163 The birth of the Secret Shadow guild
Wutong felt embarrassed, he rarely went to the supermarket to buy something in a hundred years, but he didn't expect to pick up an uncle and a Lori back, and Lori also picked it up twice
However, since he temporarily took in Uncle and Lori, Wutong decided to make a hearty lunch to fill everyone's stomachs, especially a certain hungry uncle.
However, when Wutong walked into the kitchen and looked at the large mess of ingredients he bought, he was shocked to find that he didn't know how to cook!
And the uncle, who originally held the identity of "housekeeper", after following up the kitchen with confidence and great skills, stood side by side with Wutong, and looked at the pile of ingredients with blank eyes for a while, and was ashamed to death.
In the end, Wutong and an uncle, a Lori, the three of them were fed with nutritious meals, bread and snacks for lunch, and the uncle rushed to clean up the messy coffee table that was messed up by the little Lori, and sat on the sofa, and the three of them stared at each other and didn't know what to do.
"Uh, why don't I go and tidy up the lawn" Uncle Cheng Yubin looked up at the courtyard outside the house in embarrassment, but found that the lawn and vines in the yard were very elegantly trimmed, and he couldn't help choking when he remembered that when he came in just now, the lawn and nursery of the entire manor did not need to be tidied up in the slightest.
"Then I'll clean up and wash my clothes" Cheng Yubin was a little at a loss and wanted to find something to do, but obviously he had been hit and automatically lowered the position of "housekeeper" to the level of "maid".
Wutong couldn't help but say: "The whole manor is the only one who has people living in this villa, there is nothing to clean, there will be a housekeeping company to clean up the clothes regularly, and the toilet has a full intelligent cleaning machine, just throw it in." Uncle, why don't you go take a shower? β
To be able to live in the manor alone for so long, Wutong relies on high technology, throw the clothes into the intelligent washing machine before taking a bath, and put them on again after taking a bath, how can there be any clothes that need to be cleaned.
The uncle looked down at himself, and fled in embarrassment, leaving Wutong and Xiaoxiao staring at each other, Wutong said strangely: "Xiaoxiao, what happened to your family after you went offline?" Why did you run out on your own? The family will be worried, right? β
When the little Lori heard this, she immediately burst into tears, looking like she would cry if you asked me again, Wutong had to have a headache and said: "Xiaoxiao, my brother welcomes you to live with me, but you always have to tell your family, right?" β
Xiaoxiao didn't care so much, shaking his little head desperately.
Sighing, Wutong didn't say anything, he looked at the small personal information terminal on Xiao Lori's slender wrist, in this era, there is really no such thing as a lost child, let's wait for the parents to come to the door themselves.
Seeing that Wutong was no longer verbose and looking for her family, Little Lori secretly looked up at Wutong for a while, smiled sweetly, and even shook the brand-new children's version of the information terminal on her little wrist a little proudly.
After sitting for a while, the uncle also came out of the shower, the whole person looked much cleaner, the suit, also neat and new, the half-length hair was meticulously combed, and there was really a bit of a housekeeper's style, the only thing that was not perfect was that there was no razor here in the sycamore, and the uncle's somewhat embarrassing beard made him look a little decadent.
The atmosphere became boring all of a sudden, there are no entertainment facilities here in Wutong, everyone is bored to sit and sit, okay? Usually he has to sleep more than fifteen hours a day, and he doesn't need too many entertainment facilities, and depending on the time, it's also time for him to take a nap, Wutong can't help but feel a little sleepy, no matter how good the "golden sleep" effect of "Endless" is, it can't change the problem of his physique being super garbage.
"Brother, why don't we still play games?" Xiaoxiao is obviously bored.,There's no little monkey to play with her in reality.,In the game,For little Lori,,There's too much fun stuff.γ
"Uh, yes!"
Wutong was flustered, remembering that "Endless" can actually enter the game during the day, but he can't leave the safe area, he actually has a lot of things to do in the city, such as processing prey, such as studying the homework assigned to him by the old mage.
When I think of that terrible "homework", Sycamore feels that there is some time short, and for him, no amount of time seems to be enough! , but Wutong glanced at the dazed uncle and scratched his head a little: "Uncle, do you play games?" β
"Playing games?" The uncle shook his head blankly, but quickly reacted: "Boss, you mean "Endless World"? I didn't play! Although I've been in contact with its planning before, uh, I didn't have time to play games before, but now I have time, and it's good to play. He smiled wryly, Uncle with a story. The account login of "Endless" is automatically generated, but you need to go to the distribution point of the official agency of "Endless", and with your citizenship information, you can receive a set of free "brainwave acceptance plug-ins" and "subliminal sensors".
In terms of dealing with things, the uncle is obviously very experienced, he called a taxi through the personal information terminal, Wutong transferred the last more than 100 yuan of living expenses to him as a fare, and it was only twenty minutes to go and come, and he got back a pair of login devices, and Wutong had just settled the room for Xiao Lori.
""Endless" seems to be able to bind the guardian account, uncle, you can bind the account to Xiaoxiao, so that you can log in from where we are." Wutong vaguely remembers that there is such an item in the materials he has read.
Uncle doesn't seem to have much interest in playing games.,Nod,Naturally, he changed his role from "maid" to "nanny" again.,Positioned to enter the game to take care of little Lori.,In addition, he silently expressed his behavior.,If they appear in the game at the same time as Wutong.,To prevent him from worrying about what he, a stranger, will do in reality when he enters the light sleep mode of "Endless".
Although in the manor, there is no need to worry about what an uncle like him can do, the current security system is very perfect, otherwise, Wutong would not dare to bring in a dangerous stranger casually, who looks like an uncle of a former successful person, and will not be naΓ―ve enough to think that a place like Bauhinia Manor will not be under the scope of the "Skynet" security system.
A room was also arranged for the uncle, and the weird trio entered the game again
As soon as he entered the second space "Endless World" game platform, Wutong heard "Ding! After a pause, Wutong reacted, and the mailbox bound to the account received a new email!
Wutong was pleasantly surprised and quickly opened the mailbox interface, and sure enough, he saw a letter from the sender: "Marketing Planning Department of Asian American Agency Area" with the title: ""Endless" Trial Island Scope Market Research and Analysis Report".
Open it and read this not too long document,Wutong summed it up,Probably the meaning of the "Raiders" writer analyzed that with the development of the player group,The restrictions on the learning of various professional and craft skills in the game will gradually be relaxed,More players will be exposed to and master a variety of craft skills,And deduce that in a short period of time,The price of various resources in the game will have a short blowout value-added period,Players' demand for various equipment and production raw materials will increase greatly
"This strategy doesn't seem to be of much use?"
Wutong felt that he must not be short of materials, turned off this boring market research, Wutong flipped through the letter again, and found the email of "Technical Closed Test Phase 2 Report" sent by the "Group 1 of the Internal Testing Department of the Asian American Agency Area", Wutong's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened it and read it carefully, remembering all the content in his mind as much as possible
Re-opened his eyes in the hotel room of "Endless",Wutong immediately saw the little Lori lying on the side of the bed,Excited little Lori after entering the game,It seems to be lively all of a sudden.,After yelling to pull him up,And happily ran to knock on the next room without it.,But Wutong found that the door of the room without a sign of the vacant room had already been hung.,It seems that they entered the game earlier.γ
Holding the little Lori who jumped and jumped happily, Wutong went straight to the warehouse, and in the long night once every three days, there were only sporadic players in the quiet streets, and most of them should be offline, and only idlers like him would have nothing to do in reality, and run into the game again to pass the time.
The original uninhabited public reserve warehouse area,Because Wutong they rented a large and a small warehouse as an acquisition location,It has become a place for players to gather in a short period of time,When Wutong came over again,I found that they had been busy here for a long time after half a cigarette went offline together,These guys are probably forced to go offline,Simply dealt with the physiological needs in reality,I can't wait to go online againγ ,
None is here, and has already begun to peel the leather there, and they are working on half a cigarette, and a large group of players who have been hired by half a cigarette are diligently sorting the various materials piled up in the warehouse, and they are busy.
Seeing Wutong reappear with little Lori, half a cigarette and the blood-killing lion's eyes lit up, and he threw down the work in his hand to greet him, Wutong nodded to them, let go of the little Lori, and let her run to Wu's side with the embarrassing monkey.
Because there are still players to sell things sporadically, half a cigarette is specially arranged for personnel reception, the two bosses of the "Pastoral" family are not there, half a cigarette is considered to be the person who speaks in the team, and the blood-killing lion is now a little embarrassed in this team because of the unhappiness that happened with the "Blood-killing" guild before.
"It seems that after leaving the teleportation guide in each village on the return trip tomorrow, we need to leave a person in charge in each village." Wutong thought about it for a moment and asked if half of the cigarette had a trustworthy candidate.
"Mr. Mu, Guangguang and Huahua's dozen or so classmates should be able to handle the task of being in charge of the village, but the other players of the "Pastoral" family are all members of their brothers' temporary recruitment, so I am afraid of credibility."
Half of the cigarette hesitated for a moment: "Guangguang and Huahua have developed their classmates and friends into the downline of the organization, but they don't know the existence of the organization, we are dealing with it in the name of establishing a group, although it is not an official force in "Endless" for the time being, but once the time comes to open the task of establishing a player mercenary group and a player adventure guild, we will immediately establish this group."
He glanced at Wutong worriedly: "Please forgive me for not passing your consent to this matter, we just went offline and privately met in reality, and decided to develop this group into a public identity of the organization in "Endless", in order to develop those classmates and friends of Huahua to join the organization, so temporarily announced to them that the group name is tentatively "Secret Shadow" Guild, so that we can serve the organization as an open player."
Wutong was a little surprised, it was just because of jokes, and the "organization" that came out of nonsense actually developed into a guild for these guys, but it's good to think about it, it's just convenient for him to entrust these players to deal with some things that require a lot of manpower for him.
And when Ban Yan said this, he didn't shy away from killing the blood lion, so Wutong turned his attention to the somewhat cramped blood killing lion, and half Yan hurriedly explained: "Brother Lion has joined our organization and roughly knows the situation of our organization, but he doesn't know the details of the situation, it's the same as us." β
To put it bluntly, this inexplicable "organization" doesn't say that the "elders" of half a cigarette, pastoral flowers, and pastoral scenery don't know what's going on, and even the "founder" of Wutong himself doesn't know what's going on, anyway, everyone knows in a daze that there is a "mysterious organization" standing behind the "Secret Shadow" guild.
And knowing that there is a "mysterious organization", it is only four people, such as Half Smoke, Pastoral Flower, Pastoral Scenery, and Blood Lion, and the other members only know that there is a "big force" that supports them to establish this guild, and they also know that they are serving this "big force", but the details are not very clear, and they don't need to be clear.
"The personnel of the "Secret Shadow" guild naturally need you to appoint them, but because of the relationship between the "Bloodkill" guild, Brother Lion's identity is a little embarrassing now, how do you think about it?"
Half of the cigarette because he first knew the identity of the player of Wutong, so among the four "elders", faintly became the dominant, and the pastoral brothers became the main force because of the many brothers under them, only the blood-killing lion, he and the players of the "Blood-killing" guild, although the strength and level are the strongest in this small team, and they are also from a regular old guild, whether it is discipline or synergy, they are much stronger than those scattered players who are accustomed to freedom and unfettered under the pastoral brothers.
However, because of the origin of the Blood-Killing Lion and their "Blood-Killing" guild, their current embarrassing identity has been caused, and the players of the Pastoral Family are somewhat repulsed and distrustful of them.
Wutong was silent for a while, he also realized the benefits of setting up such a guild, with the requirements of various situations in "Endless" for player collaboration, single players will suffer a lot, especially a game novice like him, when encountering some situations, many times it is often helpless, but if there is a team, it is easy to work together to solve the problem. , Glancing at the blood-killing lion, Wutong asked, "Since you already know the situation, then I want to hear your thoughts." β
The Blood Killing Lion smiled a little bitterly and said, "Mr. Mu, I and those brothers under my command plan to withdraw from the Blood Killing Guild!" β
Sycamore was a little surprised: "Why? We don't necessarily need to quit your old guild. "As far as Wutong himself thinks, the main purpose of organizing this team is to serve himself conveniently, and he doesn't need too strong loyalty from members, nor does he need to serve the guild specifically, after all, he doesn't plan to dominate the game like other player organizations, and secondly, he doesn't really plan to create a fixed large organization, as long as it can meet his own needs.
Therefore, in the concept of Wutong, the model created by this organization is mercenary, and almost all the resources of the entire guild are owned by him personally, and the participation of these players cannot bring him much help, why should he consume the resources he has to feed and cultivate these players who are not of great help to him?
How good is the nature of the employment, each takes what he needs, the players serve him, he pays the players a satisfactory reward, and the earnings are his own, the players are satisfied with the remuneration, you will do it, and if you are not satisfied, I will ask someone else to do it, this is just like his identity as a mysterious NPC, just for convenience.
"It's a bit complicated," the Blood Lion sighed, talking about what had happened after Sycamore left.
After he went offline, he contacted the guild management in reality and reported on the development of the team he led, but what he didn't expect was that one of the executives of the "Bloodkill" guild in Ogalus Island attacked him with all kinds of cheats and all kinds of painful reasons, saying that he wanted to set up his own door or something, and also said that he colluded with non-guild forces to steal guild resources.
The main person in charge and leader of the "Bloodkill" guild in Ogalus Island, the blood-killing demon dragon of the guild's elite group, maintained him to a certain extent, but he was bitten and sprayed like a mad dog, and together with several "bosses" in charge of the "nanny" of their team, complained to the guild management about the blood-killing demon dragon, removed the responsibility of the leader of the blood-killing demon dragon, and turned to the responsibility of the blood-killing sword.
Because he couldn't contact the leader of the "Bloodkill" guild for the time being, he countersued the blood-killing demon dragon who had no way, and angrily left the team with the guild members who supported him, claiming to develop on his own, and he would talk about it after contacting the leader of the blood-killing mad song.
The blood-killing demon dragon lost power, and the blood-killing sword, which had a great opinion on the blood-killing lion, was even more powerful and directly announced that the blood-killing lion was expelled from the guild and kicked him out.
In this way, the blood-killing lion was not a person inside and out, and he completely lost confidence in the guild, and decided to leave "Bloodkill" with the two dozen guild members who were willing to follow him, and at this time, it happened that half a cigarette contacted him in reality and told him about the "organization", which led to the current scene.
"Now the person in charge of the "Bloodkill" guild on Ogalus Island is the person in charge of the Blood-Killing Sword, and the Demon Dragon Boss is now setting up their own door, regardless of the guild's affairs, saying that they are waiting to contact the Crazy Song Boss who doesn't know why he has not been able to contact him, and then come to judge the question."
The Blood Lion smiled bitterly: "The personnel structure of the guild from top to bottom is the Wild Song Boss as the president, then the elder group composed of the sponsors who sponsor the guild's operation, and then the senior management composed of core members, the middle management layer composed of elite members, and the low management layer composed of our internal members, and below us, there are peripheral members and temporary members.
The Bloodkiller Sword is the younger brother of a core member of the senior management, and the Bloodkiller Demon Dragon Boss can't have an irresolvable conflict with the Bloodkiller Sword for me, speaking of which, I still involved him in a conflict with the Bloodkiller Sword, and even if he contacts the President of the Bloodkiller Song, he can't have a conflict with the core members because of me as an insignificant internal member, and in the end, he must also abandon the pawn and protect the car to take me to the knife, rather than waiting to be humiliated, I might as well take my brothers and leave by myself. β
Wutong was amazed when he heard it, he never knew that this game was just a game, and there were so many grievances and hatreds among them, it was too complicated.
After thinking about it, Wutong said: "Since you have decided to join our organization, then you should also listen to Cigarette Butt tell you about the situation of our organization, which is not the same as the nature of your players' games", the blood-killing lion nodded: "Well, I know, although I don't know it, but I think for us, the more unclear it should be, the better, I just need to know that I serve a certain organization." β
"Yes, you have decided to set up an external entity team in the game as a player, this idea is quite good, it is easy to manage and explain our identity, the things of the organization, you just need to know, externally, we are a player force."
Wutong also knew how to follow the half-cigarette and the blood-killing lion to make it up: "The organization does not recognize your existence, and your identity is limited to my personal management, but I will not interfere in the daily management of the "Secret Shadow" guild, it is best to let the guild members not know about my existence." As soon as there is any exposure, you know! Half a cigarette and a blood-killing lion nodded desperately, indicating that they understood, humane destruction! On the contrary, it confused the sycamore, you understand? I haven't figured out how to make it up yet?
Well, anyway, the mysterious "Secret Shadow" guild was established in such a vague way.
"As for the appointment of the guild"
Wutong thought for a moment: "I'm going to go to Shell Village now, you can go with me for a trip, and then discuss it together after meeting with the Tianyuan brothers." In the future, the four of you should be the external managers of the guild. β
The Blood Lion No, it should be called "Secret Shadow. Lion", and half a cigarette should also be called "Secret Shadow. Half a cigarette", because after the guild is officially established, their ID should be prefixed with the guild, which is the same reason that the lion was called the blood-killing lion before, and the ID when he registered was just a "lion", and the previous "blood-killing" was just the name of the guild.
The two of them excitedly arranged personnel and continued to work in the warehouse, while the two followed Wutong back to Shell Village to hold the "First Senior Management Meeting" of the "Secret Shadow" Guild.
Wutong glanced at Wu, who had stopped peeling and played with Xiaoxiao gently, and walked over to ask, Xiaoxiao was jumping up and down and was noisily going to pick up the uncle, and Wu didn't have any opinions on Xiaoxiao's decision at all.
The group teleported to Nautilus Village to capture the idyllic scenery, and then teleported directly to Shell Village.
Let the idyllic scenery go to the warehouse area to find the idyllic flowers, Wutong also took the little Lori to find Uncle Cheng Yubin looking around in the small square of Shell Village, and the group went straight to the "Black Corner Bar" in the village, asked the boss Baggio for a secret box, ordered some drinks and ale, and a group of mysterious people in cloaks began to sneakily put their heads together to plot something big.
It's a pity that whether it's Sycamore, Half Cigarette, Lion, or Pastoral Brothers, Wu and Little Lori can be ignored directly, they have no experience in managing and running a guild, and they haven't been able to come up with a charter after discussing it for a long time, Sycamore is a little better, he can use not being familiar with the power structure of players in the game as an excuse.
But half a cigarette, the lion and the pastoral brothers, although they all know more or less about the operation mode of some guilds, but except for the lion who is also an insider who has played the guild, the other three are simply miserable casual players, and suddenly ask them to run a guild, they are really a bit numb.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to say a few words."
Just when everyone was worried, the uncle who had been quietly watching spoke up, although when Wutong came in with this uncle, they looked at half a cigarette very curiously, but Wutong didn't introduce it, and they didn't ask much, but the uncle smiled and nodded to them silently and politely.
"Uh, you are" The lion looked at Wutong and then at the uncle, since Mr. Mu would bring this uncle to such a secret meeting, it was obvious that he was someone from the "organization".
"You can call me butler, I'm for the boss."
The uncle glanced at Wutong, and there was a hint of respect and gratitude in his demeanor, after all, Wutong is now his food and clothing parents, and in this era, there are not many kind-hearted people like Wutong who are very strangely willing to take in a stranger of unknown origin.
Although Sycamore only let him live temporarily in Bauhinia Manor, and did not agree to his request to become a housekeeper or a servant or gardener, he put himself in the right position, and Sycamore provided him with food and lodging, so it was the boss who hired him.
And this kind-hearted young man, thoughtfully, did not ask him what was going on, did not go to reveal his scars, gave him enough respect and preserved his self-esteem, which made him very grateful, because when he saw Sycamore in the supermarket, he was only going to buy food by helping in exchange for a little payment.
But he didn't expect that because of Wutong's gentleness towards Xiao Lori, he had a glimmer of hope, plus he saw Wutong's "mansion", so he boldly opened his mouth hoping to get a temporary job here in Wutong to get through the difficulties in front of him, to be honest, before he spoke, he didn't think that Wutong would agree.
As a former successful person, his pride stubbornly maintains his self-esteem, under limited conditions, he tries his best to show his ability, to make this meal more worthwhile, he stubbornly believes that he is using labor in exchange for wages, just like twenty years ago he started from scratch and engaged in various low-level jobs, so twenty years later, he can do it again.
