Chapter 20: Main Quest

A large number of purchased herbs and production materials were quickly made by Nightshade, so the proficiency of the medicine man's craft grew rapidly, and soon increased to level 9, and the blacksmith and tailor were incidental skills belonging to the architect, and each time a certain skill was improved, the overall skill could be improved, so the architect level quickly reached level 9.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with my idea, and if I continue to operate in this way, it will not only be easy to make money, but also my skills will improve quickly. At present, the most important thing is to find a fixed place and hire workers to help you manage it, so that you can separate yourself and do other things.

Seeing that the things on the stall were almost finished, Nightshade put away the stall. Begin to observe other buildings along the square. Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms said that the place to buy a house is in a large building next to the square. At a glance, the most eye-catching thing around the square is the majestic city lord's mansion standing on one side of the square, and next to it is the Luofeng City Mansion that manages the city's affairs. Next to it is a training center for technicians of various professions.

Night Shadow followed the road into the Luofeng Mansion. This building, which looks majestic enough from the outside, looks even more empty when you look inside. Facing the door is a very wide passage for people to walk, with different partitioned rooms on each side, and signs with different names are hung at the door of the rooms, indicating the affairs of the house.

In the first house to the right of the entrance, Nightshadow saw an NPC old man named Zhong Yao sitting in a hall and writing, with two officials sitting below. The door indicates that this room is the real estate official that Nightshade is looking for. On the side where the old man sits, there is a row of storage shelves up to the ceiling, like the real-world library shelves, with all kinds of books neatly placed on the counter.

Nightshade walked into the house and came to the old man. He asked softly, "Old man, I want to buy a house with a storefront in the city, please introduce it to me." ”

Hearing someone ask, the old man raised his head, got up, took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Nightshadow, "Girl, let's take a look at the law of buying real estate first." ”

Nightshade took the book and opened it. It turned out that this was a book of house purchase requirements and rules for use. According to the book, there are many requirements for buying a house. Houses are divided into three categories, the upper class is the merit and prestige to meet certain requirements, you can buy a house in a prosperous area close to the city lord's mansion, this kind of house is generally divided into "palace" and "manor", this kind of house will have a large number of high-level NPC guards patrol, in order to ensure the safety of the residential area, the environment is also the best; followed by the medium, is the level, the scale of the power lord and the like, the level has reached the specified stage, or according to the division of the power process, you can buy the demarcated residential area to live, divided into "mansion" and "small building" , there are also guards with strong kung fu who patrol from time to time. There are unique views in high-end residential areas. The worst is the "private house", this kind of house is inferior, as long as you have the ability to buy you can live in, but the environment is much worse, generally in the alleys and remote corners, the player buys this kind of house, and does not enter his own house or the house is not set up to prevent theft, there will be occasional thieves patronizing and losing things.

But all houses have the same function, that is, some weapons and equipment and loot that are not usually used can be put in the home to avoid falling after death, and the higher the grade of the house, the stronger the corresponding function. The house is fully set up for visitors, so you can invite friends to visit the house in your spare time. "Friends", "strangers", and "blacklists" can be restricted from entering the house to disturb, and it can also be opened to players to visit. Each home has what is known in the real world as a "title deed".

Players cannot trade private residences, and buyers and sellers must go to the real estate administrator to pay a fee of 10% of the transaction price to complete the transfer procedures. Players who own a house every half month have to pay property management fees of varying amounts, and if the amount is insufficient, the function of the residence will be stopped, and if they do not pay for more than 1 month, the "property ownership certificate" will be confiscated.

Nightshade compared the geographical locations of these three types of houses, and had no suspense to focus on the first category. However, this kind of thing can only be obtained by merit and prestige, and it is more difficult to do. However, the latter two types can't be considered at all, simple houses are useless to themselves, they have to open the door to do business, regardless of location and popularity, they need to be near the square.

With the decision decided, Nightshadow asks the real estate official Zhong Yao how to gain prestige and merit.

"It's hard to say, it's easy to say. Zhong Yao stopped the pen in his hand, "In the land of our Shenzhou, killing demons, returning the people's place of residence, being supported by the people, and being rewarded by the city lord can all get prestige and merit." It depends on whether you have the ability or not, whether you are willing or not. However, seeing that you are quite young, it is better to grow up and consider this. ”

Now that Nightshade has made up her mind, how can she retreat so easily.

"Old man, I wonder if my level 9 architect and level 9 pharmacist can do anything to increase their prestige and merit?" asked Nightshade without giving up.

"What, you're a level 9 architect, and you're also a level 9 pharmacist?" Zhong Yao stood up in surprise.

"That's right, I'm still a level 7 formation mage, a level 7 animal trainer, and by the way, a level 7 chef. "There is a play, seeing Zhong Yao's expression, Night Shadow hurriedly added.

"You...... You...... Are you telling the truth?" Zhong Yao stammered.

"If I don't have anything to do, I can practice for the past two days, and I can also upgrade the Architect and the Pharmacist to level 10. Night Shadow looked at Zhong Yao with a smile, and silently shouted in his heart, for these, give me the property rights of the superior class.

Zhong Yao turned around the house a few times with an excited expression, as if he had finally made a decision, and walked up to the night shadow, "Girl, no, master," as his attitude became very respectful, "Please follow me to meet the city lord, I think, the city lord is very happy to meet you." ”

Nightshade nodded, no matter when, there is a dependence, a relationship, and a little power, it is much more convenient to do anything, such a good opportunity, how can you not go? If you get in touch with the city lord, what will be difficult to do in this city in the future, at least for now, the chances of getting a house are much greater!

Zhong Yao instructed the two officials in the room a few words, and then left the Luofeng Mansion with the night shadow and came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. After asking the guards at the gate to report, the news came that the city lord was willing to meet after a while. Zhong Yao took the night shadow and followed the herald all the way into the inner guest room of the City Lord's Mansion, and saw a majestic old man with a long beard looking at the door in the room.

"Is this what you call the master?" asked the old man hesitantly.

"Yes, Lord Castle. Zhong Yaogong bowed, led Night Shadow to the left position and sat down, and the maid on the side immediately served Tea to Night Shadow.

"That's good," the city lord rubbed his hands together excitedly and nervously, and said to Night Shadow, "I have a brother who lives and dies, he was injured and poisoned in an accident many years ago, and he has never stood up again, and has been bedridden. In the past, I only invited a level 7 pharmacist at most in Tianji City, and it was difficult to find a high-level pharmacist, but today I heard that you are a level 9 and almost level 10 pharmacist, and I am happy. Young man, I would be grateful if you could save my brother's life. City Lord Zhao Zhen looked at the night shadow expectantly.

Mission! As soon as Night Shadow had this idea, he heard the system's prompt: Main Mission: Rescue the poisoned general Yu Fei.

It's not only the main quest but also the city lord's appreciation, and there are rewards to be gained, so you have to do it! Nightshade hurriedly replied: "Lord the city lord, don't worry, leave it to me." ”

"Okay, but my brother is not in the city lord's mansion, I sent him to a manor with natural hot springs to recuperate, I am the lord of a city, I am busy with affairs and can't leave, this road is not smooth, I will send a good general to follow you, and the other is to guide you. the second is to be your bodyguard, to keep you safe. Seeing that Nightshadow agreed, Zhao Zhen was very happy, and considering the danger of the road, he decided to give Nightshadow a guard.

Great! Nightshade's heart is dark, who can still have his own bullish spirit, when he goes out and encounters monsters at this time, he will use NPC soldiers as war pets, no, he will use generals as war pets!

The generals sent to serve as guards were quickly in place. This general named Wang Shouyi seems to be a very strict person. His body was straight, his armor was chose, and he held a long sword in his hand, and when he received the order, he followed the night shadow without moving.

Saying goodbye to the city lord, and then saying some kind words to Zhong Yao, Night Shadow took Wang Shouyi to the square. The square is still full of people, and there is never a shortage of people to play a good game. At the moment, the main thing I want to get is the house, and at present, only by doing this task, can I have the capital to talk to the city lord about human relations, anyway, it's okay, let's go to the task first.

After thinking clearly, he proposed to Wang Shouyi to go to the task immediately. Wang Shouyi naturally had no opinion, and as the leader, he walked towards the city gate with the night shadow. When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw Wang Shouyi, they bowed to him in unison, shouting, "I have seen the general!" Wang Shouyi nodded to them, and bowed respectfully to the night shadow, and continued to walk out with his head held high. Nightshade followed behind, noticing the gaze of the gatekeepers and the players wandering around the gate, shrunk his head, and quickly ran out as if he were Wang Shouyi's follower.

The grass, trees and mountains in the wild are covered with a faint night, and they become hazy. Wang Shouyi kept exploring the path in front of him, looking back at the night shadow behind him from time to time, the long sword was already unsheathed, ready to deal with the enemies and monsters that appeared at any time. Before leaving, the city lord repeatedly explained that his task was to safely send the great pharmacist to General Yu's residence and treat General Yu's stubborn illness for many years. General Yu is a person respected by all the soldiers and civilians of Luofeng City, for the general's illness, many soldiers have been sent out to find famous doctors for many years, and now the great pharmacist he protects is better than the pharmacist he has ever found, even if he pays for his life, he will send the great pharmacist to General Yu.

Compared to Wang Shouyi's nervous vigilance, Night Shadow was much more relaxed. For himself, as long as he doesn't kill monsters, Wang Shouyi is actually a burden. I'm an assassin, and if the momentum isn't right, my means of escaping for my life are leveraged. If you want to have speed, you can't run and be invisible, even if you die, it's just a matter of hurting to go back to the city for free and run again. But it's troublesome to have Wang Shouyi, the NPC character is really dead when he dies, and he brought someone out, but he can't just go back by himself. It's like now, the level 50 monster in a large area in front of him, if he is alone, he will completely cross through with a stealth, and take Wang Shouyi, which is going around and around, it will take eight lifetimes of effort!

With a sigh, Nightshadow still stubbornly followed, and he really didn't dare not follow. I don't know the destination of this mission, I can only be taken by this NPC soldier, and I can't run around, I don't have any contact with Wang Shouyi, unlike the little monkey, if you don't let you follow, you can collect the space, and you can't find each other if you run around for a while, I'm afraid you have to go back to the city to find it. Alas!~

Wang Shouyi is still unswervingly driving the road in front, but he doesn't understand why the person he protects has a bitter melon on his face, but what does it matter, he is a soldier, just follow orders.

Finally, after the night shadow chanted countless blessings from the gods and Buddhas, he arrived at a valley surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains without danger, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him, and the night shadow suddenly felt that the hard work of this road was worth it, looking at Wang Shouyi, who was also relieved, the night shadow understood that he was afraid that he had arrived at his destination. Wang Shouyi respectfully told the night shadow that General Yu's residence was in this valley. They finally arrived safely.
