Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ultimate Test!
There is no such thing as a free lunch! Murong Feng quickly revisited the meaning of this sentence.
"You're saying you can only use Lucky once every three days?" Murong Feng sat in the tavern, stunned!
"Luck comes at a price!" After pouring three bottles of wine, the old man looked red, and his speech was much more profound.
"So which astrology? What are the limitations? Murong Feng asked.
"Astrology is my major major, and I can do divination three times a day, but I can only guarantee half of the accuracy, mainly because my crystal ball and tarot cards are missing." The old man's face turned red when he said this, obviously duplicitous, "Otherwise, the accuracy of this divination can be improved by one percent!" β
"Crystal ball?" Murong Feng took out the enchanted lucky crystal and put it on the table, and asked, "Can you replace it with this thing?" β
The old man was embarrassed, "I'm talking about crystal balls, spherical crystals, and only in this way can the changes in the stars of the dome be reflected." β
"It's okay! It just so happens that I learned jewelry cutting, so I can help you sharpen it into a spherical shape! Murong Feng waved his hand and asked, "Now let's talk about your treatment!" How much are you going to want? I'm asking every month! Are there any other requirements? β
The old man held the wine bottle and pondered silently for a while, and then he blushed, so shy that "I only need 100 a month" Seeing Murong Feng's eyebrows, the old man immediately changed his words to "10 gold coins a month, and a separate small building, it is best to help me build an astrological tower, well, and you have to take care of the meal, three meals a day, and there must be a bottle of wine for each meal!" β
Murong Feng got up directly and left, the old man grabbed the corner of Murong Feng's clothes, and smiled shyly, "It's done!" Just do it! β
Murong Feng sat back and pouted, "Sign the contract!" Conditions: Three meals a day, tube full! If you perform well, you will receive 1 bounty coin and a bottle of wine! The rest will be left to see how it will perform in the future! β
The old man nodded in agreement with a smile!
[System Prompt: 'Astrologer' Astaran has agreed to your recruitment contract and wants to become your follower.] Do you agree? γ
Murong Feng didn't think about it, and directly agreed! Then he took out a golden gold coin and patted it in front of the old man, pressed it, and said in a deep voice, "This is your travel fee, go to the airport early tomorrow morning and take the spaceship back to Base No. 1, and then go to Fengqi Tower to report, and someone will arrange a place for you to live!" If I don't see you there tomorrow at noon, I'll pay ten times as much gold as you for your head!" Remember? β
The old man looked at the gold coin and swallowed his saliva, and nodded straightly, "A few days ago, I divined a hexagram for myself, saying that there was a great nobleman passing by here, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed here for a few days to steal wine and drink." Don't worry, boss, even if you drive me away now, I won't leave you! Seeing that Murong Feng let go, the old man immediately touched the gold coin and leaned in front of him to smell it, and then bit it lightly, seeing that the tooth marks on the gold coin were clear, he immediately held the gold coin and showed an intoxicated expression, and Murong Feng was cold all over his body!
Being tossed by the old man, Murong Feng naturally lost interest and continued to run to dig up some ice shoots in the middle of the night, and went offline directly in the tavern.
In the early morning of the next day, as usual, when the sky was dark, he got up for morning exercises, but Brother Tai did not appear this time, so Murong Feng carried his sword and wandered around the small courtyard for a long time
After breakfast, Murong Feng entered the game early, and as soon as he logged into the game, he immediately got up and left the camp and went straight to Icewind Valley, trying to make up for the time wasted last night.
"It's a good day." Murong Feng raised his head and looked at the blue sky and sighed. Before she could finish speaking, a flock of crows croaked over her head
"Miss, let's go back and hand in the task first! Wouldn't it be easier to go directly to the auction house to buy ice shoots? Lian'er said with a forced smile.
Murong Feng's face was black, and she raised her foot and kicked at a clump of ice shoots, but its hard texture shocked her right foot numb. The most important point that she forgot was that she didn't learn mining skills! Ice shoots can also be harvested in a very crude way, but they can destroy their quality. After digging up a pile of garbage for a long time, I didn't even dig up half of the finished ice shoots. How can this not make Murong Feng feel discouraged.
And as the sun rose, there were more and more players digging here, and Murong Feng could only reluctantly go home, so as not to stay here any longer and be embarrassed.
Rushing back to the lively Jialan Temple camp and coming to the airport that was cleared first, Murong Feng boarded the spaceship that transported building materials back and forth to the base. Also on the ship were a number of construction workers, all of whom were genuine skilled workers hired by the Jialan Temple from the real world. In addition, there are many players who do odd jobs, and for these ordinary players, the hourly salary offered by the Jialan Temple is definitely a good reward, and if they perform well, they may even have a chance to be absorbed into the guild. But destined to be only a small part. The vast majority of players will receive a night's work in the early morning, then return to the base to have a drink with three or five friends, and then put on a spear and a short cannon to continue to venture back into the wilderness in search of unknown treasures.
Usually a squad of these players is called an Adventurer Platoon.
The open-ended game setting breaks the traditional routine of fighting monsters and upgrading mode, so that countless players can choose their favorite way to enjoy the game world. After all, there are still a few adventurer players who really dare to explore the unknown realm, and the vast majority of players will still follow the crowd, and after enlisting in the army, they will attack again and again under the leadership of the NPCs of the base to hunt those powerful magical beasts, and then earn rich rewards.
As a result, another player squad mode has gradually taken shape, and that is the mercenary group! Unlike legions of guild players, these players who follow the wolf pack model are completely a bunch of crazy people who dare to take on any job as long as they have money to earn. From killing people and stealing goods, to stealing chickens and dogs, there is nothing they dare not do. However, the rules of the game have acquiesced to the existence of such players, so that it has the momentum to continue to grow and develop.
In addition, there are life players who don't like to fight, for example, Murong Feng's cooking master Sun Hai is a typical one.
The cargo spaceship slowly landed at the base airport, Murong Feng got off the plane with the crowd, and then went straight to the military area, during which Murong Feng saw that many level 20 local tyrant players had already purchased mechanical vehicles and galloped on the streets of the base.
According to the game setting, players can learn driving skills as long as they reach level 20, and only 10 gold coins are needed to learn skills, but vehicle mounts are not cheap, and now the base military sells only one kind of mechanical vehicle, that is, locomotives! It's the kind that doesn't fly with two wheels in the front and back. Not only are these wheeled bikes energy-intensive, but they are also unpleasant to ride, and the worst thing is that each locomotive costs three figures, and if you want to modify it, you have to pay an additional fee. But in the eyes of most players at this stage, these dirty-looking wheeled locomotives are like the top sports cars in reality, and every time they roar through the streets, they will attract a high-pitched scream.
Murong Feng was very speechless about this, because she didn't care about these low-grade wheeled locomotives at all, after all, she had driven flying locomotives like the Hummingbird and the Thunder Falcon, and then looked back at these wheeled locomotives that could only crawl on the ground, she really didn't have the slightest interest in it.
When he came to the quartermaster room and found Major Lanxi who was eating breakfast, Murong Feng sat down opposite her very unceremoniously and poured himself a cup of fragrant milk chocolate hot drink. Seeing that Murong Feng was so unpolite, Lan Xi immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "The task is complete?" β
Murong Feng gulped and drank most of the cup of milk chocolate, then directly took out the demon wolf teeth and threw them on the table. Lan Xi suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched the wolf's teeth to look at it for a while, and then threw it back to Murong Feng as soon as he changed his hand, and said at the same time, "This is the task reward, take it." β
Murong Feng took a look at it, and was immediately happy, the original task item disappeared, and was replaced by the [Silver Moon Pendant] task reward earring.

(Skill cooldown: 30 minutes.) οΌ
"You are really labor-saving, I fought in the wilderness in the middle of the night to live and die, but you handed me back what I handed in with your right hand and left hand, even if you sent me away." Murong Feng was equipped with the [Silver Moon Pendant], and saw that there was an extra pair of wolf's tooth-shaped earrings on her delicate right earlobe.
"There's no way around it, a lot of things are just a process, but you have to go." Major Lancey pouted, and was about to issue the third test mission.
Murong Feng raised his hand to stop and said, "Wait a while, I'll ask how many more are there in this test breaking task, don't be endless, there are hundreds of them, then I might as well just give up!" β
"The last one, as long as you complete this last test, you can change to a hidden class!" Lancey smiled and bewitched.
"Alright! Anyway, I've already completed two, and it's not bad for this last step! Murong Feng shrugged helplessly. Lancey then issued her a third test mission. After Murong Feng took the task, he looked at the title of the task, and immediately slapped the case and said angrily, "You are fooling me!" It's impossible for me to complete this task! β
"Oh, Sister Moon Shadow, don't be in a hurry to get angry just yet! It's never too late to read the detailed description of the mission before getting angry! Lancy said with a smile on her face.
Murong Feng sat back angrily, flipped through the task log, and carefully read the task description.
γThree-Tailed Lightning Leopard Huntγ(Final Test)
Mission Description: A badly injured three-tailed lightning leopard appears in a jungle west of the base, find it and kill it while bringing back its core for a final test.
Difficulty: β β β
Reward: Successfully switch to a hidden class!
[This quest is a professional quest and cannot be completed with others.] γ
After Murong Feng finished reading the task, he sneered on the spot, "Are you still a chick who doesn't understand anything?" The three-star difficulty means that the injured leopard has at least third-order strength, plus it is originally a fifth-order strength, compared to ordinary third-order monsters, it will only be stronger than ordinary third-order monsters! Are you going to send me to death? β
Even though the fierce battle with the Silver Moon Demon Wolf made Murong Feng understand that he could use the most powerful sword qi in the game, the problem was that even so, he was still forced by the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, which was only 5 levels higher than himself, and had to use expensive trap mines to subdue that beast.
Now Lan Xi actually wants to let her, a level 10 rookie, hunt the three-tailed lightning leopard whose injured strength should fall to the third order, Murong Feng said that he would not take this task that was clearly sent to death, even if the transfer failed, Murong Feng would not send him to death!
