Chapter 332 The Abandoned Street
Three hours later, Kieran and Lawless met again at the station outside Harvest Tavern.
"Are you ready?"
Lawless asked, with an unconcealable apology in his tone.
"certainly!"
"However, if you can get rid of the appearance that you owe me a million dollars, I think I will be more prepared!"
Qin Ran said with a smile.
He hoped to dispel the guilt of lawlessness with such words.
He knows what lawlessness thinks, it is nothing more than: his own affairs, but his friends are dragged in, and they have to bear great dangers together.
For lawlessness, such things are really uncomfortable and unwilling to accept.
But if lawless people are allowed to take risks alone, Qin Ran will also feel uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it.
Qin Ran knew what he was going to do.
And knew it would put him in danger.
But in the past, lawlessness helped him, so he was doomed to be unable to stand idly by.
not to mention……
Shouldn't friends show up at this time?
"You know……"
"Okay, I'll shut up!"
Lawless wanted to say something more, but when he saw Qin Ran's raised middle finger, he immediately shrugged with a wry smile.
However, lawlessness did not shut up as he said.
Instead, he took out two cigars, lit them with a fuel lighter in the most brutal way, and threw one to Qin Ran.
"One?"
"Although a lot of processes are saved, the taste is great!"
"Can I refuse?"
Kieran looked at the lit cigar in his hand.
Smelling the rich smoke with a hint of spirits, he was sure that it was too early for him to try this cigar.
"Of course not!"
"Try it, you'll love it!"
Lawless was sure, and said it emphatically.
Qin Ran frowned, carefully put the cigar to his mouth, and took a light puff.
Suddenly, a strong and stimulating smell flooded into his mouth.
Qin Ran coughed uncontrollably.
Even, shed tears.
"How about it?"
"It tastes great, doesn't it?"
Lawless patted Qin Ran's back vigorously, trying to make Qin Ran feel better, but the words in his mouth made Qin Ran roll his eyes.
If it wasn't for making the guy in front of him feel better, how could he try this level of cigars.
Still, the smell of that cigar...
Seems to be fine?
When the cough subsided, Qin Ran could feel a different feeling emerging from his body.
Not the smell, not the ethereal smoke.
It is a sense of freshness brought by an unknown attempt.
With such a fresh feeling, Kieran imitated the lawless appearance and put the cigar in his mouth.
"Congratulations, you have completed the adult ceremony!"
Lawless grabbed Qin Ran's shoulders and said with a smile.
For the next few minutes, the two were just chatting.
Until, the 'Broker' sent a message.
"Old Stry Street?"
"What kind of tricks does this guy use?"
Lawless looked at the message sent by the 'Broker', immediately frowned, and then explained the so-called Old Stry Street to Qin Ran.
Old Streeter Street, originally called Streeter Street.
It was originally a very prosperous street.
Many players were 'born' there.
At the most prosperous time, there are all shops on one street, from food, drinks, to weapons and equipment, to enchanting and potion.
It can be said that it is usually the place where all the senior players gather.
until……
A newly promoted senior player unintentionally provokes the 'Witch'.
Then, the entire street was destroyed, and the players who were with it were naturally not immune.
Except for the players who were lucky enough to stay in their own rooms, 20 players died directly, and more people were affected.
After such a thing happened, Sterly Street, which was regarded as unknown, naturally withdrew from people's sight.
A new street appeared in its place.
The original Street Street was changed to Old Street Street by the players.
And the new streets?
It's called: Genesis Street.
This is where the 'broker' really made his fortune.
"The old one was destroyed, and the new one was born, and it just happened to fall into the hands of the 'Broker'?"
After listening to the explanation, Qin Ran frowned.
The coincidence inside, no matter how he looked at it, felt like a conspiracy.
"I think it's the work of the 'broker', right?"
"Everyone thinks so too!"
"If the one who did it wasn't the 'Witch', he would definitely be considered the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes! The one who did it was the 'Witch'..."
"Who can command that?"
"In addition, it was indeed the newly promoted and ignorant guy who provoked the 'witch', so in the end, what happened on Old Stry Street was considered an accident—and as time went by, everyone became more and more afraid Except for the witch, nothing has changed!"
Speaking of lawlessness, he shrugged again.
"Let's go?"
he asked.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded.
Although he still felt something was wrong in his heart, Qin Ran knew what he should do now.
...
According to the message sent by the 'Broker', they came to a dilapidated street on the edge of the huge city.
If Lawlessness hadn't informed Qin Ran in advance that this place used to be a bustling street, he would have been unable to associate the unfinished, foul-smelling street with the word bustling.
Qin Ran carefully avoided the sewage under his feet.
"This place should obviously be rebuilt, why did it stop in the middle of the construction?"
Qin Ran looked at those unfinished buildings and asked in confusion.
"Because of the loss of players!"
"The person who designed the huge city builder program is a very practical guy. If there are players, everything will be as usual. If the players leave, then it will fall into barrenness. After that incident, no more players are willing to continue to come Old Stry Street lacks enough purchasing power, and players who wanted to stay on Old Stry Street couldn’t hold on any longer and moved away one after another.”
"So, the whole street has become what you see in front of you!"
The lawless tone was full of regret.
"I see!"
Kieran nodded after learning more about the rules of the underground game.
The two chose a place that was not so dirty, located upwind, and could avoid the stench as much as possible, and quietly waited for the next news from the 'Broker'.
But this time the wait seemed a bit long.
For more than ten minutes, there was no news at all.
Qin Ran and Lawless looked at each other.
The two of them, who were already wary of the 'broker', felt something was wrong in their hearts at the same time.
Therefore, when the sound of footsteps sounded, the two of them all entered a fighting state.
