Chu Tian adjusted his expression, preparing to walk into the shop.
He wanted to see how condescending the service staff were.
[Ding... Your friend "Shang Da Hao Mei Dai Zhi" is sending a video call request.]
"Hmm?" Chu Tian saw it was Mo Shi, so he accepted the video call.
"Phew... Boss, you are indeed in this shop!"
As soon as the video connected, Mo Shi could clearly see the scenery behind Tian.
"What do you mean?"
Chu Tian frowned and asked. He remembered that as the owner of the shop, when he entered his own shop,
Mo Shi would receive a system notification.
"Don't worry about this shop, Boss. I'm fishing!"
Mo Shi said with a grin.
Chu Tian was stunned. Clearly, the other party knew there was a problem here.
"Fishing?"
"Heh heh, yes! Those guys from Hao Tian Merchant Guild want to plot against us. I'm pretending not to know and playing along to catch them all.
However, I still don't know how many of our people have been bought by Hao Tian!"
Mo Shi chuckled sinisterly. Seeing his expression, Chu Tian knew that this guy must have a lot of information.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be smiling like this.
If he couldn't handle it, he would definitely come to him for help with a bitter face.
It seemed that this guy had also grown during this period.
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Chu Tian smiled.
While talking to Mo Shi, he had already exited the "Anything Goes" Tailor Shop.
He looked towards the shops adjacent to the "Anything Goes" ... four chain stores.
These were the Hao Tian Shops mentioned by Mo Shi, also four different stores.
This Hao Tian Merchant Guild, the guys who tried to trick him out of the blueprints in his past life.
They were also the first merchant guild in Chu Tian's memory from his previous life.
However, they were a typical example of a large shop bullying customers, and they had done a lot of shady business.
In this life, his "Anything Goes" chain stores had risen, relying on his foresight.
They had suppressed the Hao Tian Merchant Guild, but only just.
It had to be said that the Hao Tian Merchant Guild had immense financial backing.
Since Mo Shi had his own plan, let him play.
When he founded the "Anything Goes" shops, it was to make money.
Now that he was no longer short of money, he would leave it to that kid to play and grow.
He couldn't let them... rely on him for everything.
At some point, Chu Tian had a feeling that he would eventually have to leave them.
And this feeling grew stronger with time.
Whenever this feeling came, he felt like a fish drowning... incredibly uncomfortable.
[Ding... Your friend "Jian Zhi Cang Tian" is sending a video call request.]
Just as he hung up Mo Shi's video, Zhao Lei's video call came through.
Without thinking, he casually accepted it.
"Tian Ge, I found a place, it's a big deal. How about we go for it?"
When the video connected, Zhao Lei said excitedly.
"What place?"
"I don't know. It's a triggered fortuitous encounter mission. It can be completed solo or as a duo. The mission rewards are unknown, but the rewards for completing it as a duo will be doubled.
The rewards should be good. I triggered it when I was completing my job change mission on Maze Island."
Zhao Lei said excitedly, and Chu Tian frowned.
He originally wanted to ask him the name of the mission, but since he said he got it while completing the Wine Monk mission on Maze Island, he gave up.
Maze Island was the birthplace of the Monk profession.
The starting location of this profession was different from ordinary professions.
This profession did not exist in his previous life, so he naturally wouldn't know the follow-up to this fortuitous encounter mission that Zhao Lei mentioned.
"Okay, where do we meet?"
Chu Tian considered. After four days, the Fortress War was basically calm.
He also knew that all the guild leaders in the world must have united by now.
After the incident in Liaoning Province, they would definitely elect a guild to occupy the four high-level fortresses and see if they could activate the spiritual energy system in their region.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. The first of the four high-level fortresses he occupied was one shared by the Sijicheng and Shengjing regions.
Therefore, if Huang Xueyi wanted to activate the spiritual energy system of Sijicheng,
He would have to defeat Chu Tian's fortress.
If he gave up on Sijicheng and moved to Heitu City,
The northernmost fortress in Heitu City was still in Qingcheng's hands.
Attacking a fortress occupied by players was not as simple as attacking one held by the system.
Moreover, Qingcheng still had his covert support.
But even without his support, Qingcheng's influence could not be underestimated.
All the small and large guilds that were once abandoned by the Huang Corporation had now defected to Qingcheng.
Zhao Lei was very excited when he heard Chu Tian agree.
"Where are you? I'll come find you to activate the teleportation. This mission gave a dual-person teleportation stone."
Chu Tian sent his location to Zhao Lei.
This guy teleported over directly. After the two replenished some supplies, Zhao Lei activated the teleportation stone.
As the teleportation light flashed, Chu Tian's vision went dark.
He thought the teleportation hadn't ended yet.
After a full three seconds, Chu Tian realized something was wrong. His skills were still lit up.
His heart skipped a beat, knowing that all skills would turn gray and become unusable during teleportation.
Seeing this, he immediately activated his Cheetah Form.
His field of vision shifted, turning a hazy gray.
At the same time, he saw Zhao Lei looking around cluelessly beside him.
He even stuck out his finger and waved it in front of his eyes, clearly unable to see anything.
"Damn it, didn't you say we were going to Maze Island? Why did we teleport to the Slaughterer faction's side?
Don't t-"
Frightened, he twisted and dodged, quickly warning the other party.
He almost lost his dignity.
"I didn't say we were going to Maze Island. I don't know why we came here, but the mission has a prompt."
After Chu Tian's reminder, Zhao Lei put on some equipment that increased his dark vision.
His vision was finally no longer pitch black.
This was also thanks to Chu Tian bringing back so much equipment that increased dark vision last time.
All of them had chosen some that they could carry.
If other Survivor faction players came, they would definitely become blind.
This was because equipment that increased dark vision was a special product of the Slaughterer faction.
In the Survivor faction, it was extremely rare.
However, equipment found here that did not require a faction to be worn was also extremely rare.
Otherwise, how could Chu Tian's thousands of pieces of equipment from last time still not be enough for everyone to wear a set?
"Where do we go now?"
Chu Tian was also speechless. He didn't expect Zhao Lei's mission to be about causing trouble in the Slaughterer faction.
"This way!"
Zhao Lei confirmed a direction and pulled Chu Tian towards a distant, gloomy valley.
Before long, upon entering the valley, Chu Tian was stunned.
"This is the mission you were talking about?"
