Chapter 169: A High-Level Mission That No One Cares About (2-in-1)
"I accompanied Senior Sister Aoba on a high-level mission, and the credits were four or six points. Li Bai explained, "After all, with our strength, those high-level tasks are actually not impossible to do. β
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "Yes, we can't receive high-level tasks, but we can cooperate with senior students." β
But then he frowned again: "It's just that this high-level task is still too many monks in the senior year, how can those students who have grabbed the task volunteer to cooperate with us freshmen?"
Li Bai smiled: "It's the same for us, but you can find your little sister Qiao." β
Zhou Yu's face fell: "It's too white, you are laughing." β
In this era, the status of the son-in-law is the lowest, so anything that goes with eating soft rice is very rejected.
Moreover, Zhou Yu had become his senior sister because Xiao Qiao entered school early, and he had secretly taken care of him many times in the past few days.
Li Bai only mentioned it casually, and he didn't plan to continue to tease Zhou Yu, and it can be seen from Zhou Yu's constraints in the past few days that he doesn't want to be taken care of by Xiao Qiao.
Otherwise, with Xiao Qiao's old qualifications of mixing under the grass for so many years, Zhou Yu would not have had to sweep the streets and gnaw on the nest every day before.
He changed his words and said, "How much do you know about this sword reincarnation?"
"I've heard a little, it's said to be just chicken ribs, Taibai, how could you choose this secret realm?" Zhou Yu pondered, he was not a student of Sword Peak, so naturally he would not pay too much attention to the sword reincarnation that was the least popular among the twelve secret realms.
"Sword reincarnation...... It may be a chicken rib for others, but there is no more suitable secret realm for me, and I have experienced ten reincarnations in it. Li Bai took a deep breath and said, "Ten whole lives." β
The wine is strong, under the moonlight, Li Bai's slightly misty eyes are full of vicissitudes under the stimulation of wine, although he is still very young, but it gives people a sense of exhaustion that has entered old age.
Zhou Yu was slightly stunned: "Ten ...... Life?"
Li Bai smiled: "It is estimated that it can be five hundred years in total, but fortunately, it is a dream in the end, which is different from reality...... It's just that after all, I'm still a little stunned, and I miss the characters in my dreams a little. β
"It's ridiculous, isn't it, it's all imaginary characters, but that kind of life ...... It's a lot of fun, too. β
For some reason, he remembered his first life, Li Huamei, who had been waiting for him for most of his life, and Mulan, Zhaojun, who later became his wife...... It was only very soon that he pressed it down.
After all, it's just a dream, and it's enough to forget about the miscellaneous experiences, and it's enough to leave only the foundation of the kendo obtained from the reincarnation of the tenth life.
Although Li Bai's tone was relaxed, Zhou Yu didn't feel any relief in his ears when he heard it, and even felt as heavy as a mountain.
Zhou Yu's voice was a little low: "I originally thought you were just working hard, but now it seems that the word hard work alone is far from enough...... You're desperate!"
The 10th reincarnation of 500 years - it sounds terrifying.
He asked, "Aren't you afraid of being completely lost?"
Li Bai shook his head: "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous...... I heard from the gatekeeper who guarded the secret realm that after the students entered the secret realm, although they experienced the same reincarnation of the tenth life, it added up to more than ten years at most. β
If it weren't for the fact that his soul was strong enough and he coexisted with the Qinglian boss, he would probably have a split personality again, and he would be a little afraid to think about it.
Zhou Yu said: "What if you knew the danger of this secret realm in advance?"
Li Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Got it...... I guess I won't give up. β
"Why are you so desperate?" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "I always feel as if you have something behind you chasing you, you are only thirty-three in your twenties, and you have such kendo attainments at this age, even if you look at the world, you are also first-class." β
Li Bai smiled: "I am from Broken Leaves, I once defended the Great Wall, where many of my comrades are still fighting, but I left the battlefield and came to Jixia ......"
"They're still fighting, they're hovering between life and death every day, and I'm still here to drink with you, which is a pretty good life...... So there are some dangers, and they are nothing. β
"I want to be able to end the war there with my sword one day and bring peace back to my hometown, and I hope that day will come sooner, so I hope that I can grow up faster. β
Zhou Yu nodded, and his expression revealed a hint of respect: "Taibai Gaoyi, if I complete my mission in the future, I will definitely go to the Great Wall with you to help you." β
Li Bai laughed: "Tease you, how can I be so great." β
He shook his head, and a cynical smile stretched out at the corner of his mouth: "Gong Jin, do you have any ideals? Strengthen your family, or assist Sun Wu to unify the land of the Three Kingdoms?"
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Taibai, what you said is indeed my former ideal, but now that I think about it, it is not my ideal, but my mission." β
Li Bai raised his head and could see the silhouette of Zhou Yu's side face in the shadows, and there was a bit of unwillingness in it, even if this was the fate he needed to bear as soon as he was born as a child of a family.
In fact, at this age, although Zhou Yu already has the temperament of the majestic and heroic Mei Zhoulang in the future, he is still a little immature between his eyebrows, less city government, and more sincere.
There are too many things that people in this era need to bear, and the family and country that ordinary young people in later generations cannot imagine are pressed on their young shoulders, just like his life as a dart master.
Although the grand burden of unifying the Three Kingdoms is far heavier than the burden of buying Zhou Fuji's gold hairpin for his wife and supporting his family, I don't know how many times heavier.
But in terms of their own abilities, there is not much difference.
"I'm looking forward to seeing you in your hands. Li Bai said with a smile. "It is also of great merit to end the war in the land of the Three Kingdoms and reunite it. β
Zhou Yu also smiled: "I am also looking forward to seeing the day when you stir up the world." β
The last glass of residual wine dries with this laughter.
"It's not enough fun. Zhou Yu sighed and drank the last drop of wine in the jug, "Although your wine is strong, the amount is still too small, is there anything else?"
"Yes, yes, but it's better than the Bullpen Mountain you drank. Li Bai took out the endless wine gourd, the longer the wine in this wine gourd was placed, the more fragrant it became, and he endured it for a long time before he took it out now.
As soon as he pulled out the cork, Zhou Yu's eyes widened.
"The aroma of the wine is clear, refreshing, you wine...... Could it be the legendary immortal drunk that has long been lost?"
Li Bai shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, bring your wine jug, I'll pour you some." β
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "The mouth of this wine jug is so thin, in case it ......"
Li Bai waved his hand and interrupted: "Hehe, don't worry, I have a number." β
Anyway, I won't let you use our wine gourd, it's for me and Mulan.
Zhou Yu stared at Li Bai's movements, as the golden wine poured out, the aroma became more and more intense, he twitched his nose, and suddenly let out a wail: "I just said don't pour, look at you, you actually spilled a drop, this ...... It's a terrible thing!"
Li Bai rolled his eyes: "Shut up, what are you not satisfied with, if you weren't worried today, you would have your share?"
"Hahaha, such a good wine, but Xuande and Kong Ming didn't have a chance to taste it...... Tsk tsk. Zhou Yu shook the wine jug and took a deep breath, feeling a little drunk just by smelling the aroma.
Not the drunken drunkenness, but a soothing and pleasant intoxication.
Li Bai: "Then don't drink it, I'll divide your share into two parts and send them over." β
Zhou Yu hurriedly turned off the wine jug: "Don't! The capacity of this small gourd wine is too small, if the four of them are separated, at most they can only taste it, and it is impossible to enjoy it." β
"But if you can't enjoy it, it will also be torture for the two of them, so it is better for the two of us to sacrifice a little and bear this torture for themβTaibai, our actions are the true meaning of the Buddha's cutting meat and feeding the eagle. β
Li Bai: "......"
Shameless!
The barrage also exploded.
[Zhuge Liang: I have never seen such a brazen person!]
[Liu Bei: MMP!]
[Anyway, Xiaobai, what does your wine taste like, is it a prop for honey, I see that your expression is too exaggerated. γ
[Sucking, it's just drooling.] γ
[Tang San: I'll pay 70,000 yuan, you immediately bring me a gourd to taste!]
......
The next day, on Donglai Peak, the students were standing in front of the huge task banner and discussing.
"Damn, 20,000 credits! What are you doing with such a high-reward task, hurry up and grab it!" exclaimed a student who squeezed in from behind and showed his face unkempt.
"Grab it! You don't even look at the mission description. A student gave him a blank look, and his tone suddenly became sincere and frightened, "Eh, it's Senior Brother Ram!"
The man with the compound surname Ram scratched his greasy hair, didn't care about the student's offense, and frowned, "You want to go to Fusang?"
The student nodded and said: "Yes, and Fusang's blood disaster is blazing, and Xu Fu, the king of the blood clan, is a long-famous demon giant, and he is familiar with the secret art of the blood clan, I am afraid that even the princes may not be able to suppress him, and he will not be able to come back nine times out of ten." β
"Oh, that's interesting. There was a glint of eagerness in the ram's eyes, but it was extinguished in an instant.
He said with a little regret: "It's a pity that it's been too long, if I go, I'm afraid I won't even be able to participate in this year's student competition, but I've been looking forward to it for a long time." β
The student chimed in: "Yes, it will take at least a year and a half to go to Fuso, and it is not worth wasting so much time with only 20,000 credits." β
The senior brother of the ram is named Ram Liushui, he is the heir of the royal family of the old Jin Kingdom, with a family history, and his swordsmanship is the best among the current students.
Listening to the student's words, Ram Flowing Water sighed and turned to leave.
"You don't understand at all...... The real value of this task is not the 20,000 credits at all. He said abruptly that he genuinely wanted to be part of what was destined to be a thrilling journey.
But it's a pity that he has been dormant for many years and has no such time at all.
He had to compete in the big tournament of the year and beat the opponents he had wanted to beat for a long time...... Because this year is the year of new students, and it is also the year of graduation of old students.
The new students will enter in the summer, and the old students will graduate at the end of the year, which will be his last annual competition, and he will definitely win the first place!
Donglaifeng was in a uproar by this new task, 20,000 credits is not a lot, in Jixia, even if it is delicious and delicious every day, big fish and meat, it is enough to live for two or three years.
If you trade with those students of the Demon Dao Department and the Institution Academy, even those high-level Demon Dao formations and mechanisms that can play a role in the Sage can be exchanged for more than ten pieces.
If this figure is converted into gold, it is at least a thousand taels, and it has no price.
But unfortunately, the reward is a pitiful amount compared to the price.
For example, the task that Aoba and Li Bai did before, although it depends on luck to receive it, but at most it is only a few months, and they can receive one or two, and counting some odd jobs, it is not too difficult to get enough of 20,000 credits.
At least it's much simpler than going to Fuso and knowing life and death.
However, at noon, it seemed that the students were all unattended, and Donglai Feng quietly increased the reward of that task to 30,000.
And regardless of the number of people, as long as you participate, you can get 30,000 credits per person after you come back.
Unfortunately, there is still no one to claim this task.
The students who thought that Donglai Peak would continue to increase the task rewards in the future, but they found that Donglai Peak was completely silent, as if the release of this task was just a routine......
ββββββ
Yamashita Kishita Town
Takeshita said angrily: "The people under the grass are obviously fooling us, saying that everything is based on the students' volition, and so on, all of them are prevarications, Mr. Miyamoto, they ...... How could they be so irresponsible!"
Miyamoto Musashi sighed: "Takeshita-kun, it seems that if we want to go back to Fuso, we still have to rely on ourselves after all." β
Takeshita snorted, and began to pack his luggage angrily: "That damn old man, he deceived us for doing him a favor in vain, but he got nothing, let's go, let's go now, even if it sinks into the sea, we won't look at the eyes of these Han people here." β
Miyamoto shook his head and said, "Don't pack it up yet, wait a few days, Mr. Li has made an appointment with me and will come to me as soon as possible, and if you want to leave, you have to wait for him to go to the appointment before leaving." β
Takeshita's movements paused, and he sighed: "Mr. Li is a good person, but he can't help us, the kamikaze will last for more than a month, if Mr. Li returns to Fusang with us, it may kill Mr. Li......"
"Unless we continue to wait, but by then, Fuso will already be in a mess!" Takeshita knelt on the futon worriedly and said in a deep voice.
Miyamoto nodded, and did not speak again, his seemingly calm face already looked like a volcano about to erupt.
He clenched his fists and prayed secretly: "Atong, you must not have anything, you must not!"
