"Miss, miss..."
"...what else?"
"No, it's nothing! No, I still feel..."
"...If it's okay, don't bother me anymore."
The door of a villa in Xianhu Community, Hualan City was suddenly pushed open with the sound of two gradually amplified voices, and two slender figures were gradually revealed in the dim light of the morning, but one of them was still wearing special work clothes. The woman was holding a small box with the Tianxiang company logo in her hand: "We are not traveling far away, so there is no need to make such a fuss. If you have any questions, please contact me via text message. I should be able to receive it at any time..."
"But, what about the company's affairs?" A woman in simple clothes from behind asked urgently.
"The company's affairs...are no longer my responsibility to handle."
The woman paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head: "Now that the storm has subsided and the guild's affairs are back on track, people like me who are in the way...should retreat behind the scenes and let go of the company's control. ”
"How can Miss think like this?" Another younger woman hurriedly dissuaded: "The guild affairs have not calmed down at all, they have just been covered up by other news. If you wait until this period of time passes, I will be safe." Don't let anyone provoke another dispute against us! I heard that Jianghu has begun to take action to move the guild's headquarters to the front line of the fortress, but those people still didn't have the slightest bit of defense. They were still there all day long. Saying so and so is wrong, so and so should be responsible..."
"A mature team will naturally solve these difficulties in its own way." The woman carrying the small box tilted her head and glanced back at the villa behind her: "With this result, Huanhai Kuangxing and the others should also Once they are able to join the management, as long as they understand what they should do...these hidden crises will eventually be resolved."
"Give them some confidence." She brushed her long black hair and showed a rare smile: "Give me some space... okay?"
"But...but you don't have to go to Area D, right?" The delicate woman behind her shouted anxiously again: "And it's still...it's still a man's house! If something happens to you, how can I follow you? The old master of the family who passed away gave me an explanation?"
"...It's okay, I'll be fine."
The woman's smile gradually disappeared, and then she suddenly turned her head: "That man is my master, he... won't harm me."
"Just think of it as a relaxing trip after my game." She opened her slender legs and walked in the direction of her hover car: "Believe me, when I come back..."
"I will definitely become stronger."
The suspension car with superior performance due to special modifications started up the next moment, and then flew away into the distance amidst a buzzing sound. However, the woman sitting in the cockpit sighed lightly, and finally put herself The annoyance in his heart vomited out: "Okay..."
"What are you doing now?" she said to herself.
"...What are you doing?"
At the same time, the man whom the woman was talking about suddenly climbed out of the window along the edge of the carriage, and then jumped on the roof of the carriage while the convoy continued to move slowly: "I actually ran to a place like this..."
"Come on, come on, try this." The blue-haired woman kneeling on the roof of the car reached out and handed him a paper bag, her eyebrows gradually arched: "You will be deeply impressed."
"...What is this?" Duan Qing took the paper bag doubtfully: "Food?"
"Smart." Xuyu Liushang smiled and replied, "But...it was the players who did it."
"oh?"
Duan Qing's eyes lit up, and he took a bite: "Well... um... is this bread? It has no taste at all..."
"The cooking technology after the update was quickly tried by players, but based on what the existing players have figured out... it is already pretty good if you want to eat ordinary food."
"A special section has been set up on the forum about the free world to share everyone's delicious food and cooking experience." The woman in maid uniform on the other side folded her hands in front of her belly, with the same smile on her face as before : "Ning Lan also read several pages and learned a lot of techniques."
"...I'm afraid none of them will be useful by then."
Pointing to the "bread" in his hand, Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "If the cooking simulation technology this time still follows the previous routine... it will probably be extremely difficult to make real and delicious food. It’s something about that.”
"According to the guesses of those players, the cooking system in the free world is mostly based on the same principle as the skill system."
Xu Yu Liushang explained in a low voice: "To simulate the food simulated in real games, it must be a method and means recognized by the system to perfectly interpret the process of ingredients becoming food. As long as it conforms to the rules implicit in the system, the produced works should be delicious. . Although there is currently no evidence that can be attributed to this implicit system and production method, but according to my guess... Since it is a free world that advertises reality, the certification method of food production is naturally closer to reality. "
"Yes, you heard me right." She glanced back at Duan Qing's strange eyes, and then said with a smile: "As long as you are a chef in the real world, you will get this money."
"Listen to what you mean... you seem to be placing your bet on me." Duan Qing sat down with squinting eyes: "What do you think I am, a five-pointed star all-powerful warrior?"
"Of course not, but I also have a bit of woman's intuition." The blue-haired swordswoman pointed to another paper bag in her hand: "If you were to do it... you should be better than those players who have started setting up roadside stalls. Much stronger, right?”
"What, you bought these from the street?"
"Of course, some players have already begun to consider this business."
The oncoming breeze blew over the roof of the carriage, causing Whispering Liushang to brush his blue hair: "Not to mention those big guilds, even ordinary teams have begun to recruit members who are good at cooking. , if you do it well...not to mention the money, maybe even the attributes will increase."
"...Hmph, attribute points in the free world are very valuable. How could they be obtained so easily?"
"Of course it's not permanent, but... it's very possible that it's temporary."
The woman pointed at Ciyu Ninglan, who was still smiling: "When your Ninglan gives it a try, all this should be clear."
"...Don't say that, Miss Liushang, Ninglan doesn't have such confidence yet."
The maid player smiled and held down her short hair: "But... everyone will be happy if we don't have to worry about starving to death all the time."
"yes."
Duan Qing held up his hands and turned to look at the clear sky above him: "I feel happy just thinking about the days when I don't have to exchange trophies with the aborigines for food. The age of adventurers' survival... is probably going to really come to an end. ”
The sound of treading on the ground came from the distance. It was the sound made by a herd of bison galloping past the plain. However, the convoy walking on Talon Avenue was not affected in any way and was still heading east. The direction is moving slowly. The three players sitting on the roof of the empty carriage did not speak anymore, but just looked at their respective skies quietly. It was not until the sound of horse hooves came from the front that the blue-haired female swordsman among them suddenly He spoke again: "Someone seems to be calling me outside. I'll log off and take a look."
"...You won't be thrown off the carriage, right?"
"...That's right, I'll go in first."
The blue hair tips flashed as the woman's words fell, and finally disappeared into the carriage under Duan Qing with the breeze. In the smiling eyes of Ningyu Ninglan who passed over to Duan Qing, she ran towards Duan Qing. The horses in front of the green chariot also slowly stopped beating the rhythmic hoofbeats: "Your Majesty the Baron... Your Majesty the Baron! A group of adventurers appeared in front of us. They want us to give us a ride. What should we do?"
"Adventurer?" Duan Qing turned around and asked in confusion, "Have you signed up for any group?"
"They said... they are called the Unnamed Adventure Group."
"puff--"
Almost spitting into the air in front of him, Duan Qing coughed and replied: "What a good name... How many are there?"
"Sir, there are three of them."
"Then it's okay, let them come up."
Waving his hands in vain, Duan Qing lazily made a decision: "Just don't let them ride in the carriage close to the envoys. It's better to let them sit in the first carriage... By the way, you are from this escort." The person in charge?"
"Yes, I am the captain of this cavalry team." P, who turned his horse's head, replied: "Although it is only temporary... But if you need anything, my lord, just give me your orders."
"……your name?"
"Jason, my lord." The man replied, "Jason Noyle."
"...Jason?" Duan Qing's eyes wandered over his body for a while: "Why do I feel that such a name sounds familiar?"
"My wife often mentions your name." Jason replied: "She often calls you... a hero."
"...Ah!" Duan Qing suddenly pointed at the other party and shouted: "You, are you An Weina's husband?"
"It seems like she mentioned me to you." Jason on the war horse smiled slightly and said, "This is my honor."
"No, no, no, it's my honor too."
Duan Qing, who was on the roof of the carriage, turned over and sat up from his supine position: "Aren't you in the city guard? Why..."
"Why... you're not dead?"
Looking at Duan Qing's puzzled face, Jason smiled bitterly and said: "The city guards led by Adjutant Boris have died in that great day, and there are still many mysterious things that have been arranged for them. Unknown people, as well as many close associates of the adjutant... Those of us who went out with Lord Tusker before were later dispersed by the imperial people in Talan Village to all parts of the plain. We thought it was a war to the death. , but in the end he survived by luck."
"Now that I think about it, it's just fate that is blessing me." Jason leaned his head and sighed: "And my family."
"...There shouldn't be many people in the city guard now, right?" Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly: "Can we still form a full-fledged Tania City Guard now?"
"That's why I'm here, sir." Jason replied with a wry smile: "The remaining team members formed several scattered teams and participated in the post-war reconstruction work. Some were responsible for cleaning up the city. Temporary command work, and some... are responsible for helping residents in need. The Speaker also consulted Tasker for his opinion, and the final result was... The city guard affairs were put on hold for the time being, so what we can do currently is Just these simple escort missions."
"It's nice to do some work like this, at least it's not dangerous."
Pointing towards the front of the carriage that was gradually coming to a stop, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Since you have escaped the disaster, just follow us honestly. As long as there are no accidents... there should be nothing wrong with this journey. Danger."
"Thank you, sir." Jason leaned down slightly: "We will do our best to serve the baron."
"Don't be like this, and don't call me sir." Duan Qing waved his hand: "Even for Slanke's sake... I won't let you die."
"Just call me Mo Shang Qingshan. Now... go pick up those people."
The order to start the motorcade was given again. Duan Qing sighed and climbed out of the carriage. Then, with the questioning eyes in the smile of Ningyu Ninglan, he got into the carriage where he had been talking before: "It seems that my family's trouble is coming too. Now, I’ll go offline and take a look, if Liushang comes online..."
"Remember to tell her."
He waved his hand, his body went offline in a blur, and then got out of his game cabin amidst a deafening noise: "Why is it so noisy...what?"
"You, you, you, you..." He pointed at the employees of Tianxiang Company who were carrying a lot of parts: "How did you get in!?"
"Um..." One of the employees put down the tools in his hands: "We were entrusted by the general manager of the small... to install equipment at your door."
"No, no, I'm asking how you got in!" Duan Qing pointed at several people and said loudly, "Where did you get the key... Oh, yes."
He patted his forehead and suddenly remembered a fact that he had deliberately ignored: "No wonder I haven't seen her online in the past few days..."
"Sir." The man suddenly asked in a low voice: "Which room in your house is free?"
"Free? Apart from this living room, there is nowhere else that is free." Duan Qing pressed his forehead and sighed: "Apart from the bathroom and the kitchen, there is probably only my bedroom... Hey, hey! You guys are going too far. !”
"Miss... oh no, the general manager has explained before that this house is already her property." The man said expressionlessly: "Except for the room you are currently in, you can't move, the other rooms can be used as you like. layout, so..."
"But that's my bed...forget it."
With his fingers trembling in the air for a long time, Duan Qing finally gave up his plan to fight, and then waved his hands feebly, allowing those who opened the door without authorization to continue their installation work: "You are awesome, you are awesome …”
"Labour and management can't afford to offend...can't we just hide away?"
He picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water bitterly, then turned around and closed the door where his game cabin was located, isolating his troubles from the noise of the decoration.
