My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 240 Old Winemaker

Looking at the game text, Jiang Xinghuo began to murmur in his heart.

According to the blessed ones, the mysterious peddler walking in the secular world, Big Buddy, may have arrived in the City of Joy God by now.

However, the map of Xishen City is so large that it is still unknown whether I can find the other party.

And according to the description in the game text, even if you find that big guy, you may not be able to make a deal with him. It all depends on whether you have enough fate.

Maybe the other party has already passed by you, but the corresponding interaction option has not been triggered.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and stopped thinking about those trivial things. Instead, he continued playing his game today.

"Where do you choose to go next?"

There were quite a few map options listed below, some of which he had already explored and some of which he had never been to.

Jiang Xinghuo looked carefully and chose the old winemaker's wine shop. He came to Xishen City this time to complete the follow-up task of the winemaking secrets.

As for whether you can find the mysterious peddler, it all depends on your luck.

"You chose to go to the old wine shop."

"You traveled through the streets and alleys of Xishen City and soon arrived at the old wine shop."

"This shop is located deep in the alley. It is rarely visited on weekdays. Only when the wine is opened, the wine lovers in Xishen City will be attracted by the rich aroma of wine."

"But since the ancestral secret of brewing was lost, the old winemaker has become worse and worse. Not only has he become lost, but he is also absent-minded when brewing. The taste of the wine is not as good as before, and many old customers have stopped coming."

"When you arrived at the wine shop, the old winemaker was lying there in a daze, mumbling something to himself. I don't know what he was saying."

"I saw you walk in from outside, and I just waved my hand and nonchalantly told you to help yourself. It's up to you to order as much wine as you want, and you can just pay for it."

"You scoop up a jar of wine and pour it into your mouth, and you will feel that the wine is extremely spicy and has an endless aftertaste, as if it is burning on fire."

"But you keenly felt that after drinking the wine, your spiritual power was slightly improved."

"Your spiritual power has been slightly improved."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo became more determined in his thoughts.

The wine brewed by this old winemaker is definitely not that simple. Even the defective products have this quality. If I send back the heirloom he has always dreamed of, I might be able to get wine of higher quality.

Of course, these defective products cannot be let go.

"You used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to collect all the large wine jars placed in the hall into your magic bag."

"Seeing your actions, the old wine man's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He didn't expect you to be so greedy and take away all the wine."

"But it doesn't want to bother with you right now. The liquor store is going to close down anyway, so if you don't take it, it will go down the drain."

"The old winemaker saw that you had moved all the wine in the shop, and he impatiently told you to get out of here and stop bothering him."

"What are your plans next?"

"Will you choose to return the ancient book of winemaking secrets to the old winemaker? Or will you choose to escape with all the wine and secrets?"

It is impossible to leave. Throwing away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds is not something a smart person would do.

What's more, he has already made a copy of the only copy of the wine-making secret, so he can look up the information anytime he wants.

However, most of the raw materials needed for brewing wine can only be found in the folk world.

"You chose to return the winemaking secret to the old winemaker." "You came to the old winemaker and shook the only copy of the winemaking secret in front of him."

"The old winemaker opened his eyes and saw the unique book in your hand. He was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and snatched the winemaking secret into his own hands."

"You have fulfilled the private investigator's last wish."

"The old winemaker looked at the lost and recovered ancestral secret book in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears. He was extremely grateful to you in his heart."

"If it doesn't find the lost secret of winemaking during its lifetime, it really doesn't know how it will face its ancestors after its death."

"Now that you have found the lost secret for it, the old winemaker decided to give you something to express his gratitude."

"Do you want to accept the reward from the old wine man?"

Of course Jiang Xinghuo had no reason to refuse. He had been waiting for this opportunity for so long.

But just when he was about to accept it, new game text suddenly popped up.

"You triggered it, private investigator's notes."

"You found some clues in the private detective's notes. The old winemaker has loved listening to storytellers since he was a child, and he has always respected those chivalrous and courageous people."

"Therefore, your next choice will also affect the development of the subsequent plot. It is best to make your own choice carefully."

"How are you going to deal with the old wine man's reward?"

“1. I am loyal to the trust of others. I am just fulfilling the last wish of my friend before his death. There is no need to thank me.”

"2. It is better to obey than to be respectful. It would be disrespectful to refuse."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the pop-up game text. Two completely different answers determined different plot developments in the future.

If you choose the first one, you may get something unexpectedly good, or you may get nothing.

If you choose the second option, you will get a guaranteed reward no matter whether the situation is good or bad.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and made a decision, choosing the first answer.

The worst result is to return empty-handed, making a wasted trip and getting nothing. But as long as you can get something, it will be considered a profit.

"You told the old winemaker that you were only here to make up for your friend's regrets. Now that the property has been returned to its original owner, you have accomplished your mission."

"After hearing what you said, the old winemaker admired your character very much. He turned and went into the back room and took out a mahogany box."

"The wine inside is all made from it. It not only satisfies our appetite, but also has various magical effects."

"Now, these drinks are all yours."

"You have received the gift from the old winemaker."

"You opened the wooden box and counted them one by one. You found a jar of Shenhunzui, a jar of Zhuyeqing, a jar of Kaoliangjiu, a jar of Yuhuichun, a jar of Kunlunniang, a jar of Ningyueshuang, and a jar of Xianrenzui."

Seeing the game text on the phone, Jiang Xinghuo was delighted, it seemed that he was right.

As long as you speak in accordance with the old winemaker's wishes, you will get unexpectedly rich rewards.

I just don't know what effects these drinks have.
