Chapter 022 The epee has no edge, the debt must be repaid
"The two big guys are back!"
"Killing the skeletal frost dragon 'Norns', it's so terrifying!"
"I am your fan, Epee Man, please sign your name for me!"
Each copy map in the source world has a corresponding 'global exploration degree'. Even 1% of the exploration degree of each map is extremely valuable.
"Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain" is known as the most difficult map among the level 4 dungeons, and the exploration level is stuck at 99% and has yet to break through.
Until today, the system has issued announcements three times in a row, informing players around the world that the hidden leader "Norns" of "Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain" has been killed and 100% exploration has been achieved.
Suddenly, the strategy team and the player group were in an uproar.
Especially some of the strategy groups who have found a way but haven't had time to take action are scratching their scalps and almost breaking their teeth.
Just like two inventors who applied for patents at the same time, because the first one was half a step late, he could only watch the honor slip away from his hands.
Damn it, it’s just a little bit short of a hundred million!
Triggering hidden missions, collecting diaries, hiding the health bar mechanism, escaping from the battle to fight back against the 'Norns'... all kinds of coincidences came together to create a new record.
And this strategy team that created miracles only consisted of two people, which made everyone guess their identities.
Based on the available information, some players quickly deduced that "Epee Wu Feng" was the ID of the new anchor "Epee Man" because his jet black armor was so recognizable.
Although 'Qing Kui' is very beautiful, everyone knows that the avatar of the source world is a beautiful woman whose gender is certain, so everyone focuses more on her strength.
The discussion thread in the Source World community soared in popularity. Someone posted a record of Qing Kui's failure in challenging "Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain", which caused heated discussions.
"You can break the record even after failing so many times. Did this female shooter hire a substitute trainer?"
"She is considered a pretty powerful card-walker in the fourth level, but I think the main reason is that the heavy swordsman is too powerful."
"I took my girl through the Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain and broke a global record? Grass! (an element)"
"@大剑无风, please take me through the Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain, my avatar is more beautiful than the female gunner!"
Some people ridiculed, some were surprised, some were shocked, and fans followed the popularity. The number of people in the live broadcast room of "Epee Man" exceeded 5,000, and everyone was looking forward to his next live broadcast.
Some people simply teleported to the Destiny Hall in the low-level channel, waiting for ‘Epee Wufeng’ and ‘Qing Kui’ to leave the instance, and watch, welcome, and worship them immediately.
Destiny Hall was crowded with fans and noisy. Qing Kui put one hand on her hip and glanced helplessly at the epee man, as if to say, 'You solve the trouble you caused.'
The man with the epee raised his gauntlet and clenched his fist, coughed, looked at the players who were either eager, watching the fun, or harboring ill intentions, and said calmly:
"Fight with me - if you win, I will give you a friend spot or an autograph."
The Hall of Destiny suddenly became quiet. Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
The next moment, the crowd dispersed like a roar, their expressions somewhat complicated.
PK with the anchor who set a global record?
We are not stupid. Being chopped down with a knife in front of so many people is not a public execution.
Moreover, this is a low-level channel. You, the 'Epee Man', can't think of a duel with the players here!
An octopus with eight claws, a penguin, a leopard, a fat god of thunder... The sand sculpture player dragged his avatar and ran away in a hurry, never forgetting to say harsh words.
"Don't run away if you have the guts, I'll change to a larger size!"
"I'm not bragging. Whenever you stab me, you have to kneel down and beg me not to blackmail you for medical expenses!"
"The heavy sword man has come to the low-level channel to beat the baby, everyone, run away!"
The sand sculpture players dispersed in shock, and the Hall of Destiny returned to silence. Only the AI lady was left standing behind the bar, her smile still as bright as spring breeze.
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly, folded his arms, looked sideways, and looked at Jolina who had one hand on her hip.
"Offline now?" Lin Xiao said.
"Let's have a drink." Jolina said, "I'll treat you."
Lin Xiao was speechless and knocked on his steel mask, making a muffled sound.
Although he could move it up and down, he didn't think it was necessary for a drink.
Jolina was startled at first, then pursed her lips and chuckled as if she found it interesting: "You can look at me carefully."
She turned around, and her shoulder was caught by the heavy sword man's gauntlet. She was surprised that she had no resistance at all, and turned her head slightly.
"Drink with me..."
The man with the heavy sword stood firm, his voice was calm, and he showed off his master's demeanor.
"That's another price."
Qing Kui opened the curtain calmly and clicked a few times casually as a fee for a deeper understanding of the 'Epee Man'.
"Dip, 1,000 star coins have been credited to your account card, and the current balance is: 1,000.00."
"Let's go." The epee man put his big sword on his back and stepped forward, "I'm treating you."
Qing Kui laughed dumbly, her back was tall and proud, her high ponytail swaying, and she walked out of the Hall of Destiny side by side with the tall and fierce epee sword man.
The wheel of fate above the head of the AI lady is still spinning fairly and selflessly.
There are always some creatures who dare to face fate and fight against it...
I’m talking about you, Skeleton Frost Dragon!

Cloud Tower, Level 3, Queen Street.
This is a commercial street designed based on the real "Queen Street", with bright lights, simple luxury.
The two of them walked into a cafe with high-end decoration and sat down in a private room. The snowy owl 'Vivian' also fluttered its wings and appeared, and it rested on the black table between the two of them and gathered its wings.
Jazz flows quietly, and the small round table placed on the black table can switch the incense, music, decoration style of the private room, and drinks and food will automatically rise from the black table.
Qiao Linna stared at the glass of cocktail in front of her with red eyes and said slowly: "The source world can even simulate taste and nerve paralysis. If you don't want to get drunk, just turn off the corresponding parameters. However, according to surveys, nearly 70% of players have turned off this parameter.
Turn it up to the max... They think drinking without getting drunk is pointless."
"In the source world, many players have blurred the boundaries between reality and virtuality, creating bizarre and bizarre scenes." The light blue liquid had a beautiful luster and reflected the bright black table. Jolina's eyes were clear and she said: "This is not a bad thing.
Chaos gave them mercy and comfort."
"Chaos?"
"One of the five giant dragons in the creation myth, it symbolizes time and nothingness. His followers believe that 'everything is vain and you can enjoy yourself in time'."
"What about you?" Lin Xiao stretched out his gauntlet to touch Vivian's head. The little guy narrowed his yellow eyes, "Which dragon do you believe in?"
"I... have no faith." Jolina thought for a moment, "If I have to say it, I would rather pull it."
She said: "Theological books say that the sun has both violent and benevolent sides, and treats every believer solemnly. He also controls the underworld, and the moonlight is the guidance he gives to the wandering people in the dark night."
Jolina raised her red eyes, stared at the man in dark armor in front of her, and said slowly: "Everyone has a tendency to be a dragon, and you, I can't see you clearly, you are like a candle dragon that has both the spirit and the external world.
, and it’s like..."
She didn't continue, and Lin Xiao didn't delve into it. After all, he had the "Card Master's Guide", so he might be able to draw five giant dragons from the card pool.
"Let's talk about the reward, there are more than 3,000 star coins and..." the epee man said, "You forced me to borrow the 60,000 star coins."
Qiao Linna was about to say that there was no need to pay it back. After all, 60,000 star coins exchanged for a global record was really a hugely profitable deal.
The epee man said: "I will pay you back because I don't want to owe anyone else money. I will try my best to return anything I borrow from others - even if that person doesn't value the money at all."
"Because it doesn't depend on others, but on me."
Lin Xiao thought for a while and said a line that she had always wanted to say:
"A heavy sword has no edge, and all debts must be paid."
In the quiet private room of the coffee shop, Jolina was silent for a moment, with a slight smile on her lips.
She likes this sentence very much because it contains two meanings.
Repay kindness to friends with kindness, pay blood debt with blood to enemies.
She somewhat understood why this man's fire was so dark... In addition to loving to spank babies, he had an extraordinarily strong character.
"See you later."
Jolina just took a sip from her cocktail glass, clicked on her personal light screen, put her finger on the 'Exit' button, looked back with red eyes, and spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was asking herself:
"When will the next meeting be?"
Lin Xiao shrugged and did not answer. The girl in red in front of him disappeared with a burst of white light effect and Vivian in front of him.
"Kaos, Atum, Zhulong..."
Lin Xiao looked up at the ceiling, muttering about the information he had gained during this trip, calculating the resources he would feed the card when he returned, and preparing to go offline.
