◎Who put the items on the trading center?◎
"Sister Fei, guess who the employer who placed the order is?" Yamato Mitsuyo was so happy after receiving the 300 gold coins transferred from Murphy. This was 300 gold coins, which could upgrade his professional skills by 2 levels. At that time, his group skill Ten Thousand Arrows would become more powerful and more invincible.
Yamato Mitsuyo couldn't help but hum with pride when she recalled how she had instantly killed Zero, a fellow shooter from Fengyuntianxia, at Ite Ice Land, and also greatly surprised the female shooter named Yue Se.
Murphy shook her hair and laughed, "Who cares who it is? We've already completed the mercenary mission as promised and received the 900 gold. All we have to do now is continue to guide public opinion and let the players' hatred towards her continue to ferment."
Anyway, it's enough to make her the target of public criticism, which is also what the employer wants.
As she spoke, she raised the corner of her lips slightly in a haughty manner, "Summer Pear Blossom, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too ostentatious and provoking someone you shouldn't have provoked."
Although the three of them still don't know who this person who shouldn't be provoked is, the fact that the other party has the ability to issue a task order worth 900 gold coins is enough to show how strong the other party's capital is.
The more capital a person has, the more favored they are by the three of them. After all, the three of them made their fortune in the game by doing this business.
When they were still in the Novice Village, they accumulated their first pot of gold by sneaking and robbing. After everyone reached level 10 and rushed to the Royal City, they assassinated players again and again to steal their equipment, and then threw the equipment into the center of the Royal City. The items would be sold within a few hours, and they only had to wait for the gold coins to be credited.
However, as players grew stronger and more vigilant, they could no longer easily succeed as they had in the Novice Village. So, she decided to take private orders, earning high commissions by assassinating the players designated by her employers.
However, if you walk by the river frequently, you will get your feet wet. If they always take orders through illegal channels, sometimes they will suffer heavy losses.
"Sister Fei is really foresighted. She asked us to input our information as soon as the mercenary group system was launched. Otherwise, we wouldn't have received such a big order from this employer so soon." When it comes to layout and strategy, Yamato Mitsuyo has always been convinced by Murphy.
"That's right. I've told you a long time ago that you should take a long-term view in everything and not just focus on the three acres of land in front of you."
Although Yamato Mitsuyo often praised her, sometimes leaving Che An speechless, she had to admit that she really enjoyed the feeling of being praised. So she continued, "Before the Mercenary Group system went online, the three of us relied on taking on blacklisted orders to earn gold coins. It was indeed profitable, but the risks were also great. Remember that assassination mission we received right after leaving the Novice Village?"
Yamato Mitsuyo: "I remember! Of course I remember!"
The target of the assassination was Long Yan, the then Vice President of Lieyan Fury! How could he forget this?
Murphy chuckled self-deprecatingly. "They offered a full 50 gold. With the server only being online for a few days, not many could afford that. We were all overjoyed! We thought we'd met a wealthy man. But what happened? Haha, we finally tracked down Long Yan's coordinates and strangled him in the woods, only to have the order go completely haywire! Not only did we lose 50 gold, but we were immediately blacklisted! We also lost a lot of potions and time!"
Murphy was still very angry when talking about this, but unfortunately, accepting assassination missions privately was against the rules of the game. Even if they were furious, they had no way to deal with their employer.
She took a deep breath and said, "Our line of work is inherently risky. So, if we don't sign up with the Mercenary Guild sooner rather than later, we'll suffer the same kind of losses again."
"Sister Fei is right!" Yamato Mitsuyo nodded seriously and gave Murphy a thumbs up to express her praise.
With the Mercenary Union's endorsement, orderers no longer dared to unilaterally breach their contracts. Even if they wanted to, they would have to pay a large penalty to the Mercenary Union, and 50% of the penalty would be automatically transferred to their accounts. This meant they received compensation without having to do anything, while the orderer had to pay a large sum of money without completing any work.
Under this rule, employers who place orders would hardly dare to cancel them easily, and order takers like them would naturally be protected.
Moreover, although the rules of the game still explicitly do not support assassinations and personal attacks between players, the Mercenary Guild also clearly stipulates that no task orders related to this are allowed, but there are countermeasures to every policy, and many employers successfully circumvent this rule through other means.
For example, in the first task order they received, the employer did not write any prohibited words, but only told them to go to the Royal City Post Office to pick up a letter.
When they ran to the post office, they found that the content of the letter was their real mission - to completely destroy the reputation of Summer Pear Blossom.
You see, this is just the operation of throwing something from the left hand to the right hand.
While thinking, Yamato Mitsuyo happily switched to the forum, ready to continue "adding bricks and tiles" to the post according to Sister Fei's request.
Suddenly, his fingers stopped.
Che An keenly noticed his abnormality and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Yamato Mitsuyo stood there with her lips half open, wanting to say something, but she felt as if her throat was being pulled by an invisible force and she couldn't make a sound.
Che An knew his personality too well. His emotions were always shown on his face. Now his face turned pale, and it was obvious that something big had happened. He simply stopped asking him and opened the forum on his own interface.
"Sister Fei," Che An glanced at the forum homepage, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he lowered his voice and called out to Murphy who was walking in front of him.
Murphy turned around: "What's wrong?"
Che An: "Our post has been pushed to second place."
"So what?" She thought it was nothing and shrugged casually. "It's just second place. Anyway, as long as the post stays on the front page for a day, everyone will see what Xia Ri Lihua has done. What's there to be afraid of?"
"No," Che An shook his head, "The post that pushed us to second place is related to us."
"What?!" Murphy couldn't help but be shocked. How could it be possible? They had made sure it was foolproof! There was absolutely no way anyone would discover the truth!
But the reactions of Che An and Yamato Mitsuyo clearly told her that things were not as she thought.
He immediately stopped looking for wild monsters and quickly opened the forum.
When her eyes suddenly fell on the titles of the first row of posts, Murphy felt a buzzing in her head, as if a thunder had exploded in her skull, making her temples throb!
She tried hard to regulate her breathing, hoping that this would make her pounding heart feel better. She didn't know how long it took to slow down, until now she could only hear her own voice in the cold wind, with a hint of trembling in the chill.
"Which of you two put the item up at the trading center?"
As the old saying goes, what's fake can't be real, and what's real can't be fake. This proves the point even more when applied to Bruce the Goblin's death.
If the pictures in the post only expose the poster's true identity, then the new batch of items posted on the trading center are a powerful weapon to expose the other party to the public.
#The trading center has a new batch of good stuff, everyone hurry up and grab it#
Besides endless gossip, what do players care about most? It's themselves! Their combat power! Their equipment!
As long as you grasp this point, you won’t have to worry about no one visiting your post.
As expected, the moment Xia Li pressed the send button, some players with quick eyes and hands quickly clicked in. They wanted to see what good things were worth grabbing in the trading center that they had visited all the time.
Then at this point, they completely fell into it.
"It's actually a rare blue outfit with special effects! It has full durability! And it's only 20 gold! This is too cheap!"
"Night-colored Skeleton Armor? To create a world for the people? Did he put this up?"
Two comments were quickly updated and displayed below the first screenshot she deliberately posted.
Xia Li said nothing, silently continuing to upload the second, third, and fourth photos...
The equipment in each screenshot is different, but they all have one thing in common - the seller's name is a player named "Yamato Mitsuyo".
"By the way, who is Yamato Mitsuyo? An equipment master? She actually has so many goodies for sale."
"I've never heard of it, but why would you care about someone's identity? You should just grab the good, cheap stuff right away!"
"Stop talking, brother. I'll go buy it right now!"
"Wait! I think I see my own equipment!"
"What? Yours? The guy upstairs must be jealous. He sees something so good and claims it's his. How shameless."
"Who's shameless? What I said is true. Our president, Feizixiao, bought this pair of Dark Night Stealth Boots from Xia Rilihua for 20 gold coins. The transaction record is still there! Just wait, I'll ask the president for it!"
Finally seeing the reply she wanted to see, Xia Li paid special attention to the forum owner who mentioned the Night Stealth Boots, whose forum code name was: Navigator.
Just as the navigator turned back angrily to ask for the transaction record, the same voice was heard from below.
"That's not right. This Moon Crown Robe belongs to our vice-chairman. It's the only one in the entire Miracle. How did it suddenly get put in the trading center?"
"Yes, yes, I remember this robe too! It was bought by our Storm Guild President himself. I heard it was dropped in a dungeon. It has amazing stats, but it's a shame it doesn't match my class. Our president bought it and gave it to Vice President Leng Bingshuang, and she's been wearing it ever since."
"I was wondering why the vice president changed her robes recently, and she sold them?"
"No way! If the vice-president wanted to sell it, how could the seller's ID be 'Yamato Mitsuyo'? I've never heard of this guy before, he's not even from Dark Storm!"
"Fuck! Could this guy have been stolen?!"
"Someone come and investigate! Who is this person? How dare he steal our vice president's things!"
There were more and more doubts and criticisms under the post. In just over ten minutes, the new post was pushed to the front row by everyone!
Yamato Mitsuyo felt cold all over. The temperature in the map where they were hunting monsters was moderate, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and was frozen all over.
"Sister Fei..." He tried hard to control his trembling lips, his eyes wanting to see but not daring to look directly at the other person.
As soon as the words came out, Murphy instantly understood who had hung up the equipment.
"Do you have a brain or not? We just looted these things from Bruce's yard, and the post was only sent out a few days ago. Are you so anxious to sell them for money?!" Murphy looked at the questioning voices under the post and became furious. Her anger suddenly turned her face blood red!
Che An also realized the seriousness of the situation, but no matter what, the three of them had to remain calm, so he quickly grabbed the furious Murphy and said, "Let's think of a solution first."
"Find a solution? What solution? Is there any turning back now?" Murphy shook off Che An. "If we take off the equipment now, we'll only be more suspicious!"
"But if we don't take it, we will really be known as the murderer of Bruce." Che An stared at her and said calmly.
