Star Trace Gate

Trade market, on the long street.

The aggressive young man looked at the man who had been interrupted by him with a playful look, slowly raised his arm, pointed at the man's cheek and asked with a smile: "Did you hear me clearly this time? Do you know that I am scolding you?"

This young man looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, of medium build, with a thin face and a pair of eyes full of arrogance. He was wearing a loose casual outfit with a slightly hip-hop style, and his expression was full of teasing and provocation.

Next to the stall, the man who was being scolded looked very unhappy. He glanced around and saw many players looking at him.

His name is Guo Yan, he is the year-old man of Jianghang City, and he is currently a second-level yellow-clothed man in his unit. This time, he and two teammates were responsible for purchasing some props for the team. Everything went smoothly at first, but he never thought that when they were about to finish buying, they were intercepted by others and scolded.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon.

Generally, in large star gates with a large number of participating players, as long as there are no faction restrictions, all kinds of people can participate. In addition, there are no laws or rules here, so conflicts between players are common.

After being scolded, Guo Yan looked at the young man coldly, then turned to the stall owner and said, "Give me back the Xingyuan. I won't buy it anymore."

The player who was setting up the stall did not want to offend anyone, so he immediately returned the Star Source to Guo Yan and took the initiative to explain: "Brother, I sell goods to make money. I will do business with whoever offers the highest price. Don't be angry."

Guo Yan took the Xingyuan and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, the young man in hip-hop clothes reached out to take the props he had intercepted, and whispered: "Haha, people outside say that this Shousui man fights hard in the real world, but once he enters the star gate, he is submissive and willing to be a cuckold. This is really true... Without the support of the unit, he dare not talk back when being scolded. He has a very docile personality."

"Haha."

"Is that silly guy the one who keeps watch over the New Year?"

"Damn, has he always been so good-tempered?"

"...!"

Around them, many players from the Chaos Camp started discussing and laughing mockingly after hearing what the hip-hop youth said.

The two camps of order and chaos have been fighting and grudges for a long time. However, in the real world of China, the Shousui people are the ones who control the laws and rules. This is why those players who have committed crimes and are wanted would rather squat in the dark star gates like Black Cage Castle, slowly climb up, and earn star sources at all costs, but dare not show their heads in the real society.

In China, the Guardians have absolute organizational power. Any player who provokes the authorities and breaks the social rules will be punished by the "law".

However, if this realm is radiated to the entire Star Gate World, the power of the Guardians will appear very weak. Because the Star Gate World is too vast and numerous, it is like asking the police of a country to ensure social order within their own territory, that is fine; but if you ask them to protect multiple countries, or the entire world, that is simply impossible.

In the Stargate world, there is no organization that can establish rules and order, so the players of the Chaos Camp act in completely different ways here and outside.

In the Star Gate World, they have no scruples. Even players from the Order camp like Wang Dong dare to kill people wantonly, because the authorities cannot control it.

Guo Yan wanted to leave the stall and didn't want to cause any trouble, but the other party not only scolded him, but also pointed out his identity as a person who stayed up all night, which forced him to stop.

There were too many people watching the fun around, so at this moment, he was not representing himself, but the entire official organization.

Turning around, Guo Yan looked at the hip-hop youth again: "Are you not done yet?"

"Oh, I can't even speak casually." The hip-hop youth replied with a joking expression: "Master Shousuiren, you are too nosy!"

"Tap!"

Just as he finished speaking, two more people who were keeping watch came running over from a distance. They were all Guo Yan's teammates. They were buying things nearby. When they saw the conflict here, they immediately ran over.

"What's wrong, Xiao Guo?"

"Did you run into a mad dog?"

The two stood beside Guo Yan and looked up at each other.

"There is strength in numbers." The hip-hop youth spread his hands and curled his lips, saying, "As expected, the people who keep watch on the New Year themselves cannot fight. They must use the majority to bully the minority."

"Shut your stinky mouth? What are you doing? Want to fight?" A person who was keeping watch on the left asked with raised eyebrows.

The hip-hop youth held the stolen prop in his hand, stared at Guo Yan, and asked word by word: "I just don't like you, let's have a solo? If you win, I'll pay for this prop and give it to you for free. If you lose, you have to pay for a prop too, so I can go to Black Cage Castle to exchange it for money."

"Shabi."

The team member on the right said to Guo Yan, "Ignore him, he's a psychopath, a mad dog."

At this moment, Guo Yan actually didn't want to get entangled with the other party, because the other party's identity was unknown, his intentions were unclear, and he looked like a mentally ill lunatic.

When the three were about to leave after a brief argument, the hip-hop youth looked at Guo Yan with disdain and shouted in a loud voice, "A good friend of mine was killed by you without any evidence in Jianghang. I just don't accept it and want to fight you. If you don't dare, that's fine... just turn around and leave. You won't lose anything if you continue to be a cuckold. Haha, isn't this the consistent policy of you Shousui people in the Star Gate?"

Guo Yan, who was about to leave, suddenly had veins popping out on his forehead: "You are such a mean person."

"Bobo bobo." The hip-hop youth pursed his lips and made a series of kissing gestures towards Guo Yan: "It's really itchy."

"Ha ha!"

Laughter broke out all around.

"boom!"

Facing the continuous provocations from the hip-hop youth, Guo Yan could no longer bear it. Star source fluctuations surged all over his body, and he clenched his fists and said, "If you scold me, I can ignore you, but if you attack the people who keep watch, this matter will definitely not end! Come on, SOLO!!"

"Oh, he's anxious, he's anxious."

The hip-hop youth pointed at the two people who were keeping watch nearby and asked with a relaxed look, "You two big idiots, you are not going to bully the minority with your numbers, are you?!"

Not far away, in a restaurant, a man looked at the scene of the conflict with interest, a smile on his face.

……

Around the trade market, inside the Fuman Teahouse.

Dozens of people who had arrived early to stay up until the New Year had already sat down in groups of three or five, drinking tea and chatting.

This is the temporary gathering place for those who keep watch over the New Year inside this star gate.

In fact, after each star gate with a larger population is opened, there will be a special person among the people who keep the New Year's Eve watch to choose a suitable place at this star gate as a temporary gathering center.

Generally, these people are managers at the city area level. After they enter the star gate and choose a location, they will distribute some secret codes for people to stay up all the way, and then announce the location through word of mouth so that everyone can come and gather.

There are two advantages to doing this. First, the Shou Sui Ren plays the role of law enforcer in the real world, which will inevitably offend the Chaos Faction players. If they run alone, they are easily attacked and retaliated. However, if everyone gathers together, the organization will not dare to cause trouble at will.

The second is that after the gathering, everyone can exchange information, circulate needed props, help each other, and so on.

This Fuman Teahouse was initiated by a regional yellow-clad stay-at-home man in Jianghang City. After two hours of information transmission, most of the stay-at-home people knew about this location and rushed to chat and communicate with each other for a long time.

On the second floor of the teahouse, in a private room.

Yang Nan and eight second-level watchmen, regional-level cadres, were chatting with Ren Ye and the other two.

There are many people here. Although Ren has never seen them before, he doesn't feel much of a barrier when chatting with them. Instead, he feels a sense of closeness as if he met fellow villagers in a foreign land.

As the group drank tea and ate dried fruits, a player from the Northeast said to Ren Ye: "Last time we went to Qingliang Mansion to help, a brother from our side also participated."

"I know, I know, Brother Wang." Ren also nodded with a smile: "We are still in touch now."

"Yeah, he hasn't reached level 2 yet, otherwise he would have come here." The Northeast player replied, and took the initiative to ask: "Brother Ren Ye, there are only three people in your team?"

"Yes." Ren Ye replied truthfully: "I originally wanted to ask a girl from my old unit to join, but she should have entered the Star Gate, so I haven't contacted her yet."

The girl he was talking about was naturally Gu Nian, who was about to reach the second level, but he didn't know if she succeeded. Anyway, Ren called her several times, but no one answered the phone. After asking colleagues from his old unit, he learned that she had entered the Star Gate for a long time.

"Brother, here, if the team is not fully staffed, it will be a disadvantage." The Northeast player said righteously: "How about this, I will quit the team and join you. Let's travel to a few star gates together. You have to find suitable teammates, and I will leave the team and come back."

"Yes, if you need someone, I'll go too." Yang Nan nodded in agreement: "My team is quite mature, one less person won't have much impact."

"Need it? I can come over too."

"...!"

Several good brothers had no selfish motives when they spoke. They simply felt that since Ren Ye had few team members, he would be at a disadvantage if competition broke out, so they were willing to quit their own team and go help him.

As soon as these words came out, Ren Ye felt a warm current in his heart. He remembered that when he joined the Shou Sui people, Fan Ming once said that no matter which star gate you are in, as long as you see a blank tablet on the other person, he is your comrade-in-arms.

Now it seems that this is not an exaggeration.

Ren also thought about it, turned his head to look at Xu Qingzhao and Lao Liu, pondered it carefully in his mind, and just as he was about to reply, he heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

"Something happened!"

A girl ran up and shouted, "Someone is fighting with our players in the trade market!"

……

at the same time.

Wang Tu Dou was walking in the trade market and looked down at the time.
