Star Trace Gate

Fuman Teahouse, second floor.

Ren Ye, Yang Nan and others who were chatting looked towards the door when they heard the shouting.

A sweet and lovely young lady who was watching the New Year looked at Yang Nan and other elderly people and said anxiously, "What are you still standing there for? There's a fight going on in the trade market!"

"Who started the fight?" The yellow-clothed man from Jianghang City frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Guo Yan and his friends went to buy items, and then they were deliberately provoked. Neither side was convinced, so they started a solo fight." The young lady quickly explained, "We don't know where the provocative player came from, but he was very strong. He challenged three of us in a row... He was so arrogant. Now no one is buying anything at the trade market. They are all just watching the fun. A colleague of Jiang Hang asked me to come back and call you."

The yellow-clad old man from Jianghang City stood up and said, "Old Yang, Ren Ye, you guys take a seat. I'll take someone to take a look first."

"Why are you still sitting here? Let's sit together." Yang Nan stood up.

"Yeah, Brother Yao, let's go together." Ren also heard what the girl said, and he also stood up and said, "Let's go see what's going on."

"Okay, let's go together then."

"Brothers downstairs, grab your weapons! Guo Shitou is being bullied!" The girl who came to report the news made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted to the people downstairs.

The New Year's Eve watchers organization was still very united. When they heard about the conflict, they all followed Yang Nan, Ren Ye, and the yellow-clothed New Year's Eve watcher named Brother Yao and rushed to the trade market.

Guo Yan was originally from Jianghang, and was also a member of Brother Yao's team, so the latter seemed very anxious and almost jogged all the way to the scene of the incident.

On the way, Ren Ye asked Yang Nan in confusion while walking: "SOLO is...?"

"It's just what you think. Conflicts in the Stargate world are more direct. There are no rules here, and everyone has supernatural powers. Once a conflict occurs, it's definitely a fight to the death." Yang Nan responded softly, "SOLO means one-on-one duel, which means planting a flag. If both sides are dissatisfied, then they will fight, but generally they won't kill each other. The reason why this form of personal combat power competition exists is actually a concession from both players. Everyone is fighting for face and resources, not lives. Solving problems in a SOLO way can effectively avoid large-scale fights between organizations and teams. After winning or losing, you can leave room for yourself and avoid a fight to the death."

"understood."

Ren nodded slowly: "Still want to do it, but not to the point of risking your life?"

"Yes, that's what I meant." Yang Nan nodded. "In fact, after coming here today, I saw the scale of this star gate and I had a hunch... there will definitely be an opening battle. There are too many people, all kinds of people, and it is impossible for everyone to coexist peacefully. To put it bluntly, the competition for this star gate has actually started from this moment."

"That makes sense." Ren also agreed.

While chatting, the two rushed to the trade market with a group of people who were staying up to see the New Year.

……

Next to the trade market, on the top floor of the Rum Hotel.

At a large table large enough to seat twenty people, four maids dressed in silk and satin were serving a young man dressed like an ancient wealthy businessman.

The young man was about twenty years old and extremely obese, weighing at least two hundred pounds.

He wore a golden crown and jade hairpin on his head, a dark green ring on his right thumb, and a smooth satin black robe with gold thread on the corners. He had fair skin, a square face, and looked very wealthy.

The young man's real name is Sang Pu, and he also entered this star gate today. However, after he came here, he gave himself a classical and Chinese name, Wei Tianbao.

Wei Tianbao was the only one sitting at the big table, with four maids standing by him, two by two. One was picking up dishes, one was turning the table, one was pouring wine, and one was wiping Wei Tianbao's sweat with a handkerchief.

The huge table was filled with all the delicacies on the menu of the Rum Hotel. They were colorful and fragrant, but they were only for Wei Tianbao to enjoy.

On both sides of the box door stood eight people in black robes. Their faces were unclear, and it was hard to tell whether they were men or women. They were very quiet, standing there motionless.

Wei Tianbao seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life. When he was enjoying these delicacies, the only thing he needed to do was to open his mouth. If he wanted to eat something, he only needed to glance over and the maid would understand.

This kind of pomp is still quite rare in modern society. The poor can't afford it, and the rich don't dare to do it.

At least I don’t dare do it in public anymore.

During the meal, a man walked in from outside. He was also wearing a black robe, but his face was not hidden. He looked to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with a thin build.

The man stepped forward and stood five steps away from Wei Tianbao. After bowing, he said, "Master Wei, according to your instructions, four teams have been dispatched, and four teams are left. There is no star source consumption at the moment, and we have not yet decided which small secret place we will go to. I plan to communicate with some supernatural powers in private after entering...!"

A young man in his twenties was not at all uncomfortable being addressed as "Master". He just sat there and nodded slightly as a response.

"There is another thing." The thin man paused and said, "There was a conflict on the long street. I made some inquiries and found out that a local government organization called Shousui Ren had a conflict with a supernatural being. There are many people watching the excitement now."

When Wei Tianbao heard this, his lazy eyes instantly became focused. He slowly turned around and asked the thin man, "Decai, tell me more."

Decai immediately clasped his fists and said, "It all started because the supernatural being provoked the old man, and the two sides had a duel. The supernatural being defeated three people in a row, and he had quite some tricks."

"Yo!"

Wei Tianbao became interested: "This way it will have some meaning of a hundred boats competing for the current, otherwise it will be a stagnant pool of water, which is very boring. I won't eat anymore, I won't eat anymore, let's go and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the door excitedly with a big belly: "Wait a minute, the food here is delicious... but eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable. I need to go to the bathroom."

Next to it was the bathroom. Wei Tianbao knew that was where people pee and poop, but he didn't go in. Instead, he waved his hand and urged, "Hurry up and set up."

He will not use things that have been used by others.

After saying this, the maids displayed their magical powers towards the ground, and called out a bronze toilet, a small table, odor-removing sandalwood, and so on from within their consciousness space.

The four maids worked in perfect harmony, two of them set up the place, while two of them surrounded the toilet with a yellow curtain.

After everything was ready, Wei Tianbao's pants were taken off by the maid and he sat on the tall toilet.

Outside, eight men in black robes turned around, listening to the sound and smelling the smell, but did not dare to disturb.

Two maids were pulling the yellow curtain outside; two maids were inside the "toilet", one stretched out her hands and gently stroked Wei Tianbao's back to help him; another squatted in front of Wei Tianbao, smiling brightly, and cheered him on and wiped his sweat: "Master, don't be in a hurry, go slowly, there is a lot of feces, we don't need to rush..."

After a while, after Wei Ye defecated in public and washed his buttocks, he went to the conflict site on Changjie with his entourage.

……

On the long cross street in the center of the trade market.

At this moment, there are at least three to four thousand players gathered here, watching the fun.
