Obviously, Jiang Ke's invitation caused Cui Jue considerable trouble.

The latter frowned, a rather embarrassed look on his face, his lips pursed tightly, and he did not say a word.

Jiang Ke didn't urge her, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Cui Jue looked at Jiang Ke with obvious apology in his tone.

"Sorry, not right now."

"Why?"

“……”

It can be seen that after Cui Jue went through a fairly obvious psychological struggle, she approached Jiang Ke and whispered in Jiang Ke's ear:

"When the ash volcano is bulldozed, I'll be honest with you."

Jiang Ke's pupils shrank, and his eyes were full of shock as he looked at her.

"You ......"

Cui Jue raised a finger, put it in front of his lips, and said:

"Sorry, it's forbidden."

Jiang Ke's mood at this time is indeed chaotic, and Ash Volcano is the "final boss" in the later stages of this version. Like the Silent Night Keep, which will appear in the next version, it is a gathering place full of intelligent monsters.

But...... She remembers that it wasn't until late in the version that a large number of monsters such as fire demons and firebirds suddenly appeared that attracted the attention of players.

The land of flames, covered in flames, was filled with monsters made of all kinds of flames. They are not of a low level, and they also have a special entry such as [Flame Forge], which has a very high combat power, but the drop rewards are also very generous.

Not only are there piles of all kinds of rare materials, but also equipment with various rare affixes can be found everywhere, and there are even [Flame Essence] and [Flame Essence] that can directly increase the level and attributes.

But this is only the outer area of the Ember Volcano, and there are more advanced monsters in the inner ring area.

But Jiang Ke remembers it very clearly. Even if I don't know how many players have attacked the land of flames together, they have not been able to capture the inner ring area.

Then, one day, the ash volcano strangely vanished, followed by the announcement of the third version of the update.

However, that's all in the future, how does Cui Jue know?

Cui Jue met Jiang Ke's suspicious gaze and took a small ball of light from the hand of the divine envoy.

"Well, look at this thing."

The ball of light was placed by her on the small table in front of Jiang Ke, and the spherical halo like the closing of wings dissipated, and the things in the ball of light also appeared in front of Jiang Ke.

It was a small firebird about the size of a quail, with a faint golden flame burning on its finely shredded fluff, and although it was still small, it already had a sense of magnificence and nobility that could not be concealed.

【Firebird of Origin】

【Elemental Creature, Flame Forge, Source Fire Blessing】

[Description: A strange life born from the ash volcano, it has a high level of intelligence.] Although it is only a juvenile, it has the blessing of the primordial fire in its body, and its future achievements are immeasurable.

[Extra information about the Landlord Edition: It wasn't supposed to be here, the door hasn't been opened yet, but it was somehow stolen.] Please note that its mother is very angry! 】

[Note: Its mind is affected by some divine power, and it will forget its past.]

Jiang Ke just wanted to say something, but he was suddenly attracted by something, and he was silent for a while.

"What a beautiful bird."

Liu Yue's red eyes were shining, staring at the little bird, and even out of his heart.

"It's like a little chicken, why do you like this kind of chicken, bird, or something."

Aunt Lin was helpless.

"It's good-looking, then I'll give it to you, Sister Liu."

Cui Jue said with a smile, and by the way, he also held Jiang Ke's hand and squeezed it.

Jiang Ke swallowed the words on the side of his mouth.

"Really? Then I'll give you money......" Liu Yuehong was saying, so she covered her forehead and said helplessly: "I forgot that you are not short of money."

"You don't need money, it's just a casual catch, anyway, we'll be roommates in the future, just a pet."

Cui Jue waved his hand very boldly, a very generous and empathetic look.

Jiang Ke watched Liu Yuehong pick up the bird with joy, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Although she didn't know what the difference between Liu Yuehong's true knowledge and her own was, she couldn't see the sentence "its mother was very angry".

But it doesn't matter.

Humans and monsters can't live in harmony after all.

As for Cui Jue, Jiang Ke also has to think about it.

"Okay, I've given me enough food and money to eat, Ake, give me a second batch of goods, right?"

"How much do you want?"

"I want as much as you can give, and by the way, I can help you bring the new people under your hands."

"Ugh." Jiang Ke looked at Li Yi and asked:

"Would you like to go with her?"

"Yes, Sister Cui, I will follow you in the future!"

Li Yi was quite upright and said immediately.

"Sister, when will you leave, I can also pack up my things."

"Don't worry, I'll go first, and my subordinates will come to pick you up in two days."

"Ake, you have to bring me some fruit this time, by the way, can I buy a scroll back to the city?"

"Okay."

Jiang Ke simply agreed one by one, then reached out to open the door and took out a spare bag from the warehouse that was specially designed to hold grain.

"I'll give you this pocket too, it's easy to use."

Cui Jue was not polite, he took it directly, and after checking the items in the pocket, he transferred enough money to Jiang Ke.

"Then I'll take my leave, I still have something to do."

Just like the last time she was in a hurry, this time she also took the goods and left.

Jiang Ke stood outside the apartment, watching Xiaoguang fly into the sky with her waist around her waist, and there was always a feeling that she was hiding from herself......

It's like the awkward situation that you want to see but don't dare to see.

But she said that she wanted to sleep with herself, what was the reason for this?

If the silver-haired boy he saw in that copy was a riddler, then Jiang Ke felt that he was not as good as Cui Jue.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, I'd better worry about this task......"

Jiang Ke sighed, looking at the tasks that appeared on the panel in front of him, and felt very melancholy in his heart.

The mission came when I met the firebird, as if it had been deliberately arranged-——

【Ember of Doom】

【Side Quests】

[Description: You unexpectedly saw a bird from the volcano, and you found that the ash volcano did not appear suddenly, but already existed.]

The land of ashes is filled with unwarranted destruction and irritable creatures. But in the center of the volcano is a sacred place of fire full of life.

It is guarded by a giant firebird king, guarding the treasures left behind by its owner.

It was a shard, a shard of a card. 】

[Mission Limited: Ash Volcano Appears to Ember Volcano Hides]

[Quest Requirements: Get the shards and kill the Firebird King]

[Reward: Ember Volcano Facility]

In fact, when he saw this facility, Jiang Ke had no reason to refuse.

The gacha card in the vending machine may not have much possibility of obtaining the facility, and it is estimated that in most cases it will be given in this way.

Not to mention the fragment of a card...... Could it be a "paradise of permanence"?

"Speaking of which, I think I've seen three colorful cards... So what are the remaining two? Or do I know of five, but there are more than five? ”

Jiang Ke thought carefully as he walked towards the apartment.
