Chapter 24: Page 24

Shiluwa: "So what are you going to do?"

Pera: "I will prepare for the worst. If those people you mentioned cannot solve the crisis, and if the Great Guardian really gives up resistance, I and everyone else will never give up, even if our end is death."

Listening to Pera's words, Shiluwa sighed: "To be honest, sometimes I wonder if it's really a good idea to let Cocolia be the guardian... Well, let's not talk about this. Do you have any good ideas? You know I'm not good at this. If you have any good ideas, I can help you."

Thanks to Shiluva's connections within the Iron Guard, many things can be done a million times more easily with her around.

Pera: "I have an idea... But we can't make them wanted criminals, instead..."

Pera looked at the portrait she had drawn, which was a beautiful picture based on the descriptions of the Iron Guard captain and others. Compared with Jeppard's abstract style, it was much easier to identify a person through this.

If Sambo saw this picture here, he would definitely know who this is. Isn't this himself?

He was also unlucky. Obviously Pera had never seen her, but Pera relied on everyone's description to draw a picture that was 80% similar to Sambo. If holding Jeppard can only grasp it abstractly, holding Pera's painting can grasp Sambo 100%.

The only pity is that Sambo has now fled to the downtown area, and we can't catch him even if we issue a wanted notice there.

Yes, Pera was going to find someone to take the blame first. When the truth came out, she would have her own way to make Sambo receive the punishment he deserved instead of taking the blame. But now, Sambo had to take the blame first.

Undercurrents were surging in the upper area. While Sambo was taking the blame, Bronya woke up in a daze in Natasha's clinic in the underground.

"you're awake."

"No! I don't want to drink!!!"

Bronya's body instinctively said words of rejection. Her body had already developed PTSD, and she even instinctively had the thought of rejection the moment she saw the coffee.

Seeing her in this state, Natasha smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you that coffee."

Hearing this, Bronya breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered Pei Guang's appearance and asked hurriedly: "Have you ever seen a person with black hair, very... very handsome, with strange behavior and even rummaging through trash cans, but with an inexplicably determined look in his eyes..."

"Are you talking about Pei Guang? Well... rummaging through the trash cans... is indeed what they are doing now."

Natasha originally invited them to come in and talk, but during the process of coming in, several people discussed whether to open the trash can and who should open it. Whenever a group of people do this, Natasha thinks they are crazy.

But now Natasha has a very good impression of Pei Guang and his group. In addition to her letters and supplies, she also knows that Pei Guang brought letters from many people, which is a great hope for these people in the underground. Although many people are not afraid of death, if there is hope, their final choice is not to die but to try to survive.

Bronya stood up: "They are outside, right? I have something to do..."

Natasha nodded: "Yes, but before that, do you want to change your clothes? The people here don't have a good impression of you Silver Mane Iron Guards."

Hearing this, Bronya shook her head: "No, if it is our fault, I will have to bear the resentment and criticism from everyone."

From the beginning to the end, Bronya has her own awareness, but this awareness is not that strong, and it is even easy to get into a dead end.

At the entrance of Natasha's clinic, Pei Guang, Xing, March Seven, Dan Heng and Xi'er, who was frightened by eating melons, were surrounding the last trash can. Originally, there were two unopened trash cans here, but when passing by, March Seven opened one under Pei Guang's instigation.

Xier knew very well what was in the trash can. It was nothing more than some people's clothes, props, or some garbage. However, under her gaze, something actually appeared in the trash can on March 7th.

The most shocking thing is not what you get when you open the box. The most shocking thing is that when March 7 opened the box, the box actually emitted a purple light.

At that time, Xi'er had a thought: "Am I dreaming?"

But then I thought, Pei Guang and his group were able to run down from the upper area with so many supplies and a lot of letters, gifts and various supplies for their families, so there was nothing wrong with the purple light coming out of the trash can, right? Nothing wrong, right?

Chapter 51 Bronya: "Why don't I have it yet?"

In front of the trash can that hadn't been opened yet, San Yue Qi looked at Dan Heng and said, "Come on, we are in this together. I have opened it, so you can definitely do it."

Dan Heng was silent. He didn't know how Pei Guang and Xing got the things from the trash can, but when March 7th opened it just now, he could clearly feel that there was no power fluctuation. March 7th just opened the trash can, and inside lay a constant temperature crystal emitting purple light.

Dan Heng felt that his understanding of the world had suffered a great impact when he looked at this scene. He even had a feeling of unreality when he thought that Pei Guang's star destroyer and the star's light cone all came from here.

"What is the principle behind this?"

Dan Heng looked at Pei Guang, and Pei Guang pondered: "I don't know either, but as a game that stitches together many game features, it is common sense to find materials, props, weapons, and equipment in the trash can, isn't it?"

Xing nodded: "Isn't that common sense?"

March 7: "Isn't this common sense? Bah! How did I become a parrot?"

Pei Guang: "If you don't open it, I will. Anyway, they are all useless materials, so keep them for now."

Pei Guang was about to take action when Dan Heng continued to ask, "What do you think of the things we got here?"

Dan Heng has given up thinking. After all, the universe is so big that it seems to be okay to have some strange common sense.

Pei Guang: "Generally speaking, the things you get from a map are helpful for clearing the map. Only rewards from boss battles or clearing levels are helpful for the next map. Why don't you try it? You're the only one in our group who hasn't opened one."

Dan Heng was still hesitating. When he looked at this shabby trash can, he felt that it was no longer a trash can, but a treasure chest.

There is a faint smell of decay emanating from the cracks of the dilapidated trash can, which reminds everyone that this is just a trash can. How can there be treasure in a trash can?

Dan Heng was thinking and hesitating, and at this time Bronya came over.

"Excuse me...can I try it?"

Pei Guang: “Open it as you like!”

At this time, Xing came closer and whispered, "Anyone can ship the goods?"

Pei Guang: "I don't know, but according to my experience, NPCs won't give out anything."

Xing: “I see!”

After hearing the permission, Bronya approached the trash can. The pain of opening the box late at night and not finding anything was still lingering in her heart. She was unwilling to accept this. Why could the man in front of her find useful things from a seemingly ordinary trash can?

And she? The successor of the Great Guardian, the Acting Commander of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, couldn't she get what she needed from this treasure chest?

Hesitation will lead to failure, and decisiveness will lead to failure. She decisively opened the trash can. At this moment, the trash can was filled with the smell of decay and decay. Looking at the garbage that was full of stomach-churning garbage, Bronya silently closed the lid.

At this moment, Bronya was about to burst into tears. Looking at the trash can again, the tiny gap seemed to be mocking her, mocking her incompetence, mocking her weak will.

Yes! No matter when, she was doubting whether it could produce something precious and useful.

How could she doubt it? When she put aside her doubts, she found that the trash can showed her a welcoming smile, and it seemed as if there was an invisible hand pulling her through the gap, allowing her to experience this incomparable happiness.

However, Dan Heng was one step faster at this time. He had some doubts and ideas. If Pei Guang, Xing or even San Yueqi were to open it, this idea could not be verified. But now that Bronya had taken the first step, he could verify his ideas.

Dan Heng opened the box. The moment the box was opened, he fell silent as he looked at the green light that came out.

Dan Heng was stunned: "How did you do that?"

Before Pei Guang could speak, Xing suddenly realized something: "I see, this is Schrödinger's trash can! Guang told me that whether there is treasure in the trash can is a state of quantum entanglement!"

When in doubt about quantum mechanics, even the stars don't know the principle, but sometimes the principle is important? It doesn't matter, as long as it can be used and is easy to use, just use it boldly.

Dan Heng was still thinking and observing. But Bronya, who was watching this scene, could no longer hold back. Now she was sure of one thing: Pei Guang and the others were indeed problematic.

As for Xi'er? She didn't think about it at all when she saw this scene. As long as she didn't think about it, she wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Bronya said to herself: "How... did they do this?"

Seeing Bronya's puzzled expression, Seele explained as a matter of course: "Because they are powerful people. Look, they can bring so many supplies down from the upper area by riding the train and singing. Can you do that?"

"I…"

Bronya wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She couldn't even ask Cocolia to come here, let alone bring supplies.

Seeing her frustrated expression, Xier laughed: "That's it? They can easily do things that we can't do, so why do we have to think so much about why?"

Anyway, Xi'er was not going to think about Pei Guang and his group, because thinking about it made her head itch as if a brain was growing out of it. After living underground for so many years, how could she not know what was in the trash cans and garbage bins?

Not only her, but even Dan Heng didn't know what to say when he looked at the garbage in the trash can and recalled the green light just now.

"Forget it, just treat it as common sense."

Anyway, the universe is so big, there will always be some strange things happening. Just treat it as if some star god is too bored and playing with them, or that Pei Guang is heading towards a destiny that even he doesn't know.

Never mind. Thinking too much about it will only make my already painful head hurt more. Anyway, if something really happens that they can't solve, I can just ask Lao Yang and Ji Zi for help. Before that... just let it go.

While we were studying it here, a miner came running over in a panic from the other side.

"Ms. Xi'er, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

Hearing the call, Xier ran over: "What happened?"

The miner gasped, "The mine! The mine. The wanderers are making trouble!"

Xi'er: "What?"

When Xier heard that someone was going to cause trouble, she became furious. The wanderers all fled to the mining area from Rivet Town or other places eroded by the Rift. Some of them worked honestly, but among the crowds, there were always some with bad intentions.

A new mining area was discovered in the mining area these days, and there have been many conflicts between the local fire and the wanderers over this mining area. Today, the wanderers took advantage of Oleg's absence to cause a big disturbance, and now the entire mining area is in chaos and urgently needs manpower, so the miners hurried to Panyan Town to seek help.

Chapter 52 Xier: "Are you fighting?"

Xier: "Everyone! Sorry, I have to go first. I'm needed at the mining area!"

Xi'er was originally left here to serve as a guide for Pei Guang and his group, but now something happened in the mine, and she had to go over to take a look. They were already short-handed, and they were causing trouble.

"Wait? What did you say? Mine?"

As a player, Pei Guang caught a key piece of information when the other party was communicating. He looked at Xier and said, "Are you saying there are a lot of mines here?"

Xier nodded and said, "There used to be many mining areas underground, but in recent years, an erosion called the Rift has spread underground, and many mines have been affected and can no longer mine. The place where the incident happened was a mining area that was intact and the environment was relatively clean. A group of wanderers whose hometown was swallowed by the Rift ran there to settle down. In fact, most of these people are honest, but with so many people, it is inevitable that some scum who likes to stir up trouble will sneak in."

"The wanderers have been fighting with the miners every few days, and they often steal the miners' supplies. This is just a minor fight. This time I guess it will be different from the past..."

Xi'er knew some of the inside story, and because of that she understood how tight the situation was at the mining area. Even though she was grateful for Pei Guang and his group's actions, she could only leave to help the Earth Fire fight.

Listening to Xier's description, Pei Guang and Xing looked at each other.

Pei Guang: "So something is going on here?"

Xing: "What's the reward for this mission?"

March 7: "They mean they will help, but they need to give some rewards."

Hearing this, Xier fell into deep thought: "I...seem..."

San Yue Qi came close to Xi'er and whispered, "Anything is fine. As long as it is something you think is valuable, they will accept your commission. Believe me, if you ask them to do something for you, they will definitely complete it, unless they forget."

As San Yueqi was already proficient in communicating with Pei Guang, she naturally knew what Pei Guang meant. What was such a big deal? A mission! How could these two not accept such a mission?

Reward? Xier thought for a long time, what kind of reward could she give? Even though many of the supplies were brought by them, what could she give?

While she was thinking, San Yue Qi reminded her quietly, "There's nothing to give. You can just be their guide and show them the way. Are you familiar with the various places here?"

Xier replied in a low voice: "Familiar!"

After hearing the answer, San Yue Qi looked directly at Pei Guang: "A Guang! She said that if you complete her mission, she will act as a guide to help us complete the letter mission!"

Xier: "?"

Pei Guang's eyes lit up at this: "This mission is great! After we complete it, there will be temporary teammates joining us? Let's go! Let's get some work done. Oh, by the way, I just picked up a few pickaxes. Since this is a mining area, there must be mines. If we encounter mines, we can secretly dig some and take them away while completing the mission."

Xing made an OK gesture: "Understood! But what are these mines for?"

Pei Guang: "It can be useless, but it can't be gone. If it's really useless, we can throw it away or give it away. If it doesn't work, we can use it to improve their favorability. If the favorability is high, maybe we can get it as a reward for completing the task in the end. We can mine their mines to improve their favorability towards us, and then they will have to thank us."

Xing: "As expected of A Guang, you are really smart! Does that mean you can do anything if your favorability is high~"

Pei Guang: "Of course you can. Kiss, hug, and lift me up. This game has such a high degree of freedom. You can do anything if you like someone."

Xing: "Let's go then?"

Pei Guang: "Let's go! Qi'er~let's go!"

March 7: "Here we go! Let's go!"

Xier was stunned when she saw the three people leaving in a hurry. When she heard Pei Guang calling her, she hurriedly followed them.

Xier felt that since she met Pei Guang, she felt that her rhythm was messed up. What were these three talking about? Why did it feel like they were talking about me? I didn't say anything.

Dan Heng sighed as he looked at the three people's backs. If possible, he would take a good rest in the next world. Tired, too tired, not only tired of leading people, but also tired of all kinds of abnormalities.

At this time, Bronya also followed. Dan Heng felt that if he didn't follow, the three huskies might tear the underground apart. What could he do? Just follow and keep an eye on them.

The only thing he was thankful for was that Pei Guang still had core principles in doing things. If he had no principles, this thing would probably have dismantled the immortal boat, right?

On the bridge in the mining area, two wanderers were staring at an elevator. Far behind them, Pei Guang and his group arrived.

Pei Guang did not rush to kill everyone, but took out coffee and two empty cups, and poured enough coffee into the two cups to make people dizzy after drinking it all.

Pei Guang: "I'll fill these two empty cups, and we'll sneak over and give them some to drink from."

Xing: "Why not just knock him out? Or chase him away?"

Pei Guang: "I'm afraid they'll be beaten to death or disabled. We were too harsh. It's a pity to kill or disable people in such a realistic game! Remember, in the end times, people with intact limbs are more useful than dead people. Drive them away? You're not going to keep these two big laborers for mining, are you going to let them go?"

Xing: "Mining?"

Pei Guang: "That's right! What's the point of being dead? It's nothing more than a few pieces of meat, but being alive can create value. I can tell from your lack of experience in business simulation games. With them, our mining can become more efficient."
