Chapter 107
The story began half an hour ago.
When Xia Mo pinched the chin of the fraudulent sorcerer and asked him when he would return the money to the members of Qingyao Zhishang, the two of them received a warning from the system at the same time, saying that they had seriously violated the peace regulations by fighting in the royal city, and that they were about to be sentenced and punished.
The officers and soldiers in the royal city gathered very quickly. Although Xia Mo had the opportunity to escape, he had no intention of escaping at all. He calmly allowed himself to be handcuffed.
She didn't run away, and the deceitful sorcerer who was in his control naturally had nowhere to hide, so he was also taken away.
Fighting in the royal city is no small matter. It is much more serious than what Xia Mo did in the town of Buluo. After all, this is the top capital city in the continent of Pergas, and all management is strictly carried out.
Players who have experienced brawls in small towns and cities know too well how much suffering it is to violate the rules. Not to mention being detained for 3 days and unable to complete any tasks, the key is that the sin value is really difficult to wash away!
They are not like Mo Se, who always gets the first kill and gains thousands of world reputation points at once, and can easily cleanse the sin value dozens of times.
They are just ordinary players, with no first kills, no kill titles, and to put it bluntly, they can't even eat shit while it's still hot. With that, what reputation can they use to wash it?
Of course, some people will definitely ask, there are more ways to cleanse sin points than just using reputation to offset them, can you also pay for it?
Please, I've already said that they are just ordinary middle- and lower-level players, how could they be willing to spend this money?
The economic system of "Protoss" is very interesting, and the price of items will increase over time.
For example, when players were still in the Novice Village, the price of cleansing 1 sin point was 10 gold coins. Now, after more than two months of development, 10 gold coins have been premiumized to 20 gold coins.
This is a huge sum of money for ordinary people like them!
Then the only option left is whipping. It's true that some people who violate the rules of fighting are so shameless as to choose this option in order to save money.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Being whipped in public was bad enough, but the most hateful thing was that the NPC who whipped them actually asked for a fee in private.
As the name suggests, if you pay them this fee, they can pump them more gently and leave them with half a blood vessel in the end.
If you don't give it to me, I'm sorry, I will drain you to death every time. When your health bar is just in the single digits, I will ask you to drink red medicine to fill up your health bar before trying again.
This will be repeated until the person is forced to beg for mercy, and then the NPC will stop.
So you see! How dare poor players cross this line? Crossing it would only bring pain upon themselves!
Therefore, since the royal city was opened, the players have been very disciplined. No matter how big the grudge is, they have to go outside the city to resolve it.
Therefore, when the system issued an announcement to the world, informing the world that the warlock and Xia Mo were fighting in the royal city, the players in the royal city immediately started shouting.
"Oh my god, there's a fight in the royal city. How big of a grudge and injustice is this?"
"The last time I heard about a judgement for a fight was back in Buluo Town. Ah, I'm dreaming of returning to the Novice Village."
"Buluo Town? Oh, I remember now. She seemed to have participated in that fight as well. 1VN is still awesome!"
"That's not the point, my friend. The point is about that sorcerer called Bobobo. How did he offend Mo Se? I don't think Mo Se is the kind of person who doesn't show mercy..."
"She's still ruthless, isn't she? Sister, you probably don't know what she did in Buluo Town before. She'd take over players and dismantle their equipment every few days. She was so ruthless!"
"There must be a reason for being so ruthless, right? Who would rape others for no reason?"
"Yeah, I think Mo Se's character is still okay. He's not as bad as you say."
Hearing someone casually slandering on the street, several players stood up without hesitation and fought back.
The person being criticized glanced at them both and sneered, "Only idiots like you trust her character. Be careful or you might get sold out one day and end up helping count the money without even realizing it."
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, several companions nearby quickly stopped the man.
"Forget it, forget it. Don't give a cynical guy like him a look, or he'll get more excited the more he talks."
"That's right, there's no need to pay attention to him, let's go."
The fire at the scene was extinguished, and several players who defended Xia Mo began to discuss her capture.
As they chatted, someone suddenly shouted that there was an inside story and urged everyone to check it out. As staunch fans of the boss, how could they miss such news? Immediately, they flocked to the forum post.
Seeing this, they instantly released the frustration they had just felt from being questioned. They opened the post and strode up to the people who were criticizing them.
"Who just called us idiots? I think you're the biggest idiot! Come on, open your stupid eyes and read the post to see why the big guys are fighting!"
"You're such a brainless troll. Come back and troll me when you have a full brain in your next life! Tui!"
The male player who was suddenly surrounded by people turned pale. He hurriedly clicked on the post and quickly read the content. Then, his face became even uglier.
"How could this be..." the male player looked shocked.
I thought I could make a big fuss about it by catching her by the tail, but who knew that the real reason for her fight was to catch the fraud case that had caused a lot of controversy a few days ago!
Below the post, aside from the few comments in the first few floors, the rest were almost entirely filled with cheers and joy! Especially those players who had been cheated, their eyes welling with excitement, calling on Mo Se to seek justice for them!
Of course, the replies weren't all complimentary. One comment mocked her for always stirring up trouble, but within minutes, that comment was blasted to pieces, and even... the account was directly deleted?!
Looking at this scene, the male player's heart trembled with fear. Damn, is this the end of offending her crazy fans?
"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute? Didn't you just challenge us? Come on, if you have the guts, fight us outside the city!"
A man of integrity has nothing to fear, and since their levels were indeed higher than the male player in front of them, several of them shouted loudly and threatened to make him pay.
When the male player heard this, he trembled even more violently. He lowered his head and apologized hastily, then slipped away with a whoosh.
Back to the post itself, although everyone was very happy that the liar was caught by Xia Mo, they felt sorry for her when they thought that she was captured by the NPC in the royal city in order to catch the scammer in the act.
"Hey, there was a fight in the royal city. I'm afraid Mo Se will get a heavy sentence this time."
"Can the players sign a petition together? Saying that this all happened for a reason?"
"That makes sense, but...how do we contact the victims?"
"You're so stupid! Aren't there a ton of people who've been scammed before under this post? Our entire victims' alliance will definitely respond!"
Just when a bunch of players were seriously coming up with ideas, the system issued a new announcement.
[After review by the Royal City Security and Information Committee, it was determined that the player Mo Se's reasons for fighting were legitimate and reasonable, and he was acquitted!]
[After review and determination by the Royal City Security and Information Committee, the player Pineapple is suspected of using professional skills to commit fraud multiple times, and the cumulative amount of fraud is huge. The Security Committee will forcibly recover the fraudulent funds and return them to the deceived players. At the same time, punitive measures such as deducting world reputation, deducting gold coins, lowering levels, and canceling relevant Royal City titles will be taken.]
If the first announcement of acquittal was a pleasant surprise that made everyone cheer, then the second one added more fuel to the flames of celebration!
"Well done! So satisfying!" Players on the street applauded. "Next time, let's see who dares to use these scams again. The NPCs from the Royal City Security Committee will punish them until they're left with nothing but their pants!"
"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. He deserves it!"
"Wow, I just received the money I was scammed out of. Thank you, Master Mo Se! Thank you for getting justice for us!"
Other players also received the money they were cheated of one after another, and for a while the screens were filled with gratitude from all over the world.
While expressing their gratitude, some cautious players suddenly asked a question. Although they were caught and punished this time, there might be Liar No. 2 or Liar No. 3 appearing in the future... If they are also Night Elf Warlocks like the Pineapple who was caught this time, and have also learned [Illusion], how should they guard against them?
That's a good question.
Xia Mo watched as everyone kept tagging her, asking for a solution. Without holding back, she replied directly: "Go find the goblin Knu, 3 kilometers outside the East City Gate, and buy an item called [Water of Dispersion]. Spray it on yourself before the transaction to dispel the illusion."
This is also the reason why she was not led into a trap by Pineapple. After all, the Night Elves' Warlock's [Illusion] is actually a debuff, but this debuff does not deduct blood or dunk, it only confuses people's minds.
If the player is a priest, he can use the [Holy Light Shroud] which is specifically designed to dispel debuffs to dispel it; or the warlock player can cast [Darkness Dispelling] on himself beforehand, which can also make the illusion spell ineffective.
It’s a pity that Xia Mo is not good at either profession, so he can only solve the problem through props.
[Dispelling Water] is not a special item. When players play the game later and experience the pitfalls of the Night Elves' Illusion Spell, they will find out that this item is useful, so Xia Mo doesn't mind saying it out.
And even if she pointed out this clear path, it doesn't mean that players can buy it from Knu.
As mentioned before, Knu is a guy who looks down on people and has a bad temper. If the player can't control him, he will control them in minutes and end up making a big mistake.
The Pineapple Pineapple scam ended here, and his gaming life returned to normal.
This week, Xia Mo still participated in the sea adventure mission, but because Fenghuo, the European Emperor, was busy mining, he did not come to participate in the event. Taotao, the second European Emperor with stable performance, also had to temporarily withdraw because there were too many things to do in the guild.
The strength of the seagoing team has been reduced, and the new teammate is even more crazy than Xia Mo. The number of fish he caught in one trip can be counted on two hands.
Everyone on the boat was helpless and said they would give up on ranking in this week's activities, and would be done with just getting into the top 20.
Xia Mo also admitted defeat and turned to devote himself to the new task - physical strengthening.
The "Physical Fitness Enhancement Atlas" is unlocked every 10 levels. The last time Xia Mo improved her physical fitness was shortly after she reached level 10. Now she is level 30, and she is two tasks short of completing them.
Seeing that the mecha competition preliminaries were approaching, in order to test the results of her mental strength improvement, and also to make the capital planet pay attention to their Alman Star, so as to inject capital into the planet and support the better development of Alman Star, Xia Mo had already decided when she signed up that she wanted the Yayi Military Academy to make a brilliant debut in the first year of the launch of "Protoss"!
She clicked on the long-forgotten physical fitness encyclopedia, and the exquisite parchment book automatically turned to the second page for her. Since she was over level 20, she could also turn to the third page.
Xia Mo went to look at the third page, which was a little more difficult. At just one glance, she recognized where the mission location was.
——Blade's Edge Fjord.
A place that sounds dangerous just by the name.
