Chapter 660: The Numbers Game
Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, this is considered to have completed the first ring? The errand fee was only given a thousand, and what the hell is going on with your old glass, do you need to hold it so tightly.
He hurriedly withdrew his hands and fled. Along the way, he was very depressed in his heart, and he only earned less than five hundred immortal crystals for the errand fee of one thousand, excluding the purchase of herbs. If you run into a longer journey, there is also a teleportation array cost.
What about the good rewards? What about the large number of fairy crystals that are good? You won't be fooled by that dead old man!
The more I think about it, the worse my face becomes, but I just did the first ring task, maybe I will get more rewards later. Under the strong pressure of the reluctance in his heart, the divine sense observed the direction of the empty flow valley and rushed over as soon as possible.
The empty flow valley is farther away from the Baicao Gate, and according to the route on the starry sky disk, it is still necessary to take two rounds of teleportation arrays and pass through several cities.
It took me two days to finally find the empty flow valley. Aunt Zhang, dressed as a peasant woman, was squatting outside the valley tending to herbs.
Cheng Ling rushed up and handed her the letter.
Aunt Zhang glanced at it, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "This old immortal still remembers me, thank you Shaoxia, there are some fairy crystals here, just take it as your errand fee! Also, the old body has numb waist and legs during this time, and these herbs can't be taken care of, can you bother Shaoxia to help?"
Cheng Ling took a look at it, 1,200 immortal crystals, 20% more than before. Is it also a task to help take care of herbs? No matter what, seeing that the old woman's posture and cultivation are not high, let's help if I can.
Cheng Ling immediately started to take care of those herbs. For him, herbal medicine could not be more familiar, and in less than an hour, the entire medicine field was well organized.
Aunt Zhang has been watching with a smile on the side, and when he is all done, she said with a smile: "Thank you Shaoxia, your herbs are well taken care of, and the old body is very satisfied." Here are a few spirit runes and some fairy crystals, I hope it will help you. The old man also knew that the shopkeeper of the Danpu in Tianli City seemed to be in trouble, and the young man could go and take a look. ”
Cheng Ling took them one by one, secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect that this was really a task, he had completed another link so quickly, his character was good, and there were even additional spirit rune rewards. Silently counting, this time the immortal crystals reached 1,440. Look at the spirit rune again, there are two circles drawn on it like a ghost drawing talisman, and the rest can't be understood.
He smiled awkwardly and asked Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, I don't know what this spirit rune does?"
"Spirit runes, it's useless, it's just to speed up your speed, as long as you press the spirit rune on your leg, the speed can be doubled, but the time is only one day. ”
Cheng Ling was overjoyed, this spirit rune came in time, and it was faster to complete the task for himself. At that moment, I thanked Aunt Zhang, searched the direction of Tianli City, slapped my palm, pressed the spirit rune on my feet, and rushed out like the wind.
The addition of the spirit rune is powerful, twice as fast as his own simple body method. Now I still have three spirit runes in my hand, but I need to use them sparingly.
But the most headache is the fairy crystal, according to the reward obtained from the previous three-ring task, every time you complete a ring, you can get up to 20% of the reward of the fairy crystal you got before. This should be a long-lasting increment, that is, every time the next ring, it will increase by 20% on the basis of the previous ring.
In this way, if the task of one hundred rings, if each ring has an immortal crystal reward, then the final hundred rings
After that, you will be able to get more than 500 billion astronomical rewards. This situation should be impossible, but even if it is reduced by two percent on the way, only eighty rings can get the immortal crystal reward, and it can reach more than ten billion.
This figure is also very objective, but Cheng Ling is not optimistic. Because according to his own calculations, the rewards that can be obtained in the first fifty rings are very small, and all the immortal crystals rewarded in the first fifty rings are only more than 50 million.
The real chance to earn Immortal Crystals is in the last fifty rings, and almost every time you complete a ring, you can get more than 10 million Immortal Crystals. Compared with spending 50 million immortal crystals to buy the map before, the person who issued the task really took too much advantage.
Because after all, there are definitely a few monks who can complete more than fifty ring tasks in a row, but they have already paid 50 million at one time to buy the map's immortal crystals. On the whole, this time the task is released, and the rewards of the general ledger are indeed very rich, but this is just a number game played by the other party, and in turn it can make a lot of money.
It's like fishing, there's a big bait, but you can't eat it without a certain amount of ability, and you may have to be caught by a fisherman.
If it weren't for Cheng Ling, who has been a business on the earth for many years and knows some financial knowledge, he wouldn't have been able to see it at all.
However, he also had doubts in his heart, such a reward calculation method is very complicated, and only people who are proficient in finance on the modern earth will use it, or they are proficient in formation deduction, and they have studied the I Ching hexagram very thoroughly.
And in this world, what kind of person can play such a number game, playing with the monks of the entire Star Realm?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason. Sometimes he doubts, isn't the person who issued the mission also a traverser? This possibility is not impossible, since he can be soul pierced, there are other traversers who can't keep it.
But I am worried that the other party's conspiracy is still far away, and the most important thing in front of me is the installment set by the old man of the Star Lord's Mansion. A month later, 60 million immortal crystals will have to be paid.
According to his own calculations, only by completing the fifty-one ring tasks in a row within a month can he get a reward of sixty million immortal crystals, and there are still twenty-five days left before the first payment of the arrears. In these 25 days, we must find a way to complete the task of the 48th ring.
But whether he can complete the forty-eight rings in 25 days is still unknown!
"It would be nice if every task was to take care of herbs like Aunt Zhang. ”
Talking to himself, full of confusion about the road ahead. It's really not good, you can only rely on selling pills to get together the immortal crystals. But the price of the pill is not high, the most expensive is the Qingxu Pill, one is sold for 20,000 immortal crystals, and if you refine the pill by yourself, you can refine more than 100 pills at most every day, which is equivalent to two million immortal crystals.
While calculating, he hurried frantically, and finally arrived in Tianli City within a day. After entering Tianli City, he went straight to Danpu to find the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was slightly chubby, and when he saw the guests, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha. Seeing Cheng Ling coming in, he hurriedly asked enthusiastically, "What does the guest officer want?"
Cheng Ling immediately identified himself and told him about the mission.
The shopkeeper's face was bitter, and he said: "Shaoxia came too timely, and our store is short of manpower to send a batch of pills to Wushuang City." Give, these are deposits, and when you arrive at the Wushuang City Danpu, someone will naturally give you the rest of the honorarium. ”
Cheng Ling took it casually, and his divine sense swept away, and there were only 1,800 immortal crystals. With a wry smile in his heart, he asked, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if you buy pills here?"
"Oh, is Shaoxia still an alchemist? What kind of pill to show me. ”
Cheng Ling hurriedly took out the pills in the ring, such as Qingxu Dan, Huanyang Dan, Jin Huandan, Wood Huandan, Water Returning Dan, Fire Returning Dan, and Earth Returning Dan.
The shopkeeper took it and looked at it carefully, nodded silently, and said: "The quality of the pill is very good, this shopkeeper is the master of the Qingxu Pill 20,000 lower grade immortal crystals, and the rest of the pills are 10,000 two-year lower grade immortal crystals, I don't know if the young man is still satisfied with the price?"
Cheng Ling nodded, this price is fair. When all the pills in the ring were taken out, there were more than three hundred.
The shopkeeper calculated a little and said, "There are a total of three hundred and twenty pills here, including one hundred and twenty Qingxu pills and two hundred other pills, totaling four million and four hundred immortal crystals. ”
Cheng Ling took it with satisfaction and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, if you have any problems next time, you can ask Cheng for help." ”
After saying that, he left and headed in the direction of Wushuang City.
Along the way, the mood was much more relaxed, with these more than 4 million immortal crystals finally solved the urgent need, and had a good relationship with the shopkeeper in the Dan shop, in case the immortal crystals were not enough, you can also rely on the pill to replenish, I hope the rest of the tasks will be completed as fast!
Stretch your body to the limit, and with the help of the spirit rune, you can complete the task quickly. Perhaps God heard his prayers, and several tasks in a row were very simple, and it only took three days to come to the tenth ring.
At this point, he also completely let go. This way of completing the task can not only familiarize himself with the various regions and cities on Ling Weixing, but also establish a good relationship with the shops between the cities, at least in the previous nine rings, he has encountered six tasks related to shops.
However, the tenth ring in front of him felt a little different, and the information of the task was very simple: kill five cultivators above the Evil King Sect Void Immortal Realm.
The Evil King Sect is a two-star sect on Ling Weixing, and its location is in the south of Ling Weixing. The monks in this sect have always followed the evil path, and the cultivation method is to improve their cultivation with the essence blood of mortals, and they are like rats crossing the street on Ling Weixing, and everyone shouts and beats them.
It's just that the people of the Evil King Sect also know that they have provoked the anger of the people, and the disciples in the sect have always been very careful, even if they go out, they are dressed in disguise, and it is difficult to tell them.
Cheng Ling suddenly felt a little headache, the information of the Evil King Sect was still asked when he received the task, he was not afraid of killing people, let alone killing evil people. But people are like rats digging holes everywhere, where to find disciples, and they have to find five at once.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, the time spent on this task must be indispensable, and my own time is extremely precious. Probe your sense into the starry sky disk, hoping to find some clues.
But after searching for a long time, I only found a red dot, that is, the sect representing the Evil King Sect. In desperation, he could only follow the instructions of the Starry Sky Disk to go to the base camp of the Evil King Sect to have a look, maybe he was lucky enough to meet a few.
It took two days and a large number of teleportation arrays to finally rush to the south of Ling Weixing. When he came to the red dot indicated by the starry sky disk, he looked up and saw that there were graves like small hills all around, he couldn't help but be speechless, could it be that the Evil King Sect would build the land of the sect in the midst of mass graves?
