Chapter 136: Hermes
A second pillar of light shot down from a high place in the center of the temple, and the circular tray on the second square table that was swinging horizontally across the temple instantly lit up.
Lu Yi spread out the three heavy money bags in his hand on the tray......
"One, two, three......
25.26......
Fifty-seven, fifty-eight......
Sixty-eight, sixty-nine, seventy...... Seventy-one? ”
"It's ten less than the last one?!"
As the second beam of light on the temple disappeared, Lu Yi's ears heard the voice of the game elf "Rong Xiao E" again:
"I'm sorry, but with only 71 gold coins, your second challenge failed! You can choose to leave and give up, or accept some prompts...... Continuing the challenge? ”
"Leave?" Lu Yi immediately dismissed the idea, he was curious if he chose to continue...... What kind of tips can you get......
"I choose to take the prompt and continue the challenge!" Lu Yi replied.
"Weak Demons...... I appreciate your ......"
In the empty temple, there was a void voice, which was very different from the girl's voice of "Rong Xiao E", like a cynical teenager.
"Pounce!"
On one of the walls of the temple, a flame burst into flames, and if you look closely, the flame is lit up at the top of a mountain range......
"That's it?!" Anna Cao of OB on the side blurted out, as if this hint was completely confusing.
"The change challenge hint I got was just a flame being lit...... Is it trying to tell me not to just focus on a thousand money bags on the shelf, and that the real answer is hidden in the environment? Lu tried to change his mind at first.
He surveyed the temple again.
Aside from the 1,000 money bags used for the challenge, there are only two places in the temple that can arouse suspicion, one is a vague stone statue, and the degree of carving of the stone can only be seen as a "human form", and it is a bit reluctant to call it a "half-finished".
On the other hand, there is the flame that has just been lit......
"Is it to build a relationship between the flame and the stone statue?" Lu Yi was puzzled.
"Did you find out?" Cao Anna couldn't help but ask.
"Not ...... yet"
"Forget it, let's get out of the challenge! It's too perverted, in the midst of the unknown, who can complete this kind of challenge? Cao Anna wanted to make Lu Yi retreat.
"It seems that once you choose to continue, there is no way back!" Lu Yi smiled helplessly.
"Alright! In that case, I can only choose to believe you! Cao Anna said to Lu Yi.
"Make a choice! The weak demon ......" the young man's voice from another dimension sounded again.
"Good! I'll give it another try! Lu Yi walked in front of the rows of money bags that were scattered high and low.
"1000-6, and 994 money bags, is there really a difference?"
With this thought, Lu Yi touched the bag with his hands again, some were very bulging, some were half-deflated, some were fluffy, and some were ...... I can't even touch anything.
Lu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up with a spark, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
"Maybe, that's it!"
I saw that Lu Yi no longer hesitated, and took off the first bag from the wall, which was an extremely flat jute-colored bag.
Then, in turn, he took off the two flattest purses and threw them onto the tray on the table.
Concentrate on OB
Cao Anna, seeing that the three bags could even float onto the table through the beams of light that came down from above, thought to herself that this was miserable, and she was going to fail the challenge!
Against the sunlight shining from the height of the temple, Lu Yi poured out the contents of the three bags in turn, and what Cao Anna didn't expect was that the three bags were not empty, and there happened to be a silver coin in each bag.
Lu Yi began to play with the three silver coins with his hand.
He observed in the light that each of the three silver coins was engraved with the image of a dog's head, and although they were similar, they had different expressions and directions when looked closely.
"Challenger, the total value of the three coins you have chosen is 300, congratulations on passing the Ranger's Career Challenge! Please go to the Idol to receive a job change! The voice of the system "Rong Xiao E" finally came, cheerful, mixed with a little excitement.
Lu Yi picked up three silver dog head coins and walked under the stone statue.
And after those silver coins approached the stone statue, the stone statue seemed to be inducted, and began to crack, and continued to peel off, about 20 seconds later, revealing his true face.
I saw a young man wearing winged flying shoes and a short-sleeved tunic with wings. He wears a sleek headdress that is half invisible helmet and half sun hat, with a wallet around his waist and a scepter in the shape of a "double-coiled serpent's wing". You can see willow branches wrapped around ribbons, but at the ends of those weird ribbons, there are actually two pythons. And the boy holding the "double snake staff" is even more mysterious.
"Hermes!"
"Weak demon, you have seen through my tricks! It's interesting how this happened, so you're willing to accept my guidance? ……”
Lu Yi observed that the mouth of the idol did not move, but the sound did come from inside.
"How do I take your guidance?" Although Lu Yi knew in his heart that he was going to complete the transfer, he still wanted to tease this famous thief god.
"It's very simple, if you return my three Cerberus coins, you can exchange them for my own power." Hermes said lightly.
Lu Yi looked down at the three silver coins in his palm, and there was a change at this time, it turned out to be the legendary cursed monster, and the eyes on the three heads were already open, like six gems with excellent craftsmanship glowing with blood-colored red light.
In fact, as a complex contradiction, Lu Yi didn't want to choose the career development of a wanderer from the bottom of his heart, because it was related to a secret that he didn't want to be mentioned, but fate liked to joke with him, but he didn't expect to go around and around, and ten years later, he stood back to the "original point".
But in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, he had to make some trade-offs......
"It's over? And that's the end?! Cao Anna asked, "Did you give him the silver coin?" ”
Lu Yi manipulated the game character to come out of the room in the career challenge mode, and in the face of Cao Anna's curiosity, he displayed the silver dog head coin that had been turned into a necklace in his hand.
"You didn't give it to him?" Cao Anna was very surprised.
"Instead, I gave it to him, but he only took back the six rubies from the silver coin, and said that when the time came, I would ......return them to me when I was stronger," Lu Yi explained.
"Hahahaha! Congratulations on your successful career change! It has become the first 'outlier' of our flower and plant team! Cao Anna's laughter alarmed several other people who were brushing the night.
However, their game was not completely over, and only the first to die was slowly coming out.
As soon as he came out, he heard Cao Anna's voice.
"Show me this necklace of yours!"
The system prompts: "Cerberus Curse Necklace - proof that you have an unruly heart, this item cannot be traded or lent, do you want to display it?" ”
"Accept the show!"
With Lu Yiyi's order, Cao Anna could finally take it with her hand and touch it.
"That's amazing, to be honest! How did you get through the challenge? I thought a thousand bags of money could really stump you! Cao Anna looked at Lu Yi with a pair of clear pupils.
"What?! Master Lu has completed the career challenge? Junko's mouth was wide open, as if even the gums could be seen clearly.
"Well, Lu Yi is so powerful! I can't believe it! I'm going to put my thoughts in order! ”
"What kind of profession is it? Successfully changed jobs on the first day of entering the game? Sure enough, it is the hope of the whole village of Huacao Village! Junko was even more curious.
"Wanderer."
"Wanderers? Is this also a profession? I don't know when, Zhang Song also retired from the game he was playing, and happened to hear that Lu Yi had successfully transferred to another job.
"Although it's called Hanako, it's also a promising (money) career!" Cao Anna swore that she really didn't lie. However, she was more concerned about Lu Yi's knack for completing the job transfer task, so she asked for the final trick of taking the money bag task.
"When I saw the flame on the top of the mountain, I guessed that maybe the trial of the transfer mission had something to do with Hermes, and the altar on the top of the mountain was on fire, representing Hermes lighting the flame of Olympus."
"Hermes is one of the twelve Greek gods of Olympus and represents Mercury among the eight planets. He was the son of Zeus and Maia, the patron god of merchants, the patron god of eloquence and the patron saint of various Greek athletic games. Legend has it that he invented the ruler, the number and the alphabet. Junko added with the help of the knowledge base in his mind:
"Clever and cunning, Hermes is regarded as the creator of the art of deception and the god of thieves, and legend has it that he had been a thief on the first night of his life, sneaking out from his mother Maia to steal the sacred cow of his brother Apollo; Not only that, but he even passed on the trick to his son. ”
"Why did you suddenly feel that this thief god was a little naughty?" Cao Anna smiled.
"Can you believe it? Is this the kind of person who also invented the lyre? It is said to be made with a rooster and a turtle......" Junko couldn't help but laugh too.
"I thought at the time that the cunning Hermes would never play his cards according to common sense, so the transfer trial he presided over could have been a hoax from the start...... Lu Yi said.
So, you do the opposite! Choosing the three purses that look the least and the most deflated? Cao Anna suddenly realized.
"I didn't expect to choose three silver dog head coins, probably because he led the great hero Hercules to Hades and got the head of the three-headed dog of hell Cerberus to the world......
Lu Yi knew that he could complete this mission, which definitely contained a fluke element, because there were only three chances, and it was unknown whether there was any other solution to the target 100 mission, but after reaching the score of 300, he could even be sure that it was the only solution.
"So, don't look at the only three coins, their value even exceeds many things that seem expensive, which tells us that the value of things is not necessarily determined by volume, and often some things that we ignore have more precious value!" Zhang Song suddenly began to learn to speak in a serious manner, and even looked like him.
"Hahahaha!"
Feng Xichuan, Guo Yinzhe, and Zhao Ping, who finally withdrew from the game, didn't even know what was going on when they saw this scene......
