Chapter 772: 772
The Harvest Inn was as merry as usual .
Just when Kieran, Lawless, and Starbeck stepped into the establishment, cheers from the crowd sounded .
"Congratulation, 2567!"
"Welcome to the veteran line!"
"Yeah, welcome man!"
Hanses and Coll were standing side-by-side, Ramont was standing next to them both while Raven was further away . Kieran even saw the Blood Alliance's boss, Allen .
Allen was sitting in the corner of the inn, toasting a cup at Kieran .
Kieran nodded to reply to him and everyone else, then he glanced over the other unfamiliar players that he had never seen before settling down at the table, neither far nor near to the bar .
Then, Kieran brought up the screenshots for the damaged [Fighter's Bandage], [Interrogator's Knife], [Dark Venom Dagger], [Nimble Boots] and [Calga's Crush] .
[Dandelion Pierce], [Ourin's Glare], [Orinder Soft Mail] and the two-handed greatsword [Elmerius Sword] together with the [Ring of Protection] and the [Ring of Blessing] were kept .
Keeping [Dandelion Pierce] was because Kieran was purely attracted by the word "ominous", while [Ourin's Glare] was because of the Spirit attribute's authentication .
[Ourinder Soft Mail] and [Elmerius Sword] though?
The former provided Kieran extra layer of defense and the latter would provide various styles of attacking patterns in combination with [Sharp Weapon, Dual Wield Heavy Arms] .
Kieran was unwilling to let go of both of them .
As for the remaining [Ring of Protection] and [Ring of Blessing], although they were purely consumables, possessing decent effects, they were enough for Kieran to use them on a rainy day .
Despite keeping most of the good stuff to himself, when Kieran brought up the screenshots, it still attracted quite a bit of attention from the lone wolf players, especially those unfamiliar ones as they gathered around even more .
Kieran didn't stay at his seat but went over to Lawless .
"They're the newcomers?" Kieran's words sounded a little surprised .
Although Kieran wasn't really paying attention to the newcomers of the underground game, occasionally he would surf the forums for news and he knew the newcomers came in a limited number and most of them would be attracted to the guilds, only less than a handful of them would end up being lone wolves .
"Mm . There's a spike in new players in the game in the recent two weeks . People are saying that a garage loaded with the memory cards of the underground game was raided and quickly flowed to the black market . But from what I know, that garage has uncountable ties with that bastard Broker . " Lawless said while drinking his [Margarita] .
"Which means, all of this is Broker's handy work? He's not afraid of being targeted by the Union authorities?" Kieran frowned .
Based on his knowledge, Broker shouldn't be so careless, unless…
There was someone within the authorities that helped Broker to cover it up!
Kieran's heart skipped a beat .
It wasn't by any means good news since Broker was his enemy . It wasn't until that very moment that Kieran realized he had never thought of the influence Broker had in the real world .
Judging from the forces he ran in the underground game, it wasn't hard for Broker to pull it off and it might be even easier because of the existence of contracts and sorts .
All Broker needed was a slightly proper "target" .
Lawless who was staring at Kieran shook his glass and laughed .
"2567, you are thinking too much! Broker might have a certain level of influence but it is also very limited . I am very sure that since you entered the game, other than the necessary offline time, you've never contacted others . If you do, you will notice the underground game has its own extra rules . "
"First, you are not allowed to reveal the game details to people other than the players on your own initiative!"
"Second, you are not allowed to force others into the game!"
