Hearing the words of the player in front of him, Barrett took a slight look at their outfits, and then combined with the messages he saw on the forum, he understood the source of this misunderstanding.

As it stands, the vast majority of players have a hard time in the game. Just like the few people in front of you, the equipment on their bodies uses the most basic items given by the system when they first entered the game. What's more, there are still very visible scars on these equipment. Although these scars are not enough to affect the use, even the players who need to save this bit of maintenance costs can see at a glance.

At the same time, the situation of these people in front of us is not an isolated case, but a common situation for players who choose the adventure path. Their own low strength leads to the inability to complete slightly challenging tasks, and a large number of mission failures and deaths make their strength improve slowly. This has left many players in an endless loop. In the end, you will either consume the resurrection opportunity and wait until the next generation, or you will only be able to fool around at a low level like the one in front of you.

And players like the one in front of them, although they can't be said to have endured the eyes of the aborigines in the game. But like the aboriginal adventurers at the bottom of the pack, it's not uncommon to be choked with cold words once in a while. They never imagined that a player would be able to treat the natives with almost deference.

Barrett, who had a general understanding of the other party's thoughts, stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty seat on the edge of the table: "If you don't mind if you have a side, I sit down and talk!" ”

"Of course! Of course not! The bearded player said hurriedly.

Barrett, who was sitting with a wine glass in hand, looked at the people in front of him and said, "Are you curious about Mr. Doug's attitude towards me just now?" ”

"It's not just Mr. Doug!" A female player with bangs cut on the side suddenly interjected, "When you came in, there was also a noticeable change among those aboriginal adventurers. Their attitude towards you seems to be quite complicated, too! ”

"What's this? If you work hard, you can be as lucky as I am. Barrett, who had put down his wine glass, turned his head and swept his gaze over the players in front of him.

Then the bearded player was not calm: "You said we can be like you." ”

"I mean, if you work hard. If you're lucky, you'll be able to do the same with me. Speaking of this, Barrett nodded, "Of course, if you want to have such a result, you need both hard work and luck. But even if you're unlucky, you can change your current situation a little. ”

When the female player with bangs heard this, she was immediately laughed at angrily: "Work hard? How do you know we haven't made an effort! ”

"That can only say that you are working in the wrong direction!" Barrett held out his finger and shook it. And the players in front of them didn't actually raise any protest against Barrett's arrogant approach. Apparently it was because of what they had seen before that they considered Barrett to be an expert in the field.

You must know that the background of the era in which the players live makes them not have the same concept of dignity and inferiority as the aborigines in the game. Therefore, the interaction between players, the other party will not have any awe because of your strength in the game. To them, it was nothing more than an illusory dream.

But on the other hand. People in modern society tend to respect authority. And Barrett's previous performance has confirmed that the players in front of him have at least some experience in this area that ordinary players do not have. That's why they're willing to sit here. The most important factor in having a conversation with Barrett, a stranger, was the desire to dig some useful information out of his mouth so that they could have a better path ahead.

The bearded player frowned thoughtfully, "Something wrong in the direction of your efforts?" ”

"I think if that's right, there must be other players left over from the first generation in this hall!" Speaking of this, Barrett turned his head to look at the hall, "Since they have survived until now. Naturally, some of them will have a lot of mature experience. Communicate with them more. It can save you from taking some detours. ”

"It's not like you didn't say it, those guys can hide the secrets they know." Speaking of this, the female player with bangs immediately became indignant, "You guy won't be like them, saying these unnutritious things in front of us!" ”

Originally, the players gave Barrett a good look just to see what helpful suggestions the other party might make. Now that he thinks Barrett may have come to entertain himself, his attitude has naturally changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

"Yikes! Yikes! I didn't expect to meet a bunch of impatient guys. Barrett pretended to spread his hands helplessly, "Do you like to get straight to the point so much?" And even if you really want to ask something, you should understand the rules! ”

"What rules?" Hearing this, the bearded man had a curious look on his face.

Barrett, who finally took the rhythm of the conversation into his own hands, clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Of course it's an equivalent exchange." If you want to get any useful information, you will have to pay the same price. ”

The female player with bangs immediately glared at Barrett: "A little news says that you have to pay the same price?" Can you still be a player like that? ”

"What does it have to do with whether it's a player or not? Is it true that you don't pay credits for dining in reality? Barrett asked rhetorically with a sneer.

The female gamer who heard this said angrily, "How can this be the same? Obviously one is a game. The other is reality. ”

"It's really the difference between a game and reality. However, once the credits can be redeemed, the line between the two naturally becomes blurred. Speaking of this, Barrett pretended to be proud, "You haven't found a really useful guide or guide on the forum!" There are so many people who are obviously good teachers, why don't people tell the whole story? Haven't you ever thought about that? ”

The bearded man who heard this was a little thoughtful, and then asked uncertainly, "You mean they earn credits this way?" ”

"That's how it should be. First release some of the non-essential content to attract the attention of ordinary players. Then the terms of the deal are put forward after someone comes to the door to ask. Anyway, if you conclude a contract or something, the intelligent system can be responsible for it. With such restrictions, I am not afraid of others acting as second-hand traffickers in the network. Barrett stretched as he spoke. The development of technology has really brought a lot of convenience, hasn't it? ”

"Does it have to be like this? Isn't it right that players should help each other? The female player with bangs is still puffing and puffing.

Hearing this, Barrett stood up directly, and then bent down to stare at the female player: "Have you ever thought about earning credits from the game and using them in reality?" If so, please retract that sentence. ”

"What kind of attitude do you have!" The female player shouted as soon as she saw Barrett's change.

"It's not my attitude, it's yours?" Barrett said this with a sneering face, "I only see some people take the fruits of other people's labor for granted. It's like a part of the lazy citizens of the old days, who think such things are justified. As everyone knows, it's just his own stinginess and incompetence. ”

"You! You ......" The female player in front of her was almost speechless because of Barrett's choking. The 'flower messengers' on the side all looked at Barrett angrily at this time, and they had the posture of rushing to the crown and being angry.

And Barrett, after seeing the other party's performance, moved his wrist indifferently: "You should know why that Mr. Doug has a different attitude towards me. So just a few of you. If you do, you won't be able to cause me any trouble! ”

"So what does it cost me to get useful information from you?" At this time of tension. The bearded man, who was originally touching his chin and thinking about it, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Barrett smiled with satisfaction: "There are still people in this world who understand. However, the path I have traveled is not universal, and I am afraid that it will not help you much. So give a free one some broad pointers now! It's a gift from the player's forerunner to the juniors. ”

"It's not that you guys are still kind people!" The female player with Qi bangs immediately made a sarcastic speech at this time.

"I'll take it as your thanks!" Barrett continued, "First communicate with first-generation players who are the same identity as you, because they are in the same environment so their experience will be helpful to you. Don't be too stingy in this regard. Paying now is equivalent to an upfront investment in doing business. If you want to make money, you have to invest first. Second, it is natural to have a good relationship with the aborigines. It's like there are a few aboriginal adventurers in this hall who are quite skilled. Find a way to get them to teach you how to fight. After all, in this game with a high degree of freedom, combat is a test thing. ”

"Then I have to ask inch by inch, can you recommend us candidates for these two aspects?" The bearded player suddenly added an honorific to his words.

Hearing this, Barrett twisted his head, then stretched out his finger and pointed at the man who was busy in front of and behind the counter: "The player who works in the union is a good choice. I've seen it before, and I'm kind of a motivated player. I think his experience should be helpful to you. As for the aborigines, he is more familiar with the aborigines here than I am. It's better for you to go straight to him. ”

After selling the players he had previously had a relationship with in the restaurant, Barrett got up and left the table where the players were. Coming to the counter with a wine glass, he grabbed a handful of coins from his waist bag: "Mr. Doug, settle the bill!" ”

Old Doug who heard this. subconsciously glared at the players who had just been in contact with Barrett before. Obviously, the aboriginal blamed Barrett for leaving on the players - after all, Barrett had said that he had come here for a vacation, and now he chose to leave in such a hurry, naturally because someone had ruined his interest.

You must know that Barrett is not only a generous funder, but also a talent that the union is trying to woo. Now that this well-won opportunity to bring the two sides closer together has been ruined, it is no wonder that old Doug, who is in charge of the work today, is indignant -- and this will obviously affect his interests.

And those players were still confused by Barrett's previous remarks, and they didn't even notice that old Doug on the counter had a bad impression of them. Although this aboriginal is not good because of his own identity, he directly came forward to make things difficult. But in his position, even if it is within the scope of the rules and regulations, it is very easy to find trouble for these fledgling adventurers in front of him.

Barrett, who had paid for his drinks, soon left the mercenary union. And one of those people in the hall only thought that he and the few players in front of him did not speculate, which affected the mood, so he left early. And Barrett, who walked outside the door, shook his head and sighed: "Even if it is the first experience, there are still those guys who are looking forward to getting something for nothing!" ”

After arriving at the Merchant House, Anvil, who was basking in the sun in the courtyard, waved his hand at Barrett: "What about the results of inspecting those new players?" Did you find any good seedlings in it? ”

"Don't use the word inspection! It made me feel like some big guy. Barrett, who was already in a bad mood, glared at the dwarf angrily.

Seeing Barrett's expression, Anvil sat up from the back chair: "Look at the captain, you are like this, obviously you haven't found any good seedlings." ”

"Don't say anything good about seedlings. Even if you have brains and are not motivated at all! Speaking of this, Barrett sighed, "It seems that the day when we players want to have an impact on this world will have to wait a very long time!" ”

"Isn't that obvious? Captain, you are so smart, why can't you see through this point! Speaking of this, the anvil touched his beard, "Those new players basically died ten lives early!" What the reality of this group was like in the past, I don't think you should know it without me summing it up. Do you think that a failure that is not too heavy can make a difference? ”

"Isn't it true that when they encounter setbacks, no one can learn a little bit like me?" Barrett sighed helplessly. (To be continued......)
