Quadruple split

Game time AM12:09

"I don't understand why you always make the place where you usually stay look like a haunted house!"

Next to the dimly lit fireplace, the tall Highland man complained loudly and unhappily. His ferocious expression contrasted sharply with his trembling majestic body.

"I also do not understand……"

With a head of black hair with a few strands of red highlights, the expressionless cat tribe orc glared at him fiercely: "Why do you, a loser, become a coward as long as you are in a slightly drowsy environment? Were you scared to death when you looked in the mirror?"

The petite girl in mid-air (because she was wearing bloomers, there was no danger of being exposed) sighed and turned her eyes to her friend beside her: "To be honest, Shang Shang, if our relationship wasn't as close as it is now, I would definitely start fighting."

The man known as Shang Shang shrugged and took out a book from the bookshelf he was leaning on. He flipped through it while shaking his head and said, "Portos pinched his face so ugly that it affected the image."

"I'm not that picky."

The petite elf girl fell on the fireplace, swaying her legs indifferently, and looked at the surrounding environment with interest: "By the way, Aramis spent a lot of money to buy this place, right?"

In her eyes, it must be a big expense to decorate a private room in a public space like this.

Yes, this is the private room in the public space of Aramis, the president of the [Bathing in Fire] guild, who is famous in the gaming industry with the ID of 'Typing Warrior'. In terms of style, it is similar to Ito's luxurious seaside house and Futaba. The large cyberpunk-style living room is completely different. In a word, it is a British-style study room with a very spacious area and a very dark color.

There are fireplaces, lounge chairs, kerosene lamps and old-fashioned record players. The bookshelves covering almost all the walls are filled with various books, and they are all readable.

It was fixed dusk outside the window. Although the light of the chandelier was soft, it was as dim as the firelight in the fireplace. But in fact it was just dim, not depressing or scary.

At least that's the case for most people.

"It doesn't cost much."

In the high-backed chair behind the ebony table, Aramis, wearing a black and red leather armor suit with a pair of simple daggers hanging on his waist, replied casually, and then put on his detachable hood. He hung it on his index finger and played with it while looking at Porthos huddled by the fireplace with a smile: "Seriously, have you never dared to sleep alone until now?"

"Roll the calf and smash it."

Although they were all wearing heavy armor, each part had a completely different style. The style of painting was so curious that it almost ruined the word 'mix and match'. Porthos snorted and made a rough gesture to Aramis. This man with muscular muscles, healthy complexion, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a big beard must be at least two meters tall. Even if he is sitting on the ground, he is still a giant, but his expression is timid: "I always feel that there are people in this kind of place. Ah Piao..."

"There are also cute ones like me. I can also float."

The miniature elf girl with a silvery hair like a woolen roll fluttered the pair of translucent wings behind her that were invisible to the naked eye. She pointed at Portos seriously and said, after getting along with each other for this period of time, this girl named Wu Nian She is almost being raised as a daughter by Porthos.

"So you really decided to compete with us two casual players?"

Perhaps because he had a premonition that this rather boring topic might last for a long time, the only serious-looking person present, Yu Shang, who was a half-dragon and spent most of his time covering his right eye with side bangs, turned to the topic. When it came to business, the girl, who was always wearing a windbreaker suit, looked at Aramis with a frown, and said hesitantly: "I remember that the main force of your guild has settled in the Realm of Innocence, why don't you fight with them? "

Aramis twitched his ears (he didn't like doing this since he discovered that he could freely control the two cat ears on his head), and asked cheerfully: "Why do you want to fight with them?"

"Aren't you from the same guild?"

Wu Nian, who had the same idea as Yu Shang and had even discussed this matter together before, blinked and stretched out his little foot to kick Portos on the shoulder: "And he is still a top-level figure. This kind of thing should definitely be dealt with by himself. Are you going to join us together?"

Porthos shook his head with an indifferent expression, shrugged and said, "Didn't you two already agree to join the gang? You can be considered your own people now."

Wu Nian rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What we mean is that you must have a tacit understanding when cooperating with your old friends. Even if the two of us join, we are just ordinary casual players, but you... "

"We are not professional players."

Aramis tapped the table lightly and explained seriously: "Portos works for Capital and works from nine to five every day. I have more free time here, but my main source of income is not playing games."

Yu Shang, who was still flipping through the book next to him, glanced at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Avoiding the important and taking the easy, right?"

"It's not cute to ask for details."

Aramis pointed at the tip of Yu Shang's nose seriously, his expression very serious.

"I'm not cute to begin with."

The latter replied calmly, his expression unperturbed.

"Okay, okay~"

When Aramis saw that these two people insisted on asking for an explanation, he stopped talking nonsense. After clearing his throat, he said seriously: "Indeed, we [Yuhuo] prefer to be in the spotlight in this kind of competition. And under normal circumstances Portos and I will be in the main team, but..."

Yu Shang fiddled with his bangs, and while letting his right eye, which had been covered all year round, breathe, he asked, "But what?"

"However, although we will participate in this [criminal debate], we probably won't strive for any rankings."

Aramis looked at Yu Shang with a serious expression, spread his hands and said: "The reason is very simple, he can't beat him."

Yu Shang and Wu Nian were both stunned and said in astonishment, "Can't beat him?"

"That's right, you can't beat him."

Aramis nodded vigorously, with a helpless expression: "You should know who our competitors are in the major games. They are basically clubs or regular large studios, such as Red Constellation, Ranzhong, and Emperor Flower. , Tokiwa and the like, those Sun Tzu have transferred the core staff to the Innocence Realm early on."

"The Innocence of Innocence is different from other games."

Portos smacked his lips and said: "As I said before, we basically don't make money by playing games. First of all, we can't fully utilize the twenty-four hours of game time every day. In addition, I entered the game late, and my current combat effectiveness is far behind other players of the same level."

Aramis twitched the corners of his lips and said dryly: "Take the national game treasure Awakening Dragon as an example. In "Olaxi War" that you also played, Yu Shang, I was in the right place at the right time and with the right people. We may not be able to kill him under certain circumstances. If Bodos and I join forces, we will definitely win. But in the current world of innocence, let alone the two of us, even if there are twenty more of me or him, we will be very capable. He might be blown away by a face-to-face encounter."

"Eh!"

Wu Nian took a breath and whispered, "Is the gap so big?"

"Dad, who is ranked fourth on the list, do you think you are joking?"

Aramis looked at Wu Nian with a dead smile, and sighed deeply: "I know what kind of virtuous person Xing Long is, and I can't even think about being able to steadily dominate the three people in front of him in the game. Too lazy to think about it.”

Yu Shang frowned and asked, "Do you have to compete with the most powerful professional player?"

"It doesn't matter if you're not the most powerful. In the final analysis, it's a matter of how long you have been in the trap."

Aramis grinded his teeth in displeasure and said angrily: "The most important thing is that there was an accident a few days ago, which basically killed our hope directly."

Wu Nian, who likes to eat melons, suddenly brightened up and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

"Don't you already know? Our main team from [Bathing in Fire] has come to the Realm of Innocence. It stands to reason that although they have only played for a few months, they have already reached a high level, and some of them have even entered the realm. Ranking list, if we keep going at that pace, it’s not like we can’t have an impact in the competition in early October.”

Aramis swung his tail, which he had become more and more proficient in using, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "In the end, just two days ago, we were almost wiped out by the group... four of the twenty-eight people survived."

"Almost... got wiped out by the group?"

Yu Shang finally looked away from the book and asked Aramis with some confusion: "You mean, they were all sent to rebuild their characters?"

Porthos nodded with a slap in his face and sighed: "That's right, except for the four survivors and us, everyone returned to before liberation overnight."

"Who did it? A competitor?"

Yu Shang gently stepped on Aramis's restless tail and asked with great interest: "It is said on the Internet that the legendary Yuhuo main force group is very strong, especially when acting in a group. How come it makes people... Was it destroyed by the regiment?"

Aramis got a little angry and rescued Tails from the opponent's feet, and said angrily: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Ask the person involved."

Yu Shang's words are concise and concise.

"Oh, of course I asked."

Aramis sneered, and then said in a very painful tone: "Guess what? Those guys didn't know how they were killed, not even the four survivors who were lucky enough to save their lives. Know."

After that, Aramis and Porthos did not continue to talk about it, but happily told the two girls what they had learned.

To put it simply, the main group of [Yuhuo Guild] simply assembled after all members arrived at the high level, and then began to move southwest to try to find Aramis and Portos, the two presidents and vice presidents, to meet up. When they were about to arrive at their destination, they encountered a group of undead creatures. Almost all of them rushed to the east of Adolf's Free Territory, and only a few survivors survived.

"What you are saying is too simple..."

Wu Nian immediately complained. She originally listened with the mentality of eating melons, but the story ended before she could even take out the dried fruit drinks and other things from her luggage. Her disappointment was beyond words.

"It's not as simple as we said, it's just that this matter is inherently confusing."

Porthos raised his hand and caught the elf girl in mid-air, snatched a handful of something like melon seeds from her hand and started to eat it. He said incoherently: "In their own words, they met the enemy in a daze, in a daze. They were all beaten to death in a confused manner, and if those undead creatures that couldn't be killed suddenly suddenly and collectively acted like Xiudou, there wouldn't be a single living person left."

Yu Shang nodded slightly and then changed the topic: "Then you can also form a team with the four survivors, right?"

"Yes, but not necessary."

Aramis leaned lazily on the back of his chair, yawned and said: "Porthos and I are more accustomed to cooperating, but the requirement for group battles in that [Inquisition Battle] is three to five people, and there are four left over there. , In other words, if we want to play with them, one of the four people will be replaced, which would be boring."

"If we split it into two three-person teams, the configuration will be worse."

Porthos added next to him, spreading his hands and saying: "So why not let the four of them form a team directly, and we and you will form a team."

"As for delays or anything like that, you don't have to worry."

Aramis continued seamlessly without giving Yu Shang and Wu Nian a chance to interrupt: "We were both busy some time ago, and his son's rebellious period coincided with the summer vacation. I am about to charge to death as the deadline is approaching. , the gameplay is relatively Buddhist-style, and I didn’t intend to regard myself as the main force, let alone..."

At this point, he paused deliberately, and Yu Shang next to him immediately asked: "What's more?"

"What's more, you two have great potential."

Aramis blinked and said in a very determined tone: "And they are also the type with a strong personal style, which is very suitable for the style of our guild. If the four of us form a team, we may be able to create some good sparks. maybe."

"Really?"

Wu Nian, who was sitting on Bodos's shoulder, shook his head, waved his hand and said, "I don't believe it."

"Just try it if you don't believe it~"

Aramis whistled, then stood up and said enthusiastically: "The four of us will directly line up for a simulated battle."

"That was your goal from the beginning, right?"

Yu Shang sighed and glared at Aramis nonchalantly: "You said you want us to visit your personal room, but you actually want to call us into a public space to facilitate team matching, right?"

"Ahem, there is a reason for this."

"You two are determined to take us anyway?"

"Can't it be that we want to use your potential to get a good ranking?"

"Hey, Wu Nian, what do you think?"

"I can do that. The surrounding area is quite attractive, what do you think, Shang Shang?"

"I can do that too... Let's get in line."

"Let's go!"
