() Seeing Lin Xu shaking his head, the vendor smiled and said: "Those like us who do business outside Hudu City are collectively called the wilderness. As for the fact that we can pass through, but the riders cannot, it is because there is a profession in the wilderness called
Call the Predators!”
"Predator?" A flash of surprise flashed across Lin Xu's face, and he repeated the word.
The vendor put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Almost every large town has such a profession in the wilderness. Because the predators were drivers before, most of them were because they violated the rules of the game.
, cheating, or offending the imperial power that protects the town, so they were expelled from the town."
"What will they do to the driver?" Lin Xu asked doubtfully, while Meng Ying beside her was also very curious.
The vendor replied directly: "Their levels are generally very high, and some are even the best riders in the town. Therefore, after the riders in the town leave the guarded area, they will encounter relative challenges once they set foot in their area.
But the purpose of this group of predators is not to simply enjoy the fun of the game. It is for the experience, money, and equipment of the drivers!"
Lin Xu understood that the nature of these predators was a bit like a group of people who actively challenged other players and made bets.
"If we go out of the city, will we definitely encounter them?" Meng Ying did not give up and continued to ask.
The vendor nodded: "Almost every area will be guarded by predators, and as you get further and further away from the town, you will encounter more and more predators. So the wilderness is very important to drivers.
For me, it’s a difficult place to move.”
"I advise you to wait until you reach level 10 and go to the teleportation array of the Tiger Roar Emperor Palace to reach the city you want to go to!" the merchant advised.
Lin Xu asked casually: "Are there any players out of the city like us these days?"
"Probably not. Most people in the straight line will rob almost all the money they have. After all their experience is wiped out, no one dares to try."
After hearing his words, Meng Ying's eyes lit up and she secretly said to Lin Xu: "How about we go try it!"
Lin Xu looked at her speechlessly, and after saying "thank you" to the vendor, he pulled her aside: "Aren't you afraid that I will be robbed?"
"You are so powerful, why are you afraid of so-called predators?" Meng Ying looked at Lin Xu with an excited look.
Lin Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are so proud of me. I am only level 4 now. You have also heard that the level of predators outside is very high."
"I don't think so." Meng Ying smiled. She looked at Lin Xu and said slowly: "The predators on the outskirts of the town should be of a lower level, and we may not necessarily encounter them, wandering around Hudu.
If you turn around, you shouldn’t encounter too powerful characters.”
Lin Xu saw Meng Ying blinking excitedly. In fact, he was also a little moved. He finally remained silent for a while and nodded.
When the two people came to the west gate of Hudu, there were many traders and drivers registering at the registration office of the city gate. Some guards were responsible for checking their identities. The drivers wore core locks on their wrists, while the poor people wore core locks on their wrists.
It is a wristband that represents identity.
Therefore, when entering and exiting the city, the most direct way to check your identity is through the core lock and wristband worn on everyone's wrist.
When it was Meng Ying and Lin Xu's turn, the guard glanced at the core locks on their wrists in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "You two are riders, and your level is so low. If you go out of the city, you will definitely be in danger.
.”
"His skills are very powerful!" Meng Ying pointed at Lin Xu and said proudly to the guard.
The elite guard looked at Lin Xu, who nodded awkwardly.
"There are a lot of predators out there. If anything happens, you will be responsible for the consequences." The guard seemed to have no intention of wasting time with the two of them and said coldly.
After Meng Ying and Lin Xu completed the registration procedures, when they walked out of the city gate of Hudu, they discovered that the outskirts of the town of Hudu were actually dense tree shades and endless green. It was just as the merchant said, it was
The vast wilderness.
"What a beautiful scenery." Meng Ying breathed in the fresh air outside the town and said with surprise on her face.
Lin Xu looked at everything except the scenery and saw that some of the vendors who were leaving the city with them were walking along a flat path. He said, "How do we go now?"
"It's up to you." Meng Ying said with a sweet smile.
Lin Xu felt a chill: "It's too fake."
"I hate it, don't expose me." Meng Ying's watery eyes looked at Lin Xu eagerly.
Lin Xu turned his head to the side, out of sight and out of mind, and Meng Ying jumped in anger.
"We can only wander around the outside. If we go too deep, we will definitely encounter high-level predators." Lin Xu said slowly.
Meng Ying nodded: "I think the predators are not fools. They will definitely choose a road that everyone often takes to appear, so let's go through the woods and take a look."
"Yeah." Lin Xu agreed, and he and Meng Ying walked in completely opposite directions.
If tigers are a small world, then the vast wilderness outside the town is a big world, which fills people with yearning and stimulates their psychological state.
"Have you been to the forest?" Meng Ying asked.
Lin Xu shook his head: "You have also seen the conditions at my home. Not to mention the forest, I have never been to the city's botanical garden because I don't have any extra expenses."
"But..." Meng Ying looked at the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees on Lin Xu's face, but found that there was a hint of loneliness on that face, and she paused when she was about to speak.
Lin Xu glanced at this girl with delicate features and fair skin. Although they had only been together for a short time, he became familiar with her personality: "What you want to say is about that photo, right?"
?”
"I'm not going to ask you to answer." Meng Ying lowered her voice and said softly. This time, Lin Xu felt that she was not pretending.
Lin Xu's eyes flickered: "You should remember that I said... the man I hate the most is him!"
Meng Ying stared at his face again. It was hard to imagine that someone actually hated her father.
"He tore my family apart, made my mother cry, and made me never want to know anything about him again." Lin Xu found childhood trauma in his memories, and when he looked at those beautiful scenes,
, but the pain cannot be stopped.
"I don't want to talk about other things..." Lin Xu's trembling hands moved to his trouser legs.
At this moment, Meng Ying suddenly reached out her hand, and before Lin Xu could get out of her emotions, she suddenly took his hand.
Because it is a game with 100% sensitivity, when the slender and tender hand touched Lin Xu's palm, he felt a touch of warmth.
"I don't need you to continue talking." Meng Ying blushed slightly, and then explained: "And... this is just a game." After saying that, she held Lin Xu's hand tightly.
Lin Xu was held tightly by a girl's hand. It felt smooth and warm...
"You said, this is just a game?" Lin Xu asked nervously, his heart pounding.
Meng Ying nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it's just a game. Even a nerd like you can become such a powerful driver..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xu suddenly kissed her lips fiercely.
