Chapter 29 An Unexpected Gain
"Brother Ziri, we finally meet again! Do you still remember me?"
"Ah? Are you...?" It was completely unexpected that this guy actually knew me!
The child of the night looked back at me. "your friend?"
I nodded and shook my head violently. "I do not know him!"
"I'm so sad!" The knight let his mount go to the front of the team. "Let me remind you. Four months ago, under the Snowy Mountains?"
"Four months ago?" Four months ago, I seemed to have just walked out of the underground labyrinth. At that time, I seemed to have been looking for the blood of all spirits in inaccessible places. I don't remember having an affair with anyone. ah! But it seems that I became the devil at that time. It was all due to luck. I was practicing my voice on the top of the mountain, but it caused an avalanche and killed so many people! "Ah! Is it you? You are the guy who was killed by me in the avalanche!" I seemed to have killed someone when I was rolling down the mountain. The guy seemed to be fighting a boss at that time, and he was killed by me. The boss was crushed together!
"Yes, you finally remembered it!" The knight took out his sword from his waist. "Shall we duel? It's not my style to have so many people surrounding you. Oh! I forgot to tell you, my name is Haotian. After you die, you can come to me for revenge! Let's do it!"
"Brother Haotian! It was really an accident that day. I really didn't mean it! Do you think that if it was really to cause an avalanche to kill people, is it necessary for me to be involved? I was killed in that avalanche myself!"
"I don't care about that. Anyway, what I received was a notification that I was killed by a malicious PK from the player Ziri. I was fighting the boss at the time. Do you know how important that is to me? Just because you and I didn't change jobs into pseudo-dragon knights." You just became an ordinary knight, and you are responsible for it!"
"Does this count?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you accept the duel, fight me. If you don't accept, fight a group of us!"
"Just hit me! I'm afraid you won't succeed!" I jumped off Ye Ying's back. "How are you going to fight? A cavalry fight, a dismounted infantry fight, or a free fight?"
"I will fight with you freely! There are no rules or restrictions!" Almost as soon as he finished speaking, I received a prompt to apply for a duel. This kind of duel that does not take place in the duel field can start at any time. Both parties in the duel will not be red if they kill each other, but they will still lose items and experience when they die. It is basically an unlimited PK.
After I accepted the duel application, Haotian rushed up immediately. "Hard collision!" He directly bumped into me with his shoulder. Of course, I couldn't stand and let him hit me.
"Son of the Night, get out of the way first!"
The Son of the Night immediately teleported to the big tree next to him, and Yeying immediately came up to help without having to take the Son of the Night with him. With a bang, Ye Ying's tail collided with Haotian's shoulder. After all, Haotian is not a monster, and he is definitely not as powerful as Ye Ying. As soon as the impact was over, Haotian flipped out completely, but he did a backflip in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
"What a powerful monster! Your magic pet is very powerful!"
You haven’t seen it yet! "Lucky, Plague, Crystal! Attack!" The sudden appearance of the three giant dragons startled Haotian, and Lucky's big tail struck down where he stood like an axe. He rolled sideways to avoid the tail attack. Because Lucky couldn't hold back his momentum, he slashed his tail to the ground, and the pointed tail was suddenly inserted into the soil. Haotian, who had just escaped a disaster, saw a black shadow covering him before he could stand still. He immediately stepped aside a few meters away. The ground shook, and the plague's claws landed next to him within a few centimeters. The huge force forced the huge claws to penetrate more than a meter deep into the soil.
Haotian, who had been fooled, was swept into the sky by Lucky's claw before he could react. Crystal raised his head and faced the small dot in the sky, which was a dragon flame bomb. The purple dragon flame bomb flew towards Haotian in the sky, two points touched in the air, and then exploded into a starlight like fireworks.
The child of the night covered his eyes with his hands: "What a beautiful high-altitude fireworks!"
None of the people brought by Haotian moved around. The attack just now had everyone restrained. There are only a few reasons for obedience between players in the game world. Either the team of friends chooses a leader who can be easily commanded, or there are common interests and trends, or there is someone who is really powerful and worthy of following. The fact that Haotian can bring so many people out shows that his strength is not bad, but he was killed in just 5 seconds in front of three giant dragons. This power comparison is certainly not acceptable to them.
I walked up to Lucky and the others and said, "You three are still not very good at cooperating! How can you keep doing this all the time? You are dragons. You want to be superior to all living things. How can you do it if it takes 5 seconds to deal with one person! Okay! Now, let’s go back to the pet space to practice cooperation!”
After collecting the three-headed dragon, the Night Child suddenly appeared next to me. "How many magic pets do you have? At first I saw you brought 10 knights, two beauties and this mount, but now you actually have three dragons! I really can't see through you! Your equipment If you complain like this, why don't you let them go up and fight?"
"My equipment blames me?"
"Yes! Didn't you hear?" Ye Zhizi looked confused.
"Can you hear them talking?" This child of the night is really strange.
"Who did it just now?" A majestic voice appeared from my side, among the dumbfounded crowd.
The crowd automatically parted a path to both sides, and a knight riding a giant lizard came out. "Tell me, who killed my brother?" The fingers of the three to four hundred people present were all pointing at me. "Is it you?" The other person's voice was suspicious, obviously not believing that I could kill his brother.
A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in the crowd immediately ran to the side of the mighty black-armored knight. "Boss, this guy has three giant dragons!"
"Oh? Someone who can lead a dragon?" The knight jumped down from the lizard, whirring the huge long-handled battle ax, and then suddenly stopped and pointed the tip of the ax at me. "Join us and spare your life!"
Another one who got addicted after watching too much martial arts TV! I am now eager to ask the Son of Night about the equipment, and this guy actually came out to cause trouble at this time. He said to the son of the night: "Wait for me for 10 seconds!" With the sword in hand, blue flames suddenly appeared on the black sword. Head straight for that idiot.
The opponent's big ax struck me horizontally, and I held my sword in one hand and blocked it lightly. Ding! The front half of the ax flew out with a crisp collision. The weapon destructive properties of the Heaven-Destroying Blade finally take effect! While he was still holding half of the long handle in a daze, I approached him and struck again with the sword. In a flash of blue light, I was back to the Son of the Night. The knight was still standing stupidly holding half of the ax handle. I inserted the sword into the scabbard with a beautiful sheathing movement, turned around and jumped on Ye Ying's back. "Son of the Night, let's go!"
The Son of the Night looked at the knight who was still standing there, then turned around and appeared behind me. Ye Ying took us and quickly disappeared into the forest. During this period, no one thought of intercepting us.
It wasn't until we ran far away that those people realized that their boss was still standing there in the same daze as at the beginning. The guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked up and patted their boss. "Boss?"
"Ah!" the girl screamed!
"Ugh!" the men vomited!
"Plop!" A fainting voice.
After being patted, the knight turned into more than 300 irregular pieces of meat scattered on the ground. Many people around him were frightened and fainted!
At the same time, Son of the Night, who was riding on Ye Ying's back, asked, "Why don't you kill him?"
"I'll kill him! I've cut him into more than 300 pieces, what else can I do?"
"But why is there no response?"
"Then I don't know. Maybe it's a sword problem. This move is A Dianna's special skill. I just learned it, but I've never used it! I didn't expect it to be so effective!"
"It's really amazing! Can you learn your skills casually?"
"No! I can learn the skills of my humanoid demon pet at will, probably because it is my demon pet. I can't learn the skills of other people's demon pets, let alone those of other players!"
"I thought you had the same eagle eye skills as me!"
"Eagle Eye Technique?"
"Yeah! It's a rubbish skill. Its main function is to have a certain possibility of learning the skills used by the other party, but the success rate is too low, and it cannot be upgraded, so it is useless whether it is there or not. I have never used it to learn anything. A skill!"
"By the way, what do you mean by complaining about the equipment you just mentioned?" I suddenly remembered that I hadn't asked the actual question yet!
"You really can't hear me?"
"What did you hear?" I was confused!
"It's the sound of equipment! High-end equipment has souls. Your equipment is all artifacts, and they are also growth-type equipment. They are the best of the best, and you don't use them!"
"Who says I'm useless? Don't I wear it all the time?"
Nightborne shook his head. "Your equipment says that you never participate in wars by yourself. They say that every battle is fought by your demon pet and demon servant. They have never participated in a few real wars." His expression suddenly changed to one of surprise. . "What? They said you still have thousands of skeletons?"
It seems that this child of the night can indeed communicate with equipment, otherwise he would not know me so clearly unless he follows me every day. "Ask me why they are so eager to join the war?"
"They say that they are a mixture of dragons and dark forces. The dragons are warlike and the dark forces are bloodthirsty, so only the blood on the battlefield can stimulate their growth. There are a lot of attributes on your equipment that cannot be used because I haven’t really participated in a battle!”
"Are you saying that as long as I participate in more battles in the future, I can directly improve the combat effectiveness of my equipment?"
"It's not what I said, it's what your equipment said. I can just hear their voices! By the way, is it that you can't hear the sound of the equipment or that other players can't hear it?"
"I'm afraid it's your problem. No one I know can hear the soul of the equipment. If you can hear it, you are already an alien! But I probably know what's going on!"
"Then tell me quickly?"
"You can't bring a pet, right? The customer service said they were compensated, and I guess that's the compensation. You are the only person in the game who can communicate directly with equipment!"
"But I'm so at a loss! Look at how powerful you are with so many magic pets, but my attribute is of no use at all!"
"Who said that? Although your attribute is not very helpful to your own combat effectiveness, it is indeed a tool for making money! Think about it, as long as it is a high-end equipment, it will have a soul. And those who have high-end equipment will have a soul. They are powerful people, and people like them are very rich. You just need to open a shop to help people look at equipment and teach others how to improve their combat effectiveness. If you say there are so many good equipment in the whole game, who won't come? Looking for you? Your method of upgrading equipment does not have an explosion rate problem. It is better than upgrading equipment to make it explode. Do you think it is a popular industry? Besides, you are the only one in the world, which means you have a monopoly. You don’t decide the status and the price? As for the benefits of being rich, I don’t need to tell you, right?”
"It's really a good skill to hear you say that!" The Son of the Night also became happy. "Do you think I should open a store now?"
"Don't worry! I am preparing to build a city now. When my city is built, I will give you a storefront so you can open a store."
Ye Zhizi smiled and said: "How can I be embarrassed to let you give it away for free!"
"Who said I gave it away for free? There will definitely be a huge crowd of people looking for you to see the equipment. I only need to pay the city fees! This is called using special industries to stimulate local economic construction!" I still have some economic acumen!
"By the way, since you can communicate with equipment, why don't you also communicate with my sword?"
"What do you want to communicate with him?"
"Ask him what those white things that fly out when he attacks are?"
The Son of the Night paused for a while and said: "He said they are flying blades. A total of 9 can be shot. The flying blades will come back automatically after flying out. Any place where the flying blades pass is equivalent to being cut by a sword, as long as the hardness is not too high. Things usually just get cut off.”
"Yes, it is indeed a good sword!" I took the hilt and looked at it carefully. Because it was still burning with dark flames, I didn't touch the sword body. "I will try to fight on my own from now on!"
"Then where are we going now?"
"Go fix this!" I threw the helmet to the Night Child. "what did he say?"
"He didn't say anything, he kept shouting that it hurt!"
"I guess it's about the same!"
With the Son of the Night, we flew all the way to Leng Jade, a city outside the dark forest. This is the first city I went to after leaving Novice Village. Walking on the street, it feels like there are still so few people. There are no suitable leveling spots near this small city. There are no advantages at all except being close to the dark forest. The lack of people is understandable. I suddenly remembered that I had promised to give some cosmetics to the elf lady who helped me change my job (end of Chapter 5 of Volume 1), and asked the Son of the Night to wait for me at the door of the teleportation point, and I ran onto the street myself.
Cosmetics are non-combat necessities and can only be sold in grocery stores. Fortunately, I had stayed in Leng Feicui for a while and was familiar with the location of the store, so I rushed into the grocery store without taking any detours. When I, a grown man, entered, the girls in the store immediately focused their attention. Most of the items sold in the grocery store are girls' things. Men rarely come in, and even if they do, they come with their female companions. Seeing me running in alone without my female companion, all the girls looked at me in surprise.
I didn't care about the obviously overheated looks they gave me, and walked up to the boss. "Boss, give me 15 boxes of the best cosmetics!" Except for the female elf administrator, my wife always gives me a box! There are also Bingbing, Hongyue, Ziyue, Bailing, Jincoin, Shura Ziyi, Xiao Sumei, and even the six eldest ladies of Sakura Club cannot be forgotten! In this way, 15 boxes is just right!
The boss came over immediately. Unlike the curious little girl, the boss only looked at profit. "We have more than 3,000 cosmetics in different sizes. Which one do you want?"
"I want the best!"
The boss smiled and said: "Sir, are you buying cosmetics for your girlfriend? Men really don't know much about women's things. There are many kinds of the best cosmetics. It doesn't mean that the most expensive ones are necessarily the best!" The boss is obviously an NPC. , there is no selfish mentality at all, it would be great if the boss in reality was so good!
"Then can you recommend it to me?"
"I have a big gift package here. Just one box and everything is included. You are guaranteed to be satisfied!"
"Okay, give me 15 boxes! How much is it?"
"Are you sure you want 15 boxes?" The boss looked very surprised, and even the girl next to him looked at me in surprise.
"What's the matter? Is it expensive? It doesn't matter, I can afford it!"
"That's not the problem, it's...!" The boss took out a box that was almost as big as a microwave oven. The pink box had beautiful glitter patterns and decorations on the outside, and a big butterfly on the top. It looks very beautiful, but its size is really scary. "This thing occupies 30 storage spaces and requires 15 boxes. Is there no problem with the amount that the guest can carry?"
I really didn't expect this thing to be so big! What is the concept of 30 grids? Not counting the space wrist wheel, my current carrying capacity is only 150 boxes, and 5 boxes can fill up my inventory. It’s still a big thing!
"It doesn't matter, you can take it! I can fit it in!" I put 15 huge gift boxes into the bracelet under the surprised eyes of the people around me. This kind of large gift box actually costs 100 crystal coins each. The price is a bit ridiculous. , Fortunately, I am not very poor now.
After paying the bill, I was about to leave when several girls rushed over. "Handsome guy, be my boyfriend!"
I quickly dodged and ran outside the store, but the girls rushed out again. "Stop it! I'm buying something for my boss!"
The girls immediately stopped suddenly and looked aloof: "It turns out he is a follower. Take us to see your boss!"
"My boss is next to the teleportation station. I have something to do. You can go there by yourselves!" It just so happens that the Son of the Night is bored waiting for others, so help him find some fun!
Several girls ran away as soon as they heard about it. In order to chase the handsome guy and the rich man, what does the image of a lady mean?
After getting rid of the entanglement of several mm, I turned around and ran to the job transfer office. The huge office hall is still as sparsely populated as before. Most of the players who have level 1 first-level professions and level 0 second-level professions have completed their job transfers, and there are not many players who have not transferred to level 400 third-level professions (the protagonist is hidden) Careers do not develop according to the process of one to two changes). As for the 600 level 4th career, no one has reached that level yet, so it is normal for the career change agency to be relatively idle.
After a casual glance, I saw the elf NPC who helped me change my job. "Miss!" I knocked on the counter to wake up the elf who was already asleep on the table.
"Huh?" She suddenly sat up straight. "Hello, what procedures do I need to go through?"
"Hahahaha!" The female elf looked so funny. She had a large red mark on her face because she had been lying down for a long time. Seeing that I kept smiling, she quickly took out a mirror and looked at herself. After seeing her own appearance, she quickly turned around and rubbed the red mark desperately to make it disappear as soon as possible. "Stop 'rubbing', I saw it all!"
The elf girl turned around in embarrassment, but her hand still covered it intentionally or unintentionally. "May I ask what job transfer you want to make?"
"Don't you remember me?" I pointed at my face.
After hearing what I said, she quickly looked up at me. "Who are you……?"
"Why do you remember that you don't remember it after only a few months? I am the one with the bonus account and several professions!"
"Zi Ri! I remembered! Why are you back? You look like you are not at a low level! You are not going to change to a 600-level 4th career, are you?"
"I just thought, it's a pity that the level is not enough!"
"and you……?"
I took out the big gift box and handed it to her. "I brought this to you specially. I promised to buy you cosmetics, but I didn't know what you like, so I bought a big gift box with everything. Give it to you!"
"Really!" Miss Elf's expression was obviously overly excited, and the ladies at the service counters nearby all rushed over and started chattering.
"Xiaoqing, you are so lucky!"
"Wow! This is a limited edition gift box from the grocery store! It's so expensive!"
"Sister Xiaoqing, is this your old client? Teach us how to build a good relationship with our clients!"
"Go, go! Don't make trouble!" Xiaoqing pushed all the girls around her aside and then turned to me and said, "I'm sorry, it's too quiet here, so they get easily excited when they see people."
"It's okay!" To be honest, I was really scared, but I was embarrassed to say it.
"How can I thank you for giving me such an expensive thing! You don't need any job change now, so I can't help you! If only you had a city, I would repay you by working for you!"
"Can your NPC change jobs?" I accidentally fulfilled a promise and actually made me discover a big secret.
She waved me into the counter. I looked at the entrance over there, and didn't bother to go around in such a big circle, so I jumped directly inside. A stool was pulled up from the side and placed next to her. "Say it quickly! Don't offend me!"
She was about to say that a player came in from outside. "Miss, I've reached level 400 and switched to the auxiliary profession for the third time."
"Oh!" Xiaoqing immediately started to help him with the job transfer procedures. The player saw the confusion on my face behind the counter and must have been wondering why NPCs now have two-person offices!
Xiao Qing, the player who sent me away, immediately turned to me and whispered: "Actually, this secret is not allowed to be told, but I will only tell you one person, you can't tell others!"
"of course!"
"Actually, players don't need to buy newly generated NPCs when building a city. Each player can go to the system city to directly specify the NPCs he needs for purchase. NPCs who have served in the city have relatively high intelligence levels, for example, like me In this way, don’t you see that I am much smarter than when you first saw me?”
"Well! It is indeed becoming more and more humane!"
"If you build a city, you can specifically designate various NPCs to serve in your city. This way, instead of buying a newly generated PC blacksmith from the system, you can build any equipment below artifacts, but the newly purchased blacksmith can only make elite equipment. Not bad! There are also auxiliary profession transfer NPCs like me. I can give players some special auxiliary professions. If you want newly generated NPCs, they can only transfer to the most common auxiliary professions specified by the system. Job!"
"Do you still have special auxiliary occupations? Give me a few!"
"I want to too! But you have finished your job transfer, but you can build a city and buy me there. According to the regulations, each NPC can decide whether to give the city owner the same gift. I will give you an auxiliary when the time comes. Career." At this point, Xiaoqing suddenly leaned towards the counter behind him. "Too bad you don't have a city!"
I laughed as soon as I heard it. "Actually, I am planning to build my own city. I think it will be successful soon. Just wait and work for me!"
"Really? That's great!" Xiaoqing jumped up. "Can you bring all my sisters here? They have been here for a long time and are all high-level NPCs. Can you bring them with you?"
"No problem!" I suddenly remembered whether Clark was also an NPC in the city. I went back and asked, maybe I could get him too. NPCs who can repair artifacts are not found everywhere! But if we bring in those undead creatures or undead things, I wonder if they will conflict with living races like elves! Forget it, if it doesn't work, just separate them. Anyway, there is plenty of space in Essinger. I will build a separation wall to separate the NPCs of the two forces so that they can't meet each other! "Do you know many NPCs?"
"I know almost everyone from the light forces! We have mission exchange meetings every week, and all NPCs from the light forces will meet."
"Do you know those NPCs with special skills?"
"Speciality?"
"They are elite NPCs who are unique and have special abilities!"
"I know. For example, like Botelier in Hope City, that old man is a senior stonemason. In addition to gems, he can carve any hard stone into what you want."
"Okay, don't tell me now. I won't remember it if you tell me. Write a list for me and include the most powerful talents from all walks of life. I will need these people when I build the city. I will come to you when the time comes."
"You want to leave?"
"Yes, I have other things."
Xiao Qing said sheepishly: "Since you still have something to do, I won't keep you here, but you must not forget me! When the city is built, he will come back to pick us up!"
"Don't worry! I always mean what I say. You go ahead and get busy, I'm leaving." I jumped out from the counter and ran out of the hall. It seems that I have to do more good deeds in the future. If I had not come to fulfill this agreement, I would not know such a big secret. It seems that anything that happens with NPCs in this game can be regarded as a task, and everything about every NPC A sentence may turn into a direct task prompt at any time.
"Zi Ri! Help! I'm in the Temple of the Earth Mother in Fire Forest City. Help me!" A distress signal suddenly sounded in my guild channel. Because the guild channel does not show who said what, so I only know that it is someone from the guild, but I don’t know who it is specifically! I suddenly remembered a possible child of the night. This guy looks like he's seeing a ghost when he sees women. I've found so many little girls for him, and he's very likely to be chased.
I ran over without waiting and used the teleportation ring directly to reach the teleportation array in Fire Forest City. As soon as I came out, I saw a lot of players running in one direction, and I ran after them. Patting a guy running alongside me. "Hey! Brother! What are you running for?"
"I heard that someone discovered that the boss couldn't be killed. I rushed over to see if I could help!" I knew what he meant was that he discovered the boss and went to see if I could get some benefits. But when did the Son of the Night become an OSS?
I patted the person on the other side again. "Brother, may I ask why you are running over there?"
"I heard someone over there was distributing equipment!" That's two hundred and five here (we here say two hundred and five when people's brains are abnormal)!
I ran a little further and asked a few more people, but they all told me that they didn't bring the same thing! But most of them came to watch the fun. What on earth is this child of the night doing? It actually caused such a sensation!
Before I reached my destination, I couldn't run anymore. There were too many people. The road is completely blocked.
