Chapter 65: No Mole Inside, Begin Trading

As the number of players gathering around increased, it was about to disturb the normal order of the Kano Country's port. Many ordinary civilians were casting curious glances in their direction, and it wouldn't be surprising if they soon notified the soldiers to disperse the crowd.

This wouldn't do.

Adrian vividly remembered one thing: due to publicly killing the backbone of the Second Treasure Navy, 'Hog,' his 'camp relationship' with the Kano Country was currently in a cold phase.

In addition, with the exception of the Eight-Treasures Navy, who were temporarily neutral, the vast majority of pirates were in an "enemy state" with him, and the Two-Treasures Navy were his "mortal enemies"!

If the Eight-Treasures Navy found out that he was doing player business in the Kano Country, they would undoubtedly come out to interfere. That would greatly affect the efficiency of harvesting experience…

Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help but cough lightly.

Just as a player finished shopping, he closed his panel store and said to the crowd of players, "Remember what I said just now? I just have something to deal with right now, and I'll be waiting for you at that uninhabited beach."

After saying that, Adrian entered the ghost state and disappeared from the sight of the crowd in the blink of an eye.

With the players' attributes, they didn't even see what happened.

A player who had just arrived and was standing at the back of the crowd, unable to see what had happened in front, noticed that the crowd had suddenly gone silent. He couldn't help but shout out, "Where's Big Trouble? Why did he run away? I came here to learn skills!"

"Big Trouble ran away! He went...cough...I don't know where he went!"

"That's right, he just disappeared in the blink of an eye, as usual."

"I suddenly remembered that I have a quest to complete at the dock, so I'll be taking my leave... "

"Oh, I have a friend waiting for me at the XX coordinates, so I'll be taking my leave as well..."

The players who knew what had happened began to leave without a word, while those who were late to the party were still confused.

Players' attributes are already quite unremarkable among the natives, especially their charisma, which is only 1 point. This makes it much more difficult for players to gain the favor of NPCs. Without enough favor, how could an NPC possibly teach them skills?

At this moment, the players who had mastered skills were few and far between. Now that they had finally met a "professional mentor" and a "mysterious merchant," they naturally wouldn't let this opportunity go to waste.

In addition, for Adrian, leaving the players for a short time at this time would also help to spread the information more widely, and it would also help to weed out some of the onlookers who were just there to watch the show and wouldn't buy anything.

After leaving the dock, Adrian found a secluded corner, transformed into a Ghost and flew into the air, leisurely browsing the West Blue section of the forum.

At this time, the public beta was at its peak, and new players from all over the world were actively sharing the information they had collected.

The players of the Kano Country were also excitedly announcing the arrival of the "Big Trouble" in the West Blue section. He was the first high-level figure on all the beginner islands to show a close relationship with the players.

In addition to the halo of the identity of "Mysterious Merchant" + "Vocational Mentor", the popularity is incredibly high, and one after another posts about "Big Trouble" are constantly being released, discussed, and pinned.

"I knew that this man was no ordinary person!"

"Don't be a jerk! We all know how awesome Big Trouble is! I just want to ask why he only appears in the West Blue?"

"He actively sells weapons, and as long as your favorability reaches a certain level, you can learn skills from him. And they are not skills like fishing, touching fish, or inserting fish, but real universal skills!"

"Most importantly, there are basic knowledge of several professions. After learning them, you can directly change your profession!"

"Damn it! I really want to go to the West Blue! But I'm in the North Blue now, and I can't go there!"

About half an hour later.

A large group of new players from the Kano Country "traveled through mountains and rivers", finally arrived at the uninhabited beach that Adrian had mentioned before, and once again saw the "Big Trouble" that they had been thinking about in their hearts.

The long-accumulated desire to purchase was suddenly triggered.

In a short while, dozens of players purchased firearms, ammunition, general skills, and professional knowledge from Adrian, easily gaining hundreds of thousands of experience.

Moreover, as time passed, the harvested experience and currency continued to rise.

Business was booming!

"It's time for the next step!"

Adrian's gaze flickered as he watched the experience points continuously jump on the panel.

The transactions with players were 'necessary', without a doubt, as it was known to be the easiest way to gain a large amount of experience.

However, 'necessary' did not mean that Adrian needed to personally engage in 'face-to-face' transactions with players.

When chatting and joking with a beautiful young girl, all that was needed was a mouth on top and a mouth below for the other person.

But doing business, especially dealing with hundreds of players at the same time, would be overwhelming for one person.

Clap!

Adrian closed the shop panel, clapped his hands, attracting the attention of players who had fallen into a fervent shopping state.

"There are too many people... Now give me some space, I will arrange some cuties to help."

The players obeyed while whispering to each other.

"What is Big Trouble talking about?"

"It sounds like he is going to bring some friends over to help?"

Adrian looked at the players who had given up a space, smiled faintly, and prepared to show off.

Oh, no, it's called appearing in public!

Ghost Mimicry: Imitation Game.

The players felt their vision blur for a moment, and then there were dozens of men who looked exactly like 'Big Trouble' appearing in front of them.

The only difference was that these new 'Big Trouble' had a faint white glow on their bodies, and their bodies were like illusions.

"Damn it! What kind of ability is this?"

"This isn't a realistic-style ocean game, is it? Am I seeing a hallucination?"

"When did you get the illusion that this is a game that is realistic type? Can't you see those guys who are five or six meters tall and wearing muscular armor?"

"But this is a supernatural ability, right? Is it an ability or magic?"

"How much more is there that 'Big Trouble' is hiding from us?"

"I wonder if this skill will be open to players!"

A player plucked up the courage and, with the encouragement of the crowd, asked "Big Trouble," "Excuse me, what kind of ability is this, and can you teach it to us?"

Adrian glanced at him and said lightly, "The shackles of humanity suit you well."

The players immediately started whispering to each other.

"What does 'Big Trouble' mean by that? I feel like I'm being looked down on..."

"Be confident, take out the 'like'!"

"Damn it, he's putting on airs!"
