Chapter 187 (Extra)
When she was at the bottom of the cave, Xia Mo didn't notice the other party's name. Now that she had control of the situation and saw the word "Jeff" hanging above the opposite head, she realized who this guy was - NPC Jeff, the famous Grandet of the Gods, who loved money like his life and was stingy, and was worthy of being called the most stingy NPC of the Gods.
Who would have thought that the place he was at the beginning was actually the Libs Mine?
Oh, yes, Xia Mo thought about it, there are piles of gold coins in this mine, and Jeff is most likely the guardian of these treasures, which is consistent with his personality.
In that case, those oil drums are also his...
Thinking about how he was almost injured by the oil barrel when he opened the third treasure chest, Xia Mo snorted coldly, and still held the weapon in his hand tightly against the opponent.
"Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Keep going. I want to see what you can do."
Jeff, kneeling on the ground, was shaking like a sieve: "...No, I won't dare... In front of my aunt... How dare I... "
Xia Mo just looked down at him quietly for a while, then retracted his weapon and said, "Lead the way."
Jeff immediately raised his head, a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, I'll take you out right away."
Xia Mo: "I said take me to the next place."
The map hasn't been explored yet.
Jeff's expression froze, a hint of surprise and panic flashing in his eyes. He rubbed his hands and said considerately, "No, auntie, this mine is very dangerous. I suggest you go back quickly."
"Danger?" Xia Mo raised his eyebrows and chuckled sarcastically, "Isn't it you who created the danger?"
Jeff didn't expect that his little trick had already been seen through by the person in front of him, and his face turned pale and blue.
"Don't waste my time. Lead the way."
It’s enough that what I said just now can serve as a warning. Xia Mo doesn’t want to delay any further.
Seeing her impatience, Jeff didn't dare to say "no" again. He stood up and walked to the front to lead the way.
Xia Mo followed behind and observed the surroundings carefully. This was a corridor located above the mine. Although it was not large, it had everything Jeff needed for daily life. Everything was neatly arranged here.
The corridor is not long and it takes less than 2 minutes to reach the end.
There is a wall at the end. Xia Mo guessed that there must be some mechanism on the wall, and after going out, he will reach a new map.
But Jeff suddenly stopped here: "Auntie, are you sure you want to go out?"
Xia Mo looked at him and didn't respond.
Jeff pursed his lips, his face full of worry: "I'm not lying to you, it's really dangerous out there."
"There are few people outside. It is a gathering place for various poisonous snakes, birds, and wild beasts. We are going up there to serve them a buffet."
"Oh, really?" Xia Mo raised the last word in his voice.
Jeff nodded vigorously: "Yes!!!"
Xia Mo raised the corners of his lips, revealing a meaningful smile: "If it's so dangerous, then don't go up. I'll go alone and keep you safe."
"Oh no..." Jeff hadn't expected her to do what she said. His throat choked and he immediately changed his words. "Then I won't let you take the risk alone. Let me go up with you!"
Haha, Xia Mo sneered. How could she not see what Jeff was thinking?
There must be a lot of treasure outside this wall. The reason why Jeff repeatedly obstructed her on the grounds of danger was obviously because he was worried that the treasure outside the wall would be taken away by her.
But isn't the purpose of her trip for the treasure?
She tapped her fingers on the wall and said with a stern face: "Why don't you open it quickly?"
"Okay... I'll do it right away..."
Due to his lack of strength and being no match for the person in front of him, Jeff finally opened the door in the wall despite being extremely reluctant.
The brick walls slide parallel to each other, revealing a completely different scenery outside.
Even though she had seen all kinds of winding, majestic, and spectacular scenery of the gods, the moment the scenery before her came into Xia Mo's eyes, she still felt deeply shocked from the bottom of her heart.
Tree, a huge ancient banyan tree.
The dense treetops that stretch as far as the eye can see cover the entire sky like a giant umbrella, leaving only a few gaps between the layers of green leaves. Sunlight shines through these small holes onto the ground, forming beams of varying thickness. The ground is covered with mottled light spots, and walking in it, players feel as if they have entered a forest kingdom.
Xia Mo had never seen such a tall ancient tree. She looked at the gnarled trunk in the middle and intuitively felt that its diameter was probably half the size of a small island.
What? You don't remember what Xiao Zhongdao looks like?
Do you remember the official winter event held at the end of last year - catching snowmen?
Xiaozhong Island was requisitioned for individual players, while Dazhong Island was designated for team competitions. Xia Mo was greedy for individual prizes at the time and wanted to sign up at Xiaozhong Island, but considering that the prizes for the team competition would be useful to Qingyao, she turned around and went to Dazhong Island to participate.
Don’t think that Xiaozhong Island is small in area just because its name contains the word “Xiao”. It is not the case.
It is just slightly smaller than the large island next to it, so it is called "small" to distinguish it. In fact, it takes one hour for players to walk around the small island at a constant speed.
In other words, it would take a full hour to walk around the trunk of this truly towering tree, not to mention its lush branches and leaves extending outward. The area projected on the ground is probably even larger than that of Dazhong Island.
Xia Mo didn't know that the gods actually had such a big banyan tree. She was shocked for a long time before she came to her senses, and then she noticed something glittering hidden among the branches and leaves.
Treasure chest!
Her eyes lit up instantly.
Just as she was about to step out, Jeff suddenly threw her a message about forming a team.
[Jeff the Miser invites you to join a team. Do you accept?]
Xia Mo thought about it and chose [Yes]
A team list immediately appeared in the left perspective. She was the captain and Jeff was a team member.
The captain can check the basic information of the team members. Xia Mo didn’t know what Jeff’s basic attributes were, so he immediately clicked on his panel.
ID: Jeff
Level: 55
Occupation: Soldier (retired)
HP: 157W
MP (magic value): 3W
Personality traits: thrifty, stingy, timid
Xia Mo was a little surprised that he was actually a warrior, and his health was also surprisingly high.
According to past experience, the average total health of a warrior player of his level should be around 1 million, but Jeff's is more than 500,000 higher than the average level!
A natural meat shield! She's perfect for being a shield!
Xia Mo was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She calmly turned off the panel, took out the grappling hook from her backpack, swung it at the low branch, and hooked it with another grappling hook. The metal claw hooked it firmly.
Following the rope, she quickly climbed up a branch that was thicker than her thigh. Then she was about to walk towards the box at the end of the branch when a message suddenly popped up.
System: [Too far away from team members, no action allowed! ]
What? Xia Mo lowered his head and realized that Jeff was standing there like a wooden stake, not moving from the beginning to the end.
Do you want to use this method to delay her and prevent her from taking the treasure chest on the tree?
Xia Mo saw through his intention, quickly swept his eyes across the ground, and then fell on a few inconspicuous small holes.
She waved her weapon, Mark of the Undead!
She marked three rodents in the burrow and made them her helpers.
——Go, Pika, drive the disobedient guys up the tree!
As she gave the instruction, the rodent squeaked out of its burrow and ran straight towards Jeff.
Jeff never expected that the mouse would target him. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He screamed and rushed towards the banyan tree, climbing up using his hands and feet.
Rodents can only dig holes but cannot climb trees. The three mice couldn't bite their target, so they had to jump and scream under the tree trunk.
In the tree, Jeff, who had escaped, looked pale.
"Woo woo woo, these rats are so scary!"
Xia Mo smiled imperceptibly and turned to walk towards the box at the end.
I got the treasure chest hanging on the tree branch. There were no gold coins in it, but there was a skill scroll.
Xia Mo's first reaction was surprise, but other than that he wasn't too surprised.
After all, the Protoss has a total of eight professions, and the probability of opening a skill scroll that is suitable for a star official is only one in eight, and even if it is opened for a star official, it is likely to be a duplicate.
She now has a total of 5 professional skills, the most basic normal attack, single-target attack [Star Shock], group attack plus freezing [Star Extinction], single-target attack with continuous damage [Starlight], and group attack plus speed reduction [Starry Sky].
All 5 of these were obtained from my career mentor Quinn.
Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the number of professional skills that players can learn, and the Protoss system does not impose any restrictions on this. However, in reality, only a very small number of players can acquire new skills beyond the 5 basic professional skills.
Didn't I say that? The Protoss is full of traps and requires tricks everywhere.
Want new professional skills? Sure, go run around the map and do quests. Who knows, maybe one day you'll get lucky and actually get one!
Back then, a player jumped into this trap and threatened to unlock the sixth professional skill. For this purpose, he even opened a record post and updated the map running situation every day.
The post was updated for a full 180 days. Players all admired the author's tireless spirit and visited the post every few days to cheer him up. However, on the 181st day, the player stood up and burst into tears, saying that he would never run around the map again in his life!
He sent a lot of messages, and Xia Mo definitely couldn't remember the specific sentences, but the general content was that the Howling Protoss map was too huge, and he couldn't finish it even after running for half a year!
Not finishing the race was one thing, but after six months of hard work, he didn't even get a single professional skill scroll! It was heartbreaking!
So his mentality collapsed. How high-spirited he was half a year ago, how heartbroken he was half a year later!
After posting these accusations, the original poster closed the post on the spot and no longer allowed anyone to reply.
As for whether the poster continued to play the game afterwards, Xia Mo had no idea.
In short, this incident shows how rare it is to develop professional skills, develop professional skills that suit you, and develop professional skills that suit you and are not repetitive!
So Xia Mo had no idea at all.
She lightly picked up the scroll from the bottom of the treasure chest and casually opened it to take a look.
dumbfounded.
[Professional Skill: Kang Hai Xing Jiao (Suitable Occupation: Star Officer)]
Holy shit! This once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and she got it?!
