Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Horror Tavern
Yesterday, Xu You made Zhao Chen cry. Finally, he asked Xu You to tell her his real contact information. This made Xu You somewhat puzzled. When the Chenxi sisters joined his team, he had mentioned exchanging contact information. However, the two sisters refused. They said that they did not have QQ numbers, so Xu You, Qingwu and the others did not force it.
But when Zhao Chen said he wanted it again, Xu You was confused. However, he still told Zhao Chen his QQ number and added a friend last night. Xu You had asked her for his contact information last night. Why did she have a QQ number again? It was very high-grade. It wasn’t a new application at first glance. This was clearly a lie to them.
However, Zhao Chen managed to cope with it with a haha. He joked that it was because she wanted to go to his house to find him, because the information on Xu You’s QQ was very complete. It was obvious that Xu You was really stupid.
However, tonight, Xu You finally understood what Zhao Chen wanted to do. After dinner, he received a message from an unfamiliar number on his phone, “I’m Zhao Chen. Let’s talk on Q!” Needless to say, Zhao Chen definitely knew Xu You’s mobile phone number through QQ information.
Xu You felt that Zhao Chen was very strange before he went offline today. He also wanted to ask what was going on, so he turned on his computer and logged on to QQ.
But as soon as he logged in, Zhao Chen started to bombard Le Wuyou, you actually misled me today. I’ll remember you!
“Yue Wuyou, I’m in a bad mood today. Don’t misunderstand!”
“Mine came. It wasn’t in a good condition at that time …”
A large number of messages were sent one after another, explaining what happened before he went offline today. Xu You, who was confused, knew the answer before he could ask. Since that was the case, he didn’t need to do anything else. He only replied, “I know, what do you want?”
Zhao Chen replied, “I want you to help me with my tutoring!”
“Tutoring what?”
“How to be a qualified mage!”
“Holy crap!”
…
Night came quietly. When the clock pointed to 21 o’clock, Xu You, who had sent Zhao Chen to take a bath, appeared in the empty instance dungeon again. With the use of the cunning treasure, he left Cave of East Sea.
At this moment that door of Cave of East Sea was no long lively, Xu You, who had activated the Aura of Divine Speed, sprinted all the way to the first dock again. His incredibly fast movement speed had alarmed countless passers-by. Fortunately, the game had been running for more than 10 or 20 days. All sorts of strange and mysterious skills were no longer rare, because many players liked to show off their powerful skills on the forums.
“Dick, Dick!” Before Xu You could reach Dick’s nest, he started shouting.
But Dick didn’t respond. Was he drunk again? When Xu You turned into Dick’s alley, he found that his guess was correct. Dick was lying on the ground with the ground as his bed and the sky as his quilt.
“I knew it. Fortunately, we’re prepared.” Xu You took out the sober soup from the item bar and poured it into Dick’s mouth.
“Oh … who gave me this to drink again? It tastes terrible.” Dick woke up very quickly.
“Dick, Teacher, Master, Boss, do you know where magic cores are sold?” Xu You hurriedly asked. He was looking for Dick because of this. He felt that he couldn’t wait any longer. He had to find all the ingredients for the Cunning Treasure as soon as possible.
“It’s you, Wuyou … Magic core, what is that?” Dick said in a daze. He was still half-awake at first glance.
“Well, do you know where I can sell gold ingots and magic stones?”
“What do you want those minerals for? Did you learn the sidelines?”
“You can say that. I’m here to make something!”
“Oh oh, those things aren’t unusual, aren’t they on the black market?”
“Black market? Where is it?” When Xu You heard about the “black market”, he knew that Dick must have some connections.
“It’s in the horrible tavern on the east side of the Undead Race’s main city, Recovery City. There are a lot of things to sell there. Mm, there are also a lot of good wine. Help me buy a few bottles.” Dick seemed to be very obedient when he was drunk and would answer any questions he asked.
“No problem, but do you have any conditions to enter?” Xu You had better ask clearly. Last time, he looked for Lachwick but couldn’t find him for more than half a day because Dick couldn’t explain it clearly.
“Tickets cost 10 gold coins!”
“Good!” After saying that, Xu You ran away.
‘”Remember to buy me some wine” Dick wiped the saliva from his mouth with his hand and murmured.
However, Xu You had already run far away. How could he still hear Dick’s words? Dick didn’t get a response and didn’t seem to care. He just said something, “I seem to have forgotten to tell that brat that he’s still Level 30 when he enters the door. Furthermore, I … well, I’d better sleep first.”
Soon, Dick’s snoring sounded in the alley.
…
Recovery City was located in the southwest of the continent. It was the main city of the Undead. It could be said that the number of players who chose Recovery City as their main city was the smallest among the six main cities. The reason for that was naturally the gloomy environment and terrifying atmosphere of the main arena.
As the Tyrrhenian Forest, where the City of Recovery is located, is shrouded in a grey mist all year round, Even in broad daylight, he couldn’t see much distance. There wasn’t enough light, making him look gloomy. At night, it was even darker. Looking up, he couldn’t see the stars or the moon. Only the city of recovery had some light, but it was still extremely dim. When Xu You appeared in the teleportation array of the city of recovery, a gust of cold wind blew past, causing one to tremble.
“No wonder so few people chose Recovery City as their main city. This place is a bit gloomy.” Xu You walked east while observing the surroundings. He discovered that there were very few players here. Normally, the vicinity of the main city’s teleportation array was very lively, but the city of recovery was different. The teleportation array area here was very quiet, and there weren’t many players. There weren’t even many voices. The streets looked very quiet and spacious, just like the dead city in horror movies. It really took a lot of courage to play and live here.
Xu You watched for a while and discovered that there was really no scenery to see in the main city at night. Other than darkness, some places were even pitch-black. Thus, he began to concentrate on his journey. In the City of Recovery, his speed could be maximized.
The main city of the “New World” was not small, nor was the City of Recovery. By the time Xu You found the Terror Tavern according to the map, it was already close to 22 o’clock.
To Xu You’s surprise, the east of Recovery City seemed to be the bustling area of the main city. The number of players in this area had obviously increased, and there were a lot of street lights. At this moment, Xu You could clearly see the surroundings, and because of this, he could see the words’ Horror Tavern ‘at a glance.
The Horror Tavern didn’t look terrifying. It was just a two-story building. Its appearance wasn’t much different from the tavern in City of Sunrise, but Xu You felt that it was strange. Was there really a black market in this small tavern? Dick can’t be fooling him again.
Xu You walked into the tavern with doubts. There weren’t many people in the tavern, almost all of them NPCs. Only a few players sat in different corners, enjoying the expensive food and wine on the table.
“I heard that the three people on the Reputation Rankings cleared the difficulty level instance dungeon in City of Sunrise. The rating is S, is that true?”
“Really, the forum has already sent out screenshots of the evaluation rankings over there. There’s no mistake.”
“Don’t tell me there’s no PS?”
“Are you that bored?”
“It’s hard to say. I haven’t been feeling well these past few days. People do strange things whenever they don’t feel well.”
…
The surrounding players were all talking about the S-rating incident that happened at noon today. However, Xu You didn’t want to hear about these insignificant things. What he wanted to hear was clues about the black market. However, the players and NPCs here didn’t seem to know about this. It was obvious that this tavern wasn’t a black market either.
Xu You pondered for a while before walking towards the bar counter. If there was any difficulty, he would look for an NPC. Here, he would definitely look for the tavern owner. Dick said that this was a black shop. There shouldn’t be any mistake. There was no reason why the tavern owner didn’t know about it.
“Hello, Mr. Luke.” Xu You walked to the chair in front of the bar and sat down. He greeted Luke, the tavern owner who was washing glasses.
“Hello, young man. Would you like something to drink?” Luke was an undead and could not tell his age, but that was normal. Wasn’t skeletons the same?
“Just give me a bottle of Roma wine.”
“Alright!” Luke revealed his white teeth. It was a little scary. However, to an old game bird, this was nothing. Undead were just a race. They had gotten used to it after watching for a long time. In fact, some skeletons were very cute.
In less than five minutes, a glass of Roma wine with a strong wine fragrance was placed in front of Xu You. Roma wine was a very famous and common wine in Victorious Return Continent. It tasted very good. I heard that in reality, there were manufacturers who wanted to produce this kind of drink. I wonder if they would succeed.
Xu You drank a mouthful of the purple liquid in the cup, and a sweet and mellow smell came down his throat. This was simply too wonderful.
“How about it? I’m not inferior to those dwarves, am I?” Luke asked with a smile.
“It’s delicious. Uncle Luke, your cooking is amazing!” Xu You said.
“Hahaha!” Luke enjoyed Xu You’s compliments.
“Well, Uncle Luke, I want to ask you something!” Xu You was still a little anxious.
“What is it?” Luke was still smiling, but his eyes flashed with caution.
Seeing this, Xu You opened the door and asked, “Uncle, do you have anything good to sell here?”
The facts proved that Xu You’s choice was correct. Luke saw Xu You speak his purpose bluntly, and the caution in his eyes disappeared. He smiled and said, “Your conditions are not enough.”
Xu You knew what he meant and hurriedly said, “I’ve brought enough money. Ten gold coins is not a problem.”
“Hmm? You actually know about the tickets? Looks like you were introduced by someone. Unfortunately, the person who introduced you was too careless. Didn’t he tell you that you had to reach Level 30 to enter that place?” Luke was even more relieved when he heard someone introduce Xu You.
“What? That bastard Dick lied to me again!” Hearing this, Xu You was enraged. Dick really made fun of him.
“Dick, which Dick?” Luke’s expression changed when he heard Dick’s words. His hands suddenly grabbed Xu You’s shoulder and asked anxiously.
“It’s Dick, that damn drunkard City of Sunrise!” Xu You was confused. Could it be that Dick’s name had spread here? Didn’t Dick say that not many people recognized him now? However, Xu You was still very cautious and did not reveal Dick’s true identity.
“Ah! It’s him, the damn drunkard of Sunrise City. He actually dared to drink here on credit last time! Who are you?” Luke was very excited after hearing Xu You’s words.
“What?” Xu You obviously didn’t expect this answer.
“What, what? I asked you who Dick was? Did he ask you to come find me?” Luke was so angry that he would never forget Dick, who dared to drink all his wine without paying for it.
Xu You quickly saw some clues from Luke’s face. He narrowed his eyes and said angrily, “Who am I, Dick? I am his creditor, and he owes me hundreds of gold! If I didn’t use some tricks this time, why would he tell me this is …”
“Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Luke was nervous this time.
“Nonsense, that Dick is too hateful. He actually owes money and doesn’t pay it back. His character is low. He is simply a scum. I think I know him.” It was rare for Xu You to openly scold Dick in front of others, so he naturally couldn’t let this opportunity slip by.
‘”Well said! He’s just a scum” Luke cursed at Dick, his face red and ears red. Xu You could not help but see a trace of cunning in Luke’s eyes when he saw his appearance.
