Bringing Wen Bao home did not take much effort from Wang Lu.
After experiencing a near-death experience by the river, Wen Bao no longer had any confidence in this Immortal Path. Now, as long as he could survive until the end, he would already be thankful.
Therefore, when Wang Lu smiled and said to him, "Are you interested in cooperating with me to conquer the Peach Blossom Village?", Wen Bao agreed without any hesitation.
Firstly, he really had no other choice. The wet pants on his body was enough to prove the result of walking on the Immortal Path alone. Secondly... what if there was a chance that he could pass this test? Deep in his heart, Wen Bao's yearning for the Immortal Path had not been extinguished.
The only thing that puzzled him was why there was a need for a genius like Wang Lu to cooperate with him. Apart from his fat body, what other advantages did he have?
"Hehe, fat is an advantage. Fat people are usually harder to play with."
"Huh!?" Wen Bao was inexplicably frightened.
"Don't be afraid. At least in this test, the designer did not intend to kill anyone. The village was not designed to let us compete with brute force. Lingjian School is testing a more important quality. "
Wen Bao was a little confused, "A more important quality?"
Hai Yunfan had also been thinking about this question. Nowadays, when the major sects recruited disciples, they needed to test their aptitude, temperament, perception, and luck... other than that, what else did they need?
At this time, Wang Lu had already begun to assign tasks to Wen Bao, "Fatty, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Ah?" Wen Bao said in surprise, "What do you want me to do?"
"First, talk to everyone in the village. As for the specific method, you can ask them what they need help with. Remember to be friendly and sincere... Finally, report your harvest to me. It's very simple, right?"

After sending Wen Bao away, Wang Lu invited Hai Yunfan to eat lunch. The two of them casually chatted at the table, calm and leisurely.
In the time it took to eat, Hai Yunfan had already understood something, "The key is the people. Indeed, wealth, companions, methods, and places are the second most important. It's just that no sect has ever set up such a test before."
Wang Lu was a little surprised. "Never before?"
"At the very least, as far as I know, no sect has ever really paid attention to this point. The path of immortality is ultimately a lonely one. Too much entanglement in interpersonal relationships will hinder the pace of cultivation … It seems that most sects say this."
Wang Lu snorted disdainfully. "Isn't that nonsense? The Immortal Cultivation World isn't a place where lunatics can get along. Even if one's personal strength decides everything, before your cultivation decides everything, it's impossible to do without interpersonal relationships. Unless the legendary Heaven Luo Supreme Immortal descended to the Lower Realm, there was no such thing as an invincible cultivator in this world. Speaking of which, Little Hai, don't you want to go out and try your luck with Wen Bao? You might even get an A-level mission. "
"Haha, forget it. Brother Wang, you didn't even end up in the end … There must be a reason, right?"
Wang Lu said, "Of course, I don't have enough experimental materials, and I'm not confident that I can find a perfect strategy. That's why I'm advising you. Do you want to come down and give me a try? When I get the perfect strategy, I'll remember to thank you. "
Hai Yunfan was immediately deeply impressed by Wang Lu's loyalty. However, what he cared more about was Wang Lu's so-called perfect strategy — there was perfection, but there was also imperfection.
"So, in the Peach Blossom Village, we have to be careful with our words and actions. Otherwise, we might make a mistake?"
Wang Lu laughed. "Yes, this is also in line with the characteristics of immortality. On the path of cultivation, as long as you take a wrong step, you can't go back. The design is very realistic!"
While the two were talking, Wen Bao came back.
"Huh, so fast?" Hai Yunfan was stunned for a moment. It had only been an hour since Wen Bao was kicked out of the house by Wang Lu. Could it be that something unexpected had happened?
It was a big surprise.
"Brother, Brother Wang!"
Wen Bao was stunned for a moment outside the door. He shyly called Wang Lu "Brother Wang".
"What's wrong? Did you encounter a particularly interesting plot?"
"I, I didn't go out for long before I was stopped by an auntie. She said that I looked very much like her dead grandson. After nagging me for a long time, she finally gave me a lot of snacks and invited me to her house at night … I couldn't take too much, so I came back first."
While talking, Wen Bao took out a huge bag.
Opening the bag, a mountain of snacks covered the table, and a burst of mixed fragrance wafted into the air.
The little errand boy, who was cleaning the table, turned around and saw that the snacks looked familiar. "Ah, these are snacks from the snack shop, Auntie Liu. Because it's very troublesome to make, she usually doesn't sell them. Only people who have a good relationship with her will give her one or two. This …"
Wang Lu sighed. "She treats Wen Bao like her own grandson. This fatty is really lucky to have triggered a high-level quest. If I remember correctly, when Auntie Liu was young, she seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with the village head."
The little errand boy was shocked. "Young master, don't talk nonsense! Auntie Liu is a decent person. "
"Decent people can't have an affair? What kind of logic is that? This is a speech that violates human rights. "
"What!?"
"Didn't you notice last night at the banquet? The village head and Auntie Liu were flirting with each other, and in the end, his wife kicked him … That's an important detail. "
The errand boy was dumbfounded. At the banquet, he didn't even have enough time to fend off the wine, and he was already dizzy from drinking the rice wine. How could he have the time to watch the old men and women cheat on each other?
Wang Lu smiled at Wen Bao. "Congratulations, this is most likely an A level quest. It's enough to shake the entire main storyline of the Peach Blossom Village. If you can make it to the end …"
Although he didn't know what an A or B level quest was, hearing Wang Lu say it so seriously, Wen Bao's eyes lit up. "If I can make it to the end …"
"Then you'll have a grandmother who is good at making snacks."
"…"
"So, for the sake of my godgrandmother, please work hard and walk down this path for me!"
After saying that, Wang Lu lifted his foot and kicked.

That night, more and more people walked out of the Cloud Wave Map. Of course, after more than a day of wandering, most of them were exhausted. However, unlike when Wang Lu first arrived, the villagers gave him a warm welcome. For these newcomers, the people of the Peach Blossom Village were much colder.
Was there anything to eat? Yes, there was a place to stay, but there was also money. But nothing was free. What was worse was that the outside world's currency system did not work here.
"What is this?"
"This, this is a gold ingot."
"Gold ingot …? Is it edible? "
"Well, swallowing gold is equivalent to suicide …"
"You want to use this kind of poison to buy my steamed buns? Dream on! "
"Hey, there seems to be a problem with your way of thinking …"
Conversations like this were common. The villagers were not interested in gold and silver at all, which made many young masters who relied on their wealth fail miserably. But soon, some people found a currency that could be used here.
That was labor.
"Want to eat? That's easy. Help me get rid of the weeds in the backyard, and then fill up the water tank at the door. "
As long as they put in enough labor, they would be rewarded by the villagers. Whether it was the sweet and fragrant farmhouse food or the simple but warm bedroom, they could only get it through labor.
In fact, this rule did not only apply to the young masters who participated in the trial, but also to the people of the Peach Blossom Village. In addition to bartering, the villagers also used labor to exchange for what they needed.
For this kind of primitive village, where even the monetary system hasn't been born yet, the young masters could only helplessly accept the reality. These young nobles picked up their hoes, picked up their poles, and enthusiastically threw themselves into the agricultural production. In Wang Lu's words, it was necessary to let these young nobles receive the education of the poor and lower-middle class.
In this situation, the treatment of Wang Lu and the others was like a nail in the eyes of the others. Especially when most of the people were still struggling to survive, Wang Lu had already commanded Wen Bao to fight bravely on the main quest.
On the morning of the third day, Wen Bao had already kowtowed to Aunty Liu's adoptive grandmother. In Wang Lu's words, this was like a flag being pushed down.
"Hey, Fatty is going very well, but the others have already noticed his actions. The imitators will soon start to act."
Wang Lu was lying on the bench next to the dining table and said casually, "But I didn't intend to hide it. The more people participating in the Peach Blossom Village, the better. It's best to activate every villager's quest. Only then will I be able to grasp the perfect strategy."
Hai Yunfan said, "But doing this is equivalent to giving away all the opportunities to others. I don't have brother Wang's insight, but according to common sense, the quest you mentioned should be unique. For example, Aunty Liu will not accept a second grandson, so her resources will be monopolized by Wen Bao. If brother Wang's perfect strategy needs Aunty Liu's help, how are you going to do it? "
"Hey, that's my problem. Or do you also want to walk the perfect strategy?"
Hai Yunfan shook his head and denied, "I never pursue perfection. As long as I find a suitable position for myself, I will be successful."
"I like this sentence. In the future, if I get f * cked by someone, I can use this sentence to calm the situation. Then, in return, I might as well tell you one more thing. The climax of the Peach Blossom Village is yet to come. Do you think Wen Bao is progressing smoothly? Tonight, he will definitely come back crying. "
— —
"Woah! Lord Wang Lu, please help me! "
That night, Wen Bao's crying was so loud that no one could sleep.
"Damn it, why are you crying!"
Although he had expected such a scene, he couldn't help but get angry when someone woke him up in the middle of the night.
Wen Bao didn't realize it and kept crying.
"Lord Wang Lu, I'm in trouble. Aunty Liu, she …"
Wang Lu interrupted him with a loud shout, "Shut up, don't talk for now. I'm going to find a rod and give you a plastic surgery!"
"Ah!?" Wen Bao was taken aback. Seeing that Wang Lu was really going to grab the door latch and was about to swing it, he hastily wiped away his tears and snot and said, "Aunty Liu and the Village Head's wife are fighting. The Village Head's wife can't beat Aunty Liu, so she wants to vent her anger on me, saying that she wants the Village Head to drive me out of the village … Mr. Wang Lu, save me!"
"Save your sister! Just get lost! If you can't even solve this kind of problem, what use are you? "
"But, but that's the Village Head's wife!"
Perhaps it was because he had been kicked too hard by the Lady Boss at the Ru Family Inn, but a seed of fear had already been planted in Wen Bao's heart. Although there were many small villages like the Peach Blossom Village in Canglan Country, and Wen Bao could destroy the entire village with just a frown, but on this Immortal Path, Wen Bao had already regarded himself as a maggot.
"You useless thing, so what if she's the Village Head's wife? She can't even control her own man, so she's not even as good as an inflatable doll. Why are you afraid of an inflatable doll? "
"You can't say that …"
"You can say that! Do you think the Peach Blossom Village quest is that simple? You want a godgrandmother, eat snacks every day, and you think you can pass the quest? You think too highly of the designer! Let me tell you, you're lucky to have encountered such a confrontational plot at a certain stage of the mission. My good-for-nothing errand boy began to fight with the brats of the same age in the village two days ago! "
Hearing this, Wen Bao was stunned.
"Ah?"
"Ah my ass! I've already said that the Peach Blossom Village tests one's EQ, and the most effective way to measure EQ is not to see how many people a person can please, but how they deal with those who hate them. Speaking of which, I'd like to add one more thing. My personal guess is that the designer of the Peach Blossom Village is probably not very popular in Lingjian School. "
Just as Wang Lu finished speaking, he suddenly froze and looked up at the sky.
It seemed like an illusion, but he felt like there were many people cheering for his words above the clouds.
"Well said!"
"We've been looking forward to her Heavenly Tribulation for a long time!"
Shaking his head, Wang Lu dispelled the illusion from his mind, and said, "You're taking the route of Aunty Liu, so the biggest test is the Village Head's wife. Once you solve this problem, the main quest is basically completed, and you can proceed to the next part. So, wipe your snot off your face and get out of here as soon as possible! "
With that, Wang Lu lifted his foot again.
