Chapter 26
Who will be resurrected first? The question is whether they dare!
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was so angry that his teeth were chattering. Suddenly, his mind turned and he thought of something. The anger on his face faded a little, and he grinned slyly.
"Bullying us is equivalent to bullying our guild. Mo Se, just wait, I will tell the president right away!" While warning with bared teeth, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall contacted the guild.
His companions just wanted to sleep every day and wanted to talk to the shepherd boy, but when they saw that he had already posted the message on the guild channel, they had to suppress their thoughts and remained silent.
Guild: Absolute Dynasty
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall: @Everyone, brothers and sisters, we were ambushed by a female star official guarding our corpse. We can't be resurrected. Come on, some of you guys, kill her!
[Cui Yan Niaoniao (Administrator): Give me the coordinates. I'll take a few people over.]
Seeing the administrator coming out, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was delighted and quickly sent the coordinates to the channel.
[Cui Yan Niaoniao (Admin): Received, will be there within 3 minutes]
After closing the chat channel, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall couldn't help but feel smug. But then he turned his head and saw the two silent people beside him. He couldn't help but frown. "Hey, what's wrong with you two? Why don't you say a word in the guild?"
I just want to sleep every day and yawned: "You are the one who said it... I am too lazy to repeat it."
The shepherd boy replied perfunctorily, "We've already seen the smoke, so there's no need to yell at the guild."
The main reason was that he, the shepherd boy, couldn't afford to lose face. After all, he was a level 8 priest, but he was taken away by two skills from this female star official. If the president knew about this, wouldn't he scold him to death?
Of course, face is one aspect. On the other hand, the shepherd boy had a vague feeling that even if Cooking Smoke brought people with him, he would probably... not be a match for Mo Se.
He sighed inwardly and decided not to say anything that would boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige.
Two minutes later, smoke from the cooking stove and a group of people came up as expected.
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, where is the person you are talking about?"
Because it was dark, smoke was rising from the chimneys, but I looked around but didn't see anyone.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was stunned, and hurriedly rotated the gray perspective. His heart skipped a beat: "Oh my god, she seems to have run away!"
I was sitting next to them just now, how could I have slipped away? How could they not have noticed?
The curling smoke looked at him speechlessly: "Then get up. It's embarrassing to lie down for so long."
I just want to sleep every day and watch the shepherd boy busy clicking to resurrect.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was still lying on the ground, motionless for a long time.
The smoke from the cooking stove curled up, and frowned: "What are you doing?"
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall licked his lips and said, "...I'm observing...I'm afraid she's hiding away again like before."
The smoke curled up and became displeased. "Is this how the president trained you? You're a great assassin, but you're acting like a coward. Get up now! Don't waste my time."
Hearing the sound, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall finally got up from the ground and apologized repeatedly with a smile: "I'm so sorry, Cuiyan, I didn't expect her to slip away."
The curling smoke no longer had the desire to continue communicating with him. She flicked her sleeves and took her people back.
In the distance, in a mine about twenty meters away from them, Xia Mo took everything in.
Behind her, Fenghuo patted his chest and sighed, "Luckily, Boss, you reacted quickly. You knew that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was going to call for help, so you hid in this mine in advance."
It wasn't that she reacted quickly, Xia Mo turned around and looked at Fenghuo thoughtfully, but that she knew what kind of person Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was.
She was also a member of the Absolute Dynasty back then, and she knew exactly who the core members were, what they were good at, and what their personalities were like.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has a high combat power, and was the focus of the guild's training in the early days. However, after clearing several dungeons, the guild realized that he was a mere empty-handed creature, with good equipment but poor control. So the guild gradually gave up on his training, and even threw him into the cold palace, and basically never called him again for dungeon openings.
Of course, these are all later stories. Xia Mo doesn't care about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall's personal fate.
What she cared about was that in order to shirk responsibility, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall repeatedly pointed the finger of blame for the failure of the dungeon to her, saying that she was a priest but her healing was not good enough, causing the whole team to suffer.
After being slandered once or twice, President Lingyun Huangtian began to have an opinion of her.
Later on, she couldn't get a share of the equipment she got from clearing dungeons; the skill books she got from completing quests were also stolen.
Recalling the bad things that happened in the Absolute Dynasty, Xia Mo couldn't help but sneer. If it weren't for Xu Xiaobei and Xiaoyu, she would have torn her face with this group of people long ago.
Let’s get back to the present. In short, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a person who looks strong but is actually weak. If he can’t handle something, he will definitely call for help as soon as possible.
Guessing that he would contact someone, Xia Mo took Fenghuo and hid in the mine.
"By the way, what crystals are left in your backpack? Tell me the quality and quantity."
This trip back was originally to complete the forging task, and Xia Mo planned to get some from Fenghuo.
Hearing her question, Fenghuo hurriedly rummaged through his backpack.
"...Uh, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and the others stole most of them. I only have 12 green-blue Dahra crystals, 6 blue ones, and 2 blue-purple ones left... Boss, how many do you need?"
Seeing that this was all that was left after a day's hard work, Fenghuo suppressed his frustration and asked back.
Xia Mo: "Give it all to me."
"Ah? All of them?" Fenghuo was stunned. "Boss, do you need so much?"
Xia Mo nodded: "Well, I accepted a new forging task, which requires a total of 6 copper ingots."
"Copper ingot?" Fenghuo was a little confused. "...What does this have to do with crystal?"
"Copper ingots are not naturally produced and need to be synthesized using crystals."
As Xia Mo explained, he picked up a stone at his feet and began to draw equations for Fenghuo on the ground.
"The quality of Dahra crystals is divided into white, (white-green), green, (green-blue), blue, (blue-purple), purple, (purple-orange), orange, (orange-gold), and gold. Let's not consider orange and gold for now, as those can only be found in high-level maps, so we'll only look at the first few."
"The official copper ingot synthesis formulas are as follows: 64 white ingots = 1 copper ingot, 32 green ingots = 1 copper ingot, 16 blue ingots = 1 copper ingot, and 8 purple ingots = 1 copper ingot."
"But this is just an ideal number. In reality, some crystals will inevitably be wasted due to improper operation during the synthesis process, so the actual number of crystals required will only be more than the formula. In addition to these, there are some intermediate colors between different colors, such as white-green, green-blue, etc. These are intermediate products between two qualities. The official has not clearly stated the specific synthesis quantity, so it is up to players to explore bit by bit. Therefore."
Looking at Fenghuo's surprised and focused expression, Xia Mo arched his eyebrows and continued, "So, the number of crystals I need is no less than that. You can stock up more in the future, I need them at any time."
After estimating the price of these crystals in his mind, Xia Mo directly asked his friend to transfer the money: "A total of 12 silver coins, transfer it to you."
Suddenly coming back to his senses from her explanation, Fenghuo shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Boss, I won't take this money from you! Take it back!"
What a joke! The other person came all the way to save him and vent his anger, but he hasn't even thanked him yet. How could he accept the other person's money?
Xia Mo smiled and said, "Take it. I will need to buy more from you in the future. Do you want to make a loss?"
Fenghuo's throat rolled up and down, and at this moment, he felt infinitely moved.
"Okay, thank you, sir! I'll work hard at mining and make you the best blacksmith in the game!"
Looking at Fenghuo's clear and determined eyes, Xia Mo wanted to say that if one day she really became a top blacksmith, then Fenghuo, who provided her with crystals, would definitely stand at the top of the miners like her.
It was getting late, Xia Mo said goodbye to Fenghuo and rode his little black horse to Luwalu County.
There was no other way, since she was quite famous in the small town, she had to find somewhere else to stay at night.
On the way back, she ate a piece of rye bread she had bought in the morning to stabilize her hunger. Although her physical strength was about to reach the critical point, she thought that she would be able to move in soon, so she didn't waste the physical strength potion given by Andrew.
The convenience of having a mount is that it would take two hours to walk during the day, but now you can reach the destination in half an hour by galloping on a horse.
I found a cheap hotel, paid 10 silver coins, and went to bed immediately.
The holographic cabin then opened and Xia Mo crawled out.
Different from the tired feeling yesterday, maybe it was because he gained 0.05 points of physical fitness from the Elf Queen, but at this moment, Xia Mo felt nothing except a slight soreness in his legs.
It's a good thing, it means she is ahead of others.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Xia, where the hell have you been? Are you still paying the rent? If you don't have money, move out now and don't delay me from making money!"
Xia Mo was stunned for a moment. Oh yes, after coming back after 5 years, she almost forgot that she was not only too poor to buy a computer monitor, but she could barely pay the rent.
So he opened the drawer, took out two star coins, turned around, opened the door, and stuffed the money directly into the hands of the person outside.
"I've paid it, but I won't move."
Without saying a word, Xia Mo stuffed the money in, closed the door and went back to the house.
Outside the door, the landlady took the money but was still cursing.
"You're just a little thing that nobody wants, why are you putting on such a stinky face..."
"You don't do anything all day long, just stay in my house playing games. It's so annoying..."
…
Xia Mo had long been accustomed to the landlord's scolding, so she didn't react much. However, she looked at the drizzle outside the window and the huge electronic billboard that was still working in the rain. The words "Mecha Age" flashing on the sign gave her an idea.
Taking out an umbrella that was as old as it could be from under the folding bed, Xia Mo stepped out of the house, lay down in a puddle and turned into a small path.
Jiluo District, Zewei Repair Shop.
Seeing the familiar sign, Xia Mo's brows relaxed immediately, but she did not walk into the store immediately. Instead, she folded her umbrella and placed it outside the store, then raised her left and right hands and covered her ears tightly.
The moment she stepped into the store, a shrill sound suddenly exploded.
"Wow, welcome to Zewei Repair Shop. This is a paradise for the poor and a hell for the rich!"
"Wow, welcome to Zewei Repair Shop. This is a paradise for the poor and a hell for the rich!"
…
Like a mantra, the three words "wakaka" kept circling in my mind.
Fortunately, Xia Mo blocked his ears in advance, blocking most of the robot's decibels.
A middle-aged man wearing an old-fashioned helmet came out in a wheelchair. He looked Xia Mo up and down, and seemed to think that she was not a customer of the store. He raised his hand and waved it irritably: "Where did you come from, girl? Get out of here quickly and don't delay my work."
Not only did Xia Mo not leave, he even grinned and said, "Mr. Zewei, your work must be going badly. Do you need my help? Just give me a little tip afterwards."
"Help?" Zewei snorted coldly, his tone and eyes filled with disdain. "You're just a young girl, yet you're so arrogant. What? Are you a mecha major?"
Xia Mo: "Yes, I'm a freshman at the Yarman Military University, Xia Mo."
"Hey, you're almost a freshman, meaning you haven't even started school yet? Okay, get lost now! Come back when you can tell the difference between a screwdriver and a hammer!"
As he said this, he turned his wheelchair and left.
Xia Mo immediately said, "Is Mr. Zewei worried about a mecha design?"
Li Zewei suddenly paused, turned around, his eyes full of surprise.
Xia Mo: "I know how to modify that picture, but I also have conditions for modifying it. It's not much, just a tip of 200 star coins."
Let her get through next month's rent first.
Li Zewei looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Okay, if you have this ability, I can give you 500 star coins."
Hidden in the studio behind the shop, Xia Mo took a quick glance at the design drawing and then used a pen to outline the new direction on it.
Li Zewei looked at the blueprint and his eyes widened instantly: "So this is the problem! Wait, how do you know so much?"
The look of surprise turned to suspicion.
Xia Mo smiled faintly: "I just like studying mechas."
This is not nonsense, but the truth.
It's just that the whole truth was not told.
For example, she was reborn, and five years of mecha theory study and practical operation have made her familiar with every detail of mainstream mecha.
For example, her father was once a mecha master. Although it is not known which department he belonged to, the mecha notes he left behind are enough to show his father's attainments in mecha.
In short, with this experience, it is not difficult to modify a home entertainment mecha.
Li Zewei just stared at her like this, and in the end, no one knew whether he had received the letter or not, but he took out 500 star coins from the rusty iron box.
"Take it."
Xia Mo only picked up two: "I only want 200."
Before leaving, Li Zewei suddenly called her: "Xia Mo, the government of Alman Star is now pushing a holographic game for all people called "Protoss". I heard that they will open a way to exchange game coins for real money. If you are short of money, you can go in and play. You may be able to earn some living expenses."
Xia Mo curved his eyebrows and said, "I know, I'm just playing."
All her tuition fees and mecha maintenance fees were exchanged from game coins.
Li Zewei was stunned when he heard the voice: "What's your ID?"
Xia Mo: "Ink color."
Looking at her back as she left with an umbrella, Li Zewei was stunned.
Ink...wasn't that the female star official who became famous in the street fighting? So it turned out to be a little girl like her?
*
Xia Mo returned to the rental house, quickly rinsed the honeycomb room, then took out a bottle of nutrient solution from the box and drank it.
Lying on the bed, Xia Mo recalled over and over again what happened between her and Li Zewei in her previous life.
To be honest, she and Li Zewei don't have much interaction in real life, and they only meet in the store about once a week.
They didn't talk much every time they met. One of them designed the drawings silently, while the other was typing away beside him. Of course, sometimes the roles would be reversed, like Xia Mo doing the work himself while Li Zewei wrote and drew on the desk.
Although the two people are of different generations, they hit it off right away when it comes to mechas.
When you really think about it, the place where the two of them communicate the most is still in the game.
Li Zewei chose a profession that made him a well-known engineer in the continent of Pergas. However... since some time, Xia Mo gradually lost contact with him.
At first she thought Li Zewei was too busy in real life and had no time to log into the game. Later, when she went to the repair shop to look for him, she found that the shop was empty.
Unfortunately, Li Zewei is a person who doesn't like to communicate with others. Xia Mo asked around among the neighbors but couldn't find out his whereabouts.
This matter became an unsolvable mystery in Xia Mo's heart.
Xia Mo turned over in bed, muttering to himself in a daze: "...In this life...I'm back...Li Zewei...Don't disappear again..."
*
The next day, Xia Mo simply washed up and logged into the game as usual.
Yesterday she asked the pastry chef Ashaya and got the answer that there was movement in Longgu.
The absence of landslides indicates that the dragon will not awaken for the time being.
After being reborn, although Xia Mo remembered all the major events on the continent, she was inevitably vague when it came to the specific dates, so she could only rely on asking NPCs to judge when the dragon would wake up.
While eating her breakfast on the first floor of the hotel, she asked the hotel owner casually.
Seeing that she had made a purchase there before, the innkeeper was very welcoming. "Lately, things are getting weird in Dragon Valley. I heard the carrier pigeons from the post office next door don't fly there anymore, preferring to take a detour rather than go near. Tsk, that's really strange. Could it be that there really are giant dragons in Dragon Valley, as the legend says?"
Yes, there is, and it’s not small.
Xia Mo nodded in his heart. As the first world-class boss to appear since the launch of "Protoss", it caused a sensation across the entire continent that year.
Countless players flocked to the game, hoping to have a share in the boss battle.
"Boss, has there been a landslide in Longgu recently?" Not wanting to hear the boss continue to express his feelings, Xia Mo asked the key question directly.
The hotel owner immediately shook his head: "Landslide? No, no! I just had a guest coming from that direction, and I haven't heard of any landslide."
Oh, it seems that there will still be some time, Xia Mo thought, and then stopped asking questions. He clicked on the world ranking list while eating a sandwich.
She is currently level 12 and still firmly in first place, but there is a long line of level 11 players below her.
It seems that they are all leveling maniacs like her. Xia Mo thought about it and decided to clear the level 10 dungeon immediately, so as not to delay and give the first kill to others.
She opened the friend list and planned to call Qingshui, but he was not online. The same was true for Taotao. After searching for the ID, the other party's avatar was also gray.
Then I can only find a wild team to join.
So I opened the world channel to take a look at the situation.
After leaving the Novice Village, players rarely use the town channel to chat. After all, the people in the town are only a part of the many players. The world channel is a broader platform, and it is more convenient to call people on it.
Xia Mo glanced over and saw that even though it was early in the morning, news about teaming up to clear the dungeon was already coming in one after another.
She didn't care about the strength of the members, it didn't matter who she teamed up with, so she simply clicked the [Random Team] button next to it.
A few seconds later, she was matched into a team.
Skillfully adjust the conversation to team mode so that teammates can communicate with each other even if they are not in the same place.
Seeing the new star officer joining the team, the hunter White-Faced Ghost was stunned for a moment and privately chatted: "Heiyu, isn't this the female star officer you mentioned yesterday?"
Hei Yu Qing Tian had just finished changing his equipment when he heard the voice and looked back at the team list: "Yes, it's her."
"Ah, what a coincidence! Then after we finish the game, let's invite her to join the guild?" the white-faced ghost asked excitedly.
Black Domain Sky: "Okay. Stop private chat and enter team mode."
It was only after joining the team that Xia Mo discovered that she had met someone she knew again.
Heiyu Qingtian, a capital player whose ID makes everyone think of money.
Xia Mo didn't know what his real identity was, and the players had different opinions about his background, but there was one thing everyone could agree on, which was that Black Domain Qingtian was in charge of wealth that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
No matter what he does in the game, as long as he is willing, there is countless wealth supporting him.
Naturally, the guild he founded, the Black Domain Kingdom, also became a place that countless players rushed to join. After all, as long as they stepped in, it meant that they would get much richer guild resources from other guilds in the future.
However, Xia Mo did not join.
The reason for not joining, in addition to Xu Xiaobei and the others, is more importantly that the Black Domain Kingdom never accepts applications from outsiders. They only send invitations through themselves to let people they like join.
As for Xia Mo, he never received an invitation from beginning to end.
