Chapter 66

Once the black towers explanation finished, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were no longer on Nanpu Bridge. The two people understood their situation at the fastest speed. They didnt panic and started to observe the situation they were in now.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took two ends and looked at both sides of the alley. They were in a narrow and dark alley that only allowed one person to enter and exit freely. Tang Mo checked one end of the alley and returned. There is a small river over there and I cant see anyone.

Fu Wenduo also checked the other side. There is a street.

Tang Mos eyes lit up.

There are very few people. Only three or four people passed by. They arent dressed like players. They are more like people from the Underground Kingdom. Fu Wenduo raised his head and looked at the English letter flashing above Tang Mos head. It looks like this letter cant be removed. As he spoke, he reached out and touched the B above Tang Mos head. Unfortunately, his hand completely went through the letter and couldnt be touched.

Tang Mo said, You just heard it Fu Wenduo. The 21 players who cleared the black towers first floor against you and me?

Fu Wenduo nodded. I heard.

Tang Mo looked certain. The 21 players have cleared the black towers first floor. Last month, the black tower opened the Christmas Eve instance and many players were forced to attack the tower. According to my speculation, in the past one and a half months, at least 1,000 players wouldve cleared the first floor of the black tower. Chen Shanshan was like this Chen Shanshan is a member of Attack. It isnt surprising that there will be 21 black tower players in Shanghai who entered this instance.

Fu Wenduo said, The players at this stage dont have the same level.

Tang Mo nodded. Yes. Previously, I was on the second floor of the black tower. I met two people, your cousin and Bai Ruoyao. To be honest, your cousin is really smart but his strength isnt particularly outstanding. He should be a medium standard among the players on the first floor of the black tower. However, Bai Ruoyao is different. I think that although he is a player on the black towers first floor, he has the strength of a second floor player. He just hasnt attacked the tower.

There were many reasons not to attack the tower. In fact, most players didnt want to attack the tower. Even Tang Mo adhered to the principle of not attacking the tower. Every instance was caused by the black tower forcing him in.

Tang Mo was noticed by the black tower due to Marios Monopoly Game, forcing him to attack the black tower. Later, he was once again noticed by the black tower due to the Iron Shoemaker game and was forced to participate in the black towers second floor attack game. Bai Ruoyao was powerful but he didnt attack the tower. It wasnt impossible. As long as he didnt participate in a game and wasnt noticed by the tower, he wouldnt be forced to attack the tower.

Tang Mo wasnt afraid of the players who cleared the black tower normally. He was worried about players like Bai Ruoyao whose strength were far above the floor they were on.

There are 21 players. If they are all average, our chances of winning are already low. Lets say there are one or two at the level of Bai Ruoyao Tang Mos expression gradually stiffened.

Fu Wenduo said, There are only two Kings Gold Coins.

Tang Mo was slightly stunned and looked at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo pointed to himself and then to Tang Mo. 21 players, two Kings Gold Coins. More meat and less He trailed off like he thought comparing themselves to meat was strange. Then Fu Wenduo continued, Tang Mo, these 21 players arent companions.

There were only two Kings Gold Coins but there were 21 players. In the Pinocchio game, Tang Mos group of eight competed for just one Kings Gold Coin. One person died while three were sent to the tower attack game. Now it seemed easy to get the Kings Gold Coins. They just had to kill Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo to get them. But could these players unite?

There were only two gold coins.

Tang Mo understood the meaning and didnt answer. He suddenly smiled. Are we companions?

Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo calmly.

Tang Mo asked, Killing Mr. A will give a Kings Gold Coin. Major Fu, if I kill you can I get a Kings Gold Coin?

Fu Wenduo countered with a calm expression. Can I get a Kings Gold Coin if I kill Mr. B?

The two people looked at each other in the dark alley. A long time passed before Tang Mo suggested, 2v21, shall we do it?

Fu Wenduos lips curved. Lets do it!

Since they decided to accept this extremely unfair game, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo left the alley. They first tried various methods to see if they could hide the two English characters flashing above them. Unfortunately, the light of these letters couldnt be covered by the hands or clothes.

The two people didnt force it. They carefully observed the environment outside the alley and left.

Not many people were walking on the street. Those that were didnt look at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, nor did they seem to notice the two glowing letters. Tang Mo deliberately walked to a two metre tall man, exposing the B above his head to the mans eyes. The man glanced at Tang Mo while holding a jar of sweet honey and detoured around Tang Mo.

Tang Mo wondered, They cant see the letters above our heads?

Fu Wenduo took a moment to observe. It seems they cant see it. But this doesnt mean that players cant see it.

Tang Mo nodded. Lets go to the Strange Circus first. Our mission is to ensure that the monster isnt stolen by players within these seven days. First we have to find the monster. Tang Mo pulled out a thin advertisement leaflet from his backpack and Fu Wenduo looked at it curiously. Tang Mo explained, This is the advertisement I got about the Strange Circus. It has a map of the Strange Circus.

Tang Mo pointed to the advertisement where there was a rough hand-drawn map in the lower right corner. The two people quickly recognized the road and followed the map to the circus.

This advertisement had been obtained from Marios hat when Tang Mo was playing the Happy Hamster game in Monster Valley. The smelly hat gave Tang Mo lots of strange garbage. Apart from some useless items, other props that seemed like they would play a role later were kept by Tang Mo.

Fu Wenduo looked thoughtfully at the map and then Tang Mos head. He seems to have guessed something. But in order to prevent himself from making this unfamiliar teammate angry and having to face 21 players alone, his lips just curved and he didnt say when he had guessed.

With this map, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo succeeded in finding the Strange Circus.

They stood in front of the magnificent and tall circus, the huge dome tent exceeding Tang Mos imagination as his eyes widened with astonishment. This huge tent seemed to cover the sky. Like the tents that every circus liked to use, colourful ribbons were tied around the tent. The breeze blew and the ribbons fluttered. They were in the bright colours that all children loved.

However, this tent was too big. It was more like a huge building than a tent. Anyone would become a small insect compared to it.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo stood in front of the circus and looked at each other. They didnt need to talk, both of them understanding what the other person meant

Find a chance to sneak in.

The two people hadnt left yet when a sharp voice was heard behind them. Oh, you are finally here!

Tang Mos hand quickly grasped the small parasol while Fu Wenduo turned quietly, looking at the dwarf gnome running towards them. The dwarf trotted to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. He was less than a metre tall and only went up to Tang Mos thighs. He wore a green hat and looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. He opened his mouth and tried to speak, but wasnt able to. AhAchoo!

A huge green snot bubble appeared from the dwarfs nose. He took a strong breath and sucked the disgusting snot back in. The dwarf wiped his nose and placed his hands on his hips, crying out with dissatisfaction. Mr. A, Mr. B, we spend money on you. Why did you procrastinate and only arrive today? His big bell-like eyes stared ferociously at the duo.

He looked too funny and the previous appearance with the snot bubble was disgusting. Therefore, Tang Mo didnt feel any threat from his gaze.

Tang Mo thought for a moment. Do you know who we are?

The dwarf stomped on the ground. Is there anything in the Underground Kingdom that I, Sneeze doesnt know? You are Mr. A. He pointed towards Fu Wenduo. And arent you Mr. B? He pointed to Tang Mo. Sneeze spoke proudly. Do you think Sneeze is blind and dont know how to read? You can see it clearly written above your heads.

Fu Wenduos eyes widened. He pretended to be calm as he asked, Oh? You can see the letters above our heads?

Sneeze replied, Of course.

But other people on the street didnt seem to see them.

Sneeze suddenly became angry. Can those stupid people compare to our Strange Circus employees? We all eat public food and have legitimate jobs! In the entire Underground Kingdom, only our circus staff can see the letters above your head. Is this a privilege that anyone can have?

Fu Wenduo asked, Only you?

Of course only The voice stopped and Sneeze said bitterly, Well, there are the bad guys who want to steal the monster. They can also see the letters above your heads.

At these words, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduos eyes narrowed, their brains working quickly.

Tang Mo no longer wasted time with nonsense. Where is the monster? Take us to it. They had to find the monster before the players.

Sneeze said, Ah, it isnt here.

What?

The leader seized it yesterday and couldnt successfully sneak it from the Monster World. Today, it is going to be secretly sent to our circus. Speaking of which, Mr. A and Mr. B, shouldnt you hurry to the dock to pick up the monster? If the bad guys steal the monster Sneezes eyes became frightened like he was thinking of something terrible. The leader will kill us, the leader will kill us all!

Sneeze panicked and ran three laps around Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. After running three laps, Sneeze looked up and found that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were still in the same spot. He asked with surprise, Arent you going to the dock to pick up the monster?

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didnt know where the dock was. They stood in place, hiding their emotions as they quietly watched Sneeze.

Sneeze saw their appearance and his face changed. He shouted for the duo to hurry and pick up the monster. But the two people didnt move. Sneeze finally couldnt bear it anymore. His face turned red and he made a depressed expression as he pulled out five copper coins from his pocket. You are infuriating, asking for money! Here, this is the deposit the leader told me to give you. Go and pick up the monster, dont let the bad guys take it!

Tang Mo took the copper coins. The two people still didnt move.

Sneeze,

A minute later, Sneeze cried out, Okay, all 10 copper coins are for you. This is really all of the deposit that the leader gave me. You go and stop the monster from being stolen by the bad guys!

Sneeze used his hands and directly pushed Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo outside. He didnt wait for Tang Mo to say anything. Sneeze fled back into the circus tent. He covered his heart like he was scared, pulled out a piece of silver from his pocket and smiled wickedly. Hehe, this Sneeze is so smart and secretly hid it.

Brush

The tent door opened, causing the frightened Sneeze to turn around and look.

Tang Mo was showing a hint of surprise while Fu Wenduo stood behind him, staring at the dwarf from the tent holding. Sneeze stared transfixed at Tang Mo while holding a small silver coin in his hand.

Tang Mo looked at the silver coin and said, In fact, I wanted to ask you how do we get to the dock?

Sneeze,

One minute later, Tang Mo took the one silver and 10 coppers from Sneeze and headed to the dock.

Fu Wenduo wondered, The Kings Gold Coin allows us to abstain from a game. Will the silver coins and copper coins have any special effects?

Tang Mo shook his head. I grabbed these coins and the black tower didnt give me any hints. For the time being, we dont know if these coins have any special effects. They might just be ordinary coins. Previously, Santa said that he only had eight Kings Gold Coins. The special coins wouldnt be so common. I am inclined to think that these coins are really just coins.

Fu Wenduo slightly nodded.

Tang Mo added, I previously received copper coins from Grandmother Wolf and the black tower prompted me to exchange the copper coins for a prop. In the eyes of the black tower, the copper coins are worth less than props.

Fu Wenduo grabbed the key point., You are familiar with Grandmother Wolf? Tang Mo didnt ask and he hadnt told Tang Mo what he encountered in the Iron Shoemaker game.

Tang Mo thought about it. Im a bit familiar? He seemed to be Grandmother Wolfs granddaughter?

The two men didnt dwell on the subject.

Halfway to the location, Tang Mo stopped and looked at a tailors store.

Tang Mo said, The black tower will still abide by a fairness principle. The opponents are 21 people while we only have two people. Before the game started, the black tower didnt disclose our names to the 21 players. It told them that we are Mr. A and Mr. B.

Fu Wenduo added, At the same time, they dont know whether we are players or residents of the Underground Kingdom.

They looked at each other before walking into the store.

10 minutes later, a tall and handsome bard and a knight in armour walked out of the tailors store. A grey mask covered the lower half of Tang Mos face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He wore a pointed grey hat with a white feather in the brim, high boots wrapped around his legs and a piccolo hanging from his waist. At first glance, he looked like a bard in a fairy tale.

Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo was tall and handsome in his mighty armour. Fu Wenduo really looked like a medieval knight with his armour and long sword hanging from the waist. However, he wore a silver helmet that completely covered his face. Therefore, he looked a big strange and funny.

Tang Mo thought that with his face mask, the players wouldnt be able to recognize him even if he was seen by them. He hadnt expected Fu Wenduo to also use this trick.

He looked at the eccentric looking knight and suddenly felt a little funny. He said, They did know that we are players and can mistakenly think that we are the underground people, causing them to lower their guards. But it isnt convenient to call ourselves by our names when disguised as an underground person. Tang Mo thought for a moment. How about I call you Tang Ji?

Fu Wenduos face was hidden by the helmet and Tang Mo couldnt see his expression. He heard a low voice coming from the helmet, You changed my name into something with your surname, Tang?

Tang Mo knew that he misunderstood. It isnt the surname Tang, it is Tang Ji from Don Quixote. You are he is also similar. (TL: The first half of Don Quixote in Chinese is Tang Ji).

He was a crazy and eccentric knight.

Fu Wenduo contemplated. Your name is Victor.

Tang Mo suddenly froze. He looked at Fu Wenduo, his eyes wide. His heart beat quickly as the name that had been buried deep in his heart suddenly entered his mind again.

An unknown emotion emerged in his heart. After a long time, Tang Mo asked, Why am I called this?

Fu Wenduos face was covered by the helmet but Tang Mo felt that this persons gaze was on him. Fu Wenduo quickly answered, The end of Christmas, the red soaked star. Martial Song, to Victor Voroskirsky. You are a bard so this name is very suitable.

Tang Mo slowly recovered and he smile. Okay, I will be called Victor. Come on Tang Ji, lets go find the monster.

The author has something to say:

Old Fu: Good exchange of names. My surname is Tang, you are called Victor.

Tang Tang: Who exchanged names with you?
