"Are these the friends you mentioned?" It was obvious that the man in the water dungeon was not in a good mood to talk about how he ended up in the dungeon, so he changed the topic.
"Hmm, let me introduce you." Brother You introduced his teammates one by one. All of them were famous, and any player would be amazed by them. The man in front of him was no exception. At the side, Unsworn Sword had also learned a lot from this introduction. Only now did he know that this young master of the Han Family was the legendary Sword Specter's Shadow Military Advisor, Drunkard. He could not help but be surprised. This was a famous expert.
After Brother You introduced the four of them, he also introduced Sword Without Oath and Feng Xing. Comparatively, Sword of No Oath and Feng Xing were like some rich landlords in a village, while Sword Ghost and Imperial God Ming were like Nangong Beiming and Ximen Dongfang in the martial world. Wherever they went, they would be respected. The two sides were not on the same level at all.
Then, Brother You introduced the man in the water dungeon. "This is a friend of mine. You might have heard of his name before, Jiannan You."
The next reaction completely showed the difference between aristocratic families and rich landlord.
When the four experts heard the ID of the Five Roaches, they all let out a long "Oh", expressing the meaning of "So it's you."
As for Sword without Oath, he was so excited that he wanted to jump into the water dungeon to share the joys and sorrows with others. People like him loved to make friends with various experts in the game. That was why he wanted to tag along when he heard that the Gongzi Elite Group was going to visit a certain someone!
When he heard that the other party was a top-notch expert of the Five Roaches, Sword without Oath's desire to befriend him grew even stronger. Even though he knew that the other party had definitely made a name for himself in Linshui City, and it was impossible to invite him to Cloud City, he could at least get to know him and become friends. Who knows, they might have the chance to form an alliance in the future. Even if there were no more opportunities to work together, he could brag about how close he was to one of the Five Roaches. That would be great too!
With that thought, Sword without Oath squatted down and stretched out his arm to shake the other party's hand.
Jian Nan You was a gentleman. Although he was uncomfortable in the water, he did not refuse. Instead, he reminded her in a gentlemanly manner, "Sorry, my hands are wet."
"Let's do it!" Unsworn Sword clenched his fists so tightly that he almost pulled Jian Nanyou up.
"For today's trip, I'll have to ask for your help, brother." Unsworn Sword was truly generous. He had only just gotten to know each other, but he was already preparing to hand over the quest. This was also where Unsworn Sword understood the ways of the world. If he brought this up in front of Brother You, it would be hard for the other party to reject him. Moreover, Brother You and the others would inevitably speak up for him. If he waited until after the meeting ended and then came down to look for her alone, it would be hard to say whether or not she would help him.
At first, Jian Nan You was also quite puzzled as to why this person was so enthusiastic. At this moment, when he saw that the other party had a favor to ask of him, he understood. So he didn't ask any more questions and immediately nodded. "Sure, sure. Did someone steal your equipment? If you want to snatch the equipment, you'll have to hurry. "
"What … what did you say?" Unsworn Sword suspected that he had heard wrongly. He felt that Youjian Nan's words seemed to come from a different world.
"No equipment was stolen? Then there was no need to rush. How much money was stolen? If I see that I have enough, I can give it to you now, "Jian Nan You said.
Unsworn Sword was even more confused. He raised his head and looked at Brother You blankly. His hand that had been holding Youjian Nan You loosened a little.
Brother You finally spoke up for Unsworn Sword. He frowned and asked Youjian Nan You, "What are you talking about?"
Youjian Nan You was stunned too. He looked at Unsworn Sword again and said carefully, "You … didn't you get robbed when you came here on the boat?"
"Robbed? No! "Unsworn Sword said.
"Cough … forget about the conversation just now!" Youjian Nan You coughed.
However, the others had already understood. For example, Sword Ghoul frowned and asked, "What do you do?"
"I … am a professional player." Youjian Nan You raised his head and looked into Sword Ghoul's eyes. Sword Ghoul was a famous person. It was not difficult for players who paid attention to him to know his character. Youjian Nan You knew that this boss-level character who had limitless glory in countless games was a rare upright person compared to normal players. Although he did not hate evil as much as his enemy, he at least did not want to interact with those who did not have a good character.
For a veteran player like Youjian Nan You, he could tell from Youjian Nan You's self-confident slip of the tongue. As a professional player, Youjian Nan You's class was probably not very upright.
Speaking of which, this kind of act of stealing equipment from others was not strange in the oldest online games. Today, the game had even developed to the point of professionalization, industrialization, and collectivization. This also proved the development and vitality of online games from a dark side.
For most players, they would not pay too much attention to such characters as long as they did not get their equipment. Some people would even try to become friends with them to prevent them from getting their equipment dropped.
Online games had never been a place for righteous heroes to grow. Even a rare upright person like Sword Ghoul would not be so indignant if he had not become a victim of such acts in the parallel world.
Jiannan and Sword Ghost's gazes met, sparks flew. However, Brother You quickly came out to smooth things over. He placed one hand on Sword Ghost's shoulder and squeezed it. He laughed and said, "We're passing by on a quest. This brother is the guild leader of this quest. You're familiar with this place. He's saying that you might be able to provide us with some help. " In the introduction earlier, Brother You only mentioned everyone's name. He did not mention Unsworn Sword's identity and position.
"Oh, I see!" Youjian Nan You shifted his gaze away and looked at Unsworn Sword again. "That's easy. We'll contact each other after we get out. Just let me know if you need any help."
"Thank you, thank you!" Unsworn Sword was a classic example of a person who, regardless of whether the other party was good or bad, could become friends as long as the other party did not get on his bad side. Now that Unsworn Sword was even willing to help him, it would not be impossible for them to become brothers.
"Oh right, didn't you say that you wanted to introduce me to another powerful person? I don't think any of them are that person, right? " Brother You only mentioned the names of the six people he introduced. Young Master Han briefly mentioned Drunkard to let him know who he was. Such an equal and concise introduction meant that they were obviously not the special guest.
"Ahem …" Brother You laughed dryly. "You might have met that person before."
"Hmm?" Youjian Nan You was confused.
"He's the Video Wizard," Brother You confessed.
"The guy who put me in jail?" Youjian Nan You was very excited. The sound of water splashing was the proof.
"I'm afraid so." As Brother You spoke, he glanced at his companions. Everyone clearly agreed with his judgment.
"We're all friends. Forget it!" Brother You had already started apologizing for Gu Fei.
"Mm!" Youjian Nan You only responded with a simple grunt. The speed at which he calmed down was shocking.
"Then, we'll be heading out first. We'll talk when you're out. How many hours are you in jail?" Brother You asked.
"Four," Youjian Nan You replied.
"Alright, we'll be leaving first." Brother You prepared to lead everyone out. Sword Specter left without hesitation, and Brother You was worried that something unpleasant might happen if he continued to stay, so he hurriedly expressed his intention to leave. Only Sword of No Oath showed reluctance to leave, but his friend was about to leave, and as someone he had just met, he really did not have the face to continue hanging around.
"Guild Leader Youjian, about your guild mission, you can talk to him yourself when he's out, okay?" Brother You said to Youjian Nan You after leaving the dungeon.
"Alright, no problem. Thanks! "Youjian Nan You nodded happily.
"Also … uh, he's a standard professional gamer. If he thinks it's too troublesome, he might charge a fee. I can't persuade him otherwise. After all, he relies on this to make a living! Don't mind him! "Brother You added.
"I understand, no problem!" Youjian Nan You did not mind at all.
"That's it for now!" Youjian Nan You said goodbye to Youjian Nan You on behalf of the five young masters.
Sword Ghoul's expression was still uncertain. After the five of them walked for a distance, he finally asked Brother You, "What does this friend of yours actually do?"
Brother You seemed to have been waiting for this question. "I only know that he's always been a professional gamer. I didn't know that he played this profession this time."
There were many types of professional gamers. There were the hardest money-farming groups, the more capable prostitutes, and the more business-minded scalping groups … Some specialized in one of these, while others were all-rounders. These were the more open and aboveboard ways of playing the profession. Apart from that, there were naturally dark professional gamers. For example, those who stole other people's equipment was one of them. Other than that, there were scams that could infiltrate the various categories. In the early days, there were even people who made a living by stealing accounts. However, with the improvement of safety awareness and safety technology, this business was extinct.
However, in the parallel world that used holographic simulation, some new nasty businesses were created. According to rumors, a very primitive service industry had appeared in some of the main cities. This was a clearly unhealthy trend, but it was strongly supported by many people, especially men. It was said that this industry was enough to set off a tourism craze in the game.
At that moment, Sword Ghoul despised Jian Nan You's profession, but he was Brother You's friend. It was a big problem to be able to properly handle various interpersonal relationships without losing his principles. At that moment, no one knew how to do it. The five of them kept moving forward in silence until they passed by a tavern where the young master of the Han Family disappeared. When the other four realized it, they said goodbye and went their separate ways.
