Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Goodbye, Snow Wuhen
Through the teleportation array, Xu You quickly returned to City of Sunrise and arrived near the central fountain.

“Should we sell it first? Or should we learn the skills first? What a dilemma.” Xu You was worried happily.

Xu You and Qing Wu had discussed the matter with unyielding determination. There was no need for them to act together in the future. If they wanted to do so, they could do so. There was no need for them to follow in his footsteps. Xu You estimated that some people had already noticed them. Even the Grand Guild had sent people to the auction houses in the main cities to keep an eye on them. It was impossible for them to do so for as long as they did this morning.

However, if a few people spread out and sold them at random times, the chances of being discovered would be much lower. After all, the treasure of cunning was in your hands. Even if there were so many people from your two Giant Mac Guilds and four First Class Guilds, wanting to find Xu You and the others would be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, this needle had turned into a toothpick.

However, it was always a small profit, not a long-term plan. Moreover, after the reputation system was officially opened, this business could not be done. Therefore, it was best to honestly increase one’s own strength. However, now, it was best to sell it once more.

After sending 200 gold coins to his two brothers, Xu You only had 300 gold coins left. Looking at the figure of 300, he suddenly felt that it was a little small, so he wanted to sell it when he came back to learn the skills.

Xu You, who wore the name “Prince of the Whiteboard” on his head, thought for a moment before deciding to sell it first. Then, he went to Dick’s place to learn the Aura of Resistance. With the disguise of a cunning treasure, it would be much easier to act. However, the truth was cruel. The disguise ability of a cunning treasure seemed to be too strong.

“You are not allowed to enter here. Please return!” The elite guards guarding the entrance of the Imperial Palace forbidden area stopped Xu You and said solemnly.

“What?” Xu You was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively. “Big brother, don’t you recognize me?”

The elite guard glanced at him and said, “Are you? Why do you know me?”

“Me! I am, uh …” Xu You finally realized that the Cunning Treasure was not omnipotent. Alright, he could only cancel the effect of the Cunning Treasure first. In any case, the cooldown time of the Cunning Treasure was about to expire.

Thus, Xu You secretly found a secluded and deserted corner and canceled the effect of the cunning treasure, allowing the word Yue Wuyou to reappear on his head.

“It’s better to use your original name!” Xu You muttered.

Very quickly, Xu You’s figure appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Palace’s forbidden area. This time, the guards really didn’t stop him, but they didn’t pay him any attention. Xu You was puzzled and thought, “Why is my charm useless to the guards?”

Xu You rushed in while thinking. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the City of Sunrise Quartermaster. After spending countless gold coins, he bought a large pile of Level 15 supplies. There were red and blue. He stuffed all 50 squares of bags. After packing everything, Xu You left.

Walking on the empty streets in the forbidden area of the imperial palace, Xu You was annoyed again. He felt that it was better for him to use a fake name to sell the land. This would be safer. However, after he was intercepted by the guards just now, he was afraid that Dick wouldn’t recognize him when he went to learn the skill. At that time, he would have to cancel the effect of the cunning treasure. Then it would be a waste. Why not learn the skill first?

“Sigh, why isn’t the cooldown time of the Cunning Treasure 10 minutes?” Xu You, who had just left the forbidden area of the imperial palace, thought greedily.

This was insignificant. The effects of the Cunning Treasure were already very powerful. If the cooldown time was shorter, then it would be too much of a bug. However, as the owner, Xu You definitely hoped that the Cunning Treasure would be even more powerful. If it could change the appearance of the race, then it would be even better.

But before Xu You’s YY was over, someone called his name, “Mr. Yue Wuyou! Please wait!”

Xu You was shocked. He turned around and saw a beautiful figure standing in a corner of the street.

…

In a bar in Sunrise City, there were two conspicuous players. One was the mysterious female player Xue Wuhen, who was ranked eighth on the Ranking List, and the other was Le Wuyou, who was ranked in the Reputation List. Although there weren’t many players in the bar, they all looked at this man and woman in unison.

“May I know why Senior Xue is looking for me?” Xu You said in the team channel. After entering the bar, he and Xue Wuhen formed a team.

“Didn’t I say not to call me senior?” Xue Wuhen’s tone carried a hint of reproach. At this moment, Xue Wuhen had already taken off his gorgeous “clothes” and was only wearing the same white board equipment as Xu You. However, even so, he was still unable to stop the mysterious beauty’s charming temperament.

“Uh, sorry, I forgot.” Xu You said embarrassedly. Facing Xue Wuhen, who had long been famous in the game world but was extremely mysterious, he was always a little reserved.

“Alright, Mr. Yue Wuyou, I just wanted to ask you a question, okay?” Xue Wuhen’s beautiful face was covered by a pink veil. Xu You could not see her face nor her expression, but her pair of starry eyes were soul-catching.

“Ask, um, Xue … Miss, you should call me by my name.” Xu You’s heart was beating a drum. Did she discover the secret of her cunning treasure? From where Xue Wuhen was when she called him earlier, she should have been waiting there a long time ago. Wasn’t everything he did in front of her seen?

“Alright, Yue Wuyou, you can call me by my name as well. Hmm, my question may be a bit presumptuous, but you can choose not to answer it. Was the resupply scalping incident this morning related to you?” Xue Wuhen went straight to the point, but the topic was straight to Xu You’s vital point.

“F*ck, so she found this.” Xu You secretly cried out in his heart, but on the surface, he revealed a stunned expression. Then, he asked puzzledly, “Why did you say that?”

“Because of reputation.” Xue Wuhen casually said these four words and looked at Xu You with a faint smile.

“Can this woman not be so smart?” Xu You cursed endlessly in his heart, but he still wanted to conceal the truth, so he said indifferently, “Haha, it seems like Xue Wuhen, you’ve decided on me. I wonder what you want to do?”

“Nothing much. I’m just curious. However, if possible, can you sell me some medicine? You know, I’m a weak and weak female player. I don’t have much money to buy supplies.” Xue Wuhen’s eyes flashed with cunning.

“Haha” Xu You laughed dryly. Your sister, you are still a weak female player. If someone heard you, countless men would beat their chests and stampede their feet, wanting to crash into tofu and die. But to get down to business, why does this woman seem to be threatening him? But this secret …

“Don’t worry, I will keep this secret.” Xue Wuhen seemed to be able to see what Xu You was thinking and said softly.

Xu You didn’t say anything, but thought quietly. Xue Wuhen wasn’t in a hurry to see this. She first tasted the wine she ordered. The food in the game was just like reality. It tasted tasty and even more delicious. It was really magical. She didn’t know how the game’s developer did it.

After a long time, neither Xu You nor Xue Wuhen spoke. The two of them sat face to face like this. The surrounding players seemed to have noticed something, and the sound of talking on the public channel gradually decreased. The atmosphere in the bar became quieter and quieter.

“How much supplies do you need?” Xu You suddenly spoke, and this sentence was equivalent to acquiescing to Xue Wuhen’s previous conjecture.

“Twenty bottles each for red and blue.” Xue Wuhen couldn’t help but smile when she heard Xu You agree.

Xu You saw the smile in Xue Wuhen’s eyes and knew that he had been tricked by the beauty in front of him. It seemed that he still needed to train in this aspect. Xu You couldn’t help but feel helpless in his heart. However, Xue Wuhen was still his “idol” when he was young. Forget it.

“Alright, trade!” Since that was the case, Xu You said generously.

“How much do you want to sell me?” Xue Wuhen asked.

“With such a small amount of supplies, I’ll treat it as giving it to you. Alright, I’ll be leaving first if there’s nothing else.” After the transaction, Xu You stood up from his seat. He wanted to slip away. He felt that beautiful women were troublesome, and beautiful and smart women, that must be described as dangerous.

“Can you add a good friend?” Xue Wuhen was a little surprised. She did not understand why Xu You would give her supplies for free. However, seeing that Xu You was leaving, she also stood up and applied to Xu You for a good friend.

Xu You was stunned. Obviously, he didn’t expect Xue Wuhen to do this. Wasn’t this mysterious woman a lone wolf? He turned around and looked at Xue Wuhen, his eyes filled with doubt. Seeing this, Xue Wuhen couldn’t help but be a little angry and said, “Don’t tell me you don’t want to make friends with me?”

Hearing this, Xu You smiled and said, “No, it’s my honor to be friends with Xue Wuhen. However, someone told me from a young age that when I meet a beautiful and intelligent woman, I must be on guard. I’m leaving now. Goodbye.” Of course, this was a lie. He wasn’t Zhang Wuji. He just wanted to leave quickly. However, he wasn’t lying completely because that was what he really thought in his heart.

After saying goodbye, Xu You left the bar and the team. Of course, Xue Wuhen’s friend also agreed to the request.

“Were you praising me for what you said just now?” A secret message was sent.

“Of course!”

…

Not long after, a shrill scream came from an auction house in Recovery City, “Ah!!! Silver coins are coming again! Quickly snatch it!”

“Hurry up … Supplies … have appeared!” In front of an auction house in the Forest of Elves, a breathless player shouted on the public channel.

The same situation also occurred in the major cities.

As a result, the auction houses in the main cities became chaotic again. The initiator was on the way to the First Pier in City of Sunrise. Of course, his name had changed to Whiteboard Prince. In the end, he chose to go to the auction house first and then to Dick’s because he wanted to see if Dick could see through him.

“It’s a pity that I can only buy 10 squares of bags now. There aren’t many supplies sold at one time. Otherwise, it would be great if I could use all of my 300G as capital and exchange it for beginner life potions.” Xu You sighed as he listened to the system notifications.

In the New World, each player can only carry five different bags, These bags formed the player’s inventory. When Xu You came out of Novice Village, there were already two 10-square bags. However, the 20-square bags could not meet the needs of Xu You and Qingwu. As a result, the three of them bought three 10-square bags from NPCs during the early morning resale process, which greatly increased the resale speed.

These 10-grid bags cost 1 gold coin per bag. It was considered very expensive. Ordinary players would not buy them for the time being, but Xu You and the other scalpers were different. In order to improve efficiency, 1 gold coin was nothing. They would not hesitate to buy 10 gold coins.

However, the NPCs selling bags in the city only sold 10 squares of bags. The larger bags could only be bought from the quartermaster. Xu You had already discovered 12 squares, 16 squares, or even 20 squares of bags there. These bags weren’t expensive to them, but their reputation wasn’t enough for them to get what they wanted.

From this, it could be seen that the reputation of the “New World” was very useful. The quartermaster of each major city was a huge treasure trove. They were waiting for players to gather enough reputation to buy it. However, reputation was not something easy to obtain. After the reputation system was officially opened to all players, Xu You would fully understand this point.

Xu You had temporarily forgotten about the topic of prestige. Now, he only hoped that Dick would recognize him as his disciple.

However, when Xu You arrived in front of Dick, he discovered an acquaintance. That knight player called Hammer of Justice was actually still here. This fellow’s persistence was enough to move China. However, Xu You did not have this intention. He just swaggered in and ignored Hammer of Justice’s vigilant gaze.

“Hey, Dick, I’m coming!” Xu You said carelessly to Dick who was snoring. Actually, he was still a little nervous. Dick, you have to give it a damn.

The Hammer of Justice was amused. It was too easy to wake Dick up. He had already used this method countless times.

“…” Dick was still asleep, regardless of who Xu You was.

“F*ck, I can only use that move.” Xu You was helpless as he took out the sober soup from his bag. This soup was specially used to deal with alcoholics.

At this moment, Hammer of Justice was surprised. It was not easy for the Whiteboard Prince to find this. However, it was useless. He had also tried it before, but what happened next was like a thunderbolt that shattered all of his persistence and hope.

Xu You was still so rude and violent. A bottle of sober-up soup was poured into Dick’s mouth. Dick groaned in pain and finally woke up.

Dick slowly opened his eyes and saw a pair of expectant eyes.

“Master, you still recognize me, don’t you?” This time, Xu You was really going to sing nervously.

“Oh … who are you? Oh, it’s you, Wuyou. What the hell are you doing? Why did you change your name?” Dick’s words weren’t very clear, but Xu You swallowed the heart and liver that were raised to his throat.

“Great, Master, you still recognize me!”

“Nonsense, you look so stupid. Even if you change your name to scum, I still recognize you.”

…

Hammer of Justice stared blankly at what was happening in front of him, but he couldn’t hear anything from Xu You and Dick. It was because from the moment Dick woke up, it was already part of the process of Xu You communicating with the NPC and was protected by the system. At this time, he finally knew that Dick’s mission had been triggered a long time ago. His persistence for so many days was meaningless.

Sometimes you have to have a life, but don’t force it. This sentence is really bitter …
