Chapter 8: The Tower of Flame (Part II)

The three of them continued to climb the stairs, and Tang Xin began to check the harvest just now. First of all, he has been upgraded by two levels, and now Tang Xin's level is level four, and there are three unused skill points he has accumulated.

Puzzle Solver: Passive title, City NPC Friendship +5, 20% increase in experience gained from puzzle solving, and increased attribute of item rewards for solving puzzles.

Fire Badge: A special badge that increases fire resistance by 30 points, and the badge skill "Wildfire Rebellion" range magic consumes all MP, the more MP is consumed, the more powerful it is, and it takes effect when worn.

"Fragment of the Diary of the Mechanic Karui": A broken diary, 37% complete, readable.

Great stuff! Tang Xin immediately made a judgment.

The readable attribute is relatively rare in "Analog World", and usually only appears in the diaries, notes, suicide notes, and writings of high-level professional NPCs with names and surnames...... Middle.

By reading the text on these titles, players may be able to gain recipes, learn skills, quest clues, and access to hidden quests, as well as improve their intelligence and spiritual stats, gain experience points, and scholar reputation.

It can be said that once you get a book to read, you are equivalent to getting a treasure to be discovered. And although the "Fragment of the Diary of the Mechanic Karui" in front of him is only a fragment, it looks like it is more than 100,000 words thick, so you can imagine how much valuable information is hidden in it.

"I need this diary, but I don't have that much money." Tang Xin said frankly that the mechanic is a hidden profession, and Tang Xin doesn't know much about it. But she chose engineering, and the book was clearly relevant.

"Take it if you need it, you don't have to pay for it, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to come to the lighthouse, and so on I would have to trouble you to take us to visit other lighthouses." Second Prince Wen's voice came from a low voice, and he said with a chuckle.

"The market valuation of this diary is definitely above 1,000 gold coins, if it is sold at the auction house in the main city after level 30, it is possible to two or three thousand, then I will take advantage, when I owe each of you 350 gold coins, can I pay it off within a month?" Tang Xin insisted on paying and recorded the arrears in his notebook.

Although Wen Er Gongzi is simply indifferent to the equipment and money in the game, Tang Xin's principle is that everyone does not owe each other, so when they meet again, they can cut people happily without worrying too much.

"Well, is this diary only available to one person?" Second Prince Wen nodded, did not dwell on this question anymore, but looked at the diary in Tang Xin's hand and said curiously.

"That's not it, everyone can read it, but the better rewards in the book are the only ones, and if one person gets the other person, they can only get other rewards that are not triggered." Tang Xin explained that this was also the conclusion reached by the emperors on the forum that year, but Tang Xin was not stingy and directly informed the second son of Wen.

Wen Er Gongzi didn't ask Tang Xin why he knew so much, he was more interested in books, he asked with interest: "Can you lend me a look after reading it, I haven't read the books in the game yet, it seems to be very interesting." ”

"Yes, this is no problem, if you like to read books, you can go to the library in the city to see, there are many task clues, the big library in the main city is even better, if you accumulate enough prestige and contribution, you can also enter the library or ** library." Tang Xin nodded, she could feel that Wen Er Gongzi had a strong bookish atmosphere, such a person would probably like the library.

"Okay, I'll definitely check it out." Second Prince Wen nodded happily.

The library is another place to find clues to quests in addition to the tavern, where players can get access to the vast worldview of the entire Sim World, and even each dungeon, which is what the NPC calls the Valhallic Space, has a different worldview.

Such intricate character relationships and a huge quest system constitute a very complex world view, which once confuses players who are accustomed to brainless kimchi games.

Tang Xin took a completely different path from these players back then, she treated the game as the real world from the beginning, which also made her contact with the main line of this world by accident, and she had a deep relationship with many NPCs.

"By the way, I don't understand how you know to pour water on the lion's head?" Tang Xin asked while chatting while climbing the stairs.

"When I suspected that there was something wrong with the lion's head, I also tried to twist it, but the lion was tightly embedded in the pillar, and only the flowing substances such as gas and liquid could penetrate what seemed to be a seamless fit, and in the level of the Tower of Fire, water was the natural enemy of fire, but the heat along the way made our clothes dry, so it was even more difficult to notice the effect of water on this wood.

I don't know if you noticed when you poured the water on it just now, the water is quickly absorbed by the wood, below the floor of the disc, there is a simple switch, the water penetrates through the wood, reaches the bottom, gravity plus the principle of the lever, push the switch to the preparatory position, the mechanism on the floor can also bounce, and the water inside quickly evaporates at high temperature, so the mechanism on the floor can be reused.

This kind of design seems simple, but it fully takes into account the psychology of people, and can make this effect with simple techniques. Wen Ergongzi smiled lightly, exclaimed while admiring, and then said, "A lighthouse in the Novice Village can have this kind of design, and I am starting to look forward to the difficult dungeons and levels in the future." ”

Tang Xin said that she didn't know how to do it, anyway, she just passed the test, and she didn't bother with it.

She's a king of the field who is good at task flow and PK flow.,She's always been a lone PK maniac.,She knows a lot about where the field missions and treasure chests are.,The technique of unlocking and assassinating is also the right hand of God.。

But with the notorious Tang family killer ID, she has never had a copy with a fixed group, at most she has formed a wild team, all relying on her strong equipment and technology, and she can only ensure that she will not fight when she forms a wild team. This one...... Always give someone someone a chance.

Tang Xin didn't say that it was because she had too many PKs, which caused public anger, and no one took her to play in the next dungeon!

The three of them climbed the stairs as they spoke, and in a short time they reached the top of the tower. At the top of the tower is a circular space divided into two floors, and possibly a top-floor attic, small but full of wooden equipment.

This is obviously a very old lighthouse, which is set up with an intricate and delicate clockwork mechanism, composed of countless gears and wooden parts, in order to concentrate the red kerosene light source, and the tower keeper turns the clockwork device, so that the light of the red kerosene lamp can be filtered through the filter, so that people from farther away can see clearly.

The top floor is surrounded by large glassless windows, and the salty sea breeze blows, and you can see seagulls gliding on the surface of the sea and white sails in the distance.

But in this place that can be seen through at a glance, there is obviously no tower keeper.

If you want to go upstairs, you need to climb up a broken wooden ladder in the corner, the top of the ladder is covered by a thick steel plate, the steel plate is visually measured to weigh one or two tons, there are no handles and keyholes on it, and it is estimated that it is a machine spring control zhì.

It's annoying, and it's something she's not good at. After Tang Xin checked the surrounding scenes, he lay on the windowsill sullenly and looked out of the window gloomily.

Wen Er Gongzi looked at Tang Xin's expression, he only felt very coke, he shouted briskly upstairs: "Hey, hello, we are here to visit the tower keeper, and we have brought you good wine, jerky and pastries, is anyone there?" ”

"Squeak", "squeak", after a while, only the sound of gears turning and metal rubbing was heard, and the heavy steel plate on the ceiling was slowly pulled up.

Really! Tang Xin was even more depressed in his heart, forgetting the nonsensical urine sex of this game, anyway, players will never be able to guess the thoughts of the grinding goblins who plan the game, and they obviously think it is very complicated, but the solution is so simple.

Shame again...... Tang Xin burst into tears.

"Are the little cubs sent by Anna?" A nervous head with messy hair poked through the hole in the ceiling and looked down at the three of them, "Hurry up!" Come on quickly, old man, I'm going to starve! ”

The three of them climbed up the ladder under the urging of the tower guard, and the white robes on Tang Xin and Wen Ergongzi were suddenly made by the dirty ladder, and Jing Jiu's huge body made it very difficult for him to climb the "creaking" plank step by step, and drill up from the hole that was too narrow for him.

They came to a duplex one-bedroom apartment, upstairs with a bed and a small table, and downstairs a kitchen, dining room and bedroom, with a bathroom and toilet in the corner. The one-bedroom room is surprisingly furnished very warmly, very European-style pastoral style, the furnishings are simple and designed, and the nervous tower keeper with the head of the bird's nest is very unwanted.

"Come on, put the wine and food here!" The tower keeper pushed the messy garbage on the bar to the ground, wiped the bar with his dirty and greasy sleeves, and then lined up the wine, jerky and pastries in turn, rolled up his sleeves directly, grabbed the food with his dirty fingers and began to feast.

Tang Xin raised her eyebrows quietly and looked at Second Prince Wen, she was curious about what expression would appear on his face now.

Unexpectedly, what she saw was still a smile that was underwhelming, Tang Xin pursed her lips boredly, and looked around to check the residence of the tower keeper, she didn't forget that her purpose was to find clues to the mission, where did the Tang Ji brothers go, maybe there will be some clues here.

Tang Xin unscrupulously began to flip the items of the tower guard, which was actually a loophole in the early system, which had been adjusted after the first update, but now there is still a period of time before the system update.

Before the first update, when the NPC and the player handed over the task, it was in a non-interference state, that is, no matter what other players did, the process of handing over the task would not be interrupted, which was originally to protect the interests of players and avoid mission failure caused by other players.

However, this mode is exploited by some greedy and somewhat clever players, who build a mission scenario and then have friends go to the NPC's house to raid houses and loot valuable items and equipment for profit.

Tang Xin is also using this mode now, but she is purely looking for clues, of course, she clearly knows that the first update time is 1 game month after the game is launched, and there will be a major system update before the competitive matches in each region.

And now, it's not for nothing, is it? Could it be that she still has to wait for them to finish chatting and eating before doing her task? Every minute and every second in the first few days is precious, okay?
