Chapter 2: The Mysterious Man

The unexpected gift that Alan received was this portable system.

At first, he thought that the virtual system that suddenly appeared was some kind of high-tech artificial intelligence brain, like the advanced version with the family crest in his cousin Patway's hand, or the elementary version like Daisy's chest.

Those artificial intelligence brains are used as personal terminals, which are not only proof of identity, but also can be used as holographic communicators, and can also be connected to the virtual platform of the empire, which is a necessity for Samuel's life.

But when Daisy said that Allen's original personal terminal had been damaged in a previous crash, and a few days later his uncle Rolf had someone send a new brain over, Allen realized-

This system in your own consciousness is not a planetary thing!

After a period of exploration, Alan finally got some understanding of this portable system.

This system is somewhat similar to some kind of game panel in form, the total interface was level 0 at the beginning, and now it has been upgraded to level 3, and the progress bar at the back shows 100/200, which means that he still needs to get 100 points before he can upgrade to level 4.

There are three categories on the operation interface of the system: "Tasks", "Skills" and "Warehouse".

The "Tasks" list has three submenus – Daily Tasks, Random Tasks, and Mandatory Tasks.

The "Skills" list is currently empty, and I'm afraid he will have to wait for further research to find out how to turn on this part of the function.

"Warehouse" has three item columns: Materials, Machinery, and Special, click on each item bar, and the interface is divided into five grids, one row, five grids, and one column, and the rewards obtained by completing tasks are stored in these grids.

Alan had completed two daily collection tasks before, and the rewards he received were all plant seeds, except for system points. He looked up the information on the artificial intelligence brain, and it seemed that they were some precious varieties with special effects.

This is the first time that the "Mechanical Pack" in the mission reward has appeared other than seeds, and Alan wants to try to complete the quest to get this reward.

Then the first thing to do is to find the mission target, which is a Mioko fruit that is unique to the Abner Mountains.

According to the data of the personal terminal, the Miocco fruit tree needs to grow naturally to bear fruit, and when the fruit is ripe, it will land quickly and the whole plant will wither immediately. New seedlings may grow in the same place the next year, but it is also possible that fruit trees will not grow again for several years in a row.

Due to the special magnetic field in the Abuna Mountains, there are no ships, mechs, or mechs in sight here - any machinery that needs to be powered to use it will stop working here and the compass will fail.

Therefore, in order to find fruit trees, most of them can only rely on mountain people who have lived near the mountains for generations, who can identify the direction by the movement of the star Sangyang and the growth state of the plants, and after finding the seedlings of the Miocco fruit trees, they will roughly locate them, and wait until the fruits are about to ripen before picking them.

In this way, the amount of miocco fruit obtained is very small, and it has the effect of stabilizing dìng and improving mental power, so the price has always been high.

A single Miok fruit can be exchanged for 10,000 crystals, which is equivalent to a second-level energy stone, or even a month's income for some people

Alan walked through Moondew Lake, even if he officially entered the special magnetic field area of Mount Abner. The smart terminal on his wrist is really the same as the rumors, it can't be turned on at all, it seems to be just an ornament printed with the family emblem.

And the system that can still be opened freely in Allen's consciousness is even more special at this time!

Seeing that the red dot displayed on the map of the system was getting closer and closer, and a sweet smell wafted in the air, Alan was out of breath and finally saw the legendary Miocco fruit tree in a low-lying valley!

I saw that the clusters of plants spread out from the main branches more than two meters high above the ground, and if you ignore the needle-like leaves, the brown plants look like giant thorns lying on the ground from a distance.

Those fist-sized gray-white fruits are at the ends of the branches, swaying in the wind, and there is a sense of joy.

This fruit tree is quite large, it is estimated that there are more than a dozen, and each tree has seven or eight fruits hanging on it, except for the near top of the tree, which cannot be obtained, and the rest is more than enough to complete the task.

It is said that the Mioc fruit has no flavor before it is ripe, and once it is close to ripe, it will emit a fragrance, and since the Mioc fruit is about to ripen, it should be close to the time of shedding and wilting.

Alan hurriedly set off from the side, put all the Mioco fruits he could reach into the warehouse, and slowly moved towards the fruit trees in the depths.

Just as Alan turned to the other side, about to pick a fruit in front of him, a fair-skinned and slender hand appeared in his sight!

Alan looked up at the hand, only to find a slender man standing next to him, wearing a long black cloak, revealing a white neckline painted with intricate dark lines, and long silver hair hanging down his chest.

Since being reborn on this planet, Alan has also seen some handsome young men and girls from aristocratic families.

But the appearance and temperament of the man in front of him were outstanding, and there was an indescribable holiness and detachment—his fair skin and long silver hair seemed to glow under the light of the stars!

It turns out that there really is that kind of beauty with background special effects in this world!

Good afternoon. ^__^

With a gentle smile on the other party's face, he also took the initiative to say hello, and Alan also hurriedly responded politely, Good afternoon!

The sun was shining, which was perfect for a few pleasantries, but at this moment, the Miocco fruit on the fruit tree next to them suddenly fell off without warning!

The husks, which looked supposed to be very hard, burst open when they encountered the soil, and the milky white sap seeped into the soil, and the clumps of plants more than two meters tall immediately dehydrated, withered, and lost all their vigorous vitality!

As the information suggests, this is what happens when the Miocco fruit is ripe - I just didn't expect it to be so fast!

At this moment, in addition to surprise, Allen's face was only a capital embarrassment!

Because the system warehouse can be directly stored in the mission goal, he does not bring any containers such as baggage and baskets.

Compared with the cloth bag in the hands of the silver-haired beauty, which looked heavy, the Mioko fruit in Allen's hand that had not had time to be put into the system warehouse looked particularly lonely and silly

The sweet smell of Mioko's fruit remained in the air, and the young man's delicate side face and dark green eyes as clear and pure as a lake made Elijah unconsciously think of a person and a memory from a long time ago.

He shook the twelve-pointed star pendant that hung on his chest, then gently removed it and put it on the boy's neck while he was still stunned.

(⊙o⊙)! What's the situation? What is it?

Alan was startled by Elijah's sudden approach, and took a few steps back to find that the other party had worn a chain on it, and on the chain hung a delicate crystal bottle with a twelve-pointed star pattern representing the Holy See.

At this moment, Allen's consciousness sounded the prompt of the task update, and the system panel automatically popped up.

Random tasks

Content: Obtain the Twelve-Pointed Star Crystal Bottle

Reward: A random gift pack, 500 points

Duration: 24 hours

Failure Penalty: Inventory items and system points are reset to zero

No way? The points and things that he had saved up with great difficulty would be cleared all at once, and Alan would feel that he would definitely cry!

And this random mission has a reward of 500 points!

That's the total number of points you can get for completing ten daily tasks!

Maybe after completing it, the system can be directly upgraded to level 5 - will the empty "skill" column in the panel be opened?

But in this way, you have to take advantage of others, let alone take advantage of the "cheapness" of strangers you meet for the first time, and Alan is a little embarrassed in his heart.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to accept this gift, so he shy but sincere to thank the other party, thank you, I like this very much

Noticing the young man's discomfort at the moment, Elijah's heart was even softer, and he gently touched Allen's forehead with his fingers, and said softly, My God is with you

Seeing the boy leave, Elijah also turned and walked into the depths of Mount Abna, where more than two dozen men in black robes waited quietly in the forest not far away.

One of them stepped forward, bowed, took the burden from Elijah's hand, and then said respectfully, My lord, just now there is news from the temple that the two highnesses have arrived in advance.

Elijah nodded and said he knew - some time ago, a believer discovered that there were suspicious people in Mount Abna, and in order to ensure the safety of the two highnesses, he and several senior deacons of the temple personally led the knights stationed in the temple to investigate nearby.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet the son of the deceased.

There is a wolf-shaped family emblem on the personal terminal on the wrist of the young man, which shows that he was born in a famous family, but his spiritual power does not have any special breath, this child is indeed The contents of that twelve-pointed star crystal bottle are good, but after all, they are only suitable for external injuries. Even if it's Mioko, it won't play much role for people who don't have special mental power.

If he has a little tendency to purify his spiritual power, even if his genetic level is not high, with Elijah's identity, he can bring the young man to live in the Holy See.

But now it's a shame.

I don't know that the mysterious silver-haired beauty is worried about him, but Alan on the other side is very excited!

After completing the random task, the system was really upgraded to level 5, plus the previous daily task reward, he had two more unopened gift packs in his warehouse, one in "Mechanical" and one in "Special".

Alan couldn't wait to open the random gift pack, and the description of the first "special" warehouse slot instantly changed to "planting space", and the "planting" skill appeared in the originally empty "skill" menu.

Is this the rhythm of winning the jackpot?!

Having received a few seeds, Alan was still troubled by the difficulty of growing these rare plants with different and striking growing conditions in full view of the castle.

Now it is estimated that there are tools in the mechanical gift package, plus a piece of land that will not be discovered - the system simply provides a one-stop service, don't be too intimate!

When the time comes, together with Mio Keguo, the crystal coins will be exchanged, and Allen's children said that the more money in the private room, the better!

While Alan was excited about the new gift, in the old castle at the foot of Mount Abner, the servants were making the final preparations for the day's dinner.
