Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

If it's about passing on some confidential guild information, typing can actually do the trick...

Although this was a different world, it was covered by the system and the "Three Secrets," giving players many conveniences and cheats. Therefore, this face-to-face information exchange was, to be honest, a bit strange.

But soon, Yu Man understood.

"Such a huge loss?" Yago looked at the paper, very annoyed.

That's not a letter, it's a manifest.

Ya Ge handed it to 70 next to him. The latter glanced at it, frowned and said "tsk".

They did not hide it from Yu Man.

"There were pirates, and we suffered another huge loss." From 70's tone, one could tell she felt a little distressed.

"It's normal to have pirates on major trade routes," Yago said, drumming his knuckles on the table to distract himself. "But this group of people is a bit troublesome. We haven't dealt with them yet. I have to say that our guards have been negligent."

There was no plea for help in their eyes, they were simply expressing their displeasure.

In their eyes, Yu Man and the others are undoubtedly their own people.

In fact, in the game, its role far exceeds this, and it actually serves as a "backer".

Seeing that Yu Man didn't speak, Xiaolu asked, "Are those pirates very strong?"

"They're really good at playing, that's all I can say. They're powerful, numerous, and clever and cunning. Furthermore, they're all players who can log off, so their movements are quite erratic..."

After Yago finished speaking, his daughter took over and added.

"This order of goods cost several thousand gold coins. We were supposed to sell them on the black market and turn them into funds for building new overseas territories, but now it's going to be delayed again..."

70 said this, hesitantly, and anyone could see that there was something more to come from her lips.

Towards Yu Man, she slowly spoke her heart out—

"At times like this, I do have an idea. If I were strong enough, I could get rid of these evils."

"In this game, becoming stronger requires a lot of time and energy..." Yu Man said worriedly.

and--

time.

In anyone's life, at different stages, the value of time is unequal.

Some are insignificant, while others are too precious to be wasted.

Especially - it is the year of the college entrance examination for Chinese people.

Can--

"If it's just until the end of the Spring Split—roughly a month and a half from today... I'm fine with that. If Uncle Eel doesn't mind, I'd really like to get stronger on your team. Playing in competitions... is something I'm also very interested in!"

She saw the worry in Yu Man's eyes and knew what Yu Man was thinking.

She took a sip of tea and polished her words and attitude.

Opening up like this——

"Uncle Eel, I look at life a little differently. The Gaokao is a challenging and interesting test for me, and I need to prepare for it throughout high school. It doesn't matter if I fail, but I want to succeed."

She smiled—

"But the spring tournament you invited me to participate in is another very interesting and large hurdle, and I am very happy to take on the challenge. The preparation time is only one and a half months in high school, which I can afford and am very willing to pay."

"you sure?"

"Of course, I'm very willing to accumulate such a fulfilling experience for myself."

Having said that, 70 looked at his father next to him with a complicated expression.

Her words became extremely blunt: "I can afford to lose anything. After all, I was born into a family that can provide me with unlimited support. Therefore, I can challenge any level. You don't have to worry."

"it is good."

Yu Man stopped nagging and held out his hand to her. "Alright then, 70, you'll be our fourth player. From now on, until the end of the Spring Split, everything will be under my control."

"Okay!" She was eager to try, even very happy.

Seeing his daughter full of energy, Yago became very happy.

After all, he is old, and he also has things he wants to talk about.

"When I was young, I experienced a period of linear external evaluation. From the internet cafes and game halls everywhere, to the tragic arson attack on one internet cafe, the entire country's attitude suddenly changed. But even so, the internet cafes filled with cigarettes and thugs still absorbed the souls of students... I was already an adult by then and witnessed a lot of madness."

This is something Yu Man has never experienced.

Although I roughly understand it, I really don't have any real feeling about it.

70 had an expression that said "here we go again", and no one wanted to offend him, so they just listened.

"It certainly destroyed many families and childhoods... it truly was. But I have to say, some children emerged from it and found another path in life... although they were a very small minority. At that time, esports competitions gradually became a thing, and many young people flocked to them... until today."

The confidant who delivered the letter could not find a suitable time to leave.

There was no way out, I just stayed there awkwardly and had to listen to the middle-aged man's insights.

"From the beginning, the competition was heavily criticized and opposed, but gradually it began to bring in a sense of honor and prize money. Then, it became commonplace, commonplace, and no one was willing to criticize it anymore. It took root in the lives of young people. Until today, it's been gradually overshadowed by the old world... It's been a linear upward process, and we are now at the peak of it."

"Are you done? Are you?" 70 stared at him because he was looking at him.

"Now, you have the chance to win the first crown on this mountain. Have fun and return the sponsorship fee to me."

"I'll try my best! I'll try my best!" 70 didn't dare to say anything big because she had no confidence in herself.

But the difference is that she just wants to enjoy the process and experience it to the fullest.

Ya Ge looked at Yu Man and said, "I'll also be your team's sponsor. Anyway, you can use all the game resources of Xiankan. Besides that, the various expenses required to go to the stadium--"

"Hmph, hmph." Xiaolu cleared his throat, "I'm the team boss, I'm responsible."

"what……"

Seeing this, Yu Man smiled and said, "Brother Ya, what logo do you want to display? Or what kind of commercial activities do you want to conduct? We will help you."

Yago choked. He had originally wanted to make a business of it, to secure a sponsorship that would be very beneficial to his company. However, Yu Man and the others had no desire for it, which made it difficult for him to negotiate the money, and he certainly didn't want to take advantage of them.

But after thinking about it carefully, didn't I sponsor my daughter to go there? That can be considered as giving, right?

Well, we still have to print our own trademark when the time comes.

He gradually convinced himself and became cheerful.

At this time-

"The pirates that are bothering you... I'm a little interested." Yu Man finally spoke.

This made Yago lose face, and 70 also waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, our guild can handle it ourselves, why should we trouble you..."

"We are a group, don't be so distant. And we have already agreed that during this period of time, you will listen to me in everything."

Since Yago said that the pirates played well, maybe there is some talent among them that can be discovered. Anyway, the team is still short of one person.

Yu Man was indeed anxious to get the team together so that he could complete the configuration, training and running-in as soon as possible to increase the probability of winning.

Otherwise, if there is a wrong move and Senior Cat fails to come out, I will have no choice but to tear up the agreement and burn the moon to summon Senior Cat... which will damage the elegance of the old world.

"That……"

"Give me all the information."

……

After the meeting, Xiaolu took his new teammates and Liutong Qihua to the lord's mansion to build a guild.

Yu Man stayed alone in the confidential database of the "Xiankan" guild, and checked all the intelligence about pirates, as well as a large amount of information on trade routes and trade transactions.

Their business capabilities are indeed very strong. 70 took over all of the trade and regarded it as a practice for taking over the company in the future.

Therefore, they are well organized, and their written documents are completely in accordance with the normal company system. They even recruit full-time financial, administrative, and archival personnel to ensure that everything is well documented.

"The first time it appeared was about two weeks ago... in illegal waters... in front of other merchant ships, it robbed a player's cargo ship carrying 3,000 gold coins... Did it already have this ability back then?"

Next, their scale gradually expanded, their methods became more sophisticated, and their appearances became completely irregular.

But he succeeded every time and continued to plunder wealth from them, resulting in a total loss of tens of thousands of gold coins.

Moreover, they have stable channels for selling stolen goods and can cash in quickly, so they are well equipped with ships, personnel and equipment.

In a recent raid, they displayed an entire fleet of dozens of men, clearly divided into teams and well-equipped. The main attacking team even boasted tier six or seven personnel. They sank the player ships and drove off with the merchant ships...

The scattered teams that "watched casually" could not win, and even when they organized a regular large team, they were left behind by the opponent's mobility.

Even using rare flying mounts to try to gather intelligence, nothing worked.

Although Shimla Bakken is a holy land for craftsmen, and although "Xiankan"'s business is doing very well.

But the illegal activities that followed continued to surge...

Yu Man spread out the map and marked all the information.

"The place where the stolen goods were sold was the black market, that's for sure... Well, that's enough."

If the opponent is a player, then this is the only piece of information needed.

No matter what, the other party will go there to sell the stolen goods.

As for the patterns of activity, whether there are traitors, special bases... none of these matter.

She knocked on the table and called over a high-ranking civilian who was responsible for consulting on the dossier. "It should be done within two days. Just tell your guild leader so."

The civilian staff waited for a long time, but Yu Man did not speak.

He couldn't help but ask, "...Huh? What do we need to do? What kind of manpower, supplies, and intelligence do we need?"

"Huh? You don't need anything."

"Then...what about the confidentiality?"

"No need. Just say whatever you want when you're drinking with others, even if it's exaggerated. It doesn't matter. That's all."

The civilian staff was very confused, but still aware of the reputation of the player in front of them, they nervously took their leave.

Yu Manze left the guild territory alone and walked back to the port leisurely.

I spent ten silver coins to add a purchase request letter in the corner of the notice board.

"With a limited budget, we're looking to purchase two small, fourth-tier merchant ships. As long as they're usable, they don't matter whether they're new or old."

……

(At great cost, I forced my biological clock to go back an hour.

I've been feeling a bit down lately, but everything will be fine. Tomorrow! I'll definitely update...)

219 "The Illusory Nest"

Although Yu Man calls herself a PVE player, as mentioned earlier, she also has her favorite PVP content.

pirate.

Perhaps because she took on too many commissions from bosses to protect merchant ships in order to make money to support herself last week, she actually has a lot of experience in how to be a pirate.

And indeed I did that a lot.

She traveled alone or took on various pirate commissions. Throughout the oceans of the Old World, she both protected and robbed escorts, and she did quite well on both ends.

She was very self-disciplined, very dedicated to her work, and had a strong sense of confidentiality. Therefore, most of the escort robbery jobs she received came from businessmen, who hoped to use her efficient robbery to defeat their business rivals...

Of course, I couldn't continue playing in the end.

After all, she was more interested in PVE. What's more, she relied on it to earn enough to live on, and also earned a lot of gold coins and goods in the game. It became a little unchallenging and she began to feel tired.

But the main reason was that merchants from all over the world jointly proposed to raise a large amount of retirement funds, allowing her to retire fairly. She would no longer dominate the sea trade like a typhoon.

From then on, she was sealed.

But now, the agreement to retire has been reset and is naturally invalid.
