It was another evening, and people who had been busy all day stepped on the afterglow of the sunset, or hurriedly or calmly walked on the bluestone road home. A few wisps of smoke curling in the distance make this remote town look even more rustic.

As one of the countless towns in the Qixing Kingdom, Shining Gold Town has its constant rhythm of life for thousands of years, even if there are many large mercenary groups stationed here in recent years, and countless mercenaries have frantically poured ~ into this place, intending to make a fortune on the demonic beasts of the Wisdom Forest, this hustle and bustle has not changed the appearance of the town much, the only change is that there are a few more bars and professional unions in the center of the town.

As the liveliest place in Shining Gold Town, the mercenaries who come back from hunting monsters in the evening will have a good drink at the bar in the center of the town, and through alcohol and thick voices, they can relieve the huge pressure in their hearts.

However, among the many bars, there is one bar that stands out from the rest.

This bar called Dragon Gate Inn not only serves food and drinks, but also accommodation, of course, this is not the biggest difference, the main thing is that this bar needs to queue.

Vidal is one of the ordinary young people of the Nosas Empire, and when he just became an adult, he chose to become a mercenary and came to this zone that nominally belongs to the Kingdom of Qixing, but in fact it is a three-way zone, intending to earn the first pot of gold in his life from the monster.

After three months in the Wisdom Forest, Vidal felt that he was a mature mercenary in his heart, during which he also drank a lot of wine in other bars, and it was the first time he came to the Dragon Gate Inn.

If it weren't for the seniors of the mercenary group who had to come here this time, Vidal preferred to choose the fiery rose bar next to it. There are cheap ales, and coquettish dancers.

"Captain, is it necessary for us to wait in this place? Where to drink is not to drink? Go to the fiery roses, I have a treat tonight, and their dancers have been with me for a long time. Vidal was impatiently egging on the side, even going so far as to personally pay for the drunkards around him to drink.

The man who was called the captain showed disdain, and he snorted coldly and said, "You listen to Vidal, don't say such a shameful thing in the future." Do you know why so many people would rather line up here than go to another bar? Look at the people lining up here!"

Vidal, who was in an irritable mood, casually looked at the people in line around him, and then his mouth couldn't close.

"My God, isn't that the big boss of the Tyrannosaurus Mercenary Regiment, next to him is Sui Rui, the number one master of the Tianhe Mercenary Regiment, how could the two of them be together? The one who came over was Pang Tong, one of the three masters of all the mercenary groups in Shining Gold Town?" As he spoke, his voice couldn't help but be lowered, in front of these people, he was not even an ant.

Vidal's captain said triumphantly: "You're right, it's them, they are not only masters, but also have another identity, all of them are famous drunkards! The reason why they are honestly queuing up here is because the Dragon Gate Inn has the best wine in the entire Shining Gold Town, and even the Qixing Kingdom and even the mainland."

The most important thing is that after drinking this wine, it will make your body feel very comfortable, accelerate your own recovery speed, relieve physical fatigue, and even improve your speed and strength in a short period of time. As long as it's a mercenary who has been here for a long time, he knows about it, so I'm sorry for what you just said, wait quietly in this place, and we'll be there soon. ”

The long wait finally gave Vidal and the others a chance to enter the Dragon Gate Inn, but after ordering the wine, his mood became even more depressed.

"Captain, is this really a bar? Why is it so quiet?" The quiet atmosphere made Vidal feel weak, and he always felt that something was going to happen.

The captain also said with a nervous face: "Be quiet, it is not allowed to speak loudly here, if you violate the rules, you will not only be kicked out, but also pulled into the blacklist." ”

"What is the reason why the mercenaries are not allowed to speak loudly when they go into the bar to drink? I don't believe that they dare to say anything if we talk loudly, and the shop will be demolished when the time comes. Vidal looked unhappy, of course, this unhappiness was not necessarily due to this regulation, but also probably because he couldn't fight on the dancer tonight.

Vidal was answered by a slap from the captain, which slammed him on the head and made him look in the eyes.

"If you want to die, it's better to die yourself, don't harm us, do you know who the owner of this bar is? It's the lord of Chiba Ridge, the first-class viscount of the Qixing Kingdom, Ye Chao, to put it bluntly, Shining Gold Town is someone's territory. And the mercenaries who ate in Shining Gold Town more or less owe this adult a favor, as long as you dare to say a disrespectful word, believe it or not, your body will lie in the gutter the next day?"

"It's too much of an exaggeration to owe him a favor!" Vidal's voice unconsciously raised an octave.

At this time, the door of the bar was suddenly slammed open, and several mercenaries stumbled and rushed in with a wounded man covered in blood and shouted: "Is Lord Ye Chao here, Lord Ye Chao is not here! Please save my brother!"

The sudden episode attracted the attention of everyone in the bar, and many mercenaries gasped after seeing the wounds, and Sui Rui, the number one master of Tianhe, stood up and said, "What's the matter, you have met the Red Flame Demon Wolf?"

"That's right, a few of us returned from the Wisdom Forest after hunting the Demonic Beast today, who knew that we met the Red Flame Demon Wolf who was supposed to be active in the middle of the Wisdom Forest on the periphery, this brother of mine was slapped by the Red Flame Demon Wolf in order to cover our retreat, who can save him, please save him!" The person who spoke was crying with tears streaming down his face, where was he still like a mercenary licking blood from the knife all day long.

The people in the bar looked at the injured with either indifference or sympathy, they were mercenaries, they were very good at letting them kill, and there was nothing they could do to save them.

And when they first entered the industry, they knew how dangerous the mercenary profession was, in the process of hunting Warcraft, the roles of hunters and prey are definitely not so fixed, and if you want to kill others, you have to hold the consciousness of being killed by others.

"Three ribs are broken, and they are inserted ~ into the lungs, unless the sacrifice of the Light Holy Sect is in this place, I am afraid it will be hopeless. Sui Rui looked at the wounds of the wounded and expressed his opinion, which was also the opinion of most of the mercenaries. Even if this injury could save his life temporarily, complications would kill him later.

At this time, a young man came out of a room on the second floor of the bar, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in white, with long black hair tied behind his back, holding a wine jug in his hand, pressing his hands on the railing on the second floor and saying: "Carry the man up, let me see, if you don't want him to die in the hands of your own people, it is better to move lightly." ”

After the young man appeared, most of the mercenaries downstairs bowed their heads and saluted and shouted Lord Ye, and the companions of the injured also had a look of hope. This person is the lord of Chiba Ridge, the first-class baron of the Qixing Kingdom, Ye Chao, and the town of Shining Gold belongs to Chiba Ridge, which is also his territory.

Ye Lan waved his hand and said, "Do whatever you have to do, I want to save people, you guys are quieter." ”

Looking at Ye Chao who returned to the room, Vidal's captain stabbed him who was already stunned and said: "Now you know, Lord Ye has excellent medical skills, many mercenaries have been saved by him, and many masters have also been instructed by him, this is the reason why we really respect him, and the reason why we are willing to abide by the rules here." ”

By eleven o'clock in the evening, most of the mercenaries in the bar had left, and they were busy with their livelihood the next morning.

Ye Lan sat alone in front of the bar, pouring himself a pot of wine, his eyes did not have a fixed focus, and his thoughts wandered out.

Today is his seventeenth birthday, and it is also the seventeenth year that he has been in this world.

As a tech nerd on Earth, he used to live a simple and regular life, dedicating the rest of his time to the computer and game consoles at home except for work. He still remembers that it was a thunderstorm night, and he was about to relive his childhood computer games, when the moment he pressed the mouse, there was a flash of lightning and thunder outside,

Before he could figure out what was going on, he came to this world with sparks and lightning all the way, and was born in the family of Ye Cheng, the first-class marquis of the Qixing Kingdom, and became the third son of the Ye family.

Reborn into this world, he was once confused, he didn't know what he was going to do next, what was the meaning of his life? Just when he felt bored and extremely painful in his heart, a faint voice sounded in his head.

"The host is in good condition, the program has been successfully activated, and the program test has been completed, please receive your main quest, build an inn of your own in the Canglan Continent, and find a way to upgrade it to a five-star inn, the task time is unlimited, and the task reward returns to Earth!"

When he first heard this voice, Ye Lan thought that he was idle and crazy, and he didn't pay attention to it. However, in the days to come, this voice will always appear in his head from time to time, and as he gets older, it will appear more and more frequently.

It wasn't until one day that the voice in his head gave him a book of exercises that should have been a system reward in advance, that he was sure that all this was true, and resolutely came to his fiefdom and established his own Dragon Gate Inn.

That's five years.

Ye Lan raised the wine glass in his hand and said to the sky: "Respect those years that have passed and passed but are gone forever, respect me who was reborn, and respect these seventeen years of dull and boring time!"

After drinking the wine, he stood up and planned to go back to his room to complete today's Sunday transport, when the door to the bar was slammed open, and a staggering figure walked towards the bar.

"I'm sorry, we're closed, I want to drink and come back tomorrow. The sudden uninvited guest made Ye Chao upset for a while, and his displeasure could be heard from his tone.

The other party did not turn to leave, but continued to walk to the bar and gasped and said, "Prepare a room for me, and then ask for something to eat!"

"I said, what the hell is going on with you, I have already said that we are closing, why don't you leave, there are no rooms here!"

Before Ye Chao's words were finished, a voice came to mind and said: "The mission has appeared, please assist the secret agents of the Qixing Kingdom to successfully evade the pursuit of the enemy country."

The difficulty of the task is C+, and the completion of the task rewards 100 experience points and 100 honor points.

Success Conditions: The client survives for four hours, or successfully leaves Shining Gold Town.

Failure conditions: The task delegate is dead, and important documents are lost.

Failure to perform a mission will deduct 200 XP and 200 Fame, and you will have 10 seconds to consider whether to accept the mission, 10, 5, 3, 1!"

This countdown method of the system fundamentally cut off the possibility of Ye Chao's thinking, he could only choose to accept the task, and then took out a key from his arms and handed it over and said helplessly: "I am Ye Chao, the lord of Qianye Ridge, the first-class viscount of Qixing, don't say anything first, the third room on the left hand side of the second floor, after entering, there is a dark room inside, you hide it yourself, there is food and medicine in it, take care of yourself, I will find time to talk to you in detail." ”

The other party took the key handed over by Ye Lan, nodded and thanked him, and hurriedly went upstairs. Almost at the same time as he entered the room, the door of the bar was opened again, and a small group of people dressed as businessmen jumped in from outside, looking at the bulging bags of the group, Ye Chao's brows furrowed even tighter.

"What is this? God heard me say that life is boring, so give me a surprise for my seventeenth birthday? Six great sword masters, it seems that things are not small!"
