Chapter 132 The Journey of Exploration
Chapter 132 Exploration Journey
"For a long time, Mr. Moshui has provided a large number of auction items to the "Tianxia Auction House" of "Pangucheng", which has contributed great strength to the development of the entire "Pangucheng" economy; and just four days ago, Mr. Moshui has made great efforts to protect the first gang in the game, "Iron Blood Sect". To this end, the game company will give the "Special Contribution Award". In addition to the medal, Mr. Moshui will receive a monetary reward of 800,000 gold coins."
Haha, I went on stage to receive the award again. However, this time, our vice president Chen Tianhua did not appear, but was awarded directly by a beautiful woman who was not inferior to Chen Feixia. The nameplate on her body indicated that she was the director of the Public Relations Department of the "Tianxia Game Company". However, after wearing the medal for me, this minister named "Liang Tianjiao" enthusiastically gave me a kiss, which made me feel the softness of the other person's lips, and I also felt the greatness on the other person's chest. This scene made the atmosphere on the field extremely hot; while my face was flushed, and I almost threw away the 800,000 gold coin ticket in my hand.
I returned to my seat in a little embarrassed manner and felt the ambiguous smiles of the players around me. I really don’t know what to say. Looking at Liu Jia’s strange expression, I immediately explained: “It’s not my business, I’m not voluntarily!” Of course, it’s not voluntarily. I am the victim.
"Hehe, of course I know. But--" Liu Jia took out a small and exquisite mirror from the "Qiankun Ring". This was also one of the gadgets I bought before and handed them to me: "Look at the face, hehe, it's so 'beautiful'!"
I was shocked when I heard this, and immediately thought of a possibility. I took the mirror and looked at it. Sure enough, my not handsome face had a visible red lips. No wonder, the extremely strange expression on the faces of the players around me just now, probably they were trying their best to withstand their smiles. I quickly wiped it with my hands, but it didn't work.
"I'll do it." Liu Jia took the mirror in my hand, held a white and flawless handkerchief in his right hand, and carefully wiped it on my face, saying, "The lipstick in the game can only be wiped off with this 'flawless' scarf. Hehe, if it weren't for me, you would have to hold this bright red lips for several days! Why do you say thank you?"
I laughed and said, "I'll give you my whole body!"
"Tsk! Who would like to be like you?" Liu Jia rolled her eyes and said, "But now you are very good at saying sweet words! Honestly, are there other women in the dark?"
Although Liu Jia's words were obviously joking, I still had a big shock in my heart and immediately said with a smile: "How could it be? You know my life. Apart from games, there are not many opportunities to make friends. How could there be other women?"
"Hmph, that is to say, as long as you are given a chance, it is possible?" Liu Jia said angrily, and at the same time, a sad expression appeared in her eyes, which made me understand the essence of the saying that women are born to act, and also know that women sometimes feel unreasonable and have no way to explain.
But fortunately, under my "silent" expression, Liu Jia burst out laughing and said, "I'm going to miss you! I'll forgive you this time! I'll be in the stands--" It seems that I've really done something wrong, although an accident did actually happen.
I followed Liu Jia's finger to the stage. Now the person who came to the stage to receive the award was a man in a samurai costume. Listening to the information Liu Jia said that the "returning sword" heard, I knew that this samurai called "returning sword" created a scimitar that looked very similar to "boomerang". In combination with the strange internal force he learned, he could achieve the effect of "boomerang". That is to say, after throwing the scimitar with special techniques, the scimitar will still return to his own hands. Therefore, he won the "special skills award", which of course there is a bonus of 80,000 gold coins.
Next is another award - "Outstanding Chef". Master Lin showed his outstanding cooking skills in the "Lin Family Restaurant" in "Pangu City". Although he is still a certain distance from "Old Chef", he won the championship in the players' selection and also received a reward of 80,000 gold coins, which made the old man laugh. And I also received another title of "Outstanding Physician" and the same 80,000 gold coins in the following selection.
After all 108 awards were distributed, there were various performances, many of which were directed and acted by players. Of course, various special programs prepared by "Tianxia Game Company" were also indispensable. Anyway, the final result was that everyone shouted that the tickets in their hands were worth the money.
According to post-event statistics, the game company released a total of 68.66 million gold coins at the entire New Year celebration, plus other expenses, nearly 100 million gold coins. However, judging from the ticket revenue and the nearly 400 million gold coins of personal viewer revenue, the game company still made a lot of money, and at the same time gave many players a generous reputation, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After the New Year celebration, I hid in "Dragon Tiger Xuan" for several days. One reason is that my reputation is too strong now, which makes me dare not go out easily; the other reason is that I am very busy. Whether it is the refining of "Xiao Huan Dan", or the production of "Fire Dragon Arrow" and "Frost Arrow", it takes time.
"Little Refuge" is not so easy to refine. If I succeeded three or four times in ten times, I would have laughed. In three days, I only refined two, which was unimaginable in the past. But I knew that even so, the benefits brought by "Little Refuge" would still be very considerable. Although the current elixir market has caused prices to fall again and again due to the emergence of various elixirs, even my super "Dragon and Tiger Pill" can only sell about 100,000 gold coins now, which is a huge difference from the previous hundreds of thousands of dollars. At the same time, it also makes me know that the elixir should be sold as soon as possible.
Yesterday, Zhang San came to my "Longhuxuan" and took away a "Little Refuge Dan". Long before, he had done sufficient publicity work, which made countless players who had expectations for "Little Refuge Dan" gather in the current "Pangu City". This situation made Zhang San so excited that he had to laugh every day.
After sending Zhang San away, I worked hard to study the "Fire Dragon Arrow" and "Frost Arrow". Among the various "soul beads" I received, the fire-type "soul beads" and the water-type "soul beads" account for a large part. The former is a very good material for making "Fire Dragon Arrow", but the latter is much less powerful, but it is an excellent material for setting up formations, especially the "** array" and the "Nine-turn Yin and Yang array".
So now I take "Soul Dragon Arrow" as my main research direction. Although my blacksmith skill "transformation" has reached the master level, and I also watched him when making "Soul Arrow", I have no experience in making "Soul Arrow". Because it is not easy to set up a formation while inlaying "soul beads" on the tiny arrow shaft, I encountered a lot of trouble when making the first "Soul Arrow". It was not until the fourth day that I successfully made a "Soul Arrow". Although it was rough in appearance, the formation was not so perfect.
Since the beginning is coming, the next one is much simpler. As time goes by, my skills in making "Fire Dragon Arrows" have become more and more proficient and more sophisticated. In just three days, I have changed from making more than fifty "Fire Dragon Arrows" every day to making nearly two hundred every day now. This is because my "fire mana" cannot meet the continuous consumption.
When I was making great achievements, Zhang San also sent him good news. The few "Soul Dragon Arrows" that were originally placed there were very popular at auction. Although the transaction price was a distance from my expectations, the transaction price of each of the yellow-level "Soul Dragon Arrows" and the average transaction price of each of the Xuan-level "Soul Dragon Arrows" was still very satisfied. After all, the current acquisition price of the "Soul Beads" has been greatly reduced, and in terms of cost, it only occupies a very small part, and it is almost a no-price transaction.
The auction of "Xiao Huan Dan" is extremely popular. Because when selecting "Outstanding Physician", the system listed the elixir with super attributes of "Xiao Huan Dan", which also made everyone know that "Xiao Huan Dan" is my work. Therefore, after Zhang San's promotion, players who were not very interested in elixirs also came to join in the fun. The entire auction house was even more popular than when I auctioned the entire set of equipment last time.
In the end, "Little Huan Dan" was taken away by a gang leader in "Qinglong City" for 5.6 million gold coins, which also made the record of the highest price of elixir auctions in the game. It is said that when the gang leader was competing for territory with another gang, he took "Little Huan Dan" under serious injury. He finally couldn't survive and successfully killed the other leader, creating a new situation in "Qinglong City".
After I made five thousand yellow-level "Fire Dragon Arrows", it was January 21, 2016, and the New Year's festive atmosphere gradually disappeared, but various entertainment facilities did not disappear, and became a beautiful scenery in the city. Now some players who are not interested in fighting monsters or some elderly people who are originally enjoying life in the game have become regular visitors to these entertainment facilities. No need to pay any money, so, the places where entertainment facilities are located are lively all day, just like a festival.
This situation was later widely reported by the media, saying that "Tianxia Game Company" created a free entertainment venue in the game, reducing the already crowded urban environment. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is the game company's own hype behavior, but in fact, this is the case. Therefore, "Xiong Tianxia" once again attracted a large number of players to enter the game, but this time it was mostly the elderly. Moreover, "Tianxia Game Company" also cooperated with governments of various countries to provide free game helmets for those orphans and disabled people living in welfare homes or nursing homes; not only that, "Tianxia Game Company" also exempted these special game helmets from the game costs of ten years.
It is said that the cost of providing game helmets alone has reached hundreds of billions of yuan. This major measure has made the "Tianxia Game Company" taller in the hearts of governments and people of various countries, and has labeled itself as "benevolent and generous" and declared it far and wide around the world, because even in remote places, there are such players.
Of course, these have nothing to do with me. Now I am enjoying the joy of the popular sales of "Fire Dragon Arrow". As soon as I appeared in "Dragon Arrow" with 5,000 gold coins, I immediately attracted countless archers and hunters. Nearly 500 were sold in just one day, making Xiaolong busy at the front desk, I was laughing in my heart. That was nearly 2.5 million gold coins! I had to laugh if I thought about it.
As long as there are no arrows of the same variety on the market, my "Star Dragon Arrow" can occupy the dominant position in the arrow market for a long time, and how much profit can the market for nearly 20 million archers and hunters in the game bring me?
Thinking about it now, it feels a bit unreal. In the past, even if you played well, you would earn game coins by constantly fighting monsters, or constantly producing equipment and drugs, and then exchange them for real currency through the online black market in the game world, but there are often huge differences in price. Even if you have good equipment, you will have to earn a large commission from others. It is precisely for this reason that although I always occupy a leading position in the game, it is already very satisfying to earn RMB 250,000 every year.
In addition, when I bought a house and a car, I spent money like flowing water. Therefore, my deposits were always around one million, and I never reached two million. But now, in less than a year, I have already had nearly ten million in my World Bank account (most importantly, it was too much to buy the "soul bead" some time ago), and the assets in the game were almost 20 million yuan, which is a world of difference compared to the previous game life.
Now I have money, and I have eight percent of the benefits of the "Iron Blood Sect". Even if I sleep all day long, it is enough for me to be extravagant. So now most of my interest has shifted to the exploration of the game, just like now, I am heading to a mountain in the west of the "Tianshan Mountains", because according to the information in "Shan Hai Jing", this mountain has a strange herb - Wuchen Grass.
Although this "dustless grass" does not increase attribute value or increase life characteristics like other medicinal materials, it will produce a kind of juice after refining. As long as this juice is applied to the body, it will have the effect of a "chameleon" and escape the monster's sight and smell. It can be said that it is a good thing that is completely prepared for those assassins.
Of course, it is also important for other players. Think about it, when you ambush in a place and the monster is leisurely walking by in front of your eyes, and you suddenly burst out at the next moment, hitting the vital part of the monster with a sword, seriously injuring or killing the monster directly, how refreshing it is? Therefore, the market potential of this juice is absolutely unlimited.
However, the "Shan Hai Jing" also mentioned that this kind of juice has no effect on monsters of the level of spirit beasts or above, and not all monsters can work. Therefore, if you want to play its greatest value, you must launch it into the market as soon as possible.
Without Xiaobai and lack of white tiger transportation, I could only drive a strong elk to the "Tianshan Mountains". After several hours of running, I finally arrived at the peak mentioned in "Shan Hai Jing".
This mountain is about a thousand meters high, with lush trees, flowers and plants everywhere, and there is no normal road at all. Moreover, as the mountains move upwards, the trees become denser. In this case, I had to tie the elk to a big tree halfway up the mountain to prevent it from getting out. According to the records of "Shan Hai Jing", the most common thing about this mountain is herbs and there are no powerful monsters, so I feel very at ease about the safety of elks.
As I went up, I found many low-quality herbs and a few medium-quality herbs, but there were no high-quality herbs at all, which disappointed me a lot. The wrongful night that I originally wanted to collect medicinal materials was gone. As a last resort, I accelerated my pace and ran towards the top of the mountain. Of course, all the branches blocking me were cleared by the "Nine Nethers" in my hand during the run. It can be said that I had opened a passage.
Finally, I arrived at the top of the mountain. What appeared in front of me was a vast circular platform with a diameter of about 300 meters. The circular platform was surrounded by various tall trees, with heights of about 20 meters. Except for one of the poplars, the others were varieties that I didn't know. Following these tall trees inward, there were some trees with a height of about ten meters, and most of the species of these trees were also unknown; and then inward, there were some low shrubs and various flowers and plants.
At the center of the round platform, the inconspicuous plant growing next to the small pool, which looked like weeds, was my purpose this time. I carefully observed the surrounding environment and found no attention-catching monsters. There was only a monster like a trekkra bear sleeping on those trees about ten meters.
I checked the information of these monsters and found that these fat little things are actually high-level monsters with a level of about seventy. They are not very aggressive, but they can make a "sound" similar to bat ultrasound, which can stimulate human ears to temporarily deaf.
I said in my heart, "Good" it's really "monsters should not behave like appearances." Players who have lost their hearing will be very passive when fighting, so it's better not to mess with them.
I quietly passed through the tall woods and soon arrived next to the pool. I stopped and observed carefully around me with a little excitement in my patience. Logically speaking, top-quality herbs like "Cold-Wu Chen Grass" should be protected by some monsters, just like the "Red Refining King Snake" who used to protect "Snow Lotus" and the "Ice and Fire Two-Headed Wolf" who protected "Ice and Fire".
But now when I approached these "Cold-Wu Cao" and still nothing happened, it surprised me. Looking at the pool surrounded by "Cold-Wu Cao", I thought to myself that if there were really monsters, I would definitely hide here. I thought to myself that when I was happily collecting "Cold-Wu Cao", a high-level monster suddenly popped out of the pool next to me, then it was not extremely dangerous. At the same time, I secretly complained that the author of "Chen Hai Jing" had already written the message of "Chen Wu Cao" but did not write down its guardian beast.
After making up my mind, I took a few steps back and set up a "** array" with a radius of about five meters five meters away from the pool. In this way, even if there are monsters hiding in the pool, I can quickly hide in the "** array" and then kill it with the effect of the formation. Of course, I have never put down the "Jiuyou" in my hand.
But when I collected a "Cold-free grass", a feeling of vomiting filled my head. I was shocked. Could it be that I was poisoned? According to the poisoning situation in front of me, it was very similar.
But it doesn't make sense. Because after my "non-invasion of all poisons" was upgraded to the intermediate level, even the high-level poison was only equivalent to the primary poison, and it was not so strong at all. And after looking at my attributes, there was no information about poisoning at all.
At this moment, I found a stream of bubbles in the pool, from a few at the beginning to an increasingly urgent one later, as if it was boiling. I quickly stuffed the "Cold-free Grass" in my hand into the "Canton Ring", and at the same time I entered the "** array" to wait for the monster to appear.
The water bubbles in the pool suddenly disappeared after a burst of boiling, but the next moment, countless water droplets and water arrows sprayed around, and several accurately shot towards me in the "** array", but they were all blocked by me with the "Jiuyou" in my hand. When the water droplets and water arrows all disappeared, a monster with the image of a crocodile appeared in front of me.
"Demon Crocodile", a water-based monster, and other unknowns. This is the information obtained by "reconnaissance".
I was slightly shocked and thought of the "Red Refining King Snake" in the "Monster Attack Village". As a water-based monster, the "** array" may also be invalid for this guy. Before this idea was completed, the attack of the "Demon Crocodile" came.
The water in the pool flew up with a harsh scream from the "Demon Crocodile", and after a twist, a thick python formed. This vivid python hovered over the head of the "Demon Crocodile", and rushed towards me. The speed was so fast that it was shocking.
Of course, I would not be shot so easily and run quickly. While running, I replaced the "Jiuyou" in my hand with the "Sun Shooting Bow" and the mysterious-level "Fire Dragon Arrow", quickly pulled the bow, and a "Fire Dragon Arrow" containing powerful fire energy quickly shot towards the python.
The collision of pure water energy and fire energy is the result of the mutual annihilation of the two. It’s fine for the “Demon Crocodile” python, mine is the “Fire Dragon Arrow”, which is a good thing of 30,000 gold coins. It’s gone, and I still feel very distressed.
So under my anger, countless arrows flew towards the "Demon Crocodile", but unexpectedly, most of the arrows were blocked by the "Demon Crocodile" with the "Water Shield" in the water-based spell; even the remaining "alloy arrows" that successfully shot the "Demon Crocodile" could not be shot into the body of the "Demon Crocodile". What's even more exaggerated is that the wrinkled skin of the "Demon Crocodile" actually made a sound when the "Alloy Arrow" hit. Could it be that the skin of the "Demon Crocodile" is metal?
Seeing that the "alloy arrow" could not cause damage to the "Demon Crocodile", I used the "Fire Dragon Arrow" again, which was also mysterious, but was shot with the "guiding arrow" technique. The "Fire Dragon Arrow" drew an arc in the air and smoothly bypassed the "water shield" of the "Demon Crocodile". The clumsy movements of the "Demon Crocodile" could not escape the range covered by the arrow. As a result, the "Fire Dragon Arrow" accurately hit the "Demon Crocodile's head close to its right eye.
The strong fire energy burst out with the help of the pioneer of internal force, the pioneer. Even if I was nearly twenty meters away, I could feel the power of the explosion and the scorching aura. Seeing the "Demon Crocodile" wrapped in flames, I thought to myself, this time, it is time to peel off if I am not seriously injured.
Chapter completed!
