A post appeared on ZERO's built-in forum.
[Subject: According to internal information, the person invited to the Chiba State Banquet is a player]
Under the durian tree: The landlord is an ordinary resident who bought a house in Chiba country. It is very ordinary, just like the bottom circle of the Wang tree. This time, Qianye Lan didn't dare to participate in the rebellion, fearing that the Qianye King's house would be ransacked, so he was lucky enough to see the subsequent development.
I heard from the boss who lives near the palace that this time King Chiba held a banquet right after the rebellion was settled, and it was the highest level for banqueting distinguished guests. Tonic. Who do you think needs this thing the most in the whole continent? Of course it's our players!
What does this mean? This rebellion ended so quickly, there must be a mysterious boss hidden in it!
1L. Melon Field Yiba:
I said that Qianye Lan's rebellion subsided too quickly this time, and the previous rebellion could last at least a week.
2L. Lovely Love:
Wait for the big guy's analysis.
45L. Gold underpants:
I I I I know! I was in the Wangshu before, and when the Snow Vulture team was arresting people, I saw Qianye Lan fall from the Wangshu, and the leaves on her body were burnt.
46L. Drifting:
Grasp the key point, burn it, if this is a fire or thunder type, right? The Wood Spirit Clan doesn't play with fire, obviously it wasn't made by King Qianye.
88L. I am so poor:
Could it be a master of law, or a firearms expert or heavy artillery division
90L. Potion Apprentice replied 88L:
Potions experts disagree, our phlogiston bottles can also be set on fire.
112L. Hunter D replied to 88L:

233L. Insufficient luck:
I would like to borrow this floor to say that those who have joined Qianye Lan's camp must not come to Wang Shu's side now, I have already been arrested and am in prison.
234L. I don't want to see the Xiyue clan in this life:
Fuck!
235L. Orcs are all iron and simple:
Damn it, there is no water forum, I'll sneak out first to show respect! ! !
455L. Melon Field Yiba:
You said, could it be the big guy who fired 22 consecutive fireballs before
456L. The legendary watermelon:
I vote for the boss, the boss is so strong, he will definitely make Qianye Lan roll on the floor.
553L. Do not eat coriander:
I also think it might be that one.

668L. Wakaba replied to 667L:

867L. Ah Ye passed by with a confused face:
Who are you talking about? When there was a big boss I don't know.
878L. Back to 867L with the wind:

888L. Ah Ye passed by with a confused face:
Fuck! I vote for this guy too. Boss is so awesome, single-handed Chiba blue, this is what a macho should look like! ! !
The mysterious boss, the hunk who can single-handed Qianyelan, Xiao Zhi: "..."
Although you guessed the answer correctly, the process is completely different from what you thought.
Some people seem to be big bosses, but in fact their grades are not far from the pass line of the public, and they only use Chiba Blue? Stop dreaming.

At this time, the arrival bell in the airship rang.
Xiao Zhi looked out, and what appeared in front of him was a beautiful seaside city, all the buildings were white and blue intertwined, bathed in bright sunlight, looking light and simple.
This is the capital of the Dolly Alliance - Hilaris, and it is also the city with the most developed trade in the entire Dazemenia continent.
Because Chiba Kingdom is bordered by the Dolly Alliance, Xiao Zhi took the airship and headed this way in order to save the transmission fee. There is no way, although King Qianye gave him experience and a house generously, but he didn't give him money, so from the book point of view, he is still very poor.
I thought I could browse the forums along the way to increase my understanding of this place, but I accidentally ate my own melon along the way.
After getting off the airship, Xiao Zhi followed the directions on the map and walked towards Xinghai Street.
There are a large number of auction houses gathered here, and auctions are held almost every day. Many auction houses provide anonymous transactions, which is very suitable for Xiao Zhi to sell the items in his backpack.
In his backpack, there are many things that were common at the time but are now difficult to obtain, and some have even become out-of-print props.
Xiao Zhi didn't intend to sell those materials that were too rare, but only wanted to sell some materials with a high price increase, which would not attract attention, and would be enough to get him out of the economic crisis.
Suddenly, there was a man in front of Xiao Zhi.
That person has a beautiful appearance, long sea blue hair and blue eyes. From the outside, he is a standard Xiyue clansman.
He was wearing a blue gown made of light gauze, dotted with strings of pearls and shells, looking elegant and agile. The Xiyue family comes from the ocean, and even on land they still like to wear decorations with marine elements.
With a just right smile on his face, this member of the Xiyue tribe bowed slightly to Xiao Zhi.
The Xiyue clan is worthy of being a race rich in beauties. This person's appearance and temperament are pleasing to the eye.
But Xiao Zhi was vigilant.
As we all know, the Xiyue clan is known as "beautiful profiteers" on the mainland. So there is a saying among the players, "Don't underestimate any Xiyue clan", because if you are a little careless, they will cheat you out of your big underpants. It can be said that as long as you dare to believe their nonsense, they dare to make you bankrupt.
In front of the treacherous mainland native race, sometimes the players are really a bunch of idiots.
There was once a player who was young and ignorant, and went offline on the streets of Hilaris. If he was lucky, he was stripped down to a pair of big pants, and if he was unlucky, he was left with a mosaic. In addition, the glorious deed of selling offline players to the Black Mine is also a masterpiece of the Xiyue Clan.
Many players expressed their gratitude to the Xiyue Clan for curing my face control.
But now, a member of the Xiyue clan stood in front of Xiao Zhi and smiled at him. This made Xiao Zhi feel cold all over his body, and couldn't help reaching out to make sure his big underpants were still on.
"Hi sir, my name is Teague." The Xiyue Clan spoke to him, with a gentle tone, with a touch of caring, like... a salesman selling health care products to the elderly.
"It's like this. I found a special mineral in the depths of Hesse, and I happened to have a channel to sell them to a bishop of the Bresse Empire. As you know, the relationship between Bresse and Hesse has always been tense, and there is no There are direct trade links, so reselling like this can be very well paid."
"Now I need the help of an investor, and I can guarantee that you will get a 40% return on investment within three months."
He saluted Xiao Zhi again: "Would you like to be my investor?"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
I always feel this word is very familiar...
Suddenly he thought, isn't this the famous "Ponzi scheme"? !
The operation mode of this kind of scam is to promise high remuneration first, then pay the follow-up investors' money as profits to previous investors, and then use the word-of-mouth of previous investors to attract more investors. Make up the Western Wall. It later evolved into what is known as a pyramid scheme.
Sure enough, all the beauties of the Xiyue Clan went to cheat.
Unexpectedly, in ZERO, an independent world separated from human civilization, such an excellent deception was still born.
Xiao Zhi said decisively: "No thanks, I'm not interested in investing."
Teague's smile remained the same, and there was no displeasure at being rejected. He immediately changed his words: "It doesn't matter. If you don't like investing, I can also provide you with great job opportunities and help you accumulate property."
Xiao Zhi's heart did not fluctuate: "..."
Like digging in a black mine
Teague seemed to read something from his silence. He approached Xiao Zhi and said softly: "If you don't want an ordinary job, I know many ladies. They are very lonely in their normal lives, and they like handsome men very much." Young people accompany them to have fun, and a gentle type like you is very popular with them."
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but widen his eyes: "..."
Does this mean trying to persuade him to go to sea? ! !
As expected, the Xiyue tribe is thinking about the player's underpants in every possible way.
Teague blinked at him: "Of course, they are very generous and allow you to accumulate assets extremely quickly. You only need to pay me 50% of the intermediary fee. Whether it is the lady of the Xiyue clan , noble ladies of the human clan, noble ladies of the orc clan, noble ladies of the wood spirit clan, and even those of the undead clan, I can introduce them to you."
He also added: "If you prefer the nobleman, I can also arrange for you..."
Unexpectedly, this Mr. Teague looks gentle and gentle, but his way is wide and wild! The Xiyue Clan really lived up to their reputation, and there was no limit to profiteers.
"No, no, no, no..." Xiao Zhi, who didn't want to become a lost youth, fled in despair.
The Xiyue Clan is really scary, they can't be too coquettish.
Teague, who was left in place, still smiled: "Then I will see you again, sir."

Having escaped the danger of slipping, Xiao Zhi continued to walk in the direction of Xinghai Street.
As a city famous for its trade, Hilaris is naturally very prosperous. Various merchants' sales promotions can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as lively casinos, orc race arenas, wood spirit medicine shops and flower shops.
Dancers of the Xiyue Clan can be seen performing arts on the streets almost everywhere. Although the Xiyue Clan is full of profiteers, people passing by are still happy to reward them when they see such graceful dancing beauties.
Many players also choose to set up shop here, selling everything from medicine to equipment, from magic items to food stalls, which is quite rich.
Arrived at Xinghai Avenue.
There are auction houses on both sides of the road, and countless people come and go here, looking prosperous.
Xiao Zhi had checked the information before, and chose an auction house with a good reputation among players—Red Moon Society. Apart from auctions, it also buys various items from outside.
As soon as he entered the door, a waiter came up to greet him: "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
Xiao Zhi: "I want to sell some materials. I heard that you can provide anonymous channels, right?"
The waiter nodded, pointed in a direction and said in a low voice, "Yes, please go this way for anonymous transactions. We will keep your information completely confidential."
Following the waiter's guidance, Xiao Zhi came to a separate room, where an old gentleman was already waiting for him. The old man is a human race, wearing the uniform of an appraiser, his hair is neatly combed, and he looks very professional.
Seeing Xiao Zhi come in, the old man nodded politely to him: "Hi, my name is Kohler, what material do you want to sell?"
Xiao Zhi took out a few pieces of dusty ore from his backpack and placed them opposite Mr. Kohler.
Mr. Kohler took it, and put an identification technique on it. After a while, he said with a smile: "Well, Su silver ore is a very good armor material, and there are very few impurities in it. Nowadays, Su silver ore of this quality is rare."
Mr. Kohler looked at Xiao Zhi: "According to the purchase price on the market, these are worth 700,000 gold shells in total. Because the Su silver ore you provided is of excellent quality, the price will increase by 10%, which is 770,000 gold shells. how about?"
Xiao Zhi nodded, expressing his satisfaction with this, the price was even higher than what he found in the player forum.
The transaction went smoothly. Mr. Kohler got up and left for a while, and soon he sent over 770,000 gold shells. During the whole process, Mr. Kohler did not intend to inquire about Xiao Zhi's personal information.
Xiao Zhi put Jin Bei into the game backpack. Facing this magic trick, Mr. Kohler expressed his calmness. After all, everyone on the mainland knows that the Athanasis have their own storage space, which has become a symbol of them just like immortality.
When he was about to leave, Mr. Kohler smiled and said to Xiao Zhi: "Tomorrow, Hilaris will hold the biggest Xinghai Auction of the year. It will be very lively. If you are interested, you can go and see it."
Xiao Zhi used to be obsessed with chopping cubs and had never participated in an auction. He was a little curious: "What will it be like?"
Mr. Kohler smiled: "There are all kinds of treasures on the mainland and secret treasures from various countries. Ordinary things that can be bought with money are not eligible to appear in the Xinghai Auction. If you want to find extinct things , this is the most suitable place on the whole continent.”
Xiao Zhi's heart twitched slightly when he heard "extinct things".
Mr. Kohler: "If you have something you want to sell but are afraid of getting into trouble, Xinghai Auction is a good choice."
Xiao Zhi asked: "How can I participate in the auction?"
Mr. Kohler said: "If you want to participate, you only need an invitation letter. You are my guest, and I can give you one here. However, if you want to provide auction items, you need a referrer with enough weight. About this One point, I can't help you."
In the end, Xiao Zhi left the Red Moon Society with an invitation letter for the Xinghai Auction.
·
Now that Xiao Zhi finally got out of the abyss of poverty, he bought some living supplies and food reserves on Xinghai Street, and helped Qianyewu sweep up a large number of famous teacher textbooks, while thinking about the auction.
The biggest auction in the entire continent is of course a good time for him to sell out-of-print props, but... where can I find the referrer? He didn't know anyone in Hilaris, and a liar missed his underpants.
Before he knew it, Xiao Zhi had wandered into a remote street.
Different from the gorgeous and bustling Xinghai Street, this place looks depressed and desolate, and the people around are obviously dressed in shabby clothes. From time to time, malicious eyes can be seen sweeping across his body, as if looking at how many gold shells he can sell, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Xiao Zhi understands that he may have accidentally walked into those shady areas behind the bustle.
He stopped decisively and prepared to leave here.
At this moment, a muffled groan came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of punching and kicking. The sound of fists and feet hitting people was extremely loud, as if they were killing people.
The people around didn't say anything about it, just went about the matter at hand as if they couldn't hear it.
Xiao Zhi took a few steps forward, carefully glanced at the hidden corner where the sound came from, and found that a tall and strong masked orc was beating a person wearing Xiyue costume.
The people on the ground were almost powerless to resist, but the orc didn't stop. He even grabbed the hair of the man on the ground and slammed into the wall fiercely. Along with the beauty and treachery of the Xiyue Clan, they are also famous for their almost negligible fighting power in melee combat. If this happens, the Xiyue Clan will surely die.
Xiao Zhi thought for a second, although the Xiyue clan had a bad reputation, he really couldn't see a Xiyue clan being beaten to death in front of him like this.
In the next moment, three closely connected fireballs hit the orc's arm.
In order to avoid the attack, the orc couldn't help but let go of the Xiyue tribe's hair. He glanced at Xiao Zhi, the cold eyes of the beast shone with a dangerous light, just when Xiao Zhi thought he would attack him, the beast man stepped back a few steps and disappeared around the corner.
After confirming that the other party would not return, Xiao Zhi stepped forward to check the situation of the Xiyue clan on the ground.
The man's long blue hair was disheveled, stained with a lot of stains, and he looked a bit embarrassed, but he was still breathing, and he looked like he would not die for a while.
Xiao Zhi asked, "Are you okay?"
"Ahem..." The man coughed a few times with difficulty, turned his head and thanked Xiao Zhi: "Thank you for your help, first..."
The moment the man turned his head, the two of them froze at the same time.
Because Xiao Zhi was quite familiar with that face, he had only seen it not long ago, this person not only wanted to cheat him out of money, but also wanted to arrange for him to go to sea—it was Teague.
Teague also froze, but he was still able to speak because of his strong heart trained by years of deception. He forced a smile: "What a coincidence, sir..."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
What's the matter with the urge to make up the knife
Teague seemed to sense the vague killing intent in the air, and relying on his survival instinct, he said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Anyway, even if they were saved, Xiao Zhi couldn't do anything about it. He asked, "What happened to that man just now?"
Teague wiped the blood from his lips, and barely sat up: "He should be a killer, probably sent by a certain investor..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice, and he felt a little guilty. The person in front of him seemed to be an investor he had once favored.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but clenched his staff tightly, otherwise he should call back that orc killer just now, and tell him that I won't bother you if you continue.
Teague hurried to remedy: "Well, I will definitely repay your kindness. I really have a wide network in Hilaris, and I can help you with anything you want. If you are not at ease, I can give you my accompanying Xiyue Orb."
After finishing speaking, he drew a magic circle on his chest, and then a sea blue bead emerged from his chest, Teague held the bead and handed it to Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand to take it.
Teague explained: "The Xiyue Orb is the most important thing for our Xiyue Clan, you can fully grasp my—"
"Well—" Teague didn't finish speaking, and suddenly cried out in pain, clutching his chest and fell down.
Xiao Zhi let go of the beads in his hand: "Sorry, I just wanted to see if you were lying to me."
Teague said weakly: "Can I trouble you to be gentle... If the Xiyue Pearl is broken, I will really die..."
It was only then that Xiao Zhi began to seriously consider his words. If he had a wide network... would he be able to find referrals for him
