HCB Chapter 153 System Restart
Chapter 153 System Restart
After the four of them settled their luggage, Hu Bayi went out to find his friend.
Ak is a rare, divinely inspired singer, and his reputation is well-known in the area; one can easily find out about him with just a little inquiry.
While Hu Bayi was searching for Ak, Cheng Feng and his two companions wandered around the area.
This place differs from Golmud and has a unique ethnic style.
The residents wore traditional Tibetan robes and carried animal bones as decorations.
I'm not surprised to see these outsiders. With the completion of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, many people pass through here every year.
"Old Cheng, there's something Old Hu and I have been wanting to ask you, but we haven't had the chance yet."
Fatty Wang's expression was different from usual; he seemed somewhat solemn.
"What is it? Tell me about it."
As Cheng Feng walked, he asked curiously.
The fat man organized his thoughts and began to speak:
"Before you sent people to find me and Lao Hu, we went to the research institute to look for you."
Chu Jian told us at the time that you participated in another archaeological expedition and went missing during it.
Cheng Feng shook his head and said:
"It wasn't that I disappeared, but that I left on purpose."
The reason I joined that archaeological team was because someone was plotting against me.
So I took advantage of the opportunity to go down into the tomb to escape from this predicament.
There's nothing to hide from Fatty Wang and the others; their character is trustworthy.
The fat man frowned, his entire chubby face contorted into wrinkles.
"No wonder you told us not to mention your news to others."
Yang Xueli seemed to be deep in thought at this moment, and suddenly she said in a deep voice:
"Could it be that someone in the archaeological team leaked Cheng Feng's information, which is why he was being targeted?"
Fatty Wang suddenly clapped his hands.
"I just remembered something. When Lao Hu and I went to the research institute to see you, Xiao Sa mentioned it briefly."
They said that Ye Yixin suddenly resigned.
Cheng Feng also understood why he had suddenly been targeted; it seemed that the problem lay with Ye Yixin.
The fat man was somewhat discouraged again.
"There's no point in talking about this now. Fortunately, Lao Cheng is living a pretty good life now."
Yang Xueli said seemingly casually:
"Old Cheng, you're not really safe in China. Why don't you go to the US for a while?"
That way, I can fulfill my duty as a host.
Fatty Wang fell silent, but inwardly he thought: This isn't being a good host, it's stealing a man!
"I also want to go abroad and see the world, but I have hundreds of brothers who depend on me for their livelihood, so I can't leave."
Cheng Feng could only politely decline Yang Xueli's offer again.
Yang Xueli didn't dwell on the topic, and the three of them chatted as they walked towards the hotel.
When they returned, they saw two SUVs, which are very rare in China, parked in front of the hotel.
"The hotel owner really hit the jackpot; people who can afford a car like that are never short of money."
Fatty Wang eyed the two SUVs with a hint of envy.
As I arrived at the hotel entrance, I happened to see a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman walking out with a heavily made-up, glamorous woman in his arms.
The two groups exchanged a glance, the middle-aged man's gaze lingering on the fat man for a moment.
They then exchanged polite smiles and passed each other.
"What a coincidence!"
After Cheng Feng and his group entered the courtyard, the middle-aged businessman chuckled and sighed softly.
"Honey, what are you saying?"
The alluring woman asked curiously.
"That fat guy was the one we originally planned to cooperate with."
The woman covered her mouth in surprise.
"Could it be that their goal is also..."
"It should be right. Perfect timing. We'll visit them in person tonight. They shouldn't refuse if we have that thing."
At this moment, on the shore of Xueshan Lake in Shiquanhe Town,
Hu Bayi met with Ak, an old friend he met when he was in the army.
The two reminisced about their glorious past, and finally Hu Bayi revealed the purpose of their trip.
Ak hesitated when he heard that the target was the Demon Kingdom, but Hu Bayi eventually brought up the matter of the curse.
That's what convinced Ak to agree to help this time.
Things are progressing smoothly on Hu Bayi's side, and good news has also arrived on Cheng Feng's side.
'Ding~ System restart'
Host has not completed the task:
1. Eliminate sea monkeys, 139/18
Reward: Six Arts of the Water Demon (Incomplete)
2. Remove the forbidden woman, 3/1
Reward: 3 Beauty Elixir Pills (Incomplete)
A full year has passed since we peered behind the bronze door to uncover the ultimate truth.
The system finally restarted and restored the display of unfinished tasks.
Cheng Feng planned to complete the two underwater tomb missions when he had the chance, originally in order to complete the multiple clearing mission.
However, as time went on, Chen Wenjin and her friends became prone to anxiety.
Especially in the future, when they see Cheng Feng never aging while they start to get wrinkles, the beauty-preserving pill will be very necessary.
Although immortality is impossible, an ageless appearance can reduce many conflicts in Cheng Feng's family.
"Old Cheng, open the door quickly, Old Hu is back!"
Just then, Fatty knocked on the door, and Cheng Feng rolled off the bed.
Upon opening the door, they saw Yang Xueli and Fatty there, while Hu Bayi was waiting for them at the entrance.
"Old Hu's friend has agreed to help. Let's go to his house to discuss the next steps."
Yang Xueli lowered her voice and told Cheng Feng what had happened.
Cheng Feng then left the hotel with the three of them.
After Cheng Feng and the others left, the door to another room was pushed open a crack.
A young girl, not very old, peeked out from behind the camera, looking in the direction Cheng Feng and the others had left.
"How could there be such a person..."
Her expression was fearful, but a hint of curiosity lingered in her eyes as she murmured softly.
Akjia is not far from the snow mountain lake, and the surrounding area is covered with a thin layer of snow.
The wooden house is simple yet has a rustic charm.
Dong dong dong
Hu Bayi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, a noise came from inside, and after the door opened, Cheng Feng and his two companions finally saw this treasure of Tibet.
The divinely inspired poet Ak.
He was wearing a fur-lined leather jacket, and his skin was tanned dark from sitting by the lake for many years.
His messy hair and graying beard made him look somewhat weathered.
"Please come in, gentlemen. My place is rather simple, please don't mind."
Ak is a kind person who speaks slowly and deliberately.
As everyone entered the house, the warmth instantly dispelled the cold wind outside.
Although the house is made of wood, it is lined with animal fur, which perfectly insulates it from the cold air.
There was a stove burning in the room, and the orange-red flames shone through the stove onto everyone's faces.
Hu Bayi acted as an intermediary and introduced the two parties.
After exchanging names, everyone sat around the stove.
Ak also began to talk about the history of the Demon Kingdom.
According to the poems, the Demon Kingdom was cruel and tyrannical during its reign, and young women from families were often taken away.
He is also prone to killing people at will.
Finally, with the combined efforts of Master Ujangna and King Invincible Jewel, the Demon Kingdom was eradicated.
He then sealed the demons and monsters into the nine-story demon tower, so that they would never see the light of day again.
"Old Cheng, tell me what you know."
After listening to Ak's account of the Demon Kingdom, Hu Bayi said to Cheng Feng.
