Chapter 177 (Extra)
The great shock to the Capital Star Military Department came and went quickly. In just two weeks, the new Minister Qi Congyi had reorganized the military department into an orderly manner.
Everything returned to its former tranquility. The execution of Han Rantai and others was like a thin page of paper, lightly turned over as history progressed.
Xia Mo went to visit Zhou Qian, who lost both her husband and daughter.
Zhou Qian was stronger than she thought. After the funeral, she put her villa up for sale and sold her husband's property to someone else. She got a large sum of money and prepared to travel around the planets.
"Auntie Zhou, best wishes."
Xia Mo accompanied her to the Starship Aviation Building, and before parting, she gave her most sincere blessings.
"You are also Xiao Mo, study hard, I look forward to the day you graduate."
Zhou Qian pulled her suitcase into the security checkpoint.
Xia Mo looked at her disappearing back, and there was one thing he never said, and of course he would never say it - she was the one who killed Wei Xiaoyu.
After leaving the Aviation Building, Xia Mo did not return to Li Zewei's repair shop, but went to a building next to the Municipal Park.
When I was following Shen Fang on the bus before, I happened to pass by this place. The scenery was nice, with green land and lakes, and it was very livable.
At that time, Xia Mo fell in love with this place at first sight.
It’s a pity that the price of this property is not cheap, and the funds are a bit tight if she wants to buy it. Xia Mo plans to rent one first, and then buy it when she makes more money in the game.
After choosing a one-bedroom apartment facing south, Xia Mo contacted the seller and negotiated the price. After completing the formalities that day, she packed the information and transferred it to Li Zewei's account.
"I've rented a new house with a nice environment for you. Let's start moving tomorrow." Xia Mo said in the communication.
I thought Li Zewei would shirk his responsibility, but when he heard he could live in a building in the municipal park, he immediately broke into a grin. "Oh, an old man like me can finally enjoy his life. Not bad, not bad. Have you got the property certificate yet?"
Xia Mo rolled his eyes secretly: "The house is rented, not bought yet."
"What? I didn't buy it, eh——"
There was undisguised disgust on the other end of the voice.
Xia Mo gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to you to stay here or not. I've already paid the rent, so it's vacant if you don't want to live here."
"Hey, no, no! I've already paid, why wouldn't I live here? Hey, I'll move tomorrow~"
Just by listening to his voice, you can tell that Li Zewei is very happy. Xia Mo curled up the corners of his mouth and hung up the phone.
The repair shop will continue to be maintained, but it will not be rented out or sold to anyone. If Li Zewei is bored in the future and wants to make something small, he can come here to practice. If he doesn't like tinkering, he can continue to stay in the municipal park and enjoy his leisure time.
After finishing all this, Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
it's over.
All the mysteries that had been lingering in my head finally came to an end.
A new journey begins, and after returning to school, Xia Mo plunges into the game again.
Her level is still stuck at level 40, but now many players have overtaken her and she has fallen out of the top ten. When she opened the world channel, she found that many players were sighing and saying that she had fallen from the altar.
Xia Mo smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.
Just as I was about to close the channel, I saw two familiar IDs refreshed.
[48 Degrees Boiling Water: Family, rank isn't everything! Why don't you check out the overall strength rankings? Ren Mo Se is still firmly in first place!]
[Thirty-Seven Degrees Ice Cube: [Screenshot] Look for yourselves, not only is it firmly in the top spot, but it's also hundreds of times ahead of the next highest ranking. Such a crushing gap. How can you say it's fallen from grace?]
After the two clarified this, many players became curious and opened her profile to see how tall she was. But when they opened it...
[Holy crap, over 20,000 combat power?! Is this a human?]
[Oh my god, I worked so hard to get 1000 points, and she actually...? I won't say anymore, this is so embarrassing!]
[…I’m sorry, I was blind to criticize the number one on the list (I slap myself)]
[Looking at it this way, her level isn't even in the top ten, yet her combat power is still ranked first. Isn't this strength too terrifying?]
[A scumbag shamelessly asks, how can I reach even one-tenth of the master's level? (Breaking tears)]
The private chat channel suddenly shook.
[48 Degrees Boiling Water: Boss, you're finally online! I haven't seen you in a while!]
【Mo Se: Hmm, something happened. What happened?】
[48 Degrees Boiling Water: Excuse me, are you free right now? I'm about to go to the mercenary hall to take on a quest. If you're interested, I can assign the quest to you.]
Mercenary mission...
Generally, players don’t have time to do it, or it is too difficult to do, so they hire others to help them complete it.
Thinking that there really wasn't anything else planned for today, Xia Mo became interested: [Mission type? Difficulty level?]
Mercenary missions are divided into one star, two stars... to five stars according to their difficulty, from low to high.
[48 Degrees Boiling Water: A maritime cargo escort mission, difficulty level 3.5 stars. Estimated round trip time is 3 hours. Experience reward is approximately 60,000.]
It is not difficult and does not take long. The most important thing is that the experience value reward is relatively generous. Xia Mo fell in love with the 60,000 experience points at first sight and agreed immediately.
【Mo Se: Just assign it to me, I’ll take it】
[48-degree boiling water: Alright! Thank you, sir!]
An order was transferred to her.
[Player "48 Degrees Boiling Water" has designated you as the recipient of mercenary mission No. 9348. Do you accept?]
【accept】
The panel refreshes and a task appears.
[Mercenary Mission (Order Number: 9348): Successfully escort a batch of goods to Yayaro Town (Time Limit: 100 Minutes)]
The town of Yayaro is a place that players are very familiar with. It is the starting point of the sea adventure and all players participating in the weekly mission will start from here.
But that was during the event. In fact, [Yayaro Town] is 6 nautical miles away from the player's mainland.
According to the system instructions, the player who receives this task needs to first go to the shipyard on the seaside to rent a ship, then put the goods on the ship and transport it out.
Xia Mo originally wanted to use her own ocean-going vessel to deliver the item. After all, her vessel was fast, stable, and had its own defense system. However, when she wanted to use her own vessel, she was told by the system that [the use of private vessels is prohibited].
Xia Mo:?
Well, then I can only rent it.
The cost of renting a boat is charged to the person who placed the order, that is, Boiling Water. Xia Mo picked one with good overall performance, asked the NPC to transfer the goods on it, and went out to sea.
The 100-minute countdown began and the cargo ship slowly sailed out of the port.
However, not long after driving out, the small speaker above suddenly announced a message: [Battle Pet PK System is now online, owners are welcome to sign up~]
Xia Mo's eyes lit up and he immediately clicked on the battle pet home.
The divine beast Jingjing was sleeping on the grass in his home, while Xiaoyi was pecking at the ground with his sharp beak like an old hen, and no one knew what he was pecking at.
Xia Mo threw a piece of battle pet steak to each of them. As soon as the two guys smelled the meat, they pounced on them instantly!
"Eat slowly, there's no rush."
She stretched out her finger and touched the head of the hungry spirit in the panel.
Although it is flat now, the amazing thing is that you can still feel the real touch from your fingertips, as if the battle pet is right in front of you.
Then he touched Xiaoyi's little head, and the furry touch felt particularly realistic.
"I have something to discuss with you two," Xia Mo said, taking advantage of the two guys enjoying their meal. "There's an opportunity right now. You can fight with other battle pets to improve your level and combat power, and you can also gain battle pet honors. Do you want to go?"
Jingjing shook his big tail behind him without thinking.
Xia Mo understood what it meant, it was an expression of agreement.
So Xinran narrowed her eyes and turned to Xiaoyi: "What about you? Do you want to go?"
Xiaoyi was holding a steak in his mouth, and when he heard the words, he felt that the meat was no longer tasty.
Xia Mo: "Why? You don't want to?"
Xiaoyi opened his sharp beak and the steak fell out of his mouth. He opened his dark eyes, and although he didn't say a word, his expression clearly said - he didn't want to! ! !
Jingjing from next door finished eating the steak, slowly raised his head, and glanced at it: "Awooo."
——Coward
Xiaoyi instantly turned his head away and stared at it: "Chirp!"
——I’m not afraid!
Jingjing: If you’re not scared, what are you afraid of?
Xiaoyi: I, I was just measuring!
Jingjing: Haha~ Do you think I believe it or not?
Jingjing: You little piece of trash, you eat your master's things all day long. I told you to go out and make your master proud, but you're scared. Forget it, just stay here and eat and wait for death for the rest of your life~
After saying that, he turned his head away and no longer looked at it.
Xiao Yi, who was mercilessly mocked, stood there in a daze. He looked at the steak under his feet, then looked up at Xia Mo outside the panel. Finally, between eating and waiting to die and improving the value of his bird's life, he chose the latter with difficulty.
"Chiu..."
——I’ll go, why not go...
Xia Mo grinned in satisfaction: "That's right, it's good to know that I don't keep any idle pets here~"
Xiaoyi: !!! Yes, yes!
The chance of encountering sea monsters in the sea during the day is lower. Xia Mo was a little more relaxed than the last time she went to the Gulf of Isai. She sat on the deck and began to practice forging proficiency again.
She sold a few pieces of the equipment she forged last time to the guild, and exchanged the rest for money at the merchant house.
She originally wanted to sell them in her own grocery store to save on stall fees, but the business scope listed on her business license did not include equipment. If she wanted to sell this, she would have to apply for a license specifically for opening an equipment store.
There was one more thing to do, so Xia Mo wrote down the list and planned to do it when he had time.
A wave of mist suddenly hit her face.
Xia Mo wiped his face and looked at the sea vigilantly.
About 3 kilometers away from the cargo ship, a water curtain far above sea level was rapidly approaching her.
Tsunami!
She reacted instantly and quickly turned the boat around.
Damn it, she knew the mission wouldn't be that easy!
Xia Mo looked at the sea map and found that her current location was far away from other small maps. The only place where she could hide was the [Dust Ridge] in the northeast.
Without thinking much, she immediately steered the boat in that direction.
The cargo ship's engine hummed and the speed of the ship increased instantly!
However, the tsunami was faster than the boat. After rushing out for a few minutes, Xia Mo looked back and found that the water curtain behind him was getting closer and closer!
A curtain of water taller than a skyscraper is coming like a tidal wave. If this continues, the cargo ship will be overtaken sooner or later. What should we do?
Xia Mo gritted his teeth and opened the ship's warehouse. The warehouse panel showed that 10% of the goods in this batch were about to expire.
Expired……
The thought flashed through his mind, and Xia Mo immediately chose to [discard] some of it.
10% of the cargo poured into the water, the hull became lighter, and the wind blowing in the face became significantly stronger.
The boat is speeding up!
Xia Mo quickly turned his head to confirm, only to see that the water curtain that was originally chasing aggressively had stabilized its distance from the cargo ship after the cargo ship accelerated.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Great! The tsunami couldn't catch up with her.
Her eyes turned back from the water curtain, and suddenly the next second, a floating colorful scroll on the sea in front of her caught her attention.
Xia Mo took a closer look.
Hey, it’s a treasure map!
