Chapter 327: Division of Killing and Cooperation
The two players talked with the owner of the Wild Bee Tavern for a while, and found that the other party could not provide useful information, so they left a little disappointed.
Wang Zhifan immediately stepped forward and wanted to sell the equipment for money, but to his surprise, the tavern owner refused to accept the equipment and suggested that he deal with the loot elsewhere.
“Young man, I am already very old and I no longer want to get involved in the fighting and killing outside. You should go to the weapon shop and ask... There are more and more adventurers in recent years. Their business is getting bigger and bigger, including recycling high-quality second-hand equipment."
The blond old man suggested to Wang Zhifan.
"Thank you, I'll go take a look."
Wang Zhifan nodded and returned to the wine table.
He was thinking about whether to go outside now to deal with some unwanted equipment, but in the end he decided to wait for his mercenary partner Jack to wake up first, because he was a local and would know better than him no matter what he did. It can greatly reduce the possibility of him being tricked by NPCs.
While Jack was still awake, he carefully searched his personal space to find out which equipment there could be disposed of first. After all, his equipment inventory was richer than that of most players. , not only the quantity is large, but the quality is also terrifyingly high.
“All the fine-grade equipment in the portable space can be sold. I definitely won’t be able to use them now... Most of the rare-grade equipment can also be sold... I estimate that so many things can be sold for a lot. The price..."
Before he had finished thinking about this matter, Wang Zhifan noticed that two men with unkind expressions suddenly walked over to his table. One of them was the man in mountaineering clothes who had invited him to cooperate before, and the other was a full-faced man. The middle-aged man with a fleshy face was spinning a red-handled revolver with his fingers. He looked like he might give a peanut to anyone he disliked at any time.
"Boy, what is your profession? Why don't you join us? Do you look down on us?"
As soon as the middle-aged player came over, he stared at the sitting Wang Zhifan with disdain. The mountaineering suit player took advantage of him to attract Wang Zhifan's attention and quietly walked to the other side, forming a double-team on Wang Zhifan.
But Wang Zhifan himself seemed to be indifferent to this unfavorable situation. He was still sitting on the chair, looking up at the visitor with a calm expression, and then replied in a cold tone:
"I don't want to join, I just don't want to join...If you don't want to die, get out now."
He didn't speak loudly, but it was very obvious that he didn't take the two people surrounding him seriously. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the two players who were looking for trouble became furious.
"You're crazy, boy! If you say another crazy word, I'll be dead..."
The middle-aged player who saw the revolver spinning in his hand was just about to point the gun at Wang Zhifan. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell to the ground without any warning, making a heavy sound.
Similarly, there was a man in mountaineering clothes on the other side who wanted to block Wang Zhifan's dodge space. He also fell heavily to the ground at the same time as the middle-aged man, and the back of his head came into close contact with the stone floor of the pub. It was as if he had died suddenly of a severe heart attack.
“What happened?”
The mercenary Jack, who was sleeping on the table opposite Wang Zhifan, was suddenly awakened by the movement and stood up suddenly. It may be that he woke up when someone came and said harsh words just now, but an unexpected situation occurred that made him The alcoholism completely dissipated.
“I’m not sure. I just said a few words to them and they fell down.”
Wang Zhifan responded with a shrug, as if the two players beside him had died suddenly. It has nothing to do with him at all.
However, this kind of movement could not end like this. Almost at the same time as the two people fell, many people also fell down at a table in the corner of the tavern.
The fallen people seemed to want to pull out their weapons and launch long-range attacks at Wang Zhifan, or rush to Wang Zhifan's side. Only three or five players seemed not to understand the situation, and looked at them in shock. Looking at the strange situation around him, he quickly got up and escaped from the tavern.
The owner of the tavern was also confused about the situation at this time. He quickly rushed out of the counter and ran to the fallen guests to check, and found that all the people who fell on the ground had turned into cold and stiff corpses in such a short period of time. It is simply difficult to explain rationally.
The surrounding NPC drinkers also couldn't understand this strange thing. Some people began to gather together and talk about it, while others felt that the tavern was no longer safe and ran away immediately.
“Young man, did you kill these people?”
Instinctively, I felt that it was the guest Wang Zhifan who was responsible, because the sudden situation just now was caused by two of the deceased and After he had a verbal conflict, the tavern owner asked Wang Zhifan with inexplicable eyes, hoping to find some clues from him.
Wang Zhifan naturally would not admit it. He replied very bachelorly:
"I just said a few words to them, why do you doubt me? Maybe they have been cursed."
"But you don't look surprised at all."
The tavern owner immediately pointed out Wang Zhifan's flaws, because if the matter really had nothing to do with him, he should have shown some shock. After all, it happened so suddenly.
In this regard, Wang Zhifan was still a bachelor and said in a nonchalant manner:
"Why should I be surprised? I have encountered many more weird things than this! Boss, don't Just wrong a good person!”
After Wang Zhifan finished speaking, he turned to look at his still confused mercenary partner Jack, and suggested to him:
"Jack, pay the bill quickly, we should find a place to sell the equipment."
< br>After hearing this, Jack was immediately freed from his confused thoughts. He dug into his pocket and took out a silver coin and handed it to the tavern owner. Then he discovered that amidst the attention and discussion of the people around him, Wang Zhifan was openly searching the people on the ground. human corpse.
"What are you looking at! Didn't you see that I was doing a full body examination on them!"
While quickly removing the rings, necklaces, wristbands, belts and other equipment from the deceased, Wang Zhifan While warning those who dared to get their hands on his trophies, most of the bystanders in the tavern immediately ran away. It can be said that they were frightened by his weird killing method just now.
In this situation, the tavern owner didn't know that it was definitely Wang Zhifan who had done it before, but his reverence for life made him say nothing more and watched Wang Zhifan go out and leave after scraping the corpses on the ground. At the same time, at the corner of the street outside the tavern, several players who had survived and escaped were hiding in the dark to observe Wang Zhifan swaggering out and leaving, and did not dare to interfere in any way with his behavior of collecting corpses.
“Look! It was definitely him who killed him! I just don’t know what method he used! We really encountered some incredible people in this dungeon. We must not fight with those few If you conflict with him like an unlucky man, you will definitely end up with exactly the same fate!"
One survivor lowered his voice and said to others, expressing his deep fear of the player Wang Zhifan.
"I just disagreed with Lao Huang and the others looking for trouble! Who would have thought that they would actually kick the iron plate! The person was gone immediately... But fortunately, that person seemed to only kill those who wanted to attack him. We I didn’t react at the time but saved my life..."
Another female player also echoed with a frightened look. In her opinion, they were all at risk of being wiped out in an instant, but fortunately their opponents were merciful and left a way to survive for players who were not cruel enough.
"Old Huang and the others deserve it! I have killed so many innocent players before! If I hadn't been a priest and useful to them, I would have been killed by them long ago!"
Another male The player's face showed a bit of schadenfreude at this time. He first belittled several leading players who had become corpses, and then thought of a more critical question:
"You said, this dungeon has just started and very few of us have died. How should we complete the subsequent tasks? I don't believe that just a few of us can defeat the Demon King."
This It was a very real problem, and in an instant it made the surrounding players who were rejoicing in the aftermath of the disaster feel pressured. They knew that they would not be able to survive this dungeon unless they came up with a solution.
"Either go to a powerful NPC to cooperate, or go to the person just now... There is also a possibility that there are players in other places, and we can search and search."
The player who spoke first thought for a while He replied, looking over the others.
"Try not to look for that person... He may not need us. If he finds us and takes action directly, we may not have the good luck just now."
Female player He said with a worried tone.
“Hey...this is all about dungeons. How come some people are so strong...so strong that we can’t even understand his attack methods...This extraordinary game is really too unbalanced...We Ordinary players have no sense of security at all..."
Male players have been manipulated by Wang Zhifan into complaining about the game itself.
While these people were lamenting the aftermath because Wang Zhifan casually killed their companions, Wang Zhifan himself had already come out of an equipment store on the street with his mercenary companion Jack, and they had an extra heavy weapon in their hands. money bag.
"Jack, I'll give you this money. I really didn't expect you to be so good at selling equipment. Without your help, I'm afraid I would have been defrauded of more than half of my money by this store."
< br>At this moment, Wang Zhifan took out a handful of silver coins from his wallet and handed it to Jack, while thanking him.
“Boss, it’s not that I know how to sell equipment, but the quality of your equipment is very good and totally worth the price!”
Jack took the money Wang Zhifan gave him generously, and then did not forget to praise the things Wang Zhifan had just sold.
Many of them are good equipment for him, but it is a pity that he is just a mercenary hired by Wang Zhifan. If he was really a good friend with him, he would ask Wang Zhifan to leave the best products to him.
"Okay, now money is not an issue. I hope you will help me collect all the information about the Demon King next. I want to find his exact location as soon as possible and then challenge him."
The reason why Wang Zhifan gave it so happily Jack's money is just to maintain his loyalty, and then use this local to continue to shine. The success of selling the equipment just now proves that his idea is correct. An outsider messing around is not as good as a familiar native doing it smoothly. , which can save him a lot of time.
“Boss, if you still want me to be responsible for intelligence collection, the money is not enough.”
Jack answered after hearing this, thinking that Wang Zhifan was going to give him a heavier task. For the mercenary industry, this requires a clear settlement. Not only does it involve participating in battles, but it also requires effort to collect intelligence. The average price does not allow for such complicated business.
"Jack, I don't need you to participate in any battles. You just need to help me collect information about the Demon King every day. All the rewards are the same as what we originally negotiated. You will not be short of a copper coin, and If you do a good job, I will also give you more money so that you can save enough funds to elope with your Miss Alice as soon as possible..."
< br>Wang Zhifan knew as soon as he heard that Jack didn't understand what he meant. He thought he needed his fighting ability. In fact, Wang Zhifan felt that this guy's fighting ability was of no necessary significance to him, so he might as well let him use his strength. He used the local people's advantages to collect intelligence with all his strength, and then Wang Zhifan relied on his own combat power advantage to test the authenticity of the intelligence.
"Really? Boss, are you sure that one person can deal with the opponents outside? Those adventurers are not honest civilians. They will use all bad means to seize the wealth that appears in front of them, including those who have already With the master's wealth"
When Jack said this, he glanced at Wang Zhifan. He doesn’t think so yet, but since Wang Zhifan sold a lot of excellent equipment without blinking an eye just now, he feels more and more that what Wang Zhifan is wearing must be good things, and an adventurer with good equipment acting alone may be regarded as a hunter by someone who is interested. Target, if that person still acts alone outside the town, the possibility of being targeted becomes infinite.
"It's okay, Jack. You just need to help me find out the information about the Demon King. I will do everything else myself. This is a perfect division of labor."
Wang Zhifan ended the topic very simply. , directly transferred to the intelligence collection and guidance:
“First of all, I need to know the location information of the three possible hiding places of the Demon King that you told me while drinking, that is, the tower, the lake, and the underground City, I'm sure Let’s go to these places first to see what happens.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jack’s eyes showed an undisguised disapproval, and he just heard him say:
"Boss, these places are famously dangerous places on the mainland. Even if you go to them, you will encounter difficult enemies. Even if you arrive after hard work, you will find that the entrance has already been occupied by people from major nobles or people. High-level mercenary group occupied!
You can't get permission to enter without enough connections. Those greedy guys have already firmly controlled this kind of place. They won't let outsiders get their hands on any treasures inside. I think it's better to visit some more remote and secret places. suitable. ”
