Chapter 30 Liar

So I looked, and behold, there was a gray horse. The name of the one who rides on the horse is "Death". Hell followed him, and gave them authority to kill a quarter of the earth with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, and with wild beasts. Biblical Revelation

In the past, in the general game, people would complain that the black market broke the rules of trading and collapsed the trust between people, but in the game of the edge, fair trade also means serious losses.

In addition to the seven zones, there are still four specific zones in The Edge.

These four areas are collectively known as the Four Regions of the Apocalypse.

The word Apocalypse is taken from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, namely, the four regions of war, famine, plague, and death.

The War Zone, also known as the Gambling Zone, is simply the Arena or Colosseum, where the loser will be forced to deduct a quarter of the currency from his body at the end of the duel and reward it to the winner.

If the currency on the body is zero, the number of resurrections will be forcibly deducted to offset the debt, the fight will cost extra money but death will not consume the number of resurrections, if it is a duel of the death, it will not cost the amount, but the death will cost the number of resurrections, if the resurrection number is not enough to pay, the character will be deleted.

Every day, desperate players go to the war zone to participate in gambling battles, trying to fight with their resurrection times as their only capital, and there are winners and many more losers.

Others have made an agreement with their enemies to launch a duel function in the gambling area to resolve mutual grievances.

The most attractive area for players is the Plague Zone, which is also known as the Mist Zone by players, where all players who enter the map will not be divided into factions, everyone can attack each other, and the killed players will be able to drop any item and consume the number of respawns, the resources contained in the Mist Zone are extremely valuable, they may be rare equipment and materials, or even extremely valuable items that can increase the number of respawns.

Next, there is the "Death Zone" that players are least willing to set foot in, and the "Don't Starve Zone" that players must set foot in.

Death Zone, as the name suggests, this area is full of death, the designers did not reveal too much about the purpose of designing this area, the entire Death Zone, in fact, is a large public cemetery, buried, are those who have died in the game, that is, once a game character dies because of the number of resurrections, then there will be an additional tombstone in the Death Zone.

As for the famine area, there is another nickname, which is called the trading area.

In the trading area, the transaction has absolute fairness, and there is absolutely no forced buying and selling, however, once the player enters the trading area, he will continue to consume his own game currency, and will be forced to leave the famine area when the deduction is completed, deducting 50T per hour, and less than 1 hour will be calculated as 1 hour.

50T, Gu Bin feels pain when he thinks about it, 50T can stay in a hotel for three days, and this is only an hour's cost, if you accidentally stay in the famine area for an extra second, then it will be deducted 100T, this cost is simply sky-high.

Gu Bin, who originally planned to go to the trading area to do a business, directly dispelled the idea of going there after carefully understanding the rules of the famine area.

The town is not 100% safe, but if someone attacks another person, the punishment will come quickly, and the NPCs in charge of policing will be on the scene less than two minutes after the confrontation occurs.

However, the effectiveness of such insurance measures is limited, so the emergence of the black market is inevitable, and those who make a living by unscrupulous means in the black market also come into being.

And these people are the targets of Gu Bin's action this time.

Most of the alleys next to the black market were pitch black, and Gu Bin walked behind the middle-aged man, the two of them were less than two meters apart, but they could barely see a back.

Neither of them spoke, the person who walked in front had a ghost in his heart, and the person who walked behind was extremely calm, everything that happened now was in his expectation.

When the two walked to the middle of the alley, Gu Bin suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

The middle-aged man looked back and asked.

Gu Bin didn't bother to answer, he glanced back, there were already people blocking behind him, and in front, in the shadowy lights, there were several figures swaying and approaching.

The middle-aged man turned his head, took out a short knife, waved it twice in front of Gu Bin, and said with a smile: "Friend, you know the situation yourself is the best, for the sake of our compatriots, we won't do too much, 200T, just make a friendship, what do you think?" ”

This is a hard robbery.

The price of 200T, although it is said to be a lot, but if you want to use them to buy an "ordinary" level of equipment, it is nonsense, and this money will buy a part.

In the eyes of this middle-aged man, Gu Bin's aura seemed to weaken in an instant, and the whole person trembled.

He shook his head silently, he had done this many times, and every time the player who had been tricked into the shadows by him began to tremble, whether they were frightened or angry, the matter was actually half the battle.

They're still reluctant to kill people at will, after all, it's a game, you can't be sure if the players you kill will come back to you for revenge, and if these disgraceful actions are done too much, then they will definitely suffer a catastrophe, and public anger is not such an easy thing to solve.

Therefore, for these "prey", the way they choose is to buy at a low price, and coercion, if it is okay to cooperate, once it is found that the bones are hard, it is inevitable that there will be more and less drama, and more bad will write down the ID of the other party, so as to facilitate retaliation in the future.

Gu Bin is naturally playing a role that does not intend to do anything to resist.

Looking at the people who came up from the front and back, Gu Bin swallowed his saliva, "took out" the folding crossbow from his backpack, and said in his mouth: "Brother, don't go too far...... 200T can't even afford a hair. ”

The middle-aged man took out a flashlight, turned on the switch, his face looked extremely gloomy under the illumination of the light, he looked at the folding crossbow with a smile, suppressed the greedy light in his eyes, and said: "Indeed, 200T is really nothing compared to this weapon, but brother, I have this little money." ”

As if thinking of something, he said: "It's better like this, this time, I'll give you a discount, I'll add 50T, and at the same time give you a better weapon, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Gu Bin stumbling there, the middle-aged man's face rose suddenly, and he said coldly: "These people of mine are not as easy to talk as I am, and when they come, this may not be the result." ”

"Deal!"

Hearing the person in front of him shout these two words in a voice that almost collapsed, the middle-aged player was also relieved, it is really impossible to make a feud with a player for a piece of equipment, they have been hated by many players recently, and they must measure me.

250T and a dilapidated machete, in fact, is 300T, although it is a lot more than what was paid before, but the profit is still quite large.

Gu Bin took a money bag, stuffed it into his backpack, took a long machete with rough workmanship, took it directly in his hand, threw the folding crossbow to the other party casually, turned his head and ran.

The business was done, and naturally no one stopped him, and as soon as the player in charge of interception stepped aside, Gu Bin easily passed through and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The middle-aged man looked at the killing weapon in his hand with satisfaction, with an attack power of 20150 and an effective range of 85 meters.

"Come and see, this thing ......", he was excited, because just now, he had already contacted a buyer, and the bid of 700T was enough to make him ecstatic.

The people next to him came over one after another, staring at the crossbow body of the folding crossbow is a burst of admiration, one of the players' long-range weapon mastery has reached the second level, took over the equipment, and found that his strength score instantly rose to 55, and the equipment score rose to 40, so excited that he didn't want to put it down.

However, just when he wanted to have another good time, for a moment, he felt that his hands were empty.

Keep in mind that in "The Edge", it is not possible to capture an item that a player has already equipped, unless it is a special skill.

The player stupidly looked at his hand and realized that the folding crossbow was indeed missing, and then looked to the side with a puzzled look and asked what was the matter.

"Hurry up and take it out, this thing already has a buyer, and you can't afford it, what do you mean by putting it in your backpack?"

A player next to him urged twice.

"It's gone, I don't have ...... in my backpack"

The player's whole brain was confused, and he said with a sad face, and after saying that, he took a screenshot of his inventory and showed it to everyone.

The middle-aged man jumped to his feet in a hurry, grabbed a man by the collar and yelled twice, telling them to find something, and then put the short knife against the unlucky player's neck, his eyes already faintly red.

Pinching the time, Gu Bin quickly ran out of the alley, circled around the crowd for a long time, and came to a stall.

He urgently needed to change his clothes now, and those people, no matter how stupid they were, would sooner or later suspect him, and the mask had already been put away for him.

The bargaining process was completed as quickly as possible, and a simple black priest's robe was in Gu Bin's hands, and he walked to the place where there were few people, and chose the equipment casually.

Several people rushed through the streets of the black market in a hurry, and a pastor wearing a black priest's robe, wearing a cross, and holding a Bible, was accidentally knocked over, he seemed to be angry, turned his head, lowered his head and laughed twice. Please remember our website:,,
