Chapter 240: The Imperial Capital Opens Up
After dealing with the goblin's affairs, Mu You took the list it had written down, left it with enough food and water, and then left.
However, before leaving, the goblin hurriedly grabbed Mu You, pointed to the half of the hill cut out of the space, and asked him if he could cut trees and pick stones.
Mu You looked at the mountain bag in the distance, and probably understood what the goblin meant, nodded, and said that the space of this backpack would be sent to him as a base in the future, and it could be tossed and transformed at will, but the premise was not to think about escaping.
Naturally, the goblin said yes again and again, it just wanted to dig stones to make a house, but it didn't dare to have so many ideas.
After dealing with the goblin matter, Mu You returned to the lock cylinder space, and at this time, Xiaoya's evolution light time had ended.
Mu You took a look around, there were no new small animal mutations today, but there was a change that surprised him even more: the war eagle has evolved!
The shadow warhawk, which had been stuck at the bottleneck of level 10 before, and had never been as immobile as a mountain, finally broke through the bottleneck after unremittingly shining the light of evolution for nearly a month, jumping from level 10 to level 11, not only increased its attack power and health slightly, but also added a new ability.
[Chain Lightning: The thunder blast released by the Shadow War Eagle will jump between nearby enemies, losing 20% of the power of the initial lightning each time, and will not repeat the strike on the same target, with a maximum of four jumps. 】
Thunder Impact has changed from a single damage to a group, jumping four times, that is, hitting a maximum of five targets each time, although the damage will be reduced gradually, but the total number is calculated, it is equivalent to tripling the damage of a lightning split, which is not a small increase.
At the same time, the warhawk broke through the bottleneck, which meant that there would be no obstacles before the fifteenth level.
Mu You glanced at the time, it was only seven o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early at midnight, so he could wait for the early morning to summon the war eagle to see if he could go straight to level 15. Initial website p://m.biquke.
After Xiaoya and Lin Xue were busy, they said goodbye and went home first, Mu Youmu saw the two leave, went out to solve dinner, and then went home to close the door of the store, went back to the house to make a few cards, and killed the time.
The 'Snowball Spell' and 'Repair as Before' that I just got two days ago at the meeting copied a spare card.
After the busy, the time had come to half past eleven in the middle of the night.
At this time, the weekly elf horn cooldown has been completed, Mu You took out his mobile phone, and the game was re-launched, let's take a look at the new tasks first.
[You blew the elven horn]
[The Dark Elf Queen, Fred Vault Dweller, has appeared in front of you and issued you a quest. 】
[Clean up the Dark Temple: The Dark Temple, located on the outskirts of the Dark City, was originally a place for the dark elves to worship the gods, but recently a group of goblins seem to have opened the passage at the other end of the temple, and the filthy goblins have occupied the temple and transformed it into a mine.
Because the goblins had set up a lot of daylight alchemy devices to drive out the dark elves, her people couldn't get close to it. So Fred wanted to be able to enter the temple crypt to clear the goblins and destroy the goblins' alchemy devices.
The Queen of the Dark Elves was once entrusted with a relic map fragment by a Fool Ancestor to give it to a qualified Fool Descendant, and if you can complete the task, she decides to give it to you. 】
[Reward: Map Fragment of the City of Eternal Night (Part 9).] 】
"Fragments of the ruins?"
Looking at the four paragraphs of text that popped up in the game one after another in one second, Mu You was a little surprised, and after hurriedly scanning the content, he went back in time.
Today, the horn was blown for the first time, and it was the Queen of Darkness who came out, and the task was to clean up the temple and fight against the goblins, the difficulty was unknown, and Mu You was not very interested, because the distance was too far, and he had to run to a ghost place like the Dark City, but the final reward made him have to face this task.
A map fragment: Nine in the City of Eternal Night......
Mu You touched his chin, what really surprised him was that this dark queen actually had a fragment in her hand, and looking at the text, this was not picked up by herself, but entrusted to her by the Fool Ancestor himself......
From this point of view, the elves and the Fool Ancestors really have some secret relationship.
The elven horn in his hand is also a testament to this. As a hidden relic, the elven horn is actually a kind of communicator to connect the fool and the elf clan.
The Father of the Fool gave a fragment to the Queen of Darkness, presumably in the hope that the owner of the Horn would inherit the fragment first. Of course, if the Horn Owner does not complete the task well enough and is considered incompetent by the Elven Queen, she will also find other targets......
But in this way, there is no need to rush this task.
This task is hanging here, he doesn't take it, and the task will not be removed in a short time, so there is no need to worry about this fragment being found by others.
Thinking of this, Mu You reactivated the horn and prepared to take a look at other tasks first.
It was refreshed seven or eight times in a row, and the tasks of the Forest Priest and the Solar Elf were successfully brushed.
As expected, the content of the two missions is still the same as before, one is to explore the dream land, and the other is to capture the abyss wyvern alive, and the content and rewards have not changed at all.
However, after a few times, he never saw the mission of the fairy fairy.
At first, Mu You thought it was because the number of refreshes was too small, and it didn't come out randomly, so he continued to backtrack.
However, after more than forty times in a row, the quest always switches between the other three elves, and the fairy fairy never appears from beginning to end.
"What's the situation?"
Mu You was a little apprehensive in her heart, didn't she still need pollen urgently last week, did she increase the price of the reward?
This week, Mu You's pollen was ready for her, and she didn't come out to post the task......
Could it be...... Hung up, right?
Mu You couldn't help but think of this possibility.
But when I think about it, I don't think it's right, it's just a lack of pollen, at most I lose the power of luck, but it's a representative of the goblin clan, and I have a deep heritage, so why don't I have the power of luck because I don't have the power of luck, and people are gone, right?
Mu You refreshed it dozens of times without giving up, but the text of the fairy fairy was never seen, and it seemed that she really wouldn't appear today.
Helpless, Mu You had no choice but to turn around and take over the task of the Sun Elf first.
The fairy fairy pigeon, the remaining two tasks are not something he can complete in a short time, but this task of the daylight elf, he already has an eyebrow.
The meeting a few days ago had agreed with the Lord of the Abyss that she would bring an Abyss Wyvern over next week, and according to her tone at the time, this matter should not be too difficult.
[You have accepted the quest 'Catch the Wyvern Alive': Travel to the Great Abyss of Lochmadi within a week, capture an Abyssal Wyvern alive, and bring it back.] Reward: A phoenix egg. 】
After taking over the task, Mu You put away the horn and saw that the time was about to reach twelve o'clock, so he let the character teleport to Anning Village, ready to go to the old cat store manager and take care of its business.
[After a dizzy feeling, you return to the watchman's cabin.] 】
[You leave the cabin and choose to go to the village gate......]
[Before you came to the entrance of the village, you saw the owl shop not far from the village gate. 】
"You walk towards the owl store, ready to buy something.] However, when you get closer, you find that a large number of fools have gathered densely around the store, and the three goods windows of the old cat shopkeeper are already empty. 】
[Obviously, you're late. The goods were snapped up earlier today by the swarming fools, and at this moment these people gathered around were waiting for the store to refresh in the early morning. 】
“emmm……”
Mu You was speechless, forgetting that the open beta is now over, and the Arcane Tower has become invalid, and players are no longer restricted in their movements, and they can enter the city and village at will.
In other words, now not only monsters have to grab, but even buy things to queue up to scramble.
There was no way, Mu You had no choice but to let the characters stand next to the store and wait.
With a pocket watch in his hand, he is still very confident in grabbing things, but the process will be more dirty......
I hung up in front of the store for a while, and the time quickly came to midnight.
[The hour hand in the store is dialed to zero, and you see an owl falling from the sky on time, clawing a delicate leather suitcase and falling into the interior of the owl store. 】
[The old cat shopkeeper took the suitcase as soon as possible and opened it on the spot. 】
[You hurriedly look inside, and see ten items placed in the box, namely: Star Spirit Dictionary, Speed Boots, Poison Dagger, Invisibility Cloak, ......]
[The old cat store manager selected six products from them and took them out ......]
The last time he entered the door, Mu You remembered that there were only five items in the suitcase, and the old cat store manager chose three out of five.
This time, the owl brought twice as many goods as he saw last time, and the old cat store manager also doubled the number of goods selected at the same time.
But what Mu You couldn't understand was that among the ten items, there was not a single spell scroll?
[The old cat store manager put the six items in the cabinet and started today's sale. 】
[A large number of fools outside the window scrambled one after another, and almost instantly bought out the contents of the cabinet. 】
[You take a step slower, and when you look again, there are only six 'sold-out' shelves left in front of you......]
Mu You: "......"
These are all so rich?
Among today's goods, there is even a rare-grade 'Life Talisman' worth 1,000 years of life, which automatically generates a shield every hour, and things of this level are actually snatched away in an instant!
Counting the lifespan of that golden apple, Mu You now has a huge amount of money in his hand with a lifespan of 3021, but even if he wants to buy this thing, he has to weigh it carefully.
However, these players in front of them, who had less than a level 10 mark on their heads, actually made such a bold move......
Mu You can only sigh, there are still many rich people!
Although it is not easy to trade a large amount of lifespan on the earth now, as long as they are willing to bid for it, there are still people who are willing to sell a few years or more than ten years of life in exchange for getting rich overnight.
Nine days have passed since the public beta, and even the scattered collection life of those capital parties is now enough to accumulate a very large number.
These rich people now do not lack lifespan, but lack ranks, magic and props. Now that the Arcane Tower is gone, and the Otherworldly Shop is open to the Fools, it's not hard to understand why they're so arrogant.
It's no wonder that even the owl store has doubled its goods today, it seems that these otherworldly merchants are still clear in their minds, and they have long expected that today may usher in a wave of shopping frenzy, and they have temporarily increased their shipments.
At the end of the rush to buy, a group of players finished buying things, but they all walked away to busy themselves, and soon only Mu You's game characters were left on the scene.
Mu You didn't leave in a hurry because he still wanted to talk to the old cat manager.
[You walked to no man's land and switched the mystery man skin. 】
You're back next to the store again. 】
[The old cat shopkeeper finished selling the goods, and was already packing up his things and preparing to close the door, when he saw your arrival, he hurriedly stopped and ran to greet you, informing you that today's goods have been sold out, and asking if you need anything. 】
[You asked the old cat shopkeeper about the sales in the past two days. 】
[The old cat shopkeeper told you that since the early hours of yesterday morning, orders from their owl business headquarters have surged, especially spell scrolls and magic experience pages, and dozens of large orders came in a row yesterday, ordering all the scroll inventory in the headquarters warehouse in recent years......]
No wonder there are no spell scrolls, even the scrolls of the owl headquarters have been snatched up!
Are rich people so crazy?
But after thinking about it carefully, Mu You also understood.
These capital forces are not spending money indiscriminately, on the contrary, snapping up spell scrolls is one of the most profitable ways at present, because equipment cannot be mass-produced, and buying one piece is the value of one piece, but magic, there is a way to copy it in batches.
As long as you have a spell and enough pages of experience, you can raise a certain magic to LV5, and then, if you can get some magic teaching equipment, you can open a school on the earth, and teach magic to others in large quantities without consumption, and the benefits that can be generated in this process are unimaginable!
[You ask the old cat store manager, when will there be a new spell scroll for sale?] 】
[The old cat shopkeeper tells you that the production of spell scrolls is not easy, and it requires a senior engraver with LV5 magic, consuming a lot of experience and time to make, even the most skilled engraving mage will take a week to make a low-level spell scroll, and it will take longer for intermediate and high-level scrolls. 】
["At this time next week, there should be a batch of spell scrolls shipped, you can come and wait in advance, but please be prepared for the price increase."] According to today's market conditions, the price of the next spell scroll and the book of tips may increase by more than 50%. "The old cat store manager has revealed some internal information to you about the Chamber of Commerce for the sake of your mysterious identity. 】
"Will you ...... next week?"
Mu You shook his head helplessly, there is no way, the scroll is sold out, once a day becomes once a week, but there is still a chance to prostitute it for nothing. And the store manager can tell him this kind of inside information, which can be regarded as a very face-saving thing.
As for Mu You, who has increased the price or something, it doesn't matter, anyway, he buys it for zero yuan.
[The old cat shopkeeper sees that you seem to be paying special attention to spell scrolls, so he proposes to you: "If you want to learn magic, the most affordable way is not to buy a scroll, but to go to the imperial capital or a magic academy in several big cities, and learn magic through lectures, the cost is only one-third of the price of the scroll, or even less. ”】
The old cat store manager finally gave him a good suggestion, but unfortunately this suggestion is equal to nothing for Mu You, no matter how low-cost magic is, it can't be more fragrant than his white prostitution.
However, the other party was also kind, Mu You controlled the character to say goodbye politely, left the entrance of the village, returned to the watchman hut, and then teleported directly to the imperial capital through the teleportation array of the hut.
[In the dizziness of teleportation, you appear in the underground river of the imperial capital.] 】
[You switched the soothsayer skin and rode the goblin submarine......]
[You drove the submarine into the jet road, and under the action of the huge jet, rushed into the reservoir on the east side of the imperial capital......]
This road Mu You has personally experienced twice, so there is no sense of confusion at the moment, and after one operation, he successfully let the character drive the submarine, through the river of the imperial capital, and swim all the way to the commercial street he passed by before.
[You anchored at 'Four Leaves Street' in the center of the imperial capital, and left the water and went ashore. 】
[Four Leaves Street is one of the oldest commercial streets in the entire empire, named because the entire street is shaped like a four-leaf clover, the corners are scattered in four directions, and it is bordered by the four major magic schools in the imperial capital. 】
[A number of famous brand stores in the Star Spirit Realm have branches on Siye Street, which is the most prosperous area in the entire imperial capital, and there is no one, but the excessively prosperous business has also made the land price here increase day by day, which indirectly leads to the goods here being about 20%-30% higher than ordinary shops. 】
To Mu You's relief, the curfew in the imperial capital seemed to have stopped, and in the middle of the night, the street was still open normally.
You switched the Mystifier skin. 】
[You step into the Four Leaves Street and see the four shops closest to you, you choose to go to ......]
Five options: Lady Lisa's Robes Shop, Magical Beauty Shop, McDons's Wand Shop, Item Recycling Shop, and Move On.
Mu You chose to 'move on', preparing to poke out all the nearby shops first.
It turned out that he thought too much, this street was much bigger than he imagined, and the number of shops with it exceeded two hundred, and he had just finished exploring one of the four leaves, and his physical strength was exhausted.
However, even among the more than 30 stores that have been discovered, he has already found many store names that interest him.
Mu You manipulated the character to take two steps back, and first entered a 'Gugu Owl Shop' on the left.
You have entered the Gugu Owl Shop, which is one of the only owl specialty stores on Four Leaves Street, where you can buy all the common varieties of owls on the market. 】
[Because of the distinguished status represented by your mysterious skin, the clerk warmly entertained you. 】
[Accompanied by a clerk, you go deeper into the store and see rows of bird cages displayed on the shelves, each with an owl imprisoned. 】
[You saw the gray forest owl, the long-eared owl, the barn, the silver owl, the brown owl, the grass owl, ......]
A large number of owl names popped up, and Mu You clicked on the text one by one to check the prices and descriptions.
Most of the cheap owls are sold for 15-20 years, and some are of good condition or good breed for 20-40 years.
The most expensive of them all is the silver owl.
The silver owls in this shop, depending on their condition, are sold for between 34-50 years, which is more than twice as much as the average owl!
Seeing this, Mu You also counted.
In the Astral Spirit Realm, although creatures can consume one year's lifespan to resurrect after being killed, not all consumed lifespans can be obtained by the slain.
To plunder the lifespan of other creatures, two conditions need to be met:
First, the soul strength of the slain creature should be high enough. Soul strength is generally linked to body size, and those life forms that are too small, such as various non-demonic insects, ordinary grass plants, trees, etc., even if they are killed, they cannot plunder the lifespan.
The second is that the slain creature must have sufficient predatory ability and aggression. Gentle creatures that have no attack or lack attack power will not gain lifespan even if they are killed. For example, these owls, such as the donkey he brought back earlier, and even chocobos, are neutral creatures. As housewives, they do not participate in combat, and killing them does not have a lifespan.
The magic owl itself has a very short lifespan, only about five to ten years, and the owl's food is all small creatures such as insects, so it cannot be obtained through daily hunting.
Therefore, the wizards bought owls, and at the same time feeding them food, they also had to provide them with a lifespan every year, which was not a small cost.
But even so, wizards basically have an owl in their hands, because owls are not only pets in the astral realm, but also messengers and delivery people.
Because of this, the silver owl is just needed for these wizards, but it is not very attractive to humans, after all, it looks too similar to the owl of the earth, and the ability to send messages is not used on the earth.
The silver owl eggs that Mu You obtained were not intended to be sold on Earth, but were going to come to the other world to open up sales.
After understanding the price, Mu You ignored the clerk's retention, left the owl shop, and turned his head into the 'Black Cat Magic Pet Shop' on the side, which was his real goal today.
