Chapter 339 44. The Path of the Echoer
Li Ozi rolled his eyes, and then a message popped up in the system:
——————————
[You triggered the career mission——"Echo of Life"]
【Type】: Road
【Term】: None
[Task Difficulty]: A
【Introduction】：
"They dissolved the commune, dissolved my home, and destroyed my research results. But this is not over yet. They still don't understand that the fate of individual life is not traceable."
A glass of wine, a name, an organization buried in history.
The Life Commune, the greatest destiny deconstruction project in the Abyss, has brought together 400 of the best engineering scholars. Their goal is to deconstruct the limits of life entropy and completely crack the [Mutants] that has troubled scholars for five thousand years. The mystery of the arcana held.
Is it the power of fate, the expression of genes, or another unknown mysterious technology?
What exactly is arcana?
For you, your career as a [Mutant] has come to an end, and you cannot find further advancement in your life. Your former companions are constantly making breakthroughs and progress, and they are following in the footsteps of the gods.
[䱱, the master of genes, are you just willing to be a mortal creature that mutates? ]
You already have a completely different destiny in mind.
The mysterious whisper becomes clearer in your ears:
[Yes, you shouldn't stop here - Son of Yuanyuan. ]
An unpopular and lonely road slowly unfolded in front of you.
[Keep moving forward, you must be passionate, romantic, full of warmth, and your hands should be dripping with blood. ]
Yuanyuan Tianzun keeps calling you, but where is your future?
[Let the universe bow its head and listen to the echoes you trigger. ]
【Settlement Conditions】：
A. "Visiting an Old Friend" - Alder Midkarsh Liu'e, a former member of the Life Commune, is still active somewhere and continues her research. In the dark, you seem to feel , there will be meaningful help for you, visit her and learn about her career;
Reward: Start the next plot mission
B. "Travel Insurance" - An expensive special plane to your destination is not something you can afford now. Find a companion who is not lower than Delta level and travel with you to get Olafur to agree to let you go.
Reward: Olafur will open a new module, and you can purchase the ‘Olafur’s Boutique Wine’ series directly in the game [Mall].
————————————
"Is Delta level enough?"
When Li Aozi saw the second condition, he simply turned on the communicator and logged into the free mercenary network, preparing to find a cheap, durable mercenary.
Olafur's premium wine is a very good product. It can provide certain attribute bonuses or BUFFs. It is very cost-effective. Since there is a chance to unlock it in the early stage, you are welcome to Li Ozi.
"Let me take a look, tsk, Valkyrie Fortress is really expensive! It is indeed a territory controlled by a bunch of Red King's joint groups. The cost of each mercenary almost includes service tax and star port. Tax..."
Li Ozi touched his chin and quickly browsed the information on these mercenaries.
He mainly looked at the price, but a Delta-level mercenary would start with 3,000 ammonium, and a Gamma-level mortal couldn't be lured over to recharge.
Li Ozi doesn't have much ammonium on hand, so he can save whatever he can in the short term.
Li Ozi rowed for a long time, and suddenly, someone sat next to him.
"Yo, little brother."
He turned around, and saw an elf with a chocolate-like complexion sitting demurely next to him, holding her chin with one hand. The simple and cheap mechanical exoskeleton could not cover her slender and hot figure. Once she met Li Ozi's eyes, on, immediately showing a charming smile:
"It seems that you are looking for free mercenaries?"
"Dark Elf?" Li Ozi was surprised: "Although I know that Valkyrie Fortress has all races... But I didn't expect that an advanced race like Dark Elf would actually become a free mercenary."< br>
Dark elves and night elves are two different races, and most people in Layer Abyss can't tell them clearly. After all, both races have equally dark skin.
Li Ozi knew it in detail: elves are a typical case where blood determines class. High-level dark elves, radiant elves, flood elves, steel elves and maggot elves are inherently superior to other elves in terms of status, even in the interstellar world. In the era, low-level elves had to kneel down to say hello when they saw high-level elves.
"Oh, my family is in decline, my family is in decline."
The dark elf waved his hand and said with a smile:
"My name is Flora Night Whisper. As you can see, I am a Delta-level mercenary who is dedicated to her job. You will never go wrong choosing me."
As she spoke, she turned her head and whispered in Li Aozi's ear:
"And I'm so cheap, I can get it for one thousand..."
As she spoke, there was a slight pink glimmer in her eyes, and her tone suddenly became seductive and full of charm.
"Choose me, little brother. I haven't made a bill for two days. If I don't make a bill, I will be living on the street..."
[You are subject to [Failed Charm] by ‘Ravna Night Whisper’, make a [Will] check]
Ravna whispered, confidently.
She just saw the bartender greeting Li Ozi respectfully, and with the elf's unique super hearing, she also heard words such as 50,000 ammonium gold. No need to think too much, this is definitely a rich man!
The bar owner Olafur specializes in reception? What kind of treatment is this? It shows that he is a big shot.
With money, background, and Zhou Zheng's appearance, who could resist this? If such an outstanding man ran away, Ravna felt that she would be ridiculed by her peers for the rest of her life.
[Feat·[Arbitrary] is triggered, and the test item this time is changed to [Charisma]. 】
'whee! I'm so lucky to be so young, and I must still be an innocent young man who has no experience in the world. If you give full play to your racial advantages, you will definitely win both love and career. ’
When I think about myself being directly promoted to a wealthy family, wearing a red backless dress and holding a glass of expensive red wine, the two unlucky guys who have always looked down on me will have to kneel on the ground to beg me in the future.
[The test is super successful - you have invalidated this charm! 】
‘No, no, no, the pattern is bigger. ’
Ravna glanced provocatively at Calvin Magnet, who was sitting stupidly on the sofa, and the Crocodile Prophet with his hands clasped together, making the sign of the cross in front of him.
Immediately, she changed her previous dignified and charming look and showed a cheeky smile as if her plan had succeeded:
‘Quack, quack, quack! By then I will definitely be a rich wife and achieve financial freedom, so why do I still need to stay in this shabby fortress? Whether it's cleaning toilets or mining, I don't need to do it anymore. I have to cultivate elegant hobbies...but...'
[[Charm] Completely crushed! 】
‘But…’
For some reason, Ravna subconsciously turned her head to look at the young boy in front of her.
The blond hair hangs down casually and naturally, and the emerald green eyes are clear and beautiful, but they look so suitable when matched with his handsome and clear-cut facial features. The caster's unique bookishness, the solid and tough body under the coat, combined with his innocent eyes, make people easily think of a little lion who broke away from the group for the first time.
thumping!
[Check counter-activation, [Sustainable·Hunting Love] effect is activated! 】
‘Goooo…’
Ravna swallowed, turned her head quickly, covered her mouth, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with a pink aura of excitement. Her shoulders were shaking, and she kept breathing out hot air, and at the same time, she gave herself two quick slaps.
‘What am I doing? I'm such a scumbag for wanting to attack such an innocent child! I am guilty and I need to reflect! ’
[Verification passed. 】
Her heart beat rapidly. When she quietly looked at the young, inexperienced, innocent and shy Li Ozi, she felt cute, sexy, beautiful and charming, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of love in her heart.
[You in turn caused the [Charm] effect on ‘Ravna Nightwhisper’]
"One thousand ammonium gold, that's quite cheap."
Li Ozi glanced at the screen and said:
"But this one called Calvin Magnet only costs 500 gold, and the one next to it called Crocodile Prophet only costs 600 gold, and it also comes with a divination."
"...Huh?"
Ravna was startled.
She turned her head and saw the two old men on the sofa behind her smiling at the same time.
"You, you two won't-"
Ravna's eyelids twitched.
"I can't help it, people are calling me by my name."
"What a coincidence, he also called me by my name."
The two of them bumped their fists in tacit understanding, stood up, passed by Ravna, and patted her on the shoulder in a 'comforting' way.
"Hey, respected employer, I am Calvin Magnet. Whoever dares to bully you, I will definitely be able to take a beating for you."
"Aminai, donor, crocodiles are not good at fighting, but if they can help you escape in a spaceship, that's absolutely fine."
"Are you so violent in your involution?"
Li Ozi deliberately touched his chin:
"It's really cheap. 500 and 600 ammonium gold, even if they are added up, are completely within the budget - how about I hire you all?"
Ka——
For a moment, Ravna heard the sound of her heart breaking.
"Wait!"
Ravna suddenly rushed up and said excitedly:
"I only need 400 ammonium gold! Don't let these two idiots make money!"
Seeing her buddies making money was more uncomfortable than not being able to make money herself.
"What? Ravna, your joke is too much, I'll give you 300!" Magnet quickly raised his hand.
The crocodile prophet drew a six-pointed star on his chest and muttered: "Immortal life, Amen. This is vicious competition. Buddha said: If not - I'll be a hundred."
"Free!"
Ravna hugged Li Ozi's shoulders and begged: "Please, I'll pay for the room and board, don't let them make a penny!"
"Okay." Li Ozi said reluctantly: "It's just you, Miss Ravna."
Before Ravna could react, Cavin Magnet and Crocodile Prophet immediately stepped aside in tacit agreement and quietly celebrated:
"Okay! She looks like a gold digger! Ravna should just obediently deliver the courier."
"I tricked the idiot Ravna again. I'm so happy. I never get tired of playing."
There are actually 4k monthly passes this month. Thank you all for your hard work and support.
I'm going to type the name of the bounty owner. I hope everyone will get over the post-holiday syndrome as soon as possible.
