The palace was unusually deserted, and there was no one else except a few guards at key locations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he passed through a palace again, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Kalia, are you the princess of the kingdom?" ”

Kalia paused obviously, stopped, turned his head and said, "Before. ”

"Before?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled.

"Half a year ago, my father died of illness and I succeeded him." Kalia said it plainly.

“……”

Ouyang Shuo was embarrassed, it turned out that Kalia was not a princess, but a veritable queen of Atlantis.

"Mourning!" Ouyang Shuo was a little apologetic.

Kalia smiled, "Father is walking peacefully, which is also a relief!" ”

Ouyang Shuo was silent, that is to say, the burden of the Atlantis clan was all on the woman in front of him? No wonder Kalia had vicissitudes in his eyes at such a young age that did not match his age.

The two walked in silence, and finally came to a large hall in the depths of the palace. I don't know where Kalia pressed a mechanism, and the floor of the main hall slowly descended, and then entered an underground cave.

The cave is so huge that you can't see the edge at a glance, and the high dome is twenty meters high. The whole cave looks a little dark and damp, only in the center, there is a dazzling golden light.

In the middle of the cave is a golden pool of one meter long and one meter wide, and the viscous golden liquid flows from the pool, which is almost drying up. Directly above the pool was a fist-sized golden crystal, shaped like the purple crystal hanging around Kalia's neck.

Like the purple crystals, the golden crystals are also dull, as if they are about to fall into the water at any moment. Even the afterglow still illuminates the pool, shining with golden light.

The golden crystals are surrounded by irregular stone shields, and the surface of the shield is carved with a human face, which is lifelike. They are like guards, loyally guarding the golden crystals.

Ouyang Shuo counted rudely, and there were twelve shields, large and small.

"It's the Golden Magnetoite, and it's the source of energy for our Atlantean civilization. 10,000 years ago, disaster suddenly befell the empire, and it was the magnet stone that formed an energy barrier that sheltered this corner of the place, and was buried deep under the sea along with the ruins of the city. "The magnetostone is the lifeblood of Atlantis. ”

"You have the same around your neck?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Not bad." Kalia nodded, "Magnetoite absorbs sunlight and converts cosmic energy into energy. From low to high, it can be divided into five levels: white, green, blue, purple and gold. Low-grade magnetites are all derived from high-grade magnetite. ”

"It depends, something is wrong with the golden magneto?" Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to lead the topic to the task point.

At this time, the ocean-going fleet led by Zheng He was maneuvering with the Spanish fleet at sea, and every moment of Ouyang Shuo's delay meant that the ocean-going fleet was in more danger.

Kalia's eyes darkened, "Not bad. The energy shield formed by the magnetite consumes a lot of energy, and it lasts for so long, even if the magnetite is strong, it can no longer support it. ”

"Is there anything I can do?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Yes." Kalia nodded.

At this moment, a system prompt sound sounded in Ouyang Shuo's ears.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes and officially opening the S-level large-scale story quest [Disappearing Atlantis]. Background: 10,000 years ago, a tsunami and earthquake suddenly destroyed the city of Atlantis and sank to the bottom of the sea, but a small number of people survived under the protection of the golden magnetoite.

Requirements: Fill all the gold liquid in the golden pool, charge the golden magnetoite, and re-elevate the vanished city of Atlantis to the surface of the sea and reappear in the world.

Reward: Unknown. Friendly reminder: Choose different quest branches, players will get different quest rewards. If the mission fails, there will be corresponding penalties, please choose the task side carefully. ”

"Branch 1: Complete the story task alone, and after completing it, you will be rewarded with one of Atlantis' top technologies, a purple crystal, 50,000 merit points, 150,000 reputation points, and several other rewards."

"Branch 2: Share story missions and invite other players to complete them together. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with an Atlantis Intermediate Technology, a Blue Crystal, 10,000 merit points, and 30,000 reputation points. ”

"Friendly reminder: If the player chooses branch one, 200,000 gold coins, 100,000 merit points, and 300,000 reputation points will be deducted if the mission fails. If the deduction is insufficient, the corresponding real-world achievement points will be deducted directly; If the actual achievement value is not enough to deduct it, it will directly turn into a negative number until the repayment is completed. ”

"If the player chooses Side 2, there will be no mandatory penalty for failing the mission."

The difficulty of the two side quests is very different, the rewards of the quests are also very different, and the penalties for failing the quests are even more different.

The former is high-risk, high-reward; The latter is low-risk, and the rewards are considerable.

If you weren't a crazy gambler, you wouldn't have chosen Side Quest One. I also want to know how difficult it is to complete the S-level story mission independently, and it is almost impossible.

In his previous life, Pique struggled again and again, but he still gave up the temptation of branch one and chose branch two.

If Ouyang Shuo didn't have the advantage of being reborn, I am afraid that he would not choose the option of nine deaths and one life like Branch One. Now it is different, he has the confidence to complete this branch task alone.

"Select Branch One." Ouyang Shuo was categorical.

"System prompt: The task branch has been selected and cannot be changed."

As soon as the system prompt ended, Kalia continued as if instructed to do so: "The liquid gold in the pool is actually made from gold, and only five drops of liquid gold can be refined from a gold coin. ”

"Huh~~~"

Even if Ouyang Shuo was mentally prepared, he didn't feel that he gasped.

According to the standard titration, one liter of molten gold is enough for 10,000 drops of molten gold, which requires 2,000 gold coins to refine. The pool in front of me is one meter long, one meter wide, and one meter deep, enough to hold one cubic meter, or 1,000 liters of molten gold.

This means that it would take two million gold coins to fill the pool. At this stage, on a global scale, it is estimated that Ouyang Shuo alone can come up with two million gold coins at once.

I have to say that in his previous life, Pique's choice was very wise. It's no wonder that this story mission in the previous life was involved in the participation of hundreds of thousands of players. It is almost impossible to fill the pool on your own.

Ouyang Shuo is about to make the impossible possible now, and he is confident that Gaia will not launch a mission that will make players lose money. With such a demanding setting, the rewards after completion must be very rich.

"Got it!"

Ouyang Shuo nodded, directly removed the storage bag, and aimed at the pool. I saw that the gold coins were like flowing water, tilting down from the storage bag, converging into a golden trickle.

As soon as the golden trickle was poured into the pool, it was refined into a drop of gold liquid under the action of a mysterious force, and began to flow at the bottom of the pool.

When Kalia saw this, a dazzling sparkle appeared in his eyes.

In fact, with the wealth of Atlantis, it is impossible for the treasury not to have even two million gold coins. Even if you don't, you can slowly collect it at the bottom of the sea in 10,000 years.

At the bottom of the vast sea, I don't know how many wrecks there are, and how much wealth there is, buried in the depths of the seabed silt along with the wreck, and no one cares.

The Atlanteans possessed underwater breathing apparatus, and with patience, in 10,000 years, they could completely turn over the entire Mediterranean, and even the Red Sea.

Unfortunately, the gold coins of the aborigines are not valid against the pool.

Gaia is set up like this, purely to give players a problem.

If you choose side quest 2, players will not only need to obtain a scuba apparatus, but also have to pass five levels and pass multiple tests to reach the surviving land of Atlantis.

When you get to the surviving land, you have to constantly do daily tasks and brush up Atlantis' favorability to gain access to the palace. This will allow the player to drop gold into the Golden Pool.

Gaia set it up to increase player engagement in the story quests, and to take the opportunity to promote the vanished Atlantean civilization and be wary of future generations.

After all, human civilization is a thing of the past for the planet.

Maybe their generation, even the fifth generation of humans on Earth. Thousands of years later, when the earth's magma erupts and cools again, it will surely be full of vitality again.

When that happens, maybe humanity will reappear on Earth and become the new ruler of Earth.

At that time, the traces left on the earth in this life will be regarded by the new generation of human beings as ancient civilizations, and they will become myths and legends, and there is no way to verify them.

……

The golden trickle, endlessly, flowed endlessly.

Ouyang Shuo looked at the number of gold coins in the attribute panel, and kept jumping at an indistinguishable speed, but there was a rare peace in his heart.

No matter how you keep it, the two million gold coins will have to be spent.

In Friendship City, Ouyang Shuo consumed a million gold coins. In Atlantis, he will spend another two million gold coins. As a result, there is only one million gold coins left in the storage bag.

really responded to that sentence: money comes quickly, and it is spent quickly.

Injected with a large amount of gold coins, the liquid gold fills the pool at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the water level continues to rise, steaming out bursts of golden mist.

The golden magneto above the pool immediately turned on the whale swallowing mode, like a high-horsepower suction fan, sucking a large stream of golden mist into it.

The dim magnetoite slowly exudes a dazzling brilliance, becoming more and more dazzling.

The shield surrounding the golden magnet stone seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, and the lines on the surface began to light up little by little, constantly rotating around the magnet stone.

The further you get behind, the faster the shield turns.

Later, Ouyang Shuo could no longer see the shadow of the magnetic stone, and could only see an increasingly dazzling golden light radiating from the center of the shield, rushing straight into the sky.
