After the New Year shopping, it was already three o 'clock in the afternoon when the brother and sister returned home. There were a lot of big and small bags. If Ouyang Shuo hadn't been exercising recently, he would have doubted whether he could carry all these things back home.
As soon as they got home, Bing'er immediately opened a box of chocolates and was about to put them into her mouth. Ouyang Shuo couldn't stand it anymore and teased, "Baby, if you eat like this, you'll become a little fat girl."
"Hmph, bad brother, the cute Bing'er will not become a little fat girl. I have a body that won't get fat!" The little girl was like a proud little peacock.
Ouyang Shuo was stunned, "Ah, who taught you this? Body that won't get fat?!"
"Ah?!" Bing'er opened her mouth wide and realized that she had said something she shouldn't say. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hands. Seeing her brother's stern eyes, she finally gave in and whispered, "Sister Xiaoyue said it."
Ouyang Shuo patted his forehead. He was at his wit's end with these two beauties. This Sun Xiaoyue, why did she tell everything to Bing'er? She was still a child. After the New Year, he had to teach her a lesson.
"I can only eat this one. If I eat more, will I still have dinner?" Ouyang Shuo could only compromise.
"Well, I know brother loves Bing'er the most." The little girl sensed that her brother wasn't really angry, so she immediately returned to her nature. She skipped to his side and sat down obediently.
What else could Ouyang Shuo do for such a cute sister? He patted her little head lovingly, "Tell me, what do you want to eat tonight? Brother will cook for you."
"I want to eat cola chicken wings!"
"Okay, then let's eat cola chicken wings."
Gaia Year 2, 17th day, sunny, suitable for burial, moving coffin, avoid marriage, make alliance.
Yesterday afternoon, the cemetery had been built. Today happened to be an auspicious day for burial. Therefore, the administrative office organized the burial of the two soldiers who died in the last battle.
Early in the morning, all the people of Shanhai Town gathered in front of the upgraded ancestral hall with black cloth wrapped around their arms to send off the souls of the heroes of the territory.
A mourning hall had been set up in the ancestral hall. The coffin made of the best wood selected by the carpentry workshop was placed in the middle of the mourning hall. The ashes of the fallen soldiers had already been placed into the coffins by the people of the territory.
Because the deceased soldier did not have any relatives, the army arranged for the soldiers of the Second Fire of the First Cavalry Team and the Third Fire of the Second Cavalry Team to be responsible for carrying the coffin.
The funeral procession left the ancestral hall, passed the village entrance, and turned to the cemetery in the west of the territory. The cemetery was built on the edge of the territory. According to the investigation of the old people in the town, it could be regarded as a place with good Feng Shui.
They arrived at the cemetery and chose a place to be buried. Fan Zhongyan, the head of the administration, took out the memorial he had already written, and after reading it with a sorrowful expression, he burned it himself.
After the burial, the whole ceremony was over. Although it looked a little crude, it was enough to express the gratitude of the territory to the soldiers who died on the battlefield. It was enough for the commoners and soldiers present to feel the heavy love that the feudal lord had for the dead and the soldiers.
After returning from the funeral, Ouyang Shuo was not in a good mood. He stayed in his office alone. His subordinates were good at reading people's expressions, so they naturally wouldn't disturb him at this time.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, a system announcement suddenly sounded.
"System Announcement: The 19th day of the 2nd month of the first year of Gaia is the traditional New Year's Eve in China. In order to add to the festive atmosphere, the Nian Beast Making a New Year event will be held. Please look forward to it! "
"System Announcement: On New Year's Eve, a large number of Nian beasts will descend into the wilderness and attack the players' territories. Any territory occupied by the Nian beasts will suffer a cruel massacre. Any territory that is successfully expelled from the territory of the Nian beasts will receive generous rewards. All feudal lords, please make preparations in advance! "
Heh, if not for the system announcement, Ouyang Shuo would have forgotten that there was such an event. Before his rebirth, he was an adventure-type player, so he did not participate in the Nian Beast Making a New Year event, so he did not have any impression of it.
If adventure-type players left the city on New Year's Eve, they would also have a chance to encounter Nian beasts. After killing Nian beasts, they would also receive rewards. However, first, it required luck, unlike the feudal lord players, who would definitely encounter Nian beasts. Second, it required strength. Nian beasts were at least level 30 bosses, and it was better for lone players not to get involved in this mess. Therefore, those who participated in the Nian Beast Making a New Year event were all powerful mercenary groups.
As of now, the top ten mercenary groups in the China region had been decided. Every capital had at least one, and the capital even had two mercenary groups on the list. Of course, this was only the ranking on the forum, and it had not been officially recognized.
The Nian Beast Making a New Year event was held every year in the China region. However, the one who really played a trick was a feudal lord called Piggy Knight. It was the third year of Gaia's new year's eve. It was unknown how the fellow's imagination ran wild, but when the Nian beast invaded the village, he did not kill the Nian beast. Instead, he suddenly had the idea to take out a contract scroll he had previously obtained, hoping to subdue the Nian beast as a pet.
The world was so wonderful. The injured Nian did not become Piggy Knight's pet, but unexpectedly became a territory guardian beast. This made Piggy Knight overjoyed, and he wished he could go around telling everyone about his imagination. In that year's Nian Beast Making a New Year event, Piggy Knight and his territory were in the limelight.
In the second year, there were jealous feudal lords who wanted to follow Piggy Knight's example, but they received a system notification saying that the territory guardian beast was unique. Once it became a territory guardian beast, it could not be tamed again. In an instant, these feudal lords who wanted to take advantage of the situation had nothing to lose.
Ouyang Shuo naturally did not want to miss out on such a benefit. He got up and left the office, walking towards the market. The market had already been upgraded to a mid-level market, unlocking the functions of the auction platform. Unfortunately, for the auction platform to officially start operating, it had to wait until the third month after the game's server was released. There was still about a month and a half from now.
Beginner Contract Scroll, priced at 100 gold coins, has a higher chance of taming wild beasts below level 30. Intermediate Contract Scroll, priced at 500 gold coins, has a higher chance of taming wild beasts below level 60. Advanced Contract Scroll, priced at 300 gold coins, has a higher chance of taming wild beasts below level 80. As for wild beasts above level 80, they could not be tamed with a Contract Scroll.
Such an expensive price was not something that current feudal lords could afford, except for a tycoon like Ouyang Shuo. Even he could only afford a beginner scroll. Now, he could only pray that the invading Nian beast was not above level 30. Otherwise, there was a high chance that the taming would fail.
Since he had come to the market, he remembered that Shanhai Town was short of resources, so he spent another 10 gold coins to buy a large number of lanterns, fireworks, firecrackers, couplets, and talismans. He was going to let the Reserve Department give them to the citizens for free to increase the festive atmosphere of Shanhai Town.
After a round of shopping, Ouyang Shuo was left with 250 gold coins in his storage bag. Previously, he was thinking of saving up for the auction, but he did not expect to spend so much.
Walking out of the wooden hut in the market, the empty space in front of the hut was already filled with fireworks, firecrackers, and other New Year goods. Ouyang Shuo only took out a carp lantern, and did not care about anything else.
When he returned to the Lord's Mansion, Qing 'er happened to be in the courtyard. When she saw the lantern in Ouyang Shuo's hand, she was extremely excited. "Ah, what a beautiful lantern! Brother, where did you buy it? The general store in the town doesn't sell it. Can I give it to Qing 'er? "
The little girl used her unique skill of acting coquettishly. Her voice was sweet and sickeningly sweet, and her big eyes stared at Ouyang Shuo pitifully, making an expression that said if he did not agree, she would cry in front of him.
Ouyang Shuo ignored her coquettishness and knocked her head. "You still want a lantern? Did you bring back the equipment that you promised me yesterday? "
"Ouch, it hurts! Hmph, Big Brother doesn't know how to dote on me at all. I'm a girl! " Qing 'er pretentiously shook her head and said, "Of course I brought it back. Otherwise, why would I be in the mansion? Big Brother also didn't know how to arrange for someone to help me, so I had to ask my disciples for help. It's so heavy. "
Ouyang Shuo glared at her. "You still know that you are a girl? Every day, you don't even have the bearing of a lady. It seems that I have to talk to You 'er and ask her to discipline you and teach you how to be a lady. Look at how mischievous you are. "
Speaking of the devil, Ying You happened to walk out of the finance office. Hearing Ouyang Shuo's admonishment, she smiled and said, "Big Brother, don't be angry. Qing 'er is still young after all. Being a little naive is also part of her nature. When you are a little older, you will naturally be better. "
Qing 'er found a backer and was no longer afraid of Ouyang Shuo. She proudly ran behind Ying You and made a face at him. She said, "That's right. Big Sister still knows how to dote on Qing' er."
Ying You pulled Qing 'er from behind to in front of her, tapped her forehead, and said in a pampering manner, "You are indeed a little too naughty. No wonder Big Brother is angry. Quickly go and apologize to Big Brother." After saying that, she constantly used her eyes to signal, 'Damn girl, if you really make Big Brother embarrassed, your good days will come to an end.'
Qing 'er was clever and immediately understood her big sister's meaning. She pitifully walked in front of Ouyang Shuo and sincerely said, "Big Brother, Qing' er is wrong. Qing 'er promises that I will not be naughty in the future and will learn from big sister how to behave like a lady. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and thought, 'It would be strange if I believe you. Never mind, let nature take its course. ' He handed the lantern in his hand to her and said, "Take it and play with it."
The little girl took the lantern and thanked him. Then, she ran out of the door with a smile on her face. No one knew who she was going to show off to. Ouyang Shuo and Ying You looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile.
"Big Brother, where did you get the lantern? Did you buy it from the market?" Ying You asked.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "That's right. This time, I bought a batch of New Year's goods from the market. I'm going to give them to all the people in my territory for free. It's time to have some fun all year round. "
"Big Brother is really thoughtful."
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and walked into the resources office. He found Du Xiaolan and told her about the New Year's goods before returning to his office.
