Chapter 642: The Greedy Boatman
readx; On the surface, this thatched hut is very simple, the same as the buildings in most 'tribes', but when Zhang Mu walked in, he realized that there was actually something else in this small thatched hut. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Wow, is this a palace?"
Zhang Mu raised his eyes and looked around, and was speechless for a long time shocked by the scene in the thatched house.
Gold and silver fell all over the floor, the ceiling and walls were all made of gold, and boxes and boxes of treasure were scattered around the hut, and there was nothing but the glittering gold coins and treasures.
In front of Jinshan Yinshan stood a young man with a golden velvet and a laurel crown, with an aristocratic temperament, or how to say, people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles.
The system gave him the name 'Greedy Boatman Arwen'.
When the boatman Awen saw Zhang Mu coming in, he just said lightly, and asked straight to the point: "You want to go to Peacock Island?" ”
"That's right, I'm going to Peacock Island, excuse me, where is the ferry?"
The boatman Arwen smiled and said: "It's easy to go to Peacock Island, just give me 2, 4, 6, 8 gold coins, and I will take you across the river immediately." ”
"What do you mean? 2 gold, 4 gold, 6 gold, 8 gold? ”
"Wrong! It's 200,000 gold coins, 400,000 gold coins, 600,000 gold coins, 800,000 gold coins... The total adds up to 2,000,000 gold coins. The boatman, Arwen, waved his left hand full of gold rings at Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu was stunned when he heard this.
What's going on with this NPC? Was he reincarnated as a poor ghost in his last life? Open your mouth and ask for 2 million gold coins! If you don't have an adventure, it will take at least half a month to accumulate 2 million gold coins on the 9th map! Not to mention those who live 'miserable' on Tier 8 or even Tier 7 maps.
"What, no money?" The boatman Arwen scattered the smile on his face and snorted: "Don't think about going to Peacock Island without money!" Whether to give or not to give, you look at it! The arrogant tone made Zhang Mu feel the urge to pull him out of the screen and beat him up.
Zhang Mu Tie opened the town information with a blue face, after these days of accumulation, there are still more than 7 million gold coins in the town, it's not that he can't afford to pay this high river crossing fee, but this money was originally intended to be used to upgrade the level 3 'Cloud City'... The higher the level of the barracks in the town, the more troops will be produced every day, and of course, the gold and resources required to upgrade will also increase greatly with the level.
Zhang Mu hesitated, did not immediately choose to cross the river for money, but turned around and walked out of the 'thatched house', and began to use the 'boat trick' frantically after coming to the lake, but unfortunately, it backfired, Zhang Mu summoned for a full 10 minutes, and he didn't even seduce a boat.
Seeing that Peacock Island is right in front of you, you can't just give up, right?
Zhang Mu gritted his teeth, turned back to the thatched house, and said fiercely: "Damn programmer! If you cross a small lake, you will charge me 2 million... It's so dark! How long do I have to save up! ”
The boatman Arwen smiled and said, "How is it, have you thought it through?" ”
"Here you go! 2 million! ”
After selecting the 'pay' option, a large pile of gold coins was scattered at the feet of the boatman Arwen, and the lewd and greedy boatman bent down to pick up the gold coins with a smile on his face, and at the same time said, "Go and wait for me outside, and in five minutes, I will take you across the river!" ”
Boredom stood by the lake and waited for 5 minutes, the boatman Arwen really appeared, and with him appeared the golden boat behind him, the whole boat was made of pure gold, and it was also inlaid with countless fist-sized gems of various colors, which was a gorgeous mess.
"Come up!" The boatman Ah Wen waved his hand at Zhang Mu, and when Zhang Mu stepped on the golden boat, he found that the boat was also full of gold coins, but these gold coins were only decorations for him and could not be picked.
The surface of the lake without waves in the ancient well was swung out by the golden pulp, the green mountains and green waters, the bright light was high, looking at the wonderful scenery nearby, Zhang Mu's previous resentment also dissipated with the wind.
The golden boat had just sailed to the middle of the lake, and suddenly, there was a loud 'boom' sound in the distance, Zhang Mu was startled, turned his head to look, his frightened face was white, hundreds of meters away, a surging wave swept over, the huge wave was 20 meters high, and it vaguely looked like a monster was opening its bloody mouth towards itself.
"Wow! Wow wow! Wow wow! How can it be a 'wave in the lake'! My boat can't hold up such a big wave! The boatman, Arwen, pale, screamed in exclamation, and at the same time quickened his oars, and the golden boat suddenly flew forward.
The boat is getting closer and closer to Peacock Island, and the waves in this lake are about to rush over.
'Poof! ''Plop!'' ’
More than ten seconds later, according to the judgment of the system, Zhang Mu knew that he had been washed up on the Peacock Island by the current at the last moment, and when he looked back, the small lake was calm again, as if nothing had happened, and the boatman Ah Wen and his golden boat had disappeared.
Just as Zhang Mu turned around to leave, the sound of the boatman Awen suddenly cried for help behind him, and at the same time, a dialog box popped up on the screen.
The boatman Arwen fell overboard, is there any assistance?
1. Ignore it! Let this greedy guy die!
2. Help him!
"Is there a hidden mission?" Zhang Mu was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately chose the second item, helping others is the foundation of happiness.
To Zhang Mu's slight disappointment, after fishing the boatman Arwen out of the lake, he did not get any hidden rewards or benefits.
"Whew... Call... Call... Thank you, thank you! The boatman, Arwen, fell to his knees by the lake out of breath.
"It's just a gesture, you don't need to thank me." Shooting off the dialog box, Zhang Mu was just about to leave, when he heard the boatman Arwen scream, "Ah! Oh no! My Golden Ship! And my coins! They all fell into the lake! With that, the boatman Arwen turned around and plunged into the lake.
"Holy! What is the situation! Zhang Mu smiled dumbly, this NPC didn't even want his life in order to be greedy for a little money?
"Quick, help me!" The boatman Awen dragged the heavy golden boat to the shore with great effort, Zhang Mu walked up to the front and back, and the system prompted: "The golden boat is too heavy!" Forced rescue will lead to the loss of troops! ”
1. Rescue!
2. Give up!
"The first item! Rescue! "Zhang Mu was determined to see what the benefits of this hidden mission were, stuffed all the Seraphs into military tents, and after transferring a large number of cannon fodder troops, he began to rescue the boatman Arwen, and within a few minutes, the cannon fodder in the troop column was dead, in the words of the system, it was called 'drowning'.
Just when the cannon fodder troops led by Zhang Mu kept dying, leaving him at a loss, the boatman Ah Wen himself gave up the golden ship first, re-landed ashore, and gasped: "Damn! ”
