Chapter 175 I'll be the one to steal his
Shen Jufeng recalled that many professional players in the city had asked him if he was recruiting members. "In fact, many people asked me if they could join this team, but I refused."
Lu Jiu frowned, "Why haven't I received such an email before?"
Zhuang Yun coughed lightly and touched his nose, “Maybe they think Mr. Shen is the captain.”
Who would have thought that the captain was actually Lu Jiu. Although the battle was basically commanded by Shen Jufeng, Lu Jiu's strength was not inferior at all. During the battle, nearly half of the damage was often caused by Lu Jiu.
Even when they encountered a boss that could summon minions, most of the time Lu Jiu would deal with the boss first, and they would deal with the minions.
Lu Jiu listened to Zhuang Yun's speculation and hummed a tune, "Maybe he thinks I'm staying in the team by using unspoken rules. Tsk, even if there's going to be unspoken rules, I'm the one who's going to use them."
Zhuang Yun suppressed his urge to laugh and turned his face away. Shen Jufeng glanced at Lu Jiu but did not comment on this.
Actually, when you think about it, it seems like Lu Jiu is trying to seduce him, but he doesn't have that idea.
Zhuang Yun: "You're right. Those people don't know us well, so they just like to make wild guesses. That's just how people like to be."
Then he observed Lu Jiu's expression and found that he didn't take this matter to heart at all. He was frowning and his thoughts were drifting away.
It was Shen Jufeng who reminded her: "Focus and don't be dazed. The mount determines its flight direction and speed based on your thoughts."
Lu Jiu sat up straight and focused.
In Xuantian City, Yong Lin, who had lived here for several days, had recovered from his injuries. Recently, he had not seen the three people who saved him come to see him.
Life here is peaceful, ordinary residents can earn money on their own, and professional residents do not interfere with each other when they go out to clear the fields.
This was a scene he could not see in his original city-state.
Now that his injury has healed, it's time for him to prepare for his future development here.
*
A city-state in Changyuan City.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, hidden from the city's residents, a short, hunched man reported to the masked figure sitting at the upper seat, "City Lord, even though that kid escaped, he definitely wouldn't have survived the severe snowstorm outside those two days, alone in the wild."
The masked man tapped the seat with his index and middle fingers, laughed strangely, and said, "He's not dead. He even went to Yangshan City."
The thin man's heart tightened, he dared not make a sound, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
After a while, the masked man spoke again, "Alright, go down and make a plan. I'll implement it after the spring. I'll catch that kid then."
The thin man breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, "Yes, I'll go right away."
By the time he left the City Lord's Mansion, his back was already drenched in cold sweat. Their City Lord was too terrifying, his methods were bloodthirsty, and he happened to be the one who took the initiative...
Without thinking about it anymore, he hurried away.

Lu Jiu and his friends had another fruitful day today. They also encountered several snow pythons. However, with the experience of dealing with them before, they were able to deal with them much faster this time.
When they were almost at the city-state, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped them.
Lu Jiu stopped and looked at the man. It turned out to be the young man named Yong Lin.
"What are you waiting for us here for?" It looked like he was waiting for them specially.
Yong Lin looked much better than before, and his expression was no longer as frightened as before.
The young man's eyes were firm, and he said softly, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
This was not a question. From his eyes, it could be seen that the young man was certain that they would agree.
"certainly."
The three returned to the city-state, and Yong Lin followed them, but still kept his distance.
In the restaurant, Lu Jiu asked for a private room where no one else would disturb him.
Lu Jiu handed him the menu and said, "Choose what you want to eat. It's my treat."
Yong Lin was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he came here that day. He probably didn't have much extra money.
The young man was neither humble nor arrogant. He carefully selected a few dishes before handing the menu back to her.
While waiting for the food, Lu Jiu and the others were not in a hurry. They pushed the juice brought by the NPC to Yong Lin and said, "You drink it."
Yong Lin saw Shen Jufeng looking at him with his arms folded, while Zhuang Yun was holding a pen and paper, scribbling something.
He picked up the juice and took a sip. It was still cold, but it tasted very good. He hadn't had juice for a long time, and a long-lost sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.
He put down the cup after drinking half of the juice. "I think you should be curious about why I am alone in the jungle."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Yes, you are from a nearby city-state."
Yong Lin shook his head and said, "I came from Changyuan City."
Lu Jiu was a little surprised. Changyuan City was not close to here. Yangshan City had nearby cities, and Changyuan City was one of them.
But the distance between the two cities is also very far. This young man actually came here alone. If he didn’t have a mount, she really didn’t know how long it took him to walk.
"Don't you have any means of transportation?" Each city-state is established for at least half a year, and the forging shop should also be able to produce this kind of transportation.
"I originally had a mount, but it was damaged while I was trying to escape from some wild monsters the day before I met you."
Mounts are not indestructible. They also have limits on their use and will be damaged if attacked, just like when Lu Jiu's wings were hit before, cracks appeared.
You don't have to fight wild monsters when you encounter them. If you have good equipment, you can escape and avoid them.
Shen Jufeng: "It seems that they are some wild monsters of high level."
Yong Lin nodded. "Yes, they were a few bronze-level Snow Eagles. I was out of potions, and my weapons were almost worn out. I only managed to escape after losing my mount and wings."
Lu Jiu could imagine how difficult it was for him to escape.
But that's not the most important thing. "But why did you flee here? Even if you could find a city-state closer, that would be fine."
Yong Lin quickly shook his head. "It's useless. There's no way I can stay in Changyuan City. It's not safe there."
Lu Jiu looked at Shen Jufeng suspiciously, totally confused as to why such a big city couldn't be safe anywhere.
Shen Jufeng asked directly: "What happened to the city-state you originally stayed in?"
The reason can only lie with the city lord, or the entire city-state.
"The mayor of Tianming City in Changyuan City is a lunatic. He is a first-mover player and a very well-equipped player with epic-level weapons."
Lu Jiu frowned. In her backpack, there were not many weapons that could be classified as epic. She had previously given a black and white chess game to Shen Jufeng, but the other party had only tried it twice.
As for her Xuanling Divine Bow, she had never used it since she got the weapon made by the forging shop.
Lu Jiu asked him in an uncertain tone: "Did that person use weapons of this level against other people?"
Yong Lin nodded seriously, "Yes, that person attacks anyone he dislikes, without giving any reason. There are only two people in Changyuan City who possess epic-level weapons, and the other one doesn't care what the Lord of Tianming City does."
Of course, there are not many weapons of this kind. There are not many players who play Lingdong, and even fewer people are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a piece of equipment.
It is rare to find someone like her who spends millions, and Lingdong was a niche game before the end of the world.
