Chapter 63: The Flame Dwarf's Counterattack

  When Deng Qiang arrived at the designated location with Cha Cha and Jue Shi Da Shuai Ge, he found that the location was a residential house with closed doors.

  "Where is the person you told me to look at?" The exceptionally handsome general was standing on tiptoes and looking around.

  "What about him? We've already arrived." Ding Qiang also felt a bit puzzled and asked the other party in a message.

  Nangong Xiaoyue didn't respond, but after a moment, the door in front of everyone was opened from the inside...

  "This house, is it yours?" Ding Qiang asked with some surprise.

  As for Cha Cha and Jue Shi Da Shuai Ge, they were even more generous in showing their surprise on their faces...

  She smiled faintly and responded ambiguously, then turned around and said, "Come in, we've been waiting for you."

  "Hmm!" responded one voice, and Ding Qiang immediately led Tea and the exceptionally handsome guy inside.

  There was nothing in the house, just a few tables and chairs, looking quite desolate. But only Ding Qiang, who knew the game settings well, knew what having a house at this stage meant.

  The house is expensive in reality, and it's the same in the game. It can only be obtained by triggering some special tasks, so the price is even higher. He really didn't expect Nan Gong Xiao Yue to get one.

  Apart from Ding Qiang, Cha Cha and Jue Shi Da Shuai Ge, there were also Nan Gong Xiao Yue, Nan Gong Xiao Xiao and Yue Ying Ming Xin in the room.

  After the six people sat down, Nangong Xiaoyue got straight to the point and said: "Xiao Qiang, I plan to make a deal with you."

  "Let's hear it," said Ding Qiang.

  "Uh, but this matter is quite confidential, and your few friends..." Nangong Xiaoyue didn't know the relationship between ChaCha, Jueshi Dashuai Ge, and Ding Qiang, so she was a bit hesitant.

  "Huh? Let's get out of here first!" Chacha and the ultimate handsome guy were about to stand up, but just as they got halfway up, they were pulled back down by Ding Qiang.

  "The two of them are fine, and if you want to make a deal with me, I think they're just what we need..." Ding Qiang said confidently.

  "You..." Looking at Ding Qiang who was confident in front of her, Nan Gong Xiao Yue suddenly felt that she couldn't see the guy in front of her clearly.

  From the several contacts between the two parties, judging from the words of his friends who appeared by his side, his own age should not be too big, estimated to be around 17 or 18 years old. However, for some reason, every time he spoke with the other party, the other party's calm and composed demeanor gave people a sense of maturity and composure that was completely inconsistent with their age.

  "Come on, didn't you say time is pressing?" Ding Qiang said.

  "Alright." Nangong Xiaoyue nodded, and then said in a low voice: "The Divine Sign game has been online for almost a month now. According to the internal information I've obtained, the game will be holding an event in the next few days. Although I haven't gotten the name yet, it should be related to combat, with three people per group and two groups per team. Depending on each team's performance during the event, there will be different rewards. How about it? Are you interested?"

  "Is there an event in the game company recently? How did you know?" Chacha asked curiously on the side.

  "Heh heh, little girl, what's the big deal? In previous games, not to mention game events, even BOSS..." Moon Shadow Ming Xin slightly moved her body and glanced at Cha Cha.

  "What's up, BOSS?" asked the extremely handsome guy.

  "It's nothing." Yue Ying smiled and glanced at Ding Qiang, then fell silent.

  "How about it? Are you interested?" Nangong Xiaoxiao asked, looking at Ding Qiang who was silent beside her.

  "I'm interested, but I'm more concerned about the final benefits and how they will be divided."

  "Three to seven." Nan Gong Xiao interrupted Ding Qiang's words with one sentence.

  "Three to seven?" Dinged Nangong Xiaoxiao with a glance, Ding Qiang hehe smiled: "You just take three points? That would make us feel a bit embarrassed."

  "What's that?" Nangong Xiao said with a pout: "The information was provided by us, of course we have to take seven shares, it's you who takes three shares."

  "That's not right!" Chacha said from the side, "Your information source is not necessarily accurate, it's so vague, you don't know what specific content, just a rough idea, and then you still want 70%, isn't that too greedy?"

  "Don't worry about this, the day before the event starts, we will definitely get accurate information. Three percent is the maximum, not a single point less." said Nangong Xiao.

  "It's no use, even if I knew the news, what's the point of knowing it a day in advance...” Teacha refused to budge.

  “……”

  “……”

  Women are born geniuses at haggling, and even Chacha, who had just graduated from high school, was no exception. The two sides immediately began to haggle.

  A moment later, Nangong Xiaoyue pulled her sister back and looked at Ding Qiang, saying: "Ding Qiang, how do you feel?" She had figured it out - among the three of them, Ding Qiang was the one calling the shots. As long as he agreed, the other two wouldn't have a problem, so she directly threw the question at him.

  "Three seven points..." Ding Qiang smiled slightly: "If I can accurately give out the content and activity method of this update, then can't we also get 70%?"

  "Accurate?" Nangong Xiaoyue was taken aback: "How is this possible, the specific plan hasn't..."

  "This has nothing to do with you, just answer yes or no." Ding Qiang said.

  "Facing Ding Qiang's overbearing attitude, Nangong Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but not a word came out."

  "Seven out of ten is absolutely impossible, how could that be..." Nangong Xiao said from the side: "How can you be so greedy..."

  "Are you speaking for yourself or on behalf of the three of you?" Ding Qiang said: "If you are representing the three of you, then there is no need to continue talking. If you are only representing yourself, then spare me..."

  Ding Qiang originally wanted to have a good talk with them, but the other side threw out something about 30% and 70%, which made him feel a bit uneasy.

  Although he wanted someone to accompany him in his next move, he was not yet at the point where he could be manipulated by anyone.

  "Ah..." Nangong Xiao Xiao.

  "Say it, what do you want anyway." Nan Gong Xiao Yue suddenly seemed to have lost all her willpower, saying weakly.

  Looking at Nan Gong Xiao Yue's pitiful face, looking at her clear and beautiful face, for some reason, a feeling of pity and preciousness suddenly emerged in Ding Qiang's heart. The four-six split he had originally planned to say became: "I don't have any intention either, since we're cooperating, let's just go with 50-50..."

  "...". Pretending not to see the discontented gaze of ChaCha and the extraordinary handsome guy beside her, Ding Qiang said: "Stop wasting words, has the specific date for the activity been set?"

  "You're not saying you know everything, are you!" Nangong Xiao Xiao was still obviously resentful about being choked off by a sentence just now.

  "If you continue like this during our cooperation, it's not me who will be embarrassed, but your sister." Ding Qiang said.

  "I..." Xiangxiang turned her head and saw that her sister, Xiaoyue, was indeed staring at her.

  "What's so fierce? If I don't say anything, then that's it!" With a flick of her tongue, Nangong Xiaoxiao lazily closed her mouth.

  "I haven't got the exact time yet, but it's definitely before this Friday. Today is Monday, so we have at most four days to prepare."

  "Four days, that's enough." Ding emphasized as he pulled out the system's drawing board and began to explain.

  "Let me first talk about the general rules of this activity..."

  Based on the memories of the previous life, Ding Qiang roughly recalled that this time's activity was 100% a counterattack by the Flame Dwarves.

  Flame Dwarf Counterattack, the general background is that a group of flame dwarves unintentionally came to the surface and were attracted by the birdsong and fragrance of the surface. They did not want to return to the dark and damp underground, so they secretly mixed into the city, using dwarf black magic to disguise themselves as humans in the city. The player's task is to find out these hidden dwarves among ordinary NPCs...

  "After the activity starts, except for the safe area and a few shops as well as the trainer hall in the main city, all other places are PK areas. Killing a flame dwarf earns 1 point, picking up a dwarf treasure chest earns 1 point. Teams consist of three people per group, two groups per team, five members, one captain. If during the activity period, the captain is killed by someone from another team, the score will be deducted by at least 5 points and transferred to the killing team. When the main team's captain dies, the vice-captain also loses points. One week later, the scores of the main and vice-teams are combined and ranked."

  "Captain died and dropped so many points?" Chacha said in surprise.

  "That's right." Ding Wei said affirmatively: "So this activity is more dangerous in the last few days, one is that the refresh of the Flame Dwarf is more in the first three days, and it will be less in the last few days. At that time, if you want to improve your ranking, you can only rely on killing the captains of other teams."

  "If the rules are like that, can't we kill a few more at the beginning and then have our captain hide in the safe zone while the other team members go to kill the opposing team's captain?" asked Nangong Xiaoyue.

  "There are additional rules, for the captain, there is no concept of a safe zone, the captain can be exempt from the setting that PK is not possible within the safe zone, and what's more, if the captain is offline, killing the fire dwarf will not score points, so in those days, it's best to maintain a unified online time..."

  "How did you know that in such detail?" Nan Gong Xiao couldn't help but ask, and then quickly added, "I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, I'm just curious."

  "Hehe, inside information." Ding Qiang said with a smile.

  “……”

  "Generally speaking, the rules should be like this. In short, what we need to do in this activity is to keep finding and killing Flame Dwarves for the first three days, as many as possible, and then try to kill the captains of other teams in the following days, strive to improve our ranking, get rewards, that's all."

  "What should we prepare now?" asked Pastor Moon Shadow beside him.

  "There's actually nothing much to prepare for, just more fire-resistant medicine and equipment, and... "Ding Qiang said: "And try to upgrade your level as much as possible."
