Soul echo

Chapter 207 Before Action

——Originally, he didn't intend to activate this plan so soon.

Zhong Ye was sitting in the lobby of the Adventurer's House, chatting with other adventurers.

The handsome appearance is pleasing to the eye, the tall and strong body is full of security, coupled with the unique gentle temperament, Zhong Ye has become a favorite in the eyes of female adventurers.

Because of [Affinity Physique], male adventurers will not be hostile to him, and because he talks well, he can put forward his own unique suggestions and opinions on many topics, except that it is not good to not drink or smoke. , is simply a perfect 'friend'.

It only took Zhong Ye one morning to get acquainted with the adventurers who lived in the Adventurer's House in Lyon.

When Lilian logged into the game, she was surprised to see Zhong Ye mixed with a large group of adventurers, bragging and beating each other.

But maybe only she knows that the bragging of other adventurers may be real bragging, but the battles described in Zhong Ye's mouth are all his own experience.

Lilian sat by the side and listened quietly for a while before getting up to leave.

Now she was going to hang out, because they still didn't know where the hallucinogen dealers in this city were. The Church of the Sun could only provide them with an approximate location, and the real information still needed to be obtained from the mouths of those adventurers.

After all, to be able to sell hallucinogens in this city that is doing everything possible to crack down on the hallucinogen business, those hallucinogen dealers must have been caught by the Church of the Sun long ago if they were not so quick-witted.

However, no matter how good they are at hiding, they are still not good enough in front of the two official institutions, the lord and the church. Once the nobles and the church join forces to conduct a carpet search at any cost, the group of hallucinogen dealers will be exposed sooner or later.

A girl in a leather jacket, a felt hat, and riding boots strolled on the street, looking around curiously.

Lyon is a big city, the second largest city among all the cities Lilian has seen in "Echo of Soul".

On the street, she can see not only the bustling ordinary humans, but also dwarves and winged people.

Those demihumans with wings growing from their backs are said to be more closely related to elves, after all, both races are born with supernatural abilities.

According to legend, Wingman evolved from some primitive elves who yearned for the sky. In order to be able to fly in the sky, they used their natural superpowers to allow themselves and their descendants to evolve bird-like wings, and even their bones become hollow.

Because flying requires well-developed muscles, the muscle density of Wingman is much higher than that of humans and elves, almost equal to that of dwarves. At the same time, it needs to consume huge energy to activate these well-developed muscles, which leads Every Yiren is a big eater, and the food is digested very quickly.

However, because their digestive system is more complex than that of birds, the sphincter muscle that has evolved over a long period of time has not degenerated, and they will not excrete or excrete anywhere.

Wingmen are far more optimistic and cheerful than their arrogant distant relatives. At least in human cities, Wingmen can be seen, but elves are hardly seen.

"Borrow it! Borrow it!"

A sharp and thin cry came from beside her, Lilian turned her head to look, but saw nothing, then her gaze slipped, and she moved away with a smile.

An upright cat with much thicker limbs than ordinary cats passed Lilian with a bag in its arms. It kept making shrill cat-meowing sounds, squeezed into the crowd, and disappeared in front of the girl.

That is the 'cat people', a race created by an unknown ancient wizard.

In order to allow them to gain wisdom and the ability to walk upright, wizards had to deprive many cats of their own abilities, resulting in cats being born weak and not very fertile.

As a 'failed' creation, the cat-man should have been destroyed, but before the ancient wizard had time to destroy the cat-man, he was killed by the earth mother who realized that he was playing with life, and the cat-man was saved.

Because of their cute appearance and more flexible and vigorous posture compared to humans, and they can also catch mice, cat people are often hired by pharmacies, mages, and restaurants. Lucky and smart cat people can also be accepted as apprentices by mages.

However, cat people are generally quite weak and can only be attached to humans. Compared with intelligent races, they are more like a special pet.

"Wow! Look, Leto, it's an angel!"

In this "harmonious" noise, there are still some noises mixed in.

Lilian looked in the direction of the sound and saw two teenagers standing behind the crowd. They were all very excited and pointed around.

Those were new players who had just entered the game. Judging by their excited looks, they definitely had played "Echo of Soul" for less than three hours. Players who had played for three hours would never show such an excited look.

Fortunately, the player's behavior will be automatically rationalized in the eyes of the 'natives', otherwise the new influx of players will definitely make this game a mess.

Only then did Lilian realize that "Echo of Soul" had gone out of the circle, and its popularity had greatly increased. The whole society was paying attention to every move of Mirage Company, and by the way, "Echo of Soul".

Game studios and clubs came here upon hearing the news, and because of the existence of the 'accelerated learning system', a large number of new players joined the game.

This time, I don’t know how many people will be dissuaded by the difficulty of the game of "Echo of Soul", but according to the speculation of the players who are graduate students of the Department of Mathematics in reality, the number of players of "Echo of Soul" may increase by 30 to 50 at one time .

Such a huge number of new players will bring great changes to "Echo of Soul", and it is not known whether this change is good or bad.

Most of the former players were single-handedly, and at most they only formed a small team. After all, the map of "Echo of Soul" is so big, and 10 people are scattered in various places on this map, so it is very difficult to gather together.

But as the number of players increases, guild gameplay and battle group gameplay will also appear—this game has a high degree of freedom, almost a replica of reality.

Lilian didn't know how much change the new players could bring to the game, but she knew that she might be able to use those new players to find the location of the hallucinogen dealers so as not to expose herself to the hallucinogen dealers' sight .

But now is not the time, she can't contact other players.

In Lyon, hallucinogen dealers dare not be so arrogant, and there is not much eyeliner, but she wants to be on the safe side.

——This was Zhong Ye's first action after agreeing with her ability and allowing her to act alone!
Lilian carefully recalled how Zhong Ye hid his whereabouts in the crowd so as not to attract others' attention.

Afterwards, she took her attention away from those players, and her muscles relaxed. Like an adventurer, she pressed her left hand on the hilt of her sword and looked around casually.

I went to a shop specializing in wingman feather combs and wing-lifting vests, looked around curiously, and then went into the nearby pharmacy to replenish the herbs and potions consumed during the trip.

At this moment, Lilian was like an ordinary adventurer, completely blending into the background. Even if she passed by some people who looked like players, they didn't recognize her identity.

At first, the audience didn't realize how powerful she was, and they didn't realize it until someone explained it.

When he was tired from walking, he sat on the side of the street and watched the crowd come and go in front of his eyes. One player after another passed in front of him, but he didn't find Lilian.

She didn't speak, didn't interact with the audience, and she wasn't even moved when she saw several players being robbed of their purses by the 'three hands' one after another.

But the audience was still shocked by this superb stealth skill, and discussed whether Lilian could use this skill in reality, and then extended to the fact that if this dangerous technology can be reproduced in reality, it will What impact will it have on society.

Lilian stood up with a yawn and continued to purchase supplies.

After a while, she counted the time and felt that Zhong Ye should have gotten the words out of the adventurers' mouths, so she turned and walked towards the adventurers' home.

Next, it was time for her to watch the hallucinogen dealers.

Of course, in the name of 'mission completion'!

——There are many trivial and trivial tasks posted on the task bar of the Adventurer's House. This is probably a measure to allow new players to adapt to the game faster, but now it has become a good excuse to cover her actions.

As I said before, the degree of freedom in "Echo of Soul" is very high!
