"I said...did something big happen over there in Xicheng District?"
A few minutes ago, in the abandoned streets on the edge of Freedom City, several players who seemed to have just rushed back to the city were gathering in a temporarily cleared abandoned house, talking one after another: "I have been killing people since just now.
Non-stop..."
"Those guilds must be fighting again." Another player who was carrying something on the side replied nonchalantly: "Just like what we did before, they would grab territory whenever they disagree..."
"The area on Ivan Street has never been peaceful since the player arrived in Liberty City."
A player who was wiping the dilapidated wooden table heard the sound and responded, but the hands responsible for cleaning the place never stopped: "I don't know what is good about that place. We little players with no strength... are really messed up.
I won’t come down.”
"It is said that it is because that place is relatively close to the city lord's palace, and it is also the center of the city." The player who looked outside the house at first replied in a low voice: "It is also between the Central Bridge and the harbor terminal, and it is more convenient to go to either side.
, if we capture that place... even if we collect tolls, we can feed a large number of people."
"You're all talking nonsense, how could it be for such a reason?"
The player who had moved another box of things gasped and dropped the wooden box in his hand, and said mercilessly: "Either someone has given instructions, or there are some hidden elements, otherwise that person has no profit and is full of NPC forces.
How could so many people rob the place?"
"You mean...the legendary secret of Freedom City? The same kind as Tania City?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Those are just rumors."
The player squatting on the ground rummaged in the wooden box for a while, and then took out a bottle of wine: "Even if it's that furnace thing, I still don't believe it... Wow, there's actually a bottle of tequila
, we are blessed this time."
"After a day's work, we finally got this pile of stuff." The player who finished clearing the table frowned, then sat across from the wooden table: "These days are getting harder and harder."
"No way, that's what casual players are like."
He moved the few small benches he found before to the side of the wooden table, and the person who spoke at the beginning also sat down: "Without the help of relatives and friends and the support of the guild, I want to go back to the past and make money and equipment with peace of mind.
It is definitely impossible to live a life like this. How does that sentence come from... It is difficult to move from luxury to frugality, and it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality."
"Oh, it's all my fault. Why did we grab the pier when we had nothing to do..."
"There is no way, the guild always needs to develop, we can't just waste it..."
"No one means to blame you. Anyway, the matter is over."
"Yeah, forget about those 'glorious' pasts. What we need to do now...is to enjoy the present."
The player who put everything in the wooden box on the table finally took out a large portion of roast suckling pig and placed it in the center of the table with a bang: "Come, live one day at a time, tomorrow's meal money...
...Brothers, let’s talk tomorrow!”
"It's okay to not open any pot or lift it. Enjoy the moment you enjoy. Since we have turned a fantasy adventure game into a survival game, we must cherish this good time at night..."
"By the way, do you want to study cooking skills? Aren't there a lot of methods spread on the Internet?" The player who found a few broken wine glasses began to pour wine for the three of them: "If we can also solve the ration problem ourselves... say
Maybe things will be better in the future?”
"That's easy to say, why don't you go and give it a try? Let alone cooking, the roasted suckling pig in front of you... I guess it has become charcoal for you."
"Wu Er, isn't that guy very perceptive? If..."
"Forget about that young man, that guy heard that there are many powerful guilds outside the city, so he went to try his luck..."
"..."
"Okay, okay, let's not mention it anymore. Let's get started quickly. If we continue, the barbecue will be cold...for the sake of tonight's wine!"
"For the beauty of tonight..."
A golden light suddenly lit up behind several players who raised their wine glasses, illuminating the sky above Liberty City for a moment. In the vision of several players who suddenly turned back, a small black dot penetrated the black clouds.
The golden rays gradually magnified in the sky as the background, and flew towards the direction where they were. A deafening sound immediately sounded in their ears, and with the fall of a figure falling from the sky, the other side of the street filled with the atmosphere of decay was
A deep hole was created on the side, and with the sound of debris and rubble falling, several players nearby quickly dropped the wine glasses in their hands, then picked up their weapons and pointed towards the outside of the street.
He ran out in the dark night - because the light beam slanting into the clouds had not disappeared yet, the nearby blocks temporarily became much clearer, and a man covered in blood stretched out his hands with difficulty, and from
He crawled out of the rubble that he had just smashed down: "Ouch, oh, oh..."
"Really, I haven't been this miserable for a long time..."
Covering his bleeding shoulder, Duan Qing took a few deep breaths. While moving his body, he checked the state of his body: "The burning effect, the puncture effect, and the bleeding effect...
Wow, even more than half of the physical strength bar has been sealed. Who is that big man in armor? Is he the grandson of the Sun God?"
"If this continues, labor and management will really bleed to death... huh?"
"that……"
"..."
On the dim street that became silent again, three staring players slowly walked up to him. While carefully raising their weapons, they stretched their heads and looked at Duan Qing's head: "That...need
Any help?"
"...Is there any medicine to stop bleeding?" Duan Qing, who looked at each other for a while, blinked, and finally said: "A bandage is enough, now I only have a bloody skin..."
"Ah, no problem, no problem."
It seemed that the identity of the opponent's player was finally determined. The three players standing on the street exhaled. One of the players also showed a relieved smile, and then squatted next to Duan Qing: "Your
Where is the wound, do you only need to treat the bleeding? We don’t have high-end magic potions, but the herbal medicines from Visage Pharmacy are also very effective... Well, this is for external application, just apply it on the wound."
"……Thanks."
Hesitantly taking the thing from the opponent's hand, Duan Qing, who was feeling dark, finally pulled open the silver armor with a hole in it: "The durability has dropped a bit, I hope it didn't damage the special effects..."
"You...where did you come from? How could you..."
The other two people also walked to Duan Qing's side, first looked at his wounds, and then looked up at the sky which had returned to its original state: "Why did it fall from the sky?"
"Well..."
Duan Qing hesitated for a while, but finally grinned because of the effect of the herb: "I provoked a few people who shouldn't be provoked, so I was chased by them until now. If it weren't for the fact that I had learned some unique skills, maybe this
He really died once... Well, if something unfortunate happens, I don't know where I will return after being resurrected. The previous tavern should have been recorded, right?"
"What tavern?"
"It seems to be called... Rast Tavern, right? The boss... uh no, the lady boss is a very unique person..."
"Brother...are you from the Red Lotus Gang?"
"……ah?"
"That tavern should be the territory of the Red Lotus Gang, right?"
The person who was speaking looked back at the companion next to him: "We have also investigated the situation over there before, although we don't know whether it is still like that now..."
"No, no, you have misunderstood. I am a newcomer who has just arrived in this city." Duan Qing hurriedly explained: "I just went to that tavern today. I don't know what you call the Red Lotus Gang..."
"Newcomer?"
The three players looking at each other seemed to be even more surprised: "There was such a big noise just after arriving at this place, brother, it's okay! The movement on Ivan Street...could it be your work too?
"
"Yes, such a large-scale gang war has not happened in Liberty City for a long time..."
"Brother, you must be a very powerful player, right? Is it the vest of a certain professional player?"
"Uh...ah hahaha, didn't you almost die?"
Turning the ring on his hand, Duan Qingqiang, who was sweating profusely, smiled and replied: "Attributes and skills are not worth mentioning, it's just equipment..."
"It's just a little better."
[Ring of the Mage Council (Epic)]
[Defense ability: none]
[Equipment requirements: None]
[Intelligence +2, Spirit +2]
[Attached skills: Magic Illusion, use the water magic energy contained in the ring to create an illusion of an object, which lasts for three seconds and disappears after touching any object. Cooling time: 60 hours]

[A ring awarded by the Wizards’ Council to adventurers from the Free Continent to prove their contribution to the Wizards’ Council and the free world. Exquisite silver threads outline a complex flower-like pattern on the surface of the ring. The four petals of the flower are said to be magic.
The emblem of the four elements.]
[This ring seems to have been blessed and improved by the great magician. It has been injected with two original energies of water and wind. Therefore, it can burst out unimaginable powerful abilities under the same appearance as other council rings.
.]
Duan Qing has been thinking about how to deal with the Stone of Wind given to Duan Qing by Christine for a long time. Although the best way is to give the stone to the magician in the team, but
There was no one among them who was good at using wind element magic, and no one found any signs of the awakening of the wind element. So on the way to the Free City, after much thought, he finally decided to use this land with the affinity attribute of the wind element.
He used the stone himself, and then injected the pure wind-attribute magic energy into the ring on his right hand.
Unexpectedly, the skill derived from this actually saved his life tonight.
"Are you players nearby?" He looked around and quietly put away these thoughts: "How did you happen to appear here?"
"This is an abandoned street. Usually no one comes here." The leader of the three people opposite seemed to have noticed Duan Qing's thoughts, so he picked up his topic: "Those things that are inconvenient to be solved outside the city."
Things...are usually settled here."
"...There won't be corpses all over the ground here, right?" Duan Qing pressed his wound and shrank his neck: "It's really scary..."
"It's not that exaggerated, but there must be some." Another player waved his hand to the surroundings: "Some people also like to come here to scavenge, and they might be able to gain something, but there is no obvious way to get it.
Fast, so it gradually declined... We are all idle players, and we usually don’t have anywhere to go at night, so we usually find these uninhabited places as our own rest areas temporarily. "
"Except for players who are also savages, generally no one comes here at this time." He smiled at Duan Qing: "There are so many places here, even if someone else comes... there is not enough room to live.
There are so many."
"It's a place similar to a slum... right?" Duan Qing sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a place in the Free City."
"It's not very accurate, but it's almost the same." The person who spoke at the beginning spread his hands and said: "As players, we never care about living conditions or anything like that. Those guys who work hard in the inner city will only be able to find a job in the end.
Is this bar surviving? Throw away those tasks and commissions, the rest is pretty much the same as us..."
"The most important thing is that you have to kill again and again, and you will become a fool." The third player said disdainfully: "I think those people are mentally abnormal. They are either warlike and bloodthirsty, or they seek to benefit themselves at the expense of others.
For fun! The guys who stay there for a long time are all loyal supporters of lawlessness. For that one-third of an acre of land, let alone teammates... I'm afraid even my parents can sell it to you!"
"Xiao Tian!"
"Why, we are not the same kind of people as them, why can't we say this?"
The player looked indifferent, and then waved to Duan Qing: "You can't learn from the new guys. If you really can't accept it... it's better to leave the city as soon as possible. Those guys still have freedom.
The NPCs in the city are all cannibals. If you deal with them, you will either be eaten by them or become cannibals... Oops, I'm getting hungry after talking about it. Come on, come on, do you want it?
Do you want to eat with us? You need to recover your strength. Anyway, we are short of one person, and we will definitely not be able to eat all the roasted suckling pig..."
"Roast, roast suckling pig?"
"We got it from a tavern in Beicheng District."
From the back of the man who was drifting away, the leading player smiled at Duan Qing, and in his reply, he seemed to have given up the idea of persuading his teammates: "He is right, and we are indeed.
I can’t eat it, so…”
"Would you like to enjoy a nice meal together, comrade newcomer and seriously wounded soldier?"
