The completion of the task is indeed a gratifying thing, but it is in the matter of the task reward that Ding Zhu feels quite aggrieved, she looked at a gold coin in her hand, and looked at the tavern owner with wide eyes: "This is my reward for this mission?" ”

"Of course, this is your reward, well, in fact, there are more than that, there are some, just now your cat ordered something, I will directly deduct it from your reward."

As for whether Zhenbai had wasted money again, Ding Zhu didn't want to pursue it anymore, so she could only ask the tavern owner with a sense of powerlessness: "Is that all?" Is that all I get paid for this mission? ”

"Of course it's more than that, but your mission is special, I need to calculate it for you." Saying that, the tavern owner took out a handful of black beads from somewhere, the abacus seemed to have been used for some years, and the abacus beads crackled in the impact, and they were unexpectedly good in Ding Zhu's ears.

"This is what you should have been paid for this mission." The tavern owner pulled out a number on the abacus and motioned for Ding Zhu to look over, she glanced at it and found that there were quite a lot of numbers.

But then I listened to the boss while telling clearly while pulling the abacus beads very loudly: "There are extraordinary boxes to be obtained in this task, but you haven't even found one, in this case, the endless world is going to deduct your gold coins, as a kind of compensation for itself, and then, after the mission is over, you don't even find a piece of valuable equipment, the same ones are also subject to gold coins, and this one, you have a bet in the mission, you win, This one could add a little bit of something, well, and this...... That ......"

The tavernkeeper's mouth was quite reasonable, up and down, crackling but for a while, he actually explained everything clearly, and Ding Zhu looked confused when she heard it, she couldn't help but think, is there a box in this task? Why didn't she find any of them? But all of this has to be deducted? So why didn't you make it clear at first?

In short, after the tavern owner sorted out all the accounts one by one, Ding Candle finally found that the boss had given her more than a dozen silver coins, which she used to make up an integer of gold coins, and she couldn't help but feel unprecedented sadness for her task: "I've been busy for so long and almost even my life, why do I only have one gold coin left?" It makes me feel so frustrated. ”

The tavern owner stretched out his hand and touched the back of Zhenbai's neck as if comforting, and Zhenbai actually narrowed his eyes comfortably and began to enjoy this touch, and that intoxicated look made Ding Zhu want to throw her directly on the road outside to fend for herself.

"This cat is pretty good." The tavernkeeper flew in.

Ding Zhu was still immersed in the sadness that his mission was equal to going short, and the biggest gain was only the disappearance of DBUFF who failed the mission, and when she heard the tavernkeeper's statement, she just nodded indiscriminately and snorted, but then she paused, blinked and looked at the tavernkeeper, if she remembered correctly, this was the eleventh time since she completed the task and sat here, the tavern owner mentioned the tavern in the conversation.

He's been talking about cats all the time, is there any truth to that?

Ding Zhu couldn't figure it out for himself, so he could only ask, "Excuse me, is there anything different about this cat?" Why do you keep mentioning cats? Do you like cats a lot? ”

"Oh, I'm a fan of machine spirits."

"What did you say?" It was the first time that Ding Zhu had heard this word, and the strangeness made her concentrate all her thoughts at once, and she looked at the tavern owner and asked word by word.

"Machine Spirit." The tavernkeeper let go of the action of continuing to stroke Mashiro's neck, but Mashiro looked very dissatisfied, and it still arched under the tavernkeeper's palm, hoping that the man would continue to stroke him.

"What is a machine spirit?"

Ding Candle's rhetorical question made the tavern owner a little surprised, he looked at Ding Candle with wide eyes, and Ding Candle's black and white eyes honestly said that she just didn't understand the emotion that made the tavern owner finally know that the person in front of him really didn't know.

The tavern owner was worthy of having seen the world, even if his heart was full of all kinds of surprises, but soon he restrained his emotions and smiled at Ding Candle: "Don't you know? ”

"What should I know?"

"I thought you should know, after all, as soon as every resetter enters the Endless World, his machine spirit will tell her about the general basics of the Endless World, and will also tell the Resetter of his identity."

"You mean the identity of the machine spirit?" Ding Zhu felt that she had heard it in a fog, and she didn't know the meaning of the tavern owner's words at all, and she even felt from the bottom of her heart that she knew the boss's words when they were separated, why did they not understand it at all when they were together?

"Of course."

"You say it's a machine spirit?" Ding Zhu once again pointed to the true white in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes."

"Isn't it a pet that only eats and drinks?"

"No, it's a machine spirit." The tavern owner was extremely patient, and he was not bored by Ding Candle's question of tossing back and forth, but still responded with a smile.

"Good." Ding Zhu sighed, although she still didn't know what a machine spirit was, but just listening to these two words seemed to be much more powerful than the word pet, she sat on the stool and hesitated for a while, before asking again: "I still don't know what a machine spirit is." ”

The tavern owner was not surprised by Ding Candle's problem, he even poured a glass of wine and sent it to Ding Candle, and then very carefully began to explain to Ding Candle what this thing was.

His explanation was very colloquial, and it was easy for Ding Zhu to figure it out.

It turns out that after each resetter enters the Endless World, the Endless World will give the Resetter a chance to choose a machine spirit, which is probably provided after completing the initial mission, and at that time, the resetter can choose a variety of machine spirits according to the direction they want to develop in the future.

To put it bluntly, a machine spirit is a kind of spirit that resides in the weapon of the resetter, and according to their own attributes, this machine spirit can also exert a variety of powerful attributes for the weapon of the reset.

The so-called machine spirit is the spirit that dwells in weapons.

However, Ding Zhu didn't remember that he had such a mission choice after completing the first mission, and the tavern owner laughed: "That's a machine spirit that each resetter has already been assigned a machine spirit when they first came into contact with the endless world, although the machine spirit can be re-selected, but under normal circumstances, the resetter will not choose to change the machine spirit. ”

……

"Excuse me, what you said won't be replaced, in fact, it should be that the resetter doesn't know how to replace it at all?"

"Hmm, is there a difference?"
