Chapter 12: Temptation

Chu Nan chose a dirt house in the most corner, and the village chief Robertson walked to the door with two large wooden barrels, and a somewhat rusty key came out of his waist, which actually floated out of thin air and accurately inserted into the door lock hole.

There was a click, and the door opened without touching the key.

This performance like a magic trick of the mind made An Ruoxuan couldn't help but exclaim, and Chu Nan also sank in his heart.

If you want to use it alone without affecting the elements, and cast it so delicately, not only does it require a high quality of magical energy, but it is also a test of the caster's own strength.

Chu Nan asked tentatively, "Village Chief Robertson, you won't be a sixth-order master, will you?" ”

During the closed beta period, among the 1,000 players, the group of people at the top of the rankings stopped at the early stage of the fifth order, and Chu Nan dared to guarantee that they would not be able to easily make such delicate magical energy control.

"Haha."

Chief Robertson just smiled, did not answer the question directly, and after putting two large wooden barrels full of water into the house, Chief Robertson said:

"Okay, you guys should rest first, it's best to wash your body, although it's a waste of water, if you have skill books or equipment that need to be purchased from me, remember to prepare gold coins, I'll go first."

After leading Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan into the door, Village Chief Robertson had no intention of lingering, and left directly after throwing the door key to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan looked carefully into the room.

The house is very small, about thirty square meters.

The facilities inside are also very simple, a double wooden bed with futon and pillows, a small table with two chairs, and a cubicle, similar to a bathroom.

The surrounding walls are not painted in the slightest, and they look like rural mud houses from the last century that can only be seen in pictures.

"Hey, it looks like we're going to be living in this place for a while."

Chu Nan muttered and walked to the wooden barrel full of water, opened the lid, and said: "The price of water in the village is very high, don't waste it, it's too luxurious to take a bath or something, but it's ......"

Chu Nan stared at An Ruoxuan, who was already like a little beggar, and said with a smile: "This time you are allowed to use half a bucket of water, although you can't take a bath or shower like on the earth, but it's no problem to wash your body clean." ”

An Ruoxuan lowered her head unconsciously.

Women are born to love beauty, and after three days of wilderness life, An Ruoxuan knows that her current image can be said to be unsightly, with a lot of dust and mud on her body, and she is uncomfortable, and she has long wanted to take a comfortable bath.

Chu Nan said and walked to the door: "You wash, I'll go out." ”

An Ruoxuan was anxious: "Wait, Chu Nan, don't you wash?" ”

Chu Nan: "What, do you want to wash with me?" ”

An Ruoxuan was stunned: "No, it's not ......"

Chu Nan: 'I'm afraid you'll be shy in the house, you can wash it first, give you half an hour is enough, right?' ’

An Ruoxuan: "That's enough. ”

Chu Nan: "By the way, give me the money." ”

"Oh......"

An Ruoxuan took out a shiny gold coin from the storage ring and handed it to Chu Nan.

The days of the two in the wilderness can be regarded as having experienced many twists and turns, several life and death crises, and the trust between them is extremely strong.

The gold coin that Chu Nan asked for was naturally the reward for the previous task of "reaching the wilderness". An Ruoxuan had already thought that Chu Nan was going to buy something, so she happily took it out.

After Chu Nan went out, An Ruoxuan pouted, tried to drag the wooden bucket to the bathroom, and began to remove her clothes......

————

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Nan appeared in front of the house of the village chief Robertson.

Village Chief Robertson looked at Chu Nan, who had no dust on his body and even his clothes were exceptionally neat, and asked, "Oh my God, you won't use both buckets of water for bathing, and you have washed your clothes?" Oh! You're such an extravagant lad, no, do you have a talent for fire? And then extravagantly use that pitiful magic energy to dry clothes? ”

Chu Nan pouted: "Village Chief Robertson, please don't think so exaggeratedly, I just committed suicide." ”

Village Chief Robertson: "......."

Resurrection after death will allow the player to be free from previous negative statuses, including dirt on their clothes.

The price of water in the village is so expensive, how could Chu Nan spend money on such a place.

Chu Nan's answer gave Chief Robertson a thumbs up.

It's one thing to be resurrected, it's one thing to die, it's real death, at least in terms of the feeling of pain.

"It's cruel enough to yourself."

The village chief Robertson commented and asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Chu Nan: "I have a question I want to ask before I buy it." ”

Village Chief Robertson: "You say." ”

Chu Nan: "You said that there was a meeting of the players in the village before, in addition to explaining the novice period and returning to the earth to rest, there should be more, right?" ”

Village Chief Robertson: "There are quite a few, but for players like you who can come to the village alive, it is basically of no help, oh, there are two points, that is, when your strength reaches the peak of the first order, you can leave the village." ”

Chu Nan: "Leaving the village? Where to? ”

Village Chief Robertson: "A small town has more resources and better functionality than a village. Of course, there are higher gathering places after the town, the capital, the royal city, and the imperial capital, all of which need to reach a certain level of strength before they can enter. ”

Chu Nan frowned: "In this way, the game mode of the Continent of the Gods is an adventure class divided by the level of safety?" It's a game of life, and I don't think that many people would be willing to gamble on their lives because it's better and safer. ”

Robertson Village Chief: "Don't worry, yes, every life with a mind will have the desire to return to the earth with the ability obtained from the Continent of the Gods, this is the biggest temptation, even if you are afraid of losing your life and choose to fall into the fate of God, the gods will not let you eat so comfortably and wait for death." ”

Chu Nan: "Who are the gods?" ”

Village Chief Robertson: "It's pretty much the system you call it, okay, that's the end of this problem, and the other point, although all of your players have 2 initial death privileges, as long as the level is raised by one level, the amount of death privileges will increase by 1 time. ”

"One level, one more? That is to say, if the strength is raised to the ninth order, it will accumulate ten death permissions? ”

Chu Nan's heart sank.

Just from the information revealed by the village chief Robertson, Chu Nan already knew that the system, or the gods, had arranged a path that all players had to participate in.

And, looking at it this way, the starting point of this road is the edge of a cliff.

The system will cause the road to gradually collapse, and if you don't run hard, you will fall into a cliff.

As for the system or the gods, what kind of existence is it, Chu Nan doesn't want to spend brain cells thinking about it for the time being, it's too far away.

What needs to be done now is to think about how to live.

Although according to what Village Chief Robertson said, death authority can be increased every time you raise one order, but how terrifying the Continent of the Gods is, Chu Nan has experienced it personally.

He had forgotten how many times he had died during the closed beta period, and many times he would encounter a super monster whose strength could not be shaken at all, and then die.

In any case, the next first goal must be to raise the level to the middle of the first order in the only four days left.

The devil knows when the next time I'll get a chance to return to Earth.

Besides, during the recuperation period, it doesn't seem that there is much benefit from staying in the Continent of the Gods.

Then skills and equipment need to be purchased.

Chief Robertson gave a list of skills, equipment, and medicines.

The village chief is still very rich in things that can be purchased here.

In addition to the undead system, there are countless first-order ordinary skills in each department, and there are as many as eleven fire magic alone.

However, there are no Arcane-level skills for sale.

Chu Nan didn't dare to ask, because it would involve the information of the closed beta.

Of course, the first-order Arcane level skill, Chu Nan has never seen it from beginning to end, so it is not too thoughtful.

The price of skill books varies depending on their functionality.

For example, the Wind Blade, the most powerful of the first-order wind fighting skills, sells for one gold coin!

Chu Nan took a special look at the beast trainer's exclusive skill: Warcraft Contract, which costs ten gold coins!

This made Chu Nan call him a pit father.

However, An Ruoxuan is sure that she will become a beast trainer, and it seems that there will be one more goal in the short term.

Chu Nan currently has more than three gold coins in his hand.

Spent 1 gold and 2 silver coins to purchase three skill books:

"Scorching Slash", "Dark Corrosion", "Swiftness".

In addition, it was equipped with a machete, a short sword, and two sets of leather armor, which cost a total of one gold and five silver coins.

They are all ordinary-level skill books and equipment, but they are sold so expensive, Chu Nan's heart is dripping blood.

In this way, Chu Nan changed from a local tyrant to a well-off.

Chu Nan held the equipment and left amid the exclamations and discussions of the surrounding players, and the shouts of the village chief Robertson came from behind him:

"Guests come often!"
