Chapter 66: The so-called reward
"If every mission involved 'Dao Sin' like Mirror Village, I wouldn't be alive now......
"In fact, even the mountain temple this time is quite difficult in the mission I have experienced...... If it weren't for you, if you wanted to force back the last 'First Sun Divine Sword', at least half of the people in the temple would have to die!" Qi Feimeng glanced at Zhao Chen with a faint gaze, and continued, "And this time is obviously a serial mission, and the second stage will be even more difficult." ”
That said, did my addition skyrocket the difficulty? As soon as the thought moved, Zhao Chen didn't dwell on this question anymore, and instead said in Miss Qi's words: "The second stage...... In other words, will we be able to return to that 'fog of history' next time? ”
"Looks like you really don't know anything...... Well, since you're really bound to my mission, I'll tell you a little bit about it. Qi Feimeng sighed and said, "Although I have only experienced one serial quest, as you said, we will enter there next time and complete new quests, and the serial quest will not end until a certain final goal is reached."
"Well, that's actually the same for single-loop quests......"
"The ultimate goal? What kind of goals are they in general? Zhao Chen asked.
Now that he is sure that he is involved, he must have some understanding of the mechanics of this "game".
Miss Qi thought for a moment and replied, "It's a lot...... Sometimes it's stopping something, sometimes it's taking something, sometimes it's saving someone...... Anyway, with my current knowledge, I can't see any pattern behind it. ”
Speaking of this, she paused, and then asked, "Erlang, what do you think?" ”
If you can't guess if you're so well-informed, then I'm even more clueless...... However, the purpose of the last mission in Mirror Village was clear, which was to let me recover the "Bagua Mingguang Mirror".
wanted to think so, but on the surface, Zhao Chen still shook his head, and then asked about something else: "How often does such a task usually start?" ”
Qi Feimeng didn't care about Zhao Chen's behavior of changing the topic, after all, even if he could understand the root of the fog of history, what could he do with the "weak chicken" whose two of them were not perfect? It's just adding to the troubles.
"There used to be once every two or three days, but since I practiced the acupoint, it has been extended to ten days...... I guess as my strength grows, the interval will get longer and longer. Qi Feimeng had already stood up as she spoke, and then she connected to the bodhisattva diagram through "visualization", let it appear, and then pointed to the corner of the diagram and said, "Look, there is a countdown here. ”
Seeing this evil Bodhisattva picture again, Zhao Chen found that its posture was more ordinary than that in Fang Xuzi's memory, if it weren't for the ability to lead people through the "fog of history", others would probably only see it as a painting with good craftsmanship...... Even the level is not as good as the original owner.
As the woman who bought the painting in Fang Xuzi's memory said: "It has no charm, it is only worth five times." ”
Thinking of that female voice, Zhao Chen's heart moved, and he asked thoughtfully, "Fei Meng, did you get this painting more than three months ago?" ”
Miss Qi heard him say that the other party's virtual son was "searching for souls", so she naturally guessed what he wanted to ask, so she generously admitted: "You don't have to go around in circles when you talk to me...... That's right, I bought this painting from the rally, and it only cost 5 pieces.
"I just thought it was perfect for the eye, but I didn't expect it to be so extraordinary......"
Yes, how could such an extraordinary painting fall into the hands of Fang Xuzi? Could this have anything to do with the death of the original owner?
Zhao Chen felt more and more that the things involved in the death of the original owner were confusing.
Fortunately, I have already jumped out of the "whirlpool" of Bingquan Town, as for the matter of helping the original owner to avenge, there is no urgency, no one stipulates that the "transaction" must be completed, anyway, if you can't get his remaining ability and identity, you can't get it, and it's a big deal to run away directly.
As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen suddenly discovered that Miss Qi had made the Bodhisattva portrait hidden again, but her aura continued to rise, not only returning to her peak state, but also having a further trend.
But this trend didn't last long, and soon began to fall, and Qi Feimeng also exhaled a turbid breath and sighed: "It's still not good, it seems that I have to complete one or two more tasks before I can open my nose." ”
"Fimeng...... What are you? Zhao Chen roughly guessed something, but still asked.
After all, the other party also said that there is no need to go around in circles between them.
"There are benefits to taking risks to complete tasks...... Every time I come back, it heals all my injuries, deepens my fit with the exercises I am practicing, and improves the efficiency of my practice......
"When I was in Mirror Village, I couldn't completely reconcile the two artistic conceptions of 'compassion' and 'demon subjugation', so I showed different personality states from time to time...... However, the 'reward' I received after completing the last mission made me fully understand the true meaning of 'the bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, and the arhats look angry', and completely unifies them. Miss Qi also showed her own state as she spoke, and saw that her face was full of compassion, but her eyes were like ice.
This sounds similar to the feedback I received from the Traveling Merchant after I completed the transaction...... Could it be a similar principle?
Zhao Chen looked at Qi Feimeng, who had a pure temperament in front of him, but gave him a strange feeling, and thought in his heart.
Speaking of the feedback of the pot position, it turned out that the "no capital trading" had no effect, but instead induced Zhang Yunlu to take the initiative to "present" the "Purple Household Immortal Secret", which made Zhao Chen's soul power slightly improved.
The key to "traveling merchants" is "travel" and "trading".
In "travel", trade what you want by all means, which may be the true meaning of playing a "traveling merchant".
- Because of the need to constantly keep his behavior close to the "profession" embodied in the name of "Gongyi", Zhao Chen called this practice "playing".
Entering the "Fog of History" is itself a journey across time, and during the trip, he traded the secret book of Kunlun Tianyong City that he needed through guidance......
Only then did it get the recognition of the "pot position" and strengthened itself.
However, this kind of improvement is estimated to have a limit, and when the "play" reaches a certain level, it should no longer have an effect.
Seeing that Zhao Chen fell into silence, as if his heart was not calm, Miss Qi smiled and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Although she can rely on the divine ability of True Qi to roughly sense other people's thoughts, she is not really a mind reader, and it is impossible to be too specific.
And even if you want to sense it roughly, you have to be as close as you were in the ruined temple before, breathe and smell, and even have skin to skin contact.
No matter how atmospheric Qi Feimeng's temperament is, she is still a girl in the end, and it doesn't matter if she is close to the danger in the broken temple, now she can't do the act of deliberately "sticking" with him in order to sense his mind.
Moreover, she does not deliberately snoop on her friends' privacy.
