After crossing over, the plug-in is only your own chat group

“Haaa~ha~ah~…I can’t do it anymore, Boss. I can’t run any more.”

A member of the treasure-hunting group who was following behind Gao Muming and was bloated and carrying a shovel on his back, spoke breathlessly while supporting the rock wall with one hand and his waist with the other.

"Not only is Ayi unable to run, I am almost at my limit too. And even I can hardly run anymore. The group of Qianyan soldiers wearing armor and holding white tassel spears must have been left behind by us."

Lao Wan, who was the scout, was now holding his knees with both hands, his breathing a little confused.

"That's it."

After hearing Lao Wan's words, Gao Muming looked around the surroundings and then spoke to the other people.

"Let's fix it here first."

Following Gao Muming's instructions, several people skillfully found places to sit down and rest.

"By the way, Boss, what happened to you today? You're suddenly so fast at running, could it be that you've obtained the Eye of God?"

Xiao Zhu, who was slumped on the ground, looked at Gao Muming with excitement. After all, if Gao Muming, as the team leader, obtained the Eye of God, his team's combat effectiveness, survivability and ability to make money would be greatly improved.

Facing Xiao Zhu's gaze, Gao Muming showed a lonely expression on his face and shook his head.

"I haven't awakened the Eye of God, it's just that I have made some breakthroughs in my skills in the past two days."

"That's it."

A trace of disappointment appeared on Xiao Zhu's face, but then he raised his head and happily congratulated Gao Muming.

"I still want to congratulate you, Boss, on your improved Kung Fu."

"Thank you. You guys take a rest here. I'll go check around and find some food."

After giving an order, Gao Muming left nimbly.

Watching Gao Muming's back gradually disappearing into the dense forest, Xiao Cheng, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"By the way, I just joined our team and don't know the situation. What big thing did the boss do? The Qianyan Army that we met on the road just now was arresting other treasure-stealing teams. As soon as they saw the boss, they rushed towards us without saying a word."

Hearing Xiao Cheng's question, Xiao Zhu next to him also echoed it.

"Yes, yes, and I have been a member of our team for a year. Apart from exploring the secret realm, I have not done anything harmful. How come I have attracted the hatred of the Qianyan Army?"

Ayi, who was leaning on his shovel, also spoke at the right time.

"I'm not sure what you mean, but our team has been following this rule since I joined four years ago, so you've seen the results. Even though the boss is a skilled veteran who has been a member of the treasure thieves for more than a decade, our team is still sparsely populated."

As he spoke, Ayi turned his head to look at Lao Wan beside him and changed the subject.

"To be honest, when I first joined our team, I felt that the boss and you looked a little familiar. Then I remembered that it was more than seven years ago that I saw the wanted posters for the boss and you."

“Remember that not only the Qianyan Army, but also the bodyguards of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the people of the Wangsheng Hall were alarmed.”

"Now that you mention it, I have some impression of it. Seven years ago, there was indeed a large-scale mobilization of the Thousand Rock Army. At that time, there were rumors near my home that Liyue was going to eliminate the treasure-stealing group."

As soon as Lao Wan heard what Ayi and the others were talking about, he immediately became upset and buried his head in his hands.

When Xiao Cheng, who was standing by, saw Lao Wan's actions, his eyes lit up instantly and he sat down next to Lao Wan with an expectant look on his face.

"Looking at Lao Wan's expression, it seems that what happened back then was indeed related to you and the boss. Tell us in detail."

Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Lao Wan's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he spoke slowly with a slightly nostalgic tone.

"You all know our boss' personality. Even though we became a treasure-stealing group, we still don't want to do those things of robbing and pillaging. So our main source of income back then was the same as it is now, which was to go deep into various secret places and ruins to look for those treasures."

"But you also know that secret realms and ruins have many traps and dangers, and many ruins have been visited by predecessors, and often they work hard but gain nothing."

"Finally, after three consecutive months without any gains, the boss decided to change his strategy."

When Lao Wan said this, Xiao Zhu, who was listening on the side, interrupted Lao Wan with some confusion.

"But Lao Wan, our current life is no different from what you said."

"You are just impatient. I am just about to continue talking about this topic."

As Lao Wan spoke, his face was filled with memories.

"The boss at that time was holding the sunset fruit he had just picked and was in a daze. Then he slapped his thigh and looked at me excitedly."

"Old Wan, I have an idea to make money. Old Wan, what do you think we encounter most often every time we go to secret realms and ruins?"

"When I heard the boss's question, I thought, is there any need to think about it? The direct answer is of course the monster hillocks that are spread all over the world."

"The Hillbillies have nothing to do with my idea of ​​making money. We often find the bodies of people who died in vain in ruins and secret places."

"We in Liyue still have the custom of burying the dead, and this is the money-making idea I found. I thought that we could try to contact the Wangsheng Hall and have them create a new business - the 'Fallen Leaves Return to Roots Project'."

"I was totally confused at the time, wondering how could I get money for giving some advice to Wangsheng Hall?"

"The boss excitedly described his envisioned blueprint to me."

"This business is for families whose members are adventurers and have disappeared because of adventures. And they can use the excuse of preventing corpses from being contaminated by evil spirits and thus developing and causing plagues to allow the Wangsheng Hall to open this project."

"I asked out of curiosity at the time. Even if Wangshengtang opened this business as you said, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"When the boss heard my question, he told me with a smile."

“Once the Wangsheng Hall opens this business, even without relying on our Liyue people’s traditions, families with adventurers who have been missing will come to handle this business.”

"After all, if someone dies, this money will be used directly for funeral expenses. If they are just trapped in a dangerous place, they can post a mission in the Adventurer's Association and get rescued at a relatively low cost."

"Business will definitely be booming, but such a booming business has certain risks and will lead to a shortage of staff at the Wangsheng Hall."

"At this time, we who have been in the secret realm of the ruins for many years can reach a business cooperation with the Wangsheng Hall. We can spend a little bit of Mora to help them bring the corpse back."

"And the benefits of doing this are not just that Mora. In order to accurately bring back the target body, they will provide us with relevant information. This means that we can easily obtain the approximate locations of a large number of ruins and secret places in the future, and we don't have to waste time in the mountains to explore and find the locations of ruins and secret places."

"Bringing back the body is just a side job during our exploration of the secret realm and treasure hunting."

When Xiao Zhu heard this, he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"If we can really do it, not only can we get access to the secret realm discovered by the Adventurer's Association for free, but we can also make a fortune. But Wangsheng Hall doesn't seem to have this business."

After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Lao Wan nodded.

"The boss's idea is quite good, but unfortunately there were some deviations in the actual implementation."

"Although he wasn't targeted as much as he is now, the boss was already the focus of the Qianyan Army. It's okay for him to move around Liyue, but once he enters Liyue, there's no doubt that he will be imprisoned."

Xiao Cheng looked confused.

"Why is this?"

Lao Wan carefully looked around and confirmed that Gao Muming had not returned yet, then waved to a few people, signaling them to come closer. After the four of them were face to face, Lao Wan spoke mysteriously.

"Even though the boss doesn't admit it, I still heard some rumors. Don't let anyone know."

"I heard that the reason why the boss is getting so much attention is because he did something big, arresting Qixing's secretary Ganyu. When I asked the boss about it, he denied it vehemently, and even hit people when he got angry, so you guys just know it and don't say anything."

Xiao Zhu, Xiao Cheng and Ayi nodded repeatedly. In order to improve their survival ability, Gao Muming often practiced with them, so the three of them who knew that Gao Muming's fist was very hard said they understood.

"Let's talk about the plan to cooperate with Wangshengtang."

"The boss at that time was unable to go to the Wangsheng Hall in person, and I couldn't handle it on my own. I didn't know how to contact the old head of the Wangsheng Hall, and I was worried every day."

"Why don't you go to Wuwangpo?"

"Please, that place is the border between life and death, where all kinds of evil monsters and demons gather, and ghosts also appear. We are very brave when we have treasures, but we would not commit suicide to such an extent if we don't have treasures."

"Besides, instead of rushing around like a headless fly in the entire Wuwangpo, it is better to wait on the side of the road leading to Guiliji. After all, it is the only way to go."

"As for the letter you mentioned, I had originally planned to write one, but once I picked up the pen I realized that both of us were illiterate."

Hearing what Lao Wan said, Ayi on the side exclaimed.

"Huh? That's not right. The old man can write. He taught me how to write."

"It was after that that the boss felt that he couldn't continue to be illiterate, so he went to Xumi to study. It was a novel and interesting experience, but it's not what I want to talk about this time. Let's continue with the previous topic."

"Just when we were at our wits' end, a huge surprise appeared before us."

"A girl with plum blossom eyes, wearing the unique clothing of the Wangsheng Hall, came bounding towards the direction where we were hiding."

"After a while, the young Hu Tao, who is now the 77th head of Wangsheng Hall, came to us."

"The boss immediately showed a kind smile, jumped out from behind the bushes and stood in front of Little Walnut."

"Oh, I finally got in touch with the Wangsheng Hall."

“That’s what I thought at the time.”

"As a result, our eldest brother opened his mouth and said, 'You are Little Walnut, right? Please come with me for a moment. I have something to discuss with your grandfather.'"

"Can you imagine? A group of treasure hunters with scarves covering their faces stood in front of a little girl. How do you think the people around them would react?"

"Before anyone around could react, a very handsome boy rushed over."

"Later, I found out that the guy who was holding a sword but threw out a ball of gray powder when he raised his hand was the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

"At that time, looking at the oncoming dust, the leader who had fought with the Guhua sect many times naturally waved his sleeves, and the wind he created blew away the dust."

"The young Xingqiu took advantage of the boss's movements and quickly came in front of the boss, swinging his sword with the water element as fast as a tiger. The boss dodged the continuous sword moves very easily."

"He held the sword but started with a gray powder. This sword move has a lot of influence from the Guhua School. You are better than many Guhua School masters. The boss praised him and took on Xingqiu's attack with his bare hands. Then he pushed back with both hands. Xingqiu, who was still a child, was pushed forward by the force. Then the boss knocked him down very easily with a knife."

"While they were fighting for a while, the Qianyan Army on duty not far away discovered us."

"We didn't know what we were thinking at the time. As we ran, we grabbed Hu Tao, who was still in a state of panic, and Xing Qiu, who had fainted, into our arms."

"Because the incident happened too suddenly, the boss was still thinking about his expected cooperation with Wangsheng Hall when he ran away, so he shouted to the Qianyan Army chasing us, 'I have something to discuss with Master Hu of Wangsheng Hall, let him come to see me alone.'"

"At that time, the Qianyan Army chasing us asked us to let go of Hu Tao and Xing Qiu."

"We didn't let go. At first I thought the boss wanted to take the hostages with him to scare them away. But after we shook off the Qianyan Army that was pursuing us, the boss was a little surprised to find that he had brought Hu Tao and Xing Qiu with him as well."

"After that, the eldest brother asked me to hide alone in a safe place in the suburbs. He sent the two children back, and we separated."

"Then the result of the matter, you know what happened to the boss again. During that period, we were hunted down quite intensively. The plan to cooperate with Wangshengtang also came to nothing in the end."

"Although I felt a little sorry at the time, I didn't take it too seriously. It was just something I thought of on the spur of the moment."

"But then the boss thought that even if we reached a cooperation with Wangsheng Hall, there would still be a problem in front of us, that is, we ourselves are not very public, so the initial idea was to communicate through letters. But it turned out that both of us are illiterate, and I am afraid that we will not be able to understand the contents of the letters at that time."

"So the boss took me to start learning. I joined the treasure-stealing group because I was poor and uneducated, and my physical fitness was not good enough, so no one wanted me to do anything. But joining the treasure-stealing group gave me the opportunity to learn. Life is really amazing sometimes."

Xiao Cheng, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke.

"So that's why you went to Xumi for a while."
