Chapter 104 Route Allocation
Decades ago... wasn't Chris, the guy who first heard his own voice, a desperate man whose wife and children had starved to death? [That's what he said.]
To keep him from starving, even though his fishing skills weren't up to par at the time, he secretly went to the river to steal small crabs for him. As a result, he got his head pinched twice and the crab held a grudge against him.
Over the years, my contact with him has been intermittent. That guy who once struggled to even get a full meal has gradually organized a Forest Heart Church with over a thousand members, becoming his most fervent follower [as he sees it...].
Until today, she finally heard the complexity of human nature through those tree roots.
Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, I suddenly realized that staying here was quite nice. It was quiet and deserted, with no outsiders, but I had some pets I used to keep, and beautiful flowers and plants that were obedient and could grow however I wanted them to.
There are warm supplies, an endless supply of river and mountain delicacies, and sweet fruits. You can sleep until you naturally wake up every day, and you don't have to worry about makeup or interpersonal relationships.
Although it's incredibly boring, if I were to return to the complexities of human society, could this old savage who has lived for hundreds of years really adapt?
For a moment, the cabbage was in a state of extreme confusion, which affected even the flowers and plants outside, making them appear somewhat listless.
Just as I was feeling a bit down, a familiar voice suddenly called out: "Fellow villager? Can you hear me?"
Bai Cai was taken aback, then delighted that her fellow villager had finally contacted her again, but her smile froze for a moment.
So what if we're from the same hometown?
Who knows what kind of person is on the other end?
"Uh... I am," Little Cabbage replied casually.
Brett immediately sensed something was wrong when he heard the tone. The first time he heard the other person's tone, it was one of excitement and exhilaration, clearly the kind of excitement one feels after being suppressed for a long time and finally meeting an acquaintance. But this time, the enthusiasm in the tone was almost gone.
What happened?
Bright's ability as a corpse whisperer makes him extremely sensitive to people's tone and emotions. Because he often listens to the voices of spirits, he can clearly distinguish many complex emotions in people's tone. This time, Xiaobaicai's tone was not only indifferent, but also showed a certain degree of disappointment. Why is that?
I don't think I've offended the other party, have I?
Thinking of this, he cautiously asked, "Fellow villager, did you entrust a very important task to the Heart of the Forest?"
Bai Cai immediately became wary. She had only posted the task not long ago, and this so-called fellow villager had already contacted her and even asked her questions. Sure enough... were all the people who approached her with ulterior motives?
How did you know?
Instead of a reply, he received questions, which told Bright that his fellow countryman had become wary of him.
That won't do.....
Bright thought for a moment and said directly, "Through some special channels, we not only know about you, but also about your nemesis's side. At this stage, players are divided into two factions: the Shadow and the Elf. If I told you we were from the same hometown, you're actually in great danger."
"Two factions?"
The cabbage, who had been bored and longing for the outside world, suddenly perked up. If the other person wanted to ask her some secret, she might stammer, but if they were to tell her about the outside world, she would become interested. She didn't know if she would be able to go out this time, but she was happy to at least get some juicy gossip.
Bright gave a brief overview of the tasks involved in the standoff between the two camps.
Bai Cai was stunned.
So this is what the outside world is like?
All the players are human, but it turns out he's the only one who's an elf?
Moreover, elven blood is highly sought after.
Come to think of it, elves, putting aside everything else, are known for their longevity, so of course they're appealing.
"So, both racial factions want to win over the lower classes and avoid the nobility, but because they fear the elves will dominate the market, the Shadow faction is determined to destroy us?"
"That's exactly what I mean, bro..." Now that he knew how fast the two sides could transmit messages, Bright delivered a lot of information at once.
"The elves have more people, but they are actually at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation because the shadow-type players not only boost their combat power rapidly in the early stages, but they also deliver the goods immediately. Your side is still uncertain. Although it sounds great, whether you can actually get your hands on them is another matter. This time it was actually very risky."
"I see..." Little Cabbage carefully examined the information sent by her fellow villager, seriously distinguishing between true and false. After carefully reading the content, she realized that it matched the information that Forest Heart had conveyed about them being followed in the past few days. It seemed to match up, and her intuition told her that her fellow villager was not lying to her.
If it's true... that's really interesting. I'm actually a big shot in one of the factions?
The little cabbage immediately snorted with pride, thinking, "I've been in seclusion for so long, and Heaven has finally rewarded me!"
Hmm... if that's the case, then those guys in the Heart of the Forest are indeed unreliable. If they get wiped out by the Shadow faction players, then my first batch of robes might really be ruined. But if I just give the coordinates to my fellow countrymen...
Forget it, anyway, those people in the Heart of the Forest are unreliable, and I have no way to get out, so I'll just trust them one more time!
"Fellow villager, the real coordinates are here. Take a look and see if there's any way to preserve a spark of hope. My chances of getting out depend on this."
An hour later, Bright received the coordinates and his heart skipped a beat. Although his fellow Guizhou native had become more vigilant, he was still not vigilant enough. But that was fine, too sensitive a teammate was not easy to cooperate with.
"Don't worry, fellow villager, I'll do my best. After all, I also want to join your side. Let me explain the situation first. I've already connected with Michelle. He and I agreed that if I can control the situation, he's willing to fully assist me. Fellow villager, you can contact him if you have the chance. Based on my guess, he should be a reliable guy."
Michelle?
Upon hearing that the other party could connect with Michelle, Xiaobaicai felt a little more at ease. After years of getting along, she actually trusted Allen and Michelle more. Since Allen had gotten into trouble, Michelle had been unable to contact her. If the other party could be on Michelle's side, their reliability seemed to increase a little bit.
I hope I haven't misjudged him. Actually, it's not a big deal if I misjudged him. At worst, I'll just stay here for a few more years. I've already waited so many years, so what's the big deal?
"We've split up, brothers, what's the plan?"
All the Pokémon players were stunned. They had gathered together and agreed to distribute the loot according to their battle records, with several representatives guaranteeing the distribution. With the support of high-level veterans like Li Gou Dan and Wang Ye, the distribution was reliable enough. But now that those guys had split up, things were hard to predict.
At this moment, Li Gou Dan and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, clearly sensing a distance between them.
After all, most of the players here are from the North region, while these few are from Milandir. They were all laughing and joking together just now, but deep down they must have been wary.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye stepped forward and said, "Everyone, I shared the map of this area with you at the beginning. The people from the Heart of the Forest set off in five groups from different directions!"
"Judging from the routes, the Thorn Forest to the east is the closest and may not have any large monsters. The other routes each have their own risks, but their advantages are also obvious. The Heart of the Forest will definitely have a final route. Although the remote routes are risky, they are actually better in the face of being chased by Shadow Faction players."
Everyone frowned as they looked at the other person. Was this guy paving the way for his own best path by talking so nicely?
"Li Gou Dan and I are planning to take a route that's a bit further south. Anyone want to come with us?" Wang Ye asked directly.
this...
A group of players from the North District were stunned. Most of them were rangers who could read maps. The southern route was not even considered the best. The terrain was complex, with lakes and dense rainforests. This was the most likely way to encounter the terrifying creatures of this forest!
Are these guys really that straightforward?
The group looked at each other, and even Sword Wind Legend couldn't help but whistle. It has to be said that this guy's vision was far superior to those of the other guild leaders.
"I'm rooting for you!" the hungry wolf said directly. "I'll go with you guys."
Good grief, even the Boss Hungry Wolf has joined us? Or are we just overthinking it?
Some players felt ashamed, realizing how straightforward these people from the South were, and how they themselves had been so petty.
Wang Ye nodded, but Li Gou Dan frowned secretly. What was Wang Ye going to do?
Wang Ye said in a low voice, "Going against the grain doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose out. Trust me. Also, although players are now divided into North and South regions, they are essentially just different areas and are easy to win over. Since everyone is on the same side, it's not wrong to gain some reputation."
Li Gou Dan thought for a moment. Although Wang Ye was a quiet person who rarely spoke, his suggestions were always quite reliable. Even the clever guy Yu Nu Wu Gua agreed with him. Well, let him make the decision, considering that he didn't associate with Wang Gou Dan.
In fact, she knew that Wang Ye's warrior attributes made it the most cost-effective for him to follow the shadow path with Wang Gou Dan. The reason he still chose to be with her and Yu Nu was clearly because of their mutual affection.
"Then... I'll join too." One player after another spoke up, and everyone was surprised to see that it was the vice president of the Escort Guild.
Many people recognized him; he was the top fighter in the镖人guild besides the镖人 himself: ID name: 六指镖头 (Six-Finger镖头).
The fact that the only high-level player who wasn't in the first batch of the escort team appeared here this time actually freed up a lot of good route slots for the remaining players, making many players feel a little embarrassed.
"That's settled then, everyone hurry up and catch up, keep an eye on the time... the Shadow faction players are arriving soon, take care!"
"Take care, Brother Wang!" Many people clasped their hands in greeting, saying, "If you ever need anything in the future, just let us know, and we'll never refuse."
"that is!"
On the other side, the players of the "Macho Squad" all looked at their leader: "Boss, what do we do now? Which side should we choose?"
