Chapter 25: The Essence of the Queen
"Oh my God! Really...... Oh! β
The big tiger's burning eyes revealed the hunger and thirst of desire, but the big hand he slowly stretched out was knocked out by me.
"It's so stingy, I can't even look at it!" The big tiger rubbed his red palm and yelled at me angrily.
"Do you have eyes on your hands? See if you want to touch it? I don't have Braille on it! "I'm not weak and I reply to the big tiger.
"Okay, okay, what's the noise, big tiger, do you know something?" Seeing that the task materials that were close at hand were about to be swept away by the big tiger's heartless eyes, the assassin was a little anxious, and hurriedly pulled the big tiger behind him, and then made a look, and asked the two girls to drag the big tiger to the back of the team.
Hmph, you also have today? This Assassin brother is truly close to my heart.
"Brother, we don't know Taishan, I don't know that my brother has such a skill, and he can get so many materials, how offended, please forgive me."
The polite words are actually a foreshadowing for the next business to be negotiated, but I don't expect these materials to bring me a lot of profits, but what I am curious about is the reward of this task.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Jiang Ruoqinghe, and I am an assassin; This mage is my younger brother, named Jiang Ruoqingfeng; The soldier next to him is my friend, called Jiang Hai Wubian; And these two mage beauties are the Purple River Wind Chimes and the Purple River Autumn Moon,...... As for the Big Tiger Brothers......"
"Ahem, he doesn't need to be introduced, he doesn't want to hear it."
I stopped Jiang Ruoqinghe's introduction, and by the way, I glanced at the big tiger who was still angry in the distance.
"I guess you've already heard of my words, in the next ......, Xingyu."
"Xingyu!"
My euphemistic introduction, but in exchange for everyone's eyes widening incredible.
"It's the star who triggered the hidden mission in Yinxian Village?" The purple river wind chimes fluttered their big eyes and looked me up and down in surprise.
"In the past, let's not mention it, don't mention it, let's talk about the things in front of us." The vanity after being noticed by beautiful women made me float a little, and I quickly diverted the topic and pulled the attention back to the matter at hand.
"Yes, yes, it's no wonder, Brother Xingyu can trigger such a huge task, there must be something unknown to the people, and it is reasonable to get these [insect shells]." Qinghe's sycophant is really hidden.
"It can be seen that all brothers and sisters are affectionate and righteous friends, so I also want to make a convenience today, first, to make friends with you, and secondly,...... I'm also curious about the task you are talking about, and if you allow it, I hope to let my brother get a piece of the pie. β
I didn't bother to beat around the bush with them, I directly opened the conditions in the clear place, and answered in one or two words whether it was okay or not, and I didn't want to delay my time.
"Happy, Brother Xingyu is really temperamental." Jiang Haiwubian, who hadn't spoken much for a long time, stood up and took the lead in expressing their agreed-upon thoughts, and everyone on the side also nodded.
Although Dahu was very unhappy, he couldn't say anything in front of the interests of the collective, so he could only remain silent.
"It's not a secret, we are all classmates studying art together, and we have a very good relationship on weekdays, so we got together in the game, and we couldn't ask for a bold friend like the Xingyu brothers."
"Don't Brother Xingyu Brother Xingyu is called, it looks rusty, just call me Xingyu."
Qinghe came forward to shake hands with me to express his cordiality, and everyone was relieved and relaxed, and came forward to add friends with me.
The originally empty friend list suddenly became lively.
"Big Tiger, come over and admit your mistake to Xingyu, you look at the demeanor of others, and then look at your stingy appearance."
Qinghe beckoned to the big tiger who was left out in the cold, and the big tiger came over and wrote a look of reluctance on his face.
"Alas, forget it, I don't love being strong, and we don't dare to force it if Dahu classmates are not happy, if there is a chance in the future, just contact the drifting bottle." Since the current wind is blowing in my direction, I naturally want to make good use of the advantages at hand and taunt this big tiger fiercely.
At the beginning of the village, you lost my face, and now I want to get it all back, and I must teach you the truth of feng shui in turn.
"Xingyu, forget it, you don't remember the villain, although the big tiger has a stubborn temper, but his heart is not bad, let's expose this matter."
Qinghe is still a friend of Dahu after all, and no matter how he says, he will be towards his own people, so I can't continue to publicize anything, just smile, add friends with Dahu, and take a step back.
"[Insect shells], I don't have many here, just twenty."
After a polite greeting, I took out all the materials in my backpack and filled them with a handful.
"I'm Cao! That's enough to do it four times! β
From their surprised expressions, it was not difficult to see that the difficulty of this task was indeed not small, and such a handful of them was enough to exclaim.
"Xingyu, although this task can only be taken once, the upper limit of a single material delivery can reach five, if you still have it, you might as well take out more to maximize the task reward." Qinghe and Qingfeng, the two brothers, are very greedy, and they even suspect that I am hiding private money, so they have always asked me to take out more.
Why do you think it's sheep dung and eggs from the grass? Pick up a handful, this is what I bought in exchange for Brother White Feather's life!
Although some are not authentic.
"You two really think highly of me, I also followed the task, found a wormhole in the far side of the village, brushed the worms all over the hole, and barely made up these, the only embarrassment is that those bugs are non-renewable, so I can't help any more."
I spread my hands and shrugged my shoulders in frustration, and this answer instantly dimmed everyone's expectant eyes.
"It's a bit too much to be thankful that you can get this, and then you need it like a bottomless pit like a snake." Zihe Qiuyue looks young, but she speaks very well.
"Yes, yes, that's right, I'm not right, since the task can be completed four times, then take out a separate whole reward to Xingyu, you don't have any opinions, right?" Qinghe stood up and expressed his attitude, probably because he was afraid that what he just said would hurt me, so he hurriedly took out some benefits to stabilize my heart.
I looked at the people who nodded in agreement, and the feeling of being recognized was a little dark.
Then you have to agree, do you still dare to have opinions?
The entrance of the tailor's shop.
Standing at the door waiting we were chatting, Qinghe walked out with a cloth bag from inside, happy with a spring breeze, seeing our look back in anticipation, Qinghe lifted the cloth bag and patted it gently in front of him.
"A bag full of money, a full eighty silver coins!"
"Wow, get rich!!"
"Haha, I'm going to buy a lot of things!!"
As if the wish had been granted, the crowd began to cheer happily.
I was left standing there with a bewildered expression.
Your sister!! I thought it was some kind of baby! Twenty silver coins if you dare to get it??
excuse meοΌοΌοΌ
But if you think about it carefully, in fact, I have some expectations that are too high, from getting the Soul Binding Bowl, to finding many herbs in the Poison Worm Valley, and even just earning a lot of wealth from Lang Ye, I have experienced far more twists and turns than ordinary players like them, in comparison, the task that should have been a super high reward in the early stage is a little insignificant in my eyes.
The current exchange rate should be one gold coin for fifty yuan, and the ratio of gold coins, silver coins and copper coins is 1:100 in turn.
In this way, twenty silver coins is forty pieces of silver, and the remaining sixty silver coins are only one hundred and twenty.
Then excuse me, why are you so happy because of the money for a meal of KFC??
My doubts were still broken by a discerning person, and the slightly mature Jiang Hai Wubian saw my thoughts, and whispered his opinion softly in my ear.
"It's like people grabbing red envelopes, in the red envelope group of one and two points every day, suddenly grabbing a five-cent one, so what is his mood?"
This vivid metaphor made me suddenly enlightened, and I tacitly looked at Jiang Hai, and nodded with him understandingly.
"This one belongs to Xingyu, you can divide the rest, remember to give more to the two ladies."
Qinghe dispersed the reward on the spot, then gently patted me on the shoulder, motioning for me and him to go in again.
Although this move is a bit abrupt, I can also guess a general reason, eighty percent of the time is that there is a follow-up task after the material is obtained.
I turned my head to look at the people who were only concerned about sharing the spoils, and then quietly followed Qinghe into the tailor's shop while they were not paying attention.
"Boss, the material was found by my friend, you can ask him any questions." Qinghe introduced me to the boss behind the counter, who looked up at me, quickly walked out of the counter, and pulled the two of us to the table next to us to sit down.
"Little brother, let me tell you the truth, where did you get these materials?" The boss reached out and showed the materials he had just handed him, staring at me with a serious gaze.
It's easy to deceive Qinghe and their unsuspecting players, but the system NPCs I think I can't hide it, since they can have such abnormal behavior, it means that there must be a following.
"Slaughtered an anthill and barely collected some."
I was honest about the origin of the material, and this statement happened to be correct with what they had just said, so as not to make Qinghe doubt me.
"Bloody ants?" When the boss heard my answer, he asked in a hurry.
"Yes."
After an affirmative reply, the tailor boss showed an incredulous look in his eyes and a gaping mouth.
He calmed down a little, then turned to me and asked, "Are you confused, how do I know?" β
Oops? You're a dead NPC and you're still selling me off? How do you know it's my, could it be that the blood worm dragged a dream for you after he died?
"Perhaps, it's because the patterns and colors on different insects are different, and the blood ants happen to be easy to distinguish, so boss, you only know by the patterns on the shell, right?"
Qinghe interjected very incomprehensibly, breaking the mysterious atmosphere created by the boss.
"Ahem...... the young man is really smart...... is indeed like this......"
It didn't stump our boss, some of his faces couldn't hang up, and he kept looking away to escape his embarrassing situation.
Oh~, Qinghe, you really don't know how to be a man~
"Bloody ants, that is a famous brutal insect colony in the Valley of Poisonous Insects, in the early years, there were many knights in the village who went on an expedition, although they overcame the harsh environment and defeated many terrible insects, but none of them survived the siege of the bloody ant colony."
The boss returns to the mission plot and begins to describe the past of the year.
"After all, it's not about coveting the legendary queen essence."
"Queen Essence?" Suddenly, the noun made me and Jiang Ruoqinghe ask out loud together.
"Yes, you didn't find the queen ant in the cave after you slaughtered the blood ants?" The boss looked at the puzzled expressions of the two of us, frowned and asked, as if some treasure had been lost by me.
"Wait a minute!"
However, before we could reply, the boss suddenly remembered something, slapped the table and stood up, staring at me with round eyes like lychees, as if he was looking at a figure that made him feel incredible.
"You just said you slaughtered an anthill!!???"
