Chapter 239: White Orchid Rain Festival (Twenty-one)
If the static and shining antique display cabinet was like the stars in the universe, it would give people a magnificent feeling.
Then when the system released a special side quest, the green light suddenly became violent and became strange.
However, this camp selection task is not released for all players.
After all, as the new owner of this pawn shop, Nan Huan always has some privileges or restrictions, so the prompts given to her by the system are also different from those of other players.
[As the current owner of the pawn shop, you have no right to choose and are in Camp 1 by default. Please actively resolve the crisis of the pawn shop and become a qualified owner.]
Having lost the right to choose, Nan Huan didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, when she saw that the Gambler's Guild President was shocked and worried at first, and then showed a look of joy and a sense of having survived a disaster after the mission was announced, she felt that this special side quest did not seem so bad.
The antique display cabinet was shaking more and more violently, as if the pawn tickets were going to jump off in the next second.
[Please make your selection within five minutes, the countdown begins...]
The system gave plenty of time, but no one, whether it was the Guild Alliance or the Gambler's Guild Leader, reacted quickly.
From the perspective of normal customers like the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President, they had no idea that the young lady had become the new owner of the pawn shop, and had no way of choosing a camp and could only be forced to become a member of camp one.
They had just pawned something very important to Yizhihua, so it was difficult for them to stand in Yizhihua's camp now.
Especially for the Gambler's Guild President, he has already obtained the fragment of the Totem of Faith, but Yizhihua did not immediately trap himself in the pawn shop. Now there is a camp of unknown beings in the mission camp, and the mission requires helping the other party escape from the control of the pawn shop.
This was exactly the same as what the Gambler's Guild President had predicted about his possible fate. If their mission was successful, perhaps he wouldn't be trapped here. What's worse, if during the mission, something happened to the owner of the pawnshop, or something happened to the pawnshop, then it would be like he had fulfilled a wish for nothing and obtained the fragment of the Totem of Faith.
More importantly, he firmly believed that all the players, including those from the guild alliance, would not choose to help Yizhihua after their important pawned items were taken away.
That is to say, basically all the players are in the same camp, so his chances of winning are greater.
So even though the Gambler's Guild Leader, at this critical moment, could not use his skills due to cooling down, he still confidently chose the camp of unknown existence.
As for the Corpse Chaser's President, he was simply upset that Yizhihua had just taken away two-thirds of his Corpse Chaser's skills. After the Gambler's President got the Faith Totem Fragment, he believed his promise that he had used his skills to judge and that choosing Camp 2 was less risky, so he followed him and chose the Unknown Existence Camp.
The Gambler's Guild President had made all sorts of calculations, but he never expected that the price paid by the four players in the Guild One camp to enter the real pawn shop would be much smaller than theirs.
After all, fundamentally speaking, Beixi’s pawned items have not had the chance to be displayed, while President Alice and President of the Workers’ Guild were let in directly through the eldest lady’s back door.
To be honest, Nan Huan used a piece of faith totem fragment to exchange for everything she has now, but she has now become the new owner of the pawn shop and has already made plans.
"We're going to choose the pawn shop owner's camp?"
The president of the workers' guild was a little puzzled. Although she still had some doubts about her previous experience and didn't quite understand why it went so smoothly, she was also a little puzzled when she heard the eldest lady say to choose camp one. After all, in her opinion, they were more like belonging to the same camp as those unknown beings.
Nan Huan nodded, glanced at the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President not far away, as if afraid that they would overhear, and finally scratched the tip of his nose with his finger, "Well, because I accidentally became the new owner of the pawn shop, I can't choose a camp, so I have to trouble you, and the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President will definitely choose another camp."
These words contained a huge amount of information. Bei Xi raised his eyebrows to show his understanding of the situation.
President Alice and the President of the Workers' Association were both stunned for a long time. After a moment, they understood why the process for letting them in was so smooth.
We all entered the pawnshop together, so how come you suddenly became the new owner?
And what about that fragment of the faith totem?
So the previous mission level was upgraded and forcibly triggered for this reason, right?
President Alice and the president of the working people's association were both terrified, but they didn't know how to start.
Knowing that the two of them and Bei Xi had a lot to ask, but now was not a good time to talk, Nan Huan had to explain, "Choose your camp first, and I'll tell you in detail after you enter the mission."
The three of them naturally had no objection. The Workers' Guild President was originally reluctant to enter this copy, but now she feels that it is worthwhile for her to come. After all, there are not many opportunities to see the world like this.
Nan Huan had no choice, so she took the time to chat with the flower on the back of her neck, "Have you tried it? Still not working?"
She thought it was because of the space just now that caused the flower to only be attached to her body in order to come out.
Now that he has come out, maybe the other party can leave directly, but the other party has not made any movement, and Nan Huan is a little worried.
"No, I tried, but there was a force stopping me, like a rule."
Yizhihua's voice was muffled. The joy she had felt at being rescued by Nanhuan was gone. Being trapped on the other person was indeed not something to be happy about.
"Is it because I can't leave the pawn shop right now that you have to stay here?" Nan Huan asked the system about Yizhihua's situation, but was ignored. She could only comfort Yizhihua, "How about this, you stay here first, and after I complete this special side quest, you can try again after leaving the pawn shop."
"It's the only way."
No matter how reluctant I am, there is no other way now.
Seeing that both parties had made their choices, the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President wanted to come over to build relationships. After all, everyone would be in the same camp soon, and any conflicts they had before would have to focus on this mission first.
But before the two of them got close, the system gave them a critical hit.
[All players have made their choices. Four have chosen Camp One, and two have chosen Camp Two.
Special side quests are about to begin...】
Even though no one was named, when the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President chose their camps, both of them knew each other. It was simply an open book, and there was no need to even check the answers.
Before the two could be surprised, the entire pawn shop began to shake violently.
The pawn tickets on the antique display shelf began to jump as if they sensed something.
Soon, something seemed to fall from the top that was invisible to the naked eye, cutting through the air and heading straight towards everyone.
The roll of pawn tickets expanded in mid-air and became as tall as a five or six-story building in front of everyone. It was filled with black air, making it difficult to see what was written on it.
Before everyone could react, a green light emanated from the pawn ticket, instantly sucking all the players present into the pawn ticket.
Bei Xi was quick to act and immediately grabbed Nan Huan's hand and held him in his arms.
I don’t know if it was because the flower in front seriously delayed the workflow, but the system seemed to be in a hurry. The dazzling light disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Before Nan Huan opened his eyes, he heard a noisy sound.
It is not the kind of noise that is created by cursing and deliberately piling up, but the natural atmosphere of the market, the sounds of hawking and the endless flow of people.
"Is this Bailan City?"
I don’t know if only players from the same camp will be thrown to the same place. In any case, after the Workers’ Guild President opened her eyes, she did not see the Gamblers’ Guild President and the Corpse Drivers’ Guild President. All the people on their side were there, but this location made her feel a little cold. After careful identification, she asked in confusion.
No wonder the president of the workers' union expressed doubts. After all, Nan Huan also found it strange.
Because the Bailan City before them had shed the image of a sandy city in their impression. It now had tall city gate towers, a long and majestic street, and shops lining the streets.
The passers-by no longer had wary looks on their faces, nor did they look at them as if they were prey. At least they looked like normal people.
Bei Xi took a quick look and saw the familiar street layout and the location of the city gate. "It is Bailan City, but it is not from the period we are in. It seems to be after the arrival of the Dragon God, or humans have not yet discovered the dragon clan, and there is no time when both sides will suffer losses."
They had heard the previous legends from Old Man Zhang, so Bei Xi could easily judge from the still ruined city towers what period this was Bai Lan City from.
"If I remember correctly, we just entered a pawn ticket?" President Alice stroked her chin, looking at the scene of people coming and going in front of her, and felt that they were somewhat out of place. "What's going on? Where is the unknown? Or should we look for a pawn shop first? Didn't they say that the pawn shop is in crisis? It looks like everything is going well and peaceful?"
After all, this special side quest was triggered compulsorily. Especially before it was triggered, the system specifically reminded her that the pawnshop area had been upgraded to an S-level dangerous area, so she had already prepared for a big fight as soon as the quest began.
But now it seems that this special mission is not the obvious situation of fierce confrontation between two camps that she had imagined.
"I have a bad feeling," Nan Huan had been silent the whole time, even observing the residents around him. He found that no one was interested in their arrival, and even the sudden appearance of a few of them on the long street did not attract any attention. "The system said in the mission that we have to resolve the crisis of the pawn shop, and the purpose of the other camp is to help the unknown existence escape the control of the pawn shop."
"So what's the problem?"
Alice asked because she didn't understand, not really understanding what the young lady was trying to say.
The president of the workers' union understood the young lady's hidden meaning. "The problem is that we thought the unknown existence would appear in front of us directly, and we wanted to leave the pawn shop by fighting directly. But now it seems that we have to find out who the owner of the pawn ticket we entered is first."
