I Just Won't Play By The Book

296 There Are Classes for Protagonists (2)

This was because the doctor in front of him was the most capable person he had ever seen since he was born. It was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

While Qian Xiaodong was anxiously waiting for an answer, three options popped up before Jiang Beiran’s eyes.

[Option 1: Promise Qian Xiaodong. [Completion Reward: Crystal Light Scripture (Earth Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 2: Keep Qian Xiaodong by my side for observation. [Completion Reward: White Rainbow Tyrannical Formation Diagram (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 3: Set a goal for Qian Xiaodong and let him complete it before coming back. [Completion Reward: Terrifying Dragon Devil Miasma (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 4: Refuse Qian Xiaodong directly. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

‘Good fellow…As expected, the Earth-rank option from before was because of this kid.’

Only those with the main character’s fate would have such treatment.

The reason Jiang Beiran had decided to get in touch with Qian Xiaodong himself was to confirm if he was the one who had triggered the Earth-rank mission. He also wanted to see what was so special about this kid.

Now that he had confirmed that Qian Xiaodong was also a young man with a protagonist’s name, Jiang Beiran could not help but compare the three ” protagonists ” he had met before.

In the end, he found out that although they were both protagonists, there was still a difference in level. Ye Fan, who could trigger the heaven-level option, was probably the real protagonist. Li Fucheng and Qian Xiaodong, who triggered the earth-level option, were not as good.

However, thinking about it carefully, it might not be that Ye Fan’s potential was greater than the other two. It was also possible that the trouble caused by interacting with Ye Fan would be greater than the other two.

Jiang Beiran did not think too deeply about this question. He decisively chose the fourth option. After all, he was already very certain that he would never become the protagonist’s big brother or master.

“I never take in disciples.” Jiang Beiran waved his hand and turned to leave.

“Doctor! Let’s discuss it again, let’s discuss it again.”Qian Xiaodong chased after Jiang Beiran all the way.” I’m very hardworking and I learn things very quickly. Please, please accept me.””

Just like that, Qian Xiaodong pestered Jiang Beiran all the way until they left the village.

“Doctor, are you thirsty? I have honey water. It’s especially sweet. I’ll give it to you.”

“Doctor, look! I caught a rabbit! I’ll roast it for you! The rabbit I roasted smells especially good!”

“Doctor, if you walk any further, you will reach Deling Town. Where are you going? I’m very familiar with that place. Let me show you the way.”

..

Looking at Qian Xiaodong who was extremely attentive along the way, Jiang Beiran could tell that this kid was very ambitious, the kind that would pounce on any opportunity he saw.

‘Tsk…But this doesn’t look like the main character.

The so-called protagonist had to appear to have no desires and be stupid. However, opportunities kept bumping into him, as if the Heavenly Dao was his grandmother. He always felt that he was not full and kept digging into his mouth to stuff food.

As for people like Qian Xiaodong…Instead, he was more like a villain.

He had his own ambitions, knew what he wanted, and would bite on the opportunity to become a tyrant. However, in the end, he still couldn’t avoid the tragic ending of being pressed to the ground by the protagonist.

Regardless, since he could see the potential in Qian Xiaodong to make a name for himself, it was worth investing in.

Just like Li Fucheng, he planted an array book and gained the World Association. He believed that Qian Xiaodong wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Arriving at Deling Town, Qian Xiaodong was indeed a passionate guide. He knew where there was good food, good drinks, fun, and even where there were beautiful girls.

Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but feel that these children who weren’t bound by school were really mature.

Passing by an inn, Qian Xiaodong jumped up the steps and introduced,””The roast duck in this Xilai Inn is the best in the nearby towns! Their rice wine was also very delicious.”

“You’ve eaten all of them?” Jiang Beiran asked curiously.”

Qian Xiaodong scratched his head in embarrassment.” I only heard about it through hearsay. How can I afford to eat the food in this restaurant?””

“Really?” Jiang Beiran asked again.

“Uh…” Looking at Jiang Beiran’s gaze on him, Qian Xiaodong chuckled and said,””I snuck into the kitchen and ate it twice. It’s really delicious.”

Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Beiran turned around and walked into Xilai Inn.

When he saw Jiang Beiran walking over, a waiter came out to greet him,””Sir, this way please. Are you here to wait or to stay?”

“Point.”

“Alright ~ Please come in.”

Seated at a table by the window, Jiang Beiran said,””I heard that your roast duck is not bad. Give me one and a pot of rice wine.”

” Alright, one Flower Stuffed Roast Duck and a pot of rice wine.” After reporting the dishes, the waiter continued,””Don’t worry, sir. This stuffed flower roast duck is our signature dish. I guarantee you’ll like it.”

After the waiter left, Qian Xiaodong sat on the stool and shook his legs happily. This was the first time he entered the inn from the main door. He felt that it was a good start for the doctor to bring him in for dinner. If he worked harder, he would definitely be able to move him with sincerity.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, the roast duck and rice wine were served.

At the same time, the waiter was holding a jar.

Jiang Beiran had thought that the jar was filled with herbs, but when he sniffed it, he realized that it wasn’t.

Placing the jar on the table, the waiter said with a smile,””Customer, this jar contains a kind of candy that our store made. Do you want to buy some to try?”

“Isn’t it Maltosugar?” Jiang Beiran asked.

“No, it’s called Wu Tang. It’s sour and sweet, and it’s especially appetizing.”

Jiang Beiran glanced at Qian Xiaodong and asked,””Do you want to eat?”

When the waiter heard this, he immediately took the jar from the table and placed it in front of Qian Xiaodong.

“All the children nearby have tasted this candy and said it’s delicious. Little customer, do you want to try it?”

Qian Xiaodong looked at the candy in the jar and asked,””How much is this candy?”

“When you start selling, you need to sell at cost price. As long as you sell it for two dollars, you can get a lot.”

Qian Xiaodong rolled his eyes and took out two copper coins from his waist and handed them to the waiter.

“Little customer, you are so generous!” The waiter complimented and brought the jar closer to Qian Xiaodong.”Go ahead, whatever you catch is yours.”

But Qian Xiaodong smiled and said,””Please grab a handful for me, Second Brother.”

The waiter couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard that. He looked at Qian Xiaodong in surprise and then said,””Alright, since you don’t mind, I’ll help you catch it.”

After the waiter finished speaking, he took out a handful of Wu Tang from the jar and placed it on the table.

“Thank you.” Qian Xiaodong smiled.

“Please enjoy your meal.”After saying that, he left.

Seeing Qian Xiaodong glancing at him from time to time, Jiang Beiran, who had already guessed what he was thinking, asked,””Why do you want the waiter to help you catch candy?”

When Qian Xiaodong heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand and said,””My hands are small. If I were to grab it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to grab half of the things on the table.”

Jiang Beiran smiled and nodded.

From the moment the waiter eagerly handed the sugar bowl to Qian Xiaodong, Jiang Beiran could tell that this was a trick of the shop. It sounded like a lot, but if a child were to grab it, the amount would be halved or even more.

‘His brain is indeed good enough, but I wonder how his talent in cultivation is.’As Jiang Beiran spoke, he tore off a duck leg and put it into his mouth. The fragrance immediately filled the air, and it was crispy and tasty.

“It is indeed not bad.” Jiang Beiran nodded in satisfaction.

After a while, a duck went into their stomachs. After they were full, they walked out of the inn together. Just as the night market was about to start, Qian Xiaodong felt that he was very close to the doctor, so he said again,”Doctor, please let me be your apprentice. I don’t ask to learn all of your books, I just want…”

“I told you, this poor priest doesn’t accept disciples, so you should go back early.”

“It is indeed not bad.” Jiang Beiran nodded in satisfaction.

After a while, a duck went into their stomachs. After they were full, they walked out of the inn together. Just as the night market was about to start, Qian Xiaodong felt that he was very close to the doctor, so he said again,”Doctor, please let me be your apprentice.
