Unsworn Sword spoke in a sorrowful tone as he told the story from start to finish. The six Childe Elite Group players were in pain as they listened. Holding back their laughter was as painful as holding back their tears.
Unsworn Sword sighed as he recounted the story. In the end, he asked in confusion, "What do you think is going on?"
The six of them looked at each other. The Han Family Young Master 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 outcome was not out of everyone's expectations. The large group of players were escorted back to the city by the guards and went straight to the dungeon. Just like that, they disappeared into the black hole of the dungeon entrance under everyone's gaze.
Although all communication would be forcibly cut off in the dungeon, there was a setting for visitation. There was only one word for visitation: money. As long as you paid up, you could do anything with the prisoners inside other than bail them out. There was also no time limit. It was very popular among 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. Three parts forward, seven parts back. He was worried that the system god would immediately recognize that he was the boss of the criminals.
In the end, what he was worried about did not happen. The dungeon guards did as they usually did. After paying a hefty visitation fee, Unsworn Sword went in to greet his brothers.
The players in the dungeon were as clueless as Unsworn Sword. They knew a little more than Unsworn Sword. They only knew that they would be in jail for four hours. As for the reason, the system did not issue an official announcement. However, 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, their actions did seem like robbers, 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 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 Childe Elite Group waiting for him outside the dungeon, he only reacted after a while and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The Han Family Young Master sighed. "Have you forgotten? Bring the note to Qianli 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 the Han Family Young Master. "Can you contact the other mercenary group leaders?"
The Han Family Young Master shook his head.
Unsworn Sword looked like he was about to collapse. "Damn it, I still have to inform these people." Clearly, the person in charge of contacting these people was the Reflection of Years. Unsworn Sword, as the guild leader, didn't seem to care about these trivial matters.
"Then I'll continue this tomorrow?" Gu Fei waved the note at 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 saying a few words to the others, he cursed and left with his other brothers.
"Should we … try it out now?" Gu Fei asked the other five for their opinion.
"Of course, how else 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 City. It was a masked woman who looked like a wizard. She was the appraisal teacher of all players in Moonlit City.
"Give me the account book." Gu Fei gestured to the Han Family Young Master.
"Wait!" Brother You said.
"What?" Everyone looked at Brother You.
"Let me try first. I want to see if this quest can only be completed by Qianli, 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 went to meet the werewolf with Qianli. Logically speaking, it seems like you accepted this quest with Qianli, "Sword Demon said.
"Makes sense." Brother You nodded.
"Let me try!" Sword Demon stretched out his hand and asked for the note and account book.
Gu Fei looked at them. 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!
The Sword Ghost took the note and the account book and requested the appraiser to appraise the handwriting of the two items. Everyone was worried that the NPC didn't understand what they were talking about. The appraiser nodded and raised two fingers. "Two hundred gold coins."
"Damn!!!" The six of them cursed.
"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 Demon weakly interrupted everyone. "Hey, are you going to appraise it or not?"
"Appraise it. Wool comes from the sheep," Han Family Young Master said.
Therefore, the Sword Ghost took out 200 gold coins and tossed them to the appraiser before handing over the note and the account book.
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 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 time to experience the tense moment of holding their breath and staring. Two hundred gold coins were spent 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 do something to appraise it. Such a perfunctory process really made them unhappy.
But no matter what, since the system had already spoken, it meant two things.
First, Adrian was the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Second, this plot wasn't only completed by Gu Fei. Han Family Young Master hid Adrian's account book and caused a lot of trouble for Unhindered.
"Now that the plot is completed? Will Adrian admit it when we go back? "Sword Demon asked the others.
Everyone was confused. The logic in a parallel world was not 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 players' nerves …
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 get Adrian to admit his guilt.
"Proof? My words are proof! "The masked woman was surprisingly arrogant.
Six great experts had been looked down upon by an NPC. The six of them could not help but feel indignant as they left.
"Are we going to find Adrian now?"
"Of course, how can we sleep if we don't go …"
And so, 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 Unsworn Sword that they couldn't continue for the day, they were all unhappy that they had wasted an entire night.
"Looks like this Unhindered quest will offend quite a few people!" Brother You looked at the unhappy players and sighed.
"They lack the qualities of a professional mercenary." Han Family Young Master said. The five of them looked at him.
"Including us." He continued.
"Tch!" The five of them looked at him with disdain.
"With so many mercenaries gathered together, there's no way they'll be united. If they succeed in this Unhindered quest, then they'll be lucky. If they fail, then they'll be ruined because of this failure. Let's wait and see. "Han Family Young Master said.
"You … … why do you look like you're hoping for them to fail!" Gu Fei said.
"I'm just not happy with the atmosphere. He invited us over, but he doesn't trust us enough. Tsk tsk, does he really think he can get people to do things for him just by spending some money? One look and I can tell he's not made for a boss. "Han Family 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 your frequent extortion has made them afraid, so they're avoiding us. You see, this is abnormal. "
"Extortion? If it was extortion, then it wouldn't be this price. That's because they're jealous. They hate that we always have to help them at the crucial moment, so they're avoiding us. To be honest, 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 twenty people from the Black Hand mercenary group! "
"That's too much!" Gu Fei was angry, "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 is reasonable. "Han Family Young Master said.
The Sword Ghost nudged him and said, "There's extortion. You hid their account book."
Han Family Young Master looked at him in disdain, "This isn't extortion, this is fighting for business."
Everyone was speechless.
