Lan Ya looked at the time. It was getting late. It would be too troublesome to go back to the Five Poisons. She might as well go offline in Beijing.

She had spent so much time doing this quest today. She would probably have to continue doing it tomorrow. Wouldn't she be standing up To Kill Like A Crow On A String?

Lan Ya sent a message to To Kill Like A Crow On A String, apologizing that she would not be able to level up tomorrow.

To Kill Like A Crow On A String replied quickly. The general idea was that orange equipment was more important than leveling up. If she needed help, she could ask her brother for help.

This reply was so unique. She could imagine the tone of To Kill Like A Crow On A String just by looking at the text.

After replying to the message, she decided to walk around nearby. Previously, she was just looking for someone. Although she had already walked around Beijing, she did not have time to take a closer look. At that time, she was still complaining about why the map of Beijing was so big.

Now that she slowed down and slowly admired it, it was a different feeling.

Halfway through her stroll, Chen Xi sent her a message asking her where she was.

[Rana Yamashita]: I'm in Beijing. Do you want to come over?

[Hua Xiaoxi]: I was going to ask you if you wanted to come over.

[Rana Yamashita]: Where are you?

[Hua Xiaoxi]: Hehe, it's a place you definitely don't know!

[Rana Yamashita]: Why are you being so mysterious? Did you go to explore?

Exploring was a common phrase in the player circle. Only a few areas and main cities in the game had teleportation points. The rest of the areas were not marked with specific landmarks. Players had to go there in person to update the landmarks on the map.

Therefore, in the game forum, players spontaneously began to exchange information with each other. They posted the places they had been to to fill in the blank areas on the map.

This activity was launched not long ago. Because most of the players' levels were not high enough to deal with the monsters on the road, only players who had finished their apprenticeship had the ability to explore the unknown areas.

Their actions had become pathfinders. Among them, some were selfless, while others were taking the opportunity to amass wealth.

It was said that some players had already begun to purchase all sorts of information at a high price. In the future, they planned to create a chargeable version of the map. Not only would this map have landmarks marked, but it would also have information on the monsters along each route, as well as the fastest and most convenient way to reach the destination.

Today's game had already developed into a community platform, not an entertainment project.

It hadn't been long since Fire Drinking Token was launched, and most of its functions hadn't been released yet. The game would become more and more realistic in the future.

[Hua Xiaoxi]: At first, I was planning to explore and earn some money to spend. But when I arrived at Liancheng, I found that there were many towns here. It seemed like there were quests, so I stayed here to take a look.

Do you want to come over and take a look?

[Rana Yamashita]: No need, I'm doing a mission here.

[Hua Xiaoxi]: Aiyo, you're doing pretty well. Go ahead and do it. Look for me if you need help!

[Rana Yamashita]: Yes, yes, you too.

[Hua Xiaoxi]: You're only level 34. What's the use of looking for you if I can't do it?

The two chatted for a while, and Lan Ya saw that it was almost time.

She said goodbye to Chen Xi and went offline first.

The next day, Lan Ya went online early. She found that she was getting online earlier and earlier recently. This could be considered as experiencing the joy of gaming.

Yesterday, she specifically went offline near the Datong Bank. Today, as soon as she went online, she could directly find someone.

As soon as she entered the bank, she saw Lu Xiaofeng and the shopkeeper holding a large stack of banknotes. They were studying something under the light.

When the shopkeeper saw Lan Ya, he immediately greeted her, "Miss Rana Yamashita, the young master is waiting for you upstairs."

"Yes, okay, thank you."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were still fixed on the banknotes. He said, "Go up quickly, we're just waiting for you."

"What are you looking at?"

Lan Ya looked at Lu Xiaofeng shaking the banknotes and looking at them under the light. He even put the banknotes under his nose and asked.

Lu Xiaofeng looked back at her and hooked his index finger at her. "Come here."

When Lan Ya walked over, he put the banknotes in front of her and asked, "Smell it. Is there any special smell?"

Lan Ya lowered her head and took a deep breath. The first smell that entered her nose was the smell of ink. It was not pungent, but it was definitely not pleasant. Then there was a faint fragrance of flowers. However, Lan Ya did not know much about plants, so she could not tell what kind of flowers it was.

"There's a fragrance of flowers?"

"What else?"

What else?

Lan Ya lowered her head and sniffed again. She felt that she could not smell anything else. She looked at Lu Xiaofeng in confusion. "What else do you want me to smell?"

"It's probably because you don't drink wine often. There's a faint smell of alcohol here." Lu Xiaofeng fanned the banknotes with an intoxicated expression. "And it's a top-grade Drunk Beauty."

"Drunk Beauty?

Is that the name of the wine? "

"Drunk Beauty is a specialty of the Golden Roc Kingdom in the Western Regions. However, after the Golden Roc Kingdom fell 50 years ago, no one could make it anymore. Now, there are very few Drunk Beauty left in the world. Do you know how much a bottle of Drunk Beauty costs on the black market?"

Without waiting for Lan Ya to answer, Lu Xiaofeng stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of her. "Two hundred gold, a whole two hundred gold!"

Lan Ya looked at the banknotes. "The banknotes are only worth fifty taels, but the fragrance of the wine is worth two hundred gold?

Isn't the value of this fake amount a bit low? "

"It's not strange. The characteristic of Drunk Beauty is that its fragrance assails the nose. There's no need to come into direct contact with the wine. As long as you're in the same room, you can also smell the wine."

Lu Xiaofeng fiddled with the banknotes and said, "So, this banknote must have appeared in a very luxurious place."

"Then how do you want to investigate?"

However, Lu Xiaofeng said, "You go up first. I think the young master must have a lot of things to tell you."

Lan Ya felt that Lu Xiaofeng's expression was very strange. It was as if he already knew what Hua Manlou wanted to say to her.

"Playing riddles with you people is really too taxing on my brain!" Lan Ya muttered and went upstairs.

When she saw Hua Manlou again, he had changed into a white gown.

The white gown matched his handsome face. Sitting in the room, he simply looked like a celestial being who had descended to earth. His entire body was glowing.

Hua Manlou heard the sound and looked at Lan Ya. "Miss Lan Ya, you're here."

"I didn't say anything. How did Sir Hua know it was me?"
