While Silvermoon was regretting her actions, Jiannan You frowned when he heard the news from Glue. Ever since they started out, Jiannan You and the others had only imagined this kind of situation. They had never experienced it before because they were worried that it would happen, so they would carefully hide their true intentions. But this time, because the opponent had Gu Fei, who knew Jiannan You and the others very well, their intentions were completely exposed. This Mang Mang had obviously guessed that the only thing worth dropping from her was the staff.
What should they do when this happened? Jiannan You and the others had seriously discussed it before. The conclusion was that it was too troublesome, so they had to nip it in the bud. Besides, most people might not have the determination to give up on the high quality equipment, so they weren't really worried about it. They didn't expect Mang Mang Mang to be so bold, giving up on the high quality equipment just like that.
"What should we do?" Everyone looked at Jiannan You. Obviously, Jiannan You's group was much more cohesive than Lan Yi's group. Whenever there was a problem, everyone would look to their boss.
"I've already received the deposit. Even though it's from that trash Silvermoon, I don't want to compensate her just because we can't complete the quest." Jiannan You said.
"Okay!" Everyone was very supportive. When Jiannan You came back and told everyone about it, they were all very angry. She had repeatedly doubted the professionalism of their group. This was too hurtful.
"Let's go to the auction house first!" Huo Renyi suggested.
"Wait!" Jiannan You suddenly froze. Everyone looked at him again.
Jiannan You nodded.
The seven of them walked back from the leveling area. They passed by a few areas and found that there were fewer people leveling today than usual. Just as they were puzzled, they finally returned to the city gate of White Stone City. It was already midnight, but the city gate was unexpectedly lively. It was obvious that something unusual had happened. However, when the seven of them paid attention, they found that it was just random parties gathering people to level up.
This situation was extremely rare. Because everyone was a random party, they didn't know each other. Not enough people? Then two parties would form one party, three parties would form two parties. It would usually be solved quickly. There was no need to wait for a long time. However, at this moment, there were so many parties waiting. Jiannan You and the others paid more attention and finally saw that all the teams were Priests.
"Bro, what's going on?" Glue went up to a player and asked.
"Damn, I heard that there's an exquisite priest staff for sale in the Exchange Hall, and all the priests have gone there. If you say you want to buy, then bid. If you don't want to buy, then just watch. What's the point of everyone wasting their time there? "This person was full of complaints.
"Is that so? How long have you been waiting here? "Glue asked.
"Almost half an hour. Damn it, there are still several queues in front of us! "
After listening to his words, Glue paid more attention and found that the teams were still arranged in order. Perhaps the arrival of the Priest had caused a commotion, so now everyone was lining up harmoniously. When a Priest came, a line would form, and when a Priest came, a line would form. You want two priests? Today, this is an unrealistic fantasy.
He wanted to go back and report the situation to Jiannan You and the others, but he found that they were already in chaos. The players waiting for the Priests at the city gate were all anxious. When the two Great Priests appeared, they were immediately surrounded and tried to rope them in. The two didn't even say anything, but the others had already started arguing.
"Damn, what are you fighting for? We agreed to do it in order," someone shouted.
"Damn, one for each Priest. Are you trying to rope them all in?"
"There's still one more, and it's not your turn! It's our team's turn! "
"Our team! Our team! "
It was fine if the Priests came one by one, as everyone had some discipline. Now that two suddenly appeared, it immediately caused a commotion. What hadn't Dao Xiangmu and Lin Sensen seen before? This was the first time they had experienced something like this. Being treated like a boss by so many people felt great, and they didn't understand. In the end, it was Jiannan You who spoke up, "Everyone, calm down, we're a fixed team."
"Big brother, your team only has six people. Two Priests, that's too extravagant. Let us have one?" Someone saw that Jiannan You seemed to be the boss and immediately came over to curry favor.
"Let? Are you joking? Big brother, we'll hire one of your Priests, 50 gold an hour! "
Jiannan You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We're busy now!"
"What can be more important than leveling up?" These people didn't give up. They were already dumbfounded from waiting for the Priests. Some even went to instigate Dao Xiangmu and Lin Sensen, "Brothers, I see that your team's level isn't high. Some of you aren't even level 40. What's the point of following you? Come with us. It's a ten-man team, all level 41.
The two of them didn't speak and continued to enjoy the treatment of an emperor. They glanced at Black Water and Flaming Shirt, the two noobs who weren't even level 40.
"You two bastards, say something!" Jiannan You was furious when he saw the two of them acting so inappropriately at such a crucial moment. He shouted at the two of them in the team channel.
The two of them didn't dare to continue and hurriedly explained to the people surrounding them, "There's something, there's really something."
Since the main character had spoken, the surrounding players tried to persuade them, but they could only leave helplessly. Jiannan You and the others didn't dare to stay any longer. They all left the area where the Priests were treated like treasures.
"Damn, isn't it just selling an exquisite staff? It actually made all the Priests in the city nervous? "Flaming Shirt said with lingering fear. Just now, a bunch of people had come up to curry favor with Dao Xiangmu and Lin Sensen. As a little Mage who wasn't even level 40, he wasn't treated as a human at all. Some strength-based professions were too heavy-handed. Flaming Shirt was almost pulled to death by so many hands.
"The value of exquisite equipment is really immeasurable!" Black Water exclaimed.
Even Jiannan You nodded, "This is just a staff in the boundless wilderness! If it was Qianli's sword with unknown attributes or Silvermoon's trashy King's Sword, what would have happened? "
"Tsk tsk, we chose this profession because we have such a bright future!" Glue said.
"Yes, yes, yes …" The seven of them shed tears of happiness. They were proud that they had chosen to rob for a living …
"The auction house is just ahead." The seven of them finally arrived near the auction house. Previously, when Jiannan You and the others were busy getting out of trouble, Glue had inquired about the situation of the staff on consignment and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the ideal staff. In addition, he had also inquired about the time when the staff would be on consignment and the situation that there was no fixed price.
The Priests who came to the auction house obviously wanted to see the attributes and price of the staff. Jiannan You and the others didn't care. After arriving near the auction house, the seven of them paid more attention to the surrounding terrain.
"This might be a trap!" On the way, Jiannan You suddenly made this hypothesis.
"A trap?" The six of them frowned.
"No matter how I look at it, I feel that the staff has caused a huge commotion. It's only been about seven hours and it's already spread like wildfire. Don't you think it's a bit exaggerated? "Jiannan You said.
"This … such a high quality equipment is indeed rarely consigned for sale in the Auction House. No one knows what will happen next, "Huo Renyi said.
"I know that. But think about it, when such an exquisite piece of equipment appeared in the auction house, everyone who wanted it would try to block the news as much as possible. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Therefore, the source of the news should only be those who liked to gossip. With their strength, how could the whole city know about it within seven hours? Don't you think it's a bit strange? "Jiannan You said.
"It's not just seven hours. Seven hours is only the current time. I heard that the Priests started to get nervous at around ten at night," Glue interrupted.
"That's even more obvious. It's only been two hours, yet the news spread so quickly. I think someone is purposely spreading it?" Jiannan You said.
"This … isn't hard to understand? For example, the seller. Spreading the news as much as possible to let more people know, "Flaming Shirt said.
"Mm, I heard that there's even a post on the forum," Glue said.
"I know it's possible, but considering the relationship between us and the seller, we have to be careful," Jiannan You said.
"What do you mean?"
"There are two possibilities." Jiannan You raised his finger, "First, the whole city knows. There's no reason for us not to know. Mang Mang is using this to send us a message. The staff isn't in her hands, so don't look for her."
Everyone nodded.
"If that's the case, then it's good. What's more troublesome is that there's a trap within a trap! If we take this as a possibility, then we have to find out who will have the staff. Then, we have to start monitoring the NPC in the auction house the moment the auction ends. This will give the other party a chance to ambush us! This is the second possibility that we need to worry about, "Jiannan You said.
"Who would have such a deep calculation …"
"I don't know. The scariest part of this scheme is that even if we suspect it's a trap, we have to act according to his wishes. He knows that we aren't willing to take the risk of failing the quest, "Jiannan You said.
"Hey, it's just suspicion! Don't make it sound so serious, "Glue said.
Jiannan You smiled bitterly, "He needs our suspicion. It would be great if we were 100% serious."
"Then what should we do? Won't it be dangerous for us to go over now? "Glue said.
"We won't go in. Let's observe the surroundings first," Jiannan You decided.
At this moment, the seven of them arrived near the auction house and walked around the surrounding streets and alleys.
"I didn't find anything strange." They were all experts at ambushing others. Setting up an ambush was also their forte. At this time, after walking around, they only saw Clerics running around. There was nothing strange.
"The center of the city is wide and there are many streets. If they want to set up an ambush here, the most important thing is manpower. I don't think a guild that isn't rank 4 or above can completely lock down this area. There are only so many streets, can they defend it? "Glue came to this conclusion after observing.
