Chapter 4: Confusion
Fighting!
In front of Qin Ran's eyes, a battle belonging to the player was being staged. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Swords clashed, guns rang out.
The screams continued, and the white light flickered.
In just a few minutes, more than twenty players died.
And it was a garden in the distance that caused the battle.
A herb garden where a variety of herbs are grown, and many semi-finished healing potions are stored.
The herb garden itself belongs to the 'brokers'.
But after the 'broker' hid in his room, this place became ownerless, and even, when Lawless and people cautiously approached here, they found that even the herbal garden, which was originally heavily guarded, was already empty, and everyone had withdrawn.
What is left behind is a dazzling array of herbs and semi-finished healing potions.
And it was these things that triggered this battle.
When one of the players first placed the herbs and half-finished healing potions in their backpack, the battle broke out.
From a skirmish of a few people to a battle that broke out of the guild, it took less than two minutes.
"Damn it!"
"I feel like all of this was deliberately set up by that bastard of the 'broker'!"
"It's not just these two guilds, there are battles like this outside of many of that bastard's industries!"
Lawless, who got the latest news by private message, cursed in a low voice, took a hard puff on his cigar, and Lawless asked, "What should I do?" ”
"That guy is even more crisp than he thought!"
"Believe me, the 'broker' is not a guy who is willing to spit out all the benefits he has...... Soon, he'll be taking it back, and he'll have interest attached! ”
Qin Ran looked at the players fighting in the distance and said in a deep voice.
He knew very well that after such a fight, the guild formed by these players would definitely be greatly damaged, and when facing the counterattack of the 'brokers', the combat effectiveness could be imagined.
If you don't collapse at the first touch, it can be considered to be substantial.
Obviously, lawlessness also knows this.
"I'm going to tell those guys about what is going on here, and I hope they calm down."
As he spoke, Lawless began to contact the guild leaders he knew.
Looking at his friend, Qin Ran shook his head silently in his heart.
Everything in front of you is no longer something that can be stopped by a word or two of persuasion.
Want to stop the red-eyed players in front of you?
Unless he takes it personally now.
But Qin Ran believed that his joining would not only not change anything, but would also make the situation worse and worse.
Moreover, Qin Ran guessed that the 'broker' wished that he, Lawless and others were involved.
You must know that people die for money, and birds die for food.
Qin Ran could already imagine what kind of rumors would appear if he stopped the killing among these players and 'monopolized' this benefit.
'2567 has discovered legendary equipment in the secret base of the 'broker'! ’
'2567 found the Legendary Skill Book in the broker's secret base! ’
Such rumors will definitely spread among players.
Qin Ran believed that since the 'brokers' had simply given up these industries, they had already prepared everything.
Even, there will really be one or two legendary-level items and skill books in some places.
However, Qin Ran didn't do nothing.
"Inform the guildmasters, beware of those who are the first to pick up the things in the 'broker' industry and stir up disputes, they may be the secret children left by the 'brokers'."
Qin Ran said.
Lawless was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
I quickly sent these private messages to the guild leaders I knew.
But the few replies speak for themselves.
"These guys!"
Annoyed lawlessness slammed the wall next to it.
Whew, swoop.
The sound of heavy breathing made Lawless look like an angry bull.
After more than ten seconds, there was no genius to calm down.
"What exactly does the broker want to do?"
Lawlessness, who calmed down, thought of this question for the first time.
"I don't know!"
"Do you know any of the people in the 'Secret City' who are cooperating with the 'brokers'?"
Qin Ran shook his head.
Regarding what the 'brokers' did, Qin Ran really didn't know.
Even if there is speculation, it is only speculation.
Rather than such speculation, he prefers to start with reality and obtain more information.
"I didn't!"
"But one person does!"
Lawless replied.
"Steinbeck?"
Qin Ran reacted immediately.
"Hmm."
"Come with me, let's talk to him."
Lawless said, turned around and walked towards the station.
Qin Ran quickly followed.
……
The meeting with Steinbeck went well.
In an extremely ordinary-looking villa with a garden, Qin Ran and Lawless saw Steinbeck.
Of course, the 'ordinary' here refers to the identity of Steinbeck.
In the original guess, Qin Ran thought that the other party lived in the palace.
Instead of wearing civilian clothes, wearing an apron and holding gardening tools, he stood in the small garden.
Looking at Steinbeck, who was holding scissors and a watering can, and was processing a potted plant, Qin Ran was a little stunned, and the mimosa under the backlight had an extremely quiet atmosphere.
It's like a small white flower in the morning light.
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at his friend beside him.
Lawlessness walked past as if unconscious.
"Good day, Steinbeck."
"Can you introduce us to a few big people in the 'Secret City' except for the 'brokers'?"
After a simple greeting, Lawless said directly.
"Did something happen?"
Steinbeck put down his gardening tools and looked at lawlessness in bewilderment.
Lawless glanced back at Qin Ran, and after Qin Ran nodded, he immediately said what had happened.
"I see."
Steinbeck let out a long sigh.
"You know?"
"Tell me what's going on?"
Lawless was stunned for a moment, and immediately overjoyed.
"I'm sorry."
"I have a contractual relationship with the 'broker', and I can't tell a third person about this - I didn't expect the 'broker' to be so jealous of you as 2567."
"Looks like you're the one with a good chance!"
Steinbeck said apologetically.
Then, he looked at Qin Ran with a strange gaze.
This kind of strange gaze made Qin Ran involuntarily think of the gaze of some people after seeing the rare treasures.
Qin Ran couldn't help frowning.
But Steinbeck was no longer pressed.
As a player, he is well aware of the power of the Contract.
"Damn!"
"Damn profiteers!"
Lawless gritted his teeth and swung his fist.
Although he knew that there was no malicious intent, Steinbeck's personality still made him cower in fright, and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Qin Ran on the side supported the other party.
"Thank you."
"I'm always going to get into trouble with a personality like this......"
Before the words could be spoken, Steinbeck's whole body suddenly trembled, as if he had seen something terrible.
At the same time, Qin Ran only felt a heat in his arms.
The Sword of Dawn (sub-scroll) flew out on its own.
