"Miss your girlfriend?" A crisp voice sounded from behind.
Youyou walked up the mountain road carrying a food box and a huge backpack.
Yan Xiaocang ignored Youyou. Although Youyou deceived everyone with her superb acting skills when she was at the northwest supply station of the Prancing Pony, it cannot be denied that she helped him and was not bad to him.
When Yan Xiaocang was depressed, he wanted to find someone to talk to, but it wasn't Youyou.
"Nice stars, nice scenery. Have a drink." Youyou said to herself, sat down next to Yan Xiaocang, opened the food box, and took out a plate of boiled sea melon seeds and two glasses. , filling the glass with bright red wine.
Yan Xiaocang didn't say anything. He silently took the glass and drank it in one gulp.
"You should have seen some clues. For those of us hunters who have been fighting in high-risk areas all year round, doctors like Dr. Chu, Wei Ta, and even Sister Nanfeng will have some contempt. Compared with us, their lives It's so superior that we have forgotten what we came to Qimeng Paradise for." Youyou said softly while sipping the mellow wine.
Yan Xiaocang grabbed the wine bottle and poured himself another glass.
Youyou continued: "Constant hunting and killing are not all of life. We are used to living a life that is not just for living. You may not understand it yet, but in the days to come, you will become more and more aware of it. The stronger you are, the more you will think. I brought you to this area not to tie you down. Although you only have three stars, I believe that if you spend more time and exert more effort, you will be better. Even if you go through some hardships, you won¡¯t die here.¡±
Yan Xiaocang didn't speak, Youyou also paused for a moment, and then whispered: "I know, you want to leave me. This is your backpack. I have packed you with a week's worth of food and compressed drinking water. Tonight, Just go to the tavern and stay. The arc staff hasn't been made yet, so leave it with me first. I'll give it to you next time I see you."
Yan Xiaocang was stunned for a moment. He really wanted to move out of the Youyou house. He was still hesitating on how to tell her, but unexpectedly the smart girl took the initiative and said, "I have a staff and that's enough."
"This is not the Prancing Horse Plains. Do you know how many staffs Sister Nanfeng usually carries? In her windbreaker pocket, there are at least six staffs. High-level and high-quality staffs can provide special magic skills. Help, and even store some magic that can be cast instantly in the Alpha crystal in the staff. There is no such thing as too many weapons." Youyou's voice increased in volume, but then it dropped again in a flash.
"It's always difficult for others to express their experiences as your own. You'd better go through some dangers and verify it again. Your book Nightmare in Paradise is very good. Cherish it. Read more."
After saying that, Youyou picked up the wine bottle, poured the remaining red wine into her mouth, and then threw the empty bottle far away.
The sound of breaking wine bottles was particularly harsh in the silent night.
The girl pushed her backpack towards Yan Xiaocang, turned around and left. The back figure under the starlight looked so lonely.
Yan Xiaocang suddenly thought that Youyou¡¯s experience was also a mystery. Seeing that she is about the same age as him, only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can she reach the level of a six-star combat hunter?
Reaching six stars is not just as simple as accumulating assessment points to a certain level. In addition to reaching the six-star standard in assessment points, you must also understand the role of force fields and form your own force fields before you can upgrade. Even if it takes six or seven years, it's not too slow.
¡°Could it be said that Youyou has been hanging out in Qimeng Paradise since she was ten years old? So how does she survive in an environment where the weak and the strong prey on the strong?
However, Youyou did not give Yan Xiaocang a chance to ask questions. Looking at her frail but strong back, Yan Xiaocang knew that it would be difficult for them to have the same days as when they first met.
After finishing the wine in the glass, packing the food box, picking up his backpack, Yan Xiaocang walked towards the bar.
The bars in Nanhai Town are actually similar to the pubs in other cities. In addition to a place for guests to drink and chat, there are also rooms for people to rest. It's hard to guess what these high-level hunters are thinking. Just for one hunt, they built a town with complete municipal facilities at all costs. Apart from anything else, are there really guests staying in the bar?
But they still enjoy it. I heard that they not only regard this as a necessity in life, but also put themselves into the performance as if they were acting. I really don¡¯t know what they think.
Yan Xiaocang pushed open the wooden door of the bar, and a wave of hot air mixed with the aroma of cigars, wine and popcorn hit his face. It seems that the soundproofing effect of the bar is very good, outsideThere was only a vague movement, but when I came in, I realized that it was filled with excitement inside.
Around seven or eight tables, red-faced hunters were sitting. Some of them were drinking elegantly from exquisite glasses, while most of them were still using large cups to hold frothy beer and cheering boldly.
The lively scene was far different from the mood of watching stars on the hillside. Yan Xiaocang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. At this time, someone from the table in the corner waved to him: "Xiao Cang, come here."
Under the dim light, Yan Xiaocang looked over and was stunned.
The people sitting around that table were actually familiar people: Mo Tu, Zi Minghui, An Yi, and Landa.
A surge of heat surged in the young man's heart. When you are in a low mood and are hesitant about the future, what could be happier than meeting a group of friends who share life and death together?
Yan Xiaocang strode over and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Mo Tu is a five-star combat hunter, and he is a hunter with six-star strength who has understood the role of force fields. It is not unusual for him to come here. However, the other three people are only one-star hunters. It seems a bit reluctant to come to a dangerous area with six stars or above.
Zi Minghui smiled and said: "Xiao Cang, do you not welcome us, or do you look down on our strength?"
However, An Yi stared at the hunter badge on Yan Xiaocang's chest and admired: "Xiao Cang is really amazing. He has reached Sanxing so quickly. We are here to join you. From the moment we entered Qimeng Paradise, the rest of us have been following you. , now that you have made it through, you can¡¯t leave us alone.¡±
Yan Xiaocang moved a chair to sit down and said with a wry smile: "Brothers and sisters, please stop teasing me. Although I level up quickly, haven't I embezzled your mission contributions?"
Zi Minghui shook his head and said: "Don't think of us so generously, we are just embarrassed to embezzle your contribution. Besides, as a member of a team, you are famous, and our face is also glorious."
Landa¡¯s always cold face was flushed, and she didn¡¯t know if it was the effect of alcohol. She didn¡¯t say anything, but just gestured to Yan Xiaocang with her wine glass.
"Brother Mo Tu, we" Yan Xiaocang really didn't know how to continue the relationship with Mo Tu in the future. Mo Tu opened a bar in the farm hospital. When he first revealed his identity in front of everyone, he pretended to be Dr. Chu's confidant. However, Yan Xiaocang knew that he was actually an undercover agent assigned by the Supervisory Committee to Dr. Chu.
When escorting the Dream Leaf Grass, Mo Tu did not play a good role. If he had not been passive and sabotaged, Nanfeng, who was hiding his true identity, would not have snatched the Dream Leaf Grass so smoothly.
Yan Xiaocang¡¯s trust in Mo Tu is far less than that of Zi Minghui and others.
At this moment, seeing Mo Tu hanging out with Zi Minghui and others, Yan Xiaocang could not help but have some grudges in his heart.
Mo Tu smiled slightly: "Xiao Cang, long time no see. I'm very happy to hear that you have become a three-star monk hunter. I opened this bar, and we have had a pleasant cooperation experience. I can give you a 20% discount on all your purchases. .¡±
An Yi said jealously: "Why didn't you say anything about the discount just now? Our reputation is still not as good as Xiao Cang's."
"You are only one star." Mo Tu said with a smile.
None of the people here take their rank seriously, and they all laughed at the originally hurtful joke.
During the mission of escorting Dream Leaf Grass, everyone was injured and buried under the mound created by Nanfeng's magic. Yan Xiaocang himself was captured by Nanfeng, and Suo Mingni and others were rescued by Yong Yi and others who came from Suiyu City. . In this way, after Mo Tu recovered from his injury, he came directly to Nanhai Town and opened this bar.
As if to confirm Yan Xiaocang's guess, Mo Tu said: "After the mission of Dream Leaf Grass is completed, I will finish my work at the farm hospital. I haven't experienced any strong winds and waves for so long, and it seems that even the instinct to fight has become rusty. I heard that some of my former friends were coming to kill the turtle-backed plesiosaur, so I came here to join in the fun. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you."
Several people raised their middle fingers at him at the same time: "It's hard for you to help."
"It's very arrogant. One-star and two-star hunters despise six-star combat hunters. Weird things happen every year, especially this year. You guys who came here to die, you'd better go home." A few words came from a table next to him. A strange sound.
A rough man smiled and said: "Don't say that, don't you know, people who are too upright are not popular. What if you scare them to tears and their parents come to find you?"
At first, the man immediately curled up into a ball, pretending to be very scared and said, "No Mommy, help me, I'm so scared."
The man who acted with him turned out to be Big, the six-star combat hunter who was the captain of Dragon Killer. It seemed that his resentment towards Yan Xiaocang was not as strong as usual.
Yan Xiaocang smiled contemptuously and asked Mo Tu: "Are you planning to change the furniture here?"
Mo Tu sighed: "I've heard about it a long time ago. I'm very sentimental about the bar in the farm hospital. It cost me two hundred thousand just to decorate it. You little guy, you actually destroyed it all for me. Then. I won¡¯t pursue the losses on the side, but the location of Nanhai Town is very good, and there may be development in the future"
Yan Xiaocang said simply: "Make a price."
"Three hundred thousand, total loss. Less than half, one hundred thousand."
"make a deal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xiaocang slapped the table with both hands, jumped up from the chair, kicked the edge of the table with his left foot, and with the force of the rebound, he turned upside down, spread his legs apart, and turned to the side like a windmill. That table was smashed.
No one expected that Yan Xiaocang would attack at the slightest disagreement. Big and the eccentric six-star gunner hunter were caught off guard. They only had time to overturn their chairs and escape. Yan Xiaocang gathered all his strength and attacked with the sound of wind. Two feet.
Yan Xiaocang¡¯s goal was not the two of them, but the table full of beer and dishes. There was just a sound of ping-pong, and the table was smashed in half by Yan Xiaocang. Cups and plates were flying around with wine, soup, salad dressing, etc., and the two hunters' brand-new clothes were colorfully sprinkled, which was really beautiful.
?According to Yan Xiaocang¡¯s temper, he is not a troublemaker. However, since he woke up, the sadness caused by Suo Minni's departure, the sense of crisis caused by the large-scale hunting by high-level hunters, and the pressure put on him by Youyou's strange attitude made him unable to vent his anger.
Bigger¡¯s repeated provocations gave him the best opportunity to vent.
In Qimeng Paradise, all rules are false, only strength is real.
Yan Xiaocang still remembers the first time he participated in a public mission. The two-star combat hunter Tian Shu from the Prancing Horse Mercenary Group openly teased Landa in order to establish his authority in front of the would-be hunters. At that time, he was so awesome that the team members must obey the captain's orders as long as they do not intentionally endanger the lives of the team members.
When I saw Landa, that past incident came to mind clearly. Yan Xiaocang and the others may have to be active near Nanhai Town for a long time, and they will inevitably have to deal with these high-level hunters. If they just tolerate it, won't they take advantage of them?
A series of negative emotions accumulated together, and the kind-hearted young man finally burst out.
