Chapter 83
The preparation time was about a week. Su Xingyuan and Xu Banmeng confirmed the departure time, and Tongtianlou began to arrange Bai Wei's identity.
Of course, in order to ensure sufficient secrecy, the people who did these things were all Xu Banmeng's most trusted confidants.
Tongtian Tower had no aversion to this matter, but was very proactive in it - Su Xingyuan would be going along anyway, so it would be better to do him a favor and get closer to him.
Suxing Principle received a letter from An Qian.
In addition to exploring the map, Su Xingyuan likes to stay in various high-rise buildings. After all, the view is best at high places. At this moment, he was sitting on the rooftop of Tongtian Tower, checking the range of the map he had lit up, and then he heard the little black dragon roar.
Su Xingyuan raised his eyes slightly and saw a little white bird suddenly appear, holding the letter in its beak and handing it to him.
Seeing the black-haired boy get the letter, the little white bird trembled in the face of the black dragon cub's eager gaze and disappeared in a panic.
Su Xingyuan opened the letter.
After reading the first sentence, he instantly guessed who the NPC delivering the letter was.
"Dear Savior, I regret that I was not able to stay with you after we parted at the Yinglong Guild Base. Please believe me, I care about your safety more than the entire Savior Protection Association!"
"Well, actually I have something serious to say... I've been jumping around in China and abroad all day because there's a group of people who might threaten your personal safety. After all, we're called the Savior Protection Association, and we must do our part for your growth~"
"Those bastards aren't just from the Demon King's City. We've long suspected they were colluding with each other, but unfortunately we can't do anything but contain them... Damn it, sooner or later I'm going to kill all of these bastards!"
"You must have known about the existence of the Demon King's City by now. With your ability to act, you must have been thinking about how to attack them. Good luck! You will definitely succeed!"
"——Respectfully submitted by your loyal follower An Qian."
After reading the letter quickly, Su Xingyuan finally summarized what he needed from a bunch of useless compliments.
He had previously felt that the "Savior Protection Association" should not be just a background board, and that its participation in the game's plot seemed a little too low, probably because he had not yet reached the level of plot exploration - just like the air wall in the game, which says "This area is not open, please come back to explore later."
Then the arrival of this letter may very well indicate that the game process of Suxingyuan has entered a new stage, or at least has completely entered the main line.
Su Xingyuan looked at his own level.
[Current level: lv.35]
The maximum level in the game should not be level 100, but Su Xingyuan is not sure whether it is lower or higher than level 100. However, he is more inclined to believe that the upper limit of player level in human state is likely to be below level 100.
It seems that level 35 is a dividing point. In order to obtain this letter, the improvement of the player's level is one of the conditions, and the degree of contact and understanding of the Demon City is also taken into account.
He dropped the letter back into his backpack.
Anyway, these plots are far away from him, so Su Xingyuan continued to look at his map.
There had been no special plots in the past few days, and he was too lazy to go dungeon-hunting anymore. Ever since he had collected almost all the common types of dungeons, he suddenly lost motivation.
Now only those special dungeons can attract him, but he knows that dungeons do not appear often and can only be encountered by chance.
The player sighed with some regret.
If his thoughts were posted online, he would probably be criticized by some righteous people - for NPCs, the emergence of special dungeons is not a good thing.
Su Xingyuan, who had nothing to do, ran all over City A, including the surrounding City B and City C, and lit up the maps of all three cities.
It is very rare to meet a Red Name in the city. Maybe because of the failure of the attack on the Hunter Exchange Conference, the forces belonging to the Demon King's City in Country C have temporarily gone into hiding. Su Xingyuan has been running for so long without seeing a Red Name, but has received many small tasks for the convenience of the people.
These small commissions will also be rewarded with gold coins, and sometimes Su Xingyuan will also receive some small items, such as "cat fur gloves", "star hairpins", "star earrings" and the like.
The reason why Su Xingyuan likes stand-alone games is that he is the only player. He will not be disturbed by any other players. He can play the game however he wants and do whatever he wants. It is very free.
After getting a little tired of killing all the time, running around the maps and doing small tasks can be quite relaxing.
After once again helping a hostess deliver her soup to the seat of a senior high school student who had a bad stomach and was studying hard, he was stopped by these high school students.
"Excuse me, are you a Suxingyuan Hunter?"
The boy who took the food box showed a very pleasantly surprised expression, and said with some hesitation: "Actually, today is my birthday... Today is the best birthday I've ever had! Thank you!"
Su Xingyuan's gaze fell on this NPC. Thinking that he had just finished the college entrance examination, he couldn't help but feel a little curious, that wonderful feeling of subtle overlap between the game and reality.
"Are you doing the test paper?" The black-haired boy bent down without any sense of distance. His beautiful emerald cat eyes moved towards his desk and his gaze fell on the test paper, seeming to be a little curious.
The high school student was so nervous that his face turned red. He wanted to cover his paper to hide the score that made him feel ashamed. He whispered, "Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't do well in the exam this time..."
The black-haired boy blinked.
He was puzzled and asked, "Why are you saying sorry to me?"
I don't care at all.
Before the high school student could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the other party naturally took his test paper, and even stole a pen from his deskmate, and started writing on his test paper without thinking at all.
Is this a signature? The high school student immediately thought of this, but he had to revise the paper before submitting it, so what should he do?
However, before he could react, the black-haired hunter returned the test paper to him.
"It seems like I haven't done a test paper for a long time, and my hands are itching." He walked to the window and said with a smile, "Happy birthday."
Almost the entire class gathered around the high school student's desk and looked at his test paper.
The questions he got wrong were all written out using the simplest ideas, and the parts involving calculations even had direct answers. After all, with the speed the black-haired hunter was doing these questions, he had no time to fiddle with them.
The boys and girls looked at each other silently.
——Could it be that a genius with explosive fighting power is also a genius in studying? The other person even looks younger than them.
Which window did God close for him!
One of the male students asked tentatively: "...For example, aesthetics?"
The students all thought of the face that shocked the world that day, and fell into silence: "..."
It has to be said that in this regard, the Xingyuan Hunter is also quite talented.
It's just a talent that is very harmful to people's eyes and brains.
*
After completing the task, Su Xingyuan obtained [Intelligence Supplement Soup*1] this time.
It fits the mission characteristics very well.
If Su Xingyuan had known in the early days that he could obtain small props by completing these daily tasks, he would have definitely taken on all the tasks he could in J City.
However, thinking of J City, Su Xingyuan finally remembered the friend function that he had ignored for a long time, as well as the brother and sister NPC he met at that time.
Forgive the players' indifference. There are really too many things to explore in the open world. In comparison, the NPCs encountered in the two novice villages really cannot occupy too much of the players' thinking space. Even Su Xingyuan, who has an excellent memory, can easily forget that he has a good friend.
He opened the friends interface.
The only friend "Xin Yunxi" was lying alone in the list, but her avatar was still in color, proving that she was still alive and well.
I pulled up the map again and clicked to track my friend, and I was still in the small apartment of the Xin brothers and sisters in J City.
Seeing that she was doing well, Su Xingyuan closed the panel and prepared to visit his old friend when he had time.
But... not now.
【See you at the old city wall】
Bai Wei's cell phone dinged and he received only one message.
The black-haired boy curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Interesting thing, here it comes.
He stood up, dusted himself off, and then jumped down with an expressionless face.
There was clearly a trace when he jumped down, but when he reached mid-air, the dark figure disappeared instantly.
On the street not far away, a rotatable camera emitting red light seemed to pause slightly.
At this time, Su Xingyuan had already arrived at an alley far away from the bustling place.
He put a mask over his face and then tore off his invisibility cloak.
【Name: Invisibility Cloak】
[Description: As long as you put on this dress, you will be able to completely disappear on a visual level]
It seems that the invisibility cloak is a relatively powerful prop. In fact, in the world view of the game, hunters do not rely on vision but breath and magic to detect a person. If one's own strength is not enough, putting on the invisibility cloak is just to deceive ordinary people. Therefore, the selling price is not expensive, only 800 gold.
After seeing it in the mall, Su Xingyuan bought it immediately.
The time he spent running around to complete missions was not in vain. Although there was a small map, he was better at memorizing the actual map in his mind, and would subconsciously pay attention to landmark buildings and surveillance devices.
In reality, Su Xingyuan is very security-conscious. As a high school student majoring in liberal arts who lives alone, he never goes to places where there are no surveillance. If conditions permit, he will maintain a vigilant safe distance from strangers.
Therefore, he naturally discovered something that ordinary hunters would hardly notice -
Those cameras were tracking his whereabouts.
Most hunters worship the power of force and magic. Their strength puts them at the top of society, and they gradually become contemptuous of technology. Unless they want to do something to avoid being seen, they will not pay any attention to these small cameras.
Therefore, instead of sending people to track and investigate, it is better to use some small technological means to mobilize the most inconspicuous monitoring equipment in these cities.
Unfortunately, the person being monitored at this time was Su Xingyuan.
No matter how careful the person who did it was, and even the surveillance camera controlled the camera not to focus on him so that he would not feel like he was being spied on, Su Xingyuan quickly discovered the matter.
There was no expression on his face. He continued to do his own thing, jumping around on various maps. Even under the camera, he did not hide his actions.
Then, when the people behind the scenes were sure that he had not noticed anything, he suddenly disappeared completely when he jumped off the tallest building in City A.
I believe this is more frightening than the fact that no one was seen in Suxingyuan from the beginning.
This is the surprise that Su Xingyuan gave them.
If you want to play some tricks on the players, you will pay the price.
Facing Bai Wei's face, Su Xingyuan put on his suit and walked leisurely towards the old city wall.
What he had just done could be described as "alerting the enemy", but he was not going to reveal the matter to the Hunter Association, or to Tongtian Tower which had the intention of winning him over.
Firstly, the player prefers to fight alone, and secondly, he does not really trust the internal personnel of the Hunter Association and Tongtian Tower, especially the Hunter Association.
Don’t forget, the B-level hunter he killed at the high-speed rail station still hasn’t been figured out who he belongs to.
And even if I tell them, they probably won't be able to help, and it will only alert the enemy.
Of course - Su Xingyuan didn't think that they were the ones who did it. Although there were not many forces capable of mobilizing city-wide surveillance, he had direct contact with Ji Tianshi and Ning Baiquan, high-level officials of the Hunter Association, many times. He didn't think his vision could be so bad.
Furthermore, Ning Baiquan should be well aware that he is used to disappearing, and surveillance will have no effect on him.
There was no possibility that Tongtian Tower could track him down. They had already reached a cooperation and would act together for some time in the future. There was no need to do so, and it would only create the possibility of angering him.
It can also be seen from the Hunter Exchange Conference that the core members, including Xu Banmeng, have nothing to do with the Demon King's City.
——Yes, you don’t even need to think about it to know that the only organization that has suffered a heavy blow due to the unknown whereabouts of Su Xingyuan and is eager to control his movements is the Demon King’s Castle.
Yes, only the Demon King's City.
So, how did the Demon King's City manage to mobilize city-wide surveillance after suffering an attack?
Without the backing of someone who could rival the Hunter Association in the country... could this really be achieved?
The black-haired boy calmly came to the old city wall and stopped his thoughts that kept extending downwards.
After all, if you think about it further, some people's underwear will be exposed, and then the surprise and excitement when the truth is revealed will certainly lose that feeling.
The mastermind behind the scenes didn't know it yet, but just a small act of surveillance had completely made them naked in Su Xingyuan's eyes.
After all, they were irritated by Su Xingyuan. Most of Country C's years of planning had been destroyed, and they were carrying out new actions. There was really no way they could not take some action.
Moreover, in the eyes of most people, Su Xingyuan is only slightly stronger in combat ability, but he never uses his brain in normal times and acts without any planning or strategy. He just does whatever he wants. He looks very young and extremely unreliable.
He would collect all the wanted criminals' heads at once to earn bounties, disappear at any time and come back injured, and jokingly reveal his terrifying face in front of the world live.
Such a person must be careless, just like Xue Yinglong. Even if he has some tricks, they will definitely not be many.
——These are the popular stereotypes of Su Xingyuan on the Internet.
Su Xingyuan was very sad when he learned about the impression these people made of him.
Is this how he appears in public?
He is obviously a very careful and smart student in real life!
"Bai Wei, why are you so slow?"
A woman's voice brought Su Xingyuan back to his painful state of mind.
The woman looked him up and down, frowned and asked, "What was that expression on your face just now?"
Why does it look... so complicated?
Su Xingyuan blinked and quickly got into the mood: "I'm happy."
The woman didn't believe it and said cautiously: "No, you are not happy, you are clearly in pain just now."
Su Xingyuan: "That's because I found a way to enter Country S, but my pride doesn't allow it."
The woman became a little interested, and her doubts were mostly dispelled. She asked curiously, "What's the solution?"
He calmly replied, "It sneaked in as a gift from Xu Banmeng to Country S."
Woman: “I see.”
…
woman:"???"
"Wait, a gift? What qualifies you for her to take it as a gift?"
Her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Su Xingyuan in disbelief, then she took a few steps back and looked at him carefully for the first time.
...Looking at it this way, why does it feel like Bai Wei has suddenly become much more handsome?
The woman has always known that Bai Wei is good-looking, but to be honest, now that they have entered the Demon King's City, who cares about appearance?
And to be honest, the Bai Wei before was... greasy and inconspicuous, like gray dust, and no one cared about it at all.
But now, the face is still the same, but suddenly he has the temperament of a handsome guy, which makes the face look much more beautiful. This can no longer be explained by simple appearance. The woman just feels that he is radiant and full of damn charm.
【Title: Face-pinching master】
[Description: When equipped with this title, the words spoken by the player will be more influential; charm bonus 30%]
...From this point of view, it does make sense that he was chosen as a gift!
Everyone knows that Xu Banmeng particularly likes handsome men and beautiful women. Even those who want to assassinate her choose to use the beauty trap, and the key is that it works every time.
The woman was convinced.
She groaned and said, "In this case...it seems that we can change our plan slightly."
She patted Su Xingyuan's shoulder with a complicated look and said, "Well done. You must remember that the Demon King's City is our belief. Dignity is nothing. We can even sacrifice our lives!"
Su Xingyuan was moved and enthusiastically echoed: "That's right! I swear to follow the Lord of Hell forever!"
The woman nodded with satisfaction, and took Su Xingyuan past the old city wall and moat, into the snack street behind, and turned left and right, entering a restaurant that looked extremely homely.
The woman whispered:
"Xingyuan is dead."
The receptionist glanced at her, understood what she meant, and led the two people into the kitchen.
Su Xingyuan was suddenly cueed: “?”
What happened to you, Star Hunter?
Do you have to be so malicious towards players?
Su Xingyuan wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he followed the woman into the kitchen with a smile on his face.
There are two refrigerators in the back kitchen. Move the refrigerators away and open the thick carpet, and you will find a secret passage underneath.
Su Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, not at all disturbed by the commonplace plots in various games, but with a look of surprise and excitement on his face, he walked down carefully.
After walking for about ten minutes, passing through countless doors and magic tests, they finally arrived at a bright hall.
It can be seen that the woman was a little wary and suspicious of Bai Wei at the beginning. After all, Su Xingyuan could change his appearance, and these people had already had some subtle stresses due to his existence and strength.
The woman didn't know that the [Strange Mask] could imitate the fluctuations of magic power very vividly. Otherwise, he would not have been able to blend into the crowd of monsters during the job transfer copy.
After he passed the magic test, the woman looked at him with a much more relaxed look.
Su Xingyuan touched the mask on his face that seemed to be nothing.
Although driving it requires a large part of the disguised person's limbs, which seems a bit harsh and bloody, it is really easy to use.
He looked toward the hall.
There were many hooded guys sitting in the hall, their faces and bodies were completely covered up, and most importantly, the names above their heads were harmless green.
Noticing his arrival, the man who seemed to be the most senior said, "Give him a stone of disappearance."
The woman explained in a low voice: "Su Xingyuan seems to have some ability to distinguish the good and evil of other people's auras. In order to prevent him from discovering our identities and thus ruining our plan, each of us now needs to be equipped with a stealth stone."
"That way, at least I won't be exposed before we even meet and get killed."
Being targeted again, Su Xingyuan was no longer upset. He accepted the second Invisibility Stone without any hesitation.
Afterwards, he was arranged to sit in the corner of the back row, while the woman went forward to communicate with those people whose faces were unclear.
Perhaps it was due to the ability of someone present, the sound of their conversation seemed to be separated by a layer of membrane and could never reach Su Xingyuan's ears.
But Su Xingyuan could also guess that they were talking about him, especially the fact that he had infiltrated Xu Banmeng's team heading to Country S.
Soon, they finished their conversation, and the man in black robe with the highest status asked, "Are you sure Xu Banmeng doesn't suspect you?"
Su Xingyuan: "I can be sure that this is absolutely a coincidence. She believes me very much."
He looked calm and didn't seem afraid of them investigating.
Several people looked at each other.
This incident sounds outrageous, but it seems much more reasonable when applied to Xu Banmeng, who was repeatedly assassinated by beauties but still loved them.
"Okay, then just follow Xu Banmeng to Country S. Don't do anything unnecessary on the way and try to gain more of her trust."
"When you arrive in Country S, someone will naturally come to find you and contact you."
The man in black robes seemed to think highly of him and said, "We didn't have this plan originally... but you have infiltrated their team, so maybe the Demon King is also helping us."
"When the time comes, we will work together inside and outside to make sure Xu Banmeng can never leave Country S again!"
Su Xingyuan echoed, but there was no smile in his green eyes.
I always feel that... this is not their complete purpose. Besides, it would be too stupid to directly expose your purpose to a newcomer. This would just be fooling the newcomer who knows nothing.
As a player, Su Xingyuan is very aware of his ability to get involved in events.
I'm afraid that what they want to plot is far from that simple.
