First Player

Chapter 32 "Bring it to you!"

The aroma of the barbecue restaurant floats in front of you.

The figure of the blond knight opposite looked a little blurry.

Su Mingan's body trembled slightly, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to cover up the pain in his eyes.

...The gods of Yunzhong City really killed him.

There was no hesitation, no question, it was as if he had been waiting for a long time.

He had just started to make contact with the other party, and before he could speak, the other party pressed forward with an attack...until he was crushed to death in an instant.

He even heard the other party say, "I finally waited until you called me."

It was as if he had been waiting to kill him for a long time.

If his enemy is a copy of a combat power, how can he clear the level? What on earth did Su Lin do to make a god wait to kill him?

He put down his hands, and the pain remaining in his eyes gradually disappeared.

After that, this time, he did not accept Xie Lude's invitation and did not go to Yunshang Church to receive the letter. Instead, he chose to return.

He didn't know the reason why the gods targeted him, but he would not be able to go to Yunshang Church for a while.

When I got there, there was a pope squatting there. He asked him if he had found a way to maintain a defensive barrier. If he said no, he would start a fight. If he couldn't beat him, he would ask a god to come forward and fight.

Su Ming'an really didn't know how to maintain the defensive barrier, so he absolutely couldn't go to the Yunshang Church at the moment. Going there would be a dead end.

He returned by boat, returned to his room, and fell asleep.

The two hours of sleep he got last night couldn't support his day's actions. It was estimated that there would be a personal night copy tonight, and he would have to make up for his sleep during the day.

When Su Mingan woke up again, the sunlight outside the window had turned westward.

In the blood-red light of the setting sun, he saw the Royal Castle some distance away outside the window, with its beautiful glazed roof glowing with a layer of golden light.

……Empire.

If the Church on the Cloud cannot break through, then what about the Royal City?

Should we go to the Royal City tomorrow to find a breakthrough...

He thought, stood up and opened the door.

The setting sun outside the door seemed a bit dazzling. He squinted his eyes and suddenly saw a handsome figure standing by the clothes drying rack at the door.

She lowered her head slightly and combed the black hair on her shoulders with her delicate hands, looking quite beautiful.

Seeing him push the door open, she turned back slightly and gave him a smile.

The shimmer of her eyelashes seemed to be about to fall, her face looked as beautiful as a fairy tale under the sunset, and her smile looked just right.

Glancing at the girl outside the door, Su Mingan was silent for a moment, then closed the door with a bang.

"Wait, wait..." A thin female voice sounded outside the door, followed by a fierce knock on the door. The person outside had an aura of "I won't leave until you open the door."

"Please open the door. Please open the door. I have something to discuss with you. It's very important..." She knocked on the door.

"If you have anything to do with the East District Soul Hunting Department, don't come to me. I don't accept individual requests." Su Ming'an said.

"No, no! I'm not an NPC! I really have something to do with you..." The person outside the door hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have something to do with you... Su Ming'an."

Su Mingan opened the door.

A girl wearing a cabbage Lolita dress stood at his door. Her little face was sunburned and she looked like she had been waiting for a long time.

At first glance, Su Mingan thought there was nothing wrong. After a second glance, he suddenly found that the face looked familiar.

"Yamada Machichi?" Su Mingan looked at her somewhat masculine face.

"Will you let me in?" Yamada Machichi straightened his bangs: "I'm still a member of your team, right?"

Su Mingan turned sideways, meaning to let him in.

The door was closed, and Yamada Machichi stood timidly by the table, holding on to the hem of his skirt.

"Can you take me with you on future missions in the team? I am considered a B-level soul hunter after all, and I am also a member of your team." Yamada Machichi said softly.

"No." Su Mingan said.

"..." Yamada Machi blinked, and then quickly answered: "...Then can you do me a favor?"

"I won't help." Su Mingan said.

Yamada Machi frowned.

"I want to meet with the leader of the soul clan. Can you take me there?" Yamada Machichi said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I can exchange it for something. Just treat it as a paid commission."

He moved his fingers slightly and brought up a sharing panel.

Su Mingan glanced at it.

[Career Evolution Gem (Large)*2]

[With this gem, you can advance your career by one level. 】

…

Career evolution gem.

This is the most popular prop among players.

Yamada Machichi actually traded for this kind of thing. It seemed that he was really eager to meet the leader of the soul clan.

But Su Ming'an did not agree in a hurry: "Even if you say so, I don't have the ability to meet the leader of the Soul Clan. You and I are both human beings. It is too dangerous to go deep into the Soul Clan camp and meet the leader of the Soul Clan."

"No, you do." Yamada Machichi stared at him and said: "Su Ming'an, the dungeon is like home to you. As long as you want to do it, you can do it. As long as you agree to this deal, you can do it. Take me to meet with the leader of the Soul Clan - the key point now is, do you agree to this deal?"

"...You really trust me." Su Mingan said calmly: "But I really can't see the leader of the soul clan. I am a soul hunter, and I can't find the location of the leader of the soul clan."

"You can find it, I believe in you - as long as you agree to this deal." Yamada Machi's eyes were extremely firm.

"Even if you say so..."

"Because you are the number one player and the lighthouse, you can definitely do it, right?"

"I agree." Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

Yamada Town threw two blood-red professional evolution gems to him.

"May I ask why you met the leader of the Soul Clan?" Su Mingan accepted the gem.

"I have special props that are beneficial to the Soul Clan camp, but because of my status as a human, I cannot communicate with the Soul Clan's senior leaders. I have tried, but they just want to kill me as soon as they see me, and there is no way to talk to me properly." Yamada Machichi said: "But you can definitely do it, because you are a lighthouse, so you can definitely do anything successfully in the game copy."

"...You really have mastered the skills of communicating with me."

"I did learn it."

"Then we'll set off later." Su Mingan brushed past him.

"Just today?"

"It's a coincidence that I'm going to meet the leader of the Soul Clan tonight with you." Su Mingan turned around and looked at him with a warning look: "So, I will witness the whole process of the transaction between you and the leader. , if there was deception in your previous words, you still have a chance to confess."

"No." Yamada Machichi said: "I am different from idiots like Edward. I understand the cost of confronting you. Since I have the consciousness to contact you, I will not be stupid. What I tell is the truth."

"The live broadcast is still on."

"If the live broadcast is stopped, no one will know that Edward is a fool?"

"..." Su Mingan was silent for a moment: "I gradually like to communicate with you."

…

At night.

Su Mingan and Yamada Machichi each wore masks and black cloaks. They set out from the night on Thirteenth Street and relied on their respective displacement skills to jump over the night blockade of the soul hunters.

Praia seemed particularly chaotic at night. Through the pure white mask, Su Mingan saw many murders.

On the way, he used the professional evolution gem to upgrade the professional core skill clone to level 12.

The clear state is that fighting, sword and knife specializations have been upgraded to lv.8. In the shadow state, two more elemental resistances appear:

[Wind Resistance lv.8: You can be immune to elemental attacks with 15 mental points lower than you. 】

[Earth Resistance lv.8: You can be immune to elemental attacks with 15 mental points lower than you. 】

…

If this continues, he will probably be able to completely ignore attacks from legal players in his shadow state.

Su Mingan guessed that when the professional core skills are upgraded to level 20, there will be a qualitative breakthrough.

After all, he has seen from the forum that when ordinary players upgrade their professional skills to level ten, there will be a sublimation-like breakthrough. When his professional skills were upgraded to level ten, there was no significant change.

He guessed that the sublimation node of his profession should be at level 20.

According to the panoramic map of Praia, Su Mingan walked through the most remote alleys to Huali Street in the South District.

After killing a soul clan member who rushed forward with one sword, Su Mingan shook the sword in his hand and suddenly heard a voice from Yamada Town.

"Su Mingan." He said.

"explain."

"A lot of people are eyeing you." Yamada Machichi's voice was a little dull: "In this dungeon with thousands of people."

"As expected." Su Mingan looked at the night ahead: "My number has been leaked, and I didn't use anti-tracking props this time. Many people with ulterior motives are in the same dungeon with me, which is normal."

"...Have you ever thought about joining the United Group?" Yamada Machichi's voice floated over.

Su Mingan stopped slightly.

The cold night wind blew the hem of his cloak. He turned back and turned off the live broadcast.

"Are you one of these people with ulterior motives?" he said.

"I'm not urging you to join." Yamada Machichi said, "In fact, I really hope you don't join... this kind of organization."

"Why? Someone gave me props and equipment in the dungeon, why didn't I join?" Su Mingan began to ask him.

"Do you lack these equipment?" Yamada Machichi said: "I have roughly analyzed your damage data, and the equipment on your body should not be lower than the red level."

"But they might be able to offer me something more suitable."

"...No." Yamada Machichi was silent for a moment: "The risks and benefits do not match."

Su Mingan was silent for a moment.

Yamada Machichi is right, and he can see clearly.

…because the risks do not match the benefits.

The World Game has been open for more than two months, with more than nine months left.

No one knows what happens next.

Now, these people can trace his copy using the number. Later, more information will lead to more horrific things.

Because of the incident between Edward and Yu Ruohe, he has lost trust in this organization. Even if there are heroes and great people among them, there will inevitably be villains who put interests and power first.

Once he chooses to join it and is branded with the "United Group", he will inevitably be controlled by others.

His ordinary background made it impossible for him to have anyone who could truly trust him and stand on the same platform as him from the very beginning.

He knows how much influence he has, so it is impossible for him to hand over his influence to an organization that he has no idea about.

Whether it was Mizushima Kawakora or Edward, he could see that these people were not as free as they appeared, even if they were all people who had passed all levels perfectly like him.

A large world-wide organization like the United League can recruit talented people, and it can also tolerate talented people and strangers.

...But they will never tolerate an existence that is far above them in terms of voice and absolute strength.

They will inevitably consider the situation after the world game ends and start planning a "new order" from now on.

But in this order, there must not be a dominant existence like the "first player". They are fundamentally at odds.

They will definitely try their best to find an excuse for him. Whether it is in terms of desires, relationships, friendships, or public opinion, these people are much more manipulative than him.

Rather than being in it, it's better to maintain the independent relationship you have now.

Sometimes, people's hearts are much more complicated than copies.

It was the actions of people like Edward that first made him lose trust.

"...Then why do you want to cooperate with Noel?" Yamada Machichi's somewhat dry voice floated over, interrupting Su Ming'an's thoughts: "You don't trust organizations like the United Group, do you trust Noel?"

Su Mingan's expression did not change.

But from the look in his eyes, Yamada Machichi already got an answer.

…

【Yamada Town One. 】

[I don’t trust Noel either. 】
