Chapter 39: Disclosure

The guard in the Leader’s eyes still didn’t let go, but he agreed: “Okay, as long as you promise not to shoot, otherwise we are not vegetarians.”

Lu Jiu smiled kindly: “Of course, we will abide by what you have said. After all, there are only three of us.”

The Leader thinks about it too, there were more than a dozen of them, and there were only three on Lu Jiu’s side.

The Leader returned to the team and told his teammates about it. The other dozen people listened to the leader’s words, looked at them, and nodded slowly after a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Jiu turned around and discussed with the two: “If they ask which city we are from and what the situation is like there, we better not tell nonsense, they might tell the truth.”

“To be honest, I didn’t know who the owner of Xuantian City was. It was difficult for us to contact other city-states. This time I came to Jinghe District mainly because this is where I originally lived.”

“What if they ask about the boss?” Zhuang Yun asked. After all, they all know the chickens were here, so it would be bad if those people asked them but they didn’t say anything.

Lu Jiu suggested: “Let’s just say that we have seen the boss from a distance, but not up close.”

“Wait for Lu Jiu’s main answer, we just agree. She will be the main focus.” Shen Jufeng said. Originally, Lu Jiu was the city lord, so of course, she was the boss.

“Okay.” Zhuang Yun has been working in society for many years, and he still has some insight.

In the team of three of them, Shen Jufeng has a prominent temperament, which was the kind of temperament he saw in the leaders when he was working before. He did decide some things in the team.

But the real decision-making core was still Lu Jiu, no matter what Shen Jufeng decides, Lu Jiu has to nod.

Although the two of them are cooperating, they mainly rely on Lu Jiu.

The few people had just finished chatting, and all the team members over there also came over. This time, the leader looked a little more relaxed: “Since we are destined to meet you, why don’t you camp with our team for a night’s rest.”

Lu Jiu and the others agreed and understood that these people wanted to get close to them and ask for news.

They have the same purpose.

As night fell, a group of people lit a bonfire, and everyone dispersed into a circle around the bonfire.

At this moment, Lu Jiu learned that this team was from the nearest city-state. Their leader was Xiang Yangping, a man in his thirties. He was a soldier by profession. Everyone on the team calls him Team Leader Xiang.

According to Team Leader Xiang, these two chickens were farmed by the four city-states in turn, and they were the third. Although there was a lot of chicken meat, most of them were only traded within the city.

As for them all being the team of the city lord, some of the city lords in Jinghe District did conceal information, but there were only two of them. Compared with the more than 20 city-states in Jinghe District, they were indeed rare.

The team observed Lu Jiu and the others for a while and felt that the three people had clear eyes, and they looked pretty good.

“Which city-state did you come from, and how is the situation there?”

Hearing Team Leader Xiang finally asked about this information, Lu Jiu’s expression remained unchanged: “We are not from Jinghe District but from Jinjiang District. Because my friend originally lived in this district, we wanted to come and see .”

The team paused. He thought that these three people came from other city-states in Jinghe District, but he never thought that they would be from other districts.

“Is Jinjiang District the same as ours?” It was the first time he saw someone coming from other districts since the world was gamified.

“We didn’t go to too many city-states. There are four city-states close to us. You must have heard one of them, it’s the phantom city, now an empty city.”

Team Leader Xiang and others all nodded. Everyone in the city knew about the Phantom City. This also sounded like a wake-up call to the city owners of other city-states. That they shouldn’t think about oppressing ordinary residents.

“We are from Xuantian City. The city lord has concealed his information. The living environment in the city is good and relatively free.” Lu Jiu quietly advertised her city-state.

A girl in the team who had a gossiping face stretched her head towards Lu Jiu and the others and said: “Xuantian City, I know, they say that the city lord over there is unknown, and when the black pig boss in Jinjiang District was shot for the second time, it was done by the people from Xuantian City.”

Zhuang Yun started murmuring in his head: It’s us, the person who killed the boss sitting in front of you.

Lu Jiu’s face didn’t change as she continued to talk nonsense: “Yes, we don’t know who did it, anyway, those people sold the pork to restaurants in the city-state.”

This game world can’t check other people’s personal information. The people in the city don’t know that they were the ones who did it, so the three divided the rewards silently.

Old Man Zeng and his grandson knew about it, but they were very discerning. They didn’t mention the pork to outsiders, let alone take the meat outside.

Team Leader Xiang nodded, “We are also going to hand it over to the city lord, but everyone can keep some for themselves, so we can only share some for you.” After all, they all agreed, and it was not a loss to stabilize the three of them.

Even if there were only three of them, if they make trouble, it will be very annoying.

It hasn’t been long since the world changed drastically, and these three people dare to come here from Jinjiang District, and there was no guarantee that they were not killers.

“It’s okay, we just want to try something new.” Lu Jiu was cheerful, and then changed the topic, “But I’m curious, you can kill this boss, won’t other teams in the city feel unwilling?”

After all, the number of BOSS was scarce, and the refresh rate was not fast.

“The city lord has negotiated with them. We don’t know the details, but it seems that after this time, the teams will compete for the right to kill the boss next time.”

This team didn’t intend to hide it, and it was not confidential information.

“That’s pretty good. The few city-states over there haven’t taken turns to farm bosses like you, so we still have to rely on our skills.” Lu Jiu silently praised Jinghe District.

Team Leader Xiang really benefited after hearing this, and rubbed his chest, “Hahaha, maybe your city lord can’t be contacted, so there’s no way to unify opinions. We can learn from it.”

It was indeed a good opportunity for the teams to compete for the boss. At least there was a chance. This was also based on ability.

And who knows what will change in the next game update?

To get everyone to know the news in the future, and express goodwill in advance, Lu Jiu mentioned the limited quantity of backpacks: “When the few of us were buying transportation at the blacksmith shop in our city-state, we heard some news from an NPC, did you hear anything?”

The team looked at her seriously, while Team Leader Xiang asked: “News? No NPC has said any news to us.” This was big news. The NPCs of their city-states generally don’t talk to them much.

“It’s like this. We have a bicycle over there, and the basket has a grid with capacity. Each grid can store 99 pieces of the same item. The number of grids is different, and so the price is different.”

The people on the team were stunned. They had their backpacks, so why bother using these types of equipment?

But the team immediately thought of something: “Does it mean our backpack will be changed?”

Lu Jiu nodded: “The NPC told me that it is very likely that the next time the game changes, the personal backpack will not be unlimited.”

Everyone became a little flustered. It was because of the unlimited amount of personal backpacks that they can rest assured that their equipment will not be robbed. After all, it was reassuring to put it close to their own body.
