Is the circle of strangers really so complicated?
It's not that Xiao Xiao didn't see the complacency of those people when they were talking to Yang Jia... Or, in their own eyes, they might have tried hard to hide it, but an observer can see their gloating under their politeness, and they also felt sad in their hearts.
I did feel a little angry that Yang Jia was being bullied, but when I thought about fighting with them, I still felt that the joke was too big.
First, although the core of the Kingdom of Decay was solved by myself, I was not yet an intermediate contract.
To obtain an intermediate contract, at least two conditions must be met:
First, he took the lead in resolving a B-level incident, and second, he completed the third phase of strengthening.
It's just a coincidence that he meets the first condition, but the second condition is even further away.
Besides, even if you really achieve it, how can you compete with these people?
All of them are the masterminds of Black Gate City...
According to the habit of strangers assessing each other's strength, those with a score below 100 can only be considered novices and noobs.
Anyone with a score of 100 to 1,000 points is a veteran.
Those with a score of 1,000 to 10,000 are the level they are at. They are recognized as strong and can be the face of a party.
As for myself, it seems that I am quite respectable now in Black Gate City, and some people even take the initiative to give up their seats in public places...
...But Xiao Xiao knew that it was false.
The only thing that is true and reliable is your own strengthening points. If you give it a full shot, it will only be about a thousand points, which is the veteran level.
Although there are indeed a few special items that can help you and take advantage of others.
But compared to those big players?
It's somewhat of a joke.
We have special items, why don’t others have them?
On the contrary, they are all special items directly exchanged for high-value points from the city. Are they more powerful?
Moreover, since they can obtain the city's mid-level knight contract, it means that they have all been leaders in solving B-level crisis incidents before, and most of them have solved problems of the same level as the Decay Kingdom with their own real strength...
What do you rely on?
This handsome face with a warm hug?
It's somewhat weak.
Xiao Xiao was not unaware that the other strangers in this city seemed to have a different kind of awe for him.
Occasionally, I enjoy this kind of gaze, but can I still take it seriously?
It is no exaggeration to say that I can only be regarded as a big bastard. Do I really want to compete with these ruthless people who have climbed up step by step?
Yang Jia looked at Xiao Xiao's unbelievable expression and said softly: "I know you are under great pressure, but we have no other way now. The hell organization has too much influence on Black Gate City. If they are allowed to get the intermediate contract,
, I’m not sure what Black Gate City will become... The so-called inheriting the old president’s legacy and reorganizing the Black Gate City Stranger Organization is just empty talk.”
"At that time, the most likely result is that I will be expelled from Black Gate City, and you, Ruanruan, Xiaosi..."
"I will only be able to follow them..."
"..."
As she spoke, her face showed concern, and she whispered: "It is up to you to inherit the old president's contract..."
When he said this, he paused slightly.
It seemed that she was also asking herself in her heart: Could it be that she knew this old classmate and was sure that she could trust him?
Xiao Xiao didn't listen to what she said. He shook his head and said:
"I understand what you mean, and it's not that I want to shirk it, but I'm afraid... even if I agree, I won't be their match."
"..."
When I said this, I felt quite calm.
To be honest, everyone likes to show off, especially in front of a beautiful girl like Yang Jia.
Being a male, Xiao Xiao also wanted to agree as soon as he patted his chest.
However, fortunately, he has the ability to think explosively, so that he does not have to pay for his impulses.
A person must have B numbers...
Although I am also interested in the things in the old president's safe that the legend can point to.
I also want to know the truth about this world.
But shouldn’t the premise of all this be alive?
…
…
When Yang Jia heard this, she was slightly startled and looked at Xiao Xiao's calm face with some surprise.
Taking the initiative to admit one's weakness is sometimes not a shameful thing, especially in front of people like Yang Jia.
She said no more, just nodded slightly and said:
"How many points do you have now?"
Xiao Xiao was startled for a moment and said: "It's less than four thousand, and I only have one thousand for myself."
"one thousand……"
Yang Jia looked over and said, "Counting everything, how much is it specifically?"
Xiao Xiao: "...Three thousand and nine."
...At this moment, I felt a little worried, fearing that Yang Jia would say that she would lend him insufficient points.
Because to be honest, even if Yang Jia is willing to borrow it, Xiao Xiao doesn't feel that he has the confidence to challenge those people.
"More than three thousand nine hundred points..."
And Yang Jia seemed a little shocked by this number.
But then she thought about it, and she actually knew the origin of these points. Xiao Xiao had always been very honest about this.
She seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she looked up at Xiao Xiao and said:
"Then you are only about two thousand points away from the third stage of strengthening, which is actually not much."
"It stands to reason that I can lend it to you. Even Ruanruan and Xiaosi should have extra points to lend to you to help you complete the enhancement."
"..."
Xiao Xiao pursed his lips, never showing that he was willing to eat soft rice.
But he didn't expect that Yang Jia would change the topic again and said: "But this is not a good thing."
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled: "Huh?"
"You grow up too fast, and the points are earned too easily."
Yang Jia was thinking, looked up at Xiao Xiao, looked very serious, and said:
"I don't know if you have any other secrets, but at least on the surface, your growth is almost leapfrog. Other strangers, including me, were strengthened step by step at the beginning.
From the beginning, I struggled hard for the dozens of points of strengthening elements, and then gradually accumulated enough for the second-stage strengthening, and the third-stage strengthening..."
"Every step is very difficult, and you need to deal with countless aberrant creatures and even other competing strangers."
"But now the abnormal system and environment of Black Gate City have quickly contributed to your growth."
"But at least in my opinion, this is not a good thing."
"..."
When she said this, she paused and seemed to have a lot of thoughts in her mind.
But soon, she put those things behind her. Even though Xiao Xiao had behaved strangely in some places, Yang Jia was actually not sure in her heart what the use of what she said to him was, but at least he was still in front of her.
Acting like a new person, of course I can only fulfill the responsibility of a leader, treat him as a new person, and pass on my experience to him.
After thinking about this, she continued to say to Xiao Xiao: "The strangers living in various cities, as well as the Dante Organization, and even the Hell Organization, have many strong people. They possess terrifying strength and command...
A reputation that people fear..."
"However, none of these people have become strong purely by accumulating points."
"Especially, the line of discernment that is most likely to fall into madness..."
"..."
"this……"
Xiao Xiao didn't expect Yang Jia to say this, but he could feel her sincerity from her expression.
She also felt a little strange in her heart: "When she said this, didn't she confirm that her worries just now were correct?"
I don't lack the courage to challenge, but the word courage does not mean recklessness. I am different from a reckless person like Yang Jia. If I rashly agree to it without any confidence, and if I fail in the end, the result will be even more difficult.
accept.
"so……"
Yang Jia was also thinking silently, and suddenly said: "I think it is necessary to give you some intensive training."
"?"
This sudden reversal made Xiao Xiao startled: "Training?"
"right."
Yang Jia said softly: "Just like they did to me when I first joined the Dante organization."
"..."
"..."
"Why did Yang Jia agree so easily?"
When Yang Jia left the Red Eyes Club with Xiao Xiao, Ruanruan, and Xiaosi, the others did not disperse. On the contrary, their faces showed solemn expressions and they frowned to discuss.
- Yang Jia At this time, they were worried that they would offend her and cause unnecessary conflicts, and they just hoped that everything would go smoothly, but when Yang Jia agreed, they felt unsure.
"The lord's contract can only be born from the knight's contract. This is the principle set by the will of the city. What else can she do?"
"You can't just accept your fate, right?"
"..."
Amidst the whispers of speculation, Ling Ping with red eyes suddenly said: "I think we'd better not be so arrogant. This little girl Yang Jia is not something we can look down on. She did fall into passivity this time, but it has nothing to do with us. The fact is
Since she returned to Black Gate City, we can only hide in the corner and pretend to be dead, right? As for this sudden opportunity..."
"No one will underestimate her..."
In the silence, the elder sister of the Orochi sisters chuckled: "But it turns out that apart from her terrifying strength, she is just a simple little girl in other aspects, isn't she? The most important thing is that Mr. Ye is not prepared to help
She..."
Ling Ping said solemnly: "You may not be able to help us."
Others were affected by his nervousness and felt a little irritable.
Old Zhou at the bottom of the bridge suddenly said: "It's true that she can't get the intermediate knight contract, but after all, there are others, right?"
"When the matter in the Rotten Kingdom is resolved, there will always be an opportunity to upgrade the contract..."
"..."
This sudden sentence actually made the atmosphere in the room become slightly quieter.
In everyone's minds, the man holding the little girl among the messy corpses naturally flashed across his mind.
Then……
...The younger sister among the Orochi sisters suddenly burst into laughter.
Then, Ling Ping with red eyes, Sister Da She, and even Lao Zhou himself under the bridge showed a little self-deprecating smile.
It is true that I am too nervous.
"The assistant Yang Jia secretly trained is indeed quite capable."
"At least when we solved the problem of the Rotten Kingdom last time, we didn't see through his true abilities."
"However, after he completed the B-level task and even added an A-level collectible to the city, he was not immediately promoted to an intermediate knight contract. He can only explain that he was not even a third-level knight.
Even the step-by-step strengthening has not been completed.”
"..."
The red-eyed Ling Ping spoke slowly and breathed out softly, remembering the time he saw him in the red-eyed club.
"That's a really crazy guy."
"It's a pity that no matter how crazy a guy is, his inability to keep up is his biggest flaw."
"In the eyes of those who work under him, he is indeed somewhat intimidating, but it would be a joke if we were afraid of him."
"And if Yang Jia is desperate and wants him to compete for the old president's contract..."
