Virtual World: Close Combat Mage
chapter-879

Drifting seemed to be trying to change the topic, but how could he not understand that this was not some trivial joke that he could easily get away with. He looked around as if he was looking for Gu Fei, but he was actually looking around to see if anyone was paying attention to him and sword demon.

Fortunately, most of the people in this room were already drunk, so how could those who were not drunk bear to stay with a room full of drunkards? They all ran out to get some fresh air. Drifting turned his gaze back to sword demon. It was only now that he realized that sword demon had been hinting at something when he said, “As long as people are still in the game, there’s a chance for them to obtain any equipment.”At the time, he had not been able to read between the lines.

After drifting swept his gaze across the room, he turned his gaze back to sword demon, who had been staring at him the entire time. Drifting took a deep breath and said, “Tell me, I want to see if your guess is correct.”Drifting knew that sword demon was not someone who liked to bluff, he was someone who liked to play tricks on each other. If he said that he saw it, then he really saw it. Of course, drifting knew that he was afraid of being seen, but “Seeing”was not enough for him to fully understand the entire process. It naturally required a lot of deductions, and drifting wanted to hear sword demon’s deductions.

“You have a connection with someone in the Eagle Legion. This person knows our plan, and he helped you make preparations. He marked the items you need or the items you need and placed them somewhere in the warehouse. He has, of course, clearly described this location to you. “That’s why, the moment we teleported into the warehouse, you immediately went to retrieve these items and then casually handed over some other items. These items are your main objective. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this part, right?”Sword Demon asked.

“There’s nothing wrong with it.”Drifting nodded.

“Think about it further. Your Plan might have been in the works since a long time ago. That teleportation portal scroll of yours might have been specially designed to carry out a plan like this. “Our fight with Inge’s workshop happened to give you an opportunity, so you spared no effort in trying to facilitate this plan. “Even after I refused, you even took the risk of looking for old cloud to cooperate. “Is this bag of items very important?”Sword Demon asked.

Drifting smiled. “It’s not important. I just want it.”

Sword demon nodded. “The person you’re working with is a member of the Eagle Group. They often enter and leave these warehouses, but they still need to use this method. It seems that Inge is also very careful about the sensitive warehouses. The members of the Eagle Group Always Act in groups, which in itself is a form of mutual supervision. “It’s not easy for him to find a partner internally, because if the other party refuses, it would be exposing himself.”

“This logic is similar to how I went to look for Old Cloud, which is why you said that I was taking a risk by looking for old cloud,”drifting said.

Sword demon nodded. “It seems that my deduction isn’t wrong?”

“That’s right,”drifting readily admitted. Sword Demon was not a fool, and he was careful enough to realize that he was not surprised at all.

“As for the reason, I don’t think I need to ask. You’ve already said that you want it,”sword demon said.

Drifting nodded. “We both get what we want.”

“You’re not thinking of selling it for money, are you?”Sword Demon asked.

“Of course not,”drifting said. “I’m here to play the game, not to make money.”

“So your partner is here for money? If he’s here, even if he gets his hands on the equipment and scrolls, it won’t be convenient for him to use them!”Sword Demon said.

“That’s right.”

“He’s not even in any danger of being exposed after he sneaks into our operation to do this. As for the items that are missing, arch will only blame it on us. He won’t suspect anything else,”sword demon said.

“That’s indeed what he originally thought, but...”drifting smiled wryly as he spoke, he glanced at a certain guy in the room who had been drinking non-stop. “He didn’t expect that the way we throw our equipment would be so transparent. The number of items we throw can even be accurately calculated by the players on the forums. “That guy didn’t set up such a way to make things lively, did he? “There’s only one party that can truly control the true number of items we take out, and that’s The Amazing Workshop.”

Sword demon nodded. He understood drifting’s meaning. 774? This number was their own statistics, but it might not be true. If someone held one or two items and did not hand them in, then it would not be true. In comparison, after the workshop took stock of the warehouse, they could calculate how many items had been robbed.

“This guy’s way of doing things has caused the players to conduct a human flesh search and take stock. In addition to the workshop’s verification, when everyone takes out their data and touches our 774 data, those who hid their equipment and did not hand them in, or those who took their equipment and did not throw it away later, are very likely to be exposed! “This fellow seems to be saying that he doesn’t care about the hidden equipment, but he’s actually testing everyone in secret!”Drifting said.

Sword demon naturally knew who this ‘fellow’drifting was referring to was. He was more familiar with young master Han than drifting was, but it was clear that his way of thinking was not the same as these sinister people, so he did not notice young master Han’s intentions. Now that drifting had given him a suggestion, he was immediately certain that young master Han was capable of doing such a thing, and the possibility of him doing so was very high. The scattered distribution of equipment was merely a fetter on the surface for everyone, but there was actually a way to secretly monitor the situation. This was indeed young master Han’s style.

It was just that this sort of statistical check was still a little unreliable. How could those Lucky 774 players honestly reveal the truth? It was more likely that the Intrepid workshop had reported the number a little higher and accused them of being heaven-defying and hiding their equipment under the guise of throwing it away? This method seemed a little crude to verify whether 774 was real or fake. However, there did not seem to be any other better method.

Sword Demon was at a loss. He had always been a firm believer of his friends, yet young master Han was the complete opposite of him in this regard. Young Master Han had once said that he only “Believed for the sake of believing”. Sword Demon did not refute this. He actually understood that his belief was a little unrealistic, but he still did it sincerely. He believed that no one would hide their equipment, yet young master Han was still testing this matter. Sword Demon did not wish to see the answer to this question. He even realized that he felt that this sort of examination was not reliable, as if he was trying to justify the possibility of an answer appearing. Given the current strength of the People’s flesh search on the Internet, the conclusion that they had come up with in the end was more reliable. Young Master Han’s method was still more effective.

Drifting did not know that sword demon had actually thought so much here, still, he continued, “But at the very least, we know that the number 774 is real. At the very least, after the studio’s inventory, they’ve probably realized that the real number is greater than the number 774. I’m referring to the situation where the number 774 has no hands or legs.”

“Do you think that your friend will be exposed under such circumstances?”Sword Demon asked.

“If it were under normal circumstances, ying Qi would naturally think that we’re hiding a portion of it, so the data doesn’t match up. “However, if Ying Qi knows us well enough and is even certain that we won’t do such a thing, then the risk of him being exposed will be very high,”drifting said.

“What about reality?”

“Reality. We’ve heard of the eternal story. He’s an old friend who is familiar with you and young master Han. Even though our actions were mostly planned by young master Han, it was your will, boss sword demon, that truly guided our actions. You said that you would throw it away, yet you hid a part of it. This is clearly not your personality, Boss Sword Demon, and you will always know this. Thus, Ying Qi was probably as certain as us of our strategy. The only thing left was the same suspicion that we had now: whether someone had secretly done something to it. If English was careful, I think they would have also thought that our people might have done something to it, but their people might have the same possibility,”drifting said.

Sword demon let out a long sigh. “You’ve thought of all this. You can also get the data on 774 from US first-hand. It seems that your friend has already made a proper cover-up?”

“To be honest, it won’t be easy. He originally hoped that he could hide it forever, but young master Han’s plan of tossing it out has caused too many voices and discussions, so he might have to change his plans,”drifting said.

“What About You? What plans do you have?”To be honest, sword demon did not really care much about the matter regarding heroic spirit or Eagle Legion.

“Me? My Plan is to hear what you plan to do, Boss Sword Demon,”drifting said.

“I don’t quite understand you,”sword demon said.

“Of course, that’s because you and I are not the same kind of people,”drifting said. “You believe in friends, value relationships, and are loyal to each other. I’m different from you.”

“What About You?”Sword Demon asked.

“Me... I’m a super selfish guy. I play the game just to entertain myself and do everything I can to achieve my goals. That’s the only way I’ll feel happy.”

“You don’t need friends?”

“Friends? I take everyone as friends. But compared to feeling happy about myself, friends are just secondary to me,”drifting said.

“It seems that we are indeed different,”sword demon said.

“Indeed.”

“Then, what’s next...”

“It depends on your decision. Do you want me to leave, stay, or not let me walk out of this door?”Drifting said.

Sword demon laughed. “You’d better leave! How long can you stay if you want to stay? If I wanted to kill you, it would be more like I was venting my anger on behalf of Yingqi. I’m a little reluctant to part with such a Righteous Act. “However, don’t even think about us reimbursing you for your scroll money. You’re still making use of us, and it’s not free.”

“Hahaha, well said.”Drifting was also laughing. There were no seats in the room to begin with, so everyone was standing. Thus, he did not need to stand up elegantly and turned to leave. He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. He turned to sword demon and said, “Yingqi won’t give up just like that. They seem to have some sort of plan, and they’re even waiting for us to do this. You guys should keep an eye out for them!”

“Thank you. I Won’t send you off.”

“There’s no need to send me off. Perhaps we’ll run into each other again on one of these missions one day.”Drifting left with a smile.
