The one who invited the epic to the birthday dinner was the city lord of Phoenix City in Wu Kingdom.

There are eight countries in the continent of Zhengtu, Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qin, and Wu, and the lord of a country is called "king"! King of Qi, King of Chu, King of Yan, King of Zhao, King of Han, King of Wei, King of Qin, King of Wu. At present, the kings of the eight countries are all NPCs, but I heard that after the player's guild grows, it can start a national war, and the guild leader who occupies the royal city will replace the NPC and become the new king!

The Eight Kingdoms have been fighting endlessly for years in order to compete for the honor of the Emperor on the continent of the journey, which is higher than that of the monarch! Whoever becomes the emperor is the master of the entire Journey Continent and has the supreme right!

Now the emperor has not yet been decided, so the eight major countries are in flames!

Of course, Wu Hao is only the city lord of Phoenix City, and the battle for the emperor has nothing to do with him!

The birthday dinner was held at the City Lord's Mansion in Phoenix, and Epic was surprised to find that among the invited guests, there were actually three or four player characters in addition to himself, and the rest were naturally NPCs.

Players and NPCs are easily recognizable, and they can be clearly distinguished from each other in terms of clothing and the names on their heads.

She saw other players, but the other players didn't notice her, and the benefits of wearing a masked scarf are self-evident, impersonating an NPC is still very effective!

Listening to the conversation between several of them, it is obvious that they are also VIP member nutrition warehouse users. I came here because I opened a [birthday invitation] from the welfare package.

Waiting is boring, so several players simply get together and chat.

"Hey, do you have any presents?"

"What gift?"

"A birthday present for the lord of the castle! Otherwise, what are you doing here? ”

"Do you want a birthday present?"

"Of course it's okay if you don't prepare! As long as you're not afraid of wasting this invitation in vain. ”

"What do you mean?"

Everyone looked at the one who asked the question, confused. Pretending to be an NPC's epic, he also eavesdropped silently on the side.

"This [Birthday Invitation] is an adventure quest, and it can only be opened from VIP member benefit packs, and the chance is only 1 in 1,000! Someone in our guild attended the birthday party on the first day of the service, and after the banquet began, there was a congratulatory event. The man didn't know how to give a gift, so he didn't prepare, and he had a good face, so he took the [exquisite] quality gold necklace that burst out when he fought the monster as a gift. Who knew that the city lord directly returned the thank you gift, and it turned out to be an iron sword of [excellent] quality! Later, a few wealthy members got this adventure mission, and after hearing about this person's experience, they prepared more valuable gifts. So they were all developed! In fact, this adventure task is to determine the reward based on your congratulatory gift, but I did everything to acquire a [Excellent] level of clothing, if I am lucky, the return gift is likely to be the best of [Legendary] quality, or even [Epic] quality......"

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you for? But the dinner has already begun, and you won't have time to prepare. What a pity! If you want to know if what I'm saying is true or not, just look at it for a while! The man was triumphant, apparently showing off.

"Is it okay to send gold coins directly?"

"Seems to work!"

"Then I'll send gold coins!"

"Fortunately, I have a piece of [exquisite] quality equipment on me, if I can exchange it for [excellent], it won't be a loss!"

"Depressed~~ Is it too late to go to the Phoenix market now?"

"Ask a friend to send something over, there should be enough time, right?"

……

Several players were skeptical, but they all panicked and congratulated them, after all, no one wants to miss the opportunity to regret it, right?

The epic is also skeptical, but there is no hurry at all. She can take out expensive congratulatory gifts casually, but I don't know if the return gift is really so generous......

I don't know how long I waited in the spacious mansion, but the epic felt that the air was very scarce in a crowded environment.

The protagonist of the birthday dinner is long overdue. It was pitch black and starry outside, and after hanging all kinds of lanterns inside and outside the mansion, Wu Hao, the city lord of Phoenix City in Wu Kingdom, finally appeared at the venue under the protection of a row of soldiers.

"See the lord of the castle!!" Those who knelt down instantly with a "hula" were naturally NPC guests. And standing out from the crowd, still standing and watching the excitement, needless to say, are all players.

Of course, Epic didn't kneel, but the NPCs didn't care. All kinds of strange behaviors of "adventurers" are normal in their eyes!

Wu Hao naturally didn't care, he smiled and waved his hand: "Get up!" Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Wu's birthday dinner, Wu is very honored! ”

"The host is seated, the guest is present!!" A scribe dressed beside him shouted.

"Hey! It's started~~" The player who knew about this link whispered to the other people.

The epic mingled in the crowd, staring intently at the location of the city lord. She wanted to know if what the player had just said was true.

"The owner of the Hundred Refining Workshop congratulates the city lord on his birthday and presents a [Hundred Refining Wrought Iron Knife]!"

The first thing to do was the NPC Offering, and there were already soldiers who had begun to maintain order, allowing the guests to line up and step forward in order. It's so troublesome to give a gift, and the epic is also drunk!

"I wish the city lord a long life and good health!" After offering the gift, the owner of the Hundred Refining Workshop said a congratulatory message by the way.

"Good!" City Lord Wu Hao nodded, and a soldier next to him immediately helped take the gift, "Give it back!" ”

"The master gave back a [I Ching Bone Strengthening Pill]!"

"Thank you, City Lord! Thank you, Castle Lord!! The owner of the Bailian Workshop was overjoyed, and he was so happy that he almost couldn't find the north after receiving the gift.

Epic doesn't know what this [I Ching Bone Strengthening Pill] is, but looking at the expression of this NPC boss, it must be a good thing!

"The boss of Shenglian Fang congratulates the city lord on his birthday and presents a pair of [Step Shake Golden Wing Boots]!"

"The host gave back a [Snow Mountain Ginseng]!"

"The boss of the Rejuvenation Hall congratulates the city lord on his birthday and offers a bottle of [Returning God Pill]!"

"The master will give back a piece of [Nourishing Qi and Strengthening Blood Dispersion Formula]!"

"The head-catcher Wang Wu congratulates the city lord on his birthday and presents a [white tiger skin]!"

"The master will give back a copy of the [Magic Sword] cheatbook!"

……

One by one, NPCs stepped forward to give gifts, and sure enough, the higher the value of the birthday gift, the more precious the gift will be! Although the rebate gift is random, there is a greater chance of getting a variety of quality drug formulas when you offer medicines; If you donate equipment, you also have a higher chance of getting a variety of better quality equipment. This should be a small rule!

So what should I give? Epic thought secretly, reaching out and touching a few special rings on his hand. If I give these special rings as gifts, is it possible to get an artifact?

Dedication is boring and a waste of time! In particular, there are thousands of NPCs who came to the birthday dinner, lined up to offer gifts one by one, and the epic is almost asleep!

After a few hours, the event was finally coming to an end. There are very few left who have not yet given gifts, and a few players, including Epic, are among them.

After all the NPCs finished presenting, the scribe finally called out the player's name, and the first one turned out to be an epic: "Female Adventurer [Gods の Poetry]!" ”

Epic paused for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward: "I am!" Then, following the procedure you have just seen, you will first give your gift to the scribe.

"The world's first female adventurer [Gods and Poems] congratulates the city lord on his birthday and offers a [White Boar Pet Egg]!"

"Wow~~!!" The scene was suddenly agitated, and the city lord Wu Hao stood up in surprise.

Although pets have appeared in the Marfa continent, they are controlled by the epic, so the scale is not large. And in the Journey Continent, it is directly zero! In this continent, only archers and summoners can bring pets, the problem is that archers need to get level 45 to learn the skill of [Patrol Beast], and the pets caught cannot be traded, they can only be carried by themselves! Not to mention summoners, summoned beasts are also non-tradable existences, so it is impossible for others to want pets!

Not to mention the city lord of Phoenix City, even if he is the king of a country, there is no way to ask for it!

The epic presented the [White Boar Pet Egg], and the shock of the city lord Wu Hao, and even the shock of all the NPC guests was normal. As for the few players who hadn't yet given the gift, someone suddenly recognized her identity: "Hell Witch!!" She's a witch from hell?!! ”

Epic ignored these players and looked at the city lord Wu Hao with anticipation. Although special rings are rare, they can still be exploded by hunting bosses. And the pet business is a monopoly of its own, this is a real rarity, and it is absolutely valuable! Since the preciousness of the gift is determined according to the value of the gift, a level 0 [White Boar Pet Egg] is definitely the best choice!

City Lord Wu Hao looked at the pet egg that the scribe took in disbelief, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and the smile on his face became very bright: "Okay! Good! This gift is the most precious one I've ever received! Wenshan, give back! ”

"My lord, what should I give in return?" A scribe named Wenshan asked in a low voice.

"Hahaha~~ Do you need to say this? Take my treasured Nine Heavenly Demon Armor! ”

"This ......"

"Go get it!"

"Yes!"

The scribe hurriedly entered the side room, and soon returned with a set of pitch-black armor: "The master gives back a piece of [Nine Heavenly Demon Armor]!" ”

【System】Gifts are still exchanged! Wu Hao, the city lord of Phoenix City in Wu Kingdom, was very happy after receiving the birthday gift of the player's [Gods and Poems], and even reluctantly cut his love and took the treasured [Nine Shadows Demon Armor] [Epic] as a return gift!

[System] You have obtained the [Nine Heavenly Demon Armor] [Epic]!

[Nine Heavenly Demon Armor] [Epic]: Physical Defense +9999, Magic Defense +9999, Constitution +9999, Intelligence +9999, (1) [Nine Ghost Devouring Soul Curse]: Consume 5000 MP to release nine evil souls to attack the enemy's soul and steal the opponent's life force to heal yourself; (2) 60% chance to negate 9999 damage; (3) Automatically negate a magic attack damage, and the CD recovery time is 300 seconds! Equipment Requirements: (1) Bodies of Gods and Demons; (2) Level 1000

(In the battle of the ancient gods and demons, the only god fought with the Nine Heavenly Demons for a thousand years, and finally sacrificed himself to die with the Nine Heavenly Demons.) The armor of the Nine Heavenly Demons has wandered into the world...... ）

"......" Epic almost fainted when he looked at the attributes, it was already very unscientific for Wu Hao, the city lord of Phoenix City, to be able to come up with such an artifact! If he had used it himself, he would have become an emperor a long time ago, right? Uh, no! This artifact requires the body of a god and a demon, and it can only be equipped at level 1000. What is the body of gods and demons, but what is the concept of level 1000? The game level is open until the last stage, right? According to the official announcement, the game level cap will be opened to level 100 for one year, although the player's leveling speed may affect the opening time of the level cap, but the difference will not be very big! And at level 1000, it will take at least 10 years......

What's the use of asking for it? Epic doesn't know whether to be happy or to cry. Store it for 10 years and use it again? Who knows if the server will go out of business by then......
