"What should we do now......"
It was already night, and Duan Qing and Mengzhu were spending their last moments of the day in front of a round table at the Vika Hotel.
Weka Hotel is a well-known hotel in Fenghua Town. It is located on the most prosperous Flower Basket Street in Fenghua Town. This street is also the commercial street of Fenghua Town. It has famous snacks and various shops. All can be found here. Therefore, the liveliness of this street has made its popularity very high among the players. Many players will also choose to set up stalls and trade here, or use it as a gathering place.
I heard that some forces are secretly trying to take over a certain store here. I don’t know if they can succeed...
In short, thanks to the environment of this street, the business of Weka Hotel has become more and more prosperous. In addition to the previous travelers coming here, the large number of players as a group of adventurers have also become the main attraction of this hotel. One of the sources of income, although the food in this hotel is not much improved compared to the hotel in Green Stone Village, but correspondingly, the price is naturally much more comfortable.
But the two people sitting here just don't feel happy in their hearts.
Looking back on the inexplicable and unreasonable disaster in the afternoon, Mengzhu felt a little resentful. Although the fat man looked very weak, his identity was indeed a genuine guard captain, so although the expressions on the faces of the guards were somewhat reluctant, they finally arrested the few people blocking the door.
Of course this includes Duan Qing and Mengzhu, and it seems... they are the only two players.
They were taken to the back of the compound outside the town hall, into a small house that resembled a storage room. Several people were left hanging for a while, and then the fat man came in, pretended to interrogate them one by one, and then started to make a speech.
"Do you know why we arrested you? What you did was disturbing the peace! And because of you, a suspect we originally caught was let go. Under normal circumstances, we would treat you as his accomplices. Handled..."
The fat man's spittle flew everywhere, but the content was basically something to scare people. Several townspeople who were brought in were trembling with fear. Duan Qing and Mengzhu, as two experienced players, would definitely not buy it.
"It's obvious that you accidentally let the person go, why do you blame us...and we don't know what crime that person committed, so how do we know he is a bad person..."
The little girl's voice was not loud, but in such an environment, the fat captain would naturally hear it clearly. His little eyes were wide open, and the warning was self-evident. Unfortunately, players who are not afraid of anything must also be the same. Not afraid of such a guard captain.
"What are you looking at! Maybe you don't even know what that person did, otherwise he would have been arrested long ago..."
"fart!"
The fat man finally erupted, pointing at Mengzhu's little face and starting to threaten: "I now suspect you of committing theft, fraud, and... yes, disobeying law enforcement! You are co-defendants, and you assisted... ....Finally let your accomplices go!”
"Why don't you be so shameless, brother..." Putting his hands behind his head, Duan Qing said casually: "We don't know that person, and we don't know what he is doing there, how can we be his accomplices? ..."
"Hmph! Of course you can talk nonsense at will. Anyway... no one will believe a sinner's words." The fat man gritted his teeth and said: "When I report this matter to Mayor Rama, take it After getting permission, no matter what you say, it will not change..."
"Wait!" Mengzhu suddenly jumped up: "Who did you just say? Mayor Rama?"
"What's wrong, you... know the mayor?" There was a hint of panic in the fat man's eyes.
"We are here to find him!" After discovering the turn of events, the little girl puffed up her chest, which was not high, and said proudly.
"You...who are you two..." Realizing that something was wrong, the fat man took two steps back and looked at the two players who were obviously foreigners.
"We are...adventurers from Green Stone Village." Duan Qing stood behind Mengzhu who had his arms akimbo and raised his eyebrows, and said with a leisurely expression: "Entrusted by Gustan, we came here to... Meeting with the mayor.”
The fat captain knew the reason why this happened, so he was a little guilty at first, but now he lowered his head even more, and his two little eyes started to move around.
"Hmph, you people not only don't receive people well, but you also wrongly accuse innocent people like us." At this time, Mengzhu seemed to have a heroic feeling of being in control of the overall situation. She waved her hand in the direction of the townspeople behind her. Then he pointed at the fat man and said: "Be careful. I will come to Rama...the mayor in a moment and file a complaint against you!"
"Ah...ah hahaha, these are all...misunderstandings, um..." The fat man raised his head with a smile on his face, and the hands hidden behind him calmly Making a gesture: "Come here, put those... let them out. This... adventurer..."
Several other townspeople who were still confused walked out of the room under the guidance of the guards, leaving only Duan Qing, Mengzhu and the fat captain with a smile on his face. He rubbed his hands, then stepped forward and smiled at Mengzhu: "You...you said that you were entrusted by someone, I don't know...who it is... ..”
"Oh, I don't mean to offend, but...you see, it is my duty to protect the safety of this place, that's why I was so excited just now..."
"Oh, you're very excited, aren't you..." The little girl snorted arrogantly, then took off the rope ring from her wrist and patted it in front of the fat man: "This is the token given to us by Master Gustan. You can never lie to others..."
"Of course, of course..." The fat man smiled in apology and stretched out his two fat hands: "Let me take a look..."
The next moment, he grabbed the bracelet.
"Come on, get these two liars out!"
"Hey, how come you... return the bracelet to me!"
"What a broken bracelet..." The guards who rushed in surrounded Duan Qing and the two of them. The fat man looked at the red and black rope ring and spit, "It's just a fucking broken rope." Who do you want to bluff?"
"That's what Master Gustan gave us..."
"What kind of onion is Gustan? Why haven't I heard of it?" The fat man put on a righteous face and said loudly and righteously: "I think you adventurers have never seen the world and are often deceived by others, so I'll spare you." This time you..."
"Hey, damn fat man, you have to think about it!" Duan Qing shouted.
"Kick them all out. Don't let them... make trouble again." The fat man waved his hand, and Duan Qing and Mengzhu were escorted out. The fat man's deliberately amplified voice came from behind: "Don't let them... We, Fenghua Town, are in disgrace..."
"Hmph, who knows Gustan..." After the two men were shot away by his men, the fat man sneered and put the bracelet casually into his arms: "A bunch of people from Green Stone Village. Untouchable, you also want to scare me..."
A sharp laughter unique to Fatty could be heard in the room.
************************
"Take a rest first, and then go ask Richard." Back at the hotel, Duan Qing continued to plan the next thing, while comforting the injured Mengzhu.
The girl lay on the table with a look of lovelessness on her face, and didn't even eat much of the food in front of her - it seemed that the previous incident had dealt a big blow to her.
She was originally so proud that she ran over to find someone to support her, but in the end she became like that. No one would feel better... Besides, the little girl had always had great hopes for this gift from Guzman. The hope has now become like this...
"It's all..." Mengzhu suddenly slapped the table and stood up: "It's all that damn fat man!"
The little girl's voice was so loud that everyone else in the hotel looked over in surprise. Duan Qing quickly held down Mengzhu, who was obviously still angry, and asked her to sit back: "Don't get excited, just write down this kind of account..."
"Let's go to the mayor and file a complaint with him..." Mengzhu, whose face was red, was still angry: "This kind of scum must..."
"It's best not to do this." Duan Qing said.
"Hey, why?" Mengzhu was a little confused.
"Although that fat man is stupid, there is one fact before our eyes." Duan Qing said: "That fat man is a guard captain."
"So what..." Mengzhu said angrily: "Are you afraid of him? Well, it turns out you are such an uncle..."
"What do you mean by such an uncle... Well, no, how could I be afraid? Use your little brain to think about it." Duan Qing said helplessly: "Why would such a fool become a guard? team leader?"
"..." As if she had thought of something, the little girl stopped talking.
"So..." Duan Qing said in a deep voice: "There should be some background or relationship behind him..."
"Is there such a thing in the game..." Mengzhu said nagging, and her voice gradually became lower.
"Hey, if only it was like this..." Duan Qing said: "The most terrifying thing is, that Rama... if he is not a good bird, then wouldn't we just throw ourselves into a trap? "
"...Isn't that Gustan a good person?" Mengzhu was shocked: "We have been in a trap?"
"I don't know about this, but if it's a trap, we shouldn't be able to find it out so easily." Trying to recall the last message of the mysterious old man, Duan Qing leaned on the chair and raised his head. Looking at the ceiling: "But I still guess that the old man... must have some purpose."
"What purpose?"
"Yes." As if he was clarifying his thoughts, Duan Qing continued: "Starting from helping us, then claiming to help us, giving us bracelets, and finally leaving me that message. And... .Standing indifferently when encountering bandits."
He put down his arm and looked at the confused little girl opposite: "These things all reveal that they are abnormal, so he must be trying to achieve some...the effect he wants."
"How come there are so many things to do while playing a game!" Mengzhu held her head sadly and leaned on the table again: "This is what happened in the Emerald Forest..."
"This is a fantasy world." Duan Qing said: "So if you are tricked into tricking me, the situation will naturally become more complicated..."
"Fortunately, we still have strength." Duan Qing looked at his hands, and then slowly clenched them into fists: "As long as we become stronger, these problems will not be a problem."
*********************
After going around in a big circle, they finally found the Adventurers Association. Duan Qing and Mengzhu felt really unhappy. However, facing the enthusiasm of the sloppy Uncle Richard, it was difficult for the two of them to put on a sad face.
No matter what, the two of them can finally find a job to support themselves, as long as... they can gather the number of people.
"I personally very much hope that you will join the Adventurers Association." Richard touched his unshaven chin and said with squinting eyes: "Let's go to the Huanshan Square below to test it out, and then give you a test mission. , the whole process is completed, ensuring efficiency and speed..."
"However, you must have five people first." He looked at the two of them and raised a slap in the face.
"Friendly reminder... As long as there are five of you, it doesn't matter whether you can fight or not, whether you do things or not, even just in name..." Then, Richard covered his mouth with that palm. , said to them in a whispering manner.
There are only three of us here, who are you showing off your sneaky look...
"Here is a certificate. If anyone is really inconvenient, just sign on it..."
"Okay, okay, we get it!" Unable to stand the salesman's face, Duan Qing and Mengzhu quickly agreed to Richard's proposal, and then... went out to look for candidates.
To form an adventurer team, naturally only adventurers are needed. In other words, the members of the adventure team can only be composed of players, and NPCs cannot join the adventure team. This rule is only a conclusion based on empirical evidence, but at least Now, I have never heard of any player who is so capable of pulling an aboriginal from a free continent into an adventure group.
But from a game perspective, this is very obvious - you can't team up with NPCs.
In the final analysis, this matter is still a matter of recruiting teammates, but this time the recruits may be long-term teammates, so the two of them naturally have to investigate carefully. After a period of understanding, they found that the most suitable place to find people to form a team is probably the busiest street in Fenghua Town - Hua Lan Street.
Flower Basket Street in the morning is not as lively as Flower Basket Street in the afternoon and evening, because if players want to go out and adventure nearby, they usually follow the standard routine of "move at sunrise and return at sunset", so in the afternoon and evening, here The number of people will gradually increase. They are usually players who have gained something. They come to this place to sell their trophies, or visit other stalls to find suitable equipment for trading. Because of this, if you want to recruit teammates to go out on adventures together, coming here in the morning is also a very good choice, because... there are many people who have the same intention of forming a team as Duan Qing.
However, the majority of team formation intentions here are still wild teams.
"Little Anchidar Mountain Road, Fenghua Grassland, Honghua Village... Well, there are actually people who want to go to Falling Star Mountain. It's not a very close place, and they won't be able to come back for several days... ."
Walking on the streets of Hualan Street, Duan Qing and Mengzhu were overwhelmed by the overwhelming information about team formation.
"There are so many people... Hey, uncle, look, there seems to be someone recruiting people over there." Mengzhu pointed in one direction, where a person setting up a stall was sitting. On the wooden sign in front of him, it seemed that It contains information that a certain industry is recruiting people.
Next to him, there were many other people recruiting members sitting in a row. Among them were big-name guilds such as Jianghu and Wings of Freedom, but those recruiting players looked obviously more confident. Much more, I sit there as if I am the boss, and occasionally I can see them looking at each other, and then sparking passion in the empty space.
"If we didn't have something else to do, I really want to sit here and watch the show for a while..." Although it has been a while since Mengzhu experienced the incident, and she was comforted by Xue Ling Huan Bing later, the little girl is still concerned about these things. The big guilds don't have any good impressions, otherwise they wouldn't want to set up an adventure group.
"But if that's the case, should we also write a sign and sit there...Uncle?"
"We seem to have met an acquaintance." Duan Qing looked in another direction and said while touching his chin.
