"This is……"
"Wow, wow! This quality, these special effects...have you ever made a fortune?"
"Take your stupid hands away! Don't even look at what you look like... Are you allowed to touch this thing casually?"
"What, what are you doing? You're not a magician, okay? You have to stare at it with everyone, or you're just waiting to sell it!"
"Sell?"
In the team that became increasingly lively due to the appearance of the stone, the most intimidating Flame Legend used his big hand like a cattail leaf to block the sight of the crowd behind him. At the same time, he was also criticized for his overly enthusiastic gaze.
The frightened woman, together with the stone that appeared in front of her, was separated to the other side of the crowd: "Isn't that too wasteful? Such a good thing should at least be left to Xiaoyu'er..."
"Xiao Yu'er is a fire magician. What's the use of giving her this stone?" Duan Qing on the other side immediately pushed him away: "And she hasn't spoken yet, so don't handle her things without permission, okay?
good?"
"What's wrong with the fire magician? Fire magicians also need intelligence, okay?" Legend of Flames glanced sideways: "As for this woman... do you understand what she is going to say? If you don't understand, what can we do?
any solution?"
"You just deal with it casually if you don't understand? Did they sell it to you or something?" Duan Qing angrily blocked the woman's body with his raised right arm: "They ran to me with all their belongings.
We are not here to act as traitors!"
"I quite agree with this."
The voice belonging to Yangtze River No. 7 then sounded in the center of the team, and at the same time, his head looked here: "Since we have triggered such an event, there must be some special mission or hidden element.
If the inside is disposed of so hastily... we may not even have time to regret it in the future."
"That makes sense!" The fat man named Feitian Qixia also jumped out when he heard this: "Don't we hear enough stories about missing hidden missions because we missed key props? Now the opportunity falls on us.
We must catch it!"
"That's nice to say, do you know what kind of mission this is?" Tudou next to him crossed his arms helplessly: "Don't say it's the clue of the mission, we don't even understand what the mission poster is saying..."
"How about... let's go back secretly?" Legend of Lieyan, who had been thinking for a while, said tentatively: "Secretly tie a translator back and figure out what she wants to say first?"
"...I think it's better if we don't go back."
Following the direction pointed by the other party, Duan Qing's eyes also fell on the southern center of the Anderson Independent State. Then, when the woman behind him reacted with trembling again, he calmly lowered his head: "We're already there.
Going back to this place now will only cause trouble for others. We don’t know when the restorers will appear and what kind of disputes they will cause..."
"What about this guy? Are you really taking her away?" Legend of Lieyan pointed behind Duan Qing: "Looking at your reaction at the beginning, I thought you were going to kill her."
"Perhaps the person who really likes this woman is Brother Qingshan." The fat man whose head was revealed from behind the Legend of Lieyan winked at Duan Qing for a while: "She is so beautiful, yet so pitiful, and she is the surviving daughter of a clan...
…”
"...I don't know any Geis tribe."
After saying this lightly, Duan Qing's eyes turned cold: "But..."
"I should have heard of this Oknos."
He turned around, his sight then crossed the top of the woman's head, and then brought into his sight a towering mountain peak in the distance between cumulus clouds and storms. The atmosphere around him also followed his
Silence fell into silence for a period of time. Even the few passers-by who originally passed by this place stopped in curiosity. Only then did the team that started to attract attention because they stopped for too long appear.
He came back to his senses and started his journey again: "It seems that Brother Mo does hide a lot of secrets... Do you know the origin of this stone?"
"I have never seen this stone before, but I have heard about it elsewhere. It was the mission target that appeared in Falling Star Mountain during the last League Cup auditions."
"When you say that, I seem to have an impression. According to legend, the rock caves in the heart of that high mountain extend in all directions, and contain many luminous green stones... Well, it can't be the one in front of us, right?"
"No, that kind of stone is commercially available, and it's not very useful. Although I doubt that the cube in front of us is made of that kind of stone..."
As the discussion became clearer, Duan Qing's team gradually climbed up the hillside ahead, and as the surrounding temperature gradually dropped, they safely crossed the border between Independence State and Taron County.
The woman's body was constantly trembling during this process, as if she was very afraid of the cold environment that was completely different from her hometown. The hands that had been holding Duan Qing's arms also became weaker as they moved forward.
Getting tighter and tighter: "...what's wrong?"
"..."
"Afraid of the cold?"
"..."
"The language barrier is really difficult."
Duan Qing let out a sigh of helplessness, stretched out his hand to catch a few white snowflakes that appeared in the air on the mountainside, and then handed the other party a low-level white wolf leather armor again, raised his head and looked around here: "
It is also difficult for a tribesman like you who has no knowledge of the world and has never left the mountains to come out of here..."
"..."
"You have to be mentally prepared, the world outside is not as easy as you think."
Looking at the clear eyes of the woman who picked up the leather armor and looking up at him, Duan Qing couldn't help but loosen his serious expression: "After all, there are many things in this world that are more extreme than war, you are the only one who can do it.
A woman who is inexperienced in the world...Oh, why should I say these words to you? You can’t understand them anyway."
"Let's find a place to rest." He shouted towards the front, and then he unexpectedly received a questioning look from Legend of Flame: "Get warm first."
"Why, that woman can't stand it again?"
"Probably, it's getting dark soon anyway, let's... huh?"
The fingers that were operating the system interface suddenly froze in mid-air. Duan Qing's lips that were speaking stagnated along with his frozen movements. His eyes full of surprise also fell to the side of the character bar.
On the newly added window interface, the figure belonging to the woman next to him was constantly rotating in front of his eyes using 3D projection. At the same time, there were also related attributes and information displayed, but apart from that
Except for the woman's name, all other attribute information has been replaced by large question marks: "...Followers? What is this? Is it a new function in the new version?"
"..."
"...Eina Osiris?"
"...?"
This time, the woman who had been holding him tightly finally reacted to the name Duan Qing tried to pronounce. The eyes under the hood then stared closely at Duan Qing's face, seeming to be waiting for the other party's call.
With his next move, Duan Qing, who finally realized what the system had done to him, also showed a bit of surprise. His free right hand involuntarily slapped his head, and then projected it on the other people around him.
With doubtful eyes, he pointed casually in a certain direction above the snow-capped mountains: "It's okay, it's okay, hahaha! Then, there seems to be a cave over there that is shown on my map..."
"Let's go and stay there first."
*****************************
"How's it going?"
"Just like what you are thinking, uncle, many people came out to question us. Some questioned our qualifications, and some questioned how we got the surprisingly good equipment..."
"...They should all be thugs secretly hired by other families. Don't worry about them."
"Of course I won't care! We are very busy now! Not only do we need to train, but we also need to collect information about the rules of this competition..."
"...There shouldn't be any big problems in the next few games, right?"
"I wanted you to come and see me, but you didn't come, and now you come here to ask me... Now we have more than thirty people every time, and if we continue like this, we will be at the bottom!"
"Let's just be at the bottom, as long as we can qualify... How were the maps in the subsequent games? Have they changed as revealed by the league?"
"The winning conditions are almost the same. They are to defeat all other opponents before the specified venue is about to disappear. No matter what method is used, as long as they survive to the end! The only difference is that the background story of each map is different. The map
The reasons for the contraction are also all kinds of strange. Some are small islands that are about to be submerged by the ocean, and some are military bases filled with highly toxic gases..."
The crackling sound of operation sounded one after another along with the system prompts, and then stopped abruptly when Duan Qing pressed the last button. After slowly closing the chat box, he took a long breath and looked around.
He pointed to the top of the game cabin above the system panel: "Sure enough... they started taking action."
"...The captain's intention to participate in this competition was also secretly guided by them?" Ningyu Ninglan, who was holding a tea tray at the side, answered with a bit of deepness: "In order to lure you, sir?"
Come to the table..."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but Mengzhu should be really short of money." Duan Qing, who was staring at the sky, replied in a low voice: "The little girl has been thinking a lot about this matter recently, and it doesn't look like it.
That kind of vain guy..."
"Perhaps our leader's money-grubbing temper has been developed during this period of time." As if recalling the days he spent in the Fool Adventure Group some time ago, the secret expression appeared on Ninglan's face again.
A bright smile: "If it weren't for her efforts to fight for the interests of the group in Tania, we wouldn't have accumulated so many black boxes later..."
"What can be ruled out now is the possibility that Mengzhu belongs to their side. They should just take advantage of this situation."
After shaking his head and laughing for a while, Duan Qing returned his attention to the severe situation in front of him: "But similar problems must have occurred in other places. What happened to Lou Yushang is a typical example. Plus, later
Chu Lingbing...well, has anything unusual happened in the Duan family recently?"
"The Duan family...there have indeed been some abnormalities recently."
Tightening the tea tray in her hand, the seemingly unmoved Ningyu Ninglan replied softly: "The manager, who always likes to cause trouble for the maids, has suddenly become in a good mood recently. He must have learned that something is about to happen.
It's a good thing, and Duan...the current head of the Duan family has not appeared in our field of vision for a long time. "
"According to Ninglan's observations and guesses, they seem to be busy with matters related to the League Cup." The maid lowered her head at this point: "Although due to the previous agreement, they have not directly participated in the virtual real world.
Among them, Ninglan suspects that they have already secretly intervened in some affairs in the free world, and have concealed the details through the alliance's channels."
"I also have this speculation. After all, the number of people who know my true identity... seems to be a little more than usual."
Waving his hands helplessly, Duan Qing gradually hid his figure in the game cabin door that was about to close: "We will continue to investigate and report again. Of course, we must pay attention to safety. If it is too dangerous..."
"You don't have to come over again."
Not noticing the sluggish look on the maid's face, Duan Qing's consciousness returned to the game world again, and the coldness coming from the mountains and flying snow also descended on him with his appearance.
In front of him. The greetings belonging to Legend of Flame and others then sounded in his ears, but what came to him earlier than these was the hug belonging to Ayina. With a bit of fear in her eyes, she used Xiaolu
The same gaze was fixed on Duan Qing's face, and then the latter's face responded like a bitter gourd: "Okay, okay, don't pester me..."
"I just checked offline for a long time, but I still couldn't find out who the followers are."
