When the uproar erupted in Area A, Yue Zheng had drunk a round of wine and had been forced to drink quite heavily.
Now he was in Frost River Reality's VIP room, repaying a favor he hadn't used.
Interpersonal relationships were like this. Lips touched, phone calls connected, big or small, were favors. His family's stall in the luxury room had been broken up, and he had lost the chance to show off. He had to come here himself to apologize and express his thanks. Of course, this was also because in this circle, no family was inferior to his. They were the ones he needed to seriously curry favor with.
For this reason, he specifically had Fan Qu prepare high-grade fruit platters, drinks, and the like. He lowered his attitude and visited the VIP floor. Tonight's back and forth had already pretty much worn down his arrogance.
Admittedly, there were cold and warm people in this circle, but the host was still quite close.
Yue Zheng had once heard someone say that Ju Maoxun, the president of Yundu Business School's Elite Society, had a good appearance, but a violent temperament. He was known as the "Butcher".
But perhaps because it was their first meeting today, he couldn't see where he was violent.
Yue Zheng could see that today's main character wasn't actually Ju Maoxun. Instead, it was a young man with the same surname as him. He was introduced as "Ju Ling", Ju Maoxun's older cousin.
Ju Ling was around thirty years old. He had a buzz cut and looked rather neat. He didn't like to talk. In this place, he still didn't touch a drop of alcohol. Occasionally, he would sweep his gaze over. His gaze was calm, and not a bit of emotion could be seen.
Yue Zheng didn't make any further conversation. He couldn't stay here for long. After a round of drinks, he left. But he didn't leave immediately. He waited outside the door for Fan Qu to come out. He wanted to ask for specific information and clarify the focus of the following exchange.
At this time, someone passed through the corridor and walked shoulder to shoulder with Yue Zheng.
As soon as they met, Yue Zheng felt that the person was familiar. He was afraid that he couldn't recognize him, so he sized him up. The person across from him sensed something and turned his head. His brows furrowed, and he looked somewhat unhappy.
Yue Zheng was afraid of angering him. He hurriedly bowed and laughed, "Third Young Master Hu, are you the Border Shepherd's Third Young Master Hu? Last month at Celestial Crystal Biology's banquet … "
The other person interrupted him, "Who are you?"
Yue Zheng took a deep breath and smiled, "Hello, Third Young Master. I am Yue Zheng. My father is Wuyue Pharmaceuticals' Yue Qi."
"Oh, Wuyue Pharmaceuticals. Your distribution business was pretty good last year." Hu Huaying smiled. She clearly had a young face, but she brought out a rigid social attitude. She politely shook hands with Yue Zheng. Clearly, he didn't want to talk about it in detail.
Yue Zheng had just finished a round of toasting and had worn away his arrogance. With the stimulation of alcohol, his courage had grown quite a bit. He took the initiative to strike up a conversation. "Third Young Master, are you here to play with your friends? I don't know which room it is. I'll pay you a visit later."
"Maybe if there's a chance. I'm here to pick up a friend. I won't be staying for long."
At this time, the door to the VIP room next door opened. Fan Qu flashed out and was shocked to see two people standing outside the door. When he saw their faces clearly, he was even more shocked.
"Young master Hu?"
Hu Huaying saw that Fan Qu was dressed in work attire and made a sound of acknowledgment. She had no intention of continuing the conversation and left directly.
This time, Fan Qu looked at Yue Zheng with a slightly different expression. When Hu Huaying turned the corner of the corridor, he asked, "You and Young Master Hu …"
"We chatted a bit at the cocktail party." No one would care about this kind of cost-free boasting. Yue Zheng naturally wanted more of it.
Fan Qu nodded and pointed at the door behind him. He said in a low voice, "If we meet again in a moment, don't mention Young Master Hu's name."
Yue Zheng was astonished. "There's something between them …"
"Nothing. Just don't bring up other side issues." What Fan Qu said clearly wasn't true.
Yue Zheng was a bit disappointed with this. In fact, he had hoped to further communicate with Hu Huaying. Although the Hu Family was an upstream manufacturer, their business was mainly to order biological raw materials for major pharmaceutical companies. However, as one of the few A-rank suppliers of Sky Crystal Biology, the Xie Family and the Hu Family had a close relationship. This layer of relationship had to be included.
If he could take the opportunity to get to know her today, that would be ideal … What a pity!
Fan Qu saw through most of his thoughts. He took the initiative to pull him a bit further away and whispered, "These two circles don't touch each other. Young master Hu is in the business circle. Young master Ju is in the military and political circle. The people in this room might not have much net worth, but behind them are all powerful and influential. Do you see that Lieutenant Colonel Ju Ling? He just transferred from the city defense army to the coastal defense army. His military rank was even promoted. His future is limitless! "
"Lieutenant Colonel!" Yue Zheng jumped in fright. When they were introduced, the other had only reported their names, but not their positions. He was only in his early thirties, yet he had reached such a rank. Wouldn't he be aiming for a general in the future?
"That's the lieutenant colonel. But this one arrived later. I heard he was eating at Changliu Pavilion upstairs. He heard Young Master Xun was here, so he came to take a look …"
Fan Qu's wristband suddenly vibrated. Seeing the contact, he was stunned. He turned around and pushed the door open. "Young master Xun, you were looking for me?"
Just as Yue Zheng was feeling curious, he heard a voice from inside. "Little Fan, call Yue Zheng back …"
This tone was firm. Fan Qu was stunned and hurriedly said, "Zhengzi was just chatting with someone outside. He didn't go far."
The voice inside paused and then said, "Alright. Invite him in."
Yue Zheng had long since recognized Ju Maoxun's voice. It would be a lie to say he didn't have a grudge against this kind of attitude. Not to mention the tone, if he hadn't spoken with Hu Huaying outside the door and was already downstairs, what would he become if Ju Maoxun brought him back with a single word?
But the affairs of the world were like this. One set of words in front of people and another set behind their backs. In addition to the difference in status, it was normal to not pay attention to one's words and actions.
Yue Zheng had done no shortage of similar things. He quickly adjusted his state of mind, tidied up his external equipment and clothes, and pushed the door open. "Brother Xun, you were looking for me?"
Ju Maoxun stood up with a laugh. He hadn't yet spoken when a gang of drunkards in the room began to shout. "Fuck, he accepted the challenge. It's those two!"
"Kill them! Torture them to death! "
For a moment, there was a hint of a crowd surge.
What happened? Yue Zheng was a bit at a loss.
Ju Maoxun very intimately wrapped his arm around his shoulder and went to the edge of the most lively area. This was the central area of the VIP room. In the middle was a three-dimensional projector, which could also be used as a strategy room. The periphery was surrounded by a circle of maglev cabins. Some had people inside, some were empty. Although the overall scale couldn't compare to the hero seats in area A, the technology was a generation ahead. Each had its own merits.
The liveliness of the hero area was being broadcasted in real time here. Ju Maoxun didn't need to explain. Yue Zheng more or less understood the cause and effect of the situation after a few more glances. Even if there were some things he didn't quite understand, he could understand most of it through the message records of the room's ally system.
Then he felt like he was in heaven.
Xue Lei and Luo Nan had both snatched hero seats at the same time? This probability was certainly due to the bonus of the luxury bag. Dogshit luck. Dogshit luck …. And I lent it to them!
Yue Zheng had the urge to immediately leave the room. Unfortunately, he really couldn't do this sort of unreasonable behavior. He didn't know what his facial expression was like, but he knew that it definitely wouldn't be good.
Moreover, he still didn't understand why Ju Maoxun had called him back. He could only try asking, "Brother Xun?"
Ju Maoxun still had his arm around Yue Zheng's shoulder. He turned his head slightly, and the overly intimate physical contact made Yue Zheng feel quite uncomfortable. His aura weakened a bit.
"I heard Fan Qu say that the two people who snatched the seats are your friends?"
"Uh."
Seeing Ju Maoxun's expression, Yue Zheng instinctively felt that things weren't good. He wasn't willing to take the blame for Luo Nan and Xue Lei, so he responded very honestly, "I just met them today. They are relatives of my little sister's classmate. They're both at Acumen College."
"Oh, they're at the same school as Tian Si."
Tian Si? He also knew Tian Si!
A certain string in Yue Zheng's heart was plucked. He wanted to turn his head to look at Fan Qu, but he was unable to move because of Ju Maoxun's oppressive body. Soon, that feeling was annihilated in front of Ju Maoxun's masked smile.
"Yeah. Tian Si was invited by them …. They should be quite close."
When the last sentence was added, Yue Zheng seemed to hear the snigger of a demon in his heart. The resentment that had been accumulating in his chest for a long time was suddenly vented. But soon, a different kind of pleasure was born, like sparks buried under the ashes of grass.
Ju Maoxun patted his shoulder again, his eyes flashing. "I say, these two guys don't have eyes. They don't have any face. They provoke public anger and still refuse to repent. If Acumen College is filled with these kinds of people, then it's pretty much done for."
The true colors of the legendary "butcher" began to appear, and they came without any concealment.
Yue Zheng felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he had already loosened his mouth. He didn't have the qualifications to say anything. He could only stare blankly and say nothing.
But Ju Maoxun still wanted him to continue expressing his position. For this reason, he used a very intimate address. "Zhengzi, you don't mind teaching these two little guys a little lesson, right?"
Yue Zheng nearly blurted out "I don't mind," but he still had a bit of basic self-respect. When the words reached his mouth, his shoulders stiffly shrugged. He feigned a casual response. "I don't mind. As long as my little sister doesn't embarrass herself too much, it's fine."
Ju Maoxun laughed loudly as he patted his shoulder. He used a lot of strength. At this time, someone else shouted, "Fuck, the system is cheap to a certain level. It's loading an infinite killing environment. It's taking advantage of the situation to shuffle the cards! "
Ju Maoxun turned his head and scolded, "What the hell are you afraid of? The VIP room is just AFK for half an hour. If you want to go, hurry up and drive them back. We'll go to that private room over there to have fun. "
Yue Zheng stood to the side, becoming more and more embarrassed. Ju Maoxun took his hand away and turned his head to ask Ju Ling, who hadn't spoken much. "Brother, you're not coming to have some fun?"
He didn't hear a response. Perhaps the other side had just made a gesture, probably refusing.
Only then did Ju Maoxun say to Yue Zheng, "It's a lively time, so don't leave. There aren't many people here playing in the wilderness. There are still empty maglev cabins. You'll have a bit more fun."
It wasn't like Yue Zheng hadn't played in the VIP room's maglev cabins. He really didn't care. But since Ju Maoxun had offered an invitation, it was hard for him to refuse. He hesitated and said, "My peripherals don't match."
"It's fine. Re-scan … Oh, wait. Little Fan, there's a compatibility mode, right?"
"There is, there is." Fan Qu didn't look for a technician. He personally came to test it.
At this point, Yue Zheng couldn't say anything to refuse. He pinched his nose and said thanks. Under Ju Maoxun's gaze, he entered the maglev cabin. He sat in a moderately spacious seat. His body was comfortable, but his heart was completely uncertain.
What did Ju Maoxun want to do?
No matter how Yue Zheng struggled, Area A didn't lack for explosive topics tonight. Over a thousand people were watching the scene of cursing. There was also the gambling that had been opened on the spot. All of this placed this battle of "infinite slaughter" on a fiercely burning bonfire.
With so many people watching, there was no lack of sharp-eyed people. At the final loading stage of the environment, many people found something unusual when they saw the list of names.
"Fuck, there's even the VIP area mixed in."
"I was wondering why there were over thirty. So it's just a bunch of nouveau riches making up the numbers. Like this, they'll squeeze out at least five, six … seven spots, right?"
"Twenty or so is enough. Come on, let's have a total annihilation!"
"The VIP can open a Fantasy Breed. That's a boss template!"
"Sweep the trash and kill the boss!"
At this time, who cared about the final result? It was fine as long as they quickly gave them a good time!
Before, they were the lucky ones that made people envious. They were the focus of attention. Now they had become the objects of amusement. No matter if it was positive or negative, they would gladly endure it. This was the era of eyeballs, the era of entertainment.
Luo Nan, who was in the center of attention, had a strange sense of vanity. Perhaps it came from the resonance of the emotions of the masses. It was a subtle group mentality.
At the same time he saw through his own thoughts, he laughed out loud and switched hero characters.
Without much hesitation, he chose the ace firepower player of the Earth Corps, Heiya, who had fought with Zhang Yingying on the Ship Blocking Mountain. Under the current circumstances, being a heavy-armored firepower expert was certainly not the best choice. But this was the only character Luo Nan could be said to be familiar with. This was the only one.
A few seconds later, this sturdy senior officer carried the mechanical dog, Nubi. They were teleported to the cracked red earth of the wilderness.
This was already a public battlefield.
Xue Lei had been teleported to an area seven kilometers away from Luo Nan. He was madly dashing over to join them.
Today, they were the public enemies of the world. They would certainly be the targets of everyone's firepower. If they were to separate, it was very likely that they would be rubbed against the ground by this group of players.
Xue Lei's reaction wasn't slow, but he couldn't resist the magic of luck. The distance between the two was really too far. It was extremely difficult to quickly join forces.
From the results of the Fire-Eye platform's scan, Luo Nan could see that there were people charging over to intercept them. They even spoke on the public channel:
"Purify the environment! Clean up the trash!"
"Clean up the trash first, then communicate."
Uh, this was the naive type.
There was also a group of people who remained silent and concealed themselves. They were cautious and vigilant. This was the economic type. They didn't want to make a loss.
But at most, they would fire guns and set off firecrackers as soon as they entered the arena. They would go on a killing spree. This was the casual type. If someone were to question their purpose in coming here, they would definitely retort back with a single sentence:
"What's the point of blindly talking about a game? I'm happy!"
Yeah, it was so complicated. Wasn't it tiring?
Luo Nan's mind didn't have a fixed plan. He didn't think about success or failure. Ever since the game environment was matched and the battlefield of slaughter began, sanshou boxing practice ended. He just came here to pass the time.
His consciousness fused into the character of Heiya, and he brought Nubi along as he walked forward. But he was a bit far from the center of the battlefield. The movement speed of the heavy firepower gunner was also very moving. When all sides were moving quickly, he didn't know how long it would take for him to bring the first enemy into his range of fire.
In this small circle, Mo Peng and the others hated that they couldn't personally participate. They were ten times more excited than Luo Nan. The group of people screamed:
"Taunt! Taunt!"
"Huh?"
"Voice control. Give Nubi the order … …"
Luo Nan did as he was told. Then he saw the large mechanical dog that carried two rounds of ammunition. It barked and ran to the front. It turned around and raised one of its mechanical legs. Then … … it peed.
Of course, the liquid that rushed out was certainly a special chemical reagent. According to the system settings, it reacted with the red earth and emitted an eye-catching yellow smoke. It rushed into the sky and then turned into a distorted dog face that deserved a beating.
Heiya, the hero character, also followed the established procedures. He turned the thick gun barrel in his hand and scattered the bullets into the air. He loudly announced:
"Targets, walk to your final destination in the trash!"
