Chapter Twenty-Four: Mithril

Ye Ci got off the line, it was still very early, and there was still a while before dinner. So she took advantage of Bai Mo's lack of offline, so she went to take a bath, and by the time she finished taking a shower, Bai Mo was already sitting in the living room waiting for her. Ye Nantian and Zuo Xiaolan have not yet gone offline, and it is estimated that they are still studying how to not lose money online.

Ye Ci wiped his hair while sitting on the sofa next to Bai Mo. She looked at Bai Mo's face, which was very calm, so calm that it was impossible to predict what was going on in his heart. Ye Ci didn't speak, and Bai Mo didn't speak, the two of them just sat quietly, only the noisy and disturbing noise from the boring programs on the TV added an inexplicable contrast to this quiet.

"The result is that we guessed that it was not a word skip. I don't know how long it took before Bai Mo asked as if no one was around.

"Yes, and ......" Ye Ci paused slightly and did not continue.

"And a thousand mountains and the slanting sun are also wrapped in it." Bai Mo smiled, in fact, he had already expected that a little girl who had lost her momentum and was bankrupt had such a great ability to buy murder and beat people and then make those relationships between the top and bottom so good, so that characters like Bai Zixuan were not found out.

"You already knew." Ye Ci didn't feel strange at all about Bai Mo's prophetic foresight. Bai Mo's father is an official near a city, this official is not small, and since Bai Mo was a child, Bai Zixuan has had a smooth career, it can be said that Bai Mo has been working in such an officialdom since he was a child.

Bai Mo has Bai Mo's past, and those are what Ye Ci doesn't know. And Ye Ci also has Ye Ci's past, which Bai Mo doesn't know. They are together, just simple brothers and sisters, but when they turn their backs, who is the ghost and who is the spirit, only they know best in their hearts.

Ye Ci sometimes thinks that in fact, a child like Bai Mo from a family background is definitely not a child of a small family that has never been seen in the world. What does Bai Mo on the other side look like, Ye Ci can't guess it, and he doesn't want to guess.

She just needs to know that Bai Mo is very good to her.

"Yueqingqiu told me a very boring story, do you want to hear it?" Ye Ci used his fingers as a comb, gently scraped his hair, and had a cold smile on his lips: "The result is very old-fashioned, and the process is very bloody." ”

"Listen, I'm bored." Bai Mo didn't know where to take out a pack of cigarettes and skillfully lit one. He and Ye Ci have been here for so long, in fact, Ye Ci has almost never seen Bai Mo smoking, but now looking at his skillful skills in lighting and holding cigarettes, he knows in his heart that he is afraid that Bai Mo's smoking is not a matter of one or two days.

She curled the corners of her mouth, and then repeated the boring story that Yue Qingqiu told herself, and repeated it to Bai Mo. Bai Mo didn't speak from beginning to end, just maintained a very careful listening attitude, and only after Ye Ci finally ended the story did he laugh: "No wonder you say boring, this story is indeed boring." Then he tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I said that my father can't do anything here anymore, it turns out that the county official might as well take care of it now." ”

"What do you want to do?" Ye Ci suddenly asked.

"Don't worry about that." Bai Mo shook his head, there were some things he didn't want Ye Ci to know.

Ye Ci saw that Bai Mo insisted on not telling himself, and he didn't ask more, but told Bai Mo what Yue Qingqiu advised him in turn: "The Qianshan Xieyang family has a great cause, it's not just that it's just money, with our current ability, we may not be able to deal with him, and the Dong Yin family should also make a comeback now, and we have to think twice before doing it......"

Bai Mo waved his hand and signaled Ye Ci not to continue, it seemed that he didn't want to continue the topic, so Ye Ci stopped and stopped talking.

"Mingyuexing has got a good enchantment recipe, but the materials are hard to come by." Bai Mo shifted the topic to the other side.

"What enchantment recipe?" Bright Moon Star is now the only high-level casting master in the guild, and there are thousands of weapons and armor and enchantment recipes from his hands, and every moonlight is something he makes, and he can earn a lot of money in the trading house, which is one of the sources of money every day.

"The strength is increased by 38, and the weapon armor is added by 50, in addition, it is said that there is a mysterious attribute, but the formula is sold off." When Bai Mo talked about the game, the expression on his face looked a lot better, but after reporting the attributes of this armor, he let out a long sigh: "However, now there is a shortage of materials, even if we go up every day, there are only two pieces in the entire guild." ”

Ye Ci raised her eyebrows, she knew what Bai Mo was talking about. Although she paid little attention to what was stored in the guild warehouse, just after Bai Mo said the rarity of this thing, Ye Ci knew what it was. Although Bai Mo only knew that this thing was difficult to get now, he didn't know what kind of vital role this thing would play in the future development of the game.

"You're talking about Mithril." Ye Ci smiled.

"Hey, I really don't underestimate you to say that you are a great god, as long as I bring up anything in the whole game, you can actually know." Bai Mo originally wanted to sell a pass and hang Ye Ci's appetite, but he didn't expect Ye Ci to directly say the name of this thing, which made Bai Mo very surprised.

Ye Ci just smiled bitterly, where did she know all the details. If Bai Mo was also reborn, he would naturally be no stranger to this thing. You must know that Shengshi almost collapsed because of this thing.

Mithril is an extremely precious metal in Western mythology. Not only is it lightweight and tough, but more importantly, Mithril has a very mysterious property that can greatly help improve its own attributes. In other words, Mithril itself does not have any special effects, but it is like a magnifying glass, using it to create fire-attribute equipment, then the damage caused by the fire attribute of the equipment will be greatly amplified, and using it to create equipment with the holy light attribute will also greatly increase the damage caused by his holy light attribute.

What's more, with the opening of the new expansion "New World", the role of Mithril Ore has been magnified indefinitely.

By that time, all players will find out that all equipment produced from quests after level 70 must require a close-fitting Mithril shirt to be worn. As more and more players reach level 70 and more people build dungeons, the demand for Mithril increases.

You know, if you can't wear the equipment produced by a level 70 dungeon, even if you reach level 80, you won't be able to enter the level 80 dungeon for adventure. In this way, from the perspective of the general public, the role of Mithril is played to infinity.

It is precisely because of this infinite amplification that fate almost collapsed. Of course, Ye Ci thought that the purpose of planning to enlarge the Mithril Mine at the beginning was nothing more than the existence of a group of top players, but he didn't expect that this point was firmly grasped by Sheng Shi, and he wantonly brushed Mithril, and finally almost led to the death of the game.

Although the Mithril Mine is very useful, it ...... After all, this thing is not the garbage of the bad street, but a rare and rare material, so until now, the production of Mithril Ore has basically been dropped by B in the dungeon, and other than that, everyone doesn't know that there are other ways to obtain this precious thing.

Of course, of course, only a handful of players in today's games, or rather, only major guilds with advanced life skills know how rare and valuable this thing is. For the majority of ordinary players, don't say that they understand, they haven't even heard of it.

But is there really only one way to get Mithril?

Of course not, if Mithril can only be obtained through such a way as B drops, it is absolutely impossible for the later prosperous world to use him to do anything earth-shattering. Mithril, as a mysterious and precious mineral, has always been hidden from everyone's eyes.

However, as long as it is a mineral, no matter how precious it is, then it has a place for a vein, a cave, and a place to dig.

Mithril is definitely no exception.

In the game is designed like this. In the entire Destiny Continent, there are only four Mithril veins, which are distributed on the four continents of the southeast, south, and northwest, which have not changed. Even ten years later, new continents and new fields have been opened, this has not changed at all. At that time, the plan was designed like this, in fact, so that the four continents in the southeast, northwest, and northwest at the beginning would not leave the four continents without players due to the opening of the later expansion, so the four Mithril veins were only placed on these four continents.

It's just that none of them thought that after Sheng Shi came in, they didn't know what method they used to know the specific location of the four Mithril veins, and then sent heavy troops to guard the veins and control the trading of all Mithril in the entire game.

Such a control means that the price of Mithril is completely in the hands of the Shengshi Guild. They set the price of Mithril at a very high price, to the point of being outrageously high. Players in the Grand Guild can soak in dungeons all day long, so that there will be more or less Mithril production, but what about retail players? In order to continue playing, you can only desperately earn money, and then exchange it for a little extremely rare Mithril to continue playing for yourself.

After all, retail players are redundant guild players, and the price of Mithril in the prosperous era has changed three times a day, and it remains high, retail players have to turn to start a life career in order to make money, once there are more players in life occupations, the original inherent economic pattern in the market has been changed, things are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the game currency in their hands is becoming more and more insufficient......

This is a terrible chain, and the source is in the hands of Shengshi. Originally, the Shengshi Guild, which had been overwhelming the game with numbers and massacres, did not kill people in its fate this time, nor did it use crowd tactics, but instead used an economic constraint that was more terrible than slaughter and crowd tactics, and almost collapsed the whole fate.

When the situation was almost irreparable, Wang Jiangnan stepped forward, made a military order, and with the strength of one person, he finally carried all the pressure in such an angry sea frenzy. In the previous life of the Glory Group, this was a story that was widely circulated in private, and Ye Ci also heard people talk about it within the Glory Group.

It's just that such a story, although it is wonderful to say, but those who have not really experienced it will never know how that dark storm began, how it spread, and how it ended in the end. For those who listen to stories, it's always just a story. It's just that for those who have experienced it, it's a shudder that makes people feel terrified when they recall it.

Ye Ci took a deep breath, she didn't even want to remember that storm.

Under such economic collapse, under such confusion, it seems that human nature has been given the greatest consideration.

Sometimes Ye Ci also thinks, perhaps, it was in that storm that people could no longer tell where the game was and where the reality was. And the self in the previous life, isn't it also this kind of confused person?

"How's this thing's explosive rate?" Ye Ci retracted his already distant thoughts, looked at Bai Mo and asked.

"Don't mention it, the explosion rate of this thing is simply a cheat. When the first piece first burst out, I found out that it was a purple item, but there was no specific way to use it on it, so I had to receive it in the guild warehouse. I've always forgotten about it, and when Mingyue Xing came to me with the recipe to ask me for that piece of Mithril, I knew that this thing was so useful so I kept paying close attention to collecting this thing, but unfortunately, the explosion rate was too low, you see we have also played a copy for half a year, and we have produced up to five pieces, and I have already taken three pieces to Mingyue Xing, and only two of the remaining ones are placed in the guild warehouse as decorations. As soon as he mentioned this thing, Bai Mo shook his head and sighed.

Ye Ci smiled, she didn't tell Bai Mo to rely on such a low-level copy to save Mithril, it was simply a fool's dream. She didn't even tell Bai Mo that she actually knew the specific location of the Mithril veins in the Eastern Continent, not only the location of the Eastern Continent, but she also knew the location of the Mithril veins in the other four continents.

It's best to pretend to have discovered these things by chance. It's just that time has to be hurried, because the time before the Shengshi Guild enters the destiny is getting shorter and shorter, and if they wait until they enter the destiny and do these things, she is afraid that it will be too late.

"Don't worry, these things will definitely fall into place in the future anyway, since the game planner can design this thing, he will definitely not let it become famous, so why worry. Besides, although this armor piece is precious now, isn't it a bit wasteful to use it on weapons that we only have level 3 or 40 on average? Hurry up and level up to 60, wouldn't it be better to use a weapon out of level 10? Ye Ci skillfully explained this Bai Mo, after all, this matter is something that you can't be in a hurry for.

Bai Mo took a deep breath and nodded.

After Bai Mo learned that Dong Yin and Qianshan Xieyang had jointly cleaned up the ins and outs of his Ye Ci, he seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened. Since Ye Ci had already agreed, he didn't care about how he was going to deal with Dong Yin and Qianshan Xieyang, so it was naturally impossible to ask about it again. She was just thinking carefully about how to use other people's hands to clean up all these disgusting people and things. For example, stealing a warehouse is a small fight, although it can make people feel cool at the time, but it will leave too much trouble for yourself, and it will not make the other party hurt your bones. What's more, if these small tricks are played too much, they will inevitably attract the attention of the other party, so if they want to deal with the other party, I am afraid that they will take precautions.

This time, if you don't do it, you have to do it - cut the grass and eradicate the roots

Before that, there is only one thing she has to do, to keep her head up, to recuperate, and quietly wait for the opportunity to come.

The heyday is coming. But before the Shengshi Guild came, every player and every guild still lived a normal life, and no one would be unable to eat or sleep because of this news. Everyone's life is still going on, and it's the same every day, and it's the same with Ye Ci.

But it is worth mentioning that during this period, the official held a player photo contest. There are two categories, one is video and the other is photo. The majority of players can actively contribute. For example, the video category is divided into three awards: drama, competition and publicity. The photo category is divided into three categories: scenery, people, team, and other miscellaneous. This event is just an official test of the waters, and it doesn't give players a lot of time, but even the official didn't expect that there would be so many players participating and the enthusiasm of players would be so high, which also inspired the official idea of doing the same event in the second year. Of course, that's all for later.

The important thing is that this year's event is really dizzying with several categories of works.

According to statistics, there are hundreds of thousands of video works participating in the event alone, and millions of photo works. The official organized a huge panel of judges to look at these works every day, and it took two weeks before finally making the selection.

The video category is of course the most concerned about the drama category, whether it is men, women and children, naturally pay special attention to the kind of lingering and melancholy, or comedy or tragedy stories. However, the competitive category is no exception, and most of the videos in the competitive category are videos of the masters' moves, although the attention is not as good as the plot category, but it is also particularly popular. After all, masters are scarce, and videos of masters are even more scarce. As for the propaganda category, it is not so popular under the reflection of the other two categories.

The most eye-catching type of photo category is the team category. Most of these guilds are large and small guilds that make some beautiful photos in order to promote their guilds, which are particularly eye-catching. And the second is the scenery category. There are too many players in Destiny, their goal is not how high the level is, how strong they are, they care more about walking through the mountains and rivers in Destiny. The art of fate is indeed powerful, even in a bleak cemetery of dry bones, there is definitely a beautiful view that touches your heart.

As the saying goes, there is no shortage of beauty in this world, only the eyes that find it.

And these players act as the eyes that find beauty. Their tracks are all over Destiny, whether that map is extremely dangerous or not, whether that map is barren or not. They took countless beautiful photographs with their eyes that found beauty. This makes all players, even the game's artists, can't help but marvel, wow, it turns out that this map still has such a beautiful view.

It is for this reason that most of the comments after a type of landscape photo are replies left by the player to find the coordinates. It seems that there are many players who can't resist going there to make their best memories.

It stands to reason that the photo genre is actually not as popular as the video genre. In the photo category, the other miscellaneous categories are even more popular, and the team and scenery categories are popular. However, this year is a bit of a strange anomaly. Other miscellaneous categories have received extremely popular attention from players, and this attention has even affected the video category.

This reason actually has something to do with Ye Ci. In the team she was in when she and Liu Nian met that day, there was a team who was good at discovering gossip - yes, you are not mistaken, she is just a long moonlight.

At that time, she made videos of everything that Ye Ci and Liunian had and took a lot of photos.

And a set of photos that have attracted the attention of players is the continuous shot of Liu Nian and Ye Ci when they are about to end the duel. It clearly records how Liu Nian attacked Gongzi You, but was kicked down, and how he fell on the sand with Gongzi You. If the photos here are only clips of the duel between the two people, then the photos that follow are enough to arouse the player's conjecture.

The back photos are more than a dozen consecutive shots, but the angles of the characters in the scene are exactly the same. The only difference is the time recorded by the system on the photo, and the words under the photo in the long moonlight.

The scene is like this: Liunian is lying on the ground holding Gongzi You's ankle, and Gongzi Yu is also lying on the ground. The yellow sand around the two of them is rolling, and there is a desolate scenery.

And the words under the photo of the long moonlight are like this. The first one: "Childe You and Liunian have been lying on the floor for five seconds, but they haven't moved, and from the situation in my team, Childe You has not hung ......"

In the next dozen photos, the description is basically the same, but only time has changed. Especially the notes in the last few photos, which have already vented the unbearable gossip of the photographer in the long moonlight. She wrote: "What the hell are they doing there, what the hell are they talking about, I want to know, do you want to know?"

"Oh my God, isn't this a toppling, why are they lying on the ground all the time and not getting up? It's hard to see the two gods looking at the stars and the moon, talking about poetry and songs from the wind and snow, and then from trivial things to life ideals? Crazy, I want to know."

"How long are you going to lie down, if you have to lie down, can you stage some hot shots, don't just lie down and stand up, haven't you heard the audience's voice? We ask for more drama, we ask for more drama."

……

After these photos are sighed, the photos that follow are the photos of the two people standing up. By that time, the battle was over, and the two seemed to be going to say goodbye in opposite directions. At this time, the photo has this annotation: "Do you think this is the end of it? Did you come up with a post? Then you are definitely not a qualified gossip player to remember, the highlight is always at the end"

It is precisely because of this annotation that many players who are about to leave the post have been dragged back, and they have been patiently seeing the end of the photo.

The last photo is actually the scene of Liu Nian bending over to talk to Ye Ci, but because of the position of the long moonlight station, the shooting angle is different, which is easy to misunderstand. And there are only a few words under this photo: "It can only be understood, but not spoken." ”

That's the end of the photo.,But the long moonlight has made a statement.,This set of photos was just taken by myself.,If you want to watch the dynamics,You might as well go to the competition class of the video to find the video she sent at the same time.。

This was originally just a little gossip girl who couldn't help but be excited and shared a boring piece of gossip with all the players. But the screen is full of fictional plot stories, and the real events brought by such real characters are like a huge bomb suddenly exploding on the player, and the fluctuations caused by it can be described as turbulent waves.

Overnight, a hundred replies to a page of posts have turned over dozens of pages, and there is a tendency for geometric shapes to be stacked gradually.

And the reply is not lacking in explosive points.

Weakly raised his hand and asked, the last photo of them in I do not skip words.

"Spoilers upstairs"

"Highlights."

……

"The Commentary of God Who Took Pictures"

"Sure enough, it's full of adultery"

"Even the people of the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent can break through the resistance together, even Liunian and Gongzi You can do this, and in an instant, I believe in love again."

……

"I absolutely don't believe that Liunian is the top god in our Western Continent, such a person can take a fancy to Gongzi You, Gongzi You's whole body is the same as before and after, and Liunian is not a base, and it is impossible to find Gongzi You."

"Yes, we absolutely don't believe in this set of photos, you see that the last photo was only taken behind Gongzi You, but from our point of view, the two people seem to have something, but, there is absolutely nothing, you don't blaspheme our old age"

……

"Where is Gongzi You, it's not good, people are skinny and beautiful, which point is not worthy of this silver-haired bastard, do you think you Western Continent cattle? Tell you that this kind of character will not be wanted if it is given to our son-in-law."

"Supporting our Gongzi You definitely doesn't look down on the flow of years, you think, if the two of them team up, the equipment will clash to support Gongzi You, and the silver-haired gangsters who despise the Western Continent want to take this opportunity to fight our Eastern Continent's idea"

……

Any post, as long as it is too hot, can turn into a huge fight in the end. This post is no exception, from the beginning of exposing the gossip, it has developed into a player confrontation between the east and west continents, and the innocuous persuasion of the north and south continents has added fuel to the fire.

And when Ye Ci knew about it, it was a bit outdated. At that time, it had been three days since the players of the two continents were fighting each other, and she looked at the post and only felt that the world was dark. With the idea of saying a lot of mistakes, she didn't come out to clarify the matter at the request of the majority of gossip players, and Liu Nian didn't seem to have either.

In the face of the huge gossip enthusiasm of the players throughout the game, the two people in the heart of the vortex are surprisingly calm, as if they are dead. However, the more silent it is, the more uncomfortable it is for players to feel like a cat scratching.

Ye Ci thought that as long as he was silent like this, this group of boring players would get tired of this matter sooner or later, so he didn't care about them anymore. Anyway, in Ye Ci's heart, the clear person is self-purifying, she is just her, there is no need to live under the tongue of other players. What's more, she has more important things to do now.

It's just that Ye Ci never thought that at the end of this farce, Liu Nian was unwilling to jump out lonely.

In his post on that tall building, he posted three replies in a row.

The first is:Ah,The quality of the landlord's game warehouse is not very good.,The photos taken are obviously unclear.,Unprofessional~.

The second is: Why do you want to know so much about what I discussed with the little boy? Actually, it's just an inconspicuous little agreement.

The third is: In addition, did the landlord ask for the opinions of the parties when you posted videos and photos? If the boy agrees, I agree with both hands. If the boy objectes, be careful not to let me see you, or ......

It was these two replies that made the gossip photo incident that had already come to an end set off a new ** again, and this time** was more violent than the last one. It was so violent that Ye Ci had to unilaterally request the official to delete the post.

The reason for this is that the photos and videos were taken without their own consent at all, so they were asked to be deleted. This is actually completely possible to delete the post, but apparently the official guys are also deeply interested in this gossip.

When Ye Ci asked to delete the photo, the customer service who answered the phone actually asked quietly: "Gongziyou, are you really with Liunian I?" In the game. ”

Ye Ci almost screamed at that time: "I have to complain without your work number"

Frightened, Xiao hurriedly called his customer service manager to deal with such things, obviously, the customer service manager is much more skilled in dealing with these things than when he was young. He told Ye Ci that because there are two parties to the photo, he has to ask for the opinion of Liu Nian, and if Liu Nian agrees, the post will be deleted immediately, and if Liu Nian does not agree, he can only wait until the two people reach an agreement and they are dealing with it.

Such an answer made Ye Ci almost scold his mother. Where did she go to find Liunian, isn't this a clear cheat?

Therefore, in the end, Ye Ci did not get his wish, and this post became the tallest building of the Destiny Forum that year and went down in history. The end of the event came from the fact that the whole photo contest finally came to an end, and the long moonlight became the biggest winner.

She single-handedly won first place in the other categories of the photo category, with a generous prize money. And this video was originally the favorite to win the award in the competitive category, but because it was duplicated with the photo, it was not included in the award ranking. However, Long Moonlight won another special award for this post - the "Gossip of the Year Award".

If this is just a big winner in the long moonlight, then the most surprising thing is that the passing year was actually named the "Best Fanning Award" in this incident......

And Ye Ci also won an award - "The Most Silent Protagonist Award".

Although this award was officially given a very objective bonus in the end, Ye Ci was entangled in her heart, this was probably the first time in her life that she felt that money was hot. Especially when she saw the money in the mailbox, she really had a feeling that everything was sad.

She obviously didn't do anything, why is it that people are so afraid that she has done something heinous now?

Jelly has a very incisive opinion on this matter: "What do you care about so much." As long as the money is in hand, everything else is, don't mind. ”

Well, everything else is.

Therefore, although this incident made Ye Ci very crazy, in the end, it was really a fart. It's a little episode of her tense game life. Ye Ci has always been a person who is not very affected by the environment, so even if this matter turns the world upside down, it does not affect Ye Ci's footsteps in brushing the Order of the Dead and opening up the Mithril vein.

Just when the gossip incident was in an uproar, Ye Ci had already brushed out Bai Mo's suit. When Bai Mo saw this suit, his eyes were already straight, but the current Bai Mo level was only level forty-four, and there was still a long way to go until he put on this suit.

As for the search for the Mithril vein, Ye Ci did not slow down. It's just that in the previous life, she only knew the specific location of the Mithril Mine, but she didn't know how to enter the Mithril Vein, and, in the previous life, the Shengshi Guild never announced the secret of how to discover the Mithril Vein to the outside, so even if Ye Ci was standing outside the Mithril Vein, she still couldn't find a way to enter.

Sitting on a dead wood stump outside the Mithril vein, Ye Ci took out the wine he had brought with him and poured it into his mouth. She looked at the vein......

Of course, it's a very big mountain right now, and before long it's going to turn into a huge mine, and from there, the rarest and most precious ore in the game, Mithril, will be produced in abundance. There will always be all kinds of killings around this vein, and there will be all kinds of P's, and their purpose is the ore here.

Ye Ci could almost close his eyes and see the blood-stained roads that had taken place on this map in the previous life. And what about this life? Will these things happen again in this life? At that time, the prosperous era spent heavy troops to guard these ore veins, and it continued to cause players to rob and fight, so what about this life? The number of people who go up every day can't be compared to the prosperous world, so even if she discovers this Mithril vein, what method will Tian Tian Shang use to keep it?

The time was so tight that Ye Ci also felt unprecedented pressure.

Yes By].
