Chapter 345: Another Monkey-like Agent
The vivid ink fell on the blank paper. With each stroke, Xia Simeng drew a picture with the sun on its head, and a phoenix... uh... should I say it's a phoenix-like figure. The phoenix-like figure in the painting lowered its pointed mouth, as if eating unidentified objects below.
Xia Simeng looked very focused, but finally he felt that something was missing. He looked at it for a long time before he suddenly realized it. He put down the brush again, and outlined irregular silk lines on the round sun before stopping, making the sun look as if it was really emitting sunlight.
"Everyone, please look, this... is the real skill."
Xia Simeng confidently held up the scroll, then turned around on the spot and showed the front of the picture to everyone present.
"Xiao Mingming, this special skill of mine is something that cannot be easily ignored. I will definitely win first place. At least I will be rewarded with a magical weapon. Hurry and throw it down."
When the members of the Phoenix team saw how confident their captain was, and saw the magical phoenix in the painting, big question marks appeared in their little heads. Noticing Xia Simeng's overflowing confidence, they could only smile awkwardly, then covered their foreheads and turned away from looking at the picture of the phoenix eating rice.
Wang Mian, Chen Muye and others also had their faces twitching when they saw the indecipherable scene in the painting.
People nowadays!
It seems that he really has no idea!
Hundreds of people were extremely strange. Each of them opened their mouths, but could not utter even a word. They were asked to comment.
They feel... unworthy... The people in the world who are worthy of evaluating Phoenix paintings must be true artists, and they are all vulgar people, only worthy of watching, not evaluating; only worthy of buying, not paying.
Hongying was more direct. She raised her hand and scratched her head: "If that's all, I think I can get first place."
"Yingzi, wait a moment." Xia Simeng held Hongying, who was about to start, and said, "Let me collect the reward first. It's not too late for you to draw later. If you want to get the wool, you must come one by one. This morning, we two sisters have made Xiao Mingming a pauper."
"Xiao Mingming, hurry up, don't dawdle there, throw down a magical weapon first."
"Your courage is commendable." Li Shaoming twitched the corner of his mouth, then slowly clapped his hands: "It must be said, no matter what the painting is like, your shameless character will definitely rank first."
"A good job deserves a reward."
Li Shaoming took out a mask and threw it down casually: "A fake artifact mask, just like the one An Qingyu opened before, it can change appearance and shape, and can also conceal aura."
"Thank you, boss. You're so generous." Xia Simeng happily accepted it and threw the Phoenix-like picture aside. After playing with it for a while, she looked up again and said, "Look, Xiao Mingming, I have another unique skill. I'm sure I can get a magical artifact this time."
"Eh... handsome brother is partial. Who here doesn't have a unique skill like Sister Xia? We also want a fake artifact."
"The woman is in love with the man, and with both the man and the woman looking good, it's normal for the boss to be a little partial. But... boss, look here... Actually, underneath this man's skin, I'm actually a stunningly beautiful woman. We're a match made in heaven!"
"Stop arguing, do you still want the reward? Hurry up and use all the talents you've learned in the first half of your life!"
"Hahaha, buddy has a unique skill called Speed Hands. Who wants to come up and try it out?"
"serious?"
"Of course it's serious."
"Tsk...who seriously wants to play with the Speed Hands skill? You should just go play with it in the corner by yourself."
This morning show lasted until after nine o'clock. Hongying also performed a talent show in the middle. Her painting was more abstract than Xia Simeng's, and she received a long sword as a reward.
It wasn't just Xia Simeng and Hongying. At the end of the talent show, even Lin Qiye and the others couldn't help but perform 300 Tang poems when they saw the treasures being given out one by one.
He immediately won the applause of the whole audience, and the reward was also the best in the whole venue, a silver-white long sword emitting a destructive aura.
"Okay, the event is over." Li Shaoming raised his hand to scratch his hair and yawned loudly. Then, with a thought, the door of the store opened instantly. "You know the rules. You can open the store as long as you pay. Qiye, please help explain the items you have seen. I will wash up and make something to eat first."
"no problem."
The Night Squad, the Mask Squad, the Phoenix Squad, and the 136 Squad all walked to the front desk and began to explain the functions of the items to others.
Shen Qingzhu did not join in, but openly scanned the crowd with his mobile phone. There was an ultra-high-definition group photo on the screen, and he quickly spotted seven slightly dressed people in the crowd.
Then he took a photo openly and sent it to someone in his address book before joining the explanation.
Anyang City.
On a busy street, a little girl in school uniform and two ponytails was walking in the crowd. Her sparkling eyes met the gaze of a man in a black suit in front of her.
Xiao Bei, dressed in a black suit, raised his hand and pushed his silver-framed glasses, a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth: "Senior Sister, you are really persistent. You killed more than ten of my clones in a few days. If you can't find my real body, you can't kill me."
The person wearing the school uniform is Si Xiaonan. She has been using Guan Zai and Alice to search for Xiaobei, the agent of the God of Trickery, these days.
However, as Xiaobei said, all they found were clones similar to projections, and they couldn't find Xiaobei's real body at all.
He was as agile as a monkey, which made Xiaonan feel helpless.
"Senior Sister, to be honest, we are from the same sect after all, so there is no deep hatred or resentment between us. Besides, I have never committed any crime in Da Xia. You don't have to keep holding me accountable, right?"
Xiaonan was helpless, and Xiaobei was also helpless. He felt that he was too careless in luring Xiaonan out to meet him before. If it weren't for his previous actions, he wouldn't have to hide now.
Cangzidian didn't dare to go there either. He knew that Cangnan was full of monsters, and the night watchmen stationed in Cangnan were much stronger than him.
As a rational man, Xiaobei didn't dare to gamble with his life. He wondered if he would be found when he went to the jar shop.
"I didn't commit any crime?" Xiaonan frowned. "Before becoming Loki's agent, I committed at least eighty crimes, if not a hundred. The most serious one was a conspiracy to murder a family of five. Do you want me to tell you everything?"
"Oh my!" Xiaobei scratched his head in annoyance. "Even this has been discovered. The Daxia machine is truly terrifying when it's in operation. Since there's no room for negotiation, Senior Sister can't find my true form. Is she going to keep hunting me down?"
"How about you just leave now, Senior Sister? I promise not to mess around in Da Xia anymore. How about that?"
"Your promise is worthless." Xiaonan came in front of Xiaobei without knowing when, and stabbed out with the knife in his hand: "Don't worry, you can't escape."
Xiaonan saw Xiaobei disappear, slowly retracted the knife, turned around and left the street.
In the tide of people coming and going, no one could notice the movements of the two agents of deception, who were still hurrying on their way.
