My Player 2

Chapter 394 Introduction
"Put your luggage in my car first, and I'll take you to rest after dinner."

Qian Peng handed the key to the parking security guard, helped Li Yuan open the car door and said:
"Don't rush to refuse. The room was booked for you by Lao Huang. His guild is having a team building recently and booked half of the hotel. Don't you have a cooperation with him? He said this is an employee benefit."

The daughter in the back seat looked at her mother with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end she didn't say anything.

They have already planned their travel itinerary and want to stay in a hotel close to the attractions.

But since others have already made arrangements, it would be awkward to refuse.

Li Yuan didn't care about these things. She had long forgotten about the travel plan and was only looking forward to what other people would be like.

She still remembered that when the server was first launched, they refreshed from an empty warehouse, and after getting the weapons in the delivery box, they were driven out to explore freely.

At that time, we had nothing. Because of deleting my account, I owed a large sum of money in real life, and I was also having conflicts with my daughter.

But in the blink of an eye, everyone had their own power in the world over there, and solved many problems in reality through games.

From early spring to the hot summer, I seemed to have experienced a complete life.

But if I counted on the calendar, only 4 months had passed in reality.

"I really want to know what everyone looks like." Li Yuan followed Qian Peng into the restaurant.

She tried to lower her expectations of everyone. After all, they were no longer young and still spent more than ten hours playing games every day.

Not to mention that some people may have a beer belly, not losing hair is considered a good maintenance.

Qian Peng walked in front, pushed open the door of the box, and shouted to everyone in the room:

"Look who I brought here?"

Everyone in the room turned around and looked at the young woman behind Qian Peng... Female?

Several people looked at Li Yuan, but did not dare to confirm her identity at first glance.

The woman at the door had a delicate face and well-maintained skin, making it hard to tell her real age. If a little girl hadn't come out from behind her, one would not have dared to determine her identity.

As the host, Huang Sen stood up and greeted Li Yuan who was standing at the door, saying enthusiastically:

"Welcome, welcome, Teacher Li Yuan, nice to see you again. I am Golden Wind."

The two had met offline before because of their trading experience.

However, in order to speed up the progress of the game, they only met briefly and signed a contract, and there was no other communication.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Li Yuan nodded to Huang Sen to apologize and looked at everyone in the room.

Fortunately, except for Qian Peng, who looks like a standard middle-aged uncle, the others are all good-looking, with no big belly and no baldness, and some of them look very energetic.

Just looking at the appearance of these people, it is really hard to tell who is who, but...

She couldn't help but look at the man sitting in the corner, wearing slippers and beach pants, holding up his mobile phone without hesitation and taking pictures of herself.

It’s not because he is too conspicuous, but because his presence is too low.

Even if he pointed the camera at me, if I were an ordinary person, I probably wouldn't notice his behavior.

This unnatural low presence is most likely due to the assassin player's [Restrained Aura].

Is this girl "Sakurajima Mai"?

Li Yuan remembered that among all the players at the beginning of the game, he was the only one who played the assassin role.

Sakurajima Mai, who was wearing beach pants, noticed that Li Yuan was staring at her. She put away her phone calmly and smiled awkwardly, as if nothing had happened.

There was no other way. This was a task assigned by his superiors, asking him to take a photo of each old player so that he could see how these guys reacted.

Based on the above speculation, the number of extraordinary people in the private sector may have exceeded double digits.

But most people hid it very well. Even though they had superhuman powers, they still lived their lives as usual. Even under strict surveillance, they did not show any abnormality.

After all, bronze-level transcendents are not that strong after all, and are not qualified to cause trouble.

The higher-ups have yet to come up with an idea on how to deal with them.

"I've asked the waiter to serve the food. Everyone, please find a seat and sit down. We are all family, so there is no need to distinguish between upper and lower seats."

Huang Sen asked everyone to sit at the dining table, and he sat down near the door.

"Come on, come on, Teacher Li Yuan has just arrived. Let me introduce her to you all."

As the host, Huang Sen maintained the atmosphere and introduced Li Yuan:

"Brother Dao and Baron, I'm sure you all know them, right? They are both professional players who have won glory for their country. You can usually see them on TV."

This is obviously nonsense.

It's true that Dao Ge and Baron are professional players. There are a lot of emoticons about them on the Internet. Even passers-by who don't pay attention to the game have some impression of them, but it's obviously an exaggeration to say that they appear on TV frequently.

The total time the two of them appeared on TV over the years was less than half an hour.

"You two, I've heard a lot about you. I've always been your fan, and now I finally see you in person." Li Yuan joked to them.

Compared to his professional days, Dao Ge looks a lot stronger. Although his body is covered by his shirt, it is not difficult to see the solid muscles under the clothes.

You can tell at first glance that he exercises regularly and is a natural bodybuilder who doesn’t drink protein powder.

The Baron had just reached adulthood, was not even 20 years old yet, and the childishness on his face had not yet faded. He gave people the impression of a kid who liked to blow up shit with firecrackers, with a cunning air about him.

Brother Dao stood up and said something polite, then shook hands with Li Yuan and sat back down.

The Baron looked a little shy and somewhat awkward when facing Li Yuan.

After the three of them finished their greetings, Huang Sen continued to introduce the others:

"This handsome guy with long hair is 'Legs', and next to him is his lover 'Regret'."

Tui Ye just nodded slightly and didn't even dare to look at Li Yuan.

He was not as shy as the Baron, but if he looked into the eyes of such a beautiful woman, his girlfriend would definitely act up when he returned home that night.

Last time, he forgot to reply his girlfriend's message because he was having dinner with friends. When he got home, he found her playing tic-tac-toe on her wrist.

He was scared half to death at the time and has been trembling with fear ever since.

After introducing the couple, the little guy sitting next to them pulled the little girl who was leading the way to the seat, stood up and said:
"I'm Kuangfeng, and this is my daughter Wenwen. Boss Li, I finally meet you in person."

"Hello, hello." Li Yuan shook hands with him and felt that he should be an ordinary person and had not yet become a transcendent.

This guy is a "Force 8 Gale" and Li Yuan was persuaded by him to come here.

Because he said he would bring his daughter along as well, and the two girls could go play together, so Li Yuan would have time to visit the game exhibition tomorrow.

Unlike the loud shouting when giving orders, "Level 8 Great Storm" looks gentle and refined, only a little over 1.6 meters tall, wearing thick high-power glasses. He has the temperament of a top-level programmer, and there is an indescribable sense of steadiness when he sits there.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, letting each other's daughters get to know each other, then sat down again, waiting for the host to introduce other people.

Huang Sen continued to introduce:
"These two are 'I am a cheater' and 'Green Player', the model couple in our game." Faced with these two bad players who were just playing the game at the beginning of the game, Huang Sen really didn't know how to praise them.

No one knew what the two of them were busy with. The man was only level 112 and the woman was only level 82, and they rarely appeared in public.

Even among the new players who joined the game last month, there are people whose levels are higher than both of them.

"The last one is 'Amu Xiao', a household name. He picked you up from the airport, so I won't introduce you in detail."

After introducing "Amu Xiao", Huang Sen also sat down, as if he had completed his mission.

Li Yuan blinked, looked at the guy sitting on Huang Sen’s right, who was suspected to be "Sakurajima Mai", and sat down without saying a word.

Why don't you introduce him?
Was it because he activated [Conserve Your Breath] that Huang Sen ignored him?

She looked around at everyone at the table again, and except for Brother Dao who looked like a sword hidden in its sheath, she could only be sure that the guy had become a transcendent.

However, with the ability of "Golden Wind", he might have already been a supernatural being. He deliberately ignored "Sakurajima Mai" and was probably pretending, but she had no way to confirm it.

Li Yuan wanted to cast a spell to test it out, but ultimately resisted the urge.

After she began to doubt the authenticity of the game, she organized a feasible training system and practiced it occasionally when she had nothing to do.

It seemed that I was very talented and became an extraordinary person without much effort.

But unfortunately, I am just a magician, not a [magical girl].

Because in order to become a [Magical Girl], one must have a pure heart and body. She may still have the former, but she definitely does not have the latter.

After everyone sat down, the dishes came up.

Brother Dao, who was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, suddenly moved his ears slightly.

He opened his eyes and glanced at the pantry by the side door, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just now, he heard the order from the waiter in the preparation room on the Bluetooth headset to continue monitoring them.

Is your hearing already so good?
No, why would a waiter in a restaurant monitor us?
……

at the same time.

The sharp blade light suddenly flashed, cutting a hellhound with three shark heads into two neat halves from the middle shark head.

The monster that fell to the ground was not dead yet. Only two shark heads were left flapping their wings, but they no longer posed any threat.

The 'Thief God' took out the bird cage from his waist, looked at the progress bar that had only increased a little, and couldn't help but frowned, muttering to himself:

"I've killed several bosses, but it feels like I've only recharged less than 4%?"

Ever since he got the birdcage, he has been looking for trouble with monsters of all kinds. Not counting the low-level monsters, he has killed no less than 120 bosses above Lv50.

But the progress bar on the birdcage just doesn’t go up.

He has used up all his stored skills, and the skills he has temporarily stored are all stolen from monsters and have basically no damage.

"Does it have to be an A-level... a demigod-level monster?"

The "Thief God" rubbed his brows, not wanting to challenge the Boss of a higher level.

It’s not that he doesn’t dare to challenge A-level, but he can’t guarantee that he can kill it on the first try.

Facing unknown high-level enemies, no one can guarantee that they will not fail.

What's more, he has already killed countless monsters and has more than 30 billion experience points. The "burden" is too heavy, and he really doesn't want to take risks casually.

But then again, the agent didn't seem to say that I couldn't find help, right?

"Thief God" easily dealt with the remaining two heads, opened the background chat window, and found other professional players who were doing tasks.

"What do you mean you're already home?"

"Damn, there's so much experience here, why don't you get more after you complete the mission?"

"What? Lao Deng is still on track. I'm going to call him now!"

The "Thief God" contacted his companions one by one, only to find that they had already completed the mission, and some had even returned to the original world.

Only "Humorous Lao Deng" stayed on track for a while longer and remained in the world.

He hurriedly contacted the other party, wanting Lao Deng to come down to help, but was decisively rejected.

After hanging up the phone, "Toushen" breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little depressed.

If he was in full condition, he would not be afraid of challenging A-level.

But he had used up all his skills, and the means he stole from the monsters could only be used to consume and test the monsters, and he lacked the means to win with one blow.

He looked through the intelligence he had intercepted before, and suddenly stopped at a page, muttering to himself:
"black market?"

The black market does not refer to a certain force, but is a general term for countless black markets of all sizes.

There are "tree traitors" on the side of the World Tree, and naturally there are also "deep traitors" on the side of the Abyss.

Some good things from the [Abyss] come from these black markets.

After all, energy is a universal currency on both sides.

The world of conflict is out of control and closely connected to the abyss, so naturally there will be a black market.

The intelligence contained very little description of this black market, only saying that things from the [Abyss] could be purchased there, but there was no guarantee of safety at all.

The guy who provided the information said that he suspected that the organizers of the black market were taking advantage of the situation.

"This is a world of conflict. The strongest monsters around here are only A-level. If we really encounter a gang robbing each other, we can just treat the organizer as a boss and kill him."

The "Thief God" whispered to himself, feeling somewhat tempted by the black market mentioned in the intelligence.

But he didn't lose his mind.

A black market that can be opened in the world of conflict will definitely not have only one A-level boss.

He could still challenge one boss, but if he met two he would be completely doomed. Before causing trouble in the black market, he had to get some intelligence first.

The "Thief God" ignored the corpse of the three-headed shark. It seemed that he could dig up some materials from it, but he was too lazy to make such a small profit.

Experience is currency anyway, so you might as well kill more monsters instead.

After leaving this small world, the "Thief God" returned to the land of the Conflict World. He determined his location based on the company's ships on orbit and headed towards the black market mentioned in the intelligence.

When he was 100 kilometers away from the black market, he used a shelter scroll provided by the company and found a place to log off and rest.

After having a meal in reality and taking a deep sleep, I returned to the game.

He cleared the shelter, found a talking demon on the way, "stole" his appearance, and entered the small world belonging to the black market as an abyss demon.
