First Player

Chapter 308 Chapter 306·"But this is saving people"

"Coming from out of town? Traveling, treasure hunting, or attending a sea feast?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, the boss started to smoke.

The mixed smell of tobacco and alcohol filled the air, and Su Mingan frowned slightly.

"All of them." He responded.

"From what I've seen, you don't look like you're short of gold and jewelry." The boss smiled and said, "But you're very interested in cannibalism?"

"Isn't the boss interested?" Su Mingan saw that other locals seemed to be very interested in this.

"No." The boss blew out a smoke ring: "...I haven't lived enough yet. Those crazy people want to go to Yunzhong City after they have lived enough. I can see the facts clearly. The place where the legendary gods live, It’s not that easy... By the way, you came here alone to find out the news? Where are your family members? "

"It's just me." Su Mingan asked: "Boss, the feast at sea...what is the specific content?"

Seeing that the familiar boss seemed unwilling to leave, Su Mingan simply started asking.

"What other rules can there be? Just fight each other." The boss smiled: "The specific rules of the sea feast are changed every year, but they are all the same. The contestants kill each other in this small broken city... Victory The team can meet the princess and obtain a pass to Yunzhong City."

...It’s almost the same as what Su Mingan learned.

Seeing that there was not much information about this feast at sea, Su Mingan turned to ask what he was really interested in.

"Boss, do you have a map here?" He leaned back slightly and deflected the smoke ring the boss blew out.

"What map."

"Map of the city."

"Oh, this is not a coincidence, young man." The boss tapped his thick knuckles on the table: "It's a coincidence that you asked about this map. I am the only one in the east of the city who sells it. The other families are all fishermen. , does not sell maps.”

"Price?" Su Mingan said.

To say that his biggest advantage so far is the pile of Art Stones on his body. He had counted it before, and it was enough to count one hundred and twenty times. It was all the inventory on the Ater.

He had asked Elena before if the local area would accept anything else. He still had a bunch of blood bottles and returned equipment in his backpack, but he got a negative answer. The dungeon doesn't seem to want to let players take advantage of this loophole, and the NPCs don't accept the equipment and props brought by players.

If you want to trade locally, in addition to using the local currency, you can only use special items produced in the current copy such as the Art Stone.

Therefore, Elena is right to call him a "fat sheep".

He did carry enough stuff to buy a city.

Listening to his words, the boss's eyes moved slightly.

He stood up, searched in the cabinet next to him, and pulled out a piece of yellowed parchment.

"Keep it well. It's not easy to make maps. I only have three in stock here. A foreigner like you just came to buy one, and now there are only two left."

The boss slapped the parchment in front of him.

Su Mingan looked at the map.

[Special props · Panoramic map of Praia]

[Panorama Map of Praia: With this map, the streets and alleys of Praia will feel as warm as home in front of you. 】

...It's actually the real thing.

During the team chat, Su Mingan knew that the map of Sea City was a precious thing, and there were many players in the channel chat who were spending a lot of money to buy it.

But now...he just randomly found a tavern and asked about the map, and this thing appeared in front of him.

"What price?" he asked.

"The out-of-towner came to buy just now, and I asked him to pay three hundred coles (currency)." The boss rubbed his chin beard and glanced at him with a pair of small eyes: "You..."

Su Mingan looked at him.

"Dong dong."

The boss showed a somewhat joking smile.

He rapped his thick knuckles on the wooden table: "Drink this juice."

"..."

"If you drink the juice, the map will be given to you for free," the boss said.

Su Mingan laughed.

He didn't know whether this was the benefit brought by his S+ charm, or whether his boss was deliberately making things difficult for him.

How could he drink a drink that had no idea what was added to it?

"For a price, I won't drink the juice."

"Don't drink?"

The boss raised his thick eyebrows.

His face turned slightly gloomy: "It's just a glass of juice, young man, why don't you give me some face, the boss?"

"Businessmen, when you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, why force others to drink." Su Mingan said calmly: "You sell things and I pay for them. Isn't it good to have equal exchange?"

Having watched the World Channel, he probably knows the value of three hundred Coles.

One hundred Coles is equivalent to ten camp contribution points, and three hundred Coles is only thirty camp contribution points.

He can afford it.

But the boss's attitude of forcing people to drink made him feel something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he said the words of rejection, the people in the corner moved.

Broad shadows came out of the corners. When he raised his head, he found that his table had been gradually surrounded.

Even the drunkards who were drinking and playing dice opened their bloodshot eyes at this time, staring at him with a pair of big copper bell-like eyes.

The singing dancer stopped singing, and someone slowly closed the wooden door.

Facing everyone's malicious looks, Su Mingan tapped his fingers on the table.

"That's it." Su Mingan said, "You are in the same group."

When the boss sat down just now, he thought he was a good man who was alone in the chaos and was here to protect him. Now it seems that these people are still working together.

The boss was polite to him just now, and he was probably trying to find out his background. When he found that there was really no one following him, this group of people began to reveal their true colors.

There is nothing good in this muddy area. This shabby city is probably full of taverns like this that traffic in foreigners.

The boss stood up, his tall body blocking the light.

He stretched out his hand and took out a long knife and hemp rope from the cabinet, and other people with malicious intentions also joined in.

"By the way, take down the table next to you, too." The boss said to a thug.

The big men walked towards the couple next to them. The out-of-town couple turned pale and even stopped pouting.

"Ka-Kasan!"

"Xiao Na! Hide behind me, I will definitely protect you!"

"Kasan, I..."

"Xiao Na, don't be afraid, stand behind me!"

The young man in the couple stood up suddenly and protected the woman behind him. The veins on his face were exposed and he roared at the top of his lungs at the big man:

“You bastards—

——If you want to touch Xiaona, just step on my body first! "

Su Mingan watched this scene with his eyes moving slightly.

The next moment, the stick in the big man's hand hit the young man on the head with a "snap".

The young man shuddered and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Kasan! Kasan—" the woman screamed.

Su Mingan withdrew his gaze.

On the side, the boss approached him and twisted the rope in his hand.

"Don't move, I don't want to hit you." The boss sneered: "We still have to thank you stupid foreigners for our life to be so good."

"Really?" Su Mingan glanced at the big man in the store: "I want to thank you for sending me a lot of information."

"What to give?" The boss was stunned.

Su Mingan stood up.

In his hand, he held a long sword covered with black flowing liquid.

…

【Three minutes later】

"Would you like to drink?"

"..."

"It's just a glass of juice, boss, why don't you give me some face?"

Under the dim overhead light, Su Ming'an was sitting on the counter, with a shirtless man kneeling below.

There were large and small scars on their bodies, and some even had missing arms and legs.

The boss at the front looked miserable. His whole body was tightly strangled by hemp ropes, and his fat was sticking out.

A lighter appeared in Su Mingan's hand, which he had just found on the counter.

There was a "click" and the flame lit up. He stretched out his hand and the flame of the lighter swayed on the boss's hair.

"Wait... don't, drink, I'll drink!" The boss was so frightened that his face turned pale.

...He really met a devil!

He crawled hard, arched forward like a worm, and opened his mouth to catch the juice. The cup in Su Mingan's hand was tilted slightly, and the liquid fell into the boss's mouth in a straight line.

Not long after, the boss's body suddenly stiffened, he fell directly to the ground, and began to sleep soundly.

The people around him lowered their heads, not daring to look at this scene, and looked particularly sad.

After hunting geese all day long, they were pecked and blinded. They never thought that such a day would happen to them.

Facing people's frightened looks, Su Mingan laughed, put the juice cup aside, found the last map from the counter, and walked out.

He looked at the layout of the map. There are ports in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Praia, which can handle tourists from all places. The east and west of the city are residential areas with various shops and residential houses. The north of the city is close to the royal city, where the royal family and nobles of Praia live. To the south of the city is where the Yunshang Church and Soul Hunting Headquarters are located.

Among them, there is an island library in the center of Praia, which contains books recording the history and knowledge of Praia, which should contain many clues.

Su Mingan's current first goal is still the soul hunting registration point in the east of the city. There are three soul hunting registration points in Praia, one in the east, west and south. The nearest registration point in the east of the city is only separated by two waterways.

He was looking at the map here, and the man and woman who had been rescued came up to them carefully.

"Um...thank you for saving me and Xiaona." The young man spoke first. There was still a red mark on his forehead, and the mark of the stick had not disappeared.

The young woman named Xiaona seemed a little shy and hid behind the young man without speaking.

Looking at the attitudes of these two people, Su Mingan guessed that they were a pair of NPCs who were travelers.

If these two people were players, they would most likely say some player slang at this time, such as requesting to form a team, sharing clues, etc. If they could apologize so seriously, they would most likely be an NPC.

"It's okay." Su Mingan said.

"Xiao Na and I came from the Krissa Empire in the east. We originally just wanted to experience the exotic scenery of some island cities, but we didn't expect this place to be so chaotic..." The young man said, "Well... you are so powerful, Are you a soul hunter from another country? The ship Xiaona and I are on is still in trade, and we can’t return for the time being. I, I want to hire you to protect Xiaona and me for a few days."

At this time, a system prompt also popped up.

This is a C-level mission, the content of which is to protect either Kasan or Cortana to survive until the fifth day.

Looking at this task, Su Mingan was a little confused. Obviously, this mission seems to be quite difficult. Kasan and Xiaona are also people with little fighting ability. Protecting them for two nights puts a heavy burden on the players, but it is actually only a C-level mission.

He rejected Kassan's request. This kind of task only had a reward of thirty points, which was better than nothing for him and was a waste of time.

"Don't you have any soul hunters in your fleet?"

"No." Kasan shook his head: "Soul hunting requires talent, which is too rare... Our Krisa Empire is just a small country, and there are no powerful soul hunters... I heard that there is a god in Praia I was blessed with a large number of soul hunters, so I dared to come here with confidence, but I didn't expect that the temperament of the local people was also so sinister..."

Su Mingan nodded, turned around and left.

With the map in hand, he no longer needed to communicate with these NPCs.

"wait wait wait!"

At this moment, shy Xiaona spoke.

"Master Soul Hunter, won't you kill those people in the tavern?" She stopped him.

Su Ming'an paused.

He suddenly smelled a strange smell on Xiaona.

Like the smell of disinfectant, the smell was extremely special, as if it came naturally from her body.

"Why kill?" He responded without thinking about the smell on her body.

"They, they are all human traffickers! They have committed such heinous crimes, shouldn't they be punished on the spot?" Xiaona said, feeling a little emotional: "If you let them go today, they will continue to do such evil things tomorrow. Deal, if you let one evil person go, you will harm countless good people!"

Su Mingan turned around and said, "There are royal laws in Praia, and outsiders are prohibited from killing locals."

He had learned this information in the channel chat.

"——But are we saving people?" Xiaona said loudly: "We are punishing criminals, not killing good people. I believe the people in Praia will understand..."

"You can be stupid." Su Mingan walked away directly.

From the information he had received before, he could tell that Praia was not a good city.

You can encounter this kind of incident in any pub, which shows that human trafficking in Praia is very rampant.

In fact, this is their main industry.

It is this sinful industry that supports them to operate until now, and supports them to continue to lure outsiders who are greedy for wealth to come and find out.

Once the people who make the rules and those responsible for implementing them collude, the so-called right of outsiders to speak is of no value at all.

Challenging the rules and trying to assert "justice" is seen by leaders as nothing more than a challenge to authority.

"Justice" has no value on this natively constructed island.

He walked away and heard the men and women talking quietly behind him.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaona. If the soul hunter refuses to protect us, I will do my best to protect you..."

"Kasang, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid of those soul clans..."

"Don't be afraid..."

"Kasan, you are so kind. How about going to the park with me? I want to give you a reward..."

The voices of men and women gradually faded away.

Su Mingan bypassed the waterway and came to a deserted alley, and Su Lin's memory stone appeared in his hand.
