Indescribable cyberpunk

After successfully driving away the monsters, Zhu Jue did not choose to take risks elsewhere. He was going to the Skye River Stone Bridge outside Neil City at dusk today. He couldn't go very far in the remaining few hours, so he might as well stay in the tower. .

Elder Atal objected to Zhu Jue's decision, but the latter ignored him at all, and made him willingly shut up with a sumptuous free lunch.

"Do you know where there are many treasures?"

Holding a chicken drumstick in his hand, Zhu Jue's question was quite straightforward.

"If I know where the treasure is, why are I still sitting here wasting time?"

Atal took a bite of the steak angrily, dug his little finger into the back of his neck and said with a curl of his lips.

"You always know one or two places where there may be news about treasures. Don't tell me that you have forgotten everything when you are old."

Zhu Jue raised his foot and tapped a brown bag on the table not far away, and then said,

"Don't think I haven't seen it. Just now you used my name to ask for a lot of donations from the mayor of Usa Town. If you push me into a hurry and take them all away, you will sit on the top of the tower and drink northwest medicine every day. Wind it!”

"Hey~ didn't you also get a gem? Although the quality is a bit worse, it is still a gem. As the person who recommended you to help, why do you charge some money?"

Too lazy to argue with Atal, Zhu Jue stood up and walked towards the money bag. After spending the past two days together, he finally understood that it was useless to argue with this old man. He had to use practical actions to make him understand his thoughts.

"It takes about a week to go south along the River Skye to the ocean. Residents here in Ultha Town will hardly go to that place, but those who travel by boat or drive caravans with mules Businessmen pushing two-wheeled trucks all come from that direction.”

For the sake of his own wallet, Atal was willing to risk everything, and then said,

"There is a huge port city over there called Dilas. I have been there before. The reputation of this city is not very good. I heard that there are often black triremes loaded with gems. It is unclear which coast leads to that port city. The merchants who came out of these sailing ships to trade with the jewelers were all humans, or basically human beings, but no one had ever seen the oars that rowed these sailing ships. It is a distribution center for news from all over the world. I just talked to some of them at the sailor's tavern in the port. Some of them looked a little strange. They often covered their faces and didn't look very friendly. I don't think they are friendly to you. question, so it should meet your requirements.”

"A week?"

Compared to the strange sailor, Zhu Jue was more concerned about the time spent on the road. He didn't think Atal could make up a temporary place to deceive him. It was just that he only stayed in this world for a total of three days each time, and it took a week on the road. Besides wandering around Usa Town on the return trip, where else could Zhu Jue go?

"I mean it takes a week from Ursa Town to Dilas City. Since you want to go back, maybe your current residence will be closer to Dilas."

"Tsk, I have a question. You know the gentleman, that is, Nelson, how long does he stay in Neil City and Usa Town? Let me change the question, when was the last time he came to see you?"

Zhu Jue didn't believe it if the gentleman, like them, only stayed in this world for three days.

He can only come here for three days a month, so why does he get a title in Neil City?

"About two weeks ago."

"What I want to know is the exact time. Two weeks and one day is two weeks ago, and three weeks is two weeks ago!"

Zhu Jue dislikes ambiguous and vague answers.

"Not three weeks, just one or two days more than two weeks. Does it matter?"

Atal didn't understand why Zhu Jue was so sensitive to this time, but he still gave the answer after thinking about it.

"The next time the gentleman comes to look for you, I may not be in Usa Town. He will definitely avoid me. What are you going to do then, run away?"

Without answering Atal's question directly, Zhu Jue directed the topic to another matter.

"He just wants the "Nakter Codex", why should I run?"

"Didn't it get stolen?"

"You are the only one who knows about this, right?"

Atal was still eating the steak calmly, obviously not worried about the coming crisis.

"You want to lie to him?"

Zhu Jue looked at Atal in surprise and then said,

"I have to remind you that the gentleman is not an idiot, and in terms of combat power comparison, he can easily kill you with his hands tied."

"How can you say it's a lie? This is an act of self-defense based on protecting one's own life. It's true that I haven't read the "Nakite Manuscript", but isn't it just an incomprehensible book? The ancient books in my collection are not Sir, Sir Nelson may be a scholar among you, but in Dreamland, facing this old guy like me, he is this!"

Stretching out his little finger that was still picking up earwax just now, Atal's expression was one of pride.

Zhu Jue didn't have much to say about Atal's unknown source of confidence. After all, his life and death had nothing to do with him. He waited until noon and set off back to Neil City.

The three-day journey ends with a rendezvous on the River Skye.

No one had any accidents. Except for AK and Rhino, who had ugly expressions, the other three people had no changes.

The gentleman's eyes lingered on Zhu Jue for a moment, because from the beginning he noticed that the latter kept winking at him, as if he had something to say.

"Mr. Rhino, if I remember correctly, this is your third trip. I hope you can succeed before the next trip, otherwise you will need to pay some liquidated damages."

Instead of talking directly to Zhu Jue, the gentleman first turned to Rhino and said in a deep voice. The latter nodded with a wry smile, bowed somewhat flatteringly to show that he knew, and would deliver the things immediately after returning.

According to the contract they signed, they must make a breakthrough in awakening their spiritual power during the three journeys, otherwise they will have to pay something as liquidated damages to continue their journey.

This is undoubtedly exploitation in disguise.

However, Rhino, who has realized the special nature of the dream world, has no idea of ​​giving up. In his opinion, as long as his soul can be awakened, let alone paying liquidated damages, it is okay for him to pay for it himself.

Perhaps he will understand that this is not actually a good thing until the day when his mental power truly reaches a breakthrough.

Zhu Jue, who knew part of the truth of the matter, lingered between Gentleman and Black Swan, estimating the combat power these two people could exert.

Kill them both directly?

This is undoubtedly the stupidest decision. Maybe it doesn't take Zhu Jue too much time to achieve this, but it is refreshing, but the subsequent troubles are enough to give him a headache for a long time.

This is not a game. After killing someone, the opponent will not receive props or treasure chest keys, and no one can guarantee whether the gentleman will have a back-up plan other than Black Swan.

In case this guy still has a real team hiding in the dark, Zhu Jue jumping out like a fool at this time is equivalent to giving up his advantage in the dark.

Not to mention that he hasn't even figured out where the space door is and how to enter the underground space where it is located.

There were too many uncertain factors, and Zhu Jue had to find a way to figure out the most critical points before he started to consider eliminating these two people.

Fortunately, he still has plenty of time now. The gentleman is overt and he is undercover, and the pros and cons are obvious at a glance.

"You guys should go back with Black Swan first. Mr. Wind Chime and I still have something to discuss."

After pushing the other three people away, there were only two people left on the stone bridge. The gentleman then continued,

"What's your business?"

Compared with his attitude when he first came in three days ago, the gentleman's tone when talking to Zhu Jue was now alienated.

But precisely because of this attitude, Zhu Jue knew that the gentleman had not decided to attack him because of the previous conflict in Usa Town, otherwise he would be smiling all over his face now, and it would not be any different from before.

"I got a treasure that I can't use. I know you have a lot of resources, so I want to exchange it with you."

Zhu Jue's original plan was to use apology as an excuse, but after thinking about it on the way back, he decided to continue to maintain his previous attitude. Deliberately trying to please would only arouse suspicion.

"Oh? Is it convenient to take it out and take a look?"

Not surprisingly, the gentleman is very interested in the treasures in the dreamland.

So Zhu Jue looked around mysteriously, and then carefully took out the gem he had received from the guard captain.

Of course, this is an "improved" gem.

There was originally nothing inside the translucent outer gemstone, but now there was a ball of gravel rolling and flowing inside!

The deep red sunset light at dusk shines on it, which is really mysterious and strange.

The gentleman's eyes locked on the gem almost immediately, and the hand hanging casually by his side clenched subconsciously.

This scene was seen by Zhu Jue, who was standing next to him, and the corner of his mouth turned up inadvertently. It was obvious that the gentleman was very interested in this gem that contained a group of living gravel.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Last time you stopped me from killing the old man. Later, I deliberately came to the door with a bunch of things to apologize. Hey, the old man was a greedy guy, and then he asked me to help Wusha Town. The garrison team solved the monsters that appeared in the town. After that, I got this gem from the garrison team's warehouse. They didn't know the goods and thought it was broken and worthless, so they used it to get rid of me. Little did they know that it was a treasure. !”

Things in Usa Town could not be kept secret, so Zhu Jue discussed the matter with Atal before coming and agreed on the same approach.

"What do you want to change?"

At this point, the gentleman didn't even bother to pretend to Zhu Jue. He had been in this world for more than five years. He thought he had handled many treasures, but he had never seen such a magical gem.

Of course he hasn't seen it.

This thing is from aliens!
