Chapter 448: An Epic Reward for Nothing

In the words of the previous life, a bottle of mineral water is about two yuan, which is a relatively common price.

However, if you ask for more than a dozen bottles of mineral water, but others have to charge four or five hundred yuan, no matter who you are, you feel that you have been blackmailed, right?

That's probably how the current river feels.

Although with the increase in the level of killing monsters, the monsters have exploded more and more money, and Jiang Liu's own wealth has accumulated to a very local tyrant, but for the price, Jiang Liu will not forget.

When I was in Jinshan Temple, I did a ritual once, and it was only a tael of silver, and the whole temple could catch this tael of silver, and hurriedly put forward my own requirements, and the things that needed to be supplemented would not be forgotten by the river.

"Your water here is so expensive, comparable to the price of meat, why is this so!?" Sun Wukong bared his teeth and asked the old man angrily.

"Do you know anything, it is rumored that hundreds of years ago, a flame flew from the sky, directly fell on our earth, forming a mountain of flames, for hundreds of years, it will never be extinguished, and the water source of our people living here has almost been burned out, so water is naturally extremely expensive!" the old man sighed and said.

"Fart, a flame fell from the sky, causing you to form a mountain of flames here? It seems that your people here are acting detrimental to their virtues, so the Jade Emperor Lao'er sent such calamities to punish you, right?" Hearing the old man's words, Sun Wukong sneered, and said angrily to the old man.

"You, Elder Monkey, why did you insult our innocence for such a reason? We, the residents around the Flame Mountain, are known for their pure temperament!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, the old man was a little furious, and said with a look of arguing.

"Old man, I sold you for eight dollars of silver for tens of thousands of water, are you still embarrassed to say that you have a pure temperament?" Although Zhu Bajie next to him likes to quarrel with Sun Wukong when he usually does, it is all internal contradictions, and at this time, it is still unanimous to the outside world.

"I don't like to listen to what you pig elder said, our water here is very scarce, isn't it common sense that it is expensive? If you leave the Flaming Mountain and encounter a river, lie down by the river and drink water, but you don't want a single copper!" The old man argued with one enemy against two, without the slightest intention of falling behind, and it was reasonable and well-founded.

"Senior brother, second senior brother, I think this old man is right!" Sha Wujing next to him couldn't help but speak after listening for a while, and said to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

"Senior Brother Sha, which side are you helping!?" Hearing his own junior brothers say this, Sun Wukong couldn't accept it anymore.

"Okay, Wukong, Bajie, you don't have to say a few words!"

At this time, Jiang Liu also roughly understood where he was now, and interjected to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

There was no nonsense, Jiang Liu directly took out a tael of silver and sent it to the old man's hands.

"Uncle, it's me who can't wait, I don't understand the scene here, since it's a misunderstanding, I'll give you water for this tael of silver!"

"My old man said, we residents of Flame Mountain, but we are all people with pure temperament, since it is eight coins of silver, it is eight coins of silver, and I will never ask for more of you!" After accepting one or two pieces of silver from Jiang Liu, the old man shook his head and said, and then he should have found two coins of silver and came back.

Seeing the old man's insistence, Jiang Liu's heart secretly admired, but there was no hypocrisy, and he reached out and took the two pieces of silver.

The water was also drunk, the money was given, and seeing that Jiang Liu did not mean to leave in a hurry, the old man naturally did not have the intention of chasing away the guests, so he let Jiang Liu and them sit well, and turned around and went back to the water shop.

"Master, do you say that this Jade Emperor is full of food? It seems that the people around this Flame Mountain are indeed not bad, why did they fall so much heavenly punishment!?" After the old man left, Sun Wukong also changed his words.

Although two coins of silver can't explain anything, the old man just now was unwilling to take more than two coins of silver, but it can also prove that the other party is indeed not the one who took the opportunity to blackmail.

"Ahem, Wukong, when it comes to this matter, the teacher knows a ......thing or two" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu's mouth coughed dryly, and he looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and said.

"Oh, Master, do you know why!?"

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong and the others were slightly stunned, and immediately, Sun Wukong stared at Jiang Liu curiously, and said, "Then Master, tell me, what's going on with all this?"

"As far as the master knows, all this is not the will of the Jade Emperor, nor is it a heavenly punishment, on the contrary, it is still Wukong's responsibility for this Flame Mountain to become what it is today!" Jiang Liu looked at Sun Wukong with a strange expression and replied.

"My grandson's responsibility!?" pointed at himself, and Sun Wukong looked confused.

Just now, I was still saying that the people around the Flame Mountain were misbehaving, which caused such a disaster, and even quarreled with the old man for so long, but the master said that the responsibility lies with himself?

"Master, are you mistaken? This is also the first time for my grandson to come here, you said that it is my grandson's responsibility to become what this place is today?

Although Sun Wukong has always trusted his master's words, Sun Wukong still doesn't believe these words.

"Five hundred years ago, when Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he was held by the Jade Emperor, and the knife and axe chopped, and the thunder and lightning flames could not hurt you, so in the end, you were put into the gossip furnace of Taishang Laojun, but is there such a thing!?" Jiang Liu opened his mouth and asked Sun Wukong.

"It's true!" nodded, Sun Wukong's face was a little triumphant.

Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong has always regarded it as a glorious deed of his life.

"Later, after refining for seven hundred and forty-nine days, you were not refined to death, but you escaped from the gossip furnace, and even, in a fit of anger, you overturned Lao Jun's gossip furnace, do you remember?"

"I remember!" Sun Wukong nodded, his expression still the same.

"The gossip furnace was overturned, and among them, a fire brick fell from the sky, and it happened to fall here, forming today's Flame Mountain, monkey, you say, this Flame Mountain has become today's scene, is it your responsibility!?" Jiang Liu finally told Sun Wukong the reason for the formation of this Flame Mountain.

"Ah!?this, how did this flame come from!?" Hearing the end, Sun Wukong was dumbfounded, stunned.

It turns out that the responsibility for all this lies on me.

"Come on, it's a shame that my old pig just helped you talk to this monkey, it turns out that you monkey is a thief shouting to catch a thief!" Zhu Bajie next to him heard this, patted his head, and said angrily to Sun Wukong.

"Master, you, what you say, my grandson believes it, so it seems that this flame mountain has become what it is today, it is really my grandson's responsibility!" scratching his head, Sun Wukong said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

It's just that if you drink some water, it will cost you so much eight dollars of silver, and the price of this water has caught up with the price of meat?

You know, ordinary people, it's rare to be able to eat a meal of meat a month, and the lack of water sources can be seen from here.

Thinking that over the years, the people around the Flaming Mountain have been deeply troubled by the water source, and these responsibilities are all because of himself, Sun Wukong's heart felt very uncomfortable for a while.

"Master, my grandson is responsible for doing things alone, since the responsibility of this Flame Mountain lies with my grandson, then, let's find a way to extinguish the fire of this Flame Mountain, right?" After being silent for a long time, suddenly, Sun Wukong opened his mouth and proposed.

"This is natural, and this is indeed what you should do!" Sun Wukong's words made Jiang Liu nod in agreement.

When encountering the situation of this Flaming Mountain, if he can help easily, he will benefit countless people, and Jiang Liu is naturally willing to do this kind of thing.

Hint: Trigger the quest "Extinguish the Flame Mountain", the quest requires the successful extinguishing of the hundreds of years of fire in the Flame Mountain, the mission is successful, the experience value is rewarded with 50 million, the epic treasure chest *1, the mission fails, the experience value is deducted by 50 million, accept/reject?

As Sun Wukong opened his mouth and put forward the words to extinguish the fire of the Flame Mountain, suddenly, a prompt from the system appeared, which directly triggered a passive task.

"What!?50 million experience points?epic mission!?" Hearing this passively triggered task, Jiang Liu was surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, the rewards for this passive task are very rich, and there are a full 50 million experience points reward.

But if you think about it carefully, the fire of this Flame Mountain is not so easy to extinguish, and it seems reasonable to have this reward.

Happily, this flame mountain fire seems to be extinguished only by relying on a banana fan, just yet, his party and the Bull Demon King are now completely their own people, so in this way, this is almost the only means that can extinguish the fire of the flame mountain, and they are at their fingertips.

Isn't this giving away 50 million XP and an epic treasure chest for nothing?

"Sure enough, this game system has no intelligence at all, and it is very rigid, otherwise, it would never give me such a task!"

Thinking that this was almost a high reward for nothing, Jiang Liu's heart once again confirmed his game system golden finger, and there was no wisdom at all.

"Master, is there anything you can do to extinguish the fire of this Flaming Mountain!?"

Not to mention what Jiang Liu's heart was thinking because of this triggered task, seeing that the master also nodded and agreed to himself, Sun Wukong looked at Jiang Liu curiously and asked him if he had a way.
