Chapter 134: After all, it's an old player

Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Β·

I asked the female mage, "What does the full server announcement say?" She looked at me in amazement. Before she could ask, I shrugged my shoulders and said, "That's right, I have amnesia. ”

They laughed.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Amnesia." The mage covered her mouth and chuckled, "Here's the thing: not long ago, a piece of red text appeared on the screen of all players' phones, "Congratulations, Lao Tzu's marriage proposal has been successful!" Wha!" Such. We understand how excited you were at the time, but after all, there was an agreement in advance, and we had already bought the full server announcement that you swiped out with the "Public Opinion Alliance". I hope you pay attention next time. ”

Successful proposal? I knew that there would be no mistakes in a mere Arulan, it would be easy.

The corners of their mouths couldn't help but raise, causing them to laugh again.

I scratched my head: "You guys have a good relationship." ”

They laughed even harder. The purple suit forced a smile and explained that the relationship between the five of them was very poor at the beginning, they were all not together, and they were both players, either they died or died, and it was a miracle to form a business alliance like now.

I can feel that they have a good story, but it has nothing to do with me.

"Oh yes, you just said, "It's good that you came by yourself," right?" I approached the purple suit and walked side by side with him and asked, "Could it be that the spatial rift that summoned me can also teleport multiple people?" ”

"Yes. You're not the first player we've invited, but you're the first to come alone. After that, he looked at the other four people and laughed in unison, "Should we say that you are a master of art and bold, or are you not deeply involved in the world?" After all, this is the territory of "other players", and we are flattered that you can trust Shangmeng so much. ”

Four words for other players, he accentuated his tone.

His meaning is clear: we don't intend to harm you. But as long as we have that idea, it's easy to get rid of you who came alone. I don't know if you trust us too much, or if you're too stupid.

I twitched my cheeks. Don't say that I'm just a doppelganger who is not afraid of death, just because you frogs at the bottom of the well also want to kill me?

I was a little displeased, and they saw my sadness, but they still smiled without the slightest intention of apologizing or explaining. Perhaps trying to test my measurements?

Grace, grace.

I admonished myself repeatedly, and then went on to ask, "So, who did you think I was going to bring with you?" ”

"Who?" The purple suit was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled, "No, none of your defeated players and NPCs can accept this invitation, except for your only appointed player, Yarulan." In fact, we were worried that she would come, so we gathered together to greet you. Now it seems a bit ......"

There's a bit of a fuss, isn't it?

Then I realized that their smiles were not mocking, but there was a faint displeasure, because it was a relaxed attitude that included calmnessβ€”I was looked down upon. No, they knew I was strong and wanted to work with me, but they obviously didn't think I was stronger than Yarulan.

"Why are you looking for me when you think Yarulan is stronger? Just because I'm the "master"? ”

"I'm really in a hurry to get to the point." The purple suit sighed, "We have prepared a banquet, and we planned to talk about it slowly and in detail during the banquet, but ...... All right. Not only because you are the "master" of Yarulan, but also because she runs counter to the purpose of our business alliance. Don't you know that your subordinate is a dangerous woman who has been intent on destroying the world? ”

Destroy the world?

This suddenly reminded me of my first meeting with Yarulan. This is indeed her style. I don't know what she thinks now, but I guess I'm bent on returning to reality, and I'm not interested in destroying the world anymore. No, she did make it clear that she wanted to destroy the mobile game completely, more than once!

At this time, I didn't know that the main body had dispelled Yarulan's intention to destroy the mobile game, so I fell silent in the face of the purple suit.

The other party spread his hands and smiled: "It seems that you also know, but there is no way." ”

I stepped out of a magical stone archway, and a kilometer ahead was the castle of the player's merchants. The red brick road beneath your feet is lined with wilderness, and it seems that it has experienced hundreds of battles in the past, and it is seen that hundreds of people are cleaning up the battlefield. Electric welding cuts through dead machines that tanks and planes don't even have names, drags the bones of behemoths or fragments of building ruins, and despite the craters and scorched earth on the ground, there is not a single corpse.

Seeing me staring at the side, they explained, "In order to farm more resources, we used the ability to increase the frequency of PVE, so we didn't have time to clean the battlefield for a long time. But for some reason, PVE suddenly stopped a few days ago. Speaking of which, the purple suit looked quite helpless, saying that it was missing a big profit, "This strange phenomenon seems to have swept all players, and a few are happy and a few are sad." ”

With that, he stared at me.

I am silent.

At the beginning, in order to stabilize Yarulan's mood, he chose to "not send an announcement that the game stopped some functions", and it seems that he did the right thing, and now he has caught up with Yarulan, and the latter has not gone berserk or blackened. But on the other hand, it is inexplicable for other players. I don't care about that.

Anyway, I played a fake mobile game, and it has nothing to do with me, whether it's urban construction or PVE.

Behind the towering walls that shimmered with magical brilliance, I passed through the grand gates that looked like giants and were amazed by the sight before me.

The guys who cleaned the battlefield just now seem to be "leaders", and the facial features on their faces are quite blurry as if they have been mosaic, and they don't have much IQ from the way they walk, typical NPCs unique to games. There are hundreds of them, and there are no more than a dozen of them, and then they change colors. I can't see the face clearly, there is no floating name above the head, and I can't tell who is who at all, a typical passerby face character.

In addition to them, there are nearly 100 people who are active within the city walls, and because of the foil of the people, they are so standing out like the red in front of the green leaves.

It's a fantasy country, and if one day a game helmet becomes a reality, I guess the MMORPG of the new era is exactly what it looks like. In the territory established by a large number of background NPCs, there are countless people with aura, equipment, and brilliant shapes, each doing their own thing. A mage with a witch's hat and a broomstick, a tall leather-armored brute with a three-chained mace, a green-haired archer with long ears, a warrior in armor covered in spikes, and an engineer girl riding her own moving cannon. Some people were just chatting happily, while others were constantly waving hammers and pounding on their metal felt equipment, some were swaying with their mosaic faces and big-breasted collars seemed to have drunk a lot, and some were jumping lightly between the roofs in their night clothes. I know they're defeated players or NPCs, like white-collar prisoners or Baka Bunny, but they certainly don't remember being from reality. Not everyone is lucky enough to meet Yarulan and preserve their memories. But they live here.

But why are there so many defeated players? It stands to reason that there are a maximum of 6 people per territory.

"Curious why there are so many NPCs, right?" As if seeing my question, the purple suit explained, "There are more than fifty members of our business alliance, and there are hundreds of peripheral members. While only core members are welcome to travel freely to and from our territory, whether for material exchanges or gatherings, the periphery members ...... After all, we are both players, and the risk is greater, so we refuse. However, their NPCs can come on their behalf. We're the biggest player pool in the entire game, and the opportunities are endless. ”

With that, he pointed to someone in the crowd. Judging by the costume, the opponent should also be a defeated player, but his expression is a little sluggish. According to the purple suit, it was a "player" who did not have the ability to traverse, and brought his NPC with him. He was traveling with the character on his phone. As I said this, I remembered that this dull expression was indeed quite similar to that of the leader I met by chance in that magical cave.

"You just happened to see the busiest period." Purple Suit smiled, "Due to the cessation of PVE for no reason, many players are short of resources, and the market here is immediately bursting as you can see." Of course, there are a lot of people in normal times. ”

Everything is available here.

Originally, this was not the case, but due to the interaction between players, the largest main city of the Shangmeng has been transformed into a large bazaar of all the technology trees, regardless of the variety of weapons and equipment. Of course, it doesn't include artifact-level goods, that kind of thing is too rare for NPCs to create, and it's too time-consuming and laborious to collect.

"There's an auction tonight. It's early in the morning, I mean after the sun has set. Is Mr. Seven Nights Turbid interested? ”

Auction?

The idea of not spending a penny and then killing people flashed through me, and then I waved it out of my mind.

I looked at the guards around me who were armed to the teeth, and just took out my phone but was suddenly stopped by two big hands grabbing my wrists!

I looked at the person holding out my hand, but it was the purple suit and the giant sword warrior who shot at the same time.

They seemed upset, but still squeezed out a polite smile: "Mr. Nanaya, you may not know...... One of the polite behaviors to live peacefully with other players is: "Don't touch your phone". ”

I nodded.

I don't know why, but let's do as the locals do. Actually, I just wanted to scan how many levels those guards had.

This is really bad news. If you don't touch your phone, there are a lot of abilities that can't be activated.

They went on to explain: "Actually, we are very dangerous people, and we have a high lethality. You can imagine this as a gathering of a large group of drug dealers or gangsters, and the mobile phone is the "pistol". Whether you're planning to wipe your gun or do maintenance, pulling it out is a nerve-wracking act for everyone. You understand, right? ”

I nodded again.

"Also, since the moment we entered the castle, no one but the five of us have been able to use abilities other than 'own'. We banned it. ”

"Then you still ......!"

"I'll tell you the truth, since a brain-dead player pulled out his phone in our castle and activated his own ability to swap our castle with his, all of us have been very sensitive to the act of "pulling out our phone". Of course, in the end we skinned him and replaced the castle back, hehe. You never know what "abilities" can bring, the possibilities are almost endless. ”

I blinked, what kind of person would get the ability to swap castles? It's probably called "Metamorphosis."

After a brief visit to the castle, we sat down in the middle of the banquet.

"What a magnificent castle!" I didn't hesitate to praise it, "How long has it been in business?" ”

"It's been three years since I thought about it, right?" They laughed again, "Speaking of which, the five of us can be regarded as friends of life and death. ”

I looked around at the resplendent above my head, "So whose castle is this among the five of you?" ”

"We're all in this together."

"Huh?" I was shocked, "What the hell is the common thing?" ”

They laughed.

The purple suit wiped away the tears of laughter: "We understand your feelings very well, it's really weird, right?" But that's what happened. You know that if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing, right? He pointed to his temple, "We really saw the marquee." It may be that the brain has been stimulated so much that it has gained a new ability, the "combo ability," a special ability that the five of us share. ”

I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

"Even though we have lived and died together, we still can't avoid disputes at first, because there are so many differences in personalities." He exchanged glances with the others, full of friendship, "Then we came to a consensus: say anything. While this exacerbates conflicts, it actually reduces the brewing of suspicion and resentment. So there are a lot of people who think that we have some chatter, but there is actually a reason. ”

I raised my hand to stop and said, "No, I'm not interested in the cause and effect of your idol group. ”

"It's fine. So let's get down to business. "Let's raise a glass together," Danway has brought your agreement back, since Mr. is an urgent son, let's just say it. First, we know that you can travel to the deep world of the game, and it's very curious. Anything you smuggle through the journey can be handed over to Danvi, but remember, we only trade these items in real life. ”

"Why?"

"We have a relationship with state power, and they are interested in the game Otherworld. We sell them as research materials. Of course, we may resell some goods to others, and the higher price will be paid, as for these details......"

"Confidentiality, of course, I'm not interested."

The purple suit nodded with satisfaction, and held his chin with both hands back: "Very good." Second, we intend to send a team to your "prison" at once to make arrangements for the use there. If you're curious, it doesn't hurt to tell you about this partner, there will be four uses: an underground gladiatorial arena, a black market, and a staging post for war. And these need to be held in your name. ”

I couldn't help but stand up and knock over the wine glass on the table.

They exchanged glances.

The purple suit beckoned to me: "Mr. Qiye Turbidity, don't get excited, listen to my explanation." You may not know exactly how many players are collecting other people's battle records in order to survive in PVP, and then no PVP can record or have an audience, nothing but word of mouth. If you can see other people's live PVP performances, I believe that there will be a very, very many people who are willing to buy tickets. Who wouldn't want to be happy in the bloody violence and learn some combat skills? As for the contestants...... There are always some people who can't pay their debts, you know. Of course, automatic participation is welcome, but it is estimated that the treatment is completely different from the former. ”

I scratched my head. This seems to be very similar to the underground boxing arena that Wang Zheng has participated in, as long as the strength is outstanding, he will soon pay off his debts. "But, there's only one death in this kind of competition, right?"

"Admittedly, PVP, there are no draws." The purple suit continued indifferently, as if he was indifferent to the life and death of others, "As for the reappearance of the rules of PVP, we will arrange all the trivial matters such as the safety and security of the audience, the maintenance of order, and the decoration, you don't have to worry, you just need to stand on a dazzling and gorgeous high platform every time and raise your sword to announce the "start of the game". You can be a hero, or we can hide behind the scenes and hold on to the good name of the business alliance. Naturally, the reward will not be less than yours. ”

Forehead.

I don't think they're counting on me to be a referee, but they're turning this "underground deathmatch casino" into a "Seven Nights Cup". Could it be that the business alliance actually has a very high reputation, so it is unwilling to come forward to engage in these dirty deeds in person?

"Thirdly, there won't be games all the time. During the break, we will hold a black market. ”

I held my forehead: "Wait, aren't you all reselling everything?" What else is needed for the black market? ”

They were stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "We don't touch drugs, organs, brainwashing, assassinations, lots and lots of them. For the time being, hehe. ”

"You mean...... Buying and selling for reality? ”

"Not only that, but we in the Business Alliance intend to sell everything in the black market, including reality, games, and even the King Space. In fact, we have just discovered the gap and unlimited potential market that has entered the King Fight Space, and the only thing missing is your "Deep Game Otherworld", sir. There was originally only one sign on the black market, and it would be the words "any sale", hehe. ”

What a big breath!

I don't know how many abilities, how many players, how many real-world magnates they have assembled, but does "any trade" include eternal? President? Nuclear weapon? Class 101?

Without waiting for me to recover from the shock, he continued, "Fourth, no one has been able to lead an army into someone else's territory, and your 'prison' is a breakthrough that can be used as a staging point for war with one of our abilities. It is foreseeable that with our mediation, one player will lead all the NPCs and armies to assemble in your prison and then march on other players' territories. All you need to do is: allow. ”

With that, he pushed a piece of paper from the dining table: "Fifth, we hope that you will make this announcement immediately, three times in a row." ”

"We, the Player Alliance, have successfully stopped PVE and given everyone a safer gaming environment!"

I almost jumped in anger, but I held back my composure, as they were all watching my reaction like snakes staring at frogs. Sure enough, I was suspected. If they can expose that I am the culprit of eliminating PVE, if not, they plan to use this to announce the strength of the Shangmeng to all players - "We are already in control of a part of the core function of this game"!

I'm not a good liar.

Thinking about it in hindsight, when they told me that "they don't know why PVE stopped", and now they claim that they did it, my normal reaction would have been "to question this", and if it was debunked, it would have been "directly stated that I did it", but I didn't, nothing. Because I didn't react at all, they knew...... I actually know the truth about the disappearance of PVE.

However, I pretended to be calm.

"So, Mr. Nanaya, do you have any opinions?" The purple suit stared at me and said, "Although we don't want to hear the opposition, it's definitely better than saying yes and regretting it afterwards." There are dissatisfaction between the five of us, and I hope you can do the same. Otherwise, when we have officially invested manpower and material resources but have been betrayed, Shangmeng will not remain silent. ”

Very good.

At first, it was to show their sincerity, then to show that they were useful, and finally to show that they were worthy.

I spread my hands: "Since you said so, it actually ......"

A, I have a problem with the acquisition of items

B, I have an opinion about the underground gladiatorial arena

C, I have an opinion about the black market

D, I have an opinion about the war staging post

E, I have a problem with your ridiculous announcement

F, I don't have an opinion at all, so let's make a deal

"Finally, please interrogate this guy now." With that, the purple suit clapped his hands, and several mosaic-faced guards immediately pushed the door in, and there was an embarrassed man with a black hood.

Untie the hood.

Liu Shao!

I suddenly felt lightheaded. Why! Why are the real people here! Is he also a gamer? But why are you only wearing a shirt, it should be an armored robe or something like that!

The purple suit noticed my strange appearance and asked suspiciously, "What, do you know?" ”

1. "It's so ugly that it scares me." ”

2. "He's a non-player in the real world, right?" It's kidnapping, it's a crime! ”

3. "Some origins. ”

4, "Unbelievable, why should we interrogate him, isn't it good to kill him directly!" ”
