"Looks like that's the only place?" While wiping his hair, Su Chen watched the rolling laser projection in front of him. After leaving the game, he took a comfortable shower as usual. However, unlike usual, Su Chen took advantage of the time he was cleaning up the water droplets and began to search for the information he needed through the information terminal in the room. It's really not going to waste any time!

It has to be said that after the opening of the so-called game "Diarra Continent", the number of posts on related forums has increased day by day. It's a staggering amount of people these days, and it's a desperate thing to look at one headline at a time, let alone confirm what's in it.

Fortunately, the sections on the forum are well categorized, and today's intelligent search system is also free from the shackles of separate text searches. This eliminates the need for forum users to use the inefficient search methods of the past. Even so, it took Su Chen a lot of time to find the information he wanted. Because there are too many deliberately troublesome water posts and fake messages in the forum, those idle guys seem to like to make trouble for other people in need.

However, after comparing the posts of many chapters, Su Chen finally got an idea of the player composition of 'Ulrike'. Whether they are first-time survivors or second-generation newcomers, those living in the city can be broadly divided into three categories.

The first and most stable group is the gamer who gives up the adventure and turns to the life of a craftsman after entering the game. The number of these people was small at first, but many of them escaped the first purge like the uncle next door to Su Chen. On the contrary, their social status and connections in 'Ulrik' far exceed those of second-generation players.

The second group is the average adventurer, the vast majority of whom are members of the second generation. Even if there are a few leftovers of the first generation. In fact, most of them don't mix very well. And this group is also full of mountains inside. The friction between each other has never stopped.

The third category is the players who take the dark route. This group is the smallest but also the most united. Most of them are first-generation survivors, and new players are introduced by those who have come to the game to connect with those organizations that have not seen the light. And the reason why they can be introduced is often because the two parties already know each other in reality. With such a relationship, it is natural that the bonds within that group will be stronger than those of other player groups.

And these three gathering areas for ordinary activities are also different depending on the work. For example, the first group of players is mostly making money to support their families, and they are scattered among the various workshops in and around Ulrique, and there is often no regular connection with each other. The ones inside the city can occasionally be found in the taverns of the slums, and the ones outside the city can be considered semi-isolated.

The same players who take the dark route are not easy to find. Not only are they relatively sparsely populated. And the work they do makes the locations of their joints often scattered and secretive. Some even live a diurnal and nocturnal life for a long time. Of course, for Su Chen, as long as it takes a little time, these people can also afford to establish contact. However, in his opinion, what he wants to do next is not worth investing so much energy.

After that, the largest group of adventurer players remained. Although these players are completely a rabble in the eyes of many aborigines, who knows if they will grow into qualified warriors after the transformation of time! Now is the time to bury a line first, and it may not be useless in the future. What's more, most of these people stay in the mercenary guild and the surrounding taverns waiting for the mission. So it doesn't take much effort to meet, and at the same time, it doesn't make people wonder if it has ulterior motives.

Su Chen, who re-entered the game the next day, took control of his character and left the merchant hall early in the morning and walked towards the mercenary union of 'Ulrik'. Fortunately, after a few previous experiences, Barrett is already familiar with that path. That's why I didn't get lost by the flow of people who work early in the morning.

After seeing the painted bronze plaque from a distance, Barrett quickened his pace and stepped into the slightly historic door. As soon as he walked in, Barrett noticed a noticeable change in the hall from the last time he came. The number of adventurers hired here is twice as high as before.

After hearing Barrett's footsteps, everyone in the hall immediately turned their eyes to the door. After seeing Barrett in civilian clothes. Many of them's eyes twinkled—as if they were looking for Barrett as the owner of the mission.

But several of the adventurers who still remembered Barrett's face immediately lost interest. They waved happily to their peers who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. Soon everyone was like a deflated ball, and soon they became weak again.

Barrett, who walked into the hall, was again observed by everyone. He also wiped them with his own eyes. The characteristics of the first-generation players have been confirmed before, so they are relatively quick to distinguish. Although the new second generation does not have a unified style, the contrast with the surrounding aborigines is also a lot of effort for Barrett.

'What now?' Wouldn't it be too deliberate to go up and greet those players directly? I think it's better to go to the counter and sit down first! With a plan in mind, Barrett walked to the task release point in the hall.

But at this time, the old man Doug at the front desk today was the first to greet Barrett: "Mr. Boream! What is the wind that is blowing you today? ”

"I didn't expect you to recognize me, Mr. Doug!" Barrett, who was sitting in a high chair at the counter, snapped his fingers, "A lime wine!" ”

"Old man, I forgot, no one will forget a master like you! Among the people that our 'Ulrik' mercenary guild can contact, you are already among the best. As he spoke, Old Man Doug began to remove the drinking utensils from the nearby shelves and began to mix a cocktail called 'Lime'.

Barrett pointed to the counter with his hand and said, "I'm not a master at 'Ulrike'!" This is not a rural place. There are not a few people who can crush me to death with one finger. ”

"Indeed, there is a big man with that man! But they don't look down on us as a mercenary guild at all. It won't have that kind of business intersection with us. Old Doug said as he mixed the drink. So a master like you has become a figure that our union can use to control the field. ”

"Is this the rhythm of the monkey in the mountains without tigers being kings?" Barrett shook his head with a wry smile, "I didn't expect me to have such a day!" ”

After bringing the concocted drink to Barrett, old Doug smiled, "We don't mean to make fun of you. In fact, the channels of contact for people like you are our most valuable resource here. How about you come here today to take on any tasks? ”

"Forget the mission! I'm afraid my companions and I won't have much time to take on your assignment during this time. Barrett deliberately showed a helpless expression when he said this.

Hearing this, old Doug showed a look of understanding on his face: "We have actually heard a lot about you during this time!" It's normal not to have time to come to us. Of course, this is not a deliberate attempt to inquire about you, but it is just an occasional rumor heard from related users. ”

The devil believes that you are not pretending to investigate. But if you do that, I won't dare come here again......' Barrett picked up the glass on the counter. Then he took a sip gently: "Hey! Little people like us are always involuntarily, and if the people above move their mouths, we have to break our legs. Sometimes I offend people because of one thing or another......"

"You mean something a while ago! But it's also your ability to get into the eyes of big people, and you can't ask for what happened to you! He wiped the tablecloth with a tablecloth and slapped the old Doug on the back.

Barrett smiled, "In some ways, old Doug, your words seem to be right. However, people are always eager to progress, and since we have reached our current status, we naturally want to work hard to see if we can climb up! ”

"Mr. Boreham, you are still so young now, and there will be opportunities in your daily life in the future! There is no need to rush at all. Old Doug finally put on the appearance of a man who had come from before. Then he lowered his voice: "Alright! Mr. Boram doesn't speak secretly, because by your nature, you have never been able to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Go ahead! If there is anything we need help with this time, as long as the remuneration is sufficient, everything can be said. ”

"It's not a big deal! It's just that in the next 20 days or so, can you keep an eye on the escort mission from Ulrike for me? Barrett paused, "There's no rush on this matter. What do we still have time? ”

"Mr. Boram, are you not mistaken? Coming to us for an escort mission? Old Doug looked Barrett up and down several times, "Something like this." Aren't you able to solve it directly at the Chamber of Commerce? ”

Barrett put down the cup in his hand: "I naturally have my own reasons for doing this, so to be honest, you guys should help or not!" ”

"Help! Help! Help! So don't help! With your joining, this time our union will also be able to receive a large order. Old Doug rubbed his hands together, "You can leave the rest to us!" We will strive for the best for you in all conditions. ”

For scarce resources such as Barrett and the blood-stained gray flower mercenary group, the half-dead mercenary union in front of him will naturally try his best to win over him many times. After all, if you have a strong character who can complete difficult tasks, someone will come to the mercenary union to issue a big commission!

"That's it! With business over, it's time for fun. I'm taking a vacation today to take care of your business here. At this point, Barrett drank the wine in front of him, "Give no one here a glass of ale per ale!" Celebrate the ass I kicked those Lucia guys some time ago! ”

Hearing that someone was treated, the Aboriginal adventurers immediately greeted them: "Kick those damn Lucians in the ass......"

Although the rest of the players were half a beat slower, in order not to be too maverick, they quickly joined the team of the aborigines. Old Doug behind the counter, after hearing Barrett's words, immediately beckoned the hosts in the hall to prepare the drinks—although he did not collect the money in advance, he was not at all worried that Barrett would do something that he would not repay. After all, it is not cost-effective for Barrett's ability to affect his reputation because of this small amount of money.

Now that there is Barrett's beginning, these adventurers, who have not worked for the time being, immediately began to wave the extra drinks in their hands. The whole hall is like a tavern after dark, and these undetermined adventurers numb themselves with cheap drinks as a way to escape reality.

As the atmosphere was stirred up, Barrett, who had re-ordered a glass of wine from Old Doug, left the counter and joined the drunken crowd. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip today. He walked around the chaotic crowd before coming to a squad of players and asking, "Fellow citizens! How have you been in the game during this time? ”

The players who heard this shook their heads, and then their eyes focused on Barrett. The faces of several of them also turned extremely pale.

Seeing the other party's ghostly look, Barrett shook the cup in his hand: "What are you doing here?" I just saw that everyone was a player, so I just came over to say hello. Maybe we can take care of each other if we have the opportunity in the future. ”

After a brief silence, one of the bearded men spoke: "Wait! You say you're a gamer? ”

"Of course it's the players! What a fake player! Barrett spun around at this point, "Are you sure the Aboriginal people can say that word?" Do you have to open up the hidden sign for you to believe? ”

"Nope! That's not true. It's unbelievable that you're one of us. The man who said this lowered his voice, "After all, after all, Daddy Doug's attitude towards you is too ......" (to be continued......
