The headquarters building of the Merchant Alliance is not as majestic and luxurious as imagined. Instead, it is quite low-key in appearance. It looks like an ordinary office building.
Mu You walked all the way to the door and wandered around twice. His sneaky appearance made the security guard at the door look at him warily. Obviously, his face could not be used as a pass.
When Mu You was thinking about who he should contact in the business alliance, a young man in a suit who looked like a steward came out. After seeing Mu You, he hurried over.
"Is this Mr. Mu You?" The other party was very polite. In fact, when he saw Mu You's face, he was already 70-80% sure, but he still wanted to confirm.
"It's me." Mu You nodded.
"That's good. Please come with me. The door will open in ten minutes."
The steward led Mu You into the building. With someone leading him, the security guard at the door did not stop him.
After entering the elevator, the two of them did not go up, but pressed the -3 floor.
Soon, the elevator arrived. Mu You followed the young man into the third underground floor. Along the way, he could already see sentries equipped with various heavy weapons, and each position was equipped with fully armed security personnel.
Moreover, Mu You found that the levels of these personnel were not low, most were around level ten, and the lowest one was at level eight.
"These are security posts to guard against the creatures on the other side of the door." "The steward explained.
Mu You nodded. This was the normal approach. His door was unconditional, otherwise similar security measures would have to be installed.
"By the way, I still don't know where your door is opposite?" Mu You asked.
"It's the forest outside the border of Erling." said the steward.
"Border of Erling..." Mu You was stunned for a moment. He had already asked Vivian about the geographical distribution of the Ran'el Empire earlier. He had heard about this place, which was located somewhere on the border in the east of the empire, and between the elves. Forest borders, the 'spirit' of 'Erling' actually refers to the elves. This forest is actually the buffer zone between the empire and the elves.
Unexpectedly, the door of the Merchant Alliance is right at the border of Erling, only one step away from the Elf Forest.
While talking, the two walked through several passages and finally arrived at the door.
This is a specially opened hall. Eighty or ninety people have gathered in the hall at this time. They are all players who are about to enter. They are all fully armed and scattered around the hall in teams of five.
"The door opens on time at four forty. You must be back before this time tomorrow. Also, the backpack here cannot be opened after entering the door. If you have anything to bring, you must bring it in advance Get ready." The manager was also afraid that Mu You didn't know the rules, so he hurriedly reminded him a few times.
"Okay, go ahead and go, thank you very much."
Mu You nodded, he did have some preparations to do.
After sending the steward away, Mu You temporarily stayed away from the hall, found a place to call Xiaoya and the others, and informed them of his entry time and estimated time to arrive at the Elf Forest. Then I briefly discussed the next plan with the two of them.
After hanging up the phone, Muyou placed the equipment and props in order, let Little Spider and Vivian out, and then returned to the hall.
At this time, the door has been open for a few minutes. Players have entered the door in advance, and only a few security personnel are left in the hall.
Mu You switched to the watchman skin, walked into the hall, explained his identity to the gatekeeper, and was let in smoothly.
But then when he was about to enter, he heard a slightly familiar female voice at the door of the hall behind him: "Sorry, sorry, I was late because of something on the road."
Mu You looked back and saw a fair girl dressed as a nun, dragging a staff in her hand and striding into the hall.
This informal running posture has a strong sense of tearing with the pure and elegant nun's appearance. It is obviously the skin and not the player's body.
And Mu You also knows this player.
[Level 8 player (Lin Haihai), attributes: strength 15, agility 8, intelligence 45,
Constitution 15, health value: 4000, magic value: 500, luck value 3+10 points, remaining life span: 1236 years, 99 days, 15 minutes and 03 seconds. Physical Defense: 65. Elemental Defense: None. Currently loading skin: Praying Angel. Current equipment: Angel Hand Mirror, Prayer's Cross Staff, Prayer's Holy Cloth]
Lin Haihai, also known as Lin Hai, Lin Xue's anchor brother, has joined the Business Alliance a long time ago, and with his financial resources, it is not difficult to get into a high position in the Business Alliance. It is not surprising that he will appear here at this time. .
What really surprised Mu You were his attributes and equipment. The four-dimensional attributes add up to 83 points, which is 16 extra points higher than a normal level 8 player!
A piece of equipment is even more terrifying, with one epic piece, five rare pieces, and four or five other high-quality pieces that glow with green light. The level of this piece of equipment alone has surpassed many mid-level players of more than ten levels!
And the skin of this 'Praying Angel' doesn't look like an ordinary nun, but some kind of advanced skin.
And if Mu You read it correctly, the five rare pieces of equipment among these are actually a suit called 'Prayer'.
Five pieces, that is to say, four additional attributes have been activated!
"Eh? Master!"
Lin Hai ran to the door and then noticed Mu You next to him. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, have you also joined the Business Alliance?"
"No, I just applied to borrow your door." Mu You shook his head and pointed to the door: "Go in and talk."
"oh oh."
Mu You took Little Spider and Vivian through the door and came to the forest behind.
Lin Hai also followed closely.
As the two of them stepped in, all the people scheduled for this trip from the Merchant Alliance came in, a total of ninety-eight people, and the remaining two were reserved places to prevent unexpected situations.
The person in charge of guarding the door decisively closed the door, leaving only the last crack.
"Did you get all this equipment yourself?"
Seeing the door being closed behind him, Mu You looked at Lin Haiwen. He doubted whether Lin Hai bought this set of equipment with money. Otherwise, the set of equipment would not be so easy to get.
"As for the equipment, I paid for the fine-grade ones. As for the others, this mirror comes with the skin. The remaining five rare-grade suits were obtained by me in exchange for reputation from the church. " Lin Hai said.
"Church?" Mu You was startled and glanced at Lin Hai subconsciously. Lin Hai's ID title and identity information automatically appeared in his mind, and in the identity column, it showed that he was the 'Apostle of the Holy Light Church'.
"Did you break into the church?" Mu You looked at him strangely.
The Church is another large-scale force that is different from the Wizards Association. Its sphere of influence extends to all human countries in the Star Spirit Realm. It seems to be subdivided into a variety of specific religions. Lin Hai's 'Holy Light Church' is one of them, and it is also the name of Lan E. It is the most influential and largest church in the Er Empire.
"Yes, the predecessor of this skin is from the Church. After I found the Church in the game, it directly replaced her previous position, and no one seemed to notice." Lin Hai said.
"You are so lucky," Mu You couldn't help but sigh. Lin Hai has the aura of a native of the Star Spirit Realm, and his identity as a fool will not be discovered. After wearing the skin, it is not surprising that he successfully infiltrated the local forces.
As for the church's reputation system, Mu You estimated that it should be similar to that of the elves. Now that Lin Hai has become an insider like Xiaoya, the things that can be redeemed are much richer. No wonder he can change out a complete suit so quickly.
"By the way, Master, do you also need to level up when you enter? Do you want to join us?" Lin Hai issued an invitation at this time.
"No, I have something else to be busy with..."
Mu You shook his head, then looked at Lin Hai again, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, you came at the right time. First, follow me to the Elf Forest to save someone."
"Ah, save someone?"
Lin Hai was stunned, and his expression suddenly became hesitant: "Master, this is not good. My teammates are still waiting for me now. I have to follow the team and I can't leave casually."
"Then go and tell your teammates first, don't worry.
It won't take long. "
"This..." Lin Hai still hesitated.
Mu You glanced at him: "The person we want to save is your sister. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"My sister?" Lin Hai was shocked and asked quickly: "What happened to my sister?"
"Your sister was sought revenge by an enemy guild. Now she is blocked by dozens of people in the Elf Forest. She will be killed as soon as she goes online." Mu Youyou said.
"Damn it, which guild is so provocative and dares to bully my sister?" Lin Hai immediately changed his words after hearing this, his eyes widened, and he changed into an indignant tone: "Where is it? Master, let's set off now!"
"Don't worry, go to your teammates first and make it clear, otherwise others will think I kidnapped you." Mu You said in a funny tone.
"Oh, too..."
…
Lin Hai's teammates were not far from the door. After the two walked a few dozen meters to the left, they soon saw four people waiting here in the forest not far away, three men and one woman.
"Xiao Hai, why are you so slow?"
Seeing the nun approaching, the four of them immediately came over, but after getting closer, they discovered that there was a man following Lin Hai.
"Eh? Brother You! Why are you here?" The man who spoke was the leader of the four, Huang Zhichao, the director of the Merchant Alliance, who was very surprised to see Mu You come in.
In addition, among the remaining three people, there are two others whom Mu You also knows. One is Mr. Li who has been following Huang Zhichao, and the other is Xia Chong Yubing, who has had a relationship with him before. The last one is a level 4 newcomer, probably a newbie who joined after the public beta.
"I have something to do, so I checked the door of your guild." Mu You said with a smile.
As he said that, he glanced at Xia Chong Yubing next to him. This newcomer girl whose relics were almost stolen at the job fair has now grown into a level nine player. Her attributes and equipment are no worse than Lin Hai's, and obviously so. There were quite a few adventures.
But when she thought of her coin relic with incredible effects, Mu You felt relieved. With something like this law of cause and effect, as long as it was developed well, it would be understandable no matter how fast it developed.
"Chairman, my sister was intercepted by the enemy in the Elf Forest. I have to go with the master first to rescue my sister." Lin Hai hurriedly told the whole story at this time.
"If there is such a thing, we should save people first!"
After hearing this, Huang Zhichao understood the urgency of the matter, nodded, and agreed to Lin Hai's request to leave the team. Then he looked at Mu You and asked, "Brother You, do you need our help?"
Not to mention that Mu You was an acquaintance of theirs and had helped them recover a precious hidden relic. Moreover, Mu You himself was most likely a potion master. In addition, the rescuers this time were family members of the team members. They don't mind taking the time to help out in any way.
"Haha, there's no need for that. Our opponent is just a small, low-profile guild. Your ID is too loud. If you go, I'm afraid you will scare people away immediately." Mu You waved his hand and smiled.
As a director of the Business Alliance, Huang Zhichao is also a well-known second-generation rich man in the country. He is naturally very well-known among players. If he follows, the group of people will definitely recognize him immediately. How could a third-rate small guild dare to go against a famous merchant alliance? It was entirely possible for it to be scared away on the spot.
Huang Zhichao was confused when he heard this. Aren't you going to save people? Wouldn't it be good to scare the enemy away?
But it was too late for him to figure it out. Mu You and the nuns had already walked away, and a voice came from afar: "Go on and do your work. I'll just take your little priest there and I'll send it back to you within two hours."
After leaving the area, Mu You excused himself by saying that his teleportation mark was bound to the Elf Forest and he needed to find a wild monster to die and teleport through resurrection, so he asked Lin Hai to put it into his spare backpack first.
In fact, of course he found a sufficiently concealed location nearby, put down the dark teleportation array, teleported directly to the Elf Forest, and appeared in Xiaoya's wooden house.
At this time, Chocobo and his game character's backpack have been placed in the house in advance.
Mu You moved the magic fish he had caught during this period in his backpack, then led the chocobo out of the door, and then released Lin Hai.
"Holy shit, Chocobo!"
As soon as Lin Hai appeared, he immediately saw the golden-feathered chocobo next to him. His eyes suddenly lit up. He stroked the fluffy feathers on the chocobo's neck with his hand and praised him: "Master, you actually have a chocobo. It's so handsome." Come on!"
"Okay, hurry up and tell me on the way." Mu You stuffed the chocobo with a carrot, and then stepped onto the chocobo's saddle.
Lin Hai also hurriedly climbed into the back seat. This saddle was a two-person saddle specially customized on Earth. It was just right for two people. The chocobo's maximum load capacity was also two people. Any more would cause trouble.
After sitting firmly, Mu You pulled the reins, and the impatient chocobo immediately ran out, heading towards the direction where Lin Xue and the others were off the line.
On the way, Mu You took the time to ask Lin Hai about his abilities.
Lin Hai didn't hide anything, and informed him about the abilities of the equipment and skin.
As expected, Lin Hai took a purely auxiliary route. Similar to Liu Chen, he basically mastered auxiliary magic and had almost no combat ability.
In addition, the skin of Praying Angel has a very simple and crude talent: the amount of healing and shield it produces is doubled.
It is precisely because of this talent that Lin Hai has learned a lot of healing and shielding magic. In addition, his suit also has this attribute blessing, which has led to Lin Hai's healing ability reaching a very terrifying level. It can be said that in combat, As long as his magic is not restricted, no matter how dangerous the situation is, the team's health can always remain above the safety line.
Overall, he can be regarded as an auxiliary player with extremely enhanced healing capabilities. He can play a great role in team combat.
With the chocobo running wildly, the two of them arrived at the location in less than twenty minutes.
Putting away the chocobo, Mu You and Lin Hai hid behind the trees, peeked out from among the leaves, and quietly observed the scene in the distance.
The real person's field of vision is indeed much clearer than in the game. In the game, you can only receive reminders of the opponent's ambush, and you don't know the specific position.
But at this time, with the naked eye, the real person can clearly see the distribution of all the other party's personnel.
I saw more than forty figures in the distance divided into two groups, each guarding a location. They were surrounded by several circles on three floors inside and three floors outside, almost sealing off the two locations in the middle.
Obviously, the place surrounded by them was where Lin Xue and Xiaoya went offline.
This group of people also has perseverance. A total of forty-five people are guarding here motionlessly. The few who are short of them must be taking turns to go out to kill monsters. It seems that they really plan to 'guard corpses' here 24 hours a day for a long time. The shift changes are all arranged.
"Damn, there are so many people squatting with two girls, it's obscene!" Lin Hai cursed secretly.
"You wait here, I'll go meet them first."
Mu You looked at the time. It was already 5:30 pm. He and Lin Xue Xiaoya had agreed to go online at 6:00 and 6:10 respectively. It was still early now.
"Huh? Master, do you want to challenge a group of them alone?" Lin Hai looked at Mu You in surprise.
"certainly……."
"Holy shit, Master is awesome!" Lin Hai gave a thumbs up in shock.
"……impossible."
Mu You was panting heavily and spread his hands: "If I can challenge them alone, why would I ask you to come here?"
"..." Lin Haihan couldn't do it for a long time.
"So what do you want?"
"Send a life first and dye them some color so that we can take action later." Mu Youyou said.
This time, he personally came to the forest. He definitely couldn't just drive these people away. He also had to beat them until they hurt and scared them until they no longer dared to go against him.
After instructing Lin Hai not to do anything, Mu You made a slight circle from the outside, and then without turning invisible, he strode directly into the crowd.
Mu You did not attack anyone, but for such a sudden intrusion, everyone on the other side still received the message immediately on their mobile phones.
On the outskirts of K city, in a villa near the seaside.
Fifty or sixty people gathered in the hall, sitting, standing or lying down. The same thing was that everyone was holding their mobile phones, either browsing games or browsing forums.
At a certain moment, several of them suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"The lamplighter appears!"
On the sofa, a middle-aged man headed by his eyes lit up and asked quickly: "What's going on?"
"I don't know, it just came out of nowhere!"
"Say, 'The lamplighter passed in front of you, maybe he didn't see us?"
"They should be here to save people!"
Everyone responded in a flurry, and others hurriedly looked at their phones, and sure enough they all saw similar prompts.
"Quick, do it, don't let him escape!" the middle-aged man shouted hurriedly.
In fact, there was no need for him to speak. The others had been waiting in boredom all day. When they saw someone suddenly breaking in, their first reaction was to press '' to attack. One, two, three...ten, eleven. '
Across the way, Mu You was counting and dodging in the crowd with all his strength. Of course he was hiding not to escape, but to ensure that everyone attacked him.
Being attacked by players from teams 7 and 8 at the same time was extremely stressful. All kinds of fancy magics were thrown at them for free. Mu You couldn't fight back yet, and his health line dropped rapidly. He was already reduced to residual health within two seconds of jumping into the crowd. .
Fortunately, this group of people did not deliberately avoid him, and they all attacked him as quickly as possible. Mu You blessed LV3's Endless Technique and Life Barrier, and relied on his immortality for five seconds to finally survive everyone's attack.
"Forty-three, forty-four, forty-five...it's done."
After confirming that everyone had attacked him, Mu You stopped dodging. The moment the life barrier was lifted, he was instantly killed by a large number of attacks.
An ordinary piece of black iron equipment fell on the spot and was snatched away by a group of people.
Mu You automatically resurrected more than ten meters away.
These people had been guarding him for so long. Of course, they couldn't just kill him once and then give up. They decisively surrounded him again.
But this time Mu You will not give in again.
After taking a glance and confirming that everyone's IDs were dyed red, he directly raised his staff and struck a strong wind. The strong wind surged out from around him, instantly blowing the people rushing towards him to pieces.
Then Mu You teleported away several times in a row, directly away from the scene.
The others got up and hurriedly searched around, but unfortunately they couldn't see anyone.
"Fuck, let him run away!"
In the lobby of the villa, a person looked at the notification on his phone and cursed.
"Tsk, guess he runs fast, otherwise he will definitely be killed to the point of being a super ghost!" Another person shouted.
"I just lost a black iron glove, a poor guy..."
"Okay, this guy is not weak, and he is very smart. It would be great if you can kill him once. By the way, this person suddenly appeared, and he must be trying to save people! In other words, his two younger brothers are likely to be there next. It’s about to go online!” The middle-aged man in charge analyzed at this time.
"Boss is right, everyone should quickly guard their positions. Don't let anyone escape again this time!"
The others also reacted immediately and hurriedly returned to their respective positions as instructed.
Seeing everyone taking action, Judaiwang breathed a sigh of relief and returned his gaze to his mobile phone.
However, when he saw the teammate prompt popping up on the screen, that string of red IDs, his heart suddenly jumped: he killed the opponent once, but the price was that all the members were stained with red names. Why does it feel familiar?
