It was already night time, and except for a few NPCs, there were no players in the city lord's mansion.
Yue Ran walked straight to the counter where the gang tasks were hung. Behind the counter, a white-haired old man was lying on the counter, fast asleep. Yue Ran lightly knocked on the table. There was no movement from the old man. He was still sleeping soundly.
Xiangtian. Yue Ran increased his strength again, banging the stone countertop, but still did not wake up the old man. In desperation, Yue Ran had to push him and finally wake him up.
"What are you doing? Don't you know it's rude to disturb an old man's sleep?" The old man was in a bad mood when his sweet dream was disturbed.
Yue Ran smiled, he was not angry with an old man. Although the old man's attitude was not good, he was still complaining in his heart: Why is this old man such a bad guy in gang missions?
But Yue Ran didn't say this: "Old man, excuse me, I'm here to take over a gang mission."
This art of duplicity is here!
Seeing Yue Ran's good attitude, the white-haired old man stopped complaining and asked: "What level of gang mission do you want to take on?"
"Is there a difference?"
"After the first-level gang completes the task, it can be promoted to the second-level gang, and the second-level gang can be promoted to the third-level gang, and so on. If it is completed across levels, for example, the second-level gang has completed the third-level task and directly promoted to the fourth-level gang; if it has not been completed,
, the gang level dropped by one level."
"Can you show me the mission first?"
The old man didn't answer, and directly threw a piece of paper to Yue Ran, "That's it, read it yourself!"
There were more than a dozen missions recorded on the thin paper, ranging from level one to level five. Yue Ran read them one by one, and saw a familiar word: Mother Queen.
Kill the Demon Mother Queen, task level: level 4. Completion conditions: Obtain the Mother Queen's Heart-Guarding Bone. Completion reward: The gang is upgraded to level 5, 50 taels of gold ingots.
Holding back the ecstasy in his heart, Yue Ran said calmly: "That's it, kill the Demon Queen."
Hearing Yue Ran's words, the old man's half-closed eyes suddenly opened. He looked at Yue Ran with a serious face and said: "Young man, don't blame me for not reminding you. This is a level four mission, and it is extremely difficult to complete!"
Hearing the old man's words, Feng Lin and others who were following Yue Ran also widened their eyes in surprise. They admired Yue Ran greatly, but at the same time they were also a little worried. After all, this was a fourth-level mission, and Xingchen was still a first-level gang.
, so everyone couldn’t help but kindly remind me.
"Brother Feng, isn't this level 4 too high?"
"Yes, Brother Feng, we don't even know where the Demon Queen is or what she is!"
"Boss, if you take a big step, it's easy to pull your balls..."
Several people were talking about it. Only Xiaodian, who had followed Yue Ran to the mine, remained silent, but her bright eyes showed that she had guessed that Yue Ran had gone to kill the Queen Mother when he left the mine.
Yue Ran resisted the urge to give Feng Lin a bang, ignored their words, and said directly to the old man: "That's it."
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, the old man shook his head and said: "Sign this, the task time limit is one month. If it cannot be completed, the gang will be downgraded, and the first-level gang will be disbanded directly, and it will not be possible to form a gang again within one month!"
Yue Ran signed the order handed over by the old man without hesitation, turned around, and said to everyone with a pretentious look: "Brothers, we are a level five gang!"
Then, under the confused gazes of everyone, Yue Ran took out the round black bone obtained by killing the Queen Mother: "Excuse me, is this the thing?"
The old man looked at the black bone in Yue Ran's hand, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief. He took the bone with trembling hands, looked at it carefully, and after a long time he replied: "Yes, this is it.
!How did you do it? This is the Queen of the Demon Clan, a ninth-level monster, and you actually killed her?!"
"It's just good luck." Yue Ran didn't want to say more, "So, is the mission completed?"
"Of course! Of course it's done!" the old man said excitedly, "You are definitely the fastest to complete the task since the establishment of the mercenary union! Here, here are your 50 taels of gold ingots!"
"Wow!" A big money bag appeared on the counter, and Yue Ran quickly collected it. This was a full 5,000 taels of silver, or in other words, 5,000 yuan!
It was only then that Fenglin and the others woke up from the shock.
"We are a level 5 gang? Am I not dreaming? Metasequoia, pinch me, ah! It hurts, damn! Can't you be gentler?" Fenglin bared his teeth and said inarticulately.
"Xingchen, a fifth-level gang with 2,000 members, enable group chat, and use the gang badge to enable the gang warehouse function..." Bai Yang directly took out the player manual.
"Will we be the first level five gang?" Yang Liu asked in a low voice, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Of course, this is necessary!" Ginkgo said with a matter-of-fact expression.
...
At this time, Yue Ran found that his player manual also sent a prompt. Yue Ran opened it and saw that the gang chat that had just been opened was already in full swing.
Drowning Xiami: "Holy shit! Brother Feng is so powerful! He established a gang yesterday and it was upgraded to level five today!"
Stir-fried tomatoes: "Brother Feng is domineering and the stars are mighty!"
Jaina: "The stars that were once so brilliant will definitely create glory again in "Illusion World"!"
They both said, "What's going on? Damn it, a fifth-level gang? Boss Duanfeng, you're really joking!"
Bai Yang: "With our brother Feng's style, I guess this will happen more often in the future. It will be fine if everyone gets used to it."
"Yes, everyone will get used to it." Yue Ran was in a good mood, "Everyone told each other to go to the mercenary union to obtain professional titles, and then report to Fenglin. We will prepare for gang activities in the near future!"
...
Seeing that everyone finally calmed down from the excitement of upgrading the gang, Yue Ran said to Fenglin and the others: "Fenglin, Baiyang. Now the number of gang members has increased to 2,000. You continue to recruit people. I will go to the gang warehouse to make equipment.
Hiss...headache!"
"Boss, don't worry, recruiting people this time will definitely be easier than last time!" Feng Lin replied hurriedly.
"I have a few requirements for recruiting people this time. I want to recruit more players with life professions, especially blacksmiths. I will be useful. I also want pharmacists, tailors, etc., all of them!"
"OK!"
"Also, you nymphomaniac, please be less aggressive!"
"Uh...Brother Feng, how do I know which ones are nymphos? Besides, doesn't this just mean that you are very charming, Brother Feng?"
"You are so big, are we here to play games or pick up girls?"
"Okay, I get it now."
After explaining the matter to Fenglin, Yue Ran turned to Xiaodian and said: "Diandian, let's go offline to eat now. After eating, we will go online immediately to make equipment!"
"Well, I got it, brother!"
...
In reality, it was exactly noon. Yue Ran went offline and made a bowl of instant noodles. While he was eating, the phone rang. Yue Ran picked up the phone and couldn't help but smile when he looked at the name on it.
Hao Hai was Yue Ran's only good friend in high school. After graduation, Yue Ran went to serve in the army, while Hao Hai was admitted to Beijing University. Since then, the two have never seen each other until Hao Hai graduated from university the year before last.
After studying abroad, Hao Hai came to the army and had a quick meeting with Yue Ran.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
"Haizi, are you back?"
"I just got off the plane, and don't call me Haizi! Aren't you cursing me?" The familiar voice on the phone was a little tired, but still as cynical as before, "And, you
When did you get discharged from the army? Why didn't you say hello to me? The phone number has also been changed. Should I call your original army? Your soldier, that is Pan Wen, told me your phone number now. Are you still treating me as a soldier?
Are I, Hao Hai, a friend? When I left last year, didn’t you say you were going to take the assessment of the Flying Eagle Special Forces? Why did you retire?"
Hearing Hao Hai's series of questions, Yue Ran felt warm in his heart. How long has it been since anyone cared about him so much? Regarding Hao Hai's questions, Yue Ran didn't want to say more: "Because of some things, I retired from the army."
"whats the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just feel tired and don't want to do it anymore."
"Tch, don't lie to me, kid. I've been at the same table in high school for three whole years and I still don't know you? Something must have happened, but if you don't want to say it, forget it. What are you doing in Chengdu now?"
"Nothing to do, just a homeless person. Forget about me, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" Yue Ran didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject.
"If I don't leave this time, it's better to stay in China! I'm not used to staying in the United States."
"Were you dismissed from the school?"
"Get out! How could we, a top-level academic, be persuaded to quit? We have already obtained a degree, so we naturally came back. We are turtles now! Okay, no more words, I am in Beijing now, waiting for me to return to Chengdu.
Let’s get together!”
"OK!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Yue Ran hurriedly finished the instant noodles, took a short break and relaxed, and then entered the game.
As soon as he went online, Yue Ran felt the reminder of the player manual. As soon as he opened it, he received a large number of gang chat messages. Yue Ran frowned and wondered if he should turn off the gang chat. After browsing briefly, most of them were.
It was the players chatting, and when he was about to put away the player manual, he saw someone looking for him.
Warm Water Frog: "Is Boss Duanfeng here?"
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I found the old man with a broken right hand that you asked us to look for!" Seeing the reply from the warm water frog, Yue Ran's eyes lit up. He finally found it. This time, he would not let Ou Ming, a master, do anything he said.
The blacksmith left.
"Where?"
"South of the Tiger Flame Forest in the west of the city."
"Okay, wait for me there, I'll be right over!"
"Yes, Boss Duanfeng!"
In the Tiger Flame Forest in the west of the city, Yue Ran thought of the black ore in the space ring obtained from the underground hall and the silver ore obtained from the Qinglong Gang. He felt anxious and wanted to go to Ou Ming immediately to ask what happened.
Yue Ran looked at the time and saw that it was almost dawn, but Xiaodian was not online yet, so after sending a message to Xiaodian asking her to wait in the city, Yue Ran went directly out of the city and headed towards the Tiger Flame Forest in the west of the city.
