……
The time soon came to evening.
Xiao Lin packed himself up and planned to go to the small square.
The small square is located in the front section of the valley. This position is relatively close to the mouth of the valley and far from the trunk of the giant banyan tree. Below is a rock formation without soil, so there are only branches and leaves without air roots.
In addition, when planting trees, since the interior of the valley is irregular, Xiao Lin did not choose the most central location when choosing a location. There are still a few such open spaces.
The place where he lives now, that is, the main location, is in the middle and rear of the valley, close to the rock wall, not far from the lake on the left, and the family of Xiao Han and a few children on the right.
There are some people living in the front and back, but they are all elderly, and they will avoid the main part when they come and go.
After all, they had just arrived, so they didn't dare to go to the center.
Xiao Lin had just stepped out of the door when a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[The system prompts, the family task is released, please check. 】
Xiao Lin stopped and immersed his consciousness in the air space.
On the family panel, a red task bar is floating.
He opened it and saw that the first line was the task name.
[Family Mission: Reconstruction]
------------
040 My Xiao family is facing a big enemy, and I have to change my name and surname
When Xiao Lin saw this task, he was very happy for a moment.
This is the first time he has actually taken a mission from the system, not the kind of petty hesitation he used to do.
That kind of system gives advice, and then what he does, after all, can't be on the big stage.
And most importantly, when he saw this task, Xiao Lin was even more sure of one thing.
That is what he is facing now, not the full face of the system.
It was like playing a game. The basic version was played at the beginning, and the game would be updated and added with new functions. Xiao Lin was also waiting for the new version.
Judging from the recent updates, each new function of the system is often accompanied by some humanized intelligent effects.
In particular, Xiao Lin has a kind of experience, that is, the intelligence of the system seems to be gradually improving, or recovering.
Of course he had doubts about his system, but the doubts were not hostile.
After all, his current achievements all depend on the system, and without the system, he would not be where he is now.
To doubt the purpose of the system, as the protagonists of some of the novels he had read, was not normal in itself.
Even if the system itself wants to use him, it is because he has value.
Xiao Linmon asked himself, asking him to help a person without asking for anything in return, he couldn't do it.
Even when Yao Lao accepted Xiao Yan as his apprentice, didn't he make Xiao Yan promise to rebuild his body in the future?
Xiao Lin quickly regained his distracted mind and continued to browse the tasks.
This time, the system's language is extremely colloquial.
As Xiao Lin guessed, the intelligence of the system has improved again.
[Family Mission: Reconstruction]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the entire journey of the family's escape. Up to now, 90.00% of the main part of the Xiao family has entered a safe state. The system judges that the family's escape is over. 】
[But it is not enough for a family to end the crisis. There are many things in this world that are often hidden in the dark. Crisis may come at any time. In the face of crisis, it is impossible to rely on the strength of one person forever. 】
[As a family that bears the bloodline of Emperor Dou, even if the bloodline has been abandoned, the backbone cannot be abandoned. 】
[Wanting to make a family strong is not just an overnight thing, but fortunately you still have a long time. 】
[Mission announcement: within 15 years, promote the Xiao family to one of the top families in the Northwest Region of the Dou Qi Continent. 】
[System Tip: Sometimes, the target is too big and it is easy to tear the leg muscles. Before competing in the Northwest Territories, you might as well clean up the Jiama Empire. 】
[The system does not impose any restrictions on the host's means, please make the best use of the host. 】
[Task Reward: Family Contribution Value (extra) 100 million, three copies of Breaking Realm Pill, free exchange for one time of exercises (no price limit, optional in the system mall)]
[Task penalty: The host himself is infused with bad luck for a month. 】
Hey!
After Xiao Lin read it, basically all his attention was attracted by the quest punishment.
If bad luck is poured into it for a month, this level of bad luck will kill people, right?
I feel that the water of this task is a bit deep, especially this punishment, he can't grasp it.
But the task does not have the option to reject, and in 15 years, he may not be able to do this.
Counting from now, 15 years later, the three-year contract in the original book just ended, that is to say, that time happened to be the time when the Xiao family was being chased by the Soul Palace...
If you think about these things in series, it's really stressful.
Xiao Lin smiled and rearranged his clothes.
In fact, his clothes were not wrinkled, but tidying them up helped him calm down.
He was going to meet the family members, and he couldn't appear unsteady.
……
Valley Square.
The members of the Xiao family are all gathered here. It has passed the original time, and Xiao Lin has not yet appeared, which makes the people of the De family whisper.
The old people sitting in the middle didn't stop the juniors from whispering, because they were also muttering in their hearts.
If they don't see the real person, they are still worried after all.
Xiao Han didn't care what the clansmen were saying. In fact, in this situation, if he hadn't been by Xiao Lin's side, his performance would not have been much better.
But, why hasn't the master come yet?
Could it be that something was holding him back?
With a glance, he saw Xiao Ding, Xiao Li and Xiao Yixian running from the woods and quietly standing behind the team.
The three children were obviously late.
However, no one paid attention to the behavior of these three little guys, they just mixed among the children and did not cause any movement.
Even the children of the family, after going through so many things, are much more mature than their peers.
After a while, Xiao Lin finally came.
He did not come out of the jungle, but fluttered his wings and descended from the sky.
The reason why he chose this way of appearing is because there is nothing more intuitive than Dou Qi Huayi to show his realm of Dou Wang.
As long as he sees these wings, he will naturally be able to convince the family members.
What's more, it was Xiao Lin's effort that the Xiao family was able to prosper to what it once was.
Without Xiao Lin, the Xiao family would only have a place in Wutan City, and it would be impossible to form any relationship with those big families.
Therefore, in the Xiao family, Xiao Lin's cohesion is very terrifying. Except for those young children, any Xiao family admires Xiao Lin very much.
Of course, for Xiao Lin, these things were the legacy left by the original one, and he didn't feel anything wrong with using them.
A sheep is also chased, and a group of sheep is also released. Since he has accepted Xiao Zhan and his children, it doesn't matter which Xiao family there are more.
Anyway, now this group of people are also members of his family.
"Homeowner!"
"Patriarch!"
"master!"
When Xiao Lin landed on this small square, a very noisy voice suddenly came from the gathering group of clansmen. Everyone called him differently, but they were all calling him.
And the position at the top of the small square was naturally also given up.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Xiao Lin squeezed his hand, and the noise in the square disappeared immediately, and it became quiet.
Everyone was waiting for him to speak.
"Everyone has... worked hard for a while."
Xiao Lin is not very good at speaking, especially in this kind of social scene, but sometimes the situation forced him to say, this time he came here to make a draft.
"Everyone must have seen the changes that the family has encountered during this period of time. It is really helpless to enter the mountain this time.
Now, my Xiao family is facing a big enemy, and I have to change my name and surname as a last resort. "
------------
041 Hall of Longevity
After saying this, Xiao Lin deliberately paused.
He left this time for the family members to react.
The reaction of the clansmen was very direct, and they were all silent.
The catastrophe of the family is not a matter of one person, that is for sure.
But if it gets to the point where all the family members change their names, it would be too tragic.
In these people's minds, they only have one idea.
What's up with this?
The family has a Douwang sitting in town, occupied another city, and is now secluded in the mountains, but even in this case, do you still need to change your name?
How strong is this enemy?
"I know, many of you may be very confused about this, but I had to,
It's not that I don't want to explain these things to you, it's just that it's not good for you to know the specific reasons for this.
