The sun was setting in the west.
Red Lake City was a beautiful city with beautiful lakes and mountains. Coupled with the fiery sunset, the city was even more enchanting. In this kind of scenery, the originally cold buildings also became as gentle as water.
Ye Ci sat in the enchanting sunset, blinking her eyes at the man beside her. Then, she turned her head to the other side and looked at the lake and mountains in the distance. She stuck out her little finger and began to pick at her ear. Her expression seemed to be saying, "I think I heard wrong. I think I heard wrong."
That's right. Her expression and actions were all expressing the same meaning.
The man sitting beside her sighed and massaged his temples. He felt that it was difficult to communicate with this woman. It was such a simple question, why did she have to be like this? He replied, "I said it clearly, and you didn't hear wrong either."
Ye Ci stopped picking at her ear and turned to look at Breeze's expressionless face. She let out a sigh and pursed her lips, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Gongzi You, since I was able to find you, I naturally know something that others don't. Let's not beat around the bush." Breeze had done a lot of research on Gongzi You and knew many of her habits. He knew that it was best not to beat around the bush with this woman. This woman was very treacherous, and if he beat around the bush with her, he would easily get himself into trouble. When discussing business with this woman, it was best to be frank and straightforward. This way, everything was laid out on the table. Perhaps you could even gain a lot of benefits. Otherwise, you would really suffer a loss that would make your heart ache.
In this world, there were some people who were willing to be cheated by others. However, Breeze was not one of them. He was not a greedy person, but he was also someone who did not like to suffer losses.
Ye Ci did not seem to understand what Breeze was saying. She continued to stare at Breeze and blinked her eyes. She looked innocent, but there was a hidden scheme behind her eyes. Breeze leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and looked at Ye Ci from the side. His slender fingers tapped lightly on his arm. He was not in a hurry at all. Breeze knew that Gongzi You must be thinking about this problem. If she did not think it through, she would not make a decision. This was very similar to him.
That was why Breeze did not rush her at all.
Ye Ci stopped picking at her ear and narrowed her eyes. Bai Mo and Bai Mo were the only ones who knew about the Southern Continent Quest Lock. Bai Mo would never tell anyone about it, and Bai Mo would never tell anyone about it. How did Breeze find out?
"You know something that others don't know …" Ye Ci repeated Breeze's words softly. Her gaze swept across Breeze's body like a flirtatious actress. It was extremely seductive. Then, the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile. She lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "Since this is something that no one else knows about, how can you be sure that it's true?"
Qingfeng was stunned speechless by her rhetorical question. He stared at Ye Ci with his eyebrows slowly knitted together. It was as if he was thinking about something that gave him a headache. "Gongzi You, the quest lock for the Southern Continent's Mithril ore vein is with you. I'm not here to play games with you. I'm here to get my hands on the quest lock." Gongzi You was stunned for a moment before speaking up, "Gongzi You, the quest lock for the Southern Continent's Mithril ore vein is with you. I'm not here to play games with you.
Ye Ci raised her eyebrows. She could not help but feel a little helpless. Seriously, is he going to tell me everything so soon? She actually wanted Breeze to beat around the bush with her. That way, she might be able to take advantage of him. However, it seemed that Breeze was not an easy person to deal with. She shrugged, "Would you mind if I say that I don't know what you're talking about?"
"I don't mind what you say." Breeze chuckled, "Because what you say is not important in the face of the truth." Breeze spread out his hands and looked at the red sun that was about to set. He slowly let out a sigh, "Just like now, evening is evening. Even if ten thousand people say that it is morning, evening is still evening. This is the truth."
This time, it was Ye Ci's turn to frown. She looked at Breeze with displeasure. Ye Ci had never liked being seen through by others, let alone by Thimble's opponent. The feeling of being seen through was quite unpleasant. However, she had no way of refuting Qingfeng's words. She could only stare at Qingfeng with a cold glare. Breeze did not seem to care at all. He sat there quietly as if he was planning something.
Ye Ci stared at Breeze. She suddenly felt a little strange. In her previous life, although she was a solo player, although she was also a top player, she was still somewhat fearful of the commander of such a large guild. However, in this life, why did she not feel the same at all? It was something that Ye Ci wanted the most in her past life.
However, why did everything seem so strange in this life? She looked at Breeze. This man was just like her. Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. What was there to be envious of? She felt a lot of sympathy for him. "Alright, it's the truth. So what?" Ye Ci was in a good mood. She no longer cared about how Breeze knew about the Southern Continent Quest Lock. "Alright, it's a fact. So what?"
So what?
Breeze raised his eyebrows slightly as he mulled over those words. What a hateful word. With just a few words, the position of the two of them and the angle of being passive and active immediately showed who was superior. Breeze sighed in his heart. This was the reason why he did not want to beg others.
Any matter, no matter how big or small, as long as the word "beg" was involved, no matter how honorable one's status was, one's position would immediately be lowered by three points. How many people in this world would be willing to lower themselves to others? Of course he didn't, let alone Breeze. In the past, as long as it involved begging others, he would always think of a way to turn the situation around. He was used to having the initiative, no matter who it was. However, the person in front of him did not allow him to take the initiative. It was truly infuriating.
When Breeze found out that the Southern Continent's Mithril ore vein quest lock was in Gongzi You's hands, he immediately felt a headache coming on. Gongzi You was the first person in Fate who could give him a headache and prevent him from taking control of the situation. He had fought with her a few times, and the best result was a draw. It was because of this that Breeze did not want to have anything to do with her. He even gave up on his plan to attack Up Everyday and went straight to other guilds.
In fact, he made the right decision.
When he bypassed Up Everyday, Breeze found that as long as he did not have to deal with Gongzi You, it was extremely easy for him to subdue other small to medium sized guilds. From that moment onwards, he decided that until the game Fate was revealed, he would try his best not to have anything to do with this woman.
However, man's plans were not as good as God's.
In the end, he still fell in front of this woman. The Mithril ore vein quest lock that he had been longing for was not in the hands of anyone else, but this woman. After a year, Mithril ore had become the most important metal in Fate. The drop rate of Mithril in dungeons was extremely low, but the demand for it was very high. If a player did not equip their weapon with Mithril, they would not be able to deal with monsters above lvl 80. If a player did not equip their equipment with Mithril, they would be easily wiped out by these monsters.
With such a setting, the Guild that controlled the Mithril ore vein would be in the limelight for a while. So far, only four Mithril ore veins had been discovered. Three of them were occupied by Up Everyday, Genesis and Stellar Union. Not only that, but these three guilds were also allied with each other. No matter which guild Golden Era attacked, the other two guilds would give their all to help them. This was probably what they meant by the saying, "When one rises, all rises, and when one falls, all falls." Although Golden Era was powerful and had a large number of players, there were only a few high level players. It would be difficult for them to take on three guilds by themselves. Not to mention, these guilds had many allied guilds with them.
Just like in real life, the game was full of complicated relationships. Under such circumstances, Golden Era needed at least one Mithril ore vein in order to secure their position as the overlord of the game. However, the last Mithril ore vein was in the hands of Gongzi You.
This was the only reason why Breeze had come to Ye Ci despite his reluctance.
"Gongzi You." Breeze sighed again. It seemed that the chances of him sighing had greatly increased after meeting this woman. "I have come to you with all sincerity. I hope that you can sell the quest lock to Golden Era. You can name the price." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
