Volume 1: Age of Dawn Chapter 16: Departure
The night was getting closer and closer, and a cold wind hit through the window screen, blowing a chill on his body, which interrupted Chen Kaiyu, who was thinking.
He looked out the window under the darkness and made a secret decision.
At this time, he looked at Chen Xiaoyue, who was still reading the book carefully, and the yellowed paper was a little shiny against the fire.
"Did you find it?" Chen Kaiyu asked.
Chen Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and first shook her head.
"No, but I feel like I'm getting ...... soon"
Then she looked down again.
Suddenly, the book was closed, and the ancient numbers and patterns disappeared in front of Chen Xiaoyue's eyes.
"It's too dark, it's not good for your body to read like this, let's read it tomorrow." Chen Kaiyu comforted.
Chen Xiaoyue was a little speechless and stopped, and her expression showed a touch of unwillingness.
"If you read it early, the rest of the time will be boring again. So, it's better to save a little bit, right? Chen Kaiyu shook the book, and then put the precious book on the shabby table.
"That'...... All right. Her lips opened slightly, she cleaned up, and lay down on the hard bed, her thoughts wandering somewhere.
"Is it cold?" Chen Kaiyu lay on the other half and asked.
"Huh?" Chen Xiaoyue shook her head, "It's not cold, it's not cold...... There is a stove in much warmer. ”
"Oh, it's good if it's not cold, if it's cold, I'll sleep with you ......," Chen Kaiyu responded.
"How old are you, you still sleep with me......" Chen Xiaoyue said angrily.
"Keep each other warm." Chen Kaiyu smiled.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"In the next few days, I have to earn some source coins." Chen Kaiyu said in a deep voice.
"Tell me about your plans?" Chen Xiaoyue asked.
"I applied to become a hunter, and the rewards for completing the hunter quest are rich. So, I'd like to take on the task of earning some source coins and buying some more things to survive the dead period. Chen Kaiyu replied.
He only told Chen Xiaoyue his temporary plans, and he didn't say a word about the long-term.
"Is the mission dangerous?" Chen Xiaoyue asked softly.
"It's okay, nothing major. I'm now awakened to become a source, and although I don't know my source attributes, my body has been strengthened. Now I feel like I can kill a Red Flame Dog with one punch. ”
As he spoke, Chen Kaiyu gestured his fist at the air.
In the darkness, the sound of fists breaking through the air rattled.
Chen Xiaoyue felt the fierce momentum exuded by Chen Kaiyu, and the corners of her mouth hooked, as if she was smiling.
"That'...... It's up to you...... I don't care. "But remember, you have to come back alive, you know?" ”
"Understood." Chen Kaiyu shook his head.
"You can honestly help me study this ancient book at home these days, I urgently need to know what my source energy attribute is now......"
"Well, got it, leave it to me." Chen Xiaoyue replied briskly.
"You are in the Lord, I am outside the Lord, when the time comes, I will let you happily spend that cold and long period of death, and you let me know what kind ......of source energy is awakened, just like that," Chen Kaiyu said beautifully.
"You're thinking so beautifully." Chen Xiaoyue pursed her lips and turned over, with a jade face facing Chen Kaiyu over there.
The red ore in the furnace fire reflected her charming face, her long dream-like hair was disheveled, and her pale skin was dazzling.
Chen Kaiyu's heart moved, he came down and gently pushed the half of the split wooden bed, which happened to be one with the half of the bed where Chen Xiaoyue was.
"What?" She wrinkled her delicate nose and said.
Chen Kaiyu didn't respond, he directly touched Chen Xiaoyue's hand, and a cold and piercing feeling came.
"Why is it so cold? You're still saying that's not cold? Chen Kaiyu said with a frown.
Chen Xiaoyue ignored him.
Before he could say that, he hugged the delicate body and draped the brand new hunter's uniform over her.
"Soon there will be blankets, endure for a few more days." Chen Kaiyu breathed hot air at the delicate earlobe, making a dream-like sound.
Chen Xiaoyue snorted, her face tickled by the sudden heat.
……
The next day, when the scorching sun on the horizon rose with a glimmer of light, Chen Kaiyu was woken up by the slight sizzling sound of the stove burning.
He glanced at Chen Xiaoyue, who was busy cooking, rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned on the hunter instrument, and clicked on the task interface.
In fact, this high-tech thing is not too difficult to make, as long as there is active energy and metal, Chen Kaiyu feels that he can make one......
He painstakingly observed each of the missions issued by the Heavenly Wind Hunter Hall.
He wanted to find a suitable one that was easy to complete.
After all, this is his first time accepting a mission, and it is certainly best to succeed.
Finally, his eyes rested on a task.
Mission 109: Go to the wilderness outside the city to capture five flaming dogs, live or die, and transport them to the Hunter's Hall.
Reward: 100 White Coins, 1 star difficulty.
Client: The Hunter's Hall.
Note: Not based on the first recipient, first come, first served.
Chen Kaiyu clicked on the selection, this task is not bad.
The price of the Flame Dog on the market fluctuates between twelve and thirteen White Source Coins.
The price of the five heads on the mission is equivalent to one hundred white source coins, and the profit that Chen Kaiyu can make from this mission is nearly forty source coins, which is a very good gross profit.
The task is good, but you have to hurry, because he is not necessarily the only one who accepts the task, and the sign of task completion is first-come, first-served.
Then it's up to who's faster at solving the task.
Chen Kaiyu clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and his heart was full of confidence.
He quickly finished the boiled porridge, instructed Chen Xiaoyue, changed into a hunter's uniform, lifted the stone knife placed in the corner of the house, pushed open the door, and left.
Chen Xiaoyue looked at his distant figure through the shabby window screen, and clasped her hands together, as if she was praying.
"Bless him on his safe return." She muttered.
After a moment, when Chen Kaiyu's slightly burly and tall figure dissipated, Chen Xiaoyue locked the door and opened the ancient book, the yellowed pages flowed with mystery and knowledge, and she drew the power of eternal life from the book......
Chen Kaiyu walked directly on the main road leading to the city gate, and when the dead period was approaching, the pale gray streets were deserted on both sides, and the giant wall of Sylvia's victory loomed in the distance.
On the way, he pondered the habitat of the Flame Dogs, who had a real war bloodline, inherited the aggressive genes of their ancestors, and were irascible and irritable. Chen Kaiyu thought of a place, which was called the Polar Northern Plains by the people of the outer city, and in that frozen Jedi, it was a paradise for reptilian alien beasts.
He soon came to the northern gates.
