Seeing my surprised expression, the middle-aged woman smiled and cast a glance at Zhou Botong with deep affection. She scolded,"You really can't change this habit of yours. Didn't you see that he's been here for a long time? Why didn't you invite him in!”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said anxiously,"Oh…you're welcome. I don't need to sit. Let's talk here. There are so many flowers and trees in this courtyard, and the air is fresh.”
Zhou Botong grabbed my arm and shouted happily,"Haha…little brother, you're indeed extraordinary. You actually saw the benefits of my Centaurea Valley. It's rare…really rare. I'm definitely going to have you as my friend!”
I smiled and turned to face the beautiful middle-aged woman."This senior, are you Aunt Ru?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman revealed a surprised expression. She looked at me in confusion and muttered,"Little brother, how do you know my name? Where have you heard of me?!"
I didn't answer her question because I was already stunned. I didn't expect this! They were really Zhou Botong and his wife, oh my god! Why did the game set up these two NPCs here? Could it be…Could it be a hidden mission?
I was excited at the thought of the hidden mission. I wasn't a newbie who hadn't played online games before, so I knew the benefits of the hidden mission. Therefore…I excitedly grabbed Zhou Botong's hand and sincerely said,"Senior, I heard that you live here, so I specially came to take a look and see if there's anything you need my help with. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely die!”
Zhou Botong laughed out loud." Little brother, you must be joking. I, Zhou Botong, am also an expert of my generation. Why would I need someone else to do something for me?" Is there anything I, an old brat, can't do?”
Just as he was about to continue, the beautiful woman walked up and said with a sad expression,"Child…seeing you…reminds me of my poor child. If he was still alive, he would definitely be as beautiful as you. Unfortunately…"
At this point, the beautiful woman took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. Then she continued,"Sigh…I'm useless. I can't protect my child. I miss my child so much!”
After feeling sad for a while, the beautiful woman raised her head and looked at me with an expectant gaze. She nervously said,"Little brother, Old Wan Tong and I have recently developed a Youth Rejuvenation Pill. As long as we have this pill, Bo Tong and I will be able to regain our youth. At that time…we will be able to have another child, so…"
Looking at the beautiful woman's troubled eyes, I knew that the show was coming again. I hurriedly continued,"Madam, don't worry. Just say it…If there's anything you need me to do, I won't decline. No matter how difficult it is, I will do it for you!”
The beautiful woman looked at me in surprise. She hesitated for a moment before slowly saying,"It's like this, we've already researched the medicinal properties, but…we need to find the ingredients to make the Youth Rejuvenation Pill, so…we would like to ask you to help us prepare these ingredients!”
I patted my chest and said boldly,"Don't worry. No matter how precious or difficult those medicinal herbs are, I will help you get them. Give me the list of medicinal herbs you need!”
The beautiful woman looked at me gratefully before taking out a piece of parchment and handing it to me. I took it and looked at it. There was a 10,000-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, a 10,000-year-old ginseng, two 10,000-year-old Vermilion Fruits, a Bear King Gall, and a Tiger King Whip.
I was tongue-tied as I raised my head and stared blankly at the middle-aged woman."You…you want…you want these things?”
The middle-aged woman blushed and was about to say something when Zhou Botong interrupted,""Oh…no, we need a total of more than 30 kinds of medicinal herbs, but we can get the rest. It's just that we don't know where to get these things. We've been looking for them for many years, but we can't find them.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman rolled her eyes at Zhou Botong, scaring him so much that he quickly hid behind me and tightly grabbed my back. After a helpless smile, the beautiful woman helplessly said,"Little brother, I know it's hard to get these things, but…we can only ask you to help us. Don't worry…as long as you can help us, I will definitely repay you!”
I looked at the list in my hand and thought about the difficulty of the mission. Finally, I thought about the benefits of completing the mission. I gritted my teeth and did it…I couldn't find such a good thing even if I wanted to. How could I let it go!
Thinking of this, I quickly put the list of medicines into my pocket. I cupped my fists at the two of them and said firmly,"Don't worry, I won't let you down. One day, I will give you these herbs!”
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, Zhou Botong grabbed my clothes and refused to let me go. I looked at him in confusion and then at the beautiful woman, not knowing what he wanted to do.
The beautiful woman shook her head helplessly and looked at Zhou Botong gently." Sigh…Don't blame him. He hasn't seen anyone for a long time, so he's very lonely. He just wants you to play with him for a while. I wonder if little brother…"
Loneliness…Who knows the feeling of loneliness better than me? I, who had no friends, deeply understood the feeling of loneliness. It was a pain that went deep into my bones!
Thinking of this, I made a decision. I won't go level up or hunt for treasures in the remaining time I'm online. I want to stay and play with Zhou Botong. For him…and for myself…
