Chapter 7: Partners (Rewritten)
Rosen thought he would never have to see her again, but he didn't expect her to be here. Thinking about what he said before to ridicule her, she seems to have been slapped in the face.
He cleared his throat, "Oh, it's you, I almost didn't recognize you." I haven't seen you before, did you go through the back door or did you sell something about yourself...... Just here?"
"Well, what do you want to say?" asked Lanaya, smiling. It's not that she doesn't get angry, it's just that her ability to control her emotions is much better than ordinary people. The Hidden Sanctuary is far different from the Thieves' Guild in that it prohibits killing allies, and all lethal instruments are prohibited in non-competition venues, otherwise she really doesn't know what she will do.
Rosen is indeed too angry today, helpless against the person who stole his limelight, and now he has a narrow path, he didn't expect that he had no intention of saying such a thing to a woman, nor did he expect that a woman could not move after accepting such an insult.
What a horrible person.
"It's nothing, so ...... you're standing here and not leaving?"
"I don't care about that crystal, but you have to explain the bad attitude you put on towards me, right? ”
"Why are you...... Good. Do you want me to apologize to you? I saw that you gave me a magic crystal, so I promised you, but I have the conditions. ”
Rosen's face changed as if it were a change of sky, and seeing that his face was full of lightness, Lanaya knew that this condition must be in his favor. It's not the first time I've met Lanaya, who doesn't want to apologize, so I'll just watch and watch.
"You know the contribution system, right? We have a contribution of 20,000 first, and the loser must obey the winner unconditionally within a week. Of course, if you win, I will definitely apologize to you. His expression was very confident, and then he brought up the personal information page in the amethyst ring, and saw that his contribution value was already five figures, starting with a start.
Completing tasks will earn contribution points, which can be purchased, rented, etc., and can also be exchanged for universal currency. More than 10,000, not to mention new members, even more than a year old, most people can't do this.
Rosen's eyes seemed to say, "It's your turn." ”
Lanaya doesn't like competition, but she can't stand to be at the mercy of others. Unconditionally obey, this condition prescribed by Rosen really forces people to death. So she had to win.
Her contribution value information is also displayed.
Rosen was stunned.
Ten thousand, whole.
Seeing Rosen's expression, Lanaya thought that Rosen might think that she should be zero, but that's fine, at the starting line, she didn't miss too much, and she still had a chance.
Rosen exhaled quietly, "Let's start now." ”
-
"Impossible, even if she has that ability, how can she make it up......?
Rosen hovered in front of the task release, and he had been thinking about a question, whether the rounding was a coincidence or something, because only the rewards of the ultimate task were calculated in tens of thousands!
Could it be that Adrian lied to all of them? Could it be that the one who actually completed that task should be ......
Then why did Adrian do this, and what is the relationship between the two of them......
For a moment, Rosen felt that Lanaya was not someone he could afford to provoke, but the thought quickly faded.
Let's talk about it if we can win him.
-
"Hello, how do you choose a task to get the most contribution points in the shortest time?"
"Look at what is written on your head before you speak. ”
Lanaya looked up and saw that she had reached the window of the ultimate mission, and for no other reason, there was no queue here.
"The way to get the most contribution points in the shortest amount of time is to take my task here. The receptionist tilted his head slightly, "You're new here?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then I'd advise you to go somewhere else. The receptionist said leisurely, thinking that the attitude of this newcomer was much better than the previous one.
"Can I try it? Can you recommend one to me...... The easiest. Right now, I really need to contribute. ”
"Once the task fails, or you want to give up voluntarily, you have to pay half of the liquidated damages, are you sure?"
Lanaya nodded, and in the eyes of the uninformed, might think she was crazy, but she just didn't want to lose.
"Generally speaking, the easiest task is the collection task, but the difficulty factor of the ultimate collection task is also much higher than that over there. If you're decided, give me the ring. ”
Lanaya took the ring off and gave it to him, and in the eyes of the receptionist, it was a smooth move, and he couldn't help but wonder if she really had that strength...... No, it's just that the ignorant are fearless......
The receptionist will load the information of the received mission into the ring, and in the process, he will naturally see Lanaya's current contribution value and understand something.
In Lanaya's opinion, the receptionist suddenly smiled at her inexplicably.
......
Doubt. Incomprehensible.
-
The target of this collection mission is the psionic crystal, which is buried deep in the crystal cave in the middle of the Hagolal Desert at the western end of the continent.
After the receptionist's introduction, the library system of the Hidden Sanctuary was unimaginable, and as long as she entered the search keyword, people in the dormitory could directly borrow any book in the library through the shelves.
She loves to read books the most.
It's cool to think about.
Use the ring to open the door to the dormitory and find that there is another person in the room. But as if he had not heard the door open, the man sat still motionless, without even looking back.
It's not ...... Grint?, Lanaya thought. Feeling a little unexpected, she adjusted to the most normal and casual state, and gently leaned against the wall, "How is the investigation of the cloak matter?"
"Ahh Then, her eyes widened wider and wider, and she got up and pounced on her.
"It's just that I can hide my breath, and the man said that he wanted to keep it for research, so I can't get it back......"
"It's fine. ”
In fact, Lanaya still felt a little pity in her heart, if only she could have a cloak like that. It's just that I don't understand why Grint is so emotional when he sees her.
"Lanaya, we'll be partners from now on. ”
Maybe the two really have some inexplicable fate, Lanaya happened to meet Grint before being put into the city gate, and was arranged in the same bedroom as Grint, and in the future, in the Hidden Sanctuary, they are really the closest people.
But the word [friend] has never appeared in Lanaya's dictionary.
"Okay, since it's a partner, do me a favor next. Lanaya walked over to the bookshelf, fiddling with such a high-tech for the first time, a little rusty, but it didn't take long to borrow a few books, and she quickly piled them all on the table.
"That...... There's something you know. I don't think it's fair to you that you've done the task, but they've already claimed to be someone else. Also, you must like to hear it, because of this incident, Rosen's limelight has been robbed, and he must not be happy now. ”
Lanaya smiled, "That's a good thing, I don't want people to know that I did it." Come and see, how much do you know about the Hagoral Desert and the Crystal Caves?"
"Learned a little before - what, where are you going?"
"Tasks. She nodded.
"Can't go!"
"Why?"
"If you're going to the Hagoral Desert, your mission, I remember, seems to be collecting psionic crystals...... I've heard that the crystal cave was fine before, but in recent years, none of the people who went there have ever returned!"
Lanaya's expression changed.
"You give it up, really, you can't go. I don't want to ...... anymore," Grint burst into tears with red eyes.
"But don't I even have a problem with the eighth task? ”
"This really doesn't work! Isn't it liquidated damages? I'll borrow it for you, I beg you not to do stupid things......
"Okay, you sit down first......" Lanaya, who really didn't know how to reassure Glint, pressed her down first, and said, "I'll tell you something, about me." ”
Grimmt immediately looked ready to listen.
Lanaya wanted to laugh a little, it seems that most of the last time Grint asked she replied with an answer like no comment, and Grint probably wanted to hit someone at that time. She whispered, "Actually, I'm competing with Rosen. I happened to bump into him just now, and there was a little conflict, and then he asked that whoever contributed the value first reached 20,000, and the person who lost should listen to the other party unconditionally within a week. ”
"What?!"
Grint jumped up suddenly, "That guy, is still in front of you? No, I can't bear this, you definitely have to win him, isn't it just the ultimate task?
“......”
-
Regarding the natural and human environment of the destination, the two have checked it in the book, and it is no problem, but the rumors of recent years mentioned by Grint have not been mentioned.
"I can trust you," Grint said.
After all the items they had to bring with them were ready, they set off.
At the same time, it was also when Lawson was about to go out, and of course, he would have staggered himself from someone for a while.
He leisurely walked to the window in the far corner of the mission release place and said, "Hey, who took the task of collecting psionic crystals in the crystal cave?"
"What's the matter with you?" the receptionist replied tepidly in Rosen's previous words.
Lawson also knew that he couldn't ask anything about the situation, pointed in the direction of the receptionist's nose, and walked away.
"Who took that task?" Soon, another person came.
The receptionist immediately smiled and showed him all the relevant information.
If he could, Rosen could rush in and beat the receptionist right now, in front of him, discriminately, didn't he deliberately provoke him?!
"yes, I see. ”
"You wouldn't have cared so much about one person before, Adrian. ”
The receptionist shook his head with a smile.
-
Lanaya and Grint have arrived at the teleportation station outside the Holy Hidden City, a device called the Transparent Pod that has been widely used in the Violet Continent to allow people to travel long distances in a short period of time.
As the hatch slowly closed, Lanaya seemed to hear someone calling for her from a long distance.
In the depths of the mind - "don't go there", someone said.
Familiar, but can't remember who it is.
And she didn't know how to respond, now that she had set out, there was no turning back, she had to go there...... She had to win.
