Chapter 40: The Roadside Hotel
Green looked up in confusion, only to see a petite figure running down the road, the back did not look very old, and Green's magic book was obviously snatched by him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bastard! How dare you rob me!?
Green is furious! Without saying a word, he took out his gun magic and shot directly at the thief!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
It's a pity that it didn't hit.
The thief was so fast that he had disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Green had a crying and laughing expression on his face: "This ...... This Nima! What's going on!? ”
This situation was completely unexpected by Green, who had no idea that he would encounter the legendary "Flying Car Robbery". In a game, this will never happen to the player.
Since the equipment on the player's body is basically projection equipment (commonly known as: replica), it will disappear soon after losing contact with the player, so as long as it is an NPC with a normal head, it will not come to rob the player, after all, the gain is zero and it will be entangled by a group of guys with abnormal brains (at least in the eyes of NPCs, the player's brain is absolutely abnormal), so few NPCs will take the initiative to provoke the player.
But now that Green has crossed over, in a sense, Green's current identity is no different from that of an NPC, so Green will encounter some problems that only NPCs will encounter - such as robbery and stealing.
"Green, what's going on?" Sakia stepped out of the jungle and nervously scanned her surroundings.
"It's okay, it's just that the spell book was snatched away." Green waved his hand, "Think of it as paying for a lesson." This sudden incident once again sounded the alarm bell for Green: he is no longer the player in the game (the fan of time), and he can't think completely with the player's mind, and he has to be more vigilant around him.
It wasn't long before Mitchell emerged from the jungle as well.
"What did I hear just now, did something happen?" Mitchell asked weakly.
"I met a robber and snatched my spell book."
"What!?" Mitchell looked nervous, "So what should I do?" ”
"If you are robbed, you will be robbed." It's just a lowest-level spell book, and it won't make Green feel distressed, "Just pay attention to it in the future." ”
Grimm isn't as eager for spells right now. The glitter and water-making spells had already been learned, and the other spells weren't so urgent for Grimm, who had gun magic.
"Senior, you're really calm." Mitchell looked at Green with the eyes of a local tyrant.
Mana is like a special kind of radiation that can seriously affect the stability of objects, so ordinary paper cannot be used to transcribe spells. The notebooks that could be used to transcribe spells were all custom-made, and the cost of even the lowest-level spell books would probably not be less than ten gold coins - and that was not counting the value of the spell knowledge in the notes. In Mitchell's opinion, if he had been robbed of such an expensive item, he would definitely not be so calm.
"Let's keep going." Green didn't want to dwell on the subject.
Soon, Green put what had happened behind him, and the group continued to walk with their heads buried in their heads.
After a long, boring, and boring journey, Green and his party came across a wilderness inn called "Nature's House".
It was a lodge nestled in a bush of plants, the whole inn was made entirely of huge green vines, and the entrance to the inn was two huge leaves, which looked like a fairy tale goblin hut, and no one would have thought of it as a hotel if it weren't for the sign of the inn and the sign of the goddess of the forest.
In addition, there are many plants planted outside the inn, including a three-person tall man-eating flower that makes people feel dangerous at first glance, and vines full of stingers are scattered throughout the garden, leaving only a path for people to enter and exit the hotel, and at the entrance of the path there is a sign with the phrase "Do not harm the surrounding plants" in several languages.
"W-This is actually a hotel?" Mitchell looked at the house in front of her in amazement. Mitchell had never seen such a special house!
Green: "Let's rest at this hotel for the night, and then we'll continue our journey until tomorrow." ”
"But it's still early. It's still a few hours before sunset. Although Mitchell was also very curious about the special hotel in front of her, and wanted to go inside, reason prevented her from doing so.
"It's a long walk to Capper Harbour from here. At the pace of our walking, if we missed the hostel, we would have to camp in the wilderness. It's not the first time Green has been to the Nature House, and he knows a lot about the area. Unless your group plans to travel overnight or camp in the wilderness, you can only rest here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning.
"But it's still so early...... "The girl still seemed a little worried.
"The focus is on the rest of the journey, not on the time until night. It's important for travelers to plan their itinerary wisely. Green glanced at Mitchell, "It's not a small risk to camp in the wild, I don't think you have forgotten how that pseudo-girl was attacked by a blood bat last night, right?" ”
Mitchell shuddered! Although adventurers are often accompanied by death, it is somewhat difficult for Mitchell to accept the appearance of being sucked into a dry corpse like a pseudo-girl.
"How can that be avoided?" Mitchell couldn't help but ask, "When you go out, you will always encounter wild camping." ”
"Tents, caves, altars, campfires, can dispel the invisible killers that lurk in the darkness." "The most dangerous thing in the forest at night is not the dragons or the goblins, but the snakes, ants, and mosquitoes that seem to be no threat during the day!" For example, if the pseudo-lady had brought a torch last night, the blood bat would not have dared to sneak attack him, and it would have been impossible to sneak attack him. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we can stay in a hotel, so why camp in the wild? ”
"I see." Mitchell looked solemn.
"Okay, no more gossiping. Let's go. With that, Green walked in the direction of the hotel.
Mitchell: But ......"
"What else?" Green turned his head in confusion, "You just want to camp in the wilderness so much?" ”
"It would cost you a lot of money to stay in a hotel, right?" Mitchell said weakly, "Why don't you ...... We're still camping in the wild, right? ”
Green blinked, "Sorry, I forgot to consider your financial situation." ”
Mitchell's face flushed and seemed embarrassed.
The income of high-level adventurers is not low, but the vast majority of low-level adventurers can only fight on the subsistence line, and even if they occasionally make a fortune, they will soon have to invest in the purchase and upgrading of equipment. As a newcomer, Mitchell's financial situation is obviously not too good.
"Hmm~" Green lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You are also a member of our team now, and the room and board expenses will be deducted from the team's public activity funds." ”
Mitchell blinked: "Public event funding? What is that? ”
"It's literal. When a team member acts together, there will inevitably be some collective costs, such as food and lodging, information purchase, hiring guides, etc., which obviously cannot be paid by the team members individually, so each team will have a public fund to cover these collective costs. Green paused, "By the way, our squad's public funding is currently zero and will soon become negative. ”
Mitchell: "And where does the public money come from?" Is it a joint fundraising by team members? ”
"It's okay to do that, but more often than not, a portion of the bounty goes into public funds after completing a group task."
"I see."
"If it's okay, then let's go inside."
At Green's request, Mitchell finally gave up her opinion and obediently obeyed the arrangement.
But at this moment, Saqia suddenly stepped forward and stopped Green: "Danger! Can't pass! ”
