Chapter four hundred and twenty-one brewing counterattack
It started to rain in the hazy sky, and the continuous rain woven into an endless giant network, shrouding Locke Fortress in mist and rain, adding a bit of poetic style to this majestic city.
The virtual world is not always sunny and sunny, but when the real world lights up, a new day has just ushered in, and thousands of players are online on time in various places in the city.
The place where Zhao Xi went online was in the teleportation array of the divine magic tower of the Fortress's Temple of Light.
Last night, after he wiped out an entire opponent's team in the sewers, he used the battle reward points to exchange for the scroll of return to the city, avoiding the pursuit of other enemies in time and returning safely.
"Welcome back to the fortress, dear knight!"
A white-robed priest responsible for guarding the teleportation array bowed and saluted: "I wish your divine grace will last forever!"
He waved the staff in his hand, and a portal not far from the teleportation array opened automatically.
Zhao Xi nodded and left the magic tower.
At the gate of the temple, he stopped a taxi.
Almost an hour later, Zhao Xi appeared in a tavern in a remote corner of the east area of the fortress.
The location of this tavern was unusually remote, and the system's taxis could not reach it directly. Zhao Xi spent 1 silver coin and hired a homeless man to lead the way to find it.
Of course, the business of such a tavern is very poor. In fact, except for the owner who is the bartender, there are no customers or waiters. There are only a few flies flying on the empty wine tables.
"You're late!"
The boss said very dissatisfied: "I have other customers, so I can't spare much time for you."
"There's a traffic jam..." Zhao Xi waved his hand and said, "Are you the boss of Yiku?"
The other party "hummed" and sent him a friend invitation.
Zhao Xi chose to confirm. Although in the plane of destiny, all player communication channels are disabled, the friend mode is very useful in the grand arena and trading market.
He also verified the other party's identity and that he was the person he was looking for.
"Did you buy this tavern?" Zhao Xi looked around and praised: "What a great place!"
"I didn't buy it, it was a reward for the plot mission, and it cannot be returned!"
Yiku's face looked a little ugly, and Zhao Xi's sarcasm obviously hit his pain point: "Otherwise, the punishment will be severe!"
Zhao Xi laughed, sometimes the rewards of the mission are not necessarily good. It may mean greater trouble. This information dealer obviously stepped on the "stinky egg", which is as rare as the "Easter egg".
Information dealer, yes, this player is called "Yiku". He is also considered a very famous person in the circle of professional players.
It is said that he opened a studio of his own. He specially organized a group of people to collect various information and useful information in the game, and became a professional broker by buying and selling.
Zhao Xi is a member of the Professional Players Alliance, and the valuable information he needs can be obtained through the Professional Players Alliance. However, the Professional Players Alliance has inconveniences and restrictions, and some information cannot be bought on the surface.
For example, Blackwater has a four-star rating in the professional league, and it is said that it is about to break through to five-star.
Therefore, if Zhao Xi wanted to obtain the other party's information, he could only find another way.
Yiku was introduced to him by Ye Qingcheng. Although the former was very famous, he only took business from regular customers. Without the introduction of friends, it was impossible for Zhao Xi to find him in the game.
"I already have the news you want!"
Yiku said: "But for the sake of Miss Qingcheng, I must remind you that the people in Blackwater Company are very evil. If you offend them, you will definitely be in trouble in the future."
Zhao Xi said calmly: "Last night in the sewer, I killed a group of employees from Blackwater Company!"
This afternoon, he had received accurate information from Ye Qingcheng. The ones who came to attack Team Yangmei last night were the professional teams belonging to Blackwater Company. There were three teams in total.
Being passively beaten has never been Zhao Xi's style. Now that Blackwater has chosen to start a war, Zhao Xi naturally wants to retaliate, so now he needs accurate intelligence information about his opponent.
Blackwater Company has obviously become Hua Yu's most important minion to attack him. If he can preemptively cut off the opponent's black hand, it will undoubtedly greatly weaken the enemy's arrogance.
Although Zhao Xi is currently at the critical juncture of the fourth ring mission, and the members of Team Yangmei are about to complete data synchronization, they should have endured it a little longer.
But he knows very well that the longer the time drags on, the stronger the opponent will become. If they don't give the opponent a painful enough lesson, they will become more unscrupulous!
"Holy crap! Did you destroy Blackwater's Iron Cross team?"
Hearing Zhao Xi's answer, Yiku was shocked: "They also said that they were besieged by dozens of people. Your Yangmei team only has seven people in total, right?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "To be precise, I killed them alone. This news should be worth something, right?"
Yiku was completely speechless, and after a while he gave Zhao Xi a thumbs-up: "You are worthy of being the master who opened the plane of destiny. I, Yiku, have convinced you, and I will give you a 20% discount for this information!
"
He put a scroll on the counter and pushed it to Zhao Xi: "Chenghui 100 gold, you can also pay in cash, please transfer 50,000 yuan to my account."
In the large trading market, the selling price of 1 gold fluctuates between 110-120, but the coins of the fate plane are not interchangeable with the main plane. After players come to the fate plane, they are all penniless.
Therefore, the gold coins of the Destiny Plane are very valuable, reaching the level of 1:500!
A piece of information costs 50,000 yuan. If he didn't believe Ye Qingcheng's recommendation, Zhao Xi would not take action easily.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Can I use equipment to pay for it?"
Yiku rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, I also collect second-hand equipment."
There is no difference between new and second-hand equipment in the game. Even if it is not durable for a long time, it will look brand new after being repaired. There is no huge gap in value.
The so-called second-hand equipment is completely the talk of profiteers!
Zhao Xi smiled, took out two pieces of equipment from his backpack and threw them to the other party: "I'm giving you an advantage!"
Yiku's eyes lit up and he immediately took it. He couldn't move it away after looking at it twice: "The best and most outstanding outfit? What a good thing. It couldn't have exploded from Iron Cross, right?"
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward!" Zhao Xi said.
"Holy shit!" Yiku's eyes went straight: "Boss, you are so handsome. If you have such equipment in the future, please take more care of me!"
As a broker, of course, I am extremely sensitive to the prices of equipment on the market, so Yiku could tell at a glance that there was no problem in selling these two top-quality pieces of equipment for fifty or sixty thousand.
Who doesn't like such generous customers?
While Yiku was fondly playing with the two pieces of equipment, Zhao Xi opened the scroll.
This is a very ordinary scroll with a lot of dense text written on it. Zhao Xi quickly browsed it with a satisfied look on his face.
"Boss, my information is definitely worth the money. Didn't you get these two pieces of equipment in vain?"
Zhao Xi nodded: "Not bad!"
This information about Blackwater Company was really useful to him. Based on the information provided above, he quickly had an idea in his mind.
At the same time, in Locke Fortress, in a hotel a few blocks away from Zhao Xi's tavern, in a room on the third floor, a dozen players were sitting together for a meeting.
All of these players have completed data synchronization with the main plane, and are all well-equipped. Their professions are mainly knights, warriors and mages, as well as two priests and thieves.
None of their faces looked good, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
A black-armored knight said in a deep voice: "We made a complete mess in last night's operation. Not only did we lose an entire team, but we didn't even capture a single person on the other side. It would be embarrassing to say that!"
A gray-robed mage next to him hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, the failure of this operation cannot be entirely blamed on Iron Cross and the others. We also made mistakes and underestimated the strength of our opponents."
After a pause, he continued: "Everyone has seen the battle video. I believe that if we meet that Zhao Daniu again in the future, we will never lose as badly as this time. One or two of us can't beat him, but three or five of us can't.
Is there a problem? So I can’t say that I gained nothing last night.”
Snap!
The only thief stabbed the dagger in his hand on the table board and said anxiously: "Miss Hua's insider is not reliable either. She made us keep going in circles in the sewer, but in the end we didn't even find anyone!"
The black-armored knight waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say these words anymore. Miss Hua is our big customer, and the customer is God. We should look for more reasons from ourselves."
He said: "In general, we made the mistake ourselves, so in the past two days, the teams of Lao Wu, Xiao Ha and Leopard are still keeping an eye on the Yangmei team in the fortress. The other teams seize the time to complete the task."
"Whether our Blackwater Company can gain a foothold in the plane of destiny depends on whether these two tasks are completed beautifully or not. With so many people staring at us, we can only win and cannot lose anymore!"
For any professional game startup company, word of mouth and credibility are the most important. Once word of mouth is gone, it will be extremely difficult to regain the trust of customers.
In the past, Huayu and Blackwater Company used this aspect to attack Team Yangmei and achieved very good results. If Zhao Xi's performance was not so outrageous, the latter would have been completely suppressed long ago.
So for the current Blackwater Company, Zhao Xi is their number one enemy!
"Spread the news. I want accurate information about Zhao Daniu. If we don't drive him out of the plane of destiny, we can all get out!"
