Chapter 12
"That's right, Miner."
Xia Mo's eyes lightly passed over Fenghuo: "The largest supplier of crystals for the trading company is the miners. Without them, the trading company's crystal industry, relying only on a few fixed NPCs, would not be able to operate at all."
“So, if you want to make money, want to make money continuously, and don’t need to invest too much, miners are your best choice.”
Fenghuo woke up as if from a dream, and stood there in surprise.
"So... this is the value of a miner..." Fenghuo opened his mouth blankly, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment.
Exciting? Of course I am.
You know, this is the first time he has received guidance from a big boss in the God Clan. To receive such an honor is something he could never dream of!
But in addition to excitement, Fenghuo felt a sense of solemn respect rising in his chest. It was a feeling that came from the heart, a deep respect for the far-sighted thinking of the person in front of him.
In the past, he never understood why others could get ahead and leave most people far behind when playing the same game, while he worked so hard but always achieved little results.
It turns out it’s because of thinking.
While he was still frowning over not being able to complete the blacksmith mission, the boss had already jumped out of this circle and planned a new way out for him.
Fenghuo took a deep breath, and suddenly, he felt the sky became bright. He clenched his fists, stood up straight, and then bowed solemnly three times to the person in front of him.
"Thank you for your guidance! From today on, please feel free to contact me if you need anything! I will definitely do my best to help you!"
The sound was so deafening that it even echoed in the hills.
Xia Mo looked at him: "...That's not necessary."
She just has her own selfish motives.
After becoming a blacksmith, she also needs a large amount of crystals. If she can make friends with Fenghuo, a miner, through guidance, it will be much easier for her in the future.
As they were talking, three figures were moving stealthily in a bush far away from them.
"Go on, Xiaobei! Haven't you changed into new equipment? Attack quickly!"
"Don't be afraid, Xiaobei. This is just a game, not real. Even if something happens, you can just revive in the town."
Two voices, one male and one female, rang out in succession.
Caught in the middle of the voices, Pastor Xiaobei threw his weapon in annoyance. "Can you please stop pushing me? Who wants to be a blacksmith anyway? Even if you ask for help, you should have the attitude to ask for help!"
He glanced at his companion Yao He with an unhappy look.
The latter's expression changed unnaturally, but then he forced a smile. "Xiaobei, think of it this way. If I become a blacksmith, I'll take care of all your equipment and protective gear. Why would you need to spend money everywhere to buy them? See how worry-free it is, right?"
"Huh, isn't that what you're looking at?"
Xiaobei groaned and picked up the weapon and bow on the ground again.
The three of them were all priests, and their attack power was not high. They could not use the priest staffs of their profession to defeat the level 10+ Dunba bison, so after discussion, they decided to use the hunter's bow and arrow.
In "Protoss", the official does not restrict the weapons in the hands of players. Players can use any dagger, sword or bow.
However, when a magic profession uses physical profession weapons, the attack power will definitely be reduced, but no matter how much it is reduced, Xiaobei still feels that it is stronger than her priest's attack.
Thinking of this, she raised the wooden bow with her left hand shakily and pulled the string with her right hand with difficulty.
Unfortunately, due to her weak chest and back strength, she failed to pull the string completely, and the arrow was stuck on it, but it was obvious that there was no momentum ready to be shot.
He immediately felt unhappy and rolled his eyes at the people on both sides: "I say, you two, don't just stand there and watch, don't you lend a hand?"
Hearing the sound, Xiaoyu and Yao He quickly took action, one helping to hold the bow while the other helped to pull the string from behind.
An ordinary hunter's weapon was turned into a funny scene of firearms and heavy artillery by the three of them.
But Xiaobei didn't care. She said sternly, "I'll count to 321, and then you let go."
"3, 2, 1! Let go!"
The three of them let go at the same time, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh!
"It will definitely work this time!" Xiaobei stared ahead with his eyes shining.
However, just as she finished speaking, the Dunba buffalo that was busy eating grass seemed to suddenly sense danger. At the moment when the long arrow was about to pierce its abdomen, it stepped its hoof to the side and spun its body.
The long arrow did not hit the fatal part, but only pierced its strong back.
A number -65 popped up above the bison's head.
"Why is there only this little damage?" Yao He frowned. "The health of a Dunba Bison is at least 1500, and it's a monster with high defense. If we rely solely on archery, it will take forever to kill one."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei's face immediately fell: "You guys suggested this method, and now you're blaming me for having too low an attack. I won't do it anymore, you guys do it yourselves."
Yao He looked at her with a slight annoyance between his brows, but when he thought about the importance of the mission, he controlled his temper: "Xiao Bei, give me the bow and arrow, let me try."
Xiaobei threw the weapon to him without saying a word.
Yao He took it, put the arrow on the bow, pulled the bow, and held his breath. This series of actions made him look much more professional than Xiao Bei.
Feeling that there was hope this time, Xiaobei and Xiaoyu stopped talking and watched with bated breath.
Whoosh——
The second arrow hit the belly of the Dunba bison!
The bright red -260 pops out!
"Wow, Yao He, your archery skills are so great!" Xiaoyu widened her eyes, her face full of surprise.
Yao He wiped the sweat from his palms and smiled. "It's not that I'm powerful, but I hit its weak spot. Officially, every monster has its own weak spot. Some are eyes, some are abdomens, and some are legs... If you attack their weak spots, you can get bonus damage."
"I just shot its weak spot, the abdomen, so I got about a 20%-30% bonus."
"So that's how it is," Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you asked Xiaobei to aim at the bison's belly just now, so that's why."
Having tasted the sweetness of the bonus, Yao He decided to pursue the victory: "Let's not talk about this for now. The cow was ambushed and ran away somewhere else. Let's chase it quickly!"
He had finally managed to take away several hundred points of its blood, and he didn't want to let the fat meat in his mouth fly away.
The three men rushed out from the bushes.
However, just after running a few steps, boom!
Countless rocks crashed down, hitting the target they were chasing.
Then there was another white cross star, and the bison's blood bar dropped to the bottom, and it fell to the ground with a thud.
"Shit, someone's stealing our monster!"
Seeing the duck that was about to be snatched away, Yao He turned around angrily and said, "Who stole it, monster?! Stand up right here!"
Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared from about 10 meters away.
After seeing who it was, Yao He's pupils shrank: "...Xia Mo?"
Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly showed surprise: "Xia Mo, it's really you! So you are here, we have been looking for you everywhere!"
Looking for her everywhere?
Xia Mo sneered in his heart.
If it was my previous life’s self standing here, I would probably have believed what they said. Unfortunately, when everything started over again, many things had changed.
Without responding to the two people, Xia Mo went straight to the bison and picked up the fallen bison skin.
"Wait a minute, Xia Mo." Yao He called her, "This bison is ours."
Xia Mo turned around and looked at him coldly: "Is your name written on it?"
When he met her eyes, Yao He suddenly felt a chill on his back for some reason.
How strange, he remembered that Xia Mo had not been so cold before?
But the next second his thoughts came back to him. He was too lazy to think about who she was. The most important thing at the moment was to get the fallen cowhide back.
He took a breath, and his tone became a little unhappy: "Xia Mo, we were the first to see this cow, and it should belong to us. You suddenly intervened halfway, isn't that unethical?"
"Yes, Xia Mo, everything is based on first come first served. You... this is really unacceptable." Xiaoyu stood up and persuaded with embarrassment.
But the person in front of him still asked coldly.
"Is your name written on it?"
"Xia Mo! Don't go too far!" Xiao Bei suddenly spoke angrily, "We worked so hard to find the cow, why do you say you can just snatch it away? Do you still consider us your friends? It's been over a week since we entered the game, have you looked for us? Xiao Yu, Yao He and I have been waiting for news from you, but what about you? You lost contact after entering the game. What's the matter? Don't you want to take us with you? Why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you pretending to be such a nice guy?"
"When did I say I would take you with me?"
Glancing at the other person's messy priest equipment, Xia Mo sneered.
"Everyone in the game relies on their own abilities. If you didn't grab the last drop of blood and didn't get the best equipment, it's your own fault. Xu Xiaobei, I'm not your father or your mother. I have no obligation to help you. Understand?"
"Xia Mo, you ungrateful wolf!"
Xu Xiaobei was furious. As he spoke, he grabbed a priest's staff and swung it at the person in front of him.
A beam of light golden light shot out straight out!
"Boss, be careful!" Fenghuo said as she saw the attack was about to fall on her and was about to step forward to block it for him.
"Need not."
Xia Mo stood there calmly. With just one glance, he knew what the light was.
——【Holy Strike】, one of the few attack skills of the priest.
She knew this all too well because she had helped Xu Xiaobei learn this skill.
However, she did not help the latter in this life, so Xu Xiaobei must have let Yao He or Xiao Yu replace her.
Thinking of this, the coldness in Xia Mo's eyes deepened.
Without moving her feet at all, she allowed the [Holy Strike] to fall on her body.
A single digit popped up.
-9!
Xia Mo sighed lightly: "With this little attack, are you qualified to PK with me?"
Xu Xiaobei gasped, staring at the almost mocking number in disbelief: "...your defense...how come it's so high...?!"
"It's not that my defense is high," Xia Mo looked at her coldly, "it's that your attack is too rubbish."
After saying that, he swung the star staff in his hand.
The star official's normal attack skill (does not consume MP) [Cross White Star] flew out with a bang.
-981!
"ah--!"
With a scream, Xu Xiaobei, who was aggressive a few seconds ago, suddenly fell to the ground the next second.
"Xiaobei!"
Xiaoyu screamed and squatted down, trying to touch the person on the ground.
However, before she could reach out her hand, Xiaobei suddenly turned into white light and disappeared from her sight.
"She clicked to be resurrected." Yao He explained to Xiaoyu with a serious face.
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Mo with hatred on his face: "You stole our monster and killed Xiaobei, Xia Mo, you will regret it!"
regret?
Well, she did regret it.
Xia Mo narrowed her eyes coldly. What she regretted most was that she personally led the three people in front of her to upgrade, gave all the benefits to them, and only finally it was her turn.
But what did we get in the end?
It's not true love, but three knives ruthlessly stabbing into one's heart.
And in this life, when she opens her eyes and sees three knives, what will she do?
Of course, break them, throw them into the furnace, and let them turn to ashes like their original selves.
