Chapter 197 The Fat Boss's Persuasion: Another Deal!
Chapter 197 The Fat Boss's Persuasion: Another Deal!
Ye Xuan had no news about the three-eyed clan yet, but no one in the entire territory was better suited to gather intelligence than the NPCs.
The entire territory now has countless players.
Unless absolutely necessary, most of humanity now spends their time in the game world.
Especially now with the emergence of energy wormholes.
All chat channels were buzzing with discussion about this, especially after players who had awakened their talents in real life posted about it online.
People's enthusiasm for this game is at an all-time high.
With extensive analysis, people have gradually accepted the fact that reality will increasingly resemble games in the future.
Nowadays, people are unlikely to be foolish enough to trade their lifespan for game points, let alone real-world money.
"Hey, have you guys heard?"
"Apart from the energy wormhole, all the starting villages have disappeared."
"Not only that, everyone who didn't leave the starting village was also wiped out, and I heard they can't be found in reality either."
"Large numbers of people disappeared from various countries, including many wealthy family patriarchs."
"With the recent emergence of awakened beings, the world is likely to descend into chaos."
"Yes, I've heard that some brutal Awakeners, right after their awakening, start acting recklessly and ignoring the law."
"Anyway, try not to go out unnecessarily during this period, and focus on improving your strength as much as possible."
"Those experts say that the stronger your skills in the game, the greater the chance of awakening in real life."
"Things are different now than before; we need to be able to protect ourselves."
The entire area was filled with discussions, mainly about the energy wormhole and the recent disappearance of the beginner village.
It was this incident that changed the minds of many people who had previously dismissed the game.
This can really kill people.
The unexplained disappearance of people in various countries can lead to deficiencies in various jobs and components of society.
If not handled properly, even without the integration of games and reality, unrest in various countries around the world will continue to shrink the remaining population.
However, with the arrival of the energy wormhole, Earth's energy system will undergo a dramatic change.
The original military weapons will become unusable for a period of time and must be modified before they can be used again.
In this respect, China should be ahead of all other major powers.
After all, the map Ye Xuan had helped them conquer had provided them with a large number of blueprints.
It's likely that China has already created similar mechanical artifacts in reality.
However, these things will not have a significant impact on Ye Xuan.
He can now easily crush even the former alien prodigies, let alone the newly awakened Earth players.
He's on his way to the fat boss's grocery store; the race war ended almost two days ago.
If he doesn't go find the fat boss soon, he might get his hands on him.
At that point, the price he pays will be far more than just a little.
With players gathering in their strongholds, the general store is now also frequented by many players.
As soon as Ye Xuan walked in, he noticed that there were many more basic NPCs here.
It seemed that the fat boss didn't easily interact with players. Just as he was about to habitually shout towards the backyard...
The fat boss's voice came through my ear.
"Go to the back hall and pass directly through the transparent barrier door."
Ye Xuan skillfully found his spot and disappeared without a trace, much to the astonishment of the surrounding players.
Behind the grocery store was a private courtyard, but now, besides the fat owner, there was a familiar figure there.
Master Yan, the master forging expert who helped Ye Xuan upgrade the Endless Arrow Jar.
"Kid, if you don't come to complete the transaction soon, I'm going to come out of the general store and arrest you myself."
The fat boss was holding two unidentified spherical objects in his hands, twirling them back and forth.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the fat boss seemed to have gotten even rounder.
He handed the ghost cat's eyes and the golden elephant's tusks to the fat boss.
"I'm sure the matter of the Blue Star suit can't be kept from you two any longer; the energy wormhole issue caused some delays."
The portly boss casually put away the two items, his eyes seemingly gleaming with a faint blue light.
"I never imagined that such a freak as you would appear on this tiny planet."
Ye Xuan knew nothing about the fat boss, and wasn't even sure if he was human.
However, it was clear that a kind of eye technique was used on him just now, but it's unclear what the specific effects were.
"Alright, the deal's done. You can get lost."
Ye Xuan's strength is vastly different from what it used to be, but facing the fat boss is still like facing an endless abyss.
Bottomless.
"Boss, we've done business together several times already, so I'm pretty reliable, right?"
The chubby boss nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"It's alright."
Then he looked at Ye Xuan with some disdain.
"Spit it out. You're quite wealthy now; you shouldn't need to borrow anything from me anymore."
He can see my social media profile?!
Although Ye Xuan was shaken, he remained outwardly calm.
"I'd like you to keep an eye out for clues about a certain player."
"A three-eyed player who doesn't belong to the Blue Star server."
The fat boss narrowed his eyes and gave a meaningful smile.
"Don't think that just because you killed a few prodigies from mid-level races, you've set your sights on the Three-Eyed Clan."
"The Three-Eyed Clan and newbies like you are not even in the same league."
"Even if they can't come to Earth in their true forms, some of their incarnations are not to be trifled with."
Seemingly afraid that Ye Xuan wouldn't believe him, he directly pointed out Ye Xuan's basic attributes.
"Your attribute values of over a million are truly something to be envied on Earth."
"But the Three-Eyed Clan often reaches this level around level 10."
"And the person you're looking for will definitely be a level 50 being when they are born."
"Not to mention, the Three-Eyed Clan are born with supernatural powers, and you actually have designs on him?"
"Kid, don't aim too high!"
Ye Xuan hadn't expected that he was merely trying to gather information.
The fat boss actually talked a lot.
He didn't really know much about the Three-Eyed Clan, though he seemed to recall reading about them in a post from his previous life.
He was born on Earth specifically to acquire some kind of treasure.
After receiving it, he quickly chose to leave, seemingly disliking the environment of the Blue Star server.
At the same time, because of his conspicuous three-eyed mark, many forces have chosen to take action against him.
The result was self-evident: an easy annihilation.
Some of his abilities were recorded in the post because of these few instances.
One of them is the very valuable mental scan.
It seems that the Three-Eyed Clan is much more terrifying than Ye Xuan imagined.
"Boss, thanks for reminding me, I was just curious."
"If you have any leads, tell me. I don't intend to do anything reckless."
Seeing that Ye Xuan still refused to give up, the fat boss narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Indeed, a three-eyed person descended upon Earth a few days ago."
“I can give you a clue.”
"But this time, you have to get me something first."
