Five hours have passed since the mysterious player took over the mission in the Mercenary Guild, and players from all over the game continent are gathering towards the City of Heroes, the largest of the main cities, where the streets have been filled with people, a sight that can only be seen during the holiday season.

Players were undoubtedly attracted by the task of killing Aotian, and wanted to see who had the courage to compete with the leader of the First Guild. Because the guild base of the Heroes Guild is near the City of Heroes, if someone really wants to break into the iron wall of LV4 to take the Proud Heaven's head, they will definitely gather troops in the city first, form a legion, and then attack.

The good guys are waiting to see the excitement, so they all stay in the city, wanting to get some updates or something. But soon, the players discovered a problem, there were too many people in the city, and there was a bustling crowd everywhere, and even if there was a legion gathering, it was like pouring a glass of water into a swimming pool, and it was impossible to see it at all. Unless all of those guys have their clan status displayed above their heads, only they know who the team members are.

Of course, it's not completely impossible, if you perform a PK action on a member of a legion, it only takes a second, and you can see the blood bars of all members of that legion in your sight, and it is also crimson. But it is impossible for anyone to do this, because the consequences of beating people in the city are ...... One of the nearest NPC guards will use a skill called teleportation to rush in front of you within 0.5 seconds, unleashing a brutal series of attacks on you, never stopping.

Regarding the combat ability of these guards, it is roughly like this: these guys sometimes go out of the city to fight with some monsters due to the arrangement of story missions, they are very useless at that time, and after leaving the city, they will immediately become a state similar to the level of the mission monster, or even less powerful than the level of monsters. But inside the city, the level of these guards will become unknown, and they will be blessed with a blessing called "Hero's Protection", which is officially explained in one line: The heroic spirits of the ancient heroes are watching you, and you feel that your whole body is full of power.

As far as some players who are determined to die have tested it, this so-called "power" is not the degree of taking two strong pills, let alone some numerical data can explain it, and the blessing of "Hero's Protection" is definitely a highlight created by the game designers when writing the program, because its effect is essentially completely random. Just like the mutant genes in the X-Men, each guard will have different abilities and effects reflected under this blessing, and all of them are very terrifying.

For example, let's say increase the attack speed by a hundredfold. Yes, this is one of the effects tested by egg pain players at this stage, saying that it is a hundred times, but in fact, it is just an estimate, how many times is it...... I really can't tell, the speed at which the guard slashed people was like he had eight hands, and the guy who was cut didn't lose blood piece by piece at all, his blood bar flowed at a uniform rate...... He saw the phantom of the NPC guard's arm and sword all over his eyes, and then he hung up inexplicably. This blessing seems to have a weakness.,The guard's attack power has become abnormally low.,It seems that he maliciously wants to reflect the amazing value of attack speed.,So reduce the attack power and slash you a few more times......

Another effect, affectionately known as "Infinite Crash", is that instead of slashing you with a sword, the guard will swoop at you with a long-range dash that appears to be infinite, and then use his shoulder to propel you into the sky, much like the usual skill of a guy in a red hat in a fighting game. Then, the moment before you hit the ground, the guard will rush over and fly you again, once...... Once...... Again...... Until the top dies.

There are many examples, we can see in the guards the invincible dragon Sakazaki Ryosaki's karate mastery: one hit kills; Diamond Stardust Punch, which reduces the player's movement and attack speed to zero; Even Sakuragi Hanamichi-san's iron head hits his forehead, causing great damage and a minute-long vertigo stiffness. "Hero's Protection" is simply a spoof, so that those who dare to do their own hands in the city are tortured and devastated before they are killed, but they have no power to fight back.

This is not over, after being killed in the city, 100% of a piece of equipment will be exploded, and no matter what the original color of the name was, it will immediately turn crimson, and the moment after resurrection, the fatigue is drawn to zero by the system, and the next second is naturally forced to kick off the line.

Therefore, if you have the determination to delete the number, or if it is really a pain in the egg, and you are prepared to wait for the name to fade for a week or two, then you can do it, God knows what kind of blessing you will be played to death......

Some people may ask, isn't it over that Aotian just ran to the city? Who can kill him in a second? Otherwise, if you grit your teeth and stomp your feet, won't it be over when you go offline? Let's go back after the time limit has passed. Indeed, these are all good methods, but people really can't save face.

Even if the hero is really captured today and Aotian is killed, it can't be worse than retreating without a fight. This is a very simple truth, if you want to be a brother, you have to have an awareness, that is, that kind of ...... was grabbed by a group of onlookers and roasted on the fire without changing the color of the consciousness......

Could it be that Ximen Fuxue would hide in the imperial city, or hide in the market to escape the duel with Ye Gucheng? Could it be that he would wait for the city wall and say, "Brother Ye, I suddenly have a stomachache, although I really want to fight with you, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to accompany you today"? That's only when Satan meets Sharu! Does Simon blow snow dry? If he did this, it would not be Ximen blowing snow, but Wang Xu pretending.

What kind of person does Aotian belong to, this is obvious, people can die, the face can't be avoided, from another point of view, this incident is actually a good opportunity, if the hero will slaughter the enemy who comes to attack, Aotian is the biggest winner of this whole farce, the hero will be the first place in the game will be more unshakable, his own dream of a brother, maybe it can really be realized.

Therefore, at this moment, inside the guild base of the Heroes Society, they have gathered all the combat forces they can muster and are ready for battle. There are also many members who have come from all over the world one after another, and everyone's expressions are extremely nervous, this is no longer a matter of life and death for the chairman Aotian alone, but a major event related to the future status of the entire guild in the game. In any case, there is no room for failure in this battle.

…………

In the council hall, President Aotian, Vice President Ren Slash, and twenty players from the guild's decision-making level gathered together, staring at the information board provided by the LV4 guild base, and always paying attention to the latest official news. At the same time, he waited anxiously for the spies sent to the city to send some useful information.

"It seems that it is difficult to find out more conclusive information." One of them said: "The City of Heroes is now in a mess, ordinary players, business players, professional players, and some other guild forces are all going there, and anyone is suspected of taking that mission, and anyone we think is suspicious of appearing in the city." ”

Aotian frowned and looked at the big screen: "This person who gives the task can really calculate...... It's definitely part of his plan too! ”

The person slashed aside and said: "Aotian, you have been saying that there is a major conspiracy in this matter, but in my opinion, the person who gave the task is at most the guy who defrauded 3.6 million liquidated damages, as you guessed...... It's the person who takes on the task that we should be paying attention to, isn't it? ”

Aotian shook his head: "Now that I think about it, he used the mercenary guild to release this mission in a high-profile manner, and there is a lot of mystery in it." He looked away from the big screen and said, "What I had guessed before...... Ill-conceived, I shouldn't think of a player who can get 20 million as a small character who uses the Mercenary Guild to defraud liquidated damages.

In this game, players with tens of millions of financial resources can be roughly divided into three types: rich people who purely come to have fun and pure commercial players; Extremely high-end professional gamers; Then there are players like us who focus on developing guilds.

These three kinds of people, let's talk about the first type first, these people basically don't leave the main city for half a step, and I have no intersection with them at all; The second type of people are the least likely to spend money to buy my head, they help others to do more things than ask others to do things, play games to get enough food and clothing, and neutrality is the consistent style of people like them; So in the end, there is only a third type of people left......"

More than 20 people looked at Aotian very seriously, listening to his analysis, this president of the Hero Club is still very capable, and he really thinks a lot...... Far away......

"Then, like me, players who are based on developing guilds in the game are the only remaining possibility," Aotian looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and continued, "You must be very strange, according to me, the person who wants to buy my head, and the person who has the ability to take my head on the task is actually the same kind of person. He paused and said, "That's right, that's the conclusion, from beginning to end, there is only one group of people!"

Is it really that hard to kill me? When I level up in the field, how many people do I bring with me? Assemble a legion twice as many as you, and still worry about killing me? Besides, what if you kill me once? Explode a piece of equipment? Lose 10% of experience? How much damage can this cause?

People who have a grudge against me and want to vent their anger by killing me, if they are willing to take out 20 million, let alone once, in the way I just said, the cost of 20 million can kill me ten times!

It is easy to achieve the goal by keeping a low profile, but he chose a way that is bound to lose money and has a high chance of failing, and puts a mission in the mercenary guild!

This can only show one point, it doesn't matter if you kill me or not, the real intention of the delegator to release this task is to let the entire game know that the person who takes the task, or rather, the force that takes the task, has the ability to make anyone in the game die within twenty-four hours! ”

There was a chill in the meeting hall, and Aotian's reasoning was indeed reasonable and incisive.

"Of course, that's after killing me, and in order to achieve the goal, the premise must be that that force can really defeat our Heroes Association, break through this LV4 base, and take down my head." Aotian continued: "Hmph...... It's not that I'm arrogant, the guild that can do this, not at all! 'Supreme', 'Red Moon', 'Frontier', 'Divine Sword Alliance', none of them can! Having said that, his expression was not easy either, "What I'm worried about now is that there are several parties in these guilds uniting together...... This made them feel fully sure that the time was ripe...... That's why the quest was posted in the Mercenary Guild. If that is the case, I am afraid that this conspiracy has been prepared for quite some time, and it is very unfavorable for us to rush into battle......"

The atmosphere became more and more solemn, his speculation was indeed reliable, and everyone present was already convinced, in less than twenty hours, if the hero would be broken and Aotian would be killed, then ...... The opponent hidden in the shadows will be completely victorious, and the impact that the hero will suffer will not be only what is seen on the surface, and the members of the Hero Club will be poked in the back when they walk on the road in the future. What else are you talking about the First Guild? The president will let people say kill you, and anyone with money can kill you at any time. At that time, the loss of members and the decline of strength will inevitably lead to a vicious circle, and even if it is not disbanded, it will be difficult to make a comeback.

At this moment of silence, Ren Shu's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the information board, trembling and stretching out his finger and saying, "Quick...... Quick look...... This ......"

The others all showed the same expressions as people in an instant, they can no longer be described by "the eyeballs are about to pop out", they are eager to throw the eyeballs directly on the ground.

Aotian swallowed his saliva, turned around slowly, and saw a very eye-catching message slowly rising from the board - the Mercenary Guild of the City of Heroes, the existing player "Ripper" issued a mission: invite the leader of the Red Moon Guild "Qing'er" to come to the city for a talk, and the task reward: 30 million. For more information about the mission, please visit the Mercenary Guild.

…………

Not long after that news was sent, Mao Ye was already sitting in a single room on the 105th floor of the most expensive sea-view restaurant in the city, sipping the mellow aroma of red wine, overlooking the crowd below the city of heroes, and chanting in a compassionate tone: "Hey...... Crying and crying, the six armies are all vegetarian, rushing to the crown - angry for the red face......"
