The Endless Abyss of Online Games

It turns out that Han Qishao is currently doing the task of the president's order, and he is not in Lingshui City, so Shen Ce made an appointment with him to meet again in three days.And after Shen Ce finished talking with Han Qishao, he rushed to the City Lord's Mansion in Lingshui City. He did not wait for this time to meet the City Lord.

The gorgeously dressed city lord stood on the stone steps. When he learned that Shen Ce and Cyrus had successfully hunted down the red-crested double-headed snake on the snow cliff, the incredible expression on his face was similar to that of the dwarf Hatar who knew Shen Ce. Completing the mission is exactly the same: "What, you said you already got the president's badge?"

Shen Ce gave a salute and nodded slightly, then took out the B-level president's badge from the storage space and showed it to him.The city lord glanced at Shen Ce with a strange expression, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, very good, young man, you are very good, then do you want to establish a B-level trade union now?"

"Ding——Congratulations to players Zero and Cyrus for completing the mission 'Kill the Red-Crowned Double-Headed Snake on the Snow Cliff'."

Shen Ce shook his head. He hesitated for a while after hearing the name of Cyrus in the system prompt, and asked, "My lord, do you know the partner Cyrus who completed the mission with me?"

The middle-aged city lord looked at Shen Ce in surprise: "Aren't you teammates? I thought you were very familiar." He frowned and thought about it for a while: "That young man is very talented and insightful. The last time I chatted with him After a while, I was deeply impressed, and I don’t know anything else.”

Shen Ce heard the expected answer. To be honest, he didn't know why he asked an NPC about the player. He probably subconsciously felt that Cyrus was too mysterious, and even if he wanted to find other players to learn about it, he couldn't do it.

Seeing that he couldn't find out anything from the city lord, Shen Ce went to Juzhen Pavilion.When he took out the pieces of equipment from the red-crowned double-headed snake, Shui Linglong's eyes were so enthusiastic that she was about to burn a few holes in the equipment, and she exclaimed, "Master Ling, you also It’s amazing, it turns out that it’s so easy to kill snakes on the snow cliff. Not to mention the guild leader’s badge, just selling these equipments will definitely make a lot of money.”

Shen Ce glanced over Shui Linglong, and then casually put all the equipment on the table back into the storage space: "I can make a lot of money, but these things don't belong to me."

Shui Linglong had a surprised expression on her face, and soon she seemed to understand: "Could it be that you really found a teammate? Could it be a man? Young Master Han?" She looked like I had guessed it a long time ago. The appearance of the answer nodded again and again: "That's right, no matter how powerful you are alone, you can't single-handedly beat the 30-level red-crowned double-headed snake."

Shen Ce was choked by Shui Linglong's gossip tone, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching: "You think too much," Shen Ce said, pursing his lips, with a stern expression: "Linglong, have you heard of the name Cyrus? ?”

"Sai Luosi, who is that?" Seeing Shen Ce's serious expression, Shui Linglong immediately put away her gossip. She glanced at Shen Ce: "The one named Selous is doing the mission with you? Is he very powerful? "

Shen Ce nodded, then thought for a while and said, "Better than me."

Shui Linglong was drinking tea, and almost spit out when she heard this sentence, it was the first time she heard Shen Ce say that someone is better than him: "It doesn't make sense, there must be very few people who are higher than you, and Basically, I’m familiar with everything, but it’s the first time I’ve heard the name Cyrus. By the way, what’s his occupation?”

"assassin."

Shui Linglong frowned: "The ones I know are warriors and mages, and there are one or two hunters, but there are really no assassins, probably because I am ignorant."

Shen Ce's face showed obvious disappointment, and his lips pursed even deeper: "Then please help me pay attention to this person, and let me know if there is any news."

After Shui Linglong agreed, she stroked the navy blue bracelet on her finger with her hand, her red phoenix eyes were full of charm: "By the way, Master Ling, how did you know this person?" She was very interested in players who could make Shen Ce bow down.

Shen Ce didn't expect Shui Linglong to ask this question, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "When I was looking for weapon materials, he saved my life."

Shui Linglong was shocked when she heard this: "Master Ling, why are you always being rescued by others recently? This is not in line with your painting style." She half-covered her mouth and snickered, "You won't really Did you marry that Cyrus for the mission?"

Shen Ce glanced at her coldly, and Shui Linglong was so cold that she lost the desire to make fun of her: "Yes, I'd better get you some news at ease."

Although Shui Linglong promised to inquire about the news for Shen Ce, it was a pity that she did not find out anything in the end. What made Shen Ce inexplicably worried was that Sailuosi had never appeared since the last time he went offline. The profile picture is always gray, as if the world has evaporated.

Recalling Sailuosi's elusive style, coupled with the hasty walk off the assembly line that day, and his expression was a little dignified, Shen Ce guessed that something happened to him in the real world.He originally planned to hand over all the things that the red-crowned double-headed snake exploded to Cyrus, and then go through divorce procedures with Cyrus, but now the other party can't even see him, so Shen Ce's plan can only be shelved temporarily up.

And three days passed quickly, and Shen Ce arrived at the largest tavern in Lingshui City - Deluo Tavern according to the agreed time.

It is said that Delo's Tavern is a place where dragons and snakes mix, and it is also a big gold-selling cave for players, because Delo's Tavern has the most fascinating wine, one glass makes people drunk, two glasses make people pour, three glasses will make many People have empty wallets.There are even many wealthy people in real life who come here here. They don't play games to experience the fun of upgrading and fighting monsters, but just to taste the wine here.

Shen Ce couldn't understand their approach at all, because to him, no matter how good the wine here was, it was just simulated with a bunch of virtual data.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for Shen Ce to come to the Delo Tavern, but he was not completely unrelated to this place, for example, the gin he used to buy the foundry master Hattar came from here.Shen Ce swiftly pushed open the extravagant crystal curtain door, two waiters in brightly dressed bowed to him, and many people turned their attention to him, but Shen Ce ignored all of these, and he was indifferent to the cold. I walked to the agreed private room, and the tip of my nose passed the strong aroma of wine from time to time.

When Shen Ce found the box, he opened the door and saw the figure of Han Qishao. Han Qishao was sitting lazily on the sand velvet hair, and the baroque style crystal chandelier above his head cast warm light, obliquely reflecting on the On his extremely handsome side cheek.

Han Qishao raised his head and glanced at Shen Ce, with a faint smile on his lips: "Master Ling came on time."

Shen Ce sat opposite Han Qishao, and placed his staff beside the table: "Qi Shao seems to have arrived a little earlier."

"I've just arrived," Han Qishao raised his eyebrows, his eyes clear and open: "Speaking of early, Master Ling burst out the president's badge from the red-crowned double-headed snake so quickly. I can't believe this efficiency. Humbled."

Shen Ce ignored Han Qishao's words, and suddenly asked: "Qi Shao, do you have the president's order?"

Yesterday, two players established C-level guilds successively in "Across the Sky", and there was a lot of commotion in the official forums, and countless players joined these two guilds at once. Since Han Qishao and He made an appointment to meet today, so he should have obtained the president's order.

Han Qishao took a sip of the wine in the goblet, and he stared at Shen Ce: "Indeed, I just handed in the task at the City Lord's Mansion, if you hadn't sent a message a few days ago saying that you have the president's badge in your hand, maybe I'm working on building a union right now."

Shen Ce looked indifferently at Han Qishao's clear eyes, took out a dark gold badge from the storage space and put it on the table, and calmly said an amount: "5000 gold coins."

Han Qishao's face changed slightly, it was not the first time he had experienced Shen Ce's straightforward style, but is this amount too low?

As far as he knows, someone is also selling the President's Order, and the price is almost 5000 gold coins, but the difference between the B-level union and the C-level union is not only a name, but also related to the size of the union's garrison area and the number of NPC garrisons. Wait for the big question.

"How about changing it to [-] gold coins?" Han Qishao looked at the stern-looking white-robed priest in front of him, and suggested with a smile.

Shen Ce was silent for a moment, he picked up the dark gold badge and said slowly: "I only plan to sell it for five thousand gold coins, if Qi Shao doesn't buy it, I believe there will be a suitable buyer."

Han Qishao was stunned, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Why would I not want to buy it?" He stared at Shen Ce steadily while speaking, his light blue eyes were as bright as falling into the sky full of stars : "Master Ling, I've invited you to join our trade union several times, Master Zero, really don't you think about it? After all, you're just a nominal honorary elder, and you don't usually have to appear in the trade union."

But Shen Ce still simply shook his head and refused, and Han Qishao straightened his sleeves to suppress the displeasure in his heart - he rarely invites others, let alone being rejected three times in a row.

Han Qishao stood up suddenly, but the smile on his lips did not change: "In this case, I wonder if Master Ling would like to do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Shen Ce raised his head slightly, his voice calm and indifferent as always.

"Master Ling should know that there will be a city defense battle on the fifth day after the establishment of the trade union?" Han Qishao's lips curled up, as if he was sure that Shen Ce would not refuse: "If Master Ling is willing to come, the reward is five thousand gold coins."
