Old John ate the dried wild fruit. There was a slight sour taste in his mouth, but after this taste, there was a surprisingly refreshing fragrance.
There are many small fruits like this in the Yagur Mountains. I don’t know who was the first to discover this way of eating them, but it has become popular here.
The war between the gold diggers and the outsiders lasted for half a month and finally came to an end. At least tens of thousands of people died in the Yagul Mountains. This is the main reason why peace talks were able to be promoted.
If many people die, there will always be a few who feel distressed.
Fortunately, now that everyone has resolved some of their differences, it’s time to make money based on their own abilities.
During this time, Old John became more and more famous and achieved what must be considered a small achievement. Some people began to call him Owl John to highlight his characteristics.
Just like the eagle eye has better eyes, a grizzly bear has a record of killing a grizzly bear with his bare hands. Old John is respected as an owl because he can always hear those small sounds.
The nickname may not be so pleasant to the ear, but it is a very great honor for gold diggers. Any gold digger who is given a recognized prefix is a great person.
Old John himself never thought that one day he would be treated like this, at least he had not thought of it before.
In addition to Old John, there are dozens of gold diggers with recognized honorifics, which gives the gold diggers a deeper sense of identity.
The camp outside Yagul Mountain has always been established to serve gold prospectors. Naturally, Old John, who has become more famous, has become more popular here. Some subtle differences that are not experienced in daily life also gradually appear.
The most obvious thing is that when he pushed the shutter door hard, the bartender would not warn him not to come in the future. Even the fee for testing the actual combat capabilities of the senior technicians on the second floor was reduced by two yuan.
In the words of the bar owner, it is the honor of the bar and the bar owner that a "legendary gold digger" can always patronize this bar.
"Owl, I..."
Before the visitor finished speaking, Old John glanced at the man and said, "You can call me Old John, or call me Owl John, but please don't call me Owl directly."
I don’t know who came up with this title. Although it is an honor, it always makes people feel weird. It is far less nice than Hawkeye, Grizzly Bear, Wall and the like.
The visitor laughed and sat next to Old John, then handed the bartender two dollars and tilted his head slightly. The bartender brought two glasses of wine, one of which was placed in front of Old John.
"We can go into the mountains the day after tomorrow. If you don't have a companion, you can consider me." The man who invited Old John to drink looked like he was in his thirties and a little dirty. In fact, gold diggers are like this.
He has a shaved head, is tall and burly, and has a loud voice.
This sentence made many people in the bar turn their attention to this place, waiting for Old John's reply.
In fact, Old John was also very irritable. From the first time he came back after the negotiation, some regulars in the bar invited him to go into the mountains with him.
In the previous war, the gold diggers had already experienced the benefits of team operation. At least they could carry more things and were not afraid of interception by small groups of enemies, which greatly improved their safety factor.
Although those very famous gold diggers who have become legendary gold diggers hope that everyone will still abide by the rules of the past and not form a stable team, this time they did not say anything.
After all, the gold diggers still don't believe those outsiders who came later. If someone sneaks into the mountains quietly at a time that does not belong to them, robs them and leaves through other exits, they will really not be discovered. , there is nothing we can do.
Therefore, the trend of team formation began to gradually spread, and many people were actively planning to bring those powerful characters into their own teams.
Old John is one of them.
He quickly vetoed the first inviter. Are you kidding me, a gold digger who has already made a name for himself will join their low-class team
It's not that Old John looked down upon the team in this bar. There were only two or three really powerful people, excluding himself. He was only willing to team up with those two or three people.
After rejecting one invitation after another, when a guy he thought was qualified to form a team with him applied to him, he unexpectedly found that he couldn't agree.
The gold diggers in the surrounding bars were all waiting for Old John to say his rejection with the expression of watching a good show. When he kept rejecting invitations from one person after another, it was destined that he would not be able to become a member of this bar, or even any team nearby. a member of.
People's thinking is very simple. I invited you but you didn't agree. This may be the reason why I didn't catch your eye. As more and more people are rejected, this idea will become an ironclad rule. But what would people think if suddenly someone like the rejected person got Old John's answer
Old John rejected us because we were not famous, but another unknown person invited him, and he actually agreed. We are no different from the inviters. We are all messing around and have no reputation, but why did Old John choose him
Because Old John looks down on us!
As long as he agrees, many negative rumors about him will soon spread throughout the camp. Despising and looking down on the gold diggers is definitely the first one. Later, he will also add that he has poor skills and can only stay in the pit for thirty seconds, or other It's like a rumor about being fucked.
Never underestimate the ambition of gold diggers, nor overestimate their moral standards.
Under the spotlight, Old John rejected the most suitable teammates, and then sat here and rejected wave after wave.
He took out a dollar and gave it to the bartender, then raised his head and wiped his mouth with the wine glass, burped, and pressed the empty wine glass on the table with a bang.
"Sorry, everyone knows that I am a lone wolf. I am used to going into the mountains alone." He explained, then put on his hat and left the bar.
The bar has returned to a lively atmosphere, with people singing and dancing, and they will never notice the long shadow outside the bar.
On Monday, Old John was still a lone wolf. After checking all the equipment, he rode his horse and slowly integrated into the mountains and forests.
At the same time, Savi, who entered the mountains from other places, was arranging the tasks assigned to him by Du Lin. Originally, Du Lin had terminated the plan, and the gold diggers were all killed in the Yagur Mountains. The result was inexplicable. The peace talks brought the plan back online.
In fact, the content of the plan is very simple, that is, to selectively kill important figures among the gold diggers. Without these people, no one can suppress this group.
Very simple, but very practical.
Originally, there was no basis of trust between the two groups. As long as they lost some people who could maintain the situation, the two sides would start fighting again!
