Chapter 129 Undercurrents

In the Young Master Elite Group's mercenary channel, Han Jia Gongzi was also collecting messages from the three scattered members.

"I saw Jian Nan You! But I lost him again in a flash. He's very careful, very professional..." Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"Mm, I understand," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What do you mean by that!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was angry. "He really disappeared after turning one street!"

"Did you recognize which street it was?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

But the one who answered was Jian Gui: "It's not because Yu Tian is a direction idiot. Jian Nan You is indeed difficult to deal with. I've encountered him before, but I lost him before long. He's very careful, often taking detours, and he should have several sets of drastically different equipment on him."

This was a huge difference between the parallel world and reality. In reality, changing clothes on the street would attract a lot of attention. But it was common in the game. Many people had two or three sets of equipment prepared. Not everyone had good-looking and top-quality equipment. Most players didn't care about their image when fighting, but when they were just traveling or having a drink, they would try to dress nicely. Yu Tian Shen Ming, Zhan Wu Shang, and others who liked to pick up girls were especially like this. Once upon a time, Yu Tian Shen Ming actually had a piece of clothing with quite insufficient attributes, just because the shape and color were not suitable, and wearing it looked like a scallion, so he finally sold it with tears in his eyes.

Male players were like this, let alone female players. The warehouse was their closet. Whether the equipment was useful or not, if it looked good, they would definitely keep it. In such a realistic game environment, it was really too difficult for the girls to swagger around the street wearing the same clothes for two consecutive weeks.

Jian Nan You was like a beauty-loving girl, except instead of using the warehouse as a closet, he carried several sets of clothes with him, from head to toe. This was a skill he had developed from his dangerous profession of robbery. The seven members of the team acted separately, and he was responsible for paying attention to the movements near the auction house, which was undoubtedly the most dangerous place. Jian Nan You had made full preparations, with seven sets of replacement outfits, covering the seven major professions. Although he wasn't sure if he was being watched, he changed his clothes every time he walked for a while and turned a corner, practicing the saying "a cautious ship sails for ten thousand years" to the extreme.

Yu Tian Shen Ming's evaluation was actually correct. Jian Nan You was indeed careful and professional. When he was careful and on guard, Jian Gui and Yu Tian Shen Ming's amateur level showed the gap between them and professional players.

"Wu Shang, what about your side?" Han Jia Gongzi asked Zhan Wu Shang.

"Those two grandsons are still there." Zhan Wu Shang had been in contact with Lan Yi's people a lot recently, and after hearing them call each other "grandson," he had become addicted to these two words.

"What's their reaction to you?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"That dog spit at me, telling me to not come out, if I do, he will kill me!" Zhan Wu Shang pretended to be a god.

"Have you confirmed if there are any of their people outside the door?" Han Jia Gongzi asked again.

"Confirmed, I didn't see their people," Jian Gui replied.

"But Jian Nan You appeared suspiciously around here," Yu Tian Shen Ming added.

"Yes, that's where I encountered him too," Jian Gui said. After all, they were the group with the upper hand, unlike Jian Nan You and his team, who had to hide. They could openly see what was happening.

"Hmm..."

Han Jia Gongzi was lost in thought. You Ge immediately seized the opportunity and asked, "How is it?"

"These guys are really a cut above in terms of getting rid of or tracking people. If I'm not mistaken, there might be someone watching us in the dark right now," Han Jia Gongzi said.

You Ge immediately turned his head to look around. Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun were exchanging their martial arts insights and didn't care about the current situation. When they heard Han Jia Gongzi suddenly say that someone was watching them, they also casually glanced around at the same time.

"Even if someone is watching, they won't be too close. They can't possibly hear what we're saying," Gu Fei said.

"How many meters can you sense?" Bai Shi Jing Lun asked.

"About ten meters!" Gu Fei said.

"That's really strong. I can only sense about five to seven meters," Bai Shi Jing Lun said enviously.

"This also depends on the person. Look..."

The two continued to discuss their professional knowledge, while Han Jia Gongzi and You Ge couldn't understand at all and looked helpless.

Both teams were doing their own thing, and the absolutely safe auction hall was the only place where they intersected. Zhan Wu Shang wasn't wandering around anymore. He stood at the entrance of the auction hall with his greatsword, half inside and half outside, with the most arrogant expression on his face, revealing his intimidating intentions.

But the two only glanced at him from time to time, paying more attention to the players who were picking up goods from the NPC. Zhan Wu Shang felt a little bored. Compared to when he first came and made the two half dead with anger, the two guys were obviously much calmer now, and their eyes even showed a bit of ridicule towards Zhan Wu Shang.

"How long do I have to stay here? What's the point of doing this?" Zhan Wu Shang couldn't help it. It was Han Jia Gongzi's instruction for him to come to the auction hall. When he asked what he needed to do, Han Jia Gongzi said anything was fine, so he used his shamelessness. He came up to show off, but now he was bored. He was being despised but couldn't do anything, and arguing was too unskilled! Zhan Wu Shang didn't want to do this anymore and protested to Han Jia Gongzi.

"Can you be a little patient? Look how professional they are!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"They have two people! Find me a beauty to accompany me, and I'll show you what professional is," Zhan Wu Shang replied.

"Aren't there any girls coming and going in the auction house? Just pick one!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Eh..." This reminded Zhan Wu Shang. From then on, his eyes no longer lingered on those two guys. He changed into a set of equipment that he thought was extremely handsome and began to wander around the auction house. He flirted with any attractive target, regardless of the consequences. He was quickly given the cold shoulder three times, but he still enjoyed it, as if he had suddenly found the meaning of life.

Huo Ran Yi and Jiao Shui seemed to not care about Zhan Wu Shang at all, but they were still paying attention to him secretly. When they saw that this guy had been idle for a while, he suddenly transformed into a little bee collecting flowers. He was so busy that he almost didn't bother to talk to them.

The two felt that the situation was serious and immediately reported to Jian Nan You.

"Hmph, a facade, still a facade," Jian Nan You said. "Pretending to be relaxed so that we can't figure out their trump cards. Don't worry, I've completely figured out the situation. This was originally a self-selling and self-buying trap designed to lure us out, but in the last step of retrieving the staff, the detail of having more people than auction tables due to the unexpected rush caused the whole plan to be disrupted. Although Qian Li Yi Zui created trouble with the intention of causing chaos, it was obvious that it failed in the end. So they had a dispute, perhaps because the idea was Qian Li Yi Zui's group's, so they intended to take back the staff out of apology or something. However, these guys didn't want us to have an easy time either, and they were using the mistake to carry out their plan. Zhan Wu Shang was clearly monitoring the whereabouts of the staff, but he was deliberately saying some nonsense. There's no need to pay so much attention to him. As long as he's been in the auction house, my judgment won't be wrong, otherwise, why would he be here at this time?"

"Then what do we do?" the two asked.

"As I said before, your task today is to find out who has the staff, the clearer the better. We won't do anything today."

"Won't they get there first?"

"Get there first? Let them. Is it certain that you'll get an equipment drop if you want it? Which of our missions hasn't required us to exhaust all our schemes to succeed? These guys are making this job too simple. Let them go first, and then we'll tell them what professional is," Jian Nan You said.

The two felt relieved after hearing this and continued to pay attention to what they should be paying attention to, and didn't pay much attention to Zhan Wu Shang anymore. Zhan Wu Shang was now wholeheartedly harassing the girls in the auction house, and didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them either. Anyway, Han Jia Gongzi told him to just stay in the auction house and pay attention to things, and there was no strict mission to carry out.

Two hours passed in this way. Jiao Shui and Huo Ran Yi were indeed professionals and could endure loneliness. They really treated this as a job. At this time, the two looked at Zhan Wu Shang again. This guy had actually been harassing girls like crazy for two hours. What kind of shameless spirit was that!

However, the two were actually overestimating Zhan Wu Shang. After flirting with girls for two hours without succeeding with one, Zhan Wu Shang was also very discouraged at this time. He was sending a message to ask Han Jia Gongzi if this would ever end.

"Are those two guys still there?"

"Still there!"

"Very good! It seems we've finally caught them," Han Jia Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Caught what?"

"Our plan should have been seen through by them. In that case, they would never waste any more time in the auction hall. They wouldn't care who the collector was or when they would collect the goods. Anyway, it would eventually be returned to Mang Mang De Mang Mang in the vastness, so it wouldn't be wrong to find Mang Mang De Mang Mang seven days later. But now they're willing to waste more than two hours there. It seems they've finally been tricked by us again. They thought the staff was no longer in our control, so they're insisting on waiting for the owner there," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Is... is that so..." Zhan Wu Shang didn't quite understand what Han Jia Gongzi was talking about.

"Wu Shang has made a great contribution this time. Add fifty points for him, Jian Gui," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Mm!" Jian Gui responded.

"Hahaha, that's a must. You didn't see it. When I stood in this auction hall, those two grandsons were scared... scared... uh, like grandsons!!" Zhan Wu Shang immediately started bragging.

"So what's next?" You Ge asked.

"What's next? Send someone to get the staff! Now that they've been hooked, the situation will be easier to control," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"It would have been better to design it like this earlier, since it's so advantageous," You Ge said with emotion.

"Compared to really selling the staff, there are too many variables in doing this. We were just lucky not to run into them," Han Jia Gongzi still insisted on his own opinion.

At the same time, Mang Mang De Mang Mang, who was traveling with Xi Yao Wu on a White Stone City mission, was also stunned after receiving the message: "What? Go get the staff now?"

"That's right, Jian Nan You and his team have fallen into the trap I set up. Now, taking the staff will directly trigger their actions," Han Jia Gongzi told her.

"What trap?" Mang Mang De Mang Mang was a little confused.

Han Jia Gongzi explained it in general terms. Mang Mang De Mang Mang felt a chill in her heart after hearing this. As expected of the team that had overturned their Qian Chen guild, they seized the original loophole to take advantage of the situation and set another trap when the plan was almost bankrupt. Mang Mang De Mang Mang deeply felt that their guild's destruction was not unjustified.

"But the respawn point hasn't been set up yet." Mang Mang De Mang Mang's ruthless temperament hadn't been lost. Killing someone once wasn't satisfying enough.

"Don't set it up in advance. I suspect that this guy has already guessed this point. Paying attention to the movements around the respawn point is part of his plan to deduce our plan," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Then what should we do? Just kill them once?" Mang Mang De Mang Mang was unwilling. Although Jian Nan You didn't drop her staff and didn't cause her any harm, she had already judged him as an enemy.

"What I mean is don't rush to direct the layout in advance. This might be seen by their spies, but after we start, we don't have to worry about whether they know or not, and arrange it casually. There are seven of them, two priests and no martial artist. You guys can arrange the manpower at the respawn point!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Okay, I understand." Mang Mang De Mang Mang felt that Han Jia Gongzi's arrangement was indeed thorough, but when she just told Lan Yi a sentence, it immediately made him very unhappy: "Still trust that kid???"

"The plan is indeed quite good." Mang Mang De Mang Mang said this, and Lan Yi was also very surprised. He even boldly guessed: "Could it be that the guy deliberately said that kind of thing on a whim at that time, just to provoke a dispute and put on a show for Jian Nan You and his team to see?"

Mang Mang De Mang Mang fell silent for a moment. Han Jia Gongzi's intention in saying that was indeed to that end, but he didn't deny that he had really intended to sell Mang Mang De Mang Mang's staff before. Mang Mang De Mang Mang didn't mind this like Lan Yi and the others, but she certainly didn't want to understand Han Jia Gongzi as a noble person. But Mang Yi and these guys were willing to understand it that way, and Mang Mang De Mang Mang felt that it wasn't a bad thing, at least the cooperation would be smoother in the future, so she immediately replied: "Probably!"

"Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and get moving!" Lan Yi immediately went to call his brothers. Mang Mang De Mang Mang also told Ying Zuka Yue Zai that they needed to deal with six respawn points now, and the more people the better.

Ying Zuka Yue Zai and the others had Gu Fei, a super idol, over there, so their grudges were small enough to be ignored, and they didn't delay for even a minute when they heard that they had to get busy again.

Finally, she personally informed the priest who bought back the staff and told him to pick up the staff now.

"Now? Isn't it a week later?" This kid was just hearing Lan Yi gather everyone and was secretly wondering what was happening!

"The plan has changed. It's more beneficial to take the staff now, go quickly!" Mang Mang De Mang Mang said.

"I'm outside the city, it's quite far..."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

"It's getting late, I have to get off..."

"Play for a while longer. We can't do anything without you in this plan!"

"Mang Mang Jie... actually, I didn't get the staff..."
