Privately, if he went, he would definitely be laughed at and despised. Publicly, if he was already being laughed at and despised, what could he possibly negotiate? So privately, Yongyuan didn't want to go, and publicly, he couldn't go. Facing his boss's earnest hope, Yongyuan said no with great reluctance.
"What is it?" Gai Shiqiying asked in surprise. In his mind, Yongyuan was a good comrade. For tasks assigned by the boss, he would take them on whether there were difficulties or not, and would always try his best. Whether he could succeed or not was another matter, but he had never refused any task. Of course, Gai Shiqiying wouldn't make disgusting requests like "plucking the moon." The things he assigned to Yongyuan were always within his capabilities. For example, this negotiation. Gai Shiqiying ultimately felt that it was beneath him to negotiate and compromise with a bunch of hooligans, so he wanted his hired thugs to replace him. Who would have thought that Yongyuan would unprecedentedly say no? This made Gai Shiqiying extremely puzzled.
"You probably forgot, I told you that I know them. But the experience of knowing them wasn't pleasant. We have a past grudge. If I go, even if there's something to talk about, it'll turn into nothing," Yongyuan explained to his boss.
Gai Shiqiying was forgetful, but he vaguely remembered Yongyuan mentioning some old acquaintance with the people over there. He didn't know if the reason was true or false, but since Yongyuan had already said so, he had no choice but to nod: "Then who do you think is suitable to go?"
Yongyuan understood Gai Shiqiying's thoughts. He obviously wasn't planning to go. The remaining two, who could be considered brains, were Wu Ye and him, Yongyuan. But both of them had either a new or old hatred with the other side. Going would definitely be like a meat bun thrown to a dog. Yongyuan thought for a moment and said, "Let Ying Yang go!"
"Him... then let him go!" Although Gai Shiqiying didn't recognize all the members of the Eagle Squad, he still recognized Ying Yang. After all, he was the leader of Group Two. When Group Two was on duty, Gai Shiqiying would naturally contact Ying Yang if he needed anyone.
"Then I'll go call him," Yongyuan said, as Group Two was currently on break.
"Go, go, let him hurry," Gai Shiqiying urged, as these days had made him somewhat anxious and irritable.
Yongyuan logged off, and soon entered the game with Ying Yang. He obviously already knew what he needed to do. As soon as he logged on, he sent a message to Gai Shiqiying, asking if there was anything to pay attention to.
"Analyze the advantages and disadvantages. Continuing to drag on like this won't benefit anyone," Gai Shiqiying said.
"If they have any requests?" Ying Yang asked.
"I'll be here the whole time. You tell me the situation from time to time, and I'll give you the answer to any requests," Gai Shiqiying said.
Ying Yang understood that he was going to negotiate in name only, but he was actually being remotely controlled by the boss. But this made the pressure a little easier. So he didn't ask any more questions, found a Cloud City scroll, and flew over first. He couldn't contact them through the friend system, so he had to write an email. But now he couldn't figure out who the specific person in charge over there was. Feichang Nitian, the guild leader of this guild was Jian Gui, but he heard that he was in jail. Yun Zhongmu, well, he had already left the Ten Guild Alliance and joined this group of people. It was impossible for him to be the boss again. So who should he send the letter to?
Ying Yang thought for a moment and simply wrote a bunch. He sent a copy to everyone whose name he knew, one after another. All the well-known experts in the elite group over there, his old acquaintance Piaoliu, Yun Zhongmu, and so on, didn't miss out.
After sending the letters, Ying Yang began to stroll around Cloud City. He hadn't been to this main city before, but the forums called Cloud City a place where miracles happened. Although the series of series were almost all produced by the same group of people, such a pile of well-known experts were all distributed to this main city when the main city was randomly generated. This coincidence was already the biggest miracle.
"Is it really that miraculous!" Ying Yang muttered to himself as he wandered around, waiting for the system prompt that his mailbox had a reply.
On the Feichang Nitian side, a group of people continued to discuss the topic of Duo Mu Mu Duo. Yutian Shenming and Zhan Wushang came up with a few brainless bad ideas, and after being repeatedly despised by everyone, they finally shut up. You Ge, who liked to observe, noticed that Piaoliu had been silent and acting strangely throughout the process. He quietly approached Piaoliu, patted him, and said, "Actually, you already had an idea, didn't you?"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Piaoliu.
"Let's listen to everyone's opinions first," Piaoliu said calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you have an idea, why didn't you say it earlier!" Yutian Shenming had come up with two ideas earlier, and they had been despised to the point of scum. Now he was full of fire, just waiting for a target for him to despise. If it was Piaoliu, then it would be a legendary two birds with one stone.
"Duo Mu Mu Duo's reputation in the online game circle is very big," Piaoliu said.
"Nonsense!" Yutian Shenming had already begun.
"But not many people have actually seen them."
"Bullshit, everyone in this room has seen them," Yutian Shenming continued.
"Whose child is this? Is anyone taking care of him?" Piaoliu asked around.
Yutian Shenming was about to jump up, but a bunch of people had already taken him down hand and foot, almost tying him to a stool.
Han Jia Gongzi, of course, disdained such rough work. At this time, he looked at Piaoliu: "You mean, find two people to pretend to be Duo Mu Mu Duo and take the opportunity to approach them?"
Piaoliu nodded: "If it's Duo Mu Mu Duo, it's not impossible to know where their new warehouse is located."
"That's not necessarily true," Han Jia Gongzi said.
Piaoliu smiled: "It's possible not to know the location, but it's very possible to get in. Actually, I think Ying Qi might really do this."
People who were a little slow to react didn't understand what he meant for a while, but Han Jia Gongzi quickly understood. If you don't know the location, but can enter, you can use a teleportation scroll. In the room, it will be displayed as a Class II coordinate, and you can't tell which location in the main city it is. If Ying Qi let Duo Mu Mu Duo visit the warehouse, but didn't want to expose the location of the warehouse, it would be very simple.
"What if you can get into the warehouse?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.
"I happen to have something like this," Piaoliu took out a scroll and showed it to everyone. Everyone took a look. Spell scroll: Gate of Teleportation. Opens a direct passage to another space, lasting for one minute.
"The use of this scroll has two steps. The first step is to set the coordinates of the entrance on the scroll. The second step is to use the scroll at the exit, and the Gate of Teleportation will appear," Piaoliu said.
"This way, you can enter a room without permission?" someone asked.
"You can form a team in advance..." Han Jia Gongzi already understood what Piaoliu meant. To enter a room, you need the owner of the house to give you permission, but for a team of people, if the permission is given to the captain, it will be considered as given to the entire team by default. This is also a convenience set up by the game to simplify operations.
"Then what's the use? People can kick everyone out instantly if they find something wrong," someone still asked.
"Enter the room and then disband the team," Han Jia Gongzi said.
Everyone immediately understood. The team is disbanded, but the team members have all been given permission. At this time, if you want to kick them out of the room, it is impossible to do it all at once. The owner of the house has to do it one by one.
"With this time, what do you think is good to do?" Han Jia Gongzi looked at Piaoliu.
Piaoliu coughed: "That's Ying Qi's warehouse, but it uses ordinary rooms, and the things piled inside will not have any system protection..."
Everyone looked at each other. After a long while, You Ge spoke up: "This, isn't that good?"
Killing people and looting equipment is something that online game players are very used to. There is generally no shame in picking up other people's dropped equipment. But at this time, the scene described by Piaoliu was like entering a house to rob. This was unprecedented in the history of online games. In Parallel World, this brand new game mode, under some rules, it had become possible. For a while, everyone had psychological obstacles, but there were also guys who were eager to try. After all, the temptation was really great. The goods hoarded by Ying Qi Studio! How many top-quality equipment would there be inside?
"You're shady enough," Han Jia Gongzi commented on Piaoliu.
"Ahem, that's the idea. Let's see if we do it!" Piaoliu said.
Everyone was silent. Even if they wanted to do it, they didn't dare to take the lead at this time. Even Piaoliu, the guy who came up with the idea, was now trying to clear his name, only talking about the feasibility of the matter, but not saying whether he supported or opposed it.
There was no doubt that Jian Gui, with his character, would definitely refuse this kind of thing. He almost didn't even think about it before expressing his position: "This is not good."
Jian Gui was the guild leader. When he spoke, it was equivalent to sentencing the plan to death. Piaoliu was still calm, but at some point, he had already put the "Gate of Teleportation" scroll on the table. It was as if this was not a scroll, but a multiple-choice question.
Gu Fei was not here at this time, otherwise, with his character of returning the equipment he looted from people, he would be even more disdainful of this idea, and his impression of Piaoliu's gloominess would deepen a few more points.
"It's really not good to take people's things, but this plan is not bad. We can try to make some changes," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Oh?" Piaoliu looked over.
"For example, pretend to take their things," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Huh? After we're done, we'll pretend to forget to return it?" Zhan Wushang asked.
Han Jia Gongzi rolled his eyes and ignored Zhan Wushang. He continued: "This way, we'll completely take the initiative. Ying Qi will do everything to hunt us down to the end. At that time, everyone can kill to their heart's content."
Everyone was very confused and didn't understand Han Jia Gongzi's change very well.
"Is this a blow to Ying Qi?" Yun Zhongmu was the first to raise his doubts. "For things like fighting and killing, the studio won't have many people. Most of them will hire players to do it. If we fight each other, what is Ying Qi's loss? The hiring fee?"
At this time, Han Jia Gongzi's gaze had turned to Jian Gui: "This time, it's a completely different opponent. Fighting and killing desperately is irrelevant to the studio. Those who lose levels, lose experience, and lose equipment in the process are nothing more than ordinary players like us. The Eagle Squad is just holding Ying Qi's long-term meal ticket. Even if the Eagle Squad is destroyed, they can issue short-term meal tickets at any time to collect new manpower. These people, like all of us, are just ordinary players, but at this time, they have become the studio's pawns. Not to mention that we will inevitably suffer losses in battle, even if we win every battle, what does the studio lose in this process? Nothing more than a little gold coin spent on hiring players."
"To deal with this kind of unusual opponent, we can only use this kind of unusual method. The kind of methods used by conventional guilds to fight and kill will ultimately harm our own brothers and more players who have nothing to do with this matter."
"To deal with Ying Qi, only this method is truly effective, or, just don't continue," Han Jia Gongzi finally said.
The room was silent. Those who were originally shaken by this approach felt that what Han Jia Gongzi said made a lot of sense after hearing it. Zhan Wushang and Yutian Shenming and the like looked at each other, and what they saw in each other's eyes was unbelievable. This guy, Han Jia Gongzi, always does whatever he wants and doesn't care about the life or death of others, even his own partners? With his brain circuit, there's no reason why he could come up with this kind of argument? Could it be that he also relied on this kind of thinking to strengthen his belief in robbing Ying Qi? Zhan Wushang and Yutian Shenming would never believe it even if they were beaten to death. Does this guy need such an excuse? If I want to rob, I'll rob. That's probably enough for that guy.
Everyone was looking at Jian Gui at this time. People with ideas were already looking forward to it, and those without ideas were hoping that Jian Gui would finally make a conclusion on this matter.
This kind of silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, and Jian Gui finally opened his mouth: "Then, let's not continue!"
Jian Gui still didn't compromise after all. He still couldn't approve of this kind of behavior, but at the same time, he realized that continuing to fight with the studio would only harm the interests of his brothers and more innocent players. Stopping the fight against the studio was the only choice.
From this perspective, Jian Gui compromised again. He insisted on his beliefs, but had to compromise with the studio. Because his beliefs made him unable to find a formal way to defeat the studio.
The silence continued again. Han Jia Gongzi didn't say anything more. He seemed to have known this answer for a long time. The people in the room didn't know what to say for a while. Piaoliu silently put away the scroll on the table: "I'm going out for a walk."
"There are so many emails again, I'm going to take a look," Yun Xiang was the second to run.
"There are still a lot of things in Cloud City that I need to familiarize myself with. I have to hurry up! Hahaha!" Yun Zhongmu smiled and got up, and also left.
"Hey, that girl who just passed by is not bad!" Yutian Shenming said, looking at the window with eagle eyes.
"Really? Speed!" Zhan Wushang snatched out the door, and Yutian Shenming followed closely behind.
"It's been a long time since we went back to Lin Yin. Should everyone miss us?" Shui Shen asked Lu Ke.
"Uh, it's good to go back and take a look," Lu Ke replied, and the two left.
"Bai Shi and Ran Yi seem to be getting out of prison soon too. Let's go take a look," Jian Nan You also took a group of brothers and left.
"Ahem, I remembered that I seem to have written a few wrong words in the post I just posted. I'm going to take a look," You Ge also flashed.
In a moment, the people in the room had left completely. They didn't say a word about Jian Gui's decision, and they all left like this. Only Jian Gui and Han Jia Gongzi were left in the room.
"I let everyone down..." Jian Gui sighed. He himself had such beliefs, but he knew that not everyone would be the same as him, and he never forced others to be the same as him. So he thought that his decision would make many people unhappy.
"I think they're relieved," Han Jia Gongzi said instead.
Jian Gui didn't understand.
"No matter what kind of excuses, this approach is not very beautiful after all. I think everyone has some obstacles in their hearts, wanting to do it but not wanting to do it. Now that you've refused it in one word, you don't have to pay attention to it," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"I hope so!" Jian Gui sighed.
The people who left the guild residence basically went their separate ways. Some went to level up, some went to do quests, and some went to walk around the market. The first to walk through the city gate was Yun Zhongmu. His brothers, including him, had lost levels this time, so they were seizing the time to level up. At this time, he was also thinking of going outside the leveling area to meet up with everyone. On the way through the city gate, he took the letters from the mailbox. Players who don't have urgent matters won't rush to the mailbox as soon as they receive an email notification. They just casually glance at the letters when they pass by every day. There are also small advertisements flying around randomly in the game. Especially the studios, sending private messages to players is their most commonly used advertising mode. People like Yun Zhongmu, who are on the list and are the heads of large guilds, are unceremoniously called VIP members of the studio by the major studios. They often send letters saying that they have recently acquired some equipment and welcome them to inquire.
Yun Zhongmu had been busy recently and hadn't remembered to check his mailbox very much. At this time, he turned it over and found that there were really many advertising letters. Obviously, the recent hot battles of the Ten Guild Alliance had attracted many studios. For them, this was an excellent opportunity to make war money, and they all sent letters to Yun Zhongmu to promote various equipment, combat props, spell scrolls, etc.
Yun Zhongmu casually flipped through these letters. Soon, he discovered a letter from Ying Yang.
Ying Yang. Yun Zhongmu, who had studied a lot of information about the Eagle Squad, of course knew this name. He opened the letter in surprise and found that the other party wanted to make an appointment to talk in person.
Yun Zhongmu immediately told this news in the guild channel and also informed Jian Gui in private.
"Oh? They took the initiative to talk? That's good!" Han Jia Gongzi perked up a bit after hearing this. He was very black-hearted when it came to ripping people off.
This time, Jian Gui didn't say anything more. After all, the studio had also caused them a lot of losses. It was nothing wrong to give everyone some compensation.
"It's a pity that it wasn't Yongyuan who came," Han Jia Gongzi said regretfully. If it was this guy, they could kill him after the talk.
"Do you want to meet?" Yun Zhongmu asked. He was at the mailbox, waiting for a reply! Of course, he didn't know that Ying Yang had sent letters to all of them.
"Reply, tell him to meet at the Little Thunder Tavern," Han Jia Gongzi said, referring to this representative location in Cloud City. Players who come to Cloud City must have a drink at the Little Thunder Tavern.
"Okay," Yun Zhongmu replied, waiting for a reply. He didn't receive any news for a long time. Just as he was getting impatient, he saw a person on the street walking towards the mailbox. No matter how Yun Zhongmu looked at it, he felt that it was a little familiar. But in Cloud City, besides those friends, he didn't have any friends who were so familiar. Just as he was wondering, the other party had already taken the initiative to speak: "Guild Leader Yun, hello!"
"Ying Yang?" Yun Zhongmu reacted.
=============================================================
Hello everyone, I'm the update, long time no see, does anyone miss me?
