MM Racing Chapter 266 Did you forget something?
Chapter 266 Did you forget something?
In Chen You's mind, it was as if ten thousand goblins were having a party, stepping on smelly socks.
I paid money just to hear a limerick.
A limerick that recounts all the outrageous things he had done in the past.
What's the difference between this and blatant taunting?
Chen You took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
He looked at Hill, who still maintained a perfect smile, his impeccable face radiating "professionalism".
The words "RNM, refund my money" were never uttered.
After all, they've shown me the way, so what can I say?
Therefore, the key to triggering the massive monster siege of Qianguang City lies in the City Lord's Mansion, and in Meng De, Cai Wenjuan, and Du Chedi.
Chen You didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
If he stayed with this advanced artificial intelligence any longer, he feared he might not be able to resist spending another thousand gold coins to ask her about the creative process behind the poem.
Stepping out of the magnificent Supreme Building, the bustling streets of Thousand Light City come into view.
Players hurried about, while NPCs hawked their wares, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Chen You, however, had no interest in appreciating it.
He activated the auto-pathfinding feature, mounted the white rabbit, and sped away.
While running, he tried to organize his thoughts.
The quest "He must love you very much" has been completed, earning the title of "Guiding Light on the Road to Love," and is now officially over.
Hill's hint only indicated that the quest that triggered the monster siege was related to those three people, but the quest itself should be something else entirely.
He pulled up the map and took a look.
On the icon of the City Lord's Mansion, there was only a lone golden question mark, which was the main quest he hadn't yet handed in—investigating the Meng family's ancestral tomb.
The monster siege that occurred in Zhaocheng was also during the main quest.
Based on this, it seems most likely that the main storyline will continue.
He had already cleared the entire Tomb of a Thousand Lights dungeon and even unlocked a world boss, so the curse should have been lifted by now.
Is there some kind of follow-up? Or is it time to move to another location?
Before long, the magnificent city lord's mansion came into view.
The guards at the gate straightened up immediately upon seeing Chen You, their eyes filled with awe.
This is a ruthless person who single-handedly turned the city lord's mansion upside down, yet escaped unscathed and was even treated with great respect by the city lord.
"Lord Chen You."
The guard stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and stepped aside to make way for him without even announcing his arrival.
"The city lord is in the backyard."
Chen You nodded and walked through the front courtyard as if he knew the way well.
Before we even reached the backyard, a faint laugh drifted over.
He stepped through the moon gate, and the sight before him made the corner of his mouth twitch slightly.
In the pavilion in the backyard, Meng De was carefully peeling a crystal-clear grape for Cai Wenjuan, his movements so gentle they seemed to melt the grape's juice.
Cai Wenjuan had a blush of happiness on her face and would occasionally utter a coquettish remark.
Not far away, at another stone table, Du Chedi sat in a brand-new wheelchair.
She was engrossed in reading a thick book, a faint smile playing on her lips, seemingly oblivious to the lovers over there.
Sunlight streamed down, a gentle breeze blew, and the whole scene exuded an eerie harmony.
What a delicious pot of soup!
Chen You silently complained to himself.
He cleared his throat and walked over.
"It seems you're living quite well."
Upon hearing the sound, the three of them looked over at the same time.
When Mengde saw Chen You, his face immediately lit up with a warm smile, and he quickly put down the grapes in his hand and stood up.
"Brother Chen You! You've finally arrived!"
He strode forward, grabbed Chen You's hand, and acted as if he had seen a long-lost brother.
"Thanks to you, thanks to you!"
Chen You calmly withdrew his hand and asked directly.
"You... you don't need any help with anything, right?"
He needed to confirm first, to make sure it wasn't some kind of emotional entanglement mission.
"No, no!" Mengde shook his head vigorously. "We're doing very well! We're doing very well now!"
Cai Wenjuan also stood up, smiled gently at Chen You, her eyes full of gratitude.
Even Du Chedi closed his book, nodded to him, and said, "Thank you, I'm doing very well now."
A huge weight was lifted off Chen You's shoulders.
It seems that the "love" and "brotherhood" in Hill's lousy poem are just setting the scene; the real key to the mission lies elsewhere.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then got to the point.
"That's good. I came here today to ask about the Meng family ancestral mausoleum."
Chen You looked at Meng De and spoke slowly.
"I have already resolved the issue of the Tomb of a Thousand Lights, and the bloodline curse of your Meng family should no longer exist."
"What are your plans for the future?"
The voice just fell.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
Meng De, who was all smiles and radiating the sweet smell of love just a moment ago, froze on his face.
The smile on his face faded like the tide, and his eyes changed from enthusiastic to sharp and deep.
The posture that had been slightly relaxed due to a comfortable life suddenly straightened up.
In a mere second, his entire demeanor seamlessly switched from "love-struck" to "iron-blooded city lord."
An aura of authority befitting a powerful figure emanated from him.
Even Cai Wenjuan and Du Chedi, who were standing nearby, seemed to have gotten used to this change and just watched silently.
"A brave adventurer."
Mengde spoke, his voice deep and powerful, filled with a serious, businesslike air.
"You single-handedly lifted the bloodline curse that had plagued my Meng clan for hundreds of years. Qianguang City and my Meng clan will never forget this achievement."
His wording instantly changed from "brothers" to "adventurers".
Chen You raised an eyebrow, waiting for what would happen next.
"Now that the curse has been lifted," Meng De looked toward the ancestral tomb, his eyes becoming extremely solemn.
"As the current head of the Meng family and the lord of Qianguang City, I should immediately go to the ancestral mausoleum to inform our ancestors of this matter!"
He spoke with great passion and righteous indignation.
"This is a matter of course, a fundamental principle of human relations! It is also an inescapable responsibility for us, the younger generation!"
"I should bathe and change my clothes, and fast for three days... uh..."
Mengde seemed to realize something was amiss halfway through his speech and changed the subject.
"In times of emergency, expediency is necessary; I believe today is an auspicious day."
"I will immediately prepare sacrificial offerings of three kinds of animals, and lead the entire clan to the tomb to burn incense and pray, to comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven!"
Chen You almost burst out laughing when he saw his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
With that kind of quick change of expression, it's a waste of her talent not to be an actress.
"So," Chen You interrupted his long-winded explanation, "you mean, go now?"
"Exactly!" Mengde replied decisively. "Without further ado, I'll go and prepare!"
After saying that, he turned to leave, acting swiftly and decisively, as if delaying even a second would be a great disrespect to his ancestors.
"Wait a minute," Chen You called out to him.
Mengde stopped and turned back to ask, "Is there anything else you would like to instruct me on?"
Chen You looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Did you forget something?"
