Quadruple split.

Chapter 2283 Article

"Well, there is still some time before the competition, so why not let President Yi talk about the ins and outs of this cooperation with our company. If I remember correctly, our Little Smart Ghost has always been a company with a relatively low-key style. Although the quality of its products is very good, its efforts in publicity have never been great."

Xiao Bingbing smiled at Yinan with her chin propped up like an old friend, and asked in a brisk tone: "So what exactly is the reason that prompted you to join hands with our company to host such a grand competition? To be honest, I don't usually live in City B, and I haven't even heard of the brand Little Smart Ghost. At first, I thought our products were high-end products in a small circle. After careful understanding, I found that although we have high-end quality, the price is so affordable that I can afford it!"

Xiao Xiaobai turned his head and glanced at his partner: "I don't think your words are convincing."

"Sister Xiaobai, please stop making trouble. I am a member of the working class."

Xiao Bingbing raised her head proudly and said seriously, "When I was young, I worked in a courier company. I was so busy day and night that I couldn't make much money. It was normal to work overtime for seven or eight hours a day. If I hadn't married a rich bachelor who had returned from overseas, I might still be working as a receptionist there now."

"Makes sense."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded, then shook her head and corrected him, "But at your age, you can't be a little sister."

Xiao Bingbing: "...Sister Bai, don't be like this."

"Well, actually the reason why I decided to cooperate with your company is very simple."

Yinan, who had been tormented a lot with his friends when Xiao Bingbing worked as a receptionist at the marginalized stronghold in City B, coughed lightly, brought the topic back to the topic, and smiled warmly: "If we continue like this, we may go bankrupt and have nothing to eat."

Xiao Xiaobai: “Oh~”

"I mean it."

Yinan shrugged and said seriously, "Of course, the company's current situation is actually not bad, but as Xiaobing said before, our Little Smart Ghost has been relatively low-key for a long time. In recent years, its popularity has been infinitely close to the level of 'no such person'. If this continues, I'm afraid we will have to go through the bankruptcy liquidation procedures within two years."

Xue Yin smiled and said happily: "Uncle Yi is really good at joking. Let's not talk about anything else. To be able to become the exclusive core sponsor of [Questioning the Crime Debate], our company's situation is more than just 'not bad', it's simply amazing!"

"Ashamed to say that."

Under the deliberate instructions of a certain beauty, Yinan showed a slightly ashamed smile and said seriously: "Only 30% of the funds for organizing this linkage came from our company, and the rest was subsidized by my wife with her dowry. Well... Although the competition can be regarded as a very successful business behavior so far, it actually has little to do with the background of the little clever ghost. So compared with our past, we still hope that everyone can pay more attention to our future."

[Good fellow, if I remember correctly, when Mr. Gu was furious because he didn't want to marry off his daughter, he was only willing to give 'money'. This was clearly an expression of dissatisfaction. And your dowry was to quell the [Atagoyama Tarobo Rebellion] that almost sank Japan, right? You didn't even mention this! ]

Xiao Bingbing complained about her best friend in her heart, and nodded with a smile: "I see, this is how it is. It's really a love that makes others envious."

"Let's stop here and talk about family matters."

Xiao Xiaobai ended the topic at a very precise time and said calmly, "According to my investigation, the number of single men and women has been exploding in recent years. If we continue this topic, it will be difficult for President Yi, who lives an overly happy life, to walk peacefully at night. So let's shift the topic back to the current game. President Yi, do you want to talk about your opinion?"

Inan, who was always on the front line commentating as a 'handsome guy', naturally would not refuse. He said in his warm voice, which was slightly similar to his vest, but had a completely different temperament and emotion: "In my opinion, as the protagonists of the final four matches, the strength of the two teams [Haunted Church] and [Heavy Metal] should not be underestimated. If you neglect to watch the game because they are not as famous as those famous players or clubs, you may miss a lot of exciting content."

"Xue Yin thinks so too."

The star-level idol sitting next to Inan narrowed his eyes slightly and said leisurely in a slightly playful tone: "It's better to say that it's not scientific to have a boring game after the game has reached this point."

Xiao Bingbing also nodded and said seriously, "That's right. First of all, Heavy Metal has proven themselves in previous competitions. Not only are they strong on average and experienced in combat, but they also have two players with special talents, Rune Zhulan and Huo Yanyang. They are definitely a strong dark horse in the team competition."

Xiao Xiaobai spun the pen at a speed that could almost leave an afterimage, and said calmly, "As for the Haunted Church, they are not a dark horse because of the presence of the Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole. But the scary thing about them is that, since they came into our sight, except for Gu Xiaole and Yu Ying, the other three have never made a move, and the information we have is pitifully small."

"If it was a professional club or studio, we should have found a lot of information by now, starting from the moment the group was formed. But the problem is that [Heavy Metal] is not a professional player group."

Xiao Bingbing frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "In this situation, if they can't find any results, the situation may become a bit passive..."

"Well, both players have finished loading, and the game map is being generated. Please wait for a moment."

Xiao Xiaobai glanced down at the screen and said seriously, "Little clever boy, live long and prosper."

Xue Yin's face immediately tightened, and she agreed seriously: "Little clever ghost, live long and prosper."

Xiao Bingbing: "...Why don't I remember this phrase?"

Xiao Xiaobai said proudly, with his hands on his hips, "I added this temporarily. The sponsor is right next to me, so I must perform well."

Yinan: “…”

Northwest Continent, somewhere in the southern part of the Spirit Wilderness

"I've been to this place before. It should be the hunter's travel path in the southern part of the Goblin Wilderness..."

The moment Zhu Lan regained his mobility, he looked around, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "And we have help!"

"Caravans, adventurers, mercenaries."

The healer Signisius, who was also looking around, nodded slightly and said seriously, "A very standard configuration."

Musalo beside him laughed and said happily: "I feel that if nothing unexpected happens, we will be attacked soon."

"Nothing unexpected."

McCay also laughed and reminded, "The system directly issued the task of [Survive the first round of attacks that will arrive in ten minutes], there is no escape."

Although he was already familiar with the other three teammates, Huo Yanyang unconsciously walked to Zhu Lan's side and glanced at the task bar. Hesitantly said: "So [Haunted Church] should be one of the attackers. After all, they are not NPCs. Is it possible that they will not come?"

"No."

Zhu Lan shook his head without hesitation, walked to the nearby 'partner' whose time had stopped, observed him carefully, and answered casually: "Since we have a mission, the other side must also have one. According to past experience, if they do not act within the 'ten minutes' specified by the system, they will most likely be punished. Regardless of whether the price is big or small, with a strong supporter like Sister Xiao Le around, they don't need to take the risk."

Huo Yanyang nodded slightly, stroking the long whip at his waist, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I seem to be a little nervous."

"Haha, it's normal to be nervous. I'm also very nervous right now."

Musalo, who was also an orc in the game, grinned, drew out the big sword behind him, and patted Huo Yanyang's back twice with his empty left hand: "Just don't let nervousness mess up your movements or ruin your mentality."

Huo Yanyang had never participated in such a big competition before. After entering the finals, he was breaking his personal record with every step forward. He swallowed his saliva and said dryly: "I will try my best..."

"The employer should be a fairly large chamber of commerce, but I don't recognize the badge."

Signisius, who was squatting next to a quadrilateral carriage, frowned, rubbed his chin and said, "It doesn't look like it's from the Ankh Market."

McCay shook his head slightly and reminded: "Even if this is really a spirit wilderness, Lao Xi did move bricks in the Anka Market for two months, it doesn't mean that you should recognize other people's badges. The time range is too long." "I know, I just feel a little regretful."

Signisius shrugged, then turned to Zhu Lan, who also served as his staff officer, and asked, "The preparation time is almost over. How are you doing?"

"Judging from their equipment, the escort should be composed of a small mercenary group and three adventurer teams. The five of us are one of the three teams."

Zhu Lan turned to the four teammates behind him and said quickly, "The mercenary group has the largest number of people, but their quality is mixed. There are only three high-level professionals, one of whom is a top-level expert. The other two adventurer teams have high-level professionals, but they are just ordinary high-level professionals. If a monster of Sister Xiaole's level attacks them, I'm afraid they will have a hard time fighting back."

Signisius frowned, and while paying attention to the system time, he suggested at a faster speed: "Stand up, if you want to take advantage of their numerical advantage, you must take the lead."

"Simple, just tell them that someone will attack in ten minutes and ask everyone to be ready for battle."

"and then?"

"If they cooperate, then we will cooperate when the fight breaks out. If they don't cooperate, we'll just find the troublemakers and beat them up. Efficiency comes first."

"it is good!"

"Brother Zhulan——"

A dwarf with a bruised face but a flattering smile trotted after Zhu Lan and said in a low voice, "Calculating the time, the attack you mentioned is probably coming soon."

"Ok?"

Zhu Lan, who had already activated his ability but could only see the team moving forward safely, frowned and casually replied, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing."

The dwarf rubbed his red nose and was silent for about two seconds before asking in a lower voice: "Brothers, I just want to ask you, how did you know such detailed information about the attack? Could it be that..."

"You suspect we were in league with the attackers?"

Zhu Lan sneered and shook his head in disgust, "You think too much."

"Zhu Lan!"

The next moment, along with the system notification sound, Signisius exclaimed: "Ten minutes have passed! Mission accomplished!"

"This……"

Zhu Lan also received a notification that the task was completed. He looked at the system time PM 21:35 and the [Heroic II] buff in the status bar in a daze. His brain short-circuited at that moment.

Kaka-

ka ka ka-

As a result, at this moment, the surrounding ground suddenly cracked with an ominous sound, and under Zhu Lan's astonished gaze, a number of hands made of white bones emerged, waving wildly.

"Damn it!"

With almost no hesitation, Zhu Lan immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced through two bony palms and caused exclamations from his companions.

"What did you see!?"

"Brother Zhulan?"

"There's nothing there..."

"wrong!"

"Undead! They are undead creatures!"

"Damn it, they were right! Enemy attack! It was an enemy attack!"

"Why is there a necromancer here? What on earth are we escorting?!"

"Hehe~"

Accompanied by a pleasant laugh that was out of tune with the chaos, Gu Xiaole appeared in mid-air without warning, holding a delicate five-bone bat fan and bowing to everyone: "I am a humble girl, but I am here to send you off to the west."

"1."

Zhu Lan pulled out a golden mithril arrow from the quiver with his backhand and shouted in a low voice without turning his head.

"3."

Huo Yanyang, who was closest to him, gave another number without hesitation.

"spread!"

Zhu Lan, who had been hit by the "ghost fire" in Gu Xiaole's hand, drew his longbow and aimed at a point about two meters above the slowly falling Onmyoji. After counting silently for a second and a half, he released his right hand without hesitation and shot the [Glorious Arrow] that he had bought at a high price between his fingers into the sky.

"When your thoughts are incoherent, you can't tell 'what second' it is."

Zhu Lan grinned, staring at the slender figure in the air who had just appeared and collided head-on with a ball of flame, screaming and falling to the ground. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat off his face fiercely.

"I knew you would remember this sentence and find a chance to make a fuss about it!"

[Your teammate: Huo Yanyang, has died]

"?!"
