Chapter 19: The Aftermath of the Copy
There was a beggar wandering in Xiliang City, smelly, and he appeared at the door of the teahouse from time to time, grinning and listening to the storyteller's storytelling; From time to time, he appeared next to the restaurant, waiting for the well-wisher to reward some spare money and meals; Of course, this old beggar with a white beard is more often than not, hiding next to garbage and corners that most people don't want to stay, and if the weather is good, the old guy will squint at the sun for a while, or simply half-lie on the ground and catch fleas. Even on a rainy day, he may not take refuge, but will use the rain to wipe the dirt off his body.
He was tall and didn't look like an old man, and his best belongings were just an erhu, a wine gourd, and a pair of straw sandals. However, his erhu never seemed to sound; His wine gourd was never opened; His straw sandals have never worn out. He is an outsider and does not belong to the original inhabitants of Xiliang City, has he been here for a long time? No one knew and no one was interested in knowing, but anyway, he always felt that he was born to belong here, and his home was next to the roots of the tree in the corner.
The old beggar is dirty but has a habit of cleanliness, he never eats other people's leftovers, and of course the old man doesn't know it.
He was a beggar but behaved like a scholar, and even when he was very hungry, he would not ask for food, and sometimes people would give him some food when they saw that he was so hungry, and the old man would never say thank you. Just ask, 'Why don't you have some too?' ’
So the children of Xiliangcheng gave him the nickname 'Weighing Stone', and they thought that he was determined to be a beggar. With your stature, although you are old, you can always help people watch the door, right? Why bother eating what you eat? But this NPC old man doesn't think so, he thinks that I am not a beggar if I don't ask you for food, and what you take the initiative to give me is not considered food, and the old man doesn't eat other people's leftovers, and I can't talk about dirty, so even if he is a beggar, he is very unsuccessful, and most of the time he is hungry.
When the old beggar appears, people often can't see him, and when he disappears, they occasionally ask, "What about the scales?" I haven't seen him in a long time. "You say that old man is called Hanako? I don't know, I'm probably starving! Then he will appear in the field of vision of the NPC inhabitants as he did today.
This beggar is a mess of mud and a speck of dust in the eyes of others, but how can others not be in his heart?
The old beggar walked out slowly along the Benhoi Avenue, no one wanted to deal with him and get close to him, and the old guy was also happy, squinting his eyes and looking around, as if enjoying the majestic scenery of the Xiliang City Tower. When he came to Glory Square, he found the most inconspicuous place and sat down, leaning against the blue-black city wall.
At this time, a mechanical, extremely loud voice suddenly appeared in the sky above Xiliang City, "Congratulations to the desert for being lonely, safe, the smoke falling, the sun setting over the long river, and becoming the first group of adventurers to successfully pass through the hooligan gathering place." ’
The players in the entire Glory Square put away their busy feet and listened to the system's city-wide broadcast, and then exploded in an instant, and those who have been to the dungeon know that the small five-person dungeon is not ordinarily difficult for them at present. Many people, many teams don't know how many times they have wiped out the group in that dungeon, and when everyone is still struggling to think about how to kill those rogue elite monsters, someone has already opened the dungeon.
"! What are the origins of these people? "Someone talked.
"How is that possible? Let's hang up! "There are doubts.
"Lao Tzu went to the official to report them." It's the kind that doesn't look good.
"You can get in touch and ask them for some experience on how to play this dungeon, or have a chance to team up with them." That's what most people want to do right now.
The old beggar looked coldly at these adventurers who were talking about the adventurers who came and went in Glory Square, they were as busy as ants on a hot pot, and their expressions were as rich as the ugliness of life on the stage.
"It's going to change!" It moved, its shriveled lips muttered indistinctly.
******
When the system called out their names in Xiliang City, An Ran was eating instant noodles in a big gulp, which was his lunch.
Instant noodles for lunch may be shabby, but it was his dream as a child, 'If only I could eat instant noodles every day when I grow up.' 'Gotcha! How do you feel about the fact that your dream is about to come true? Now he doesn't have any feelings, he just thinks that the taste is wrong, so the young man eats quickly, and the behavior of swearing to never touch instant noodles again needs to be eaten every day, eaten every day, and insisted on ten days and eight days.
After eating, he lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, and after he was addicted to smoking, he put the cigarette butt in the ashtray and extinguished it, and then went to the toilet and came back and quickly entered the game.
He was still at the door of the dungeon, more gamers emerged in the apricot forest, An Ran found the desert lonely smoke surrounded by the crowd, although he was tall and mighty, and he did look a little outstanding, but he would never be watched as an orangutan!
"Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the equipment on his body and is ready to rob? No way! An Ran shook his head and smiled, "This belongs to the realm of system protection, and it is completely a fool's dream to kill people and sell goods or settle grievances here." You can fight with others, but every punch you throw on others will not hurt at all, your knife will have no effect on others at all, others will not hurt, he will neither die nor explode equipment, so what is there to talk about killing people and goods? “
"Going live so soon? ”
An Ran stepped forward and greeted Da Desert Guyan, he wanted to see what these people were going to do.
"This is ...... Smoke falling? Enron? Or is it the sunset of the long river? A young male mage who was watching saw An Ran walking and asked with a smile.
"Huh?" An Ran was stunned by the question.
"Everyone! Everybody! Listen to me, I really don't have time to stay here anymore to explain, you see my friend is here, we have to go back to the city to hand in the mission. ”
Two patrolmen followed the desert solitary smoke, and the NPCs didn't speak, but they were a little impatient.
Out of politeness, An Ran smiled at the young mage player who had the middle score and said hello.
"What's going on?" The handsome young man asked.
"Hey!" Da Mo Lonely Smoke sighed helplessly, "The system reported that we cleared the dungeon, and then everyone knew about us, no, these brothers came to ask me if I had time to take them to the dungeon, or explain to them how to kill monsters." “
"You are famous now, and the players in the entire Xiliang City know that you were the first to break through the copy of the rogue gathering place, so we want to ask the two masters how to do it." A player with a thick apple face and slightly chubby lips said.
"That's it! It is! "Everybody goes along with you.
"Isn't this an opportunity to build a team?" An Ran thought, "Just like you used to do in World of Warcraft, if you have the strength, someone will definitely know about you and pay attention to you, whether you want to form a team to go to the battlefield or go to the dungeon, you can lead a group of people to act together." And the kind of guild that is the first to open a large dungeon will often become famous in one fell swoop, and tens of millions of players have taken refuge in one after another to be proud of joining this guild. And the guild leader can choose the kind of people with good equipment, skills, and consciousness among these players, and incorporate them into their own command to form an elite team to play better equipment and more advanced dungeons. between players and players; between guilds and guilds; This is how the gap is widened step by step, and this is one of the benefits of land reclamation, which can make you fame and fortune. ”
"I don't think so," An Ran paused, and everyone looked at him with expectant faces. "Let's just make a copy of the strategy skills, people who really need it can add us as friends, and in the future, we will distribute these strategy skills in WeChat or QQ groups, as long as the brothers who join the group can observe and learn by themselves?"
"This is good!"
"I want to join!"
"I'm going to join too, how can I join?"
"Brother Yanluo's attention is really good." Some people mistake Enron for smoke.
"In addition to studying, the brothers in the group can also make an appointment together to organize the next copy in the future." A player on the left in the crowd who looked like a student with a few pimples on his face suggested, and he literally spoke An Ran's heart.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your love. An Ran made a fist salute and said, "We will build a WeChat QQ group; Guilds we will also establish; We will also build a team for the next dungeon; But I hope that the brothers and sisters will give us some time, you see that the game has just started, and we are crossing the river by feeling the stones for many things, and these things have to be done step by step. ”
"Yes!"
"That's not bad at all!"
Everyone happily replied.
"What's your name, brother?" An Ran smiled and looked at the young man who looked like he was young.
"I'm screaming only tired cows." He replied a little crampedly.
"Hmmm! As Brother Niu said, in the future, we can all have fun playing together, and it is no problem to team up for a dungeon. It's just that! The rice is eaten in one bite, and you can't become a fat man after only a few bites, which Brother Niu has the most right to speak, right? An Ran looked at the cow that was only tired and quipped.
The chubby young man scratched his head shyly.
Everyone erupted in good-natured laughter again, and they felt that this handsome master did not have that kind of arrogance, but only approachable.
"The WeChat group and QQ group will be established later, and those who need to join can contact this powerful lone smoke brother next to me, well! He's our captain. What now! We've got to hand in the mission, and we'll see you again. After saying this, An Ran pulled up the desert lonely smoke and left the crowd.
Everyone was quite satisfied with An Ran's reply, after all, the master brother also had the things to do with the master brother, and it was impossible for them to ask others to put down their things to accompany them to stand here, so everyone waved goodbye to them.
"When will Brother Yanluo have time to take his little sister to practice?" A slightly graceful female warrior in the crowd asked An Ran's back.
"If you have time, you can do it, and I don't call it smoke, I call it Anron." The handsome man replied without looking back.
"Enron...... An Ran ......" The woman clasped her hands around her chest and muttered, "You will be the old lady's sooner or later." “
"Cut!" Everyone erupted in unison.
They walked out of the apricot grove and were greeted by the bleak scene peculiar to winter, it was a cloudy day, the sun was covered in thick clouds, the wind howled and blew off the leaves that were still clinging to the trees, and also blew the hair of the two men, but the wind here could not make them feel cold.
"Do you know that you just looked a bit like the kind of stall selling herbs in the town," Da Mo Guyan said with a straight smile, "The most powerful thing is that you sold me in one sentence." ”
"Oh?" An Ran looked at him playfully.
"Wait! Another one. “
The middle-aged man had to stop talking again and open the message page, where there were a bunch of friend applications flashing, he frowned and passed them one by one, and then flashed the button and message message on whether to make a voice call next to him. Since the system announced that they had broken through the dungeon, he had been dealing with these things online, and this middle-aged man was a little anxious.
"Why don't I tell you how you're a good captain?" An Ran watched him finally stop typing and quipping, "I always take into account the feelings of others, even if I am uncomfortable, I will insist." “
"You're still laughing!" Da Mo Guyan pretended to be angry and said, "You push me out at once!" Now I'm getting more news - yes! Why didn't I see you replying to a message? It stands to reason that there are not a few people who want to add your friends, right? “
"Because I don't even pay attention to them!" An Ran shrugged, "Everything must be faced one by one, so it doesn't tire people to death, what should you do in the face of harassing phone calls in your life?" ”
"I don't answer strange calls, if it's a small matter of the company, I naturally have the help of the following, and there are not many times when I really want to come forward. If a group of people in the enterprise are like a group of babies, they do not have the ability to deal with problems independently, and they need supervision and support to walk, then the leader of the enterprise has a problem, he is not a nanny, a decision-maker, and a leader who leads the team to open up territory. There's a saying that 'your management skills are high, and it depends on whether the team can run as usual when you're away.'" Of course, this involves the question of whether people manage people or systems manage people. “
"And Brother Big Smoke, you are a leader, not just a squad leader, although now and in the future, there will be occasional cameos - I used to play a game called "World of Warcraft", the presidents of those big guilds may not usually appear in front of members, only when facing a new dungeon will they control the overall unified command, or occasionally bring the brothers below who perform well, increase affinity and encourage them to continue to work hard, although they don't have much time to play with everyone, but we all respect him."
"I see what you mean, brother, why don't I think so? It's just that people just met me, and I ignored my friends, which seems to be a bit ...... It's a little ......," Da Mo Guyanzhi suddenly remembered An Ran, so he ignored all of them, so he didn't finish the rest of the words.
"It's a bit of a show, isn't it?" An Ran helped him complete, "So you are a kind person, and you often think from the position of others when you talk and do things, so that although you sometimes suffer a little loss, at least you will have a lot of sincere friends." ”
"Not necessarily, maybe some people just see you and use it as a weapon against you? Now it's not a popular phrase 'The old lady is tired of playing and wants to find an honest man to marry.' 'Is it?' ”
"What do you mean, Brother Lone Yan, are you an honest man?"
"Not really, I'm probably just like you."
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"You respect me a foot, I respect you; If you have sinned against me, you will pay it back tenfold; The face is full of pigs, and the heart is bright; Eat a little loss and set a mother-in-law - is it enough? ”
"Enough, enough!" An Ran couldn't help but laugh. "I'm thinking about how much to charge for the establishment of this WeChat and QQ group and the release of the copy guide." He scraped his chin and got to the point.
"What? Are you still going to sell dungeon raiders? Da Mo Guyan was puzzled, "Isn't this too childish in the eyes of others?" Besides, how much money can it sell for? ”
"Don't be an honest man!" An Ran replied, "For now, the people who have made friends with us and want to join the group have basically come to us to ask how to get through the dungeon, these people have different good and bad qualities, and we need a touchstone, so that we can know which people are going to go with us, and which people are ready to come to bargain." Just imagine that you can see some people clearly by making a paid dungeon guide, why not? The kind of person who rushes to the copy strategy as soon as he enters the group, and doesn't even turn around and leave after seeing the charge, this kind of person will not dare to ask for it after the gang is established. The kind of person who enters the group and buys a copy of the strategy and then leaves, maybe he is a buyer and collaborator; And those who choose to stay in the group regardless of whether they buy a copy of the raiders or not, are either brothers who are looking forward to working together, or conspirators who lurk in, of course, this is not easy to judge, it can only be that Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been in the hearts of the people for a long time. “
"There is indeed a certain amount of truth in saying this, although this will lose a lot of players, but the people who stay will be more or less the kind of people who try to walk with me, after all, if we set up a guild, we also need a group of members who have feelings for the guild - you kid is really good." The desert lonely smoke admired it.
An Ran waved his hand and smiled.
"The lack of equipment can be gradually found; If you are not good at technique, you can improve yourself through countless exercises; But if the character is too bad, it will be difficult for the gods to come. The brother we are looking for can have nothing, but we must not have no 'quality', otherwise what if we have tens of millions of people? It's not a mess yet. Having said so many great truths, in fact, the most fundamental point is, why should we give away the things we have worked so hard to study to irrelevant people? ”
"That's right, we shouldn't be honest, but this copy strategy really can't be sold for a few bucks, right? How much does it cost? A hundred? ”
"Why don't you grab it?" An Ran smiled angrily, "Brother Guyan, your brother is a full man who doesn't know how hungry he is, but I know that we, the poor people who live in dire straits, can cut out even a few dollars, when I was a child, I played games and gambled with others, and I would fight each other because of five yuan. I think it's enough for a copy raider to price ten to twenty yuan, and it's quite good to test a person's heart for a pack of cigarettes. ”
"It's up to you, anyway, it's basically up to you and Fan Yuntian to be able to get through the dungeon." Speaking of Fan Yuntian, the desert suddenly remembered something. "There is one thing that I am very strange, that is, why did Fan Yuntian push you up and be stabbed in the dungeon? It stands to reason that your relationship should be very good. ”
"This one!" An Ran laughed, "Actually, he also took a knife for me!" So I'll let the guy come out and explain it to you myself. An Ran summoned his minions.
"Ahh How did you get here? You weren't going to let me out in the first place? Fan Yuntian rubbed his eyes and reproached.
An Ran didn't bother to leave it, "Brother Lone Yan has a question for you." He said.
"Why did you push the Enron brothers up to the brass hammer of the rogue leader?" The desert lonely smoke stared at Fan Yuntian and asked solemnly.
"He said he didn't feel pain, so I'll try!" Fan Yuntian pouted, "And in that case, only his position is the most forward, if you don't push him up and block the copper hammer with his body, the horizontal wood will be smashed and we will all finish." “
"Really? Why don't you go up yourself? I thought you were going to murder your master? “
"Idiots only go up on their own, and we are not like you adventurers, it hurts to be beaten, okay? If you can beat a dog with a meat bun, why do you have to stretch out your arm? And why am I trying to murder this idiot? Lao Tzu is not stupid, and I have to rely on him to show me the world! “
Fan Yuntian's mouth is quite powerful, and the NPC kid casually scolded the desert lonely smoke, because the middle-aged man was the one who walked up and was beaten by the boss.
"You compare your master to a meat bun, but the meat bun beats a dog - there is no return."
"But you can go back, in fact, I have calculated the damage of that rogue leader, his profession is a warrior monk, and his attack power is actually not too high, so you will not be hurt or die if you hit him twice, even if you die, you can be resurrected, what's the problem?"
"Yes," An Ran added: "If we don't resist it, maybe we will destroy the group, if we destroy the group copy once it will be refreshed and reset, what a god!" The iron rider of Xiliang City stepped on the apricot forest! It's all nonsense, and there are no special circumstances for players to get off the dungeon, so how can they bring NPCs to help? It's just that these elite monsters don't know what kind of place they are staying in, and they don't know who they are. “
Suddenly, the two patrols who had been following the desert disappeared in place.
"Look at the dungeon," An Ran pointed to where the patrolmen were standing, "so they'll have to go back to the cabin again!" “
"I thought they were going to accompany us on a mission!"
"They want to, but in this world, they don't count, how long the copy is refreshed judges how long it takes for them to return to the original point. Of course, they are not painful, but they are just touching their memories and playing the role of the plot again. ”
"If we go again, Lao Tzu can still make that rogue assassin in the apricot forest call me big brother." Fan Yuntian said triumphantly.
"Of course, trust your skills." They had already reached the Dingnan Gate of Xiliang City, "How did you know that the rogue assassin was not compatible with the other three elites?" You're a fortune teller, huh? Fan Yuntian. ”
"Meng," Fan Yuntian casually slapped the green bricks of the city wall, "he and the other three hooligans are too far away, they are chatting there and he is in a daze, and we assassins are really not popular if they are good at sneak attacks." Moreover, even if he was wrong, it would not hurt, because Lao Tzu was completely sure that he would kill him immediately. “
After learning that Fan Yuntian did not want to murder An Ran, the middle-aged man in black was relieved, and he walked calmly and steadily.
"I hope this master and servant are his best mate," he thought, and crossed the gate with them.
