If she really couldn't beat him, Nie Shuangshuang would have wanted to punch him right now.
But not only did the mature veteran player not try to punch him, she held back, without even changing her expression.
"We've discussed it, the position of chairman must belong to you, Manager Jie!" Nie Shuangshuang lied with his eyes open, "Look at your temperament, look at your strength, look at your outfit... Big brother, when will you return the magic robe to me?"
Nie Shuangshuang really couldn't help it.
Just now, when Jie Fangcheng hit the hole with his stick in a very cool way, he was standing next to the hole, and the waves hit him first.
At this time, half of his magic robe was wet, and there were suspicious stains on the sleeves, either from beating the octopus in the sea that day, or from breakfast in the morning.
If it weren't for the fact that clothes could automatically refresh when leaving a dungeon, Nie Shuangshuang would have fought with Jie Fangcheng the first time he tore a hole in the robe.
Jie Fangcheng said innocently: "I have nothing to wear."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Daoan stood in front of him and handed him a set of T-shirt and jeans.
When Jie Fangcheng took it, he was still asking, "Where did this come from? It can't be from this dungeon, right? If I wear the clothes from this dungeon to clear the level, and the things in the dungeon can't be taken out of the dungeon, then I will be completely empty-handed, right? Huh?"
[Props: Simple and elegant three-piece set]
[Introduction: A classic style that has been popular in the mall for 50 years! Well received by customers over the years! The cut is generous and decent! Suitable for all ages! What are you waiting for? Buy it now! ]
[Hint: What hint do you need? Don’t you know how to put on clothes? ]
[Function: What is the function? Isn't it enough to prevent exposure? ]
Jie Fangcheng was surprised: "You have quite a lot of clothes!"
"Not bad." Zhang Daoan looked calm, "But I don't have many points. After this copy is completed, I can buy other things with more points."
Nie Shuangshuang interrupted: "Except for some limited editions, the cost-effectiveness of the clothes in the system mall is very low. Your set costs more than 100,000, right? Why not find a professional player to make one for you? I know a guy who makes a trendy brand. The most expensive one is only more than 30,000. It's beautiful, cheap, and unique. It's made by hand and made to measure! The jacket I'm wearing was made by him. I'll introduce you to him when we get out!"
Xie Fangcheng was honest: "But I don't have any points."
Nie Shuangshuang said proudly: "What's the big deal? I paid for it!"
Zhang Daoan asked: "You came out just to talk about this?"
"Ah," Nie Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "Oh, no, it's just about the president's matter, and..."
Nie Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "If we die now, can we go to the underworld? Since the national copy last year, many people don't want to continue to persevere."
She looked at Jie Fangcheng. Nie Shuangshuang, who had always been carefree, now looked a little vicissitudes of life.
"Everyone knows that they may be punished after going down, but some friends would rather accept the punishment than continue to stay in this game."
Most of the players who would enter Ronghua hate the game atmosphere of intrigue, life and death, but since they have come to this game and have the possibility of returning to the real world, coupled with the support of Ronghua’s own philosophy, everyone would grit their teeth and persevere for the sake of the union if for no other reason.
But now, we know that returning to the human world is a lie. Although Zhang Daoan did not say it explicitly, everyone can hear from his few words that the people in the underworld are afraid that the players will be treated as criminals who need to be judged.
Jie Fangcheng has a good relationship with them and has no temper, which is probably even rarer.
The people of Ronghua would believe what Zhang Daoan said without any evidence, because he was the president's brother.
They believe it, but most other players probably won't believe it.
In the future, Ronghua will stand on the side of the underworld. Just think about it and you will know that this will make him an enemy of most of the players.
I'm tired.
After so many years of persistence, I found out in the end that it was all in vain. Even if I continue to work hard, won’t I still return to the underworld in the end
As for the trial and frying in oil, could it be more terrifying than the intrigues with humans in the game
Some players have already found it difficult to persist, and some...
Nie Shuangshuang looked at Zhang Daoan: "Is Ji Chaoyang really the murderer who killed the president? Is what you just said true? Did the president send you a message?"
"No, it's all speculation."
Nie Shuangshuang frowned, but quickly nodded.
"But Wei Yuan also said that Ji Chaoyang blocked him after knowing you were here, so he must have something to hide. That man indulged his brother for so many years, he is not a good person to begin with." She smiled, "In fact, I also want to go directly, but I have to see that idiot surnamed Ji die before I can feel at ease! He has passed the level so many times, he must have killed many people, right? If he really gets into the frying pan, I will die of laughter if he fries with me at the bottom of the pan!"
Jie Fangcheng interrupted: "That's terrible. Now we each have our own pot."
Damn it!
Nie Shuangshuang's temper can only last for five minutes at most, and at this moment she couldn't help but glare at him.
The three of them chatted at the door for a long time. Soon the door of the entertainment hall opened again and Wei Yuan walked out.
Jie Fangcheng finally understood why Nie Shuangshuang came out of the house alone.
Wei Yuan's eyes were red, obviously he had just cried. When he opened the door, he could faintly hear sobbing sounds in the entertainment hall.
The president and his men died in unclear circumstances, and no one knew what had happened. After their death, the union was like a collapsed building, and countless people left Ronghua with resentment.
There are many people like Wei Yuan who have investigated this matter. Wei Yuan can think that the reason why Zhang Daowu and others did not do live broadcasts and did not use summoning props is because they entered the [Reincarnation Experience]. Others can also think of it.
Everyone knows that the difficulty of the dungeon will be reduced during the national dungeon period. It is inevitable that some people will think that this is the reason why Zhang Daowu and his friends did not enter the level 5 dungeon as agreed, but entered the [Reincarnation Experience] instead.
If they hadn't entered the [Reincarnation Experience], then everyone had been working hard to transfer their skills and props, consuming their own future to try to increase their chances of survival. Why didn't they say a single word? Not even a farewell
Everyone couldn't figure it out and couldn't find anyone to ask, so their enthusiasm quickly dissipated. In the end, there were only about a hundred players left in Ronghua.
Those who stayed behind also had doubts. Even though they held on to the ruins, they no longer discussed the next dungeon and wrote strategy guides as enthusiastically as before.
Many people haven't entered a dungeon for a long time. One reason is that their strength doesn't allow it, but more importantly, they have no reason to continue.
How many people have turned into professional players, too lazy to die or live, just waiting for the national copy to shine in the end.
Zhang Daowu’s death was like a festering wound that not only could not heal, but also became a pain that no one dared to even mention.
Until now, everyone finally found the enemy.
Those who couldn't hold on any longer decided to leave, and those who could still hold on decided to take revenge. In the entertainment hall, some said goodbye, some cried, and some missed each other. Nie Shuangshuang couldn't stand this atmosphere and slipped away, and just then she found that Jie Fangcheng and the others hadn't left yet.
As a result, Wei Yuan, a 1.9-meter-tall bearded man, had red eyes. He was stunned for a moment after seeing Jie Fangcheng and Zhang Daoan, and then his eyes were filled with tears again: "Brother Jie, Brother Zhang..."
Jie Fangcheng's hair stood on end, and he turned around quickly: "I'll go back and change my clothes first!"
After saying that, he took two quick steps, turned around at the corner, and saw Wei Yuan, Nie Shuangshuang and Zhang Daoan standing there. This time, Nie Shuangshuang seemed unable to hold back her tears. Against the backdrop of the two sad faces, Zhang Daoan's expressionless look seemed very inhuman.
Seeing Fang Cheng turned around, Zhang Daoan said, "Manager Jie, please come back soon after you change your clothes."
"ah?"
Zhang Daoan said in a steady voice: "The news may have spread by now. The players on the ship may have some other ideas. The NPCs didn't dare to attack us because of your strength. If you are not here, I am worried that something will happen. After all, the people in Ronghua are very weak now."
Wei Yuan and Nie Shuangshuang: "..."
.
Just as Zhang Daoan said, the news that "Jie Fangcheng from Ronghua is a public official in the underworld" spread at an unreasonable speed.
At that time, Jie Fangcheng and his men were collecting protection fees and smashing boats on the first floor, making quite a noise. The Golden Leopard Team and the few players who had not paid the boat fee were not the only ones around, there were several pairs of eyes hiding in the dark and secretly watching.
"Underworld?" Liu Guangming laughed.
When paying the ship fee, he organized four unions, trying to become the third largest force in this copy.
The largest team was of course Ning Suisui’s “Golden Leopard” team—of course, they later fell apart, and this number one team became a joke.
The second largest is Ronghua Guild - in fact, everyone didn't take Ronghua's people seriously at first, but they have the largest number of people, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if their strength is downgraded, no one knows whether they will have any strange props. In addition, Jie Fangcheng, who can fight NPCs, appeared later, so their strength should not be underestimated.
The third largest, or the strongest in Liu Guangming's mind, is the group of twenty-three people he organized.
As a result, in the morning, this "Yan Xiaotong" was not sensible and made them lose the game in disgrace.
Liu Guangming remembered this incident in his heart.
He had a very covert reconnaissance skill, which he used on the Leopard Squad.
At this time, he and twenty-two players were in the restaurant on the first floor. This dark and greasy place smelled bad, but it was a good place for communication.
The main reason is that it costs little, a single meal is only sixteen cents, and the NPC also said that only the first sixty-six players will pay sixteen cents.
In fact, if the NPC hadn't said that, no one would be willing to eat it, after all, it costs too much.
But the word "only" indicates that the price of this set meal was probably very high originally, and you will never get it again if you miss it! Who knows how many cents it will take to get it back to the original price
Although it hurts, we just went to the second floor to ask, and the price of the restaurant on the second floor is 20 cents.
Expensive! Too expensive!
Even though it's only four points short, everyone just paid an extra 15 points. We are all very tight now.
The portion for a single meal is not large, so everyone ordered one each. Fortunately, the meal was so awful that one portion looked like it could last a day.
This is a promotion only available to the first sixty-six players. I wonder what the price will be after the sixty-sixth player.
Will it directly break through 20 points
Everyone was very worried and felt that this was much more cruel than they had imagined!
It seems that I need to quickly clear out the surrounding players and grab points quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to bear the basic daily expenses.
Liu Guangming was eating while broadcasting what was happening at "Yan Xiaotong"'s side. When he heard the identity of "public official of the underworld", he couldn't help laughing.
"What kind of chuunibyou is this?"
But after he finished speaking, his detection skills "saw" Fang Cheng smashing through the hull.
Liu Guangming and several other players who were also investigating all looked suddenly heavy.
"This is impossible!" someone shouted on the spot.
Among so many people in the restaurant, most players still don't have detection skills, or if they do, they dare not use them casually, for fear of being discovered and hated by the Golden Leopard Squad.
Everyone in the restaurant immediately asked each other what had just happened, and the union members around Liu Guangming also asked.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Guangming frowned and repeated it quickly. Everyone looked at each other. For a moment, it felt absurd and strangely credible.
"Is this... possible?" someone asked, "Can it really smash through the ship??"
"I don't know, eat quickly! We'll go check it out after we finish eating!"
Just then, the door of the restaurant was opened again.
They are Ning Suisui and Zhou Heqi.
Liu Guangming considered himself the leader of the group of 23 people. He was sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant. Because the surrounding environment was noisy, he did not hear the sound of the restaurant door opening.
Or maybe someone around him confronted him.
"Old Liu, Ning Suisui is here."
Only then did Liu Guangming look up.
Zhou Heqi swore that his brother's skills were extremely powerful and the score would definitely not be wrong. Not only would the score not be wrong, but this player who could predict the score also had the specialty of a "living map", which allowed him to predict the target person's location very accurately.
As soon as the divination result came out, it was the fourth floor.
"Fourth floor?? What is the fourth floor for?"
Zhou Heqi had no idea, but he was very calm: "I don't know, but since Liu Guangming can go to the fourth floor, we can go too."
Ning Suisui followed him up to the fourth floor suspiciously, and ran into two NPCs in suits and sunglasses at the stairs. The two NPCs chased after them when they saw them.
"Who allowed you to go up to the fourth floor? You're looking for death!"
If Ning Suisui wasn't so strong, she would have died right there.
"Damn! Are you kidding me?" Ning Suisui was angry.
The player who was fortune-telling shook his head frantically: "It was just an accident just now. The fortune-telling result must be accurate this time! They are on the second floor!"
Ning Suisui turned around and left, starting her search from the first floor on her own.
After searching for just a few minutes, I arrived at a crowded restaurant.
There were so many people here, Ning Suisui standing at the door wasn't sure who was who, so she could only tiptoe to look inside.
As a result, at this moment, Liu Guangming was reminded by the person next to him and raised his head, and his eyes happened to meet Ning Suisui's.
He was stunned.
Everyone knows that Ning Suisui has already brought her friends to join Zhou Heqi's team.
But even if you surrender, it doesn't mean you have no chance of being recruited!
Zhou Heqi, this guy is of average strength, and there are only five of them. If he could be recruited into his group of twenty-three people, it would obviously be a great supplement to his own strength!
"Captain Ning!" Liu Guangming greeted her warmly.
In fact, it’s useless for Ning Suisui to have a name because she has never seen what Liu Guangming looks like.
Now Liu Guangming greeted her. Ning Suisui saw that this man looked like a leader, so she nodded politely, walked in and looked around, and asked, "Hello, I want to see Liu Guangming."
Liu Guangming was stunned for a moment, then stood up enthusiastically: "Captain Ning, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Ning Suisui was also stunned. She didn't expect that her luck was so good that the first person she found was the target person.
"Are you Liu Guangming?"
"yes."
As he spoke, Liu Guangming smiled and stretched out his hand to Ning Suisui, wanting to establish a relationship with this big shot who was ranked seventh on the list.
Ning Suisui also stretched out her hand—holding her golden giant axe.
With a "bang", the huge axe hit the table hard.
Fortunately, the table and the plates on the table were all produced by the system, and Ning Suisui's axe was not meant to kill him. Liu Guangming twisted his body, and a bloody mark suddenly appeared on his wrist, and blood spurted out.
"Fuck!" Liu Guangming quickly took two steps back and pressed his wound.
Although the surrounding players didn't know how the fight suddenly started, they were all old players with rich experience. Those who were close dodged, and those who were far away crowded together to watch the fun.
Liu Guangming never expected that Ning Suisui would come at him without saying a word.
"What are you doing?!" Liu Guangming was angry but also a little scared.
Ning Sui Sui is the seventh player on the leaderboard! I don't have any grudge against her, right
Could it be because he offended "Yan Xiaotong" at the front desk this morning? This shouldn't be the case! Didn't the Golden Leopard Team fall apart and become enemies?
Ning Suisui in front of him didn't explain, but just whispered "sorry".
This "sorry" made Liu Guangming understand.
He looked at Zhou Heqi who was standing behind Ning Suisui.
Ning Suisui and her friend scored very low points. It seemed that Zhou Heqi threatened her with her friend's life.
"Zhou Heqi! What do you mean? Are you going to force Captain Ning to kill me?"
Zhou Heqi stood at the door and said cheerfully: "Don't say that! The copy rules are like this, there is nothing we can do about it!"
Ning Suisui's expression also looked depressed and helpless, and it seemed that attacking Liu Guangming was not her intention.
Liu Guangming looked at Ning Suisui, his mind working quickly at this time: "Captain Ning, I know this is not what you meant! Just wait, I will let everyone kill that guy and give you freedom!"
Ning Suisui just shook her head, her voice still low: "And Xixi."
“Shameless!”
Yan Xiaoqian was kept as a hostage, and Zhou Heqi brought Ning Suisui with him, asking Ning Suisui to come out and beat them to earn points!
In fact, if it were Liu Guangming, he would definitely make the same choice.
But he still had to condemn it verbally: "Zhou Heqi! If you are a man, come and fight me! If I win, you release Miss Yan!"
Zhou Heqi thought he was really baffling: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this game be played like this? Captain Ning, stop talking nonsense with them, and start!"
Ning Suisui sighed helplessly again and rushed forward with a huge axe in her hand.
Liu Guangming was no match for her and he didn't last more than ten moves before her wish came true.
"I command you... to stop!"
He still had the idea of pleasing Ning Suisui and recruiting her in the future.
Liu Guangming also knew that since Zhou Heqi brought Ning Suisui here, the scores of the two of them would obviously not be low. The only use of his order was to hand over the points he had.
Sure enough, after the system prompt, Liu Guangming stared at his zero points in a daze.
Ning Suisui actually stopped, and her expression looked a little dazed.
Zhou Heqi couldn't help but tiptoe at the door: "What's wrong?"
"Got it." Ning Suisui said simply.
"How many points?"
"sixty."
"Why is it so low?" Zhou He was surprised.
Liu Guangming should have scored 121 points!
Ning Suisui frowned and said, "Your friend's divination skills are not good enough. The gap is too big. Let's go back and talk about it."
She now has 300 points. Excluding the 60 points contributed by Liu Guangming, the rest are contributed by Zhou Heqi and team members.
This score is already very high, and Ning Suisui is also strong, so she dared to come.
Zhou Heqi also nodded.
The moment he turned his head, his eyes swept across the bar, and then he was stunned.
"Sixteen for a single meal? That's so expensive???"
Ning Suisui couldn't help but look towards the bar.
On the small blackboard on the bar, the original [1 point for a single meal] has now become [16 points for a single meal], and inflation is increasing rapidly.
Liu Guangming lost 60 points, but he still cheered up.
He forced a smile, maintaining his composure, with a lingering good wish of "pulling Ning Suisui to his side".
"Don't think that 16 points is expensive. The second floor needs 20 points! Although it's only a difference of four points, it's still a considerable expense every day."
Liu Guangming advised: "Captain Ning, you haven't eaten yet, right? Buy some now! This set meal is only available to the first 66 guests. I don't know how much it will cost after the 66th guest!"
Ning Suisui's expression became a little strange, and there seemed to be a hint of sympathy in her look.
She asked, "Didn't you ask what the score was after 66th place?"
Liu Guangming was stunned for a moment, and a vague ominous premonition arose in his heart.
“We asked, and they said it would return to the original price… The original price… shouldn’t it be much higher than 16 cents?”
Ning Suisui has already asked for him.
She walked up to the bar and knocked on the bar table.
"Hello, may I ask, what is the number after the sixty-six guests with sixteen points?"
The NPC at the bar looked at her.
"Restore the original price."
“What was the original price?”
The NPC directly took out the blackboard from below.
[1 point for a single meal].
The restaurant was silent.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind Zhou Heqi.
"Huh? Why are there so many people?"
Xie Fangcheng changed into a T-shirt, jeans, flip-flops, and appeared at the door with his stick on his shoulder.
Looking at Jie Fangcheng, Liu Guangming's mind flashed back to the scene of the morning.
Forty-four... Sixty-six...
I don't know how many points were added...
Liu Guangming understood.
Why did the original 1 point single meal become 16 points? This is probably because the people from Ronghua went there to eat delicious food!! But the people from Ronghua didn’t pay the points, so the NPC collected the points from ordinary players like them!!
At this time, Jie Fangcheng appeared at the door. Liu Guangming was so angry that he felt dizzy and asked angrily, "What are you doing here?"
Jie Fangcheng said succinctly: "It's a robbery. Everyone, get ready and hand over all your points."
