Chapter 256 - A Journey in Search of Memories (V)

This time, Lu Mingze's bracelet can display the tasks, which are tasks one, two, three, four, five, and six. The progress of task one is 0.11, and the same is true for task two.

It turns out that accepting a task will give you 0.1 progress, so as long as you complete six tasks, you can restore your memory.

If it's just about finding gold or killing bandits, it shouldn't be a difficult task, right?

After hearing the armor's assignment, Cao Qian clicked her finger joints and said calmly, "I think the bandits can be left to me."

After saying that, she tried to kick her legs, which made a very scary sound of breaking wind. If this kick had hit someone, it would probably have been fatal.

Lu Mingze was not afraid, but felt particularly safe. Cao Qian is such a strong woman. It is so lucky to have such a teammate.

"The offices on the fourth floor are filled with beings like me," Armor continued, answering Cao Qian's previous question. "Every night, spiritual objects in the City Lord's Mansion transform into monsters, carrying on the memories of their past lives. When you enter an office on the fourth floor, you'll feel everything is calm and normal, but when you're not paying attention, the table will want your bones for legs, the chair your spine for a backrest, the sofa will want human skin, and even the wall clock will want a human tongue to tell the time."

"So terrifying?" Lu Mingze exclaimed in shock. "Then it seems you really are a good person. Your demonic energy shortening human lifespans is passive, but their actions are active."

"Is that so?" The praised armored iron piece said with a hint of joy. "Actually, you're lucky. If you hadn't stopped on the third floor to watch the sunset, you'd have been in the office at dusk when the monsters woke up. That would have been disastrous. I was also trying to snatch people from the monsters on the fourth floor, so I warned you."

"Rob people?" Lu Mingze laughed. "So you've been using your own methods to protect those who strayed into the City Lord's Mansion. Without you controlling their bodies, they might have been torn apart by the monsters long ago. If it were me, I would rather shorten my lifespan than become part of a table, chair, or wall clock."

"Huh?" The armor was given a noble mission that it had never thought of. "Am I so good? How come I didn't know?"

Cao Qian listened to the conversation between the two silently. After Lu Mingze said this, she reached out and picked up the armor, and pinched the iron sheet back into the shape of the armor like pinching mud. She could not remember what the armor originally looked like. Fortunately, Lu Mingze remembered it, and he gave Cao Qian some advice. After about half an hour, the armor returned to its original shape.

"Your hands are really strong." Lu Mingze said with emotion.

armor:"..."

Is this a matter of strength? Why does the prince always see things so rosyly?

"Then let's go upstairs. I'll remember our agreement." Lu Mingze patted his chest and said, "I must capture the bandits who harmed the residents and hand them over to you, the city guardian, for punishment."

After making the agreement, Lu Mingze and Cao Qian went upstairs together.

The armor left at the corner of the third floor fell into deep confusion. Am I the city's guardian? Am I?

I am.

The armor laughed happily, "clicking" and "clicking", and the sound of the armor parts colliding seemed particularly terrifying in the dark night.

But Lu Mingze and others upstairs were not afraid, because they knew that the armor was reminding people that the City Lord's Mansion was very dangerous at night and they should not enter easily.

Cao Qian was not afraid either, because she knew that the armor could not defeat her.

The two men and the goose climbed up the stairs. The dusty map was spread out on the table. The floor was in a mess. Books, parchments, office supplies and other items were thrown on the floor and trampled on.

"According to the armor, only the door, table, chair, bookcase, and wall clock in the office have living properties," Cao Qian said, touching the wall. "Why are there only these items?"

As soon as the two entered the room, the door closed. The armor had said that this door would lock people in and make it difficult to get out. But Cao Qian was not afraid, she could escape through the wall.

Lu Mingze looked at the dust and bloodstains on the wall, and also on the door, but there was no bloodstains on the chairs and the table. It seemed that it was not due to blood?

He thought carefully about what the armor had said and placed his fingers on the table.

"Be careful!" Cao Qian warned, "The table can hurt people."

"No," Lu Mingze squatted down and said, "The legs of this table are broken, and this corner is padded with small stones."

Armor told them that there was a kerosene lamp hanging in the corridor for lighting. Cao Qian used the method of drilling wood to make fire, used the wooden stairs to start a fire, and lit the kerosene lamp.

Lu Mingze held up the lamp and saw a small gap at the corner of the table.

"Also, the back of the chair is about to break." Lu Mingze said.

He stood on tiptoe to look at the clock again, and said with a gloomy face, "This clock can't make a sound to tell you when it's the hour."

"The leather on the sofa is also peeling off." Cao Qian followed Lu Mingze's thoughts and checked the items.

"Do you want someone to repair you?" Lu Mingze asked, "If you break down, you can't continue to work and will be eliminated. Is that why you need repairs?"

With a creaky sound, the old wooden door that was originally tightly closed opened.

"It's not broken." Cao Qian said after checking.

"After I guessed the reason why the other items had problems, it opened the door and let us find tools to repair them." Lu Mingze lightly touched the door frame.

The wooden door creaked, as if responding to Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingze said, "This is indeed a management and construction game. The key is to repair items and rebuild your home!"

Cao Qian: "…"

She felt that the game in her eyes and the game in Lu Mingze's eyes seemed to be of different kinds. This was clearly a place filled with evil aura. The whole room was gloomy and eerie, as if it could eat people.

Only Lu Mingze, who was standing in front of the wall clock holding a kerosene lamp, was shining like a little sun, illuminating the entire room.

"What should I do?" Lu Mingze said worriedly, "I should repair office equipment, but I don't know how."

Cao Qian wasn't good at this either. She was better at sabotage. She asked Linlin, "Can you do it?"

Swan Crystal played dead and said nothing.

At this time, Lu Mingze's bracelet began to heat up again, and the bracelet with the name "Guan Ling" engraved on it lit up.

The "Guan Ling" bracelet has only one horizontal line, which means that teammate Guan Ling has only one chance to come to this world and can only exist for one day.

However, Lu Mingze did not hesitate. He directly slapped the bracelet and asked for help from his teammate Guan Ling.

An ordinary middle-aged man appeared in the room. When he saw Cao Qian and Lu Mingze, he was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who are you?" Guan Ling looked at the two men warily.

"I'm looking for your help," Cao Qian said directly, not wanting to waste time chatting with this person, "Can you repair furniture?"

"Of course I can, after all, it's a necessary skill for a man to start a family, but who are you? Am I dreaming?" Guan Ling said, grabbing his hair.

"Stop talking nonsense and find tools to fix it!" Cao Qian punched the wall, and a hole suddenly appeared in the wall.

"I'll repair it!" Guan Ling immediately raised his hands, without asking or resisting, and completely surrendered to the powerful force.

Following the guidance of the door and the wall, they found a small compartment with tools and accessories. Guan Ling picked up a hammer and started working with it.

He was filled with questions, but Cao Qian was too powerful, so Guan Ling didn't dare ask. He always felt like the table and chairs were about to swallow him, but he didn't dare to say it.

Lu Mingze squatted beside him, holding the kerosene lamp for him, and said, "Hey, big brother, why are you here? Did you find the QR code somewhere?"

Guan Ling saw that he looked soft and harmless with a pair of black eyes like a small animal. Compared with the gloomy-faced pretty girl next to him, he looked like a little angel. He felt relieved and said, "It's strange. I was looking at the secret recipe of barbecue ingredients. Suddenly, a QR code appeared on the secret recipe. I scanned it, thinking it was a game, so I clicked it to enter."

Lu Mingze: "…"

Everyone entered the game so casually, and no one suspected it was a mobile phone virus or Trojan horse.

Lu Mingze was a great conversationalist, and seeing him listening intently and curiously, Guan Ling couldn't help but open up. "It's strange, but I got this secret barbecue recipe from somewhere, and I opened a mobile barbecue stall at the night market, and it was incredibly popular. I remember my experience running a barbecue stall, but the secret recipe was so delicious, I have no idea where I got it from."

After hearing his words, Cao Qian and Lu Mingze were shocked. It turned out to be another person with amnesia.

"Also, I'm a gambler. I lost everything, my wife and children left me, and my parents are in debt because of me. I wanted to quit gambling before, but I couldn't. I always wanted to make a fortune and pay off my debts. But... in the past two months, I suddenly don't want to gamble anymore." Guan Ling scratched his head and said, "Every time my old gambling friends ask me to go gambling, a voice pops up in my head, telling me that if I want to get my wife and children back, I have to be down-to-earth. Taking shortcuts is always the worst way."

Guan Ling smiled and said, "Many people have said these things to me before, but I always ignored them. This time, I was particularly convinced. I really didn't gamble anymore and focused on small business. I made a plan. If I keep working hard, I can pay off my debts and redeem the house in about five years. I'll need another five years to expand the business. Asking my wife for forgiveness is impossible, but in ten years, my child will go to college. At least I can afford the tuition and save money to buy a house for him. It sounds hard, but with a goal and a future, I don't feel tired anymore."

As he spoke, Guan Ling had already repaired all the furniture in the room, even patching up the wall Cao Qian had damaged. The only problem was the wall clock, which was rather complicated; this old-fashioned clock was rarely seen in the real world. Guan Ling fretted for a moment, then the bracelet on his wrist lit up. He reached out and tapped it, revealing a "Broken Mirror Reunited" skill that could be used three times within 24 hours.

After Guan Ling used it once, the wall clock immediately became as good as new, and instantly stood at the top of the furniture chain, becoming the newest one.

"There is such ability!" Guan Ling and Lu Mingze shook hands excitedly, thinking it was amazing!

Cao Qian looked at the wall clock and found it very magical, and her impression of Guan Ling changed slightly.

After finishing everything, Lu Mingze picked up the map on the table, and the furniture in the room did not stop him.

Lu Mingze waved to them and said, "Thank you. I will work hard to build the city. Sooner or later, this City Lord's Mansion will be completely renewed."

The night wind blew in from the window, turning the pages of the book, and the "rustling" sound seemed to be a response to Lu Mingze.
