"Ugh, the sun is so bright." Liu Nian turned over, intending to go back to sleep.
I accidentally touched the wound on my left eye, and a few seconds later I woke up grimacing in pain.
The vampires were sleeping right next to him, but they're innocent, you have to believe me!
After hurriedly pushing aside the crowd of summoned creatures watching, he walked to the mirror.
Thankfully, there was no bleeding.
The mirror reflected an empty eye socket.
We don't cherish things when they exist, and we only regret it when we lose them. This is exactly what we're talking about now.
However, Liu Nian had no time to grieve; she had other things to attend to.
(Should I wear a one-eyed eyepatch? Like the old Pirates of the Caribbean ones.)
The past cannot be retrieved, cherish what you have now, and be a cheerful necromancer.
I have no magic points or soul power today, so I'll go and take on a relatively simple task later.
But right now, the most important thing is to open treasure chests!
Liu Nian spread the golden treasure chest out on the table and reached for it.
[Open the world-class golden treasure chest]
[As this week's champion, you have earned 200 reputation points.]
Book of the Dead (Purple Quality) (Main Hand)
Intermediate Dark Magic
[Summon Bone Horse (Dark Mage Exclusive) (Skill Book)]
2,368 crowns
[Summon Bone Horse (Special Summon)]: Summons a bone horse as a means of transportation (upgradeable).
He woke up to find that the mana he had replenished was just enough to summon a bone horse, and glancing at the panel made him feel great.
What? You mean a basic magic potion?
There was only one bottle of mana potion, and the miser was too stingy to drink it.
[Intermediate Dark Magic]: Allows you to learn fourth-order dark magic, but you need to learn basic dark magic as a prerequisite.
Another magic book that can be used directly, not bad.
[Book of the Dead] (Universal for Dark Mages)
Attack power: 1-3 Magic attack power: 6-9
Effect 1: Increases shadow magic power by 50%.
Effect 2: Dark magic skill effects +1
Effect 3: Summon five skeleton warriors and five skeleton archers (limited to once per day; this effect has no cost and ignores summoning level restrictions; the quality of the skeletons depends on the summoned skeleton level, and if there is no summoning level, it will always be considered level five.)
As expected of a purple-quality item, it has three special effects.
If you take magical attack power into account, Liu Nian can now instantly kill someone with Death Ripple.
Before leaving, Liu Nian noticed that the receptionist had been replaced.
With no time to pay attention to others, he went out and summoned his Bone Horse. With the effect of the Book of the Dead, the Bone Horse was directly upgraded to level 2.
Liu Nianke had never ridden a horse before, and she mounted it with some trepidation.
The moment he mounted the horse, the ghost horse let out a neigh and galloped away.
Liu Nian was startled when the undead horse suddenly left.
Watching the buildings rush past, Liu Nian forced herself to calm down.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: the raven, which was also a special unit. He quickly enveloped the undead horse with his consciousness.
Sure enough, the undead horse immediately slowed down and began to run in the direction Liu Nian pointed out.
Seeing this, Liu Nian finally felt relieved.
There's a wall right in front of us; if we run a few more steps, we'll definitely crash into it.
After regaining his senses, he calculated that the speed of a level 2 horse was roughly equivalent to that of a motorcycle at 80 miles per hour.
However, this horse can communicate with Liu Nian through thought, or it can automatically navigate to a location that Liu Nian knows.
This was much more convenient than riding a motorcycle. Liu Nian set his destination as the market area and let it roam freely.
In the future, as long as there are enough maps, I can easily guide it to move freely. Just thinking about it is awesome.
Moreover, this is a ghost horse, so there's no need to worry about fuel costs or breaking down.
The market area was reached in no time. Remembering that I still needed to buy some things, I decided to buy a few outfits before going to the hospital.
After quickly buying a few sets of clothes, Liu Nian headed to the hospital.
Passersby on the street couldn't help but look at Liu Nian with envy.
The hospital was bustling with people again, overcrowded due to the recent riots.
This time, it just so happened that Wu Qiong was the one who treated his back injury in the Suibian Xingfu residential area.
She looks well; it seems she's doing alright.
Lying in the hospital bed, watching the doctor carefully shining a flashlight on her, Liu Nian drifted off into thought.
After watching for several minutes, Wu Qiong carefully told Liu Nian after taking off her mask: "Unfortunately, the current treatment methods cannot restore his vision, but the good news is that the wound is healthy and will not worsen his pain."
Although she had no hope, Liu Nian's heart still tightened when she heard the doctor's words.
Wu Qiong skillfully applied gauze to Liu Nian's left eye and apologized before Liu Nian left.
"Why are you apologizing? It wasn't you who did it!" Liu Nian was stunned and blurted out.
"I'm sorry there's no way to restore you to normal," Wu Qiong explained patiently.
"It's alright, what goes around comes around!"
Riding the bone horse, Liu Nian set the location to the Adventurer's Hall, and the bone horse moved forward at a leisurely pace according to the speed Liu Nian had set.
He took out a wild boar tenderloin from the space and sandwiched it with bread, mixing breakfast and lunch together. He ate as he walked, and when he finished, he arrived at the Adventurer's Hall.
He retracted the bone horse into the dark space, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, and walked into the hall.
After being hit by both the zombie horde and the riot, everyone remaining in the hall was injured.
After declining everyone's invitation to team up, Liu Nian walked up to the customer service representative.
The rewards for all the tasks were disappointing, and Liu Nian flipped through the pages one by one.
Suddenly I saw an E-rank raid quest.
"This one will do," Liu Nian said to customer service, pointing to the task.
"Are you sure you want to accept the mission to hunt down the gnolls?" the customer service representative asked with a smile.
"Yes."
After hearing the task issued by customer service, the once bustling lobby suddenly became quiet.
Everyone watched Liu Nian leave with eyes full of concern for people with intellectual disabilities.
"Another team is going to their deaths because they're being foolish. Should we go and try to persuade them?" one of them said regretfully, thinking Liu Nian was part of a team.
“You can’t reason with a damned ghost. Why bother with him? What if he thinks you have ulterior motives?” another person next to him retorted.
"This..." He wanted to speak, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
"It's not a big deal if your eyes are blind, but it's terrible if your heart is blind too." Not everyone is so gentle, and this kind of person is quite common.
"Exactly, it's good to die early and be reborn sooner."
"I thought he was a master, but he turned out to be a fool."
"I wasted my breath inviting him to team up just now, what a waste of breath."
"Which group of people has accepted this mission?"
"I remember there were five groups of people. Only one team consisted entirely of beginners, the rest were led by professionals, and there was another team entirely composed of professionals, but none of them came back." A person known as the all-knowing member of the World Society said with certainty after flipping through his notes.
"Do you think the One-Eyed Dragon's team will be able to return safely?"
"I bet five hundred crowns he won't come back. Open the betting!"
"I bet 300 and I won't win."
"two hundred."
“…”
After Liu Nian left, the hall became lively again, with the group waiting to recruit teammates while placing bets on the matter.
They considered it a suicidal mission because the target was Hogg the gnoll, at whose hands countless people had died.
