Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 403

Chapter 403 A Man In Hiding
Don’t think that the current Xu You has become a major shareholder of Dreamscape and abandoned his previous business. The ore transaction with the elven merchant Droca can still earn a lot of money for Xu You, so how could Xu You abandon this path of wealth?

However, because he wanted to enter the Land of Chaos to cultivate three months ago, he had no choice but to temporarily cut off this path. At that time, Xu You had suggested that Droca bring his caravan to full strength during this period of time. He hoped that when he came out, Droca’s caravan would be able to dig up Level 50 ores and above.

In the end, Droca really did it. However, he received news that the secret of the black market in the City of Recovery had been spread out. It was no longer Xu You’s private market. Then Droca should know that Xu You had been lying to him before, hacking him a lot of money.

Therefore, Xu You went to see Droca with guilt. Deceiving an NPC was not something to be praised for. However, as a businessman, how could he not blacken his heart? Dick, who wasn’t a businessman, was so dark that he set a good example for Xu You.

Returning to the City of Recovery, Xu You had a strange feeling. There were many more players in Recovery City than before. The entire main city was much livelier. There were no fewer players coming and going around the teleportation array than there were in Steel Castle. It seemed that after successfully defending Recovery City during the Calamity Period, the main city, formerly known as the “Ghost City”, had begun to usher in a spring of development.

Actually, the infinite flames of war sent Xu You a message of gratitude after the calamity. The reason for that was because Xu You had once provided mineral assistance to the Infinite Flames of War. At that time, when the City of Recovery fought against natural disasters, most players had half a set of blue equipment or more. This laid a good foundation for defending the City of Recovery. These equipment were all manufactured by the Infinite Flames of War Guild, so Xu You had a share of the credit.

However, Xu You would not ask for anything in return. Although he had provided ore assistance, he had still received money. It was a deal. The fact that the City of Recovery could be defended was the credit of all the players in the City of Recovery.

This time, Xu You didn’t notify the people of the Infinite Flames of War when he came to the Recovery City, so as to avoid having to entertain them again. Ruohua had requested his help, so he had to rush to the Cloud Cover Highlands later. Xu You didn’t want to stay here for too long.

After walking for more than ten minutes in the dim streets, Xu You actually encountered someone who shouldn’t have appeared here!

At a corner in front of him, there were a few players standing. One of them was called the Demon India. Wasn’t he the subordinate of Heaven in that instant? It was precisely this person who brought two elite groups out of the Heaven’s Pain that caused the Heaven’s Pain to collapse. After that, this person and the two elite groups disappeared. Who would have thought that they would actually be here!

Because Xu You had come to the City of Recovery many times, I’m already familiar with it, Therefore, every time he went to meet Droca, he would take a shortcut. This time, he was no exception. However, this road was near the north of Recovery City, and there were almost no pedestrians. Fortunately, Xu You wiped his Invisibility Powder and rode on a wild horse in order to make his way. He didn’t reveal any traces. Despite the sound of horse hooves, Xu You’s sharp eyes immediately stopped when he saw the Demon India.

Demon India and the others vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves. They all looked in Xu You’s direction, but they couldn’t see anything. However, they thought that someone was coming this way, so they turned into a corner.

Xu You felt very curious, so he got off his horse and followed. He had Invisibility Powder to hide. Unless he had Anti-Invisibility Skill, it would be very difficult to find him. However, Demon India and the others must have been very cautious after hiding for so long, so Xu You didn’t dare to follow him too close.

There were four people in Demon India’s group. All of them were male players. They were chatting on the team channel, so no matter how close Xu You was, he couldn’t hear anything.

“The group of people have been sneaking away for a few months. There must be a conspiracy!” Xu You thought as he followed Sherlock. It seemed that he thought of himself as Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately, he could not hear what Demon India and the others were talking about, so he could only imagine.

‘”Could it be that they are plotting to set up a guild? No, is that necessary to hide? Even though they are on the side of the rebellion, their reputation in heaven is not good at all. The players in the game area did not blame the Demon India for its anti-bone behavior. If they still hide, then there must be … a conspiracy!” After thinking about it, Xu You could only conclude that there was a conspiracy.

Unknowingly, Xu You followed Demon India and the others to an even more remote corner. He looked at the map. This was already the northwest corner of the City of Recovery. No wonder there was no one here. The City of Recovery was a lively and desolate place in the east. There were many people in the south and few in the north. The northwest corner was the most desolate place with the least people in the City of Recovery.

But what surprised Xu You was that there was actually a tavern that was neither big nor small. The dim yellow lights came out through the windows, making it very special amongst the many pitch-black houses in the surroundings. The tavern had a very suitable name: “Lonely Tavern.”

The four of them walked to the tavern and looked around for a while before they entered. They were very cautious, but Xu You found it difficult to follow them here. Should he follow them or not? But entering the tavern, no matter how invisible you are, you still have to open the door. However, when you open the door, no one enters or exits. Isn’t that very strange? Moreover, if there was an anti-hidden NPC or player in the tavern, he would be discovered if he rashly entered.

After pondering for a while, Xu You still gave up on entering the tavern. However, he noticed a window on the right side of the tavern’s entrance. He walked to the tavern gently. He looked inside and discovered that there was no one else in the tavern other than the undead NPC who looked like the tavern owner.

Xu You couldn’t help but take a closer look at the structure of the tavern. The tavern wasn’t big, so it had three or four tables. There wasn’t a second floor, but there was a room behind the bar. The door was tightly shut. If Xu You wasn’t mistaken, Demon India and the others were inside.

At this time, Xu You was impulsive again. Should he go in and take a look? The reason why he was curious was because he wanted to know if Instant Heaven was related to Demon India. Logically speaking, they should be enemies. But after the Heaven’s Pain collapsed, Instant Heaven, Moro, and Demon India disappeared together. Isn’t that strange? Xu You suspected that these people were acting together, but he didn’t know what their goal was.

But could heaven possibly dissolve the entire guild in an instant and use the future of the guild to act as a drama?

“Forget it, what are these people doing? As long as they don’t disturb me.” Xu You couldn’t figure out why, so he decided to give up, but just as he wanted to leave, another person who shouldn’t have appeared here appeared.

“Inscription of Holy Light?!!” When Xu You saw the Holy Light Inscription carrying the Sorrow of Frost walking towards the Lonely Tavern, the shock in his heart was indescribable. Why did this fellow come here? Could it be that the Inscription of Holy Light has something to do with the Demon India?

The Inscription of Holy Light did not discover Xu You. It passed not far away from Xu You and finally entered the Lonely Tavern. A while later, Xu You approached the window of the Lonely Tavern again and found that the Inscription of Holy Light had also disappeared. Then, he must have entered that room.

However, this time, Xu You had some reliable guesses in his heart. He discovered that this Lonely Tavern was somewhat similar to the terrifying tavern that he entered the black market back then. Perhaps, this Lonely Tavern was also an entrance to the underground black market!

Xu You was more and more sure of his guess, so he no longer wasted time. He rushed to the Terror Tavern at full speed. In order to avoid alarming people and accidents, he would not enter the black market at the Lonely Tavern. Moreover, the meeting place between him and Droca was at the Terror Tavern, so he had to rush there.

Very quickly, Xu You arrived at the Terror Tavern. At the same time, he became the “Whiteboard Prince” who specialized in dealing with Droca. In fact, Xu You wasn’t afraid that Droca would blame him for meeting him this time. After all, he had helped Droca through the most difficult period of time. He just felt a little guilty in his heart.

In fact, Droca did not show the slightest bit of displeasure. She met Xu You and shook hands with him warmly. After a while, Xu You said embarrassedly to Droca, “Brother De, I’m really sorry. I’ve been lying to you for so long. You can’t blame me, right?”

Droca did not expect Xu You to take the initiative to raise this matter. His face was a little awkward. After a while, he shook his head helplessly and said, “How can I blame you, Brother Whiteboard? No adultery, no business. If I were you, I would have done the same. At that time, Brother Whiteboard, you took a fancy to me, helped me through the difficulties, and even guided me on the right path. Without you, I might not be a businessman anymore, so there is no need for you to mention this matter in the future.”

Xu You smiled in his heart when he heard this, but on the surface, he was moved. He said, “Brother De, if you can forgive me, then that’s good. Brother De, you and your caravan are both Level 50, right? Can you dig for Silver Ore?”

‘”Alright,” Droca probed, “and during this period of time, we’ve been digging while training. We already have a certain amount of stock. Brother Whiteboard, you …”

“No problem, I’ve bought them all, and I’ll buy them at the current market price!”

Droca was delighted, but she immediately waved her hand and refused, “No, no, that way, you won’t be able to make money, Brother Whiteboard, at 80% of the market price, okay?”

“Hey, Brother De, you’re too courteous. I’m only doing this for the sake of the front …”

“Brother, I told you not to mention the past. The price is set just like that, alright?” Droca pretended to be unhappy.

“Alright then! 80% is 80%!” Xu You also pretended to be helpless to accept it. Actually, he was overwhelmed with laughter in his heart. Droca, an elven merchant, was too kind and upright. However, to Xu You, such a type of partner was the best.

After the transaction was over, Xu You bid farewell to Droca, then walked to Luke, the owner of the Horror Tavern, and said with a smile, “Brother Luke, are you alright?”
