Chapter 62: One Goods, Two Services
"Brother, you're truly a hidden master! I admire you!"
On a merchant ship bound for King's Landing across the strait, player [Crescent Moon Sky Rush] was leaning over the kitchen stove. After everyone had left, he turned around and looked with admiration at [Iron-Pumping Superman], who was munching on an apple.
"Hmph, don't let our profession as warriors fool you, this kind of thing is a piece of cake." [Iron-Pumping Superman] casually tossed the half-eaten apple on the ground and pointed at [Crescent Moon Sky Clash]:
"I've shown you my skills, but you're not allowed to learn them in real life."
"I understand," [Crescent Moon Sky Rush] said with a smug grin. "Big brother, with your skills, could you teach me in the game?"
He was truly impressed by the man in front of him who had taken another bunch of grapes from the stove and was eating them. He had thought it would be a lot of trouble, but the man had actually led him around the checkpoint with ease and boarded the ship without buying a ticket.
"Hmph," [Iron-Pulling Superman] chuckled upon hearing this, without saying a word. [Crescent Moon Sky Rush] took this as a sign of agreement and busied himself carrying food for the other party to satisfy his appetite.

"Damn, is calling a mouse a duck really that popular? Has he become a landlord now?"
"Damn it, I should have become a spy too!"
"If only I had known, the hardest thing to buy in the world is 'if only I had known'!"
With the emergence of the first player to be crowned a baron, offline game forums and online players who received the news immediately began to discuss it animatedly.
The casual players who had no ambitions didn't care at all. Some were envious and jealous, while others were researching crooked ways to become treacherous officials and rise to power. In short, it was quite a lively scene.
Offline.
The phrase "Nine Thousand Years Old" is linked to "Storm Riders".
[Nine Thousand Years Old]: Boss, I have some information, do you want it?
[Storm Riders]: Brother, just tell me how much it costs.
【Nine Thousand Years Old】: Sincerely offer five thousand dollars.
[Storm Riders]: [Red Envelope]
[Nine Thousand Years Old]: The boss is generous. Viagra is preparing to release the Qin Dynasty's military merit system and will select troops to march against Gedoho in three days.
[Storm Rider]: Thanks for the information, brother.
Upon receiving the intelligence, [Fengyun] immediately went online and secretly gathered his players.
The second-in-command of the Heroes' Guild, [I'm Really Pretty Awesome], looked at his guild leader with a puzzled expression and said:
"Boss, why have you gathered the brothers here?"
"I have received intelligence that Wei Ge will soon order the troops to be sent to Ge Duohe, and he is also preparing to promulgate the Qin army's military merit system. As the saying goes, first come, first served. My idea is that everyone should set off immediately and take the lead in attacking Ge Duohe before others."
[Storm Rider] never beats around the bush and speaks his mind directly.
"Holy crap, Wei Ge even knows about the Qin army's merit system?"
"Nonsense, Viagra was probably all a staged persona behind the scenes, how could they not know?"
As soon as [Storm Riders] finished speaking, the players under his command began to discuss among themselves.
"The chairman is right. First come, first served. If we get there first, we'll definitely get more benefits than others. And as far as I know, in the Gedo region..."
Aside from the mercenary bandits supported by the Braavos, the Andals and the Loyna tribes and villages pose no threat to us whatsoever.
As the second-in-command, "I'm really pretty awesome" agreed.
The others agreed, saying that if you don't get ahead of others, you might not even get a hot meal, let alone meat.
"Alright, since the brothers have no objections, let's all pretend to be offline tonight, stay alert, and set off tonight after everyone from the other guilds has logged off!"
[Storm Rider] looked at his subordinates and said:
"If you have something to do, or if you can't take leave in reality, you can let me know. Everyone knows what kind of person I am. If you come with me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
No one objected, and after a brief explanation, everyone left.
If we stay any longer, we might attract attention.
After all, several thousand players were crammed into this military camp, and with so many people around, [Fengyun Xiongba] didn't want his plans for tonight to become a joke.
Night slowly fell.
Many players muttered that they had to go to work again and quickly logged off.
As players logged off one by one, all seven hundred players of the Wind Mane White Cloud Legion stood ready, preparing to secretly leave the camp.
Yes, when faced with the choice between work and a powerful figure, all the players in the legion chose the powerful figure.
After all, the big boss is really generous. Tonight's operation costs 1,000 yuan per person, while in reality, if they take a day off, they'll only get 100 yuan at most. And once they get there, the old rule applies: they'll be paid per person. They know which is more cost-effective.
"Walk!"
Seeing that the time was almost right, [Feng Yun Xiong Ba] slowly opened his eyes and led his men out of the tent.
At this moment, the military camp was bustling with people. Before long, seven hundred fully armed players, carrying knives and guns, had gathered in front of [Fengyun Xiongba].
"President."
The second-in-command, "I'm really pretty awesome," led the unicorn cub belonging to Fengyun to the other party.
Although it was just a cub, this unicorn, named "Zhuahuang Feidian" by Fengyun, had the shoulder height and body length of a real Mongolian horse and could be ridden.
One can only imagine how magnificent this unicorn would be when it grew up.
Seeing this, [Fengyun Xiongba] didn't say much. He mounted his horse, raised his hand and waved it forcefully. His players understood and ran out of the military camp.
"President, what are they doing there?"
Player [Akainu Roadside] glanced at the departing figure, then looked at his guild leader who loved pineapple, and asked in confusion.
"Hmph, I have to get involved no matter what they do. Sneaking around in the middle of the night, they must be after some treasure." Love Pineapple was about to log off when he accidentally noticed figures moving around in the military camp. By sheer coincidence, he stumbled upon the Heroes' Guild's operation.
"Go, gather all the brothers who haven't logged off yet. Let's follow them and see what kind of person they are!"
After watching for a while and confirming that most of the enemy's troops had left the camp, Love to Eat Pineapple patted Akainu's shoulder and gave an order.
"Yes, Chairman."
The two left quickly.
"Who goes there!"
Outside the military camp, the player who led the way reined in his horse and looked at the other side with suspicion, shouting.
"Who are you people?!"
After a moment of silence, a questioning voice came from the other side.
"Light the torches!"
[The Storm Riders] stepped out from the ranks and gave the order.
The next instant, flames lit up behind them, and the players were finally able to see who the other side was.
"Damn it, yes! From the Thunder Palace!"
"Damn it! That eunuch, the Ninth Prince, is a double agent! He's a damn bastard from the Heroes' Gathering!"
Soon, the two leaders, Fengyun and Baofeng, met with dark expressions.
"Would you believe me if I said I brought some people out to enjoy the scenery?"
"Would you believe me if I said I brought some people out fishing?"
