"I know you have never given up the idea of returning."
Looking at Uncle Smiling's silent face, Duan Qing's voice also became lower: "In fact, everyone who has ever struggled in the professional circle will have such thoughts, and they will always praise themselves in front of others. Career history, showing off how many rankings they have won, how many well-known figures they have defeated, how many well-known battles they have fought... Watching the new forces passing by one after another, they are always the same. Face stood in their way unwilling to admit defeat, and then fell back again and again due to his own operations and reactions that had become slow due to his old age."
"Look at Han Sanshi in Lanshan, you will know their fate." Amid the increasingly fierce noise outside the tent, Duan Qing sighed and lowered his head: "And you... are already the oldest I have ever seen. Professionally, he is a relatively low-key person."
"...Don't put such a label on me casually."
The smiling butcher closed his eyes, and after a while he responded: "My career ended a long time ago. Now I am just an ordinary father who idles at home every day. The guilds and teams before are almost gone now." It has nothing to do with me..."
"Yeah?"
Looking at the calm face of the other party, Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "I have heard them describe the battle on the night of the 23rd. When Jason died... your performance was also remarkable. I ordered it.”
"..."
"Being able to cooperate with Jian Beidong's actions and withstand the attack of a great wind magician for a long period of time... Even in the professional circle, few people can do it at will." Duan Qing He said to himself: "The lost dream that you sent before also had many shocking performances in the Throne War. Now that I think about it... there should be elements of your teachings in it, right?"
"The bald knight's ability is the result of his own training." The smiling butcher replied in a low voice: "I just mentioned a few words from it, nothing else."
"That kind of instant timing and precise blocking skills are not something ordinary players can possess." Duan Qing grinned: "I have to remind you...if Han Sanshi meets him, maybe We have poached him long ago.”
"Ichifu Dangguan Han Sanshi is the idol of all shield warriors, and it is normal for him to be poached." The smiling butcher still shook his head: "Those of us who play shield, there is no one who has not heard of his deeds. "
"So you also want to reach his level, right?" Duan Qing encouraged him at the right time: "Although the possibility is slim, Han Sanshi has not retired even though he is so old. As an uncle... maybe you can too. Can you make a name for yourself?"
"..."
"I don't know what your original name was, and I don't know what your original grades were."
Duan Qing calmly withdrew his smile, and stood up from his position: "But Han Lei has already revealed the idea of retiring, and maybe he will not participate in the next qualifiers. He wants to show off... …This is the best time.”
"...I just want to take good care of myself now."
The eyes of each other met in the air for a while, and the smiling butcher finally withdrew his twinkling gaze: "Although I don't know what your thoughts are, but we are just a group of ordinary people with little ability now, whether it is me or Lost Dreams None of them have any desire to participate in professional competitions now..."
"Just think of it as preparation in advance."
Interrupting the other party's words lightly, Duan Qing turned and looked outside the tent: "If there is no big problem, I will organize some people to participate in the next game, which is the official qualifying match for the UEFA Cup. If you are lucky... ...Maybe you can get a few of them to qualify for the next UEFA Cup. If you really don’t want to participate, I won’t force it on you, but your skills are almost the same as your experience in participating in the war. Can you share a few with us?"
"...Are you sure you need such a thing?" The smiling butcher looked at Duan Qing's side face with a strange expression: "Judging from a series of performances since leaving Novice Village, you should be the person who least needs this experience. …”
"But I'm busy."
Pointing to the increasingly enthusiastic crowd outside the square, Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Why do you think I suddenly recruited people? Is it to solve the problems we need to face next? We will wait for this matter. I'll leave the rest to you..."
"It's up to you how you want to solve it." He said calmly: "The final reward and wealth... will all belong to you."
"……Really?"
The smiling butcher finally showed an expression of disbelief: "That is a new continent, and it may represent the birth of a new expansion pack. There is nothing more attractive than this. You actually... actually..."
"You actually want to leave here?"
"I said I have more important things to do."
Waving his hands to make a calm expression, Duan Qing replied in a slow voice: "I will hand over all the agency rights of the Fool's Adventure Group in the City of Freedom to you, as well as those assigned to us by the Oxon Chamber of Commerce. You can also dispose of those equipment and gold coins as you wish. I will find you some more reliable manpower to help you maintain the rules I just spread. When my secular duties are over... your development here may be It will be a great help to our guild.”
"...Guild?" The smiling butcher showed a strange expression: "Isn't this title inoperable?"
"It's okay to call it a guild, as long as you understand it."
Duan Qing shook his head casually, then raised a few of his fingers: "Lost dreams, braised crabs, wind blowing wheat waves, Liu Qingniu, well... because of his relationship, Dongcheng Club should be a big help to us. , and Teacher Zhou Xue and his group should be in the same situation now. It turns out that he also has a group in this city, called metaphysics or something like that, but because of the love and hatred in the Free City, they They've already dispersed. I'll go talk to them and I should be able to get some people to come up for you, and then together with Black Corn and the others who came with us, maybe I'll have some time to spare now..."
"You have the most seniority and have management experience in a large guild. It should be the most suitable for you to take the lead in this matter." Duan Qing said this and turned around with a smile: "According to the customs of the Free City... …Should I call you Butcher Boss?”
"It sounds a bit stupid." The smiling butcher sat back with a wry smile: "Can someone else do it?"
"If you really can't handle it, you can find some people to help. As far as I know... Jian Beidong probably won't leave."
Looking at the black-clothed swordsman who was forced to come to the tent by him before and who was sitting in the corner with an unhappy look on his face, Duan Qing put away his smile and said, "There is also the one who owns the throne. A group of people, the second best temporary allies in the world... These local forces will be your friends in the future. Accepting their gifts easily may bring you some benefits, but it will also bring more troubles. How? Making a choice among these people... having been in the professional world for so many years, you should know it very well, right?"
"...Do I have such a big reputation?" The smiling butcher pointed at his face: "Those big shots who I couldn't even meet before...will they listen to me?"
"I will talk about it." Duan Qing responded with a smile: "Don't worry."
"...It's really strange."
Once again looking at the other party steadily for a long time, the smiling uncle finally put down his suspicious expression: "I have been in the gaming industry for so many years, and I have heard countless solicitations that are more attractive than what you just said, but I don't know why. …I have a feeling I can trust you.”
"Please, we are comrades who have been working together for such a long time." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "We have come here together, what else can't you believe?"
"You are very capable and always give people the impression that you can solve everything." The smiling butcher shook his head again: "But the longer I get along with you, the more mysteries emerge from you. It’s getting more and more…”
"How can there be so many mysteries?" Duan Qing asked with a chuckle: "Am I so elusive?"
"Of course, like what happened this time."
Pointing to the city that was still in a state of reconstruction, Uncle Smiling whispered: "In the battle a few days ago, I and several other people still haven't figured out what the final process was like, although it was related to my high concentration of energy. There is a certain relationship, but those strange scenes... have always stayed in my mind afterwards."
"That electric ball... flew into the sky inexplicably, and Jason should be really dead." The smiling butcher waved his arm: "Do you... know something?"
"..."
Avoiding the other party's gaze, Duan Qing scratched his nose. The words he was about to say were interrupted by a huge sound, and the sound of magic and swords colliding from far to near. , then kept ringing in the back of the square, and then accompanied by the sight of countless players flying into the sky, advancing towards the direction of the temporary tent: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"What are you all doing here?"
"Didn't you see our sergeant? Who dares to block the way!"
"Is there someone gathering to make trouble here? Do you know whose territory this is?"
The sound of swords clashing was mixed with occasional explosions, and then the crowd of onlookers gathered in front of Duan Qing was completely dispersed. A group of weirdly dressed gangster players then appeared in the distance of the gap in that direction, cursing at Duan Qing. Qing came over. A few passers-by who sensed something was wrong hurriedly pulled their teammates back, and acted as background actors with the busybodies around them. The players who walked to the center of the line of sight seemed to have long been accustomed to this result, and they were arrogant. His expression never dropped: "Let me see...ha, who was so bold? It turns out to be you guys?"
"Sergeant Balala?" The smiling butcher was stunned for a moment: "What are you here for?"
"What am I here for? Humph!"
The leading player laughed cruelly and slapped the big sword in his hand heavily on the rope on the edge of the tent: "Do you still need to ask? Of course we are here to clear the place!"
"This is the territory of our Aoki Adventure Group! What do you guys mean?" Another player standing behind him raised his nose to the sky: "Not only are you causing trouble here, but you are also openly robbing people? Don't you know that we Are there any rules here?"
"Forgive me for being stupid, but I have never heard of any rules for recruiting people." Duan Qing, who was in the back, shrugged helplessly: "To recruit someone in the square...do you need someone's permission?"
"Nonsense! You don't know... Huh?"
The leading man with a big sword kicked over the wooden table that was temporarily used as a front. He wanted to continue to stir up trouble but suddenly stopped: "..."
"It turns out...it's you."
His eyes stayed on Duan Qing's face for a while, and then his reminiscing eyes moved to the smiling uncle's head: "You... are in the same group?"
"What, is there a problem?"
"You are the one who has been in Friedham Stone Forest, trying to establish your own business, right?"
Amid the sounds of smashing and smashing all around, Sergeant Balala pointed his finger at the smiling uncle's chest: "Have you found a backer, so you want to march into the city?"
"...We have always been at peace with the Aoki Adventure Group."
Seemingly noticing Duan Qing's expectant gaze behind him, the smiling butcher immediately assumed a negotiating attitude: "When we were at the camp in Stone Forest before, we never caused any trouble to any of the passing guilds. Now that I come to the city to develop, I just want to work with everyone to benefit and win-win."
"Fuck you X's mutual benefit and win-win situation, do you think we grew up honestly?" A player from Aoki on the other side shouted again: "If we come a little later, everyone in the city will be fooled by you Run away!"
"If it's as exaggerated as what you said, why am I still here talking nonsense to you?" Duan Qing lowered his head in amusement: "Although I think this current development is just a waste of time..."
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do..."
Facing the smiling uncle's questioning and Duan Qing's weird smile, Sergeant Balala frowned. After a while, he raised his sword and pointed towards Duan Qing's nose: "Settlement!"
"The last time we met was by chance, and the last time it was Teacher Zhou Xue... Your Aoki Adventure Group owes a lot of debts on the territory of Liberty City, right?"
"Don't think that after what happened last time, we will be afraid of you. This time we brought more than 300 people with us, and there are countless of our brothers outside..."
As if aware of the murderous intent, the seabirds living around the square flew up into the clear sky. They made a pleasant chirp in the air, and then looked at the countless players who raised their swords with their own eyes: " Copy guy!"
"Cut them!"
