Unsworn Sword told the whole story in a sorrowful tone, from beginning to end. The six from Young Master's Elite Group were in pain as they listened. Holding back their laughter was as painful as holding back their tears.
Unsworn Sword sighed as he told the story. In the end, he asked in confusion, "What do you think is going on?"
The six of them looked at each other. Young Master Han coughed and said, "Uh, could it be some sort of quest plot?"
"We think so too. Let's follow them and see what they're up to!" Unsworn Sword said.
The ending was not out of everyone's expectations. After the group of players was escorted back to the city, they went straight to the dungeon and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Although all communication would be cut off in the dungeon, there was a setting for visitation. There was only one word for visitation: money. As long as they paid, they could do whatever they wanted with the prisoners, except for bail. There was no time limit, and it was loved by couples who couldn't be apart for even a moment.
Unsworn Sword's subordinates locked Unsworn Sword in a cell. After the NPC guards left, he carefully walked over to the cell. He used the same amount of force as when he knocked on Adrian's door, 30% to go forward and 70% to retreat. He was worried that the system god would immediately recognize him as the boss of the criminals.
In the end, what he was worried about didn't happen. The dungeon guards followed the rules as usual. After Unsworn Sword paid a hefty visitation fee, he went in to greet his brothers.
The players in the dungeon were as confused as Unsworn Sword. They knew a little more than Unsworn Sword, but they only knew that they would be in jail for four hours. As for the reason, the system didn't release an official message, but the word "robber" frequently appeared in the conversations between the NPCs, which made them feel wronged.
In their eyes, they had only surrounded Adrian … Speaking of which, it did seem like a robber's action, but they had never heard of an NPC being arrested and thrown in jail by the guards! Since when did NPCs have such human rights? The players in the dungeon were all furious.
When Unsworn Sword entered, he was very depressed. When he came out, Unsworn Sword looked like he was about to sink into oblivion. Looking at the people from the Young Master Elite Group waiting for him outside the dungeon, he only reacted after a while and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The Han Clan young master sighed. "Have you forgotten? Give the note to Qian Li and ask Adrian to try it out. "
"Oh …" Unsworn Sword was currently in a daze. Without much thought, he took out the note and gave it to Gu Fei.
"How long will they be in prison?" Gu Fei took the note and asked.
"Four hours!" Unsworn Sword replied.
"Then we can't continue the mission today, right?" Gu Fei asked.
Unsworn Sword nodded and turned to Young Master Han. "Can you contact the other mercenary group leaders?"
The Han Family young master shook his head.
Unsworn Sword looked like he was on the verge of collapsing. "Damn it, I still have to notify these people." Obviously, the person who was usually in charge of contacting these guys was Shadow Years. The guild leader, Unsworn Sword, seemed to disdain dealing with these trivial matters.
"Then I'll continue this tomorrow, right?" Gu Fei waved the note towards Unsworn Sword.
"Of course." Unsworn Sword felt annoyed just looking at the note. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. After a few words with the others, he cursed and left with his brothers.
"Should we … try it out now?" Gu Fei asked the other five for their opinion.
"Of course, otherwise how can we sleep at night?" Brother You said.
"Do you sleep at night?" Gu Fei was confused.
"Of course!" The five scolded Gu Fei for not treating them as humans.
After asking around, the six of them finally found the system appraiser of Moonlit Night City. It was a masked sorceress, the appraisal teacher of all players in Moonlit Night City.
"Give me the account book." Gu Fei gestured to the Han Clan young master.
"Wait!" Brother You said.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Brother You.
"Let me try first. I want to see if this mission can only be completed by Qian Li, who has a relationship with the werewolf," Brother You said. "Let's see what the logic of this parallel world setting is."
"If that's the case, you can't try! You met the werewolf with Qian Li. Logically speaking, it seems like you accepted the mission with Qian Li, "Sword Ghost said.
"Makes sense." Brother You nodded.
"Let me try!" Sword Ghost extended his hand for the note and the account book.
Gu Fei watched as these guys worked. Their tireless research on online games touched Gu Fei. It would be great if there were so many people who had the same spirit for Kung Fu!
Sword Ghost took the note and the account book and requested the appraiser to appraise the characters. Just when everyone was worried that the NPC wouldn't understand what they were talking about, the appraiser nodded and raised two fingers. "Two hundred gold coins."
"F * ck!!!" The six of them cursed.
"This is too shameless!"
"Profiteer."
"Despicable."
"The system is crazy poor."
"The game company wants money more than lives!"
The discussion went on for a full ten minutes. Sword Ghost interrupted them weakly, "Hey, are you going to appraise it or not?"
"Appraise it. Wool comes from the sheep," the Han Clan young master said.
Sword Ghost tossed two hundred gold coins to the appraiser and passed the note and the account book to her.
The appraiser took the note and glanced at it. Then she picked up the account book and flipped through it. When the six of them were guessing which page she was going to stop at, the appraiser had already handed the note and the account book back. "It's the same handwriting."
The appraisal process didn't take more than five seconds. The six of them didn't even have the time to hold their breaths and stare at it before the announcement was made. They spent two hundred gold coins just like that, but they didn't experience any entertainment at all. The six of them felt that the system was too despicable. Since it charged such a high price, it should at least appraise it. It was so perfunctory that it annoyed them.
But no matter what, since the system had spoken, it meant two things.
First of all, Adrian was the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Second, Gu Fei wasn't the only one who could complete this plot. The Han Clan young master hid Adrian's account book and caused a lot of trouble for Reigning Four Seas.
"Is the plot complete now? Will Adrian admit it when we go back? "Sword Ghost asked everyone.
Everyone was confused. The logic in the parallel world wasn't parallel to reality at all. Sometimes it was like reality, and sometimes it was like the rules of an online game. It was unpredictable and tormenting the nerves of the players …
Just in case, the six of them asked the appraiser to produce a proof to prove that the note and the account book were written by the same person. The six of them thought that this proof would be an important tool to make Adrian admit his guilt.
"Proof? My words are proof! "The masked woman was surprisingly arrogant.
The six of them were looked down upon by an NPC. The six of them left angrily.
"Are we going to find Adrian now?"
"Of course, how can we sleep if we don't go …"
Thus, the six of them continued on their way to Luminous Village. On the way, they met quite a number of Cloud City players who were returning to the city. After being informed by Sworn Sword that they couldn't continue for the day, everyone was unhappy that they had wasted an entire night.
"Looks like this Reigning Four Seas quest will offend quite a lot of people!" Brother You sighed as he looked at the unhappy players.
"They lack the qualities of professional mercenaries," the Han Clan young master said. The five of them looked at him.
"That includes us too," he continued.
"Tch!" The five of them looked at him in disdain.
"With so many mercenaries gathered together, it's impossible for them to form a united whole. If they succeed in this Reigning Four Seas quest, they'll be lucky; if they fail, they'll be ruined because of him. Let's wait and see, "the Han Clan young master said.
"You … why do you look like you're hoping for them to fail!" Gu Fei said.
"I just don't like the atmosphere. They invited us over, but they don't trust us enough. Tsk tsk, do they really think they can get people to do things for them just by spending some money? They're not made for being bosses, "the Han Clan young master said.
"I think you're thinking too deeply …" Gu Fei said, "It's not that they don't trust us, it's just that they're afraid of your frequent extortion. They're starting to avoid us. You see, this is abnormal. "
"Extortion? If it was really extortion, it wouldn't be this price. That's because they're jealous. They hate that we always have to show up at the crucial moment to get through, so they avoid us on purpose. Honestly, we're only six people. Do you think they'll pay us more than a hundred people from the Black Hand mercenary group? Let me tell you, it's far from it! We're probably only worth the price of twenty people from the Black Hand mercenary group! "
"That's too much!" Gu Fei was furious, "I can kill twenty people from the Black Hand mercenary group by myself!"
"That's why! There's no extortion at all. The price I offered was reasonable, "the Han Clan young master said.
The Sword Ghost nudged him and said, "There's extortion. You hid their account book."
The Han Clan young master looked at him in disdain, "This isn't extortion, this is business."
Everyone was speechless.
