Chapter 256: The Fragment Carrier at Hand
After dealing with the forum, Mu You tried to hand over one of the fragments to one of the skeleton soldiers on the ship.
As a result, the arrow guidance on the map fragment is still there, which means that once the guidance function is turned on, it can no longer be turned off.
After confirming this, Mu You manipulated the character to teleport to the vampire's tomb, leaving one of the fragments in the secret room at the top of the tomb.
This was the safest place to store the debris other than the one he had with him. If others want to enter, they must first drink the Fountain of Damned, and secondly, they have to break through the blockade of the layers of high-level monsters in the tomb, which is almost impossible to do with the current strength of the players.
He always carries the other shard with him, so that the two shards will normally point in each other's direction, and if the direction of one piece changes, it means that someone may have entered the vicinity of the two locations, and he needs to be vigilant.
This is the end of the fragmentation matter.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Xue and Xiaoya came to work in the store as usual, and the three of them also started a new day of busyness.
Today, Friday, tomorrow is the scheduled opening time.
Mu You has announced the news through the APP of the pet store before, and all the preparations must be made today, and the workload is still not small.
Xiaoya ran to the lock cylinder space to shine the light of evolution on the animals.
Lin Xue was in front of the computer at the front desk, and got in touch with his old classmate Song Wenjing, saying that he was going to embed a professional magical beast database into the APP.
Mu You came to the zoo space alone.
Today, in the zoo, ten drudger robots are working in an orderly manner, in addition to two logging robots and one more advanced engineering robot.
This is all the robots that have been refined so far, and they have all been requisitioned by Mu You to build a zoo.
Mu You only needs to use the levitation spell to transport objects and materials to the right place, and leave the rest of the work to the robot.
He uses the logging robots as carpenters, and all the wood in their hands will be cut into the right shape with great efficiency.
Engineering robots are even more powerful, proficient in welding and repairing construction, basically you only need to prepare the materials for it, and then explain the required architectural style to it, and it can create the building you imagine in a blink of an eye.
The rest of the hard labor robots are walking with Chaplin-like steps, constantly busy in the space, giving hands to the three high-level robots, and all the projects are progressing in an orderly manner.
After a busy morning, the zoo finally got a prototype.
At this time, Xiaoya's light time had already ended, and Mu You transferred the animals that will participate in the exhibition tomorrow to the zoo backpack one by one.
The little animals all looked at this new space with novelty and apprehension, and then came to the designated area in turn under the guidance of Mu You.
Magical animals can communicate with each other because of this advantage, and they can directly divide the territory and don't have to worry about them fighting.
More than a dozen rabbits and rats cultivated under the light of Xiaoya's evolution, as well as salamanders, ferrets, moon beasts, chacarons, and stags brought back from the Academy of Sciences, were all brought to different areas in different categories.
In these areas, they have prepared specially made pet kennels and pet sheds, all of which are magical pet supplies that are ready to be marketed on the side of Lin Hai.
Of course, there are also some animals that don't like these artificially crafted utensils, such as salamanders and ferrets, and when they arrive at the new territory, they start to dig holes and collect branches, apparently preparing to build their own nests.
In addition, the evil woman bird also has its own ideas, as soon as it enters the space, it takes a few small silver owls it hatches, and wants to fly to the top of the mountain at the highest point of the space, but is stopped by Mu You.
Just kidding, you're also one of the animals to be visited, okay, and what do others think of you when you hide it?
Mu You talked badly, and in the end he threatened with 'if he didn't obey, he wouldn't let it shine according to the light of evolution', and finally made the evil woman bird agree to stay in the aviary prepared for it.
As for the silver owl, Mu You didn't plan to show too much, only left the three silver owl chicks in the aviary, let the evil woman bird take them, and the others were left in the lock cylinder space.
Next to the birdhouse is the mandrake's dwelling.
According to the advice provided by the Academy of Sciences, Mu You specially built a soundproof glass house for the mandrake, and designed a 'villa' for it, but the soil layer was made into a one-way transparent design, no matter what the mandrake did in the soil, it could be seen from the outside of the glass room.
Of course, it is impossible for Mandrake to know that there is such an insidious design, and after being brought into this glass house by Mu You in the crying and grabbing the ground, he immediately stopped crying, stared and turned left and right a few times, very satisfied with his new home, and immediately began to renovate its new territory.
Mu You didn't care about it, and transferred all the remaining aquatic animals to the 'aquarium'.
Of all the animals he had, the proportion of aquatic animals was the largest, and all kinds of fish, frogs, and turtles were placed in different tanks.
Finally, there are chocobos.
At this moment, the new track brought from the racecourse has been laid, and along the perimeter of the space, there is a grass track and a sand track, separated by a fence, equipped with professional track-type follow-up cameras, and high-precision timing devices.
After Mu You adjusted all the equipment, he gathered all the chocobos and brought them into the starting gate in turn, and then reorganized them for a weightless race.
With the assistance of professional equipment, the race was much more formal, starting from the automatic gate at the beginning, nine chocobos ran two laps along the track, totaling nearly 5,000 meters, and the camera followed the whole process, until the last nine chocobos hit the line one after another in a very short time.
The large LED screen also immediately shows the final line collision slow motion picture, and the time of each bird's crossing line is accurate to milliseconds to sort.
Mu You held up the camera and filmed all the scenes in the zoo.
Then I went to edit, and most of the animals only kept a fleeting shot, which not only maintained the freshness, but also retained enough mystery, and finally made a more than two-minute opening promotional video, which was sent to the pet store APP and his B station account.
The number of registered people in the pet store's APP has now reached 1.43 million, and after the initial wave of explosive influx, the growth rate of new registrations has slowed down a lot, but it is still increasing at a rate of about 100,000 per day.
Station B's videos need to be reviewed, and of course there are no restrictions on his own software.
At this time, as soon as the video was released, the number of views suddenly increased rapidly.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Open on Saturday?"
"It's finally going to open, I wish you a good opening!"
"The boss is amazing, it turns out that there are so many magical animals in the store!"
"It's amazing, it's like entering a fantasy kingdom......"
"Tomorrow opens, right? This must be supported! β
β¦β¦
Regarding the sale of tickets, Mu You had already discussed with Lin Xue Xiaoya and them before.
Due to the limited number of stores and the small number of animals, the number of visitors they can receive each day should not be too large.
After some discussion, the three of them finally determined the reception ceiling of 5,000 people, that is, a maximum of 5,000 tickets per day, divided into five sessions from 8 am to 6 pm according to the time period, each with a maximum of 1,000 people, lasting two hours, a bit similar to the model of movie tickets.
As for the ticket price, it is set at 200 yuan per ticket, regardless of adults and children, you can watch magical beasts after entering the venue, and at the same time, except for a few animals, most of the animals can also interact and feed.
This ticket price is still relatively expensive in general, after all, it is not an all-day ticket, only two hours, and it does not include experience items such as feeding and chocobo.
However, considering that this is the first magical animal store in China after all, and the popularity of the pet store now, there should be many people who can accept this ticket price, especially the tickets from the previous days, and may even be robbed.
Mu You saw the time, and at twelve o'clock, he released the prepared 1,000 tickets in the background on time.
As a result, Mu You and Lin Xue were a little dumbfounded.
Five seconds!
In just five seconds, the ticket pool has become sold out!
You must know that this ticketing system is online for the first time, and there is no possibility of any script to grab tickets, which is a bit unbelievable.
Mu You opened the forum of the APP and looked at it, and sure enough, the forum was discussing the ticket grabbing just now.
"@εΊδΈ». It's time, but you put out the tickets, and you said that the tickets will start selling at twelve o'clock? β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Let me make sure first, did you already let go of the ticket just now?"
"It seems to be ......"
"I saw a flickering ticket button light up, but by the time I ordered it, it was gone......"
"Damn, are you so fast?"
"Ah......h Do you still have tickets? I wasn't ready for it just now, can I do it all over again? β
"If you have bought a ticket that needs to change hands, please contact me, I will buy double!"
"I bought it, but I can't seem to resell it......"
β¦β¦
Seeing the chaos in the forum, Mu You also hurriedly used the store owner's account to explain the situation.
"There are still 4,000 tickets, but all the tickets are for a specific show, and one person has one number, and at that time, it will be entered with double verification of ticket and ID card, and cannot be resold. So please be optimistic about your ticket stub time, if you buy the wrong or can't come to K city tomorrow, please refund the ticket in time, until one hour before the opening tomorrow, you can refund the ticket at any time......"
When I heard that there were still 4,000 tickets, many people waiting for tickets were also relieved.
At the same time, those who only cared about grabbing tickets just now, after seeing the rules clearly, many people chose to refund the tickets, after all, many people are not in K City at all, and this ticket has a strict time limit, and it can't be reversed, and if you don't return it, you can only smash it.
Next, Mu You released tickets every half an hour, and by half past three in the afternoon, a total of 8,000 tickets were released, in addition to the 5,000 tickets tomorrow, there were also three Sunday mornings, and the tickets after that were not sold for the time being, because he was going to enter the door on Sunday afternoon, and everything would be said when he came back.
The result was not surprising, 8,000 tickets, all of which were sold out, and almost all of them were sold out as soon as they appeared, which means that there are still many people who have not grabbed one for a long time.
There have been countless messages urging him to continue to release tickets in Mu You's private messages, but there is no way, the capacity of the store is so much, it is impossible to continue to release tickets.
After the ticket sales were completed, Mu You continued to run to tidy up the facilities of the zoo, and he was busy until the evening.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Mu You went online on time and went to the dueling arena as usual to beat up the children for two hours.
Today is another 24-game winning streak, because he has not touched those difficult opponents above level 11 in the whole process, and now the number of victories he has won has reached 71 consecutive victories, and whoever can beat him for the first time will be able to harvest more than 70 medals or more in an instant.
And this is actually an asset, especially when Mu You has a pocket watch and can roll the opponent, maybe you can find someone else to cooperate, play a fake match or something, convert these medals into life, and take back your own pocket......
Of course, this needs to be operated later, and now this number of wins is not worth it for him to play match-fixing.
To get back to the point, after a few days of dueling arenas, Mu You's medals have accumulated to as many as 261.
After the duel time was over, Mu You didn't rush to go somewhere else, but clicked on the 'on-campus grocery store'.
[You've come to the on-campus grocery store.] γ
[The school grocery store is a place for students of the School of Magic to shop, where you can basically buy all the materials that students need for their daily life and study, and the price of some goods is slightly lower than the market price, change the goods once a week, if you have enough medals, remember to come and see it often. γ
[The person in charge of the sale is an elderly witch wearing reading glasses, she is laboriously sewing a handmade knitwear, and she has no time to entertain you, indicating what you need to see for yourself.] γ
[You look at the window of the grocery store, the goods sold here are: white fresh grass (25 medals per plant), high-level life system experience pages (25 medals each, 86 left), black dragon claw powder (160 medals per gram, 11 grams remaining), beauty potion formula (200 medals) ......]
The grocery store sells quite a lot of things, and the list of goods alone lists three full pages for him, wands, brooms, lesson book pages, rare materials, magic crystals, magic stones, potion recipes, and so on...... Everything you need for school life is basically everything you need here.
However, most of them are not interested.
After scanning it all, there were only two things that really caught his eye on him: the pages and the equipment trim.
Needless to say, it's a must-have for upgrading your magic.
Especially after the open beta, the pages of books have suddenly become more sought-after than spell scrolls, and in the future, if you encounter a page that you don't have, you can buy one for backup.
At this time, there are only three kinds of pages on the shelves, which are high-level pages of life, wind and water, and there are a lot of stocks of the three types of pages, but there is not a single low-level and middle-level one, and I don't know if she only sells high-level pages here.
Mu You bought one of each of the three pages, and then looked at the 'equipment modification'.
The so-called equipment modification is actually something similar to the previous 'weapon modification', which can change the 'skin' of the equipment'.
This thing is much more expensive, Mu You looked at it at a glance, there were more than a dozen kinds of bells and whistles skin, and the cheapest one actually cost 100 medals!
After hesitating for a moment, Mu You still bought it. Sooner or later, he would have to buy it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take out the refresh badge and use it at all.
[You purchased 'Equipment Modification (Green)', Red Rose Medal-100.] γ
After some shopping, there were only 86 medals left.
Mu You didn't have time to feel sorry for consumption, so after buying it, he left the grocery store and immediately used this thing.
[You used an equipment modifier on 'Refresh Badge' (Green). γ
[The appearance of the refresh badge has changed.] γ
After the synthesis was completed, Mu You took out the badge and looked at it.
At this time, the original golden delicate badge has turned into an inconspicuous green leaf-shaped badge, and the light that exudes from the appearance has also turned into a green and sophisticated badge.
"Not bad!"
Mu You nodded with satisfaction and sent the badge back to the game to wear. Usually those rich wizards buy skins to make the equipment look better and more gorgeous, but he is different, his purpose is to hide the equipment, and the more low-key the appearance, the better.
After the things were sold, Mu You was just about to control the character to go back to rest, but at this time, a text popped up on the screen that surprised him.
[You suddenly notice the map fragments on your body, and the direction has changed.] γ
"Oh?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows, and the map arrows changed, which meant that there were other fragment carriers near him?
Of course, the range of this 'vicinity' is still very large, and there is at least a few thousand kilometers between his position and the Misty Mountains at this time, and any debris breaking into his radius of several thousand kilometers will change the direction of the map.
However, the subsequent changes in the text prove that the other party is not far away from him.
[You take out the map fragments and look at them, and you find that the guiding arrows on the map are constantly changing angles at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.] γ
"Still changing?"
Mu You frowned, if this person was extremely far away from him, even if he was moving at a high speed, the feedback on the map arrows would only be a faint tremor.
For now, this kind of explanation...... Could it be that the other party is near him?
A similar hint has already appeared in the game at this point.
[You carefully look in the direction that the arrow is pointing into, and you find that it is the direction of the teleportation array in the east of the city. γ
[You guess that there may be a fragment carrier who has just arrived in the imperial capital through the teleportation array. γ
[This may be an opportunity to snatch map fragments, but you may also be the one who is robbed, the ups and downs are all in your thoughts, please be sure to think about the consequences before acting.] γ
[Do you want to track each other?] γ
"Track!"
Mu You directly chose to track.
Someone sent it to the door, and he had to go and see the situation anyway, anyway, he had enough means to save his life, and he still had a pocket watch in his hand, if he really couldn't fight, he would just run.
[You follow the direction of the shards, leaving the Red Rose Academy.] γ
[You notice that the direction of the arrow stops turning, and instead begins to swing slightly in a very short range...... The other party may also have discovered your existence and is also approaching you......]
[You stopped on the side of the road, staring at the change of the arrows of the fragments, and at the same time released the shadow warhawk and patrolled forward from high in the sky......]
The other party also seemed to react, and in turn began to track him, Mu You simply stopped, because there was a possibility of meeting at any time next, let the war eagle explore the way first.
[You control the war eagle to patrol all the way in the direction of the arrow, and soon in the shadow of a street in front of you, you find a suspicious figure......]
"Keep tracking!"
[You were about to get the eagle closer, but the figure seemed to sense that someone was snooping, and suddenly cast a spell and teleported away from the place. γ
[The arrow guidance on the map fragment also suddenly returned to its original direction at this time, and it no longer changes.] γ
[You ordered the eagle to swoop down, but unfortunately you didn't find any trace of the other party around. But where the other person disappeared just now, you find a note. It was just an ordinary note, without any magic fluctuations. γ
[You order the eagle to fly back and bring the note back.] γ
After bringing the note back, Mu You clicked on the text, took out the note, and opened it to take a look.
Above is the text of the Star Spirit Language.
"Friend, I know you're also the owner of the Dawn Shard, so there's no need to be hostile, I just want to talk to you about cooperation.
If you are interested in cooperating, you can meet at the former site of the Wizarding Association in the ruins of the south of the city at midnight, and for safety, do not bring their respective pieces with you when you meet. β
