Chapter 39 Revealing the News
The leader's eyes were still guarded, but he still agreed, "Okay, as long as you promise not to attack, otherwise we will not be vegetarians."
Lu Jiu smiled kindly, "Since you said so, of course we will abide by it. After all, there are only three of us."
The leader thought about it and realized that there were more than a dozen of them, but there were only three on Lu Jiu's side.
The man returned to the team and told his teammates about this. The other dozen people listened to their leader's words, looked at them, and nodded slowly after a long time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Jiu turned around and discussed with the two of them, "If they ask us which city we're from and what the situation is like over there, we'll probably be exposed if we tell them nonsense."
"To be honest, we don't know who the mayor of Xuantian City is, so it's difficult for us to contact other city-states. This time we came to Jinghe District because that's where I originally lived."
"What if we ask our boss?" Zhuang Yun asked. After all, they all knew about the wild pheasants here, and it would not be good if they didn't say anything when those people asked them.
Lu Jiu suggested: "Just say you only saw the boss from a distance and didn't get close."
"Main Lu Jiu will give the answer later, and we just need to agree with her, with her as the main person." Shen Jufeng said. Originally, Lu Jiu was the city lord, so of course she was the boss.
"Okay." After all, Zhuang Yun has been working in the social sector for many years, so he still has some vision.
In their team of three, Shen Jufeng's temperament stood out, which was the same temperament he had seen in his leaders when he was working before. He did decide some things in the team.
But the real decision-making core is still Lu Jiu. No matter what Shen Jufeng decides, Lu Jiu has to nod her head.
Although the two of them are cooperating, they still mainly rely on Lujiu.
Just as they finished chatting, the other team all came over. This time, the leader looked a little more relaxed. "Since we have the good fortune to meet, why don't you camp with our team and rest for the night?"
Lu Jiu and the others agreed, and they understood that these people wanted to get close to them and find out some information.
They have the same goal.

As night fell, the group lit a bonfire and everyone spread out in a circle around the bonfire.
Lu Jiu now knew that this team was from the city-state closest to this place. The leader was a man in his thirties named Xiang Yangping, who was a soldier by profession. Everyone in the team called him Captain Xiang.
According to Captain Xiang, these two chickens were collected in turn by four city-states, and they were the third one. Although there was a lot of chicken, most of it was only traded within the city.
As for the fact that they were all teams of city lords, some city lords in Jinghe District did conceal the information, but there were only two of them. Compared with the more than 20 city-states in Jinghe District, they were indeed rare.
Captain Xiang observed Lu Jiu and the others for a while and felt that the three of them had serious eyes and looked like nice people.
"Which city-state are you from? What's the situation over there?"
Hearing Captain Xiang finally asking about this information, Lu Jiu's expression remained unchanged. "We are not from Jinghe District. We came from Jinjiang District. My friend originally lived in this district, so I wanted to come and take a look."
Captain Xiang paused. He had thought that these three people came from other city-states in Jinghe District, but he never thought that they were from other districts.
"Is Jinjiang District the same as ours?" This was the first time he had seen someone coming from other districts since the world was gamified.
"We haven't been to too many city-states. There are four city-states close to us. You should know one of them. It's the empty Phantom City."
Captain Xiang and the others nodded. Everyone in the city knew about what happened in Phantom City. This also sounded a wake-up call to the mayors of other city-states, telling them not to blindly think about exploiting ordinary residents.
"We are from Xuantian City. The city lord has concealed the information. The living environment in the city is good and relatively free." Lu Jiu quietly advertised his city-state.
A girl on the team, looking gossipy, poked her head towards Lu Jiu and the others and said, "Xuantian City, I know, everyone says the city lord over there has no idea who it is, and that the second time the wild boar boss in Jinjiang District was killed was done by someone from Xuantian City."
A barrage of messages started running through Zhuang Yun’s mind: It’s us, the person who killed the BOSS is sitting in front of you.
Lu Jiu remained calm and continued to talk nonsense, "Yes, we don't know who did it. Anyway, those people sold pork to restaurants in the city."
In this game world, you can't view other people's personal information, and no one in the city knew it was them who did it, so the three of them quietly divided the pork.
The old man Zeng and his grandson knew about it, but he was very prudent and never mentioned the pork to outsiders, let alone taking the meat outside.
Captain Xiang nodded and said, "We have to give it to the city lord too, but everyone can keep a little for themselves, so we can only give a little to you." After all, they had all agreed, and it wasn't a loss to keep the three of them in check.
Even if there are three people, they will be very annoyed if they really cause trouble.
It hasn't been long since the world changed drastically, and these three people dared to come here from Jinjiang District. Who knows if they have some killer weapons.
"That's fine, let's just give it a try." Lu Jiu said cheerfully, then changed the subject, "But I'm curious, you're the only ones who can kill this BOSS. Won't the other teams in the city feel resentful?"
After all, the number of BOSSes is small and the refresh speed is not fast.
"The city lord has negotiated with them. We don't know the details, but it seems that after this, the teams will compete for the right to kill the boss next time."
Captain Xiang had no intention of hiding this, and it was not confidential information.
"That's good. Several city-states over there haven't taken turns to kill the BOSS like you do. It still depends on your ability to grab it." Lu Jiu silently praised Jinghe District.
Captain Xiang was indeed pleased to hear this. He touched his buzz cut and said, "Hahaha, maybe it's because we can't contact the mayor of your city-state and can't reach a consensus. In fact, we can learn from it."
It is indeed a good idea to let teams compete with each other for the chance to kill the BOSS. At least there is a chance, and it also depends on your ability.
And who knows what changes will be in the next game update.
With the goal of letting everyone know the news in the future and boosting their favorability, Lu Jiu mentioned the limited edition backpacks. "When we were buying transportation at the City Forge Shop, an NPC let us know a little bit. Do you have any information?"
Captain Xiang's expression became serious, "News? No one has said anything about what the NPC revealed." This is big news, and the NPCs in their city-state usually don't talk much to them.
"Well, we have a bicycle with a basket that has compartments with different capacities. Each compartment can hold 99 of the same item. The price varies depending on the number of compartments."
The team was confused. They clearly had their own backpacks, so why did they need to use these equipment?
But Captain Xiang immediately thought of something, "Does this mean that our backpacks will be modified?"
Lu Jiu nodded. "The NPC told me that the next time the game changes, it's very likely that personal backpacks won't have unlimited inventory."
Everyone was a little panicked at this moment. It was only because of the unlimited supply in their personal backpacks that they were assured that their equipment would not be stolen. After all, it was more reassuring to keep it on one's body than anywhere else.
