Chapter 22



◎If you weren't guilty, why didn't you reply?◎

[Brothers, I heard that Fengyun Tianxia's adventure scroll was stolen last night!]

A message stayed briefly on the world channel for a few seconds before being quickly captured by a group of screen-guarding monsters.

[Which one is the most powerful? ]

[Which other one? That guild with half of its members being priests. They're ranked tenth after all. Why aren't you paying attention to them?]

[Just a quick aside, now the number 10 is Concubine's Smile, and Wind and Cloud has dropped to 12th.]

Oh well, it seems like without Xia Ri Lihua's support, Feng Yun Tian Xia is nothing. Someone's already targeting us.

【How can you be so sure that the scroll is being coveted by someone else? 】

A word floated out faintly, and the world channel suddenly fell into a frozen state.

"President, could it really be her who did it?" Ice Cream turned off the world channel and looked at Baili Xi with blinking eyes.

"I'll check it out." Baili Xi said without comment.

"Things have come to this. President, are you still going to speak up for her? Just because of her contribution to the dragon slaying?" Zi Teng was a little annoyed by Baili Xi's ambiguous tone. "She slayed the dragon for herself, not for us at all."

"Indeed...indeed, she fought against the Dark Storm people that day just to get the adventure scroll. She quit the guild yesterday, so she must have been thinking about the scroll. Maybe she really came to steal it." Ice Cream's voice was not loud, but every word fell into the ears of the onlookers.

"So what are your ideas?" Baili Xi's voice was a little low, but his face remained calm, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.

Ice Cream was so frightened by the atmosphere that he dared not utter a word. Steamed Fish and Baiguo also stood silently behind him without saying anything.

"Why not call her back and ask her face to face?" Zi Teng shook her long purple hair flowing behind her back and snorted coldly.

"But didn't Qingzhengyu say that he sent her several messages? She never replied. If she wasn't guilty, why didn't she reply?" Pastor Sparkling Water suddenly pushed through the crowd and walked out.

He clearly overheard Qing Zhengyu and Baili Xi's comments last night. He said that when the warehouse was robbed last night, he hadn't been able to contact Xia Rilihua all day, and after he quit the club, he completely disappeared.

From this we can see that this alchemist is extremely suspicious!

Bubble Water spoke confidently and told what he had overheard without reservation.

The steamed fish's face turned pale immediately.

"Yu, is what Bubble Water said true?" Zi Teng asked him with her thin eyebrows raised, her long purple hair exuding a hint of coldness.

Even though she is the vice president, in front of Zi Teng, who has a queen-like figure and behaves in an even more queen-like manner, Qingzhengyu is still as timid as a little chicken.

He glanced at Zi Teng timidly and nodded stiffly.

Everyone's heart sank again.

Even if Fengyun Tianxia had trusted her, it could not withstand so many unexpected changes in just one day, and these changes were most likely caused by her.

The atmosphere suddenly became more tense.

Several players who had been unilaterally slaughtered at the resurrection point finally grew dissatisfied and openly questioned Baili Xi in the lobby, "Guild Leader, we tolerated her bringing in Lieyan's men to hunt us down because of her contributions to the guild. But last night, she actually stole the Adventure Scroll! That's a crucial item that affects our guild's reputation and ranking! We absolutely cannot let her get away with it! We're going to get it back right now!"

No matter how big the Xia continent is, they have one person per map, I don’t believe they can’t stop her!

Baili Xi listened quietly without expressing his opinion, only his eyes, with ambiguous meanings, gradually swept over the steamed fish and wisteria.

The emerald-like lake surface reflects the light under the sunlight.

Xia Li rolled over, retrieved Xiaoguai, and gradually approached the coordinates. From a distance, she saw a figure squatting by the lake, with what seemed to be a row of fishing rods directly in front of it.

She walked straight over without exchanging pleasantries and dumped all the unnecessary green and blue clothes in her backpack onto the ground. "Take a look and pick up any that are useful. I'll take the unwanted ones to the trading center and sell them."

Cheng Tianxia raised his head in surprise and bewilderment, staring at her with a pair of panda eyes that looked like they had been up all night: "So many?!"

Forget about ordinary green equipment. Now most players in Miracle have reached level 15, so it is normal to collect a set of green equipment. Even if one or two pieces are missing, you can buy them at the trading center.

But blue equipment is different. He is an equipment master, and out of professional habit he likes to look at other people's equipment on the road. Currently, there are very few players who can wear full blue equipment, but she can actually wear seven or eight pieces of blue equipment with just a flick of her hand!

Seven or eight pieces of ordinary blue equipment without special effects can be sold at a price of at least 80 silver coins each in the trading center.

Cheng Tianxia was shocked, but Xia Li was calm.

This pile of equipment may seem like a lot, but in reality, all of it added up is not as much as the night-colored skeleton armor he made for himself before, so he smiled and said to him, "It's not much, just consider it a down payment."

"Advance payment?" Cheng Tianxia carefully put down one of the fishing rods and stood up.

"Well, I need four pieces of high-sensitivity equipment."

High agility? Cheng Tianxia was confused for a moment. Why would an alchemist choose agility?

Xia Li then added, "It also needs to be light enough."

Cheng Tianxia was even more confused: "Does lightness also matter in games?"

He thought that attributes represented everything, and whether the equipment was light or not was not a necessary option.

Xia Li smiled faintly.

In fact, Cheng Tianxia's understanding is not wrong. Miracle is just a game after all, and the official has not deliberately made a strict distinction between light and heavy armor based on weight. Although the difference between the two looks very significant from the visual effects, the actual feeling of wearing it is not particularly obvious.

However, not being particularly obvious does not mean it is not obvious at all.

The slight difference can still be felt by some high-level players, especially for a player like her who has been playing for almost a year. The difference between switching from a light priest robe to a skeleton armor can be felt even more.

Xia Li briefly explained it to him, and Cheng Tianxia suddenly understood: "I see, that's why I was wondering why these worn-out boots are more comfortable than my new blue suit."

It turns out that it was a minor effect caused by lightness.

He had been puzzled before, but after she explained it, his originally messy thoughts suddenly seemed to have the most crucial clue.

"No problem, master! How long will it take for four pieces of equipment?" Cheng Tianxia's dark circles suddenly lit up as if he had caught some inspiration, and he grinned at her.

"This time it's a bit urgent. Can I have it out in two days?"

"This..." Chengtianxia paused.

Ever since he gave her the Night Skeleton Armor last time, he could only produce one piece of ordinary equipment a day, and sometimes he could barely produce two pieces.

But after he sold the extra equipment to other buyers, he received complaints within less than three days, saying that the durability of his equipment decreased too quickly and was simply inferior.

From then on, he never rushed for success again, but instead advanced his career at the pace of polishing one piece in two days.

But now the other party directly asked for 4 items in two days, and each one had to be highly sensitive. Cheng Tianxia was afraid that he was willing but unable to do so.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Xia Li thought for a moment and changed her tone, "If it's really hard, don't force yourself. Just do as many as you can in the end."

"No! I can do it!" Cheng Tianxia suddenly gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and looked determined. "Even if I don't eat or drink, I will beat out what you want, Great God!"

Sure enough, it was the equipment engineer she knew. No matter how much pressure or difficulty he faced, he would rather lose some skin than give up easily.

"Don't be too tired. Eat a piece of bread first."

Although she admired him, Xia Li was still worried that he was so focused that he didn't even notice his endurance had dropped to the critical point, so she took out two croissants from her backpack.

This was what she had begged Morgan for this thing this morning.

Unlike the ordinary bread she had eaten before, Morgan's croissant can increase 20 points of endurance at one time, 10 points more than ordinary bread and 15 points more than the wild fruit that day. The key is that it tastes great, with a light creamy aroma in the mouth. For her, a child who grew up in the slums, it is simply a delicacy!

Xia Li handed the bread to the other person without hesitation.

"By the way, what are you fishing at the lake?" Xia Li asked him before leaving.

"Oh, fishing for some wobbegong sharks." Cheng Tianxia answered casually, then sat back on the ground and began to guard the rows of fishing rods.

"Are you sure... you can catch something from the sea in a freshwater lake?"

Emerald Lake is the most famous freshwater lake in the Xia continent, and Xia Li remembers this very clearly.

However, Cheng Tianxia was not affected by her words at all. Instead, he nodded excitedly: "Yes, I can catch it!"

Perhaps fearing she wouldn't believe him, he even took out a dead wobbegong from his backpack and said, "Here, look, this is what I just caught before you came."

Xia Li:?

"But it's not your fault that you didn't know. I only found out about this after seeing a message from a friend in the group. Oh, I caught it again!"

As he spoke, a fishing rod in front of him moved. Cheng Tianxia's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the rod and reeled in the line bit by bit.

Xia Li stood by and watched quietly.

Soon, the ripples on the lake surface became more and more, and the creature under the hook seemed to be struggling desperately.

With a splash, a wobbegong shark about 20 centimeters long was hooked out of the lake!

"Look, great god, I didn't lie to you!" Cheng Tianxia grinned, happily grabbed the shark's tail in his hand and shook it in front of her.

He put the wobbegong into his backpack and continued, "My friends in the group said that the fish and shrimp in Emerald Lake all came here through underground rivers. It seems that this is because the level of the Reptile Sea has risen."

Evil Tooth Sea, the sea level is rising.

Xia Li caught the key words in Cheng Tianxia's words.

Recalling the scene seen that night on the Saye Continent, with each shout of the demons, the tide on the shore would surge upwards a little, causing the river to flow back into the lake.

Thinking back to my previous life, it seemed like there were a few equipment technicians who came to the lake to fish for sea fish, but no one paid attention to it at that time.

Xia Li focused her eyes, it seemed that the first large-scale joint public copy of Miracle was about to open.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Tianxia, ​​Xia Li successfully cut down a soapberry tree at the designated location of Emerald Lake. Although she was almost caught by the patrolling guards on the way, fortunately she escaped quickly, otherwise she would have been blacklisted before earning any reputation points.

The guards of the Xia continent all have a blacklist, and most of the people on the list are red-named, cancerous, and players with negative reputation values.

When encountering such a player, the guards can directly capture him and take him to the Royal City Prison. The period of detention depends on the severity of the player's behavior, ranging from one day to one or two weeks.

Xia Li ran back from Emerald Lake to Xiqi's house and knocked on the door.

The door behind the bar creaked open, and a slender white arm stretched out.
