Chapter 257 Opening Ceremony (Daily Chapter)
"Cooperation..."
Mu You raised his eyebrows, but he didn't resist it, at least he could go and have a look, even if the cooperation failed, it would be good to get some information.
The other party specifically mentioned not to bring fragments, which can be regarded as a means to show that he has no malicious intentions. Of course, it is also a kind of self-protection. After all, the other party cannot determine who he is, and both sides have scruples about each other, so they simply do not bring fragments , let's talk about it first.
As for where the fragments are stored when meeting? There are two methods, one can be directly extracted to reality. Two can also be handed over to another person, and then let the other party go offline.
When offline, the debris is in a collapsed state, and will not be displayed in the two worlds, so it can naturally guarantee absolute safety.
Mu You didn't need to bother, he directly stored the other fragment in the vampire's tomb.
Then he went back to the imperial capital and dawdled for a while. When the time was almost up, Mu You left the academy, put on the skin of a watchman, and went to the south of the city to find the other party for an appointment.
【The night is quiet, you have come to the ruins in the south of the city. 】
【After many days of renovation, all the valuable things in the ruins have been removed, and the only thing left is the ruins after the fire. It is said that the auction of the ruins by the imperial family is in progress, but with the threat of the Wizarding Association, no one has dared to take over. 】
【It’s past midnight, and you arrived near the old site of the Wizard Tower as agreed. 】
【The war eagle hovered above your head, and soon in the dark night, you saw a figure under a broken wall in front of you...】
Mu You didn't rush over, let the war eagle circle around first.
After confirming that no one else was ambushing nearby, he manipulated the character to appear and walk away.
【You walked out of the darkness, approached the opponent, and stopped ten meters in front of the opponent. 】
【At this point, you have clearly seen the ID above the opponent's head: Edward Jack (level 15)】
Level 15, and an evolved level 15, that is to say, this is a player who has just advanced to a high level.
But what Mu You cares about is the other party's ID. The text prompts an automatically translated Chinese name, but in the Omniscient Crystal, he can see the other party's original ID, which is a series of side doors he is not familiar with. character.
Mu You found a note, quickly wrote down this string of characters, took a photo and sent it to Lin Xue, and asked about the source.
Fortunately, Lin Xue was still awake, so she replied to the message soon.
"This should be a mixed font of Arabic and Somali, which is commonly used in some countries in East Africa, such as Ethiopia and Somalia, etc..."
"Somalia?"
Looking at Lin Xue's reply, Mu You subconsciously had the stereotype of 'pirates'.
But looking at the ID taken by the other party, it seems that there is a possibility of a pirate.
Edward Jack... Is this a combination of 'Edward Teach' and 'Jack Sparrow'?
At this time, the other party has sent an invitation for a temporary session.
Muyou click to agree.
【Edward Jack: Brother, please confirm, you are the one who took the fragment just now? 】
【Lamplighter: Yes. 】
【Edward Jack: Okay, brothers, please verify your identities first, it’s not a trivial matter after all. 】
【Lamplighter: How to verify? 】
【Edward Jack took out a polygraph crystal ball. 】
【Edward Jack: This is a lie detector ball, which will automatically detect the lies around it... I'll come first. 】
【The other party said to you 'I am the owner of the shards of Dawn City, and I am not currently united with the Son of Heaven or Captain Ghost'. The crystal ball did not respond, and the other party was telling the truth. 】
【The other party handed you the crystal ball, you choose to reply...】
The typing box pops up.
After hesitating for a while, Mu You entered: I am the owner of the shard of Dawn City, and I am not currently united with any force.
【After you finished speaking, the crystal ball was still as quiet as ever, confirming that your words are true. 】
【Edward Jack: No problem! Brother, let's talk about cooperation. To tell you the truth, I have already found a partner before, and I am negotiating with the other party. You are the second. 】
【Lamplighter: How do you want to cooperate? 】
Regardless of whether the other party is a real pirate or not, at least there is no sense of recklessness in the communication. They are indeed discussing cooperation with him seriously, and Mu You doesn't mind talking to him.
【Edward Jack: Of course, sign a blood pact, put together the map, and join forces to seize Dawn City under the condition of not betraying each other! 】
【Lamplighter: Actually, I'm more curious. If you want to cooperate, why don't you go to the ghost captain or the emperor? They should be a better choice for cooperation, right? 】
【Edward Jack: Indeed, if I bring the fragments to these two great gods, there is more than half the probability that I can help them take the city, but at the same time, it also means giving up the position of the city lord. I will be the deputy city lord at most. 】
【Edward Jack: After all, we are all fragment owners. In theory, we all have a one-ninth chance of winning the city lord. In this case, you are willing to give up your qualifications as a city lord and fight for a deputy city lord. Are you willing? On the contrary, we little people are united together, at least everyone still has the chance to be the city lord. 】
[Edward Jack: Besides, these two forces are extremely powerful on the surface, and they have already regarded Dawn City as their own pockets in words, and at the same time they regard each other as the number one enemy. At that time, the two of them will fight in the dark by themselves! And this is the best opportunity for us little people: when the two great gods fight to the detriment of both sides, let's fight again and win in the chaos! 】
The other party spoke impassionedly, and what he said was quite reasonable.
【Lamplighter: Ah yes yes yes! 】
【Edward Jack: So, if brothers have no objections, let’s discuss cooperation! 】
【Lamplighter: Sign the contract directly? 】
【Edward Jack: Of course it’s not that simple. Before cooperating, we need to further confirm each other’s identities, strengths, and some details, so as to judge the final distribution of benefits...By the way, brother, what’s the number of your shards? 】
The other party was halfway through speaking, and suddenly asked a seemingly casual question.
Mu You didn’t answer, but the other party suddenly asked about the fragment number, probably because he already knew the difference between valid fragments and invalid fragments, this is to distinguish whether he is worthless...
【Lamplighter: What's your number? ] Mu You asked back.
【Edward Jack: ...Okay, how about we take turns using polygraph **** and tell the number and source of each fragment? 】
【Lamplighter: OK. 】
【Edward Jack: I'll come first... My number is No. 8, which I got by accident from the belly of a fish while fishing. The other collaborator's number is number seven, and he got it by pushing the tower and grabbing the last blow. 】
【After Jack finished speaking, the crystal ball did not respond, and the other party was telling the truth. 】
【You took the crystal ball, you are going to say...】
The text box popped up, and Mu You typed quickly: [I own the No. 2 fragment of the Dawn City map, which I bought from a certain beaver. 】
【Edward Jack:…】
Of course there is no problem with what he said, the crystal ball was not lit, and the other party sent a series of ellipsis at this time, and Mu You understood what it meant: the three of them are all invalid fragments, so there is Jill for this joint?
【Lamplighter: How about it, unite? 】
[Edward Jack: Don't worry, brother, I haven't reached an agreement with that brother yet. That brother is in Africa now, and he won't be able to get through for a while... How about this, let's find other fragment owners first, and wait until we find them The fourth person, let's discuss the details of the joint together, how about it? 】
As expected, this time the other party did not want to cooperate, because on the premise that the fragments reported by Mu You were invalid fragments, it was obviously a loss for the other party to exchange two maps for one map.
【Edward Jack: Brother, add a friend, contact us anytime if you need anything! 】
The other party sent a friend request, which means Mu You of course also understands: this is treating him as a 'spare tire', and the cooperation matter is postponed, they have to find the next target first, if the other party finds the next person, has If it is a valid fragment, then he must not be taken to play directly.
Shaking his head, Mu You clicked to agree.
【Edward Jack has become your friend. 】
It doesn't matter if this person treats him as a backup, because for Mu You, this person is also his backup.
If you can’t grab the fragments in the end, you can only reluctantly find the other party to cooperate.
After adding friends, the other party said hello, and left impatiently, as if he was afraid that Mu You would cling to him.
Mu You didn't stop him either. After the other party left, he turned around and calculated the current information.
He has 'five' and 'two' in his hand, and the pirate has 'seven' and 'eight' in his hand, plus the three fragments from the emperor's side, that is, now there are seven fragments whose ownership is clear, only The remaining two are unknown.
"Could it be, one and nine are in the hands of the emperor..."
Mu You couldn't help but think of this possibility.
If this is the case, the situation will be even more troublesome, because it means that he will have to have at least one confrontation with the emperor's forces in the future before he can grab a valid fragment.
"Let's take one step at a time..." Mu You sighed secretly, and could only let this matter go.
…
The next morning, Mu You got up early. Today is the official opening day of the pet shop.
After tidying up, Mu You went to the zoo to check the backpack. After confirming that all the animals were in good condition, he opened the shutter door.
It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet the opening time, but some tourists were already waiting at the door. Xiaoya and Lin Xue had also arrived and were accepting inquiries from some tourists at the door.
"Brother Mu!"
Mu You was just about to go over to help them, when a familiar voice came from behind.
Turning his head to look, it turned out to be Zhang Yang, Liu Chen, and those colleagues who were familiar with each other.
"Team Zhang, why are you here?" Mu You was surprised that they were all wearing the uniforms of members of the Bureau of Abnormalities.
"Haha, you are opening today. With the popularity of your few videos, I guess there will be many people coming on the first day. Why don't you ask someone to help you come to town!" Zhang Yang laughed.
"By the way, I'm taking advantage of my position to visit Brother Mu's shop!" The girl in the team covered her mouth and said quietly, "Who made it so difficult to buy tickets for your family? I couldn't get any tickets after two hours of grabbing yesterday! !"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, we are here with official business."
Zhang Yang coughed, lifted the hem of his clothes, and quietly showed Mu You something inside the clothes: "I borrowed this from the Linshi branch office last night, and I will help you maintain order."
Mu You took a look, and the description of that thing had already appeared in the Omniscient Crystal for the first time.
【Spell Blocker: After opening, it blocks all spell casting within a certain range, and it only takes effect for creatures below level 10. 】
This thing can only work against creatures below level 10, and it is useless against masters, but it is quite effective in avoiding some small conflicts when placed in a business place.
After all, for the general public, the threshold of level 10 is enough to kill 99.9% of the people, and the remaining few masters above level 10, and they are personally supervised, the workload is much easier.
"Thank you, come in!"
Mu You hurriedly greeted a few people to enter the door, and took them directly into the zoo backpack.
"Wow, such a big backpack?"
As soon as a few people entered the door, they all instinctively began to be surprised by the size of this space.
Immediately came the animals in the space.
"Lots of magical animals..."
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as in the video! So cool!"
For a while, several people were dazzled by all kinds of fantasy creatures, and they all froze at the door, forgetting to move around for a while.
"No wonder you insist on opening a pet shop. Once a shop like yours opens, anyone who is capable will definitely want to visit it. You are destined to be a hit!" Zhang Yang praised, looking thoughtfully at Mu tour.
"Haha, take a stroll first, I'll greet tourists outside." Mu You smiled and turned to leave the backpack.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Zhang Yang didn't forget that they were here to help, not to play, and handed the instrument to one of his subordinates: "Lao Liu and Xiao Zhou went to install the instrument, and the others followed me. Come to work."
A group of people immediately entered the working state.
With Zhang Yang and his helpers, it is much easier to maintain order on the scene.
Until eight o'clock in the morning, Mu You walked to the door on time and opened the door.
At this time, a large number of tourists have gathered on the street outside the door, gathering in twos and threes at the nearby snack stalls to settle breakfast. As soon as Mu You opened the door, everyone rushed over.
"Keep everyone waiting for a long time, welcome to Troll Pet Store! I won't say much, here are some precautions after entering the store: first and most important, interaction is fine, but please don't hurt Animals, the animals currently exhibited in the store are all registered protected animals, and those who intentionally harm them will bear legal responsibility. In addition, if you encounter problems during the tour, you can always contact me or any police officer from the Bureau of Disorders deal with…"
Mu You didn’t hold any ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and it wasn’t the first day of opening. After briefly explaining some rules, tourists were let in directly.
The tourists couldn't wait a long time ago. Under the guidance of Mu You and the others, they lined up to enter the pet shop one by one, all the way to the deep wall of the shop, where the door of the space backpack was placed.
Lin Xue sits behind the computer by the door and is in charge of ticket checking. Visitors who enter the door need to scan the electronic ticket on the APP to confirm that they are the guests of the corresponding session, and then they can enter the door directly.
"Brothers, we are about to enter the arena, please pay attention to those who have just arrived!"
"What? Do you want me to switch to women's clothing for live streaming? This is inappropriate, right? There are so many people watching, and there are children, the influence is not good..."
A familiar voice came, Mu You turned around and saw that it was indeed Lin Hai, holding a selfie stick and following the flow of people approaching, followed by a dozen familiar figures.
"Master, these are friends of the Business Alliance, and they are here to cheer with me!"
Following Lin Hai were Huang Zhichao, Xia Chongyubing and others, in addition to some members of the business alliance that they met at the business alliance that day.
Several people have been very interested in the pet shop described by Mu You before. After the video he posted recently became popular, they can't wait to visit it. It's a pity that most of them didn't get tickets yesterday.
Fortunately, Mu You had reserved a lot of "internal ticket" places for Lin Hai early on, and today Lin Hai brought them all here through his relationship.
Mu You naturally welcomed this. These are all network resources. After greeting each other, he personally brought them into the space.
At this time in the zoo, as a large number of tourists began to pour in, the first thing that greeted us was bursts of exclamation, amazed at the venue, and amazed at the animals full of fantasy.
Afterwards, the flow of people quickly began to diverge, and tourists flocked to those conspicuous places in the space, or the locations of the magical animals they were most interested in.
Of course, there are still a large number of people who have no specific goals and choose to follow the mainstream team and visit in order.
The closest scenic spot to the entrance is the bird house.
Everyone flocked to the glass bird house, and immediately noticed the owl with purple feathers in the tree nest in the center of the bird house.
"I know this, purple feathers, this is a wicked bird! I've seen it once in the game text, but it's the first time I've seen it in reality!" Lin Hai said to the camera.
"What is a wicked bird?" Someone in the team expressed puzzlement.
Immediately there were people who knew a little beside them, scrambling to show off their knowledge.
However, after listening to a few sentences, Mu You knew that most of the people had only a half-knowledge, and what they said was full of misleading.
"If you don't know about a certain magical animal, you can browse the animal page in the APP. After clicking on the avatar of each animal, there will be a detailed introduction." Mu You said.
Everyone raised their mobile phones and started looking for information when they heard the words, and they were surprised after a while.
"Wow, these fledgling chicks turned out to be silver owls! I thought they were the children of the witch bird..."
"The eyes of the wicked bird can actually control creatures? Why aren't we controlled?"
"Isn't it very clear in the information? The Wicked Bird will only control the creature to protect itself when it feels threatened. Now the bird house is safe enough, and of course it won't use its abilities indiscriminately..."
"It's touching, the wicked bird actually helps other birds to raise their babies. Mother's love is so great..."
While everyone was discussing, the wicked bird in the glass room was taking mealworms in its mouth with painstaking efforts, and flew back to the nest to feed the three little silver owls who were waiting to be fed.
This touching picture caused many people to raise their mobile phones to take pictures.
However, before the tourists were touched for a long time, they suddenly saw the flying direction of the witch bird, and landed on a nearby tree trunk. Jump to the bird's nest in the tree trunk, and reach out to steal the bird's eggs.
"Chirp!"
I didn’t want to be at this moment, a colorful bird suddenly appeared from the tree trunk next to it, screaming frantically, flapping its wings desperately, and launched an attack on the wicked bird that was several times bigger than it.
The Wicked Bird may have a guilty conscience, and did not fight back after being discovered. It hurriedly put down the eggs and fled, and flew back to its nest, trimming its feathers, like a bird that has nothing to do.
This scene stunned everyone outside the bird house.
The bird that appeared suddenly, everyone also quickly got the information from the APP: the color-changing bird has the ability similar to that of a chameleon. It doesn't exist.
For example, just now, this color-changing bird has fooled all the tourists, and it has also fooled the **** bird, which led to the fact that the **** bird stole eggs was caught face to face.
The emotions that everyone had accumulated just now dissipated more than half of them.
The mother bird is still alive, so Ning ran to steal eggs blatantly, Ning's maternal love is a little twisted...
And looking at the proficient posture of the color-changing bird, it is obviously not the first time it has been stolen. Everyone can already imagine how many times the two birds have fought wits and courage for this nest of eggs during the time they couldn't see.
