"I have decided! We are going to Freedom City!"
Early the next morning at the Fool Adventure Group's camp, Mengzhu, who had just gone online, jumped onto the wooden table in the hall of the mansion: "It's not easy to get in touch with the Speaker of the Principality. No matter what, we can't let go of this line. Yes! Even if the mission is not completed, he won't blame us, right?"
"Whether we will be blamed will depend on the outcome of our mission." Whispering voice, who had been sitting in the corner early, replied calmly: "If we cause a big trouble, or make someone angry The Lord of the Free City...even Pamir probably can't protect us."
"How could we be so stupid?" The little girl took the teacup handed over by Ningyu Ninglan, and then shook her golden braid in dissatisfaction: "There's you, there's Sister Ninglan, and there's that irritating one How could we fail when uncle is here? The worst we can do is let Xiao Hongchen and the others stay in the hotel every day and not be allowed to go anywhere. This will save them from accidentally getting into trouble for us..."
"Are you sure that doesn't include yourself?"
The blue-haired swordswoman looked at Mengzhu's face with a smile: "And... your little brain, did you come up with such a little thing in one night?"
"Oh, don't do this."
The little girl's mouth immediately became even higher: "I know I'm a bad leader, but...but there are still you. Let's all work together to find a solution, even if...even if we encounter something big... difficulty……"
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she looked at the other party's brighter and brighter smile, and stopped a little embarrassedly: "Well, then we'd better stay in Tania honestly..."
"...Have you never thought of splitting up into a group?"
"Split into groups?"
Looking at the smiling face of the blue-haired woman, Mengzhu's voice, which was originally like a mosquito's nagging, suddenly became confused: "Even if we include the bad boy, there are only seven of us? Do we actually have to divide it?"
"It's not like we're going to fight on the front line. Why do we need so many people?" Xu Yu Liushang covered her mouth with a sweet smile: "If nothing happens, this mission only requires words. As for negotiation skills and games Experience...who do you think is better than your uncle?"
"Well, it's not that I don't believe in uncle..." The little girl pursed her lips: "When we were formulating the guild rules before, uncle also made a lot of sense in every sentence, but... we also really want to go, okay? Good? The City of Freedom! The Bridge of Miracles! And the endless sea!"
"Didn't I warn you a long time ago? It's not a good place there."
Slowly turning around, the blue-haired woman walked towards the door: "If you don't have any extraordinary skills or wisdom, trying to survive in that place... is a very difficult thing to do. You guys These cute little sheep can certainly gain some knowledge, but if you listen to my little suggestions..."
"It's better that you don't go." She tilted her head and said, "Otherwise, the little sheep will be eaten by hungry wolves before they grow up."
"……snort."
Looking at the beautiful figure walking out of the door, the little girl snorted unwillingly, grabbed a drawing beside her, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not that I want to hold you back, but where is anyone?" I became a master all of a sudden. If you don’t give me a chance to practice, how can I... Huh?"
"Uncle, come up!" She suddenly put down the paper in her hand, and then jumped to the door of the house: "Why are you here? We have been waiting for you for a long time, okay..."
"Going to see someone off." Duan Qing said in a low voice, "Sending Qian Zhihe home."
"...Ah?" Mengzhu's expression of surprise immediately turned into surprise: "She, she, she, why is she gone?"
"She wants to go back, so she will go back naturally." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "And...it's not like we won't see her again. What does your expression mean?"
"Well……"
The golden ponytail hung down in despair, and then turned in the direction of Duan Qing following the little girl's movements, but before he could react, Mengzhu, who remembered something, suddenly turned around and asked, "What about you? ?When did you leave Cerulean City? We have only met once or twice, it would be a pity to leave like this..."
"……ah?"
Duan Qing was stunned for a long time, and then he remembered the lie he had told: "Ah hahaha, I, I should stay here for a while, after all, my friend hasn't come back yet, so... uh, there are more Opportunity, hahahaha... Well, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, this."
The girl followed Duan Qing's gaze, and then excitedly waved the paper in her hand: "This is the future layout of our station. Take a look... We plan to design a counter here, something like The ones from the Adventurer's Association. Since this house is so big, it would be a waste not to use this space! And these decorations... We plan to get some flower pots and put a bunch of them here, and these It would be nice to put a few paintings on the wall..."
"...Okay, okay, don't show these things to me."
Duan Qing, who finally achieved the goal of changing the topic, smiled bitterly and shook his hand: "Anyway, as long as you are willing to spend money, you have the final say on these things. For people like us who have no taste, what kind of residence is important to us. the same……"
"Well, then, let's take a look at this!"
The little girl then grabbed another piece of paper on the table and pulled it open in front of Duan Qing: "This is our guild...oh no, it's the emblem of our adventure group. What do you think?"
"...What is this, a cucumber?"
"...It's the moon! The moon!"
Pulling down the white paper in front of Duan Qing, Mengzhu shouted dissatisfied: "What a look, this is the crescent moon that represents holiness and nobility! There are so many outstanding women in our adventure group, so of course we have to use the moon as our symbol." Representative..."
"...This is probably an essay you wrote on a whim, right?" Duan Qing secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead: "The painting is so abstract, I thought it was a banana at first..."
"Then you should draw one!" The little girl pulled back the piece of paper: "The game is not easy to operate in the first place. It took a lot of effort to draw such a work, but in the end, you guys have been fooled all day long. I feel disgusted by my teammates who can’t see anyone, so I ask you to design one and you don’t care..."
"Why do we need a team emblem?" Duan Qing quickly stopped the other party's thoughts: "We are not a famous team, this kind of dispensable thing..."
"Of course I have it!"
As if some topic of concern was mentioned, the little girl's expression immediately became lively: "We will become a famous adventure group in the Free Continent in the future, so we must have a group emblem as a necessity. Look at the world. , don’t Wings of Liberty and the like have something like this? During the game, everyone had one on their arm. They looked so handsome! Back then, they were blind and gave our group the name The Fool. This time I am designing the team emblem. I cannot waste this opportunity again no matter what..."
"So we won't participate in the competition at all. What's the use of saying this."
Helplessly raising his hand, Duan Qing pushed the little girl who was about to jump on top of him away for a few minutes, then looked at the other person's red face, and finally couldn't resist the idea of pouring cold water on him: "Regiment emblem You can just draw and play with this kind of thing yourself. If you want to get everyone's approval, we can't just rely on shouting. The famous guilds in the alliance are all in the alliance. It has been registered there, and the name has not only been reviewed, but also passed various inspections and certifications... What, you don't believe it? Then do you think that the names of so many guilds are randomly chosen? What if those professional players If the names of guilds and guilds can be abused casually, you can now find 10,000 Wind-breaking Thunders and 10,000 Swords of Justice in the free world."
"Just like a trademark, the name of the name in the game also needs to be named." Duan Qing concluded: "If you can just shout it out, people like Nan Tieshan and Lu Bench won't have to spend so much effort. ”
"Why is it so troublesome..."
"But our achievements are at least recognized in the game."
Looking at the little girl's slightly disappointed face, Duan Qing bent down and picked up the rough paper that fell from her hand: "The Adventurers Association and the principality officials like Ferriston have given us so much. Are there any benefits? Not only do we have a station that many guilds would not envy, but we also have so many team places that can be recruited. With strength, we will naturally get more attention, and our adventure group will definitely be able to develop in the future. Get up, so you don’t have to worry about things like this that happen naturally.”
"Although I'm not very interested in the development model of big guilds, but..." Duan Qing said comfortingly: "Our small adventure group now has great advantages. This is a fact that many people have recognized... You are so What are you looking at me for? This is nothing."
"Still! Have you forgotten how miserable our adventure group was when they were wanted?"
"That was pushed aside by the changes within the principality, and it is not our own problem. What's more, we have survived it now. Don't mention the past again..."
"...What about now? Can you give me a few words of advice now?"
"Well, as long as you don't write down silly rules like paying 328 to join a group..."
"you you you you you"
"Hey, hey, don't do it. My suggestion is so refreshing and upright. Look at how the evil young man from Jie City has been manipulated by your rules for joining the group these past two days..."
The two hands chasing each other in the living room suddenly stopped, and Duan Qing, who was "escaping", suddenly became a little strange. Then he looked at Mengzhu who noticed something strange about him, and his figure gradually became blurry. stand up. Then came the shouts and screams belonging to the little girl. He shook his head in amusement, and then gently touched the other person's head with his arm that was about to disappear: "Don't worry, it's just..."
"Someone seems to be looking for me outside."
Various lights were constantly switching in front of his eyes. He moved his fingers familiarly, and then got out of his game cabin when the familiar scene appeared in front of him again. A familiar figure in the past few days had disappeared in front of him. He hesitated for a while with a sense of sadness, and then moved his gaze away from the unique reminder light of the luxury game cabin.
"There is a knock on the door, please pay attention"
"There is a knock on the door, please pay attention"
Snapped.
It just happened to be this time... Could it be that the landlady has come back again, right?
Reluctantly pressing the button connected to the door, Duan Qing slowly got up, his expression twitching inexplicably for a while, but eventually he gradually stabilized. Eliminating certain possibilities that made him feel uneasy, he silently walked to the door of his home, and then, after taking a deep breath to calm his mood, he slowly turned the doorknob in front of him: "No... "
"No one will find out, not... uh."
Looking at the familiar face appearing outside the crack of the door, his expression gradually froze for a while, and then he suddenly pushed his hands and closed the door again. Slow and orderly knocking on the door then sounded behind Duan Qing, and at the same time there was Ruoyouruwu's low laughter. He stared for a long time, and finally adjusted his expression. , slowly opened the door a little: "Ah hahaha, this... uh, you, miss you..."
"Can I help you?"
"I'm looking for someone named Duan Qing."
Still wearing the special work clothes, Chu Lingbing slowly smiled, then shook his long black hair like a waterfall, and walked forcefully into Duan Qing's room. The two pairs of eyes looked at each other in the air for a moment. Duan Qing, who was quickly defeated, hurriedly raised his non-hostile hands, and then asked cautiously while shaking his hands: "Um... you are..."
"You won't forget me so soon, will you?"
In the scene that was almost the same as a few months ago, the woman alone sat unceremoniously on the sofa on the side of the living room, then raised her arms and looked at the awkward man with funny eyes: " Dear customer, you once cheated me of a version of the luxury game cabin."
"You should still remember this, right?"
"Ah, ah yes yes yes..."
Duan Qing nodded immediately: "You were the... manager at that time? Well, you don't still remember that incident at that time, right? You are the general manager of the dignified Tianxiang Company. A big man has a big belly, and you can't do it every day. Remember these trivial things, and then have trouble with a little person like me? Besides, you finally agreed to the transaction at that time, and now you regret it..."
"I have no intention of going back on my words, and this is no small matter."
The woman's eyebrows gradually arched: "After all, the difference in price of the exchanged goods... was made up by me."
"……ah?"
"Yes, I'm here to settle accounts today." Putting one of her slender legs on the other knee, the woman's originally cold face became brighter: "After nearly half a year of trial... it should be done. Did you pay back the difference, Master?"
"...Teacher, Master?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "Ah hahaha, what are you talking about, how can I..."
beep
The loud reminder interrupted the man's words again, and at the same time attracted the attention of the two people present. However, the woman who seemed to be prepared slowly took out her communication ball from behind, and then faced Duan Qing blinked his big eyes in the direction of Qing's game cabin: "You... seem to have received a message from a friend."
"Would you like to take a look?"
