After the system prompts.
Sitting at the head seat in the conference hall, the young man in a white suit and wearing a monocle came out on his own initiative with an unfathomable smile on his face.
"Thank you all for coming. My name is Roland Turner, and my father is the Adventure King Loren you all call him. I am his illegitimate son."
The young man in the white suit's introduction did not elicit any reaction from the people present.
After all, who can believe just one sentence
Everyone talks about evidence.
Roland obviously knew this, so he didn't waste any words and took out a white envelope from his arms and placed it on the table. The emblem on the envelope was an eagle with its wings spread high in the sky. Except for the players, everyone was familiar with this seal that symbolized the former adventure king Roland.
"... This was sent to me by the Royal Bank of the Kingdom three months ago."
"My father once forged an identity and opened an account there. He set a time to send this envelope to me. The address of the ancient Shambhala Kingdom is recorded in it."
"As for my father's treasure, there is no mention of it in the letter."
“But it must also be in Shambhala.”
As soon as Roland said this, the treasure hunters present straightened their backs. Some even leaned forward, looking as if they couldn't wait to snatch the envelope. Their eyes were filled with indescribable greed. However, just when they were about to lose control...
... .Bang!
The fierce gunfire was like a bucket of cold water that instantly sobered them up.
For a moment, the treasure hunters' attention shifted from Roland to the burly man with an eye patch on his left eye behind him.
The originally sinister atmosphere in the meeting room immediately calmed down.
After seeing this scene.
The players, including Gu Moli, all looked thoughtful, but since this was a meeting, the players could not communicate privately...
... .Just when Gu Moli was thinking this.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
Suddenly, a voice saying "steady" came to my ears.
What's going on
Gu Moli raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at the word "stable", but found that the other party's mouth did not move at all, but the sound still came over... .Player skills
In addition to Gu Moli, other players also made the same expressions and actions. It was obvious that the voice of stability was a mass message.
Her subsequent response also proved this point.
"Don't worry, this is my skill, I'll pull you in right now."
The player "Fireworks are easy to cool" has been pulled into an encrypted call
Then Gu Moli found that a very small information box and message interface popped up in the lower right corner of his body. He could make words appear in it just by using his mind. It felt like he was pulled into a QQ group and could type with his mind.
Even the sound can be transmitted synchronously.
Surprisingly, this is a team-based skill.
Turning his eyes, Gu Moli saw that Wen Zi Dangtou took the initiative to show his skill panel.
... ... ... ... ... ... ..

"I see. This skill is very useful in scenarios with many people."
The sound of exclamation that the name was useless was heard immediately afterwards.
“Time is limited.”
The steady voice sounded again: "Let me tell you the conclusion directly. This Roland cannot be trusted. And the one-eyed man behind him should be one of the four strongest adventurers mentioned in the script introduction. Otherwise, it would be impossible for one person to intimidate dozens of other treasure hunters."
"indeed."
Perhaps because they were both female players, Hua Qiong also had a favorable impression of the word "steady" and took the initiative to agree: "So we should be vassals of this adventurer?"
"... No."
Before anyone else could speak, Hua Qiong refuted what had just been said: "The conversation just now didn't seem like vassalage. The system shouldn't let us vassalize an NPC without any prompts, so it should be a powerless neutral treasure hunter. Is the one-eyed man trying to win us over?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Qiong noticed the gaze that Gu Moli was giving her.
"... What are you doing?"
Gu Moli looked at Hua Qiong with complicated eyes, and suddenly sighed: "You have changed."
"You've become smarter."
Hua Qiong: “???”
Being interrupted like this, Hua Qiong immediately grinned, revealing his white fangs.
What? You still want to bite me
Gu Moli sneered, and then said in the encrypted call: "There is no need to care about vassals. This should be a way for the system to provide players with a way to participate in the script. The main thing is this so-called ancient Shambhala Kingdom. The real plot will not unfold until you enter it."
"So we follow this adventurer first?"
Before Bad Brother could finish his words, a steady voice suddenly rang out.
"I object!"
The voice, which had been a little low before, was raised by octaves this time, which even startled Gu Moli. The most silent name-giving person's eyes twitched slightly, and he even raised his head to glance at Wen Zi Dangtou. As for the bad brother who made the suggestion, he seemed a little confused and surprised.
"... Uh, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"... Sorry, I got excited."
He was silent for a moment, then regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "I mean, entering the mysterious ancient kingdom of Shambhala without any intelligence is not a good choice. Strictly speaking, I think it's tantamount to committing suicide."
"So exaggerated... Then what do you think we should do?"
"I think?"
He pondered for a moment and then said, "First of all, we must have enough intelligence, which can be obtained from the man named Roland. We should attack him from the side and try to exchange information with words. If the other party is cautious, we can switch to the second plan and knock him out and take him away. The other party did not go directly to ancient Shambhala, but cooperated with the adventurer, which shows that his strength should not be too strong. If all players with stun skills attack together, the success rate should be about 97%. After knocking him out, we can take him back to interrogate him for information. We can use torture when necessary, but time must be fast, otherwise the one-eyed man will definitely find out something is wrong. Finally, in order to prevent the other party's revenge, we have to kill him and destroy the body. It is best to create confusion and attract other people's attention, and then we take the opportunity to leave..."
When it comes to the specific plan, the word "steady" seems to open the conversation. The one-stop service of "knock out, take away, interrogate, kill, silence, and destroy the body" makes everyone's scalp tingle. After talking about the outline of the plan, she seems to want to talk about the specific details of the action...
However, before anyone could refute her, she changed the subject.
"... .no."
"Considering Roland's special identity, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is the mastermind behind the scenes. If that is the case, attacking him may lead to hell mode. The success rate of using force is less than 90%. So it is better for us to go forward and ask questions in batches, and then compare the information we get to select the credible ones... Tsk, it's a pity that I don't have the skill to judge the truth of words..."
For a moment, the entire encrypted call was filled with the sound of the man mumbling to himself with the word "steady" at the forefront.
After listening to these words, Gu Moli felt that he roughly understood what kind of person this sister was.
