Chapter 24: New Side Quests
"What's wrong, Yu-san? Ino is seriously injured, so I can't do it if I don't get medical treatment. ”
Seeing Yuu stop in front of him with an expressionless face, a hint of distress appeared in Roentgen's smile.
Not only Chu Ge, but even the other students were clearly aware of the irritability on his face.
Rather a rare appearance, but considering Röntgen's previous enthusiastic attitude towards himself and others, it is not surprising that he would show such a look—the other students understood.
"It really hurts so much that I can't stand it, so you can help me."
Chu Ge smiled and pulled You, shook his fingers at the girl's palm quietly, and then said to Roentgen:
"Can this kind of injury recover in a short time? Then please. ”
After getting Chu Ge's prompt, Yu glanced at Roentgen lightly, and then moved out of the way and helped Chu Ge to slowly sit on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Röntgen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Chu Ge briefly before approaching, squatting down while taking out his tools, and said with a smile:
"I can't talk about it in a short period of time, after all, your injury is a bit serious, but it can definitely shorten your recovery period a lot...... Hawkers, although I boast that it is a special drug, the quality may not be as good as you think. ”
"Anyway, thanks."
Compared with Chu Ge, the injuries of the others were much more ordinary, although they were all serious injuries, none of the fatal wounds appeared, so Chu Ge was the first to be treated.
In terms of treatment techniques, Röntgen had a substantial gap with Lina, the school doctor of the National Academy, but his methods were still not ambiguous, and he quickly treated Chu Ge's wounds.
"Whew~ Bandaged, now drink these two bottles, no, these three bottles of medicine, you will feel a lot better, I am going to treat other people now."
After wiping a handful of beads of sweat that appeared slightly on his forehead, Röntgen left three bottles of potion in front of Chu Ge, and walked towards the other wounded without looking back.
And the afterglow of his gaze was as if it was distorted against the edge of his eye socket, watching Chu Ge's every movement closely.
Until, Chu Ge drank all the blue elixir without a drop left.
"How......
After watching Chu Ge drink the first bottle of "special medicine", You's face was as usual, but there was still a forced and suppressed worry in his voice.
Chu Ge flicked the small glass bottle, and there was a crisp echo from the solid wall of the bottle.
After receiving the prompt sound from Noah, an unexpected smile appeared on his face:
"Effect...... That's good. ”
"Hint: Potent special agent ingestion ...... Unknown anomalies appear. ”
"Warning: The host is invaded by unknown energy, and the constitution attribute is exempted, and the constitution attribute is being calculated...... If the Constitution attribute is lower than 15 points, the depth exemption judgment fails! ”
"Warning: Constitution attribute exemption is being determined...... If the constitution attribute is lower than 8 points, the secondary degree exemption judgment fails! ”
"Hint: Negative Curse [Yadan's Fall] is implanted in ......"
"Warning: Unknown ability takes effect, host data information is disordered, data recalculation is in progress...... [Yadan's Fall] implantation fails!"
"Hint: The host's health is restored to 20, and some injuries are healed."
He has now gained some of the power of the enemy of the living beings, although it is still far from those who ignore the malicious pollution of the ancient gods and fight against the high-level alien beasts for many years, but he must still have some resistance to this kind of thing.
Just as he drank the first vial, something in the blue liquid instinctively swam towards the sin mark on the back of his right hand, as if guided by it.
However, just as the substance was slightly closer to Nervemore's heart, it suddenly shuddered strangely, as if it had been captured by a beast, and deviated from its original trajectory and merged into Nervenmore's heart.
'Devouring the blood of the old gods......? In essence, it makes sense, after all, it exists for this purpose, but did the heart of Nyvenmore in the previous life have this effect? ’
Chu Ge was a little puzzled by this, in his previous life, when he faced the ancient gods, he had no ability to resist malice.
After thinking about it, I can only attribute it to the authority effect of this equipment.
However, when he drank the second bottle of blue potion, Chu Ge specially suppressed the operation of Nevenmore's heart, so that the trace of ancient god blood was not devoured by it, but smoothly entered the back of his hand.
No one saw that after that gray glimmer, the mark of sin on the Chu singer quietly flickered.
“……”
"Hint: The host's health is restored to 20, and some injuries are healed."
"Hint: Mystic Energy Transformation, [Sinful Power] Brand Enhanced, Host Active Ability [Nightmare Marker] proficiency increased!"
In addition to the hint of failing to determine the constitution attribute and recovering his life, Chu Ge also gained 1 [Nightmare Mark] proficiency from this blue potion.
'If he uses up all the potions he carries, he might be able to raise the Nightmare Mark to a decent level......
After tasting the sweetness, Chu Ge's gaze couldn't help but drift a little, he drank the last bottle of potion, and gained 20 health recovery points and 1 nightmare mark proficiency.
What made him a little concerned was that among the wounded who had already used the "special medicine" once, some Roentgen took out a second bottle of blue liquid for them, and some didn't, and Chu Ge couldn't find any obvious difference between the two.
'The dosage of the solution...... Are there any special criteria? ’
After treating the new students, Roentgen shifted his focus to the two leading teachers.
Although he successfully killed the two mid-third-order monsters, the leading teacher also suffered some minor injuries.
Under the hospitality of Roentgen, and their own curiosity about the so-called "special medicine", they disrespectfully drank the liquid.
During the short recuperation, Röntgen walked over again, he wiped the blood on his hands, and asked Chu Ge with a smile:
"Have you drunk it all? Looks like you're recovering well. ”
Chu Ge lifted his left shoulder vigorously, and after finding that it did not affect his movements, he replied with a smile:
"Well, thank you for the potion, it works really well...... By the way, if you can, can you give me a few more bottles as a backup? ”
"I'm sorry, but this is a professional secret recipe, and the problem of metabolites of this medicine has not been solved, and if you use it many times in a short period of time, your body will be very uncomfortable...... Ha, even if it turns into a monster directly, it's not necessarily. ”
As if in a good mood, Röntgen said something superfluous in a joking tone.
"Do you turn into a monster......
Chu Ge smiled and gently touched the back of his right hand, and the vigilance in the depths of You's eyes had turned into killing intent.
******
Although the crowd was delayed by the attack of the red-clawed velociraptor for a long time, the time it took to reach the final destination was still the least.
It's a strange place where the elements are disturbed.
Stone pillars, burning ground, frozen ponds, withered shrubs...... Just by looking at it from the outside, you can feel the strangeness of the scenery in front of you.
"This is the upside-down area on the third floor of the Olari Labyrinth, which was supposed to be a one-off secret realm, but it was used and built by the academy so that new students can benefit from it every year."
A leading teacher pointed to the area not far ahead, and said,
"The various elements inside are rich and chaotic, so no monsters will want to set foot in it, and it is usually just a wasteland with a harsh environment, and even adventurers are not willing to go deeper."
"In order to reward the new students with outstanding strength, the academy will send teachers to the depths of this wasteland in advance every year, and use special rule runes to temporarily change the nature of this area, transforming the chaotic elements that have accumulated for a year, and many low-level elemental spirits have been created as a result - and at the same time, a time-sensitive magic circle that is forbidden to pass through has also been set up."
"Because of the nature of the Inverted Zone, after killing the Elemental Elves, you can plunder a small number of affinity elements in their bodies and increase their elemental affinity...... Of course, there is no such gain from killing humans. ”
After saying this, the teacher glanced at everyone with an intriguing gaze, and his tone was not only not a warning against infighting, but more like a hint that some kind of restriction had been lifted, while the other teacher said:
"New students with only the entry rune engraved on the ribbon will be able to pass through this improvised circle, and we will wait outside, and the reward time will be four hours in total, counting from the moment of entry."
"There is a cap on the amount of elemental boost that can be obtained through looting, and each person's loot cap is related to their own characteristics...... However, the average number of Elemental Elves in this area is not large, and it is difficult to find them and reach the kill limit. ”
"This area is divided into eight irregular parts, corresponding to eight different elemental spirits, only the outermost part will appear in the scene of intertwined elements, a little deeper you will find the difference between the different areas."
After a pause, the teacher sent the map divided into different attribute areas to everyone, and his expression began to become serious.
"I need to remind you that the strength of each elemental spirit is almost in the middle of the second order, but when it reaches the deepest depth, there will inevitably be an enhanced elemental spirit in each area!"
"The strength of the enhanced type has the early stage of the third order, although the elements plundered after killing are more abundant, but if there is no misanthropy, I advise you not to take the initiative to provoke, their danger level is completely different from the previous velociraptor concept!"
At this time, he also deliberately glanced at Chu Ge, as if to warn him not to be arrogant.
"Now, go and look for areas related to your own attributes, remember that only those who attack the elemental elves in the first place will plunder the affinity attributes, and even if others participate in the attack, they will not be rewarded...... Unless the person who attacked first is dead. ”
"If you can discuss the distribution and then work together, you may be able to make unexpected progress...... Hopefully this is more than just a beautiful imagination. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the students rushed out like arrows from the strings, even Roentgenium, running towards the chaotic area, as if he was expecting something inside.
The only people left behind were Chu Ge and You.
"Your elemental is a dark attribute affinity, let's go find that area and take a look first."
Without asking Chu Ge's opinion, Yu stepped forward like this.
It's really unbearable kindness, but it's such a stubborn girl in her heart.
Chu Ge shook his head and sighed, revealing a soft smile, hurried up, and said:
"Don't you still have to go to Aya to ask for clarification, obviously there is such a good opportunity to improve your strength, and you can really spare no effort to help me like this?"
"If you slack off any longer, not only will Aya be pulled farther and farther away, but even I will catch up and overtake you in one go."
After hearing Chu Ge's words, Youton stopped, her mood was a little low, and her gaze hidden under the sharp hat had a faint look of pleading, but she still said:
"And what about your injuries, does it really matter?"
"It's a piece of cake, I'm going to check your results when the reward is over, don't be lazy."
In order not to let Yu continue to bother, after Chu Ge finished speaking, he ran directly towards the east of the upside-down area, with the blessing of powerful equipment and skill attributes, his speed was almost twice as fast as that of other students!
To be honest, if he could, he did want to have a reward trial with Yuu, whether it was considering the efficiency of the battle or the mood of the girl, he had such intentions.
It's a pity that the wind elemental area and the dark elemental area are at the two poles of the map, not to mention the danger of passing through multiple areas in a row, the time required on the road alone is not a small number.
The time for the reward was only four hours, and no matter who he helped to loot the elemental first, the other person would not be able to get the reward, which was undeniable, and he would have made the decision he had just made with this in mind.
And the moment he stepped into the upside-down zone, a mechanical synthesized sound suddenly came from Noah:
"Hint: Collaborator 0701 triggers the bounty mission, (Task difficulty B-)!"
"Description: As an adventurer's paradise, the Great Labyrinth of Olari has an unrivaled allure that can present wealth – and danger – even in the middle of nowhere."
"Objective: Kill the Enhanced Elemental Elves in the depths of each area during the National Academy Reward Trials. For each kill, you will receive a bounty from Noah. ”
"Quest Completion: [Flame Herrick (0/1)], corresponding to a bounty of 150 universal gold coins/1 SP value (choose one of the two)."
"Quest completion: [Revenant Merkel (0/1)], corresponding to a bounty of 160 universal gold coins / 1 SP value (choose one of the two)."
"Mission completion: [Stasis Aquilis (0/1)], corresponding to a bounty of 250 universal gold coins / 1 SP value (choose one of two)."
"Mission completion: [Aurora Grayling (0/1)], corresponding to a bounty of 140 universal gold coins/1 SP value (choose one of the two)."
“……”
"Quest Hint: For each additional Enhanced Elemental Spirit killed, your total reward will be increased by an additional 5%, and after all eight are killed, the total reward will be increased by 20% again!"
"Mission Tip: There is no penalty for failing this mission."
Each of them has the strength of the early stage of the third order, and they are also elemental spirits...... Isn't that forcing me to die?
Seeing the description of the task, Chu Ge couldn't help but let out a wry smile in his heart.
