Chapter 30: The Merchant and the Murderer

When Su Mu was a little confused, the black face got up and came to the corner of the room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThere is a wooden storage compartment there, which looks very old, and some of the red paint on the wood has turned white. Blackface took out the key and opened the box, taking out a box from inside.

When Blackface brought the box to the big table, the familiar decoration made Su Mu react, this is the box of the adventurer's game.

"Nothing else, come with me as an 'adventurer', I heard that your third young master is the top game master in the city, I want to see it. I'll help you if you win, and if you lose, go back to your own home. The black face looked at Su Mu slyly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a weird smile.

Although the swarthy thief union boss agrees with Su Mu's point of view, he will not help Su Mu because of these few words, he has to deal with the Ripley family, and the slightest mistake is likely to cause big trouble. Su Mu is now a wanted criminal, and in order to get help, he must be recognized by blackface in terms of strength.

In addition, there is such an opportunity to play tricks on businessmen, and Blackface will naturally not let it go.

Su Mu was not surprised by such a move with a black face. It is precisely because he was moved by what he just said that the black face will have this behavior. There is no such thing as a free dinner, and if you want to invite these people in the shadows, you must prove that you have the value of asking them to help.

Su Mu began to contact the 'adventurer' at a very young age, and has been fighting against various players in the city, and after more than ten years, he has become a master and celebrity in the adventurer game circle of North Star City. It is very fun to use this game to rectify people, Su Mu has rectified Devit many times, which makes him lose face every time, and he has a grudge against Su Mu because of this.

Obviously, the black face also wants to do this to Su Mu.

Thinking of this, Su Mu laughed, and he asked with a smile, "How are you going to play?" ā€

"I'll set the rules, let Fante and Alec be the referees together." Saying that, Blackface opened the box, which contained the cards needed for the game, which could take good care of these game cards, indicating that Blackface was indeed a loyal adventurer player.

"Don't worry, unlike you black-hearted and hypocritical businessmen, I am very particular about integrity and the rules of the game, I will not smoke thousands, nor will I lose and not admit it, let's take it without reservation!" The tone of the black face's speech improved, and he himself felt excited to be able to fight against a master like Su Mu. If you can win, you can prove your strength, and you can also trick and humiliate the other party, killing two birds with one stone.

"Listen to my dear friend Alec, the dark world represented by the Thieves' Guild is extremely disciplined and recognizable, and you respect thieves for their own ways and will not betray your employer's information. That being the case, I thought I could see it for myself. Su Mu made some pauses when he said the second half of the sentence, making this sentence sound a little skeptical.

"Boy, if you lose, you're going to pay for your childish doubts." The voice of the black face looked a little unpleasant.

After taking out the various cards in the box, Blackface displayed these cards in front of Su Mu's eyes, a total of three cards, namely condition cards, event cards and prop cards.

Speaking of these cards, we have to mention the adventurer game first.

The adventurer game arose from Osland, the Central Continent, and has developed to the present, and has spread to parts of the Western Continent Barendim and the Eastern Continent Shenzhou. Derived from the Old Augustian Empire, the predecessor of the Holy Dragon Empire, this tabletop game was created by an adventurer during his adventures. The game integrates adventure, playing, geography, imagination and many other elements, mainly relying on players to compile the story in language and combine various item cards to carry out events.

With the development of the times, although the name is still called adventurer, it is no longer limited to adventure, its game elements have touched all aspects of people's lives.

In the deck of adventurer's games, condition cards, event cards, and item cards have different meanings.

Condition cards include victory condition cards, identity cards, and scenario cards; Event cards are the core of the adventurer's game, and the event cards are used to determine the direction of the participants' stories; Item cards are auxiliary cards, which have certain restrictions on obtaining depending on their identity, and are mainly used to help solve conflicts and problems in story events.

"We're going to play something different this time." The black face sorted out the card deck and said to Su Mu at the same time. "It's not so complicated, the game mode is simple mode, the adventure stage chooses Osland, the central continent, and our game scene is North Star City."

In the adventurer game, there are two modes: simple mode and advanced mode. The former has a single scenario and victory conditions, and there are also restrictions on the use of cards. The latter scenario is complex, the victory conditions are varied, and the cards are not limited. The simple mode is easy to learn and doesn't have to think too much, but in the battle of masters, this mode will not be easy due to many limitations.

Su Mu listened to the rules of blackface, and he was constantly thinking about countermeasures and ideas in his heart. He knew that Blackface chose North Star City as the scene, and he must have wanted to make things difficult for himself by writing the story in North Star City.

Looking at Su Mu's thoughtful appearance, the black face smiled, and continued to sort out the cards in his hand. Like Su Mu, he was also planning a strategy in his head, a strategy that would allow him to defeat Su Mu with a sure victory.

"Su Mu, do you know why your father was put in prison?" A sentence suddenly popped out of the black face, which surprised Su Mu.

Su Mu didn't answer, he knew that the words of the black face were not asking the direct reason: "Why".

"It's a rare kindness, it's a fading tolerance, he used to hold the rules, and with the rules, he can easily take out the Ripley family who break the rules. But he didn't, so now he's in prison. As he spoke, Blackface had already sorted out the decks, neatly categorized all kinds of cards, and placed them according to the rules of the game.

"So you're trying to say, if I don't have the decisiveness to make a move, don't go against Ripley?" Su Mu said the key to the words.

"Hahaha! You Su Mu is really smart! Alec's words are true, you are completely different from those stupid merchant masters! The black face laughed loudly, and through the conversation, his opinion of Su Mu gradually changed.

"Hehe, then in the next showdown, I have to show my determination to the blackface boss through a good story." Su Mu's words began to become strong, although there was still some joking in his tone.

The core gameplay of the adventurer's game is to make up a story within the rules, and win when you reach your own victory conditions. With reality as the stage, the story must conform to reality, and if you want to make up an interesting and natural story, you must have a certain understanding of reality. If you want to win, you need to know how to design various routines. For Su Mu, who has developed in a balanced manner since childhood, this is what he is best at, and he is also very confident in it.

Su Mu's posture of responding to the battle made Blackface very excited, and the young master did not flinch in the face of difficulties and challenges, which made Blackface have a better impression of Su Mu in front of him.

Blackface pulls out the ID card and gives it to Fante and Alec. As referees, the two of them drew one from one of them and threw it to Blackface and Su Mu.

Su Mu turned over the cards on the table, representing the identity of the "businessman", while the black face on the opposite side showed his cards to Su Mu.

It was a "murderer" identification card.

A story showdown between a businessman and a murderer is about to begin.
