Accumulating rich experience in a series of anti-encirclement competitions and developing keen senses, Mang Mang De Mang Mang quickly noticed the abnormality of the surrounding crowd. The lithe-waisted dancer, in a sense, was as arrogant as Young Master Han. She didn't realize any of this at the moment, and glared at a player in the front of the line who was slow to pick up their goods, shouting at the two of them in a daze, "What are you looking at! Haven't you seen a beauty before? Get your stuff."

Before she could finish speaking, Mang Mang De Mang Mang grabbed her and dragged her out. It just so happened that they were two girls; most people would have been more tolerant and wouldn't have thought of taking action before they understood. If it had been Glue and Fire-Clad, they would have been sprayed by the onlookers long ago.

"What are you running for?" The lithe-waisted dancer hadn't noticed anything unusual even after she had been dragged out.

"You're talking too loud. Everyone thinks we're robbing them," said Mang Mang De Mang Mang.

"Who dares!" The lithe-waisted dancer put her hands on her hips, glaring. Looking back, she saw that half of the players were still following them with their eyes. Now, the lithe-waisted dancer could see the suspicion in their eyes.

"Let's just go with your plan and wait for their reply." Mang Mang De Mang Mang didn't want to cause any more trouble and hurriedly pulled the lithe-waisted dancer away.

Jian Nan You had no idea how many nights he hadn't slept. Ever since he devoted himself to the parallel world, he had been making full use of the late-night hours when there were relatively few online players. Today was the first time he had tried to act like a normal person, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Unsatisfactory work, a bottleneck in his career. These were the problems that Jian Nan You was currently struggling with. Today, the brothers didn't even say goodbye to each other when they logged off, which showed how depressed everyone was.

"Staff, staff..." In his heart and mind, Jian Nan You used the staff as if he were counting sheep, counting over a thousand times, and finally managed to fall asleep.

The next morning, everyone was online. They greeted each other, but didn't say much. No one asked how the day's activities were arranged; everything seemed cautious.

Jian Nan You also had nothing to say for the time being. He went to the mailbox at the city gate as usual. He checked his in-game mail every day, as he couldn't stay online 24 hours a day. Often, business came to him through letters when he wasn't around.

He checked the mailbox every day, but that didn't mean there was business every day. He casually looked through a few letters, all meaningless small talk, until he saw a letter from the lithe-waisted dancer. Jian Nan You was shocked and read the letter five times over.

If it had been before, receiving a business order from the number one RMB warrior in the online game would have been great news for Jian Nan You and his team. This was also the main reason why Jian Nan You and his team were unwilling to antagonize the lithe-waisted dancer. The vast majority of their business came from RMB warriors, and the lithe-waisted dancer was the client they had dreamed of.

But now, Jian Nan You could only sigh that the letter had come too late. Given the current entanglement between the lithe-waisted dancer and them, Jian Nan You could only draw one conclusion after reading the letter five times: a trap, another trap to lure them out.

Jian Nan You thought about deleting the letter, but stopped suddenly. This was a trap, but it wasn't without its exploitable points...

Thinking this, Jian Nan You quickly gathered the others and told them in detail about receiving the letter from the lithe-waisted dancer.

There was silence. The other six people were like wooden figures. After listening to the whole situation, they remained expressionless and silent. Clearly, the letter had not sparked any thought in them.

Jian Nan You sighed and had to speak himself, "This letter is another trap, but it's not impossible to use it."

The six stared at Jian Nan You with dull eyes.

"As I see it, they want to use us to get the staff back and destroy us again at the same time—a plan to kill two birds with one stone. But we can just use their trick against them," Jian Nan You said.

There was still no response. Jian Nan You finally couldn't remain indifferent and scanned the six of them one by one, saying, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Da Nan, don't you want to give up yet?" The speaker was Fire-Clad, the one who had suffered the most psychological and physical blows.

"Give up? You want to give up?" Jian Nan You looked at the six.

The six didn't speak, but Jian Nan You still understood what they meant. It wasn't that they wanted to give up, but that they had lost confidence. They were hesitating.

In fact, Jian Nan You was no different. From counting staffs to fall asleep last night to seeing the letter when he woke up today, he had also been in this hesitant state of losing confidence. But when he saw the letter, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his heart.

"Even if we give up, it's not the final moment yet." Jian Nan You shook the letter in his hand at the six.

"What's wrong with this letter?" Sure enough, the six had not thought about it at all.

"I said, they want to use us to get the staff back. So before we get the staff back, they shouldn't bother us again. We should take this opportunity to get the staff smoothly first," Jian Nan You said.

"Are you sure that's the case? Maybe it's just another lure to get us to show up." Black Water took the letter from Jian Nan You to take a look, but was speechless after reading it. Jian Nan You had made the situation sound complicated, but there were only a few words on the letter: Double the price, I want the staff. Signed, The Lithe-Waisted Dancer.

The others passed it around one by one, and in the end, they all had the same feeling: it's good to have money. What an arrogant and domineering tone in this letter! They couldn't help but think of the difficulty of haggling over every penny with someone like Yin Yue when trying to do business. Why hadn't they managed to win over such an excellent client as the lithe-waisted dancer, and why were they fighting against her for the sake of that Yin Yue? Fate was truly ironic.

"What a nice girl!" Everyone sighed. Ordinary players might look down on RMB players, but Jian Nan You and his group liked them the most.

"Even so, we still can't be sure if she really wants to buy it or not!" Glue reminded everyone that, given their current antagonistic relationship with the lithe-waisted dancer, it would be a bit careless to simply believe that this was a business deal.

Jian Nan You nodded, "So we still need some necessary preparations."

He then looked at Glue and Fire-Clad, "Yesterday, I was careless. I should have been prepared for them to be squatting at the wanted mission office. After all, they know about the Chasing Wind Emblem."

Jian Nan You's admission of his mistake was also to boost morale, to make everyone realize that yesterday's defeat was not because the opponent was too strong, but because they themselves had made a mistake. In other words, if they eliminated mistakes, they would have a chance of winning.

"So today, we need to monitor the wanted mission office in advance," Jian Nan You said.

"I'll go!" Black Water volunteered. Considering that A Thousand Li Drunk and Bai Shi Jing Lun were working together, this place was the most dangerous. Black Water, who had stealth abilities, felt that he was more suitable for this place.

Glue sighed. Originally, remote monitoring was also very safe for him, but unfortunately, he was now level 39 and had lost his Eagle Eye skill, so he couldn't monitor remotely.

"Then you go!" Jian Nan You said.

Black Water nodded, "Then I'll go now."

"Be careful." The others wished him well as if they were sending him to a dragon's den, and watched Black Water's back disappear around the street corner.

"What about the auction house? We don't even know if the staff has been taken away," Glue said.

"You go to the auction house." Jian Nan You looked at Inexhaustible Rice.

"Oh?" In theory, anyone could monitor the auction house, but Jian Nan You specifically designated Inexhaustible Rice, which seemed to have some deeper meaning.

"It's a bit troublesome there. It might not work if we just stare like me and Fire-Clad did yesterday." Glue was still haunted by the scene of being sprayed by the onlookers yesterday.

"We can't do it like that." Jian Nan You nodded, took out a roll of paper from his pocket and spread it on the ground. He wrote a few large characters on the paper, then blackened them. Then he found a piece of wood and held out his hand to Glue, "Glue."

"Hmm?"

"I said, give me some glue." Jian Nan You said.

Glue wiped his sweat and took out some glue from his pocket and gave it to him.

Jian Nan You glued the written paper to the wooden board, picked it up, and stuffed it into Inexhaustible Rice's arms.

Inexhaustible Rice, holding the wooden board, was sweating profusely, "Does it have to be like this?"

The seven large characters written on the glued wooden sign read: Seeking the Ideal Staff.

Jian Nan You nodded, "This way, no one should suspect you."

Inexhaustible Rice finally understood why Jian Nan You wanted him to do this. Of course, it made the most sense for a priest to be looking for this staff. Although there were two priests in their team, the other priest, Forest Wood, was an extremely honest fellow, the type who couldn't be forced to say a word even if you hit him three times. Doing something like this in public that attracted attention was probably more painful than death for him. Jian Nan You and the others were sometimes surprised that such an honest and obedient guy would be as evil as they were, engaging in robbery.

"I'll help you get a wanted mission with the Chasing Wind Emblem, and we'll complete it for you first," Jian Nan You said.

"Okay!" Inexhaustible Rice nodded.

"Any other questions?" Jian Nan You asked.

"Can I cover my face?"

"No, that will easily arouse suspicion." Covering one's face inevitably makes people think that you are going to do something shady, so sometimes, when you are really doing this kind of thing, not covering your face becomes a necessary choice. For example, Glue and Fire-Clad didn't cover their faces yesterday.

"No problem..." Inexhaustible Rice just felt that it was a bit silly and embarrassing to stand there holding this sign.

"You go to the auction house alone. The others, like yesterday, pay attention to the various resurrection points and prepare all the equipment." Jian Nan You said.

The other four nodded.

"Then let's first help Inexhaustible Rice with a wanted mission, and then we'll start." Jian Nan You announced.

Inexhaustible Rice sighed, put the wooden sign back in his pocket first, took the Chasing Wind Emblem from Glue, and went to the wanted mission office to accept a mission.

About half an hour later, performance art appeared at the White Stone City Auction House. A priest with a blank expression was holding up a sign in the auction house: Seeking the Ideal Staff.
