Chapter 97 Don’t Get Close to Me
The attack power of the skills used by these low-level talent patrol NPCs is not very strong for them, and the control time is also very short. Lu Jiu and his team can still cope with it for the time being.
What was more unexpected was that these NPCs were now attacking indiscriminately, treating both residents of Longjiao City and the two outsiders in the same way.
That means beating.
It was because they were both being beaten that Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun were able to cope with it.
The residents of Longjiao City who were also beaten were very depressed.
"Hey! We were forced to join the battle, why are you attacking us too!"
"We are residents of Longjiao City. Don't hit us! I haven't had time to replenish my energy yet!"
However, the NPC said: I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen!
Anyway, everyone will be beaten.
Shen Jufeng made a beautiful sword flower and fought against an NPC who also used a sword.
I have to say that the NPC's weapons are very good. Even low-level NPCs are not at all inferior when fighting against the bronze-level weapons in Shen Jufeng's hands.
Lu Jiu mainly dealt with an archer NPC whose bow and arrow had a stiffness effect. She was shot by the NPC with several arrows and could not move once the effect was triggered. Fortunately, the control time was very short, less than a second.
Zhuang Yun's giant sword wielding became more and more majestic. Compared to the awkwardness when he first used the giant sword, it looked much more pleasing to the eye now.
But NPCs are just NPCs. When fighting with them, you can't see their attributes such as health or other attributes. It's just a battle, and it feels like the fight will never end.
When He Ange came back, he saw the chaos in the city. He was familiar with the ordinary members of his team, but the other three surprised him.
That person was clearly an outsider who had been to Longjiao City before, especially Lu Jiu. It was this person who led the way when he and other city lords went to Xuantian City. Unexpectedly, he came again today and directly fought with the NPCs of his city-state.
He was slightly annoyed and shouted loudly: "Alright! Stop it!"
The patrolling NPCs followed the city lord's instructions and stopped their attacks, and Lu Jiu and the others also stopped.
It seems that the city lord is back.
He Ange walked over with a gloomy face, and the other team members realized that something had happened in the city.
Seeing that all his team members were injured, while Lu Jiu and others did not look embarrassed, his mood suddenly became even more depressed.
"I've met all three of you before, especially Miss Lu. Why are you causing trouble in my city now?"
He immediately blamed Lu Jiu and others without asking what had happened to his own team members.
Lu Jiu put away his weapon and said calmly, "There was just some misunderstanding. We didn't know that the stalls in Longjiao City actually required us to buy anything just by asking the price. The price was high, and I couldn't afford it. The stall owner thought we were deliberately looking for trouble, so he wanted to attack us. We couldn't just stand there and get beaten."
He Ange understood what was going on. Some of his men did this, but there had been several such disputes when the conflict first broke out in the city. Now everyone knew that some stall owners were overbearing, so they stopped interfering.
Now Lu Jiu and others are being treated as fat sheep. His teammates wanted to take advantage of them, but they didn't expect to hit a wall.
He Ange was not at all disappointed. He just raised the corner of his mouth and put on a gentle attitude. "Since it's a misunderstanding, we can talk it out. After all, we are in the city. The city-state has a ban on fighting, so they are unlikely to really start a fight."
Lu Jiu also put on a dramatic performance, deliberately covering her mouth and exclaiming, "But that person said he was the city lord's man. He had every reason and qualification to say that we were deliberately causing trouble and wanted the NPC to deal with us. So they had no choice but to fight."
He Ange's mouth twitched. It seemed that his team members needed to be disciplined, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of people from outside the city.
Lu Jiu continued to ask, "Do City Lord He's men really have such great power that they can arrest anyone they want?"
What else could he say? He could only shake his head, "How is that possible? The NPCs in the city only obey my orders."
Lu Jiu then revealed an expression of realization, "So it turned out to be a fox borrowing the power of the tiger to intimidate us. We are cowards, otherwise we wouldn't have taken action."
The big man who was the instigator had already run away and was scared by Shen Jufeng.
He Ange's mouth twitched. You still say you are cowardly? Are you cowardly enough to go against the power of a city lord?
I thought so in my heart, but I had to say politely, "I didn't discipline my subordinates well enough, but I did beat them. I'll treat you all to a meal, and we'll just consider it a friendship."
Lu Jiu and the others just smiled meaningfully, wanting to brush the matter aside so lightly, and He Ange actually said that.
Lu Jiu: "No need. Actually, I just wanted to see what Jinghe District was like. I happened to be walking to Longjiao City and wanted to take a look. I didn't expect something like this to happen. Like City Lord He said, we've fought, and since it's just a misunderstanding, we'll leave first."
Anyway, there is nothing worth buying in this crappy place, and even if you go to other city-states, you may not be able to buy it.
He Ange was still shameless and slightly blocked the way of the three people. "Since we meet again, it is fate. Please do me a favor and have a meal with us. Let's become friends."
The words were so frivolous and offensive that Lu Jiu could barely control her erected fists. She still remembered how this guy had the audacity to ask her about the NPC in the drugstore.
As He Ange was about to reach out and pat Lu Jiu's shoulder, Shen Jufeng's well-defined hand blocked the pig's trotter and said calmly, "Just talk, no need to use your hands."
Zhuang Yun, who was standing next to him, also stared at the group of people with a wary look on his face, holding the giant sword tightly in his hand.
The owner of the pig's trotter was so embarrassed that he almost lost face. His subordinates were standing next to him, and this was the first time he had been slapped in the face like this.
He Ange pulled back his hand with a gloomy face, looking at Shen Jufeng with ill intentions in his eyes, "Since you don't want to, then forget it."
Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy's pig's trotter dared to touch her, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't jump up and slap him in the face.
"Goodbye then." Goodbye!
The three of them left in style. He Ange's men couldn't help but ask, "Boss, they're so disrespectful and even fought in Longjiao City. Why don't we just join forces with the patrolling NPCs to kill them?"
Although their members were at fault for what happened today, these three were too arrogant. They dared to take action in the city and now they are not giving the city lord any face.
He Ange raised his eyelids and glanced at the subordinate who was speaking. "Less trouble is worse than more trouble. The most important thing now is to collect resources and make winter equipment."
The subordinate could only nod. The weather was getting colder and colder. It was still autumn, but it felt like winter. They had too few warm clothes.
If there are not enough supplies, we can only spend the whole winter staying at home and burning firewood.
Besides, Lu Jiu is not someone to be trifled with. The things in Xuantian City are so good, and these are better than theirs starting with equipment.
"But boss, we don't have enough firewood. Winter lasts for three months. If we burn firewood non-stop all day, the firewood we have collected will only last for less than a month and a half."
This was the firewood he collected himself, and he had no idea how much firewood other teammates had.
Some people were dissatisfied when they thought about this. "It was those ordinary people who worked so hard to collect so much firewood, but they didn't sell any of it. I want to see if these people will die holding the firewood when the beast tide comes one day."
As he spoke, his expression was a little distorted. He looked down upon ordinary residents and felt that they were like ants and that they could only survive by relying on them.
