Chapter 132
Not wanting to be caught by the players on the ground, Xia Mo asked Augustine to drop her off at the edge of a secluded forest.
Fortunately, she wasn't discovered to be the culprit behind the destruction of the island, otherwise...
She heaved a sigh of relief and finally had time to click on the task reward. The history record popped up, with a striking message at the top.
【Congratulations, you have reached level 33! 】
Upgraded.
Xia Mo raised his eyebrows lightly, then looked down.
Obtained 1 hat, 1 weapon and 1 ring.
The hat belongs to the magic profession, and the quality is very high, it is third-level gold. Looking at the attributes, it is also quite amazing.
Although it does not come with any special attributes, the points added are already very impressive, and it can be regarded as the top of the range among gold quality.
Of course such a good thing should be put on immediately. Without saying a word, Xia Mo changed the hat he had used for transition and put on the new one.
As soon as the hat was fixed, Xia Mo immediately felt as if a force was flowing through his body.
The weapon was a greatsword that could be used by both warriors and paladins, but she had no use for it. She remembered that Ripe Tomato seemed to have complained in the guild a few days ago about not having a suitable weapon, so she contacted him and asked if she wanted this one.
As soon as Ripe Tomato saw the screenshot, his eyes lit up!
[What a great attribute! I want it! ! ! ]
Xia Mo: [Okay, I'll keep it for you. I'll go to the trading hall to trade when I'm done.]
I was feeling down because I died in the pre-game dungeon, but now I've gotten something really good. Suddenly, I feel like the air is fresher than a ripe tomato.
[Okay, boss, I'll tell you when I release the dungeon~]
There was only one ring left. Xia Mo let out a sigh, hoping to get one of the same high quality as the hat.
Third-tier gold, third-tier gold… She muttered softly, and her fingers simultaneously clicked on the ring details.
Name: Dragon Ring
Quality: First-level gold
…
As soon as she saw the second line, her expectations were half dashed.
Another first-level gold...
She doesn't have any equipment on her body that is not first-level, so there is no use in getting one more.
But since I've already given it to her as a reward, I might as well take a look at its attributes before making a decision.
…
General attributes: Health +110, Magic +105, Spell Defense +45, Physical Defense +35 (+20)
Special attribute: Dragon Scale Armor [You are protected by dragon scale armor and can be exempted from 1 physical or spell damage, automatically triggered every 90 seconds]
This ring is actually more suitable for priests. Although the added [Health] and [Magic] are also needed by star officials, it does not have any bonus on [Intelligence] and [Balance], and it has too many defense points, which is a bit off from her needs.
However, the special properties of this ring caught her attention.
The Star Officer does not have any skills that make him immune to damage. When he is injured, he can either take drugs himself or wait for treatment from his priest or warlock teammates. He is quite passive at times.
Although she learned a life-saving skill [Ice Body Protection] from the blueprint, which can block attacks for her to a certain extent, it also has some unavoidable flaws - it is afraid of fire.
The ice created can block most attack skills, but there is a prerequisite: these skills are not of fire attribute.
If you encounter a fire skill, ice cannot actually block it.
Xia Mo had already confirmed this when he fought with Augustine. Augustine's flames sprayed down, and the ice could not even hold on for 0.1 seconds and melted instantly.
So the so-called life-saving is not 100% safe, and she urgently needs a new guarantee.
This ring comes at the right time. It can ignore the skill attributes and directly exempt one damage, which will undoubtedly greatly improve her survivability.
It's just that the CD time is a bit too long. It takes a full 90 seconds to trigger automatically. If it can be shortened to 60 seconds, 45 seconds, or even shorter than 30 seconds, she feels that she will wake up laughing in her dreams!
Of course, the authorities would not allow such a good thing, so Xia Mo stopped daydreaming in time and replaced the ring honestly.
Her health and magic limits increased, but her attack and critical strike decreased slightly.
But it's not a big problem. This slight drop has basically no effect on completing tasks.
After checking the equipment, Xia Mo looked at other spoils. Among a pile of scattered bottles, he suddenly saw a medicine bottle with a very unique appearance.
[Longan Holy Water: A one-time item. Drinking it temporarily increases your spell/physical attack to 250% for 1 minute.]
Just as I was lamenting that the ring's attributes weren't fully compatible with the Star Officer, now I've been given a potion that boosts attack power. And the effect lasts for a full minute, which is quite long. In a close game, it's very likely to turn the tide and win.
After accepting the holy water with satisfaction, Xia Mo noticed something else.
[A scattered map fragment]
Apart from this line of words, there is no other explanation. It seems that I have to collect all the fragments.
I just wonder if the remaining fragments can only be obtained by taking on epic quests?
This cannot be forced. After all, the official has never disclosed detailed information about the epic mission. Even if she wants to find it, it will be difficult to find it.
It’s better to put it aside for now and wait until you have a chance to collect them all in the future.
Riding the little black horse back to Huangs City, Xia Mo completed three sets of city tasks and then rushed to the grocery store.
Ever since she sold the scope and tracker to those players that day, word of the grocery store spread and her business became better and better.
It was so bad that she had to make an appointment in advance to enter the store to avoid a large group of people rushing in and crowding her small store.
But not everyone knows that she has a reservation system. Some players came from far away, and when they found out that they had to get a number and queue up before they could enter the store, they immediately turned their faces away and refused to do it.
"Other stores are open to you at any time, why do you have to be special?"
"Exactly. Even the shops opened by NPCs in the Royal City don't do this. This is too outrageous for a grocery store!"
"Being number one on the list is so impressive, isn't it disgusting to be doing all these roundabout things?!"
"Be unique! So that you can appear capable!"
This is not the first time Xia Mo has encountered this situation. Most of the time, she would ignore these people. After all, many of them are not her potential consumers, nor do they really want to buy things. They just come to join in the fun and stir up trouble.
Normally, she would just glare at them, and these people would shrink their heads and slip away due to her strength. But today, the four people who were making a lot of noise at the door of her shop seemed determined not to leave until the customers were driven away.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he even thought she was easy to control, and started to stop other players from entering.
"You guys are crazy! If you're not going to buy anything, get out of here and get out of my way!"
"You can't get a number yourself, so you won't let others buy? What kind of bandit logic is that! Boss Mo, please do something about this!"
Not only did he make trouble outside the store, but he also attacked her customers?
A dagger was pressed against the throat, and the one who was shouting the loudest suddenly fell silent.
He turned his head and looked sideways at the face so close to him. It was clearly smiling, but why did he feel cold all over?
"This, this is a city! How dare you do that!"
The lips that had been so eloquent just now were now trembling. The troublemaker stiffened his neck and stared at her fearlessly.
Xia Mo raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Her natural face was not soft to begin with, especially her eyebrows and eyes, which were very sharp. In addition, she deliberately made her facial features angular when pinching her face. Even with a smile on her face, it still couldn't hide her frosty face.
The half-closed eyes gave off a glint as sharp as a frosty knife, causing one to feel numb.
"You don't think that taking action in the city will have much impact on me, do you?"
"Or do you want to try it? How miserable will your death be?"
Her words were spoken softly, but they were like icicles, hitting the listener's head one by one.
The troublemaker's breathing stopped and his legs began to weaken uncontrollably!
"Boss... let's go back first..."
Seeing that his momentum was completely crushed, the accomplice next to him hurriedly tried to persuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, every word he uttered trembled.
The onlookers watched this scene and all covered their mouths and laughed.
This smile made several of their accomplices embarrassed, and without caring whether their boss was alive or dead, they turned around and ran away.
Xia Mo smiled and looked at the person in front of him: "Are you still looking for death?"
The troublemaker's face turned pale: "...No, I won't look for it anymore..."
Xia Mo retracted the dagger, without even looking at him, turned around and walked into the store, and began to greet the players who had made reservations to come in.
Buying things is the most important thing. When the players saw that they could buy things, why would they care about the troublemakers? They didn't even look at each other and all went in with a smile.
When Xia Mo remembered to look out, he found that the troublemaker had already disappeared.
While introducing the product to the players, Xia Mo noticed that the private chat icon was flashing all the time. He thought that Qingshui and the others might have completed the prerequisite copy and it was not urgent, so he ignored it and continued to work on his work.
After finishing my work, I started to take stock of today’s income.
The total income was 11,000 gold coins. After deducting the cost of materials and errands, the net profit was almost 7,000 gold, which directly earned back the rent for half a year.
The profit is indeed high, but Xia Mo knows that it is not available every day.
After all, her main job is not a livelihood profession, and most of the things on the shelves now are the extra things she made and stockpiled before. Once this batch of stock is sold out, there will be very few new things on the shelves.
She needs to find a way to expand the source of goods. She cannot sustain the long-term operation by herself.
Perhaps we can consider letting Fenghuo, Yunyao, Mingyue Fusu and others move in?
Thinking this way, she made a note in her memo, planning to ask them when the time was right.
She restocked the store and checked tomorrow's appointments. Hmm, they were full. She clapped her hands, closed the shop, and finally opened the private message she had ignored for so long.
To her surprise, the person who sent the message was not a guildmate, but... Zhuye Zuijiu.
He sent the first message half an hour ago.
[Zhuyezuijiu: Are you free? I want to talk to you]
Since she didn't reply, the other party waited for more than 10 minutes and then said: [I saw it, please reply, it's urgent]
Three minutes later.
【Aren’t you online? Say something! 】
If he hadn't come to find her on his own initiative, Xia Mo would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.
The last time she contacted him was outside the interrogation room in Baita City. Because she had the recorded evidence in her hand, Zhuye Zuijiu was afraid that the recording would be leaked and completely ruin his reputation. In the end, she gritted her teeth and posted an apology to her and Qingyao Zhishang.
She never saw him in the game again after that, as if this person disappeared overnight.
Xia Mo didn't care about his life or death. The only thing she was curious about was why their former vice president Xiao Hongchen suddenly jumped to a new guild called "Zhu Lin Ting Feng"?
The bamboo leaves are drunk, the bamboo forest listens to the wind...
Both contain the word "bamboo", and she doesn't believe that the two guilds have no connection.
But what if they were related? She had no interest in delving into other people's affairs.
Just close the chat box, block the person, and log off.
The next day, when she entered the game and just came online, she found that someone had sent her a message while she was offline.
Xia Mo's intuition told him that this time it wasn't Qingshui and the others.
I clicked on it and saw it was true.
【Xiao Hongchen: Can we have dinner together today? 】
