Recently, there have been many unfamiliar faces in the town. This is known to many residents of the central town. There are even some witnesses who swear that these people are brave men from the summoning circle.
These so-called "heroes" do not seem to be very strong, and many of them may be weaker than newborn children.
However, they are warm and kind.
This is so far, the town residents' perception of these brave people.
In the past few days, almost all families with only the elderly and children at home have accepted their help.
They help the elderly with limited mobility by cooking and cleaning, delivering three meals to hungry young children, bathing and mending their clothes, and even telling stories to put them to sleep.
They are enthusiastic and energetic, and they are always filled with a kind of vitality that small town residents do not have. They are so kind, they will take the initiative to ask every resident if they need help.
And at the end, said with a smile that they would come again tomorrow.
Every trivial matter is so small, but it warms the families who have long lost hope and whose lives are full of trauma and endless darkness.
The reason for the obstruction of the road is that the four main cities outside the imperial city have actually become isolated cities.
In particular, Lanyue City's defensive array is not strong, and holes often appear, requiring a large number of troops to guard the front line to resist the interstellar beasts that come in from time to time.
There are not many elemental divisions in Lanyue City, so more ordinary people are needed to join the army.
For this reason, the consuls who defended the city had to recruit troops year after year, and shifted the focus of development to the frontier.
This is also the reason why the central town of Lanyue City has declined. Except for the old and weak women and children left behind, almost all young and middle-aged people have left for the border.
Of course, except for the scum of Baker.
Baker and his younger brother were not originally from the small town. They came here after the beast swarm three years ago.
At that time, the consul and the army had already gone to the border, and there were only a few militia left in the central town. After bribing the mayor, they became the dominant force here.
In the face of the six tall and strong men, the remaining old and weak women and children are not opponents at all, and they can only swallow their voices in the face of oppression.
Therefore, when the battle happened, all the residents present, apart from being shocked, clapped and applauded, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
The onlookers also witnessed a unique battle today.
These "heroes" fight...
It's really appalling.
The Roland Empire's folk customs are sturdy, and even many of these old and weak have participated in wars, and they have never seen a fight so... so insidious!
Dozens of people hit one, and they still have to use sly tricks
Looking at Baker, whose face was smeared with flour, and his face was chopped with blood before the enemy could see it clearly, the audience not only felt good, but also had a slight fear of these brave men.
In addition to being insidious, the braves are also really ferocious!
Everyone's intestines are leaking out, and these people are still excited, with blood on their faces, laughing and slashing more and more fiercely! It's a big departure from the usual gentle and polite image.
The devil and the angel are really only on the line.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there is a besieged Baker who suddenly roared angrily. He no longer cared about the two who slashed him hardest at the front.
The brave warriors who were originally around him scattered as if they had received some signal.
If someone enters their team channel at this time, they will hear the commander shouting excitedly - "BOSS red blood is rampant!"
"Who is the hatred for? Watermelon rind, right? Don't panic, run along the street, don't run too fast, the boss is disabled and can't run away from you... Don't stop the remote output of others!"
"The BOSS has only a little bloody skin left, 200 Aixue Coins will be available soon, brothers, work harder!"
In the end, Baker's dying counterattack didn't work.
No matter who he pounces on, the other party immediately smears oil on the soles of his feet without any love, and at the same time, people keep throwing stones at him!
Do these goddamn guys want a face
Dozens of people besiege one of them, and they still engage in these shady tricks. Is it unreasonable
Facts have proved that when players push monsters, they have always been shameless, only more shameless - in addition to stones, there are people who grab lime powder from somewhere and greet Baker directly on the face!
"Ahhh-" It hurts!
So frustrating!
Baker had never been so suffocated, and until his death, he had never been liberated from this suffocating emotion.
Eventually, a stone hit Baker's temple.
This bully boss, who had done all the bad things and squeezed the town residents to the ground, finally lost all his health and crashed to the ground.
[Ding ~ Assist to kill [Bully Baker], gain 500 experience points]
"Hahaha, I upgraded!"
"Wow, win, win!"
"Oh my God, it's so cool! It's really fun to fight in groups! Give the commander a thumbs up!"
The fight took place for less than five minutes.
The BOSS includes five mobs, all of which are taken without damage!
Players surrounded Baker's horrific corpse, cheering for the victory, and no matter how you looked at this scene, it made people feel chills.
Some people even heard them say: "Quickly pick up the corpse! Don't be refreshed by the system, it's a small boss, let's see if any equipment materials are dropped?"
Then someone really started to pick up Baker's clothes, and even the other five younger brothers didn't let it go!
The onlookers of the town residents are even more terrifying! In fact, from the perspective of players...
Baker's body was glowing, the light covered the ferocious wound, and the blood flowing out was also a sparkling golden liquid.
This picture is not only not bloody and scary, it can even be said to be beautiful, so...
fear? nonexistent!
After pulling out all the belongings of Baker and his five younger brothers, Xu Yuheng and the others got a few broken clothes, a few weapons that were still in their hands, and more than 5,000 Aixue coins.
Xu Yuheng had little demand for these spoils.
The Aixue Coins obtained were directly shared by the system, and then another 5,000 Aixue Coins were auctioned for a piece of junk, which was considered to make up for the money promised to the players.
As for the weapons that Baker and the others hung up before they could use them, they let the players bid on their own, and then he simply quit the team.
Bo Feng smiled and said a few polite words to the other 50 players, then handed over the head to the commander just now, and left with Xu Yuheng.
After the two left, there were still people who added them as friends.
Xu Yuheng always refused, but Bai Feng refused to come. Today's cooperation was not bad, and there may be opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Because of this battle, the two became famous.
A boss that can resist a single-click damage of more than three or four hundred can definitely rank in the top three among players at this stage.
What's more, they also exchanged for copper-quality weapons!
Can carry and output, do you think it is a bull
The major teams threw olive branches to them, but they were all rejected. On the other hand, it also aroused the enthusiasm of players to do daily prestige.
Because—that invisible armor can be exchanged in the camp warehouse!
There are even silver-quality armor and weapons, but the prestige in demand is too high, and players are still out of reach.
The surge in demand for prestige has made players no longer satisfied with the daily routine of the sixth ring, but continue to harass NPCs to brush ordinary tasks after the routine is completed.
It turns out this works.
For the ordinary people of the Roland Empire, who had low productivity and were burdened by the beast tide, there was nothing more comfortable than free help.
And although these helpers are strange, they are very smart, and they can always come up with all kinds of strange ideas to help them solve their problems.
In addition to the life-style players who aim at daily tasks, there are of course some militants.
Inspired by the battle, they began to set their sights on the local bullies and gangsters.
There are these people in almost every major city. After all, not everyone is willing to fight for the empire and pay their lives to defend the city. Otherwise, there will be no traitors loyal to the Baywart Empire.
The empire has no special way to deal with these people for the time being. At most, it can only manage the imperial city, and the other four major cities are helpless.
And now...
When Xu Sili received the information collected by Xiao Wu, he was directly happy.
For these cancers to be eradicated, he is happy to see it, not to mention that he does not need to come out.
There are dangers in this, however.
How to determine that the NPC that the players plotted to kill is the real tumor? Once this hole is opened, will the players aim their butcher knives at the good people after the gangsters are all killed
The player known as the fourth natural disaster, but a double-edged sword, if it is not used properly, it is likely to be backlashed.
Xu Sili was a little troubled.
He also understands the urgency of the players. It is unrealistic to expect a group of people who are too energetic to be idle.
At present, he can only carefully screen and screen the information sent by Xiao Wu. If it matches, he will send the task to the player. If it does not match, he will give a warning through Xiao Wu.
For example, when the player is about to commit a crime, a warning pops up to remind him that he is committing a crime and what kind of punishment he may suffer.
After a few times, the players have come to a conclusion that only the NPC who received the quest can kill them, and the other killings will not only clear the reputation of the faction, but also face the national wanted.
Slowly, fewer people are looking for trouble with NPCs.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Xu Sili did not give the rewards for the follow-up tasks as generously as the first time.
This may also be the reason why players are less enthusiastic.
After all, there are only 200 players in each main city, and it is good to be able to gather 10 players to fight at a time. Not only is the casualty rate high, but the rewards are also much less after being evenly distributed. It is better to do daily work.
Of course, these are all later stories.
On the second day after the battle, after the three children of Jayne were settled and enough money was left for them, Xu Yuheng was ready to leave.
His goal is very clear - he wants to go to the border, find an opportunity to enter the army that escorts the elementalists back to the imperial city, or if there is no way, he will die to the imperial city again and again by the number of times of resurrection in place 10 times a day.
The only thing I worry about is that I might get lost in the wild because I don't have a map.
However, these can be taken slowly, and we can think of ways to wait until the border.
Bai Feng was very reluctant.
The three children are well-behaved and sensible, and the key is very cute after being cleaned, but Xu Yuheng can't be beaten, so he can only entrust the players who continue to stay in the central town to help take care of them.
Killing Baker didn't have any effect on them. The town residents who heard about it all applauded. As for the mayor and the militia, they turned a blind eye and didn't care at all.
The only difference is that the attitude of the town residents towards the players is much more enthusiastic and respectful than before, which also facilitates the players' activities in the central town.
On this day, they were ready to go. However, the broadcast that sounded in the town successfully stopped them - the imperial city was about to send elementalists over to establish elementalist branches in major cities!
In addition, the establishment locations of the major branches were announced.
This caused an uproar among the NPCs, and also achieved a massacre effect in the player forum. The new settings, like a game update, ignited the enthusiasm of all the internal beta players.
Because on the fifth day of the game's launch, there are not a few players who have reached level 5, but they are all stuck at this level!
More importantly - they want to change careers to learn skills!
The video of the elementalists in the mercenary town controlling soil and wood has long spread, making everyone yearn for learning elemental skills.
After sorting out, they found that all branches are located near the birth point of the main city!
This directly pointed to the players, and it also temporarily stopped those players who were eager to explore new maps.
Bai Feng was very happy, but Xu Yuheng was full of helplessness.
The establishment of branches in major cities means that the army will no longer send people to escort the children to the imperial city - Plan A, which he had planned to sneak into the army, was declared bankrupt.
So, now there is only plan B of the dead imperial city over and over again.
"Bai Feng, you stay and wait for the branch to be established."
After some deliberation, Xu Yuheng proposed to part ways with Bai Feng.
This made Bai Feng puzzled and sad.
He and Xu Yuheng have always been inseparable, and never thought that they would play games with him separately.
"Brother Yu, why do you have to go to the border? Is the border more fun?"
He raised the confusion since the server was launched.
Xu Yuheng looked at him, and finally told the truth, "I don't want to go to the border, I want to go to the imperial city."
"Why?" Bai Feng asked.
Xu Yuheng pursed his lips and said hesitantly, "I'm going to see Snow Roland."
He didn't say his brother's name, it was a wound he never wanted to touch.
Bai Feng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You are talking about His Majesty the Emperor! Brother Yu, have you also received an elite mission to meet His Majesty?"
Xu Yuheng did not answer, which was considered a default.
"Brother Yu, you said it earlier!"
Bai Feng was happy, "I haven't completed this task yet. We can go together, but... Isn't the road to the imperial city blocked?"
"So I'm going to use unconventional methods." Xu Yuheng said what sounded like a crazy plan.
"Wow, that's a good idea!"
Bai Feng said cheerfully, "Why didn't I think of it before? Brother Yu, you are so smart!"
"Then let's go quickly~" Seeing Bai Feng's complete support for him, Xu Yuheng thought for a while and said, "You should stay here and wait for the branch to be established, it will be more conducive to your development in the game."
"I do not want."
Bai Feng said without thinking, "It's still fun to go to the new map, I'm tired of staying in this town!"
Xu Yuheng rolled his eyes, wondering who always wanted to stay before
But then, he still laughed.
The two continued to prepare to go to the border, while on the other side, Xu Sili, who was sorting out the development directions of the other four major cities, received another message from Xiao Wu.
He thought it was a player who was going to murder the NPC again, but after seeing the content of the message, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
[Brother, a dialogue that is highly consistent with the mission objectives has been monitored, do you want to listen?]
mission target
Isn't it... Second brother
Xu Sili's heart was beating wildly, he took a deep breath, nodded and let Xiao Wu send the conversation.
"Brother Yu, why do you have to go to the border? Is the border more fun?"
"I don't want to go to the border, I want to go to the imperial city."
"why?"
"I'm going to see Snow Roland."
"You are talking about His Majesty the Emperor! Brother Yu, have you also received an elite mission to meet His Majesty?"
"… "
This conversation was clearly transmitted to Xu Sili's ears through the communicator. When he heard the word "Yu Ge", his heart almost stopped beating.
The conversation that followed made his heart beat faster.
Until he checked through the panel and found that this "Yushu Linfeng" did not receive the elite task of [Meeting His Majesty the Emperor], he was finally completely certain.
In fact, there is no need to check it at all, because the way "Brother Yu" speaks has already given him a sense of familiarity, but under the interference of his voice, he can't be sure.
"Xiao Wu, can you take a picture of them?" Xu Sili said.
[Brother wait a moment.]
After a while, a video screenshot was sent over.
The video is of Xu Yuheng leading the player to fight with Baker. It was obviously filmed by a resident of a small town and then intercepted by Xiao Wu.
The picture is not very clear.
But Xu Sili still recognized the second brother at a glance. He didn't change his appearance, and entered the game directly with his original appearance!
Xu Sili looked at the photo and exhaled slowly. He blinked and pursed his dry lips.
Although I always believed that my second brother would come to him, sometimes I couldn't help but doubt.
After all, it has been almost ten years in reality, who knows if anyone still remembers him
But I didn't expect that the second brother really came, and they had already met.
"Yushu Linfeng" turned out to be the second brother!
He should have thought of it long ago, this name is very in line with the smug character of the second brother.
Xu Sili sniffed, but he frowned when he thought that the second brother was going to see him in the imperial city by dying.
No, I can't let the second brother do this!
He had seen the posts on the future forum and knew how tragic this method was.
Because after the player dies, the corpse will not disappear, even if offline, it will stay for ten minutes, so this leads to - the player who died in the wild is likely to be eaten by the star beast!
In fact, it's okay for those who were bitten and eaten up, because if the corpse is gone, they can be resurrected at the spawn point next time they go online, and those players who are directly swallowed and have no time to be digested will be miserable.
It cannot be resurrected in the stomach of an interstellar beast, and can only passively wait for the corpse to be completely digested before choosing to revive at the birth point.
Just looking at the description makes me feel bad!
Xu Sili was reluctant to let his second brother go through this.
In fact, Si Sheng can also be asked to take over the second brother, but... under what name
Si Sheng is so smart, will he guess something after seeing the second brother? He had suspected before that he was not the original!
Xu Sili shook his head and dismissed the idea.
Because in addition to this, when he thought of letting his second brother see Si Sheng, for some reason, he felt strange and awkward.
Anyway, it is now confirmed that the person is in Lanyue City, which greatly shortens his time, as long as he establishes a teleportation formation between the imperial city and Lanyue City, or waits for Cha Mo to wake up!
At that time, I can give my second brother a surprise~ Si Sheng walked into the bedroom and saw the young man sitting on the sofa alone and looking silly.
It was an expression that hardly ever appeared on his face.
Si Sheng blinked, raised his foot and walked over, the military boots tapped the floor and made a crisp sound, successfully attracting the young man's attention.
However, when he looked at it, the smile on his face never faded. The whole figure was like a rose that had just been moistened by the rain, and even his face was flushed red.
Si Sheng frowned, a vague sense of crisis in his heart.
Just now... Has anyone else been here
His mental power swept through the bedroom quietly, but he didn't find any strange aura. It seemed that only Wen Jishan and Li Zhecheng had been here...
He pursed his lips and came to stand beside the young man.
"His Majesty."
"You're here."
Xu Sili sat cross-legged on the sofa and greeted him with a smile, the whole person was extremely relaxed.
Looking down at his smile, Si Sheng paused and sat down beside him in a grand manner.
The young man didn't chase him, he picked up the book and was ready to read it.
Si Sheng was quiet for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, you seem very happy?"
"yes."
Xu Sili nodded, turned his back against him, and continued to treat him as a humanoid pillow.
He was reading with the book in his hand, but he was actually thinking about how to leave the second brother in Lanyue City without a trace, and then secretly poked him to give him some benefits.
Sensing his absent-mindedness, Si Sheng pursed his lips into a straight line again.
Before Mingming, as long as he stayed by the side of Lord God, as long as he could be close to him, he felt satisfied, but now he finds that... he wants more and more.
He looked sideways, looked at the back of the young man's head, reached out his hand carefully, gently lifted his silver-white hair, and wrapped it around his fingertips.
Xu Sili noticed his movement and found that he was playing with his hair, so he pulled his hair back and muttered, "Don't make trouble."
As a result, after a while, the man in the back secretly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder lightly.
When Xu Sili was thinking about things, he hated others to move him the most. He grabbed the restless hand and pulled it forward, and under Si Sheng's stunned eyes, he directly hugged that arm.
"Be nice."
The young man whispered to him and pressed his arm into his arms.
But actually this pose...
It was more like Si Sheng came from behind, with his arms over his shoulders, and hugged him into his arms.
