Chapter 71: The Gambler's Skills

They were both new model puppets, but they didn't seem as advanced as Guan Ling's body. After all, Old Nect was the number one craftsman in Puppet City. All the parts he prepared for Little Nect were the best of the best. Even the city lord's parts weren't as good as Guan Ling's.

If Guan Ling hadn't gotten the system's notification, Xing Ye would've had a better impression of these two. However, they were just like Xing Ye thought- people who would vent their temper on other things.

Although Xing Ye always planned for the worst, it was just to be prepared. He really didn't want the worst-case scenerio to happen, but alas, his plans ended up coming in useful.

The two following fate players weren't polite and went right ot the point. "If you guys took away Benedict's little puppet, you should pretty much know the plot. Whoever gets the puppet will win. Right now, the puppet's in your hands, but we won't let you give it to Benedict to complete the mission. Hand over the puppet, or prepare for a beating!"

Cao Qian was worried Guan Ling wouldn't be calm enough and pulled his arm. However, after hearing the two players' words, she became so angry that her grip bent Guan Ling's wrist.

Guan Ling: "..."

Good thing he was a puppet.

Despite her anger, Cao Qian didn't move an inch, standing behind Xing Ye as support.

Xing Ye had already anticipated the two following fate players to be as such and wasn't too upset. "Randy didn't talk to you guys?"

The son of the owner of the mines sneered, "He tried using his status as a high level player to tempt us, but everything he said was suggesting we should be begging him for guidance and listening to everything he says. We would rather lose than cooperate with a person like him."

The two were actually very calm people. This was the first time Xing Ye met following fate players who weren't muddled by the luck value the system gave them.

"It looks like you two rare planning to fight, but we have four people while you only have two. Are you guys really sure you'll win?" Xing Ye asked.

The public security chief's son said, "We've been partners since the novice world and right now, we already have more than 40,000 points. Every world's reward only gives 100 points, so how do you think we collected this many points? We obviously wouldn't take the initative to attack other players. We got all of our points through self defense- who knew there would be so many blind players."

This was the first time Xing Ye met people who dared to be so unbridled facing him. It was a truly novel experience.

However, these two following fate players probably were very strong. Without powerful starting abilities and QR codes, they wouldn't have such confidence.

Xing Ye had no intention of fighting with the two. There wasn't any point in struggling for 2000 points from them. Instead, he just gave them a reminder. "I know you've met Benedict and want to help him find his son's puppet, believing that's how to solve the mission, but that's wrong."

"Of course we know." The son of the owner of the mines said. "We still have to kill the city lord and owner of the mnes, helping Benedict reclaim Puppet City."

"You guys..." Xing Ye stared at their proud faces and couldn't help but knead his forehead. "Randy should've told you there's another way to complete the mission, right?"

The public security chief's son said, "Wow, you actually believed him? He probably tried to trick every player with that, saying he'll trade information about the game for our loyalty. There's also two following fate players in your team, right? If they're willing to let opposing fate players leech onto them, it's their choice, but we're not that stupid."
