Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Stone of the Dead
After returning to the tailor shop and dumping the two thousand gold coins on the ground, Yi Chen didn't say a word, and looked at the smiling Kabui coldly.
It took Kabui more than half an hour to put all the gold coins on the counter in batches, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered Yi Chen, who was waiting for the reward.
Smiling awkwardly, Kabui said, "That...... The number of gold coins is exactly right, two thousand gold coins one no more and one no less. ”
"In that case, have you forgotten something?" Yi Chen looked at Kabui for a long time.
"Yes, yes, yes......" Kabui nodded hurriedly, glanced at the counter with some reluctance, and said with a smile: "As a reward for helping me recover my arrears this time, I have two options for you to choose from." ”
Yi Chen said noncommittally: "Let's talk about it." ”
"The first one is to pay you back three hundred gold coins, you know, I didn't deceive you, the day before yesterday you were indeed gold equipment, and you were given these three hundred gold coins just because you helped me recover the arrears." After reiterating that he was not a liar, Kabui smiled and said, "The second is to give you something." ”
"What's that?" Yi Chen asked.
"I can't say it, I can only show it to you after you choose." Kabui said indifferently: "After you choose, you will lose the right to ask for another three hundred gold coins. ”
If you are a normal person, you will never believe what Kabui said again after being deceived once, not to mention that Kabui's words are full of loopholes, and anyone with a little bit of brains will feel that it is a trap that relies on three hundred gold coins.
But the world is big, and there are all kinds of birds. The player who completed this hidden mission in his previous life chose the second option for unknown reasons. It was also this second option that allowed him to get Skynet's only rare item that could disguise low-level equipment as high-level equipment.
Yi Chen is a normal person, if he didn't know the reward of this mission, he would definitely choose to claim back the three hundred gold coins after hesitating. Now, he did not hesitate to choose the second option.
"I'll choose the second option!"
"Okay! Wait a minute. There was no joy or sorrow on Kabui's face, and after entering the back room alone for a moment, he came out with an extra sky blue ring in his hand.
The moment he took the ring, a system prompt sounded in Yi Chen's ears: Congratulations on completing the task 'Recover the Arrears', and you will get the reward magic ring.
The Magic Ring?
Yi Chen hurriedly checked the surname.
Magic Ring - After activation, the equipment display surname can be instantly upgraded by one level, and the original surname of the equipment that has been upgraded will remain unchanged. (Valid for one day, special ability cooldown for one day.) )
With the task reward in hand, putting the magic ring into the storage space, Yi Chen looked at Kabui meaningfully: "This ring ...... The function is very peculiar! ”
The evidence of the deception was in front of him, but Kabui said calmly: "This ring was left by my father, I have been keeping it for twenty years, if it was not accidentally discovered when I was looking for you to pay for the task, I don't know how long it will take for it to be seen again." ”
Yi Chen was speechless, this liar's nonsense ability is really good, and he can compete with himself.
Three hundred gold coins for a rare item is still very worthwhile, and Yi Chen doesn't want to pursue it any further, after all, the possible surname of employing Kabui still exists, and if the conditions that trigger the employment of Kabui are missed due to a bad relationship, this loss will be great.
"Forget it, although the surname of this ring is useless, it's still good to keep it as a collectible, and if it won't expire tomorrow, three hundred gold coins are worth it." Yi Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll leave first, and I'll see you in two months." ”
"Okay, I'll send you!" Seeing that Yi Chen no longer cared about being deceived, Kabui was overjoyed.
Out of the tailor shop, Yi Chen strode towards the village chief's house, and after only ten steps, Kabui chased after him again.
"That...... Does what you said last time count? ”
Yi Chen was puzzled: "What did I say last time?" ”
Kabui explained: "It's about paying at least 100,000 gold coins every two years to ask me to help you lend money in Kadar City. ”
"You mean......" Yi Chen exclaimed, "Are you willing to go?" ”
"Being able to get back the arrears from the hands of the bandit leader shows that your strength is much stronger than mine, you are still so young, there is still a great opportunity to improve your strength, and you may be able to help me fulfill my wish." Kabui sneered: "Plus you know that you have been deceived by me, you can still not care...... This kind of boss should be worth following me. ”
I thought that I couldn't let Kabui say the conditions for the time being, but I didn't expect things to take a 360-degree turn, Yi Chen was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "What do you want?" ”
"Actually, it should be my father's wish." Kabui said embarrassedly: "That was thirty or forty years ago, my father was a cheater for a living, and once he got a colorful jade called the 'Death Stone' from the hands of a knight. ”
"'Death Stone'?" Yi Chen was surprised: "The 'Death Stone' that can be resurrected three times? ”
"Yes!" Kabui was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Yi Chen to also know about the 'Death Stone'. It seems that his father's wish may be fulfilled in his lifetime.
Yi Chen secretly smiled bitterly, if Kabui's condition was to find the 'Death Stone' for him, this would not be as difficult as the average two.
Not to mention that this 'Death Stone' has only been seen in the official information for thirty years in the previous life, even if you really get it, it is still a question whether you are willing to use it for tasks.
Seeing Yi Chen's face condensed, Kabui said worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Let's talk about the mission first! Yi Chen signaled, "Go on!" ”
Kabui nodded: "My father immediately took it to the auction house in Kadar City after getting the 'Death Stone', but two years later, he went out in distress and met this knight. At the critical moment, this knight not only saved my father regardless of his previous suspicions, but also died because of it. ”
Yi Chen asked, "So your father wants to retrieve the 'Death Stone'?" ”
Kabui said helplessly: "After bringing the knight back to the village for burial, in order to appease the guilty heart, my father went out to look for the 'Death Stone', but found nothing for more than ten years, and before he died, he asked me to swear a poisonous oath that if I could not bring the 'Life Stone' back to the knight's tomb, I would protect the knight's grave for the rest of my life." For so many years, I have also gone out to look for it, but after more than a dozen life and death wanderings, I still can't find any trace of the 'Death Stone'. ”
After a pause, Kabui said apologetically: "I know this condition is a bit unbelievable, but ......"
Ding: Congratulations on triggering the hidden quest 'Kabui's Follower', please choose whether to receive it or not.
Access!
Yi Chen didn't hesitate at all, regardless of whether he could find the 'Death Stone' or not, whether he was willing to use it for tasks after finding the 'Death Stone'. Establish a cooperative relationship with Kabui to complete the hidden mission of the magic ring on Kabui's body, and do not blame the deceived in the past...... Yi Chen believes that as long as there is a mistake in one link, this task will be buried forever. It can be said that the hidden task behind this hidden task is not easy to come by, and it is simply unreasonable not to accept it.
