Chapter 53
After a good night's sleep, at 4 o'clock the next morning, before dawn, Xia Mo got out of bed and entered the holographic cabin.
After having breakfast at the hotel, she immediately rushed to Matthew's enchantment shop.
In fact, Xia Mo still has great confidence in Matthew's technology, but he feels uneasy every day he hasn't seen the synthesized weapon.
At 4 o'clock in the royal city, there was no pedestrian on the wide streets. The brilliant lights of last night were extinguished after the crowds dispersed, leaving only a few scattered street lamps, barely illuminating the royal city in the dark night.
In the darkness, Xia Mo saw a shop with a dim light in the distance. That shop was none other than Matthew's enchantment shop.
It seems that Matthew stayed up all night to synthesize it.
Xia Mo walked in quietly and knocked on the wall next to him.
Matthew, who was sleeping on the table, suddenly woke up. He opened his tired eyes, but his tone was full of joy: "You're here!"
He bent down and placed the enchanted weapon on the table. "The two materials are well combined. Take a look."
Xia Mo picked up the Star Wand and clicked on the enchantment attribute on it.
In addition to the Dragon's Reverse Scale and Deep Sea Pearl, the slot that previously held the Rhino Horn has now become [Enhanced Mutated Bear Bile].
[Enhanced Mutated Bear Bile: Installed on a weapon, it increases weapon durability by +20. Each time a skill is released, it can poison the victim (applicable to any class)]
After seeing the properties of the synthesized enchanted item, Xia Mo's eyes lit up!
The synthesized bear bile not only retains its original poisoning properties, but also incorporates some of the benefits of rhino horn. Although the increased durability has been reduced from 50 to 20, overall, it is considered a very successful synthesis!
As expected of the skilled Matthew, Xia Mo knew that he had found the right person.
Her heart pounded with excitement, but she suppressed her joy and accepted the weapon. "Including the expedited fee, how much is it in total?"
Matthew rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "50 silver coins will do."
50? Xia Mo's eyes moved. This is too little...
If only enchantment and expediting are included, the price is reasonable, but the problem is that if synthesis is included, it will not be this price.
Back then, those player enchanters who had learned how to synthesize would ask for 10 gold. Although it was too much, compared to Matthew, he was just doing charity.
A good enchanter is worth spending money to continue supporting his career. Without thinking, Xia Mo took out 5 gold coins, put them on the table, and turned to leave.
"Ah, adventurer! Why are you giving so much? Come back, come back soon!"
Matthew's surprised voice kept ringing behind him, but Xia Mo just smiled faintly and quickly disappeared into the night.
[Gain Matthew's Favorability +5]
Before leaving the royal city, Xia Mo once again received a message of Matthew's affection.
She smiled, closed the message, pulled out the little black horse, and galloped north.
Qingshui set the dungeon time at 8 o'clock in the morning. While there was still time, she had to complete the city mission of Huangs City.
This is her fixed daily task, and she must find time to complete it no matter how busy she is. After all, if she can pay less tax one day earlier, she can save more money than others.
It took Xia Mo 2 hours to complete all 3 sets of city tasks, and he saved up 30 resident honor points today.
Since binding the city, she hasn't missed a single day of quests. Xia Mo feels that if nothing unexpected happens, her points ranking should be first. She wants to see how other players are doing, so she clicks on the Huangsi City Residents' Points Ranking...
Unexpectedly, she was the only one on the huge list. Apart from her, the place below was completely empty.
Xia Mo was silent for two seconds and closed the list.
Very good, she overestimated the self-awareness of other players. Before seeing the substantial effect of these points, other players were indeed unwilling to spend time on city tasks.
There was still an hour and a half left until 8 o'clock, but people from the guild had already started to come online.
[Laughing until my face collapses: @Everyone, good morning everyone, I guess everyone's still asleep? Ah, is this the loneliness of the strong? In this vast world, I can't even find a close friend who wakes up as early as me (picking my nose.jpg)]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: What are you doing so crazy so early in the morning?]
[Ripe Tomato: Bro, your confidant is here, Wuhu~]
[Laughing until my face collapses: Oh my god! Why are you two here so early in the morning? This is so rare!]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: Come up early to prepare~]
[Ripe Tomato: I was so excited about getting the first kill in the dungeon that I couldn't sleep all night.]
[Knife hidden in crotch: To be honest, I was also excited all night]
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: What you said seems a bit ambiguous? ]
[Knife hidden in crotch: ...Get lost! ]
[Salad with Meat Sauce (Admin): @Everyone, the list was released last night and posted on the guild bulletin board. Everyone go take a look, divide yourself into teams, and then contact your team leader. The team leader will arrange for the reorganization.]
As soon as the administrator's salad came out, everyone immediately put away their playful smiles and responded seriously.
Xia Mo also replied: [Received]
It was not until then that everyone noticed that she was also online.
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: Hey, can the boss also be so excited that he can't sleep? He actually came up at the same time as us]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: Don't flatter yourself, you're just nervous, and being prepared is called being at ease.]
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: Oh! (rolling eyes) @墨色, big boss, can I ask when you came online? Maybe I can get up early and do missions with you in the future.]
Since he was cueed, Xia Mo had no choice but to confess the truth: [4 points]
The entire guild fell silent.
After several full seconds, he broke the dead silence with disbelief after laughing so hard his face was paralyzed: [4 o'clock? !!! Boss, you don't sleep! ! ! ] Is this still a human being?
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: Oh no, it seems you can’t hold this thigh.]
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: 4 o'clock... Sorry, I won't hug this thigh! Goodbye!]
Not only did he laugh until his face was paralyzed, but others couldn't help but be shocked by Xia Mo's time.
Some people even tagged her, asking for the secret to staying awake.
Xia Mo was at a loss for words about this. She didn't have the ability to not sleep. She just planned her time reasonably and acted according to the plan every day.
She didn't want to say too much in the guild, but because everyone was chattering and asking questions, she had no choice but to say it.
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: Look at that big guy! He has the ability and is so hardworking and self-disciplined! @GodlikeWings, my friend, I just want to ask you, does it hurt?]
[Latiao Xiaohuahua: He should still be drooling in his sleep...I can't see your message]
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: It’s okay, you’ll see it when he comes online (sly smile.jpg)]
[Knife Hidden in Crotch: I declare Sister Mo my god. From now on, regardless of anything else, I will try my best to match her online time!]
[Laughing until my face is paralyzed: Count me in for the hidden knife, +1]
…
Looking at their oaths, Xia Mo found it interesting from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and shook her head. She quit the guild chat and turned to look at the list that Sala had arranged yesterday.
As she expected, she was assigned to Team 1.
However, what surprised her was that in the entire Team 1, there were only two familiar faces, Qingshui and Salad with Meat Sauce, and the rest were all new members she had never seen before, including [Laughing Until My Face Is Paralyzed] who was always obsessed with who was the first to get up in the guild, the female priest [Latiao Xiaohuahua] who especially liked to tease him, [Knife Hidden in Pants and Crotch] who swore that his time would be the same as hers, and [Bobo Chicken] and [Give You a Little Punch] who had never been seen in person.
Let’s look at the roster of Team 2. Qingshui’s sister Yunyao and Ripe Tomato are both here.
It seems that Qingshui should have made it very clear to Sala that all teams will be divided according to their strength. Even his own sister Yun Yao cannot enter Team 1 based on her connections.
Such a fair personnel arrangement was something the entire guild could find no fault with.
Team 2 is much weaker than Team 1, so Qingshui's requirement for them is naturally not to get the first kill, but to try to stay in the top three. If they really can't maintain it, the top five is also fine.
"Protoss" has additional rewards for the top five teams in the difficult version, but the rewards for the fourth and fifth places are much less than those for the top three.
But it’s better to have something than nothing, so Qingshui kept reminding Team 2 not to take it lightly.
In addition, there is Team 3, which is slightly weaker than Team 2, and is overall worse.
But according to the arrangement, Team 3 did not need to enter the difficult mode. Their combat power was too low, so they could only go to the simple mode. Therefore, the task assigned to Team 3 was to try to get the top three in the simple mode.
It can be said that each team has its own mission and no one is redundant.
At 7:50, the captains of each team led their team members to the entrance of the dungeon.
At that time, in front of the dungeon aperture, all you could see were heads, and players were shouting loudly, some wanted priests, some wanted output, and when you turned to the world channel, it was full of messages about team formation and calling people.
This kind of grand occasion always happens before a copy is opened. Xia Mo deliberately found a corner, not wanting to be squeezed with the crowd.
While she was waiting quietly, suddenly, two pairs of eyes were cast towards her through the crowd.
Xia Mo turned his eyes sharply and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Black Domain, she joined Qingyao and went straight up." The White-Faced Ghost shrugged, his tone rather helpless, "What a pity, it would have been great if she had joined our guild~"
Although the management is a bit strict, it is an inexhaustible resource. As long as she wants, it can be given to her at any time.
Hei Yu Qing Tian glanced at him calmly and said three words: "Not a pity."
"Huh? What do you mean?" The white-faced ghost's eyebrows twitched, confused.
Heiyu Qingtian turned his gaze away from him and instead fixed it on someone not far from her: "Qingshui, the guild leader of Qingyao Zhishang, is quite capable. That day, he single-handedly stopped the entire second team led by you. However, no matter how powerful a person is, he is still just one person. Their guild resources are far inferior to ours. For Mo Se, they will definitely be a burden to her in the long run."
"So what you mean is... she will turn to us for long-term development?!" After understanding what Heiyu Qingtian meant, Baimiangui's eyes lit up.
Heiyu Qingtian hummed.
The White-Faced Ghost suddenly laughed: "Aha, if that's the case, then let her stay in Qingyaozhishang for a while longer. This way, by comparison, she will realize how great our Black Domain Kingdom is!"
Anyway, they are not in a hurry. One day, she will leave Qingyao and go straight up for personal development as Heiyu said. At that time, it will be the time for her to join the guild sincerely.
After understanding this truth, the white-faced ghost withdrew his gaze from Xia Mo.
Xia Mo didn't know what the two were talking about, but since their eyes weren't on him, he didn't ask any further questions.
Her eyes swept around casually, and this time, it was her turn to discover another old acquaintance - Zhuye Zuijiu.
The moment she saw him, he seemed to sense something and noticed her almost at the same time.
He was originally talking to his teammates with a smile, but when he saw her straight gaze, his muscles instantly tensed up.
"Drunk, what's wrong?" Noticing that he looked unwell, the female pastor Xuan Die asked with concern.
After asking, she followed his gaze and the next moment, her whole body trembled as if struck by lightning.
“…It’s, it’s her…!”
When I saw that female devil, what happened in the Black Bear Forest yesterday instantly rushed into my mind.
"She? Who is she?" Someone in the team asked curiously because they didn't know the answer.
After this question, Zhuye Zuijiu and Xuandie's expressions suddenly became even more embarrassed.
The atmosphere was frozen for several seconds before Sparta stepped forward. "Well, everyone, check the potions, items, and equipment durability. If it's low, there's still a chance to change it. Don't tell the president you're out of durability later when we get in."
As soon as he changed the topic, everyone's attention was immediately turned back to him.
Zhuye Zuijiu's expression improved slightly.
But he didn't dare to look into the eyes of the person opposite him, so he simply turned around and pretended not to see.
Xia Mo was too lazy to even look at him. He just glanced at him mockingly and then moved away lightly.
Lingyun Huangtian saw clearly the awkward reactions of Zhuye Zuijiu and others. He and Cuiyan Niao Niao had already heard about what the former had experienced in the Black Bear Forest yesterday.
Although he still had a lot of grudges against her, after a night of calm thinking, Lingyun Huangtian at least figured out one thing - never provoke this Mo Se again.
Anyone who dares to provoke her again will suffer the same fate as Black Bear, Lin Zhuye and the drunken group.
Speaking of provoking, Lingyun Huangtian suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Cuiyan Niao Niao: "Did you ask the administrator to delete that forum post?"
"I deleted it. It disappeared before 12 o'clock last night." Cuiyan Niao Niao replied.
"That's good." Lingyun Huangtian breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time showed a thankful expression, "Luckily, you had sharp eyes and saw that the person taking the photo was one of ours. You also found out that the person taking the photo was Xiaobei, otherwise I would have offended her again this time."
Who is "she" referring to? The answer is self-evident.
Cuiyan nodded: "Yes, what we need to do most now is to keep a low profile and not to conflict with others."
If this sentence had been said in the past, Lingyun Huangtian would have been furious.
However, after experiencing so many defeats and seeing with his own eyes the gap between his guild and others, even Lingyun Huangtian himself was surprised that he could calmly accept Cuiyan's warning.
"It's time to improve our own strength." He expressed his approval frankly, which was rare.
After saying this, he paused deliberately, his eyes vaguely scanning Yao He in the team: "By the way, Cuiyan, you should pay more attention to Yao Hehe recently. He is friends with that Xiao Bei. I kicked him out last night. I don't know what his plans are. If he wants to quit the guild, please help me find a way to keep him. His healing is okay, and I don't want him to leave the guild."
Smoke curled up from the kitchen: "I understand. But what about that female pastor named Sisi Yuyu? If she wants to leave, should we keep her?"
Hearing the sound of rain, Lingyun Huangtian frowned, as if he was in a dilemma.
After a few seconds, he said, "Let's see how she performs in the dungeon today. If she doesn't perform well, she can leave as she pleases."
Yao He and Xiao Yu knew nothing about the conversation between Lingyun Huangtian and Cuiyan Niao Niao.
While waiting to enter the dungeon, the two of them came together, both looking a little unhappy.
"Xiaobei was kicked last night..." Xiaoyu said in a low voice.
Yao He: "I know. I heard about it this morning."
Xiaoyu: "Hey, I know she's been angry lately, talking about wanting to kill Xia Mo every day, but I didn't expect that she would secretly take photos and post them on the forum behind our backs."
Yao He sighed, "It's not the Guild Master's fault. The Guild has been weak lately and is afraid of getting into trouble. Xiao Bei is just walking into trouble."
Seeing that he hadn't talked about what she wanted to hear for a long time, Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, and then she asked, "By the way, did Xiaobei come to see you?"
Yao He was stunned for a moment, as if observing Xiaoyu's expression, and then he said, "I found it. What about you?"
Xiaoyu's brows relaxed immediately: "She also contacted me, but I didn't reply to her."
Yao He looked at her and smiled: "Me too, I don't know how to respond, so I'll just leave it alone for now."
"That's all right then. Xiaobei will find a more suitable guild."
"Yes."
When the dungeon time came, all the teams and individual players stepped into the aperture at the same time. The originally crowded scene was instantly deserted by most of the people.
Xu Xiaobei, who arrived late, watched this scene and looked around.
Suddenly, she saw Xiaoyu and Yao He walking into the circle of light.
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, she waved her hands and was about to shout.
But the next second, two people walked into the copy while talking and laughing, and disappeared before her sight.
Xu Xiaobei was suddenly stunned, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.
She just stared blankly at the aperture of the dungeon, and then at the groups of teams chatting and laughing as they entered the dungeon. At this moment, the pride in her heart completely collapsed.
