Yin Yao (President): The best way to deal with rumors is not to refute them, but to divert attention.
Using another seemingly unrelated thing to "cover up" actually brings the focus back to the original point in the end.
The rumors will then be proven false.
Xia Yao knew too well the faces of those who stood at the commanding heights of public opinion and mindlessly followed the trend. Coming out to explain when the topic was at its hottest would only make them jump even higher.
Instead of doing this, it is better to respond in a roundabout way and catch them off guard.
Because the Sword Demon King was thrown into prison, there was one less construction worker. Qin Feng immediately explained the situation to Xia Yao after hearing the news.
Yinyao: One less worker shouldn't affect your construction schedule, right?
[Qin Feng: The impact is not significant, but I think I should explain it to you]
Yinyao: Got it. I'm fine. Everything will proceed as usual.
Qin Feng: OK
Xia Yao closed the dialog box and typed "learn math, physics and chemistry well" into the friend search bar. An avatar popped up and she clicked on it.
The guild column has been changed to [Crown of the King].
Currently the second largest guild in the world, it is very powerful, but because it has not obtained the official founding order, it has always been ranked second since the establishment of Sword and Rose.
The Crowning of Kings, like Black and White Wind Shadow, is also an old guild that came from other games. But unlike Black and White, they have a good reputation. No matter in the past or now, they have basically never had any negative incidents. Therefore, they are regarded as a holy place of guild by many players.
However, such a holy place actually recruited the mathematics, physics and chemistry students who had just been involved in a breakup scandal.
Are you afraid that your own brand won't be damaged enough?
Xia Yao smiled and sent a message to someone.
【Yin Yao: Hello, are you there?】
Half a minute ago, Wang Ya suddenly felt a chill rising from his back. He thought there was a cold wind blowing on his back, but when he turned around, he found that there was an airtight wall behind him, so there was no wind at all.
He muttered something strangely, and the next second he received a message from the Demon King.
[Wang Ya: ... TT boss, what's going on? ]
A crying face expression perfectly describes his mood at the moment.
[Yin Yao: Can you help me run an errand? ^-^ (P.S.: I'll be paid)]
【Crow: Ying】
He doesn't believe it's as simple as just running errands!
Yinyao: I'll take this as your agreement. Here's the thing: help me find someone who's good at math, physics, and chemistry. Once you find someone, send me their address.
【Wan Ya: (⊙o⊙) What? 】
Aren't Math, Physics, and Chemistry members of the Big Brother Guild? If you want to ask him, can't you just go and ask him directly? Why are you going through all this trouble to ask me?
He has been busy managing the Poets' Hall recently and has turned a deaf ear to what is happening outside. He has no idea about the relationship between mathematics, physics, chemistry and Zhang Bupa.
Looking at the expression on his face, Xia Yao guessed that he probably hadn't heard about it, so she briefly explained what had happened.
Yinyao: That's about it. His brother is accusing Zhang Bupa of cheating. I think I need to talk to him.
What? I didn't expect the math, physics, and chemistry students I was supposed to be in the maze with were such terrible!
Wang Ya puffed out his chest and said righteously, "Don't worry, sir! I'll find him even if I have to traverse the entire continent!"
Although he is timid and sometimes cowardly, he thinks he is very principled when it comes to matters like this!
Breaking up is understandable, but can't you please be a man and take responsibility for your actions? He quit the guild without a word and then let his brothers bully the girl he once liked. What kind of man is that? Pah!
At this moment, Wang Ya felt as if he was possessed by the god of justice. He dropped a pile of tasks in the Poet's Hall and rushed out like the wind to catch people.
In fact, mathematics, physics and chemistry were much easier to find than he had imagined.
Originally, Wang Ya had no hope of finding him in the city. After all, after such an incident, anyone with a bit of shame would know to log off and avoid suspicion. But who knew that the other party was so shameless that he even dared to show up in the city.
But perhaps because he felt guilty, he did not wander around the street. Instead, he chose a corner seat in the restaurant and sat there, drinking tea and eating alone.
Wang Ya followed him into the restaurant, sat at a street-facing seat, ordered some snacks in a pretentious manner, and ate while glancing over there.
After confirming that the other party would not leave in the short term, I immediately sent the address to the boss.
At this moment, a fairy-like female player came in from the main entrance, took a look around, and sat down next to the math, physics and chemistry students with a sweet smile on her face.
Oh my god, it turns out he is the one who cheated!
Wang Ya was shocked and reported immediately.
Soon, the two men had eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to leave.
Wang Ya gritted his teeth and watched Shulihua's departing back, wishing he could rush up and tear him apart!
Of course, he only dared to think about it in his heart.
After paying the bill, I continued to follow quietly.
The two men did not take the main road, but chose to walk through the alleys.
The ethereal female player was clearly unhappy: "Math, Physics, Chemistry, why do you always take me down the back roads? Are you worried that woman will come after you?"
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry laughed and said, "No, she's already in jail. Why should I be afraid of her?"
"I'm not talking about your ex-girlfriend, I'm referring to the number one player," the female player said angrily. "She's the guild leader. If she found out you quit her guild and then joined our King's Crown, she'd definitely have some thoughts."
The arm around the female player froze for a moment, then he let it go and whispered, "No, don't worry..."
Based on his understanding of the former president Yin Yao, the other party would not be so idle as to bother with someone like him.
Besides, he had already asked his brothers to spread the word that it was Zhang Bupa who cheated first. He was upset because of the heartbreak, so he resolutely left Sword and Rose and joined the Crowning of Kings. Only then did he meet Bai Qianqian. What reason did Sword and Rose have to blame him?
There is no position at all, okay?
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, and continued to hug Bai Qianqian, comforting her: "Be good, don't think too much. At worst, we can just stop playing games and log off. Didn't you pass the CET-6 yet? I'll teach you."
Wang Ya followed behind the two of them and couldn't see their expressions, but from their tone he could tell that the female player's tone suddenly became coquettish.
"Hmph, you only know how to show off in front of me. Okay, let's log off after we finish this mission. Or shall we meet in study room 6602?"
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry nuzzled the female player's neck affectionately: "Of course, that's our secret base~"
Yue!~
The crow was about to vomit from listening to it.
And there's a secret base. Do you treat me like a three-year-old child?
However, he stood there and thought about it. The female player mentioned that there was a study room for the English Level 6 exam...
It seems that these two people studied in the same university?
As my thoughts were wandering, suddenly, five players jumped out and surrounded Shulihua and Bai Qianqian.
"What are you doing?! This is the royal city!" Bai Qianqian warned, biting her lip.
The visitor smiled sinisterly, "So what if we're in the Royal City? We were originally sent here to assassinate you. As long as the mission is accomplished, I don't care where you are! Brothers, go ahead and take her down!"
"I have no grudges against anyone in the game, how could someone assassinate me? Are you sure you're mistaken?" Bai Qianqian's face turned pale, and she quickly recalled in her mind who she had offended during this period of time.
But she couldn't think of anything she had done wrong.
The management of the King's Crown has always been strict. If she really caused a dispute in the game, the president, Brother Mian, would definitely punish her according to the system. How could it be the turn of outsiders to sanction her?
Bai Qianqian couldn't understand it and felt that she had no way to defend herself.
The math and physics students around him also turned pale and blue: "Qianqian, what have you been doing recently?"
Bai Qianqian, already feeling extremely aggrieved, suddenly raised her voice when he asked her this question: "What are you talking about? Math, physics, and chemistry? I've been with you almost every day for over half a month, and you still don't know what I've been doing?"
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry rubbed his hair irritably, looked at Bai Qianqian, glanced at the people around him, and started to say nice things in an attempt to resolve the issue peacefully.
But the five men were determined to kill Bai Qianqian and ignored the gentle tactics of mathematics and physics. They drew their weapons and started fighting.
Suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from the alley. Seeing that someone dared to take action in the royal city, the surrounding players quickly came out like wild animals in a melon field.
[Another brawl in the Royal City! Come on, brothers, come and have some fun!]
[Let me know who is this love-hate relationship between them]
[The one being beaten seems to be the one being crowned king, that fairy Bai Qianqian]
【wow, exciting】
[The guy next to her looks familiar. Is he good at math, physics, and chemistry? Hey, isn't he from Sword and Rose?]
[Being cheated on by my girlfriend, who can stand this? I'll definitely quit and join another guild.]
[It's hard to say who's cheating on whom. This guy just broke up with someone and then he hooked up with Bai Qianqian. How dare he say they had no contact before? I'd never believe that.]
[It's a bit suspicious]
[Hey, please stop missing the point. The point is, how could such a good person like Sister Qianqian be hunted down by someone?]
really.
The reputation of the King's Crown is obvious to all players. One of its administrators, Bai Qianqian, also has good character. In addition, she is beautiful and has a fairy-like aura, so she is very popular with everyone.
So what happened? Why did the other party choose to hire someone at a high price to kill Bai Qianqian?
No one could figure it out, and of course there was no time for them to figure it out.
Because the five people who came were all very skilled and masters, they subdued Bai Qianqian in just a few moves. Bai Qianqian cried aggrievedly and wanted her boyfriend Shulihua to save her. However, after Shulihua was beaten by five people, he hesitated for half a second and suddenly disappeared.
After the character goes offline, the character and ID will turn gray.
Bai Qianqian was completely stunned. She never expected that he would go offline!
The onlookers were even more excited, and all kinds of voices came out.
[What a show! When a female companion was beaten, he didn't save her but logged off instead? I really didn't expect this.]
[He is a nurse himself, so what is he afraid of? It is not difficult to nurse two people.]
[Maybe they are afraid of losing experience and equipment after they die]
[This is incredible. This guy is so irresponsible. He's so scared just because of a game. I seriously despise people like him.]
[Look at Bai Qianqian's shocked and unbelievable expression. The person involved must be mentally broken.]
[I feel sorry for Qianqian. How could she meet such a bastard man?]
[This doesn't seem like the first time he's slipped away, right? I remember the last time someone tried to stop him in the city, he logged off without a word.]
[Huh? Which time are you referring to? I don't remember.]
[Oh, it's his ex-girlfriend. She wasn't afraid of anything, but she provoked Yuan Qinglan and was picked up by Yuan Qinglan's men in the wild. He was in the city at the time. I saw it. A group of people wanted to attack him and wouldn't let him leave the city to rescue her. I was still wondering what he was going to do, but he was offline the next second.]
【Fuck, that's awesome! 】
[#On How to Practice the Art of Shrinking and Escape#]
Yuan Qinglan, who was inexplicably Cueed, happened to see the conversation in the world. To be honest, when she thought of that incident now, she felt her face burning. If history could be repeated, she would never do such a stupid thing.
However, what the world player said was not entirely accurate, and she felt she needed to come forward to clarify the details.
Yuan Qinglan (Northern Dark Capital): Ahem, let me explain. My people didn't do anything in the city that day! That's the key point: no action! They just made a few bluffing moves, and they managed to scare him off the hook. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask anyone passing by.
Holy crap.
When everyone saw Yuan Qinglan running out to speak, they became even more excited.
The five players who were catching people saw the sudden change in the wind and looked at each other. Then one of them leaned down and whispered in Bai Qianqian's ear: "Don't worry, we don't really want to kill you. We just want to help you see the true face of mathematics and physics."
After saying that, he released his grip on her and scurried away before the patrol arrived.
Bai Qianqian looked at the five disappearing people in shock and confusion. Combined with the discussions of the onlookers, she gradually realized something.
That girl... I remember her name was [Not Afraid of Traveling Around the World], right?
She probably needs to have a chat with the other person.
Royal City Prison.
The environment is indeed cold, damp and dirty. If the player stays in the prison for too long, he will be hit by a cold debuff and lose a little blood every once in a while. If he does not drink medicine to replenish his blood in time, he will die if his blood drops to 0.
Those who die in prison cannot be resurrected, and can only wait for the NPC to treat them as "corpses" and throw them into the cemetery outside the city.
Players need to accumulate resurrection points by killing undead monsters in the graveyard. They can be resurrected only after accumulating 100 points.
A very troublesome rebirth process.
The players who were caught often complained about this in the forum after they died. The Sword Demon King saw these posts and secretly vowed that he would not let himself die in prison.
His cell was right next to Zhang Bu's, separated by iron bars, so they could talk to each other.
"Do you have enough red medicine?" he asked.
Zhang Bupa nodded, but his voice was muffled: "That's enough, I bought 100 bottles."
"Oh, that's good." The Sword Demon King could tell that she was in a very low mood. After answering, he didn't know what to say. He just leaned against the iron railing and looked at her quietly.
In fact, the rumors from outside are not entirely wrong.
He was indeed attracted to Zhang Bu'er.
On the grass in the wild, he was repeatedly called upon by seven or eight players. Although he had no power to fight back, he refused to give up like a tenacious deer.
Her watery eyes flashed with a spirit of not wanting to admit defeat, and anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.
But she was not a weak woman. When she followed Yin Yao, the number one on the list, to challenge the 11th floor of the illusion maze, he found that she was bold and courageous, fearless, just like her nickname.
Once certain thoughts arise, the Sword Demon King knows that he can no longer control them.
He would not stop liking her.
But he will hide.
Zhang is not afraid of having a boyfriend. Before she became single, he told himself not to cross the line.
So even when he accidentally ran into her on the 11th floor of the maze and they were alone together, he didn't show any sign of it.
He just didn't expect that Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry would bring him up as a reason to break up. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or fate, but although the Sword Demon King was angry at Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry's cowardice, he never refuted Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry's reason from beginning to end.
I just don’t know if Zhang Bufa, who is so careless, didn’t notice it.
The Sword Demon King looked at Zhang Bu's curled up body, thought for a moment, sighed, and thought, forget it, don't make things difficult for her.
Players imprisoned in prison cannot post messages in the world, forums, and major channels, but can view and chat privately with friends.
After her arrogance outside the city wore off, Zhang Bu's life began to doubt her. She didn't understand. She was the one who was broken up with, and she hadn't even spoken out about her pain, so why was she being blamed by her math, physics, and chemistry buddies?
She was flipping through the world channel in boredom, and suddenly, her expression froze when she saw the players chatting intensively.
The Sword Demon King noticed her change and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhang Bu's mouth twitched, and he stood up from his curled-up body. "Damn it! How could I be so blind? I fell for that piece of shit!"
Two years of high school, two years of college, a total of four years, and this is what Zhang Bupa's aesthetic taste is?!
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen him online for the past half month. Turns out he's been hooking up with other female players behind my back! Shu Lihua, you're such a jerk! We've only been apart for two years and you're already cheating on me. You don't even have the guts to admit it, but instead you're blaming me? Are you even a man? No, I, Zhang Bu, can't swallow this. Just wait for me in math, physics, and chemistry! I'll deal with you when I get out of jail!"
I thought Zhang Bu was depressed after being injured, but unexpectedly he became more and more courageous?
The Sword Demon King looked at Zhang Bupa with both heartache and amusement.
It turned out to be the person he liked.
No matter where you are, it shines brightly~
The transformation card has a time limit of only 10 minutes. Xia Yao came and went in a hurry according to the real-time address reported by Wang Ya. After finishing her business, she retreated with Chen Weihan, Wushan Leng and others, climbing over the wall in the backyard one by one and returning to their nest.
"Hahahaha, did you see the look on the face of that math, physics, and chemistry guy? He's so scared!" Wushan Leng was the first one who couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
The others also felt relieved and nodded.
Little Frog: "I didn't expect him to be such a coward. No wonder he chose Holy Light."
Huang Cheng: "I was worried that the president's plan would fail, but he turned out to be even more spineless than I thought. How shameful."
Yunyan: "President Sister, how do you know that Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry will definitely run away? What if he fights us to the death?"
Yunyan's words touched upon the key point in everyone's mind, and everyone's eyes turned to Xia Yao.
Fight to the death?
Xia Yao smiled lightly: "That depends on whether he has the ability."
Then he showed the screenshot of the conversation with Mathematics and Physics: "Look at this."
Everyone hurriedly clicked it, and then gasped in shock.
"Being offline? He can even come up with such a bullshit excuse?"
The eternal setting is that if a non-player chooses it on his own, the system will not kick the player out no matter what.
"In order to protect himself, he would rather watch Zhang Bu get bullied by seven or eight people?"
"He's not even as good as the Sword Demon King! He used to be a member of the Black and White Wind Shadow and he didn't get along with us, but he was kind enough to save Zhang Bu's life, didn't he?"
Everyone suddenly realized that how could a man who was willing to abandon his girlfriend of several years take risks for Bai Qianqian, whom he just met?
The president's calculation was correct. They would not fail in this surprise attack.
When faced with any danger that may threaten oneself, Mathematics has only one choice - escape.
