Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"Hey! Ah Hao, have you noticed anything? Our boss has been surprisingly quiet all this time! I just stole a peek and saw that he was staring intently at the Xuanshan School's Heart Sutra that we copied out! In my opinion, this thing is really useful to our boss!"

After Dachun conveyed his thoughts to the old group of businessmen, he continued to chat with Ah Hao.

"That's right! Brother Dachun, I find it quite strange too. After all, for someone as powerful as the boss, what amazing skills must he not have seen? And yet he can study this Xuanshan School's Heart Sutra so intently and non-stop.

It seems that what Longguo is vigorously promoting this time is indeed not simple! I have to say, Brother Dachun, the decision you made to dictate at that time was very wise! It really helped the boss! "

Ah Hao nodded repeatedly in response, and at the same time turned his head to glance at Wu Ming who was immersed in the mental method.

Wu Ming was seen holding the Xuanshan School's secret method that Zhang Dachun and the other two had written down in his hands. Sometimes he frowned, as if he had encountered some difficulties, and sometimes he looked happy, as if he had had some sudden enlightenment.

He was completely immersed in it, the outside noise not affecting him in the slightest. What Dachun and the others didn't know was that Wu Ming's frowns and smiles were all because he was thinking about other things. Of course, he was also silently reciting the mental method.

Seeing that Wu Ming was so obsessed with studying the mental method, and no one came to disturb him along the way, Dachun and Ah Hao understood what he meant and continued to devote themselves to their work.

One of them was responsible for clearing the way for the truck and clearing out the monsters that popped up from time to time to cause trouble, while the other followed closely behind, keeping an eye out for possible dangers and continuing to chat incoherently along the way.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, the originally bright sky was gradually covered by a layer of light twilight.

At this time, everyone just arrived at the teleportation array of the next map. After a flash of light, they came to the wild area map of the abandoned city.

This map is still a wild map like the Pearl Harbor one, and it still has various continuous mountains. However, starting from this map, there seems to be an old and decayed atmosphere everywhere, and occasionally there are some ruins, which makes people feel chilly.

However, for Dachun, Ah Hao and others who have long been accustomed to the world of MapleStory, such scenes are just commonplace.

Night fell quietly, and the entire MapleStory world was shrouded in a mysterious black veil. In the mountains on the edge of this long-abandoned city.

A strange camel cart was moving slowly. It seemed that there was too much cargo, and the wheels made a creaking sound, as if telling of the preciousness of the cargo.

The businessman Lao Tuan, who was sitting on the camel cart, glanced ahead sharply. When he saw a shabby door sign on the roadside, he was delighted and quickly waved the baton in his hand to stop the camel and the cart.

"Let's find a secret place nearby to rest for the night! You three are mercenaries hired by the escort agency to escort me, so you have to take turns guarding this shipment of goods at night!"

The businessman Lao Tuan pointed at the door sign and shouted to the three people behind him.

Hearing Lao Tuan's words, Wu Ming, who had been immersed in silently reciting the Xuanshan School's inner skills, suddenly looked up. He blinked as if waking from a dream and put the inner skills back into his backpack. Only then did he notice that the sky had completely darkened and the surrounding scenery had become blurry.

Wu Ming gathered his composure and looked around. In the dim moonlight, he could barely make out the scene before him. Right in front of the truck stood a sign made of iron railings.

The material of those railings looked somewhat similar to stainless steel, but in this MapleStory world, so-called stainless steel was probably just ordinary steel. These steel pipes had been baptized by the years, and their surfaces were covered with rust and scratches, making them look particularly old and dilapidated.

In this desolate wilderness, a huge door sign stood tall. Made of solid steel, it bore the words "Welcome to the Abandoned City" in bold letters.

From a distance, Wu Ming felt it resembled the welcome signs seen by cars on provincial roads on Blue Star. However, due to its location in the wilderness and lack of maintenance, the sign appeared rather dilapidated.

It can be seen that the door sign is surrounded by weeds, as if it were a green ocean tightly surrounding it. Those tough vines are wrapped around the door sign like snakes, growing wantonly.

Not only that, after a long period of exposure to wind and rain, the surface of the door sign has slightly turned red rust, which adds a sense of vicissitudes of time to the originally cold and hard steel.

It was night time now, and the number of people leveling up and hunting monsters in the wild was decreasing. The reason was simple: most people who relied on hunting low-level monsters in the wild to make money were relatively weak.

For these people, hunting in the wild at night is no less painful than working overtime all night on Blue Star! Therefore, when night falls, these ordinary people usually choose to travel back to Blue Star to rest, set up stalls to trade, or enjoy other ordinary daily life.

In contrast, those who possess strong strength at this stage will go straight to the map where the abandoned sewer dungeon is located. There they will gather their teammates to form a team, and then rest and wait quietly for the dungeon number to refresh in the early hours of the morning.

Once the early morning arrives, they will enter the dungeon without hesitation to engage in fierce battles. By constantly killing monsters and clearing the dungeon, they can upgrade and obtain precious career change card fragments in order to pursue higher levels of income and growth.

However, after a few days of fermentation, as more and more people completed their job changes, the benefits brought by abandoned copies inevitably gradually decreased.

Despite this, for those who only kill low-level monsters every day to gain a little profit but have a certain level of strength, the benefits that the copy can provide are still quite considerable.

"Master, you're quite experienced in camping outdoors! After all, as a merchant who frequently travels the country transporting goods, you must have unique insights. In your opinion, where would be the best place for us to set up camp for the night?"

At this time, Wu Ming, who had just come back to his senses from his thoughts, slowly scanned the surroundings and finally broke the silence and spoke.

It's interesting to say that although everyone had already known through the task panel that the old man in front of them was named Lao Tuan, they never called him by his name during the journey.

Instead, it was during a casual chat, after Lao Tuan himself revealed his title, that Wu Ming and the other two began to call him "Lao Tuan".

Otherwise, if Wu Ming and the other three just stared at the name given on the task panel and called it out without thinking, it would most likely cause some unexpected trouble.

You know, a person's name is often private and special. If you have never revealed your real name to others, but someone calls it out without you realizing it, just imagining this situation will make you feel creepy and frightened.

Because of this, although Wu Ming and the other three knew the name of the businessman Lao Tuan, they still resisted the urge to call him by his name directly and never asked or called him by his name easily.

Instead, they can only use more general and vague terms such as "elderly man" or "old man" to refer to the old businessman!

Finally, after a period of patience, perhaps the old leader could no longer tolerate these young people always calling him by such ambiguous names.

Perhaps he realized that Wu Ming and the others had no ill intentions towards him and were simply extraneous staff members of the escort agency. In the end, he could no longer resist their random calling of names and finally took the initiative to tell them his name.

"In that case, let's find a suitable spot next to this door sign to set up camp and camp here tonight! According to the arrangement I just mentioned, the three of you can discuss and take turns on night duty.

Judging from the experience I've accumulated while transporting goods over the years, usually, when you're out in the wild at night, the most important things to be wary of are the unpredictable wild monsters!

As for those bandits, generally speaking, they rarely choose to act rashly at night! So it's quite easy for you to keep watch at night. After all, I have seen your strength along the way!"

After hearing what Wu Ming said, the old man who came from a businessman family raised his hand without hesitation, pointed directly to the door sign that had been abandoned for a long time, and said in a decisive tone.
