"Sigh … Two paragraphs ago, he was still saying something like … 'Is it easy to be the main character?' But after the next chapter, he's left me with the whole mess …"
At 4 pm, Xiao Tan carried his backpack and walked down the street alone, mumbling to himself.
"He said something like … 'Since there is still a long time before midnight, I alone will be enough to keep an eye on Xiong Ji. You can move around freely in this scenario. Perhaps you'll be able to accept some hidden missions or get some items' … Haha … That's basically giving up on me …"
As he mumbled to himself, he lowered his head to look at the map in his hands. "Also … this map sure is sloppy. With this … will I really be able to find Miao Mei's home and meet up with them?"
"Hey, you over there."
Just as Xiao Tan lowered his head to study the map, a rather feminine voice came from behind him.
"Hmm?" Xiao Tan's first reaction was, "A salesman?"
In real life, Wang Tanzhi was the type of person who would be stopped by people on the street. Because he looked like a very easy-going person, people who sold insurance, peddled gym cards, promoted all kinds of unlicensed products, and self-proclaimed talent scouts all liked to talk to him. There was also … random street interviews from TV stations, chatting up strangers, chatting up strangers, chatting up strangers, chatting up strangers, chatting up strangers of unknown gender, etc …
Xiao Tan was such a person. When people first saw him, they would feel warm and safe. This was an innate presence. Even though it had something to do with physical appearance, it was not completely dependent on one's appearance. If there was a negative example … Feng Bujue was one.
Brother Jue was definitely not ugly. The woman in white at the south gate of Harem City gave him a very pertinent comment — "Forgive me for being blunt, but when it comes to appearance, I'm afraid the young master is still a little bit lacking." Since it was' a little bit lacking ', it meant that … he was not that far off. Considering the fact that there were no oppas in Harem City, their sense of beauty should be quite reliable.
However, when Feng Bujue walked down the street, he was rarely approached by strangers. Even the workers who passed flyers to passersby, when they passed Brother Jue a piece of paper … they would move their eyes away, and they would appear rather nervous.
In the same situation, if Xiao Tan walked down the street with a smile on his face, people would think … this handsome man had run into something good. But if Feng Bujue walked down the street with the same smile, people would think … this handsome man had just solved a locked-room murder …
"Hello, classmate, do you have some time?"
When Xiao Tan turned around, he saw the figures of two men.
These two … were 'humans'. He was a real human being, not an anthropomorphic animal.
The person who spoke to Xiao Tan looked about forty or fifty. He was wearing a light green kimono. He had light brown hair and a stubble on his chin.
The person beside him looked to be in his early twenties and was wearing a beige kimono. He had a head of black hair and was fair and clean. He stared with a pair of dead fish eyes and carried a wooden box tied to a straw rope on his chest.
"Yes …" Xiao Tan hesitated for two seconds before replying, "Sure."
He had been wandering around aimlessly, trying to find some side quests or hidden quests, so he had plenty of time on his hands.
[Side mission has been triggered.]
After Xiao Tan said the word 'yes,' the system notification came.
He immediately opened the game menu and looked at the mission panel. The words [Witness the victory between Banana Mulberry and Ceng Liangjun as a referee] appeared in front of his eyes.
"Oh?" When Xiao Tan saw the mission content, he took two seconds to react. He thought to himself, "From the names and appearances of these two … Could they be 'Matsuo Banana' and 'Kawai Ceng Liangjun' (Matsuo Banana was a famous haiku master in the Edo period with the name 'Haiku Sage.' Kawai Ceng Liangjun was a haiku poet of the same era. He had once traveled Oku and the Northern Continent with Matsuo Banana as his disciple. He was also one of Matsuo Banana's ten disciples, one of the 'Ten Sages of Banana Mulberry')?"
Xiao Tan's familiarity with "Niwa" was far inferior to Brother Jue's, but his general knowledge of history was still quite good. He knew a little about the historical figures of various countries, so he wondered, "Aren't these two master and disciple … What's with the victory and defeat?" With this in mind, the expression in his eyes changed slightly. "However … In this amusing universe, nothing will be strange. I'll take a look first …"
"That's great, classmate. Oh … By the way, let me introduce myself. "When Banana saw that Xiao Tan had agreed, he smiled and said," I'm the famous Matsuo Banana. "
"To actually say that you're famous in front of someone you've just met …" Xiao Tan didn't know what kind of person Banana was in the Niwa world. When he heard this, he complained inwardly, "Wait … Even in front of an acquaintance … Ah … Forget it …"
Two seconds later, Xiao Tan smiled awkwardly and pretended to be a little surprised. "Hey ~ Are you the famous Matsuo Banana?"
"Heh heh … Yes, that's me. Do you want me to sign on your clothes?" Banana asked happily.
"Uh …" Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes and replied, "That … That won't be necessary … May I know why you stopped me?" Xiao Tan quickly steered the topic back to business, wanting to complete the mission as soon as possible.
"Oh! By the way, it's like this … "Banana pointed at Ceng Liang beside him." That man with bad eyesight over there is my disciple, Ceng Liangjun. "
"Slap your bear face!" Just as Banana finished speaking, Ceng Liang gave him a slap from the side behind him.
"Ah —" Banana screamed and turned his neck more than ninety degrees. However, he recovered in two seconds and looked at Xiao Tan again. With a threatening gaze and tone, he said, "Did … you see anything just now?"
"No … I'm a little far-sighted. I didn't see anything …" Xiao Tan looked up at the sky and replied against his will.
"That's good." Banana's eyes were filled with tears as he said solemnly, "The Banana Legend of this land still needs you to praise it. Thank you for your trouble!"
"Rely on me …" The corner of Xiao Tan's mouth twitched as he replied, "Speaking of which … 'Banana Legend' or something … What the hell is that?"
"Ah, that's why I called out to you." As Banana spoke, he began to explain, "Actually … Just now, Ceng Liangjun and I each composed a haiku (a type of classical short poem in Japan. It's composed of a total of seventeen syllables. It has strict requirements for the format and is restricted by the Ji language) …"
At this moment, Ceng Liang quickly said to Xiao Tan, "What I made was — 'Strong and unrestrained Pine Island, Du Yu An Xiang borrowed the Vermillion Robe, Don't let the scenery disappear in vain.'"
After he finished speaking, Banana said, "And what I made was — 'Although it was extremely itchy just now, it's fine now.'"
"Hey …" Xiao Tan was alarmed when he heard that. "What's the latter part? This shouldn't be a problem with the system's translation, right? Even if I haven't learned Japanese, I can tell that there's a world of difference between the two parts … "
"Classmate, I just want to find a bystander to judge which part is better." Before Banana could finish his sentence, he proudly recited, "But if you ask me … If my haiku is' 100, 'Ceng Liangjun's haiku is probably' 2 '… Oh, no … It's vomit. Heh heh … Vomit. Ahaha … Ahahaha …" As he spoke, he even giggled foolishly.
"I'll slap your bear face again!" The next second, Ceng Liangjun used another slap to stop Banana's foolish actions …
"Holy sh * t … Can the attributes of one of them be any more obvious …" Xiao Tan felt pressured as he watched from the side. He thought to himself, "Also … Does the outcome of the battle between the two of them really need an existence like a 'referee' to judge …"
"Classmate …" Banana quickly covered his swollen left cheek and acted as if nothing had happened as he leaned in front of Xiao Tan. "That's the general situation … Tell me … Whose haiku do you think is better, Ceng Liangjun's or mine? Say it … Then, praise the legend of Banana … "
"Ceng Liangjun." Xiao Tan didn't even wait for Banana to finish his sentence before he decisively gave an answer.
"Pfft —" Before he could finish his sentence, Banana instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the side of the road.
"You should give up now, Ba-san," Ceng Liangjun said coldly as he stood behind Banana.
"That … Classmate … Although I don't know your name …" Banana didn't seem to have given up. He came in front of Xiao Tan once again and said, "I beg of you … Reconsider carefully again …"
"This guy sure is thick-skinned …" Xiao Tan's face was covered in cold sweat. He looked at Ba Jiao and thought to himself, You don't know my name because you didn't ask for my name and didn't give me the chance to introduce myself, right? And … that kind of haiku of yours, the more you think about it and think about it carefully, the more you will feel that it is so cheap …
"Ah! I got it! " Suddenly, Banana's eyes lit up. He took out a rather thick piece of cardboard from somewhere and handed it to Xiao Tan. "If you consider it carefully, I can give this to you ~"
"Are you trying to bribe me …" Xiao Tan muttered softly as he took the item from the other party. "Yes … If it's really a very good prop, I can take the test …"
His words came to an abrupt halt because he realized … that there was only Banana's signature on the piece of cardboard. What was even more ridiculous was that … there was a bright red lipstick mark beside the signature.
"Please put it away …" At that instant, Xiao Tan's blackened state suddenly came online. "Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't accept it …"
"Enough is enough, Ba-san." At this point, Ceng Liangjun couldn't stand it any longer. He went forward and grabbed Banana's collar. "Leave quickly, Ba-san. Don't cause trouble for others."
"Wait … Wait! Ceng Liangjun … "At that moment, Banana flipped over and stood up straight." No … Ceng Liangjun! "
Pa —
"No … Lord Ceng Liangjun …" Another forceful slap made Banana change the way he addressed his disciple. "… Let's duel! Let's duel! "
