city, he found Nine Tails staring into the distance in a daze.

Kyuubi was sitting on the top of the wall, not in a daze, but directly logged onto the official forum from the game to read posts.

The contents of the recent popular posts are all about the upcoming inheritance competition. In addition to introducing the rules and time of the competition as usual, they also focus on introducing several key contestants of this competition.The contestants' introductions in the player posts are more detailed than the official ones. In addition to the contestants' professional level and family power, some even posted screenshots of characters and equipment, which were obviously done by family insiders.

Although it is not the first time that the battle for inheritance has been held, Kyuubi still carefully looked at the introductions of the key contestants and made comparisons in his heart... Most of the contestants this time are old acquaintances, However, there are also several newcomers from each family, among which the Sun Never Sets family has the largest number of participants, accounting for almost [-]% of all participants.

Jiuwei sneered in his heart, haven't these people given up yet, he wants to see which one can persevere until the end this time...

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt someone sitting beside him, and then a slightly muffled call came from his ear. "Nine Tails, what's wrong?"

When Nine Tails came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Jingge looking at him, not only was there no trace of a smile in his usual smiling eyes, on the contrary, there was a bit of complicated emotion.Kyuubi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, the first reaction in his mind was to reach out and touch the mask on his face, and then follow Xiao Jingge's gaze to look at himself who seemed a little pale because of clenching... "Hehe, it's nothing ..." Knowing that he was obviously trying to cover up what he said, Kyuubi's laughter was a bit dry.

"Could it be that you are not feeling well? If you are not feeling well, go offline and rest earlier." Xiao Jingge didn't ask what Jiuwei was hiding, which made Jiuwei feel a lot easier.

"I'm fine, I was just reading the forum just now." Kyuubi smiled, took out a teapot and tea bowl from the package, and poured a cup for both of them.

This is good in the game. You don’t have to worry about the expiry date when you bring wine, meat and tea, and the wine is cold, the dishes are hot, and the tea is just the right temperature.

"Does Nine Tails also pay attention to the battle?" Xiao Jingge took the teacup and didn't drink it, but put it on his nose and gently sniffed the warm tea.

"Yes." Ninetails nodded.

"But Nine-Tails has no family, so he can't compete?" Xiao Jingge continued to ask.

"Yes." Kyuubi drank tea.

Xiao Jingge looked at the bustling night scene of Xihe City decorated with various lights for a long time, and suddenly said: "Jiuwei, I roughly know who you are, but..." Then, the word "but" dragged on for a long time.

Kyuubi was originally waiting for Xiao Jingge to speak, but Xiao Jingge's voice fell silent after saying "but", so he couldn't help asking: "But what? Could it be 'but not fully sure'?" He smiled lightly as he spoke. One sound.

Looking at him, Xiao Jingge's eyes became a little complicated again, but he didn't speak. Instead, he brought the teacup in his hand to his mouth, and took a sip until the slightly bitter tea returned to sweetness in his throat. Only then said slowly: "Indeed, but I'm not fully sure."

Seeing his appearance like this, Jiuwei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you are not sure, anyway, you still have a long time to think about it."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingge shook his head and said: "There is no time. If my prediction is correct, I only have 5 days at most to think about it. From now until the end of this battle." After finishing speaking, he deeply He took a deep look at Kyuubi, and then showed a helpless and sly smile and said: "Kyuubi, you really gave me a big problem... Unfortunately, I don't want to give up this bet now, because I really don't want to give up. Some people are interested to know why you calculate so much?"

"It seems that I really did not find the wrong person..." Nine tails said this sentence with emotion, quite a bit of expected and unexpected sigh. "Only these two days of contact, I found that you are more powerful than what humanity said."

"Nine Tails, what you say can easily cause me to misunderstand, thinking that the two of you have some kind of conspiracy." Xiao Jingge raised his eyebrows, and his tone became a little weird. "It's not that you arranged for me to meet you, right?"

"How is that possible?" Jiuwei suddenly rolled his eyes at him, the smiling fox face with a big white eye, how weird it looked. "Originally, I was planning to negotiate a deal with Humanity first, but who knew that Kid Siyu brought you to the chamber of commerce, I just changed the plan temporarily..."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Jingge said with a smile, "I thought I had already been sold by you."

Both of them laughed, and then the topic subconsciously turned to finding the quest NPC.Xiao Jingge said that he had searched around the inner city of Xihe without any results, and Jiuwei said that there may be two reasons for this: one is that the so-called imperial city does not refer to the main city of Xihe; the other is the mission NPCs are not resident NPCs, and there may be time restrictions or venue restrictions.

"Don't worry about this task for the time being, I will go offline today to check the information." Nine tails said after pondering for a moment.If you really can't find any information, just trouble O7, who gave this task to him?

"Alright," Xiao Jingge nodded.Although he has never been very keen on doing tasks, he has also heard that although such weird tasks have high experience and rewards, but because of the difficulty, it often takes several months or even half a year to complete one, so He is not in a hurry.

After chatting for a while, the topic was lighter this time, and the two of them were talking about family matters.
