"Chenyu Waningyue of the Sword of Justice seems to be interested in making a deal..."
"Oh? Where did you get the news?"
"Don't forget that I am an active professional player, and transfer news like this... is a common occurrence in our circle."
"I see, but...according to the previous rumors, this news is not unexpected."
"The second-best coaching team in the world seems to have exposed the inside story, and several coaches started fighting with each other..."
"Isn't it common for them to fight between them? They would disagree for three days and then they would still be good friends after the fight..."
"...Are you familiar with them?"
"Not familiar, but someone seems to be familiar with them."
In the real world at night, Duan Qing, who was lying in front of his seat and scanning a page of paper, was chatting wordlessly with the woman opposite: "So I have heard a thing or two..."
"...It's just murmuring." The woman's voice deepened a little: "She is...with you now?"
"If you are referring to the free world, then yes." Duan Qing turned the page: "In order to complete Pamir's commission, we need some suitable identities. If I remember correctly... the principality issued her
His identity seems to be some kind of assistant to the special envoy?"
"..."
"Why, are there any other questions?"
"I said……"
Forcibly tugging at the corners of her mouth, the woman suppressed some petty emotions in her heart: "Have you finished reading?"
"Not yet, but I already understand the general situation."
Closing the page in his hand, Duan Qing sighed slowly: "This contract...people who don't understand it think they want to sell me to you."
"I just think that the services between us should be balanced with each other." The woman smiled and raised her hand: "I provide you with accommodation and conditions, and you provide corresponding labor and training... It seems very balanced, doesn't it?
"
"It seems... yes." Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and replied: "But what about the housework including cooking? Am I, a renter, responsible for your food and daily life?"
"Considering your personal assets, it may be difficult for you to pay the price of this house." The woman pulled her long hair behind her: "You are allowed to use labor as compensation.
But this is the idea I came up with for you out of kindness."
"Show kindness? Are you sure?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "Isn't this an excuse for you to recruit a free nanny?"
"At least you can have a proper job instead of playing games at home every day." The woman shook her eyes and replied: "More importantly... I can't cook."
"Pfft..." Then the veins on Duan Qing's forehead turned into cold sweat: "If you can say this reason so justly... I think you win this battle."
"I don't have much hope for you, as long as you can eat it."
Turning his head and looking in the direction of the kitchen, Chu Lingbing said with a smile: "As for cleaning and daily life purchases... Since I am not familiar with Area D, it is obviously better to leave it to you. Of course, these
The labor service will have its own value and will be deducted from your rent in the end, so you can rest assured that all the labor will not be in vain."
"I'm afraid it's too much, and I will suffer in the end." Duan Qing patted the paper in his hand: "It also includes your training fees and teaching fees... It's not worth the rent anyway, right?"
"About this...I forgot to tell you."
The woman's smile became even brighter: "The rent... has increased."
"...What? Eight thousand yuan increased to sixteen thousand?"
Duan Qing, who glanced at a certain number, was stunned, then grabbed the page and jumped up: "You said the price should be increased? Just double it? Is there any other way?"
"This is my home now, and of course I have the final say." The woman replied with a smile: "What's more, having a beauty like me accompany you...isn't it worth the price?"
"Beauty... you have to live to enjoy it." Duan Qing gritted his teeth and said: "If you like it so much and are unreasonable... Even if there is still one month of rent, I have to do it for my own dignity...
"
"Oh? Have you thought about it?"
"Well……"
Looking at the rooms that had been sealed tightly by iron doors, Duan Qing retracted his words as if his throat was being pinched, and his eyes returned to the woman again: "Let me, think about it again.
one time……"
"Except for the game cabin you 'earned' yourself, what thing here doesn't have this value?" The woman swaying like a successful witch put up an arm and hid her curved eyebrows under the white jade
Behind the finger: "Besides...it's not like you are actually asked to pay the rent, so what are you worried about?"
"...You're not avenging your personal revenge, are you?" Duan Qing let out a long breath.
"Now that I have found you, I naturally have to settle things." The woman smiled and tilted her head: "So... so what?"
"……you are vicious."
Putting down the paper in his hand, Duan Qing looked at the other party steadily for a while: "Anyway, you are sure that I have nowhere to go, right?"
"..."
"I in the game... can't let you go, right?"
"..."
"Okay, okay, I'll sign, I'll sign."
Facing the woman's eyes that seemed to have no change, Duan Qing sighed and grabbed the pen next to him: "It doesn't cost money anyway, it's just like working in vain. In the future, maybe someone will stay enough and take the clean pen."
Give me life back..."
"Didn't you just send away a little girl?" The woman responded in a low voice: "I was worried that you would be lonely."
"Loneliness is a good thing for everyone."
Duan Qing signed his name loudly and waved his hand towards the other side of the table: "At least that's the case for me, although... it's unlikely now."
"I'm looking forward to your performance." The woman looked at the page, then nodded with satisfaction: "In...the long time to come."
"……Wait a moment."
As if he suddenly remembered something, Duan Qing stood up suddenly and snatched the piece of paper back: "Your contract... didn't specify the lease period?"
"I thought you would care about this." The woman smiled and spread her hands: "But now...it seems to be too late."
"You...you!" Duan Qing's fingers trembled: "Do you want me to be a nanny here for the rest of my life?"
"What, you're not happy?" The woman smiled and leaned her back on the sofa, then gestured to the corner of the room: "If you're not happy, you can explain it to me at any time. As for whether I will listen...then no
That’s for sure.”
"Now, let's make a decent dinner." The woman held up the tea cup in front of her: "Just think of it as..."
"Your probation period is over."
************************
Naturally, the so-called dinner could not fulfill Chu Lingbing's wish, because no one can cook a good meal when they are short of ingredients and mood. In order to prove the progress of his new job, Duan Qing went out for a walk.
After a lap, he braved the deep and quiet night and ran back with empty hands. The woman who seemed to know the result had already disappeared into the living room of the room, as if she didn't care about Duan Qing's "purchase" operation.
He had no expectations, but Duan Qing, who knew where she was, could guess what the woman wanted to do now.
Therefore, he immediately logged into the game.
"Your convenience...seems a bit long."
The familiar yet unfamiliar night gradually appeared at the end of his sight. The dissipated smoke and the low hum of summer insects also began to appear sparsely around him. In the quiet air, a familiar voice also sounded to him.
In the ear: "Jason has come here to ask questions several times. If you don't show up... I'm afraid he will send troops to search for your whereabouts."
"...With just those few of his men, even if something happens, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a single hair."
Looking back at Xu Yu's wet face, Duan Qing began to walk towards the checkpoint: "I hope they won't be so excited anymore. If they spread their panic... it will be difficult to explain over there."
"There has been such a big noise, so those envoys must have known about it for a long time."
The blue-haired woman walked back and put away the long sword in her hand: "Before setting off tomorrow, you have to think about how to deal with them."
"Are you still trying to be perfunctory? Just tell the truth."
Duan Qing pointed to the tents that had risen outside the pass at this time: "By the way, I would like to brag about the achievements of a group of adventurers and improve everyone's status. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
The two people greeted the guards guarding the city, passed through the still closed city gate, and then saw the resurrected Black Corn and a group of his teammates in the open space between the outer city and the inner city. It seemed that they were affected by
After the fatigue and fright of the battle, several players who had been together for a long time had begun to enter the rhythm of rest. However, the warrior who had been restless holding the sword seemed to have no intention of resting: "Ah...
You're back!"
"Why are you still here?" Duan Qing frowned: "I thought you had run away."
"I-how did we perform?"
Ignoring the teasing meaning in the other party's words, Black Corn put on a proud posture: "Not to mention the results of the battle, at least the momentum is not inferior, right? Xiaoyu also killed an enemy and got a head...
"
"...By the way, are there no rewards for this battle?" Duan Qing turned to ask Ningyu Ninglan, who was kneeling next to the fire: "For example, heads in exchange for medals..."
"Kalong Pass does not have such great authority." Encrypted Ninglan shook her head and replied: "The principality only regards this battle as an encounter, and there is no excessive expression... There are players who go to the battlefield.
When I was cleaning up, I picked up some good equipment, both in quality and special effects..."
"I'm afraid they are not all products of the furnace, that's why there is such a good harvest." Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and replied: "As for the news... it should at least be reported to Tania and tell them about the mysterious man in black or the restorer.
Rise and stuff like that..."
"Some players have already posted this battle on the forum." Ciyu Ninglan replied in a low voice: "Someone from Tania's side should report the news soon. I believe that in the near future... the principality will have something to do.
react."
"I hope this reaction will not be too late." Duan Qing sighed in a low voice: "Since they dare to attack Kalon Pass, maybe the land in the south has completely fallen into their hands. If the princess of Xifeng County heard this, she would say
You might even faint from anger..."
"...Do we need to go south and take a look?"
"...No need."
Looking at Black Corn who was still looking forward to the opposite side, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "We'd better follow our own plan. Anyway, there are just a few of us and we can't do anything big... Hey, that's all you guys do.
Do you want to hang out with us?"
"Yes, yes." Black Corn nodded hurriedly: "How about it? Didn't you say give us a chance? Are we... are we qualified?"
"Okay?"
Duan Qing could only smile and nodded: "As long as you listen to the command, you will pass the first level, and the remaining problems will be..."
"How many people do you have? What is your professional composition? What is your level? Are you successful..."
"There are four of us! A warrior, a shield bearer, a thief and a mage. I am the warrior, and Xiao Yu is the shield bearer. I can parry, block, blitz, and move... The thieves are also very strong. They can run wildly and stab each other with fatal blows.
Their proficiency and awareness of equipment techniques are top-notch! A mage, a mage..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party: "Don't fool me with your tricks, who can't brag...Have you participated in the previous League Cup? How many places did you win?
?”
"Well, maybe the first tens of thousands are considered..."
"..."
"But, but that was our previous results! We later recruited several strong newcomers with the right age and unlimited potential. The atmosphere in the meeting was good, the team was harmonious, and the equipment distribution was fair and reasonable. They are simply your best choice.
...Uh, no, why did I read out the recruitment lines..."
"ok, ok, I got it."
Stopping his uncontrollable laughter and the black lines on his head, Duan Qing glanced at the two teammates next to him to exchange opinions: "Anyway, we will go to the City of Freedom, and it will only take two or three days at most. Once we get there,
We probably don’t have much time to care about you..."
"Just follow us." He nodded: "Just don't cause trouble for us."
"Do I need to reserve a few spots for them?"
In the scene where a certain soldier was yelling and jumping towards the tent, Huiyu Liushang, who was standing behind Duan Qing, asked in a low voice: "Our Fool's Adventure Group... doesn't even have ten people now."
"Inviting people to join the club without their consent..." Duan Qing walked towards the direction of the motorcade with an expressionless face: "Xiao Mengzhu will strangle me to death."
"Huhehehe... Okay." So he mumbled and covered his mouth: "Then... what's next? Are you really not going to care about those restorationists?"
"Even if we want to take care of them, those two envoys will not stay here." Duan Qing replied helplessly: "For their safety... it is better for us to follow them."
"Then...leave out early tomorrow morning?"
"I guess so."
Duan Qing said without looking back: "But...it's okay to wait."
"...What are you waiting for?" the blue-haired woman asked.
"Waiting for someone...probably."
The man replied with a straight face.
