Hu Die Lan
Chapter 360 A Friend
With a PK value of 29, teleporting away from the system guards' line of sight, and no other system guards around, meant safety. Gu Fei, after exiting the wanted mission office, cautiously inquired about the resurrection point and went to log off.
At the same time, several members of Young Master's Elite Squad were sitting in a tavern in Linshui City.
"Qian Li is still here? He should be arriving soon, right? I'll call him!" Brother You was saying this when, suddenly, Gu Fei's name went dark, indicating he'd logged off.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Although Gu Fei wasn't present, his spirit of logging off early was definitely worthy of contempt.
"Why hasn't your friend arrived yet either?" After disdaining Gu Fei, Zhan Wu Shang craned his neck, looking towards the tavern door, as if anticipating someone important.
"Let me ask again." Brother You sent a message, his expression immediately turning extremely surprised.
"What is it?" The other four asked.
"Out of service area..." Brother You said, stunned.
The other four also stared blankly.
"A master like him, the only person who could send him to jail..." Brother You said cautiously.
"Can't say that. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, even a hero can't withstand a crowd. Look at how awesome Qian Li is, right? But no matter how awesome he is, if we all go together, we all go together... well, there's still a certain chance!" Zhan Wu Shang said.
"Cut!!" Zhan Wu Shang's words were met with severe contempt from the others. As a top expert, saying such unconfident words made them not want to sit at the same table as him.
"Since he's in jail, we can also visit him there," Jian Gui suggested.
"Let's go take a look!" Brother You got up.
"Who's paying the visiting fee, who's paying the visiting fee!" Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.
"He is!" Young Master Han pointed towards the door, then waved his hand: "Guild Leader Wu Shi."
"Yo, you guys are here too!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian and his brother Feng Xing walked in from outside the tavern. Ever since solving the problems in LinYin City, Wu Shi Zhi Jian found the members of Young Master's Elite Squad more and more pleasing to the eye. The boat ride was boring, and he often came over to get close to them, repeatedly expressing his concern for Comrade Gu Fei.
"What are you doing, Guild Leader Wu Shi?" Young Master Han asked warmly. Wu Shi Zhi Jian happily scurried over: "I just arrived in this city and wanted to wander around and understand the situation."
"The tavern is indeed a good place to gather information," Young Master Han nodded.
"Naturally." Wu Shi Zhi Jian said cheerfully, "How long have you guys been here?"
"We just sat for a while and are now preparing to visit a friend," Young Master Han said.
"A friend?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian muttered to himself, quite shocked. He knew that the people in front of him were all top experts in the online game world, each with their noses in the air. For them to take the initiative to visit someone, that friend was probably not a small character!
"Guild Leader Wu Shi, you're busy, we'll go ahead!" Young Master Han signaled the others to get up.
So everyone got up, and someone even enthusiastically shouted to Wu Shi Zhi Jian: "Perfect, Guild Leader Wu Shi, you can sit here!" After speaking, they slowly walked towards the door, already filled with anticipation. Everyone had already seen through Young Master Han's intentions.
"Hey, everyone!!!" Just as they were about to leave, Wu Shi Zhi Jian finally chased after them.
The five turned around, looking at him with ignorant expressions.
"What's the matter?" Young Master Han's expression was the most innocent.
"I don't seem to have anything to do. Why don't I go with you and sit with your friend, so everyone can have a good time?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian suggested.
"Sitting is possible, but having a good time, I'm afraid it won't be very lively," Young Master Han said.
"Why?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked, puzzled.
"Because this friend is currently in jail," Young Master Han said.
"Ah..." Wu Shi Zhi Jian was stunned. So he was in jail. That indeed forced people to visit. In that case, this person was probably not that remarkable. As Wu Shi Zhi Jian was speculating, Young Master Han suddenly added: "However, I think Guild Leader Wu Shi should visit this friend."
"Oh, who exactly is it?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked.
"Come, let's talk as we walk!" Young Master Han gestured.
"Guild Leader Wu Shi, from LinYin City to Linshui City, don't you think it's a bit strange?" On the way, Young Master Han suddenly changed the subject.
Wu Shi Zhi Jian didn't understand his meaning and could only follow along: "How so?"
"Look." Young Master Han analyzed for him: "From YunDuan City to YueYe City, there were cliffs and blocking mountain bandits; from YueYe City to BaiShi City, there were werewolves blocking the road; and from BaiShi City to LinYin City, we encountered Shui Shen and the others with their two-way mission. Judging from these three times, this escort mission is a checkpoint for each city. The first three times all happened on the road between the two cities. But this time, after leaving LinYin City and taking a boat to Linshui City, nothing happened."
"That's right, that's how it is..." Wu Shi Zhi Jian already seemed to understand something.
"If we leave Linshui City now and still nothing happens, doesn't that mean that the system didn't set up any difficulty on the section from LinYin City to Linshui City? Do you think the system would be so generous to you?" Young Master Han said.
"Of course not!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian blurted out. The shamelessness of the parallel world's system was deeply rooted in people's hearts. No one believed they could get any great benefits from the system.
"So, tomorrow when we pick up Todd and leave Linshui City, something is bound to happen?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.
Young Master Han nodded very seriously.
"That's right, that must be it!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian frowned, gnawing on his fingers.
"So, I suggest you also go with us to visit this friend," Young Master Han said.
"What do you mean?" The topic hadn't touched on "this friend" all along, and now it suddenly circled back, leaving Wu Shi Zhi Jian a little confused.
"In this territory of Linshui City, I think he can be of great help," Young Master Han said.
"Oh!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian understood somewhat. So this person was a local tyrant in Linshui City! Just like Wu Shi Zhi Jian in YunDuan City, if anyone came to YunDuan City with something to do, he could also be of great help.
"I understand, I understand, then let's go quickly!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian urged.
The seven quickened their pace and soon arrived at the Linshui City dungeon.
"Gentlemen?" After submitting the visiting application, the dungeon guard asked mechanically.
"Seven," Brother You said, glancing back as if counting heads, and then reached for his money bag.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! How can you do that? I'll do it, I'll do it!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian rushed up. Young Master Han turned his face to the side at the right time, revealing a smug smile.
As a result, at this point, the members of Young Master's Elite Squad felt a little bad. Wu Shi Zhi Jian was not stingy and was quite generous, but because he was the head of a large guild, he often had a pompous and arrogant manner that made people uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Wu Shi Zhi Jian didn't put on any airs and was very humbly fighting to pay the bill, so everyone couldn't control themselves, and in the face of such a generous scene, everyone had to fight to pay.
So everyone was seen waving their money bags, engaging in a fierce competition, unable to determine the winner for a long time. Jian Gui shrank to the side and said calmly, "Stop fighting, let's AA!" (split the bill)
"How can that be! I'll do it!" Taking advantage of everyone's moment of stunned silence, Wu Shi Zhi Jian handed the money to the system guard without explanation.
The system guard naturally wouldn't care whose money it was. As long as it matched the amount for seven people, then these seven people could form a team and enter smoothly.
As soon as they entered the dungeon, the seven immediately felt that their trip was worthwhile. Linshui City seemed unremarkable on the outside, but it had this kind of depth.
The dungeon of Linshui City was actually a water prison!
And the passage where the seven were now was above the prison cells. The water prison had walls on all sides, and the iron railings were attached to the ceiling. The dungeon and the jailed players could be said to be all under the feet of the seven.
Looking down, the seven discovered another strange phenomenon. The water level in the prison was adjusted according to the height of the players. Regardless of whose cell it was, the water was basically chest-deep. This had to be credited to the greatness of the system, because in a real-world prison, it would be difficult to be so people-oriented and considerate.
The seven passed several prison cells one after another, seeing very few players. It could be seen that the deterrent power of the water prison was very strong, leading to a relatively low crime rate in Linshui City.
Don't think that being in the water prison is as comfortable as taking a bath. Leaving aside how uncomfortable it is to soak in water for several hours, the more important thing is that you can't sit or lie down in the water prison, which is the truly terrifying thing about it.
Since there weren't many people in jail, the seven quickly found Brother You's friend.
Being soaked in water, of course, meant that there was no more talk of demeanor. This person also had a look of depression, and seeing someone come to visit didn't reduce his depression at all.
"You're here," he said listlessly.
"Yeah, how did it come to this?" Brother You asked.
"Damn it, I met a rogue!" the other person said.
"How so?" Brother You asked.
"That guy ran all the way here with a system guard following him, shouting about my mission. I didn't understand and asked what mission it was, but that guy had already run in front of me and said it was a wanted mission, and then joined forces with the guard to kill me," the friend in the water said.
The members of Young Master's Elite Squad felt a shudder in their hearts. Shouting about a wanted mission was too much like Gu Fei's style.
"What did that person look like?" Brother You's heart was in his throat.
"He seemed to be a mage, but I didn't see him use magic. At that time, the guard mainly crippled me with a sword, and then he smeared me from behind. Oh right, he used a sword, wore a black mage robe, and his attack was accompanied by electric magic damage," the person described.
"Video mage?" Brother You asked.
The person immediately revealed a look of realization: "Yes, yes, yes, he seemed very similar to the video mage."
So everyone revealed bitter smiles.
