"Finally I found you, boss. This is what we need to purchase in the near future - boss?"
Standing in the middle of the camp where people were passing by, the figure of the bearded man who watched Duan Qing leave did not move for a long time. A player who had been looking around for a long time then hurried to him as if he had just discovered him.
Beside him, the voice he just wanted to report was interrupted by the other party's reaction at this time: "Boss, boss? Why are you so stunned?"
"I told you not to call me boss."
He replied in a low voice with a look of helplessness, but the smile on the smiling butcher's face did not diminish at all: "I'm not a boss. When did those people in the guild really listen to me?"
"They obviously didn't listen to you. In fact, they are still living in peace in this camp." The tone of the players who ran over became more matter-of-fact: "Everyone doesn't say anything, but in fact they all obey
You are the leader of this place, if you stand here and raise your arms, everyone will respond immediately."
"I'm old, I don't have that thought anymore." His shoulders drooped slightly with this sigh, and the smiling butcher's probing eyes were revealed in front of him again: "The world is now dominated by young people like you.
, I don’t have the ability to continue messing around in this world..."
"What are you looking at?"
He smiled nonchalantly. If the player who came over wanted to continue joking, he stopped for a moment as the bearded man's face became absorbed again. He once again confirmed that the man in front of him looked a little dull.
After a long while, he followed the other person's gaze and looked forward: "What happened to that guy just now?"
"...No, no, no, nothing." He waved his hand, and the smiling butcher suddenly woke up from his sluggish feeling: "I just asked him to go to the registration office and sign his name, it's no big deal."
"Registration office? Which 'very powerful' guy have you fallen in love with?" Then the player who belonged to the hermit camp also showed a look of contempt on his face: "Stop recruiting these useless people.
There is no shortage of handymen in our camp right now——"
"That's not called a handyman! That's called an almighty knowledge-based talent!" Waving his fist, the smiling butcher's originally angry expression changed to an excited one: "And you think that guy - those
Are the guys good?"
"Those of you who joined us from the beginning, even if ten of you are tied together, you're probably not as strong as anyone else."
The sound of shouting then sounded next to the two people parked in the center of the camp, and a convoy of three or two carriages slowly passed by on the road in front of them. The scene that completely cut off their vision also made them
They withdrew their gazes, and then the expressions on their faces returned to their original expressions: "What did you just say?"
"Ah, by the way, boss, these are the supplies we need to purchase in the near future. The bald brother said that our positions to the south need to be strengthened, otherwise they may not be able to withstand the next wave of Warcraft."
"Why do we need so many things? Are you going to move the entire Artisan Association to our house? We don't have such a big place, let alone that much money!"
"Then, what if--"
"When the next wave of monsters comes, why don't we just let the players who stay here attack us! Plus the members of our hermit camp, I don't believe we can't build a human wall! And don't call me boss again!
"
No longer hearing these noisy sounds, the gray-robed magician named Linyuan Duanshui had already passed through the roads between the camps that countless people had passed. Following the crowds and scrawled signs, he successfully followed
I finally found the registration office that the uncle mentioned before, and the wry smile that originally hung on my face slowly disappeared: "Well, it seems that we still have to take another route-please ask."
He struggled to squeeze through the crowd of players in front of him, and finally came to the counter with sweat on his head: "Where can I go to register?"
"Abide by the order." Sitting behind the reception desk, which was made up of a ceiling and simple tables and chairs, a player with arms folded and a calm expression was reminding Duan Qing as if nothing had happened: "I haven't seen so many people here.
Are you waiting here? You - eh? Do you want to register?"
"Yes, I heard that teams who want to work in this camp need to register first." Duan Qing's face once again showed the dry smile that ordinary players would use: "I see that these guys around are just looking at
If you don't take action, you don't know what they are waiting for, so I just squeeze over and ask, there is no other meaning..."
"They are looking at these mission information." After a big yawn, the player sitting behind the counter raised his finger and pointed at the small wooden signs with densely written small words hanging above his head: "Sorry, we don't have any here.
With all the advanced magic and neat equipment, if you want to release information in the camp, you can only use this primitive method, but this should not have anything to do with you now, because you are not yet a member of the hermit camp.
"
"There are many players waiting to take on these tasks. We can't just hand over these tasks to outsiders at will." He pointed at the faces of the players around him who were still frowning and thinking, and finally put his finger down again.
Duan Qing's face returned: "Don't look at it, it's none of your business."
"Then, then I -"
"These are the things you can choose."
Interrupting what Duan Qing was about to ask, the player then took out a huge cardboard box from under the counter. He casually patted the dust on it that seemed to have accumulated for a long time, then coughed with a look of disgust.
Said: "Ahem, that guy with the pockmarked face doesn't know how to clean... Hey, you."
"Up or down?"
He looked at Duan Qing's face with questioning eyes, and then sighed helplessly under the confused expression of the latter: "Do you still need me to explain? It's really troublesome."
"Hug, I'm sorry." So Duan Qing scratched his embarrassed smile hard: "I just came to this camp today, so-"
"You'll know by looking at your equipment." The receptionist waved his hand needlessly, lowered his head and searched for a while, then stuffed a pamphlet he pulled out into Duan Qing's arms: "
This is the manual, which was originally drawn up by the boss. Although it is not very strict, it is pretty good for understanding the rules of this camp."
"As for upper rank and lower rank - it's the distinction between tasks here." Shaking his head, he then explained in a low voice to Duan Qing, who was holding the manual: "We are not the Adventurers Association here, we won't
If you want to become a member of the hermit camp by randomly selecting membership trial tasks like they did, you must make corresponding contributions to this place."
"There are ten lower-level tasks. Once completed, you will be considered qualified." He pointed to the dusty contents in the cardboard box, with a strange smile on his face: "Cleaning, moving goods, digging trenches, cleaning
Wasteland—anyway, these are some odd jobs that ordinary guilds won’t do, so you just have to choose.”
"So, what about the higher-level mission?" He reached out to pick up a few dusty pages in the cardboard box in front of him, and the dry smile on Duan Qing's face became more obvious as the black line rose: "Higher-level mission"
How to calculate the task?"
"Only one high-level mission needs to be completed." He let out an incomprehensible sneer, and the player crossed his arms again and looked at Duan Qing's face: "But there are not many missions left, and the rest are some very difficult ones.
Are you sure you, a novice player, can complete this big mission?"
"I, I'm not alone." Duan Qing glared at himself: "I have four other teammates. Our Qingling Adventure Group is -"
"Five people? Hahahahaha!"
Before the gray-robed magician could finish what he said, the player burst into laughter amidst the laughter of the countless waiting crowds around him: "You only have five people in your team? A team of five people still wants to complete the mission? You know
Are these high-ranking missions that have been selected by others of any difficulty? Just the five of you want to complete them?"
"Not bad, not bad, you made me laugh for the whole day." It took him a long time to control his laughter, and at the same time he waved his hands vigorously towards Duan Qing: "Go back and find a place to practice, by the way.
Let’s recruit a few more people and come back.”
"Come on, at least let me take a look at the content of those tasks, okay?" Duan Qing hurriedly stopped the other party from waving his hand to drive him away, and said in a hurried voice: "Or you can give us a task first, and let us
It’s okay to give it a little try.”
"Huh?" Then the player's expression became impatient: "You are not willing to stop you and send yourself to death? Are you stupid? Do you have to put the failure cases of the previous guilds on your faces?
Are you going to give up? Why don’t you go out and ask about these stories yourself?”
"We don't want to cause such trouble, but your boss has to ask us to come over and take such a step." Duan Qing curled his lips and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the situation is here, but it actually happened.
Such a strange set of things came out..."
"What did you say?" The player squinted at Duan Qing's face: "Our boss asked you to come here? What is the relationship between our boss and you?"
"I don't know what the relationship is."
An unspeakable feeling flashed across Duan Qing's face. The gray-robed magician reached the peak of his acting skills by mumbling: "Anyway, Uncle Butcher asked us to come over and authenticate him first, and then we can start."
Help him with things – we don’t have much time to waste, so can’t we be accommodating?”
"Well..."
Looking at Duan Qing's face in front of him suspiciously, the player in charge of reception gradually narrowed his eyes on the other players behind Duan Qing: "The rules are the rules, even the boss is here and there is nothing you can do about it, but being accommodating...
…It’s not like there were no examples of accommodation in the past.”
"You can find a recommender."
He pinched his chin, and then cast his gaze on the heads of the guilds and adventure groups that were constantly coming and going: "There seemed to be a team in the past...what was it called? Anyway, they joined a group on the way.
The A-level team of the adventure group for the higher-level mission, and then worked together to complete that mission."
"Does it count if we finish it together?"
"Of course it doesn't count if we did it together."
Looking at the opponent's face with contempt, the receptionist curled his lips and replied: "The mission is someone else's mission, why should it be blamed on you? But I don't know if those people have a good relationship or if they really have a lot of problems.
For example, they were highly recommended by that A-level team."
"After most of the camp members, including the boss, agreed, they passed the certification."
Having said this, he spread his hands and pointed in another direction not far from the ceiling: "If you can follow the same method and complete this step-"
"Maybe you can also be 'recommended'."
*********************************
"Which great master is currently recruiting for high-level tasks?"
Following the direction indicated by the other party, he came to the recruitment area of the camp. Duan Qing, who had his hands in his pockets, became more and more stunned as the more crowded people appeared in front of him. He wiped hard
Those who had cold sweat on their foreheads because of the constant shouts of players in their ears, started their journey to join the team with a shy face: "Can you take me with you? A magician and an alchemist, thief."
"Newbie? No, no, no, just wait and see."
"Brother, please do me a favor. Brother, I'm new here. I want to join a team and see the world -"
"Do you have a fourth-level magician certificate? No? Do you have all the high-quality equipment for your whole body? Forget it, you don't have it when you look like this. No need to ask again."
"...Even if you all treat me as a novice, can't you show some sympathy?"
As if feeling the loneliness that only belongs to him from the crowds that kept passing by him, Duan Qing, who was ruthlessly rejected again, lowered his hands and sighed deeply: "Where have all the new and fine traditions gone?
?”
"Because they are all players in the Liberty City area." A calm voice then appeared in his ears, and the female-specific voice became less obvious in the noisy atmosphere: "Players near Liberty City
They are all known for their self-interest. Helping others will not only bring no benefits, but may actually harm yourself."
"Well, it really doesn't do them any good to bring a newbie for no reason." After gathering his emotions, Duan Qing turned around and looked at the woman who was gradually walking towards him: "Who are you?"
"I am the smiling cat." After looking up and down Duan Qing's face, the woman wearing light armor and holding a long sword diagonally smiled slightly: "I heard there is a newbie here who needs help.
.”
"So I came over."
