"Cooperation......"

Mu You raised his eyebrows, he didn't resist this, at least he could go and see, even if the cooperation failed, it would be good to be able to get some information.

The other party specifically mentioned not to bring fragments, which can be regarded as a means to show that he has no malicious intent, of course, it is also a kind of self-preservation, after all, the other party is not sure what kind of character he is, and both sides have scruples about each other, so simply don't bring fragments, contact them first.

As for where are the fragments stored at the time of the meeting? There are two methods, one is to extract it directly into reality. Two can also be handed over to another person, and then let the other person go offline.

When the debris is offline, it is in a state of collapse, and it will not be displayed in both worlds, so it can naturally ensure absolute safety.

Mu You didn't need to be so troublesome, he directly stored another fragment to the vampire tomb.

Then he returned to the imperial capital for a while, and after the time was about the same, Mu You left the academy, put on the skin of a watchman, and went to the south of the city to find the other party to make an appointment.

[The night is quiet, and you have come to the ruins in the south of the city. 】

[After many days of repairs, all the valuable things in this ruin have been transferred, and all that remains is the ruins of the broken wall after the fire. It is said that the imperial royal family is throwing the land auction of this ruin in progress, but with the threat of the Wizarding Guild in front of it, no one has dared to take it over so far. 】

[Zero o'clock has passed, and you have rushed to the vicinity of the former site of the Wizard Tower as agreed. 】

[The war eagle hovers above you, and soon in the dark night, you see a figure under a broken wall in front of you......] Remember the URL

Mu You didn't rush over, and let the war eagle circle first.

After confirming that there was no one else in the ambush nearby, he controlled the character to appear and walk.

[You walk out of the darkness and move closer to each other until you stop ten meters in front of them.] 】

[At this point, you have already seen the ID on the top of the other person's head: Edward Jack (level 15)]

Level 15, and it's level 15 that has evolved, which means that this is a player who has just advanced to the upper level.

However, what made Mu You care was the ID of the other party, and the text prompted a Chinese name that was automatically translated, but in the omniscient crystal, he could see the original ID of the other party, which was a string of partial characters that he was not familiar with.

Mu You found a note, quickly wrote down this string of characters, took a photo and sent it to Lin Xue, and asked about the source.

Fortunately, Lin Xue hadn't slept yet, and quickly replied to the message.

"It's supposed to be a mix of Arabic and Somali, which is commonly used in some countries in East Africa, such as Ethiopia and Somalia......"

"Somalia?"

Mu You looked at Lin Xue's reply to the message, and the stereotype that subconsciously popped up in his mind was 'pirate'.

But looking at the ID taken by the other party, it seems that there is really a possibility of piracy.

Edward Jack ...... Is this a combination of 'Edward Titch' and 'Jack Sparrow'?

At this point, the other party has already sent an invitation to the temporary session.

Mu You clicks to agree.

[Edward Jack: Brother, to confirm, you were the one who took the shard?] 】

[Lamplighter: Yes.] 】

[Edward Jack: Okay, then the troublesome brothers will verify their identities first, after all, it's not a trivial matter. 】

[Lamplighter: How to verify?] 】

[Edward Jack takes out a polygraph crystal ball.] 】

[Edward Jack: This is a lie detector ball that will automatically detect lies around it...... I'll do it first. 】

[The other party said to you, 'I am the owner of the Fragment of Auroville, and I am not currently united with the two forces of the Son of Heaven or Captain Ghost', the crystal ball does not react, and the other party is telling the truth. 】

[The other party handed you the crystal ball, and you chose to reply ......]

The typing box pops up.

After a moment's hesitation, Mu You entered: I am the owner of the Fragment of Auroville, and I am not currently united with any forces.

[After you finished speaking, the crystal ball was still as quiet as ever, confirming that your words were true.] 】

[Edward Jack: That's fine!] Brother, let's talk about cooperation, I won't tell you, I have found a collaborator before, and the other party is negotiating, and you are the second. 】

[Lamplighter: How do you want to cooperate?] 】

Regardless of whether the other party is really a pirate or not, at least there is no reckless feeling in the communication, and he is indeed seriously talking about cooperation with him, and Mu You doesn't mind talking to him.

[Edward Jack: Of course, sign a blood contract, put together the map, and join forces to capture Auroville without betraying each other!] 】

[Lamplighter: Actually, I'm curious, if you want to cooperate, why don't you go to Captain Ghost or the Son of Heaven?] They should be a better option to work with, right? 】

[Edward Jack: Indeed, if I go to these two gods with the fragments, there is more than half a chance that I can help the other party take the city, but at the same time, it also means that I will give up the position of city lord, and I will be a deputy city lord at most. 】

[Edward Jack: We are all shard owners, and theoretically we all have a one-in-nine chance of winning the city lord, in this case, let you completely give up the qualifications of the city lord and compete for the deputy city lord, are you willing?] On the contrary, if we little people are united, at least everyone still has the opportunity to be the lord of the city. 】

[Edward Jack: Besides, these two forces are extremely powerful on the surface, and they already regard Auroville as their own bag, and they also regard each other as their number one enemy, which is why the two of them will fight in the dark at that time!] And this is the best chance for us little people: when the two great gods are defeated by each other, let's make another move and win in chaos! 】

The other party's impassioned mouth cannon is quite reasonable.

[Lamplighter: Ah, yes, yes! 】

[Edward Jack: So, if you have no opinion, brother, let's talk about cooperation!] 】

[Lamplighter: Sign the contract directly? 】

[Edward Jack: Of course, it's not that simple, before cooperating, you need to further confirm each other's identity, strength, and some details to judge the final distribution of benefits...... By the way, brother, what is your fragment? 】

The other party was halfway through speaking, and suddenly asked casually.

Mu You didn't answer, and the other party suddenly asked about the fragment number, most likely because he already knew the difference between valid fragments and invalid fragments, which was to distinguish whether he was valuable or not......

[Lamplighter: What is your number?] Mu You asked rhetorically.

[Edward Jack:...... Okay, so how about we take turns using the lie detector ball and telling the number and source of the respective fragments? 】

[Lamplighter: Yes.] 】

[Edward Jack: I'll come first...... My number is number eight, which I got by chance from the belly of a fish during a certain fishing trip. The other collaborator's number is number seven, which was obtained by pushing the tower to grab the final blow. 】

[After Jack finished speaking, the crystal ball did not react, and the other party was telling the truth. 】

[You took the crystal ball, you are ready to say ......]

The text box popped up, and Mu You typed quickly: [I have the second fragment of the map of Dawn City, which I bought from a beaver. 】

[Edward Jack: ......]

Of course his words are no problem, the crystal ball is not lit, the other party sent a string of ellipses at this time, and Mu You also understands what it means: The three of them are invalid fragments, and this joint has a Jill?

[Lamplighter: How's it going, united?] 】

[Edward Jack: Don't worry, brother, I haven't negotiated with that brother, who is now in Africa and can't get over for a while...... Why don't we go to the other owners of the shards first, and when we find a fourth person, we can discuss the details of the alliance together, how about it? 】

As expected, this time, the other party didn't want to cooperate, because on the premise that the fragments reported by Mu You were invalid fragments, it was obviously a loss for the other party to exchange two maps for one map.

[Edward Jack: Brother, add a friend, feel free to contact if you have something!] 】

The other party sent a friend application, which means that Mu You certainly understands: this is treating him as a 'spare tire', the cooperation is suspended, they have to find the next target first, if the next person found by the other party has effective fragments, then they will definitely not take him to play directly.

Shaking his head, Mu You clicked in agreement.

[Edward Jack has become your friend.] 】

It doesn't matter if this person treats him as a spare tire, because for Mu You, this person is also his spare tire.

In case you can't grab the pieces in the end, you can only reluctantly find the other party to cooperate.

After adding friends, the other party said hello and couldn't wait to leave, for fear that Mu You would stick to him.

Mu You didn't stop him, and after the other party left, he turned around and thought about the current information.

He has 'five' and 'two' in his hand, and this pirate has 'seven' and 'eight' in his hand, plus three fragments on the Son of Heaven's side, that is, there are now seven fragments that have been clearly attributed, and only two are unknown.

However, in this case, the probability that 'One' and 'Nine' exist in the remaining two unknown fragments does not seem to be high......

"No, one and nine are in the hands of the Son of Heaven......"

Mu You couldn't help but think of this possibility.

If this is the case, then the situation is even more troublesome, because it means that he will have to engage in at least one head-on confrontation with the forces of the Son of Heaven in the future in order to be able to grab a valid fragment.

"Let's take one step at a time......" Mu You sighed secretly, and could only let go of this matter first.

……

Early the next morning, Mu You got up early, and today is the official opening day of the pet store.

Tidy up, Mu You went to the zoo backpack to check it, and after confirming that all the animals were in good condition, he went to open the roller shutter door.

At this time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet time to open the door, but there were already some tourists waiting at the door, and Xiaoya and Lin Xue had also arrived and were accepting inquiries from some tourists at the door.

"Brother Mu!"

Mu You was just about to go over to help them, when a familiar cry came from behind him.

turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yang, Liu Chen, and those colleagues who were familiar with each other.

"Team Zhang, why are you here?" Mu You was surprised that several of them were still wearing the uniforms of the members of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

"Haha, you opened today, with the popularity of your videos, I estimate that there will be no fewer people on the first day, can you ask someone to help you come to the town!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"By the way, I also took advantage of my position to rub Brother Mu's shop!" The girl in the team covered her mouth and whispered: "Who made your ticket too difficult to buy, I didn't get one for two hours yesterday!" ”

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, we're here on official business."

Zhang Yang coughed, lifted the hem of his clothes, and quietly showed Mu You something in his clothes: "This is borrowed from the Linshi Branch last night to help you maintain order." ”

Mu You glanced at it, and the description of that thing had already appeared in the omniscient crystal for the first time.

[Spell Shielder: When activated, it blocks all spell casts within a certain range, and only takes effect on creatures below level 10.] 】

This thing only works on creatures below level 10, and is useless against masters, but it works quite well when placed in a business premises to avoid some skirmishes.

After all, for the masses, the threshold of level 10 is enough to kill 99.9% of the people, and the remaining few masters above level 10, and then they are personally taken care of, and the workload is much easier.

"It's hard work, come in!"

Mu You hurriedly beckoned a few people to enter the door and directly led them into the zoo backpack.

"Wow, such a big backpack?"

As soon as several people entered the door, they all instinctively began to be surprised by the size of this space.

Then came the animals in the space.

"There are so many magical beasts ......"

"It's exactly the same as in the video! Yummy! ”

For a while, several people were dazzled by all kinds of fantasy creatures, and they were stunned at the door, forgetting to move around for a while.

"No wonder you insist on opening a pet shop, as soon as your kind of shop opens, everyone who has the ability must want to visit once, you are destined to explode!" Zhang Yang sighed and looked at Mu You thoughtfully.

"Haha, you guys go shopping casually first, I'll go outside to greet the tourists." Mu You smiled and turned his head to leave the backpack.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Zhang Yang didn't forget that they were here to help, not to play, and handed over the instrument to his subordinates: "Lao Liu and Xiao Zhou will go and install the instrument, and everyone else will work with me." ”

The group immediately entered the working state.

With their helpers, it is much easier to maintain order on the spot.

Until eight o'clock in the morning, Mu You walked to the door on time and opened the door.

At this time, a large number of tourists had gathered on the street outside the door, and they gathered in twos and twos to settle breakfast at the nearby food stalls. As soon as Mu You opened the door, everyone rushed over.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, and welcome to the Fun Pet Shop! I won't say more, here are some precautions after entering the store: the first and most important, interaction can be, but please do not hurt the animals, the animals currently on display in the store are registered protected animals, people who intentionally harm them will bear legal responsibility, in addition, if you encounter problems during the tour, you can always find me or any of the police officers of the Investigation Bureau to deal with ......"

Mu You didn't do any ceremonies such as ribbon cutting, and it wasn't the first day of opening, so after briefly saying some rules, he let the tourists in directly.

The tourists couldn't wait for a long time, and at this time, under the guidance of Mu You and a few people, they lined up to enter the pet store in turn, and came all the way to the wall in the depths of the store, where the door of the space backpack was placed.

Lin Xue sat behind the computer next to the door and was responsible for checking the tickets, and the tourists who entered the door needed to scan the electronic tickets on the APP to confirm that they were the guests of the corresponding session, and they could enter the door directly.

"Brothers, you're going to enter the venue, everyone who just came pay attention!"

"What? Do you want me to change to women's live clothing? It's not appropriate, so many people are watching, and there are children, the impact is not good......"

A familiar voice came, Mu You looked back, and sure enough, it was Lin Hai, holding a selfie stick and approaching with the flow of people, followed by more than a dozen somewhat familiar figures.

"Master, these are all friends of the Business Alliance, come with me to cheer!"

Behind Lin Hai were Huang Zhichao, Xia Worm Yubing and others, as well as some members of the Business Alliance who met in the Business Alliance that day.

Several people were very interested in the pet shop described by Mu You before, and after the video he posted became popular recently, they couldn't wait to visit, but unfortunately most people didn't grab tickets yesterday.

Fortunately, Mu You had already left a lot of 'internal tickets' for Lin Hai, and today Lin Hai brought them all over through his relationship.

Mu You naturally welcomed this, these are all network resources, and after greeting them, he personally took them into the space.

At this time, in the zoo, as a large number of tourists began to pour in, the first thing to be greeted was a burst of exclamations, marveling at the venue, marveling at the fantastical animals.

Crowds quickly began to diverge, with visitors flocking to the prominent locations in the space, or the magical animals they were most interested in.

Of course, there are still a large number of people who do not have a specific goal and choose to follow the mainstream team and visit in order.

The closest attraction to the entrance is the Bird House.

Everyone flocked to the glass aviary, and immediately noticed the owl with purple feathers in the tree nest in the center of the aviary.

"I know this, purple feathers, this is the evil woman's bird! I've seen it once in the game text, but it's the first time I've seen it in reality! Lin Hai said to the camera.

"What is the Wicked Woman?" Someone in the team expressed confusion.

There were also people who immediately understood a little bit next to him, scrambling to show off a wave of knowledge.

However, Mu You knew after listening to a few words that most people only knew a little bit about it, and what they said was full of misleading.

"If you don't know about a certain magical animal, you can look at the animal page in the APP, and after each animal clicks on the opening picture, there will be a detailed introduction." Mu lobbied.

Hearing this, everyone unanimously raised their mobile phones and began to look for information, and they were surprised after a while.

"Wow, these fledglings that haven't grown all their hair are silver owls! I thought it was the child of the Evil Lady Bird......"

"The eyes of the evil woman bird can actually control the creature? How come we are not controlled? ”

"Isn't it very clear in the information? The Evil Po Bird only controls creatures to protect itself when it feels threatened, and now the aviary is safe enough to certainly not use its abilities indiscriminately......"

"Touching, the evil woman bird will really help other birds take care of their children, maternal love is too great......"

While everyone was discussing, the evil woman bird in the glass room was tirelessly picking up the bread worms and flying back to the nest to feed the three little silver owls who were waiting to be fed.

This touching picture made many people raise their mobile phones to take pictures.

However, before the tourists could be moved, they suddenly saw the evil bird turn its flight direction and land on a nearby tree trunk, and sneakily glanced around a few times, and after making sure that no other birds were paying attention, they jumped to the nest of the tree trunk in a few steps, and stretched out their claws to steal the eggs.

"Chirp!"

At this moment, a small bird with a colorful body suddenly appeared from the trunk of a nearby tree, screaming wildly, flapping its wings desperately, and launched an attack on the evil woman bird that was several circles larger.

And the evil woman bird may be a thief, and after being discovered, he did not fight back, hurriedly put down the eggs and fled, flew back to his nest, and took care of his feathers, as if he was a bird that had nothing to do.

This scene stunned everyone outside the birdhouse.

The bird that appeared suddenly, everyone quickly got the information from the APP: the chameleon bird, with the ability to resemble a chameleon, can quickly merge with the scene in place after stopping in a certain place, and its existence cannot be discovered without looking carefully.

For example, just now, this chameleon bird deceived all the tourists, and also deceived the evil woman's bird, causing the evil woman's deeds of stealing eggs to be caught in person.

The emotion that everyone had just accumulated suddenly dissipated.

The mother bird is still alive, Ning blatantly ran to steal the eggs, Ning's mother's love is slightly distorted......

And looking at the skillful posture of the chameleon bird, it is obviously not the first time it has been stolen. Everyone could already imagine that in the time they could not see, the two birds did not know how many times they had fought for this nest of eggs.
