"Do you really expect these adventurers to bring us benefits?"

In the small room where there were only two people left, the hunchbacked old man, who had regained his normal expression, walked slowly in front of Hank: "You are not afraid of ......"

"Your worries are always more than I imagined. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Holding the wine glass and taking another sip, the middle-aged man closed his slender eyes: "What if they know?" I can't wait for ...... They came down and mingled. ”

"You don't think it's messy enough, do you?" The old man shook his head and said, "Sumeri, Kazak, and Queen Maggie...... There are enough forces here, I heard that Connelly, who opened a shop as soon as his brain was hot, now also has the meaning of coming down, aren't these people enough for us to be busy? You're going to pull them down......"

"So I'm starting to woo them now." Hank whispered, "The news just came that the nobles and commoners have reached an agreement, and they ...... Agreed to all the requests. ”

"What? How is it possible, why did those old immortals agree? The old man cried out, "What good does the beard give them?"

"I don't know." Hank shook his head and said, "But it is foreseeable that the future status of adventurers will ...... will be raised again. ”

"After the last refugee, there is a second influx...... It may be coming soon. A deep voice echoed through the room: "O adventurer's tide......"

"Well, in that case...... We need to prepare in advance. ”

The old man rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and then asked as if he remembered something, "But...... Why the two of them? Is that called Moshang Qingshan very famous? ”

“…… It's time for you to make up the information. Hank glanced at the other man, "Especially the ones I gave you."

"Less nonsense, talk fast."

"For a long time, the black market has always existed in the dark, although it has become a system of its own, but ...... It's a bit too closed. Instead of answering his question immediately, Hank said to himself, "If we can't see the sun, we'...... After all, there is still no future. ”

"That's ...... It's a bit similar to Liberty City. ”

"You fellow......" the old man sighed, "don't always dwell on the past."

"I'm just talking about things." Hank whispered, "As a group of people who are always on the fringes, adventurers are naturally suited for jobs like ours, and many of them ...... He also had a lot of contact with the upper class. ”

"If we can take this opportunity to stand up......"

"You want to get out of the black market?" The old man squinted his eyes and asked, "Little bastard, what do you think...... Is this kind of thing something you don't do if you don't do it? ”

"Hey, I didn't mean that." Hank waved his hand: "I just want to ......"

His face turned grim: "Let the entire black market stand up with me."

"What......" The old man's eyes widened: "It's up to you?" And me? ”

Remembering the question at the beginning, he raised his finger again: "And those adventurers?"

"Ordinary people...... Of course not. Hank bowed his head and said, "But if he's ...... It should be possible. ”

"Him?"

“…… You'll understand later, after all, it's just a plan now. Hank changed his words: "All you need to do is to work with me honestly, and then just give him and his teammates more benefits."

"Wow." The old man immediately blew his beard: "It's been a long time, and it's not that I want to pay!" Isn't there much blood I have today, old man? ”

"Come on, old fox." Hank shook his head: "You old rivers and lakes, you can't still see the value of that thing?" Even if you hang that thing in the store......"

"I guess I can't sell it."

Carrying a large black canvas bag, Duan Qing, who was walking in the passage at this time, whispered to Mengzhu next to him: "The shape is gorgeous, and the epic quality looks very good, but that attribute ...... It's very cheating when you look at it, okay? Who would be that kind of wronged boss? ”

"But...... Didn't you say those special effects were amazing? ”

"If I remove the first half of each of them, I admit that they are really good." Duan Qing said with a blushing face: "But those conditions were added...... This special effect is silly. ”

"I ask you, what is the Freezing Effect?"

"Hmm...... Probably the kind of water magic that can slow people down? ”

"To be honest, I don't know if it's like that, after all, the negative status given by the system only has an icon, not even a text explanation." Turning a dark corner, Duan Qing continued to explain helplessly: "What if...... The so-called freezing effect must be those ice sculptures on the snowy mountains, or something like an ice cage that is leisurely against the wind, then this weapon is too rubbish. ”

"Don't, don't worry, we can go out and give it a try......"

"Even if not? Don't you have to cooperate to produce special effects? ”

Duan Qing said angrily: "I've played this game until now, I haven't seen a melee class that can add a freeze-like effect to people when attacking, I've seen some ice attribute damage, but the cold effect is too difficult, such a game that pursues science, this kind of not very scientific effect can probably only be seen in the hands of a mage, but how can a mage come out to fight with a two-handed sword!" Even if he can handle it, will he use it to cut people? Do you want to rely on the effect to win? ”

He looked up and sighed, "Ah...... It was a beautiful picture. ”

"In other words......" the little girl's head also bowed, "this weapon is useless?"

"If a water mage is willing to cooperate with you, this weapon may be useful." Duan Qing said, "Maybe."

"Alas......" The little girl sighed, "Are we really going to sell?" An epic two-handed greatsword! I'm so reluctant! ”

"If you don't want to sell it, keep it, anyway, you bought it with eight hundred gold coins, and you can make money no matter what you do." Duan Qing smiled meaninglessly: "No matter how bad it is...... You can take it out to scare people, look at the ice flowers all over your body, look at the cold light, how cool it is! It's a pity ......"

"Even if I use it, it's just a blank slate."

Finally finding the staircase where they came, Duan Qing slightly lifted the backpack behind him, and then pouted helplessly: "Can't be enchanted, can't be inlaid...... It's clear that you don't have a way to apply the Freeze effect yourself, hehe...... I don't understand why such a large block of ice can't freeze the enemy on its own! ”

"yes, why!"

"It seems that we can only rely on the so-called seal to turn the tables, maybe there will be some new effects after the seal is lifted......

"That's right! If you don't say I've forgotten, there's still a seal in the description! But...... Do you know how to break the seal? ”

"I know it......"

The voices of the two men gradually faded apart, and finally disappeared above the gate with their footsteps. A moment later, a cloaked figure of the player appeared around the corner of the entrance, slowly straightening up.

“……”

He looked at the place, compared his adventure map, then shook his head and left without saying a word.

************************************

"This classmate, do you want to equip it? It's all fresh, guaranteed to dazzle your eyes......"

“……”

"What? Afraid of being discovered by your opponents? Don't worry, these things are taken from the large army of players, and they can't guess if they keep them! I can also assure you that the deal between us ......"

"Sorry, I didn't make it."

“…… Say it early! It's a waste of so much ......."

Shaking his arm, Duan Qing looked helplessly at the player who left angrily, and shook his head a little amused-according to the practice of the last time, it was already late at night, and it was the time for the members of the adventure group to watch the game, so after hurriedly returning to the adventurer's association and letting go of the heavy burden, Duan Qing finally got a moment of rest, and then came to the server dedicated to this competition again. With his original thoughts, he originally wanted to go offline and rest honestly for a while, and by the way, check the information about the negative state, but unfortunately his head of the regiment had a clear order: if you don't come to watch the game with her, then wait to die.

Alas, don't you want to make a few more money on betting......

"Forced to enter" the competition world, what appeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes was no longer the ancient arena between the grass and the blue lake, but a meandering river, and around the riverbank decorated with blooming flowers and green leaves, there were already crowds of people sitting in twos and threes, dancing with the butterflies around them, while chatting with laughter, as if they were enjoying a wild trip that could not be enjoyed in the real world. On the other side of the clear river, lush trees stretch into the distance with the blue sky as the goal, and there seem to be all kinds of unknown birds flying in and out in the middle, decorating this unique natural beauty. In the direction of the riverbank, rows of log cabins appeared in the distance, although it is not known what they are used for, but judging by the flow of people here and the degree of gathering, it seems that it is the place where the audience needs to go.

However, before Duan Qing could get there, he was attacked by the player from before.

"What are you doing? How can there be a ...... to sell equipment here?"

"Those are the fallen masters."

A player's voice sounded from behind Duan Qing, he looked back and unexpectedly found a familiar figure: "...... Uncle Smiling? ”

"Hahaha, I'm so glad you remember me." The smiling butcher with a beard slowly walked in front of Duan Qing, first untied his big shield, and then gave a real uncle hug: "It's been so many days, and I've finally met you here once."

"Uh...... I didn't come to the game the other day. Duan Qing touched his nose and explained, "But...... Once an adventurous party, how could I forget? ”

"Huh...... What about the others? ”

"Probably waiting for me at the front, and I said that I would meet in front of the venue...... Hmm, I don't know if Xiao Hongchen has received the news. ”

"That guy is still as reckless as ever."

"yes, a headache...... You just said, what do those people do? ”

"Fallen master, fallen master." The smiling butcher pointed to the nearby crowd: "Most of the players here are people who have participated in the competition and were eliminated later, they all have some weapons and equipment that are very useful at this stage, and some of them have better minds, so they will take them out and sell them, each taking what he needs, and he will change to something better in the future......"

"Are there level 50 players now?" Duan Qing asked, "I heard that that is the highest level of this version."

"I don't know, even if there is, it's probably a hidden master who doesn't participate in the competition, and most of the professional players who waste their time here don't have a chance."

The smiling butcher said with a smile: "At this time in the competition, everyone's level and attributes are already more obvious, and the skills are almost the same, so if you want to gain some advantages in preparation, you can only look at the equipment."

"Reselling equipment...... That's why there is a market for these people? Pointing to the person who had already gone to another corner to sell his goods, Duan Qing said with some amusement: "Can the things they sell be reliable?"

"It's better than nothing." Uncle Smiling spread his hands: "And...... Don't underestimate the possibilities of this game, there are still a lot of strange equipment, such as the opponent I lost to before...... Belch. ”

"Uncle, you...... Did you even participate in the competition? ”

"Alas, I always don't admit defeat, and there are requirements in the club, so it's okay to give it a try." Uncle Smile smiled a little helplessly: "My daughter is also in favor, so ...... You know. ”

"That's good." Duan Qing also laughed: "That...... How is your guild's record? I remember what it was called a windswept ......"

"There are no great masters, and there will be no one when they fight." The smiling butcher shook his head and said, "But it's okay, let's see how the opponent plays, and then practice, and then the team competition...... We still have a chance. ”

"You don't have a chance."

As they spoke, the two walked along the path by the river to the vicinity of the cabins, and at this time they seemed to be stopped by several people who had also come to watch the game. Their level and equipment seem to be very good, and the light they emit is also significantly different from the players around them, but the most obvious place is the No.1 symbol on their respective armors.

"You ......" the smiling butcher's face sank: "Don't make trouble."

"What? Have you met a new friend and want to put on a wave in front of others? ”

The player in the lead swept his eyes on Duan Qing's face, and then shook his head and said, "If this had been placed in the past, the brothers wouldn't have cared about you, but now...... Hey. ”

"We had to come over and warn you."

In front of everyone's eyes, he stepped forward and nodded the smiling uncle's chest: "Team competition...... We'll see. ”

"I said ......"

Looking at the backs of the few people who were shaking their bodies and leaving, Duan Qing asked with a wry smile: "You're so old, don't make trouble everywhere, right?"

"It's none of my business." The latter wiped his beard: "It's a matter for our guild."

"Oh?"

"They're the people of the Pinnacle Guild." Pointing in the direction where the men had left, the smiling butcher whispered, "You...... Got it? ”

"I know a basket." Duan Qing looked at the other party inexplicably: "What is the peak guild, why didn't I ......?"

His tone froze, and the smiling butcher's slightly bitter face corresponded to it.

"We are the Windswept Guild." He said, "And our president ...... It's a headwind. (To be continued.) )
