Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Chapter 40 "Brave Kim"

"In short...you are from the Bennett family."

Yang Qiu pointed at the man who made the complaint, paused, and then pointed at the fat man with a gloomy expression, "And you are members of the Eugene family."

Yang Qiu seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "When it comes to the surname Eugene, I think of someone. When I passed by Camerle last time, there was a little girl named Rebecca Eugene who impressed me deeply. gold."

The fat man's face changed: "This... this is my great-grandmother's name."

"Oh, what a coincidence." Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Rebecca has fulfilled her wish."

The fat man of Eugene's family froze immediately.

The two men in the Bennett family also looked strange...

"It seems that a lot of stories have happened in this small town." Yang Qiu didn't mean to delve into it. He sat back on the sofa and waved his hand to lift the restrictions on these people. "Sit down, gentlemen."

The three men looked at each other, moved their hands and feet, and each pulled up a chair and sat down... Not to mention Yang Qiu sitting on the sofa, and the guy lying on the other side of the sofa with bloody hands below the elbows, they didn't have the courage to go over .

"I'll just say it straight, I need to take in a group of people who have a hard life in the local area and have nothing but their lives." Yang Qiu said bluntly, "Your family is in charge of the local Weaver Union, where can you find such people? You should know best."

The three men from two families couldn't help being stunned.

"Mr. Yang, I don't quite understand what you mean..." The man in the Bennet family summoned up his courage to speak, "If possible, can you explain in more detail?"

"Then let me put it another way..." Yang Qiu said even more bluntly, "I know better than you what is going on with the Weavers' Guild in Kamer. It is said that the steam ship of the Kenyan Empire conquered the Endless Sea 400 years ago. After the cotton seeds were brought back from the Outer Continent, these 'man-eating' cotton seeds were brought to Shiga Principality by the caravan."

"The gentlemen of Cameron thought this was an excellent opportunity to increase their wealth and stabilize their family status. They used various means to seize the land of the freemen, gather them to grow cotton, and put the farmers I rushed into my own plantation to work as a cotton farmer. After all, cotton is not as easy to depreciate as grain. After a year or so, it will become old grain, worms, rot, mold, and cannot be sold at a good price.”

"But soon, the gentlemen discovered that it is not cost-effective to turn all the farmers into cotton farmers. Except for the picking period, there are not so many farmers in the cotton fields. So they came up with a solution to the problem—they and the cotton farmers The more docile people cooperated and instructed these people to lead the mud-legs to protest and demand the so-called freedom. All cotton farmers, give them the status of freedmen."

"The family leading the 'protest' naturally set up a labor union to 'unite' the free folk who were scattered like sand, and negotiate with the gentlemen..."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiu couldn't help laughing: "In short... at the end of this farce, the free folk won. Not only did they obtain the status of free townspeople, but they also 'forced' the gentlemen to back down and pay Money hires them to work, turning them from traditional farmers in the Shiga Principality into craftsmen with easier work and higher status."

Whether it was the fat man from Eugene's family or the two men from the Bantett family, they were all sweating profusely...

And those thugs who have not been released from the confinement and are still standing still can't move, their faces are full of astonishment...

"The last time I came to Cameron, there was only one Weaver Guild, which belonged to Rebecca Eugene's husband. This time, the Weaver Guild was divided into two, and there was another Bennett that I had never heard of. .It seems that the competition within the Orito Labor Union has been quite fierce these years."

Yang Qiu smiled and said: "The gentlemen who really rode on the heads of the locals in Camol to pull SHI are hidden behind the scenes, and you gang leaders who can eat meat... Sorry, the union boss has become the most hated in Camol 'Reactionaries', then there must be many people who are ignorant and have offended you, so leave these people to me, this is what I mean, is it clear enough?"

Half an hour later, Descartes Eugene, whose hands were bloody and bloody, was wrapped in a cloak and sent back to Eugene's mansion by loyal thugs.

Yang Qiu was right. The weaving household union in Cameron was indeed similar in nature to the British gangsters after World War I, and it belonged to a "local family business".

Of course, compared to the British gangsters, the life of the head of the Weaving House labor union is a little easier. They don't need to compete with other gangs for real territory, and they don't have to worry about being stabbed by a gypsy...as long as their family is big enough , There are enough adult males in the family. In the early stage, they fought bravely to grab the control of the trade union, and later they were able to accept younger brothers to do things, and they didn't have much use for themselves.

The risk is less, but the income is not necessarily worse than that of the British gangsters. The tens of thousands of weavers in the town and the workers employed in various cotton plantations have to pay them for their jobs; because they "control the bottom" For meritorious service, those truly respectable people in the town will give them some rewards from time to time...

Since the great-grandmother Rebecca Eugene killed her husband a hundred years ago and led her brothers and uncles to seize control of the union, the Eugene family has been doing well.

Although the Bennett family who "rebelled" with Rebecca at the time took away many union members at the time to start a new business and split nearly half of the income, it was enough for the Eugene family to continue to grow in the past hundred years. , not only built houses that are not inferior to those decent people on Main Street, but also operated industries such as taverns, casinos, and racetracks.

This kind of family that can be called a local hegemony, the backbone of the young generation, Descartes, was crippled when he came back from negotiating, which would naturally arouse great indignation from the Eugene family.

When Descartes' cousin, Fatty Harvey, ran home wiping cold sweat, he saw the women in the family crying together, and the uncles and brothers were angrily summoning their men to attack Bennett's house.

"Stop it all! Stop it all!" Fat Harvey was so frightened that he hurriedly asked his confidant Mazi to close the main door of the mansion, and he rushed up and hugged the excited uncle, "It's not the Bennett family. Do it, believe me! We negotiated in our family's casino, all our people! The Bennetts can't do it!"

"Harvey! What's going on!" The angry uncle threw off the fat Harvey and reprimanded loudly, "You are with Descartes, how could you let Descartes do this!"

Fatty Harvey said tremblingly: "Uncle, do you still remember the black magician Yang that your great-grandmother mentioned?"

The emotional uncle shouted: "What black magician?!"

"Black Mage Yang, Nightmare Butcher!" Fatty Harvey said loudly, "When I was young, there was a notice for his arrest on the sheriff's bulletin board, with a reward of [-] gold coins!"

The noisy men and the crying women fell silent for a moment.

"Great-grandmother once pointed to the wanted notice on the bulletin board and told me that she had seen this black mage when she was young." Fat Harvey gasped and said grimly, "This black mage who is wanted by many countries The last time I came to Carmel, I invaded Sir Hans' mansion, and in front of the Sir's family and many guests at the reception, hammered off the Sir's hands and feet, kidnapped the mayor's youngest son, and hung the young master on the city wall After drying for three days, I also drove a baron naked into the street, and forced the baron to run wildly all over the town on horseback - the great-grandmother said that it was because this black magician tossed the decent people in the main street She will have the opportunity to win the union for the Eugene family only if she is disgraced!"

Life in the small town is quite boring, and any rare rumors can be passed down orally for many years. The old people will remember it for a lifetime.

Descartes' father and fat Harvey's uncle, of course, has also heard these legendary stories. The contemporary patriarch of the Eugene family, who lost his mind because of his son's disability, was shocked by Harvey's words. In a cold sweat, he said in astonishment: "You said this—wait a minute! What do you mean when you say that the black magician came to Camor 'last time'?!"

Fatty Harvey swallowed, and said tremblingly, "Jimmy of the Bennett family wanted to force our family to give up the casino on East Street with the matter of his sister. When we were arguing, this, this black magician suddenly Appeared... on the grounds that 'he can't tolerate the violation of teenagers and girls', Descartes was abolished by himself..."

Everyone in Eugene's house was stunned.

"Goddess of Prosperity!" Descartes' mother and Fatty Harvey's aunt pressed her hands on her chest, screaming in confusion, "Didn't the Nightmare Butcher only target those people on the main street? Why did he target our Descartes?" So cruel?!"

Descartes' wife couldn't help but said, "Obviously the cousin of the Bennett family seduced Descartes, why should Descartes be unlucky!"

"That's right!" Another woman from Eugene's family said, "That bastard can't control his nepotism, so what does it matter to others?"

"Enough!" The head of Eugene's family stopped the women, and grabbed the fat man's arm in cold sweat, "Tell me, Harvey, what the hell is this black magician trying to do?!"

Harvey hurriedly stated Yang Qiu's request... Of course, he consciously avoided the origin of the disgraceful industry of the Weaving House Labor Union.

"He only gave us five hours to choose someone as soon as possible." Harvey swallowed and said nervously, "If we can't provide him with a satisfactory number...he claimed that our family and Bannai will be taken away." Take all the members of the Te family away!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still angry at what happened to Descartes before shuddered.

"Give it to him! Find someone to give it to him!" Harvey's aunt immediately screamed at her husband, "Hurry up and send this plague god away!"

"Pay attention to your wording!" Patriarch Eugene roared angrily.

In a small town in the eastern border like Camor, you can only see a magician on the way every few years or more than ten years.

Most of these magicians don't have much to do with the locals, only a few of them chat with the locals, drink, talk about their travels, rest for a day or two to replenish food and water, and then leave.

Of course, it is not uncommon for people like the black magician Yang to be dissatisfied with some unfair incidents and take action... But most of them just teach bullies a lesson and give some loose change to the poor and suffering.

Like Yang, who tossed the whole town upside down and frightened the respectable people in the main street. There is no one before, and no one to come again... so that decades later, the black magician Yang gained the title of "Nightmare Butcher" and was recognized by many countries. When wanted, his wanted notice hung on the sheriff's bulletin board for many years.

As for the rumors about this nightmare butcher, until the old grandmother of Eugene's family died, people in the town still talked about it... For example, the merchant who collected cotton cloth brought it over, he dragged a certain cardinal from the Church of the Sun Scary rumors of mating with bears in the public square, and hammering a certain prince, etc., were widely circulated at that time.

In short... It is confirmed that this one is indeed the "Nightmare Butcher". A local gangster family like the Eugene family can't bear the slightest resistance. Or Zhuang Laoli has almost died and only orphans and old people are left, and all of Orihu are forcibly summoned...

And when the Eugene family and the Bennett family were sweating profusely pulling people around, the culprit of all, the black magician Yang who was hated and feared, appeared in Camol's "first benevolent", stronger than the mayor. The home of Viscount Lynn who has the right to speak.

He first found a newspaper boy to send him a greeting card very formally and carefully, and then came to the door half an hour later. He still didn't forget to bring a gift to the Viscount's family, which was very in line with the rules of the world's nobles. I don't take the liberty of it.

As for how the contemporary Viscount Lynn would feel after receiving the invitation... Yang Qiu didn't care.

In short, when he came to the door, Viscount Lynn politely took his wife to receive him personally, and prepared a whole pot of sweet tea that magicians prefer.

Hmm... It's tea made from dried petals and sugar. The dried petals are mainly roses and chrysanthemums.

Viscount Lynn's mansion, the reception room built in the garden with high-purity glass walls, Yang Qiu put down his teacup, smiled and nodded to the Viscount's family: "When I came last time, the owner here was still Clover. Z Lynn, when I come back, I can only see this old friend in oil paintings, which really makes people sigh how time flies."

"I'm glad you still remember my great-grandfather." Viscount Lin En's decent smile showed a little sentimentality, his every move was very elegant and relaxed, and it was not at all obvious that he was actually panicked...

Viscount Lynn's wife, a lady with a good background and a good family education, also smiled and nodded slightly, as if she was very grateful to Yang Qiu for remembering their elders.

Since they pretended so well, Yang Qiu acted as if he didn't notice the couple's nervousness at all, and after exchanging a few innocuous pleasantries, he said, "I'm here this time to take away some people who are struggling to make a living in the town. Poor man. After I leave, people from the Lieyang Church Tribunal should come to hear the news. At that time, the Viscount don't have to make trouble, just tell them my whereabouts."

Viscount Lynn's face froze, his decent mask almost couldn't hold back: "This, this...Mr. Yang?"

"Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to test you." Yang Qiu smiled and waved his hands, "I've been entangled with these lunatics for many years, and I'm already tired of it. It's time to end the matter."

Lin En and his wife bowed their heads and drank tea at the same time... The man in front of him actually called others a lunatic frankly.

"Besides, I hope that the Viscount will inform me of my whereabouts until five days after I left." Yang Qiu smiled and said, "The poor man I took away must be settled first."

"Uh...um." Viscount Lin En couldn't answer directly, and didn't dare to refuse, so he had to deal with it vaguely.

"If so, I won't bother you." Yang Qiu picked up the staff on the table, stood up, and nodded slightly, "I hope the two young masters will like the gift I brought."

Lin En and his wife hurriedly got up to see them off...

They sent the plague god away very politely and politely. As soon as the door was closed, the most respectable couple in Carmel Town ran frantically to the entertainment room where their son stayed.

"Polly! Throw that thing away--ah!"

Seeing that their son had already torn apart the gift from Yang Qiu and was playing curiously with something weird, the couple's legs went limp.

"Goddess of Prosperity! Polly, how can you dismantle what the evil black magician gave you!" Mrs. Lynn rushed in and wanted to snatch the toy.

"No, Mom, this is my gift." Polly hurriedly escaped with the toy in his arms.

"Listen to me, baby, give it to me, and mom will buy you a better one." Mrs. Lynn was in a hurry.

The child must not be able to resist the adults. Under the "siege" of the couple and the maid, the toy was taken away after a while, and the child was so angry that he burst into tears.

Lynn and his wife didn't care about coaxing their children, and ordered the servants to take the toys and burn them, and asked the servants to watch over their sons, so they hurriedly changed their clothes and went out to discuss with other families how to deal with the catastrophe in Camol... …

The souvenir that Yang Qiu brought was a Transformer Autobot produced by the Huaxia Toy Foundry Factory and suspected of plagiarizing Transformers. The servant was reluctant to burn it, so he secretly hid it...

Yang Qiu, who just goes to other people's house to drink tea and makes them feel like an enemy, has no sense of calamity at all. When he leaves the Viscount's house, he uses the branding matrix to create a black-box operation trigger for Ji Tang who is online. Task……

Ji Tang has just finished the mission of Warrior [-], and is going to the town hall to hand in the mission and accept the "baptism".

Along with him are two little friends, Yang Ying and Tang Jia.

Girls are more keen on playing games, and a few days earlier than Ji Tang, Yang Ying and Tang Jia, who have completed the transfer of friendship, accompanied Ji Tang throughout the mission, which saved him a lot of trouble - the transfer of fighters is better than that of the legal system , Walker, and Knight are all simple, just form a team to participate in the spider lair to spawn monsters, get [-] spider poison sacs and turn them in.

While the three of them were jogging, exchanging details on how to farm spider monsters in melee combat (in fact, it was mainly Ji Tang who taught the two girls), a zombie NPC who was quietly squatting on the side of the road and usually did not send tasks to players, suddenly He raised his rotting arm to greet them.

The three of them immediately stopped and looked at the zombie NPC at the same time—only NPCs who can issue tasks will strike up a conversation when the player approaches.

The zombie NPC named "Hugh Potter" on the top of his head slowly raised his head, his gray eyes resting on Ji Tang: "Hey, compatriots, I have wanted to say a few words to you for a long time, your temperament always makes me feel like I'm not here!" I think of someone."

"Hidden mission—!" Tang Jia yelled with her trademark loud voice, which made Ji Tang and Yang Ying couldn't help but move away from her, and excitedly pulled Ji Tang's arm towards her. Push forward, "Quickly interact with it and take over the task!"

Ji Tang slapped her paw away helplessly, and stood in front of the zombie NPC.

The skeletons controlled by the players can run around the streets, and it seems that it is not uncommon for zombie NPCs to be able to talk and move... Anyway, Ji Tang is young, and before joining the army, he was also a normal young man born in the [-]s, and his receptivity is quite strong: " Hello, Hugh, who do you think of?"

The zombie NPC was silent for a while, and when Ji Tang wondered if he had misunderstood the key words, it uttered again: "His name is... Jin, we call him Brave Jin, he is a Camor, and he likes to sing very much." . . . when we served together in the Border Guard, he kept talking about his hometown..."

Ji Tang hadn't finished listening to the slow-speaking zombie NPC when his mission panel popped up:

"When you passed the third block as usual, Hugh Potter stopped you."

"Trigger the hidden mission "Brave Gold", do you want to accept it?"

"This task is a prerequisite for the dynamic plot task, please consider it carefully."

"Sure enough, it's a hidden mission, and it can also activate the dynamic plot mission." Ji Tang happily told the two friends what was displayed on the panel, and quickly accepted the mission.

Just like when I received the breakthrough task when I took the medicine, Ji Tang's task panel immediately refreshed a "Sub-quest" sub-section, and the "Brave Gold" task appeared in the sub-column.

Ji Tang took over the task, and the zombie Hugh Porter's speech speed became slightly faster: "Jin is a brave and smart person, and he can always easily solve troubles that others cannot handle. But we call him "Brave Kim", he didn't look very happy, just smiled wryly."

"Then one day, we drank some rum together on vacation, and Kim finally told us why..."

"In his hometown of Camerle, something happened that made him extremely resentful but powerless. Their ancestral land was taken away, but the person who took away their land turned into a great benevolent person who gave people work and food. .”

"When Jin was born, the elders of his family didn't even know where the land that used to belong to their family was."

"His mother sat in a dark room all year round weaving, her hands were full of wounds, her eyesight was getting worse and worse, and his sisters had to learn how to spin and weave when they were six or seven years old. The trajectory of life Not any different from his mother."

"Boys like Kim, fighting and arguing over who gets to plant cotton in what used to be their fields..."

Although it was just a "plot" from the mouth of the NPC, the three players frowned upon hearing such content.

The chattering Hugh Porter dialogue was not over yet, he sighed a long time and then said: "A year before we came to Tarantan, Kim asked for leave and went back to his hometown. Before leaving, Kim told me privately that he would Persuading his family to leave Camor Town, even to join the Pioneering Corps, is more hopeful than staying there."

"After that, I never saw Kim again."
