Quadruple split

"Because there are so many idiots."

Although it was just an extremely simple rebuttal, these six words were so heart-piercing that Yu Shang and Wu Nian felt that it made so much sense, leaving them speechless.

Of course, from an objective point of view, Aramis's evaluation is absolutely subjective and one-sided. After all, every player has his own considerations. Not to mention those powerful players who have already completed the risk assessment and believe that they are capable of gaining wealth from danger, even those who go with the flow and are not firm followers should not be easily concluded as fools.

However, for a rotten person like Aramis who has not developed in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, the belief of being lenient to oneself and strict with others has probably been deeply rooted in his bones, so he made such sharp and harsh comments, and made his friends around him whose values ​​are not much different from his feel that there is some truth in them.

"Got it?"

Aramis shook his ears happily and said with a smile, "So that tricky secret realm will definitely not be broken through in a short time. It's obvious that it will be a protracted battle."

Porthos also nodded vigorously and agreed: "That's right, it won't be over for a while."

"Even so..."

The half-dragon girl simply exchanged a glance with the fairy on the highlander's shoulder, raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't it bad for the two of you to be away from the main group for a long time? I remember that during the [Confrontation Battle], everyone had a lot of opinions about you, whether it was because you didn't work hard to polish your characters or because you didn't participate in group battles in the name of the guild."

Porthos touched his nose, coughed lightly, and turned his gaze to Aramis: "What do you mean?"

"What? It's obvious."

Aramis raised his right hand and wiggled his index finger while speaking leisurely, "First of all, because of the events of Olathe War, we have only been in this game for a short time. And you have seen the results of the Guilty Battle. Even if Porthos and I were to rotate with the main team, we would not be able to help the team advance one more round."

Portos, whose mind was immediately enlightened by his companions, nodded vigorously and added, "That's right. Think about it, although there can be multiple groups of people taking turns in the team competition, the rewards are only five at most. In this case, we might as well team up with you and go it alone... Well, we were beaten even though we didn't get any results."

"Look at what you're saying. We were defeated by the champion team [Haunted Church]. Not shabby at all."

Wu Nian also chuckled and said repeatedly: "That's right—"

"Look at what you said, it's too polite."

Aramis raised his hand to pat the dragon lady's shoulder, but was slapped away by her tail. He then laughed awkwardly, "In short, although 'Typewriter' and 'Seventy-Six Clubs' are indeed the president and vice president of [Bath of Fire], the people in front of you are 'Aramis' and 'Porthos', so I don't think I should shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

Wu Nian chuckled and said sarcastically, "That's true, but I don't think you can get away with this kind of excuse that even a child can't fool."

"Hey, just let us take a break."

Porthos sighed and said with rare sincerity, "You two know that our [Bath of Fire] is not a profit-making organization with a clear organizational structure. Compared with those clubs and studios, it is more like a large-scale club or community. Neither Aramis nor I had ever thought that we would have such an influence today."

Yu Shang narrowed his eyes and asked with interest, "So how many people were there in the beginning of [Bath of Fire]?"

"In the beginning? In the beginning, we had to call in the wildlings when we were playing a five-player dungeon."

Porthos rolled his eyes and laughed dryly, "I don't know since when, there are more and more problem children in the guild. The biggest problem child next to me can't sit still. He always likes to do things that hurt others to benefit himself or hurt others without benefiting himself. Anyway, no matter what, he must hurt others. As a result, by the time we reacted..."

Wu Nian blinked: "What's wrong?"

Portos spread his hands and said innocently, "The guild has unknowingly grown to the point where it can cause trouble for those professional players."

Yu Shang chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "And then?"

"Then?"

Porthos glanced at the cat-man beside him, who was watching his nose, his mouth, and his heart, and said dryly, "Then, under the leadership of this idiot, we will intensify those activities that either harm others to benefit ourselves or harm others without benefiting ourselves. It should be said that everyone is having a lot of fun."

Yu Shang glanced at the innocent-looking cat-man thoughtfully: "It turns out you were having a lot of fun..."

"That's not the way it should be."

Aramis smiled shyly and said in a brisk tone, "As Porthos said, most of our guild members are 'problem children' from an objective perspective. As the person in charge of [Bath of Fire], whether I like it or not, I have to take on the responsibility of managing those bastards in most cases. Although it is not a very difficult job (Porthos: Yes, after all, you are the biggest bastard), even so, I would occasionally want a long and leisurely vacation."

Wu Nian looked down at the book in his hand that he used to kill time, "'Crime and Chemistry' Series: Arsenic Love Letters: A Romance of Death That Cannot Be Verified by Forensic Doctors," and said lazily, "But your friends seem to think that this kind of vacation is too luxurious for you."

"Then they don't deserve to be my friends anymore. They're no better than my big-hipped goblin."

After making a casual personal attack on the lady on Porthos's shoulder, Aramis glanced at the book in her hand with some curiosity: "By the way, what is this?"

Wu Nian, who had just been attacked, made a face and snorted, "I won't tell you."

"Oh, interesting woman."

Aramis sneered and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will kneel down and beg you?"

"You...you are so cruel!"

Considering that Aramis had a much better mentality than Han Xin and could make the butcher from Huaiyin fly into a spark, Wu Nian finally didn't dare to let him try. Instead, he said helplessly, "This is a book I've wanted to buy for a long time, but there has been no high-level translation outside the game. My English level is not good enough, so I never had a chance to buy it. As a result, the Green Apple Merchants in this game published a book that they claim to be a 'super literary and refined translation'. I tried reading the prologue and felt it was really good, so I bought it."

Porthos raised his hand curiously, took Wu Nian's book and took a look at it, and asked puzzledly: "So how is the translation of this thing?"

"Tsk tsk, a true master level."

The learned goblin smacked his lips and exclaimed, "To be honest, that translation level is even better than some of the national treasure-level translators I know."

Bodos, who knew very well that Wu Nian was a highly educated young woman, was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "WTF is she so powerful? What's the background of the Green Apple Chamber of Commerce?!"

"I don't know what their background is, but I'm not surprised that they can find a high-level translator."

Aramis snapped his fingers, glanced at his old friend with disdain, and reminded him, "Don't forget, our mother tongue is the most widely used 'common language' in the [Realm of Innocence] throughout the continent. Even the ancient common language before 2000 is actually just the ancient vernacular from the Han and Wei dynasties. English, which is also a world-class language outside the game, is based on the 'Elf language' in the game."

Porthos casually handed the book back to Wu Nian, scratched his hair and asked curiously: "So?"

"So is it possible that, since human translators have their limits..."

Hearing this, Yu Shang, who had already realized the problem, raised his lips slightly and reasoned, "Then let those writers who speak Elvish as their mother tongue but have lived for hundreds of years and have mastered the common language to perfection help translate that foreign book?"

Porthos: "...Fuck, can you play like this?!"

"That woman from the Green Apple Chamber of Commerce, I knew from the beginning that she was no ordinary person."

Aramis narrowed his eyes and murmured softly, "I wonder how Beibei is doing with them. If we can establish a relationship with those profiteers who can crush the Golden Baby, even if we have made no contribution in that secret realm, we can still gain an advantage after landing in the City of Innocence..."

Wu Nian chuckled and said happily, "You still care about [Bath of Fire] a lot, so what? You two really don't plan to go back?"

"How is it possible..."

Aramis shook his head and gave a rare bitter smile. He walked out of the alley and said, "We will all return sooner or later. It's just that we are a little reluctant to part with these two characters."

Putting on his hood again, Yu Shang followed Aramis with the other two and thought for a moment before asking curiously, "Does this mean that you and Porthos must die once and then retrieve your previous game IDs?"

"Yeah, after all, our Typing Warrior in [Bath of Fire] is a well-known brand. Don't look at me like this, I am a celebrity. If we had followed the original plan, we should have died in a corner after "finding out" this game. Who knew that this game would be so difficult to die."

Aramis turned his head and winked at Yu Shang, then quickened his pace and said without looking back: "Alright, let's get out of this damn place. Alas, we are so unlucky. If it weren't for the pitiful way that monkey was tortured, we would have to stay in Ankh for ten days or half a month to experience life in a big city."

“…”

After a brief silence, Wu Nian patted the back of Porthos's head and said with a subtle expression: "Although Aramis usually looks unreliable, he is still very responsible at critical moments."

"ah?"

Porthos was shocked and said in astonishment: "You believe it?!"

"ah?"

Wu Nian was also confused, and suddenly said: "Shouldn't I believe it?!"

"You don't trust him."

Porthos rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Is it possible that the bitch was bribed by the monkey we found and let her go?"

Wu Nian: “Eh?”

"You probably didn't see it."

Yu Shang beside him chuckled and pointed at the sneaky figure of the cat not far away: "Before Aramis let go of the pet monkey, the latter stuffed a deposit certificate of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce into his hand. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have been stolen from the place where it escaped."

Wu Nian: “?!”

"So..."

Yu Shang turned his gaze to Portos and asked, "You haven't joined up with the people from [Bath of Fire] yet. Is it really because of the wrong game ID?"

"Ha, how is that possible?"

Porthos sneered and spread his hands ostentatiously.

"Do you think we might be the kind of people who value our reputation?"

“It’s almost impossible.”

"That's right, we both just think the vacation is too short."

"I see."

…

Game time PM17:34

Lancelot, with flowing, acquired, and cold silver long hair, wearing a black heavy armor [Chaos Sorrow], and the only epic rune sword [Blade of the Soul] hanging on his waist, is tall and handsome. He is walking alone on the road with a gloomy face, and his black cloak [Cold Disaster] is fluttering behind him, looking so handsome and cool.

Of course, no matter how cool and handsome he is, Lancelot's mood at this moment is the opposite of his fashion sense, it can be said to be terrible to the freezing point.

The reasons are quite complicated. If we explain them in order from light to heavy,

First of all, he just became a freshman a month ago. Although he stood out among his peers due to his family background, good looks and athletic ability, and was admitted to the student union as an exception, he had to deliberately restrain his arrogance and violence in front of new classmates because he no longer had a "punching bag" to vent his emotions. He lived a very depressed life outside of games.

Secondly, he learned from a recent phone call that his sister had someone she liked. Although he did not have the forbidden feelings for his sister as described in many literary works, Lancelot, like countless brothers, younger brothers, and fathers, still felt extremely unhappy about this.

The third, and also very important point, is that his performance in the [Battle of Guilt] was far inferior to his ranking on the rankings, and he was ridiculed by quite a number of people. Although Ke Yi, who was killed twice in seconds, shared most of the firepower, Lancelot, whose psychological quality was totally incomparable to that of the fisherman, was still furious to the point of almost going crazy.

Finally, just now, he and his friends were attacked head-on by a very cute girl. Not only were all of them killed except Lancelot himself, but he also had to flee for a long time before he got rid of the other party a few minutes ago.

but--

[This is really like searching everywhere for something you can never find…]

Looking at the familiar figures not far away, Lancelot took a deep breath, and a bloodthirsty and cruel arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
