Chapter 910 A sudden turn of events
Are there a hundred good players?
No pension?
Arrive before noon tomorrow?
One fifth of the market price?
Who is this person?
For a while, a lot of questions appeared in Zordon Nightcrawler's mind. He stared at the little spiny wolf slowly walking into the tent for a long time, and then stopped. Retrieve relevant information about this young man and his team from his memory.
Little Thorn Wolf, the captain of the eighth team of the Joban Brigade, is a summoner. Like his four teammates, he is a high-level professional. His strength cannot be said to be strong, but he is definitely not weak.
The above is what Zordon sorted out in these few seconds. There is no other information other than this.
So he decided to ask if he didn’t understand...
"Well, Mr. Little Thorn Wolf."
Zordon coughed lightly, smiled gently at the handsome and handsome human boy in front of him, and asked: "Excuse me, what do you mean by what you just said? ?”
“Literally, respected President Zordon”
Little Thorn Wolf also laughed, and everyone in Zordon Nightwalker and the Paw Squad and the Beautiful Girl Mercenary Group. Under the gaze of the member of staff, he calmly shook his finger: "Given that the budget of the Archaeologists Association may be tight, I can find about a hundred 'bodyguards' who are capable of taking on important responsibilities through some special channels, and the price is only Twenty percent of the market price."
Zordon could be said to have completely understood this time, and instead of beaming with joy, there was even a hint of unnoticeable caution and suspicion in his eyes, and he paused. It took several seconds before he asked: "Is this a deal?"
Little Thorny Wolf nodded slightly and smiled: "There is no doubt that this is by no means a gift. After all, the Archaeologists Association never likes to owe favors."
"So Captain Little Thornywolf, what do you want? "Really?"
Zordon frowned, looking a little confused about the situation. Although he felt that he had heard the other party's offer before, if it was true, this matter would be inevitable. It's also a bit ridiculous.
“Didn’t I just say it~”
Little Thorny Wolf blinked and took out a shining hexagonal crystal from his pocket, which is the cave-dwelling crystal. The 'key' given to him by the human clan leader, he spread his hands helplessly and said: "I want to get the opportunity to explore the ruins with you, and I even tried my best to get this key in what I think is a relatively short three days." Key', just..."
He sighed, and his gentle and gentle eyes swept over Mo Tan and Kasena, with complicated expressions.
Mo Tan smiled kindly at Little Thorn Wolf, while Kasena nodded perfunctorily.
Although he did not say the content after 'but', the implication of Little Thorny Wolf's words was already obvious, that is, despite his desperate efforts to get the opportunity to explore the ruins, he tried his best , but still didn’t know which one of the two in front of him would get the quick start, so he reluctantly proposed a new round of transactions.
From a player's perspective, since I can't complete the reward as a reward, I will just spend money to buy it.
From the NPC's point of view, it's... well, it's a very rip-off behavior.
To be honest, if it weren't for the serious expression on the little Thorny Wolf's face, the feeling that he was in a good mood, and his polite conversation, Zordon would almost feel that this kid was just trying to make fun of himself.
"Young man..."
It took a while for Zordon to cough lightly, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at the calm and soft eyes of the little spiny wolf: "Are you sure you know? What are you talking about?”
“Of course I’m sure.”
Little Thorny Wolf nodded without thinking, walked up to Zordon and took the key in his hand. The key was gently placed on the table: "Under normal circumstances, the Archaeologists Association's exploration of ruins of similar scale requires a large team of about fifty to eighty people. Theoretically, there must be at least three epic-level people in charge, or all high-level people. Peak, the one who cooperates very well. If you want to protect us burdens, you will probably need more manpower, right?”
Zordon nodded slightly, not surprised by what Little Thorny Wolf said, because it was not a secret in the first place.
“In the previous competition, although my friends and I got the key, we were still one step behind. This is an undisputed fact.”
Little Thorn Wolf He showed a wry smile, and then naturally and casually sat on the chair next to Mo Tan, folding his long legs: "So I can only change my strategy and want you to join us in the exploration team through trading. , and the reason why the guaranteed number is one hundred is because when I walked into the tent just now, I heard something... well, what the beautiful captain said, and I understand that you seem to want to take some additional actions during the exploration process, so If there are a hundred people, it should be enough to protect everyone, right?"
Kasena raised her eyebrows and smiled inexplicably at Little Thorn Wolf: "Selling favors?"< br>
“No, it’s just a compensation.”
Little Thorny Wolf immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want to just go in for sightseeing, so if there are more of us, it means more people will share the remuneration of the Archaeologists Association. This is not fair to you."
Kasena grinned and gave a slovenly thumbs up gesture to Little Thorny Wolf: "My little brother is quite particular!"
Mo Tan I didn’t think Little Thorn Wolf was really particular about it. After learning that this was a professional player who simply collected some information about Tokiwa Studio in his spare time, he probably guessed that most of the people that Little Thorn Wolf was calling should be his own. Studio members, as to why they spent so much money, they probably did it for the rewards given by the system. Their motives are not pure, but they cannot be said to be impure either.
But to be fair, he still welcomes Little Thorny Wolf and his group and the hundred or so thugs he promised. There is no other reason. As Little Thorny Wolf said, if there are more people, woof, woof, The team and the beautiful girl mercenary group can also have a much easier time doing the task of lifting the curse of the black skin clan.
But the key to the matter is not what Mo Tan thinks, but what the person in charge of this exploration activity, that is, the head of the Golden City Archaeologists Association, Zordon Nightwalker, thinks.
So, what exactly was he thinking?
One thing to say, if it hadn’t been for less than two thousand words from the beginning of the title to now, this chapter would have ended at the previous sentence.
That’s a pity~
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
As for Zordon Nightcrawler's thoughts at this moment, it is actually easy to guess. To put it simply, he is afraid that this matter is fraudulent.
After all, the pie given by Little Thorny Wolf was a bit too big, so big that even if there were hundreds of swordsmen hidden in it, it would be more than enough.
Zordon was worried that in the middle of exploring the ruins or on the way back after everyone had finished their work, the kid in front of him would smash a cup, and the thugs would immediately rush up and cut him into pulp, killing people and stealing goods.
“Oh, let’s put it this way.”
As if seeing Zordon’s hesitation, Little Spiny Wolf rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly and said with a smile: “Actually, Little Thorny Wolf 'It's not my real name. You've probably noticed this, right?"
Zordon nodded, but he had expected this. After all, in the human race, no matter what, No matter how weird the name is, there is almost never a curious combination like 'little thorny wolf'.
People who knew the truth, such as Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Dabbs and Colonel Mojin, looked at Little Thorn Wolf with interest, wondering what this guy with that name in the game wanted to say. What. By the way, Lucie Youke, whose knowledge is a mystery, also seems to know about the Little Thorn Wolf and Joban Studio, but she doesn't care about it and just keeps repeating "Take Mika and Christina" The nuts in front of me returned a handful of shells a few minutes later.
"Well, how should I put it..."
Little Thorny Wolf scratched his cheek, showed an unspeakable expression, and said carefully: "I His origin should be considered to be the kind of person who... to some extent would be considered 'noble' by many people. Since I was young, my every move has been watched by many people, so I often feel restrained, so every once in a while, I will come out to relax my body and mind."
Zordon Nightcrawler narrowed his eyes slightly. eyes closed: "You mean..."
"I mean, I don't have a lot of time to breathe freely, and in that precious time, I want to be able to please myself as much as possible without causing trouble for other people."
Little Spiny Wolf smiled shyly and said while rubbing the tip of his nose: "You can rest assured that the people I can find here are all officially registered mercenaries and adventurers, although their nature may be slightly different. Too similar, but still relatively safe and reliable. As for the employment fee...let's put it this way, even if you don't give me a single gold coin, as long as you allow me to follow you on the adventure, those people will come to protect me, so you don't need to think that the association owes me a favor or anything. After all, calculate it carefully. If it comes down, I will still make a profit.”
Obviously, Little Thorn Wolf lied on a large scale. Those ambiguous financial backgrounds sounded bluffing, but Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and others were very good at it. Know that those things don't even exist.
But they have no doubt that Little Thorn Wolf will definitely be able to gather more than a hundred people to act with them before noon tomorrow. The reason has been mentioned before. As a top-ranked online game studio in China, The foundation of the Viridian Guild can be said to be quite profound. Although it is far from being able to control the situation in a place like the Innocence Realm, the deployment of manpower and resources at this level is more than enough.
There is another point, that is, based on the judgment of Mo Tan, a mature and experienced dramatist, although what Little Thorny Wolf just said is not very true, in view of the latter's natural performance in this lie, , Mo Tan felt that either this professional player had expert-level acting skills, or that although Little Thorn Wolf was indeed lying, he had similar experiences in other places, so he was able to get into the drama so deeply.
Just like Cole who confessed his love to a certain housekeeper at Keyworth Manor not long ago, he was lying with very true words.
But these had little to do with Mo Tan, so he just thought about it for a while and stopped thinking about it.
However, Zordon, who did not have a player perspective and did not know the details of Little Thorny Wolf, nodded after a brief pause and said seriously: "Okay, if this is the case, please invite Little Thorny Wolf. Sir, thank you for your trouble, but if something unexpected happens during the process, the Pension Archaeologists Association will not give you a penny less. As for the price of one-fifth of the market price... thank you for your generosity." br>
That’s right, Zordon was finally moved by Little Thorn Wolf’s proposal that was both emotional and rational, and most importantly, could significantly reduce the budget. On the one hand, he didn’t feel that he was facing This young man was lying to himself. On the other hand, Zordon was not afraid even if Little Thorny Wolf was deceiving him.
Unless Little Thorny Wolf can find a legendary master to assassinate Zordon, even if he has other intentions, he will not be able to do anything to the secretive president of the Golden City Branch of the Archaeologists Association.
To sum up, since there is no need for the Archaeologists Association to provide many people this time, it is better to sell Little Thorny Wolf as a favor. If there is any trouble in the process, the soldiers will come to cover it up. .
"I should be the one thanking you for your generosity."
The little Thorny Wolf breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and saluted Zordon.
As he is very experienced in related fields, he knows very well that he should have a stable follow-up task this time.
Zordon then turned to the smiling Kasena, nodded under the latter's hopeful gaze, and said with a smile: "In this case, the beautiful girl mercenary group will also come together, although I I still don’t agree with dedicating a group of people to find a way to break the curse during the exploration process, but since Mr. Little Spiny Wolf has provided enough manpower, it would be a good thing to help the clan leader of the kobold community break the curse.”
"Thanks, Uncle Zordon."
Kasena bowed her hand to Zordon, then turned to the little Thorn Wolf and winked: "And you, little brother."
Zordon and Little Thornywolf, who were called 'Uncle' and 'Little Brother' respectively, both showed a somewhat forced smile.
Then...
"Since there are so many people, do you want to consider letting me bring a few juniors in to see the world?"
The person in charge who left the Elf Forest to carry out the procurement mission this time, Hiran's immediate boss, a middle-aged elf with peak epic power, and Zordon Nightwalker's good friend Fluorite Dongxue opened the door and smiled. Yingying walked in, and a dazed Zilan followed behind him.
"You guy..."
Zordon was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his friend helplessly: "When did you come? How long have you been hearing about it?"
Yingshi grinned and joked: "It's been a while, how about it, President, would you like to think about it?"
"It's the branch president."
Zordon first corrected him seriously, then crossed his arms and said to Fluorite: "Of course I welcome you as a strong player to join me, but... won't it be too troublesome for you?"
< br>"It's okay, the main reason is that this kid wants to see the world."
Yingshi patted Hiran next to him, and at the same time gave Zordon a hidden look.
The general meaning is: This thing is quite strange. I am the only one following you, so if there is an accident, I will be taken care of.
The latter immediately understood and immediately included Fluorite and Hiran in his decision.
The latter, who should have been ecstatic about this, floated to Ji Xiaoge's side as if sleepwalking, and asked in a low voice with a broken face: "So, you just used a little trick to get rid of the matriarch. ?”
“Hmm!”
“What’s so awesome about it?”
“It’s a little trick, a little trick~”
“Tell me about it. , I look so retarded!”
"Well, okay, you stand firm."
"Stand still, you say."
"Seduction!"
"Beauty trap!"
< br>“Beautiful dog trick!”
Ji Xiaoge, Mika and Lucie said in unison.
