Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Desire to Win
December 3, 2020, enters the twenty-second day of the new moon.
At half past seven in the morning, I woke up from my dream, winter mornings made people lazy, and I savored the warmth of the bed for five minutes, and then I got up and washed.
Tossed until eight o'clock, and started work on time.
"Wow~!"
A white light flashed, and I returned to Meiling Snow Mountain.
I was in a warm air-conditioned room when I suddenly felt cold, which made me very uncomfortable.
I summoned the Silver Fox III and rode it for a few minutes, letting the cold wind lap on my cheeks, and then I slowly got used to the temperature.
The pilot, Silver Fox No. 3, returned to the place where everyone went offline yesterday, and it was already the agreed time, but my group of friends seemed to be not very punctual.
"Who's going to be the first to go online?" I laughed and muttered to myself.
A white light flashed nearby, and a tall figure appeared.
The light cleared, and I saw a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Instantly recognized, it's the Guardian.
The guardian said with a courteous face: "Brother Denghuo, have you read the forum?" ”
"No, what's wrong?"
"Have you seen the news, the game section?"
"I usually watch the news in the morning, but unfortunately I didn't watch it today."
"Tsk, then you should hurry up and take a look, you are not only on the headlines of the forum, but also on the news." The Guardian's eyebrows fluttered, as if he were on the news.
"What?"
I clicked on the forum with a confused face, and there was a post that was pinned.
Probably the content is that the first riding player appeared in the new moon, and the level is less than 30 to ride, and the player still has the first hidden professional spirit master of the new moon server, according to reliable netizens, the light is the illegitimate son of the boss of the crescent moon.
There are also a few screenshots below the text, which I took when I was riding the Silver Fox III.
also gave me a close-up of my face, and I can only say that the person's photography level is not good, and I am ugly by three points.
I glanced at the top right corner of the post and the number of comments reached an exaggerated 580,000.
detonated the whole forum.
When I was watching the forum, the godfather of spicy strips and Xiaoyu Xixi were also online.
The godfather of the spicy strip opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Shan Shan, are you really the son of the boss of the crescent moon?" ”
"Neurotic." I laughed and cursed.
"Really, isn't it?" The godfather of spicy strips does not give up.
"Of course not!" After I finished speaking, I looked around and found that Meng Xiaoxi was still not online.
So he said to everyone: "Wait a minute, I'll go offline to watch the news first.,The first time I'm on the news.,I'm a little curious about how to write me.,You can see the forum in the game, you can't see the web page.,It's really a little inconvenient.,By the way, I'm going to see if Xiaoxi got up.。 ”
"What, watch Xiaoxi get up? Are you living together? The Guardian exclaimed.
“…… Xiaoxi and I are just in N City, so we have offline contact. I was ashamed.
"N City, I'm in T City, I'll hand over to you." Xiao Yu said in surprise.
"I haven't heard anything you guys say." The Guardian wondered.
"Guardian, where are you?" I asked.
"I'm in the imperial capital."
This time it was the godfather of spicy strips who was shocked.
"What, you're in the imperial capital? I'm also in the imperial capital. ”
They continued to chat, and I went offline first.
I took my mobile phone and dialed Meng Xiaoxi's number.,By the way, I opened the computer and opened the game news page.。
"This lazy pig, I don't think I'm oversleeping."
After dialing the phone, there was not the soft voice on the other end of the phone that I had not yet woken up, but a clear male voice.
"Hey, hello."
I was stunned for a few tenths of a second, and then said, "Uh, hello, is this Meng Xiaoxi's mobile phone?" ”
"Meng Xiaoxi? Oh, she does have that name online. Said on the other end of the phone.
I suddenly didn't know what to say, the phone call of Meng Xiaoxi in the early morning was actually answered by a man, and a huge amount of information suddenly flew out of my brain, and my mood dropped to the extreme.
"You're a no-brainer, aren't you?" The other end of the phone heard that there was no response from my side, so I spoke first.
"How did you know about me?"
The other end of the phone did not answer my question, and continued: "Xiaoxi is a little unwell today, and she is hanging salt water in the hospital, so she will not be online today." ”
"I see, then let her have a good rest." I said with mixed feelings.
Just as I was about to hang up, the other end of the line spoke again.
"By the way, I think you may be misunderstood, I'm Xiaoxi's brother, the biological kind."
I obviously felt that the person on the other side was still smiling when he said this.
But it was also this sentence that made me feel instantly warmed up when I talked about the freezing point.
It was also at this time that I heard a small but familiar voice on the other end of the phone.
"Brother, who's calling?"
The owner of the voice sounded a little tired, but I instantly heard it clearly that it was the voice of Meng Xiaoxi.
"Oh, your netizen called, looking for you, I don't know what to look for you."
"Netizen? Give me the phone. Meng Xiaoxi took the phone.
"That, Xiaoxi, it's me." I was a little shy.
"Lights? What are you looking for me? ”
"We went online in the morning and found that you weren't online, so I called and asked, how is it, what's wrong with your body?"
"After staying up late before, I was a little unwell and there was nothing wrong."
"Which hospital are you in, I'll come and see." I said with concern.
"No, it's not a serious problem, I'm running out of salt water here, I'll go back later."
"Uh, really?" I hesitated.
"No, you've watched today's forum, right?"
"Looked."
"Look at my anger, the current forum netizens are really too good, because you have a mount, and you are a hidden profession, jealousy exploded, and after finding out that your level was higher than yours, they laughed at your level, so you can level up well, surpass them, and slap them in the face."
Meng Xiaoxi was angry when she said this, but it made me feel warm.
Playing games for so long,Actually, I don't have much idea about the level or anything.,As long as it's not too backward.,There's a stable income every month.,I'm already very satisfied.,But Meng Xiaoxi's simple words,But the desire to win in my heart began to burn.。
After I went online again, the Guardians were brushing the ice wolf not far away, and I immediately joined the battle, and by the way, I told them about Meng Xiaoxi's illness.
Without the powerful output of Meng Xiaoxi, the efficiency of our monster farming has been reduced a lot.
When many players passing by saw me, they stopped to say hello to me, afraid that they really thought I was the illegitimate son of the Crescent Boss.
Of course, there are also players who are disrespectful, for unnecessary trouble, we went to a relatively remote corner to continue to brush the ice wolf, and continued to brush until the evening, and Meng Xiaoxi finally went online.
At this point, I have reached level 29, and my Silver Fox has also reached level 26.
Meng Xiaoxi's pretty face still looks a little haggard, but her eyes are still very bright.
"Lights, have you upgraded your silver fox?"
"That's right."
"The height of its back seems to be a little higher, you have to practice more, and if it is a little bigger, you may be able to bring people."
Thinking of bringing people, I remembered the situation when I went out of Black Rock City with Meng Xiaoxi before, and the silver fox No. 3 was too small to cause Meng Xiaoxi in a skirt to refuse to sit.
"Well, I'll do my best."
"Also, you can go to the blacksmith shop and see if you can make a saddle that will add some height so you don't have to sit cross-legged and worry about falling off."
"Saddle, can't those player blacksmiths on the mountainside make it?"
"The player blacksmith here is also the ability to repair the durability of the equipment, not to mention the rest, according to my understanding, there is no player blacksmith who can make equipment by himself." Meng Xiaoxi said.
Thinking about it, the explosion rate of Xinyue's equipment is so low, and there are also his considerations, if the player can make equipment at will, it will disrupt his plan.
Meng Xiaoxi went offline in less than an hour, she still needs a good rest, we brushed until eleven o'clock in the evening, everyone else in the team went offline, I thought about it, and decided to go back to Black Rock City.
I couldn't bear to tear open the ticket to return to the city that I had bought with a huge amount of money and a gold coin, and returned to Black Rock City.
When I first came to the door of the blacksmith's shop, I didn't expect the blacksmith to recognize me after a long time, and greeted me warmly.
"Adventurer, you're here again."
"Yes, Master, I'm here to repair equipment."
"Oh, then you go to my little apprentice, now he is in charge of these little things."
I glanced at the side, and sure enough, there was still a person there, also a dwarf, but he looked smaller than the one in front of him, and the difference in appearance was not very big from the one in front of him.
"Master, in addition to repairing equipment, I have another thing I want to ask you."
The blacksmith's expression tightened, and he asked in a low voice, "What else do you have to do here?" Didn't we say we wanted to keep it secret? ”
"Master, that's not the thing." I explained.
I didn't expect the blacksmith to remember the previous sale of weapons.
"It's not that, what is it?"
Looking at the dwarven blacksmith of the philistine, I couldn't stop laughing.
"Master, I want to ask you if you can make a custom saddle?"
"Saddle? Isn't this kind of thing sold everywhere? ”
"No, master, the kind of metal saddle I want to have good ductility." With that, I summoned Silver Fox No. 3.
"You see, this pet can be ridden now, but it's too small, and my legs are hanging on the ground while I'm sitting, and I'm thinking if I can add a saddle up and raise the height a little, but this mount is still in its growth period, so if it's the kind of malleability that is very good, can it grow with its size?" I asked tentatively.
"I'm afraid this is difficult, if it can change with the size of the body, this means that its material is abnormally soft, then the soft material will not allow you to sit on it, and it will be deformed if you sit on it."
"I see, sure enough, the game can't be too contrary to science." I sighed.
"But ......" two words suddenly came out of the blacksmith's mouth, and looking at his evil smile, I knew that he had a way, and of course I also knew that I should be slandered again.
"In ancient times, there was a casting method, in that era, all the people were soldiers, and many children were pulled to train at an early age, but the children's physique was small, and they developed quickly, and it was very troublesome to always replace the armor, so at that time a casting master designed a kind of armor that could be assembled, and he delicately designed the armor into small pieces, each small piece can be combined, and can be assembled into pieces of armor of different sizes according to needs, and more importantly, although it is assembled, However, it has an extremely high compact type, and it does not spread out due to an attack on the assembly problem. ”
"Master, do you want to say that you happen to be able to use such a skill?"
"Haha, that's nature, we dwarves have studied it thoroughly hundreds of years ago, so it's no problem to use it to change a saddle."
"Master, we've known each other for so long, just tell me directly, what materials you need, and I'll make them for you."
"The material is not a problem, I basically have it here, but this ancient casting method, when casting, needs a driving core."
"Core?"
"As long as it's a higher-level monster, it can basically condense a magic core."
"Where can I get this core?" I went straight to the point.
"I smell a wild smell in you, have you been dealing with ice wolves lately?" The dwarven blacksmith asked.
"Damn, you can smell this?"
"You just say it's not right."
"Yes!"
"This magic core is not difficult, you go to the upper part of Meiling Snow Mountain to find it, there are a lot of ice pole demon wolves, kill that guy, there is a high probability of bursting the magic core, you go collect 100 magic cores, we are all old acquaintances, I will come out of the rest of the materials myself, how about it."
I still know a little bit about the blacksmith, a philistine like him, and he actually said that he provided the materials, and he would definitely make a lot of money with this magic core, so he was so generous by chance.
After the blacksmith finished speaking, I received a system message.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Whether to accept the quest - [Ancient Casting Process].
