This simplification is outrageous

Chapter 5: Two Ways to Cross the Bridge

A ring edge position.

The modern steel bridge is looming in the strange mist, and the water vapor in the river below is thick, as if covered with a thin layer of veil.

The entire road was empty, let alone vehicles.

The silence and darkness made this place seem extraordinarily cold and eerie.

At the entrance, there was already a group of awakened people waiting.

Or squat, or stand, or stare...

Silently counting the time in my heart, waiting for the qualification to be issued.

As long as you enter there, you will have the opportunity to meet the city lord.

There is even a chance to be appreciated by the city lord, so as to get its reward!

The collection of the city lord in the first ring is definitely not comparable to the "garbage" in the second ring. This can be known from the mouths of awakened people who have obtained treasures in the past.

Therefore, their purpose is very pure, and they are going for Yihuan.

"..."

"According to the time, it should be almost here, but I don't know what kind of test it will be this time, I hope it won't be too difficult!" A masked awakened person stretched his muscles and bones and said.

The person next to him had a serious expression on his face: "I remember that I also crossed the river last time, but that time there was no bridge, and we were asked to cross the river by ourselves. As a result, a large group of strange spirits were hiding inside, and many people died."

"I went there last time too, and it left a shadow on me. I dare not cross the river in my life, but this time there is a bridge...it shouldn't be too outrageous."

"It's hard to say, anyway, the test is getting harder every time."

"..."

As more and more people gathered, many of them were former acquaintances in the third ring road.

The seventh-level proud man was different, standing at the front with his hands folded, his body like a rainbow, and his cold eyes staring at the bridge.

Wearing a night suit and looking unstable, the fake Qijie sat cross-legged on a stone pier, wrapped in evil black mist, and no one dared to approach him within ten meters around him.

There is also the muscular man with bronze glow all over his body, the fat man who looks at everyone with a smile on his face, and the awakened man with three heads and six arms.

And... chatting with the crowd, the awakened person who was called Qiao Yuan's father before.

Not long after, Qiao Yuan, who was wearing a limited edition suit, also came here.

Did not cause much fluctuation.

The time is just right!

……

"Huh? Why are there so few people this time? I remember that in the third ring, there were at least 50 or [-] people who entered the second ring before me." A bald awakened person who had just arrived asked a question.

The number of people at the scene is obviously not right.

There are only more than 30 people at full count.

"No one else can come."

"What do you mean?"

"What's the point? They're all dead. There's not even a slag left in the fire." In the mist, the businessman came with a bulging backpack on his back.

At this moment, an awakened person wearing a grimace slowly stepped forward, looking at the merchant's backpack.

"Friend, can you tell me in detail?"

"Three self-righteous masters provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, plus a group of idiots who were dazzled by secret treasures, and they were wiped out in one move."

"..."

The businessman recounted the scene at that time.

Immediately, everyone was surprised at the scene.

Those who can enter the second ring are all outstanding people, except for a very few lucky ones, the lowest is the fifth rank, and they are still solved by one trick?

brag!

"who's that person?"

"Why should I answer you?"

"..."

The man with the grimace was not annoyed, but slowly approached the businessman, as if he was touching the businessman's backpack inadvertently.

Out of the corner of the businessman's eyes, he caught sight of it and dodged sideways.

"What do you want?"

"It's nothing, just looking at your backpack...it must be a good harvest, show it to the big guys, it will open your eyes?" The grimace man said very casually, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

With just one sentence, everyone focused on the merchant's backpack.

Everyone present also has their own gains, but they understand a truth, the wealth should not be exposed.

With such drums inside, it seems that I have gained a lot.

If they are all ordinary goods, then forget it.

But if you really want him to find something good that makes his heart flutter, and expose it to everyone, it's okay to grab it.

The awakened people around had such a thought in their hearts.

"Listen to what you said, if I don't let you see it, I won't be able to leave here today?" The businessman said in a very calm tone, he glanced at the eyes of the people around him, and finally stopped on the grimace man.

"That depends on whether the things in you are worth my shot." The grimace man's tone became unfriendly.

"..."

Vice city rules.

Everything speaks with strength!

Since you dare to leak money, you must take the risk of being robbed unless you prove your strength!

"..."

In the distance, Qiao Yuan shook his head again and again. This place is really chaotic. You can grab something if you like it. But the grimace man obviously picked the wrong persimmon. The strength of the merchant is at the sixth level, which is about the same as the three he killed. .

Can be regarded as a master!

Except for the seventh level, there are not many people on the scene who can beat him.

The situation on the scene became tense because of this episode.

The two seventh-orders also looked at the two with great interest.

It's like watching a monkey show.

……

"Here we come!" Suddenly, someone whispered.

Everyone looked at him, holding their breath and becoming tense.

At the end of the bridge, a vague figure walked slowly.

The speed seemed to be very slow, but after a few seconds, it was already approaching, and only then did everyone see clearly that it was not someone.

A shriveled corpse with skin like old tree roots, sunken eye sockets and empty pupils.

It is a very powerful alien spirit!

Wherever the corpse passed, all the awakened people around gave way and bowed their heads.

Soon, the corpse moved forward and came directly in front of the merchant.

The two who were about to fight also stopped at this moment.

"The city lord sees you!" The corpse said coldly with a hoarse voice.

Tightening his backpack, the businessman's expression suddenly became serious.

"Dare to ask what the city lord wants me to do?"

He is different from other people who desperately want to see the city lord, he just regards this sinful city as a copy of the game.

And he is the businessman among them!

Every time Vice City opens, he will use his own experience to quickly find the opening location, then find out the city layout, then go into it to investigate, remake it into a treasure map, and then sell it to others.

The explorer of flowing water, the middleman of iron, it is he who is talking about!

Merchants never participate in frontal battles, and only take the opportunity to sell their maps at a high price.

"..."

"Every time you make a treasure map, the city lord reads it and appreciates you. From today onwards, you can freely enter Sin City. From now on, you can decide where to place the secret treasures in the second ring and arrange the guardians. .” The withered corpse pointed to the sky.

Everyone at the scene widened their eyes and gasped.

At this moment, even the seventh-level awakened person was moved.

What a privilege!

Not to mention other awakened ones.

What are they here for?Just to find the secret treasure!

If this place is compared to a game, the city lord is the emperor in the game, and it's nothing more than the qualification to enter at any time.

Now he actually handed over the design of the dungeon in the second ring to the other party!

This is one step to the sky!

It's fat difference!

In an instant, everyone thought of a lot, and began to look at this businessman differently.

"My friend, I'm sorry, I was impulsive, I apologize..."

The grimace man bent over to apologize, and left the scene decisively.

Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and he understands the status of this awakened person from now on.

"..."

……

"Sorry, I refuse." The businessman took a deep breath and said.

what!

There was an uproar!

He actually turned down this lucrative job!

This is the dungeon designer, and he will be prosperous from now on.

"I'm so pissed off, I can't wait to have this opportunity!"

"It would be great if it was me..."

"The opportunity is in front of you, if you don't cherish it, it is his blessing to be valued by the city lord in his previous life..."

"..."

The rest of them stamped their feet and beat their chests, and the sound of crunching teeth was clearly audible.

"Then you will never be able to enter." The corpse said coldly.

If the city lord has something to say, either join or ban the other party from entering forever.

Vice City does not allow such people to exist.

"Well, I quit."

The businessman backed away without the slightest hesitation.

"..."
