Chapter 119
After successfully becoming an apprentice, Xia Mo struck while the iron was hot and completed engineering tasks for a week, successfully upgrading his title from apprentice to junior.
During this period, I also completed forging tasks and was promoted from junior blacksmith to intermediate blacksmith.
After reaching the intermediate level, players are eligible to put their own finished products on the shelves and set the price by themselves. As long as someone is willing to pay for it, it's fine.
Xia Mo had accumulated a lot of self-made equipment these days, including two shoulder pads, one belt, and one cloak. Except for the cloak, which was of silver quality, the other three small items were only black iron.
The quality is indeed a bit low, but as long as the price is right, there are still players willing to buy it.
After all, the game is not only populated by old players. Since the launch of Protoss, new players have been joining the game. It is absolutely appropriate to sell Black Iron quality equipment to them.
So I paid the stall fee at the store, marked the prices, and put all my stuff up for sale.
As a result, not long after she walked out of the trading house, Xia Mo heard the news that the transaction was successful in the background. She took two more steps and sold another one. In the end, she had not even left the Royal City yet, but all four pieces of equipment were sold.
This also sold out too quickly.
Xia Mo estimated that these things would sell well, but she didn't expect them to sell so well.
It seems that there are still a lot of middle and low-level players in the game. Compared with high-level players who blindly pursue top-level equipment, the former actually need things of slightly lower quality.
Thinking that it was just a practice, he might as well make some extra money while doing so, so he immediately contacted Fenghuo and asked him to provide another 1,000 Dahra crystals and 300 tin ingots.
[Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou: Boss, are you going to forge new equipment again? ]
She had purchased a lot of materials from Fenghuo during these days of engineering and forging tasks. Fenghuo was used to her asking for hundreds or even thousands of pieces right away, so he kept extra materials for her and refused to sell them to anyone else.
Xia Mo: [Well, I'm going to practice. If the finished product is of good quality, I'll put it up for sale.]
[Beacon Fires to Taunt the Princes: [Ox]]
[Mo Se: By the way, how was your stay in Wuyou Pavilion? ]
Remembering that the other party had joined the Life Gang Wuyou Pavilion for quite some time, Xia Mo asked casually.
The other person: [It's great! The veteran members of the guild are very caring towards us newcomers. If you have any questions, just ask in the group. They're all very patient!]
That’s good~ Xia Mo raised his lips.
In the previous life, Wuyou Pavilion had a good reputation, and the president was a man who understood the overall situation and was sensible. If one had to find fault with someone, it would probably be their vice president.
Let me put it this way, without the vice president, Wuyou Pavilion's reputation would be incredibly good, but because of the vice president's existence, there were a few times when Wuyou Pavilion was put on a high pedestal in the forum.
I just don’t know if their president has noticed this problem when he came back this time.
During the week when she was practicing her life skills, "Protoss" updated two more dungeons, but both were of simple levels. It was obvious that they were designed to provide convenience for new players with low levels, so that they could also experience the fun of holographic gameplay.
So she didn't join in the fun. Firstly, it was not difficult and boring. Secondly, as she was a member of the leaderboard, competing with novice players for titles would seem too low-brow and not her style.
However, she did not go to grab the first kill in the dungeon, as someone else did it.
But Xia Mo didn't expect that this "other person" would suddenly and inexplicably fall on her head.
World Channel:
[@墨色, is it interesting for a high-level player like you to come to the mid-to-low-level game to grab honor? ]
[@墨色, is it interesting for a high-level player like you to come to the mid-to-low-level game to grab honor? ]
…
There are more than ten in total, filling up the small channel frame.
There is always a shortage of people watching the fun when it comes to eating melons, especially when the person being tagged is a big shot on the list, the popularity will be maxed out.
However, in view of the previous reversal in the forum, the old players have now figured out a rule - no comment without knowing the full picture. Therefore, although they are watching the show, their words and deeds are much more objective than before, and they are determined not to be used as tools by others.
[New kid, don't get excited yet. Make sure you understand the situation before you criticize.]
[That's right, Mo Se is a big shot on the list, what's the use of this simple title to her? ]
[It is recommended to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, so that everyone can help you to see it, so as not to identify the wrong person]
It was a very rational and fair statement, but in the eyes of low-level players, it seemed like they were ganging up to bully them.
Several level 15 players whose honors were robbed became more and more angry, and started cursing indiscriminately in the world channel. After this cursing, the old players could no longer sit still and started a war of words.
Xia Mo originally wanted to explain on the world channel, after all, she had sufficient proof of her alibi, but the two groups were arguing so fiercely that there was no room for her to interrupt.
I had to give up.
"Um...Excuse me, are you Ink Color?"
Not long after leaving the city, two little girls suddenly came up to him. The quality of their equipment was very low. Xia Mo estimated that they were around level 15.
"What's up?"
As she responded, she casually waved her weapon, and several wild monsters turned into experience bars on the spot and flew into her body.
The two female players looked at the scene in surprise, then glanced at each other. After a few seconds, as if finally making up their minds, they shouted, "We can prove that you were wronged!"
Huh? Xia Mo looked at them with a funny expression.
It turned out that he had followed her all the way just to tell her this. She almost thought they were two more sneak attackers who overestimated their own capabilities.
Retracting her weapon, she smiled at the two of them, "Thank you, but it's not really necessary."
"Ah? Why?"
The two of them stared at each other, not understanding why she didn't want a witness.
"You were in the royal city the whole time. My sisters and I were watching you. There was no way you could have gone to the dungeon. That guy in the world was deliberately trying to discredit you."
Xia Mo: "I know."
"Then why do you still..." The speaker was gently pulled by the sister next to her, signaling her not to get too excited.
It can be seen that these are two very righteous girls, but some things cannot be solved by justice alone, especially in the mixed world of gaming. The evil of human nature will only be more vividly displayed behind a layer of Internet cables.
The two little girls had probably never experienced anything like this, so they felt very sorry for her. But who was she, Xia Mo? In her previous life, she had been a top priest in the game for five years. In this life, she was reborn and started the game with violent damage. What rumors and gossip had she not heard?
Just a few dungeon titles and you think you can ruin her reputation? How ignorant of yourself.
"Thank you for your kindness. Do you want to kill monsters together?"
Not wanting to discuss the matter any further, she simply invited the two of them to team up to kill monsters together.
Of course, it was not for her, but for the two battle pets, especially the new one. Because the level was not high enough, Xia Mo did not dare to send it to the difficult map, so he could only practice on these low- and medium-level maps.
It's quite boring to kill these little monsters alone, so it's a good idea to bring two people in. At least my eyes won't be bored.
Xia Mo didn't know that she was making plans entirely for her own battle pet, but in the eyes of the two girls, she suddenly became an enthusiastic big boss guiding a newbie.
The two of them were so happy that they danced with joy, forgetting what they had just said and nodding continuously.
After spending the whole afternoon with the two of them, the two girls' levels jumped by 2, and Xiaoyi also leveled up 3 times. I looked at the time and saw that the third simple dungeon was about to be refreshed, so I disbanded the team, took Xiaoyi back, and headed straight for the new dungeon.
Before the dungeon is opened, the system will send a notice in advance to all players in the server.
Xia Mo picked a tree near the entrance of the dungeon, jumped on it, and waited boredly.
The dungeon hasn't opened yet, but the aperture entrance is already crowded with people. Some are probably entering for the first time, with curiosity and excitement written all over their faces. Some are relatively experienced and calm at first glance, while others... are a bit pretentious. Taking advantage of the fact that their levels are one or two higher than those around them, they start bragging about how powerful they are and how they will definitely be the first to kill.
Xia Mo just glanced at them quickly and then looked away.
They were not the people she was looking for, and the target person seemed to have not appeared yet.
As she was observing carefully, she suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
It was her.
She narrowed her eyes and jumped down from the tree. The people around her were startled and stepped back.
When there was a commotion here, the people over there immediately looked over.
However, after seeing that it was her, someone's eyes widened instantly and he turned around and ran!
Xia Mo froze her with a Star Destruction.
"If I haven't done anything wrong, why should I run away?" she said with a smile.
But even though she was smiling, anyone with eyes could see that her smile was full of cold warnings.
When everyone saw this and saw the ID on her head, they quickly made way for her.
Liuli Dudu's face turned half pale and half blue: "It's none of your business whether I run away or not!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the 3-second freeze time ended, and she immediately raised her bow and arrow and shot at the person in front of her.
Xia Mo turned her head to the side and dodged easily. The weapon in her hand switched to a dagger at the same time. Without anyone around her seeing clearly, she had rushed in front of Liuli Dudu with a whoosh.
The knife came down with such speed that it left an afterimage. Before Liuli Dudu could even react, she received several messages of people being disabled.
She widened her eyes, staring at the person in front of her in shock and horror.
Xia Mo retracted the dagger and blew lightly on the tip of the knife: "How does it feel to pretend to be me?"
If Liuli Dudu hadn't run away just now, Xia Mo wouldn't have taken action, but this running away directly confirmed her suspicion of pretending to be slanderous.
After all, why would a level 25 player come to a simple level 15 dungeon for no reason?
Liuli asked with a grumble, her throat choking: "Who is pretending to be you? Don't slander me!"
"Someone come here! The number one player is bullying the younger players! Is there any justice in the world?"
Xia Mo put the blade directly to her throat, his voice colder than an iceberg: "You don't think that throwing a tantrum will work, do you?"
Her tone was soft, but it carried a cold and ruthless air.
Liulidudu's throat was choked for no reason by her question, and she couldn't utter a word.
"When Qingyao was rising, you and Tongluo Shao were in cahoots, causing unrest in the guild. Now Tongluo Shao has learned his lesson, so why can't you just shut up?"
The blade slowly moved from the throat to the cheek, and gently patted Liuli's pouting face.
Liuli Dudu suppressed her inner panic and refused to give in. "I didn't do anything. I just came here to team up with others to complete the dungeon. Why are you accusing me so wrongly?"
Yes, it was an injustice! As long as she couldn't produce any evidence, she would never be able to pin the crime on her!
Liuli Dudu gained confidence and stared at the person in front of him with pretended calmness.
Xia Mo smiled lightly: "Okay, then I will beat you until you think it's enough."
After saying that, he pointed the knife downwards and stabbed it towards her heart.
Liuli fell to the ground with her mouth half open.
This is a wild PK, not bound by rules. Once a player dies, he is dead. There is no other way except to admit his bad luck and get up again.
Oh, yes, if it is bound to a city and you have the [Resurrection Stone] in your hand, the dead person can be resurrected in the city.
But what Xia Mo was betting on was that Liuli Dudu didn’t exist.
She remembered that this person had been doing missions with the guild before, and after dying, she always chose to resurrect on the spot and never returned to the city, which meant that she didn't have many return stones.
As she expected, after Liuli Dudu was stabbed to death, her body was still lying there.
Not only that, a piece of hunter's equipment also appeared next to her body.
Yes, when a player dies in the wild, in addition to having some gold coins and experience points deducted, some things on his body or in his backpack will also be randomly dropped.
Seeing the belt suddenly disappear from Liuli Dudu's waist, Xia Mo pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the belt and put it into his backpack.
[Mo Se, you bitch! Give me back my equipment!]
People cannot speak when they are dead, but they can type. Now, Liuli Dudu, who is lying on the ground, has such a dialogue bubble popping up above his head.
Xia Mo didn't bother to pay attention to her words, and just uttered two words lightly: "Get up."
【I got up, you must kill me again】
Xia Mo: "No."
【real? 】
"Yeah, really."
Looking at this familiar scene, two people in the crowd felt a chill down their spines.
Shit, that move again! Hadn't she used that same move to make both of them, and even the assassin Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, cry when she attacked her friend the Miner in the Liki Hills?
Her words cannot be believed at all!!!
The two closed their eyes and silently lit a candle of sympathy for the people on the ground.
My condolences.
