Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 268 Chat before dinner

The two of them randomly picked a table and sat down. Nian was of course not particular about it, and Beichen was the same, so they didn't need the private room upstairs.

The dishes were all ordered by Nian. After all, Beichen didn't have any taboos, but Nian specifically asked to add more chili peppers to the dishes.

I don’t know if the chili here is spicy or not, and whether it can meet the New Year’s requirements.

With nothing to do, Beichen began to quietly look at the people sitting at other tables eating and drinking or waiting for food to be served.

It seems that there are mostly locals, and there are also many people like me who are just passing by to rest.

Since all the locals come to eat, the taste shouldn't be bad. After all, who would put the food at home and not go out and spend money to eat it?

"Beichen, I have nothing to do, would you like to hear me tell you a story?"

Nian suddenly asked from the side.

Beichen withdrew his gaze, turned back to look at Nian and asked, "What, is this another interesting story about Xi?"

"Haha, this is not about Xi, it's just something that happened to me a long time ago."

Nian's eyes were not on Beichen, but looking somewhere in the store.

Beichen followed Nian's gaze and found a young man sitting alone at the table.

He doesn't look very old, probably only two or three years older than me.

However, there was a bit of heroism between his brows and there was a weapon on his waist, but Bei Chen didn't recognize what kind of weapon it was.

"Is there anything special about that person? Or do you know him, Sister Nian?"

Beichen asked curiously.

Nian retracted his gaze, smiled and shook his head, and then said: "No, I don't know him, but his appearance reminds me of a person I met before."

"Are they friends, the kind who have a good relationship?"

Beichen asked, after all, not many people can remember things for such a long time.

"How come? Strictly speaking, we should have only met once."

Nian replied, judging from her tone, that was indeed not an important person.

"Then why do you think of it?"

Beichen became even more curious about the story.

"Let me think about it, it was probably a few decades ago... No, it seems to be a hundred years ago?"

Nian paused, which made Beichen speechless. This story could not have been made up again.

"Forget it, let's not waste time. Anyway, there was a young man like this before. He heard about me from somewhere and begged me to build him a weapon, saying he wanted to avenge his father."

"You say he came to find you, but in fact you came to him yourself."

Bei Chen pointed out that, after all, with Nian's abilities, as long as she didn't want to see him, no one else would be able to find him. Of course, that person must be an ordinary person.

"Haha, you have discovered this. Yes, I took the initiative to let him find me. After all, I accidentally heard that such a person was looking for me. I felt a little curious, so I arranged an accident for him to find me. Fuck me."

Nian also admitted it directly. With her character, it is not very strange to do such a thing.

"Good guys, isn't it true that you can't contact ordinary people casually?"

Beichen asked, after all, it was still too dangerous to do this anyway.

"At that time, the guys above were not so strict with us. It was just a few old guys who looked at us and turned a blind eye unless we caused any trouble."

Nian continued: "That kid was also rude. When he saw me, he knelt down and begged me to make him a weapon to avenge his father."

"Why, did you fulfill his wish with your kindness?"

Beichen asked, since Nian said so, there is probably a turning point.

"How is it possible? Can my things be given to others casually? Not only will it harm him, but there may be others who want to cause trouble for me."

Nian shook his head.

"Then you just drove him away?"

"Of course not. I gave him an ordinary iron sword like the one in the blacksmith shop. I just gave the sword a beautiful layer of texture. It does look a little different, but it is still an ordinary iron sword."

"So, are you going to tell me that even without the weapons you forged, this man still succeeded in avenging his father by relying on his own abilities?"

Beichen spread his hands and said, this is some kind of useless preaching story.

"It wouldn't be bad if this turned out to be the case, but in fact, he was also killed by his enemies and his body was exposed in the wilderness. This is something I found out by accident."

"What's wrong, someone turned into a ghost and came to find you? Or do you regret it?"

Beichen didn't care. After all, this kind of thing was very common. When deciding to take revenge, he had to prepare for the worst.

"I don't regret it at all, but I wonder what would have happened if the weapon I gave him at that time was a real thing, that is, a weapon made by myself."

"What's the use of thinking about it now, after all, you can't go back in time."

Nian smiled and replied: "Of course it's impossible to travel through time, but it just so happened that decades later, I met another young man who also wanted to avenge his father. I saw the sadness on his face. The angry expression reminded me of the previous incident."

"Did you give it this time?"

"Well, here you go, the weapon I forged with my own hands is, of course, not the kind you imagined, but as long as I take it out, it will definitely be the best in the world."

Okay, the New Year is blowing again, but it is true that the thing that passes through her hands must not be ordinary.

"So, did he succeed in getting revenge?"

Nian shook his head and replied: "No, he was also killed by his enemies and his weapon was taken away. Later, I quietly got the weapon back."

"Alas, it's a pity that my precious sword, which cuts iron like clay and blows hair off, is still here with me."

A knife suddenly appeared in Nian's hand, placed it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Beichen.

"It does look unusual."

Beichen nodded. It would be absolutely fine to have a five-star weapon in a certain game.

Nian put away the weapon and continued: "Right, with such a good weapon, anyone with some skills can make a name for himself."

The two were silent for a while, and then Nian asked first.

"What do you think is more important, the sword or the person who uses the sword?"

"You should already have the answer when you asked me."

Beichen said.

"Ha, that's right. Just like I can't beat my elder brother no matter what weapon I use, but an ordinary person can easily kill another ordinary person with a sword. This is inherently contradictory."

The good guy still wants to show off with his eldest brother, right?

It doesn’t matter whether it’s formed or not, just go back and practice again (annoyed)

"Okay, the food is served, let's not talk anymore."

"Hey, Sister Nian, don't put food you don't like into my bowl!"

Chapter 270 Where is this place?

"So what's the solution?"

Nian asked curiously.

"Didn't I tell you before that this world was created by simply modifying one of Yu Xi's paintings. I just learned that it can be connected to other paintings, so we can enter directly from here."

"Hahaha, kid, I didn't expect that the pile of paintings I gave you before would come in handy here. Let's go in quickly without further delay."

Nian was also happy and hurriedly urged.

"Also, Nian, let me tell you, I just found out that my world can also integrate Xi's other paintings, so..."

"Is there such a good thing?"

At this time, he seemed happier than smelting an artifact.

"Then clear out Xi's inventory!"

"Sprint!"

connecting........

A prompt box flashed before Beichen's eyes, and then the space collapsed, and a passage suddenly appeared in front of Beichen and Nian.

"Let's go, you can enter from here."

Nian and Beichen opened their legs and walked directly into the passage. A strong sense of dizziness suddenly hit them, and then their eyes blurred and they appeared on a small road.

"So we should be in now, right?"

Beichen looked at Nian and asked.

Nian nodded and said: "I'm sure of this. I can clearly see the tricks Xi did on her paintings to avoid that thing. Now I can't use my abilities. What's wrong? If so, you must be responsible for protecting me."

Beichen glanced sideways at Nian. Are you unwilling to take action because you find it troublesome, or are you planning to ambush Xi and give her the whole big job?

"Hey, don't believe me. If I make a move now, I will be discovered by Xi. What if she escapes directly?"

Looking at Beichen's suspicious look, Nian said unhappily.

"Won't Xi run away when he sees your appearance?"

Beichen asked, what's more, isn't there some strange feeling between you two? Didn't Xi notice it early when you came in?

Nian smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I took something from my eldest sister. As long as I don't use my powers casually, Xi will never be able to find me. The most she can do is know that there are many things in the painting. An ordinary person emerged."

And it is.

Far away, in a secluded hut, Xi frowned and murmured to himself: "Who disturbed my purity? That's all, let him reflect here for a while."

The clean scroll was placed on the small table in front of her, but she held the paintbrush in her hand but did not start to paint.

It's more like a sword than a paintbrush.

His eyes returned to Beichen and Nian again.

Get it from eldest sister?

Hiss, he couldn't have stolen it while your sister was drunk, but it should have been her acquiescence.

It seems that Sister Ling also thinks that her younger sister should go out for a walk, otherwise she would not let Nian act like this.

"Did you see the town ahead? Let's go there first to collect information."

Following the path, Nian and Beichen walked toward the town. As they got closer to the town, more and more people were on the road. There were still people farming in the fields, and they didn't know what they were planting.

Maybe it's just a crop invented by Xi?

The flow of people is increasing, and the seemingly inconspicuous town is bustling with people.

The path that Beichen and Nian were walking on was also very noisy. It should be... No, it must be the residents of the small town chatting. Although it was just fake, it felt very real.

Following the flow of people, Nian and Beichen walked into the town.

"Ha, my silly sister, it's been a long time since I went out. How come the things in the painting haven't changed for so long? You should go out for a walk even if it's just for painting."

Nian looked at the buildings in the town and couldn't help but sigh.

Beichen also took a look at the town, as if... he had walked into some tourist attraction. The only difference from the outside seemed to be that there were a few missing telephone poles on the side of the road.

"Let's walk around and take a look. I've never been to this place before. Let's ask someone first to find out if they've seen any painters."

Nian seems to be very leisurely, but Beichen doesn't want to be so leisurely.

As soon as he came in, he felt something was wrong here. It seemed that it was different from what was in the plot?

After Beichen confirmed Nian's location, he walked into a nearby shop, which sold tea to quench the thirst of passers-by. It happened to be open at the entrance of the town.

Just when Beichen was about to talk, he discovered a problem.

No money!

Of course, it means that if you don’t have the kind of money that people here use, you can’t spend Longmen coins.

Beichen turned around and walked back to the street. He looked at the people coming and going on the street and randomly picked an unlucky guy.

How long has it been since this ability was used? It feels a little nostalgic to say that, after all, it is my first serious ability, and based on my current strength, I can definitely get good things.

theft!
