Another Life: Elf Archer

In the end, only half of the five ships planned to be launched at the end of the year were used.

Although Feng Yacun came with more than 60 people, Shaowu finally selected only eight players to board the ship with her to continue exploring the trade route.

After learning that Feng Yacun actually planned to move the entire guild to Beitai City, Shi Sui also redistributed the guild personnel. Except for the necessary arrangements outside the pass, the excess personnel have gradually returned to the hinterland of China. .

With the first batch of players "sitting back and enjoying the success", Beitai City gradually became lively. After all, building a fully functional city is not a matter of one or two days, nor is it a matter of one or two tasks.

Although the players who arrived later have permanently missed the head-to-head confrontation with the demons, and also missed the opportunity to gain favor with the bosses of various sects face to face, missions with rich content and generous rewards are still being sent out from the Demon-Conquering Palace in a steady stream, and they are waiting quietly. Hardworking player.

With the added experience of fighting against the demons and sharing the hardships, most of the players in Xingtianxia have significantly improved their reputations in their respective sects, and as a result, they are less interested in the upcoming mission of exploring alien lands.

It has been known to many people that the Chinese cultivation forces regard the elves as monsters, and their attitude towards the dwarves is not very friendly. As a result, the two territories on the back of the snow-capped mountains lack more practical information. Attractive, it is better to wait for the vanguard to conduct an on-site inspection and determine whether the forces on both sides of the snow mountain are enemies or friends, and then everyone can enjoy the fruits of victory.

This was also the explanation given by Shi Sui, the president of Xingtianxia, ​​and therefore reduced the number of members of the vanguard by half.

But in the eyes of insiders, the apparent alienation and indifference between the president and Lord Songqing, Songqing's positive enthusiasm for exploring the New World, and the happy conversation between Songqing and Young Master Yan behind closed doors all made people feel that this The guild named "Xing Tianxia" probably wants to rule the world.

At this point, the team heading to the elven territory of Gaia continent has finally been finalized:

There are 50 people in Xingtianxia; nine people in the Christmas Clown mercenary group; nine people in Feng Yacun; a total of 16 people in the envoy Songqing and his guards; and 15 people in Qilong Village.

After taking inventory of the personnel composition every year, I only felt that the superficial and actual divisions were simply two completely different results. I couldn't help but sigh that Song Qing's concealment of his identity was simply a stroke of genius.

But no matter how you calculate it, the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group is neutral, and that's enough.

There were not many people, and it was more than enough to divide them into three boats. It was not too cramped to squeeze into two boats. In the end, based on the superficial relationship, Xingtian took one boat, and the remaining few people shared one, and slowly sailed into the darkness. of underground waterways.

Except for the darkness, the two ships never encountered any obstacles in their progress, not even a fork in the road or a sharp bend. The creatures they occasionally encountered turned into rare river delicacies and were eaten by some brave players. Entered the stomach.

Niannian and Qi Youfeng were hiding in a corner on the deck. When they heard the noise in the cabin, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect these bandits and Sister Wu's people to get along so well."

"We are not coy people. The main reason is that they can't sit still. These two families are the only ones who can get together on this ship." Qi Youfeng replied, holding Guo Nian's waist and letting her lean against it. In his arms.

Song Qing's guards are all NPCs and do not belong to the same world. The people in the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group are too "cold". After being warned several times by Qi Youfeng in private, no one tried to challenge these people's fiery temperament. side.

"But it was too noisy. Nick and the others wanted to change boats and follow them alone. After all, Kraft also has a boat." Nian Nian rubbed his ears.

Dion stayed here for a while, then found an excuse to jump onto Xingtianxia's boat and went to find the young lady to do some quiet exercise.

Qi Youfeng did not object: "It seems there will be no danger along the way. We can change ships alone."

Nian Nian rolled her eyes at him, muttered something, and squeezed Qi Youfeng's arm hard.

What she was talking about was that Nick and the others wanted to change ships, but how come this person said it was just the two of them changing ships? As soon as she heard it, she knew she had bad intentions.

"It hurts, it hurts, I didn't say anything," Qi Youfeng rubbed his arm pitifully and joked, "Maybe you are overthinking?"

Nian Nian raised her hand to pull his mouth, but Qi Youfeng grabbed her and twisted her behind her. This familiar scene immediately made Nian Nian blush, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

"Look, you're overthinking it again," Qi Youfeng laughed softly in her ear, his warm breath blowing across her cheeks, and an electric tingle ran down her back.

Nian Nian was about to jump up and run away, but Qi Youfeng, who was well prepared, pulled him into his arms, broke away without much force, and warned: "In public, no nonsense is allowed."

Qi Youfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand and scratched her nose: "Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't dare."

Nian Nian Deng was so angry that he chased his fingers and tried to bite them.What do you mean, even if she thinks about what she thinks?

Young Master Yan waited in the shadows for a while, watching the two unobtrusive guys, his arms were sore from shaking, and finally he couldn't help but cover his mouth with a fan, and coughed lightly to alert them that he was coming.Already here.

Niannian took another bite of Qi Youfeng's palm, then put it down and rubbed it in his own hand, and played with his fingers.

"What's the matter?" Nian Nian asked, her face not red and her heart not beating, as if she was just looking at the scenery just now, but Qi Youfeng felt a sense of embarrassment from the intensity with which she fiddled with her fingers.

"It seems to be too safe along the way. I want to remind you not to be too cautious." Young Master Yan paused and said, "Relax your vigilance."

"Isn't it good to be safe?" Nian Nian asked with a smile and advised, "Don't worry too much, there shouldn't be any danger before we dock."

"How can you be sure?" Young Master Yan couldn't help but ask.

I thought about it every year: "Because I have spoilers"

"What?" Young Master Yan didn't hear clearly.

"Although this guy always cheats people, especially me," Nian Nian gritted his teeth and continued, "but he probably didn't lie about this. It's safe here, at least this waterway is safe."

"This is what Simil told you." Only then did Qi Youfeng know where Niannian's confidence in this path came from, and he couldn't help but have doubts. "He doesn't seem to tell the truth. You'd better not be too gullible."

For example, Simil said before that he was an ordinary player, but after experiencing that magical camp ritual, Qi Youfeng expressed strong doubts about the authenticity of this statement.

"What you said makes sense," Nian Nian nodded, agreeing very much, "But I still feel that at least he didn't lie about this. After all, the quest line is so long, and the players must be given a chance to breathe and relax."

"Why?" Both Gongzi Yan and Qi Youfeng heard the deep meaning of these words.

"The hinterland of our elves," Nian Nian sighed, "also has dragons."

At least for the people in this team, the probability of encountering the dragon is absolutely [-]%.

"Like a giant western dragon or a big lizard" Young Master Yan was surprised, but not timid.

"Anyway, it's not the same as the dragon here," Nian Ni recalled the black dragon she saw in Four Seasons Valley. "It's different in every way, maybe not that powerful."

"Yeah." Young Master Yan was confused. Why did it sound like he had seen other dragons every year?

"You'll know it when you see it. There are quite a few of us here and we are all masters. Don't worry too much." Qi Youfeng took over the topic.

"In this case, I won't disturb you anymore," Young Master Yan said, but didn't move. He looked at Nian Nian but hesitated, "Nian Nian, you"

"What?" asked Nian Nian, looking at Qi Youfeng.She remembered the two men chatting privately for a while.

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand," Young Master Yan waved his hands quickly, "He didn't say anything without your consent, just because of that brother's matter."

"Well, I seem to be a copy of someone," Nian Nian paused briefly before changing his words, "I don't think I am a copy of someone else's personality, but there should be some parameter connections."

"If you need it, I can check it for you." Young Master Yan breathed a sigh of relief.It would be much easier to admit it to himself every year, and it would prevent him from seeming to be meddling in his own business.

"What are you trying to find out? I know who that person is." Nian Nian was puzzled.

"It's not just," Young Master Yan considered, "no matter how complex and intelligent the data is, it is also data. Like an object, it will have the right of ownership."

"You mean, I, I have a master." Nian Nian's eyes widened.

"It's not this kind of relationship. It's just that," Young Master Yan sighed, "the person who created you, or someone else, always has someone who can modify or delete the data."

"What about after it's found out?" Niannian couldn't help but ask, holding Qi Youfeng's hand tightly.

"If you don't have any objections" Young Master Yan looked at Qi Youfeng.

"I refuse." Qi Youfeng couldn't help but said, stopping Young Master Yan from saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but if you do this, the nature of everything will change, and I am not a very selfless and great person."

Every year shouldn't be an item that belongs to him, and he can't guarantee that one day in the future, he will make any irreparable "modifications" to every year in order to save himself from regrets.

"Can't we let Nian Nian decide his own affairs?" Qi Youfeng frowned. This topic made him feel very uncomfortable.

"I'll try my best. There should be a way." Young Master Yan couldn't say.

Some gaps are an insurmountable curse, surrounded by technological creations that are becoming increasingly omnipotent and omnipotent, and humans increasingly refuse to grant these inorganic substances the same status and rights as themselves.

Letting Niannian decide his own affairs is basically equivalent to admitting that this kind of artificial intelligence has the same human rights as humans.

I'm afraid this is not a technical problem.

"It doesn't matter," Nian Nian suddenly laughed, "This person hasn't cared about me for so long, so he probably doesn't take me seriously."

Young Master Yan smiled bitterly: "Even if he did something to you, you yourself don't know it."

"But Nick and the others never mentioned that I had it." Nian Nian thought of what Nick had mentioned to her, the scene when the two "met for the first time".

Yes, if Nick hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that the two of them might have met before.

"Don't worry too much," Young Master Yan said with relief, "I guess this person won't interfere too much with you. After all, if he changes your personality or appearance overnight, it would be too conspicuous."

Unless this person is not worried at all that Nian Nian will expose her non-player identity, nor does she care about Nian Nian's relationship with the people around her.

This kind of person who does not pay attention to the feelings of "others" will definitely not be able to create such lively and lovely girls every year.

"Check it out, think of it as an insurance measure. After all, for a family like mine, it's just a piece of cake." Young Master Yan smiled easily and waved his fan proudly.

"I heard someone mentioned before that a kid from a shareholder's family was playing games. It turned out to be you."

Under the dim light, an inconspicuous pool of water flowed from the side of the ship to the deck, condensing and twisting into a human shape.

"Everyone, long time no see"

Simil smiled and waved to the three of them.
