Baoding City was located to the north of Yellow River City. It was a large city located to the north of Shijiazhuang and to the south of Beijing.
Baoding City was not very famous in the Chinese server, but there was a small town outside Baoding City that was famous throughout the world of martial artists. There were few players in the Chinese server who did not know about it!
Dragon's Gate!
Legend had it that many years ago, Dragon's Gate was not called that, but during one of the Tartars' invasions, hundreds of people from Dragon's Gate worked together with the heroes from all over the land and the elites from various sects to defend the town. They defended the town for a total of three months, and in the end, they fought until the walls were completely destroyed. The people from the sects died, and only the leader of Dragon's Gate and a few escorts survived.
Blood dyed the entire town red!
The corpses of the elites from various sects, the escorts from Dragon's Gate, the citizens, and the elite soldiers from the Tartars were so numerous that they could not bury them!
During that battle, Dragon's Gate became famous in the world of martial artists.
Dragon's Gate also formed a bond of life and death with the people in the town because of that battle, and they decided to set up a branch in the town to connect the heroes from the north and south.
During that battle!
Dragon's Gate used its bravery to intimidate the people from both sides. From then on, none of the bandits within a circular area of hundreds of miles could stop Dragon's Gate's carriages.
The town was then renamed Dragon's Gate!
After that battle, Dragon's Gate became the only town in the Chinese server that did not have its walls repaired. At the same time, it became an important hub for the heroes from both sides to meet. The people from both sides were mixed together, and while the elites from both sides stayed together, they did not invade each other. Criminals were not wanted by the government, and it was clear just how much influence Dragon's Gate had in the area!
But to the players, Dragon's Gate was a place where quests could not be ignored in the game.
As their qi realm increased, the requirements for the quests from their sects became higher, and the requirements for their Reputation and Chivalry Points increased day by day. Every time they received a quest, they had to pay tens of thousands of Reputation and Chivalry Points.
In the Chinese server, only by accepting quests from the escort agencies and receiving quests to protect carriages or individuals could they gain a lot of Reputation within a short period of time. (The people from the evil path were the opposite. They mainly robbed and killed people.)
Dragon's Gate was the largest escort agency in the Chinese server!
It was one of the few places that could give out high-difficulty quests, and it attracted countless Chinese players from all over the land.
Almost every day, there would be hundreds of thousands of players passing through this place!
It was also because of this that the number of restaurants, tea houses, brothels, and gambling dens around Dragon's Gate Escort Agency increased, and they gradually formed a scale.
A city in the wilderness without city walls stood at the hub of the north and south!
…
Dragon's Gate did not lack restaurants.
The restaurant gathered the latest and most timely information from all over the world, and it was a place where many players who did not have any faction of power or great wealth were willing to stay for a long time. They could gather a lot of information from the restaurants in the market, and from there, they could easily understand the current situation in the world of martial artists.
The restaurant also had people in charge of gathering intelligence here!
Right when a handsome man with a gentle personality walked into the hall of a restaurant near Dragon Gate Escort Agency, someone inside immediately smiled and waved at him.
"Hey! Here! "
Here, speaking loudly and greeting others would not make them feel disgusted. Instead, it would reveal a trace of boldness and sincerity.
"Uncle Sword."
The handsome man smiled, walked over, and sat down beside the middle-aged man.
"How is it? How have you been?"
"Same old."
The handsome man smiled, but there seemed to be a trace of heaviness hidden between his brows.
The middle-aged man across him ordered a pot of wine for him.
"You're lying to me? Everyone in Dragon Gate Escort Agency knows that I have the best information network. Do you think you can hide that from me? "
"…"
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. My intentions are still the same. Come and fight with me. Even though I can't help you fight against Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, Dragon's Gate Escort Agency is our territory, and even if we run into Class One Hall, we won't be afraid." Uncle Sword was around forty years old, and he seemed to have quite a bit of reputation in the area. When he said these words, the people at the tables around him cast envious gazes at the handsome man.
He smiled wanly, sighed, and answered, "Uncle Sword, you know that my goal is different from yours.
I have a job outside, and I can support myself. I don't want to just gather information and work for others in World of Martial Arts. I'm sorry. "
"Tea Words." Uncle Sword might have been rejected, but he was not surprised at all.
"I know that your dream is the same as many people's, but you also know your current situation. You've offended Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, and if you want to become famous in World of Martial Arts, unless you delete your character and start over, you will never be able to become famous in your life."
"…"
Tea Words did not say anything.
The handsome man sitting across Uncle Sword was Tea Words, the vice sect master of Beautiful Robes Faction in the past.
Uncle Sword continued trying to persuade him.
"A month ago, you were killed twice by Blood Alliance in the wild. You can't train, and you can only do information gathering quests. I learned about it on that day."
"…"
"Over this period of time, I was the one who provided you with information quests. You were very diligent, and you did a good job. You earned about one Illusion Life and Death Pill. Reality has proven that you youngsters are very quick-witted. That's why I want to train you to be my successor and help me maintain Head Hunters! Once you officially join Head Hunters, you will be the vice sect master. At that time, what you will get will be several times or even ten times what you get now! "
"Uncle Sword …"
"Don't be in a hurry to reject me. Think about it carefully." Uncle Sword stopped talking for a moment before he said, "Even though the classmate you mentioned has returned to the ranks of the top-class elites in the Chinese server, over the past two months or so, he hasn't contacted the original members of Beautiful Robes Faction. He might not remember you, and Beautiful Robes Faction might not be able to rise from the ashes."
He patted Tea Words' shoulder, got up, and was prepared to leave!
At that moment, a few people suddenly rushed in like the wind.
"Boss! The latest news! It's explosive news! "
"Uncle Sword! Hurry! First-class news! If we sell it, it will definitely be worth a lot of money! "
The group of people rushed in hastily. Their words caused quite a number of people in the restaurant to have their expressions change, and they quickly surrounded them.
Head Hunters' information had always been categorized into different grades!
First-class news was important information that was only second to top-class news! Speed up! It was the kind that was extremely urgent!
Uncle Sword immediately stopped moving and sat across Tea Words. He had the others sit by his sides.
The group of people moved their lips.
Tea Words quietly watched them communicate with each other using private messages. His pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at one of the people's moving lips. During that period of time, he carefully hid the shock in his eyes!
"I got it. I'll give you the reward based on the ratio of top-class news!" Once Uncle Sword listened to them for a while, he quickly regained his composure. He waved his hand and had his subordinates leave. His gaze moved to Tea Words' face again.
"It's indeed good top-class news. Tea Words, do you want to know what happened in World of Martial Arts?"
"…"
Tea Words had already looked away at that moment and shook his head gently.
Uncle Sword's method of obtaining information was very old-fashioned. He obtained it from the streets of various cities, and it was not exactly hidden information. But this sort of free information still had some room for profit in the current world of martial artists.
For example!
If something major happened south of Changjiang, and it might affect the north of Changjiang, even though the forum would soon erupt in an uproar, the people in the game would have to wait for at least half an hour or even longer before they received the news.
That period of time was the room for profit.
Head Hunters were in charge of gathering information, and they were also in charge of contacting buyers to sell their information to those who needed it!
These buyers could be a specific player, a small sect, or even a huge existence like Wind Assault Tower.
Hence …
There were three, six, and nine grades in it.
They set the price based on the urgency of the time.
Tea Words had once helped Head Hunters obtain a batch of high-grade information, such as the locations of certain NPCs, certain quest items that were publicly sold in the market, and even information about players who had the Killer Star effect on them.
"It's rare to run into top-class information."
"You're right. The appearance of top-class information can at least bring us tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver. If we do it well, we can even double that amount." As he spoke, Uncle Sword quickly released more than ten messenger pigeons with a smile on his face.
"What I can tell you now is that this information is related to Happy."
"I know."
"Oh?"
Uncle Sword was stunned.
Just now, a few people from Head Hunters had rushed over and accurately told him the specific time when Class One Hall's branch was attacked. During that period of time, Tea Words did not send any messenger pigeons to them.
It was impossible for Tea Words to know about something that happened hundreds of miles away, unless he had other spies and helpers in the restaurant.
"You said that you know about it? Why don't you tell me?"
Uncle Sword did not quite believe him.
Tea Words smiled and took a swig of wine.
"Let me make a guess. Uncle Sword, the targets of your message just now should be the alliance masters from the cities in the south of the coastal area, right?"
Even though Uncle Sword was prepared to obtain information from Tea Words, he did not expect that Tea Words would directly tell him the targets of his message just now.
"I wanted you to help me in Head Hunters because you're smart and well-informed. Besides, you seem to have a pretty good source of information."
"Uncle Sword, you praise me too much."
Tea Words smiled faintly.
"Even though my ambition is not in Head Hunters, I'm indebted to you for taking care of me. I might as well give you a suggestion. Let's expand the range of buyers for this information!"
"I'd like to hear the details!"
Uncle Sword's eyes lit up.
In truth, it was not difficult to obtain information, but he needed to think of more suitable buyers during the short period of time when the information was spread. This was the part where he needed to use his brain the most.
The more buyers there were, the more profit he could gain from this information!
"Since Happy is already prepared to take down Class One Hall's branch in Shijiazhuang, he will definitely mobilize quite a number of sects to fight against Class One Hall. Aside from the alliance of sects in the south of the coastal area, which is the furthest away from Beijing and has the greatest ability to fight against Class One Hall, we can also mobilize the sects in the north. Happy might not have just come from Nanjing to destroy a normal branch.
"…"
When he heard the last part, Uncle Sword seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed, and he sucked in a sharp breath. "That's a bold thought!"
