Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Okay, Uncle Eel."

"Should we prepare for battle?" asked the deer.

"Yes, but not now."

Yu Man recounted:

"We look too weak, so they naturally won't send out all of us. But when they take us to visit them... you should be more welcoming."

……

The tracking information ship was always looming on the other side of the horizon.

When it suddenly accelerated——

From the other side, three ships suddenly came towards them at high speed.

"Here it comes." The little deer shouted excitedly.

Six and seven flowers are as peaceful as ever.

70 is just nervous.

The three ships moved quickly but soon dispersed, forming a simple encirclement.

Together with the information ship coming from behind, they gathered from all directions.

"Okay, Lu, Hua, come here. Let's abandon that boat and escape on this one."

"……That?"

Instead of answering, Yu Man gently lifted the knot.

The "eye" within it slowly emerged from nothingness, thus dispelling the deer's doubts.

The "Eye" shared its vision with Yu Man, stepped skillfully into another cargo ship, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Well, run away, water magician—"

"Ah good!"

70 quickly understood the meaning and accelerated immediately, allowing the small cargo ship to quickly pass through the encirclement.

The four pirate ships tried to chase for a long time - but they still couldn't catch up.

They had to turn back and take away the remaining ships.

I gained a lot, but I went home with a little regret.

……

Players and NPCs are different.

Players ultimately live in the real world and know that this is the game they are experiencing.

It is difficult to make them betray their companions by coercion or inducement, and they are not afraid of death. After all, everything can be reset when they wake up from the resurrection point.

So - it's hard to ask for specific information.

That's fine.

Yu Man spread out his hands, and the vision shared by the "eye" was very clear about their movements.

"Okay, I'll see where their home is—then bring some gifts and visit them, and have a feast."

222·Forever!

Under the quiet moon, Yu Man and her friends' boat drifted with the current.

On the silent sea, the salty smell and the sound of waves accompanied the girls' conversations, so faint that they sounded like the sobs of a siren.

Yu Man leaned against the warehouse, closed his eyes, and concentrated on sharing the vision with the "eye".

"They are very happy. The ship is also very valuable..."

Thanks to the huge amount of specialization points he had obtained from the two 10.4 copies, Yu Man's current secondary profession, [Promise Keeper], is even close to full specialization.

Therefore, Yu Man's relationship with the reflection of the old world has become closer and stronger.

Even though we are far apart, even though the sea breeze blows——

The vision gained from the reflection of the old world is still clear and distinct.

"Well... they didn't touch the warehouse, or even steal anything... they just checked it, counted the value, and recorded it."

Yu Man gradually turned the information he obtained into words and shared it with his teammates.

Teammates also realized that they can think and use their brains.

70 spoke first. "Such discipline and professionalism... They must be the pirates who have been robbing us."

At the same time, she was secretly surprised that Yu Man had managed to lure out these people so easily...

The elite members of his guild have been defeated by these pirates so far.

But on second thought, it’s not that difficult to just catch the pirates. This level of bait idea, sending invisible members undercover to follow... there should be someone who can come up with it.

The gap should be in the word "confidence".

Yu Man is absolutely confident that he can easily destroy the entire pirate group with his own strength.

Not only that, but the same is true for the deer.

Therefore, they did it with great confidence and made the results even better.

But when I was just "looking at" the people in the guild, my mindset was always stuck on relying on the strength of the guild's elite...

"Eel, how strong are those pirates?" Xiaolu asked Yu Man.

After a while, Yu Man slowly replied:

"It's not bad. Tier 5 equipment is the mainstream, and a few small bosses have some Tier 6 equipment. Judging from the scale of magic power sensed by my 'eyes', their specialization is not very good... But there are indeed quite a lot of them, and the equipment is very complete."

"Because you've been playing pirate all the time, you don't have time to go to dungeons and accumulate expertise, right?" Xiaolu said casually.

Yu Man was not interested in finding out the reasons, it was all the same anyway.

The deer asked again, "Eel, if there weren't summoning classes like you that could summon scouts to lurk around, how would normal players find their base?"

"There are many ways... For example, you could use an assassin class to sneak into the ship, or an elemental summoner class to summon a similar scout. Besides, didn't I ask you to play the "Illusionist"? You can also transform into a mouse or something and hide on the ship..."

"...Then, how should we deal with it? What if we get caught like this?"

"Rely on investigative skills, or use stealth-breaking items... There are also various adventurer professions, such as fortune tellers, and so on. There are all kinds of methods. This involves the game of tracking and counter-tracking, which is a bit complicated."

It's not just about the deer, it's also very important for the future of the guild. 70 listened and took notes carefully.

Just when she wanted to continue her quest for scriptures——

Yu Man's expression changed slightly. "We can see their base...it's quite close. Let's go, shipwright, and sail southwest."

"receive."

Their little boat quickly set sail and sailed away, riding the night wind.

On the road——

"70, there's something I need to talk to you about first."

Yu Man continued to control his vision and spoke with his eyes closed.

70 is very clever: "Don't worry, Uncle Eel, I don't want to "look at" all the spoils."

This is indeed what Yu Manxiang wanted to talk about - the distribution of the spoils.

This is not like popping champagne at halftime. Any team will discuss the issue of interest distribution in advance to avoid conflicts later.

Not only that, 70 also said: "As long as you can wipe out these pirates, I am even willing to pay a large sum of money. But it is obvious that Uncle Eel is not short of RMB and gold coins. All I can say is that if you have any needs, please ask me, and I will not be vague."

Well, there is still a lack of it, but who asked her to call me Uncle Eel...

Whatever.

"Then your demand is annihilation, not recruitment and incorporation." Yu Man confirmed again.

"Yes, please, Uncle Eel."

"It's not a big deal—you have to join the battle, after all. Don't blame me when you die. Just quit the team, delete your friends, and block me—that's all..."

No matter how much psychological preparation you do beforehand and how many topics about fairness you talk about.

But there is nothing we can do about it - this kind of thing happens quite often.

……

As the voyage deepened——

Yu Man also obtained a lot of information about this pirate group.

"You really can't find their hideout. It's a snorkeling island."

Yu Man casually explained to 70.

"It sinks or rises with the passage of time, sensing the concentration of magic in the air, or perhaps manipulated by humans... It's a rather unusual island, and it definitely doesn't exist on a map."

especially--

They controlled the supply stations on the surrounding islands and deliberately erased their location from the information provided to all navigators.

If it is to send the top speed ship to track, but they are all players.

There is also the method of going offline - you can easily hide your location.

As long as they don't want to, ordinary means cannot reveal the location of this hideout.

But unfortunately, Yu Man is an old player.

"Oh... we've arrived—the small boat we used as bait was swallowed by the island. It's now on Snorkeling Island with them... They're moving their treasure, and the location of the warehouse has been revealed to me... Yeah, that's good."

Xiaolu remembered all the information provided by Yuman.

Moreover, many combat plans were secretly formulated based on the premise that the enemy would retreat underwater.

only--

Not a single one was used.

……

Calm sea.

There is no wind or waves, and the silence is endless.

The dark night melted into the sea, making it impossible for them to see what was on the seabed.

But Yu Man uses two simple words to reveal the scenery beneath the sea.

"arrive."

70 He hurriedly stopped sailing and took in the sails, clumsily gathering his staff.

The deer slowly stood up, sword in hand.

Liu Tong Qi Hua was checking his battle preparations, thinking, "Alas, this time, I guess all the enemies will be slaughtered at lightning speed. I won't have to provide any healing at all, I can just watch the whole thing... But I also have to prepare myself for battle, lest I slack off and get kicked out of the team."

For the pirates...

It is——

"Knock on the door first." Yu Man opened her eyes.

There was a faint moonlight shining in the sky-blue eyes.

It comes from both the waning moon in the sky and the vastness of its own magic.

She gently stopped the fawn from rushing towards the bottom of the sea, and—

Open the magic book.

"freeze."

A simple command, but it comes from a huge wish.

This overly arbitrary wish was fulfilled by the ice element and magic.

In an instant——
