Chapter 24: The Mean

Just when Chu Yun was struggling with his identity, a middle-aged scholar next to him who seemed to be elegant came to Chu Yun's side with a paper fan and a smile on his face.

"I have heard for a long time that Duan Gongzi is melancholy, he is the dragon and phoenix among people, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of his reputation."

Chu Yun didn't know the identity of the other party, so he could only remain silent about it, and only smiled slightly.

However, the middle-aged man didn't care, and was still flattering beside Chu Yun, and the other people in the inn also began to surround him to compliment.

This made Chu Yun secretly complain, the power of that Duan family seemed to be stronger than he expected, and he even had the title of 'Heavenly Sword', if his identity was a goof, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

The young man named Xie Zhiqiang also showed a look of surprise, obviously surprised by the special identity of Chu Yun.

"Looks like he doesn't know who I am." Chu Yun was a little surprised in his heart, he had also asked the fat man if others could see the blood bar before, and the result he got was that there was no concept of the blood bar at all.

Now it seems that other players really have difficulty seeing the strange health bar.

This also shows how powerful the realism of the game is, so that there is no difference between the player and the NPC.

"With Duan Gongzi here, then our plan will be easier to implement, even if it is discovered by the army's patrol team, it shouldn't matter, I'm afraid that even a few generals will give Duan Gongzi a face." Someone next to him said, I don't know if he was telling the truth or deliberately touting.

"In that case, then we will prepare immediately, I will contact the familiar soldiers, and we will meet in this inn at this moment tomorrow, and then we will go south together to see if we can cross the battlefield." Xie Zhiqiang said excitedly, it seems that he is also very concerned about entering the land of Bashu.

"Okay." Chu Yun naturally couldn't ask for his proposal, he couldn't stay in this game all the time, he had to find an opportunity to quit the game to rest, and Xie Zhiqiang's proposal just gave him a chance.

Of course, since Xie Zhiqiang is likely to be a player from reality, he should do it for himself.

However, because his identity as 'Duan Yu' has attracted the attention of many people, it is difficult for him to get out of the game.

For this reason, Chu Yun had to wander around the city in order to completely get rid of those who tried to follow him.

In addition to wandering around, he also knows more about the world, and after thousands of years of evolution, the current level of social development around him is somewhat similar to that of the Ming Dynasty in history.

"Is this what the Earth would be like without Newton......

Chu Yun sighed in his heart, and at the same time, unconsciously, he had walked to a secluded place, and when he saw that there was no one around, he was ready to take the opportunity to quit the game.

However, at this moment, an unusually familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which startled him a lot.

He hurriedly followed the voice quietly, only to see several people in a corner discussing something with each other, one of whom was the young man named Xie Zhiqiang he had just met not long ago.

What surprised him even more was that the other three people who were discussing with Xie Zhiqiang actually had blood bars on the top of their heads!

"These guys are in a group."

Chu Yun's heart moved, and he immediately eavesdropped intently, but when he heard the conversation of these people clearly, he was already able to completely confirm that they were indeed players from reality.

Because these guys speak English!

"This is a very hidden way of communication...... Chu Yun sighed in his heart.

The NPCs in this game world are certainly non-English-speaking, and players are not in danger of leaking their secrets even if they talk casually.

Chu Yun's English level is not bad, and he can roughly understand what these people are saying.

But what left him speechless was that the men were talking about how to plan the pit tomorrow to kill those who were trying to make it through the battlefield...... Among them is his 'Duan Gongzi'.

"This is being treated as a fat sheep." Chu Yun was shocked and angry in his heart, but it was not easy to do it at the moment, so he had to quietly retreat into the distance, and then find a safe corner to quit the game.

After exiting the game, he immediately went to the fat manager and told him that he had found a city called 'Yongcheng'.

"Yongcheng? You've already arrived in Yongcheng? This is really good, it seems that you have completely walked out of the Qinling Mountains. The fat man was also quite excited when he heard this, and it seemed that it was indeed very relevant to his situation.

"Yes, manager, do you know that Yongcheng? Don't know where that is in reality? It looks like there's a war going on over there. Chu Yun immediately asked curiously.

"The Yongcheng of that world should be in the Zhushan area of Hubei Province in reality, also known as Shangyong, in that game world, it originally belonged to the Yong Kingdom, and later the Chu State united the Qin State and the Ba State to destroy the Yong State, but because the three kingdoms destroyed together, the territory in this area has been in the struggle, because it is close to the road to Shu, and now Chu and Wei are fighting for hegemony, and this place has naturally become the most fierce battle." The fat man laughed.

"Then how do I avoid that battlefield, but there are other ways to get into Bashu?" Chu Yun hurriedly asked, he believed that the fat man must know more about the game world.

"There is still a road to Shu, but it needs to go around a long way, and it may not be too late at that time, I will go to see if there is anyone near Yongcheng who can answer you, and there should be someone in the company who is active over there." The fat man groaned.

"I found other players in Yongcheng City, one of them is named Xie Zhiqiang, a young man." Chu Yun hurriedly said.

"You've met other players?" The fat man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Yes."

"How did you recognize them? Xie Zhiqiang...... This should not be from our company. The fat man frowned as he spoke.

"I heard them talking, and they were speaking English, and they seemed to be trying to use the battlefield to trap a group of NPCs." Chu Yun smiled bitterly.

The fat man couldn't help but let out a sneer when he heard this: "English...... I see, those guys are too careless, and the people from our company will definitely not do this. ”

"And where are they from?" Chu Yun asked curiously.

"Where did they come from...... Now that you've met it, I have to tell you some information about it, so that you don't suffer at that time. The fat man said after a moment of silence.

"You should already know that the game was not actually made by our company, in fact, the game has no owner, and no one even knows how it appeared, maybe it just appeared, or maybe it has been around for eternity, but we only recently discovered it." The fat man said as he stuffed his fat body into the chair, and when he leaned back in the chair, the whole chair made a noise, as if it was about to be crushed at any moment.

"Always there?" Chu Yun's face suddenly turned slightly pale.

"Yes, you don't need to ask me why, this matter can't be explained by any scientific theory, the number of scientists who have died of exhaustion in order to study the game world is at least five figures, but the only gain so far is to make a bunch of relatively easy to use virtual helmets, which can make it easier for people to enter the game world, if you wanted to enter the game world before, you need very expensive and complex equipment." The fat man smiled and spread his hands.

Chu Yun opened his mouth, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again.

What he wanted to ask was why he could use the skills in the game in reality, but since he couldn't even explain the appearance of the game, he was afraid that this question would be in vain.

"You don't have to think too much, just try to survive in that game, and then there will naturally be unexpected gains for you, and even completely change your life, in fact...... That game could change everyone's life. The fat man sighed slightly.

"Changing everyone's lives?"

"Yes, as it becomes easier and easier to enter that game world, more and more people will naturally enter in the future, and although we are not the first to enter it, we are still relatively early in the group, and we can still occupy some advantages, but there are many people who entered at the same time as us, and they all belong to other game companies, and the Xie Zhiqiang you see in the game should be someone from other companies." The fat man laughed.

"It's someone from another company...... So how to deal with it? Chu Yun asked confusedly.

"If you can kill it, kill it, your peers are enemies, and it's no good to keep them." The fat man smiled faintly.
