Chapter 131 Mizuki Private High School (Part 3)
If Morpheus hadn't acted like he was practicing Tai Chi and was talking in circles with Nan Huan before.
But after the other party said this, she seemed not so at ease anymore.
"Miss, you are joking. Who said we are teammates?" She chuckled and explained, "It's just that a dungeon brought together the servants of the First Guild, the Second Guild, the Mechanical Heart, and the Fifth Guild, the Order Without Order. We, the individual players, are a little afraid of the power of the big guilds, so we temporarily formed a group. Why is it said to be so serious?"
"If I really have such ability, why is my guild ranked outside the top 200? The jokes made by the young lady and the guild leaders are a bit too much."
Her explanation was reasonable. After all, apart from the three major guilds, there were more admission letters at the scene. Each guild had four well-known players, and the remaining admission letters were all obtained by some individual players who fought hard for them.
"Could it be that the three guilds currently ranked in the top five are ready to unite, and that's why they just staged this act together with the Assassin's Guild Leader, in an attempt to alienate us ordinary players?"
Morpheus's few casual words immediately reversed the situation.
Originally in the game lobby, the players were already dissatisfied because they were unable to snatch the admission letters from Guild One and Guild Two due to their powerful combat power.
In addition, the eldest lady already has three "Faith Totem Fragments" in her hand, and the players can no longer take the so-called fair competition in this copy with a normal mind.
And now it seems that no matter whether Guild One and Guild Two are the masterminds behind the previous incidents, they have already been in a cooperative relationship to some extent.
This is not good news for the remaining players.
In addition to these copies, there is also a not-so-good-reputation Order of Disorder.
Therefore, based on this complexity, every player who nearly paid with his life to get the admission letter, because he had no companions and no power to rely on, and in such a situation where the gap in strength was obviously huge, obviously believed the words of the weaker ones more.
The game rankings cannot be faked, and neither can the guild rankings. If a guild that has always been ranked outside the top 200 had such power, its position should have been changed long ago.
Moreover, some of the players present have already started to look for the identities of those people quickly.
Except for a few lucky players who were able to grab the admission letter from so many players in the game hall because they happened to catch the countdown, the rest all had some ability.
If they want to investigate a few people, there are naturally other ways. They certainly don't want to pin their hopes and right to know on the hands of the Second Guild.
"Since the guild leaders all have their own opinions, we scattered players must look at the evidence. According to reliable information, the players around Guild Leader Murphys are not from the Moon in the Water Guild. Moreover, if Guild Leader Murphys is so capable, it would not be your turn to take three pieces of the Faith Totem fragments alone, right?"
A player in the crowd stood up and refuted Nan Huan's groundless accusation.
Bei Xi's face turned very ugly. Liu Shen had already found out the investigation results of that player.
They had considered this result at the beginning, and just gave a friendly reminder considering that the players were unaware of the situation. They didn't expect that not only would they not appreciate it, but they would also point the finger at Nanhuan.
But Bei Xi hadn't taken any action yet. When Twelve heard someone speaking disrespectfully to the eldest lady, he was about to roll up his sleeves for the second time, but was stopped by the eldest lady again.
"We are just giving you a friendly reminder. Please make your own judgment."
Nan Huan was not annoyed, because he understood that the people around Morpheus must have arranged it deliberately, or the other party had thought about it from the beginning. This was probably the third hand.
However, what Nan Huan couldn't understand now was that, according to the information that Liushen had just found out, the Moon in the Water Guild had not made any major moves during this period of time. Even when the faith totem fragments appeared for the first time, they did not take any action.
It can be said that there was no sign at all. He suddenly became interested in the fragments of the faith totem, and it had some close connection with the system, which led to the incident in the game hall.
Taken together, these actions don't seem like something a leader of a small guild that ranks so low would do.
This copy has just begun, she is not afraid that Morpheus will reveal some handle, he is just more interested in her identity.
"Forget it. Good words can't persuade a damned ghost."
At some point, Barbie walked up to the eldest lady and made a sarcastic remark.
In fact, it was because of what she said at the beginning that the president and the eldest lady were willing to cooperate with her in acting out such a scene. Now the target has fallen on the eldest lady, and she feels a little guilty.
Because based on what Alice said, she actually wanted to unite all the players who entered this copy and avoid mutual destruction, so she wanted to expose Morpheus' conspiracy at the beginning and give the players a warning.
But she underestimated the attraction of the Faith Totem Fragments to the players, and overestimated the players' trust in Guild One and Guild Two.
On the contrary, this absolute advantage is, to some extent, a silent oppression to those in a lower position.
Bei Xi's eyes were not very kind. After glancing at the player who had just said this, he gently took Nan Huan's hand and said, "Let's go in directly."
The assassin leader of the Fifth Guild, who had been left out, did not look very happy now.
He has always been the one who fooled others, and no one else has ever fooled him, especially the two presidents on the opposite side. They should have noticed it since he followed them in the amusement park, but they didn't say it out loud until they finished the drama of catching Morpheus.
One is to warn those stupid players, and the other is to cut off the opportunity of cooperation with Morpheus in advance and reduce the cohesion of their opponents. After all, a three-way balance of power is always the most stable state.
"President, we've been tricked."
Seeing that the president had already brought his people in, a gentle man with glasses beside the assassin president, who had watched the whole process, came over with a not very friendly look.
The assassin didn't say anything, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the other party's hindsight behavior. Seeing this, the latter quickly added another sentence.
"We have to get the three pieces of the faith totem in the hands of the young lady eventually. We are in opposition anyway, so we might as well cooperate with them temporarily."
As he spoke, he looked at Morpheus in front of him and found that because of the previous episode, several players had already rushed over to the other side, seemingly introducing themselves and discussing cooperation.
Their guild had a bad reputation, so the attempt to sow discord was intended to attract some other players to their cause. However, their efforts were taken advantage of by others, and they must be feeling unhappy.
"They won't cooperate with us," the assassin also glanced at Morpheus in front of him and gave a negative answer, "That woman is not simple. Guild One and Guild Two are indeed unaware of the matter in the game hall. Although the players around Morpheus are not players of the Water Moon Guild on the surface, they have been standing together since they arrived at the school gate. The remaining three people are obviously following Morpheus' orders. They have already faced other accusations just now, and they didn't explain. They don't seem like ordinary players at all. It is obvious that Morpheus is ordering them, so the other party is very likely the mastermind behind the matter in the game hall. They can know in advance that the system will release a new copy and can seize the initiative. Do you think they will cooperate with ordinary players?"
"Is fake cooperation still cooperation? Or is it really irrelevant whether it is cooperation or not?" The man adjusted his glasses. "Anyway, judging from her expression, she is not satisfied with the people from Guild One and Guild Two. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The harder they fight, the better it is for us."
The assassin understood what he meant immediately and patted him on the shoulder. "Doctor, go get in touch with the remaining players. There are so many of them, there must be a few who don't want to get involved in this mess. Keep an eye out."
At this point, he stopped and looked at the two people behind him. "You two should remember this. From now on, keep silent. Don't try to stand out. Just watch them fight first."
"Yes, President."
The people behind him gave answers in unison, and the assassin was finally a little satisfied.
Maybe because today is the first day of school, the entrance of Shuimu Private High School is unusually busy. In addition to players like Nan Huan, there are also many NPCs, all crowded together, which feels a bit like the beginning of the school season.
"Wow, this school is really luxurious, much richer than our shabby high school. Look at those big gold-plated characters at the entrance. It's almost like they wrote 'I'm Rich' on the school name."
Twelve's attention was quickly attracted by the school gate which was several dozen meters wide.
Liu Shen heard more curiosity in her words, and no self-pity on his face. He just scratched the back of her head and said nothing.
Nan Huan was a little curious.
"Twelve, this copy is exactly the same age as you. How are your grades?"
"Ah? The copy is related to high school, not necessarily to study, Miss." Twelve's face wrinkled into a bun when he heard this. "Besides, this is a private high school. It shouldn't be a big problem for students in private high schools to have poor grades. From what I learned in the car just now, my character seems to be pretty good. Although my family is not as rich as yours, I seem to be a real estate developer. Anyway, I am not short of money."
Nan Huan smiled and did not correct her, but instead thought of another thing.
"Did you encounter any strange things while you were in the car, or were there any NPCs in the car that you were familiar with?"
"No, why do you ask?"
Twelve was a little confused.
Liu Shen also said that they were just ordinary NPCs and they didn't even have much normal communication. He just introduced them briefly and said that it took some effort to send the child to Shuimu Private High School, so they had to seize this opportunity. When asked other questions, he refused to say more.
"Well, the situation that the president and I encountered was a little different. It might just be a coincidence. Don't take it to heart."
Nan Huan waved his hand without further explanation.
Bei Xi knew that Nan Huan was not telling the truth. It was not because she wanted to hide it from Twelve and Six Gods, but the matter was still unclear at the moment. Moreover, based on the current clues, the housekeeper did not seem to be so involved with the school, so she did not say it clearly for the time being, as she did not want to worry them.
There were several beautiful girls standing at the door with colorful banners hanging on them that read "Warmly welcome new students"; the girls looked like students.
When she saw Nan Huan and the others, she came up to them with a smile, "Classmate, are you the new girls who just enrolled this year?"
"Yes."
"Oh, then please show us your admission letter."
If Liushen or Nineteen were present, they would be the ones to handle such matters. Liushen quickly took out the admission letters of four people and handed them over to the other party for verification.
This action made Nan Huan a little stunned. Logically speaking, they could enter this dungeon because they had received the admission letter. In other words, every player who entered the dungeon had an admission letter. What was the significance of this check?
Is it just a simple process and I misunderstood it?
"There is no problem with the admission letter. Please wait here for a moment until all the new students in your batch arrive, and then go in together."
Soon, the remaining players, one after another, arrived at the door to check their admission letters.
Nan Huan watched from the side and found that there were no problems with the admission letters until the last batch of people were let in.
Bei Xi and Liu Shen said at the same time, "There is a problem with the number of people."
"Hmm? How..."
Nan Huan didn’t quite understand what “there was a problem with the number of people” meant, but she hadn’t finished asking.
The girl who had just checked her admission letter stood up.
"Sorry, everyone, the number of new students is not right. We received a notice from the school that there are only 30 new students in today's batch, but now there are 31 admission letters and 31 people left."
When these words were spoken, except for Bei Xi and Liu Shen, the rest of the players were stunned.
Then everyone looked around in panic, trying to find the extra person.
Because of the previous incident, except for a few people from the big guilds who were familiar with each other, the remaining single players did not know each other, so no one knew that there was an extra person among the players.
In addition to the mess at the school gate and the presence of many NPCs, everyone's attention was focused on who was the mastermind behind the incident in the game hall, and no one noticed that the number of players was wrong.
"I have checked the admission letters and can't find any problems at the moment, so please show us your unique student cards that the school makes for each new student to prove your identity."
NPCs diligently pushed the progress of the game forward, not caring about the panic of the players at all.
They were already troubled enough because there was a mastermind in the team, and this copy gathered three presidents of the top five guilds and the mysterious Morpheus, and now one more person had sneaked in.
It's simply internal troubles and internal troubles, and the buffs have been maxed out.
What is a student card?
Since they entered this copy, there has been no news mentioning this word.
Everyone was frantically searching their bodies, but since today was the first day of school, the only uniform they hadn't received was their school uniforms, so they only had their own clothes on them, not to mention their student ID cards.
Nan Huan didn't need to touch himself to know that he didn't have this thing on his body, and from the current situation, it seemed that no one had it.
She finally understood why there was this inspection notice step.
But she was quite calm in her heart, and seemed very sure about what would happen next.
Sure enough, when everyone was in chaos, the system finally went online.
