"Compared to Olimar, Blood Harbor currently has more dungeons and combat content worthy of my production, so I did not return to Olimar, but chose to stay in Blood Harbor and became a player of the Dead Fleet. .”
Qian Xiaoqian said this in the official event before the last major version update, and Han Dongwen certainly remembered it.
In the Crown of the Dead Tavern, the area around Han Dongwen's table had been intentionally or unintentionally spread out into a vacuum. The surrounding drinkers and bartenders all tacitly stayed away from their table.
This is of course not because of Han Dongwen, nor because of Qimen Escort Agency.
"The Dead Fleet..."
Han Dongwen pondered, and Qian Xiaoqian in front of him smiled: "Yes, we represent the Dead Fleet and are here to pick up the escort."
The agreed-upon code had been corrected, and there was nothing wrong. He could obviously serve as the escort to pick up the goods escorted by Han Dongwen and others.
"Is Blood Harbor fun? Are there many copies?"
On the side, Fuzzy and Rabbit Legs chatted with Qian Xiaoqian, and he could only smile bitterly: "Let's wait until the incident is over before we talk, okay?"
After saying that, he slightly raised his head and looked at Xu Garlic on the other side of the table, nodded and said, "Long time no see."
Qian Xiaoqian was naturally talking about the last meeting in the live broadcast room of Queyin Cultural and Creative Company. Xu Garang nodded expressionlessly in response.
"Let's inspect the goods."
Han Dongwen kicked the box with his foot in a cold tone - he originally only suspected that the escorted goods of Haizhou Yihong Building were related to the Mianjiang Merchant Group based on Crow Bay's original reputation in the game, but now as a stranger from Blood Harbor The appearance of Qian Xiaoqian, who organized the "Dead Man Fleet", made Han Dongwen directly conclude that there must be some connection between Daqimen and the Mianjiang Merchant Group.
The existence of the Dead Fleet is no secret.
Even though Qian Xiaoqian did not explain it in the official event at that time, there was always someone who could find out if he had any information.
The aliens registered in the Blood Harbor are regarded as suffering sailors in the early stages of the game, and they can almost be said to be the easiest group of people to be accepted - the Blood Harbor is originally the lair of gangsters, and those who flee here without relatives and want to make a living are not few.
The aliens started working as sailors in Bloodport, and in the beginning they were no different from anyone else.
Until some time passes.
The business done by Blood Harbor is always dangerous regardless of whether it is legal or not.
If an ordinary person's ship is destroyed on the sea, the only outcome will be death.
It was at this time that the people of Blood Harbor discovered that even if these aliens boarded the sunken and damaged ship yesterday, they would always appear at the dock the next day.
As a result, the news of the immortal aliens left the Blood Harbor without a word. The sailors began to be afraid of such people, and began to doubt and fear their existence. This is not surprising. There was a rebellion on the ship, so even if he was buried in the deep sea with other crew members, he would reappear at the dock of Blood Harbor in the early morning soon.
Life is the people of Blood Harbor's favorite bargaining chip in negotiations. When this method fails, there will be no room for them in the entire Blood Harbor.
Except for one person.
The youngest but most re-used lieutenant general in Blood Harbor.
Zhan Taiyi ran away from Si Yangluo, the capital of Simeng Kingdom, and came to Blood Harbor.
At his insistence, the alien players in Blood Harbor formed a separate fleet and formed a fleet that was truly fearless and unafraid of death, just like a ghost.
Only dead people are not afraid of death.
The Dead Man's Fleet is one such fleet.
Qian Xiaoqian smiled, lowered her head and opened the box that Han Dongwen kicked.
Coming to the Crown of the Dead to pick up escorts is just one of the daily tasks of the Dead Fleet today, and it has never been the first time.
"I'll click on it."
He lowered his head slightly towards Han Dongwen, and at the same time gently raised his hand and pointed at the treasure in the box with his index finger.
His mouth was counting, one, two, three, four, five.
Han Dongwen frowned slightly.
Why counting? It was as if he didn't care at all whether the treasure inside was damaged, he only cared about whether the numbers were correct.
"...seven, eight, eight items in total."
After Qian Xiaoqian finished counting, she looked at Han Dongwen.
"A lot of it." Han Dongwen raised his chin slightly.
There is nothing wrong with the goods secured, which is naturally something that the escort can be proud of.
But to his surprise, Qian Xiaoqian showed a somewhat regretful expression, shrugged slightly and said:
"it's a pity."
pity?
"What's the pity? This is what we escorted here!"
The furry man on the side spoke like Han Dongwen's mouth substitute.
Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "When this batch of things was sent to Simeng, it was eight pieces, and it is still eight pieces now. In other words, you can't take any of them back."
"who?"
Xu Garan on the side suddenly opened his mouth.
Qian Xiaoqian was stunned: "Why, didn't your escort agency tell you when the incident happened?"
Shao Mao shook his head, and Xu Garlic also shook his head.
Han Dongwen sat on a chair and maintained his expression calmly.
What does Qian Xiaoqian mean?
Could it be that this is not an ordinary escort trip, but should be missing a few items?
Who is he talking about?
"Did anyone bring it? Let me take a look." Han Dongwen said in a deep voice.
Qian Xiaoqian stood up and smiled: "Right at the door."
As he spoke, he handed Han Dongwen a bulging purse, which was the remaining half of the escort money.
"Stop being so petty to the NPC, tell me quickly, who are you talking about?" Maomao has never been patient. Several people have stood up from the table, and the two people behind Qian Xiaoqian have also hugged the box. It was announced that this escort trip was successfully over.
Hearing Maomao urging herself like this, Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "I'm a game guide, and information is what I like. Why should I tell you?"
Furry was angry, but couldn't find anything to say to him. The group of people had walked out of the Crown of the Dead and arrived at the streets of Crow Bay.
"Right behind the pub."
Qian Xiaoqian stood beside Han Dongwen and raised her hand to point the way.
Sure enough, there was someone.
Eight bruised children were led by iron chains, their hands tied with heavy shackles. They stood in the shadow of the alley, looking anxiously at Qian Xiaoqian and other people.
Han Dongwen took a deep breath and stopped.
It can be seen from the skin color and hair color that these eight children are all from Simeng.
"Who are they?"
Xu Guanlan's voice suddenly sounded in the narrow alley, Qian Xiaoqian looked back at her: "I told you, I am..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Garang took a deep breath and said coldly: "I have found a new high-status partner."
"High position——"
After hearing this, Qian Xiaoqian's eyes almost sparkled: "The kind of person who doesn't take ridicule?"
"Mechanically, there is no ridicule, and there are usually important events."
Xu Garlic bit his lower lip and glanced at Qian Xiaoqian with sharp eyes: "So tell me who these children are. After you explain clearly, I will show you that high-status object."
Han Dongwen naturally turned his back to them and stood silently.
He shouldn't be able to understand this kind of conversation, and he shouldn't know that Xu Garlic used him as bait to get Qian Xiaoqian to hand over information.
But Xu Garlic is really good at it.
For strategy researchers like Qian Xiaoqian, the attraction of a rare mechanism is still much greater than a secret that not many people know about in the Dead Fleet.
"Child...? Oh, these little NPCs."
Qian Xiaoqian's eyes have moved to the eight Simeng children, and she smiled: "Of course it is the materials sent by Qimen. After they are sent to the Blood Port, some scraps of copper and iron will be auctioned in Simeng. , if someone pays, you can bring him back to Simeng."
Xu Garlic looked at the group of children, his expression slowly turned colder, and he asked in a serious voice: "If the number of escorts we have secured is not eight today, does it mean that the ransom for the children has been paid off? Can we take them away?" "
Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect that these NPCs could engage in trafficking. They are pretty awesome, hahaha!"
His laughter echoed in the alley, but it was unexpectedly monotonous.
No one laughed with him.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Xiaoqian turned to look at Xu Garlic strangely, but she met the other person's cold eyes: "Playing games, wouldn't it be better if the events were interesting? I know the game is real, but it's just data."
Xu Garlic bit his lip and said nothing.
This is a collision between two attitudes towards the game, some are emotional and some are rational.
How could she not know this truth?
Neither of them is wrong.
"It's so pitiful..." Fluffy murmured, gently grabbing the sleeve of the rabbit's leg next to him.
"I want to save them." Xu Garlic said.
Qian Xiaoqian shook her head without hesitation: "That won't work. If the incident fails, I will lose my reputation."
Xu Garlic looked up at him: "Is reputation so important?"
"Of course, otherwise how do you think you can change skills in the Dead Fleet?"
Qian Xiaoqian shrugged: "There is a random boss in the northeast of Blood Harbor during this period. I have to strengthen it and try to get the first kill to write the guide. I can't promise you, sorry."
The attitude is sincere and the reasoning is self-evident.
Xu Garlic was speechless and felt tight in his chest.
"Okay, okay, tell me about the high-ranking NPC."
Qian Xiaoqian's tone became enthusiastic. What he always cared about was the interaction of the mechanism, the design of data, and the geeky feeling of studying the gameplay-if Sherlock Hook is a die-hard fan of the plot and setting, Qian Xiaoqian is the kind of person who wants to delve into the non-plot parts.
Xu Garlic sighed, but did not directly answer his words. He only said: "What do you want to do to let him go?"
"You want to force me to pvp?"
Qian Xiaoqian looked at Xu Garlic: "This is Crow Bay, and I have the title of Dead Man's Fleet. You will definitely be fooled when the guards come. Besides, if you are separated from the incident NPC and command the action, won't your incident fail?" "
He raised his hand and pointed at Han Dongwen, who was dressed in white behind him.
"I suggest you complete this small task quickly and wait until...ah!"
Halfway through Qian Xiaoqian's words, she suddenly screamed in pain and turned around to look.
A dagger had already been pierced into his arm, and the NPC in white clothes had turned around and looked at him almost expressionlessly.
A line of clearly visible text appeared above the head of the white-clothed NPC in Qian Xiaoqian's field of vision, and he showed a confused expression.
"This NPC has... a bright blood bar?"
"Chi...Han Yang?"
