73. How much is the bounty worth
The next day, when Lin Ziyue went online again, she appeared directly in the line of living beings, and startled the proprietress who was struggling to write, the proprietress directly threw the pen in her hand obliquely, and the pen rolled on the ground a few times before it was invisible, and the proprietress snorted twice, and was too lazy to pick it up, so she simply didn't continue to write.
"Ahaha...... Sorry for the rush yesterday. Lin Ziyue apologized embarrassedly, and the proprietress waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and called her to sit on the two-seater sofa on the side.
"Your consciousness projection technology...... Is it similar to a holographic game?" The proprietress stretched lazily after spreading the notebook in her hand on the coffee table, and sank into the single sofa behind her.
Lin Ziyue nodded: "Yes, the boss lady hasn't seen it?"
"No, this kind of technology has not been developed in my hometown, holographic projection is available, and artificial intelligence is also in its infancy. The proprietress poured a cup of barley tea for Lin Ziyue, "Taste it, my favorite tea, the water drops helped me bring it from my hometown." β
Lin Ziyue raised the cup to her mouth, the taste of the tea was a little too strong, a little greasy, she personally didn't like it very much, but for the sake of the boss's face, she still smiled and drank several sips.
"Alas...... It would be nice if I could try holographic games too, I really want to play Assassin, and I don't want to leave any credit and fame behind that kind of ......" the proprietress sighed.
Lin Ziyue's heart moved: "I'm ...... Can we open up the lines of living beings in our space?"
The proprietress looked at her, "What's the matter?"
"yes, if you can open it-"
"Don't bother with that effort, you can't do it now, the cause and effect in your body is not strong enough, and you can't open the line of sentient beings without using a specific pass as a medium. Xiaoyu walked down from the upper floor, it seemed that he had listened to the conversation between the two for a while, he sat next to Lin Ziyue, staring at her closely, with a strange sense of maturity on his immature face, as if he was thinking about something.
"And I can't stay outside of the Rows for long, according to the Gregorian calendar, I can't leave here for more than twenty hours, or ......," the proprietress pointed to her blindfold, "this will get out of hand." β
"Hmm......" Lin Ziyue hesitated, but she didn't ask the question about the boss's eyes, she was subconsciously avoiding this topic, and she was still impressed by the feeling of that eye.
Xiaoyu pulled Lin Ziyue's sleeve a little timidly, Lin Ziyue and the proprietress both looked over, and saw that Xiaoyu looked hesitant and seemed to want to ask something.
"Xiaoyu, just say whatever you want, Xiaolin is very easy-going, just ask her, I know you care a lot about C. The proprietress guessed Xiaoyu's mind and said it directly.
"Since my sister has a deep relationship with adults, have you found your staff?" Xiaoyu looked at Lin Ziyue expectantly.
As soon as Lin Ziyue raised her hand, a magic staff appeared in front of her out of thin air, but it did not fall into her hand, but was quietly suspended in mid-air.
"Huh, what's ......" Lin Ziyue was stunned, and then a figure flew out of the staff and pounced on Xiaoyu, and the staff flew back into Lin Ziyue's hand, the proprietress moved, the blindfold was just half lifted and put down, on the other side, the figure holding Xiaoyu was rolling back and forth on the sofa excitedly, in Xiaoyu's protest, the figure stopped, and looked Xiaoyu's face carefully up and down, pinching his cheeks, and all of them smiled happily, this was the first time Lin Ziyue saw her with such a humane expression.
"Big sister...... Don't, don't pinch...... It hurts......"
Xiaoyu pushed Wuyi desperately, but it had no effect at all, Wuyi pinched it for a while before he put down his hand contentedly and bowed to Lin Ziyue: "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape...... I haven't seen the sixth brother for a long time, and I'm a little excited. β
Xiaoyu pouted, rubbing her pinched red face, tears were rolling in her eyes: "My face is numb, I haven't seen her for several years, and the eldest sister is getting more and more excessive." β
"Sixth Brother...... Could it be that Xiaoyu is numberless and six?" Lin Ziyue suddenly reacted, and the relationship between the two seemed to be not shallow.
"Yes, my number is Wuliu pseudonym Li Yu, Xiaoyu is what everyone calls ......" Xiaoyu rubbed his face, his expression was full of depression.
The proprietress came over, rubbed Xiaoyu's face and said, "You never said it, Xiaoyu?"
"Ah......hh What's that, because, I, no, I ......" Xiaoyu looked at the proprietress whose face was gradually gloomy, and rarely showed panic, and looked at Lin Ziyue as if asking for help.
Lin Ziyue pulled the proprietress and led her to sit on the sofa with a smile: "Xiaoyu is also unspeakable, if you expose your relationship with you and the enemy of the water drops, well, I'm afraid I won't live today?"
Wuyi also bowed to the proprietress: "Qiu Di, the past is only a plan of the master and some of us, the sixth brother has never carried out any tasks, he is just one of us who has received the master's grace." β
The proprietress snorted coldly: "Hehe, this can be solved? I'm not a person who can be dismissed with an apology and a word of sorry! How many hurtful things have you yourself done, don't you know yourself!?"
"The hostess...... You calm down a little. Lin Ziyue dragged the proprietress for fear that she would pounce on Wuyi, and the two fought directly.
"Kobayashi, I'm calm! I-"
A somewhat cold voice rang out: "What are you arguing about?"
The sword long dream that had just been launched swept past a few people who were a little confused, his gaze stopped on Wuyi, and his right hand naturally touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Wait!Don't do it, it's all your own people!'s own people!" Lin Ziyue stopped in front of Wuyi a little depressed, looking at Yijian and then at the proprietress for fear that these two people would do something to Wuyi.
"Miss...... Miss" none of the eyes flickered, showing a somewhat relieved smile from an angle that Lin Ziyue couldn't see, and then no one heard what she said to herself, "You still haven't changed from back then......
Wuyi's figure turned into a roll of black mist and landed in front of Xiaoyu, after a gentle kiss fell on Xiaoyu's forehead, she rubbed Xiaoyu's head, and then drilled back into Lin Ziyue's staff, completely disappearing in front of several people.
The tense atmosphere suddenly subsided a lot, the proprietress looked at Lin Ziyue thoughtfully, and the hand of a sword was lowered from the scabbard, and at this moment, the door was pushed open, and footsteps came in. Shadow Dance carried two empty sacks on his back and a bundle of ropes in his hand, and Jack followed him, and the droplets behind them for some reason, with a gloating smile on his face, happily followed.
"Why? really want to do this?" the proprietress asked, and the drop of water leaned into her ear and whispered something, and the conversation between the two was very low, as if it was a private matter.
The shadow sighed: "Alas...... I don't want to, either, but the owner of that bastard restaurant has already put the bounty on a clue of 100 gold coins, and if he can be captured alive, it will be 5,000 gold per person. β
Lin Ziyue's eyelids jumped: "Captured alive, how can the illusory world capture people alive?"
"There are items that can restrict the player's movements, and there are quite a few of them, and they are even sold on the streets of the West Ganmeng. Yijian answered Lin Ziyue's doubts, but the expression on his face was a little subtle, "Are you planning to take us to hand over the bounty to the leader?"
Shadow frowned, "Do I look like that kind of person? Receiving the bounty is just a stop-by, I mainly want to catch that bastard boss." β
Lin Ziyue rolled her eyes: "How can we divide the five thousand gold?"
"Corrected, it's 10,000 gold, it won't be divided, I will put it directly into the 'Visitor from Heaven' mercenary team, and I will use it in future activities. β
"Ah, yes, there is only half a month left in the Valley of Mystery showdown!" Yijian seemed to be reminded by the shadow's action, remembering something.
"What kind of duel is the Valley of the Lost?" asked Jack.
Lin Ziyue also looked confused: "Is it a new event?"
"The big brawl between the mercenary squads, but there seems to be some backstage processing problems, Shadow, are you free to come to the headquarters to help in the past two days?"
ββ¦β¦ You're talking nonsense, my brother told me yesterday, but some troublesome data is precipitated in the background, and it seems to be locked, and it really can't be handled if you don't maintain it offline. β
"Not only that, but the last time I was checking for maintenance, I couldn't put in the data I wanted to add, and many places were locked, what did you do?"
The conversation between the two became more and more incomprehensible, and Lin Ziyue began to stare at each other with Jack's eyes.
"Does Lin understand, what are the two talking about?"
Lin Ziyue shook her head, saying that she was also confused, and as soon as Yijian and Shadow talked about the internal problems of the illusory world, they were very focused, and outsiders couldn't get into the topic at all.
The proprietress on the other side suddenly turned her head and greeted Lin Ziyue: "Ah...... Xiaolin, come here, that little half-demon also come, I have something I want to tell you. She pointed to Jack.
"Ahh Lin Ziyue and Jack both walked over and stood in front of the proprietress obediently as if they were listening to the lecture.
Shui Dizi opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaolin, have you ever heard of the marginal universe?"
Lin Ziyue shook her head.
So the proprietress explained: "The water droplet just went to see the shadow, the phantom universe is this kind of marginal universe, there is no consciousness of independent operation, and it can only maintain its own operation through the will of external objects, so there are many so-called ' 'Independent data', in fact, are all beings who have been swept into the space-time rift, and the parents of this little half-demon should be the same, but I am a little worried that although you have the ability to maintain the existence of the marginal universe, the AI level is obviously not enough to protect itself, because there will be lives that do not belong to it are involved. β
Jack's expression was already completely confused, he couldn't understand the boss's words at all, Lin Ziyue barely managed to keep up: "So...... Shall I tell the shadow to provide a firewall for the Phantom World to add a few more layers of systems so that no foreign life enters too often......
Shui Dizi smiled: "No, no, you have to be vigilant, we are worried that if this small universe is discovered by a stronger race, then ...... You may not be invaded in this world. β
"It's like a virus invading a personal computer?" Lin Ziyue somehow came up with such a metaphor.
Shui Dizi smacked his tongue at her: "Yes, the reaction is quite fast, do you understand the consequences? β
"Hmm...... I see, why don't you ask Shadow about this first?
"I talked to him, and he said that he would go to the company to help out, but since he was a celebrity, he couldn't directly participate in too many activities, so he could only give suggestions or something. β
"But you tell me, I can't control it......" Lin Ziyue spread her hands helplessly.
The proprietress looked a little eager: "So I want you to start from the inside." β
"Internal?" Lin Ziyue was stunned this time.
Shui Dizi's face showed a little cunning: "My idea, if you can continue to contact the special data in the fantasy world, those beings who think independently, maybe you can give them a good blow when there are foreign enemies coming, we think the most suitable person to communicate is you, and when the teleportation array between cities is opened, you will gather all these beings, once something happens, everyone can fight the outsiders together as soon as possible, after all, no one wants the place they are staying in to be destroyed by outsiders, right?"
Lin Ziyue didn't reply for a long time, she didn't think she could do this kind of leader's thing, she wasn't the material to become a leader, right......
"You definitely can't, but once you get along with another soul in your body, her part of her decisive leadership temperament can naturally infect part of you, and this will be a long-term job, come on, Kobayashi. The proprietress patted Lin Ziyue on the shoulder.
Dozens of minutes later, Lin Ziyue and a sword were covered with cloth bags on their heads, ropes were wrapped around their bodies, the shadow put on a mask and carried Lin Ziyue on one shoulder, Jack used some vines to lead a sword, and several people walked towards the magic dragon restaurant in the city, and from time to time the road would attract the eyes of passers-by, but the two of them didn't care, the shadow pretended to play with the dagger unintentionally, and from time to time it crossed the air with a harsh wind-breaking sound, which made the side-eyed passers-by swing their heads back one after another, and Jack raised his hand casually, and the sight of several vines emerging from the ground made several passers-by more and more worried about whether they would be too reckless, and these two people didn't seem to be easy to mess withγ
However, some interested players lost the identification form, and when they realized that Jack's data was written as an NPC, they suddenly became even more puzzled, but the identification technique could not penetrate the hidden identity function on the mask, and the two suddenly became even more mysterious.
Jack took two steps forward, side by side with the shadow, and asked in a low voice, "Is this really okay? Won't it put Lin and Mr. Yijian in danger?"
The shadow glared at Jack: "If there is danger, I will carry it first, and you will be responsible for leading them to escape when the time comes." β
"Shadow Er, haven't we arrived yet?...... I'm so tired," Lin Ziyue's voice came through the cloth bag, "It's so uncomfortable to be tied." β
The shadow shook Lin Ziyue on his shoulder: "Don't make trouble, I'm not more tired than you, it's coming soon, if you lose your stamina because of suffocation, I'll be very troubled, save the best stamina and meet the next possible battle." β
"That guy is fascinated. A sword on the other side also heard a sound, and the sound was a little indistinct because of the cloth bag.
"yes...... You too. The shadow said lightly.
Several people were silent for a while, and the oppressive atmosphere continued until the front of the Demon Dragon Restaurant.
The shadow knocked on the door, and a voice shouted from behind it, "I'm sorry!
"I'm here to receive the bounty. β
"I'm my God!
"Looks like ...... The other party is in a hurry. The shadow smiled, with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.
"Arrived?" Lin Ziyue couldn't help but ask.
"Quiet...... Play a good performance, if you can't act, just shut up all the way. β
