Chapter 25 Receiving or Not Receiving Tasks
"I came here to spend money to learn the way of craftsmen, not to spend money to have fun, there is no way to teach what is going on, if you can't teach, return the money to me."
Although Zhu Ping is willing to spend more money, quickly learn the introductory knowledge of craftsmen, and send the data back the next time he can talk to his hometown, it does not mean that others have more money.
These gold coins, known as "primitive accumulation", are important because they will be used as a lever for plundering resources, and each gold coin will "lay off" in the future.
Zhu Ping is willing to spend a lot of money in exchange for "equivalent things", not simple revenge consumption.
"Ahem...... The old craftsman picked up the money bag and wanted to hand it forward, but his hand was a little disobedient, as if he was unwilling to give up the money in his hand.
He knew that Zhu Ping, a person like Zhu Ping who could casually take out a hundred gold coins to chase extraordinary power, was by no means an ordinary person, and he must not be angered by him, but the bag of gold coins seemed to be sticky.
It was difficult for him to choose under the temptation of ideals and thinking and money.
The old craftsman was afraid that the other party would be angry and destroy the small shop, so he hurriedly explained: "You listen to me first, there is a reason why I can't teach now." ”
"What is the reason?"
"Actually...... In fact...... "The old man wanted to speak and stopped."
Lina, a freckled girl, snatched the money bag away: "You can figure out what to say now!" ”
"My money ......" The old man looked at the money bag in Lina's hand and couldn't help but swallow. Use all your strength to remove the eyes that reflect the money.
Shaking his head and sighing: "Actually, I'm stuck on the threshold of realm breakthrough, and I can't teach people for the time being." ”
"Really? But I don't believe it......" Lina pursed her lips, raised her chin slightly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and threw her aside, looking like she didn't listen to Wang Ba's chanting.
At this time, you need to wear BGM red high heels...... Zhu Ping couldn't help but hold his forehead, this little Lori has an extremely smart personality, and her clever tongue is accompanied by her twelve-point poisonous tongue.
Usually he is ridiculed, but now he has been replaced by another person, and he feels a little cool.
"It's true, when a craftsman is stuck on the threshold of the realm, he can't use his ability." The old craftsman's disdainful tone towards Little Lina provoked indignation.
"Really? But I still don't believe ......"
"Don't believe it! I'll show you! The old man jumped up angrily at these words, and angrily rummaged through the cabinets, and took out a stack of kraft paper out of nowhere.
"Craftsman Sequence 9 is called the painter, do you know why their paintings are so famous?" It is because of spirituality that the paintings of craftsmen and painters are spiritual.
Spirituality that only a creative, sensual soul can have! ”
As he said this, Hepburn spread out the brown paper in his hand, revealing the black three-eyed demon wolf drawn with charcoal inside, which was vivid and lifelike.
But Xiao Lina still pretended to have a disdainful expression, glanced at it, and then looked away: "Isn't this just an ordinary painting?" What spirituality is there?
I think you're a fake craftsman! I wonder where I heard the knowledge of some craftsmen in this small kingdom of Orlandon! ”
"You girl! I'm! You don't believe it, do you? Don't believe it! The old craftsman was swept apart by the girl's hair, and his big hand pressed towards the painting, and a fluorescent light flickered.
The old man lowered his head and couldn't help coughing dryly, his face turned red as if he was holding his breath: "Ahem...... Spirituality, this is spirituality, you girl believe it now! ”
As he spoke, the fluorescent sketch scroll under the palm of the old craftsman's hand, as if the battery was insufficient, began to flicker continuously, and after two or three breaths, it slowly went out.
"That's why I can't teach now, I'm stuck in the realm ritual, my spiritual energy is chaotic, and I can't help you step into the cultivation threshold at all." The flush on his face still hadn't gone away.
The junior apprentice stepped forward to soothe his master's back, and said in surprise: "It turns out that Master, you didn't lie to me, you said that these paintings are very valuable, they will shine, it turns out that they are all true!"
The old craftsman said angrily: "When have I ever deceived someone, your master." ”
The elementary apprentice retorted with a straight face: "A few days ago, you said that you went to help Aunt Peggy on East Street repair the sewer, and the result was ......"
"Shut up!" The old craftsman grabbed each other's ears and forcibly stuffed the topic back.
The old craftsman Hepburn excitedly pointed to the gold coin in Lina's hand and said, "With this money, give me some time to prepare, and I can definitely be promoted."
At that time, in exchange, I will pass on to you what I have learned all my life. ”
The opportunity for promotion is in front of you, it is this small bag of gold coins, but the gap between him and the gold coins is a young and strong, extremely mysterious Zhu Ping.
"How long is it going to be?" Zhu Ping's fingers tapped on each other, thinking for a moment: "How long do you need to prepare, and how do you need to prepare?" ”
"It doesn't take much time, just give me three months." The old man was extremely excited, and his spit flew for a while.
"Three months?"
Zhu Pinghu said suspiciously: "Are you afraid that you are not teasing me?" In three months, you have already run away with money! ”
"No...... Right? The old craftsman immediately denied it, and then wanted to refute it, but he really didn't know how to refute it.
One hundred gold coins also ensures that the other party can get started...... Under all these additional conditions, the old craftsman really does not guarantee that he will not run away after three months.
After all, Orlanton is not his hometown, and there is no guilt in doing this.
Seeing that the old craftsman Hepburn was still looking for an excuse to refute, Zhu Ping interrupted: "What do you need for the promotion ceremony, you can tell me directly, and I will buy it for you." ”
"A hundred gold coins is not enough! ...... needed"
The old craftsman was halfway through his speech, when his voice suddenly stopped, and he realized that he had accidentally said the wrong thing, and he had accidentally revealed that he had money.
In this world of the jungle, it is a sin for the weak to have money!
When Zhu Ping was in a daze with the old craftsman, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over the junior apprentices who were standing aside to scrub and scrub, and his eyes paused for a moment.
And the old craftsman, as if struck by lightning, immediately appeared on his forehead with a dense layer of cold sweat, thicker than the beard, his lips trembled slightly, and hurriedly took the elementary school apprentice behind him.
"You don't have to worry, money is not as important to me as the craftsman's path......" Zhu Ping took his eyes off the apprentice and appeased the old craftsman, for fear that the old guy would run away.
In the entire capital of Orlanton, he only knows that the old man is a "craftsman", and if this one runs away and wants to find another one, it will not be so simple.
"Let's get straight to the point! What specific things are needed for the promotion ceremony, I can take out a hundred gold coins, it doesn't mean that I can only take out so much.
If I help you get together all the items you need for the promotion ceremony, then my 'tuition' will continue to be calculated at one hundred gold coins, and the rest of the money will be refunded and the rest will be made up, how about it? ”
"Really?" The old man was still a little unsteady in his heart.
"Of course it's true, if I wanted to do it, I would have done it a long time ago, and I really wanted to make up my mind to tie you up, so I wouldn't have to talk so much to you." Zhu Ping couldn't laugh or cry.
This old craftsman is like a "technical nerd" in Zhuping's hometown, he doesn't know much about human feelings, and he looks quite shrewd at first glance, but when he talks a lot, he is easy to show timidity.
And she can't listen to ridicule, Lina can confide any secret with her casual words.
The old craftsman sighed one after another, "Actually, I came here from the Holy Land because the northwest side of Orlanton is the habitat of the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, and I need to hunt it down to obtain its psionic core. ”
"Three-eyed demon wolf? Are you referring to the wolf king of the outer forest in the mountain stream northwest of Orlandon? "Zhu Ping knows about that group of three-eyed demon wolves.
It is a magic weapon to stop children from crying at night, and it is well tried, so everyone knows it.
"Exactly." The old man nodded.
Why are you embarrassed to nod...... Zhu Ping couldn't help but pout: "Do you know how many levels of fierce beast that wolf is?" Do you dare to spend money on bidding to find someone to hunt, and does anyone dare to take the order? ”
The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf King, an extraordinary creature of level 6, has an absolute strength that is almost equal to that of a wizard in Sequence 6, and it needs at least a strong person in Sequence 7 to be qualified to fight its idea.
"Hunt it, do you want to hire Viscount Xiao Nong, or Viscount Lin Zheng? Or is it to invite the old king of Orlanton out of the mountain gate? Zhu Ping felt that the old craftsman in front of him couldn't figure out the situation.
The old man retorted in a low voice: "Actually, I have also made a lot of preparations over the years, and I have purchased a poisonous weed that is enough to stun the wolf king, as long as I let it eat, I will definitely be able to kill it!" ”
"You're stupid to be a wolf! Wild creatures hardly eat dead things, okay! Zhu Ping pursed his lips, the extraordinary creatures of this world are very intelligent and picky when eating.
As a wild human, if you want to eat the freshest salmon, you have to jump into the sea, grab the mustard in one hand, hold the soy sauce in the other, and gnaw at the back door of the salmon's butt.
The same is true of wolves, the habit of wild animals to seek advantages and avoid harm, coupled with the sensory and intellectual enhancement of extraordinary creatures, they will not be stunned to eat poisonous weeds.
The old craftsman, who had a good face, immediately retorted: "The poisonous weed I bought is very extraordinary, it will only deactivate extraordinary creatures of sequence 6 and above, and it will be almost ineffective against extraordinary creatures of low rank......"
"Only halo sequence 6 and above, not for creatures below sequence 6? Is there such an amazing plant? Zhu Ping looked dumbfounded, and then showed a thoughtful expression: "Hmm...... If that's the case, it's still somewhat feasible. ”
Mission: Hunt the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf...... Available Item: Mystic Spirit Grass...... Reward: Craftsman Pathway Cultivation Method.
"Is this task to be accepted or not?"
