Chapter 089: Gambling Contract
In this way, after cleaning Don Quixote's mansion inside and out, Gaudus moved in with Spider and Peacock.
Gaudus had a rough plan for himself, and that was to practice the array technique.
Of course, array technology can be said to be the source of wealth, but it also requires a lot of resources to be invested as the consumption of preliminary exercises, whether it is array carving knife, array brush, or substrate and array stock solution, these are all golden coins.
But fortunately, Gaudus has mastered the drawing technique of the magic array [solid], and with this technology, Gaudus can carry out a primitive accumulation of resources.
Although Gao Duo has only mastered level 1 array technology and can only make some basic magic arrays, because array mages are too rare, Gao Duo is not worried about orders at all... The market of the magic array will always be a seller's market, and the supply exceeds the demand.
Gaudus then went to the branch of the Mage Guild and submitted two missions, the Tier II quest [Mutant Goblin's Ears] and the Tier III quest [Hydra's Scales].
Among them, the task of [Mutant Goblin's Ears] is to pay a pair of mutant goblin ears, and Gaudus killed the goblin assassin Black Hair during the plantation defense battle, and cut off his ears as trophies.
And now, it comes in handy.
After submitting this task, the reward points in the Gaudus Crystal card were directly increased by a large amount, and at the same time, it was also promoted from a level 2 member to a level 3 member.
Promoted to Level 3 membership, Gaudus gains more privileges, including submitting Level III missions, increasing the monthly gold exchange limit from 500 gold to 1000 gold, allowing the purchase of Level III items and services, and a 9.5% discount on all purchases made in the Mage's Guild, as well as the services provided.
After becoming a Tier 3 member, Gaudus immediately submitted the quest [Hydra's Scales], which was fulfilled on the condition of paying three Hydra Scales, and Gauldos received a larger bonus point.
Looking at the amount of bonus points displayed on the card, Gaudus felt a lot more at ease. Wealth is the basis for exercising everything at all times, and as long as the price is high enough, 95% of everything in the world can become a negotiable commodity.
Gao Duosi took out the crystal card, first clicked on the [Gold Coin Exchange Service], exchanged 1,000 gold coins of full color for daily expenses, and then clicked on the purchase service, and selected the purchase option of [Magic Array Related Items].
Soon, an arrow appeared on the card, directing Gaudus to the "Array Service Area" on the second floor of the attic.
Looking at the intricate purchasable items on the cards, Gao Duos clicked on the [Engraving Tools] column and selected [Beginner Array Carving Knife], [Beginner Array Brush], as well as the Magic Stove, Crystal Fuel, and Essence Steamer, as well as the Essence Modulation Materials required for the Magic Array [Solid] and a substrate called "Dennis Wolf Skin".
After purchasing 60 copies of the materials for the [Solid] Array, the Reward Points of the High Priests have been depleted. As he prepares to leave, he happens to meet the fat mage Stephen.
Stephen this guy looks like he has a more nourishing life, he is holding a glass of blueberry sundae in his hand, holding a miscanthus straw, sipping the blueberry juice and cream in the sundae, and from time to time he rolls up two pieces of mixed fruit dotted on it with his tongue, and the ecstasy expression is like a hungry wolf who has not touched a woman for 3 years, and is holding a royal sister who is picked by you and tasting it wantonly, it is really how obscene and obscene, how coquettish and coquettish.
As soon as the two of them took a look at each other, Stephen's **-sized eyes were round, and at this moment, the pale face of Gao Duos fell in his eyes, how kind did he look. He smiled and said, "Eh, isn't this my dear old friend Gao Duosi, what's the matter, went out to do the mission again?" β
Looking at Stephen's smiling fat face, Gao Duos couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking that this is also an adult in his twenties, especially since he is also a magician with a prominent status, he should use his leisure time to attend a grand banquet like other colleagues, use his status as a magician to decorate the faΓ§ade of those vain nobles, or participate in some social salons of mage groups, and exchange some magic items or ideas with each other.
But this product,It's just a magician's version of the otaku.,Don't like to socialize.,Don't like to go out.,He's only obsessed with books.,Especially the hand-painted original of the desolate land.γ
Looking at Gao Duosi's deep thinking expression, the dead fat man smiled and handed the blueberry sundae in his hand to Gao Duo and said, "What? Want to take a bite? Delicious blueberry sundae! β
Gao Duosi gave him a blank look and said, "I'm not interested." β
Stephen shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the two large bags of array materials that Gao Duos was carrying, and couldn't help but wonder, "These array materials... Are you planning to sell them? β
Gao Duo shook his head and said, "These are the materials I use to practice the array technique. β
"Well, practice array techniques, nice idea... Wait a minute! It's practice, not learning?! Are you saying that you have mastered the [Array Technology]?! β
Gao Duosi nodded and sighed, "The level is still very low, it's just lv1. β
"How long have we not seen each other? Two months? Trimester? Four months? Or half a year? β
Gao Duos thought for a moment and said, "More than forty days." β
"More than forty days? In more than forty days, you have mastered the [Array Technology Lv1]? β
"Well, but my array technology is still very new, and I have only mastered the drawing technique of the magic array [solid] so far."
"What?" Stephen's mouth was wide enough to swallow a full cup of blueberry sundae.
"Oh my God, Sid Meier is above, the desolate earth is above, what have I heard? A beginner in array technology actually uses [sturdy] as a priority to learn the starter array? Are you a true genius? β
Gordos coughed awkwardly, then patted Stephen on the shoulder and said, "My dear Stephen, I think everyone is busy, I still have something to do, or we will say goodbye now." β
Seeing that Gaudus was leaving, Stephen quickly grabbed him and said, "My old friend, are you going to abandon me like this?" Have you forgotten that you promised me one more thing? β
Gaudos thought for a moment and said, "I did forget, okay, this blueberry sundae looks good, enjoy it, goodbye." β
Stephen couldn't bear it anymore and said, "You promised to help me make a [soundproof] array!" β
Gaudos paused and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this thing was particularly fond of making exaggerated exclamations when he read the serial books of the desolate land, and he seemed to have reminded him.
He said, "It seems that there is such a thing, but unfortunately, I have only mastered the [Solid] Array, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." β
Stephen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I can buy the blueprints for the [soundproof] array and all the materials I need." As a man, a gentleman, a magician, and especially a necromancer, you have to keep your promises, don't you? β
Listening to Stephen's fallacies, he thought to himself that this might be the worst time a necromancer has been blown out, and the necromancer, who has always been known for his evil, has become a humble gentleman who keeps his promise in the mouth of this dead fat man, which if the uninformed person hears it, he thinks it is ironic.
All in all, Stephen exhausted all means and finally dragged Gaudus to his room, and immediately afterward, a mage apprentice sent over the blueprints and 10 materials of the [Soundproofing] array. After all, it was the first time to make this array, and if Gao Duosi really mastered the [Array Technique Lv1], then 10 materials should be enough.
"You're all set, now please start your show." Stephen took a bite of the blueberry sundae and said with a smile.
Gaudus noticed the sinister smile on the fat man's face, and suddenly realized that he might not be doing it all for himself, but more likely for seeing himself look good.
If you waste 10 materials and don't make the [sound insulation] array, wouldn't that prove that everything you just said is just bragging?
Realizing this, Gaudus couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "Stephen, shall we make a bet?" β
"Haha, bet? Don't you know that I, Stephen, am Lady Luck's favorite darling? She's bared her thighs to me 38 times! β
Seeing Stephen open his mouth and brag unpretentiously, Gao Duos couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "If I can make 3 [soundproof] arrays before these 10 materials are exhausted, then even if I win." Otherwise, you win. β
Stephen burst out laughing, and his voice could be heard throughout the hallway. He laughed for a full 3 minutes, then said, "If you can make 1 piece of the array before the materials run out, even if I lose!" β
"Okay, what's the bet?"
"Bets?" Stephen chewed on the assorted fruit on the sundae and said viciously, "If I lose, I'll give this to you!" β
With that, he slapped a scroll on the table.
Gao Duosi recognized it at a glance, and this turned out to be a [Mage Ability Improvement Scroll].
