Chapter 1252 Someone breaks into the manor at night
Xiao Peng really didn't expect that with the rapid development of e-sports, Daxia would successfully break out of the circle with a game and get a big piece of the pie.
This game is "Naraka: Bladepoint," another "chicken-eating" game. However, it incorporates elements of Daxia's traditional culture: light skills, hidden weapons, and martial arts... With its exquisite graphics, smooth controls, and rich gameplay, it became an instant hit, sparking a worldwide craze. Professional players and league competitions soon emerged, making it a mainstream esports sport. (This game hasn't been released yet; Yang Banxian is just speculating on its potential impact.)
It was obvious that Kasin often played this game and was very skilled in the operation, while Xiao Peng was playing it for the first time. At the beginning, Kasin was the "big brother" and Xiao Peng was the absolute "newbie".
But how quickly did Xiao Peng pick up the game? It wasn't long before Ka Xin became his little follower, following behind him and picking up the spoils.
"This is how games are supposed to be played!" Kasin said with a smile, "Follow the boss and hug his thighs, and your points will increase quickly!"
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "How dare you say that? You blew it so loudly at the beginning, but in the end, I can't rely on you at all!"
"Of course, who can compare with you!" Kasin took out a cigarette and said, "Come on, boss, have a smoke!"
Xiao Peng took the cigarette and lit it: "Oh my god, it's already past one o'clock. Time to go to bed!"
"Sleep?" Kasin was stunned after hearing this: "Boss, just keep playing! Don't you wake up naturally every day?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I have another bad feeling. Someone will disturb my sleep tomorrow."
Kasin laughed and said, "Boss, I'll bet you a hundred dollars this time! Who can disturb your sleep at home? Everyone knows that you can't be disturbed when you're asleep? Do you think it's us who dares to call you, or Alfred? Or is it Vanderlauper, Valissa and those other girls who dare to call you?"
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and nodded, "That's indeed the truth... Hey, Kasin, you're not acting right today. Usually when you play games with me, you always rush me to bed early. Why are you like this today?"
Kasin smiled and said, "Boss, I've finally truly experienced the joy of gaming: it feels so good to bully weaklings! If we were teammates every day, I'd play games with you forever!"
Xiao Peng raised his middle finger and said, "Get lost, you faggot!"
Kasin: "...Boss, hurry up and get ready, let's play another round!"
Xiao Peng was about to click the mouse when he was suddenly stunned: "Kaxin, what does that red light mean?"
"Red light?" Kasim turned his head and looked at the monitoring station, then frowned. He stood up from the computer and went to the monitoring station. After a few clacking operations on the keyboard, he whistled: "Boss, there are strangers outside our manor!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "What do you do?"
Kasin did some operations again. The footage shot by a camera was enlarged to the big screen on the wall. There was a car on the big screen. Two men and one woman were standing there, smoking and talking carefree. They seemed to be in high spirits and were even playing around from time to time!
Kasin said angrily: "It seems that they were the ones who destroyed the surveillance. Otherwise, why wouldn't they be afraid at all?"
Xiao Peng frowned and said, "What are they doing? They're treating my house like a public toilet, coming whenever they want? Can you hear what they're saying?"
Kasin shook his head and said, "Boss, there's no such function. I can't hear it."
As a result, at this moment, the three people on the big screen suddenly stopped chatting and looked in a direction in the distance. Because of the camera angle, Kaxin and the others could not see what the three people were looking at. Kaxin adjusted the camera angle and saw another car coming. This car did not drive directly over, but stopped in the distance. The people in the car did not rush to get out, but turned on the headlights five times, three long and two short. One of the three people at the beginning took out a flashlight from the car and also turned it on two times, three long and two short. After seeing the light, the car drove over and a man and a woman got out of the car.
Xiao Peng was a little confused when he saw this scene: "What is this? A drug deal?"
But it didn't seem like a drug deal. After getting out of the car, the two people greeted the three people who were there originally. Then the five of them started chatting enthusiastically.
"What is this? A 'Midnight Field Forum'?" Xiao Peng pointed at the screen and asked, "Are they just here to chat?"
Kasim also frowned, confused, and simply picked up the intercom: "Boss, there are suspicious people around the manor!"
Not long after, Kasim and the others arrived at the monitoring room: "What's going on?"
As a result, he saw that Xiao Peng and Ka Xin both looked confused.
Six cars had already arrived at the scene. Aside from the first car, which had two men and a woman, the remaining five cars had one man and one woman in each. They used lights to communicate with each other, then drove over after exchanging signals. After getting out, they gathered together to chat. When Walter and his group arrived, the sixth car arrived.
Kasin said, "Boss, this is really weird! They were just chatting. Although a few of them were smoking marijuana, there was no sign of drug trafficking. I don't know what they are doing."
Xiao Peng said, "And have you noticed? They're basically all in pairs. What kind of couples' exchange forum is this?"
Kasin reminded: "Boss, you are wrong. Don't forget that there were three people in the first car."
Walter said: “Boss, should I drive them away?”
Xiao Peng said helplessly: "They didn't enter the manor, so why are you chasing them away? We can't be too overbearing, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kasin pointed at the screen and said, "They're coming in!"
Their manor was surrounded by a wall of trees composed of shrubs such as myrtle, privet, and dog rose to block out the outside world. It was the kind of wall that "guards against gentlemen but not villains". They used shovels and other tools to easily dig a passage and enter the manor.
After seeing this, Walter asked, "Where did they go?"
Kasin said, "It seems they went to the sculpture garden over there. What's there to steal? Those statues don't look very old, do they? They're just bronze animal sculptures."
Khedira said, "You know shit! That's the work of Frans van Steten! He's one of the best sculptors in the Netherlands right now!"
"Are they really here to steal the statue? Using a shovel?" Kasim expressed his doubts.
Walter said: "Anyway, we'll know if we go and take a look. There are quite a few of them. Let's go over there, three of us. Boss, you wait here for us. We'll keep in touch through the walkie-talkie."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I'll go with you. Without Bruch, we'll have one more person to look after us!"
Walter thought for a moment and said, "Okay, they don't look like they are carrying any weapons. Let's go together."
So Xiao Peng made a choice that he regretted deeply.
