Xiao Xiaolan always felt that there was something wrong with Russell's NPC, as an NPC, there were so many abnormalities about him, so much that Xiao Xiaolan couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After giving Xiao Xiaolan a reward, he ignored Xiao Xiaolan, and lay on the table like a corpse, as if he was asleep. Looking at his virtue, it is estimated that he will not pay attention to himself. Xiao Xiaolan turned around and left the Magic Envoy Guild, preparing to go out to fight monsters, after all, fighting monsters and upgrading is the fastest.

Walking all the way to the gate of the town, Xiao Xiaolan suddenly noticed that something was wrong. It's not normal, it's not normal, what Russell just said is definitely not normal. seems to be accusing Xiao Xiaolan of failing the serial mission because of her self-assertion, and giving Xiao Xiaolan a breakup fee, and the two have never been in contact with each other. But in reality, Russell didn't say anything to death.

His original words were "the serial mission has changed", and he did not directly say that the mission failed, which may be understood as there is still room for redemption. And when the reward is handed out, it says, "I'll send you the reward in front," and it says "in front," which means that there is one in the back.

Besides, if the mission really fails, then Russell directly tells Xiaoxiaolan: "Because your self-assertion is self-righteous and clever, the mission failed, so, goodbye!" "Wouldn't it be fine? Why did he ask Xiao Xiaolan this and that, said so much nonsense, and said that Xiao Xiaolan didn't trust herself.

There must be a follow-up task, such an obvious hint is explicit, and only a fool like Xiao Xiaolan can't hear it.

Hurriedly returning to the Magician's Guild, Russell was still lying on his desk, half-dead asleep like a salted fish. Xiao Xiaolan stood in front of Russell, like a parent who guarded their children's naps, and looked at Russell quietly.

After more than thirty minutes like this, Russell's hand suddenly moved, and then slowly raised his head, just in time to meet Xiao Xiaolan's kind and gentle eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds.

"You, haven't left?"

Xiaoxiao Lan lied: "Yes, I've always been there." ”

This will make others feel that they are sincere.

"Standing here looking at me all the time?"

"yes, I've been standing here all along."

Russell suddenly felt a chill, and cold sweat broke out on his back, completely soaking the layer of shirt inside. Since learning the magic of the ice element, Russell has rarely felt the cold, but this time a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow emerges from the bottom of his heart.

This man, it's tricky.

It was the first time in Russell's life that he had such thoughts.

Russell stared at Xiao Xiaolan and asked word by word: "You, shouldn't you have no friends?" ”

Xiao Xiaolan was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”

Russell's eyes narrowed: "How can you have friends with your character, even if there are people who are definitely friends with you because of money, not to mention that you look poor and sour, I don't even think there is anyone who is friends with you because of money." ”

, it's really to the point. It's true that I don't have any friends because of this character, just a slut who plays a good friend game with me. That's why I've been disguised for a long time, and over time, I've become like this.

Forget it, I won't talk to you so much, this is my scar, and I can't let you mention my sadness anymore. Xiao Xiaolan got straight to the point: "Mr. Russell, you said before that the mission has changed, so what is the change?" ”

Russell raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Do you want to keep doing it? ”

In this tone, are you playing with the desire to get away with it? Xiao Xiaolan hurriedly replied: "Well, I really want to continue to do it, there must be a beginning and an end." But...... Can you, uh, forget it, I'm willing to keep doing it. ”

I wanted to ask what kind of task it was, so I could be mentally prepared. But I felt that it would be a bit rude to ask like this, after all, he had already left a bad impression on Russell that he didn't trust him before, but this task still had to be accepted in the end, so he simply didn't ask so much.

Russell sat up, crossed his hands over his chest, and cocked Erlang's legs, and his handsome face showed the appearance of a hooligan, almost like a loan shark from the underworld.

"Well, because of your recklessness, this reward is very - the direction of the lucrative chain of quests has changed, so I'll give you other quests."

Uh, why are you stretching the sound of the word "very" so long, are you sarcastically that I picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon? Alas, whatever you want to say, anyway, I don't know how rich the "very-rich" is, who knows if your watermelon will be rotten, maybe you're deliberately angry with me.

Xiao Xiaolan nodded, looking confused and didn't understand: "Oh......"

Russell hooked his finger at Xiao Xiaolan, and Xiao Xiaolan hurriedly whispered: "There are two tasks I want to give you. The first task is to start today for four days, and as the name suggests, substitute work is to work on my behalf. In these four days, you will be able to do my work in my place for these three hours from 2 to 5 pm, and enjoy the temporary worker subsidy of this guild in addition to the task rewards I give you every day, are you willing? ”

Xiao Xiaolan nodded hurriedly: "I am willing, I am willing!" ”

Who wouldn't want to take this kind of good thing of getting two rewards.

- [You accept Russell's assignment "substitute" to perform the work of imparting skills to Russell between 2 and 5 p.m. every day. The duration of the mission is four days. If you fail the mission, you will pay Russell 3,000 gold as compensation. 】

Wait, what's going on with these three thousand gold coins?

Turning off the taskbar, Xiao Xiaolan looked at Russell, as if seeing Xiao Xiaolan's doubts, Russell glanced at Xiao Xiaolan: "Do you know how much trouble I have caused because of your half-way abandonment, in order to prevent you from repeating the mistakes that affect me, these three thousand gold coins should be used as liquidated damages to compensate me." ”

, you're still eating a cushion of wisdom and learning. Three thousand gold coins is indeed a huge amount of money for current players, although fighting monsters can drop equipment and materials, but this is a chance, so now most players are learning mining and decomposition three life skills, see a mine to dig, there is grass to pull, there is a monster corpse to decompose, all the things obtained are sold for money, and then deduct the cost of equipment maintenance, potions, travel expenses and food, there is not much left.

However, this task still seems to be relatively simple, and there shouldn't be any problems, Xiao Xiaolan asked again: "Then, what about the second task?" ”

"The second task requires you to go to four different places to retrieve four different things for me, and if you get one back, you will be rewarded once. It doesn't require you to do it, you can do it if you want to do it, and forget it if you don't want to do it. But if you can get all four back, I'll definitely give you a very generous reward, this quest has no time limit, and if you complete this quest before the end of the substitute quest, I will pay you an extra reward. ”

As he spoke, Russell handed Xiao Xiaolan four diamond-shaped crystals, which were similar to the previous [Valley of the Rotation of the White Sun and the Black Moon], with the only difference being the color.

"Using the Teleportation Crystal will automatically teleport to the mission location, and the details will be understood after you use the Teleportation Crystal."

- [You accepted Russell's quest "Finding Objects", but the quest is currently inactive.] 】

Russell continued: "In order to prevent you from being unskilled in your business, I will let you get used to it in advance today, it is now nine o'clock, you can help me substitute until twelve o'clock." ”

- [You have been granted some permission to teach skills]

"I'll leave it to you here, young man, do a good job!"

Before Xiaolan could react, Russell disappeared with a teleportation.

Hey, hey, do you want to go so simply and in such a hurry? Won't you explain what to do? Aren't you afraid I'll mess up?

Russell flew away like this, Xiao Xiaolan had no choice but to open the taskbar and look at the task description, fortunately, the system was intimate, and it was written clearly in the taskbar what to do.

The so-called substitute shift is similar to the staff at the bank counter, sitting at the counter and waiting for the rabbit. When there are players to learn skills, they have to line up one by one in front of Xiao Xiaolan, then a window will appear in front of them, the window is the current level of skills that can be learned, and then the player will choose, and then tell Xiao Xiaolan after the selection, at this time, only need Xiao Xiaolan's hand to wave, the skill will be taught, of course, it is necessary to collect money, and if the money is not enough, you can't learn.

During the substitute class, Xiao Xiaolan's name was changed to "Skill Teacher (Part-time)", because it was De Racel's class, and only the general skills of magic and the skills of ice and water attributes could be taught.

When teaching skills, the money cost and prestige required for each skill will be displayed, Xiao Xiaolan found something wrong, the charge for skills such as water arrows and ice arrows is 50~70 points of magic to make the guild prestige, and the skill charges within the professional level of 10 rarely exceed 100 points of prestige, Russell taught Xiao Xiaolan more than a dozen skills, Xiao Xiaolan calculated, the added cost should be 830 points of prestige, why did Russell take nearly twice as many 1500 points?

And when the player doesn't have enough reputation, he can't learn skills, which will remind the player that the player's reputation is not enough to pay for learning, but why is Russell able to deduct my reputation to a negative value? Is there some shady deal in this?

Since this is the water element kingdom, there are basically no players who are looking for Xiaoxiaolan to learn water attribute skills, and most of them come to learn ice attribute skills, after all, the frozen attribute attached to ice attribute skills is very popular with players.

But to be honest, compared to the long queue in front of the thunder attribute and natural attribute skill mentors, Xiao Xiaolan only has occasional players visiting here, not to mention Luo Na, who is responsible for teaching fire attribute skills next to her, no one looks at it. So Rona, who was idle and panicked, began to talk to Xiaoxiaolan.

"Young man, we're meeting again, you're the one Russell has asked for a substitute."

Uh, young man? I set the age of this character to be eighteen years old, you call me young, you look about twenty-seven or eighteen, can it be said that under the appearance of your twenties is hidden a heart in your forties?

"Yes, yes, I'm here to help Mr. Russell, there are still a lot of things I don't understand, Miss Rona will have to take care of me when the time comes."

"Oh, hehehehe, what a young man who can talk, there are so few polite people like you now. If I hadn't had that him in my heart, if I had been ten years younger, maybe I would have been tempted by you. ”

Ten years younger? That him? Xiao Xiaolan trembled and shuddered, fortunately, you are not ten years younger and already have the one in your heart, otherwise I will be eaten by you.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiaolan remembered something and asked Lorna, "Miss Lorna, I would like to ask what your working hours are?" ”

"Working hours? Our guild is divided into day and night shifts. Rona said and pointed to the skill instructor next to her, and continued: "Now the people sitting in the hall, including me and Russell, are on the day shift when there are no special circumstances, from nine to twelve in the morning, with a two-hour break at noon, and two to five in the afternoon. The rest of the time is the responsibility of the night shift people. ”

It's actually the legendary 9 to 5, which is the envy of others' working hours! And I have a two-hour break at noon, which is equivalent to only six hours a day, and I want to do such a good thing.

Wait a minute! Rona said that the afternoon work time was from 2 to 5 o'clock, and Russell asked me to substitute for 2 to 5 o'clock, so didn't this mean that Russell only had to finish the three hours of work in the morning every day for these four days and then go home from work?

Rhona sighed: "Russell seems to be quite busy lately, and often takes time off. Recently, I've been saying that I can't get out of the way because of something important, and I want to find someone to help him take over. ”

it! This should be him begging me to help him substitute for him, how did it turn into me begging him to issue a task?
