There was some hesitation on Gu Ying's face. Seeing such a reaction, Ai Luo's response was even more simple and direct. He directly took out the imperial badge that he had just fought for from his arms, handed it to Gu Ying's hand, and said:

"No matter what, I don't want Hand of Heaven to be eliminated like this. But in comparison, a small guild like our Mermaid Song has nothing to do with it. If you put this badge here, it will be completely useless if I authenticate it.

If there is a problem, then we will meet at the arena at five o'clock in the afternoon! But if it still doesn't work...forget it, if you can succeed, it is better than if a small guild like me succeeds!"

Seeing that Ai Luo was so upright and awe-inspiring now, the hesitation and doubt on Gu Ying's face immediately dissipated! Instead, it turned into a look full of gratitude.

At that moment, he respectfully took the imperial badge, put it carefully in his arms, nodded seriously to Ai Luo, and said: "I understand, President Ai Luo, please don't worry! During this time

I will definitely work hard to collect other imperial badges! If you identify these are fake badges by then, come over and I will definitely give you one!"

Ai Luo nodded vigorously, with a grateful smile on his face: "Thank you! Mr. Gu Ying... This is something that both of us must work hard to do, so let's work hard together!"

After the words fell, Mermaid Song waved goodbye to Lone Ying.

And this tall and thin young man is now waving to Ai Luo happily, with an indescribable look of gratitude on his face.

As for waiting until that lonely figure leaves completely...

Wow - snap.

Ai Luo weighed the bag of imperial emblems in his hand, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth immediately turned into a slightly evil smile, which made the guild members behind him shudder when they looked at it.

"Hey, our Mermaid Song...isn't he really a villain?"

Margo immediately pulled everyone together and discussed softly——

"Why do I feel more and more that we are villains the more I watch? Don't you feel this way?"

Ji Lian seemed a little excited and wanted to refute, but he couldn't refute anything for a while. He could only mutter and said: "Villain? There is a villain there! We...our guild is just...where is the villain?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Ai Luo turned around, looked at his family members with a smile, and at the same time stuffed the small bag into his arms.

The guild members quickly dispersed and said nervously: "No! There is nothing to discuss!"

"Really?...Forget it."

Ai Luo was happy now, so he didn't bother to care about the little thoughts of these members. He nodded slightly, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go have lunch. Then the next thing will happen.

We will continue to patrol the streets to look for any Imperial emblems left behind. However, we must go to crowded places. In addition, at 4:30 pm, no matter what you have to do, please

We must go to the arena to gather.”

Of course, the guild members would not have any objections and responded quickly.

Ai Luo still had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

However, this is just the beginning.

Wait until 4:30 in the afternoon, this is the most exciting part of this first mission!————

What’s the most interesting thing about this matter, do you know?

The reason is that although this game is nominally an object-finding contest, once the object-finding contest is about to end, the game has completely turned into a "resource contest."

As for Ai Luo, he is now enjoying the results of this resource competition.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, he led his Mermaid Song to the gate of the arena on time.

A row of four, a total of eight members of the security team, are now guarding the only entrance to the arena, strictly checking every guild that wants to pass and the imperial emblems in their hands.

Those guilds with badges will happily pass this level, and after successfully entering, they will start cheering loudly, thankful that their guild has successfully passed the first level.

But similarly, there are still many guilds surrounding the entrance, looking eagerly at it.

Because they couldn't find any badges.

There are a total of 108 guilds. They may have turned the entire Hanhai City upside down. Except for the residences of the nobles and the Imperial City, which is the most inaccessible place, everywhere in the entire city, even in any trash can, any

Under a bridge, even every inconspicuous corner has been searched.

But even so, there are still so many guilds that have not been able to find that little empire badge. Under the rule of "no violence", the current situation of these guilds can be said to be extremely bad. Each guild's

The president was so anxious that his head was on fire!

It was also at this time that Mermaid Song came to this place.

As the guild president, Arrow took out an empire badge from his arms and handed it to Brad who was standing aside. Brad nodded and took the badge to the entrance. After announcing his guild name and showing the badge, he successfully entered.

.So far, Mermaid Song has successfully passed the first game.

Then……

Aero Garcia, just when the guild leaders who were about to fall into chaos were in a state of panic, he asked William, Margaux, and Coco to pull over a table, and then took out another hand from his arms.

An empire emblem was placed on the table, smiling and speaking to the guilds who were now about to fall into despair——

"Everyone! Are you still thinking about how to get an empire badge? It doesn't matter, please don't worry about it anymore! Our Mermaid Song has just successfully passed the first game, but fortunately, we have additional

Earned some imperial badges!”

Hearing Ai Luo's shout, other guilds around him naturally turned their heads and looked at the short guild leader.

Naturally, everyone saw the smile on the short president's face at the first moment. But the next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the imperial emblem placed on the table.

Wow——!

In an instant, the surrounding guilds immediately swarmed in! Everyone who rushed up wanted to stretch out their hands and snatch it directly!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ai Luo quickly picked up the badge and said loudly: "Violent acts will be disqualified immediately! Everyone, calm down first and listen to me!"

Obtain badges in order to pass the competition.

But if violence is used, the competition will be automatically disqualified.

After Ai Luo's reminder, the gathered guilds calmed down a little, and they all gathered around the table. Cream, Coco and Margo saw that something was not going well, and quickly gathered around their guild leaders to help.

Resist these oncoming people.

Ai Luo exhaled slightly, then put a smile on his face again, and said slowly——

"I know that you really want this little badge in my hand. Please don't worry, this badge will be given to you of course. However, it did take a lot of effort for me to get these badges.

Here, I hope to get some small compensation for the fruits of my labor."

With that said, Ai Luo held the badge and showed it off again in front of everyone, and said with a smile——

"It is now 4:34 pm, and we all know that this game ends at 5 pm. And after this game ends, these imperial badges in my hand will immediately lose all value. Likewise, no

Guilds who get badges and enter the arena will also lose their 'value'."

"But when these two worthless things collide, they will immediately produce immeasurable value!"

"So, I'm setting a rule here."

Ai Luo pinned the badge on his cuff, with a faint smile on his face——

"I will auction the remaining imperial badges in my hand here. The price is five hundred gold coins per badge! Now, do you want the badge in my hand? For only five hundred gold coins, you can take it directly

Enter the arena and announce that you have passed the trial of the first game!"

The members of Mermaid Song next to them were now looking at their president with a surprised expression, and that look was like looking at a fool.

However, the president of Mermaid Song didn't seem to mind at all. He just smiled and shook his wrist, making the imperial emblem reflect a little oily green light under the setting sun.

As expected, the surrounding guilds also changed their excitement just now, and all showed contempt for Ai Luo. They looked at the badge on Ai Luo's sleeves, some were indignant, and some were contemptuous.

Some people are jealous. However, there are no more people who act as enthusiastically as before.

"I think you are stupid?"

An adventurer snorted at Arrow——

"The winner of the guild championship battle will only receive a reward of 500 gold coins. This is the first game, and you just ask for 500? You are crazy about money!"

Ai Luo didn't mind the ridicule. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Then he smiled slightly and said, "It's thirty-five now, so the price of the imperial badge has started to drop. It's now 450 gold coins. Is anyone willing to bid?"

"

At this moment, the adventurer who had been shouting that Airl was crazy just now shut his mouth.

Prices...are falling.

As time passes, every minute, Airl will report the current time, and then let the price of the empire badge in his hand decrease.

This feeling is just like scalping tickets. With the arrival of the deadline, Ai Luo knows very well that the imperial badge in his hand will depreciate at the fastest speed!

but……
Chapter completed!
