Chapter Ninety-Six: The Fortune Teller
It took Murong Feng a lot of effort to calm down the violent heartbeat, and then picked up this magic pattern fur and slapped it directly on his left arm!
Bite!
[System Prompt: This item needs to be tattooed to be successfully branded!] 】
Murong Feng suddenly embarrassed
"Lian'er, check where you can get a tattoo in the game?"
"Good, miss." Lian'er's eyes flashed, and she replied, "Miss, go to the base hospital to find a professional doctor or go to a beauty shop, but the prices in these two places are very expensive, not ordinary." There is also a tattoo artist player who has learned the tailor's professional embroidery branch and turned to tattoo skills! ”
"I'm down! Embroidery and tattoos can be linked, this game designer is really brain-blowing! Murong Feng shook his head and climbed out of the big pit, then discerned the direction and headed north.
Walking in the vast wasteland with the clear starry sky overhead, feeling the cold wind, and listening to the roar of the beast, it is really a different artistic conception. Murong Feng tightened the cloak on his body, let out a mouthful of white mist, and took out a jar of nutrient solution and filled half a bottle in one gulp.
"Miss, why don't you just turn into a locomotive and fly back?" Lian'er shrank into Murong Feng's arms and poked out half of her little head and asked.
"Wouldn't that be too boring, and don't you think the starry sky in the wasteland is beautiful?" Murong Feng was still in the mood to ask with a smile.
Lian'er rolled her eyes when she heard this, and simply retracted her small mouth and drilled into her arms.
Murong Feng didn't directly transform and fly back, in fact, he had other plans. Because she was going to stop by Icewind Dale to collect some colorful ice shoots, and the evening was the peak period for the growth of ice shoots, which was the best time to dig. Of course, this was not a whim of Murong Feng, so he had to run to dig up ice shoots in the middle of the night against the cold wind. It's because I learned in a chat with a jewelry cutting trainer today that colored ice shoots can also be used to polish into rhinestones, which is just right for Murong Feng to replace the scarce gem ore in the market to practice jewelry skills.
I don't know how long I walked, but there was a fire and noise on the ground in front of me. Murong Feng climbed a big tree to take a look, and found that he had walked to the ruins of the Jialan Temple Guild camp.
At this moment, this ruined wall is full of people, showing a busy scene, like a large construction site that has been working overnight. It seems that the Jialan Temple is rushing to rebuild the camp overnight.
Murong Feng turned over and got off the big tree, tightened his hat and blended into the busy camp, found the tavern with half a door left, went to buy a cup of hot milk inside, drank it to warm up his body that was about to freeze, and then packed a pot of honey wine, a spicy hot dog burger, and was about to turn around and leave.
The hotel owner was still the uncle who smiled and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, only to hear him smile at Murong Feng and say, "Why is this guest going out when it's late?" It's not a smart thing to go out into the wild at night! ”
Murong Feng glanced back at the tavern owner, and then noticed that he was an NPC!
【Oak Barrel Hotel Owner Berm】
Health: 300/300
Level: 3
Faction: Neutral
Seeing that the hotel owner smiled very meaningfully at him, Murong Feng's heart jumped, didn't he encounter a hidden task again? Murong Feng now has a big head when he sees the hidden mission, he can't easily change jobs because he was troubled by Lan Xi's hidden mission, and now the streets are full of level 20 players, and he is still a level 10 rookie. This made Murong Feng very depressed about this, so she was respectful of the hidden tasks that others were eager to do.
"Wealth is hidden in risk, didn't we adventurers live a day licking blood from the knife's edge, is there any difference between day and night for us?" Murong Feng chuckled lightly and was about to turn around and leave, without any intention of having an in-depth conversation with the hotel owner.
The tavern owner Bell let out a hearty laugh when he heard this, and then took out a stone from the counter and threw it to Murong Feng.
"This little gadget of young man has been given to you, it can bring you good luck."
Murong Feng raised his hand to catch the stone thrown by the tavern owner, put it in front of him, and was immediately surprised.
【Lucky Hearthstone】
Lucky treasures
Luck +1
Use: Radiates a warm glow that illuminates the surroundings and gives all nearby players +1 luck for 1 hour. (24 hours cooling)
Murong Feng didn't expect that he could get a lucky treasure by casually talking to the tavern owner, and his character was really against the sky. Murong Feng took the Lucky Hearthstone and waved his hand at the tavern owner Bellm, and said, "Thank you for your good luck!" Then he turned and left the tavern.
Looking at Murong Feng's departing figure, the smile on the face of the tavern owner Bell bloomed even brighter.
"It's good to be young!"
"It's like you're old!" An old voice sounded in the corner, it was a very sloppy old man, wearing only a thin linen robe on a cold day, drunken eyes, talking and burping, and his whole body exuded an unpleasant musty smell.
"Ahh When did you damn old guy sneak in? Yes! You're stealing my treasured rum again, damn it, bastard! ”
"Hey, I'm an old man, can't you be polite to me?"
"I'm only polite to gold coins and drunkards! But drunkards with no money are the people I hate the most in my life, and you old man happens to be the latter! ”
"Who said I don't have any money! I brought the money for the drink this time! The old man rummaged through his leaky clothes, took out a pitch-black stone and smashed it on the table, and retorted angrily. The stone that was smashed on the table by the old man is another lucky hearthstone!
"Whoever wants you to break the stone, Lao Tzu has already sent out hundreds of them this week!" Seeing that the old man was holding the wine bottle and refused to let go, Bell was also helpless, looking at the lucky treasure on the table, suddenly a bold idea came up from the bottom of his heart, and instigated, "Old fellow, if you really want to have wine every day, go to the adventurer just now, that little guy is a rich lord at a glance, with your old craftsmanship, you are afraid that people will not provide you like your ancestors?" ”
The old man's eyes flashed with a gleam, he picked up the wine bottle and poured it violently, then stuffed it into his arms, got up and chased it out with a meteor. That's still the drunken look just now.
"Finally coaxed this old drunkard away!" Bell wiped the cold sweat on his head, and felt his heart tremble when he thought of the treasure he had been secretly drinking by this old man these days.
………………………………………………
Out of the camp where he was working on the Jialan Temple day and night, Murong Feng continued all the way to the north, and then turned east, coming to the mouth of the Valley of the Ice Wind, where the cold wind was howling, the snowflakes were fluttering, and it was so cold that there was not even a ghost, and it was really not a place for people to stay.
"Miss, let's go back! This place looks horrible! Lian'er pleaded with half of her little head exposed.
"What time is it?" Murong Feng asked.
Lian'er replied, "At 20:45, it's almost time for Miss to go offline." Madame said you can play games, but you must not go to bed later than 21 o'clock! ”
"Then let's play for another 15 minutes, go offline on time at 21 o'clock, and count as many ice shoots as you can pick!" Murong Feng took out the pot of honey wine and drank a small sip to warm up his body. This kind of honey is made into mead, and it tastes similar to the mash rice wine made by my grandmother, and it is very sweet. However, it is not as mellow as rice wine, and the entrance is very clear and sweet, and the honey fragrance is overflowing. And drinking alcohol in the game also has a special effect.
[System Prompt: You have drunk a pot of honey wine to get a drunken effect.] 】
Drunken effect: Pain sensation is reduced by 1% until sober.
"Is this a game version of the wine that is intimidating?" Putting away the wine bottle, Murong Feng walked into the frozen lake with his feet up, stepping on the thick ice and making a creaking sound, giving people the illusion of walking on thin ice. In fact, the ice here is already more than three or four meters thick, and it is not a problem to drive tanks even on it.
"But Miss, I always feel that something is secretly following us!" Lian'er was worried.
"Oh?!" If it was Lian'er in the real world, Murong Feng would only laugh at it, because no matter how much Lian'er's perception system evolved, it would be impossible for her to evolve the superpower of 'premonition'. But in a game world made up entirely of massive amounts of data, that's a different story. Because abnormal data streams that are undetectable to the player will be detected by Lian'er, the so-called 'Sixth Sense Alert' will be formed.
Now that Lian'er said that something was secretly peeking at them, it was very likely that it was true!
Murong Feng groaned for a moment, then continued to go deeper quietly, and then hid behind a tall clump of ice bamboo shoots and released two scouts to lurk around.
It didn't take long for an observer to send back an alarm, and sure enough, a small yellow dot was sneaking after them.
Murong Feng closed his eyes and slowly pulled out his handcuff, and when the yellow dot entered the spiritual perception range and showed a figure, Murong Feng immediately dodged out with three shots!
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Missed!
Missed!
Missed!
"Ouch!"
Murong Feng suddenly stared at the man with wide eyes, and all three particle beams shot into the air, not that Murong Feng's marksmanship was too poor, but that the man slipped under his feet first and fell first.
"Who are you? Why follow me? Murong Feng stood ten steps away with a handcuff and pointed at the man and asked.
"Ouch, young man, come and help me, my waist is flashed, ouch, it hurts me to death!" The man lay on the ground and wailed, but unfortunately Murong Feng was not moved, and directly fired a shot into the other party's ear!
Murong Feng was stunned again, she was obviously aiming at the other party's eyebrows just now, how close was the distance, how could she miss again?! It's also so weird!
"Ahhh Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm a good person, I really don't have any malice! The man struggled to his feet, raising his hands to show no hostility.
"And who are you? If you don't go to sleep in the middle of the night, why do you follow me? You only have three seconds to answer, three"
"Huh! I'm an astrologer and a celestial, but I prefer to be called an astrologer! The man stepped out of the shadows of the clouds and revealed his true face, a sloppy and embarrassed look, his gray beard tangled together, as if he had not been washed for a long time. With only a thin linen robe on his body, Murong Feng was very suspicious of how this old man had survived in the cold weather.
After seeing the old man's name and title, Murong Feng also put away his weapon, because the other party was indeed not a combat profession, and he was also a neutral NPC.
['Astrologer' Astaran]
Health: 1000/1000
Grade: 10
Faction: Neutral
"Then why are you following me?" Murong Feng's tone slowed down a lot and asked.
"I think I want to get a job with you." Old Astaran said with a blushing face.
"Huh?!" It was the first time that Murong Feng had encountered an NPC who took the initiative to join her, and it was in such a weird scene.
Seeing that he had not gained Murong Feng's trust, Astaran hurriedly moved out the tavern owner Bell, saying that he had introduced himself to Murong Feng.
Murong Feng rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't figure out the truth for a while, and when he looked at the old man who was trembling, he couldn't bear to ask, "Then what kind of craftsmanship do you know?" ”
Seeing that his future employer asked him about his profession, Astaran immediately held his head high and proudly said, "I am a scholar and an astrologer, proficient in astrology, luck and magic. ”
What's this!? Murong Feng suddenly looked dazed, when did the 'fortune telling' appear in the game, how strange is it? If it weren't for the fact that the other party was indeed holding the title of an astrologer, Murong Feng would have almost thought that he had met a liar.
"Then you can help me calculate a hexagram to see if I have any luck tonight?" Murong Feng pouted.
Astaran's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and he was embarrassed, "Tonight the dark clouds cover the top, the stars and the moon are dark, it is obviously a great evil, the old man thinks that we should go back to the camp first, order a glass of wine and talk slowly." ”
"Well, what else would you do besides fortune telling?" Murong Feng said impatiently, "What kind of skills are luck and enchantment?" "Murong Feng guessed in his heart that this lucky technique should be the same as the 'Radiance of the Moon God' that he had just obtained, it was a skill with additional buff attributes.
In fact, Murong Feng didn't know that it was because she was bathed in miracles tonight, and her whole body was shrouded in a lucky aura, and when she passed by the tavern, she happened to trigger the recruitment system, so that the old man in front of her took the initiative to find her. Otherwise, even if Murong Feng was hanging around the old man for a long time, maybe people wouldn't pay attention to her.
And the tavern owner's distribution of lucky Hearthstones is actually a hidden clue signal from players who have always passed by, but it is a pity that the players of the Jialan Temple are busy rebuilding the camp, and no one has found out why the tavern owner suddenly has such an abnormal behavior, which has cheapened Murong Feng, an outsider, for nothing.
Astaran first showed a good-natured smile to show that he had no malicious intent, then closed his eyes and muttered words in his mouth, his hands slowly folded, and his face was reverent, like a god's stick. It remained like this for about ten seconds, and then spread out his hands forward, and a ball of silver light rose in his palm.
Murong Feng was illuminated by the light, and immediately obtained the temporary effect of 'Lucky +20', and it lasted all day, which was more than her 'Lunar God's Radiance' Niu X!
"Oh, cake seller! This is the encounter with the great god! "This lucky technique alone is completely worthy of Murong Feng's temptation at any cost. Kidnap this old man!
At this time, I saw Astaran push the ball of light in his hand towards an ice shoot, and I saw that the ball of light slowly merged into this ordinary transparent ice shoot, and then the whole ice shoot turned into a silver light, and the end was magical.
Astaran looked out of breath after fusing the ball of light into the ice shoots, and it was obvious that these two skills had consumed a lot of his strength, and the whole person looked trembling. However, even so, he still beckoned Murong Feng with joy on his face to check the silver glittering ice bamboo shoot.
Murong Feng leaned over to take a look, and suddenly his eyes widened in disbelief!
【Lucky Crystal】
Lucky treasures
Luck +2
Use: Radiates a bright glow that illuminates the surroundings and gives all nearby players +2 luck for 2 hours. (24 hours cooling)
Murong Feng directly reached out and broke off the entire ice bamboo shoot, and then stuffed it directly into his bag, and when he turned his head to look at the old man, his face was already full of smiles, but this smile was a little frightening.
"Fortune teller, ahem, Mr. Astaran, how about we talk about treatment now?"
Astaran was already shivering from the cold, so he could only nod his head and tremble, "I think let's go back and talk about it first, my destiny is losing its brilliance, if you stay in this hellish place any longer, what you have to consider is not my treatment, but my funeral!" ”
"Oh, okay, we'll go back right away." Murong Feng was very considerate and took off the cloak to cover the old man's body, moving him to tears. Murong Feng's face exuded the brilliance of the Holy Mother, but he muttered in his heart, "This old man is a treasure, he must be watched closely, and he must not be allowed to slip away!" ”
Not long after the two of them left the valley, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight shone on the frozen lake, only to see a huge black shadow slowly swimming under the ice
