Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Past Events
Although the Sea Watching Cliff’s area wasn’t as big as City of Sunrise’s, it wasn’t small either. It took Xu You 20 minutes to drive from the south to the north with the [Divine Speed Aura]. However, the feeling of being followed didn’t disappear even after he walked so fast. This meant that the thieves following him weren’t slow in their stealth and didn’t lose him.

Only the Thief branch, Stealth, could achieve such a profession. This profession’s output explosion was not as strong as an assassin’s, but its stealth skill was the strongest. First, it had an increase in movement speed while stealth was in effect. Second, stealth was not easy to discover.

However, no matter how strong the stealth skill was, the stealth state would be forcibly cancelled the moment one entered the main city leader’s location. However, when Xu You entered the chieftain’s territory, the feeling of being followed disappeared.

“Isn’t that fellow too cautious? He doesn’t dare to follow me without stealth?” Xu You hid in a building and looked towards the entrance of the chieftain’s territory, but he didn’t see any suspicious people. He couldn’t help but feel a burst of boredom.

However, Xu You was temporarily unable to leave because he had changed his name before coming out of the Huaxia Auction House. The Cunning Treasure was still cooled down for the time being. What if that person continued to follow him? He still wanted to wander around the Sea Gazing Cliff, or else he would have left the teleportation array long ago.

Thus, Xu You had no choice but to walk around in the chieftain’s territory and take a look at what the quartermaster here was selling. His reputation was interconnected with the six main cities. If he had enough reputation, he could buy anything from any of the quartermaster in the main city. However, Xu You did not know if the items sold by these quartermaster were the same.

Found the quartermaster of the chieftain’s territory, After spending some time browsing through the items he sold, he discovered that the quartermaster of the six major cities mostly sold the same items, except for some differences. For example, the mount of the tauren was obviously not a horse, but a Cordo beast. It was a wild beast with well-developed limbs and a thick body. Tauren usually rode this kind of mount.

Xu You thought to himself, if a dwarf was riding a Cordo beast, that would be Doraemon’s business. Would he like to buy one in the future as well? Being a Kodor beast knight is pretty good, too.

However, Xu You’s reputation was still lacking, so he had to forget about mounts. Although a mount could be used at level 30, even the person at the top of the Reputation Rankings only had 1,670 points of reputation. He was still 108,000 miles away from the Reputation Requirement of buying a mount. Perhaps this mount was just a way to motivate players to persevere in their Reputation Daily Quests.

Xu You quickly grew tired of watching the quartermaster. That’s all it takes to come and go, He had already bought everything he could use. Actually, with Xu You’s reputation, he could still buy some blue equipment. However, the price of blue equipment above Level 25 had already soared to over 50 gold coins. Xu You felt that it was not worth it. Perhaps those wealthy players who were too lazy to play dungeons and wanted to wear bullshit equipment to pick up girls could buy a few.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

“I wonder if that fellow has left. He can’t be waiting for me at the entrance, right?” Xu You thought, since his Cunning Treasure still had more than 10 minutes left to cool down, he couldn’t change his name for the time being, what should he do?

At this moment, Xu You heard the system notification. Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan went online, so the bored Xu You sent a message to the two brothers, asking them if they were at Sea Watch Cliff or Hell’s End. This pseudonym just happened to be good friends with the two brothers.

“Yes, why? You’re also at Sea Watch Cliff?” Zhang Ping replied.

“Yes, it’s near the quartermaster. What about you?” Xu Youyu suddenly became excited. He didn’t expect that Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan were really at the Watching Sea Cliff. He hadn’t seen two brothers in the game yet.

However, Zhang Ping did not reply. Xu You waited for several tens of seconds. Just as he was about to continue sending messages, two tauren suddenly appeared in front of him. Xu You raised his head and saw the names of the two tauren before he became excited.

“Big brother! Second brother!”

“Xiao You, long time no see!” Shuke, who was flying the plane, patted Xu You on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“Youyou, why don’t you call me Second Brother!” Beta, who was driving the tank, said resentfully.

“Haha, they’re all the same!” Xu You was very happy. Looking at the two brothers’ blurry appearances, he couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. It had been more than a year since they graduated. Although Xu You had seen Zhang Ping in G City a month ago, he didn’t say a few words and separated. In the game, Xu You had never seen either of the two brothers.

Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping looked at Xu You and felt the same way in their hearts. However, for the two of them, there were still some memories hidden deep in their hearts. Only now did they slowly emerge.

Actually, Wei Mingyuan, Zhang Ping, and Xu You weren’t that good when the freshman year started. They were just ordinary dormitory roommates. Although everyone played games, they could only be considered good friends. However, after experiencing that thrilling night, the friendship between the three of them was further promoted and they became brothers who shared weal and woe.

Memories are like movie playbacks, In the blink of an eye, he went back to the night four years ago, Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping would never forget what happened that night. Don’t misunderstand. The incident was not in the dormitory or on the bed, but in a big stall not far from the school. That night, Wei Mingyuan, Xu You and Zhang Ping, three roommates, and some classmates were drinking at the big stall. It was already past 1 a.m. Originally, the atmosphere was dense, but when they were drinking happily, an accident suddenly occurred.

A group of gangsters rushed in with knives in their hands. They saw a table of people beside Xu You and the others chop without saying a word, causing all sorts of panic and screams. From the conversations between these people, the two groups had a grudge. Tonight, one group of people caught another group of people, so this group of chopping incidents happened.

Unfortunately, however, Zhang Ping, who had drunk more than two cups, provoked him, mistaken by one of them for the other, As a result, Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan were both slashed. Xu You was the only one lying on the ground, pretending to be dead motionlessly. He was an otaku, and he didn’t know what to do. He was very scared, afraid that he would also be hacked to death. However, he didn’t want to escape because he saw his two roommates being hacked to the ground.

The group chopping didn’t last long. It didn’t take ten minutes for them to arrive. The two groups didn’t die. As long as they could move, they quickly left the scene. It seemed that nothing had happened. However, the scarlet blood on the ground and four or five corpses that died in grief silently told of the tragedy that had just occurred here.

At this time, Xu You suddenly got up. Xu You scared away the only two passers-by in the vicinity. This time, he couldn’t find any helpers. He quickly found Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping. He found that neither of them had died, but they had been slashed. The wounds were deep and blood flowed endlessly. Xu You knew that the two of them had to be sent to the hospital immediately, or else it would be too late. Fortunately, there was a hospital nearby.

Without hesitation, Xu You immediately helped Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan up and said to them, “Hold on! You’ll be fine, let’s go to the hospital!” The hospital is not far, if you take the small path, it is about 1000 meters away from the stall.

Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan were still conscious. After hearing Xu You’s words, he gritted his teeth and insisted on walking the hardest 1000 meters in their lives. It was late at night, and there was no one on the path, Some people believed that they didn’t dare to step forward to help. Therefore, the three men finally supported each other and walked to the hospital. When the doctors in the hospital received Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan, Xu You was also exhausted. However, Xu You still didn’t leave. It wasn’t until the news that his two roommates were out of danger that Xu You closed his eyes and fainted unconsciously on the ground.

That’s one thing, The three of them were tightly connected, Become a good brother who says nothing, Many people didn’t know what had happened afterwards, including the classmates who were lucky enough to escape after they went drinking together that night. No one knew how Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping survived, nor did they know what role Xu You played. Xu You didn’t mention it to anyone, so Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping silently remembered all of this in their hearts.

However, Xu You did not think that he had done anything amazing. In that situation, if he was given ten thousand choices, he would do so. However, Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping did not think so. Xu You was their savior. Without this roommate who usually did not talk much in the dormitory, their very valuable lives would be gone.

However, after Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping learned what kind of person Xu You was in the future, without showing gratitude, Instead, he secretly looked after his roommate, After a long time, the three of them became good brothers. Everything that happened back then had already disappeared. However, Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping would never forget that. As for Xu You, he seemed to have completely forgotten about it. Or perhaps, he no longer wanted to advance what happened back then, because he did not want the relationship between him and the two brothers to be mixed with other material things.

But now that the three of them were reunited in the game, Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping couldn’t help but recall what happened back then. Their gazes at Xu You also became strange. Xu You immediately understood what was going on, so he pretended to be unhappy and said, “I say, why are you two showing such expressions when you see me? Are you unhappy to see me?”

When Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping heard this, they knew that Xu You didn’t want to talk about the past anymore. They quickly put away their sighs in their hearts. Wei Mingyuan said, “Why are you unhappy? Let’s go and have a drink!”

However, Xu You stopped the two brothers and told them about the thief following him, hoping to wait another 10 minutes for the cunning treasure to cool down.

But when Zhang Ping heard this, he took out a pair of glasses from his bag and handed them to Xu You. “This pair of detection eyes can see through the invisible unit. Let’s go and see who is following you. The three of us will deal with him.”

“That’s right, let’s go. Don’t let that guy ruin our mood!” Wei Mingyuan also smiled.

As a result, the three of them swaggered out of the chieftain’s territory. Xu You was right. That person really didn’t leave, and the feeling of being followed returned.

Xu You winked at the two brothers, telling them not to alarm them. Then, he quietly put on his glasses and secretly glanced back when he turned a corner. He saw the stalker as he wished. However, when Xu You saw his name, he frowned.

“Who is it?” Zhang Ping saw the change in Xu You’s expression and asked. Wei Mingyuan also looked at Xu You doubtfully.

“It’s an ice shadow from the Ice Age. Looks like we need to go somewhere else to drink.” Xu You said in a deep voice.

The group chopping incident in this chapter is a real story, so I hope that all brothers will pay attention to their safety when they go out for drinks at night!
