Chapter 256
Chapter 256: Don’t be leisurely
Time passed quietly, and it was the end of the year in a flash.
This day was December 26th. I was sitting leisurely in the hall of "Koran Women's Clothing", watching Xiaotong, the chief costume designer and tailor of "Koran Women's Clothing", and her assistant Xiaoxue were busy together.
The soft "salon" leather has gone through processes and becomes leather with a similar color to the skin, and I feel proud. At the auction three days ago, the first leather armor sewn from "salon" leather was sold by a hunter at a high price of 2.3 million gold coins in his "Longhuxuan Auction House".
To be honest, the "salon" leather in a soft state is indeed one of the best materials for tailors to handle. It can be turned into leather armor of different sizes without much effort.
In addition, my helper on the side added various levels of "soul beads" with earth attributes in the direction of the formation, which greatly strengthened the attributes of leather armor. Now, a finished "Salon" leather armor requires at least 500 points of "Sun Power" to create a finger-sized break on it. Even if you succeed in doing this, you will be hit by the leather armor itself.
So this piece of equipment, which I officially named "Qinglong Leather Armor", immediately attracted the attention of countless players after Zhang San's strong publicity. If the price of equipment had not dropped significantly recently, it would have been more than just the number of 2.3 million.
I took a mouthful of "Snow Scenery" and lay on the soft recliner covered with snow-white tiger skin. I was enjoying the joy of the auction in my heart. At this time, two subtle and crisp sounds came into my ears: "Sister Xiaotong, look at our boss, what's wrong? The hand holding the wine glass was shaking like this. Did the 'epilepsy' attack?"
"How could it be? There is no such disease in the game. I have only heard of poisoning. I think, our boss is in a very advanced hidden weapon skill. You see, not only is his hands shaking violently, but his whole body is shaking slightly, which means that he is always in a state of ready to go!" Xiaotong said proudly.
"Ah--" Xiaoxue exclaimed softly and said, "I finally understand why the boss is so powerful now. It turns out that he never forgets his martial arts skills!"
Hearing this, huge waves appeared in my heart, and my face turned red and white. If I hadn't been dead, I would have been blowing away at the two self-righteous little women. But because of this, the wine invaded the trachea slightly, which made me feel very embarrassed and had to use the "Taihua power" to get a little better.
However, just when I thought I was in the past, Xiaoxue began to whisper again: "Sister Xiaotong, look at the boss, he is really a cultivator. His face can become so fast, it's really amazing!"
"Xiaoxue, don't talk nonsense." It seemed that Xiaotong had discovered something that stopped Xiaoxue from talking nonsense: "It's better to make these leathers into leather armor quickly. The boss's personal task was not dared to neglect even if the boss lady dared not neglect!"
"Hehe, Sister Xiaotong, I understand." After saying that, the hall became quiet, and only the slight sounds from the hands of the two people continued to reach my ears.
I finally let out a heavy breath. I thought to myself that these two little girls are really powerful people. The words seemed innocent and unintentional, but they were purely angry with me.
In fact, the two people who learned about the approximate state between Zhang Lan and me never gave up the opportunity to attack me. Although the name of this store is still me, they always regard Zhang Lan as their head and do not take me as the boss seriously.
If Zhang Lan hadn't said anything before, I'm afraid these two tailors wouldn't have taken my orders to heart. They slowly opened their eyes, and the slightly weird expressions of Xiaotong and Xiaoxue were attracted. Seeing me open my eyes, they looked disdainful and focused all their attention on sewing leather armor.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but shake my head. I slowly got up from the recliner, and then came to the front of the "Koran Women's Clothing", which was also a place that faced the customers directly. There, Zhang Lan and a recently recruited female player waiter introduced the clothes in the store to some female players.
Although I saw my arrival, the two of them did not show much, just nodded to me. I didn’t want to disturb their work. I also nodded and browsed in the store.
In addition to many clothing and jewelry with obvious traditional Chinese characteristics, the goods in the "Koran Women's Clothing" are mixed with countless Western clothing. Of course, I brought these clothes back. In fact, since the "Eastern Continent" and "Western Continent" were opened, many people have started to do such a transaction: bring local goods to another continent, and then use the cost and profit after selling the goods to purchase goods on another continent.
Of course, the big ones are reselling fine wine and other consumable goods like me. Many of them have earned a lot of extra money in this vigorous reselling tide.
In comparison, among the resellers in the East and West, we Eastern players have the advantage, because the consumption level of the "Western Continent" itself is slightly higher than that of the "Eastern Continent", which is one of the reasons why I was able to make so much profit in those resellers in just a few times.
However, here I have to talk about the cunning of the game company again. The game company has long noticed this illegal reselling activity, but they did not respond. Until one day, all the shop owners received a "Flying Pigeon Letter" or "Owl Letter", and were accused that if they sell goods from another mainland in their shops, they must add a "foreign trade import tax" to the tax, and 10% of the profits of these foreign goods disappeared in a sudden.
To be honest, on that day, almost all the shop owners and resellers in the two continents cursed the game company's policy. The gold coins they earned with hard work were divided into 10%, and no matter who they were replaced, they would feel like they were "blacklisted".
But in fact, almost no one stopped this kind of reselling activity, because the profits were much more than the "foreign trade import tax". Therefore, this reselling activity has continued. However, in recent times, more and more exchanges between the two mainlands have made this reselling activity unable to make too much profit. Game companies have also wisely reduced the "foreign trade import tax" and changed the original 10% to the current one.
"Boss--" A voice came from afar.
Without looking, I knew it was the guy "Norman". Since I came to the "Oriental Continent", "Norman" was extremely wild. Because I had no plans to go out, "Norman" started his own holiday; today I went to this restaurant to try their special dishes, and tomorrow I went to the beach to fish, and tomorrow I didn't know which auction house to join in the fun, making trouble for those players who were interested in some equipment or other types of auction items, and almost got chased by others.
I clearly remember that this was the cry that brought a large group of pursuers to me. If my reputation was not quite loud and I had a little face in the eyes of others, "Norman" would probably have been able to corpse in the wilderness.
Looking at the "Norman" running to me in a panic, my heart was lifted up and I couldn't help but say sternly: "Norman, you are not causing trouble again, are you?"
"No! Absolutely not!" "Norman" quickly denied: "I just got news from a friend of the 'Western Continent' that someone spent a lot of money to invite the 'Western Continent' to come to the 'Eastern Continent' to assassinate you!"
Seeing the surprised expressions of the female customers around me, I quickly pulled "Norman" into the inner room and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on? Is the news accurate?"
"The news is absolutely reliable!" Norman adjusted his breathing: "My friend is a member of the intelligence department of the most famous assassin group "Medusa" in the 'Western Continent'. He knew about this when he was talking to a colleague. I heard that a big man paid 1 billion gold coins to buy your life, and specifically asked the 'Three Musketeers of Killer' to carry out this mission in person."
"Medusa? Big man? Three Killer Musketeers?" I said three terms that I didn't understand in succession.
"'Medusa' is the most powerful assassination group in the Western Continent. It is said that every killer in it is a master. The most famous assassination operation was in July this year. They dispatched two assassins, and the two worked together to kill all twenty-seven masters of the same level as the two.
"That assassination operation can be said to be a major event that caused a sensation in the entire 'Western continent'. I clearly remember that the murdered players and their friends launched a massive operation to find the traces of 'Medusa'. However, after more than a month of searching, without any clues, I had to stop the action that wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.
"So, it is natural to put ‘Medusa’ in the position of the No. 1 Assassin Group in the Western Continent. As for the big man who spent money to buy evil, my friend didn't know who it was. But based on your experience in the Western Continent, he guessed that it was likely to be the boss behind the ‘Sun Not Set’ group, or the ‘Forty Thieves’.
"However, for me, the latter is unlikely. Because even if the "Forty Thieves" have money, it is very difficult to take out a billion gold coins. In addition, you later broke out the "Roman" matter. Now the "Forty Thieves" are in a state of falling apart, and it is impossible to raise so much money.
"What's more, even if they really have this money, they won't spend it on this. Instead of using billions of gold coins to buy murderers, it's better to buy a piece of super equipment and fight you to the death with the boss."
"Norman" analyzed with a dog-headed military advisor. His shaking of his head further deepened this image a little. This guy always learns some useless things, which really makes me helpless.
"There are also the 'Three Killer Musketeers'!" I kept interrupting the good mood of "Norman".
"When it comes to the words of the 'Three Killer', the words are long." "Norman" heard the title, and his eyes flashed with a strange look: "The 'Three Killer' is the three most powerful killers of 'Medusa', and they are also the founders of 'Medusa'. Each of them is one of the best masters in the 'Western continent'. I heard that their strength is not inferior to the Louise who was once defeated by the boss."
"They are all good at magic, especially at 'magic array'. I heard that as long as they step into her 'magic array', they don't have to think or walk out. I also heard that her face is very beautiful, of course these are all heard of."
"Is she a woman?" I looked surprised.
Although there are many female players who choose killers as a profession in "Oriental Continent" itself, and due to the inherent strength defects of women, the killer profession is very suitable for female players, but female players who really use killers as a profession are still very small. Therefore, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Haha, isn't it amazing?" "Norman" looked proud and said, "At first, everyone didn't know that it was a female killer. Later, during a mission, the killer accidentally met a good man and was almost successful in counterattacking, so her gender was also exposed."
Seeing that I had no big reaction to this, "Norman" continued to introduce others: "The other is a real assassin, who is very proficient in 'invisibility' and 'disguise'. I'm afraid even if he pretends to be me and stands in front of you, the boss, he will probably not reveal too many flaws. Therefore, this guy has the title of 'Thousand-faced Killer'."
"The last killer is a pure archer. This guy doesn't have any fighting spirit at all, but the arrows he shot are very strange and silent, which makes people unable to feel them at all, and often makes people killed inexplicably. It is said that his bows and arrows are specially made and can easily break most of any equipment. Therefore, it is difficult to prevent this person unless he fights head-on.
"Each of them is a super expert. Once they cooperate to kill people, whoever wants to die will definitely be on the street. So, boss, you are in danger this time. My friend also said that they will deliberately choose you to enter the 'Kaitian City' No. 1 'Martial Arena' to assassinate, to create a shadow of death in public."
"Kaitian City" is a new city between "Pangu City" and "Iron Blood Town". It was built specifically for the "Oriental Continent" New Year celebration. This time, our city lord finally got the qualification to hold a New Year celebration, and it can be said that it was a lot of effort to build "Kaitian City".
As the No. 1 "Martial Arena" that occupies a quarter of the "Kaitian City", it is directly the venue for the New Year celebration. According to the scheduled plan, I will attend as a special guest of the New Year celebration and make a debut on the stage.
If I killed me before I entered the No. 1 "Fighting Arena", then an hour of death would be enough to change many things. At that time, not only me, but also the entire "Oriental Continent" New Year celebration would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel terrified. One billion gold coins are more than 80 million yuan. With such a huge number, only the "Sun Not Set" group, which has huge hatred with me, can have such a big deal.
I couldn't help but ask, "Norman, your friend - well, how do you say, how long have he known you?"
"For ten years, he has been my good friend since he was a child, and there is absolutely no possibility of lying to me. Because I told him before that I would go to the 'Eastern Continent' with you, the boss, so he told me the news as soon as he got it. So, boss, this news is absolutely reliable." "Norman" patted his chest and promised.
"Since the information is absolutely reliable, I have a picture." I looked ahead, ignoring the exquisitely crafted women's clothing on the wall, all my thinking was running quickly.
The other party wanted to assassinate me before I entered the "Kaitian City" No. 1 "Martial Arts Arena". This is easy to solve. As long as I enter the "Martial Arts Arena" in advance, it would be fine. But this is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. As long as the "Three Musketeers of Killer" are still alive, they will conduct a second assassination.
I only have to take the initiative to catch thieves, but not a thousand days to defend against thieves. I also don’t want to waste a lot of time on such things. So killing these "Three Killer Musketeers" is the only way to solve this problem.
That female magician should not be difficult to deal with. I am not familiar with the "magic array", and the other party is also not familiar with the "formula" in the East. It depends on who is better at the level and who can make sufficient preparations in advance.
That assassin is also not a problem. The superb spiritual consciousness from the "Five Animal Show" allows me to easily distinguish the "disguise technique" and "invisibility technique" or "scene technique" learned by "Kongkong'er in the "Wilderness World". Now I am increasingly discovering the convenience of the superb spiritual consciousness from the "Five Animal Show", and even knowing the preciousness of the "Five Animal Show".
So as long as I find this assassin, I don’t think I will give the other party a chance to get close to me. Even if there is any existence, close combat is not my weakness.
Then the only one left is the mysterious archer. Special bows and arrows, special skills, silent killing methods, and long-range attack methods will definitely make me unable to defend. I am not sure that I can find the existence of the opponent or the arrows shot by the opponent.
Because my super spiritual sense only has an absolute feeling for objects containing energy. As for ordinary wooden arrows, I can only rely on my own ears, eyesight and other feelings to distinguish them.
According to "Norman", the other party is exactly targeting my weaknesses, as if the other party is born to be my enemy.
If I can't feel the arrows shot by the other party, I will inevitably be in a passive state. In addition, the cooperation of the other two people, it is not impossible to kill me. It seems that the time for me to launch the "Qinglong Leather Armor" has been delayed, and I don't want the other party to know too early that I have such magical equipment.
At the same time, the new "titanium suit" is urgently entering my taskbar. It is now 26 days, and there is only four days before the New Year celebration. I don’t have much time to hunt down those high-level monsters myself.
Therefore, I had to turn to "Kongkong'er" and ask him to help me organize manpower and carry out large-scale monster fighting operations. Because the "air combat troops" I can command directly, except for a small number of players who obtained tickets issued by the "Pangu City" government to the "Iron Blood Sect", most of them still stayed in the "Wilderness World".
And I must not mobilize the army in the name of the sect leader for personal reasons, which does not comply with the rules of the "Iron Blood Sect".
"Oh, I said, "Is there any difference between me and you"? The most important thing is that you have never placed yourself in the position of the leader of the "Iron Blood Sect". If the "Iron Blood Sect" at the beginning and you are just a partner, you are now completely labeled as the leader of the "Iron Blood Sect". If you have any problems, the "Iron Blood Sect" will also suffer. Just like the competition I mentioned before, if you don't win, our "Iron Blood Sect" will lose the position of the No. 1 gang in the "Oriental Continent". "
"Similarly, if something happens to the Iron Blood Sect, it will inevitably affect you, the sect leader. No matter what, you are closely linked to the Iron Blood Sect. You are the founder of the Iron Blood Sect, the sect leader of the Iron Blood Sect, and the symbol of the Iron Blood Sect. No matter what you do in the future, you need to remember this."
The last sentence, "Kongkong'er" was spoken out with a stern voice. While I was shocked, it was hard to imagine why a person who was obviously several years younger than me had this mature momentum.
But I nodded and agreed to the statement of "Kongkonger". As he said, my ideal has always been to explore this magical game world alone and take risks.
It is precisely because of this that I agree to the cooperation plan of "Kongkonger", because in it I am just a hand-off manager, a relaxed character who doesn't need to worry about gang affairs at all.
But things in the world are unpredictable, and I was inevitably entangled by the "Iron Blood Sect" matters and had to temporarily take on the responsibility of a sect leader, calling on everyone and gangs to fight against the powerful "White Tiger Hall" at that time. From then on, I could no longer isolate the three words "Iron Blood Sect".
Because no matter where I go, I always hold the title of "Iron Blood Sect" sect leader, even though most people know that at first, I and I were just collaborators.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind. I looked up at "Kongkong'er" who was staring at me and said, "Okay, I will take on the responsibility of the leader of the "Iron Blood Sect" to the greatest extent in the future. But you still have to solve those ordinary and tedious tasks yourself."
"Haha, this is exactly what I hope." "Kongkong'er, who got my answer, smiled happily and disappeared from my sight.
I hurriedly got on the line. After taking a deep breath, I used the management authority of the "Iron Blood Sect" sect leader for the first time and issued a "sect leader order" to all the gang members: Because I need a large number of advanced inner alchemy, I hope that all members who are fighting monsters outside will provide help. Any gang members who provide monster inner alchemy above the monster level will be rewarded and rewarded accordingly.
