About three hundred meters south from the wooden house where Phil lives, along the stone road, there is a small tavern. The owner of the tavern is a tall middle-aged man who looks a bit like Captain Hook - one-eyed, with a
Wearing a black unilateral eyepatch; one of his right hands was missing, so an iron hook was installed on the broken hand. When Phil asked him to come out from behind the counter and go to the corner to talk in detail, everyone discovered that his right leg
It was also broken at knee level and contained a wooden stick.
"Ellenster, these are some of my new friends, who are strangers like me." Phil said straight to the point, "They are very powerful, and more importantly, very reliable, and have accomplished many great things.
"
The tavern owner Aronster's cloudy one eye suddenly emitted a menacing light, and his breathing became rapid.
"They are very reliable!" Phil emphasized again, "Especially this brother Cheng Peng. He once ran thousands of miles single-handedly, attacked a large army by himself, and killed several famous generals. When it comes to surprise attacks,
In terms of killing and killing, few people can surpass him. Even if it comes to beating up enemy Hakka families, unless the old man sets out in person, I'm afraid he won't be as good as him."
Allenster's gaze shifted to Cheng Peng, with unconcealable ecstasy, which made Cheng Peng even a little uncomfortable.
"Please wait a moment!" The disabled middle-aged man stood up, walked to the door of the tavern, stuck his head out and looked around, then closed the door, hung up the "Closed" sign, and said
The heavy door latch locked the door tightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, a strong thought came over his whole body.
This crippled tavern owner is actually a Greed Island player!
"My name is Alan St., and I used to be a hunter." The boss, who seemed to be a few years younger, quickly came back and sat down and introduced himself, "I once asked Phil to help me find reliable and capable people to help me.
Kill some people."
Cheng Peng nodded, and he roughly guessed the reason - the former hunter should have a grudge against certain people, but he could not take revenge on his own ability, so at the expense of Shui Liuli, one of the seven beauties, he was looking for someone who could
Helpful people.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. Phil already knows it." Allenster sighed and took out a piece of white paper. "There is a top-secret storage room in the Hunter Guild headquarters, which is specially designed for those with one star rating or above."
The hunter keeps some confidential things. On this piece of paper is written the number of the safe and the 22-digit password required to open the safe. Just brush it with camera developer to reveal the writing."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he tore the paper into eight pieces of similar size and handed one piece to Cheng Peng.
"My enemies are the Phantom Troupe. After you kill them, peel off the spider tattoos on their backs and bring them to me. For every piece of tattoo you bring, I will give you a piece."
Cheng Peng nodded and accepted the fragment.
"I will bring you eight tattoos as soon as possible."
Then, they said goodbye to Alanster, who had become an ordinary tavern owner again, and left the tavern.
"...Uncle Allen is a treasure hunter. He is keen on finding those rare and rare treasures. Because of his outstanding achievements, he won the honor of a one-star hunter. He is quite famous in the hunter industry." After returning to Phil's cabin.
, Phil, who changed into casual clothes, began to introduce the ins and outs of the matter, "Five years ago, by chance, he obtained Shui Liuli, one of the seven beauties, but this caused a big disaster - Phantom
The brigade found him, caught him, tortured him, and asked him to hand over Shui Liuli. They also tortured and killed his entire family in front of him. While they were slowly killing him, a very powerful senior passed by.
The brigade was driven away. He lay in the hospital for half a year, and finally struggled back from death, but he became what he is now."
"Phantom Troupe..." Wang Ji frowned and said with some embarrassment, "They are not easy to deal with!"
Cheng Peng was not as worried as Wang Ji. The Phantom Troupe was originally the target of his arrest, but because of his good luck, he got the opportunity to directly enter the Greed Island from Hisoka, so he didn't have to go to so much trouble.
"It's really unexpected... After going around in a circle, I ended up back where I was." He stood up with a smile, thanked Phil, and took the lead towards the recording point in the center of the city - Greed Island. In this game, there is only one
Only when you log off at the recording point can the character information be saved.
"Hey! This mission is very troublesome!" Wang Ji said worriedly on the way to the recording point, "There are thirteen members of the Phantom Troupe, each of them has the strength of an elite hunter - this is nothing more than troublesome.
The best thing is that they have the support of the entire Meteor Street behind them, and they also have many admirers and supporters among the players... I say Cheng Peng, this task is very difficult to complete!"
"It's not as difficult as you think." Cheng Peng replied calmly, "Wen De and I can kill anyone in the Phantom Troupe together. All we have to worry about is that they may not be able to defeat us and take revenge on other players.
That's all - now that the Ellenster incident is an opportunity, no matter how angry they are, they will only go after us and Ellenster, so they don't have anything to worry about..."
"Actually, we don't have to fight against the brigade!" Wang Ji rolled his eyes and came up with a weird idea, "Why don't we try to catch Alanster and steal the remaining pieces of paper from him!"
Cheng Peng, who was sorting out the magic book, was stunned and turned his head to look at Wang Ji who was smiling.
On Wang Ji's face, he saw a hint of embarrassment, but more of it looked confident and proud.
Obviously, Wang Ji didn't think that what he said was wrong. To him, NPCs were objects that could betray and sell out at any time - maybe even players were no exception.
Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment and sighed secretly in his heart - Wang Ji was not the same person as him after all.
"Ellenster is a veteran hunter after all. He may have some life-saving tricks at the bottom of the box, so you better not take risks." As he said that, he took out his magic book and put the ten limited cards and some more valuable ones in it.
He took out all the antique cards and said, "It's a rare opportunity to go to Greed Island, so why not have a good time!"
"After being offline for ten days, the cards in the magic book will disappear, so I leave these with you and please keep them safe." He stuffed those precious cards into Wang Ji's hand and patted Wang Ji's shoulder with a smile.
, "Let's try to see if we can deal with the Phantom Troupe first. If it doesn't go well, we'll come to you for help and think of other solutions."
He expressed his emotions very well, and Wang Ji didn't notice it at all. He completely believed his words, put away the cards with a smile, and agreed wholeheartedly.
"No problem! I will definitely take good care of it for you! But you have to come back soon. In a few months, the protagonists and others will enter this game, and there may be benefits to be gained by then!"
Cheng Peng said goodbye to him with a smile, left Greed Island and returned to Batra's mansion.
"You are such a naive person!" Wen De sighed, "You are obviously feeling uncomfortable, but you still put on a smile on your face. Don't you feel tired?"
"It's good for everyone to smile." Cheng Peng sighed softly. In front of his old friends, he didn't have to pretend to be nonchalant, "It's my fault... His job is intelligence, not combat. To eliminate the Phantom Troupe, etc.
This matter should not have involved him in the first place."
"Then what are you going to do? Do you really need to rely on the two of us to deal with the Phantom Troupe? We are not familiar with the place... I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" Wind asked, "And there are only two of us, and the Phantom Troupe
But there are thirteen people, and the difference in number is very obvious!"
"Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out. At times like this, you have to ask your friends for help." Cheng Peng laughed and started to pack his luggage. "I met a very powerful friend at the Sky Arena, and he is here.
He has a lot of connections, so let’s discuss it with him first.”
"Sky Arena? That's right! Hisoka from the Phantom Troupe is right there!" Wind suddenly remembered the information he had read in the comics and shouted happily, but then he sighed again, "Hisoka
Suo doesn't have a spider tattoo on his body at all, so there's no point in killing him!"
"...The tattoos on my body are fake. If you want to collect them, you have to find someone else." Hisoka said with a smile, "But fate is really interesting. I never thought you would have to deal with the brigade after all."
"Well, maybe this is fate. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Xisuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you come to me?" He looked at Cheng Peng sitting in front of him, then at Zhou Dong, Luo Gan and Wen De sitting not far away, with expressions on their faces.
With a smile of pure curiosity, "I am a member of the brigade."
"Intuition, I don't think you have a sense of belonging to the Phantom Troupe. Maybe you joined the Phantom Troupe just to get something." Cheng Peng's answer was of course a lie. His impression of Hisoka came from the original comic book, "Discuss with Hisoka."
"This plan was also proposed by Luo Gan, "So I thought, maybe we could cooperate - what I need is the tattoo on their back, and I guess that's not what you want."
Hisoka was silent for a while and said: "I want you to help me get a fair duel with the brigade leader Chrollo Ruxilu!"
"What about other things? For example, the secret treasures collected by the Phantom Troupe."
"To be honest, I'm very rich. All the things the brigade has robbed over the years may not be as rich as mine. So I don't want anything - I know there are many of you aliens who are willing to pay for this kind of hopeful
The things you get are hard work, so you can use them as rewards to find some helpers." After saying this, Hisoka smiled and raised his glass, "How about it? My conditions shouldn't be difficult to meet, right?"
"Deal!" Cheng Peng also picked up the wine glass, touched Xisuo's glass lightly, and then each toasted.
A few minutes later, a post appeared on the forum, and it quickly became one of the hot topics.
This post is very short, only twelve words in total.
"I am Cheng Peng, and I want to destroy the Phantom Troupe."
