Chapter 222: Martial Arts Competition
Zhao Nan had been staying in the City Lord Fort of Tingfeng City for ten days. In the past ten days, he has not gone anywhere, almost eating and sleeping in the study, carrying out an almost masochistic abrasive production. The speed at which he crafted a magic tool became faster and faster, and the magic energy increased.
It seems that only through this concentration can he forget what happened ten days agoβten days ago, he had a demon seed, and then discovered some kind of truth. Truths that cannot be shared, or even acted upon. The only thing he could do was to silently guess.
But Zhao Nan didn't think like he had no clue. Although he knew that he had probably stepped into the goal he had been working on, maybe if he went a little further, he would be able to understand everything.
But when faced with this kind of opportunity, Zhao Nan had to admit that he instinctively felt that it was not the right time. There are still a lot of things in this game Shijie that have not been opened, and it seems that the system does not want players to solve all the mysteries so quickly. Hence the existence of managers.
Zhao Nan has a feeling that perhaps the most correct way to solve all the mysteries is to follow the development of the game step by step...... Maybe the system is also doing something that no one knows, and is essentially guiding all human beings?
The thing about Fang Mu?
Because of such an incredible idea, Zhao Nan didn't dare to think about it, and he was forcing himself not to think about it. Therefore, he was busy making magic tools, and he felt a little like he couldn't stop. And because of this focus, his rank as a junior scholar has risen faster than he imagined.
Therefore, in his backpack, there are already many magic tools that have been subconsciously named 'Player Zhao Nan'.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
As preoccupied with Zhao Nan at this time, Dongyuan City was also doing a big thing with full attention - for the sake of the improvement of Dongyuan City's city level, he was trying to improve his level. This is because the level 40 map has not yet been opened. The experience gained from farming alone can only be enough to meet the player's level 33 at most.
If you want to level up, you can only rely on doing tasks...... However, with such a large population, it is clear that the tasks are not enough to be distributed. Even some small tasks that are usually ignored can also allow players to fight for it at this time. I don't know when this dispute began.,It's just that at the beginning, it was just a frenzy to do tasks in order to be able to improve the level.,And then there was friction by chance.γ
Maybe it's because of the individual's different personalities. Either because of the surprise of the original region, or something else, this friction gradually escalated. Originally, the local players in Dongyuan City were in their own way, and the players who migrated from other cities also showed signs of grouping after a period of running-in. These people from all over the world seem to be showing signs of huddles.
This is the commonality of human society, even as Ximenyu in a city, there is no way to stop it. Although he felt that a harmonious cooperation of the player city. It's 10,000 times better than a city with many guilds and disunity.
However, as the real speaker of the 'Purgatory' Guild, the largest guild in Dongyuan City, his identity was a little embarrassing. Unless he can be convincing and has nothing to do with the 'Purgatory' guild, the position he can use to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides becomes very weak.
The problem is that Ximen Yu can't really disband the 'Purgatory' guild and withdraw from the guild joint meeting in Dongyuan City, so he can only crawl carefully in the cracks.
Ximenyu felt that even if he was already climbing. However, there will still be obstacles ahead, and they are still obstacles that are a headache.
As the friction between players grows. One of the things that Ximenyu didn't want to see happened the most. Because of the battle for monsters, the two players have a fight...... It's a normal rush during this time.,Anyway, even the little cock can grow back after being cut.,So a dozen PKs.,Players are usually more ruthless.γ The problem is that this is in the middle of a firefight. However, it was the first time that a player had died.
What's even more troublesome is that in this fight, it is very coincidental, one of them is a local player in Dongyuan City, and the other side is a player who has migrated from another city. And the side that dies is a player from an alien city.
Although the murderer regretted it at the time, he was just a mistake. But the friend of the person who was killed, his relatives quit, and he had to seek justice. And the murderer was still harassed by the other party after apologizing and saying that he was reparable, and he was still assassinated at home because he thought of guilt, but he didn't expect that he was still assassinated at home.
The killer has been caught and put in prison as soon as possible. After asking, I found out that this was the younger brother of the deceased, who had come for revenge. It was originally a very simple matter, the elder brother was killed, the younger brother took revenge and killed someone, and then went to prison.
This is how it should have ended. But unexpectedly, it has become the fuse for the outbreak of contradictions between players in Dongyuan City and players from other cities.
Players in Dongyuan City believe that the best way to prevent this kind of sad thing from happening in the future is to have priority when completing the task. Players from outside the city think that this idea of local players is a hooligan behavior that occupies the pit and does not shit, which means that tens of millions of people are not convinced.
"If you don't accept it, let's distinguish it!"
I don't know that the emotional local player blatantly spent a huge amount of money on the intelligence newspaper and made a domineering declaration.
A declaration is a declaration of war.
Between the local players and the foreign players, they completely ignored the safe place of the Bloodthirsty Field in an instant, and engaged in all kinds of firefights outside the city. It started with small guilds, and then slowly spread to large guilds. Sneak attacks, assassinations, and overt killings are out of control. Even in the city, you can see the fight between the two sides. Even though you can't kill people in the safe zone, and no one wants to stay in that horrible prison, humiliation can still be done.
Therefore, the situation of all people working together in order to upgrade the city has dramatically evolved into a situation where local and foreign players are at loggerheads in less than half a month.
"These idiots, can't they see that there are actually people behind the scenes who are pushing these things to happen?"
The vice president of the 'Purgatory' guild, Brother Wolf slapped the coffee table in the city lord's castle hard at this time. It's just the anger he unleashed after receiving a report on the recent death toll from his young master.
Ximenyu poured himself a cup of cold black tea for himself. took a sip and said helplessly: "Whether you know it or not, you're almost stuck in it now, and you can't pull it out anyway." After all, the number of deaths is somewhat more than the bottom line to bear. Blood can drive people crazy, that's probably the case. β
Brother Wolf still said angrily: "But young master, the situation in Dongyuan City was originally very good. It seems that it can hit the third-level city again, but if it goes on like this, it is not a third-level city. When the next monster attacks the city, whether these people can cooperate well is a question! β
"That's a problem, indeed." Ximenyu sighed.
He hadn't stepped out of the City Lord's Fort in a few days. In fact, when the first deceased appeared, he had already intervened to mediate. Originally, the matter should have ended at that time, but I didn't expect that the good scene of my brother's revenge happened that night, and then it became more and more intense, if Ximenyu couldn't see that someone was secretly fueling the trouble. That's so sorry for the education he received for so many years.
"In fact, not only Dongyuan City, but other cities also have such problems to some extent." Ximenyu looked at Brother Wolf and said, "This kind of thing itself has already been predicted at the time of the 'Fusion Meeting'. β
"But has there been a solution?"
Ximenyu shook his head and said, "What do you think those politicians who have passed pacifism can say in addition to using violence and negotiation?" β
"You can't sit still." Brother Wolf sighed and said, "Even if you use violence, even if you let the people of 'Purgatory' lurk plus all the city guards. It is also impossible to suppress all players. Also, negotiate if it works. Guild joint meetings will not be held like these days, not to mention held, and even the attendance rate is close to zero. β
"Then look away a little." Ximen Yu suddenly smiled, and then from his desk, he took out a document and handed it to Brother Wolf.
Brother Wolf frowned. There was a strange look on his axe-like cheeks.
"The first martial arts competition in Dongyuan City...... Yes? β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Tournament?"
In the room of the 'Shijie's End' guild, the backbone of the guild sat around a small coffee table, looking at a poster that occupied one-third of the coffee table's area.
"What is this?" Gao Mingyang clasped his hands, tilted his head sideways, and kept looking at the thing that Jiang Lun tore back from the street.
"Tournament! Held by the city lord of Dongyuan City. Jiang Xian said as a matter of course: "In the morning, it has been posted all over the city." But then again, the rewards of this tournament are super rich! Ximen Yu has really made a lot of money. The top 20 players receive a piece of gold quality. And it is enchanted four times. The top 10 will also be rewarded with an additional hidden class transfer scroll. β
Gao Mingyang touched his beard and said, "Ximenyu, this little white face, is the oil and water stopped......"
"Hey, Mingyang, let Ximen Xiaowu hear you say this, won't he chop you up?" Xu Feng squeezed his eyebrows at this time.
"Go, go, I'm going to be scared of that?"
"Then I'll go talk to her."
", die, look at the move!"
Gao Xiang immediately put his hand between the two of them and shouted, "I haven't fought enough in the past few days, haven't I?" Are you elementary school students? β
"Okay, don't make a fuss." Xu Fei frowned and said, "Let's look at the purpose of this thing." β
"Probably to defuse this conflict."
It was Xiongyu who spoke. During this time, he and Yanan have been in the guild and have gradually become familiar with everyone. The little couple is even one of the highest-ranking and strongest people in the guild, and they are very respected.
Gao Xiang nodded and said, "I think so too." β
Gao Mingyang said disdainfully: "Do you have it?" This kind of thing? β
Jiang Lun said with a smile: "It is impossible to resolve the contradictions in front of you. But it's okay to ease things up a bit. Let's take a look at the specific conditions of the competition. As long as the player participates in the registration and gets the ranking, they can get a position in the City Guard. I just went to 'Purgatory' where to visit, and I heard that Ximenyu was really generous this time, and the city defense army gave 50,000 places to come out. The top 100 in the tournament can also get a higher position, even the commander of the city defense army. And the registration conditions are also specially attached, starting from the registration, the direct end of the competition, players are not allowed to fight privately, violating this, even if you get the first place, you will not get a prize. β
"Commander!"
Everyone present couldn't help but take a hard breath. There are so many advantages to the position of commander of the city defense army, and most of the people present have such a position, or a similar position, and they naturally understand it very clearly - of course, it is only a position that belongs to the city of Tingfeng.
This kind of good thing that can automatically increase experience while sitting.,Killing monsters has an attack power bonus.,Anyone wants it.γ
"That's not right, if 50,000 positions are given, won't the monsters suddenly reduce the number of aborigines to participate in the war when they attack the city?" Xu Feng said suspiciously.
"Stupid, isn't it okay to take back the player's position during the siege and then recruit the aborigines in advance? It's not like I don't know the time for monsters to attack the city. β
Xu Feng smiled: "It turns out that you also have a time to use your brain!" β
"Why do I feel so upset?" Gao Mingyang looked at Xu Feng suspiciously.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm complimenting you." Xu Feng said with a smile.
Xu Fei shook his head, this is a pair of living treasures, he has seen them for many years, so he doesn't feel it at all at this time, and said softly: "What do you think?" Will we participate in this competition? β
At this time, everyone looked at Gao Mingyang at the same time.
Elder Gao frowned deeply at this time and said, "To be honest, those rewards are really not too attractive to us. β
Xu Feng couldn't help but die again: "That's because you can get equipment that has been enchanted four times at any time!" β
Gao Mingyang said with a sad and indignant face: "Spit out the equipment on your body to me!" β
Gao Xiang shook his head, no longer paying attention to the two who died, looked at Xiongyou and Yanan and said, "Xiaoyou, are you participating?" β
If you want to talk about strength, in addition to Zhao Nan and his family who are on vacation in Tingfeng City (the reason why Zhao Nan left Dongyuan City and returned to Tingfeng City is to go on vacation), and the little Lori master and servant whose strength is not clear, it seems that there are Xiongyou. If he were to compete, he would probably be able to get a good name.
"Participate." Xiongyou laughed.
Xu Fei said curiously: "Weishenme? β
Xiongyou thought for a moment and said, "If we can get a few hidden class scrolls, I can give them to the rest of the guild, so that our guild will become stronger." β
Xu Fei nodded thoughtfully and said softly, "Yes, our guild." β
Gao Mingyang laughed loudly: "Since this is the case, then let's participate!" β
"That's right...... Don't you inform Brother Nan of this matter? Yanan said suddenly.
Gao Mingyang waved his hand and said, "I don't want to compete with that kind of pervert on the same stage...... Besides, with his character, he probably can't look down on this kind of competition. β
"Perverted...... It's a frustrating and apt adjective. (To be continued......)
