Indescribable cyberpunk

Chapter 303 Pumpkin Man

As a "newcomer" who had only entered a different space by accident, Zhu Jue naturally had no chance to speak in this team exchange.

However, he was also happy to be a listener. He left his desk early and leaned against the nearby bookshelf, thinking that he might be able to learn more useful information from these people's conversations.

However, when the discussion began, Zhu Jue realized that there would be no exchange of information as he had imagined. Just as the gentleman said before, he was an intermediary and guide. Under normal circumstances, he would not exchange some of his own information with these people. idea.

Therefore, the current situation cannot be called a team communication at all. For the gentleman, it is more like a routine meeting. The main content is not to discuss the experiences during the trip, but the gentleman keeps talking about the next trip. Issues that need attention and what time to gather tomorrow and what to prepare.

Is this considered a team?

Zhu Jue looked at the other people without trace, and unexpectedly found that these people seemed to be used to this state. Rhino and AK nodded frequently in a flattering manner after the gentleman finished each sentence. They were undoubtedly two "licking dogs" ".

On the other hand, Black Swan remained silent. Not only did she not nod, Zhu Jue even had a vague feeling that she was not as interested in this one-sided meeting as he was.

Her rich experience makes her not care about the superficial things the gentleman said?

Or is there some other reason?

Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was talking to him, Zhu Jue recalled the gentleman's introduction to the three of them when they first entered. Black Swan was a newcomer who had traveled five times, Rhino two, and AK was simply a newcomer.

And he remembered correctly. The gentleman said that Shuo Shu, who gave him the key to Shuojin Bank before, was also a traveler who only made one trip five years ago.

This is a bit strange, since Shuo Shu already existed in Gentleman's team five years ago, and the tone of Zhu Jue's words when he first met Gentleman can undoubtedly prove that Gentleman already had someone with him five years ago. Similar status now.

Then here comes the problem.

In five years, the person in this team who traveled the most besides the gentleman was actually the Black Swan?

As a man's wardrobe, Heilan House has to be visited twice a year, even if it is purchased once and returned. Is this fantasy world only allowed to be visited once a year?

This guess is obviously incorrect.

That being the case, where have the rest of the team been in the past five years?

The lack of information caused various doubts to arise in Zhu Jue's mind. He wanted to ask clearly, but he also knew that it was not the right time.

However, the gentleman seemed to have remembered something midway through his words. He turned to Zhu Jue and said, "Mr. Feng Chime, you need to prepare a set of clothes that fit the European medieval social environment before tomorrow night. This is very important. I suggest you do it now." You can start looking for customized merchants in this area online, and if necessary, I can also introduce you to my personal tailor."

"What?"

Zhu Jue, who was immersed in thinking, did not understand the meaning of the gentleman's words for a moment.

"If you want to hide your identity, you have to change from the inside out. Are you going to wear the clothes you have now?"

The social environment in the dreamland is different from modern society. The shirt and trousers Zhu Jue wore were obviously inappropriate, as if he was wearing an assassin suit to assassinate.

He is so handsome, trying to hide his identity is nonsense.

"Well, I understand. In fact, after listening for so long, I found that I don't understand the situation in Dreamland at all. Can I ask this friend to explain it to me in detail later?"

If there is a problem, it must be solved. Zhu Jue cannot trust a gentleman. If he asks him directly, he is afraid that he will get some unidentified information. On AK’s shoulders, I chose to let him talk to me.

Although he has only experienced one trip, he has been to that world and must know some information. And judging from the first reaction of the three people when they saw him when they entered the door, Black Swan will probably refuse, and Rhino will follow There seems to be some friendship between wild boars. Maybe it’s because they both have rough-skinned and thick-flesh animal codes?

Only this AK clearly showed goodwill. Under the premise that the situation was unknown, Zhu Jue naturally had to choose someone who was easy to "coax".

"Of course, as long as Mr. AK has no objections, I will not interfere with the members' private communications."

The gentleman seemed very generous about this, but if someone stood where AK is now, he would find that the gentleman's eyes are actually directed here, and he does not mean much pleasure.

Zhu Jue asked someone else instead of a gentleman, which in itself was a kind of distrust. For the latter, it was naturally dissatisfying for the latter to not receive a response to the kind actions he had done before.

"I"

AK who can participate in this kind of team will naturally not be a fool. Realizing that if he nods, the boss of the team may be unhappy, he immediately puts on an embarrassed look and wants to refuse.

"Hey~ friend, you may have misunderstood, this is not without reward."

Zhu Jue took his hand out of his pocket and deliberately turned the back of his hand toward the gentleman to hold AK's hand. What was inside was not coins, let alone the prayer scroll from Uzza Church, but the gems he had obtained before. When AK He turned his head and was surprised to see what was inside, and at the same time continued,

"I got the wild boar collection before, and I don't know anything about it. This is a deposit. As long as you give it in detail, I will give you more."

"Well, I don't think it's very good. Let's forget it. Since these things are Mr. Wild Boar's inheritance, I have no reason to take them. You can take them back first."

AK refused again, but the palm holding the gem tightened and then relaxed.

"That's a pity. It seems that those coins can't impress you, but I thought they were some good things."

Zhu Jue was not persistent, so he took back the gem and continued to stand.

"Mr. Wind Chime, if you have any questions, you can ask me. I am quite interested in coins in the dreamland."

The gentleman interjected at this point.

"Haha, forget it. I don't want to take advantage of you with something that even AK doesn't want."

This time it was Zhu Jue's turn to refuse, because he didn't have any coins with him at all, only the gems he carried with him.

The gentleman didn't say anything more about this. When the meeting came to an end, he mentioned that he planned to take everyone to complete a common mission on the next trip.

"This is something I bought from other traveler groups with money. You can take a look."

Opening the zipper, the gentleman took out a yellow object from his backpack. Zhu Jue took a step forward to see it clearly.

Connected to the bottom of the thumb-sized dark green end is an oblate orange pumpkin. However, this is not a simple fruit or vegetable, but a pumpkin the size of a human head, with a hollowed-out Halloween ghost-shaped pumpkin inside.

"What's this?"

Not only Zhu Jue was confused, AK next to him asked aloud.

The gentleman did not answer, but instead reached for a pen on the desk, took off the cap of the pen, looked around at the people around him, then pointed the pen tip down and without hesitation, pierced the dark green end of the Halloween pumpkin head. .

However, at the moment when the pen tip was about to penetrate, dozens of dark green threads that looked like plant stems sprouted from the end, blocking the pen in mid-air. The gentleman had already let go of his hand.

The originally motionless pumpkin head suddenly began to tremble, and with a "gurgling" sound, the pens that broke off the pens immediately surged as if they had been stimulated, covering the entire table in just a few seconds.

The gentleman and the black swan took two steps back, while the rhinoceros and the AK looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. As for Zhu Jue, he walked around behind a bookshelf and observed secretly through the gap between the compartments.

But when the number of stem threads exceeded a certain limit, Zhu Jue discovered that they were showing signs of entanglement and closing.

The pumpkin head was still on the table, but the stems that were supposed to be spread out were swinging wildly in mid-air like "furious", and finally began to gradually entangle and transform into a kind of stem fiber about two meters high. Human torso!

There are no hands or feet, only stem filaments that are still active and twitching, extending in all directions like the tentacles of an octopus.

I saw the two "slender" long legs of stems falling directly to the floor of the room at the moment they were formed. The stems spread out and stabilized the figure. Then, like a person who had just woken up, a "Carp beat up", he brought up the pumpkin head. The pumpkin head, which had no expression before, seemed to be given life at this moment. Both the hollow eyes and the wide mouth were distorted at this moment. Variety!

"Pumpkin Man?"

Zhu Jue, who was behind the bookshelf, looked at the monster transformed from a pumpkin in front of him and whispered to himself in surprise.

"This is a monster we found in an abandoned farm near Neil City. It has been defeated now, but I let it bask in the sun for a while so it resurrected. After the energy is exhausted, it will Become the same again.”

The gentleman was only halfway through his words when the majestic pumpkin man just now withered completely. After the energy in his body was used up, the stems retracted and turned back into the pumpkin and fell back to the table. The gentleman put it back in his backpack before continuing. ,

"This kind of pumpkin can help you feel your spiritual power and strengthen your vitality to a certain extent. I bought the news from others at a large price. Now I choose to share it with a few people and I will take it with me on my trip tomorrow. Come on, everyone, if there is a harvest then, I will take half of each pumpkin as a reward!"

This is the information provision and reward that the gentleman mentioned before. He can use his network to obtain some information that newcomers like them don't know, and the latter needs to pay accordingly.

50%

This rate of return is undoubtedly a bit high in Zhu Jue's opinion.

It’s just that Rhino and AK next to them don’t seem to have any objections to this, and it can even be said that they readily accept the price.
