Chapter 321 Message Summary
Chapter 321 Message Summary
Seven o'clock in the morning, Seahorse City, Zero Tavern.
Unlike Coral City, the tavern branch in this city can indeed be described as "chaotic".
Su Xia sat in a corner on the first floor, holding a glass of cheap wine in her hand, her eyes drooping slightly, and she took a sip from time to time.
The surroundings are messy and noisy, like a chaotic vegetable market.
Someone drank too much, his face flushed, and he blew about his past deeds loudly.
There were also people talking in low voices, telling stories from all over the world.
"That masked monster is terrible. If it were us, who would dare to openly confront the machine race?"
"Hey, one lives for being chic."
"Wrong, people live all their lives for money, chicness has a fart, no money is uncomfortable!"
"..."
Arguing, bragging, drinking, all kinds of voices kneaded together.
Only Su Xia can distinguish, there are accents from the northeast and northwest of the mainland, and there seems to be a soft accent unique to the southern coast.
There are ordinary people here, and there are also killers at Zero Tavern.
On the ground floor, no ID card is required, as long as you are willing to drink, you can come, even there are many players.
There is a small team of players in another corner not far from Susha, drinking and pointing at the surrounding NPCs.
One of the players looked around and asked the other players, "Which one of these people is the strongest?"
Another player said: "I heard that the people on the first floor of the tavern are not very powerful. The really powerful people are on the first basement floor. They are all officially registered members of the tavern, and almost all of them are spiritual creatures."
"I think the bartender just now is very good, just like the sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple." A player pointed to the bartender behind the bar.
"No, did you see that man sitting in the corner?"
A sharp-eyed player pointed to Su Xia, and said, "These kind of people who sit in the corner and don't talk are usually masters."
Su Xia: "..."
He didn't expect that sitting in the corner and not talking would attract attention.
He was too lazy to talk to these players, and continued to sip his wine, listening to the conversations of the people around him, and gleaning the information he needed from them.
Most of the people here are here for the masked monster, and most of the topics discussed are related to the masked monster.
But now the situation is too chaotic, and many people come to fish in troubled waters. Su Xia has not heard much useful things after listening for a long time.
After a while, there was a sudden exclamation from the group of players.
"Damn it, did you see that the person sitting in the corner, why is it all '?', he doesn't even have a name!"
"A master, a real master!"
For a moment, many players looked at Su Xia with burning eyes, as if they were looking at some treasure.
High-level NPC, you can meet but not ask for.
Su Xia shook her head helplessly, sighed, drank the wine in the glass, got up and left the position.
The game system that comes with the players can read the data of characters or items in the game, which is very convenient for the players themselves.
But this function is quite annoying to the characters in the game.
Before, there were a few high-level psionic creatures who left the big cities and lived in seclusion in small villages and towns because they were tired of fighting. identities live with them.
But as soon as the players came, they began to search for missions and special NPCs all over the world. They turned on the system to search everywhere, and it didn't take long to find those reclusive high-level NPCs, which made people very annoying.
In the past, if the identity was exposed, it would be fine to live in seclusion in another place.
But now the whole world is full of players, even in the vast wilderness and rough seas.
Su Xia walked to the bar and gently put down the cup in her hand.
"Boom!"
The sound of the glass touching the wooden table is clear and crisp.
The bartender smiled and asked, "What else would the customer want?"
Su Xia said, "Buy some news."
"Is the guest a registered member of the tavern?"
"No."
"For non-registered members, it costs three times the price to buy news." The bartender smiled and said, "The guests are quite good, why not register at the tavern?"
The bartender is also a psychic creature with keen perception. He has seen various people in the tavern over the years.
He could tell at a glance that Su Xia was a master, and he could even smell a faint smell of blood around Su Xia, so he invited Su Xia to join the tavern.
Su Xia shook her head: "No, three times as much as three times, I have money."
"Non-registered members can't buy core news." The bartender added, "Do customers really not think about it? Registered members of the tavern have absolute freedom."
"Oh? How free?"
"Guests can register now, then purchase the news they need, and then cancel their identity after the purchase is complete, without paying any price."
"Ha ha……"
In order to attract high-quality members, this zero-point tavern has exhausted all means, even using the mobile company's routine of applying for cards.
Su Xia was invited by Yi Mo at the beginning, and did not go through the induction process.
If the inside of the tavern was really as free as he advertised, the members of the North Wind Story Club would not be under house arrest in the underground of the Coral City tavern.
"What do the guests think?" the bartender asked with a smile.
"I don't have that leisurely mind." Su Xia refused again.
"Okay, may I ask what kind of information the guests need?" The bartender didn't mention the registration anymore, after all, it's only three things.
"It's related to the Masked Man."
"All the news?"
"Well, all of them."
"Guests can prepare more money."
"It doesn't matter, if you have money, you don't care."
"..."
The bartender immediately asked someone to take over, and then made a gesture of invitation to Su Xia.
"Guests please come with me."
"it is good."
The two left the noisy public area on the first floor of the bar, one after the other, and walked into a quiet corridor covered with a deep red carpet.
Non-registered members are not eligible to go to the basement floor.
If you need to buy information, you will be directed to the side room.
"Guests, please come in." The bartender opened a separate room for Su Xia.
The room was small, save for a dark black desk with a monitor on it.
The bartender asked Su Xia to sit down, then took out his own ID card, swiped it on the sensor next to the display screen, the display screen instantly lit up, and the tavern information system interface displayed to the public appeared.
"Ding-dong-"
With a soft sound, several simple modules popped up on the interface, and the bartender clicked on the module named [Information Summary] to enter the sub-interface.
At the top of this sub-interface, there is a news about [Mask-Masked Man].
Perhaps there are too many people who bought these news recently, so [related to the masked man] was put on the top and placed in the most conspicuous position.
In addition, you can also see the words [related to redemption potion], [related to the king of mercenaries], [related to coral city], etc., which seem to be available for purchase.
"There's a lot of news, you can't take the guests away, you can only watch them here." The bartender said.
"Can't you take away ordinary news?" Su Xia asked.
"No, it cannot be copied, but the guests can remember it in their minds."
"it is good."
"Does the guest plan to start from the beginning?"
"Well, call out the news about the earliest appearance of the masked man."
The earliest information is likely to be produced by Dad's team.
Su Xia originally sent some nanorobots to follow Dad.
It stands to reason that even if the distance is far away, those nano-robots should send back messages to Su Xia every once in a while.
But Dad didn't know what method he used, maybe he discovered and destroyed those nano-robots, so Su Xia hasn't received any news so far, and he doesn't know where they went.
"Guest, this is the earliest news." The bartender called up a file named 0001 for Su Xia, "At that time, when the tavern members were performing a task, they saw a figure wearing an iron mask flashing past. Here is his oral report."
In document No. 0001, there are no photos or videos, only an oral document with a few hundred scattered words.
Su Xia briefly read it, and it was almost as he thought, and there was no useful information.
The subsequent 0002-0007 files are all written witness reports, some of which have already been circulated on the Internet, and were mentioned in the tavern just now.
In these seven sightings, from the east to the west of the city, from inside to outside the city, the witnesses were convinced that what they saw was the masked man.
Moreover, on the 0005 document, there was also a note of [doubtful authenticity].
Because the witnesses at the time did not pass the polygraph.
"We suspect that this person deliberately said that he had seen the masked man in order to gain attention." The bartender explained.
"Well, it's possible." Su Xia nodded.
According to the statement on the other side of the earth, the masked geek is now top-notch, and the eyes of the entire continent are focused on this operation at the Zero Tavern.
As long as you can have a little relationship with him, if you are lucky, you can earn money that you can't spend in your life.
Therefore, some people took the risk and used their lives to rub traffic.
Su Xia continued to browse down, and in the eighth document, a video finally appeared.
This video was provided by a supermarket. At that time, the supermarket was stolen and a large amount of cash disappeared. After checking the surveillance, it was discovered that a person wearing a metal mask had entered the supermarket in the middle of the night.
Below this video, there is also a comment of "true or false".
"This video is real." The bartender continued to explain, "But after analysis, the person in the video cannot be a masked man. With his personality, it is impossible for him to sneak into the supermarket in the middle of the night to steal money."
"Yes……"
Su Xia was a little speechless. His good reputation was ruined by these imitators.
In the following documents, the masked man stole not only money, but also food such as bread, fruit, and greenhouse vegetables, and even chickens and dogs, and one who robbed children on the street.
Seeing these cases and news, Su Xia almost had a heart attack.
If it was really done by one person, then the image of the masked man would have changed from a dashing expert who disappeared without a trace to a street gangster who is beaten by everyone.
Thankfully, most of the files have an ending attached.
Many of the thieves have been caught, all proven not to be the Masked Man.
Copies of their confessions, corrections, and other materials have all been sent to the tavern, entered into the files, and made available for purchase and inspection.
The one who robbed other people's children was found two days later, and was finally beaten to death by angry crowd in the street.
"Is this information not screened?" Su Xia asked.
"Guest, you are the one who requested all the information." The bartender replied respectfully.
"Okay, give me the filtered, useful information."
"OK, just a second."
The bartender flicked through the system to filter out some important files.
Su Xia noticed that among the selected files, there was a [lock] symbol in front of one file, which seemed to be unable to be opened.
He clicked several times, but got the [Insufficient Permissions] prompt.
"Guest, this document needs to be registered as a member to view it." The bartender explained with a smile, "If the guest really wants to see it, why don't you register first? It will be done in a few minutes, very quickly."
"Forget it, I'll look at something else."
Susha skipped the file and began to check the rest of the information.
The information that appears this time is more useful.
First of all, the machine clan—the tavern got the information. The machine clan was led by a level [-] creature named "Todd".
This Todd, like Moser, is a very trusted subordinate of the master of the machine clan, and his own strength is also extremely strong.
There are more than a dozen documents about the machine clan, recording most of the details of their actions in Haima City.
"Do you have an undercover agent in the machine clan or something?" Su Xia asked casually, "Can such a detailed action route be obtained?"
"No need for undercover agents." The bartender replied: "The machine race has always been self-confident and will not take the initiative to hide their whereabouts. As long as they are willing to look for them, they will naturally be found."
"Isn't it written 'secret arrival'? Why is the arrival time clearly stated?"
"Is such that……"
The bartender explained seriously: "The secret arrival of the machine race probably refers to 'arriving in the dark', that is, in the middle of the night."
"..."
Literally, it can still be understood in this way.
According to the information in the system, this Todd has taken over the entire mechanical clan base in Seahorse City, just like Moser, he has become a role like a behind-the-scenes BOSS.
The local mechanical city lord is not very strong, just an ordinary fourth-level creature, not well-known, not as famous as Coral City Yutuo.
Su Xia continued to look down, and soon saw a familiar name - Wang Teng.
The tavern got the information that Wang Teng, the king of mercenaries in the wilderness, has become a level 4.8 creature, but the information inside the tavern has not been updated, and it still shows level [-].
Since Wang Teng was clamoring to kill the masked man every day, which was also related to the masked man, his priority in the news was very high.
Then came the tavern's own message.
There are indeed two fifth-level creatures from the northern branch, one named Hu Hanhai and the other named Liu Jinjia, who are currently resting on the first basement floor of the tavern.
They are not short of money, just for fame.
"The tavern is full of people, and these two adults are sitting in charge, so it must be safe." Su Xia said.
"The guest was joking, the situation is unclear now, and it is uncertain whether the masked man is really in Seahorse City."
"Is there no suitable deduction inside the tavern?" Su Xia asked again, "For example, who is the real body of the masked man?"
"Yes, there are some suspects in the locked file, if the guest wants to see..."
"never mind."
Su Xia waved her hand, and this guy tried to trick him into registering again.
He continued to look down, browse other news, and read all the recent events in the whole city related to the masked man.
What puzzled him was that after reading it, he couldn't find any information related to Dad's team, even if it seemed suspicious.
Both the tavern and the mechanical clan are suspecting that someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, but so far they have not been able to find any details to support this suspicion.
As expected of father...
