It was too much of a strain for a single Soldier Bee to carry two people back.
After releasing some kind of pheromone, or perhaps being manipulated by the Hive Will, another Soldier Bee quickly flew over from a distance, grabbed Zarke who was already bound hand and foot with what looked like spider silk but was actually " Bee Silk," and flew off in another direction.
After confirming that he was completely safe, [ Howling Pothos ] roughly estimated the return time and chose to log off and rest under the control of the Soldier Bee.
To protect the players' physical health in real life, Ed set a limit of no more than twelve hours of gameplay per day.
The update time is midnight every day. Before the new day arrives, [ Howling Pothos ] chooses to log off voluntarily rather than be kicked off later.
It was a bright morning in the real world. Player Chang Nie (ID: Howling Pothos ) took off his helmet, pulled himself out of bed, and went to the window to look into the distance.
He lives in an apartment in a big city. He didn't return to his hometown because he was unwilling to leave, and also because the transportation in the big city is more convenient, and he can easily catch up if there are any game-related events.
However, living in a big city also has some drawbacks, such as... his savings are steadily decreasing.
To survive in the jungle of steel and concrete, Chang Nie needs a stable source of income, and it has to be in a way that doesn't hinder his upgrade progress.
With his abilities, if he focused solely on hoarding activation codes, he might be able to lower the average price of activation codes in the entire market by a few dollars.
However, given that real-name authentication is required for each login and each person's identity can only be linked to one account, such behavior will undoubtedly hinder his upgrade progress.
He glanced once more at the upcoming World of Disorder private competition, sincerely hoping that the organizers would set the prize money higher.
After resting for a while, he opened a game group chat on his phone and found that there were already dozens of posts with people spewing insults.
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ]: "Is the stats for this new quest designed by a dog? Were the NPC stats filled in with their feet?"
"The three of us, well-equipped, had just found a small church that looked suspicious, when an NPC on the roadside suddenly dropped what he was holding and chased after us, hacking at us!"
"A bot, taking on three of us and killing us all. If the Tree Worship Church is this powerful, then nobody should play."
"And then the worst part was, just when I was about to run away, a naked man suddenly appeared lying down and sleeping on the side of the road!"
Even though the medium was just text, Chang Nie could still sense the other party's anger.
Upon noticing the naked man, he also realized the man's identity.
If the citizens of Fir City in the Aduolin Province didn't have this collective hobby of sleeping naked on the roadside, then he would probably be a member of the group that arrived at the chapel around the same time as him.
Alas, it seems my unintentional act has backfired and harmed the other party.
However, thinking of the man he encountered when he left the chapel in the game, Chang Nie felt that even if he joined the three, it was hard to say whether they would be able to win.
Meanwhile, in the game group, the Elderly and Children Fly First ]" was still being posted continuously.
"Damn it, how could a naked man appear on the roadside in this freezing weather? Who could possibly figure that out? That bastard tripped me up and killed me... This is definitely a bug! Odin Game Company! Damn it, refund my money! Refund my equipment money!"
Chang Nie, who was outside the phone, frowned, realizing that the other party had not revealed the whole truth.
The " Elderly and Children Fly First clearly selectively ignores the fact that they created an explosion to attract attention.
For these kinds of security issues, shouldn't the nearby squad leader or high knight commander immediately go and investigate?
Seeing the person's complaining and lamenting comments in the group, Chang Nie could only silently wish that the other person would soon save up enough money for equipment to start the next " Fir City Operation ".
Entering the city empty-handed is obviously impossible, since everyone has to pay a deposit for the investigation mission upon entry. Going into Fir City without anything is tantamount to suicide.
After calmly eating some food to ensure his body wouldn't be ejected due to the game's anomaly, [ Howling Pothos ] reappeared in the World of Disorder.
The timing was perfect; when [ Howling Pothos ] re-logged back online, Black Locust Town had already come into view.
According to the transport logic of the Soldier Bee, since his operation started from Black Locust Town, he should naturally send the person back intact.
[ Howling Pothos ] did indeed want to personally hand over Zarke, this living treasure, to Ed, but receiving the bounty from Nuolun was also essential.
The Soldier Bee landed in the plaza next to the Adventurers' Guild.
There is always a plaza next to each Adventurers' Guild. This is not some strange rule, but rather Ed's deliberate choice of location.
Seeing the two Soldier Bee land, many players who had come to watch the spectacle rushed forward, wanting to see which two people were so powerful.
The mission had only been going on for a few hours, but many of them had already learned from the forums that several teams had lost contact.
After seeing [ Howling Pothos ], many players with some gaming experience were relieved:
"So it's the Pothos Boss. That makes sense. I just heard that the Pothos Boss usually acts alone. I wonder who his temporary teammate is."
Upon hearing this player say this, someone next to him asked in confusion:
" Pothos? Which Pothos? The Howling Pothos?"
The player who spoke first turned around in confusion:
"What else? There's no other Pothos in this game, right?"
After confirming the ID again, the player who asked the question suddenly looked troubled:
"So his name is [ Howling Pothos ]! I always thought his name was ' Howling Loli,' and I was wondering why anyone would have such a name..."
The player who answered immediately looked astonished. He hesitated several times before finally saying:
"I think you're a bit low on battery..."
Not far away, [ Howling Pothos ] smoothly jumped off the Soldier Bee's back, turned around and went to another Soldier Bee, taking the Zarke tied to its abdomen off.
When the crowd saw [ Howling Pothos ] dragging something that looked exactly like prey entangled in spider silk, someone shouted:
"Dude, what kind of big stuff did you get? It's huge!"
[ Howling Pothos ] turned around and replied with a smile:
"The situation in the city is too complicated. I brought one back alive to ask him."
