Chapter 248: The Pharmacist of Bengel
Banger, a small city in the vast southwest region of the Lord of Light.
There are countless similar cities throughout the main plane, and few people other than the players who live in them know or remember their names, history, and stories.
But Banger is very different, quite famous among hundreds of millions of gamers, and even in the forums of the main plane, there are special forums belonging to Banger.
Because this small city is home to a large number of freelance professional players, more than 90% of the shops and workshops in the city are operated by these players, and because of the cheap and tasteful properties, it attracts a large number of customers.
In "Radiance", although the number of life professional players is far less than that of combat players, it is not a small number, in addition to fishing, cooking, travel and other pure leisure, there is no shortage of professional players who try to gain benefits through life careers.
It's just that it's not easy for life players in the manufacturing category to make money, and they must invest a lot of money to burn skills in the early stage, and they also have to fight for character and luck, not to spend money on it, they will definitely be able to burn the skill level to above the advanced level.
The elusive success rate, the variety of career missions, and the ability to fully personalize talent all determine how far a professional life gamer can go down this path.
It is precisely because of the various difficulties that most of the high-level manufacturing life professional players in the game are carefully cultivated by powerful teams, warbands and unions, and the two sides have signed strict contracts. The former will have restrictions on their daily activities in the game.
But there are also many life players who advocate freedom and have talent and ability, and would rather slowly explore in hardships and hardships than be bound by others, and Banger is the place where these life players gather the most.
Zhao Xi had heard of the name of Banger for a long time, and it was Lin Mei who told him, and there was a lot of yearning in his words.
Today he came to Banger for the first time, with all the members of the team - Fang Xu, Xiong Bin, An Xiaohai, Ouyang Duan, Li Shuai and the Ye family brothers.
On the surface, Banger is not much different from other ordinary system cities, with familiar buildings and well-organized streets and alleys, with obvious imprints.
But there are a lot of shops here. Even if it's very cheap inside the alley. You can still see the signboards hanging on the walls, as well as the customers coming and going, all of which show the prosperity of the city.
According to the address provided by Blackwater, Zhao Xi found a pharmacy called "Green Bean".
The name of the store is also the name of the owner. It is also the employer of this important task of Yangmei Studio.
The green bean is also a freelance professional gamer. It's different from those ordinary players. He has expert-level alchemy skills, and can refine unique special potions, which can be regarded as a well-known existence in this industry.
His professional reputation. It is easy to tell from the number of customers at the pharmacy.
However, the four seasons beans are famous and have a great temper, and when he saw Zhao Xi leading the team to come to the door, he frowned and reprimanded unhappily; "Didn't I let you come early? Why so late? ”
As the so-called customer is God, and the Raising Eyebrows team is indeed late, Zhao Xi immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, we have been delayed for some things, and we can leave right now!" ”
Four Seasons Beans snorted and said: "If it weren't for the face of Blackwater Company, I wouldn't have been too lazy to wait for you, I don't have any sense of time, there are more teams that want to take over my mission, you have to know how to cherish it!" ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the shop and summoned a majestic demon wolf with a wave of his hand.
The Demon Giant Wolf is the highest-star riding pet sold in the system store, with a price of up to 1000 gold, and a riding pet like this is actually not very useful for life professional players who rarely leave the city, which can only show that this pharmacist is really rich!
After riding on the back of the demon giant wolf, Four Seasons Bean ignored Zhao Xi and the others, and drove the beast horse towards the outside of the city on his own.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Xi greeted and asked everyone to follow quickly.
His mount was the silver-winged horse that was originally given to Lin Mei, Xiong Bin's was a white-maned horse, and the other people were all green horseed wolves, gathered together to swagger through the market, which could also attract a lot of attention.
Guarding the apothecary green beans, the Raised Eyebrows team galloped all the way out of Bangor City and headed towards the Red River Valley.
It takes two days to walk from Banger City to the Red River Valley, and now it is much easier to get around on a mount, but you have to cross a dense forest and climb two mountains to get to the valley, so the time spent on the road is not short.
"Boss..."
In the process of advancing, Li Shuai sped up to catch up and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry." ”
Today, the Yangmei team was half an hour late, because Li Shuai was late to go online, he went back to his home in Beidu the day before yesterday, although he brought a virtual access instrument, but after all, it was not as convenient as in Shanghai.
Zhao Xi smiled: "It doesn't matter, you should have had a good time when you go home, but you can't have no priest in the team, so you can only keep working!" ”
Li Shuai nodded: "This is as it should be..."
A complicated look flashed in his eyes, but it was well concealed, even Zhao Xi didn't notice it.
Once inside the Great Forest, there were no ready-made paths, and the towering trees and thick vines weaved together into a huge web that silently stuck to the intruders' footsteps.
Everyone had to put away their mounts and move forward on foot, slowing down considerably.
Xiong Bin, who was holding a big shield, began to follow the side of Green Beans inch by inch, because Zhao Xi told him that no matter what happened, he could not leave this employer, even if he paid for his own life, he had to protect the safety of the other party first.
The difficulty of the story missions is very high, although he doesn't know the details of the entire mission of Green Beans, but since he is willing to pay a high price to hire a professional team escort, it is enough to show the danger.
Therefore, the road to the Red River Valley will definitely not be easy, and according to the requirements of the contract, once the green beans die on the way, the mission of the Raising Eyebrows team will be a complete failure!
And the danger came sooner than expected.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Dozens of arrows shot from the depths of the forest, shooting through the gaps in the trees towards the Raising Eyebrows.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi and the others were prepared, and immediately used the big tree as a cover, and quickly launched a counterattack against the sneak attackers.
The sneak attackers are not players, all of them are NPCs, they are mainly archers, and there are faint thieves in them, forming an encirclement of the Raising Eyebrows team.
Zhao Xi retreated to the side of the green beans and shouted in a deep voice: "Beware of thieves!" ”
Thieves can use stealth skills to sneak up on the forest environment, which is absolutely unguardable.
Ye Zhengxin snorted coldly, suddenly raised the staff in his hand, and shot a series of magic missiles.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Colorful projectiles landed on the woodland a dozen paces away, instantly knocking out two stealthy thieves, who had eye-catching damage numbers on their heads-
120! -115! -136! ……
Before they could escape and dodge, Ye Zhengxi's rain of arrows covered the past, instantly shooting them into a sieve!
The true eye of the mage can see through stealth and stealth, these NPC thieves' little tricks are simply not enough in front of the two brothers who cooperate tacitly.
Call!
The next moment, a blazing fireball fell from the sky, covering a large area, and although many fireballs hit the trees, the archers who were in it were instantly wiped out!
Ouyang Dui made a move, and as soon as he made a move, it was his best range attack spell.
And when his companions were killing, Zhao Xi stayed in front of the green beans and did not move, and blocked three or four arrows with his battle shield.
With Li Shuai in charge of treatment and defense in the back, these attacks are not painful or itchy for him at all.
The sudden encounter ended quickly, and the ambushers left behind a dozen corpses and fled into the depths of the forest in a hurry.
Thanks to Du Liu Xiaoyu, the novel * life and the new, new reward, this chapter warms up, and the wonderful plot is about to unfold! (To be continued......)
