Chapter 55: Leapfrogging Challenge

The sky was overcast, the mist hung over the field like a light veil, and a cloaked figure appeared at the camp gate.

At this time, it was more than seven o'clock in the morning, and there were many NPCs lining up in front of the camp gate.

The camp guards and civilians guarding the gate were already familiar with this figure that appeared at regular intervals, the camp guards raised their guns and saluted, the civilians bowed and stepped aside, and Ye Ningning entered the camp straight through the vacated road in the middle.

In the distance, outside the player's tent, which is separated by a fence, many players are talking about the situation, literally treating the situation as a kind of landscape:

"Look, that NPC called Crescent Walker ......"

"I heard it's a beautiful woman!"

Players are barely visible in the camp.

The shadow of the camp riot had not yet fully dissipated, and although the smell of blood had been washed away from the stone pavement, the refurbished tents that could be seen on the roadside from time to time reminded people of the memories that could not turn the page of the fire and the crying of the sky.

Ye Ningning walked into the aristocratic area.

After the day of the riots, she changed her tent.

One is that the original tent is known to be the main branch, and it is no longer safe, and the other is because the area where the tent is located is also the hardest hit area on the day of the riot, Nie Long and Cheng Feng's gang in order to enhance the confusion, on the eve of the riot, a large amount of fire oil was placed in Ye Ningning's tent, and the tent where Ye Ningning lived did not even leave a single ash after the riot, and the fire affected a large area of tents nearby.

After learning the inside story, Ye Ningning immediately moved.

She didn't want to test the bottom line of the civilians in the orderly and good camp and prove the culprit who caused their "house" to burn down. Civilians choose to mess with sticks or close the door and let the dogs go.

The new residence is located in the Eastern Noble District, close to the Magic Shop.

The land in the aristocratic area is expensive, and the rent is very expensive, the rent is four times that of the previous tent, that is, two gold coins a day, the key is that there is no way to rent it without identity at all.

The intermediary of the tent was an old mage, who learned that Ye Ningning was interested in renting a house in the aristocratic district, and introduced her to the residence of an old friend.

It is said that the old friend went on a long trip and entrusted him with the tent.

Ye Ningning was very skeptical about this.

Because this tent was located on the right side of the alchemist's original residence, which happened to be the neighbor - then. Here's the key. In a situation where the tent was unremarkable and the dangers of being neighbors to the master alchemists were well known, the rent of the tent was a quarter higher than the market price.

In the end, Ye Ningning knew that the old mage with the attribute of a profiteer was raising the price on the spot, so he also rented this tent. There was no bargaining.

The advantages of living in the aristocratic district and being next to the master alchemist are quite obvious. At least in the past two days, there has been no wind and grass near Ye Ningning's tent. There are very few people passing by, which shows that people have formed a habit of staying away from the surrounding area.

Well, the neighbor's tent is also new.

Ye Ningning slept for a while. When you wake up, you can copy the scroll as you are used to.

The scrolls she copied are usually placed in the dimensional space and sold the next day, but there was no accident in last night's copy, so the eight scrolls copied yesterday were not used, plus the scrolls sold before, Ye Ningning's "donation" to the Mage Guild has reached 3,000 gold coins.

Entering the magic shop, the old mage behind the counter didn't read the book as before, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Ningning.

"I knew you were coming, did you bring today's scroll?"

The old mage took the one-sided mirror and took the scroll from the invisible servant:

"Or is it a secondary fireball scroll? Don't you really think about Biggby's talisman palm? You must know that the private purchase price of this spell is much higher, how about I raise it by another 10 gold coins!"

Ye Ningning didn't speak, he was used to the old mage's repeated chatters every day.

As a part-time Venerable Master, it is their duty to persevere in opening up financial paths, Ye Ningning habitually pulled out a red cowhide wrapped "The Mystery of Chenisto Treasure" on the bookshelf, sat down, flipped to the position I saw yesterday, and the back of the counter was quiet.

Five minutes later, the old mage's voice came from behind the counter:

“…… Well, today it's still 690 gold coins, deducting 360 donations, looking for you 330 gold coins. ”

Put the money away, the old mage waited for a while, Ye Ningning took off the guild badge on his chest and handed it to the old mage, the old mage took the badge, held it in his hand, did not put it away, and asked Ye Ningning:

"Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it. Ye Ningning said.

Two days ago, when Ye Ningning's "donation" became a member of the second ring of the Mage Guild, the old mage sent an invitation to her, intending to recommend her to become a member of the preparatory inner ring, so that even if she has not yet become a 6-ring warlock, she can also enjoy the rights and resources of the third ring member, including the advanced professional information that Ye Ningning wants to see.

Ye Ningning refused.

There is a famous saying among NPC casters - there is no such thing as a caster who does not expect anything in return.

Accepting the old mage's advice will make her owe her a big favor, and it will also put a factional label on her.

The Mage Guild is full of mountains, complex factions, and constant open and secret battles, and while becoming a faction's optimistic backwards, it is likely to be on the attention list of rival factions, and even be marked for death, leading to inexplicable killings.

This is not an exaggeration.

As the game progresses, players and NPCs will have more and more intersections, and they will inevitably participate in the NPC world, and the changes in the NPC situation will also have a huge impact on the player pattern:

In the previous life, one-third of the noun changes on the combat power list were caused by the attack or sniping of NPC forces.

The most iconic time in the previous life was more than a year after the game progressed, when the first person to occupy the top of the combat power list for six months was assassinated in public by a hostile NPC organization, which caused a sensation in the public forum.

This is also the first time that players know that the change of power of NPCs can also pose a personal threat to themselves.

Ye Ningning was not afraid of assassination, and was even a little eager to stir up the muddy waters of the behemoth of the Mage Guild, but the more this was the case, the less she would easily make a choice.

The time she has been in contact with the old mage is too short, and this old fox has not even revealed the forces behind it, so of course she will not easily accept the olive branch of the other party.

What's more, relying on the support of the resources behind the other party is completely different from relying on strength to complete the challenge, and the weight and price code in the eyes of the other party are completely different.

"Well, young man, there's always no going back without wrestling. ”

The old mage sighed, his expression became solemn:

"Your professional level has not reached level 6, according to the regulations, if you want to become a member of the Three Rings in advance, you must prove that you have enough strength to match the members of the Three Rings and carry out the leapfrog challenge, Your Excellency Ye Ningning, are you willing to skip the level challenge?"

"Yes. ”

"So, please choose your way to challenge the level, is it a personal challenge or a mission challenge?" the old mage asked slowly.
