Another week passed like this. After lunch, I heard a knock on the door.
"Did Ying come back so early today?"
When Arthur opened the door, he found that it was not the girl who had returned home after completing her mission, but a lady he had not seen for a while.
"is there anything?"
Arthur has already guessed the purpose of the lady's coming. Perhaps it can be said that the lady has never hidden her purpose. She even made it clear when bargaining. However, due to the update of the system with the Eye of God, she Didn't agree either.
"I won't say any polite words. On behalf of the Fools and the Queen of the Solstice Kingdom, I want to make a deal with you. The content of the deal is the God's Heart of the Wind God. You can mention the price as you like, as long as the conditions are within our acceptable range. Within the time limit, I can directly make the decision to complete the transaction.”
I mentioned it casually, I didn’t expect the lady to talk so loudly when she came. I mentioned it casually, and I am not afraid of Arthur Lion speaking loudly, but thinking about Mr. Zhong next door, it seems that he really doesn’t care how much he pays for the heart of God.
"Then you're welcome. First, the rough stones. I need a large number of rough stones, at least [-]."
"Original stones? Good-looking stones, that's fine, but [-] is a bit too much. We need some time."
"There's no rush. I also need recipes. I don't need any outrageous recipes. I just need recipes for some commonly used dishes. You can decide on the quantity. Nothing else."
"Is this enough?"
The lady didn’t expect that what Arthur wanted was so cheap. The rough stone was okay. Because of its beautiful shape, it was worth a good collection, but it wouldn’t cost too much. As for the recipe, although normal restaurants wouldn’t prepare those things. Something, but as the country with the strongest military force among the seven countries, not to mention the simple recipes, even some secrets can be revealed to you.
The price paid this time was not even a fraction of the original compensation, but it made the lady unable to understand Arthur's intentions.
"That's all. I don't need anything at all. If you think it's too little, I don't recommend giving you anything else."
The lady left to prepare the rough stones, and the usual silence returned to the villa.
Arthur, who thought it would take a long time for the lady to leave this time, saw the lady return with several members of the Fools carrying boxes just two days later.
Inexplicably, I feel a little pity for these fools, because the compensation promised by the lady was indeed fulfilled, and all the combat personnel were evacuated, leaving only some clerks responsible for diplomacy and document processing. The lady will definitely not move things by herself, so This job was taken care of by the few clerks who were left behind.
I watched several clerks carrying boxes one after another. Because they were not good at sports, they suddenly worked hard with high intensity, and they were so tired that they were sweating profusely. After the last box was finished, the clerks were in better condition. They were holding on to the wall next to them, their legs were shaking constantly, and they were lying on the ground in a bad state. Only their bodies twitching from time to time proved that they were still alive.
Or maybe Arthur seemed to have given them a cleansing spell and a cure, so that they would not continue to lie here.
Going back and forth, almost thirty or forty boxes were moved, each box was about the same size as the boxes Diluc and Qin had given them before.
Chapter 50 The Heart of the Trading God
When Arthur opened the treasure box, he found that five or six of them contained rough stones. Although the number was not specific, according to previous experience, it was about 30. In other words, the remaining [-] boxes were all other stones. thing.
If these are all recipes, even if they don't collect all kinds of recipes, there may be something else.
"We brought everything you asked for."
Arthur put the rough stones together and let the system absorb them. The final result was almost 3.2 rough stones, half of which was used to purchase the Heart of God, and the other half was pure income.
The Heart of God purchased from the system is handed over to the lady. As the system said, it is no different from the Heart of God. In this way, the lady's mission is completed, and the Mondstadt incident can be considered to have truly come to an end.
The next day, I heard from a friend who came back from Mondstadt that the lady left Mondstadt and didn't know where she went. It seemed that the lady had left to get a Heart of God.
Arthur finally finished reading the book at hand, and began to open the remaining boxes of the lady. Arthur put the boxes in the storage room on the third floor. When he reached the third floor, he began to open the boxes one by one, and finally opened the remaining boxes. Among the more than 30 boxes, most of them are recipes. Among them, Mondstadt and Liyue have the largest number. Mondstadt is because of its close distance, and Liyue is suppressed by quantity. There are also many in other countries. Generally speaking, this Bo directly maximized his chef level.
Then there are some remaining things. There is a box full of molas. The quantity is not much, about 20. Then the others are some books, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Everything that can be placed is placed in the house. Others that were not used were put in the warehouse.
"Nothing happened today, draw a card!"
I originally thought about saving some rough stones for backup, but in fact, there are only two situations. Either I have saved them but the number is not large and I can't control myself from drawing cards, or I have collected them and changed from a cute character to a cute character. I'm addicted to the rough stone and don't want to spend it.
The remaining rough stones were converted into a hundred sources of entanglement, and with Arthur's words, the system began to draw results.
[This time I received a five-star reward for a special skill: Smash Varudo. 】
[Smash Varudo: After reading the lines, the surrounding time begins to stop, but at the same time, you cannot directly attack other people. When another password is shouted or the duration expires, time begins to flow normally. 】
[Four-star reward this time: a one-time anchor point. After use, the anchor point can be lit up on the map, and the anchor point can be used for teleportation. 】
"??? Because of the influence of imaginary numbers, you just took away my reward without me saying anything. After this update, I won't act anymore, so you just give me one?"
[System prompt: After this update, when there are four stars that are useless to the host, the reward will be converted into faith points, which will be used for the special lottery involving the prop God’s Heart. 】
[The current faith value of the Heart of God is 21 (four-star conversion), plus the faith value obtained by the host from Mondstadt, the total is 211 points. At that time, a special reward opportunity was used to rescue the host. The current faith value is 111 points, every 100 points A special drawing is available. 】
"Come on, let me see what this special lottery you've been talking about several times is."
After opening the special lottery interface, another familiar prop appeared in front of me. Yes, it was the long-lost cat machine.
Just look at the weird rewards on it, not to mention the various Mondstadt-specific materials. There are also some small books with dirty information about a certain noble, a love novel hidden by Qin, and even a famous man. An exquisite little box for "Barbara's hair removal".
But this card pool is more like the special card pool in the first lottery. You can choose the type. For example, when selecting weapons, Mondstadt's various weapons are listed, including but not limited to the Sky Piano, Wind Eagle Sword, etc. Five-star weapons.
However, because it is difficult to extract and all props are disposable, it is better to keep them for emergencies.
The disposable anchor point was placed in the storage room on the third floor, leaving a separate space to place it there. The location of the anchor point was shown on the map, but fortunately, the anchor point has no duration, otherwise It only lasts for 7 days. I'm afraid if I don't stay at home for a few days, the anchor point will expire.
The next day, Arthur found that he had read all the books in the room. This was part of what the lady had sent him, otherwise she would have finished reading them when she arrived.
The high-speed learning ability brought about by the preference of the tree of imaginary numbers is indeed very useful when learning, but it is more like a survival of the fittest mechanism. When used to relax, the reading speed is also faster than ordinary people, so now Suddenly there was nothing to do.
After all, after staying at home for so long, it’s time to go out and do some activities.
After Arthur and Ying finished breakfast in the morning, Arthur proposed to go to the Adventurers Association with Ying.
After arriving in Mondstadt after a long absence, Ying took Arthur to the Adventurers Association with ease. During the process, no one stopped Arthur. There were even people who greeted Arthur after he came to Mondstadt. There were also people. He took out various things and gave them to Arthur.
In the end, they were all declined by Arthur, and then the two of them also came to the Adventurers Association.
She is still the same Miss Catherine who works all year round, rain or shine.
"Towards the stars..."
"Catherine, just give me the task. No need to say this."
"Welcome to..."
"Task!"
Ying directly interrupted Catherine's spellcasting. I didn't expect that this scene could be seen in reality, but I felt that Catherine's smile when she looked at Ying was a bit scary. It was still the same smile, but there was an intuition that Catherine wanted to kill someone.
"Okay, this is your mission today."
After handing a piece of paper to Ying, Catherine turned to look at Arthur.
"Long time no see. Will Mr. Arthur come to take over the mission today?"
Arthur nodded. Although he was not short of money for the time being, it was still necessary to pass the time.
"Because of Mr. Arthur's performance in Mondane, the Adventurers Association will relax the restrictions on accepting tasks. This is today's commission list. Do you have anything you want to accept? As long as the number is no more than four. "
After a final look, I selected four tasks that were relatively easy to do. As for Ying, she had already left to do her own tasks.
"Miss Catherine, aren't tasks assigned but self-selected?"
Seeing Ying take the task and just give him a task list and end it. He can choose freely. Arthur is a little curious.
"It's like this. Except for some more difficult or designated tasks, adventurers can take on tasks freely. But Miss Ying thinks it's too troublesome to choose tasks, so she just chooses to let me give her four tasks every day."
How should I put it, it was indeed Ying's style. Taking the mission information, Arthur also went to complete his mission.
Chapter 51 The modified version of The Wolf Is Coming
Three of them are combat missions, mainly to hit Varudo. After all, many people who have watched Jojo have dreamed of having a stand-in, or being able to use the power of Platinum Star or The World.
Especially that line, how cool it is.
Being strong or not is a matter of one version, but being handsome is a lifelong matter.
The first thing is to clean up the ruins guards of the Thousand Winds Temple. The publisher turned out to be Qin. It seems that the ruins guards that were defeated at that time were restored. However, because few people would go to the Thousand Winds Temple, Qin did not send anyone to solve it. Choosing to issue a commission, one is to let the Adventurers Association see if anyone can solve it, and the other is to remind other adventurers that there are ruins guarding the Thousand Winds Temple, so pay attention to safety.
When we arrived at the Thousand Winds Temple, there was indeed a ruin guard wandering around, and it was still the same one from before. It just so happened that it was not a waste to use the ability on the ruin guard.
Arriving at the ruins guard, the ruins guard was forcibly stopped as soon as he noticed the enemy's attack.
"Smash Varudo."
The surrounding scenery suddenly became dim, and everyone around him remained still except for himself.
After all, we are using skills to remember the classics, but since there is no steamroller, we can only use some ordinary props.
Arthur took out a large number of low-star spears that were drawn in the lottery. At first, he once complained about why the low-star weapons were all spears when there were so many types of weapons. Now the opportunity to use them has come.
Use the wind to fly into the air and throw the spear at the ruins guard with all your strength. Then the spear was nailed to the spot as soon as it was thrown. Then one, two, three, ten, and finally densely packed spears surrounded the ruins in every corner. Guard, Arthur put down his spear and continued to attack.
"And then time started to flow."
Finally, Arthur turned his back and said what he wanted to say for a long time. When he first watched Jojo, and then watched Gensokyo [-], the scene where the pad leader flew around the enemy, then turned around and left in a dashing way, once made Arthur dream. Want to have the ability to stop time.
Now that I have the opportunity, of course I have to realize my previous ideas.
The surrounding scenery returned to normal, and the thrown spear also regained its power. The gun body was still wrapped in cyan airflow. It was the technique that Arthur learned from Wendy to improve shooting power, but it was used here.
Looking back at his masterpiece, it seems that this ruin guard will never recover. After all, it has been pierced into a sieve, with various holes pierced by spears all over his body.
Finally, it condensed into one word, cool!
Sure enough, time to stop is a man's romance. (Those who are thinking strange things, please reflect.)
The remaining two battle missions are ordinary Qiuqiu people. They don't even need to stop. They directly control the wind to attract all the surrounding enemies, and then control the Honkai energy to continuously compress the absorbed Qiuqiu people. Easily defeated the enemy.
The last commission is almost a must-have for new adventurers, because the task is simple and close, so it is loved by new adventurers.
It is to drive away the pigeons on the bridge, but there is also an obstacle, that is, the little boy, Timmy. Everyone is complaining. Timmy is the one who attracted the pigeons. After driving the pigeons away, Timmy keeps complaining. It is so easy for him to stop. An easy mission requires Timmy to bother you all the way, so when the adventurer is no longer a newcomer, almost no one takes it.
"Oh, since my people are in trouble, of course I have to solve the problem once and for all."
It may be that the impact of the second act just now has not dissipated. Fortunately, there is no one else around, otherwise there would be a few more people who have mysteriously disappeared.
Back in Mondstadt, I did see pigeons on the road and a little boy feeding the pigeons.
Recalling the story about Timmy, when he was doing the mission, he said that his father was like a pigeon that would never come back. At that time, he felt a little guilty, so he killed one less pigeon.
Now that he has seen this mission, he must let Timmy reflect on himself and find a way to stop him from causing trouble to others. As for the method, he has already conceived it in Arthur's mind.
Arthur came to the middle of the bridge and came to Timmy's side. The pigeon saw someone coming and just wanted to run away, but was controlled by Arthur who quietly used Honkai energy.
"You...hey, the pigeon didn't run away?"
Timmy was about to complain, but when he saw that the pigeons were not scared away, he forgot his lines for a moment.
"Sorry, I thought the pigeons were scared away again."
After hearing Timmy's apology, it seems that although Timmy is a kid who is annoyed by many people when it comes to handling pigeons, because he actually has a good personality and is very polite if there are no pigeons involved, everyone just ignores him.
"It doesn't matter, but why are you feeding the pigeons on the bridge? There are so many people obstructing traffic."
Because it was related to pigeons, Timmy came up with his strange kid theory again. Maybe it was because the pigeons didn't leave, but he didn't mention his father. He just said that he regarded the pigeons as friends and didn't want the pigeons to be harmed.
"Well, can I tell you a story?"
Without waiting for Timmy to answer, he told Timmy a story.
“A long, long time ago, before the city of Mondstadt was built, there was a little boy from Nicolmat in a tribe of humans. He had many good friends, but because his family was busy with work, he was unknowingly... While sleeping, I developed a habit of teasing others.”
"The first time, when a few people were playing hide and seek, suddenly Nicole Matt shouted to everyone that the wolf was coming, and everyone left in a hurry. Some people went to ask adults for help, and then found that there was no wolf at all, because it was the first time, Everyone also chose to forgive his joke."
"Then the second time, when the friends were chasing each other in the field, he shouted to everyone, the wolf is coming. Once again, everyone ran away, but did not go to the adults. After a while, they found that the wolf was coming again. He was lying, no one said anything, they just parted ways unhappy."
"Then there were jokes again and again, and everyone slowly stopped taking the boy's words seriously. Until one day, the real wolf appeared, and no one believed him. Everyone stayed where they were and didn't leave. When the boy came back , found that all his friends were gone, leaving only blood stains and damaged clothes on the ground. No one saw the boy again after that. Some people said that he went to seek revenge from the wolf. Some people said that he was sent by the wolf. The mole is now back among the wolves.”
Arthur told Timmy a story about the boy who cried wolf with a magical ending. Timmy, who originally wanted to say that he was not a child and did not need to hear the story, was gradually attracted by the story.
Chapter 52 About to leave
"So, Timmy, just like this story, the people here refer to the pigeons, and you are the boy. You make the pigeons believe in you and attract them again and again, just like this wolf is coming. The same story, every time you feed them, they choose to believe you, but you make them lose their trust in you again and again. In this way, the pigeons will not believe you in the end, and will even be scared away by others. "
Although the story of the boy who cried wolf is essentially a lie, Timmy attracts pigeons time and time again on the traffic thoroughfares, and scares the pigeons away again and again. Isn’t this a kind of deception to the pigeons who trust him?
"Is it my fault? I deceived the pigeons?"
Because of Mondstadt's liberal education and life philosophy, the children all have unique ideas, and Timmy is even more weird among them. He is directly led by a distorted theory.
Fortunately, Arthur's move was well-intentioned. Otherwise, if the liar was a fool, Timmy would probably be the material in the laboratory tomorrow.But it's also possible that Timmy was deceived because of Arthur's identity.Because whatever the hero says, no matter how strange it is, will be considered unique and admired.
"Then what should I do? I didn't mean to deceive the pigeons!"
Timmy was indeed deceived and became lame, but this was also in line with Arthur's wishes. It seems that this task that is known as a must-do for novices will come to an end today.
"If I remember correctly, there is a small gate to the east. There are only some woods and a small ferry. You can feed the pigeons in that woods, and even the pigeons will rest there in the future. You don't have to worry about collecting them. If you are frightened, it will be easier to settle down."
"Thank you, brother. I will take the pigeons and leave now."
