Chapter 157 Ships

By the water's edge of Linshui City, the eternal brothers in the flowers were treading the waves, searching through the piles of grass. As full-fledged lurkers, their movement speed was extremely fast, and finding something as large as a boat was easy, so their search efficiency was also very high. More than thirty people were moving clockwise around the Linshui City waterfront. Before long, the first good news came: "Coordinates xxx, xxx. Found a boat."

"Just one?" Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi replied, "Search carefully."

"Nonsense, such a big thing, would I not see two?" Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi, as a leader, did not earn respect from his subordinates.

"Stay put," Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi said.

On the way, several people specifically inquired about the situation of private boats in Linshui City. They confirmed that most of the boats here were of the same model. It wasn't that players didn't like to pursue individuality, but ordinary people simply couldn't make boats. All these boats were made by a boat company in the city.

This boat company was actually a mercenary group. The boat company was their name, and it was said to have been established by a group of players with knowledge in this area. These guys noticed this business opportunity almost as soon as they were born in Linshui City and established the boat company. As the game developed, their lineup also continued to expand. Everyone didn't know much about the players' game level in the group. In short, the people in the boat company were relatively wealthy, after all, they were a monopoly organization in Linshui City.

And this kind of small boat that can carry five people, according to the boat company, is the limit of what can be made with the tool materials found in the game. Therefore, the private boats owned by players can only be smaller than this, and can never be larger.

From this, it can be seen that if Jian Nan You and the others wanted to take a self-driving tour and leave Linshui City, one boat would definitely not be enough, they would need two. That's why Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi asked if there was only one.

But even though he knew that Jian Nan You and the others had to use two boats to leave together, he couldn't be sure that they would park the boats together, so he could only leave people at the places where the boats were found.

As a result, as the second, third, and fourth pieces of good news came one after another, Gu Fei and the others found that their manpower might really not be enough.

Currently, each main city in the game has hundreds of thousands of people, and Linshui City is naturally no exception. And the private boat has become a symbol of status in Linshui City. Some experts, show-offs, or rich people like to own one to show off. Legend has it that driving your own small boat with a beautiful woman on the water is the highest pursuit of picking up girls in Linshui City. This is the same as driving a private sports car to chase beautiful women in reality. If the boat is rented or borrowed, or simply a system ferry with the nature of a public bus, then the grade will be greatly reduced.

All of this led to the fact that although there were not many players with private boats in Linshui City, there were definitely not a few. After Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi's thirty-odd subordinates were sent out, they were quickly wiped out. At this time, each person found a boat and stayed put according to Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi's instructions, but there was still a large area along the water that had not been explored.

"What should we do?" Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi frowned, looking at Gu Fei and Mang Mang De Mang Mang, the two action planners.

Gu Fei thought for a while and said, "Let the brothers take a closer look at the boats they found. Maybe some people will put a mark or label on their boats. If they find that it's obviously not Jian Nan You and the others, don't stay put."

"What are the names of Jian Nan You's gang?" Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi asked.

This question stumped Gu Fei. He only knew Jian Nan You, so he quickly went to Brother You to inquire. Brother You was worthy of being an expert in intelligence gathering. After suspecting that the other members of Jian Nan You's seven-member group were the characters who had disappeared from the top ten in the recent list update, he immediately went to check the members of the former top ten one by one, and hit them all very powerfully.

Members of Jian Nan You's seven-member group.

Warrior Jian Nan You, Thief Hei Shui, Mage Huo Ran Yi, Archer Jiao Shui, Priest Dao Xiang Mu, Knight Invincible Lucky Star, and another Priest whose identity is currently unknown because he is not a member of the top ten.

Gu Fei told Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi the results, and also regretted: "There is still one person I don't know... Alas, there's no way, let's ask the brothers to look for it like this first!"

After Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi gave the order, the thirty-odd people became busy again. After a careful investigation, they found that some players really had their names engraved on the boats. The boats that didn't have the names of the six people were immediately ignored. It's just a pity that only half of the players used such a simple method of engraving their names. The other half also made marks, but used drawing as a way of expression. Each one was like a ghost drawing symbols, making it impossible to judge, so it was naturally不好 (bù hǎo - not good) to give up staying put.

However, they could finally free up manpower to continue working. The remaining people were also arranged to move around as much as possible, and the previously found boats only needed to be kept within sight.

"Let's hurry up too!" Mang Mang De Mang Mang said, "A few more people will also share the burden."

"Brother Zui, you can't abandon me!" Huo Qiu cried. On the way, someone actually received his mission to hunt him down. Fortunately, Gu Fei took action to send them away. After three or two exchanges, the other party felt that they were obviously no match and slipped away. If Gu Fei wasn't there, Huo Qiu would already be in the Linshui Water Prison at this time.

"Well, you can just stay with me!" Gu Fei said.

While speaking, the four people finally arrived at the city gate, but there were no powerful guards from various guilds here, which surprised them.

"It seems that Jian Nan You has already rushed out of the city!"

"We must hurry!" Gu Fei said.

When Huo Qiu saw this situation, he felt that if he continued to drag his feet and slow down Gu Fei's actions, he would be a bit annoying, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zui, you go quickly, I can handle it myself."

"Okay, be careful yourself first. I think it's better for you to go to the beach near the pier and have a drink. If you're there, the people who receive the mission won't dare to touch you." Gu Fei patted him, then nodded to Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi and Mang Mang De Mang Mang, and ran out of the city gate as quickly as possible.

"Brother Zui, you are such a down-to-earth person, why don't you be polite to me?" Huo Qiu was in tears, secretly vowing that he would never play with top-quality equipment again.

"Well then, Huo Qiu, you go have a drink, we'll also hurry up and go." The remaining two also greeted Huo Qiu. At the critical moment, Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi also had a bit of a general's demeanor, not sticking to the girl, and also searched in the other direction at his fastest speed. Mang Mang De Mang Mang randomly chose a side and walked slowly.

Gu Fei was speeding along the beach outside the city, and when he saw that the surroundings were calm, he felt a little strange.

Since Jian Nan You had already left the city, then those guilds should also have guessed his intentions, and would have thought of stationing troops on the beach. Even if they couldn't fully deploy in a short time, they should still see some people scattered around, right? For example, the guards at the city gate, they came out of the city gate, how could they disappear so quickly? Gu Fei looked around, but apart from Yīngzhōng Yuè Zǎi and Mang Mang De Mang Mang, who had just come out with him, there was no one else at all.

Gu Fei, of course, didn't know that the scene that had happened at the west city gate had already changed the格局 (géjú - overall situation).

After several minutes of fierce and chaotic fighting, someone finally took advantage of the opportunity when he fell down and snatched the staff firmly into his hand. Although he was quickly killed amidst the exclamations of the crowd, he was very gratified that he had finally snatched this top-quality item.

This person was a warrior. When he resurrected in the warrior camp, he was still holding the staff in his hand. After he couldn't wait to appreciate the attributes of the staff, he was completely木 (mù - stunned).

At this time, his guild leader had already received the good news that he had snatched the staff, and immediately sent a congratulatory message. But he received the warrior's bitter reply: "Guild leader, we've been fooled!!!" At the same time, he sent the staff's attributes to the guild leader for a look.

It was an extremely ordinary staff, making it easy for people to understand what kind of trick they had been fooled by. The guild leader immediately ordered the other members of the guild: "Chase after them outside the city immediately!!"

Then, when he was about to tell the other guild leaders about this situation, he suddenly stopped just before sending the message.

"Why should I tell the others?" He suddenly asked himself such a question.

The others don't know that the staff is fake. Seeing that it was snatched away by our people, they will definitely not be willing to give up. So at this time, they will definitely gather at the warrior camp, and their attention has been successfully diverted. Then now, aren't we the only ones who know the true whereabouts of the staff?

What a close call, I almost did something stupid. The guild leader quickly deleted the message he had just written and instead sent it to the warrior who had sacrificed for picking up the staff: "You've worked hard, go offline and rest for a while!"

"Ah? Why?" The warrior was puzzled.

The guild leader didn't hide anything and simply explained his thoughts. The warrior really didn't care about his personal gains for the sake of the guild, and happily nodded before going offline.

Everything was as the guild leader expected. Although the people from the other guilds didn't snatch the staff, they clearly saw who the staff had fallen into. At this time, after reporting it, the guilds had already begun to move towards the warrior camp, preparing to tear off their masks with actions.

As a result, before they could make any major moves, the comrades stationed at the warrior camp had already sent a message: "That warrior went offline immediately after resurrecting for a short time!"

"Damn it, they're fast enough!" All the guild leaders had a ball of anger in their hearts. No matter how great an individual is, and no matter how powerful a guild is, they can only painfully scratch the wall when faced with going offline.

"Damn it, guard the warrior camp for twenty-four hours, don't let go of anyone who has had contact with that guy!!!" Some guild leaders had already issued such orders in a frenzy.

As the first person in charge of this event, Dan Qing Xia Ying also seemed to be frequently annoyed at this time, exchanging information with the major guild leaders one by one, venting the displeasure in his heart.

"It's rare that everyone is free, let's all come to my beach tavern for a drink, it's on me." Dan Qing Xia Ying sent an invitation.

Some guild leaders who liked to drink to vent their frustrations immediately agreed, while others felt that Dan Qing Xia Ying's invitation seemed to have other hidden meanings. In the end, no one refused.

"Okay, I'll wait for everyone at the tavern, be there or be square." After sending this message, Dan Qing Xia Ying began to walk towards his own beach tavern, with a smile constantly hanging on the corner of his mouth, not at all like the furious look he had in the message.
