Chapter 430: The Bearded Guest

Lu Yao clicked to buy and won the prototype of this Yellow Turban Lux.

Faith - 19.9 million, balance 10.11 million.

A golden puppet icon appears at the very top of the inventory.

Lu Yao's mouse connects the dots.

A character screen appears on the screen.

The middle part is a man with a face of the lake.

On the left of this Faceling, from top to bottom, are [Race] and [Attributes], and on the right are [Face Shape] and [Body Type].

Lu Yao clicked [Race] first and found that he could pull out a long list. From the earliest Yao humans to the new vampires, werewolves, and abyssal wanderers...... All are available.

If he wanted to, he even made the Yellow Turban Lux look like a cactus, an off-road rabbit, or a tricolor insect.

In the end, Lu Yao still chose the common [Yao Human].

He tinkered with the shape of his face, and pinched Huang Jia into a bearded man, with a wide body with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, tall and large, and his clothes were corresponding ordinary coarse cloth shorts and pants, looking like an ordinary man.

Huang Jia also has its own camouflage panel attributes, which can be randomly generated, and Lu Yao chose a panel with slightly higher data than ordinary people.

After pinching his face, he clicked [Ever-changing] to confirm.

So Huang Jia became a bearded guest, looking like a heroic man who mixed in the green forest.

After pinching and shaping, the next step is to get started.

Lu Yao placed the Yellow Turban Lux outside Yao City, and then he discovered a small problem.

Yellow armor level has been changed to lv99.

In addition to the same speed, health, mana, damage, and defense have been reduced by about 50%. Fortunately, the ability characteristics have not changed.

Even so, Huang Jia's combat power is also the best in the Yao world.

This is the limit of the crawling zone, and the upper limit of the health level of all in the crawling zone is lv99, even if it exceeds this peak itself, it will also be sealed and weakened.

Lu Yao clicked [Shenming Xing].

After a brief moment, the world once again becomes a left-right split screen in front of my eyes.

Having had the last experience, this time Lu Yao leaned on the bed with ease and quickly dived into the Void World.

……

Unlike the gray abyss, the visibility of the Yao world is much higher.

There was snow floating in the sky, and the cold winter wind blew on his body, bringing Lu Yao a clear sense of coldness and tingling.

The puppets made by Taiyi real people are indeed worth the money, which not only retains the original keen feeling, but the fleeting stimulation will not affect the continuous experience.

Lu Yao raised his head, and he saw the white breath exhaled from his mouth, as well as the goose feathers and snow in the sky from far and near.

There are two suns in the sky, the tallest golden sun brings light and heat, and the shorter green sun is a strange life formed by the distortion of the [light crown], radiating "calm" and "pleasure" to people.

The two days of hanging in the sky are the unique wonders of Yaocheng.

Lu Yao moved his arms and touched the thick beard on his chin.

In the eyes of passers-by, he should be the kind of "big brother don't cut me" type of character.

This appearance has the advantage of reducing the probability of encountering faults.

As long as I look like a fault-finding person, then the stubble will not be easy to find me.

Lu Yao looked around.

Now he is standing in the forest north of Yaocheng, and further north will lead to the volcanic area where the fire of Egil is located, and further south will enter the city of Yaocheng.

Suddenly, he saw a man with a bamboo basket on his back picking up branches in the snow.

"This brother!"

Lu Yao greeted and strode towards the other party.

As a result, his voice frightened the other party so much that he ran away without picking up firewood, and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Lu Yao was a little embarrassed.

Dude is pinching a heroic face, does it look like a bad guy like this?

Forget it, it's normal to be wary of strangers when you're out and about.

Lu Yao pondered for a moment, if he continued to go north, it would be nothing more than wrestling with fire elemental creatures, watching fire bison baring their teeth, or catching a few frenzied birds and walking birds.

Or go around the city and see the city's appearance.

Since the epoch update, Lu Yao hasn't paid much attention to Yao City.

On the one hand, it is because Yaocheng is the most reassuring city for him, just like the eldest son of the family, no matter how noisy the little brothers are, the eldest brother will remain calm.

On the other hand, things are endless, and Lu Yao really forgot about it.

Therefore, he chose Yaocheng for this personal visit to observe the development of the city and see the real life of the residents.

After countless people walking, the road from the forest to the city became extremely clear, and Lu Yao walked all the way out along this trampled road, and arrived outside Yao City.

The outer walls of the city are about three people tall and are made entirely of stone bricks, with guards patrolling the walls.

At the city gate, Lu Yao encountered another small trouble.

"What's your name? What profession? What are you doing in Yaocheng? The soldiers of the city guard on duty specially stopped him and asked very vigilantly.

Lu Yao was helpless.

Those people around are coming in and out, just spot check me, right?

For the first time, he felt that there might be a slight deviation in the direction of the pinching of his face.

"Huang Jia, unemployed, came to Yaocheng to find a job."

The answer made the soldier nod, seemingly acknowledging his candor.

"You're pretty good, are you interested in coming to the city guards? We are now getting better and better, not only can we enjoy holidays but also apply to go to the college for further study......"

Lu Yao said two words and entered the city.

The environment in the city was better than he expected, there was a lot of snow on the roofs and floors on both sides of the street, and the streets were not covered with stains and filth. As a city with a population of nearly 300,000, the problem of domestic sewage is an unavoidable practical problem.

Lu Yao asked someone who looked like a scholar for advice.

The other person said, "You're from out of town, aren't you?" Of the five densely populated cities, Yaocheng is the cleanest and most hygienic because of the newly deciphered dragon grammar technique [deodorization]. ”

"Deodorization is a niche spell for the dragon clan to clean the body and eliminate the rich body odor, which can dilute the odor, in fact, it is a small wind flow, but it is just right to use it in the city. Although there are workers in Yaocheng who specialize in collecting and processing manure, the smell is still very strong, which is a great magical achievement......"

The scholar looked young, wore a black robe, and wore a fluffy white cotton flower on his chest, and belonged to the official scholars recognized by the seminary.

As soon as he talked about spells, he seemed to be extremely excited and gushing.

After Lu Yao said goodbye to him, he entered several shops along the way.

The currency of the Yao people today is still the seashell, but it has changed for many generations.

The original seashells were specially marked shells, but over the centuries they have been transformed into a special currency that is crushed with shells and gravel and then re-fired.

It is round, thin, and small, and its surface has a relief that symbolizes the city – also thanks to printing.

There is a monument carved on the seashells issued by Yaocheng, which is also the oldest wonder and symbol of Yaocheng.

On the sea shell in Yancheng is a sea lighthouse. Although Yancheng has many wonders, and the lighthouse once collapsed and was later rebuilt in the city's history, Yancheng still chose to represent this Yancheng spirit.

Saniro, on the other hand, does not issue currency and is dominated by city bonds.

The seashells of Uda City are carved with arches that look like mountain peaks, and the seashells of Crystal City are carved into a glass pot.

According to the shop owners, in fact, the seashells in Yaocheng and Yancheng are the ones with the highest recognition and the best circulation. Uda City and Crystal City are made more of a collectible with a small circulation.

Lu Yao saw a lot of things he wanted to buy, including wheat cakes, meatloaf, honey wine, and books, but unfortunately he was penniless.

Just when he was wondering whether to call Yin Sabel to get some money, he noticed a figure in the snow.

The man looked to be in his twenties, tall, thin, with a melancholy gaze and deep-set eyes, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.

He was dressed in a thin robe, and sighed on the side of the street, as if he had encountered some trouble, and he looked uncomfortable scratching his ears and cheeks.

Lu Yao glanced at this person's panel.

……

Abyssal Nomad Lv4: Andrey

Health: 36/36

Mana: 42/42

Damage: 2

Defense: 1

Speed: 4

【Mage Lv2】

Good at researching and using spells, and has a certain chance of developing new spells.

【Swiftness】

+1 speed for a short period of time.

【Exploratory Technique】

Able to detect the condition of various lifeforms, the success rate is related to the ability level, and failure will be discovered by the person being explored.

……

The history of this young mage records that he only came to the Yao world from the abyss, and he is 24 years old this year.

Being able to stand out in the fifth layer of the abyss can be regarded as a buildable material over there.

Lu Yao swaggered over and said, "Young age, the future is promising, what are you doing here with a long sigh?" ”

Andre raised his head, as if taken aback by Lu Yao's image.

Then he said, "I feel emotional because I haven't been able to find a suitable job." You are? ”

"My name is Huang Jia, and I'm also here to find some work."

Hearing this, Andre suddenly relaxed: "I am Andre, and I have only arrived in Yaocheng from the Sifang Country not long ago. Looks like we're all in the same situation, you're also an out-of-towner, right? ”

"Not bad."

Lu Yao suddenly thought: "Do you have any money?" ”

"A little, not much."

"Have a drink, maybe I can show you the way."

Andrei couldn't help but laugh, he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded: "It's cold, let's go have a drink." ”

The two of them found a tavern nearby.

There weren't many people in the tavern during the day, so the two of them found a spacious corner to sit down.

Lu Yao asked for a glass of ale wine, Andre ordered a glass of thick honey wine, and Andre paid for the four seashells.

Ale wine has a mellow and fragrant taste and low alcohol content, but it is not bad when it is an alcoholic drink.

Lu Yao took a big sip of wine: "Tell me about your situation." ”

Andrei put down the wooden wine glass: "Do you know the Quartet? Miss Please, bring me another drink. ”

"You know, the fifth layer of the abyss."

"Your knowledge is really extensive, I talked to some people before, and many people don't know about it."

Lu Yaoxin said that this is normal.

For a long time, the Quartet in the abyss has been the object of aid, basically a one-way contact. Now, the talents over there are gradually coming out and feeding back to the outside world.

"I'm a mage, and the mage profession is mainly responsible for studying spells and operating the mage tower in the abyss. However, there is no Mage Tower here, so there is no need for ...... I passed the scholar examination of the Four Directions and was one of the first mages to come to this city. ”

There was a hint of pride on Andrei's face.

"Then why can't you find a job?"

Lu Yao's question made the young mage's smile disappear.

"It's hard to find a job...... When I first arrived, I thought that with my ability to master two spells, it should be okay to go to a seminary as a scholar and teacher. As a result, I didn't even pass the academic examination in the seminary test, and I was considered by them to be at the apprenticeship level in terms of academic knowledge and ability......"

Andre took a sip of wine: "I know that the scholars here are knowledgeable, but I didn't expect to learn so much. ”

"Introductory vocabulary of the dragon language, principles of the steam furnace, four arithmetics, fundamentals of potions, principles of engineering and magic...... There are so many of them, I see that people are blinded. It's terrible that an apprentice here has to learn so many things. ”

Lu Yao expressed his understanding and clinked glasses with him: "If you can't be a seminary teacher, then give full play to your magic expertise, and it's not difficult to find an ordinary job." ”

"It's not easy. I tried to apply for the White Castle, but I didn't pass the screening there. After going around and around for half a month, the only thing I was invited to here was a farm, and I was asked to use [Exploration] to check if the livestock over there were sick. I'm a mage and I want to study spells, I don't want to study sows ...... postpartum"

Andrei was full of bitterness.

Suddenly, a woman dressed in white walked in.

"Andrey? Are you drinking again? ”

Andrei's body trembled, and his face was a little embarrassed and explained: "Alyosha, I am drinking with this new friend, and he is helping me introduce work." Let me introduce you to you, this is Huang Jia, this is my wife, Alyosha. ”

"Is that so?" Alyosha looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled expression.

"That's true."

Lu Yao nodded.

He wondered in his heart, no wonder this kid was so cheerful, daring to love him and wanting to drink. The uncomfortable appearance on the street is not only a frustration at work, but also a drug addiction.

Lu Yao noticed.

Andrei's wife, Alyosha, turned out to be a vampire.

"So, can I join in your conversation too?"

The Vampire Lady said softly.

Andre's face was a little unnatural, and his hands seemed to have nowhere to put them, so he could only squeeze out a smile at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao said, "Of course it's no problem. ”
