I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

432 A Sudden Trick

‘Finally…Is it safe…’

Hiding in a cave, Jiang Beiran panted heavily.

It had been a long time since he had felt so close to death.

Moving from the lakeside to the cave, he had used up the system option seven times. In addition to the ones that had been triggered, the system option had been triggered a total of 15 times today, which was close to the number of times Jiang Beiran had set a safe time limit.

In other words, if he triggered the option a few more times, it was very likely that it would cause the system to go on strike tomorrow. In a country like the Qi Kingdom that was filled with danger, without the help of the system, he was very confident that he would be torn into pieces by the Heavenly Dao tomorrow.

“Ha… Ha…” Jiang Beiran took two more deep breaths before he finally calmed down.

In the beginning, he could still feel the happiness of the past by taking a few steps to trigger the option. However, this happiness had now become a huge worry, or even pressure.

Jiang Beiran didn’t think that he had let down his guard, but that he had never expected the situation to turn out this way.

Originally, he wanted to farm a wave of attribute points here before going back. Now, he had completely given up on this plan. After all, the frequency of the system triggering was too high, and he did not have a safe house. He was completely naked and alone.

“Is this the price of entering a high-level map in advance…”

On the other side, Lin Yuyan had already started a fire and secretly glanced at her senior brother who was standing not far away.

Although her senior brother’s performance was no different from usual, Lin Yuyan still faintly felt that her senior brother seemed to have something on his mind, and this feeling had never appeared on her senior brother before.

‘It seems to have caused a lot of trouble for Senior Brother…’

For a moment, Lin Yuyan began to blame herself. However, just as she was about to say something, she heard her senior brother say,

“If it’s like we agreed, you have three days to understand the various major powers in the Qi Empire. You must answer all questions.”

Remembering that she could still help her senior brother, Lin Yuyan immediately stood up as if she had been injected with chicken blood. I will definitely complete the task that Shixiong gave me.”

“Alright, I’ll return here in three days.”

“Yes, sir!”

Lin Yuyan immediately ran out of the cave.

Watching Lin Yuyan run away, Jiang Beiran sat in front of the bonfire. He had sent Lin Yuyan away not only because he needed her to gather intelligence, but also to confirm whether she, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, had anything to do with the Qi Nation’s crisis. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Fɪre.net

After a good night’s sleep, Jiang Beiran slowly walked out of the cave. He took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

” I was too busy yesterday and didn’t pay attention. Now that I’ve relaxed, I feel that the Qi Kingdom is indeed one of the countries closest to the Central Plains. Even in places without spirit veins, the abundance of spirit qi is comparable to some sects in the Sheng Kingdom.’

After a night’s rest, Jiang Beiran’s anxiety of having only 1% battery left on his phone had disappeared. What he needed to do now was to test whether Lin Yuyan was the reason why the options had been triggered so frequently yesterday.

Jiang Beiran took out a map to confirm his location, then walked towards the place that Lin Yuyan had described.

One step…Two steps…Three steps…

With cautious steps, Jiang Beiran slowly walked out of the dense forest.

‘As expected, the biggest mistake yesterday was to act together with Lin Yu Yan.’

Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the system did not make any changes.

Then, Jiang Beiran took off his MiRan.

In the Sheng Country, the ability to conceal one’s aura was very useful, and wearing it could naturally avoid a lot of trouble. However, in the Qi Country, where there were many capable people, it was a bit of a waste of money.”,Instead, it would easily attract trouble.

After putting away the Miran, Jiang Beiran strode forward.

Two hours later, Jiang Beiran sat in a small tavern and ordered a pot of apricot wine, a plate of pig’s head meat, and a plate of peanuts.

From the dense forest to this small town, although the system’s lane selection frequency was not as high as yesterday, it had already jumped out ten times in an hour. It could be considered to be on the edge of danger.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Beiran began to wonder if he should change his plans.

At first, Jiang Beiran had thought that he could handle the matter himself. However, it was obvious that he had gotten off on the wrong foot. He had not even started to take action, and he was already being restricted.

There are really many strange troubles hidden in this main mission…Did the Heavenly Dao strengthen its targeting?’

“Sir, the apricot wine, peanuts, and pig’s head meat that you wanted are all here. Enjoy.”

Nodding at the waiter, Jiang Beiran picked up the flagon and poured himself a glass.

He threw a peanut into his mouth and took another sip from his wine glass.

“Yes… The taste was a little bland, but it was not bad.”

Picking up another piece of pork head meat and putting it into his mouth, Jiang Beiran continued to consider how he should change his plan.

“Hahaha, what a beautiful little lady. What’s the point of being with such a pretty boy? Do you want to have a drink with me?”

At this moment, a fierce-looking local ruffian suddenly walked over from Jiang Beiran’s neighboring table. He looked at the young couple at the table and laughed.

The young man dressed like a scholar immediately panicked and said in fear,”You… Who are you? In broad daylight, do you want to…”

“Go to hell!” The local ruffian slapped the young man’s face and knocked him to the ground.” What are you talking about? Who allowed you to talk to Grandpa?””
