Quadruple split

"Wow!"

After a brief period of confusion, Hiran suddenly raised his head and looked at the little thorny wolf who was still motionless as if he had been petrified. He exclaimed: "Isn't it right? As long as you get the key, the mission is completed." ? You don’t even have to go back to meet that elf uncle?!”

"..."

"Hey? Are you reporting back to the people in the organization or are you doing something else? Please give me a reaction."

Seeing that Little Thorny Wolf still had no reaction, Zhou Lan raised his hand and waved it in front of the latter's eyes.

"impossible……"

This time, Little Thorny Wolf finally made some movement, but it was just movement. Both his expression and eyes were still in some unknown chaos, just like when he met Musashi for the first time, he found that Not only did the latter not beautify himself in the game, he even murmured, "Impossible, this is impossible... this is not true..."

"What's wrong? If you change your vest, you won't recognize me anymore?!"

This was Musashi's line when he saw Little Thorn Wolf's reaction, and then an old punch with a sixth-degree black belt level hit the latter's waist, forcibly bringing him back to reality.

However, Hirarashi is not Musashi, and he does not have a high-level monk profession, so even if he has this intention, it is impossible to distract the latter, not to mention...

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

Ji Lan, who is not stupid at all, saw that the professional gamer in front of him, who had seen big waves and was between gold-collar workers and white-collar workers, suddenly changed into this kind of behavior. After thinking for a few seconds, he came up with a rather ridiculous idea. , but the speculation that was most suitable to explain Little Thorny Wolf's reaction, he asked cautiously: "Don't tell me that the system prompt that the first stage of the mission was completed just now has nothing to do with your Viridian Studio."

Little Thorny Wolf opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the system prompt sounded in their ears again...

[After calculation, your contribution in this large-scale regional mission is 16,700, and your team contribution ranks second. Please go to the corresponding NPC for reward settlement. 】

This is what Little Thorn Wolf heard.

The same thing is true for Hiran, except that his personal contribution is only 3800, and his team contribution is third after Little Thorn Wolf and the others.

To be honest, it actually doesn't matter, because in this task, as long as the team's contribution is not first, the rewards will be almost the same regardless of whether the final ranking is second or twentieth.

only……

"If we are third, does that mean..."

After Hiran murmured something in a tone that was not very regretful, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the livid-faced Little Thorn Wolf next to him: "Didn't your Viridian Brigade only take second place?"

"That's right."

Little Thorny Wolf took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhou Lan, and said solemnly: "We took second place."

Although there was indeed speculation in this regard, after Little Thorny Wolf personally admitted their 'failure', Ji Lan still widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed: "It can't be that the kobolds have completed their mission. Is that possible? It’s impossible. My friend said before that those kobolds couldn’t get enough food and salt, and the people assigned there all had their heads bruised and bleeding. Could it be that she lied to me?!”

"No."

Little Thorny Wolf shook his head, clenched his fists and said bitterly: "If it was 'before', your friend probably didn't lie to you, because the colleague I sent to keep an eye on you also said the same, and at least he was willing to follow me. We talk, and can even use mission items as bargaining chips for cavemen. Those kobolds can indeed be said to be 'unable to communicate', and they seem to be very, very exclusive."

Zhou Lan nodded slightly and asked, "What next?"

"It won't happen anymore. Human resources are very valuable these days, okay?"

Little Thorny Wolf opened the mission panel and quickly read the diary that had changed beyond recognition. He said: "After confirming that the kobolds will basically not pose a threat to us, they came back to follow up on our side. You take the girl to hunt." He watched the process of killing Yalong for half the afternoon."

Ji Lan was shocked at that time: "Your colleagues were watching while we were killing monsters!?"

"I can't tell from the side."

Little Thorny Wolf, whose emotions gradually calmed down, smiled, shrugged and said, "But it's not that far away from you."

Zhou Lan felt a chill on his back and looked at Little Thorny Wolf in surprise: "Your studio is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Wait a minute, could the colleague you are talking about be some of the other Big Four..."

"Are you talking about Sister Kona and Brother Xiba? You have thought too much. They are too busy. How could they come here to do this kind of mission? Moreover, even if we perform the mission together, I will only be able to cooperate step by step. Are they good or not?”

Little Thorny Wolf waved his hand, shook his head and said, "The colleague who went to monitor your situation is just a brother thief with little fighting ability."

"Are you lying to a fool?"

Ji Lan rolled his eyes and hummed: "My high-level profession is [Wind Listener]. I am the best at detecting invisible units among the ranger professions. If any rogue player with little combat power can detect invisible units at close range, If you lied to me within a short distance, then why are you trying to win me over? Hurry up and give me a promotion and a salary increase."

As a result, Little Thorn Wolf said seriously: "I'm not lying to you, that colleague's level is only about third-rate in our studio, but..."

Ji Lan looked at him suspiciously: "Just what?"

"Do you know what it means to specialize in a skill?"

Little Thorny Wolf shook his finger and said with a smile: "Although his game level is very average, and his intuitive 'combat ability' is even worse, my colleague who specializes in training his stealth level is a master in stealth. Well, maybe he himself is not a master, but he was assigned the corresponding equipment by the studio and learned the relevant skills, but he was able to avoid the perception of you [Wind Listener]."

Ji Lan reacted very quickly. He had already stopped wondering when Little Thorn Wolf finished speaking. He clapped his hands and said, "Is it serious about partiality?"

"You can say that."

Little Thorny Wolf smiled approvingly at Hiran.

"anyway……"

Hirarashi smacked his lips and returned to the previous topic: "Why are you not worried at all? The duck you got has flown away, and you should have the task of the studio with you, right? Is it really okay to be so calm?"

Little Thorny Wolf laughed bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not a question of whether it's better to be so calm, but it's not a matter of going crazy or being crazy, so it's better to be calm, at least not to lose your grace."

Zhou Lan also stood up and gave Little Thorn Wolf a thumbs up: "You have such a good attitude, you are worthy of being a professional player."

"This matter needs to be divided. Musashi is also a professional player. If it were her, she would be crazy."

Little Thorny Wolf showed an unbearable look on his face, and then slowly walked out of the camp, while saying to Zilan who was following him: "And I haven't planned to give up yet. When I was chatting with you just now, I already did Some arrangements have been made, and although this mission is considered a failure, there may not be any room for our intervention in the next stage."

Zhou Lan called Wuhu softly and asked curiously: "Only the team with the highest contribution to this task will receive additional rewards. It is also a task of in-depth exploration. Now you are destined to be second, what else can you do? Well, If it’s a trade secret, forget it.”

"This is not a secret, but rather than answering your confusion with words now, I would rather prove it to you with practical actions later."

Little Thorny Wolf stopped, waved to the two men, one woman, and Shota who were waiting for him not far away, turned to Zhou Lan and said with a smile: "By the way, have you decided to act together with us? Then? You're welcome, I'll go introduce you to those people now."

"ha?!"

Only then did Zhou Lan realize that he had led Little Thorny Wolf to the exit of the caveman settlement. He subconsciously jumped out and said with a dry smile: "Man, you are overthinking. I'm just sending you off. I'll do it later." Go back with the captain."

"Okay, then hurry up and see you later."

The little thorny wolf nodded slightly, and then walked quickly towards his companion not far away.

And Zhou Lan also rushed non-stop to the arrow tower that had just been completed less than three hours ago. He hurriedly found Fluorite and told the latter about the matter without revealing too much. The general meaning My friend said that the key that the Archaeologists Association wants has been obtained. We no longer need to work as free labor for these cavemen. Let's go back and confirm the situation with your good friend.

Since the arrow tower has been completed, Yingshi did not raise any objections. He led Zhoulan and the other three rangers who were working here and briefly said goodbye to the two caveman elders before running all the way to the two caves. Home of the Archaeologists Association among the settlements (kobolds and cavemen).

The mission log is completely useless. The moment you hear the system prompt, all the contribution values ​​of the first stage in the panel disappear. There is nothing left except a reminder that the player should not forget to receive the reward.

So neither Hiran nor Little Thorn Wolf knew what happened in the end, and what percentage of the final mission contribution of the first stage was made after the Viridian Guild spent all its capital.

In other words...a few hundred percent or a few hundred percent! ?

In any case, this mission has become a mess. Although Hiran has not given up like Little Thorny Wolf, he does not want to miss this opportunity, so he urges Yingshi when it is no longer his own business. Go back with yourself.

On the way, in line with the principle of good friends making love together, Zhou Lan also sent a message to Ji Xiaoge. It probably meant that something big happened on your kobold side. Is there any inside story you can share? Also, the professional player from the Tokiwa Guild has gone crazy and seems to be planning to fight back. If you want to watch the excitement, quickly put down what you are doing and go back to the Archaeologists Association's base to chat together!

Soon, he received a reply from his friend.

The reply was concise and concise: As for the inside story...well, we seem to be the big cows you mentioned, does that count?

Hiran: "???"

…

After one hour

Game time PM22:07

The outer suburbs of the Golden City, the temporary residence of the Archaeologists Association, inside the central building

Headed by Mo Tan and composed of Ji Xiaoge, Yaya, Jadeka, Anthony Dabbs, and Wang Badan, all members of the Wangwang team are present, while Kasena, Lucie, Mika, Christina, The beautiful girl mercenary group formed by Tatiana was also hanging out with them. They were eating fruit snacks and chatting in twos and threes, looking happy.

In addition to these people, Zordon Nightcrawler, the head of the Golden City Branch of the Archaeologists Association, and Colonel Mojin, the player under his command who is responsible for contacting the Wangwang team, are also there.

Colonel Mojin was asking Lucie, who seemed to be very talkative, about the ins and outs of how several people obtained the keystone. His face was red with excitement and his whole face was radiant.

This is not difficult to understand, because the first person to obtain the keystone was the Wangwang Team, and Colonel Mojin himself was the contact person of the Wangwang Team, so at least at this stage, he has made the greatest contribution within the association, and the reward will definitely not be Less.

Zordon Nightcrawler, who was sitting behind the long table, was playing with the keystone in his hand while chatting with the two captains, Mo Tan and Kasena.

There are two main contents of the sky -

"As I just said, Mr. Zordon."

Mo Tan took a sip of the cider that Zordon had just filled for himself, and said seriously: "We were able to borrow this key from Ms. Scarlett this time, in large part because of the beautiful girl mercenary group. Without the help of Kasena and the others, we would not be able to get this anyway, so although it is very presumptuous, I hope you can consider letting our two teams go together."

The above is the first important point.

Zordon nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor rejecting. He just looked at the keystone in his hand and said with a smile, "You just said that you want to find a solution to the 'curse' of the leader of the kobold tribe in the ruins. Although I am not That’s clear, but does that mean we have to put in extra effort and take extra risks in subsequent explorations?”

This is the second important point.

"They have lent us the keys! You can't just do everything by yourself!"

Kasena patted the table hard, hugged her arms with a face that was both delicate and sexy, and had a heroic temperament. She said in a deep voice: "Brother Zordon, if you feel that you should also take care of exploring and finding solutions at the same time?" It’s too difficult to use the spell to protect us as a few burdensome people. It’s completely possible to protect us indiscriminately. We sisters can take good care of ourselves.”

Zordon, who originally wanted to use this reason to get Kasena to retreat, frowned and hesitated for a while before shaking his head and saying, "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."

"What's wrong?"

Kasena, who was emboldened because someone was there, asked loudly.

"If you come with us to explore the ruins, the Archaeologists Association has an obligation to protect your safety."

Zordon scratched his thick hair and smiled bitterly: "But our budget for hiring experts is already very tight..."

“If it’s a budget, you don’t have to worry~”

A hearty voice came from outside. Everyone looked back and saw Little Thorny Wolf walking briskly into the cabin surrounded by his teammates. He smiled at everyone and then leaned slightly towards Zordon——

"If you are willing to take our Joban Brigade with you, before noon tomorrow, I can hire at least a hundred good people for the Archaeologists Association through personal connections at one-fifth of the market price. Not only does it not require a pension, but also... …check out after the support mission is completed.”
