Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 304
Chapter 304 Reality And Game
“Tsk tsk tsk, looks like this murderer has a fortuitous encounter. Knights of Death, it sounds pretty awesome from the name. You’re too tough. I wonder if you’re actually strong or not.” Xu You looked at the top spot on the ranking list and felt a little helpless.
Just now, when Xue Wuhen was resting, he suddenly sent a message. Xu You thought that Xue Wuhen and Zhao Chen would stop being petty. He hurriedly opened it and saw that there were only four words in the message: “Look at the ranking list.”
Thus, Xu You doubtfully opened the ranking list to take a look. He discovered that he had been pushed to the second place. Holy Light Ming, a murderer, had obtained a hidden profession and suddenly soared from the tenth place to the first place. His level was still an unbelievable Level 50. This made Xu You, who had originally thought that he was firmly at the top of the Level Rankings, feel depressed. His leveling speed was already cheating enough. Now, there was actually someone who was heaven defying compared to him.
However, this matter was quickly thrown to the back of Xu You’s mind. The sudden rise of Holy Light Ming, a murderer, to the top of the list had nothing to do with Xu You. On the other hand, the children of Novice Village had to be careful. Holy Light Ming, this fellow’s heart was a little abnormal. He liked to torture and kill low-level trumpets, and he liked to kill them in Novice Village. It was truly a bizarre.
After thinking for a while, Xu You still decided to inquire about the situation in the villa, “Wuhen, did Chenchen’s anger dissipate?” It’s embarrassing to be kicked out of the villa today.
“No, who told you to bring any woman back to the villa?”
“I don’t have any!?” Xu You still refused to admit it, since Zhao Chen didn’t have any evidence.
“Do you know it yourself? However, I can’t help you with this situation. Explain it to Chen Chen yourself. I’m going to see my room. Hehe.” Xue Wuhen replied and ignored Xu You.
Hearing that, Xu You shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Xue Wuhen had agreed to move into the villa. This was a good thing. He had invited Xue Wuhen a few times before, but Xue Wuhen did not agree. He did not know why, but now that Xue Wuhen had entered, he had the chance to be bedridden together!
Xu You revealed a rippling smile as he thought about it. However, when he thought of Zhao Chen, who was still angry, he frowned bitterly again.
At this time, Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping, who had disappeared for more than ten days, finally sent a message. Xu You opened it and saw, “See you on the fifth floor of City of Sunrise Seafood Pavilion.”
…
It’s been a while since Xu You came to the Seafood Pavilion, but the Seafood Pavilion is still the most popular restaurant in the game. The first four floors are full, and there are quite a few people on the fifth floor.
When Xu You arrived at the fifth floor of the Seafood Pavilion, Wei Mingyuan and Zhang Ping were already waiting on a large table in the southeast corner.
“Youyou, you’re here. Come sit down!” Zhang Ping’s eyes were sharp as he saw Xu You coming out of the stairs.
After Xu You heard Zhang Ping’s voice, he quickly arrived at the big table. Xu You was not polite either. As soon as he sat down on the chair, he began to eat. There were quite a few delicious dishes on the table. He broke off two crab legs and took two bites before saying, “Boss, do you need to be so grand? This time, there’s another big harvest?”
Zhang Ping smiled and said, “Is it very grand? It’s just to celebrate the completion of the hidden mission. This mission took me and boss many days, causing us to waste the experience bonus status of the system reward.”
“Didn’t you give me much experience after completing the mission?” Xu You asked.
“Of course not. This is a sideline hidden mission!” Zhang Ping rolled his eyes.
“Then what about the reward for the mission? Did you upgrade the Cunning Treasure?” Xu You still couldn’t hold back and asked the question he was most concerned about.
Hearing this, Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan looked at each other and laughed. Xu You’s face turned slightly red. He knew that he was too anxious, and Zhang Ping did not have the intention of suspending Xu You’s appetite. He took out a small box that looked like a cunning treasure and handed it to Xu You.
“Is this a new cunning treasure? What’s the difference?” Xu You picked up the small box and looked at it for a few moments before asking.
“That’s right. After my hidden mission is completed, I’ll be able to make a new cunning treasure. This is a finished product. I’ll know if there’s any difference. However, this isn’t the place to test it.” Zhang Ping laughed.
At this time, Wei Mingyuan also said, “Little You, let’s put aside the matter of the cunning treasure first. It’s rare for us three brothers to gather together alone. Let’s eat first.”
Hearing this, Xu You could only put aside his curiosity. Boss was right, the three brothers didn’t spend much time drinking and chatting together.
After drinking a few glasses of liquor, Wei Mingyuan asked, “Xiao You, I heard you bought a villa in the game.”
“That’s right, but I didn’t plan to buy it. However, there was an NPC that I insisted on buying, and the price was cheaper. That’s why I decided to buy it.”
“Youyou, looks like you’ve made a lot of money in the game.” Zhang Ping laughed.
“Not bad, just buying and selling some ores.” Xu You didn’t intend to hide anything from the two brothers and simply told them about Droca.
“Mm, Xiao You, you’re amazing. There aren’t many people in China who can make so much money in the game.” Wei Mingyuan praised Xu You.
“Where?” Xu You always felt that the boss and the second brother were a little strange today. He didn’t know why, but in the next second, he understood what the two brothers wanted to do.
Because Wei Mingyuan winked at Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping scratched his head and asked Xu You, “Youyou, do you want to be the boss?”
Xu You immediately understood what the two brothers meant. Actually, Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan had mentioned this matter to Xu You before and after they graduated from university. They asked Xu You if he wanted to enter a certain company or become a small boss. The purpose was to help Xu You, whose family conditions weren’t good, but Xu You rejected the brothers’ good intentions.
Afterwards, the two brothers tried to persuade him a few more times. Xu You still didn’t agree, so he gave up. Regarding this matter, it was fine to say that Xu You was stupid or stubborn. In any case, Xu You didn’t want to accept such gifts from his brothers for nothing. His pride didn’t agree.
However, the reality was cruel. The setbacks that Xu You encountered a year after graduation made him realize that self-esteem was mostly worthless. Therefore, Xu You’s thoughts had changed. In the past year, the brothers had accepted some kind help from him.
Seeing Xu You in a daze, Zhang Ping hurriedly explained, “I didn’t help you for nothing. Youyou, you also have to pay for your shares!”
Xu You smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard this. “I understand. In the past, I didn’t accept your kindness. It was just self-esteem. And all of this is meaningless. Society is very realistic. Without money or rights, people can only live at the bottom of the social pyramid.”
Hearing that, Zhang Ping hurriedly turned his gaze to Wei Mingyuan. Did his words hurt Xu You’s self-esteem?
Wei Mingyuan shook his head and said to Xu You, “Little You, in fact, we don’t have any other intentions to help you. We just want you and your uncle and aunt to live a better life. We are brothers. If we can help you, we will definitely help you. You don’t need to have the mood to repay us, much less pressure.”
“I understand” Xu You clenched his fists tightly under the table.
‘”Alright, Xiao You, don’t get excited. You are also earning money by relying on your own abilities now. This has proved a lot, but you want to get something. The results are still far from enough. Do you understand?” Wei Mingyuan looked deeply at Xu You and said.
“Yes, yes, your future father-in-law is not easy to deal with.” Zhang Ping said directly.
Hearing this, Xu You fell silent. He knew what the brothers meant. If he wanted Zhao Chen’s father, Zhao Zhijian, the richest man in G Province, to agree to this matter, he had to have a corresponding social status. Xu You already knew this. Xue Wuhen and Zhao Chen had both told him about this matter.
Actually, Xu You had been thinking about setting up a small business in reality for a long time, Although he could earn millions a month in the game at this stage, However, this was only temporary. No one knew when other players would contact the NPC to let Droca know about the players’ situation and break Xu You’s “monopoly” on ores. In that case, Xu You’s business in the game would not be able to continue. Besides, the game was a game, not a reality. The “New World” would also have a lifespan.
Therefore, Xu You could only earn money in the real world, Only with a stable income and a successful career would he be eligible for something and be recognized by most people. However, Xu You had earned money after all. Without the help of his brothers, he did not want this brotherhood to be related to money, even though he was no longer as resistant to Zhang Ping and Wei Mingyuan’s help as before.
“Youyou, what are you hesitating about? We won’t lie to you. The way you make money in the game won’t last long!” Zhang Ping persuaded.
“But the cold season is coming, so there’s no business in reality.” Xu You had also considered this point. With the arrival of the cold season, the government would order “the whole people to spend the winter.” How could there be any business to do?
“Who said that real business can only be done in real life? Isn’t there a lot of XX shops in the game? The game is different from real life, but it can also be connected. If you agree, I have a plan …” Zhang Ping drew a big cake to Xu You. It was very delicious.
However, when Xu You heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, “No, that’s too exaggerated. We don’t have connections and we don’t have a lot of money. Entering this industry is courting death.”
“But what if we have enough money and connections?” Wei Mingyuan suddenly interrupted, his bright eyes staring straight at Xu You.
“How is that possible … huh?” Xu You subconsciously replied that this was impossible, but Boss Wei Mingyuan’s confident and arrogant gaze made him shut his mouth. Could it be that he had underestimated the identity and background of the two brothers?
“Youyou, if you agree, boss and I will tell you something.” Zhang Ping still smiled playfully, but Xu You already felt that something was different.
In the end, Xu You was still not mentally prepared and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, give me some time to think about it.”
