Chapter 170: On the Eve of the Great Battle (Part 1)
"Ajiu!" Zhao Yuxin looked at him with a nervous expression, and Sun Zi Fu Fu also stopped in their tracks.
Zhu Zhiquan: "Rest assured, I have my own sense of proportion. No matter how you look at it, we are outsiders, and our strength isn't particularly outstanding, so of course I won't go looking for them to settle scores directly!"
Hearing that Zhu Zhiquan was not going to his death, Zhao Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said: "Ajiu, are you sure you can find out?"
Zhu Zhiquan: "……………"
"Hee hee~ Alright Ajiu, you go back first. Ling-jie and I will walk around nearby." As Zhao Yuxin said this, she took Ling Xi's arm and walked elsewhere.
After they left, Sun Zi put his arm around Zhu Zhiquan's shoulder and said: "Brother, want to go? Back to the vehicle for a drink?"
Zhu Zhiquan ignored Sun Zi entirely and headed straight back to the carriage to play with Xuebao.
"Sigh~ Forget it, I'll just go back and drink with Zhuangzhuang." Saying this, Sun Zi returned to the carriage to drink.
One hour later, Zhao Yuxin returned to the carriage, holding a large bag of things in her hand, with some food residue still on the corners of her mouth.
She said enthusiastically: "Ajiu, Xuebao, there's going to be a potluck with the natives in a bit. Do you want to go eat together? I'm telling you, the food here is delicious!"
Upon hearing there was good food, Xuebao immediately jumped around excitedly, sticking to Zhao Yuxin and panting continuously.
Zhu Zhiquan asked with a calm expression: "Besides knowing there's a potluck event later, did you and Ling Xi find out any information?"
"We did." Zhao Yuxin stroked Xuebao's head and said, "This city was formed by the merger of multiple villages and has had the experience of destroying giant nests three times.
Also, there are many people here who have killed Magma Cave generals, so I think it shouldn't be like the last village, where one expert was surrounded by multiple Magma Cave generals."
Zhu Zhiquan nodded, but he still harbored a grudge about that Patrol Team, and immediately asked: "Did you inquire about those guys who offended you earlier? What are their titles?"
Zhao Yuxin: "Why are you asking about this?"
Zhu Zhiquan: "Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to find them."
Zhao Yuxin: "Really? Then swear it!"
Zhu Zhiquan: "Fine, fine, fine, I swear I definitely won't go looking for trouble with them."
Zhao Yuxin: "When the conflict with them happened, I heard from the heckling crowd that they were from the Patrol Team, and most of them have unlocked a Transcendental Profession."
Zhu Zhiquan: "Then did you ask specifically which detachment they belong to?"
Zhao Yuxin: "Oh my~ Why are you asking in such detail? Don't forget you promised me you wouldn't go looking for trouble with them. You're a grown man, you can't go back on your word!"
Zhu Zhiquan: "Fine, fine, fine, I won't ask, I won't ask."
Zhao Yuxin: "By the way, I just said there's a potluck with the natives later, you still haven't answered whether you're going or not!"
After thinking for a moment while resting his chin in his hand, Zhu Zhiquan decided to go to the native potluck event.
"Alright then, I'll go tell Ling-jie first." Zhao Yuxin happily headed toward the Sun Zi Fu Fu's Tricycle to notify them.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the location of the potluck. At this time, one could see that not only had more free players arrived, but multiple Player Groups had also brought their respective confidants to pick out spots.
However, most players were relatively well-behaved, and the few who weren't were dealt with by the local guards.
Zhao Yuxin exclaimed: "Wow! There are so many people! Ajiu, where should we sit?"
Sun Zi took a sip of wine and said: "Sit anywhere, just don't sit with people we have a grudge against."
Zhao Yuxin looked around, then pointed in one direction and said: "Ajiu, look, isn't that the Luo Family Brothers? It just so happens we can sit at a table with them."
Everyone looked in the direction Zhao Yuxin pointed and discovered that Luo Jincheng and Luo Jinrui were sitting at a large round table, and there was no one else in the remaining seats.
The others had no objections, so they walked toward the table of the Luo Family Brothers.
"Hi! Prophet, do you mind if we share a table!" Zhao Yuxin hopped behind Luo Jincheng and asked.
"Damn! You guys almost scared me to death!" Luo Jincheng didn't react at all to Zhao Yuxin's sudden appearance and just calmly drank his tea, whereas Luo Jinrui was the one startled.
Zhao Yuxin teased: "What's the matter, I scared your brother, why were you the one startled? Look at your brother, he's as steady as an old dog here. It's like you calculated we would come early, right?"
Luo Jincheng put down his teacup and said seriously: "First of all, I am a Diviner, not a Prophet! Secondly, your footsteps were too loud, I didn't need to calculate that."
During their exchange, Sun Zi Fu Fu had already pulled Zhu Zhiquan, Xuebao, and Zhuangzhuang to sit at the table.
Luo Jinrui didn't say anything when he saw them sit down, but just asked Zhao Yuxin how many more people they had.
After hearing this, Zhao Yuxin counted on her fingers and said: "Besides us, I also called Li Yue and Huang Jing. Sigh~ Ling-jie, did you guys call anyone?"
While they were chatting happily, Zhu Zhiquan was looking around nervously, sweat dripping from his head, as if there were some danger here.
Zhao Yuxin noticed Zhu Zhiquan's anomaly while chatting and sent a private message: "Ajiu, what's wrong? Did you discover a problem somewhere?"
After reading the content Zhao Yuxin sent, Zhu Zhiquan replied: "No, it's just that there are too many people here, I feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Yuxin covered her mouth and giggled, then replied: "Hee hee~ Don't be afraid, we'll go straight back once we finish eating."
Zhu Zhiquan did not respond after reading the message, sitting upright in his seat, waiting for the potluck event to begin.
Amidst everyone's conversation, the potluck event officially began. Dish after dish was brought to the table, and as soon as Xuebao and Zhuangzhuang, these two ice-cream cacti, saw the table full of dishes, they immediately started their sweeping mode.
Then they were treated like their own mothers by Zhao Yuxin and Ling Xi, while the men clinked glasses and teased each other.
Of course, except for Zhu Zhiquan, because of his social anxiety, he would at most raise his glass when it was necessary to drink, and the rest of the time he would either eat quietly or find an excuse to go out for some air.
As the event progressed, more and more players arrived at the scene to join in. And in the very center of the banquet, a giant figure was floating in the air.
Li Yue and Huang Jing, who had just arrived, hadn't even sat down before they stood back up, staring intently at that giant phantom.
Just as all the players were puzzled, that phantom spoke slowly: "Friends of Jiading Cheng, and players, hello.
I am the City Lord of this generation, Ma Lailaiyin. I am very happy to meet everyone here."
Many players saw the City Lord's phantom appear and began discussing it privately.
At this time, Ma Lailaiyin continued: "I know the doubts you players have, such as what your ultimate fate is, and how we distinguish that you are players.
But these are not important. What is important is that our city is going to migrate to another place, and you players must reach the ground by tomorrow.
So please forget everything. When our Jiading Cheng main force goes to attack the nest tomorrow, I hope you can extend a helping hand..."
Ma Lailaiyin spoke at length, and after promising the many players numerous benefits, he slowly disappeared.
