Even if a fisherman enters an infinite game, he still has to cast a rod
Chapter 3: The Beggar Stumbles upon a Clue
The cabin fell into silence for the second time because of the appearance of this new player.
"How pitiful."
The old lady couldn't bear it, so she took out a steamed bun from her shopping bag and asked her grandson to pass it to the blind beggar. The beggar took the bun, touched it, and smelled it. He was so overjoyed that he couldn't believe it and shouted hoarsely, "Thank you! Kind man!"
"How can such a person still be alive today?" Brother Wang was full of disgust and said, "Hey, blind man, do you know where you are?"
Jiang Yuan chewed the steamed bun and said incoherently, "What to eat?"
Brother Wang: "Well, he is blind and deaf, he is definitely a hindrance."
Bald Fat Man: "I'll give it to the executive officer later."
Everyone let down their guard in disgust, but Luo Mingdeng picked up a piece of rusty iron and threw it towards Jiang Yuan's face while no one was paying attention, scaring everyone around them.
The piece of iron passed accurately past the beggar's cheek, until the sound of wind passed his ears, and the beggar, who was chewing a steamed bun with his head down, looked up in confusion.
"Eh? ...What?"
Jiang Yuan played the blind beggar vividly and to perfection, as if he had just noticed something flying by.
The old lady couldn't bear to see this, so she whispered, "Hey, Mingdeng, he's just a blind beggar, why do you have to be so mean to him?"
Brother Wang folded his arms: "What else can I do? Big stars can't stand cripples, haha."
Was it really a misunderstanding? Or maybe the fake beggar was just too good at acting.
Luo Mingdeng didn't say anything, but stared at the beggar's every move. He believed in his intuition and thought that he should try a more direct approach...
Suddenly, the space among the crowd twisted and changed, and the intrusion of a petite figure interrupted Luo Mingdeng's plans.
"Hello everyone, I am the executive officer who is here to rescue this game. My name is Mo You, and I am affiliated with the First Detachment of the Xijing Infinite Security Department. My executive number is ."
As soon as the little girl entered the strange cave, she saluted to the people around her.
She was wearing a fitted black uniform with purple edges. On the golden badge on her chest was a picture of a self-eating snake in the shape of a Möbius strip. The snake's head in the center of the strip was cut off by a long sword. It was a standard executive attire.
But even though she was dressed neatly and stood straight, her petite figure and childish face still made people feel a little uneasy.
The executive officer was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Although the girl was directly under the First Brigade of the Security Department and her abilities were definitely not bad, the aunt looked at her clean shoulder straps and considered her words: "Little sister, it's not that Auntie doesn't trust you... Is your internship over?"
Executive Officer Mo You answered seriously: "My master said that as long as I can help you complete this game safely, he will let me pass the internship period."
The old lady covered her face, and the other men couldn't help laughing.
The girl explained seriously: "Please rest assured, after testing by the security department, this game is rated [Danger]. My master said I can handle it."
Since the advent of the Guiyou game, the Ministry of State Security has divided all games into four levels: safe, dangerous, endangered, and destroyed.
【An】means that this game is simple and almost no one will die.
[Dangerous] means that this game is somewhat dangerous and people may die, but it is not difficult.
【歹】means that this game is dangerous, people can easily die, and it is difficult.
[Extinction] means that this game is doomed to fail and requires a lot of manpower and resources, or you can just give up.
Usually, people encounter [Safe] or [Dangerous] level games, which are extremely rare, and extinction level games only occur once every ten years.
In Jiang Yuan's era, it was impossible to send only one trainee executive officer to a dangerous game. However, with the development of the times, people have more and more jewelry, equipment and props in their hands, and even dangerous games have become sparse and commonplace, with an extremely low mortality rate. If the aunt had not been worried about those men, she would have not called for an executive officer.
To use a car accident as an analogy, encountering a crisis game is like two cars scraping against each other, and the car owners are too lazy to call the traffic police, so they settle the matter privately.
Brother Wang folded his hands: "Old woman. Now the executive officer is here, you have nothing to say, right?"
The aunt was helpless: "...Okay, let's get started."
Mo You nodded and took out his phone: "Okay, before we start, I need to register the identities of all the players according to the regulations."
She walked to the nearest Luo Mingdeng and asked, "Name, ID, location of the cave when you entered..."
Luo Mingdeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "You asked me my name?"
Mo You raised his head and looked at him doubtfully: "Do I know you?"
The two looked at each other, the situation was a little awkward for a moment, and Jiang Yuan was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
The corner of Luo Mingdeng's mouth twitched, and he suspected that she was playing hard to get.
The aunt was surprised: "Xiaoyou, don't you know Luo Mingdeng? He is the most popular professional gaming star right now!"
Mo You thought about it again and answered sincerely: "But I really don't know him."
The aunt was furious: "As an executive, how come you are so uninformed? Come, let Aunt Zhang explain it to you!"
Without further ado, she pulled the executive aside and began to tell her about... no, the glorious past of the science star.
Jiang Yuan found it interesting, so he moved closer and listened.
"A few years ago, when game live streaming was just starting to take off, the entire industry was in a mess, with all kinds of monsters and demons coming out. In order to make money, those small, informal companies would sign a lot of anchors, and then arrange for them to enter the game and conduct all kinds of bloody, violent, and pornographic live broadcasts to attract attention. You know this, right?"
Mo You: "I heard about it. Later, there was a big crackdown and many people were arrested."
"Yes, then do you know why they suddenly reorganized it?"
"I don't know."
Aunt Zhang clapped her hands and said, "It's because of the bright light!"
"At that time, Ming Deng was deceived into a shell company because of her good looks. Right after she signed the contract, the boss tried to take advantage of her. After Ming Deng rejected him, the boss, in revenge, tricked Ming Deng and a group of newcomers into a dangerous game, and almost wiped them out."
Mo You: "And then?"
"Then of course it was Ming Deng who protected the group of new recruits and they fought their way out after narrowly escaping death.
And as soon as he came out, he carried the ghost door he had just conquered, broke into the drinking party, kicked the dirty boss and his accomplices into the game, and then followed them in.
A day later, that group of black-hearted bosses came out with their pants wet, crawled into the Security Bureau howling, and confessed everything they had done one by one. They also begged the executive officers to lock them up quickly. For this purpose, they even reported a lot of garbage like them, which involved a lot of vicious cases. This led to the Security Department's major rectification of game live streaming.
After that, Ming Deng founded his own studio and joined the professional gaming league. He won the championship last year and was named the Goddess of Luo River. He is also a favorite to win the championship this year! Isn’t that amazing? "
Mo You was puzzled: "There is a champion every year, so every year someone is deified? Is it so easy to be a god?"
Auntie: "Oh, kid! That's not the point! The point is that Luo Mingdeng is very powerful, so everyone gave him this nickname!"
Mo You nodded: "So that's how it is, it's quite amazing."
Such a polite and perfunctory answer made Luo Shen's face darken immediately.
puff......!
Jiang Yuan lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter. This little girl was quite interesting.
However, as soon as he finished laughing, the executive officer turned around and he became the next person to be laughed at.
"What?" He pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. His ears suddenly felt bad, so he pretended that he didn't hear clearly.
"ID card! An electronic or physical ID card will do! Or you can report your ID number! If you really don't have one! Then I'd like to trouble you to go to the Security Department with me after this is over!" Mo You shouted in his ear.
Luo Mingdeng stood behind Mo You, wanting to see with great interest how this blind beggar would respond.
"Oh, the ID card..."
He leaned against the dirty wall and rummaged through his pockets. Luo Mingdeng was sure that he could not produce his ID card. Just as he was about to ask the officer to wipe his face clean so that he could see who this man was, he saw that the beggar actually took out a dirty ID card.
"Yu Fu?"
"Ah! It's me!"
Looking at the photo, although the face was a little dirty, it seemed to match. However, Mo You was stunned for a moment when he saw the name, and muttered quietly: "The same surname as my master..."
As for the location of the strange cave, Jiang Yuan couldn't tell the truth. He followed Luo Mingdeng and the aunt and reported a park trail on the second ring road of Xijing.
The reason for reporting the location of the spooky cave is to inform the security department to protect the entrance of the spooky cave, prevent others from falling in, and prepare for the players to leave the game. If there are multiple spooky caves, people will be assigned to guard each location.
After completing the registration and confirming that all players had fallen into the same strange hole, Mo You reported the situation to the security department. Then, as usual, she explained to the players the precautions after the game started.
“To ensure the safety of all players in the game, please remember the following points.
1. In the game, the executive officer represents the national law and has absolute law enforcement power.
Second, players must obey the command of the executive officer during the game and are prohibited from taking any action without authorization. If a player insists on violating the rules, the executive officer has the right to impose sanctions.
Third, after the game is over, the props and pearls will be distributed fairly by the executive officer. "
"Have I made myself clear?"
Everyone nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, I understand."
Obviously, everyone is used to this process.
Everything was ready. All that was left was to walk out of the safe house and the game would begin. The little girl climbed up the wooden ladder first, put her hands up, and pushed open the entrance to the cell on the roof.
"The game will begin, please follow me..."
The dazzling sunlight poured in from behind the door, blinding everyone. However, Jiang Yuan noticed a tall black shadow behind the door!
"Whoosh!!!"
The sound of wind pierced my ears, and the black shadow came down on the girl's head! It was about to hit her!
"Danger!"
At the critical moment, Luo Mingdeng was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The silver bracelet on his hand immediately turned into a snow-shadow spear, which repelled the black shadow, protected Mo You, and jumped out first!
"Wow!!!!"
There were continuous screams coming from outside the cabin.
"It's the foreigners who are invading! Kill them!!! Kill them all!!!"
“I’m dying!!!”
Everyone took the opportunity to file out, climb out of the cabin, and directly fight with the pirates outside the door.
All of a sudden, there were continuous sounds of banging, roaring, and sharp objects piercing flesh outside the cabin door. Jiang Yuan faithfully performed his duty, pretending to be a cripple, and stayed in the cabin with the little boy until the end when he finally climbed out of the cabin tremblingly.
He used the fishing rod as a guide stick, and when the lame boy came out, the fierce battle was almost over.
Dozens of tall men were lying in a mess outside the cabin, with deep and three-dimensional facial features and ferocious looks, all dressed like Western pirates from the Age of Discovery.
What surprised him was that not all these pirates were killed by the great star Luo. Other players also skillfully used their weapons and defeated many pirates.
Even Aunt Zhang killed two pirates with a flat-top pan.
The movements are decisive and neat, with big openings and closings, which is admirable.
On the contrary, the young executive officer, holding a man-high saber, stood by, his hair disheveled in the wind, looking at the group of citizens in front of him with extremely strong fighting power. The expression on his face was like that of a fledgling college student who was experiencing the beating of society for the first time.
The first battle took only five minutes from start to end.
Mo You looked at the dead pirates on the ground and asked, "... Didn't you leave any alive?"
The players looked around and nodded proudly: "Yeah, they're all dead!"
"But... you killed all the pirates, so what are you going to do with the next clue?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone fell silent.
Yes, logically they should have left an NPC character behind to interrogate him for the next task, but they just got started and left no one alive, so what should they do next?
The aunt was a little embarrassed: "Ah, you didn't say you wanted to leave anyone alive!"
Brother Wang: "Why keep them? These pirates are like crazy. Just kill them and look for clues later."
Aunt: "You talk like a fart, what if I can't find it?"
Brother Wang: "You old woman! You just like to argue with me, don't you?"
Seeing that the quarrel was about to break out again, the young executive hurriedly tried to persuade them in a gentle voice. Luo Mingdeng stood aside with his hands folded and watched the show, glancing at Jiang Yuan from time to time.
Jiang Yuan sighed in his heart, people nowadays have really hot tempers.
He had discovered the clue when he came here.
Just behind the right side of the rudder, there is a brand new stack of paper under the bodies of two pirates. It is out of place with the surrounding environment and is most likely a clue to what is to come.
But he is a blind beggar now and cannot say it directly. He has to hide it from others and avoid Luo Mingdeng.
Mo You shouted: "I can only trouble everyone to look around and see if there are any clues!"
Everyone nodded and dispersed to look for clues. Jiang Yuan turned around in confusion and wandered around with his cane.
The ship was shaking, and everyone searched the pirate ship inside and out for a long time, but no one found the clue. Jiang Yuan thought Luo Mingdeng might have some brains, but he didn't expect that guy was so smart and went straight into the captain's room.
Just as he was about to make some noise, someone suddenly pushed him from behind!
"Oh!!!"
With a bang, Jiang Yuan fell heavily, hitting the pirate's body in a dog-eating-shit posture, and the people around him turned their heads to look over.
The man in the shirt came over first and helped Jiang Yuan up: "Brother, are you okay?"
Jiang Yuan cursed in his heart: Don't you know whether I'm okay or not? It was you who pushed me!
But he thought quickly and soon figured out the meaning of this push: this man knew there was a clue here, but didn't want to say it out loud, so he pushed the beggar to draw everyone's attention to the clue.
But Jiang Yuan was not someone to be trifled with, so he took advantage of the situation and grabbed the shirt man by the collar, shouting, "You! Why are you pushing me? Why are you pushing me?! Do you want to kill me?!"
"Ah? Are you crazy? Why would I push you?" The man in the shirt waved his hands when he saw the executive officer coming over: "No, it wasn't me. I didn't do anything, you blind man! Is there any evidence to prove that I pushed you!?"
"Oh! Everyone, come and look! Someone is bullying a beggar here! This bad guy is getting his comeuppance!"
When Brother Wang saw his accomplice being arrested, he yelled, "Hey! You blind idiot, stop making trouble here! Lao Li, are you okay?"
The executive officer was overwhelmed when he saw the players making a scene again: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop for a moment... Stop making trouble..."
She didn't expect that the conflicts between these players were more difficult to deal with than the monsters in the game. Just as she walked over to persuade them, her attention was attracted by something at the beggar's feet.
"Huh? What is this?"
She walked over to the pirate's body, carefully moved the body away, and took out the stack of papers underneath.
"Great, it's a clue!" The executive officer was overjoyed, and everyone stopped arguing immediately.
It was a nautical chart with red lines drawn on it and a newspaper soaked in blood.
The entire page of the newspaper only contained one piece of news:
[Princess Isa's wedding is coming up, and the king has prepared 300 tons of gold for her as a dowry! ]
"I see." Luo Mingdeng poked his head out from behind the crowd and said thoughtfully:
"It seems that our mission is related to this princess."
