Cataclysm King - #80 - Chapter 80: Reminiscing with Miss Ball Head
Chapter 80 Reminiscing with Miss Marukotou
The City of Innocence is huge, and Ji Xun never expected such a coincidence that he would run into his few acquaintances at the Windmill Hotel.
Hearing people greet each other proactively, he couldn’t pretend not to know each other, and said, “Miss Nan Jing?”
Nan Jing saw that he had identified the right person, and couldn’t hide his surprise, and said, “Ah, it’s really Mr. Ji Xun. I wasn’t sure just now.”
There is no friendship that is more memorable than experiencing life and death together.
This psychic lady has a deep memory of her savior.
Ji Xun also asked curiously: “Miss Nan Jing, why are you here?”
Glancing at her two companions, there is no old friend Chu Jiu.
Although he guessed that the three of them would most likely go to the [Greedy Mine] different-dimensional space in the windmill hotel, he was also a little curious, why did they go?
Nan Jing responded without thinking: “Ah, we saw the recruitment at the Hunter’s Guild, so we are going.”
But before she finished speaking, the black knight man who was traveling with her interrupted sharply: “Xiao Nan!”
This is obviously a reminder.
Probably want to say, don’t talk too much with strangers.
“.”
Ji Xun also heard the guard in the words, and frowned.
He knew Nan Jing and had a foundation of trust.
But her two companions were very wary.
Ji Xun didn’t care.
He knew that the origins of Chujiu and Nanjing were very sensitive.
Then these two are her companions, so naturally they came from the same place.
The ranger huntress cleverly turned the doubt into a temptation, and asked, “Xiao Nan, who is this?”
Nan Jing excitedly wanted to introduce: “A Yao, this is Mr. Ji Xun, he is.”
But when the words came to her lips, she seemed to think of something, but she didn’t know how to introduce it.
They met in the labyrinth of the Great Cemetery, but that extra-dimensional space is related to the death of Governor Cao Sihai, and the assassination of Chu Jiu, this cannot be said nonsense.
But without explaining, it seems wrong.
And her awkward demeanor, in the eyes of the two companions, was even more out of place.
Both of them knew that Nan Jing was simple and kind-hearted, and could be easily deceived.
Ji Xun looked at Nan Jing’s bitter look, and knew that her head would be burnt dry and she didn’t know how to explain this relationship, so she took the initiative to relieve the siege and said, “I had a relationship with Miss Nan Jing once.”
When Nan Jing heard this, he felt amnesty and said, “Yes. Mr. Ji Xun is my friend.”
As she spoke, she didn’t struggle with Ji Xun’s identity, but introduced instead: “These two are my partners, A Yao and Mo Feng.”
Nam Kyung introduced the two.
But obviously her two companions are not very willing to be introduced to strangers by their names.
Ji Xun didn’t care at all.
It seems that the people in the mysterious place behind the ninth day of the ninth day are wary of strangers.
When I met Nan Jing for the first time in the labyrinth of the Great Cemetery, this lady psychic had the same attitude of being wary of everyone.
Ji Xun nodded politely, and said directly: “Miss Nan Jing, I’m going back to my room first.”
He didn’t have the idea of prying into other people’s privacy, nor did he want to know what happened to the two of them.
As he spoke, he turned his head and left.
“咚”, “咚”, “咚”.
The only sound in the empty hotel lobby is the sound of boots trampling on the wooden stairs.
This behavior seems a bit arrogant to others.
Nan Jing’s two partners frowned.
The psychic lady also felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and quickly explained: “A Yao, don’t mind Mo Feng, Mr. Ji Xun is actually a very nice person.”
Can there be good people in Innocence City?
Both of them looked at the past with solemn eyes.
A Yao asked in a cautious tone: “Xiao Nan, what is the background of that person?”
Their identities are too sensitive after all, so they must be careful everywhere.
ha?
Nan Jing was asked this question, and his mind turned rapidly again, “I am him.”
But after thinking about it for a long time, she also realized that she had no idea what Ji Xun did.
And I can’t say how I met him.
She really couldn’t answer these two questions at all.
Nan Jing’s eyes dodged, and then he smiled awkwardly: “Ah, Mr. Ji Xun is a lone hunter.”
Some people can tell a lie at a glance.
Especially a pair like Nam Kyung who grew up together.
This answer made the two companions feel very bad.
Mo Feng’s expression was not very good, he said: “Xiao Nan, people in Innocence City, you’d better be more cautious.”
A Yao also said earnestly: “Yes, don’t trust a stranger too easily, for fear that the other party has some other plans.”
Nan Jing understood the strange look in his companion’s eyes, and knew that she had misunderstood her, but he couldn’t explain it, so he could only turn around and say, “Oh, please don’t ask. Anyway, Mr. Ji Xun is really nice. He saved my life.”
The matter that happened on the ninth day of the ninth day was very sensitive. She didn’t know how to explain it for the time being, so she could only talk about business, saying: “And he is very powerful. This time I should also go to [Greedy Mine]. With him, even if it is a challenge more The higher the difficulty, the greater the probability of customs clearance.”
Listening to “saved my life”, the expressions of A Yao and the two eased a little, and the eyes looked thoughtful.
It’s not that they are completely ignorant of the ninth day of junior high school, they have vaguely guessed something.
But this topic is really inconvenient to mention.
He didn’t ask any more questions.
Hearing Nan Jing say that this person is very powerful, A Yao also asked: “Is that person a card master? What occupation sequence?”
If you are a master, going to the space of [Greedy Mine] is really helpful.
Nan Jing thought about it, and said: “No. It seems to be a card master apprentice.”
The two companions were speechless.
How powerful can a card master apprentice be?
A Yao’s expression was not very good, and she asked again: “What occupational sequence is that person?”
Nan Jing was very embarrassed when asked: “I don’t know.”
It was only then that she realized that besides knowing that the puzzle solver was very good at solving puzzles, she didn’t even know what career sequence he took.
It seems that from the beginning to the end, he has never seen him fight.
A Yao shook her head and said, “Forget it. Let’s go to bed early too. We have to get up early tomorrow.”
The three of them didn’t speak, and went upstairs with tactical backpacks on their backs.
Ji Xun heard the sound of footsteps, and Nan Jing and the three seemed to be in the two rooms next to him.
He didn’t bother, while practicing the breathing method cross-legged on the bed, he was also distracted reading various card master classics at the same time.
He knew nothing about the conversation downstairs, and he didn’t want to know.
Ji Xun now only feels that his time is simply not enough, and there are too many things to learn.
I also hope that [Greedy Mine] can produce some skill cards, which can save a lot of time for practicing martial arts.
Unconsciously, time flies, it is several hours.
Ji Xun was completely immersed in practice and study.
I don’t know when.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk came a knock on the door.
A soft voice outside the door asked: “Mr. Ji Xun, have you rested yet?”
Ji Xun heard the knock on the door, and then his thoughts turned back.
Hearing it was Nan Jing, he got out of bed and opened the door.
Outside the door, the psychic lady was holding a pot of tea, bowed slightly, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry to disturb you. I happened to make some fruit tea, and I brought it because I thought that Mr. Ji Xun was not asleep. a little.”
Ji Xun smiled and greeted: “Miss Nan Jing is too polite, please come in.”
Nan Jing looked up and was slightly taken aback.
She was a little surprised, and said, “Hey, this is the first time I saw Mr. Ji Xun not wearing a gas mask.”
As she spoke, the ball-headed lady blinked her big watery eyes, and took another sneaky glance.
“Ah”
Ji Xun smiled, but didn’t notice that he wasn’t wearing a mask.
Before, it seemed that the maze of the Great Cemetery had been wearing a gas mask all the time.
But it doesn’t matter.
This is not a stranger.
Inviting Nan Jing into the room, he closed the door.
This psychic lady is not wearing a gas mask, she still has a cute ball head, and there are shallow dimples on her cheeks when she smiles.
It’s pretty good-looking, and it’s also eye-catching.
Ji Xun had seen her real face before, and was not too surprised.
It seemed that because they were not wearing hunter equipment or a cloak to cover them up, the sense of separation between the two disappeared instantly.
Nan Jing was wearing a very common female deer hunting suit, a brown tight top and elastic combat trousers.
Others wearing this kind of hunter clothes are still a little loose, but the psychic lady’s plumpness is just right, but she is very slim.
The lines are graceful, and the unique youthful atmosphere of girls and the beauty of exquisite figure are also displayed.
Ji Xun couldn’t help but glance at it out of the corner of his eye, but quickly restrained himself.
Nan Jing put the teacup on the table, poured it over, and said, “Sorry, Mr. Ji Xun, my companion didn’t mean anything malicious. Before.”
Ji Xun smiled and shook his head, why would he care about this.
Ji Xun asked directly: “Miss Nan Jing, why are you here? Are you also going to [Greedy Mine]?”
“Um.”
With no one else around, Nan Jing responded directly.
She said with a serious expression: “We are looking for a potion formula to treat a special plague. I have seen it in ancient books before, but it has been lost. So we have been looking for clues in the Hunter Guild to see if there are certain ancient ruins. I recently heard that [Greedy Mine] has some ancient witch potion formulas in the different dimension space, so I want to try it.”
“oh.”
It turned out to be for the medicine formula.
Ji Xun listened and didn’t bother to ask.
Thinking the group behind her had some kind of plague.
The expression is still so serious, the plague is also very serious.
Although this is an extraordinary world, disease and plague are still fatal threats that cannot be completely solved for human beings.
Nan Jing also asked: “Mr. Ji Xun, how about you?”
Ji Xun said casually: “I’m going to find some materials. I heard that there are skill cards in that space, so I want to try my luck.”
“Wow, what a coincidence.”
Nan Jing also thought it was a coincidence.
The city of innocence is so big, and the hunter union has so many missions, yet it happened in a small hotel.
She poured the tea and brought it over, “Mr. Ji Xun, please drink tea.”
Ji Xun finished his teacup, and was not used to being so polite, “Just call me by my name. You don’t have to be so polite.”
Nan Jing let out an ooh, blinked and said, “You can also call me by my name, or Xiao Nan. Everyone calls me that.”
Ji Xun nodded: “Yes.”
He found that Miss Ballhead was very defensive when she didn’t know her, but after building a foundation of trust, her personality was still very cheerful.
The two are not strangers, but they are not particularly familiar either.
After two sentences, it seems that the topic is finished.
The atmosphere in the room was slightly awkward.
At this time, Nan Jing looked at the open books on the bed and asked in surprise, “Mr. Ji Xun is still reading at such a late hour?”
You know, in the city of innocence, very few hunters would choose to waste their time reading books.
The hunters risk their lives to explore the cave, and every time they survive is like a gift of fate.
In my free time, I can’t get enough of being drunk and dreaming in Fengyue Tavern, so I don’t have time to read any idle books.
After speaking, she thought of something and patted her head: “Oh, I almost forgot. You already know the ancient language of Tarun. With such profound knowledge, you must read a lot of books.”
Ji Xun smiled and didn’t explain.
Nan Jing said, seeming to have something to ask, turned his crystal eyes, and said: “Mr. Ji Xun, what occupation sequence are you?”
As she spoke, she also felt that the direct question seemed to be too abrupt, so she quickly added: “That… I mean. We are all going to [Greedy Mine]. We can take care of each other. One of my partners is one A black knight of the first rank, and a ranger of the ninth rank of Katu, although not as powerful as sister Chu Ninth, but not bad.”
She didn’t have the nerve to say that she didn’t answer this question before, and she was looked at strangely by her companion.
Clearly said they were friends, but in the end they didn’t even know the other party’s occupation.
Ji Xun was also amused by her cramped expression, and responded: “It’s roughly close combat. Well, it’s a gunner now? And you know, you know a little bit about solving puzzles.”
Nan Jing: “Oh.”
Gunner is not a professional sequence, many people use guns.
Listening to this, she also realized that it would be impolite to inquire about privacy, so she tactfully didn’t ask further.
Ji Xun knew that this was misleading, so he didn’t explain much.
He didn’t deliberately want to hide it, but he really didn’t know what to say.
One person has one person’s tactics, and the team has the benefits of the team.
Since they are going to the same different-dimensional space, Ji Xun also thinks that Nan Jing, a psychic and doctor teammate, is also very good, and his abilities complement each other.
Especially challenging difficult plots.
Ji Xun also took the initiative: “If we explore the different-dimensional space together, it will be much easier to take care of each other. At that time, Miss Nanjing may be troubled.”
“Um!”
Nan Jing heard Ji Xun’s invitation to form a team, and there was a little melancholy on her pretty face just now, but it disappeared immediately, and asked again: “What difficulty is Mr. Ji Xun planning to test?”
She didn’t hide her purpose, and said directly: “Actually, what I want to say is that although I don’t know whether the witch potion in that space is what we want, but the formula that can solve that plague must be of a high level. It may be possible to challenge the difficulty of B-level or higher to have a chance. But as far as I know, the death rate of [Greedy Mine] B-level difficulty exceeds 50%”
This death rate, many hunters who are out for money, not for gambling to get rich, will hardly consider it.
Enter C-level and D-level easy difficulty, and enter a few more times, and the rewards are also good.
As she said that, she secretly glanced at Ji Xun’s expression, seeing that his face was still expressionless, and she was also very disturbed.
“Um.”
Ji Xun sounded perfectly normal.
The material he wants is at least silver, so in the end he will choose a difficulty level above B.
But he also said very conservatively: “At that time, go to the easy difficulty to see the situation. I should also challenge the B-level difficulty later.”
Nan Jing couldn’t hide his excitement and said, “That would be great!”
Obviously only met once, she herself doesn’t know why she thinks that Ji Xun will help her a lot.
After finishing the business, I suddenly thought of something.
Suddenly, a sad look appeared in Nan Jing’s eyes, and he asked again: “That Mr. Ji Xun, there is one more thing.”
Ji Xun took a sip of tea, turned his head and glanced: “Huh?”
Nan Jing couldn’t hide his worry, and asked, “I want to ask, have you met Sister Chu Jiu recently?”
When Ji Xun heard this question, he tilted his head and asked with a straight face: “Didn’t you be with you on the ninth day?”
Isn’t the ninth day of the ninth day with you guys, you come to ask me?
But then he also guessed what might have happened to his old friend.
Nan Jing shook his head.
She didn’t get the news, her expression darkened, and she said: “After I came out of the cemetery, I found Miss Chu Jiu. She was not assassinated. But she was in a very bad condition. She disappeared later. We are also very worried. I Thought she might come to you.”
“.”
Ji Xun heard that Chu Jiu did not meet the assassin, and his expression was slightly different.
The old friend is not dead, which is good news.
But why do you think she will come to me?
Ji Xun thought to himself that although the two had friendship, they only met twice.
Oh, almost forgot.
Being backstabbed by her family, she was afraid that she would have nowhere to go.
What should be chatted has already been chatted, and the night is already late.
Nan Jing didn’t intend to stay longer either.
At this time, Ji Xun suddenly thought of something, and asked, “By the way, Miss Nanjing, do you have any medical-related classics?”
He needs a lot of medical knowledge to learn that 【Cell Vitality Ebullition】.
Although I found some in the storage ring of “Plague Doctor” Hessen before, most of those were poison-related classics, and there were some second-level advanced medical books, which were very difficult to read.
Now I happened to meet this lady psychic, and Ji Xun also knew that she was a good doctor, so he asked.
Nan Jing was obviously surprised when he heard it, but he also said enthusiastically, “Ah yes.”
As she spoke, she took out a few books from the storage ring without asking, and asked curiously, “Mr. Ji Xun, do you want to take the path of healing?”
Ji Xun was noncommittal, and said with a smile: “I’ve been studying some spells recently, and I need to know some medical knowledge.”
As he spoke, he looked at the large books and asked, “Can I borrow these books? I’ll return them to you in a few days.”
Nan Jing happily smiled and said, “Of course.”
As she spoke, she seemed to feel that she could help a little, and was very happy, and said: “These are just for me to take with me. I still have a lot at home. If you need it, I will bring it to you next time.”
After all, the large cemetery has been taken care of before, and it will always feel better if I can help a little.
Ji Xundao: “Yes! Thank you. Let’s talk about it after reading these.”
Whether you understand it or not, first use your photographic memory to write it down, so that you can digest it slowly later.
But after thinking about it, he felt that what Nan Jing said just now was very strange.
Do you have many more at home?
What does Miss Psychic do at home?
Few families in Innocence City have a large collection of medical classics.
Moreover, the books in front of me are hardcover and hand-painted. They are probably hundreds of years old antiques.
It was older than the set of “Kard Master Encyclopedia” he bought.
Ji Xun thought of this, and suddenly laughed.
This ball-headed lady is really defenseless, even if it’s just a few books, it can reveal a lot of information.
Nan Jing didn’t know why he was laughing, but it was really late, and it would be impolite to stay any longer.
She cleaned up the teapot and said, “Mr. Ji Xun, I’ll go back to rest first. See you tomorrow.”
Ji Xun nodded: “Yes.”
As soon as the door was closed, all thoughts were already on the book.
He is in the daily state of practice and study again today.
