This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

"Cooperate..."

Mu You raised his eyebrows, but he didn't resist, 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 they meet? 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 be so troublesome, he directly stored the other fragment in the vampire's tomb.

Afterwards, 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 slayer, 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 repairing, all the valuable things in this ruins have been removed, and the only thing left is the broken walls 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. 】

【After zero o'clock, you arrived near the former site of the wizard tower as agreed. 】

[The war eagle hovered above your head, and you soon saw a figure under a broken wall in front of you in the dark night...]

Mu You didn't rush over, let the war eagle circle around first.

After confirming that no one else was in ambush nearby, he manipulated the character to appear and walk away.

【You walked out of the darkness and approached the other party until you stopped ten meters in front of the other party. 】

[At this point, you have already seen the ID above the opponent's head: Edward Jack (level 15)]

Level 15, and it's 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 the string of characters, took a photo and sent it to Lin Xue, and asked about the source.

Fortunately, Lin Xue was not asleep yet, so she quickly replied to the message.

"This should be a mixed font of Arabic and Somali. Some countries in East Africa are more commonly used, such as Ethiopia and Somalia, etc..."

"Somalia?"

Mu You looked at Lin Xue's reply, and subconsciously came up with the stereotype of 'pirate' in his mind.

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.

Mu You clicked to agree.

【Edward Jack: Brother, please confirm, are you the one who took the fragments just now? 】

[Lamplighter: Yes. 】

[Edward Jack: Alright, brothers, please verify your identities first, it's not a trivial matter after all. 】

[Lamplighter: How to verify? 】

[Edward Jack takes out a polygraph crystal ball. 】

[Edward Jack: This is a polygraph ball, it 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 two forces of 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 a little hesitation, Mu You entered: I am the owner of the fragment 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: That's 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 was a real pirate or not, at least there was no sense of recklessness in the communication. They were indeed seriously discussing cooperation with him, and Mu You didn't mind talking to him.

[Edward Jack: Of course, sign a blood pact, put together the map, and join hands 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 the two great gods, there is a more than half chance that I can help them take the city, but it also means giving up the position of city lord, and I will be the deputy city lord at most. 】

[Edward Jack: We are all shard owners anyway. In theory, we all have a one-ninth chance of winning the city lord. In this case, are you willing to completely give up your qualifications as a city lord and fight for a deputy city lord? 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 we cooperate, 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? 】

Halfway through the conversation, the other party suddenly asked a seemingly casual question.

Mu You didn't answer, but the other party suddenly asked about the fragment number, most likely because he already knew the difference between valid fragments and invalid fragments, this is to distinguish whether he is valuable...

[Lamplighter: What's your number? ] Mu You asked back.

【Edward Jack: ...Okay, how about we take turns using polygraph balls and tell the number and source of each fragment? 】

[Lamplighter: Yes. 】

[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, the other party was telling the truth. 】

【You took the crystal ball, you are going to say...】

A 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 invalid fragments, 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. How about having a fourth person, and let's discuss the details of the joint together? 】

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 agree.

【Edward Jack has become your friend. 】

It doesn't matter if this person treats him as a backup, because to Mu You, this person is also his backup.

If you can't get 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.

But in this way, the probability of 'one' and 'nine' existing in the remaining two unknown fragments does not seem to be high...

"Could it be, one and nine are in the hands of the emperor..."

Mu You couldn't help thinking 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, and today is the official opening day of the pet shop.

After tidying up, Mu You went to the zoo to check the backpack, and 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!"

Just as Mu You was about to go over to help them, a familiar voice came from behind.

Looking back, it turned out to be Zhang Yang, Liu Chen, and those colleagues who were familiar with each other.

"Captain Zhang, why are you here?" Mu You was surprised, they were all wearing the uniforms of members of the Bureau of Abnormalities.

"Haha, you're 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 check out Brother Mu's store!" The girl in the team covered her mouth and said quietly, "Who made it so difficult to buy tickets for your house? 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 in 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 shielding device: After opening, it shields all spellcasting 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 for the few remaining experts above level 10, the workload will be much easier if they personally take care of them.

"Thank you, come in!"

Mu You hurriedly greeted a few people to come in, and took them directly into the zoo backpack.

"Wow, such a big backpack?"

As soon as they entered the door, they all instinctively started to be surprised by the size of this space.

Then came the animals in the space.

"A lot 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 go outside to greet tourists." 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 the help of Zhang Yang and the others, it was much easier to maintain order at 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 their 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 ceremony, 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. At this time, 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 tickets on the APP to confirm that they are the guests of the corresponding session, and then they can enter the door directly.

"Brothers, it's time to enter the venue, all those who just arrived pay attention!"

"What? Do you want me to switch to women's clothing for live streaming? It's not appropriate, so many people are watching, and there are children, the influence is not good..."

A familiar voice came, Mu You looked back, and 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 behind 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.

A few people were very interested in the pet shop Mu You described before, and after the video he posted recently became popular, they couldn't wait to visit it, but unfortunately 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 ushered in 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 a wave of knowledge.

However, after listening to a few words, Mu You knew that most people only had 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 profile picture of each animal, there will be a detailed introduction." Mu You said.

After hearing the words, everyone raised their mobile phones and began to search for information. After a while, they were surprised again and again.

"Wow, these fledgling chicks turned out to be silver owls! I thought they were the children of the Witchbird..."

"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 biological self-protection 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 and flying 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 tree trunk next to it. Jump to the bird's nest in the tree trunk, and reach out to steal the bird's eggs.

"Chirp!"

Unexpectedly, 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, which was several times bigger than it.

And the wicked bird may have been 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 room.

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, the color-changing bird had fooled all the tourists, and it had also fooled the wretch bird, which led to the fact that the wretch bird was caught face-to-face.

The emotion that everyone had accumulated just now dissipated more than half of it.

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.
