Shadow monk of online game

Chapter 28 The Mysterious Ivan

The task difficulty in the game is divided into seven levels: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D. According to the nature, it can be divided into main task, random task, guild task, job transfer task, hidden task, script task, etc.

Needless to say about the main task, everyone knows what is going on, the task is not too difficult, but the reward is very high, the difficulty system is D-SS.

Random tasks are randomly generated from NPCs, such as finding people, collecting, killing monsters, sending letters, and delivering goods. Although the rewards are average, they are large in number and easy to complete.

Guild tasks must first join the corresponding associations, such as Shadowless Guild, Ultimate Blade Guild, Fire Magic Guild, etc., which are released by the management personnel of the guild. It is slightly more difficult than random tasks, more targeted, and the difficulty factor is DS .

Job transfer task: Each player must go through three job transfers. Each job transfer must pass the test. The difficulty is relatively high. After completion, there is a chance to get stunts, treasures, a lot of gold coins and reputation.Difficulty factor A-SS.

Hidden missions refer to missions that cannot be received normally and are triggered by special circumstances, special time, special characters or props. Generally, there are top-quality equipment rewards, and there are also many prestige and gold coins.Difficulty factor D-SS.

As the name suggests, the script task is a task that triggers a plot. It is rarer than the hidden task. It is extremely difficult and the reward is absolutely high.Completing a script task may even change the pattern of the entire game world and open a new era.Difficulty factor S-SS level!
The task that Lu Ping took was obviously a script task, but it was a D-level task, so he was not sure if it was an official script task.

Ivan left without saying a word: "When you get it, draw a white circle on the door of the tavern, and I will come to you."

Lu Ping was a little conflicted. If it was really a script task, he had to complete it no matter what, because there might be follow-up tasks in the future; but if he missed it or was found out that he did it, he couldn't stay in Harmondale. If you go down, the great general in the world will have no place for him to stand. To steal or not to steal?

Ivan must have approached him because of his high evil reputation, but in fact he has done no other bad things other than killing the prophet. Will there be bad consequences for doing things for Ivan, which confirms what the prophet said " Will go to darkness" prophecy?

Damn it, it doesn't matter whether he is righteous or evil, I will do things for whoever gives me treasures!I'm just about to go to Prague to pick up the quest, so let's go and see the situation first.

The headquarters of the Victory Chamber of Commerce is a large and gorgeous house. There are two guards in leather armor holding short knives at the door. From time to time, some businessman-like NPCs walk in and out.

Lu Ping walked over and said to the guard, "My name is Lu Buping. I was called by Bruce, the captain of the gate guard. I want to see your president."

A guard hurriedly said: "Great, the president is waiting for you, please follow me!"

Lu Ping followed him in, walked through a large courtyard, entered a hall where many people worked, and turned a few times along a corridor, and came to a luxuriously decorated office. A big fat man dressed like a nobleman shy The beer belly is pacing up and down irritably.

Lu Ping took a quick glance, saw at least seven or eight vases, and couldn't help but secretly complained. Ivan didn't say what the vases looked like, which one was it?
Bragg yelled, "Get out of here, I told you I don't have time to take care of those messy things!"

The guard hurriedly said, "Master President, he was introduced by Captain Bruce..."

Bragg immediately regained his spirits and hurried over to greet him: "Great, great, finally someone is here to deal with this matter... Hey, you are not a guard, you are so young and have little experience, you can help What are you busy with?"

Lu Ping said coldly: "If I don't have enough ability, will Captain Bruce send me?"

Prague's face was like a chameleon, and he immediately smiled again: "Yes, yes, so what are you going to do?"

Lu Ping said, "Tell me about the situation first."

"Yes, yes, three days ago, my dearest daughter Shirley went out of the city to relax. The gate guards saw her go out, but no one saw her come back. Maybe she was kidnapped by gangsters , but until now no one has sent a blackmail letter, maybe she got lost, my God, what will happen to her if she stays alone in the wild for three days, I only have such a precious daughter..."

Lu Ping asked: "Is there anyone suspicious, or clues?"

Prague wiped his tears: "There are gangsters on the road from the southwest to Macedonian City. They have attacked our caravan several times. Maybe they did it. I heard that some mysterious sects appeared outside the town recently, and it may be them. ...In fact, I have no clue, the guards in the city will only show off their power in the city, asking me for money every day, and don't care about anything if something happens..."

Lu Ping had an idea: "Mr. Bragg, I believe there must be an inner ghost. Otherwise, whether it is gangsters or people from the mysterious sect, who dare not go to the gate of the city easily, how can they know the exact time when your daughter will leave the city?"

Bragg jumped up suddenly: "It makes sense, it makes sense, there must be an inner ghost, but who could it be?"

Lu Ping said: "No one will admit that they are the ghost, but there may be some clues in the place where you and Shirley live. You must take me to see the place where you two live, every room."

Bragg agreed, and immediately led Lu Ping to find clues, searching every room.Of course, Lu Ping was not looking for clues, but looking for antique vases, and he also kept an eye out for guard posts.

There were two big men with two-handed swords standing guard at the door of Prague's bedroom. After entering, Lu Ping's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw several closets in the spacious room, displaying a large number of antiques, round big pearls, transparent Suet white jade, fiery red coral trees, gemstones of various colors...

Among them is a two-foot-high vase that is very eye-catching. It is actually a large blue-and-white dragon pattern jar in ancient China!

From entering the game to the present, all Lu Ping has seen are European-style medieval magical world scenery and props. He has never seen Chinese elements. Suddenly, he saw Chinese blue and white porcelain here. The pattern on it is a Chinese dragon. Of course he was surprised. extreme.

Needless to say, what Ivan asked him to steal was this big blue and white dragon pattern jar!

"Where did you get this thing?" Lu Ping asked, pointing to the big blue and white jar.

Prague said with some excitement: "This antique was sold to me by a homeless person I met in Stone City. It is a very rare prehistoric relic, and its age is earlier than the age of the gods!"

"Stone City?"

"Yes, Stone City is the castle of the dwarves. It is far away from Baides in the southeast of the Entagri continent. You must have never been there... Does this have something to do with my daughter's disappearance?"

"Oh, oh..." Lu Ping pondered, "I think it's a little abnormal, it carries an imperceptible magical energy, this pattern is related to an ancient magical creature, in short it is a rare A magic item that only people know about, maybe someone deliberately sold it to you, and then used some kind of magic to remotely monitor your actions..."

Prague involuntarily took two steps back, his expression changed greatly: "This... is this true, what should I do?"

Lu Ping pretended to be very serious: "In fact, I can't be sure of its function. Maybe only my mentor, the greatest prophet, can know. If you want, you can give it to me for identification. I can give you Write a receipt, and I will return it to you after the appraisal."

Bragg quickly said: "No, you can take it away, and you don't have to return it to me. It has no effect on me."

"Okay, for your safety, I'll take it away." Lu Ping pretended to be reluctant and put the big blue and white dragon pattern pot into the package, but he was happy in his heart. He really didn't expect to get it so easily. .

After getting the item, Lu Ping didn't have the heart to talk to him anymore, he promised to help him find his daughter, and then he resigned.

When he opened the task, Lu Ping couldn't help being shocked. It was a B-level task. Although the reward was high, it was not easy to complete!

The task level mainly represents the difficulty of doing this task. It may be that the monster is difficult to kill, or the process of the task is very complicated. In short, it is not easy to complete.

A mission like Ivan, although it is a script mission, is only D-level, so it is not too difficult to cheat or steal.But why is the script task so easy, and there is a reward of up to 5 gold coins?Lu Ping was very puzzled, and immediately went to the door of the tavern, got some white lime and drew a circle the size of an egg on the door.

Remembering that Bruce introduced him to the pharmacist Merlin, Lu Ping also happened to need to replenish the potion, so he went to the pharmacy.

Meilin was a tall and thin old man, and when he heard that Lu Ping was here to help, he immediately greeted him warmly.It turns out that many people in the city have suffered from a strange disease recently, which requires a lot of medicinal materials. It is not safe outside the city. 1 silver coin, and also taught Lu Ping collection skills for free.

Gathering is a basic life skill, no need to add points, no need to upgrade, anyone can gather medicine after learning it, but if you want to refine medicine into medicine, you must know alchemy and have a formula.

When all the pharmacies came out, Lu Ping saw Ivan standing in the corner across the street waving to him at a glance, so he walked over, and the two stopped when they reached an empty corner.

Ivan said with a fake smile: "The skill is good, I got it so quickly."

Lu Ping said: "How do you know he has this vase, what's the use of stealing this vase?"

A cold light flashed in Ivan's eyes: "You just have to do what you have to do, it won't do you any good to ask too much."

Lu Ping was also angry: "Then this matter ends here, this vase does not belong to you yet!"

Ivan smiled mockingly: "This vase is of no use to me. I asked you to steal it just to test your ability. Now you can smash it."

Lu Ping was stunned. He thought that this big blue and white pot was very valuable, or that it really had some special effect. He didn't expect that Ivan was just testing his ability.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Ivan whispered: "I am very satisfied with your performance, so I decided to reward you and continue to test you, but you must always remember that doing more and talking less is good for everyone."

Lu Ping got 5 gold coins, 100 points of evil reputation, and 10000 experience points. The rewards this time are really easy to get.

Ivan continued: "I heard that there is a secret path that can enter the castle. If you can find this secret path within a month, I will give you a higher reward."

Lu Ping was taken aback. Who the hell is this guy, who dared to take the idea of ​​Harmondale Castle? Can this place be moved at will?

Ivan said: "I heard that this secret passage leads from a certain basement of the prison to the castle. I don't know whether it exists or not, and whether it has been blocked. In addition, any city has a sewer, maybe you can Find a passage from the sewer to go in, in short, you can go in and you are done, but I advise you not to disturb the guards and necromancers at the door, they are not easy to mess with."

This matter is definitely not easy, and there is a feeling of getting deeper and deeper, but the temptation of rewards from the script task makes Lu Ping unable to stop. After hesitating for a while, he still nodded and agreed.

Mission Name: Ivan's Request (2).

Mission description: Ivan wants you to find a secret way into Harmondale Castle, and the time limit is one month.

Task rewards: 10 gold coins, 300 evil reputation, and 25000 experience.

Task category: script task (C-level).

Good guy, the difficulty has been raised from D level to C level, and the rewards have more than doubled. It seems that this is only the second test, and there will be a third and fourth test, so the rewards don’t have to be too high to scare people ?It really is a script task!

But if this continues, will he embark on the path of evil and become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats?What is the origin of Ivan, a spy of the Necromancer Kingdom?The secret agent of the beast kingdom?Or an emissary of the devil?In short, he is not a good thing!

"After you can enter the castle, draw a white circle on the door of the tavern." Ivan said and left quickly, turned around and disappeared.

It is absolutely impossible for Lu Ping to put himself in prison again, so he can only try to go to the sewer. He saw three children playing on the street, so he took out three silver coins and shook them: "Children, come quickly, uncle will give you money!" Buy candy to eat."

The three children looked at him and took a few steps back. The oldest one said: "Mom said you can't ask for other people's money. We don't know you. Go away, or I'll call a guard!"

Lu Ping showed a very bright and harmless smile: "I'm not a bad person, and I didn't give you money for free. Let's play a game. If anyone can hide in the castle, I will give him silver coins!"

The three children shook their heads. Obviously, this was impossible. Lu Ping asked again: "Have you ever played hide-and-seek? Have you ever hid in the sewer? Who can tell me how to get there, and you can also take the money from me. "

The oldest child said: "We don't go to the sewer, there are ghosts in it!"

The second tallest said: "Yes, there are also big bugs that eat people!"

The youngest child said: "Only an old madman would dare to go to the sewer, but he is dead."

"Let's go home, if mom sees us talking to strangers, she's going to beat me."

The three children ran away, and Lu Ping couldn't help frowning. It seemed that there were monsters in the sewer, and it was not easy to go. I don't know how to start this task. Anyway, the deadline is one month, and there is plenty of time. Let's let it go and see the situation. .

Ivan didn't want the big blue and white dragon pattern pot, so Lu Ping kept it by himself. It's rare to see something with Chinese characteristics, and it's kind of kind. Keeping it is also a patriotic expression!The safe in the bank is very large and can store a lot of things, so you don't have to worry about not being able to put it down.

Now I have more than eight gold coins in my pocket, so I have to learn the item identification technique and pay some fines, because the later the payment, the more interest will be paid, and the early payment is more cost-effective.

It only cost 3-5 silver coins to learn skills in Dense Fog Town, but it was ten times more expensive here. It took Lu Ping 50 silver coins to learn the item identification technique.But it's also much easier to make money here, not bad.

With the Prophet's Hat item identification technique +10, so after learning this skill, the skill immediately becomes level 11, and the attributes of the five yellow clothes and the two magic scrolls in the package can be seen at a glance.

The yellow platinum ring can be equipped at level 5, which increases the hit rate by 6 points. Besides wearing it on the hand, the hit rate reaches 47.

The attributes of the yellow two-handed sword, shield, leather armor, and belt are not very good, and they can only be used at level 10. Lu Ping is not interested, so he directly throws them into the auction house. The starting price of each piece is 50 silver coins, whichever is sold.

[Scroll of Blessing of the Holy Spirit]: This scroll is infused with the blessing of the Holy Spirit, the magic of the soul system, which can increase the hit rate of melee and long-range shooting. You can use it by tearing the scroll.

[Fire Thaumaturgy Scroll]: This scroll is infused with fire magic fire thaumaturgy, which can improve your ability to resist fire damage, and you can use it by tearing the scroll.

Scrolls have no occupation and level restrictions, and all occupations can use them, so advanced scrolls are very precious.The spell effect in the scroll is inherent, and the specific effect and duration will not be known until it is used.

The level 11 identification technique is definitely the best in the world at present, and there should be no problem in identifying orange equipment. Alas, if it is not for being wanted, sitting in a big city with a lot of people can make a fortune in identifying items for others!
