Chapter 34 The New Magic Musician

After being pulled into the teleportation array by Bingbing, he was teleported out almost immediately, but the target location was not in any city.

"What the hell is this place?" I looked around. This is a forest. Judging from the plant characteristics, it should be in Europe. Behind us is a cliff, not too high, but the flashing red substance on it immediately attracted my attention. "Wow, Ruby."

"Oh... Brother Ziri, don't be so greedy for money! I didn't drag you to mine."

"What's the point of mining? Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, I'll dig these things down first and then we go." As I said this, I started knocking on the mountain earthquake gems. "Damn, it's pretty strong."

"Oh, stop making trouble. I'm calling you to help!" Bingbing was so anxious that she almost cried.

I found that Bingbing seemed to be telling the truth and was no longer joking with her. "what happened?"

"There's no time to explain. Let's run quickly, otherwise it'll be too late." Bingbing said anxiously.

I summoned the flying bird, picked up the ice and jumped on it, standing on the bird's back like a skateboard. "Show me the way."

"If you can't fly, why don't you change your horse?" Bingbing said.

"That's it!" I quickly jumped down and put on Yeying to collect the flying birds. "Say it."

"Over there." Bingbing pointed forward. Yeying lowered his head and rushed out without me having to say anything.

The trees in this forest are not very dense, but there are a lot of vines, making it more difficult to walk than an ordinary forest. Thanks to Ye Ying being a nightmare, he followed Ben without touching the ground and passed directly through the trees. Under Bingbing's instructions, we quickly rushed through a large forest land, and then a lake appeared in front of us, with a small island with lush vegetation in the middle of the lake. Bingbing suddenly shouted: "It's on that island."

I vaguely seemed to hear some music, but I didn't hear any sounds of fighting. Bingbing said let me save her life. How can you hear music?

"It's on the island, Brother Ziri, hurry up! Bingling will be unable to withstand it any longer."

"Bing Ling is on the island?" I said, why is there music! There are only two people in our bank who can play musical instruments, one is Bingbing and the other is Bingling. There will definitely be music when Bingling is there. How can the Magic Music Master attack without using music? "Sit tight." I pulled the reins, and Ye Ying jumped onto the lake and rushed over directly on the blue waves.

As soon as I ran to the first office, I suddenly found a track not far from us. He pinched Ye Ying's stomach fiercely. Ye Ying understood and jumped up suddenly. The water surface suddenly rose with a bang, and a huge mouth stretched out from the water and suddenly closed at the position where we just took off. If we had not jumped up, we would have been swallowed.

I didn't have time to worry about what this guy was, so I just let Ye Ying run over a few meters above the water. Even if there was another monster, I wouldn't have time to get out of the way if he jumped to such a high place. Quickly running to the island, leaping over the dense forest outside, we landed directly on the inner forest glade.

"Stop." I yelled regardless.

The sound of music in the woodland disappeared instantly. My sudden appearance stunned everyone. I put Bingbing down from Yeying's back, and Bingbing quickly ran to Bingling who was standing behind us. At this time, Bing Ling's body was already covered with wounds, and her harp actually had several broken strings. Being able to make Bing Ling like this shows that the opponent is very strong. Unlike the auxiliary Bingbing, Bingling's offensive magic sound is very powerful. It's not just ordinary people who can hurt her.

However, to my surprise, there were only two people standing opposite us. These are two beautiful women, or girls. Because they looked like they were only about sixteen years old. The girl on the left is a standard European beauty, with blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a round face that looks like a doll. The girl next to me looks a little older, about seventeen or eighteen years old. This girl has obvious Latin ancestry, her eyebrows are very prominent, and the lines on her face are also very obvious. She is the kind of woman who has a lot of flavor.

The Latin beauty wears hot red short armor. The costume looks like an archer, but the thing in her hand is not a bow and arrow. It was a pair of weapons that looked very much like bows. They are very similar to my half-moon, both are crescent-shaped, but the half-moon looks thicker and has a larger curvature, while this pair of weapons is relatively thin and has a small curvature, like a flat long bow with sharp edges on all sides. The middle part of the weapon is the grip. It is covered with a layer of golden velvet to prevent slipping. There are many holes in the inner ring of the Crescent Moon weapon. About ten centimeters apart. Each hole is only a few millimeters in diameter, and each is threaded with a gold ring. There is a small golden ball hanging on the other side of the ring. These balls are only the size of table tennis balls. The balls are made of some golden lines and look like sepak takraw balls. You can also see red things rolling looming inside the balls, but the red The 'color' object is sealed inside the sphere and cannot fall out.

A voice suddenly appeared in my head. "Be careful, kid. The thing that girl has is called a sound blade. It's very powerful."

"Bannong Jialan, do you know this thing?" I asked Banong Jialan in my heart.

"I was injured by this thing back then. It's really a powerful thing. And the attack method is very weird and not easy to deal with. I suggest you keep a distance and don't use melee methods, otherwise you will die ugly."

"Thank you." A long life is good. With a dragon who is knowledgeable and a dragon who is not quick at all, I will rarely be assassinated by someone else's special weapon.

The little blond girl next to the Latin beauty is wearing a princess dress and looks really cute. But her equipment is a bit scary. Apart from a bunch of jewelry, she only had a belt, armbands, and anklets. Anyway, she didn't have a large area of ​​armor, and the princess dress didn't seem to have any defensive capabilities. What I mean by scary is what was standing next to her. To be honest, I don't know what this is, but it looks like it's her equipment. This thing is like a rockery and is quite large. Its main body is made of red crystal, and the connections are all gold-colored metal brackets. There are also decorative and fixing metal bars in some places, which are also gold-colored. of. The overall look is quite gorgeous, and I intuitively concluded that this was probably some kind of musical instrument. The main part of it is basically a tube composed of red crystals, large and small. The largest can be more than five meters tall. As thick as an adult's thigh. The smallest one is only as long as a pen and about as thin as a toothpick. These tubes are densely packed together with golden metal, forming a fan shape like a peacock spreading its tail. However, these tubes are surrounded by something similar to a console. The little princess was sitting on the stage. That's why I thought it was a musical instrument, and probably an organ.

"Oh, help?" The Latin beauty laughed, but I felt that her smile seemed to be mocking.

"I didn't call for help." Bing Ling argued.

Bingbing immediately said: "It's what I called you. If you two fight one, it doesn't matter if you win."

The little princess said in a very sweet voice: "If you want us to join, you must have strength that we recognize. I only compete with you for the sake of everyone being magic sound masters. If you want to use strength, then We have to withdraw our kindness."

After listening to these few words, I already roughly understand what the situation is now. I had heard before that Bingbing and Bingling came out to find someone to form a band. These two people were probably the band members Bingbing found, and they were only willing to join a strong team, so they were testing the strength of Bingbing and Bingling. It's just that I don't know why Bingbing brought me here. Does she want me to compete in musical instruments? I can listen to music, but not play music.

Bingbing said to the two beauties: "You can say that I am stronger than you. This is our president. Bingling and I will not participate in the war. You are two against one. Is it fair?"

The two beauties looked at each other. "The promise remains unchanged, two against one is not fair. You can find another helper." The Latin beauty said to me.

I laughed. "My lovely lady, I think you'd better add some restrictions. I'm an animal tamer, and a real fight won't be as simple as one-on-two, it could very well become two thousand-on-two. Do you think this counts?" Normally I would not remind them kindly, but now that I want to invite people to join the party, of course I have to behave in a gentlemanly manner and leave a good impression on them.

The two looked at each other again and exchanged ideas. Then the little princess said: "No need, we also have magic pets."

"You didn't listen to what I said. What I said was two thousand to two." I deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of two thousand.

"Where did you get so many magic pets?" The two of them finally understood what I meant.

"Not all of them are demon pets, but there are a lot of them. Your demon pets will definitely not be enough to see."

"That's it." The Latin beauty said: "You summon a magic pet, and then you and your own magic pet fight together, and the two of us don't summon the magic pet. If we win, we can consider joining. But first Say yes. We just agreed to consider it, not necessarily to join."

"No problem." I jumped down from Yeying and picked him up, then let Phantom temporarily leave his body and stand beside him. The two beauties didn't expect that I was still carrying a magic pet. They saw the phantom leave my body and immediately disappeared, and then they realized that it was a spiritual body. Except for the moment when the phantom is separated from me and my body, he is invisible and cannot be seen by ordinary people. But this can just improve my trustworthiness in their hearts. After all, they won’t know if I don’t break away from the phantom.

After separating the phantom, I summoned Emmenis, but I don't know how the two beauties fight. Unable to make targeted choices. Amynis, who can clone other people's abilities, became the most suitable choice, and she also has an ability that I plan to use. Maybe he will win easily.

"I'm ready."

"Then apply for the competition mode." The Latin beauty said: "Because you asked us to join this competition, so you pay the fees."

I nodded in agreement. The sparring mode is a standard way of fighting in the wild. It has the same effect as the urban arena. However, if a monster enters the combat area during the battle, the sparring mode will not protect the monster from attacking. Being killed by a monster will still count as a real death. No will be protected by the system. Only the damage between players who enter the competition mode will be recorded first, and then restored after one party fails, without causing the loss of equipment or equipment.

I paid the fee and applied to activate the sparring mode, and at the same time I saw the names of the two girls. The Latina beauty's name is Crystal Flame, and the little princess's name is actually Crystal Princess. It's so vivid!

After the sparring mode started, Crystal Flame immediately shouted: "Start." After saying that, he rushed over first, trying to take advantage of my unprepared opportunity to hit with one blow. Too bad I'm faster than her.

"Ah!" A bunch of disgusting flesh bugs suddenly appeared on the keys of the princess's organ, and a few crawled onto her clothes. This scream came from her. The princess was almost ejected from her seat as if she was electrocuted. She fell to the ground and was still desperately slapping the clothes on her body to get those things off.

Crystal Flame was disturbed by the princess's cry. Although he resisted and did not look back, his movements froze as if he had been tripped. In a fight with someone of my level, even if you attack with all your strength, you may not be able to gain an advantage, let alone a decision. By the time Crystal Flame reacted, three sharp blade claws were already pressing against her chin. The crystal flame stayed in place and did not dare to move. Because if the blade claw moves slightly, there will be three more holes in her neck.

I stepped back with a smile, and with a squeak the blade claws retracted and slid back into the sheath. Crystal Flame looked at me, then suddenly thought of something and quickly turned around and ran back to the princess. The princess was so frightened that her face changed. As soon as the crystal flame passed, she hugged the princess and cried loudly. It made me feel as if I had committed a heinous crime.

Scaring girls with hairy bugs is one of the great pleasures of naughty boys in middle school. It is actually effective to deal with older girls, but no one thought of it before. I believe that the princess is not weak in combat, but it is natural for girls to be afraid of bugs. There's nothing we can do about it. The undead in Essinger scared many girls at first, but they got used to it over time. However, girls who can adapt to bugs rarely appear. And it seems that they are not afraid of oversized bugs like tanks or micro bugs like mosquitoes. What girls are really afraid of are bugs that are bigger than flies and smaller than horses. I have seen some female players bravely fight against a few meters high prairie wolf spider, but were frightened by a palm-sized spider that jumped seven or eight meters away.

The princess was obviously very frightened. The illusion had long been lifted, but she was still crying, and it was getting louder and louder. I quickly ran over and apologized. "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Miss Crystal Princess to be so afraid of bugs."

Crystal Flame glared at me. "My sister has been afraid of bugs since she was a child. A spider can scare her so much that she can't sleep for several nights. What bug did you put just now to scare her?" Crystal Flame heard the scream just now, but didn't look back at that time. She ran back later. The illusion had dispelled by then, so she didn't see it.

Hearing her question, Emmenis immediately raised his hand and pinched a large meat insect with colorful teeth. "That's it."

"Ah...!" The princess cried even harder when she saw the insect. The sound was truly shocking.

"Don't be afraid, the bugs are gone."

I was very depressed beside me. I really didn’t expect this little girl to be so afraid of bugs. If I had known, I would rather have trouble than use bugs. This may not be easy. People who are particularly taboo about something will usually become extremely angry if someone imposes such a thing on them. There used to be a researcher at Longyuan Base who had claustrophobia. He would show extreme panic when he was in a small, confined environment. A colleague who had a good relationship with him once made a joke and locked him in the bathroom. After that person came out, he never said a word to the colleague again. This shows that these people with special taboos have such taboos about themselves. How nervous. I have just met these two beauties and if I offend them like this, it is probably hopeless to recruit them.

The crystal flame coaxed the princess for a long time before she stopped crying, but she was still twitching. Looks very sad. Girls are very compassionate. Even Bing Ling, who was in a very embarrassed state after being beaten just now, went over to comfort her. Crystal Flame handed the princess over to Bingbing and Bingling, then stood up and said to me: "Come with me."

"Huh? Oh!" I was still feeling guilty. Hearing her words, he immediately followed her.

We walked to the back of the woodland, turned around a big rock, and she suddenly turned around and punched me. Because of guilt, I kept my head down and staring at the ground all the way here, but when my fist got closer, my hand suddenly rose on its own, and I accurately caught the fist of the crystal flame. Of course her little fist was not as big as my hand, so I held it in my palm. I am not surprised by this reaction. Nuwa has already said that this is one of the auxiliary functions of the electronic brain. Because it is the control signal of the electronic brain to the body, it will be intercepted by the game helmet and take effect in the game.

While I wasn't surprised, Crystal Flame was. She wanted to punch me in revenge. I didn't expect that I could catch it. Seeing that she looked unhappy, I quickly let go. "Ah, I'm sorry! If you give me another punch, I promise you won't block it this time. It was a conditioned reflex just now, you can't blame me."

Crystal Flame couldn't help but burst into laughter. “Are all you Chinese so interesting?”

"Maybe it's just me!"

"Haha! I thought Chinese people were all weirdos who wore strange clothes and had long braids."

In fact, what Crystal Flame said is not surprising. Only China and a few Asian countries, led by Japan, implement comprehensive education in the world. Education in Europe and the United States only cultivates specialized talents, not polymaths. Therefore, the scientific theories of many European and American countries are not as good as China's, but they actually have more inventions than we do. After all, people's energy is limited, and they can only learn one thing. It is certainly easier to achieve success than those in our country who are knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. But on the other hand, except for those things in their own majors, Europeans and Americans have a relatively narrow range of knowledge. In recent years, when conducting questionnaire surveys in Europe, 40% of the citizens believed that China is a country about the same size as Germany. When others told them that China is almost as big as the whole of Europe, they expressed surprise. In fact, it is the Chinese who are really surprised. It is difficult for Chinese people who have received a comprehensive education to understand why Europeans think that China is only a little bit as big as Germany. Many people will also ask whether Europeans have never taken geography classes? The answer is that they have taken geography classes, but unless you study geography and geology, the geography courses you learn in Europe and the United States will only tell you that China is in Asia, and you don’t need to know anything else. Because this has nothing to do with your future work, it would be a waste to learn it. The European point of view is: If I am going to be a computer programmer, why do I have to know chemistry? Facts have also proved that, except for a few cutting-edge scientists who need to know some knowledge of related subjects, most people only need to master their own professional knowledge and a few basic knowledge such as basic mathematics to complete their work well.

"Miss Crystal Flame. I apologize again for my behavior just now. I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect Princess Crystal to be so afraid of bugs."

"Princess, she was bitten by the Black Widow when she was a child and almost died. Since then, she has developed a phobia of insects. In fact, not only these bugs, but even flies can scare her to tears."

"Black Widow? Isn't that something unique to the United States?"

Crystal Flame immediately asked in surprise: "Are you a biologist? You actually know this?"

faint! This is nothing in China. But in Europe and the United States, unless they have been bitten by this thing, most people have absolutely no idea what a black widow is. I was embarrassed and said: "I just heard about it accidentally. I am not a biologist." Although I have participated in biological experiments, if I think about it carefully, I look like a lab rat, but it seems that a lab rat cannot be considered a researcher. Bar? So I'm not really a biologist.

Crystal Flame recalled with some sadness: "Actually, the princess and I are both orphans. We grew up in an orphanage sponsored by a private foundation in the United States. The princess and I happened to live in the same dormitory."

The living conditions of Americans are good, and the orphanage dormitories are all double rooms. In our country, university dormitories still have six people per room! Of course, if you have the money to live in an apartment, that's another matter.

I nodded: "So you depend on each other, right?"

"Yes." Crystal Flame nodded, and then suddenly laughed. "But seeing you today, I know my hard days are over."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I know who you are." Crystal Flame smiled proudly. "Don't deny it, I can confirm your identity."

I'm not someone who can bluff just anyone. "What if you know that I am the president of Frost? There are many people who know."

"You know that's not the identity I'm talking about."

It seems she does know something. "Okay. Even if you know. So what? Are you still going to threaten me with this? It's not like I can't see anyone because of my identity."

"Of course I didn't mean that." She smiled and said, "I just hope you can help us."

"How do you want me to help you?"

"I want to be a star. I heard that it's very profitable in China. Both the princess and I can perform. We know many musical instruments, and it's not a problem to sing and dance. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. We have received professional dance and music training. There was just no money, so no one packaged us.”

"In China's art circle, it is true that you say it is easy to make money, but only if there are people who support it. As for your level, you have to see it before you can be sure. But..."

Crystal Flame noticed that I stopped, and immediately said anxiously and nervously: "I know your rules, I... I can..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Who do you think I am? I won't be polite to you in terms of benefits, but you don't have to sell yourself to me. I really want women to get something a hundred times better than you at any time. Since you know My identity means I should know this. But I have a better proposal and I wonder if you are willing to accept it."

"What proposal?"

"How about just performing in the game? Form a band and perform in the game. If you apply for a system-protected concert, the tickets may be cheaper, but there are many people in the game, so the actual income will not be less. And apply for a system-supported tour Something like that, maybe you can get unexpected results."

"Performing in the game?" Crystal Flame looked at me in surprise, and then started thinking again. "Are you sure it's possible?"

"It is definitely feasible. Why do you think Bingbing is looking for you? We have done a feasibility investigation before, and it is absolutely feasible. But there is still a problem that must be solved, and that is personnel. It is definitely not possible to rely on the four of you alone. We still need more magicians."

Crystal Flame reminded: "I am a magic dancer, and I am the advanced profession of magic sound master."

"That's better. We need to assemble the band members and a lead singer. Since the system has given the career development direction of the Magic Musician, it will definitely not give an incomplete band. You players should be able to make it together. A large-scale performance. Coupled with some trained MPCs, it will not be a problem to set up a performance troupe."
