"I've never heard of this optical cable you mentioned."
Forgive Hat thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find anything related to this in so much NPC information.
Riben Guizi was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up.
"Very good! Challenging tasks are interesting... When it comes to solving puzzles, our retard team is the best, right?"
"really!"
"Decryption? Is it difficult with our posts?"
"Do you know how brain-burning the questions that only a mentally ill person can think of are?"
"Haha~ I burned my brains out to join this team."
"Let's go! My mighty little brain is already warming up!"
The group of people were determined to find the end of the optical cable.
The person next to him pouted inexplicably, in a sound that only he could hear.
"A group of wise people..."
Forgiveness Hat: "Wait a minute! I seem to remember something... maybe it's related to this."
He has completely become a life player. He doesn't pay attention to combat and leveling up, but runs his own business sector in this "game world".
Moreover, with his professional experience as an errand boy, he is able to sensitively capture a lot of information.
Forgiveness Hat took out a small book from his office, on which were written four big words:
Suspected Mission Clues
Seeing the curious looks from others, Forgiveness Hat explained: "Oh, this is some unusual information I found from various things in my daily life, and then I wrote it down. As for the game... you never know which sentence is the hidden task?"
Bang!
Inexplicably, he slammed the table.
"Well said! I admire your rigor!"
Forgiveness Hat: "..."
"He... is with you?"
Riben Guizi: "Um... we came back together, but I'm not sure what he wants to do. Ignore him. Go on, what suspicious clues?"
After looking through it for a while, Forgiveness Hat found 3 messages.
Point it out to Riben Guizi.
"Look... These are three strange incidents I recorded. They were from three different wealthy people in Colossus City, of different ages, different industries, and different networks."
"They mentioned in their chats at the drinking parties that the Colossus City had a close relationship with the soldiers in the past... But every time they brought up this topic, their companions would quickly change the subject and warn them not to talk about it."
"I didn't pay much attention to it once, but it happened several times afterwards. I feel like there might be a story behind it. What do you think?"
Riben Guizi: "This..."
"Isn't this normal? This used to be the territory of the Inquisitor. The Crusaders killed the Inquisitor and seized this place, and they became enemies with the soldiers. So the city lord doesn't like others to mention this matter. It's a taboo topic, right?"
Forgiveness Hat shook his head: "Then I don't know... I'll give you an idea, and you can do the rest on your own."
After thinking about it for a while, Riben Guizi and his men came to a conclusion.
"Thanks for the information! At least now we know who to contact to find out about this matter... Maybe they were involved in the previous fiber optic cable project, or know where the previous communication points were."
After eating and drinking, Riben Guizi and his group took the intelligence and set out to look for the three people.
"You're not leaving?"
Please forgive me for asking the inexplicable question while I am still sitting in the store.
I hesitated for a moment...
"Give me another plate of salamander."
Forgiveness Hat: "Awesome! You can really eat!"
Mo Ming didn't say anything. Besides eating, he also needed to organize his thoughts.
Others may think that he followed recklessly, but actually... he also has his own ideas and really wants to complete this task. He always feels that it is impossible to complete this kind of puzzle task by relying on the people in the mentally retarded team.
"And... this matter may not be as simple as they think."
"Didn't they notice that there was an unusual atmosphere in this Colossus City?"
"I smell it! It's..."
“Stir-fried lizard is here~”
After the chef brought the food, Mengming put aside his thoughts and started eating.
In reality, someone of his class has never eaten such delicious food. Even though he didn’t feel full in the game, the enjoyment of the taste still remains in his mind.
The other side.
Riben Guizi and ten other people have arrived outside the first villa.
The person who appeared in the Forgiveness Hat's notes was called Huang Haowen. He was an architect. He had a very good relationship with a congressman in Colossus City and had considerable influence.
"Everyone, please be careful when you communicate later. Think more and analyze more. This is a puzzle task. You need to use your brain. Do you understand?"
Bang!
After instructing his teammates, Riben Guizi kicked the door open.
"Where's Huang Haowen?! Come out here!"
All the younger brothers: "6!"
"As expected of a young bar owner!"
"The smart genes have basically been eliminated."
Ten players suddenly barged in, startling everyone inside.
A group of guards rushed out from around the yard, and among them the one guarding the gate was actually a first-level transcendent!
The leader, dressed in a black suit, jumped down from the second floor and landed on the ground, splashing up a cloud of gravel.
At first glance, he is a martial artist with immense strength.
"Sir... who are you? Why are you breaking into our Huang's house? What do you want to do with our Mr. Huang?"
Riben Guizi: "May I ask you... If I grow to level 6, and my HP is the same as the plateau, and I start with a normal attack, how will you respond?"
Team leader:
He knows each of these words, but when they are put together... what does it mean
"Take them all down first!"
He could see that there were transcendents on the other side, but... they were all first-order transcendent elites, and their numbers outnumbered these desperate intruders, so they could be easily defeated.
The players were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! They actually want to take action first!"
"No, Liang Jingru is singing the war song at your house?"
"To be honest... I can't even bear to do it. Will I be labeled a red card for killing someone in the city? I won't be put in solitary confinement, right?"
"What are you afraid of? He can break out after being locked up. Agent Feng broke out alone and brought someone with him. Who among us can't beat 10 Agent Fengs back then?"
Hitoshi Keiko: "Indeed... In the face of power, no skills are of any use."
After saying that, his hands flashed, and he instantly took out a small shield and an energy ice revolver from his back and waist.
These first-order evolvers are like powerful gods in front of ordinary people, but in front of these level 40 players... they are like children playing house.
Every look, expression, and muscle movement of the person who pounced on him was seen clearly.
At this moment, Riben Guizi finally understood why masters could always attack from the best position.
Your movements are like slow motion in his eyes. He only needs to find your weakness and attack at an extremely fast speed to take you down directly.
Bang bang bang!
Riben Guizi shook his right hand quickly, and the energy gun fired a large number of bullets in an instant!
These evolvers who pounced over were knocked down instantly as if they had hit a wall of air.
He swung out with his left hand shield, knocking two martial artists away and then bouncing them back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As for those who were not hit, other teammates took action and kicked them away.
From the time they attacked to the time they fell to the ground, it took less than 5 seconds.
The fight was over before the leader's expression had time to change from the joy of having won the victory to the sorrow of having lost a parent.
"Ah~ It hurts, my arm is broken."
"Poof! I broke several ribs..."
"ah!
! Puff puff puff! "
A group of people rolled on the ground in pain.
Riben Guizi said, "Now, can Huang Haowen come out? I just want to ask him a few questions and then leave."
Gudong~
The leader of the martial arts team looked at the scene in front of him and swallowed subconsciously. His tense muscles softened a little and his knee bones bent a little involuntarily.
"Dear... Seniors, let's talk. Our CEO Huang is not at home today. How about... I go find him? Ask him to come back and talk to you?"
"Then we'll follow you. If you can't find it in 10 minutes, we'll remove all five of your legs."
The team leader's face turned green when he heard this and he subconsciously looked upstairs.
“That’s enough!”
There was a sound coming from upstairs, and a man in his 40s popped his head out from the third floor.
"Don't embarrass Old Xu. I, Huang Haowen, am right here. Come to me if you have any grudges. Don't attack the guards and family members..."
Huang Haowen spoke decently, but his body was completely limp.
At this point, he can no longer hide away.
He walked down from the third floor with sweat all over his forehead.
Riben Guizi was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing? I don't intend to kill you. I just want to ask you a few questions."
Huang Haowen: "What's the problem? I just want my family to be spared..."
His face was still tense, as if he had already thought of many bad consequences.
"First of all, don't put us in the shoes of your enemies. We are just passing by to complete a mission... Forget it, there is no point in telling you so much. Do you know where the optical cable interface connecting the Colossus City and the Soldier Base is?"
Huang Haowen: "Uh? You don't know the location of the optical cable?"
"I know, but why am I asking you? Do you know? You dare to hide it from us... You know the consequences."
"Ohhh! Okay, okay, then I know!"
He let out a long sigh and relaxed a lot.
"Tell me now!"
Riben Guizi was very excited. She didn't expect to find the key person so easily!
Based on his many years of experience in playing games, he knows that at least one person has to go to the end to get specific information. This game is good and it doesn't deliberately trick players into wasting their time!
Huang Haowen wiped the sweat from his forehead and straightened his back, looking like a successful businessman.
"I do know the location of the interface of this optical cable... You have found the right person. We are in the construction industry and we know the major lines in Colossus City best."
He started talking to Riben Guizi.
"This optical cable... is in the City Lord's Mansion! The exact location is... Old Xu, bring me a pen."
"Okay~"
Seeing that the situation was under control, Old Xu became more energetic.
This kind of ups and downs made him feel instantly... how great it is to be alive.
Huang Haowen is worthy of being an architect. The map he drew is very realistic. He even showed how to get to the City Lord's Mansion from here. The service is really excellent.
After drawing the location for them, Huang Haowen asked tentatively: "Why are you looking for this? As far as I know, since the inheritance was gone, this route has been abandoned. Could it be that... the soldiers want to establish diplomatic relations with Colossus City again?"
"Do they need someone to build a house? I can pay with crystals."
"My people are best at fighting tough battles! They are efficient, fast, and of high quality!"
Riben Guizi was quite surprised to see Huang Haowen actively promoting his construction team.
"You are...quite hardworking~"
"Oh! Ask for food for the brothers! If you need it... I will build a house for you for free. At first sight, I felt that you looked like my grandpa when he was young."
"Awesome! I'll find you if I need anything next time."
Riben Guizi left with his men.
"This person... has quite a lot of lines. Could he be the one who triggers the hidden mission?"
He shook his head and didn't care much. In the initial town of Colossus City, he felt that he no longer had anything to want.
"Hurry up and finish the mission, then go to the southern front battlefield."
"Yes, they have more experience over there!"
"I heard you can ride a bird over there? That's cool. I've never ridden a bird before..."
The little girl said in a long-winded and dark voice: "It's better if you just ride in the physical sense."
"Fuck! When did you get here?"
"I'm always here, I just don't talk much and I'm passively invisible, so you can't see me..."
Riben Guizi counted the people and found that she had indeed brought Loli Laosuo with her.
I said to myself: "It's so weird... I don't see it normally, but it suddenly comes out, it's so scary~"
"Boss, can we take over the City Lord's Mansion? We can't force our way in this time, right?"
"Uh... According to the information given by Green Hat Brother, the city lord and the bishop of the Cross Church are both at the peak of the third level, not yet at the fourth level... We should be able to defeat them, right?"
"It's hard to say... According to the conversion rules of the peak team, if we don't have top-quality equipment and top-quality pets at level 40, we'll probably be about the same as the stronger third-order evolvers in the game."
"After all, he is the city lord, and he has many followers. Who knows, he may have some top-notch equipment. Maybe our fighting power is not enough?"
Riben Guizi hesitated for a while.
"Indeed! We can't use force anymore."
The team members just breathed a sigh of relief.
Riben Guizi continued, "Let's call more people to come together and use force. Forget it. Let's just take down the City Lord's Mansion and put this city under our natural disaster base. The lord will definitely be very happy!"
Teammates: “… ”
"Boss, are you kidding me? Say something. Don't shake me, I'm scared."
... ...
At Huang Haowen's house, these injured guards were finally healed by the mysterious specialist and ranger specialist players in Riben Guizi's team, and they have almost recovered.
"Old Xu, what level of evolvers are they? Are there... level three?"
When Old Xu heard this, he almost suffocated.
"I, Old Xu, am known as the invincible martial artist below level 2 in Colossus City. I am a top martial artist who dares to fight back even a level 3 martial artist. The opponent is definitely at the peak of level 3! He is totally fucked!"
"We are no match at all!"
"Hiss~" Huang Haowen took a breath, and then excitement appeared in his eyes.
"It's good to be stronger! It's great!"
"And he's a principled man... We can make friends with him, and maybe he can help us avoid that crisis."
"Especially since their goal seems to be..."
Bang!
The door was kicked open for no apparent reason.
"Who's Huang Haowen? Come out here!"
Huang Haowen: “???”
Old Xu gave Mo Ming a look.
"His steps are weak, his belly is bloated, his muscles are flabby, he doesn't have the temperament of a martial artist, he is definitely not a high-level martial artist!"
But he still asked cautiously: "Do you... have any friends coming with you?"
"I'm alone, what's wrong?"
"oh?"
Old Xu grinned and winked at his men.
"Then you're going to suffer today!"
"Today I will let you know that the Huang family is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please!"
"Brothers, take it... down!"
Rest~
Mengming whistled and raised his hand to summon a yard full of pets.
"What did you say?"
