Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 203 Cross-Regional Enforcement? Monsters Invade in Teams?
"Old Sun, Old Sun."

The group had barely sat down when a person emerged from the crowd on the street. Although the person was dressed in ordinary clothes, Old Sun recognized him at a glance.

The real Yanzu is an extraordinary constable from Wangyou County, a fifth-rank martial artist. However, he is not good at fighting, but he is skilled in investigation and has a strong ability to solve cases. He is the best case-solving expert in Wangyou County.

At his peak, he could solve three major cases in a single day.

He's so strong it's almost inhuman; he's practically a crime-solving machine.

If he remembers correctly, the real Daniel Wu should be on vacation.

What do you need him for?
"The real Daniel Wu? You want to see me?"

"Hey, Lao Sun, it's a bit too formal for you to call me by my full name. I've treated you to drinks and entertainment a few times, so just call me Yanzu."

The real Yanzu stepped forward, took a document from behind his back, and handed it to Lao Sun.

"Alright, alright, from now on I'll call you Yanzu."

"What is this?"

"Where did these documents come from? And what about the testimonies? Is this a new case?"

"Wait, this testimony isn't right. Anle County? This is the testimony of villagers from Anle County. Yanzu, did you pick up the wrong document?"

Old Sun flipped through the documents, but the more he looked, the more something felt off. The testimonies didn't seem right. The identities of the victims, the murderers, and the people who reported the case weren't from Wangyou County. To put it bluntly, this case wasn't a case handled by the Wangyou County government.

What left him speechless was that when he scrolled to the end, he saw the name of the person in charge.

The person in charge is Zhengpai Yanzu.

What the hell? You constables from Wangyou County went to Anle County next door to take on a case?

You still accepted it, is that right?
Is this your case? Then you should accept it.

"Ahem, Old Sun, you know me. You know I'm an upright person, and I can't tolerate injustice. As the saying goes, I'll draw my sword to help those in need. I'm a constable, you know. How can I pretend not to see injustice?"

"Definitely not."

"Since I'm able to wear this uniform, I must stand up for ordinary people, uphold justice for the weak, and fight crime."

As the real Daniel Wu spoke, his tone became increasingly loud and clear.

"You can only fool yourself with those polite words, don't fool your brother."

"Let me tell you, your case is not in accordance with the rules."

"It definitely won't pass the county magistrate's approval."

"You should just go somewhere cool and stay there."

You can only believe a few punctuation marks when the extraordinary constables say things; they only tell half the truth, and anyone who believes them is a fool.

"Old Sun, rules are rules, but people are flexible."

"Rules need to be flexible."

“Look at the testimony of the person who reported the crime, it’s so tragic.”

"The daughter was bullied to death, and the son was stopped and beaten to death by the servants on his way to report to the authorities."

“When he got home, his belongings were taken away, and both his legs were broken.”

"His wife hanged herself in despair."

"If we don't handle cases like this, where families are torn apart and lives are lost, is there any justice? Is there no law?"

The real Daniel Wu was very unhappy.

He admitted that he took the case for personal reasons, as it came with a reward, and a substantial one at that.

But in all fairness, could anyone with a modicum of justice stand idly by in the face of such a situation?
He couldn't anyway.

……

“If this happened in Wangyou County, I would arrest the person without you even having to tell me.”

"But this is a case in Anle County. We are constables from Wangyou County. Anle County and Wangyou County are at the same level. We have no right to interfere in other people's work on their territory."

“We are constables, not江湖侠客 (jianghu xiongke, martial arts heroes). 江湖侠客 can do whatever they want, but we can't. We must follow the rules, procedures, and laws when we do things.”

"You think this process is inflexible?"

“You’re confused. This process is essentially to protect ourselves. If we don’t follow the rules, then the gentry won’t follow the rules either, and we’ll be the ones who suffer.”

"Unless you have the power of a chief constable, you have to obediently follow the rules of the yamen."

Old Sun loudly rebuked the real Yanzu for his behavior.

Although this guy is an invincible superhuman, he'll suffer sooner or later if he continues like this.

Those gentry were ruthless.

None of them are easy to mess with.

"Yes."

"If the chief constable agrees, wouldn't this work?"

The real Yanzu didn't take Lao Sun's words to heart at all. Instead, Lao Sun reminded him of something: Chief Constable Lu Yuan. This case might not be able to proceed in the yamen, but Lu Yuan could.

As long as Lu Yuan nods, all those messy rules have to step aside.

"You guy."

"So you didn't listen to a single word I said?"

Old Sun was so angry he was speechless.

"Old Sun, I am an extraordinary person, what rules do I need to follow?"

"Aren't I afraid of retaliation?"

"If they dare to touch me, I'll come at them."

The real Daniel Wu doesn't care. He'll take revenge if he wants, even if it means dying.
Anyway, he'll be a hero again in an hour.

Besides, if the gentry dare to resort to underhanded tactics, why can't I call for reinforcements?
With a single arrow piercing the clouds, a thousand armies will come to meet me.

I'll kill you, you gentryman.

"You really are... sigh."

"It's hopeless."

Old Sun was speechless.

"Oh, Old Sun, let's not talk about that. You said you'd get the Chief Constable to handle it, is that feasible?"

"The real Daniel Wu asked curiously."

"If the chief constable is willing to take action, then of course it is fine."

"But the problem is, the chief constable won't agree to that."

"The chief constable is very disciplined; he won't bother with cases that don't involve Wangyou County."

Old Sun shook his head.

He claims to be following the rules, but he's really just lazy.

Lu Yuan didn't care about things outside Wangyou County.

Unless someone provokes him.

"Old Sun, do you have any ideas?"

"I believe in you. You must have a solution. You're the brains of our government office."

"Help."

"I'll treat you to a month's worth of drinks and entertainment, all-inclusive, including your overnight stays. How about it?"

The real Yanzu suddenly leaned close to Lao Sun's ear and gave Lao Sun a benefit that was hard for him to refuse.

I'll cover his drinking expenses for a month, and also cover his overnight expenses.

This.

Brother, it's hard for me to refuse you like this.

Old Sun took a deep breath.

"There are solutions."

"All you need to do is transfer the complainant's household registration to our Wangyou County."

“As long as the person who reports the case is from our Wangyou County, our Wangyou County government has the right to intervene.”

You know what I mean.

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Rules don't need to be changed; you just need to know how to be flexible."

Old Sun gave a reminder, and the real Yan Zu immediately understood what Old Sun meant.

"Hahaha, I get it, I get it."

"I'll do it right now."

"Old Sun, when you go out drinking and carousing, put it on my tab. Remember to put it on my tab."

After finishing his sentence, the real Yanzu hurriedly ran out of the city.

As for the documents in Lao Sun's hand, he casually folded and tore them up, then threw them into a trash can.

After the complainant's household registration is transferred, they need to file a new report and record their testimony again.

"Uncle Sun, won't this cause trouble for the government?"

"will not."

……

The Princess's Residence in the South of the City.

"Little sister, are you sure there are words on this jade book with a unicorn design?"

"Why can't I see the words?"

Ji Mengluo fiddled with the Qilin Jade Book she had exchanged with Chen Yiyi, curiously flipping through it. She tried every means possible, but couldn't find a single word on the Qilin Jade Book.

Could it be that the words on it are too small for her to see?

Ji Mengluo would naturally not admit that it was because he lacked understanding.

"Yes, there are lots and lots of words on it."

"Don't believe me? Let me read it to you." Chen Yiyi lay on a huge chocolate ball. The chocolate ball was so big that it didn't collapse even though Chen Yiyi was lying on it.

Chen Yiyi opened her mouth and bit down hard on the chocolate ball beneath her. With a crunch, she bit off a huge piece of chocolate, stuffed it into her mouth, and her cheeks bulged out.

"No need, no need, I trust my little sister."

Ji Menglu stopped Chen Yiyi. If Chen Yiyi were to actually recite it, her status as a princess would be completely ruined.

"Granny, do you have any martial arts manuals at home?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The old woman took out a secret manual from her bosom and handed it to Ji Mengluo.

Ji Mengluo opened the manual and, following Chen Yiyi's instructions, placed it on the Qilin Jade Book.

After a moment, the Qilin Jade Book remained still.

She didn't see the little figures that Chen Yiyi was talking about.

Ji Menglu changed positions.

There was still no response.

Could it be that the manual is not up to par?
Ji Menglu instructed the nanny to find a Heaven-level martial arts manual, which she placed on the table again, but to no avail.

"Never mind, never mind. It's just that my comprehension is not enough to meet the requirements of the Qilin Jade Book."

"Little sister, here you go."

Ji Menglu shook her head, abandoning her idea of ​​using the Qilin Jade Book to comprehend martial arts.

After all, she was not the chosen one recognized by the Qilin Jade Book, and she was not qualified to use the Qilin Jade Book.

In this era, only Lu Yuan and Chen Yiyi are capable of using the Qilin Jade Book.

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

Chen Yiyi got up, climbed off the chocolate ball, took the Qilin Jade Book handed to her by Ji Mengluo, and stuffed it into her clothes.

Chen Yiyi felt bad if Ji Menglu didn't glance at her more often.

After all, Ji Mengluo spent a lot of money to get her such a big chocolate ball, and she only looked at it a few times and then stopped looking at it. What a waste!

"No, no, no."

"By the way, little sister, should I send someone to deliver these chocolate balls to your house?"

Ji Menglu gave a reminder.

"No, no, please don't send it over. Yiyi's fifth sister will be angry. Fifth sister is a stingy person. She won't let Yiyi eat candy."

Chen Yiyi shook her head and declined Ji Mengluo's offer.

She should finish eating the chocolate balls at the princess's residence; they absolutely must not be sent back.

If you return it, the chocolate ball won't be hers anymore.

Fifth Sister wouldn't let her eat it, but Third Uncle would definitely snatch her chocolate.

That scoundrel of a third uncle always sneakily steals her snacks.

The stubbornness will not change.

"Oh?"

"Little sister, come here for a moment."

Ji Menglu beckoned to Chen Yiyi, who stepped forward in confusion. Ji Menglu gently lifted Chen Yiyi's chin and softly opened her mouth: "Follow me, ah~"

"Ah~"

Chen Yi opened her mouth as instructed.

Ji Menglu looked down a few times, took an iron skewer from the nanny's hand, and touched a few of Chen Yiyi's teeth.

"oops."

Chen Yiyi cried out in pain.

"Does it hurt?"

"Ugh, it hurts."

"I understand. Little sister, you really can't eat too much sugar lately."

"Your teeth are rotten again."

Ji Menglu pointed to her cheek and said with a smile.

"No way."

"Yiyi's teeth have grown back."

Chen Yiyi covered her cheek unhappily.

Last time, Lu Yuan helped her remove several rotten teeth, and they finally grew back, but then the other teeth rotted again.

hateful.

If practicing martial arts can't even protect her teeth, then what's the point of practicing martial arts?
If she can't even protect her own teeth, how will she protect Uncle Yuan in the future?

"Your previous tooth has grown back, but the one next to it is rotten."

"Little sister, come here, I'll help you pull out your rotten tooth."

"Does it hurt?"

"It won't hurt. I'm super good at pulling teeth."

"Really?"

"real."

"Ah~"

"Ouch."

"It's been pulled out."

Ji Menglu returned the rotten tooth to Chen Yiyi and instructed her to throw it on the roof, otherwise it would never grow back.

Startled, Chen Yiyi ran out of the princess's residence.

"Granny, tell the kitchen staff not to make any sweets lately. If Yaomei comes over, prepare some other delicious treats to welcome her."

Ji Menglu gave a few instructions.

"Your Highness, what should we do with this?"

The subordinate pointed to the chocolate ball that Chen Yiyi had eaten most of.

"Get rid of it."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Chen family.

Chen Yiyi had just returned home when she ran into Chen Haohao, who had gone out looking for her.

Before Chen Yiyi could hide her rotten teeth, the sharp-eyed Chen Haohao spotted them.

It would have been better if she hadn't noticed, but once she discovered the rotten tooth, Chen Haohao's expression instantly went from sunny to cloudy.

Suddenly, a bamboo whip appeared in her hand.

"Chen Yiyi, have you ever seen a whip technique that descends from the sky?"

"Eat my Eighteen Subduing Dragon Whips."

"Ah~, I was wrong, Yiyi was wrong, ah~"

……

The underground karst caves beneath Wangyou County.

A giant slug was nestled in a puddle, while Peach Blossom Fairy sat on a stone bench nearby, savoring the tea her best friend had specially brewed for her.

"Your tea-making skills have improved."

"You can even use peach petals to make tea, and it tastes so good."

"That's great."

The Peach Blossom Fairy squinted, revealing a joyful expression.

The slug in the puddle stretched out its two long eyes.

"When it comes to brewing tea, I'm a professional."

"With hundreds of years of tea-making experience, I can brew flowers even from withered branches and rotten leaves."

"That's what the slug said confidently."

"Yes, yes, you're awesome."

"By the way, what brings you here?"

Peach Blossom Fairy returned to the main topic.

"Yes, there is indeed something."

"I have received word that a group of evil spirits are heading towards Wangyou County. They are up to no good, so I am here to warn you to be careful."

"If all else fails, find a chance to run away."

"It's a slug," the slug suddenly said.

"Huh? An evil spirit? This guy seems to have ill intentions?"

Are there many of them? How dare they do it?

The Peach Blossom Fairy was puzzled.

Wangyou County is Lu Yuan's territory. How dare those monsters?

“Many, a great many. As far as I know, there are at least twenty spirits involved in this area.”

"This is no joke, please don't force yourself on me."
