Chapter 272 Eavesdropping

"Walls have ears. Should we move somewhere else?" Yu-ge suggested cautiously, seeing that the candidates were becoming clearer.

These people had no shortage of places. They went to a house in a nearby city district. Once the door was closed, no one outside could hear anything.

"We were just talking about Gui Tong. Don't you think Gui Tong is too famous? How do we know if the Eagle Platoon people know her? And is Gui Tong reliable? We don't seem to know her very well, do we?" It was Yu-ge who interrupted the topic and suggested moving, and it was Yu-ge who immediately continued the discussion upon returning to the stronghold.

"Know her well?" Han Jia Gongzi asked Gu Fei.

"Why are you asking me?" Gu Fei asked, surprised.

"You're wearing her ring," Han Jia Gongzi said.

The first thing Gu Fei did before the previous battle was borrow the Mana Ring from Gui Tong. He was still wearing it on his finger and hadn't returned it yet. When this was mentioned, everyone looked at Gu Fei's hand, nodding in agreement. Being able to borrow equipment in an online game was proof of an extremely close relationship.

"We don't rely on relationships to borrow things, we rely on credit, understand?" Gu Fei said, patting his chest.

"Just tell us if Gui Tong is suitable or not," Han Jia Gongzi said, not wanting to waste time arguing with him.

"Wouldn't we know if she's suitable by asking?" Gu Fei was about to send a message, but Han Jia Gongzi coldly interjected, "You better be able to confirm it yourself. Asking around everywhere, are you afraid the news won't reach Yingqi Studio's ears?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Fei asked, puzzled.

"If you really don't know Gui Tong's background and relationships, then forget it. What if she's friends with the Eagle Platoon too?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Gu Fei paused again. The possibility that Gui Tong knew the Eagle Platoon suddenly seemed significant. He remembered Gui Tong's past: this woman had once hired Jian Nan You and the others to try and steal his Dark Night Flowing Light Sword. Her behavior might be related to the Eagle Platoon, who also had a mercenary nature.

"Isn't the Eagle Platoon mainly active in the southeast? How would they be connected to people here?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"It's best to be careful. The person must be absolutely reliable. We can't be careless about this," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Gu Fei had no choice but to shake his head. "Besides this Mana Ring, I don't know anything else about her."

"Eliminated," Han Jia Gongzi decisively removed that candidate.

"Then who else is there?" Everyone racked their brains.

"Lao Yun, do you have any female mage players on your side?" Han Jia Gongzi asked Yun Zhong Mu. He didn't need to consider Very Heaven, as they didn't have a single woman. More than a hundred people had come over with Yun Zhong Mu, and there were some female players among them.

Yun Zhong Mu looked troubled. "The girls we know are definitely not going to hold anyone back in a fight, but pretending to be a reporter requires someone who is educated. It's not suitable, is it?"

Everyone who heard this sighed. It was true that the environment shaped the people. The female players in Moon Night City had all become fierce bandits.

"No one suitable?" Han Jia Gongzi's gaze swept around.

"The requirements are a bit strict," everyone said with difficulty. There were already few female players in the game. Now, they needed someone absolutely reliable, limited to the mage class, and also a good actor. The difficulty was like finding a needle in a haystack without the needle.

"Why don't we just ask Duo Mu Mu Duo for help? She can just play herself. What's the point of deceiving anyone?" Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly had a clever idea and said excitedly. He thought his idea was brilliant.

"Are you crazy? Would Duo Mu Mu Duo be stupid enough to ruin her own reputation?" Han Jia Gongzi scolded.

"Wait, wait," Gu Fei suddenly seemed to have an idea.

Everyone looked over. Gu Fei glanced around. "Are Duo Mu Mu Duo the only two reporters in the online gaming world?"

Everyone was stunned and instantly understood Gu Fei's idea. Yu-ge slapped his thigh. "That's right, why bother hanging ourselves on one tree? There aren't only two online reporters." As he spoke, Yu-ge began to flip through his intelligence collection. Everyone paid him high respect. "Yu-ge, you even record this in the game?"

"No big deal," Yu-ge casually replied, immersed in the joy of searching, a look of happiness on his face. Piao Liu watched from the side, filled with emotions. If he also knew how to enjoy this, he wouldn't have wanted to die in the data room.

"Duo Mu Mu Duo is a full-time reporter for Play Game Online. General professional gaming websites will have full-time online reporters, such as 52 Game Online, Happy Game Mood, Yue You Yue Kai Xin… these websites will definitely have them," Yu-ge said while searching.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb him, reverently watching Yu-ge.

"Haha!" Yu-ge flipped to the relevant page and immediately found it. "52 Game Online's Shou Wang Dao Tian, she's also a famous reporter, everyone must know her, right? Of course, her fame is a bit less than Duo Mu Mu Duo."

Everyone nodded except for Gu Fei.

"There's also Happy Game Mood's Chi Xiang He La, Yue You Yue Kai Xin's Gei Ni Yi Bi Tou, these are all representatives of their respective websites, and there are others like Gong Bao Ji Ding, Mu Tong Bo, Zuo Tian Yi Jiu… What do you think?" Yu-ge looked at everyone.

"Tell us about each person's situation. Are they all combinations like Duo Mu Mu Duo?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"No, these are all individuals."

"Gender, class, and preferably level as well," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Shou Wang Dao Tian, male, archer; Chi Xiang He La, female, archer; Gei Ni Yi Bi Tou, male, thief; Gong Bao Ji Ding, female, thief; Mu Tong Bo, male, archer; Zuo Tian Yi Jiu, female, thief," Yu-ge said in one breath, then explained, "This information is relatively old, the levels are old."

"Why are the classes either archers or thieves?" Yu Tian Shen Ming noticed the pattern.

"Maybe it's easier to travel?" Yu-ge guessed.

"Thieves can also stealth…" Zhan Wu Shang said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Paparazzi!

"Then why isn't Mu Duo?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked, but Han Jia Gongzi pushed him aside and looked at Gu Fei. "Can Xi Xiao Tian come?"

"She… do you think she's an absolutely reliable person?" Gu Fei said.

"You have prejudice against her too?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Nonsense, she's a con artist," Gu Fei said.

"That's exactly what we want," Han Jia Gongzi nodded.

"But there's no guarantee who she'll con," Gu Fei said.

"It's hard to say whether an ordinary person can deceive anyone, but this one at least has the technical guarantee," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"She's online, should I call her?" Gu Fei asked.

"I already called her," Yu Tian Shen Ming said eagerly. Gu Fei could only feel helpless.

"If it's a female archer, then it's Chi Xiang He La. I'll go get more information about this person," Yu-ge said.

"Go," Han Jia Gongzi nodded. He contacted Yun Teng Studio, hoping to know some information about the studio circle, such as whether this circle had any contact with online game reporters, and whether they had any regular customers. If Chi Xiang He La had any relationship with Yingqi Studio, it would be directly exposed.

This wasn't much of a secret. Yun Teng had a dozen former Yingqi directors, and Wu Ye, one of Yun Teng's three bosses, was even more directly involved. Han Jia Gongzi easily obtained the information he wanted: the people at Yingqi definitely wouldn't know Chi Xiang He La.

At this point, Han Jia Gongzi remembered something else and quickly sent a message to Yu-ge, who was still rushing to the downlink area: "If possible, confirm whether Chi Xiang He La knows anyone from the Eagle Platoon."

"Okay, I'll try my best," Yu-ge said. While his PK skills were lacking, he had his own energy in these areas.

However, Yu-ge's work would still take some time. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Yu Tian Shen Ming happily ran to open it. Accompanied by a "Xiao Tian Jie (Sister Xiao Tian)" that made everyone's goosebumps stand on end, Xi Xiao Tian was led in.

"It's quite lively!" Everyone in the room had dealt with each other to some extent. Xi Xiao Tian casually greeted everyone and headed toward Gu Fei, Jian Gui, and Han Jia Gongzi. She knew where Very Heaven's power center was.

"What's the matter? Speak!" This wasn't a tavern, and there were limited benches. There were only three in the room. Those who grabbed them first got them, and those who didn't had to stand. Most people were reserved, unlike Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang, who shamelessly fought for seats. They each took one. After exchanging pleasantries, Han Jia Gongzi sat down without any politeness. Yu Tian Shen Ming went to open the door, leaving a seat vacant. The others remained polite and didn't sit. When Xi Xiao Tian came in, Yu Tian Shen Ming eagerly invited her to sit in his vacant seat. Zhan Wu Shang followed suit and tried to grab the seat, both grabbing the seat and offering the seat. Xi Xiao Tian asked, "What's the matter?" As a result, the two of them started making a fuss, and the conversation couldn't continue for a long time. The scene continued until Gu Fei drew his sword. The two of them instantly quieted down, obediently standing still. One was old and the other was young, making people not know whether to be angry or amused.

Han Jia Gongzi was the only one sitting in the entire room. He didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. Without waiting for Xi Xiao Tian to ask again, he explained their plan.

"Oh? This plan is very good. Did you think of it?" Xi Xiao Tian asked.

"Piao Liu's idea," Han Jia Gongzi said, not taking credit.

"Where's the scroll? Let me see it," Xi Xiao Tian said.

Piao Liu handed it over. Xi Xiao Tian opened it and looked at the instructions, finally asking, "Are you sure it can be used in a private space?"

"I only have one, so I haven't tested it," Piao Liu said with a wry smile. "But I think the principle of this thing is the same as a teleportation scroll. As long as you have permission for the house, you can use a teleportation scroll, there's no doubt about that."

Xi Xiao Tian nodded and asked, "Who am I supposed to impersonate?"

"Happy Game Mood's Chi Xiang He La, do you know her?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"I know, a famous reporter. Are you sure no one knows her?" Xi Xiao Tian asked.

"Half confirmed, the other half is still in progress," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"How do I get in contact with her?"

"Through a main city supervisor under Yingqi Studio," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"One of our own?"

"No, we can only contact the Yingqi boss layer by layer through him. How you act as a reporter to win such an opportunity is up to you," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Oh…" Xi Xiao Tian responded, then said, "Then I need to do some homework."

"Oh?"

"I need to study the cases of studios being interviewed and reported," Xi Xiao Tian said.

"Professional."

"I'll contact you later," Xi Xiao Tian said and left.
