"Hey, our big hunter is back."
On January 13, 796 in the new calendar year of the free world, under the still busy and prosperous Shenshan Camp, a figure belonging to Baibu Wushuang also appeared outside the scope of the portal with a dusty appearance.
The other players who were hurriedly passing by asked each other: "How was today's harvest? Can we have a bonfire tonight?"
"I am not the only one supporting the hunting team. I can't decide whether the harvest is good or not." Pointing to the huge package behind him, Baibu Wushuang smiled meaninglessly: "After the sacred mountain was recovered, the beast tide also
It rarely appears anymore, and it is almost becoming a luxury to have meat on a large scale like before."
"That's right, now we are all yearning for the natural disasters that you and the warriors of the tribe have spread word of mouth, so that brothers can go out and stretch their muscles." Then the passing player laughed: "But this is okay,
There are many chambers of commerce in Liberty City who want to open up their own markets. If the food supplies here are sufficient, they probably won't be trying to come to us to make a lot of money."
"Only when there is a need will there be help, and the market will prosper." Baibu Wushuang also smiled and waved: "I have to thank you all for your efforts, otherwise we wouldn't have that much money to support the flow of goods here... yo
, isn’t this Uncle Dang? Why, are you going to continue exploring the H5 area today?”
Saying familiar greetings to countless people, the aloof and eccentric archer in the past seems to have become more and more sophisticated and smooth during this period of experience. In contrast, the young swordsman, who is much more introverted, still shrinks his head.
Following the other party, it was not until the countless passing crowds began to thin out that they gradually felt relieved: "——Hu."
"Have you really been the guild president before?" Baibu Wushuang, who seemed to have broken away from his previous state of constantly wandering among the major guild members, let out a long sigh and then looked back with a strange look on his face.
The face of the young swordsman: "You are so embarrassed to greet passers-by, how can you lead so many members and subordinates?"
"Of course, I was just playing for fun at that time. I didn't manage it very well." The young swordsman replied with a stuttering voice: "I'm not that kind of material. I don't have the character to convince others.
He didn’t have the strength to convince the public, so he collapsed later on.”
"The cause of the collapse is probably not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself for this." Baibu Wushuang, who was walking in front, responded with his lips raised: "But... forget it."
"You go back and rest first, Baozi."
After walking for a distance along the transparent steps extending outside the mountain, Baibu Wushuang stopped at one of the corners. While unloading the huge package behind him, he waved to the young swordsman behind him and said: "Today's
Just come here for practice, and if there is a chance in the future, I will take you for two more laps."
"Is Boss Wushuang also going to participate in the competition?" Without leaving behind the other party immediately, the young swordsman asked cautiously: "That is, the one held at Tania's place?"
"It doesn't count as being held. After all, it's just a 'continuation' of the previous one." Looking up at the blue sky, Baibu Wushuang also sighed: "I followed my master and the Lufen Chamber of Commerce here earlier.
The Continent of Wind was originally meant to hone myself, and now I finally have a chance to verify it."
"Then, I wish you immediate success." Then the young swordsman smiled and nodded: "Brother Wushuang is so strong, he will definitely be able to win every battle and prove his strength."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Quietly waiting for the footsteps behind him to leave, he sighed and lowered his head. He then dragged his package into the tent next to him and muttered to himself.
Then he started to look for something: "It is possible to win two casual games, but if we really compete with those rare masters, people of my level will probably be beaten to pieces... Hey! Is anyone there?"
"Hey, who is this?" Attracted by Baibu Wushuang's cry, a pretty girl with wheat-colored skin jumped out of the depths of the tent. She seemed to have been busy and wiped herself first.
There was sweat on his head, and then he pointed at Baibu Wushuang in front of him with a smile on his face: "Who is that, that...well, what is your name?"
"Baibu Wushuang." As if he had long been accustomed to the other party's reaction, Baibu Wushuang lowered his head expressionlessly: "Now he is probably an active member of the Shenshan Adventurers."
"Ah! No wonder Laura has an impression of you!" She clapped her hands and showed a look of realization, and then the wheat-colored girl also put on a brighter smile: "I think about it, I think about you, you are the one next to Lu Fen
Hunter! Why, did you come to Laura again today to exchange for something?"
"Thank you for your kindness, I have brought new 'currency'." After pouring out the contents of the dragged package, Baibu Wushuang nodded and replied: "The best beast pelts, and
The hard horns of the wild yak, the tusks of mammoths, the sharp teeth of the wind tiger... Ahem, the conditions we agreed on last time should still be valid now, right?"
"Of course it works." Walking to the things there with her hands behind her back, Laura Roland just glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, the quality is much better than last time - Laura
I'm very happy! There are some brand new products in the store, you can choose as you like!"
"About how many pieces of these can I exchange?"
"Probably... Hmm, Laura thinks we can exchange for three pieces. If it is a legendary quality item, it can only be counted as one... No, since you are an old customer and a member of Qingling, it can be counted.
You can take two."
"Thank you very much."
The long-term accumulation of reputation and experience in bargaining in the caravan allowed Baibu Wushuang to receive higher treatment, but he was obviously not satisfied enough: "But I heard-"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I heard that Xue Ling Huan Bing is training at your place."
Looking left and right unconsciously, Baibu Wushuang then touched his nose and asked tentatively: "And the training is under your guidance, right? I wonder if you still have room here?"
"Oh? You also want to be trained?" He tilted his head and looked at the other party. Laura Roland's bright smile also seemed a bit softer in the dim light of the tent: "This is really a surprising proposal.
Isn’t it possible that weapons and equipment of legendary quality can’t attract the attention of adventurers like you?”
"The only way to become stronger is by changing equipment. Skills and combat techniques are also very important." Baibu Wushuang nodded his head: "If I can learn a trick and a half from the head of the Roland family,
style, I believe its value must be much higher than ordinary weapons and equipment."
"Hmm."
After letting out a groan, the girl Laura's expression finally began to become awkward: "Laola, I am not stingy with my combat skills, but Laura, I don't have the ability to actually demonstrate or teach these skills now.
You can only understand it on your own."
"Xue Ling Huan Bing's comprehension is very high, that's why I made such a suggestion." With a serious expression, the wheat-colored girl looked back at Baibu Wushuang's face: "What are your qualifications and comprehension?"
Laura is still not sure whether this effect can be achieved."
"I am willing to pay the tuition of legendary equipment level in exchange for this opportunity to 'try'." Baibu Wushuang gritted his teeth: "If you want to go further and defeat those top-level opponents, I am afraid that it is impossible to just rely on the enhancement of equipment.
To achieve it, I have to try some other means."
"Yes, you still have a strong heart." Nodding with satisfaction, Laura Roland snapped her fingers at the other party: "Then the deal is established! You can report to the training ground! It just so happens that Xue Ling Huan Bing is here now
It’s also there, you can go together—”
"Teacher Laura!"
Before the girl's words and the joy on Baibu Wushuang's face could be fully revealed, a shout from outside the tent and the fiery figure of Qianzhihe crashed into the tent door curtain together: "I, I'm still here."
You’re not late, are you? I’m really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long—eh?”
"Why are you here?" She blinked her eyes and panted while leaning on her staff, then looked at Bai Bu Wushuang's figure with a strange expression on her face: "Are you here to learn from me too?"
"Speaking of which, I have indeed heard such rumors." Gently stroking his forehead, Baibu Wushuang sighed helplessly: "The Red Lotus Witch Qianzhihe wants to join the Qingling Adventure Group.
Not long after, I will officially compete for the Qingling Adventure Team on the field - why, you come here every day to look familiar?"
"Yes, yes, is it the same for you?" After looking up and down at Baibu Wushuang, the black lines on Qianzhihe's face also rose: "Hey, hey, I've spent a lot of effort,
It took me a long time to get Xue Ling Huan Bing to agree to my condition, how could it be so easy for someone else to pass it?"
"You and I are different. We are brothers from life to death. Even if I am not a formal member of the Qingling Adventure Group in name only, I am not much different from a formal member."
"What are you talking about? If you say that, I have known them earlier! They should have recognized my identity long ago!"
"Then who knows where you offended the leader? They won't let you in, so there's nothing I can do about it."
"I don't expect you to be able to do anything! What can an informal member do? What, am I wrong? Let's go to the Adventurers Association and look at the member list. Is your name on it?"
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise."
Stopping the quarrel that was about to begin between the two players in front of her, Laura Roland raised her hand high between the eyes of the two players who were blowing their beards and staring: "It's just a team quota for an adventure group, you still need it.
Is the fight like this? Is this kind of qualification worth thousands of gold? "
"Based on the current situation, Qingling Adventure Group does not seem to be planning to recruit members on a large scale like other guilds." Baibu Wushuang was the first to answer: "From the perspective of Linyuan Duanshui and Xueling Huanbing, they probably
They won’t recruit ordinary goods into their ranks at will.”
"Of course you and Qian Zhihe are not ordinary adventurers! Laura can prove this!" She put her hands on her hips with a confident look on her face, and then Laura waved to the two people present: "Don't worry! Just let me.
Laura is here to introduce you!”
"Although Laura, I am no longer powerful, I can still sell my face!"
*****************************************
"……no."
Some time later, in the corner of the temporary camp on the sacred mountain, the white-haired female swordsman, who was waiting there with her eyes closed and calm, replied with a firm voice: "I have already said it, if it doesn't work, it won't work."
"Hey——? You don't even want to sell Laura's face?" Behind them, Bai Bu Wushuang and Qian Zhihe looked at each other in confusion. Laura, who claimed to have a lot of face, was also acting like a coquettish girl.
Shaking the other party's arm: "Lola, you boasted so much in front of them! You actually refused so firmly!"
"I have always made a distinction between public and private affairs." A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Xue Ling Huan Bing turned to the other two people again and his eyes regained their original coldness: "By the way, why did you follow me here? You
Do you also want to join our adventure group?"
"I just came here to watch the fun." Taking a step back to distance himself, Baibu Wushuang replied with a wry smile: "Originally, I just wanted to learn a few tricks from Laura, but I never thought that after a lot of back and forth, it would turn into what I am now.
Looks like...ahem."
"If I really have the opportunity to become a member of Qingling, I will not refuse it. Anyway, it does not conflict with my status in the Lufen Chamber of Commerce." Clearing his throat slightly, Baibu Wushuang then had a look on his face.
He replied sternly: "So - can you tell me the reason for 'no'?"
"The Qingling Adventure Group will not develop into a large guild. This is a principle set when it was established." Putting down the bone sword that he had been holding flat in front of him, Xue Ling Huanbing replied in a calm voice.
: "Even if we go to participate in subsequent competitions, we will only maintain the size of a five-person team at most and will not continue to develop or expand."
"But counting you, Asahi Dongsheng, and Gedman, there are only four of us now!" Qianzhihe on the side shouted hurriedly: "Isn't there still one spot left! I, I, I, I think I am very suitable.
!”
"We already have a magician in our team. A team combination of two magicians - well, although it is not impossible, it is not yet within the range of our tactical considerations and choices." The smile on his face faded again.
Standing up, Xue Ling Huan Bing continued to answer with a straight face: "If there is really a team battle, we would rather add a physical remote output. From this point of view, Baibu Wushuang is better than you."
Suitable to be our candidate. And-"
"Didn't we agree before?"
She blinked her eyes at the angry Thousand-Fingered Crane.
"As long as you meet the conditions, I will naturally nod and agree."
