This person!
Ning Suisui first glanced at Zhou Heqi vaguely.
Zhou Heqi was still immersed in the fantasy that he had two powerful fighters and was about to become successful and become the most powerful team in this copy, when another powerful team came towards him.
Ronghua Union.
The Ronghua Guild, which originally had the largest number of players, was already a strong new force in the dungeon. Even if the strength of these players was downgraded, didn’t we still have Ning Suisui, who had a good relationship with Nie Shuangshuang
But Jie Fangcheng's performance of rushing towards the NPC just now really shocked everyone.
Shit! What kind of player is this? Is this a player? Is this the big boss of this dungeon
Zhou Heqi's brain wasn't rusty. When he passed by Ronghua's people, he nodded to Jie Fangcheng with a smile on his face.
Hearing what Zhang Daoan said, Zhou Heqi was stunned for a moment: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Ning Suisui suddenly became nervous.
Zhou Heqi stood in front of Yan Xiaoqian, his face looked serious: "Don't be a hooligan, I tell you!"
Zhang Daoan: “…”
Nie Shuangshuang immediately turned her head to look at Zhang Daoan's expression.
After getting to know Professor Zhang, although he seemed quite polite most of the time, Nie Shuangshuang could inexplicably feel that he seemed to be trying to trick her.
Compared with his genuine kindness towards Jie Fangcheng, the kindness he showed to others was somewhat fake.
This is a man with vicious means and extremely good at disguise.
At this moment, Zhou Heqi's words caused a subtle look to emerge on Zhang Daoan's face, and his gaze towards Zhou Heqi became quite disgusted.
He looked at Ning Suisui and nodded politely: "Good vision."
Zhou Heqi drew his weapon.
Although he had obtained the top-grade [Halberd of Poseidon], no matter how powerful the weapon was, it still required adaptation and running-in. In an emergency, he was the first to draw out his most commonly used two-handed axe, looking at Zhang Daoan majestically.
The union members behind him also drew their weapons, and Xiao Ba even pushed Yan Xiaoqian behind him.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Qian! Even though we are not on the standings, we are still quite strong!"
The other side had all drawn their weapons. Although they had no idea what was going on, the people on Ronghua's side also took out weapons from their backpacks, asking as they did so, "What's going on? What happened? Why is there a fight?"
Jie Fangcheng followed suit. He first protected Zhang Daoan behind him, then stuck his stick on the ground. His expression was also blank, but the movement of preparing for a fight was quite skillful.
The two groups were at loggerheads near the front desk where boat fares were processed. The surrounding players didn't understand what was going on and just stood around to watch the show.
Even Ning Suisui was surprised by this development. She was stunned for a moment and waved her hands frantically: "It's okay! He didn't mean that!"
They are all smart people, and Ning Suisui knows very well what Zhang Daoan meant by these two sentences.
Although she didn't know how she was exposed, it was obvious that this person couldn't have any interest in them.
Zhou Heqi was skeptical: "Really?"
Ning Suisui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Of course it's true!"
Since the real boss said so, Zhou Heqi hesitantly put away his weapon.
Zhang Daoan suddenly popped his head out from behind Jie Fangcheng and looked at Ning Suisui: "Come on."
Although Zhou Heqi had no idea what the guy was talking about, he could vaguely sense that the guy opposite him was being sarcastic.
He immediately took out the axe again and stood on tiptoe to look behind Jie Fangcheng with a fierce look: "Brother, please move aside and let the guy behind you speak up! What does he mean?!"
Ning Suisui was about to collapse.
"Brother, please stop talking!"
Her method required speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. The longer it took, the more disadvantageous it was for them. Not only was the risk of being exposed greater, but the numbers of the players with lower and higher scores that she had just memorized in the hall could change at any time. A minute later, those with low scores might have raised their scores through other means.
Did this guy do this on purpose? Is he seeking revenge
Revenge for what Ning Sui Sui was planning to do to them yesterday
Damn it!
Ning Suisui really didn't expect how this group of people could sneak into this copy.
"Alright, let's go!" Ning Suisui forcibly pulled the man away, and lectured him as they walked, "You showed off your weapons like that, but don't you see who's standing in the front of the group? Even if that guy is so annoying, look at the guy in front of him! The NPC couldn't even withstand his two sticks and flew away, and you're still yelling at his boyfriend? I say, big brother, how can you be more arrogant than me, the seventh on the list?"
"Boyfriend? What boyfriend?"
Ning Sui Sui said, "You can't even tell that? Come on, Xixi, tell him how to tell the difference between a straight man and a gay man!"
They were talking and walking away, their voices drifting into the ears of the people behind them. They could only vaguely hear words like "show weapons", "boyfriend", and "can't bear it", which was very strange.
Jie Fangcheng turned around and asked, "Who are they talking about?"
"I don't know." Zhang Daoan glanced at him, then directed as if nothing had happened, "Let's go and check at the front desk."
Jie Fangcheng scratched his head.
Everyone swarmed to the front desk.
Those who were originally preparing to pay for the boat fare nearby now moved away, ready to see what insights this big brother had.
Xie Fangcheng did not disappoint everyone: "I don't want to hand in the marks."
He said.
The receptionist still smiled and said, "You and your friends don't have to make friends."
"Huh?" Jie Fangcheng was surprised.
Nie Shuangshuang explained to him: "The NPCs in the fifth-level dungeon are very smart and flexible. They obviously found that you are not easy to mess with, so they simply don't mess with you."
Jie Fangcheng suddenly realized: "It's indeed quite flexible. The NPCs in the first-level book were almost scared to death by me and still had to come and go through the process."
This refers to the first dungeon he experienced, [Blue Mountain Mental Hospital]. In that dungeon, the NPCs looked terrified when they saw him, as if they had seen a ghost, but their behavior could not be inconsistent with the dungeon settings.
The NPCs in the fifth-level copies can not only consider the current situation and act accordingly, but obviously, the rights they have are also higher than those in lower-level copies.
Not only did the front desk staff become extremely respectful, they also took the initiative to show them the way.
"Our top-class restaurant is now open to you and your friends. Please go to the east area on the third floor to enjoy the food. Your room and your friends' room have also been moved to the third floor. This is a small compensation from our cruise ship. You don't need to pay for these. Please feel free to use them."
There is such a good thing?!
Not to mention Ronghua's players, all the players watching around were in an uproar.
They all knew that the NPCs in the level 5 dungeon were very intelligent, and sometimes certain things done by strong players might not trigger the killing rules, but weak players would be thrown out to feed the dogs on the spot.
But that only applies to “high-level players won’t be hunted down easily”.
When have you ever seen an NPC be so friendly to a player? And even take the initiative to improve the player's status level?
Is this the top player
The NPC's attitude was too kind, making it difficult for Jie Fangcheng to find an excuse.
He could only cough: "But my score is low, and I want to get more."
! !
What kind of speech is this!
This is a robber, right
How could someone go to a hotel and, after the hotel provides free food and accommodation, still have the audacity to ask the hotel for more money
Especially Jie Fangcheng's matter-of-fact look of proficiency made everyone even more surprised.
What did this person do before? How could he say such things so calmly and without changing his expression
The front desk was stunned.
"Ah... Sorry, distinguished guest, we are just some front desk staff. We have no right to do this in this matter."
"Oh, you captains have the rights, right?"
The NPC nodded: "Yes, but our captain is not on board at the moment."
The butler said in the morning that he was on the fifth floor, but now he is no longer on the boat.
This NPC is really intelligent and can even lie.
Jie Fangcheng didn't make things difficult for the receptionists. He nodded and said, "Okay."
As they spoke, Jie Fangcheng and Ronghua's people decided to go up to check out the third floor and the fifth floor as well.
Just as they took two steps out, a surprised shout came from behind them: "What? Why is it forty-five? Isn't it thirty?"
The explanation from the front desk was heard by everyone in Ronghua without missing a word.
"I'm really sorry, sir. We have limited resources on board, and the fare is also a guarantee for everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now under special circumstances, we can only charge an additional 15 points from each of the next 44 guests who will pay. Please understand."
Forty-four guests, each person will be charged an extra fifteen cents.
This was obviously to make up for the boat fare that the twenty-two people of Ronghua did not pay.
Someone immediately started to shout in dissatisfaction: "This is not fair! Your rules clearly state that it is thirty per person per day! If anyone doesn't pay, you can ask him to collect it. Why are you charging us more?"
The receptionist just continued to bow and apologize: "Sorry sir, this is the latest regulation. We are just ordinary receptionists and are only responsible for enforcing the regulations. Please understand."
Someone directly called out to Ronghua's people.
"Boss Wei, you Ronghua can't cheat us ordinary players like this, right? How about you make up the points?"
Someone immediately agreed.
"That's right. Thirty is just right for everyone. We can't ask everyone to fill in your blanks, right?"
"I only have about thirty cents, and I haven't found the boat fare for tomorrow yet. If you ask me to pay forty-five, isn't that like forcing me to die right now?"
"Boss Wei, we are not asking you to pay more points. We just hope that you can pay what you should pay. Is this not too much?"
Wei Yuan looked at Jie Fangcheng for help.
Jie Fangcheng caught his gaze and slammed his stick to the ground.
"If you want to make friends or not, don't be so nagging."
Originally everyone dared to say something, but after he hit it with the stick, no one present said a word.
Players who can come to the level 5 dungeon all have their own plans in mind. Originally, they wanted to negotiate with the Ronghua Guild because they were famous for being easy to talk to. But now they realize that Ronghua is indeed no longer the same Ronghua as before.
Wei Yuan was a little surprised by Jie Fangcheng's blow with the stick.
In his heart, although Jie Fangcheng was a bit violent and irritating, he was generally a very easy-going and friendly person.
Wei Yuan looked at him for help, also wanting to ask Fang Cheng to beat the NPC.
As a result, he directly intimidated players indiscriminately.
Wei Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jie, don't you care?"
"What do you care about?" asked Jie Fangcheng.
Xie Fangcheng asked: "How to manage it?"
"Kill the NPC?"
Jie Fangcheng was surprised: "You are such a violent person."
"… "
Zhang Daoan said, "What's the point of beating up these front desk NPCs? The new rule is to charge 45 points. Killing these front desk NPCs doesn't mean they don't have to pay. On the contrary, without the front desk, they won't be able to pay and will most likely be asked to leave the ship."
"But... after all, we didn't pay, so we passed it on to them."
Zhang Daoan asked back: "Did we propose not to pay the points and let the other players pay for us?"
"… no."
"It was the NPC that changed the rules and asked the next 44 players to pay 15 more points, not us who asked them to change the rules. You have to understand this logic," Zhang Daoan looked at him, "NPC wanted to collect points, but they couldn't beat Manager Jie. There are many ways to solve this problem. NPC chose to use other players as guns to attack us. It's like you are in a company with a salary of 5,000, but this month an employee has good business performance, so the company decided to pay him 8,000, and then find you and tell you that because this employee was paid 8,000, the company can only pay you 2,000. Are you going to find the employee who was paid 8,000 and ask him to return 3,000 to you?"
Wei Yuan was still a little hesitant.
Zhang Daoan just gestured to him: "Do you think they don't know that the NPC is using them as a gun? Do you think they don't know that the NPC is deliberately making things difficult for them? No, it's because they think that resisting the NPC will not end well, but there will be no problem in snatching from Ronghua's people. Even if Manager Jie is so powerful, they will still be more afraid of the NPC."
Wei Yuan followed his gaze and looked in that direction, then sighed.
Having been in this game for so long, how could he not know why these players do this.
"So has everything we've been doing been wrong?" Wei Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"No." Zhang Daoan denied it firmly, "What you did was right."
Wei Yuan couldn't figure it out.
Nie Shuangshuang retorted: "Brother, can you please stop asking such philosophical questions? It's enough for us to be as brainless as Brother Jie."
Jie Fangcheng was depressed: "Hey! Can you at least say something bad about me behind my back?"
Nie Shuangshuang chuckled: "Let's go, let's go and try what delicious food we have today."
But everyone's footsteps still looked very heavy, and even Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help but look back.
Jie Fangcheng took two steps and couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore, so he coughed.
"How about... we go see what to eat later?"
Everyone nodded immediately: "Yes, yes!"
Everyone stood in a corner far away from the front desk, ready to see what would happen.
Zhang Daoan glanced at him.
Jie Fangcheng touched his nose and explained in a low voice: "Look, everyone is obviously very concerned about the follow-up development. They can't even eat well after returning. It's not easy for you to lead this team."
Zhang Daoan nodded slightly: "That makes sense, I'm just a little surprised."
"ah?"
Zhang Daoan smiled politely: "I thought Manager Xie's soft-heartedness was something that only happens once in a few hundred years, but it turns out that it actually happens quite often."
Xie Fangcheng: “…”
This kid...
At this moment, some players gathered near the front desk seemed to have reached some consensus. A total of twenty-three people stood at the front desk, urging other players to pay the boat fee.
This newly released rule is really cunning. It is not that the last 44 players who pay have to pay 15 points more each, but that the first 44 players after Jie Fangcheng and others pay have to pay 15 points more. Naturally, everyone wants to be the last customer to pay.
There are now ninety-nine remaining players, of which Jie Fangcheng and his friends account for twenty-two. Excluding the seven players including Ning Suisui who have just paid, there are seventy players who have not paid yet. Forty-four of them have fifteen points more, and only twenty-six players only need to pay thirty points.
At this time, twenty-three players have formed a team, and the leader is also a well-known high-level player.
"Please don't delay here. There is no other way. The rules are here. Please pay the 45 points before 8:30. We will start processing the payment after 8:30. And," Liu Guangming glanced at the other players around him, "if you come to pay after 8:30, we will not allow you to pay."
After all, there are twenty-three of them, and there might be players who want to take advantage of those three spots.
They had also planned for these three places, and at this time Liu Guangming decisively dispelled the lucky mentality of the players around him.
"Two of us will also pay forty-five cents."
Five spots are vacant.
There was no need to ask who these five places were given to, because soon, Yan Xiaotong came over with the remaining four members of the Golden Leopard Team.
When they arrived at the scene, Liu Guangming immediately came up to them and quickly explained the current situation.
Yan Xiaotong looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh, President Liu means that you have reserved five places for us so that we can rest assured and only pay 30 points?"
"That's right!" Liu Guangming had his own ideas when he tried to win over Yan Xiaotong.
The seven people he brought with him were all quite strong, but no one had cleared this copy in history, so their "strong strength" was questionable.
We need the help of an expert.
Speaking of experts, there is indeed an expert among the players who beat the NPC so hard that he cried for his parents in the morning.
But this is useless. That person belongs to Ronghua, and they have more than 20 people. If these seven people seek cooperation with Ronghua, will they cooperate or become the other party's vassal
Fortunately, what happened just now made most of the players complain about Ronghua. When those players were nagging at Ronghua’s people, Liu Guangming had already used his brain quickly and put together a team of 23 people.
In this team, Liu Guangming and his team are the strongest, and the remaining players are from three guilds. In this short period of time, the twenty-three people have begun to make friends with each other.
After all, it seems that Ronghua will not pay the thirty yuan boat fee in the future, and their cooperative relationship may last for quite a long time.
Yan Xiaotong glanced from behind Liu Guangming.
Liu Guangming and his team stood on the right side of the front desk. On the left side, individual players and players from other guilds had angry expressions on their faces. Some players did not have enough points, and they had paid a price to find players willing to pay on their behalf, but the points suddenly increased by half, and many people immediately regretted their payment.
These players with insufficient points were filled with panic and madness, and looked at Liu Guangming with hatred in their eyes.
Liu Guangming still felt that he had won the game, and he acted very elegantly: "Miss Yan, do you have enough points? Do you need my help? It's not a payment on your behalf. I can find a player with a similar score to yours and give you some of the difference as a gift for our cooperation."
Yan Xiaotong said "Oh" and looked at him playfully.
"So, President Liu, you have plenty of points."
Liu Guangming smiled: "Not bad."
"That's perfect." Yan Xiaotong asked the front desk, "Hello, I want to ask, do forty-four players have to pay forty-five each to fill the vacancies of those people in Ronghua Guild?"
The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant: "The instructions we received were like this."
"Can't each person pay 60 cents?" She blinked. "60 cents will be collected faster!"
The front desk staff looked at each other, and Liu Guangming was stunned, feeling that something was wrong: "Ms. Yan, what do you mean?"
Yan Xiaotong was originally standing in the middle, but now she and her team members took two steps back to the left.
Behind her, forty-two players stood there, and she stood in front of this huge group of more than forty people.
"What I mean is, why don't you 23 players with high points and good relationships pay 60 points each, and the rest of us should follow the original rules and pay 30 points. After all, President Liu is so generous, I think he doesn't mind paying more points for everyone, right? Oh, if each of you pays 60 points, only 22 people will have to pay 60, and one person can pay only 30. Are you the lucky one? President Liu?"
Originally, Liu Guangming dared to form a team of 23 people because, firstly, they were all guild players, and Liu Guangming himself and his team members were quite strong; secondly, he thought Yan Xiaotong would definitely stand on his side.
After all, he planned it well. The more than 40 players standing there looked like a lot of people, but in fact they were a group of scattered sand.
There were both individual players and guild players, and there were no well-known high-level players. However, everyone on their side was united and took the initiative to reserve seats for Yan Xiaotong and the others.
But he never expected...
"you!"
At this point, the NPC interrupted their argument: "I'm sorry ma'am, the orders we received cannot be changed."
Yan Xiaotong nodded, still looking at Liu Guangming and the others opposite.
"Now, please pay the boat fare and leave before half past eight."
"Yan Xiaotong, do you know what you are talking about?" Liu Guangming really couldn't understand. "You don't need to pay 45 points to join us, but you are on the other side against us. Even if all 23 of us pay 45 points, 11 of you still have to pay 45 points! Can you be sure that you don't have to pay 45 points?"
Yan Xiaotong smiled contemptuously: "We do need some players to pay 45 points. Don't worry, my companions and I will pay first. As for the others, please don't bother President Liu Guangming. Please pay the boat fee first. If you don't pay the boat fee, I will attack you. Of course, there are 23 of you, so your strength should not be underestimated."
Yan Xiaotong looked at the players standing behind her.
At this time, these players who were originally standing scattered seemed to have found their backbone, with Yan Xiaotong as the core, and stood behind her.
Yan Xiaotong asked loudly: "Would you like to help me later
"Yes! Of course!"
"Of course! Thank you, Miss Yan!"
There was a chorus of support behind her.
Yan Xiaotong turned to Liu Guangming and said, "Pay the boat fee."
In the corner, Nie Shuangshuang watched in amazement.
Then she turned her head suddenly.
Beside him, Zhang Daoan had a calm expression on his face, as if he had expected this.
"Did you know this earlier?" Nie Shuangshuang asked.
I have completed several dungeons with this guy. Although Zhang Daoan's methods are cruel, looking at the clearance rate of the dungeons he participated in, except for the players who crossed the moral high line, he has made clear arrangements for the other players and will not send people to death for no reason.
Nie Shuangshuang felt something was wrong with this man's indifference. Now looking at his indifferent expression, she was 99% sure that charging the boat fee would not kill the players.
When she asked this, Zhang Daoan did not explain, but just said "probably".
Nie Shuangshuang opened her mouth and suddenly looked at Fang Cheng again.
Nie Shuangshuang was filled with sorrow: "Brother Jie, why do I feel like we are the only ones without brains?"
Jie Fangcheng pulled out his stick, his expression calm: "Don't say that, I can really make you lose your mind."
