bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 379 Ransom
"Compared to Olimar, there are currently more dungeons and combat content in the area of ​​​​Bloodport that are worthy of my making, so I did not return to Olimar, but chose to stay in Bloodport and became a player of the Dead Fleet .”

In the official event before the last major version update, Qian Xiaoqian said so, of course Han Dongwen remembered.

In the Crown of the Dead tavern, Han Dongwen and his table had been intentionally or unintentionally spread out into a vacuum, and the surrounding drinkers and bartenders were tacitly far away from their table.

Of course, it wasn't because of Han Dongwen, or because of the Qimen Bodyguard Bureau.

"Dead Fleet..."

Han Dongwen pondered, and Qian Xiaoqian in front of him smiled: "That's right, we are here to pick up the darts on behalf of the Dead Fleet."

The agreed code was correct, and there was nothing wrong with it. Obviously, he could act as a escort to take away the goods that Han Dongwen and the others escorted.

"Is Blood Harbor fun? Are there many copies?"

Furry and Rabbit Legs on the side were chatting with Qian Xiaoqian, but he could only smile wryly: "Let's talk after finishing the matter, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he slightly raised his head to look at Xu Daliuan on the other side of the table, nodded his head and said, "Long time no see."

What Qian Xiaoqian was talking about was of course the last time they met in the live broadcast room of Queyin Wenchuang Company. Xu Daliuan nodded expressionlessly as a response.

"Let's inspect the goods."

Han Dongwen kicked the box over with his feet in a cold tone - he originally suspected that the escorted goods of Haizhou Yihonglou were related to the Mianjiang Merchant Group based on the reputation of Crow Bay in the game at the beginning, but now he is the alien organization of Blood Port The appearance of Qian Xiaoqian from the "Dead Fleet" made Han Dongwen directly conclude that the Daqimen and the Mianjiang Merchant Group must be connected.

The existence of the Dead Fleet is no secret.

Even though Qian Xiaoqian didn't explain it in the official activities at that time, there was always someone who could communicate with each other and find out.

The aliens registered in Bloodport were regarded as suffering sailors in the early game, and they were almost the easiest group of people to accept——Bloodport was originally the lair of gangsters, and those who fled here without relatives and without reason and wanted to make a living were not few.

The aliens started working as sailors in Bloodport, and they were no different from others at the beginning.

until after a while.

Regardless of whether the business done by Xuegang is legal or not, it is always dangerous.

If an ordinary person's ship is wrecked at sea, the only end result is death.

It was at this time that the people in Hong Kong discovered that even though these aliens boarded the sunken and damaged ship yesterday, they always appeared at the dock the next day.

As a result, the news of the immortality of the aliens disappeared in Blood Harbor, and the sailors began to be afraid of such people, and began to doubt and fear their existence. If there was a rebellion on the ship, even if he was buried in the deep sea with other crew members, he would reappear at the dock of Blood Harbor in the early morning not long after.

Life is the favorite bargaining chip for Hong Kong people to negotiate. When this method fails, there will be no place in Hong Kong to accommodate them.

Except for one person.

Blood Harbor is the youngest, but also the most reused new lieutenant general.

Zhan Taiyi who ran to Blood Harbor from Siyangluo, the capital of Simeng.

Under his insistence, the alien players in Blood Harbor formed a separate fleet, forming a fleet that was truly fearless and not afraid of death, just like a ghost.

Only the dead are not afraid of death.

The Dead Fleet is one such fleet.

Qian Xiaoqian smiled, lowered her head and opened the box that Han Dongwen had kicked over.

Going to the Crown of the Dead to pick up the darts is just one of the daily tasks of the Dead Fleet today, and it is never the first time it has been done.

"I'll click."

He bowed his head slightly towards Han Dongwen, and at the same time raised his hand slightly, pointing to the treasures in the box with his index finger.

His mouth is counting, one two three four five.

Han Dongwen frowned slightly.

Why count?It seems that he doesn't care whether the treasure inside is damaged or not, but only cares about whether the numbers are correct or not.

"...Seven, eight, a total of eight."

After Qian Xiaoqian finished counting, she looked at Han Dongwen.

"A lot." Han Dongwen raised his chin slightly.

There is nothing wrong with the pledged goods, which is naturally something that the bodyguard should be proud of.

But to his surprise, Qian Xiaoqian showed a regretful expression, shrugged slightly and said:

"it's a pity."

pity?

"What a pity? We brought this here!"

Furry on the side spoke like Han Dongwen's mouth.

Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "There were eight pieces of these things when they were sent to Simeng, and there are still eight pieces now, that is to say, none of you can take them back."

"who?"

Xu Garlic, who was at the side, suddenly opened his mouth.

Qian Xiaoqian was taken aback for a moment: "Why, didn't you mention the incident when your bodyguard bureau broke out?"

Hairy shook his head, and Xu Garlic shook his head too.

Han Dongwen sat on the chair, calmly maintaining his expression.

What does Qian Xiaoqian mean?
Could it be that this is not an ordinary dart trip, but should there be a few fewer items?
Who is he talking about?

"Did someone bring it? Let me see." Han Dongwen said in a deep voice.

Qian Xiaoqian stood up and smiled: "It's at the door."

As he spoke, he handed a bulging purse to Han Dongwen, which was the remaining half of the dart money.

"Don't play tricks on NPCs, tell me, who are you talking about?" Furry has always been impatient, and several people have already stood up from the table, and the two people behind Qian Xiaoqian have already carried the box. Announcing the successful end of this dart.

Hearing Mao Furry urging herself so much, Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "I'm a game guide, and information is what I just need. Why should I tell you?"

Fluffy was furious, but he couldn't find any words to deal with him. A group of people had already walked out of the crown of the dead and came to the streets of Crow Bay.

"Just behind the tavern."

Qian Xiaoqian stood beside Han Dongwen and raised her finger to point the way.

Sure enough someone.

Eight bruised and bruised children were led by iron chains, and their hands were tied with heavy shackles. They stood in the shadow of the alleyway, watching Qian Xiaoqian and other people anxiously.

Han Dongwen took a deep breath and stopped his steps.

It can be seen from the skin color and hair color that these eight children are all from Simeng.

"Who are they?"

Xu Daliuan's voice suddenly sounded in the narrow alleyway, Qian Xiaoqian looked back at her: "I said it, I am..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Daliuan took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "I found a new high-level object."

"High position—"

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoqian's eyes almost burst into light: "Is that the kind that doesn't take ridicule?"

"In terms of mechanism, ridicule is not accepted, and there will generally be important events."

Xu Daliuan bit his lower lip, and glanced at Qian Xiaoqian with sharp eyes: "So tell me, who are these children, and after clarifying, I will show you that high-ranking person."

Han Dongwen naturally stood with his back to them and stood silently.

He shouldn't be able to understand this kind of conversation, nor should he know that Xu Daliuan used himself as a bait to ask Qian Xiaoqian to hand over the information.

But Xu Garlic's move is really good.

For a strategy researcher like Qian Xiaoqian, the attraction of a rare mechanism is much greater than a secret that not a few people know in the dead man's fleet.

"Child...? Oh, these little NPCs."

Qian Xiaoqian's gaze has shifted to the eight Simeng children, showing a smile: "Of course, it is the materials sent by Qimen. After they are sent to Xuegang, they will take some broken copper and rotten iron to be auctioned in Simeng." , if someone pays, you can bring it back to Simeng."

Xu Dali looked at the group of children, his expression gradually turned cold, and he asked in a serious voice: "If the darts we bet today are not eight pieces, does it mean that the ransom for some children has been paid? Can we take people away? "

Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "That's right, I didn't expect these NPCs to be able to engage in trafficking, it's awesome, hahaha!"

His laughter echoed in the alley, but it was unexpectedly monotonous.

No one laughed with him.

"what happened?"

Qian Xiaoqian turned her head to look at Xu Daliuan strangely, but met the other party's cold eyes: "Playing games, isn't it better to have interesting events? I know this game is real, but it's just data."

Xu Garlic bit his lip, but didn't make a sound.

This is a collision between two attitudes towards the game, some use emotion, while others love reason.

Why doesn't she know this truth?
Both are right.

"It's so pitiful..." Furry murmured, gently grabbing the sleeve of the rabbit's leg beside him.

"I want to save them back." Xu Daliuan said.

Qian Xiaoqian shook her head without hesitation: "That won't work, if the incident fails, I will lose my reputation."

Xu Dali looked up at him: "Reputation is so important?"

"Of course, otherwise, how do you think you can change skills in the dead man's fleet?"

Qian Xiaoqian shrugged her shoulders: "During this time, there are random bosses in the northeast of Blood Harbor. I have to strengthen them and try to get the first kill and write a strategy. I can't promise you, sorry."

The attitude is sincere and the reason is justified.

Xu Dali could not speak, but felt a tightness in his chest.

"Okay, okay, tell me about the high-level NPC."

Qian Xiaoqian's tone became enthusiastic. What he always cared about was mechanism interaction, data design, and the geek sense of studying the style of play—if Sherlock Hook is a loyal fan of the plot and setting, Qian Xiaoqian is the kind of person who wants to dig deep into the non-plot parts.

Xu Dali sighed, but didn't answer him directly, only said: "How do you want to release him?"

"You want to force PVP with me?"

Qian Xiaoqian looked at Xu Daliuan: "This is Crow Bay, and I have the title of the Dead Fleet. Once the guards come, you must be finished. Besides, if you are so separated from the incident NPC to command operations, won't your own incident fail? "

He raised his hand and pointed to Han Dongwen who was behind him in white.

"This kind of small task, I suggest you finish it quickly, and then wait until... ah!"

In the middle of Qian Xiaoqian's speech, she suddenly cried out in pain and turned her head to look.

A dagger had been stuck in his arm, and the NPC in white had turned around, looking at him almost expressionlessly.

A line of clearly visible light text appeared above the head of the NPC in white in Qian Xiaoqian's vision, and he showed a puzzled expression.

"Is this NPC... with a blood bar?"

"Chi...Han Yang?"
