Jie Fangcheng was really puzzled. Zhang Daoan was such a smart guy, why did he have such a strange filter for himself
Peace? Nuclear peace is more like that, right
The underworld is now promoting modernization in an all-round way to catch up with the pace of development. Jie Fangcheng once went there to study. Deeply inspired by a certain school’s motto of “never give up on any student”, he wrote on the wall the popular words “never let go of any evil ghost”.
God knows how could Zhang Daoan, who looks so cunning, have such a deep misunderstanding of him.
Zhang Daoan did not refute, but nodded calmly: "Is that so?"
Having said that, Zhang Daoan knocked on the door next to him.
Nie Shuangshuang opened the door, and Wei Yuan, who had just returned to the room next door, also stuck his head out.
The two looked at Zhang Daoan, and Nie Shuangshuang asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Daoan said calmly: "I will kill you."
Damn it!
Nie Shuangshuang looked at him with a wary and shocked expression, thinking it was ridiculous. However, looking at Zhang Daoan's calm expression while he was describing the story, she inexplicably felt that this was something he could do: "Why? Are you kidding me?"
Even Wei Yuan next door looked at him warily, with his hand on his wrist, ready to help Nie Shuangshuang as soon as possible.
Zhang Daoan pointed at Jie Fangcheng and said, "He said so."
Jie Fangcheng also made a killer expression and stared coldly at Nie Shuangshuang.
Nie Shuangshuang: “…”
Wei Yuan closed the door directly.
Nie Shuang's eyelids drooped, his eyes looked like an inverted triangle, and his face was full of speechlessness: "Brother, are you not sleepy? What are you doing?"
Jie Fangcheng was depressed: "Sleepy, sleepy, go to sleep."
Nie Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at him, then closed the door and went back to sleep.
Jie Fangcheng quickly pulled out his stick from his bag and said, "How disrespectful! I'm going to beat her to death right now!"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Chanyang, who heard the voice, opened the door, stuck his head out and saw that Fang Cheng was holding a stick. Although he was surprised, he immediately entered combat mode, his head turning wildly.
"What's wrong? Where is the enemy?"
Xie Fangcheng sighed, put away the stick with a dull look, and waved his hand: "There are no enemies, forget it. Go back, go back, it's okay."
Qi Chanyang didn't understand, but he still yawned and went back to sleep.
When there were only two people left in the corridor, Xie Fangcheng came to his senses.
"That's not right. You said you wanted to kill Shuangshuang, and she reacted like that because she believed it. When I said I wanted to kill her, she obviously knew I was joking with her. It's a matter of personal style!"
Zhang Daoan looked at him and said calmly: "What if one day this is no longer a joke?"
Jie Fangcheng was stunned.
Zhang Daoan's expression remained calm.
"Nie Shuangshuang is a special case. This girl survived in the game because she was accepted by the Ronghua Union shortly after entering the game. She didn't have a strong desire to return to the real world. She just wanted to live with her friends. But now Ronghua is gone, she doesn't care about this game. But what about others? For example... Qi Chanyang?"
"Qi Chanyang dared to go to the third level dungeon after clearing it six times. It's impossible for him to have no goal. If one day he knew that Manager Jie, you and I's goal is to dismantle this game, how would he react to someone who wants to return to the present world? Even if you tell him that the game is a lie and that he won't really go back even if he clears the [Reincarnation Experience], will he believe it?"
"Not to mention those who want to return to the real world, there are also people who regard this game as their second life, like Wei Yuan. He found a girlfriend in the game, and not going back would be more in line with his wishes. Although you have to clear the national dungeon once a year, it is better to have hope than no hope. If he knew, what would his reaction be?"
Jie Fangcheng frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Manager Xie, you will meet more 'friends'." Zhang Daoan looked at him.
Jie Fangcheng understood: "Are you afraid that one day they will do something to me? I will be too soft-hearted to do it?"
"right."
Jie Fangcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't even mention Nie Shuangshuang. Even if you dare to attack me, I will chop you on the spot!"
Zhang Daoan was stunned for a moment.
Jie Fangcheng had been standing there talking to him for so long, when he yawned and patted his shoulder.
"Don't think that we are pursuing modernization now. At most, we are pursuing modern office to improve efficiency and strive for holidays. Don't think that we are a service-oriented underworld. Don't have any strange opinions about me!"
After saying that, Xie Fangcheng turned around and went back.
Zhang Daoan pushed his glasses and seemed to smile, looking like he was in a good mood.
He whispered to himself, "So it's rare to be soft-hearted?"
.
At seven o'clock the next morning, the NPCs seen in the lobby yesterday knocked on the players' doors one by one and informed them to go to the lobby.
Jie Fangcheng was sleeping soundly and became furious when there was a knock on the door. But when he opened the door, he saw a timid NPC in a maid outfit standing at the door. He looked very timid.
"Hello... Please go to the lobby to complete today's check-in procedures." He spoke each word haltingly.
If it was an extremely evil NPC, Jie Fangcheng could just kill him on the spot.
At this point he could only sigh: "Okay, okay, I got it."
As he said this, he actually walked slowly towards the hall along with the people around him.
Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help but: "You actually got up? You actually abided by the rules of this crappy game?"
Jie Fangcheng revealed his goal: "Finish the fight as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible."
After everyone arrived at the hall, the NPC who looked like a butler appeared again.
He was still polite as ever, standing in front of the microphone and bowing slowly to the players.
"Good morning, dear guests. On behalf of all the staff on the cruise ship, I would like to greet you and wish you a wonderful day. Before that, please go to the front desk to pay the boat fee."
Except for Gu Zailai who died yesterday, there are now ninety-nine people present, and they are still standing in small groups.
Just then, a clear female voice came from the crowd.
"What if the boat fare is not enough?"
Everyone turned their heads and were shocked.
The "Golden Leopard" team, which has always been famous, seemed to be falling apart at this time. Ning Suisui stood with one of the twins, and the other twin stood with the remaining four team members. The two groups were as far apart as possible.
Immediately, there were whispers in the hall.
The butler NPC on the second floor platform said: "If you can't pay the fare, you can only leave our cruise ship."
"Can I only pay by myself? Can I ask someone else to pay for me?" Ning Suisui asked.
The butler nodded.
The crowd was shocked.
After the rules were announced yesterday, many small teams with close relationships were trying to find ways to accumulate points for each member. They were overwhelmed by the arithmetic problems of addition and subtraction. No one had thought that it could be done this way.
If you can pay on behalf of others, then why bother asking this question? The players at the top of the leaderboard are really extraordinary.
Ning Suisui then asked: "Are there any restrictions on this kind of payment?"
"Yes," the butler said with a gentle expression, "If the guest's points are not enough and your friend is willing to help pay, please note that on the cruise ship, you will become your friend's subordinate. The room and meal fees of the subordinate will be slightly higher than those of normal guests, and the subordinate must meet all the requirements of the guest who pays the points for you, otherwise it will be regarded as disobeying orders, and the guest has the right to invite the guards to expel the subordinate."
The players looked at each other.
Ning Suisui raised her hand without saying anything and asked, "Is there anyone willing to help my friend pay for the three-day ship fare? I can give you a rare item with a market value of more than 300 million right now."
The girl next to her looked at her with red eyes. The other members of Golden Leopard stood far away. One of them looked hesitant and said, "Xiaotong..."
"If you want to go, go ahead." Yan Xiaotong gave him a cold look. "We can't even protect ourselves, I don't want to spend points on her. It was the captain who insisted on making this choice, who can I blame?"
The players around who could hear her words couldn't help but exchange glances.
Is it true that this top-ranked "Golden Leopard" will fall apart so easily? This is a lie, right
As a result, someone actually hesitated and raised his hand.
"Captain Ning, I'm willing to pay for your friend."
Everyone turned their heads.
They were five inconspicuous players. The one who raised his hand introduced himself: "I am Zhou Heqi, the president of Dream Town."
Dream Town? What kind of union is that? I don’t think any of the first 100 people got in
The name Zhou Heqi was also unfamiliar. This was probably a small guild that finally mustered up the courage to try their hand at the level five dungeon. However, after entering, they discovered that the level five dungeon was indeed not something they could pass.
Paying 90 points is not just for Ning Suisui's prop. The housekeeper has just said it very clearly. To put it bluntly, it is paying points in exchange for the help of two powerful thugs.
After Zhou Heqi finished speaking, Ning Suisui walked over and without saying a word, she took out a trident emitting a bright blue light. The shadows of waves and swimming fish could be vaguely seen next to the fork. She just stuffed it directly into Zhou Heqi's hand.
"[Spear of Poseidon]!" someone exclaimed.
This thing is worth more than 300 million. It was also a weapon that was on the list a long time ago. However, as the game has developed to the present, players have obtained more and more weapons in dungeons, and the weapons have become more and more abundant. This trident has gradually lost its reputation and slipped out of the top ten of the list more than ten years ago.
But it is said that the trident has a supplementary skill related to commanding marine species. In this copy, it is like a divine help, and the effect it can produce is really not enough even at 600 million.
Ning Suisui is famous for being the "Golden Rat". She even gave away this weapon. I'm afraid she really had a falling out with the members of her team!
When Zhou Heqi received the [Poseidon's Halberd], his face turned red with excitement. He immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will pay for the three-day ship fare in full!"
Ning Suisui nodded expressionlessly.
Nie Shuangshuang looked at this scene with a strange expression: "This shouldn't be the case."
Jie Fangcheng yawned: "What's wrong?"
Nie Shuangshuang frowned, "You don't know, Sui Sui and the other seven have been through many dungeons, many of which were dungeons where players competed with each other. They have never quarreled before, so how could they quarrel like this in this dungeon? Something is wrong."
Zhang Daoan said calmly, "It's okay, as long as Zhou Heqi and the others don't feel anything is wrong."
At this moment, the housekeeper NPC on the second floor platform spoke again: "Next, please go to the front desk to handle the formalities. Please complete the procedures before nine o'clock. Do the distinguished guests have any questions?"
The players in the lobby have their own thoughts.
Those with high scores have begun to regret not asking Ning Suisui for points first. No one has quite figured out how to pass this copy, but it is obvious that players with high scores have the main advantage.
Many people have already thought of methods like Gu Zailai's, but they are unable to use them due to limited strength.
If I said on the spot that I would pay for Ning Suisui and her friend, Ning Suisui even gave away the [Poseidon's Halberd] for this friend beside her, and there are also payment restrictions, what an easy thug to control! Even if I could pay for Ning Suisui...
Over there, Zhou Heqi had already thought of this.
He even asked quietly: "Um... Captain Ning, do you need to pay for me?"
Ning Suisui just glanced at him with a smile.
Those with low scores were also thinking about what they could give in exchange for the three-day sailing fee.
Those with stronger abilities are already looking for partners, while those with weaker abilities are lowering their heads and rummaging through things in their backpacks.
On the field, Ning Suisui's team was secretly looking at everyone, trying to see clearly whether their faces showed the selection of those with high scores, or the cooperation of those with low scores.
At this moment, Ning Suisui's gaze swept over Ronghua.
Zhang Daoan looked at her, then glanced at "Yan Xiaoqian" beside her, then turned his gaze to "Yan Xiaotong" over there, and made a switching gesture.
Discovered.
This person... if she found out, then she found out. What's the point of exposing her
Ning Suisui frowned and turned her gaze to his side again.
Beside him, Xie Fangcheng raised his hand.
"I have a question."
His voice was not loud, and some players had already started communicating with other players, so few people in the hall noticed him.
The butler was still very kind and polite: "My dear guest, what is your question?"
"Go to the front desk to pay the boat fee. Why do you want me to wait here at seven o'clock? Are you kidding me?" Jie Fangcheng had already taken out the stick.
The butler was stunned for a moment. Perhaps no one had ever asked him this question in all these years. His expression was blank for a moment, and then he explained: "Dear guest, we asked everyone to gather here so that we can answer some questions for guests who have questions."
"If I don't have any questions, can I just go to the front desk to pay the boat fee before nine o'clock? I don't have to come at seven o'clock, right?"
"Uh... yes." The butler nodded.
Jie Fangcheng's expression eased a little, but he thought of something else: "Nine o'clock is too early, how about eleven o'clock?"
The butler frowned, and his polite expression could no longer be maintained: "Guest, since you are on our cruise ship, you must abide by the rules of the cruise ship!"
His voice was a little loud, and finally, the players who were communicating noticed it and turned around to look at him.
Jie Fangcheng held up a stick and said, "What will happen if you don't obey?"
The butler snorted, "Guards!"
As soon as he shouted, two bodyguards wearing suits and sunglasses, nearly two meters tall, came down from the third floor instantly.
Jie Fangcheng exclaimed, "I thought it was an octopus again, but it's in human form this time."
The butler warned him impatiently for the last time: "Dear guest, you must abide by the local rules wherever you are. This is polite and what a qualified guest should do!"
"You're right." Jie Fangcheng picked up the stick, "I'm a rude person."
After saying that, he rushed out suddenly.
The butler waved his hand and said, "Take it down!"
The two bodyguards jumped down from the second floor at a very fast speed. The surrounding players dodged one after another, all with a look of anticipation for the show.
This kid is really something. When did Ronghua become so reckless...
Xie Fangcheng rushed forward, the stick in his hand suddenly became longer, and he hit the two bodyguards on the head, one on each side. The two bodyguards were knocked away as fast as they rushed forward.
The two NPCs crashed directly into the pillar, then let out two inhuman screams, and limped away at a rapid speed.
The butler on the platform was stunned, and then he saw that after Jie Fang Cheng beat up the two bodyguards who dared to attack him, he was rushing forward again. He came to his senses and finally realized that the standing guest was indeed impolite.
When he took this step, the floor made a "cracking" sound.
The butler was not strong enough, so he took two steps back in fear.
"What are you going to do?!"
"Time." Jie Fangcheng reminded him.
Butler: “…”
The steward asked: "But, but the rules on our ship are set by the captain! This cannot be changed!!"
"Where is your captain?" asked Jie Fangcheng.
The butler pointed upwards with trembling hands.
"upstairs?"
"Fifth floor..."
"Look at you, why didn't you finish your sentence? And you made me ask it again? Are you deliberately wasting my time?" Jie Fangcheng found an excuse and pulled him over. "Your men have all been beaten, it would be unreasonable for you not to be beaten too, right?"
After saying that, he swung the stick in his hand.
Although the butler was not very strong, he showed flexibility that was unimaginable for ordinary people.
He twisted his body suddenly, and his whole body was like a slippery fish - no, he was really a long eel covered with mucus, and he immediately twisted his body and swung his tail violently.
Jie Fangcheng quickly let go of it and took two steps back. In the blink of an eye, the eel dived into somewhere and disappeared.
"Damn it!" Jie Fangcheng came down with a depressed look on his face.
When he walked down, the surrounding players were stunned and made way for him.
Nie Shuangshuang was also stunned.
"Is this housekeeper not a human? And is this NPC so strong? How could he escape from your hands?"
Jie Fangcheng stretched out his hand.
Nie Shuangshuang was confused: "What's wrong?"
“Not very strong.”
"?"
“But it feels disgusting.”
Nie Shuangshuang: “…”
The surrounding players had no idea that there was such a person hiding among them, and they did not expect that this butler NPC was not a human, but a marine creature.
If the butler is a marine creature, then isn't it possible that the other NPCs are not human either
Ning Suisui exchanged a glance with the girl next to her.
There is something strange about Jie Fangcheng, so let's put Ronghua aside for now. It won't be too late to seek cooperation later.
"Let's go." Ning Suisui said. She acted very gently, like the best and most obedient partner. "Let's go to the front desk first and see what's going on with this payment."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Heqi excitedly took the trident in his hand and was reluctant to put it back into his backpack.
When they arrived at the front desk, the NPC at the front desk smiled and said, "Please take out your digital watches. We will deduct the numbers based on the numbers on the watches."
Zhou Heqi's smile remained unchanged, and he asked Ning Suisui casually, "Excuse me, could I ask what your scores are? After all, we are partners, and I think we should know each other's basic values, right?"
Ning Suisui and the other person were also straightforward and showed him their watches directly.
One is thirty-seven points and the other is six points.
So low!
Zhou Heqi felt more relieved.
The player scores of their guild were all very high, none of them were below 100 points, and he himself had an extremely high score of 340 points.
Such a high score was also the key to his ability to snatch Ning Suisui without hesitation.
After arriving at the front desk, Zhou Heqi asked in a gentlemanly manner: "Captain Ning, do you really not need my help? If you are worried, I can have our people transfer some points directly to you, or you can pay for it yourself."
Ning Suisui just shook her head: "Tomorrow, if I don't have enough money for the boat fare tomorrow, I'll come to you again."
"Hahaha, okay." Zhou Heqi then went to pay the boat fare with the people from his union around him.
After they completed the payment, Zhou Heqi pointed to a player next to him.
"Xiao Ba, please help Ms. Yan pay the boat fare." Zhou Heqi asked, "But who is this person?"
The twins look exactly the same, but it is rumored that the elder sister Yan Xiaotong is more outgoing, while Yan Xiaoqian is more quiet.
"Yan Xiaoqian." Ning Suisui introduced.
Yan Xiaoqian really did as the rumors said. She nodded to him shyly and stopped talking.
The player named "Xiao Ba" didn't seem to have any objections. He leaned over the front desk and handed over the watch on his hand again.
Yan Xiaoqian stood aside and handed over her watch.
The NPC at the front desk smiled as she held up her watch and asked, "Excuse me, are you going to help this lady pay for the boat fare?"
"Yes." Xiao Ba nodded.
The NPC ticked away thirty points: "Congratulations, you have paid the boat fare for Ms. Yan Xiaoqian, and Yan Xiaoqian has become your subordinate."
Zhou Heqi had been listening nearby, and finally felt relieved when he heard this name.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was delighted.
It seems that Ning Suisui and Yan Xiaoqian are really desperate. Since these two are so frank and what they say is true, we can really trust them.
This is really a pie in the sky. Ninety points gives you two powerful thugs. Shouldn't you make good use of them
Zhou Heqi's smile deepened: "In addition to the ship fare, the food and room fees here are also not a small expense. I wonder if Captain Ning has any ideas?"
Ning Suisui looked at him: "What is President Zhou's plan?"
"Come on, come on, I have an idea that can guarantee your safety, Captain Ning, and also help us gain a lot of points." Zhou Heqi couldn't help but invite with a smile, "Come on, come on, I'm hungry after being delayed for so long, let's talk while we walk!"
Ning Suisui walked out with them.
Just then, a group of people, at least twenty in number, came in from the opposite side.
The twenty players didn't look like they were here to play a dungeon, but rather to travel, chattering and surrounding one person.
"Brother Jie, how did you do that just now? You are too strong!"
"Wow, how come you can pull it out with just two sticks? What kind of strength is this! Old Wei, do you have this strength?"
"Get lost, if I had the ability, I would be gone by now!"
"Fuck, what kind of hell joke is this? It hurts!"
"Brother Jie, we have to pay the boat fee soon. Do you have any ideas?"
Xie Fangcheng said modestly: "Okay, okay, it's just so-so, I won't pay it back."
"Ah? Then what are we doing at the front desk?"
Jie Fangcheng's expression was very calm: "Let's see if it's appropriate to play and see if we can get some more points."
Whether he fights or not depends on whether the NPC is worth the beating.
"Damn! He is worthy of being Brother Jie!" Everyone praised.
As they were talking, the two groups passed each other and Ning Suisui's eyes met Zhang Daoan again.
Zhang Daoan looked at "Yan Xiaoqian". The girl hid behind Ning Suisui as if she was shy, only one eye was exposed to look at him.
Jie Fangcheng also watched along.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhang Daoan turned around and said in a voice that both groups of people could hear: "Nothing, I just want to see the difference between the two reds."
