Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch C.495 - 478: Sincerely Studying! I Swear on My Five Sons!

Chapter 495: Chapter 478: Sincerely Studying! I Swear on My Five Sons!

Yelang, mocked by teammates and audiences, wanted to stop and vomit, but he just couldn’t. He felt utterly despaired.

At the same time, Wu Di was in similar straits— being laughed at by a crowd.

Health Square is indeed a gathering place for brothels, and a series of peripheral industries have emerged around this pillar industry.

In the Tang Dynasty, where a night curfew was still implemented, Health Square had truly become a “City That Never Sleeps”.

The gentry’s children, Kyoto’s young heroes, new scholars, and even princes and nobles, all gathered here, dispelling worries, finding love, enjoying entertainment, dining and partying, exchanging needed items… There was never a shortage of people flow.

All kinds of talents and beauties singing and making merry, and scholars getting drunk were common scenes.

Under the scrutiny of countless people in the bustling center, Wu Di was ruthlessly thrown onto the street by the henchmen raised in the brothel.

Inside the brothel, guests pointed at him and burst into laughter, women were giggling behind their hands, and the henchmen looked at him disdainfully.

Outside the brothel, passers-by pointed and talked; windows on the second floor opened, women shaded half of their faces with fans and eagerly watched the ruckus below.

“Dog shit!” Wu Di was utterly unaffected, he sat up and patted the dust off himself.

Mockery?

Do NPC’s mockery count as real mockery?

“Don’t let me get a chance, or I’ll burn you all down!”

Wu Di’s words were still fearless, but he indeed felt helpless.

He had figured out why before logging into the game, Cloud Dream would warn [The world is under construction, the quality is not final].

Because the game is not even finished, and the degree of completion is somewhat of a mystery.

Let alone the leveling system and skill system, there wasn’t even a specific character panel for the game!

Tasks? Guidance? Equipment?

It has nothing!

No wonder it’s a New World[Travel Ticket], he realized that apart from traveling, there weren’t any other things to do!

But what’s more absurd is: even if it’s traveling, Cloud Dream doesn’t provide enough travel expenses!

Those few copper coins he has, what the hell can he do with them?

He couldn’t even afford a decent outfit.

If he could afford it, he would have bluffed his way into the brothel for a few rounds. Instead, he was thrown out directly.

Additionally, the strength of these sturdy men was very absurd, they threw him like a chick, it wasn’t reasonable at all!

With two ordinary henchmen being so fierce, Wu Di gave up the idea of causing a massive destruction and challenging the regular Tang Dynasty Soldiers.

“Could it be that, I need to work and make some money first?” Wu Di thought about it and felt like that was the only option.

So he stood up, patting the dust off his buttocks and legs, and walked towards the henchmen who glared at him in intimidation, attempting to back him off with their eyes.

Before the henchman could make a move, Wu Di preemptively said, “Do you guys need more people?”

“Huh?” The henchman was startled by Wu Di’s words.

“I said, do you guys need more people? You see, I’m tall and well-built, definitely meet your requirements, right? And besides, I’m knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, proficient in poetry, song, and prose, there would be only gains and no losses if you hire me!”

When Wu Di initially mentioned his height and body shape, the henchman looked at him seriously, as if considering.

But after Wu Di couldn’t help talking a load of nonsense although in the context of the Tang Dynasty, what he said seemed a bit credible, the henchman couldn’t accept it at all. He grabbed Wu Di by the collar once again and fiercely threw him out.

After rolling on the ground for a couple rounds, Wu Di finally became angry, “Don’t be shameless when I give you respect!”

“Who will lend me a torch? Watch me burn down this feudal dross!”

No one responded to him.

The pedestrians continued to whisper and murmur.

Wu Di suddenly felt an upsurge of loneliness.

Yes, in this vivid and lifelike world, although it seemed to be full of people, in reality, he was the only human.

If there were other players, they’d have passed him a torch and a bucket of oil long ago!

He couldn’t help thinking: Why not just log off and go play with his buddies?

Going back to put on armor, pick up the big hammer, who would dare to provoke me?

In the end, he doesn’t have a reliable weapon at hand, otherwise, each of these henchmen would have been hammered down, it would not be much different from smashing watermelons.

Wu Di opened the panel, was about to log off, when a passerby suddenly stopped, squatted down beside him

“If you want to find a woman, why don’t you go North District?”

“North District?” Wu Di looked at the man with confusion.

Health Square is full of brothels, but there is a hierachy among them. North District mainly serves the lower class, Middle and South district are high-end places.

Especially the South District, the girls are well-known and have a good reputation.

However, due to the limitations of the current Urban Development Team of [Virtual Chang’an], these “famous” girls are just a handful of fillers.

There were no choices, the team is seriously lacking reliable beauticians to “create characters”.

In the existing database, there are modern handsome men and beautiful women. Just pull them out, switch their clothes and use, the aesthetics will drop a lot, which is a waste.

In the end, clothing, makeup, hairstyles and so on have a significant overall impact on a person’s appearance.

Helplessly, many exquisite buildings and courtyards in Southern District are still vacant.

However, as soon as Wu Di entered Health Square, he made a beeline for the most luxurious and popular brothel without delving into these details.

A passerby patiently explained to Wu Di, “Yeah, you should go to the brothel in the Northern District, they should serve you there, and hiring a woman is much cheaper than here.”

“No!” Wu Di suddenly reacted, “I didn’t come to find a woman!”

Referencing the mysterious stores in Night City, even if he found one, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

“I just want to go in and have a look! I don’t want to do anything!” Wu Di defended.

“I see.” The stranger didn’t say anything more, but instead patted his shoulder and said, “Then why not earn a big one with me and then go in righteously?”

“Earn a big? Doing what?”

The stranger stood up: “If you are not afraid of death, come with me.”

Only then did Wu Di notice, the stranger was very tall but did not look burly, on the contrary, he was somewhat thin and appeared quite sleek.

However, he didn’t waste words, he immediately stood up and followed him – jokingly, would a player be afraid of death?

“What do I need to do?” As Wu Di caught up, he asked while walking.

“Do what you just did at Dream Spring Building again.” The passerby replied.

“What about the reward?”

“Eight hundred coins.”

“Sounds good. I’m attracting attention, and you take advantage of it, right?” Wu Di quickly understood what the task was about.

This is one of the six quest lines added by the employees of the Virtual Chang’an city-building team during their practice. The logic is simple and the task isn’t difficult.

Why is the task so simple, yet the reward is quite rich?

Because after completing the task, you will encounter quite a bit of trouble – you will be pursued madly for an entire day.

But this is Wes Di’s first mission, he can’t judge if the task reward is generous or stingy, and thus he’s unaware of the potential pitfalls.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.” The tall figure has a cold tone.

“What’s not to ask, we are co-culprits, at least say a little bit?”

“If you want the money, shut up!”

So aggressive? Wu Di glanced sideways at the stranger, “Then I don’t want the money, can you tell me?”

“?” The passerby looked at Wu Di, with confusion in his eyes.

But no matter how much Wu Di teased, he simply refused to speak until they arrived at Dream Spring Building.

“We’re here, you can start.” The man stopped, letting Wu Di step forward on his own.

But Wu Di grabbed his arm, “Tell me? If you don’t say anything, I’ll yell!”

As soon as Wu Di made the threat, the arm in his hand vibrated violently and slipped from his control.

A thin short sword slid silently from the man’s sleeve, and this man was hiding it with his hand, pressing it tightly to Wu Di’s throat.

The blade was ice cold!

Wu Di was stunned for a moment – mainly because this man moved too fast, he didn’t react.

But when he reacted, he immediately grabbed the stranger’s arm and even pulled his belt to prevent him from struggling free!

Dare to run and I’ll pull your belt off!

If you’re capable, run with your bare buttocks!

The man’s gaze became even colder: “Are you really not afraid of death?”

“I’ll make a deal, I won’t shout, and I won’t ask about your purpose, I don’t want the money either! Just one request!”

The passerby are all watching these two – they can’t see the blade held in hand, but they can see two grown men entangled with each other –

One man touching another man’s neck, and the other man pulling the other’s belt and not letting go.

Words like “homosexual favor”, “broken sleeve fetish”, “public place”, and “decaying public morals” made their way into the ears of the two men.

Wu Di didn’t care, but the stranger was a little intolerant. Plus, he found that Wu Di was really not afraid of death, showing no signs of panic, and he had to compromise helplessly: “You say it first…”

“Teach me!” Wu Di stared intently at the man’s eyes.

“Teach you what?”

“Just what you did just now, swipe it once, and be able to wipe my throat!”

Upon hearing this, the stranger put down his hand and looked seriously at Wu Di, “This is—the Path of an Assassin!”

“Always hidden from the sunlight, do you really want to learn it?”

“I want to learn!” There wasn’t the slightest hesitation in Wu Di, it even made him more excited!

“Sincerely! I swear on my five sons!”

Wu Di might not be married yet, but he did go to college, so he did have five sons to swear on.
