Thinking of this a long time later, Mengzhu once curiously asked Duan Qing why he walked to the little boy's side that afternoon, and then that magical encounter happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Duan Qing's answer is very in line with his character, after removing many contents of boasting and talking and singing, the remaining meaning is probably this: Brother's eyes are sharp and his luck is good.

Of course, Duan Qing must have his own real reasons for this matter, but these are reasons that only he understands in his own heart, and Mengzhu may never know. As for the series of stories that followed and the results that followed, it was not something that Duan Qing could predict now.

Now, they're doing a lot of preparing.

According to Mengzhu's previous statement, if you want to go deep into the Emerald Forest, you have to make long-term plans, so of course you can bring your own food and water, and the free world does not have a two-dimensional backpack that does not conform to physics, although the system will not care about what you want, but you have to carry it yourself. Therefore, how to distribute your own packing is very important.

The night in the village is quiet and long, some insect chirping will come from the corner, and most of the houses and windows are reflected in the light - most people have not fallen asleep at this time, but it is difficult to say for a while, so the two can only use their limited time to do the work of resource gathering.

At the beginning, they encountered some difficulties - in the past, the way for players to obtain food was to go to the village's houses to buy or barter, but at this time, Qing and Mengzhu did not have so much loot in their hands, and they couldn't go out hunting at night, so when Mengzhu tried to ask for some food, but was refused, the two of them were worried about the problem of rations.

In the end, the problem was inadvertently resolved. When they tried to go to another house to ask for food, they accidentally said that they wanted to go to the depths of the Emerald Forest to find someone.

Then, the family's attitude changed suddenly.

"You're going to find someone in the Emerald Forest? Oh, that's a very dangerous place, uncle, although I haven't been there, but just listening to other people's words, I think it's terrifying...... You adventurers, you are really powerful, uncle, when I was young, I didn't dare to do such a thing, hahahaha......"

So they received some gifts from the family: a few pieces of hard bread.

"The depths of the Emerald Forest...... A lot of people have been there and never come back, you two...... Well, I'll give you some bread......"

"Little Mengzhu is actually going to the depths of the Emerald Forest? This is not good, such a dangerous place, no, no, not even ten more people...... Do you have to go? Okay, well, since you're so determined, I don't have much to say, auntie. Wait a minute...... Although I can't help, I can take these cakes and keep them for ...... on the way."

As if triggering some hidden element, the villagers of Greenstone Village expressed concern when they heard that the two were going to travel to the depths of the Emerald Forest, and gave them some food and water as a financial support, not knowing if this was their true feelings or if it was deliberately designed by the system. However, in Duan Qing's eyes, the serious expressions of these villagers when they gave away things made people feel a little awkward no matter how they looked at it.

It was like hearing that someone else was going to die, and then kindly sending them on their last ride.

"Are we so like people who are going to die?" Duan Qing, who was holding a lot of things into the package, asked helplessly.

"And you won't really die, what are you afraid of." Mengzhu pouted: "And it's all free, it's free!" It's cool to hold the free stuff ......"

The problem of food and water was solved, and the next thing was the tent, which Mengzhu said was used for camping, for the safety of the night. But no one would give it to them, and they couldn't make it themselves, so they had to buy it from the grocery store in the small square in the middle of the village. The two of them put together their assets, and they could barely take out nearly 900 ebri coins, and they could buy a minimum tent of 500 gold coins, but that was tomorrow, and it was estimated that they would close at this time.

Thinking that all the money he had scraped together was about to be pushed in front of the grocery store owner with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks for a tent, Mengzhu's little face was wrinkled like a bun, and Duan Qing had a stomachache when he saw it.

"Isn't it just money! Let's go around the forest and earn it back in minutes......"

"Alas, so you big-spending men ......" Mengzhu glanced at Duan Qing weakly: "I never knew that money was hard to come by." That's all white coins! I've been saving up for so long......"

"Why do I have tears in my eyes, because I love these coins so much......" The little girl put her hands together and said with affection, but there was not a tear in her eyes.

As for the torches to be prepared, they are used for lighting, but according to Yumetake, in the depths of the Emerald Forest, even during the day, they will be shaded by towering trees like night. So if possible, it's a good idea to have a long-lasting fixture, such as an oil lamp or a magic lamp. The latter is naturally difficult to get high-end goods, and the small oil lamp hanging from the waist is cheaper and is also sold in grocery stores, so you can consider it. But even the cheapest oil lamps were now out of their budgets - they had to save some money to go to the village to the south to change equipment and hire people.

The little girl once proposed to do the herb business again, but Duan Qing stopped her.

"It's better to hurry up as soon as possible, I always feel that the last few days have ...... Something big will happen. Duan Qing explained.

While saying this, the two of them sat at a round table in the lobby of the inn, discussing their itinerary for tomorrow. Duan Qing looked at the people coming and going in and out of the hotel from time to time, most of them were players who had returned from adventure, of course, some looked very ordinary, and some were happy, it was estimated that there was something to gain from today's adventure. Occasionally, a few players shouted and sat together, presumably knowing each other. There are also those who are alone, or sitting in the corner with a blank face, or looking lost and not knowing what they are thinking, probably encountering something unlucky.

In the crowd of people who came and went like flowing water, there were so many people who had been sitting on the side of the round table and had not moved. Duan Qing could still recognize a few of them, and he thought that the girl sitting across from him could also recognize those former teammates, but she didn't say anything.

From time to time, a few players entered through the gate and came up to the people to exchange words, and then others went out again, and after a while, a few different people came in and continued to discuss something with the few people who were seated. The look of haste often appeared on the faces of those who came and went, and the captain-like man sitting in the middle of the table would make a strategic, say a few words to calm those people, and then reprimand them with a straight face, as if he were righteous.

Of course, due to the distance, Duan Qing and the others naturally couldn't hear the specific content, but in Duan Qing's action of holding a teacup to hide his peeking, he still saw the wings on the shoulders of those people clearly.

That's the logo of the Alliance's current second-largest guild, the Wings of Freedom.

The subordinates who came and went, the frequent exchanges, and the serious expressions of the people at the table...... All kinds of signs, coupled with Duan Qing's rich experience, are all expressing a fact to him: they will make big moves.

"It's better to start tomorrow, and I'll take care of the oil lamp." Duan Qing put down the teacup, and there was a trace of seriousness and faint worry in his eyes: "Hope...... Don't get caught up in anything......"

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

"There's nothing more to worry about, we've been preparing for so long......"

"Yes, the preparation for the incident, the response to all kinds of accidents, and ...... The way we welcomed our old friends was all in our plans, and it stands to reason that nothing unexpected should happen......"

On the table here, several leaders of the Freedom Wings team were discussing their future arrangements, and sitting in the middle was the person who seemed to be the captain when Duan Qing saw Mengzhu here a few days ago.

"But I heard that people were also sent from the rivers and lakes, and it seems that the broken mountain mountain personally led the team......

A few people began to talk about it.

"Broken Mountain ......"

"The second-in-command of the rivers and lakes, ......"

"I heard that in the game of the ancient god of war, he once defeated the second in the world......

"I don't know how strong it is now......"

Although the voices of several people were very low, a certain emotion called weakness of heart still diffused in the discussion, so the captain reprimanded a few words again, and then began to cheer up the morale of his own people.

"Broken Mountains have taken a back seat, and you are still afraid of what he will do! And even if they have a master to lead the team, don't we have it? The first team of people has been setting off for several days, and the time should be up, you all know the strength of the 'Ice and Snow Goddess', and they have also completed several orders for those high-level tasks, in terms of strength, we are definitely worthy of their ......."

The captain pressed his hands on the table, looking full of confidence, and the expressions of the other people at the table gradually relaxed, it seemed that the name of the goddess of ice and snow still gave them some confidence. Two more men came to report the situation, and the captain, after listening to it, gave them some more instructions, and then planned to make the final arrangements.

"Tomorrow if our brigade comes, we will start according to the first part of the original plan. The information we collected and screened before was also handed over to them to deal with, and we only need to do other work to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan later...... Don't hold back! Don't make a fuss! At this juncture, anything that might be in the way must be removed. ”

He pressed his hands forward again, pressed them against the table, and his whole person exuded a solemn aura: "Whether that obstacle comes from the outside...... Or internally. ”

"I think the importance of this mission is already clear to everyone, so ...... Don't think too much, do your job well, and end the meeting. ”

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

Duan Qing and Mengzhu went offline to rest one after another, calculated the time in the game, and agreed to meet again in the early morning. After that, it's time to find teammates to help.

The two of them arrive at the player market at the entrance of the village. Due to the high foot traffic, it is not only a place to buy and sell, but also a good place to find people to work with. The Emerald Forest is the best place to explore here, and it's a notoriously dangerous place, so many people who want to enter the forest are likely to find teammates here.

Duan Qing and Mengzhu set up a stall in a corner of the village gate, and of course this stall was not used to sell things. In this game, when someone wants to find a wild man they don't know to form a team, players mostly like to put a cloth on the ground, and then put some gravel on it to show their intention to form a team. Of course, it's okay for you to put a stone on the word "team", or "ask for thighs" or something like that, and most of the current conventions are a simplified version of the method that was invented in the first place.

As for why this is the case? Because this game doesn't have a public channel for chatting and shouting, and standing on the street and shouting looks silly......

Of course, places like novice villages are poor, so high-end methods such as pen and ink and wooden signs are more luxurious, and when they get to the towns, these propaganda methods will become mainstream, and many people will use this method to invent more business in the free world, but that's for another time.

The current Duan Qing didn't need these methods, he just sat in the back, looking bored, and the negotiation was all handed over to Mengzhu to do—this was also Mengzhu's willingness. Originally, she was not willing to sacrifice herself for that uncle, but after she saw Duan Qing's communication method once, she asked him to go to the back to rest with a blue face.

The process of that exchange went like this:

"Name? Oh yes on your head, okay, it doesn't matter...... Grade? Why are you only level 10? Do you know what we're going to do? We're going to the Emerald Forest to slaughter the gods...... Ah no, find someone! At least a few hundred kilometers away, what's the use of you only being level ten......"

Then the man said a word of neurosis, shook his hand and walked away.

Mengzhu lectured him a little angrily for a long time, basically meaning that what is the use of you pretending to be forced at this time, Duan Qing put on a master's appearance, showing foresight in preparing for a rainy day: "Didn't you say that it is dangerous to go deep into the forest, and it is not safe to find a thigh......

Thighs are woolen, where does the thighs come from in the novice village to hug you......

So the girl could only calmly let the uncle stay and pick up the guests in person. One of the people she received who came to "apply" was a young man with a shoehorn in his head.

“...... Let's go in and find someone, no problem, brother, I'm the best at this, I know exactly who lives in our neighborhood ......"

"Uh, we're going somewhere unfamiliar......"

The task of finding someone for the two of them is not the most dangerous task to enter the Emerald Forest so far, and some of the few people who have come before are also quite interested in this task, but they didn't agree in the end, the reason is still Duan Qing and the two of them...... Too poor.

Get? Of course this is not dangerous, go to the depths of the Emerald Forest? Well, if you can get inside, of course, it would be a good thing, but you will pay for it...... Or maybe you can get some loot, what? Don't know what to expect? Are you going to make me work for nothing?

The two had planned to subsidize their teammates with some of their own things before, but the budget was too tight, and there was nothing left of their personal assets that could be used and attractive enough. Mengzhu is not good at lying and fooling people, so until now, no one agreed to go with them.

However, this stunned young man gave Mengzhu some hope.

"Don't worry, chick...... Oh no, this lesbian. This kind of business is also a common occurrence in our way, and whether that person owes money or causes trouble, we can take care of it. Trust me, I'm professional......"

It turned out to be a dumbfounder, and he was mixed up on the road...... The girl still greeted each other with a smile on the surface, but she was disappreciative in her heart, the level of rule of law and the public security environment in this era are very high, and the road of mixed underworld is almost no longer visible. The young man in front of him is probably a second-class patient, and looking at what he said, it is estimated that he is quite sick.

"Uh, we don't have anything good to pay you ......"

"It doesn't matter, the brothers on the road are talking about righteousness, and if you do business a few more times, everyone will be acquaintances. As for the requirements...... My requirements are not high, just take care of the food for my buddy, ahahaha......"

"This is easy to do, ahahaha......"

The two of them laughed at each other painlessly, how embarrassing and embarrassing the scene was. Duan Qing in the back looked at the girl's little hands hiding behind her waving wildly, looking crazy, and laughed secretly.

Then, a familiar voice reached Duan Qing's ears.

"Ah, isn't this Brother Mo, it's been a while since the last goodbye, I don't know how I've been mixed up recently, but I need Ben to do a little bit of help?"

The two people in front of him were interrupted by this voice, Duan Qing followed the voice and looked, and the image full of holes appeared in front of his eyes again.
