I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 9 Chris's Past (I)

"Can you tell me more about Chris? I'm very interested in this."

Digging into the stories behind interesting NPCs can satisfy players' curiosity even if they are only exploring part of the storyline.

Some people don't pay attention to the story behind the mission plot, and only think "I don't know who I am or what I am going to do, I just know that I am about to go on a killing spree."

Some people also like to dig into the details and stories behind a task before doing it, and understand the joys and sorrows of the task NPC.

Coincidentally, Lin Ruoyu is a plot fan, and his curiosity does not allow him to not dig out the stories behind important NPCs when he can.

"Who are you to Mr. Chris?"

Connie asked back, Lin Ruoyu thought about it and decided to make up a white lie.

"We are his subordinates for the time being."

"temporary?"

"Yeah, the kind that hasn't been officially confirmed yet."

Lin Ruoyu looked normal.

"He bought us the clothes. There are ten of us, and four of us are missing when we went out today. We heard that two of our companions were here, so we came to rescue them."

"Oh."

Connie temporarily believed Lin Ruoyu's words. There was not much point in the latter lying about this matter. The matter of Prince Chris was no secret in Neama City.

Even newspapers used to publish such news in a joking and sarcastic tone.

If Lin Ruoyu wanted to know about Chris, he could find out by spending some time, so Connie told him what she knew.

……

"Boss, I checked the information and it basically matches."

The player walked down the stairs and said to Lin Ruoyu, interrupting his pleasant conversation with Connie.

"Yeah...that's it...Oh, I forgot to let the brothers out of the wine cellar, kid, hurry up and take them to work."

Lin Ruoyu waved his hand to let the little ghost with a dagger stuck in his shoulder leave, and he turned around to look at Connie.

"Okay, sister, you've earned my trust. Now you can tell me why you're staying."

"Girl upstairs, what are you going to do?"

"Can you accommodate them?"

Lin Ruoyu pointed to the iron box on the bar, which contained a lot of silver coins. He took a quick look and found that there were about a hundred of them.

Not all of this money belongs to Lin Ruoyu. Three-quarters of it belongs to other players. However, he decided to embezzle it temporarily. Later, he would use the RMB to recharge it and exchange it for silver coins to return to other players.

Lin Ruoyu didn't know the purchasing power of silver coins yet, so he needed more information.

"can."

"I'll give you a hundred silver coins. Is that enough for them to live on for a while?"

As soon as these words came out, Connie immediately looked at Lin Ruoyu with a strange look.

"What's wrong with this?"

"No, at least this is the first time I've seen such a generous and kind person like you. With so much money, it's enough for them to leave Neama immediately and return to their hometown in the countryside to marry a good husband."

OK, Lin Ruoyu knew that his decision was a bit reckless, so he turned around and said to the other players.

"I will temporarily embezzle this money and compensate you later."

"It's fine."

At this time, Xiao Gui also walked out from the back of the tavern with the two trapped players. The latter two were in disheveled clothes and cursing.

The first thing the two unlucky guys did after they escaped was to find the tavern owner lying motionless on the ground and beat and kicked his body.

"Okay, if you want to vent your anger, use a knife, not your hands."

"Forget it then. Using a knife is so dirty and it's abusive to the corpse."

"So you're not torturing the corpse now?" "Not really."

Lin Ruoyu was too lazy to argue with these two guys. He turned around and looked at Connie, waiting for the latter's answer.

"I want to work with you."

"What cooperation?"

"Open a tavern, start a gang, anything is fine as long as you can make money. I know a lot of people and a lot of things, and you just came to Neama, you need my help."

Lin Ruoyu couldn't deny it. He thought about it seriously and felt that Connie's suggestion might be feasible, but he needed to discuss it with other players.

"Can you hold on here?"

"Sure, I can call a few people to watch over the place while I go out."

"That's it, I'll come over tonight and we can talk about it later."

Lin Ruoyu waved his hand and left with the other players.

Connie followed them out and watched them go away outside the tavern. Then she waved to the people watching the excitement across the tavern, and two young men in tattered leather jackets ran over.

"Follow them, and be careful not to get discovered. I need to know where they live."

"Okay, eldest sister."

……

"I knew it……"

Chris sighed. He knew that the players were restless, but he didn't expect that just by dragging a few corpses out, they would kill a few people and run back covered in blood and with tattered clothes.

He waved to Xiao Gui and the other three injured players.

"Come here, this is the medical room. Go in and take off your clothes so I can clean your wounds."

"What about the dead?"

"We'll talk later. We'll be resurrected tomorrow. I'm busy tonight. Go have dinner. The food is warming up in the soup bucket in the kitchen."

There are three rooms on the first floor of Chris's apartment, one is the master bedroom, one is the kitchen, and the other is a room with an iron bed and some unknown equipment.

Lin Ruoyu originally didn’t understand what the last room was for, but now he knows...it turns out to be a medical room!

Lin Ruoyu and two unlucky players ran to the kitchen to eat. He quickly finished two large bowls of rice and a small bowl of chicken bones and potatoes, then went to the medical room to watch what was going on.

There were two people lying in the living room. They were the two guys who had not participated before. They had already gone offline.

It seems that they are not suitable for playing the hard-core simulation games produced by Baihu Studio. They don't even actively seek fun and just passively complete tasks.

Lin Ruoyu shook his head and walked into the medical room. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the little ghost's screams.

"It hurts, it hurts... Doctor, give me some anesthetic!"

"No, I don't have anything like that. It hurts, so just bear with it!"

After some rough treatment, the kid's upper body was wrapped in bandages. He put on his clothes with his teeth bared, and screamed every time he moved. The wounds all over his body, although they wouldn't kill him, were not pleasant.

Lin Ruoyu was silent for a moment, and finally he decided not to remind the little ghost that players can lower their sense of pain.

The other two guys in the medical room were laughing at him, so he shouldn't be the bad guy who disturbed their fun.

"Mr. Chris. Are you free now? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Lin Ruoyu seriously invited Chris to have a private meeting, and the latter looked at him.

"Business?"

"Business!"

"Then go to my room."

　PS: I worked so hard to update four chapters yesterday that I overexerted my brain. Today, the backlash came as I caught a cold.

　　I didn't have a fever, but I felt really uncomfortable during the day. I slept for an afternoon and took some medicine. I felt like I could write tonight and can continue updating.
