Chapter 275: Urging Progress
After hearing this explanation from his fellow villager, Fan Xian felt that the originally huge matter suddenly became insignificant.
Am I making too much of a fuss?
Fan Xian thought secretly.
Mei Cheng'an saw him in a daze and tapped the table.
"What are you thinking about? Are you going?"
Fan Xian came back to his senses and didn't react for a moment, so he asked subconsciously.
"Where are you going?"
Mei Cheng'an sneered and looked at him as if he were a fool.
"It's the secret door of Taiping Villa. Where else can it lead to? I thought about it and thought it might be a good idea for you to go there.
If you see anything in there, come out and tell me. This will satisfy my curiosity without me having to go on an adventure. Perfect!"
"..."
Fan Xian was so angry that he laughed, and then his face changed and he started to scold.
"Fuck you, milk spoon, can you please put away your dirty thoughts? Your calculations are almost deafening my ears. It seems that your life is yours and mine is not, right? Get out!"
Mei Cheng'an covered his ears, leaned back to avoid his spit, and said with disgust and impatience.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. What the hell are you yelling about? Not only are you making so much noise, you're also swearing at me. Can you please pay attention to your manners?"
Fan Xian uttered a "huh", slapped the table and stood up.
"I'm going to follow you today..."
Mei Chengan simply reached out to interrupt the spell.
"Stop, don't get excited, I said something wrong, it's me who has no manners, not you, okay? Sit, sit, sit, oh, sit!"
Fan Xian rolled up his sleeves, glared at him fiercely, and sat down.
"You're smart!"
Mei Chengan smiled and picked up the teapot to pour him a cup of tea.
"Yes, yes, you are right. Okay, stop making trouble. What else is in the box besides the letter?"
Fan Xian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then he thought about it and smiled at him.
"you guess!"
Mei Cheng'an immediately stopped smiling and rolled his eyes.
"Get lost! No more guessing!"
Fan Xian crossed his arms and smiled.
"I'll give you three chances. If you can guess correctly within three times, I'll go out on the street and introduce myself loudly, saying that I'm just a nobody, and I'll admit that you're the real Immortal Poet.
If you can't guess correctly... I won't make it difficult for you. You don't have to do it in public. Just call me godfather in person and admit that you are inferior to me. That's all.
How about it? Do you dare to play? "
Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows.
"Are you willing to risk it all just to lure me in? Aren't you afraid of social ruin?
Let me remind you, times have changed. Your fame has skyrocketed.
Once you do this, do you know how much of a sensation it will cause? I advise you to think carefully again. "
Fan Xian was certain that his fellow villagers would never guess it, so he was full of confidence.
"Don't think about it, just tell me whether you dare to gamble or not."
Mei Chengan smiled helplessly.
"For your sake, let's just forget it."
Fan Xian stretched out his hand.
"No, that's unnecessary. Just think about yourself. You don't have to think about me. Thank you."
Mei Chengan smiled and shook his head.
"No gambling!"
Fan Xian snorted.
"If you don't dare, then don't dare. Look at your cowardice. You're still thinking about me. Haha, okay, since you admit your fear directly, I'll sue..."
Mei Chengan smiled and interrupted him.
"I only said I don't gamble, I didn't say I don't guess. I didn't guess before because I wasn't interested, but now I'm interested again."
Fan Xian didn't care. He had already scared off his fellow villagers. He shrugged contentedly.
"Okay, take a guess. I can even give you a hint. That thing is really awesome. It can be called a bug."
"Just make a bold guess and let your imagination run wild. If you can guess it right, I'll consider you awesome."
Mei Cheng'an rested his elbows on the table, stroking his chin with his right hand, and spoke as if he was thinking.
"Bug-level existence, meaning it is not a product of this world. Very awesome, meaning this thing can also be used here, and it is a big use. It is either explosives or weapons.
Explosives are disposable, and your box is not big, so you can't put much explosives in it. It's awesome, but it can't be called a bug.
That's the weapon. According to your box, it seems that it can only hold guns. Pistols are not very useful in this world.
Then it can only be a rifle. If a rifle wants to exert its true power, the number of bullets is a big problem!
Given the limited number of bullets and the fact that it is a long gun, the only weapon that can be considered a bug-level lethal weapon seems to be a sniper rifle."
Mei Cheng'an smiled and looked at the dumbfounded Fan Xian.
"Am I right?"
"..."
Fan Xian opened his mouth, dumbfounded and speechless.
Mei Chengan smiled and continued.
“It seems that I guessed right. I don’t know much about sniper rifles. I only know the most famous ones.
Like Barrett, AWM, AMR, and 98k.
Forget about the 98k, its power is a bit inferior to the previous ones, and it is not easy to disassemble and assemble. As for the previous ones...
Then I can’t guess, which model is in the box? "
Fan Xian answered subconsciously.
"Barrett."
Mei Chengan smiled and said "oh".
Fan Xian closed his mouth.
"Fuck! No! Hey, I just gave you a random hint, and you guessed it so easily?
This is too outrageous, are you still human? If I hadn't confirmed that you didn't have the conditions, I would have suspected that you had installed surveillance on me!
You...really have something, okay, okay, you are awesome, I'm convinced! I'm convinced!"
Mei Chengan laughed out loud.
"Isn't this all thanks to your reminder? It's your reminder. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When will I be able to play with a sniper rifle? I've never seen the real thing."
Fan Xian thought for a moment and said.
"Come to me in the evening and we can study it together. I was so busy reading the letter that I didn't have time to study it carefully."
Mei Chengan made a gesture.
"ojbk!"
Fan Xian hummed and began to pick up the letters on the table.
"It's almost time. Wan'er should be awake by now. I have to go find her and put the key back."
Mei Cheng'an nodded without saying anything.
Fan Xian folded the letter and put it in his arms, then stood up.
"I'm leaving first. By the way, I'll tell you the news I heard from the princess last night when you come to see me tonight."
After a pause, Fan Xian continued.
"Also, I have thought of a way to deal with the eldest princess. Let's discuss it together tonight. Please help me with the advice."
Mei Cheng'an also stood up.
"Okay, I got it. You should take care of the key issue first, and we can talk about the rest tonight." Fan Xian nodded, and the two walked out together.
……
Not long after seeing Fan Xian off, just when Mei Cheng'an was about to take a nap, another guest came.
"Who are you talking about? Versace?"
Sweet potato nodded.
"It's him, Master, do you want to see him?"
Mei Cheng'an thought about it and nodded.
"Yes, go and bring him in."
"Yes!"
Sweet potato left immediately.
Mei Cheng'an turned over and got out of bed, kicking off his boots while guessing what Versace's sudden visit was all about.
A moment later, in the front hall.
"A rare guest, Sizhe, what do you want from me?"
……
Royal Villa.
"Enter the palace?"
Lin Wan'er, who was embroidering, stopped what she was doing and looked at Fan Xian, who was sitting next to him and sipping the pear soup made for her by her maid Xiaoxi.
Fan Xian sat cross-legged and looked at her, scooped a spoonful of pear soup into his mouth, and then nodded.
Lin Wan'er turned her head back to look at the embroidery and continued threading the needle.
"It's not difficult. I grew up in the palace since I was a child. Entering the palace is like going home."
Fan Xian drank another spoonful and said after swallowing it.
"We have to find a way to get into the Queen Mother's bedroom."
Lin Wan'er paused, glanced at him, and continued to lead the way.
"That's fine. The Queen Mother treats me very well, so I should go visit her."
Fan Xian increased the bet again.
"You have to take me in."
This time Lin Wan'er didn't look at him. She pondered for a moment and said.
"Well... that's fine. After all, our marriage is already decided, and we should go to the palace together to see the Queen Mother."
Fan Xian put down the spoon and raised his hand.
"That's not what I meant. I meant that you should bring me in without letting others know it's me."
Lin Wan'er looked up at him.
"You mean, you can't enter the palace as Fan Xian?"
Fan Xian nodded and drank the soup.
Lin Wan'er was curious.
"Then what is your identity?"
With soup in his mouth, Fan Xian answered vaguely.
"The eunuch accompanying you!"
"what?"
Lin Wan'er was stunned.
When Fan Xian saw her strange look, he thought she must have misunderstood, so he quickly put down the spoon, swallowed the food and explained.
"Pretending to be a eunuch, it's fake, I'm not really a eunuch!"
Lin Wan'er's pretty face turned red and she looked down at the embroidery.
"Who, who cares whether you are real or fake? Why are you explaining this to me?"
Fan Xian smiled.
"is that OK."
Lin Wan'er raised her head and said without thinking.
"No problem, but since you want to pretend to be a eunuch."
As she spoke, she looked at Fan Xian.
"Then you have to look like a eunuch."
Fan Xian didn't quite understand.
"what?"
Lin Wan'er gave a mysterious smile.
Fan Xian: "..."
……
The courtyard of Mei Mansion.
After paying his respects to Mei Cheng'an, Versace looked around.
"Boss An, where is my brother? Didn't he say he was coming to see you?"
Mei Cheng'an gestured for him to enter the teahouse.
"You just left not long ago. Are you here to look for him?"
Versace sat down and said.
"That's right and that's not right. To be precise, I came here to look for you two. If he's not there, I can look for Boss An or you can too."
Mei Cheng'an nodded and picked up the teapot to pour him a cup of tea.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Versace held the teacup and drank it in no hurry.
"Is that so, Boss An? I won't keep you in suspense."
"My brother wrote hundreds of poems in one go last night, half of which he collaborated with Boss An."
"Now the news has spread all over the world, saying that you two are immortals from heaven who have come to save the literary world of Qing Kingdom."
"This is what I think. Now is a great time to make money while you two are at the peak of your popularity and fame!"
"We have to print those poems quickly. I've already thought of a title for the book. It's called Poetry God! What do you think, Boss An?"
Versace is indeed the future top business tycoon, his business sense is so sharp, Mei Chengan sighed and then spoke.
"I think it's good. If you want to print it, then go ahead. I have signed the copyright to you. I have no objection."
Versace sighed.
"I want to print it, too. The bookstore has already prepared it, but the problem is that it's stuck at the Supervisory Council. I can only print it after the Supervisory Council approves it.
Time waits for no one. So many readers are eagerly waiting for this collection of poems. If we are late by a moment, we will lose a lot of money.
I heard from my brother that, Boss An, you are also a supervisor of the Supervisory Council, right? Can you help me to speed up the review progress of the Supervisory Council?"
"Oh! This matter."
Mei Chengan thought for a while and said.
"There's no need to rush. The Overwatch Council is just going through a simple process and will release it today. Don't worry."
Versace's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
……
