Chapter 431 The Bearded Guest

Lu Yao clicked to buy and took possession of the prototype of the Yellow Turban Warrior.

Faith - 19.9 million, balance 10.11 million.

A golden puppet icon appears at the top of the [Props Bar].

Lu Yao clicked the mouse repeatedly.

A character interface appears on the screen.

In the middle is a person with an indistinct face.

On the left side of this faceless man, from top to bottom are [Race] and [Attributes], and on the right side are [Face Shape] and [Body Shape].

Lu Yao clicked [Race] first, and found that he could pull up a long list. From the earliest Yao people to the newly joined vampires, werewolves and abyss nomads... all were available for selection.

If he wanted, he could even make the Yellow Turban Warrior transform into a box-carrying cactus, a cross-country rabbit or a tricolor bug.

In the end, Lu Yao chose the common [Yao human].

He fiddled with the face shape and molded Huang Jia into a bearded man with broad shoulders, narrow waist, tall and strong. He was wearing ordinary coarse cloth short jacket and trousers, and looked like an ordinary macho man.

Huang Jia also has his own camouflage panel attributes, which can be randomly generated. Lu Yao chose a panel data slightly higher than that of ordinary people.

After finishing shaping his face, he clicked [Thousands of Changes] to confirm.

So Huang Jia turned into a man with curly beard, looking like a chivalrous knight roaming the green forest.

After the face shaping is completed, the next step is to get started.

Lu Yao placed the Yellow Turban Warriors outside Yao City, and then he discovered a small problem.

The yellow armor level has become LV99.

Except for the speed, the health, mana, damage and defense shaping have been weakened by about 50%. Fortunately, the ability characteristics remain unchanged.

Even so, Huang Jia's combat power is unrivaled in the Yao clan world.

This is the limitation of the crawling zone. The upper limit of the life level of all the life in the crawling zone is LV99. Even if it is far beyond this peak, it will be sealed and weakened.

Lu Yao clicked on [God’s Acting].

After a brief trance, the world once again split into left and right screens before my eyes.

With the experience from last time, Lu Yao leaned on the bed with ease this time and quickly dived into the virtual world.

…

Unlike the gray abyss, the visibility in the Yao clan’s world is much higher.

Snow was floating in the sky, and the cold winter wind blew on Lu Yao's body, giving him a distinct feeling of coldness and stinging.

The dolls made by Taiyi Zhenren are indeed worth the money. They retain the original keen physical sensation, but the fleeting stimulation does not affect the continuous experience.

Lu Yao looked up and saw the white air coming out of his mouth and the heavy snow falling from the sky.

There are two suns in the sky. The tallest golden sun brings light and heat, while the shorter green sun is a strange life formed by the distortion of the [corona], radiating [peace] and [joy] to people.

Two suns hanging in the sky is a unique wonder in Yaocheng.

Lu Yao stretched his arms and touched the thick beard on his chin.

In the eyes of passers-by, I should be the kind of person who says "Big brother, don't cut me."

One advantage of this look is that it reduces the chances of being picked on.

As long as I look like someone looking for trouble, it won't be easy for trouble to find me.

Lu Yao looked around.

Now he is standing in the forest north of Yaocheng. If he goes further north, he will lead to the volcanic area where Aegir's Fire is located, and if he goes south, he will enter the city of Yaocheng.

Suddenly he saw a man with a bamboo basket on his back picking up branches in the snow.

"This brother!"

Lu Yao greeted him and strode towards him.

As a result, his shout frightened the other party so much that he didn't even pick up the firewood and ran away, quickly disappearing into the woods.

Lu Yao was a little embarrassed.

My friend has a heroic face, does he look like a bad guy? Never mind, it's normal to be wary of strangers when you go out.

Lu Yao thought about it and decided that if he continued to go north, he would just be wrestling with fire elemental creatures, watching the fire buffalo baring their teeth, or catching a few fire birds for a walk.

It’s better to go around the city and take a look at its appearance.

Since the update of the era, Lu Yao has not paid much attention to Yaocheng.

On the one hand, it is because Yaocheng is the city he feels most at ease in. He is like the eldest son of a family. No matter how noisy his younger brothers are, the eldest brother will remain calm.

On the other hand, things kept coming up and Lu Yao was so busy that he forgot about it.

So this time he chose Yaocheng for his personal visit, to observe the city's development and see the real life of the residents.

After countless people walked on it, the road from the forest to the city became particularly clear. Lu Yao followed this flattened road all the way out and arrived outside Yao City.

The outer wall surrounding the city is about three people high and is made entirely of stone bricks. There are guards patrolling on the wall.

At the city gate, Lu Yao encountered another small trouble.

"What's your name? What's your occupation? What are you doing in Yaocheng?" The city guard on duty stopped him and asked very vigilantly.

Lu Yao was helpless.

Those people coming in and out around here, you just want to check me, right?

For the first time, he felt that there might be a slight deviation in the direction of pinching the face.

"Huang Jia, unemployed, came to Yaocheng to find a job."

The soldier nodded at this answer, seeming to approve of his honesty.

"You have a pretty good physique. Are you interested in joining the City Guard? Our treatment is constantly improving. Not only do we have vacations, but we can also apply to study at the academy..."

Lu Yao mumbled a few words and entered the city.

The environment in the city was better than he thought. There was a lot of snow on the roofs and the ground on both sides of the street, and the streets were not covered with stains and filth. As a city with a population of nearly 300,000, the problem of domestic sewage was an inevitable practical problem.

Lu Yao went to ask a scholar for advice.

The other party said, "You are from another place, right? Among the five densely populated cities, Yaocheng is the cleanest and most sanitary. The reason is the newly deciphered dragon language spell [Deodorization Spell]."

"Deodorization is a niche magic used by the dragon race to cleanse the body and eliminate strong body odor. It can dilute the odor. In fact, it is just a stream of small wind, but it is just right for use in the city. Although Yao City has workers who specialize in collecting and processing feces, the smell is still very strong. This is an amazing achievement in magic..."

The scholar looked very young, wearing a black robe and a fluffy white cotton on his chest. He was an official scholar recognized by the seminary.

When talking about magic, he seemed particularly excited and talked incessantly.

After Lu Yao said goodbye to him, he visited several shops along the way.

The currency of the Yao clan is still seashells, but it has changed for many generations.

The earliest seashells were shells with special marks. After hundreds of years of changes, they have now become a special currency made by crushing shells and sand and then re-firing them.

It is round, thin and small, with relief carvings of the city's symbols on its surface - also thanks to printing.

There is a monument carved on the seashells issued by Yaocheng, which is also the oldest wonder and symbol of Yaocheng.

There is a lighthouse on the sea in Yancheng Haibei. Although Yancheng has many wonders, and the lighthouse once collapsed and was rebuilt in the city's history, Yancheng still chose this representative of the Yancheng spirit.

Saniro does not issue currency, but mainly relies on city bonds.

The seashells from Wuda City are engraved with a ground arch that looks like a mountain peak, while the seashells from Crystal City are carved with a glass pot.

According to the shop owners, the seashells from Yaocheng and Yancheng are the most recognized and circulated. The ones from Wudacheng and Shuijingcheng are more like collectibles and are issued in very small quantities.

Lu Yao saw a lot of things he wanted to buy, including wheat cakes and meat pies, honey wine and books, but unfortunately he had no money.

Just as he was wondering whether he should call Isabel to get some money, he noticed a figure in the snow.

The man looked to be in his twenties, tall and thin, with a melancholy look and sunken eye sockets, as if he had not slept well for a long time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He was wearing a thin robe and sighing on the street, as if he had encountered some trouble, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking uncomfortable.

Lu Yao took a look at this person's panel.

…

[Abyss Nomad LV4] Andre HP: 36/36 Mana: 42/42 Damage: 2 Defense: 1 Speed: 4 [Mage LV2]

Good at researching and using spells, and has a certain probability of developing new spells.

[Swiftness]

Increases speed by +1 for a short period of time.

[Exploration]

Able to detect the conditions of various lives. The success rate is related to the level of this ability. Failure will be discovered by the person being detected.

…

The history of this young wizard records that he has just come to the Yao clan world from the abyss and is 24 years old this year.

Being able to stand out in the fifth level of the abyss means he is considered a promising talent there.

Lu Yao walked over and said, "You are young and have a promising future. Why are you sighing here?"

Andre looked up and seemed frightened by Lu Yao's image.

Then he said, "I feel sad because I haven't found a suitable job. What about you?"

"My name is Huang Jia, and I'm also looking for some work."

Hearing this, Andre immediately relaxed: "I am Andre, and I just came to Yaocheng from Sifang Country. It seems that we are in the same situation. You are also an outsider, right?"

"good."

Lu Yao suddenly thought: "Do you have money?"

"A little, not much."

"Buy me a drink, maybe I can help you find the way."

Andre couldn't help laughing. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded: "It's cold, let's go have a drink."

The two found a pub nearby.

There weren't many people in the pub during the day, so the two found a spacious corner and sat down.

Lu Yao ordered a glass of beer, and Andre ordered a glass of strong mead, and Andre paid for the bill with four seashells.

The taste of beer is sweet and fragrant, and the alcohol content is very low, but it is still good as an alcoholic beverage.

Lu Yao took a big sip of wine: "Tell me about your situation."

Andre put down the wooden wine glass and said, "Do you know Sifang Country? Miss, please give me another glass."

"Yes, it's the fifth level of the Abyss."

"You really have a lot of knowledge. I've talked about this with some people before, and many of them didn't even know about it."

Lu Yao thought this was normal.

For a long time, the four countries in the abyss have been the recipients of assistance, and the contact is basically one-way. Now, the talents there are gradually coming out and giving back to the outside world.

"I'm a mage. In the Abyss, mages are mainly responsible for researching spells and operating the Mage Tower. But there is no Mage Tower here, so it is not useful... I passed the scholar assessment of the Four Kingdoms and was one of the first mages to come to this city."

Andre showed a hint of pride on his face.

"Then why can't you find a job?"

Lu Yao's question made the young wizard's smile disappear.

"It's hard to find a job... When I first came here, I thought that with my ability to master two spells, it should be no problem for me to go to the seminary to be a scholar teacher. As a result, in the seminary's test, I didn't even pass the scholar assessment. They thought that my academic knowledge and ability were at the apprentice level..."

Andre took a sip of wine and said, "I know the scholars here are knowledgeable, but I didn't expect there would be so much to learn."

"Introduction to Dragon Language, principles of fire furnaces, four arithmetic operations, basic potions, principles of engineering and spells... there are too many things. I am overwhelmed by them. It is really terrifying that apprentices here have to learn so many things."

Lu Yao expressed his understanding and clinked glasses with him: "If you can't be a teacher at the seminary, then use your magic skills and it won't be difficult to find an ordinary job."

"It's not easy. I tried to apply for the White Castle, but I didn't pass the screening. After half a month of going around in circles, the only place that invited me was a farm, asking me to use the [Detection Spell] to check if the livestock there are sick. I'm a wizard, and I want to study magic, not sows' postpartum problems..."

Andre was filled with bitterness.

Suddenly a woman in white walked in from outside.

"Andre? Are you drinking again?"

Andrei's body shuddered violently, and he explained with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Alyosha, I am drinking with this new friend, and he is helping me find a job. Let me introduce you, this is Huang Jia, and this is my wife, Alyosha."

"Is that so?" Alyosha looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled look.

"That's true."

Lu Yao nodded.

He thought to himself, no wonder this guy was so straightforward, it turned out that he wanted to drink. His uncomfortable look on the street was not only because of the setbacks at work, but also probably because of his alcohol addiction.

Lu Yao noticed.

Andrei's wife, Alyosha, is actually a vampire.

"So, can I join in your conversation, too?"

The vampire lady said softly.

Andre's face looked a little unnatural, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He could only force a smile at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao said: "Of course no problem."
