Chapter 30: The Genius Mechanic
"I'll take you, but you have to accept one of my conditions. ”
Just as Li Xiao was at a loss for what to do, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, a strong voice came from behind him.
"What do you call it?"
Li Xiao looked at this twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, and never mentioned the conditions.
"You can just call me Kuroko!" A bright smile appeared on his dark face, which accentuated the whiteness of his teeth.
"Oh, Kuroko, can you tell me what the curse of the 'Machine Island' is all about?"
From the panicked eyes of those fleeing villagers, Li Xiao already felt that the 'mechanical island' was not simple.
"More than 1,000 years ago, in our 'Luoxia Village', there was a great genius, he comprehended a very unique set of skills, that is, 'mechanical manufacturing'; its 'mechanical manufacturing technology' is different from ordinary mechanical manufacturing techniques, the things made by others are dead, but the things he creates are alive; he can not only make automatic walking means of transport, but more terrifyingly, he can make mechanical soldiers who can fight, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the village chief of 'Luoxia Village' at that time. ”
"That's for sure, being able to make mechanical warriors directly threatens the authority of the village chief, and it also brings insecurity to the entire village," Li Xiao sighed and interjected.
Genius is always hated by others, this ability is indeed very amazing, in fact, if it is used well, it can definitely bring amazing wealth to 'Luoxia Village'.
But looking at the eyes, the appearance looks harmonious and quiet, but the villagers of this 'Luoxia Village' are dressed in tatters, and they know that they are poor to death.
It's just a beautiful view of this seaside fishing village.
Also, with the virtue that they were scrambling to hire just now, Li Xiao already knew what kind of state this 'Luoxia Village' was.
He didn't understand, with such a unique natural advantage by the sea, how could he be so miserable?
"The living brother guessed correctly, this did cause panic among the village chiefs, so the village chief forbade him to make anything, otherwise, he would be expelled from the 'Luoxia Village'. ”
"In this case, I'm afraid something will happen," Li Xiao shook his head.
For a great genius, if you prevent the development of his talents, you are cutting off his hands, how can he listen to you?
But if you rebel, you will touch the supreme authority of the village chief, and it is strange that nothing happens.
"Brother Living is really like a god," Kuroko nodded with emotion, and continued: "Don't let him make anything, this genius can't bear it at all, so he has to choose to leave Luoxia Village; ”
"Your sister, isn't it just a girl?" Li Xiao said secretly.
I think so, but he actually understands very well that without this elopement, there would be no next mission plot.
Obviously, the map that the system rewards is to guide yourself to this hidden mission.
Li Xiao didn't say anything this time, but listened to Heizi continue: "The village chief was naturally furious, and asked around about the whereabouts of these two people, and finally found out that these two people hid on a nameless island; ”
"It should be a tragedy later," Li Xiao sighed.
"That's right, the two came back happily, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was a powerful mercenary group invited by the village chief; that battle was extremely miserable, the mercenary group was wiped out, and the 'Luoxia Village' was also affected by the fish pond, which was miserable; but although the genius mechanic was seriously injured, he still fled with his beloved woman. ”
"What happened later?" Li Xiao couldn't help asking.
"What happened later is a bit unbelievable," Kuroko said with sad eyes: "Within two days, the entire sea area of 'Luoxia Village' was as if it had been cursed, and it was almost impossible to catch fish, and the people of 'Luoxia Village', as long as they approached the nameless island, their bodies would festering and die; what was even more terrifying was that the people of 'Luoxia Village' seemed to have been lowered their heads, and for more than a thousand years, they could not get out of this area for half a step; slowly, no one dared to approach that island, and some people called it ' Mechanical Island', but more people, also called it 'Dead Island'. ”
"And since then, that genius and the daughter of the village chief have never appeared again, and the people of 'Luoxia Village' have also been confused by this curse for more than a thousand years, and the number of people is getting fewer and fewer, and their lives are getting poorer and poorer, right?" Li Xiao said calmly.
"Brother Huo, you are really a god," Heizi looked at Li Xiao in surprise, and with that expression, he knew that Li Xiao had guessed completely right.
"God, you're big," Li Xiao scolded secretly.
If that machine still appeared, your 'Luoxia Village' would have been destroyed a long time ago, and if the curse of 'Luoxia Village' had been lifted, would they still be so poor?
As long as you have a little brain, you can think of it.
"Say, what conditions," Li Xiao asked about this topic.
Now that the ins and outs of the plot are clear, it's a very worthwhile task, as long as the level isn't cleared, whatever you want.
"I can send you to the vicinity of the 'Machine Island', but you must promise me to find a way to lift this curse," Kuroko said earnestly.
"You just sent me to the vicinity of the 'Machinery Island', but I want to help you lift the curse of more than a thousand years, and I will suffer too much, right?" Li Xiao replied angrily.
"If you can really help us lift the curse, I'm willing to step aside and let you be the head of this 'Luoxia Village'," Kuroko's expression didn't seem to be a joke at all.
"Are you the village chief of this 'Luoxia Village'?" Li Xiao was a little surprised, so young, it seems that in people's imagination, the village chief is synonymous with the elderly.
"Yes, I am the village chief of 'Luoxia Village', and the village chief in the story I just told you is my ancestor," Kuroko sighed.
"Your ancestors, it seems, don't seem to be as sensible as you," Li Xiao laughed.
"Yes, it's because my ancestor committed an irreparable mistake, that's why I have to find a way to atone for him now," a trace of loneliness flashed in Kuroko's eyes.
"But it still doesn't work, I'm still too bad," Li Xiao smiled, and shook his head into a rattle: "Look at what your village has become poor, and when you become the head of this village, can you ignore them? You have to take care of food and drink, and you have to find a way to make them live like a person! This is called a benefit? It is clearly a punishment! I said the village chief of Heizi, you are smart enough, and you want to throw such a mess at me unconsciously." ”
"If you can take these into account, it means that I am not wrong," Kuroko's face showed an excited expression, and he hurriedly said: "Although we only have more than 200 people in Luoxia Village, I tell you that they all have the ability, but they are only closed by this damn curse, lack of resources, and can't leave, so they will fall into such a situation;
Kuroko continued to lobby, and at the same time, he unknowingly put on a high hat for Li Xiao.
"Then your village chief, do you have an alchemist and a cook?" Li Xiao quickly asked.
"Not only that, but there are also two grandmaster-level pharmacists and a grandmaster-level cook," Kuroko replied proudly.
"So powerful, who did they learn from?" Li Xiao was shocked.
Your sister, although I also thought that there would be high-level life class NPCs in "Firmament", but I never thought that there would be one who would reach the grandmaster level, and this is still the beginning of the opening of "Firmament".
"There's no way, this damn curse has made this area resource-poor, and you can't leave half a step, in order to survive; if you get sick, you have to find a way to refine things that are not medicinal herbs into pills, and if you don't want to be starved to death, you have to find a way to make food from things that you can't eat; for more than a thousand years, the villagers of this 'Luoxia Village' have naturally developed a unique set of alchemy and cooking skills," Kuroko shook his head helplessly.
This is not boasting, but telling the sorrow of 'Luoxia Village' for thousands of years.
"Okay, deal," Murong Xiaotian nodded heavily.
Even if it's for the sake of your own shop, it's definitely worth the risk.
What did he Li Xiao enter "The Sky" for? Isn't it just for money?
Isn't it all about digging out hidden professions and trying to get 'sky skills' in every possible way?
And for what? Or money.
As for the team, the team, the competition for "Firmament", or what your sister's national teams compete in "Firmament", it has nothing to do with him.
Although the game mode of Firmament is divided by race, it is not divided into any national game area, as is the case with many games.
But there is no doubt that any country will organize a team to enter "Firmament", and in the end, it will still develop into a situation where teams from various countries compete with each other.
But Li Xiao didn't have the leisure or the energy, he was a poor class, he was a ****, he had to work hard to earn money to repay his aunt who raised their brothers and sisters with hard work, and his money was used to treat his sister's legs with paralyzed feet.
Just for this, even at the risk of being beaten back to level zero, he Li Xiao had to block it.
"Great," Kuroko showed an excited look again, and slapped his palms with a "snap": "Then when are we leaving?"
"Now," Li Xiao spat out two sonorously.
"Don't you need to prepare?" Kuroko was stunned.
"Not required"
"It seems that the living brothers are the masters of the arts. ”
"Big you, what do you prepare?" Li Xiao had a feeling of wanting to cry in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked relaxed and said: "I said Heizi, can you not call me Brother Huo, why do I sound so awkward?"
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Ghost!"
"Eh!" Li Xiao was speechless, so he had to wave his hand and say, "Forget it, whatever you want to call it!"
Damn, the three words 'live to see the hell' don't seem to sound good............
