Quadruple split.

Chapter 2473 Listen to Meow's Argument First

Game time PM16:57

Northwest Continent, Ankh Market, Adventurer's Guild

"So, I first used the Green Dragon Water-drawing Move, followed by two somersaults, and then used my right hand to attack his collarbone, appendix, and hip respectively, which immediately shocked the murderer and made him fall flat on his face!"

In the innermost window, there was a cat-like half-orc thief with a rather gentle appearance, a pair of cat ears that were tightly attached to his slightly frizzy black and red hair due to a lack of confidence, and light red vertical pupils. He was dancing and talking excitedly as he described his previous "glorious achievements" to the young lady behind the counter. Although he introduced himself very hard and his eloquence was indeed comparable to that of a professional bard, for some reason, such a brilliant and passionate speech did not receive any positive response.

One of the receptionists at the Anka Market Adventurer's Guild, a young lady named Chris, just stared calmly at the cat-man in front of her, her lavender eyes seemed to be brewing a thunderstorm.

Although this girl Chris is strictly speaking a beauty, and even though the only accessories under her receptionist's coat are a black and white checkered striped shirt and a white round hat, the sense of oppression she exudes is still different from that of ordinary people.

To put it simply... the intention to kill is very strong.

That's right, Miss Chris has a strong murderous intention. This is a consensus that all adventurers who have stayed in Anka Market for a period of time are familiar with or even experienced personally. The reason is very simple, that is, although there is nothing wrong with Chris herself, in fact, her probability of encountering strange people and strange things is always among the highest among all her colleagues.

In the current world view, more than 90% of the above content is not a good thing. To give the simplest example, when Jadka was unable to reduce the explosion rate of the staff to below %, when Anthony Dabbs registered as an adventurer, and before Yaya wandered to Anka Market and was picked up by Mo Tan, it was Chris who was responsible for receiving them.

What's even more frightening is that this group of weirdos is just the tip of the iceberg of Chris's record. In fact, all those unconventional talents will basically be guided to the window that Chris is responsible for by some kind of force like the will of the universe, and will anger him after a period of time or a long time.

It is precisely because of this that this receptionist, who is almost becoming some kind of urban legend, is like a powder keg in most cases, full of pressure and ready to explode at any time.

Today was just like any other day. As the first person to report to the Adventurer's Guild for a failed mission, Aramis and his companions went straight to Chris and started to argue after squeezing into the busy hall. What was even more infuriating was that, as the speaker of the argument, the cat-man thief apparently did not notice the increasingly fierce anger in the young lady's eyes, and he kept talking nonstop for the entire class!

That’s right, a full forty-five minutes!

Forty-five minutes! He just chatted with Miss Chris for forty-five minutes without even a sip of water!

It is no exaggeration to say that after this sophistry, which could be called a speech, lasted for more than thirty minutes, not to mention Chris, the person involved, even the adventurers who were watching the fun around him... and his companions, all wanted to beat him up.

"So what you're saying is—"

Finally, when Aramis finished his statement and gave Chris a smile that he thought was very charming but was actually extremely frivolous, the lady behind the counter confirmed with a blank expression: "Despite your great efforts, your results have completely angered the cowardly Night Monkey, who is just above the mid-level strength. After being severely teased by it... you lost it?"

Aramis coughed lightly and said seriously, "Although I noticed that your perspective is not strictly objective, I am willing to face the relatively relevant part of it."

"The relatively relevant part?"

Chris lowered his eyes, picked up the quill pen and wrote two lines of cursive writing on the mission log. The writing was flowing and natural, showing the beauty of the vastness. Without looking up, he asked, "For example?"

"For example...we accidentally angered that naughty little guy."

"Ah."

"Also, we did play with it for a bit and received high praise from the monkey brother."

"What kind of praise?"

"..."

"say."

"In the form of trying to crack a nut with my skull, it became clear that I had almost earned its absolute trust."

"So you even let it hit you on the head?"

"I think it's just a way for friends to keep in touch."

"Very good, anything else?"

"Also, we did accidentally lose track of the child. Alas, what a poor little guy. He must have gotten lost while playing hide-and-seek with Yu Shang. After all, that woman was too murderous."

"I see. I totally understand."

"Ahem, wait, I didn't emphasize that last point yet."

"You said."

"As you have recounted, we have indeed put a lot of effort into this, so..."

Bah!

With a loud bang, Chris fiercely stamped a seal on the lower right corner of the mission log in front of him, and said without looking up: "This is the certificate of [Mission Failure], in the name of the guild."

"Give me Kangkang."

Aramis slumped his shoulders in frustration and reached for the document. "I'm a writer, maybe I can help you polish this document..."

Bah! !

With the second loud bang, Aramis' right hand froze in mid-air, and at the same time, a piece of black hair that smelled of burnt fell on his shoulder.

"This is a [12.7*33mm large-caliber armor-piercing projectile]."

Chris raised his head and looked at Aramis expressionlessly, holding up an engineering device that looked like a short-handled musket but had a very shocking visual impact. He slowly moved it towards Aramis's brow, opened his cherry lips slightly, and exhaled sweetly: "In the name of my employer."

"Cough cough."

Aramis raised his hands meekly, the curve of his mouth was stiff and dry: "Listen to me, dear lady, I promise that this is just a regrettable accident. In the name of Hemer, the goddess of dawn, I believe that our employer will understand our suffering..."

"This is the Deer Hunter's burst mode."

Chris raised his slender index finger slightly, causing the wild-looking deadly machine in his hand to emit an ominous clanging sound. He then showed a sweet, bright, and brilliant smile to the sweaty cat-man thief, and pulled the trigger without hesitation the next second: "In my own name." Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!!!

Just like that, with the scorching hunting bullets blasting out, the screaming crowd running in all directions, the cat-people running wildly, and the hysterical laughter from a certain receptionist, the [Bath of Fire] Adventurer Team escaped from the first floor hall of the Adventurer's Guild in a very embarrassed manner, and ran all the way to an alley two blocks away where no gunshots could be heard, where they stopped and gasped for breath.

Of course, to be more precise, it should be Aramis and Porthos who were breathing heavily. As for the other two, considering that Wu Nian had been sitting on Porthos's shoulder, and Yu Shang had suppressed his presence to the minimum as soon as Aramis said the word "play", and left without hesitation to mark the escape route for his companions, their physical consumption was completely negligible.

"so……"

Yu Shang pulled down his hood, turned around and saw that Aramis's physical value was almost at the bottom. He was leaning against the wall and sticking out his tongue. He said helplessly: "Do you have any reason to irritate her?"

"How could that be? I just overestimated my charm and thought she would lose herself in front of such a handsome face, and then she would be able to give us some compensation if the mission failed."

Aramis shook his ears and shrugged, "But it's obvious that she has received professional training. Even if the person she is facing is me, she can remain calm and composed."

Wu Nian, who was sitting on the Highlander's shoulder, smacked his lips and complained, "That doesn't look calm or composed, does it?"

"Yes."

Porthos sneered and agreed, "Including the gun in her hand, it's almost like she's passionate."

"shallow."

Aramis shook his head and glanced at Porthos with disdain. "You have to look beyond the surface to see the essence, idiot. [Boundary of Innocence] is not a game where NPCs are not as smart as you. I can guarantee with my own integrity that although the young lady seemed a little excited, during those few seconds when we looked at each other affectionately, not only was she not moved at all, she might even have wanted to laugh."

Porthos nodded and said simply, "Fuck you."

"You two stop for a moment."

It was clear that if no one was watching, the conversation between the two would be filled with all kinds of confusing gibberish and silenced words, so Yu Shang immediately raised his hand to block the cat man's rebuttal and casually changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that the progress of the strategy for that limited-time secret realm is quite good, and with the influx of non-professional players from outside the club and studio in the past few days, the efficiency has not slowed down as the difficulty has increased, but has become faster."

Aramis yawned and nodded lazily, "Oh."

"If I remember correctly, you should be the president and vice president of Yuhuo respectively."

Although she had short purple hair, her left eye was completely blocked by her bangs. The half-dragon girl who had just joined the [Bath of Fire] with the fairy on Portos's shoulder not long ago frowned and asked, "Is it really okay for you two to be absent for such a big event? The Bath of Fire should be one of the first organizations to agree to go to the Broken Wind Bird and the Green Apple Chamber of Commerce to 'open up the wasteland', right?"

Porthos, who rarely agreed with Aramis, grinned and said happily, "No problem. He is the guild leader who is just a scapegoat and mascot. There are also two vice-chairmen, Weiwu and Apo, as well as Beibei and other cadres. What problem can there be?"

"By the way~"

Aramis shook his finger and added, "Although it seems that everything is going well now, as if everyone will raze that secret realm to the ground in a few days, I dare to guarantee with my chastity that if we advance to one more area at most, the strategy there will be severely frustrated. Ordinary players will probably experience the largest 'death wave' since the launch of the game, and clubs and studios will also lose a considerable number of insignificant cannon fodder characters whose existence form is expendable."

Although he had no interest in clubs and studios before, during the [Crime Controversy], he noticed that those professional players were not all boosters, boosters, boosters, celebrities, or professional gold farmers, but were more "human" game practitioners. After changing his mind about this group, Yu Shang asked, "What is the cannon fodder role?"

"It's the role of cannon fodder."

The cat man gave a meek answer, and then took out a comb to comb his hair, which was quite a bit curled, and further explained: "As for the uses, there are many kinds. It can be used to fill in lines, mislead, and brush materials. This time it should be a pity. After all, if someone like me can guess it, there is no reason why those big guys who are professional players can't guess it."

"So, even though they know they may face a big setback, they still don't intend to remind ordinary players to pay attention to safety?"

Yu Shang nodded slightly, and said, "But in order to avoid being criticized later, those professional clubs and studios will put out a group of 'expendable characters' before the danger comes, and then create a situation where professional players will die just like ordinary players. In fact, their overall strength will not be shaken at all?"

Portos snapped his fingers and said cheerfully, "Most of it is correct, but you are wrong about one thing. Both the club and the studio have been reminding ordinary players to pay attention to safety, protect themselves, and avoid danger."

Yu Shang: “…Hmm?”

"Because whether they say it or not is one thing, but whether others listen to it or not is another."

Aramis leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and said leisurely, "After all, in the understanding of most people, those reminders will basically be translated into 'those idiots in professional clubs and studios want to steal my contribution points'."

Wu Nian on Portos's shoulder blinked and asked curiously, "So they don't actually plan to compete with ordinary players for contribution points?"

"You're overthinking it. Of course they've been fighting for contribution points desperately."

"Ah this."

“So this starts with…”

"It's a conspiracy at the level of a middle school student. If you listen to me, I'll take advantage of you. If you don't listen to me and die, don't blame me for not reminding you. The main feature is a flexible non-stick pan."

“It can’t be that all players can’t figure this out, right?”

"Of course not. There are too many people who can figure it out. If you don't believe me, go to the forum and you will see a lot of posts that say the same thing as me."

"Then why are you still..."

“Because there are more idiots.”

"..."
