"No! We, Fu Feng, will never accept such a decision!"
Back in the middle of the raging floating island, the most intense group of people among the countless quarrels was attracting the attention of everyone around them. A swordsman player wearing carved leather armor and exuding an inexplicable aura was also at this time. Da patted his legs and stood up from the ground. He pointed an arrogant finger at the bearded boxer opposite: "We are only given a few hundred square meters of space in total? Do you know how many people we have in Fufeng? How can there be room for all of us?”
"A few hundred square meters of space is not just a flat space, you have to consider the three-dimensional position." Before the bearded boxer could reply, a certain red-armored Jianghu player holding a large stack of parchment rolls sneered and took pictures He patted the hilt of the sword on his waist: "The floating city will be a fortress standing in the sky in the future. By then, it will not only be two or three floors, but more than ten floors are possible, and this part of the space will also increase accordingly." More than ten times, isn’t it?”
"Don't do this! I heard the previous arguments between the guilds and you!" Turning a blind eye to the vague threat of force displayed by the red-armored men, the swordsman who argued earlier remained the same. He frowned and refused to back down: "Is the purchase and sale of space still something that you can have the final say on? You will definitely use various excuses such as 'no right to decide' and then let us go to the Lord of Violet to make a decision. ?Who can’t write a bad check?”
"Don't be excited, don't be excited. How can we, Jianghu, use this kind of back-and-forth tactics that only Wizard would use?" After stopping the red-armored player under his command who was still trying to show off his power, Duanshanyue smiled and teased himself. The beard said: "Don't worry, we have received a verbal promise: as long as they get the quota, all guilds can use the space they have at will, and how much they can use depends on their own abilities."
"As long as it doesn't affect other guilds around you."
Pointing to the space above the heads of several people, the boxer grinned wider and wider. At this time, purple lightning and cyclones also spread out around the floating island where they were, accompanied by the surge of intertwined energy. A vague cone-shaped cyclone gradually formed within their sight: "Look, such a vast sky... Our future stage is very big, don't be so stingy."
"That's not right! I have objections to the quotas that each company has received!" Shrinking his neck, the hesitant Fufeng player representative also retracted his gaze from the purple energy torrent in front of him: "Why do we get this?" You only have this little, but you have so many? How did you come up with this distribution standard?"
"Why is this such a boring question again? I'm already hearing calluses on my ears." Duan Shanyue scratched his head, suppressed his smile, rolled his eyes and made a gesture of picking out his ears: "Who made the contribution? Whoever is bigger gets the bigger share - this is the simplest rule since ancient times, why, is there any problem?"
"When did you contribute so much? Why didn't I see you?" Still not giving up his momentum at this time, the eyebrows of the representative player Fu Feng seemed to fly as he stretched his neck: "Because of the alliance's request. There are at least dozens of guilds here, and everyone has contributed, so why do you think you have contributed the most?"
"It seems that the so-called 'disputes between rivers and lakes' will never dissipate no matter where they are."
After sighing and saying this, Baibu Wushuang, who was standing in the corner and had been watching the debate, finally shook his head when he heard the sound: "As long as you are a human being, you must be an existence that will not be punished by heaven and earth for your own sake." , let alone such a huge alliance.”
"It seems that Duan Shanyue has also felt it. The guy in front of me won't give up until he finds out the trouble he wants to cause." Seeing the bearded boxer standing up with an unhappy look on his face, Duan Qing, who was also hidden in the crowd, crossed his arms and shook his head with a smile: "But this kind of thing that can involve all the guilds cannot be quelled by the fists of one or two of them. It seems that in the end... It’s time for Yushang to come forward.”
"Aren't you going to come forward?"
"Me? Who am I?"
Pointing to his nose, Duan Qing then turned the smile on his face into a wry smile: "Don't think of me as some god who can control the wind and rain, commanding all the guilds in an alliance and letting them follow a single line of operation. There are many, but it is definitely not this stupid way for me to stand up, not to mention that I am not here to watch a show."
"How about it? What did I just propose?"
It seemed that they had been talking here for a while. Duan Qing picked up a topic that had not been concluded between the two people before. The slightly pale archer player closed his eyes and shook his head. After a long while Then he said what he had already repeated: "I have already said that I am not that kind of person, and this job is not suitable for me."
"Hey, you have been in Lu Fen's caravan for so long, you must have accumulated a lot of experience, right?" Duan Qing continued to persuade with a look of helplessness: "And from the past cooperation between us, Look, you must be good at this kind of work... Is it because of the injury? We can wait until your character is healed."
"It's definitely not because of this body." Looking back at the other party with curled lips, Baibu Wushuang turned back disdainfully: "My pursuit is not here. I followed Qiao before - ahem, Lu Fen came. When I was in this grassland, I relied on my belief in 'getting stronger' to survive today, and I don't think my obsession can be changed easily."
"Then let's make a deal - you do things for me, and I'll help you become stronger." Duan Qing was silent for a while with his arms folded, and then he raised his head seriously: "Don't think I'm a has-been. Old player, I do have some experience in bows and arrows, I can definitely help you."
"I feel very honored to be guided by a legendary figure." This time it was Baibu Wushuang's turn to fall silent. After pondering for a long time, he finally shook his head: "But... I I’m afraid it’s still unacceptable.”
"oh?"
"Can the power gained through the help of others still be regarded as one's own power?"
Facing Duan Qing's playful look, Baibu Wushuang replied without hesitation: "I do want to become stronger, and I want to become stronger by my own strength, rather than relying on others' charity."
"So I've said that this is a deal, not a charity at all." Duan Qing replied with a wry smile: "I don't have any bargaining chips on hand. The only thing that can be called a bargaining chip is me. I originally thought that those skills and so-called guidance could not be exchanged for the sacrifices you made for it, but - whatever."
"Since you are unwilling to take this job, then I will find someone else."
Duan Qing, who touched his nose and turned around, seemed to be planning to leave. However, a young swordsman who was gradually approaching from a distance carrying a lot of packages suddenly appeared on the edge of the crowd. After a while, After searching for a long time, he ran to Baibu Wushuang: "Big, big brother! I found some medicinal herbs for you!"
"What's the use of just finding herbs? I'm not a pharmacist." A smile appeared on his face, and Bai Bu Wushuang replied helplessly: "And that's just a folk remedy I heard from somewhere. I'm not here either." If you need emergency help, don’t be so anxious to find these things for me.”
"Anyway, it's okay for me to be idle here. If I can help a little, I'll help you a little." The young swordsman who let out two silly laughs and unloaded his burden then scratched his head: "I also asked for I bought some ingredients and tried to practice my cooking skills for a while. I heard from people on the Internet that the cooking level in this world has amazing effects after being practiced, and it also has a great impact on combat-eh?"
"Yes, it's you."
It seemed that he had just noticed Duan Qing, who was about to disappear into the crowd, but at this moment he stopped where he was. The young swordsman who pointed at the package showed a bit more restraint in his happy expression: "Hello, Captain."
"I'm not the leader, Ling Bing is." Nodding his head with a smile on his face, Duan Qing replied in a gentle voice: "Why, have you been helping here during this time?"
"I, I don't mean anything else!" He hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head in denial. The young swordsman, who was afraid that the other party would misunderstand something, couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Baibu Wushuang beside him: "It's just that big brother Wushuang He has been taking care of me some time ago, and he was injured because of protecting me, so I think, I think..."
"I understand, I understand very much." He patted the other party's shoulder and the smile on the gray-robed magician's face became gentler as he came forward: "I have often felt this feeling of gratitude in the past. How could Baibu Wushuang, a young man who is willing to fight tooth and nail to protect each other, not be such a person?"
"However, this way of repaying gratitude is not a long-term solution." Facing the young swordsman's stunned and stunned expression, Duan Qing gently bent his waist: "I want to truly repay the love of my seniors. , the best way is to enhance your own strength. When you become a first-class master and can stand alone, you will no longer be held back in high-intensity and dangerous battles. Instead, you will become a powerful support for your predecessors - this That’s the right way.”
"Of course I understand this." He opened his eyes wide and shouted, and the light in the young swordsman's eyes dimmed again with his voice: "But, I have seen how powerful those masters are. , I, I really don’t have that ability——”
"Skills are acquired through practice, not born." Duan Qing, who stood up straight again and interrupted the other party's words, patted the other party's shoulder again: "I have also seen many players who are not talented players. People, they have developed extraordinary abilities through diligent study and practice. If you really think that you don’t have this talent, then use hard work and sweat to make up for it.”
"Of course, I won't let you put in your efforts without a clue." Duan Qing, who had his hands behind his hands, turned around in the lowered gaze of the nervous and gloomy young swordsman on the side: "I will give you some help and advice. Let you get twice the result with half the effort.”
Amidst the surprised and high-spirited response of the young swordsman, the gray-robed magician glanced at Baibu Wushuang, who was smiling bitterly next to him, and then left the place calmly amid the increasingly noisy chaos around him. . The surrounding discussions and disputes seemed to become louder and louder as time passed, and the atmosphere like a vegetable market gradually overshadowed everything happening in this small corner. Duan Qing, who was in front of me, then quickly returned to the storm shrouded in purple light as if he was trying to escape the noisy atmosphere: "You are using my people to sell other people's favors."
"We almost didn't sell it." As if there was no need to identify the person who came, Duan Qing returned to the busy state without even raising his head: "And helping one is also helping, and helping two is also helping. I It’s definitely possible to earn a little more.”
"You're ready, right?" Jian Beidong, who seemed to know what had just happened, jumped down from the rock on the side of Duan Qing and walked up to Duan Qing with a face on his face: "I told you this from the beginning. Something happened, but you didn’t agree to take action until now. Are you looking down on others?”
"Don't look at me like this, I'm very busy." The runes on his hand kept flashing with purple brilliance. Duan Qing ignored Jian Beidong's expression that was almost sticking to his face: "And I There are many students under me, and their qualifications are also different. It is very tiring to teach one by one with these inefficient lamps."
"You shameless guy, sooner or later I will chop you down again." After saying these words viciously, Jian Beidong finally stopped glaring at him: "If it weren't for the fact that I'm not a teacher. A piece of material, do I still need you to guide me?"
"Don't you still have your cheap master?" Duan Qing's busy spell-casting movements still did not stop: "This time, it should be about your master's affairs, right?"
"You still have some conscience and remember what happened to Laura." Jian Beidong, who leaned again between the boulders and ruins and folded his arms, replied feebly: "Although my master has lost most of his strength, , but her energy and physical strength have not been lost at all, and now she has begun to clamor for me to help extinguish her burning businessman soul - Hey, did you promise her something before?"
"There must be a place for her in the floating city, as long as she is willing." Duan Qing, who was concentrating on casting spells, nodded his head: "I originally wanted to announce this to the guild bosses who were having a heated discussion over there. The news is coming, but looking at how red-faced they are fighting for their three-thirds of an acre of land, it’s better to let the news go first.”
boom!
Jian Beidong, who was still waiting to speak, raised his head and looked with Duan Qing towards the far side of the camp where there was a sudden loud noise. The other end of the land, which was composed of floating planes, also showed a louder noise than before. An even more obvious commotion, together with some sounds of swords, rose up in the sky where purple light flashed.
