Chapter 42 Upgrade mission

When it was a mess outside, I actively refine medicines and wanted to take advantage of this to make a fortune in war. After all, the war is about economic strength, and as long as the gangs formed secretly (the government does not recognize them now), they are almost all wealth-level figures.

According to Kongkong'er, the head of the "Xiongba" family is the son of a rich man, and Kongkong'er himself is not necessarily a "proletariat". "Dragon Ya" can bid 10 million gold coins without hesitation. It can be imagined that he is a person who is used to being big money and spending big money. And the leader of the "Xiaoyao Sect" whom he has never met - Li Xiaoyao, is probably not a poor person.

In the past few days, I have refined 11 "Dragon and Tiger Pills", and the attributes are very good. Most of them are around "power + 6, life + 120", and I have used up all the hundred-year-old snow lotus in my hand. Now there are only 3 snow lotus 200 years old, two snow lotus 300 years old and 500 years old. I am reluctant to use these 7 snow lotus in total.

After all, it is very difficult to find snow lotus now. The place where the snow lotus was obtained last time has not grown. I don’t know when it will grow new ones, let alone this kind of top-quality product that has been around for hundreds of years. Therefore, I have kept these snow lotus in case of emergency.

6 of the 11 "Dragon and Tiger Pills" were sold to Kongkong'er, the new brother, at a discounted price of 100,000 gold coins per; the remaining 5 and 3 were placed at the "Tianxia Auction House" in Pangu City for auction, and 2 were placed at the "Tianxia Auction House" in Nuwa City, with an average transaction price of 270,000 yuan, and after deducting the auction fee, it was more than 250,000 yuan. The direct income of the 11 "Dragon and Tiger Pills" was 1.9 million gold coins, which was about 160,000 yuan, which was also a good harvest.

Today, I took the time to look at the "Lin Family Restaurant" and found that it was people coming and going, and the business was very good.

When Master Lin saw me, he said happily: "Xiao Mo, I haven't seen you for many days, so busy?"

"Yes." I took a sip of the hot tea that Master Lin brought to me and sighed: "I have been refining medicine these days. The "Iron Blood Sect" in the city, the "Xiongba" family and the "Xiaoyao Sect" in Nuwa City have had a big fight, which just made me make a fortune in war. By the way, how is the business of the restaurant?"

"Okay! Of course it's good!" Master Lin pointed to the players around him excitedly and said, "Our restaurant is the only restaurant opened by players in Pangu City. The taste is not worse than ordinary restaurants and the price is cheaper than them, so there are many players here and there are many repeat customers."

I know that the most important thing for doing business like restaurants is repeat customers. A stable source of customers is the guarantee of sustainable development. It seems that the restaurant business is really good.

"However, because the business is good, the guy is a little too busy now; and, although the restaurant has two floors, it is still a little small. Can you find a way to expand it?"

I thought for a moment and said, "My man, I can invite a few more, but it is impossible to expand the restaurant because my reputation is not enough. However, it is not impossible to solve it. After the system upgrade, it is stipulated that players with a reputation of 10,000 can have up to 3 different types of shops. As long as we buy another inn and the food provided by the 'Lin Family Restaurant' will be able to solve a large part of the problem."

My idea is to transfer part of the stable customer source of "Lin Family Restaurant" to the inn. Although the inn is mainly accommodation, it also provides food at the same time, so it is equivalent to a small restaurant that can share some of the customer source; at the same time, with the precedent of "Lin Family Restaurant", the inn business is believed to be no worse than that of the restaurant.

Apart from some of the chef's settings, Master Lin knows nothing about other aspects of the game, so he completely agrees with my opinion.

"Okay, that's the decision. But, how about we split the 55% of the money this time, each of which paid half of the gold coins?" The restaurant's business was good, and with the gold coins earned by Master Lin's "Snow Lotus Stewed Catfish" before, it could completely pay half of the price of 50,000 gold coins in a small store.

"Okay! I have no objection." Master Lin's expression on his face moved me.

I easily handled the inn and bought 5 NPCs, one of which was even more a female NPC, who was pretty and charming; of course, if that was the case, it was still good. The worst thing was that her dress was extremely bold, and the thin silk skirt made her figure more perfect, making her charm surge in her beauty. The chief clerk said it was to praise me for the prosperity of Pangu City's economy, which was impossible to buy at all unless you have your own territory; of course, female players can buy female NPCs if they open a store, which is also based on human nature. After all, female players generally like female NPCs.

Two NPCs, one man and one woman, remained in the restaurant, among which female NPCs were specially used to serve female players. The appearance of female NPCs attracted the attention of the majority of players who were eating in the restaurant, especially those male players, who opened their eyes wide and their eyes followed her. Haha, looking at the performance of the male players, I laughed secretly, poor people.

These service NPCs, especially female NPCs, cannot be easily offended. Once they are violated, the ones waiting for the suspension of the account are clearly stipulated by game companies, which is also one of the standards that various countries can pass game review.

The other three NPCs were sent to the newly opened "Lin Family Inn". One of the shopkeepers was responsible for cashiers, and the other two were as friends. It was after the opening that the business was indeed very good because of the "Lin Family Restaurant". Although only less than one-third of the 50 rooms have been in existence, it was already very good to have this result on the first day.

After the "Lin Family Inn" opened, I didn't need to take care of me at all. I just need to give some rewards to the shopkeeper and the client every month to be a hand-off manager. In terms of accommodation, the shopkeeper can handle it alone; as for food, it requires Master Lin to take care of it, and there is no big problem. So within a few days, the "Lin Family Inn" was completely on track and I was free again.

Where is the best place to fight monsters? Tianshan has monsters of all levels, but the more they go up, the more they are, the more powerful they are. And because they are in groups in the mountains and forests, once they get involved, it will be a situation of fighting. If they are some medium and low-level monsters, that's better. I can easily kill monsters by relying on traps, but for me, I get too little experience to kill them now and the upgrade is very slow. However, against those high-level monsters, under the principle of not relying on the power of Xiaobai, I don't have the confidence to come back intact.

In fact, which leveling site, "Snowfield", "Mammoth Plateau" or "Wan Grottoes", is not like this?

As I thought about it, I suddenly remembered something that I had always wanted to do but had forgotten, which was to upgrade the "Qiankun Ring". The current "Qiankun Ring" only has 20 units of space, which is still too small for me. After all, hunters' harvest orders are the most types, because animal meat and other materials need to occupy a certain amount of space, so now when I go out, I always forget to bring my own baggage to fill the extra things. After all, it is not my habit to throw away items casually.

Now that there is nothing to do and I can't decide where to fight monsters, I just happen to do the upgrade task of "Qiankun Ring".

The "Ranker Association" is located in the center of the inner city of Pangu City. It is built with the "Swordsman Hall" and "Swordsman Hall" where you are in office. However, it is much larger than these inaugural centers.

This is not the first time I have been to the "Ranker Association". As early as the beginning of the game, I visited the entire Pangu City. Of course, this "Ranker Association" is also one of the places I visited. It was also at that time that I knew here that you could publish some things that you could not complete as tasks or earn some tasks to earn rewards. Of course, the published tasks require NPC to be reviewed before they can be registered in the taskbar.

At that time, I was thinking of publishing a task to find "Snow Lotus" in the "Ranker Association", but a person in charge at that time told me that no one could complete this task at the level of the player at that time, so I advised me not to waste gold coins in vain. Now I think that the NPC, who is a real person, is really a good person, and can think about the players.

I came to the task window, and a beautiful girl sat behind the table and looked at me, smiling and said, "Sir, do you need my help?"

Her smile was very beautiful and her lines were very soft. It seemed that she was also played by a real person. This idea flashed through her mind, but there was no fluctuation on the surface, and she said, "I want to upgrade my 'Qiankun Ring'." As she said that, she shook her left hand.

The girl's face flashed with surprise and then recovered, saying, "Okay. But you need to pay a spider leg and a piece of titanium ore. The higher the spider leg level, the higher the titanium ore, and the more space your "Qiankun Ring" gets. The next upgrade time is one year after the game. Of course, before looking for spider legs and titanium ore, you'd better become a member of our association first, otherwise you won't be able to take on the task."

"Thank you." I handed my name to the NPC with the number 1281. The girl took the name and touched it. She saw a white light flashing, and the name turned into a green color. There was a sword logo in front of her name.

At the same time, the girl told me that this membership certificate is my proof of the "Ranker Association". I can use it to receive tasks, and the reward for the task will be automatically injected into this membership certificate after the task is completed. The membership certificate can also be consumed in stores opened by the government and cannot be used by outsiders. It is equivalent to a real-world credit card, but the protection performance is much stronger.

"I have completed the procedures for you. As long as you give me the two items I mentioned within a week, I can upgrade the 'Qiankun Ring' for you; as for the location of the task items, you need to find it yourself, and the association will not give any prompts."

It seems that this task is not as difficult as imagined! Spiders are very familiar with the "Wan Grottoes" outside Pangu City. Although this monster that grows in the dark is not very strong, it is very troublesome to deal with because of the group. Some people have long criticized the spiders in "Wan Grottoes" for a long time. For a professional player, searching for game information online is a must-do every day.

As for titanium ore, although I have never heard of it, I believe they are all produced in some mines. Kongkonger and their "Iron Blood Sect" have special blacksmiths. Although there are very few blacksmiths who can build equipment at present, and at most they also have bronze equipment, there are still many experts in mining. The last manganese ore and tungsten ore were obtained by their blacksmith's mining. I believe this titanium ore is no problem.

I sent a "Flying Pigeon Passing" to Kongkong'er. After about 20 minutes, I finally had a reply, saying that the blacksmith team in their sect had never dug up such ore, and I had never even heard of it. Isn't I even heard of it? Is there anything like this? Is it just memorized it like this?

You should know that the task of upgrading the "Qiankun Ring" is not fixed. Each task is randomly generated, but there are still rules to follow, that is, the higher the comprehensive ability, the more difficult the task is. I finally understand why that NPC girl has a surprised expression. It seems that this titanium ore is really hard to find!

I immediately went offline and searched on the game forum. There were many articles about ores, but there were almost no mention of "titanium ore"; there was only one article. A player called "Fenglin Volcano" got this "titanium ore" in a monster kill. He didn't know its specific effect. However, when he was sold to the system store, a small piece of "titanium ore" was worth 5,000 gold coins, which made him very happy, so he posted his experience on the forum.

I immediately "Flying Geo" sent a letter to this player named "Fenglin Volcano" and asked about the relevant situation. After a while, I replied. This guy introduced me in detail that this "titanium ore" was obtained when he killed a monster called "Copper and Iron Beast" in Xuanwu City, and said enthusiastically that he would be my tour guide and help me find the "Copper and Iron Beast".

Since I was so enthusiastic, I couldn't refuse, so I took Xiaobai to the "carriage house". But something went wrong when choosing a carriage. Ordinary small carriages could not accommodate Xiaobai, a giant creature. After all, Xiaobai is two adults today, so the staff specially changed me to a very wide super luxury carriage. According to my estimate, it can 10 people lie on it without appearing crowded. The decoration is even more gorgeous, showing the essence of traditional Chinese art.

But - the price is a little bit expensive, from Pangu City to Xuanwu City in the extreme south, it costs a full 10,000 gold coins. My first impression at that time was that I met a profitable businessman. The person in charge of this "Carriage Store" was obviously a person like Zhang San from the auction house, with real people, and their bonuses all depend on the profits of the "Carriage Store".

But I had to surrender because I didn't want Xiaobai to fly from the north of the Eastern Continent to the south. It not only required consuming Xiaobai's huge physical strength, but also too late in time. After all, in order to save players' time, the game company can reach Xuanwu City in just half a day if it takes a carriage, and if Xiaobai flies by himself, it will probably take at least four or five days.

I took out a gold ticket of 10,000 gold coins. I really wanted to beat the smiling face in front of me, but when I thought of the punishment of PK service NPC, I would rather forget it. Hehe, wait and see! Looking at the gradually blurred figure, I swear in my heart that I will build a carriage myself in the future, grab all his business, and let his bonus go to hell.

However, this luxurious horse carriage is indeed extraordinary. Not only does it run very smoothly, it is like walking on flat ground, but there are also various entertainment facilities in the carriage for you to enjoy; exquisite meals, fresh fruits, and especially the two pots of "Shili Xiang" are actually the kind of 50-year-old wine. Hehe, this is a good thing that "Tianxia Restaurant" does not have. With it, I believe that Master Qu Yezi has a hundred times more spirit and creates the best equipment.

However, since there are two pots in total, I enjoyed one of them without hesitation. The taste is indeed several times better than the ordinary "Shili Xiang". The fragrance even spreads out, filling the entire carriage. Even Xiaobai, who was originally closed his eyes and resting, was attracted. I really didn't expect that Xiaobai, who usually had no chance to drink, immediately acted coquettishly at me as soon as he smelled the aroma of the wine. His neck kept rubbing against me, and his black eyes were staring at the "Shili Xiang" in my hand.

There is nothing I can do. Xiaobai rarely acts coquettishly and does not have the chance to eat good things. So as soon as it acts coquettishly, I gave Xiaobai half of the pot of "Shili Xiang" left in my hand and poured it into my mouth one by one.

The wine continued to enter the eagle's beak and soon it was seen. But Xiaobai was obviously not satisfied. He smacked the eagle's betting on another pot of "Shilixiang", which was terrifyingly bright.

I sighed helplessly, forget it, if I go back to Pangu City, I will take the carriage again. This time I will give all the two pots to Xiaobai.

"Oh, you are such a drunkard! Why didn't I notice it before?" I touched Xiaobai's head and cursed.

Xiaobai's response was to act coquettishly more intimately. It seemed that Xiaobai would definitely become an alternative "drunk" in the future.

After walking around, the carriage finally arrived at Xuanwu City after most of the day.

After getting off the car, Xiaobai's huge body caused a little chaos, and it was not until I let it take off. During the carriage, I saw the "Fenglin Volcano", dressed in a standard swordsman, with a huge long sword on his back, and the weight did not look very light.

"Wow! Brother, you are so awesome! There is actually a bald eagle as a pet, and she also rides in this luxurious carriage. It costs 10,000 gold coins!" Feng Linhuoshan's eyes looked at me were obviously filled with shadows.

"Hello, my name is Moshui." It seems that this is a playful character. It is the most comfortable to work with such people, and you don't have to worry about all kinds of disadvantages.

"Haha, Fenglin Volcano, you know." Fenglin Volcano shook my hand slightly, was very interested in Xiaobai, and asked, "How did you catch this pet? I heard that you need to learn a skill of 'submission', right?"

"Yes!" I glanced at Xiaobai who was soaring in the air and said, "I was very lucky to have a copy of "Submission Technique", and then I met Xiaobai who was seriously injured; Oh, Xiaobai is the name of a bald eagle." Although Fenglin Volcano seems to be a person worthy of close friendship, I don't want to reveal my secret at this stage.

"Ah--You are so lucky! I guess your hidden attribute is very high. Alas, I'm not bad. I still don't have a good skill yet, so I only get this long sword." As he said that, "Fenglin Volcano" patted the huge sword sheath behind him with pride.

"Oh, this sword is very good?" I looked at the giant sword that looked inconspicuously. If I had to say the characteristics, it was that the sword was very wide and long, probably more than 1.5 meters away. It was like a tail dragging on Fenglin Volcano.

"Of course!" Feng Linhuoshan said proudly: "Don't look at this sword being inconspicuous, it is silver equipment, and its attributes are very good. Power + 20, attack + 10, a total of 50 attacks were added, and the durability reached 400, which is amazing."

Adding 50-point attack weapon is indeed good. It seems that this is a weapon that specializes in power, and at the same time requires the player's strength to be very high. Then Fenglin Volcano is just a powerful swordsman. Seeing that he is only about 1.7 meters tall, he must be very funny to use such a big sword.

"That's really good!" Although I felt very funny, I still said sincerely.

Seeing that he was still very stinky, I kept interrupting: "By the way, that 'copper and iron beast'--"

"Ah--" Feng Linhuoshan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I almost forgot the serious business. Come on, I will take you to find the 'Copper and Iron Beast'!"

I greeted Xiaobai in the air and followed Fenglin Volcano, who was walking fast in front of me. I was secretly shocked at his speed. A swordsman with advantages in strength and speed must have a great strength.

Walking along the way, Fenglin Volcano told me that monsters like "Copper and Iron Beast" are very rare even in Xuanwu City, and they are a monster with very strong defense. Most people rarely know their habitat. Of course, this "ordinary person" does not include him "Fenglin Volcano".

As for the reason, I can probably guess even if I don’t say it. Even if I have a piece of “titanium ore” of 5,000 gold coins, I will be moved by it, let alone the “Fenglin Volcano”, a little rich fan who seems to be full of money. I guess he has put a lot of sweat on it. But he was able to post this matter so generously on the forum and took me to kill the “Copper and Iron Beast” very enthusiastically, which itself shows the true nature of “Fenglin Volcano”.

"Volcano, let's do this. This time I only have the things on 'titanium ore' and 'copper and iron beast'. Other equipment, including the coins dropped, are all yours. Is this distribution appropriate?" Since "Fenglin Volcano" is so generous, I don't care about this little money.

When I heard me say this, the wealthy expression of "Fenglin Volcano" was revealed again, but this time, I seemed to have seen something else besides it. Although I don't know what it is, it is definitely not malicious.

Shaking my head in confusion, I followed the "Wind Forest Volcano" toward a sparse forest land.
Chapter completed!
