Zhao Zhize said slowly, "At that time, we were three teams that took on a mission to defeat Warcraft together, and we had agreed in advance on the distribution of rewards based on the strength of each team.

But after the victory, the strongest team started to attack the others in order to take all the rewards."

Cheng Xuqing pounded the bed angrily as he spoke of this. "Those people definitely planned this in advance. After the battle, most of our magic power was used up, and they were the only ones who had enough energy left to deal with the others."

Zhao Zhize continued, "This is what happened. Two people in our team were standing next to them, so they attacked us right from the start.

The three of us were lucky and managed to escape.

Luckily, everyone had teleportation stones with them, so nothing happened in the end. Otherwise, we would have felt really bad."

"When I become stronger, I will definitely find them and teach them a lesson."

Cheng Xuqing actually felt a little guilty about this matter. After all, it was at his instigation that everyone took the risk together, and the injuries were also somewhat caused by him.

He memorized the faces of those people firmly in his mind and secretly vowed to settle the score with them one day.

After hearing these things, Gu Shi was silent for a while, took out a stack of magic scrolls from his space ring, and stuffed half into each of them.

"Take these magic scrolls. Next time you encounter something like this, you can retaliate on the spot."

Zhao Zhize and Cheng Xuqing had been adventuring outside for quite some time, so they naturally knew the value of these scrolls.

"Give us all these? What about you? You should take a few back." As he said that, Cheng Xuqing wanted to stuff the scroll in his hand back to Gu Shi.

Gu Shi smiled and waved his hands, "Don't worry, I still have a lot, just take it with confidence."

The three of them had lived under the same roof for such a long time and had a deep relationship with each other, so they naturally would not be pretentious. After confirming that Gu Shi was not lying, they said thank you and accepted the scrolls.

Cheng Xuqing even cried out and rushed to Gu Shi's side. "Xuqing has been wandering for half his life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your adoptive father."

Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize were both amused by him.

Gu Shi laughed as he took something out of his pocket and said, "Hahahaha, come here, my dear son, this is your gift to your father."

Cheng Xuqing leaned over to take a look and saw that Gu Shi was holding a space ring.

Since coming to this world, Gu Shi has received many space props one after another, most of which are space rings.

Space props cannot be placed inside another space prop like nesting dolls. Gu Shi didn't want to cover his entire body with accessories, so he put away some of the unused ones.

The one he uses most often now is the space ring given by Field, and he also puts two or three small space rings in his pocket as a backup.

Gu Shi observed just now that Zhao Zhize and Cheng Xuqing were sharing a space ring, which was a bit inconvenient, so it was a good idea to give them another one.

Sure enough, Cheng Xuqing's eyes lit up when he saw the space ring, "Space ring? Thank you, godfather!"

Then he complained again: "The school's bound teleportation stones are too expensive. We didn't have much money left after buying them. Now this space ring was funded by Qi Yu."

After Cheng Xuqing's laughter, the heavy atmosphere in the room dissipated, and the three of them happily talked about other topics.

As they were chatting, Shuofeng on Gu Shi's shoulder started to cry.

"Are you hungry? Wait for me."

Gu Shi took out the food and put it on the table, letting Shufeng eat it by himself.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhize said, "This little bird you raised is so cute. Look at its feathers. It must have been born not long ago, right?"

Gu Shi nodded, "Yes, Shufeng has just turned two months old."

Then he looked at the pile of things on the table in the room and asked, "It looks like you've been staying in the hotel for a while? Are you doing a mission in Root City?"

Zhao Zhize replied, "We were originally planning to rest here, earn some money for the journey, and then replenish our supplies.

This guy, for some inexplicable reason, started playing some sewer decryption game and didn't want to leave until he had cracked it."

Gu Shi was stunned. "Sewer? Decryption?"

Cheng Xuqing explained to him, "It's like this. I went into the sewer here to help a client find lost items, and I found some very strange traces in there."

Zhao Zhize said helplessly, "Then he felt that these traces must be hiding some important secret. He's been running in the sewers every day for a while now, and his body is almost pickled."

Cheng Xuqing said with a smile: "Don't you think this is very similar to the puzzle in the game? Maybe you can find a treasure chest hidden somewhere in the end.

Anyway, we didn't have any specific goal for this trip, we just wanted to experience the new world. Sewer exploration is a classic adventure element."

"I say, you shouldn't be so confident when you're making up stories. When did sewer exploration become a classic adventure element?"

Zhao Zhize felt that he was almost led astray by Cheng Xuqing. At the first moment, he actually wanted to believe him, but after thinking about it, the only game with sewer exploration elements he could think of was Super Mario.

Cheng Xuqing retorted: "That's because you don't have enough experience."

Gu Shi spoke like a peacemaker: "Okay, okay, just say a few words, don't really quarrel."

Then he asked, "So? Have you made any progress after investigating for so long?"

"Of course, wait a moment."

As he spoke, Cheng Xuqing began to search in the backpack beside him.

After a while, he pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Shi. "This is the route map I've explored these days. How about it? Doesn't it look like a treasure map?"

Gu Shi took a look and said, "It really does look a bit like it."

On the simple map of Root City, there was a small part with densely packed lines drawn by Cheng Xuqing with a red pen, which really looked a bit like a treasure map.

Cheng Xuqing complained, "It's just that this sewer is too dark, and the routes are so interconnected. I almost got lost several times. Otherwise, I would definitely have made more progress than this."

After looking at the map, Gu Shi became somewhat interested in Cheng Xuqing's sewer exploration. He asked curiously, "Are you going to the sewer today? If so, take me with you."

Hearing his words, Cheng Xuqing said excitedly: "Gu Shi, are you joining too? That's great!"

Zhao Zhize was more thoughtful. "Will this waste your time? You should have other things to do when you get out, right?"

Gu Shi shook his head. "No, I don't have any mission this time. There won't be any problem in moving with you guys."
