Chapter 321: The Pseudo-Three Kingdoms in the Desert
He lied to her, saying that he only had a few points left before he could go home.
In the last few worlds, Bai Qingyun completed his missions with all his might, just to get closer to home.
Not telling her was her last hope.
A person living without hope is like a walking corpse. He didn't want to see her decadent look.
Fortunately, they did not give up.
Relying on his reputation in the system world, he negotiated with the main system, using all of his and Bai Qingyun's points, including all the props in the warehouse, as bargaining chips, in exchange for just one chance for Bai Qingyun to start over.
After they came back, they were penniless, and even he who had returned to his peak was reduced to his original state again...
Now, the time has come.
Bai Qingyun listened quietly. The number of people drinking increased from one to two.
The originally brand new table was now piled high with wine jugs.
Finally, the two of them each held a wine jar and drank from each other.
"Yes... hiccup~ I'm sorry, host. I didn't know why I had such thoughts at that time."
Zhuzi hugged the wine jar and cried loudly. She was afraid that the newly-brewed wine had all turned into tears.
"But don't worry, I have...turned over a new leaf, really! I swear to God! Apart from stealing ten ginseng chicken stews made by Michelin from the ring yesterday, I really didn't lie to you about anything else!"
The drunken little hands thumped.
Bai Qingyun did not blame him, but just looked at him with a smile. The system program did not allow for the possibility of drunkenness!
It’s just that the things of the past can only be spoken of with the aroma of wine.
"Alright~" Bai Qingyun waved his hand to dispel the unpleasant smell of bamboo burping: "I am not saying this today to pursue the matter."
It was like a golden medal of immunity from death, illuminating Zhuzi's black eyes.
"Do you feel a sense of familiarity with Luban and the others?" she asked hesitantly.
Zhuzi had no doubts: "It is certain that you must have lost a part of your memory before you bound me, and they most likely appeared at that time. It is normal to feel a sense of familiarity when you meet again!"
When strangers walk down the street, they may mistake someone for a familiar silhouette, let alone two people they know. This familiar memory will leave a trace even if it is erased. Isn't this normal?
Bai Qingyun naturally knew that what Zhuzi said made sense, but he didn't intend to let it go.
She changed from drinking to small sips, picked up the wine cup, and drank the rice wine mixed with the aroma of osmanthus. It had a mellow and rich taste, with a strong aroma of osmanthus and a slight sweetness.
After drinking several cups, she suppressed her worries and continued to ask, "Do you still remember our mission to travel through the desert?" She reminded him with a deliberately heavy accent.
Bamboo received the key words, and his memory was quickly awakened: "I remember... the master's mission at that time was to solve the slavery of those living at the bottom of the desert."
Bai Qingyun nodded. It seemed that their memories were in sync, so the conversation went much more smoothly again.
"Yes, the desert was divided into three parts at that time, just like the three kingdoms during the Three Kingdoms period."
"The Kingdom of Moying in the northeast has a natural sand wall as a barrier and is adjacent to the grasslands, so it has never participated in the fighting. Although the people there do not live a rich life, they can barely make a living because of the trade with the grasslands."
Bamboo: "I remember the host once wanted to cross the barrier, but the wind and sand wall changes with the wind direction. Mo Ying is in the shade, while the other two countries are in the sun, which is like casting a shadow on the other two countries."
Bai Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was also thinking of that unpleasant memory: "Yes, if it weren't for the sand that was always hot under the sun, I would have passed through the barrier with my own ability long ago."
A desert dwelling that is habitable must meet two conditions: one is a water source, and the other is a cool place in the desert.
The establishment of those three countries was based on these two factors.
It is precisely because of these restrictions that it is difficult for the three desert countries to expand their territory. Except for where they live, the rest of the places have very long sunshine hours. The temperature of the sand can reach 50 or 60 degrees at night, and 80 or even over 100 degrees during the day.
And that barrier, because of its height and geographical location, became the hottest place in the desert.
"In the end, it was because of your props that I was able to see the bird's-eye view of the Desert Shadow Kingdom from afar."
The props used are drones made of high-temperature resistant metal.
Because the materials are scarce, a lot of points are required. Only after Bai Qingyun completes the task and adds the points he has accumulated before can he afford this luxury item.
But points are too important to Bai Qingyun, so she naturally cannot hand them over easily.
However, the mission in this world has been completed, and I will soon move to the next world. If I don’t take a final look at it, it will be like reading an unfinished novel, which will make me itchy.
In the end, there was really no other way, so she negotiated with Zhuzi for a long time and finally rented it for a day to see the true face of the Moying Kingdom.
Although there is still yellow sand there, there are occasional plants. From the pictures, it is not difficult to see the scene of people planting trees. It is not difficult to imagine that this place will be green in the future.
Zhuzi looked at Bai Qingyun and saw a smile on his face. The smile showed a yearning for life and dispelled some of the fear brought by amnesia.
"Fortunately, Mo Ying has no impact on the host's mission. Otherwise, the mission would not have been completed so smoothly! The royal family of Sand Sea alone is enough to give us a headache."
Bai Qingyun knew what Zhuzi meant. If the Moying Kingdom had intervened, it would have been difficult to track them down, let alone complete the mission.
"Yes, the royal family of the Sand Sea Kingdom in the west simply occupied a large underground river and declared themselves king. They even enslaved the people to cultivate the land for them and went deep into the desert to search for treasures to exchange for supplies with several western countries."
Zhuzi continued, "This is not just the case in the Sand Sea country, the same is true for the Sand Region Alliance in the southeast."
Unlike the Sand Sea Kingdom and the Desert Shadow Kingdom, the Sand Alliance is composed of countless small desert tribes.
Those tribes lived near tributaries of the underground river and desert oases, and eventually gathered in the main city of Sand City.
Sand City is the capital of the Sand Alliance. Because it is located in the upper reaches of the underground river, it determines the survival of the downstream and occupies a dominant position in the Sand Alliance.
Even the people of the Sand Sea and many small tribes with dried-up riverbeds will migrate and eventually come to the Sand City.
Bai Qingyun's mission this time is to go to the Colosseum in the center of Sand City, which is a place for trading and viewing and can accommodate nearly 20,000 people.
What is traded are women, and what is watched is the primitive, instinctive, bloody struggle between men and men, and between men and beasts!
