Chapter 66: Your name is Victor.

After the Black Tower's prompt, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had already left the Nanpu Bridge. The two of them realized their situation as fast as they could, they didn't panic and started to observe the environment they were in now.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo split up and looked at both sides of the alley. They were in a narrow and dark alley, so narrow that only one person could enter and exit freely. Tang Mo checked one end of the alley, and returned to his head and said, "There is a small river over there, and I don't see anyone."

Fu Wenduo also finished checking the other side: "I have a street there."

Tang Mo's eyes lit up.

"Very few people, only three or four passing through. They are not dressed like players, more like underground people." Fu Wenduo paused, he raised his head and looked at the English letter above Tang Mo's head that was glittering with light, "This letter looks like it can't be removed." While saying this, he reached out his hand to touch the letter "B" on top of Tang Mo's head, but unfortunately, his hand completely penetrated the letter and could not touch it.

Tang Mo: "You just heard it, Fu Wenduo."

"Twenty-one players who have cleared the first floor of the Black Tower, as well as you and I?" Fu Wenduo said, "I hear you."

Tang Mo looked at him steadily, ''Those twenty-one players are all at the level of the first floor of the Black Tower. Last month, the Black Tower mandatorily opened a copy of Christmas Eve, and many players were forced to play tower attack games. According to my estimation, in the month and a half since Christmas Eve, there are at least thousands of players around the world who have passed the first level of the Black Tower. Chen Shanshan is one of them. ...... Chen Shanshan is a member of the Atak organization. So it's not surprising that twenty-one Black Tower Tier 1 players in Shanghai have entered this rally copy."

Fu Wenduo : "Players at this stage are of varying levels."

Tang Mo nodded, "Yes. When I was raiding the second floor of the Black Tower, I met two players, your brother and that Bai Ruoyao.To be honest, your brother is very smart, but his strength isn't particularly outstanding, and he should be in the middle of the pack when compared to the players on the first floor of the Black Tower. But that Bai Ruoyao guy is different. I think that although he's a Black Tower Tier 1 player, he has the level to clear the second tier of the Black Tower, it's just that he didn't attack the tower."

There are many reasons for not attacking the tower, and the fact is that most players don't want to attack the tower. Even Tang Mo, who upholds the principle of not attacking the tower if he can, was forced into the Black Tower every time he attacked it.

Tang Mo was noticed by the Black Tower because of Mario's Monopoly game, which forced him to take the first level of the Black Tower. After that, Tang Mo was noticed by the Black Tower again because of the Iron Shoemaker game, and was forced to participate in the second level of the Black Tower. Bai Ruoyao is a strong player, but it is not impossible that he has not attacked the tower, as long as he stays out of the game and is not noticed by the tower, he will not be forced to attack the tower.

Tang Mo wasn't afraid of normal Black Tower tier 1 players, he was worried about Bai Ruoyao's kind of players whose strength far exceeded tier 1 level, but were only tier 1 status.

"Twenty-one players, if they're all at the average level of one tier, our chances of winning are already very low. Assuming that one or two more Bai Ruoyao that level appear inside ......" Tang Mo's expression gradually became grave.

Fu Wenduo curled his lips, "The king only has two gold coins."

Tang Mo froze slightly and raised his head to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo pointed to himself, then pointed to Tang Mo: "Twenty-one players, two king's gold. There's not enough meat to go around. ......" After saying this word, Fu Wenduo seemed to feel that there was something strange about comparing himself to meat, Fu Wenduo paused for a moment and continued: "Tang Mo, for those twenty-one players, they are not companions. "

There are only two king's coins, but there are twenty-one players. In the Pinocchio game, eight Tang Mo players fought for a king's gold coin, one died on the spot and three others were sent to the tower attack game. Nowadays, getting the king's gold coin seems to be easier, just kill them and you get the gold coin. But can those players be united?

Only two gold coins.

Tang Mo understood what he meant and didn't answer. He gave a sudden laugh, "Are we companions?"

Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo calmly.

Tang Mo : "Killing Mr. A, I can get one of the king's gold coins. Major Fu, killing you ...... I can get one of the king's gold coins?"

Fu Wenduo, with a calm expression, asked rhetorically, "By killing Mr. B, I also get a gold coin of the king?"

In the dark alley, the two looked at each other. After a long time, Tang Mo said, "2V21, do you want to do it?"

Fu Wenduo curled his lips, "Dry!"

Without delay, having decided to accept this extremely unfair game, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo set out to leave the alley. They first tried various methods to see if they could hide the two English characters flashing above their heads. Unfortunately, no matter whether they covered them with their hands or blocked them with their clothes, the light of the two characters could not be hidden.

Since this was the case, the two of them did not force themselves, and after carefully observing the environment outside the alley, they left the alley in a big way.

There were not many people walking on the street, and they did not look at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, nor did they seem to notice the two glowing letters above their heads. Tang Mo makes a point of walking up to a two-meter tall man and exposes the letter "B" on his head in front of his eyes. The man glances at Tang Mo, carries a jar of sweet honey, and walks away from the side.

Tang Mo: "They can't see the letters above our heads?"

Fu Wenduo observed for a moment, "It seems to be invisible. But that doesn't mean the player can't see it."

Tang Mo nodded, "Let's go to the Circus of Freaks first. Our mission is to make sure the monster is not stolen by the players within seven days. First we have to find the monster." Tang Mo took out a thin advertising sheet from his backpack, Fu Wenduo looked over curiously, Tang Mo said, "This is the advertising sheet for the Circus of Oddities that I got with the props earlier, it has the map to the Circus of Oddities on it."

Tang Mo points to a crude hand-drawn map in the lower right corner of the advertisement paper, and the two men quickly recognize the way and follow it to the circus.

This advertisement was made by Tang Mo when he was playing "Monster Valley's delightful game of whack-a-mole" and hit it with Mario's hat. The hat gave Tang Mo a lot of weird and wonderful junk, except for some useless pins and a half-eaten stinky pie, but Tang Mo kept all the props that seemed to serve a purpose, just in case they could be used in the future.

Fu Wenduo looked thoughtfully at the map, and then at the top of Tang Mo's head. It was as if he had guessed something, but in order to prevent his not-so-familiar teammate from really flipping out with himself in a rage and turning to those 21 players, he just hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't voice out his guess.

With this map, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo managed to find the Cirque du Freak.

As they stood in front of this grand and tall circus, the huge domed tent exceeded Tang Mo's expectations and made his eyes widen in surprise. It was a huge tent that was about to cover the sky, and like every tent that circuses like to use, colorful ribbons were tied around the tent, and as the breeze blew, the ribbons fluttered in the bright colors that little children love so much.

However this tent was just too big. It didn't even look like a tent anymore, it looked like a building, a huge building. Compared to it, anyone became a tiny insect.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo stood at the entrance of the circus and looked at each other. Without speaking, both understood what the other meant--

Find an opportunity to sneak in.

However, before the two could move, a sharp voice came from behind them, "Aiya, you guys are finally here!"

Tang Mo's hand quickly pressed on the handle of little Yang San's umbrella, Fu Wenduo did not move and turned around to look at the short midget who jumped and ran towards the two of them. This dwarf ran all the way to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, he was less than a meter tall, reaching Tang Mo's thighs. He was wearing a green hat, and when he saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, he opened his mouth wide and intended to speak, but before he could say anything, he said, "Ah ...... Ah Qiu!"

A huge green snot bubble appeared on the short midget's nose, and he inhaled hard, sucking back the disgusting snot. Wiping his nose, the short midget crossed his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "Mr. A, Mr. B, we also spent money, what do you mean by dilly-dallying and not arriving until today!" Saying that, he opened those big copper bell-like eyes and glared viciously at Tang Mo duo.

Because he's too funny looking and the way he just snorted his nose was so disgusting, Tang Mo didn't think he was killing it with that one look. Tang Mo did not think his glance was lethal,

Tang Mo ponders for a moment, "Do you know who we are?"

The short gnome bounced hard on the ground, "Underground Man Wang Guo There's something I don't know about me Sneezy Goblin? Aren't you Mr. A," he pointed at Fu Wenduo, "Aren't you Mr. B?" He also pointed to Tang Mo, and Sneezy Spirit said proudly, "Such big words, do you think I, Sneezy Spirit, am blind, I just love to sneeze, it's not like I don't know the words. It's clearly written above your heads okay."

Fu Wenduo's eyes flashed as he pretended to be calm, "Oh? You can see the words above our heads."

Sneezy: "That's for sure."

"But the other people on the street, they don't seem to see it."

Sneezy suddenly became furious, "Can those stupid people be compared to us employees of the Freak Circus? We all eat public food and have proper careers! Is it a privilege for anyone in the whole of Underground Man Wang Guo that only we circus employees can see the words above your heads?"

Fu Wenduo: "Just you guys?"

"Of course it's only ......," the voice screeched, and the sneezers said resentfully, "Well, there's also the big bad guys who are coming to steal the monster, and they can see the writing above your heads, too."

As those words fell, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo narrowed their eyes, their minds each spinning rapidly.

Tang Mo stopped talking nonsense and said first, "Where is that monster? You lead us to it." They had to rush ahead of those players to find the monster.

Sneezy: "Ah, it's not here."

Tang Mo: "What?"

"The headmaster only caught it yesterday, before it was successfully smuggled from the monster world. It's today that it's going to be secretly sent back to our circus. Speaking of which, Mr. A, Mr. B, why don't you guys hurry to the pier and pick up the monster? If we let the bad guys steal the monster ......" Sneezy's eyes widened in horror, as if he remembered something horrible, "It's over, it's over, the ringmaster will kill, the ringmaster will kill us all!"

Sneezy Spirit panicked and ran around Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo three times. After running three laps hand over hand, Sneezy Spirit looked up and realized that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were still in the same place, he was surprised and said, "Why don't you guys go to the pier and pick up the monster?!"

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had no idea where the dock was. They stood still, quietly watching the sneezers and hiding their emotions.

The sneezing spirit's face changed when he saw them in this state, and he yelled a few more times, demanding the Tang Mo duo to hurry up and pick up the monster. But the two just didn't move. The Sneezing Spirit finally couldn't help himself, he reddened his face and pulled out five copper coins from his pocket, "I'm so mad at you, you're just asking for money! Here, this is the deposit the headmaster asked me to give you, you guys go pick up that monster, don't let the bad guys snatch it!"

Tang Mo received the copper coins. The two men still stood still and didn't move.

Sneezy Goblin: "......"

After a minute, the sneezing spirit cried, "Alright, alright, ten copper coins for all of you. That's really all the deposit the headmaster gave me. You guys go, that monster can't be taken by the bad guys!"

The Sneezy Man went straight for it, pushing Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo into the intersection. Without waiting for Tang Mo to say anything, Sneezy Spirit ran back to the circus as if he was fleeing, lifting the tent to go inside. Covering his heart in fear, he pulled out a silver coin from his pocket and smiled deviously, "Heh heh heh heh, it's still me, Sneezy Goblin, who's smart enough to secretly hide the big head."

"Brush--"

The door to the tent was pulled open and Sneezy's eyes widened in shock as he turned to look over.

Tang Mo is also a little surprised when he hears this, and Fu Wenduo stands behind him as he lifts the tent and looks at the short gnome. The sneezer looks at Tang Mo, holding a small silver coin in his hand.

Tang Mo looked down at the silver coin and said, "Actually, I wanted to come and ask you ...... how to get to the docks?"

Sneezy Goblin: "......"

A minute later, Tang Mo walks towards the docks with a silver coin and ten copper coins from the sneezers.

Fu Wenduo : "The king's gold coins can forfeit the game, will the silver and copper coins have any special role as well?"

Tang Mo shook his head, "I'm holding these coins, and the Black Tower isn't giving me any hints. At least for now, it seems that we don't know what special purpose they serve, perhaps they are just ordinary coins. Earlier, Santa Claus said that even he only owns eight of the king's gold coins, special coins surely wouldn't be so good to get, I'm more inclined to think that these coins are really just coins."

Fu Wenduo nodded slightly.

Tang Mo added, "I had also gotten copper coins from Granny Wolf before, but the Black Tower prompted me at the time that I could exchange them for other props. In the eyes of the Black Tower, copper coins are not as important as other props."

Fu Wenduo grasped the key point: "You know Granny Wolf very well?" Tang Mo didn't ask, and he never told Tang Mo what he had encountered in the Iron Shoemaker game.

Tang Mo thought for a moment, "...... kinda know each other?" It seems like he's barely the granddaughter of Granny Wolf?

The two didn't dwell on the subject.

Halfway there, Tang Mo stops and looks at a tailor's store on the side of the road.

Tang Mo : "The Black Tower still adheres to certain principles of fairness in the game. The opponents are twenty-one players, and there are only two of us. Before the game started, Black Tower did not disclose our names to the other twenty-one players, but told them that we were codenamed Mr. A and Mr. B."

Fu Wenduo added, "At the same time, they don't really know if we're players or terraformers."

The two looked at each other, turned together, and walked into this tailor store.

Ten minutes later, a tall, handsome bard and a knight in armor walked out of the tailor's store. A gray visor blocked the lower half of Tang Mo's face, revealing only a pair of calm eyes. He wore a gray pointed hat with a white feather stuck in the brim, high leather boots wrapped around his legs, and a piccolo tied around his waist, at first glance he looked like a bard from a fairy tale.

He turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo did even better, he wore a mighty armor, silver light hunting, tall and handsome. This knight outfit is very handsome, long sword tied waist, if Fu Wenduo wear, indeed very medieval knight style, but he wore a silver helmet, completely blocked the whole face. This makes him look out of place and strange, as if he were an eccentric knight, which is a bit funny.

Tang Mo thought he had done a good job of blocking his face with a mask, so even if the players saw him, they wouldn't recognize him. But I didn't realize Fu Wenduo had this trick up his sleeve.

He looked at this weird knight with a head of armor and an iron suit and suddenly felt a bit funny. He said, "They don't know we're players, so this will allow them to mistake us for Underlanders and reduce their defenses, as well as save them from running into players they know. But since we have to disguise ourselves as underground people, it's no longer convenient to call us by our names." Tang Mo thought for a moment and said, "How about your name is Don?"

Fu Wenduo's face was hidden in the helmet, and Tang Mo could not see his expression. He heard a low male voice ringing out from the helmet, "Change your name, I'll take your surname Tang?"

Tang Mo knew that he misunderstood: "Not Tang, it's Don Koder's Don. You are ...... quite similar to him." Kinda like that crazy wacky knight.

Fu Wenduo pondered for a long time, "Your name is Victor."

Tang Mo suddenly froze. He looked at Fu Wenduo, his eyes slightly open. In his chest, he heard his heart gradually beating very fast, and a person that he had buried in the bottom of his heart for a long time without thinking about it suddenly returned to his memory.

An unspoken emotion welled up in his heart, and after a long time, Tang Mo asked, "Why am I called that?"

Fu Wenduo's expression was blocked in his helmet, but Tang Mo could feel the man's gaze fixed on his own. Fu Wenduo answered quickly, saying lightly, "Ending another Christmas, red drenched in stars and stripes. Ode to Martial Law, for Victor Woloskirski. You're a bard, it suits the name."

Tang Mo slowly came back to his senses as he laughed, "Ok, I'll call Victor then. come on Don, go find the monster."
