Chapter 264 Three Emails
Seeing Xiao Jie lost in thought, Chen Tianwen asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why are you so anxious for money? Want to buy a house?"
"I I need to go to Jintuan to buy something." Xiao Jie explained his troubles helplessly, and suddenly smiled: "How about you lend me some?"
"Okay, but I can't borrow much, since I left. After Pantheon, I don’t have many sources of income in the game.”
“Aren’t you a major in alchemy?”
Xiao Jie has seen the elixirs in the auction house. As for medicine, a high-grade elixir can be sold for a few taels of silver, and top-level elixirs can even be sold for more than ten taels or dozens of taels.
Chen Tianwen shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as you think. Pills are indeed profitable, but the competition is also fierce. Each major guild has its own alchemist, and the materials for making pills are also expensive. Common pills Basically, I can only earn a processing fee. Only a unique secret recipe can really make money, so I can only make a small profit."
"Then just lend me as much as possible. "
"Okay, let me lend you three hundred taels, is that enough?"
Xiao Jie said that he was really brave, but he said it was not much? Three hundred taels! The monkey wine I have been selling for so long has not sold more than 300 taels in total.
"Absolutely!" Xiao Jie said.
Chen Tianwen casually withdrew the magic circle: "Let's agree first, this money must be paid back."
"Okay, okay, I can't do anything wrong with you."
Xiao Jie promised, "When will you give me the money? I'll use it tomorrow."
"I'll send it to you via the post later. You just go to the post to pick it up." ”
On the way home, Xiao Jie was still pondering over what Chen Tianwen just said, feeling quite emotional in his heart. He didn’t expect that so many things had happened in the past. No wonder he always felt that the government’s attitude towards games was like this. weird.
I don’t care much about being in charge.
However, it is obvious that the government has not really let it go. Needless to say, the "Old Land Player Management Regulations" of the Game Management Bureau can also control players to a certain extent.
Secondly, the Dragon Soaring Knights were most likely formed under the government's instructions, but they probably weren't directly affiliated with them. This can be seen from the composition of the personnel. Most of them were recruited in the game. Peripheral members.
It can be seen that the official attitude towards the game does not dare to be too deeply involved, but Long Xingtianxia definitely had a government background before, and may even have been a soldier.
This is probably a second-best method for the government. Judging from the development of the Dragon Knights, the being who created the game doesn't mind this.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came back to myself. It is useless to think so much. It is the last word to become stronger.
If you can become an immortal, what if you are a government official?
Guns and cannons can kill martial arts masters, but I don’t believe that gods can also be killed. When the time comes, I want to take revenge and save people, which can be said to be a happy life.
Now that I know the official reason, I have no worries anymore.
He even vaguely speculated that the existence that created the game was similar to the main god in Infinite Horror, and wanted to watch the game players evolve?
Xiao Jie returned home soon.
I couldn’t wait to log in to the game. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon. There was no delivery time in GameStop. Chen Tianwen’s remittance should have arrived.
Coming to the inn, this inn in Canglin Prefecture is also quite unique. It is an independent wooden building located on the branches of a giant tree branch. The branches around the roof are full of birds, rows of them. , all have postal bags hanging on them, with the word "mail" written on them. Looking at this situation, the post station in Canglin Prefecture actually uses birds to deliver letters and deliver items.
Of course this thing is just a background, the emails in the game actually arrive within seconds.
Xiao Jie reported his identity to the postman and asked to receive the mail.
The postman was a horse-headed man. Hearing Xiao Jie's name, he nodded and said: "Ah, it turns out to be Yin Yue Suifeng. There are indeed three copies of your mail here. Please sign for them."
Huh? Three emails?
Xiao Jie took the email and opened it one after another behind his back.
The first email was a letter. To his surprise, it turned out to be a long-awaited professional task.
[Yinyue Suifeng:
Hello, Your Excellency, I heard that you are an ancient Qi Refiner and have inherited the ancient Qi Refining Technique. This association is very interested in this technology. I am interested and have been researching related content, so I am sending you this letter.
Hope to cooperate to study the ancient Qi refining technique.
This association has mastered a lot of information about ancient Qi refining techniques and is in urgent need of qualified practitioners.
You can choose one of the following three tasks to complete.
I look forward to your enlightenment on the practice of ancient Qi refining.
Signed: Qi Refining Research Association]
Xiao Jie is speechless, is there such an organization in this game? It feels a bit like it was randomly generated by the system. I have never heard of the name of this organization before.
Besides, the association and the like don’t fit in with this ancient oriental background.
Forget it, at least there are professional tasks to do.
[System prompt: To trigger a career mission, please choose one of the following three career missions. Note: Players can only choose one career mission. Abandoned missions cannot be reselected. Please choose carefully. 】
Task 1: Explore the ruins.
Task content: Deep in the ancient mountains of Canglin Prefecture, there is a mysterious valley that has long been mysterious. It is said to be one of the dojos where ancient qigong masters practiced immortality and Taoism. Although the qigong masters in this dojo did not No achievements were made, and they all eventually disappeared in the long river of history. However, according to the research of this association, the ruins still have great academic research value. It is very likely that the secret method of using spiritual energy for ancient Qi training can be found in the ruins.
Please find the ruins and explore in depth.
Task reward: Qi refining secret method × 3.
Mission 2: Cave Heaven Paradise.
Task content: Deep in the great swamp of Mengze State, someone discovered a strange sinkhole. A large number of powerful monsters were born in the sinkhole. This society is very interested in this. After research, there are It is very likely that the sinkhole is a place where spiritual energy gathers, the legendary 'Dongtian Blessed Land' of Qi Refiners.
Please find the sinkhole and explore it in depth.
Note: The monsters contained in the sinkhole may cause unpredictable risks to exploration operations, so please be mentally prepared.
Task reward: Aura value × 5000.
Task 3: Mysterious Map
Task Content: We once found the body of a Qi Master in a cave. The body had no external injuries and was as lifelike as a living person. , unable to determine the specific cause of death, and found a map in his hand. The map did not indicate what was hidden in the marked location, so it was possible to encounter any kind of danger or opportunity.
Please find the location indicated on the map and find out what it is.
Task reward:? ? ? ?
Xiao Jie glanced at the three tasks, thought for a moment and then made his choice.
Mission 2 was abandoned first. He now has the Immortal Gourd, which can absorb the monster inner elixir to refine spiritual energy. The 5,000 spiritual energy has little meaning to him. If he does not have the Immortal Gourd, he can consider it.
Mission 3 is too vague, and the possibilities of rewards and risks are very huge. If you change to other games, you can consider taking a gamble. In this death game, you don’t have to think about it and give up decisively.
Then choose mission one.
This secret method of refining Qi is still very useful. Although it is not commonly used in daily life, it is definitely a powerful skill at critical moments.
Speaking of it, apart from unlocking a few legendary traits, I, an ancient qigong master, have very few skills. Now I can finally expand my skill tree.
System prompt: Accept the task [Search for ruins] and obtain the item - ruins map. The ruins have been marked on your map.
I opened the map and looked at it. It's okay. It's not too far away. It's located in the mountains to the north of Canglin Prefecture. Maybe I can search for it when I go back to kill the monster BOSS.
Open the second email.
Another letter and an accompanying item. Hey, isn't this a phantom spirit bead?
Looking at the sparkling bead in the email, Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this thing on the white ape? Why did you send it back to yourself?
He took a look at the letter, and sure enough it was written to him by White Ape.
【See it as if it is true:
Boy, how are you always? Brother, I've had enough fun outside, and now I've returned to Hou'er Mountain. It's useless for me to keep this bead, so I'll send it back to you.
If you are grateful for the friendship with my old brother, if you have time, come to Hou'er Mountain to see me. If you don't have time, forget it.
Yuan Baishu:]
Xiao Jie frowned when he read the contents of the letter. It is naturally a good thing that the Phantom Pearl was lost, but why did White Ape give up? Could it be that——an uneasy thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Is this old monkey about to die?
The more I think about it, the more it seems possible.
Although the content of the letter is simple, it contains a hint of relief from having seen through the world.
The signature was Yuan Baishu. Obviously, he recognized himself as a human being, but he still exchanged the Phantom Pearl for himself. Could it be that he felt that the time had come, so he returned to Hou'er Mountain to wait for death?
No, after finishing the task this time, I have to go to Hou'er Mountain for a trip when I go back.
The third letter, this time I finally got money from Chen Tianwen.
A transfer of three hundred taels.
There is also a message from Chen Tianwen.
【Save some flowers, I won't have any more, don't forget to return it to me in the future - Chen Tianwenshu】
Looking at the hundreds of extra taels that suddenly appeared in the bag Silver, Xiao Jie said in his heart that there would be no problem now.
We can definitely take down the heads of those BOSSs tomorrow.
Xiao Jie went to the auction house for some shopping first. Although the money was mainly used to auction things, his supplies should also be improved.
At present, the medicines he uses are still ordinary store products.
Golden Sore Medicine (large amount) - Restores 150 health points.
Qi-Cheng Dan - restores 100 points of internal energy.
Belidan - Restores 100 points of physical strength.
This amount of recovery cannot be said to be useless, but the effect is really not great. I am so nervous during the battle, and it takes time to take medicine, so the chances of recovery are too few. Every time Taking medicine is precious, so the amount of reply is not enough.
Xiao Jie directly bought some mid-to-high-end elixirs—the top ones were still unaffordable.
Xiao Huan Dan - restores 200 points of internal energy. For 1,200 coins each, Xiao Jie bought ten of them in one go.
Dragon Power Pill - Restores 400 points of physical strength. 800 yuan a piece. Bought ten.
Life and Fortune Pill - Restores 300 health points within 10 seconds. It costs 1,000 yuan a piece, and I bought ten of them.
I have to say that these high-end medicines are really expensive. Dali Pill only costs 50 Wen per pill, Dragon Power Pill directly increases the price by 16 times, but Restoration Pill only increases by eight times.
The Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill is even more exaggerated. The effect is twice as effective as the Golden Sore Medicine (in large quantities), and the price is directly five times higher.
But in order to save your life, you have to invest in this.
After all, it is really a critical moment, how can there be so much time for you to slowly take medicine and recover.
Of course, Xiao Jie also brought ordinary elixirs with him. He should use ordinary elixirs when there is no emergency, and use valuable ones in emergencies.
Ready and waiting for the fight to start tomorrow.
Early the next morning, all eight people in the group arrived at the assembly point on time.
For today's action, everyone is well prepared and armed, and each of them has a lot of money in their bags.
The Jiujianxian obviously watched the video of Xiao Jie's battle with Xiong Ba, and became much more polite to Xiao Jie after they met.
“Oh, Brother Suifeng, no, it’s Brother Suifeng. Yesterday I was blind to Mount Tai, and my tone was a bit harsh. Brother Suifeng, don’t be offended.”
Xiao Jie I'm a little uncomfortable with the changes in Jiujianxian for a while. Even if you recognize my strength, just be polite as normal, why do you sound even vaguely flattering?
"Haha, it's okay. My level is a bit low. We just need to understand each other's reactions to normal people."
An Ran suddenly chuckled, as if he saw something.
“Don’t be dumbfounded, let’s pick up the mission quickly.”
Hao Mie also said: “Let’s go, let’s go pick up the mission.”
Very much Soon everyone arrived in front of the reward list.
This is a huge stone tablet, standing at the foot of the giant tree, where traffic meets, but I saw it written on it——
A Notice to the People:
Our Canglin Prefecture has outstanding people and a blessed place for all living beings.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, a demon star comes to the world outside, causing trouble in the world, and there are a group of demons inside that cause trouble, and all living beings are in chaos.
Zhou Mu Xiaoyue, the real person, wanted to resist the attack of the demons from the Demon Star Tower and had no way to escape, so he recruited brave men to eliminate the demons for the people. However, those who succeeded would be rewarded heavily.
There are thirty-six monster leaders in this list, all of whom have bounties on their heads, and the public will fight for them.
First place: Green Dragon King - level 58 BOSS. The reward amount is 3,000 taels.
Second place: Golden Crow King - Level 55 BOSS. The reward amount is 2,500 taels.
Third place: Black Lion King - Level 48 BOSS. Reward amount - 2,000 taels.
Fourth place...
Xiao Jie dropped directly to the bottom of the list.
No. 34: Ying Baiyu (Goshawk Monster) - Level 25 leader level BOSS. The reward amount is 400 taels.
No. 35: Li Jinlin (Carp Spirit) - Level 23 leader level BOSS. The reward amount is 300 taels.
No. 36: Niu Dali (Huang Niu Jing) - Level 26 leader-level BOSS. Reward amount - 200 taels.
Seeing the last three, Xiao Jie was slightly startled. This list looked weird.
Why is level 26 Niu Dali ranked last?
And why are the first few kings XX, they have no names, and they are just BOSS. Most of the ones at the back have human-like names, and are they all leader-level BOSSs?
There seems to be something said here.
He clicked the name on the ranking with the mouse, and he was able to bring up the identity description of the BOSS.
Niu Dali (Cattle Spirit)
The monster's life: He once served as a nurse for the horseman's family in Anping Town. Because the horseman withheld food and salary for three years, he slaughtered the horseman in a rage. The whole family became angry and turned into bandits, eating people and turning into monsters, committing evil and lawlessness, and gradually became a disaster.
Niu Dali recruited many cow demon tenants and drove them to recruit more than a hundred demon bandits from nearby mountains to establish a stronghold in Manniu Mountain.
The mayor of Anping Town once led a militia team to attack the mountains and suppress them, but he was defeated and died in the army.
If there is a hero who takes his head and returns it, Canglin Prefecture will reward him with 200 taels of silver and grant him the title of [Demon-Subduing Warrior].
