◎Special Two-Player Mission (2)◎
"Hmm? What did you just ask me?"
Looking at Collins, who had no trace of embarrassment and a rather calm expression, Xia Li raised the corners of her mouth politely and mentally attributed this kind of childish dialogue to the needs of the plot.
After all, the other party's favorability towards her has reached its limit, so it's not too much to say some domineering words.
So he cleared his throat and answered Collins' question: "Ah, I said you want to team up with me to do..."
Just as she was about to blurt out the word "mission," Xia Li realized the other party probably didn't understand the game term "mission," so she stopped and quickly changed the subject to, "Do you want me to pick flowers with you?"
Collins: "...picking...flowers?"
There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Xia Li remained calm and composed, "Yes, I'm picking flowers. I want to collect 99 different kinds of flowers."
"You... like flowers?"
Collins' facial expression looked even more puzzled. Xia Li guessed it was because she didn't look like the kind of person who understood romance (沧桑.jpg).
But who cares? As long as we can form a team, that's all that matters. Xia Li thought so, and nodded slightly reluctantly, "Yes, the flowers are so pretty~"
Yue~She just simply wanted to travel and enjoy the scenery.
Collins, however, didn't see through her acting at all. He just thought she really liked flowers, so he nodded very seriously, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Xia Li coaxed and deceived the other party into the team mode, entered the other party's ID into the team list, and ran back to the royal city happily.
"Hi Lillian, I'm here again." Xia Li pushed through the group of players with ease and stood in front of Lillian with a smile.
Lillian looked at her in surprise, and her surprise reached its peak when she saw Collins following behind her.
"You, him, team up?!"
Not sure why the other party was so surprised, Xia Li asked suspiciously: "Yeah, is there a problem?"
There's a problem! There must be a big problem!
Disbelieving glances flickered back and forth between Xia Li and Collins. Finally, Lillian reluctantly said, "He's the demon Saye... and you're human... do you really want to team up with him?"
"I know he's a demon."
Xia Li wanted to say that she was not blind. She had known Collins for a long time. To her, he was just a little kid who had just reached adulthood. Oh, maybe because he had grown up recently, the image of him in her mind had become a little taller and more mature.
In general, he is a simple and easy-going guy, and he is the perfect person to be her teammate.
"Don't worry, he's very well-behaved and obedient. He won't cause trouble." Xia Li said confidently to dispel Lillian's concerns.
Eh! Wrong?!
Xia Li suddenly came to her senses.
"What did you say he was?"
Lillian: "The demons."
"No, the last two words."
Lillian: "Sa...yeah?"
Xia Li's mouth stiffened and her body slowly turned back.
The same black cape, the same dark brown eyes, fair cheeks, pointed chin, and a beauty mark on the left side of her nose. Ten seconds ago, she had shamelessly said that this guy was soft and cute and didn't cause trouble, but ten seconds later, she was told that he had become the king of the demon clan?!
At this moment, I just want to find a crack in the ground to lie down...
After a series of quick and unnoticeable psychological games, the air between the three of them was silent for several seconds. Xia Li took a breath and said, "Oh, it's okay. I'm just making a new contribution to the establishment of diplomatic relations between humans and demons."
Smile.
Lillian: "Okay..."
Hold the parchment in both hands.
[Special two-player mission successfully received. Please follow the instructions to complete the flower collection within the specified time!]
99 different kinds of flowers are spread across the maps from north to south and from west to east. It is no exaggeration to say that with the perseverance to collect all the flowers, players can basically figure out the regional maps under each continent.
This is also a leisure activity specially set up by the official to help players familiarize themselves with the map as soon as possible. Oh, and by the way, you can also pair up with other players, killing two birds with one stone, and everyone is happy.
Collins, as an NPC, can also receive the parchment. When he unfolds the parchment, he can see a list of flowers filled with densely packed continental text. Clicking on the text will further expand the content. Illustrations can also be seen on the expanded secondary page, making it easier for players and NPCs to identify.
"Where are you going first?" Collins glanced at the list and put it in his inner chest pocket.
"The south." Xia Li looked around and found that there were more varieties of flowers in the south because of the warm climate.
"Okay, let's go." Collins said without hesitation and whistled.
While Xia Li was puzzled, she actually saw a huge gray-blue creature with flapping wings flying from the other side of the sky in the distance!
It’s the dragon clan!
Xia Li was stunned. Whether in the previous life or this life, the proud dragon clan, which had only been officially deployed in the crater once, had now become Collins' mount that could be used at any time?
"What on earth is there that I don't know?" She couldn't help but say sarcastically.
Collins looked at her blankly: "What do you want to know? I can tell you everything."
Xia Li curled her lips and said, "Forget it, no need."
It seemed like she was very interested in him.
"But I see you don't seem very happy. Is there something I did wrong?"
I don’t know if Sky Eye fell asleep again when setting up Collins, which made Collins look like a straight man who knows nothing in real life!
Xia Li wanted to say a few more sarcastic words to him, but when she met his sparkling dark brown pupils, her heart softened immediately.
"No, I'm fine." She said casually.
"No, I can feel your emotions. You were unhappy just now."
I wonder if the compatriots in the Demon Continent would be dismayed when they see their great Saye looking aggrieved in front of a human girl?
Xia Li teased in her heart, but continued to perfunctorily say: "Ah, then your feeling may be wrong, I am usually like this."
As he spoke, a flying dragon with a wingspan of at least ten meters descended from the sky. It folded its huge wings, stomped its two claws heavily on the ground, and stirred up countless white air currents around it.
Xia Li looked up at the level of the flying dragon. Wow, it was level 70!
If this were to become a world boss, wouldn't it be more exciting than fighting two rotten elf kings? Wouldn't she spend three days and three nights collecting the loot that dropped?
Unfortunately, I've become Collins' flying mount, so there's no hope of defeating the World Boss. Xia Li's eyes were filled with regret.
Collins, who had no idea that Xia Li was coveting his mount, suddenly hugged her around the waist.
Xia Li:?!
"Sit tight, I'll take you to the southernmost part of the continent."
As he spoke, he held her horizontally and did three jumps. In the blink of an eye, she was pressed on the back of the dragon.
If she wasn't so agile, most people wouldn't have been able to catch his movements.
This guy's level has probably risen a lot, right?
Xia Li sat in the front, hugged by Collins behind her. She muttered to herself while quietly turning back, ready to cast an identification spell to take a look.
The levels of powerful intelligent NPCs like Collins are not open to players. Players can only find out their levels through field PK or by throwing identification spells.
When she first saw him on the Revenge Coast, she hadn't been able to identify his level because her Identify skill wasn't high enough, so she had to guess. Now that her Identify skill had reached level 20, the maximum, identifying Collins's level shouldn't be a problem.
The little hand gently made a throwing motion to the side.
Collins caught her and his voice suddenly became soft: "My level is open to you."
After saying that, Xia Li saw a line of small white words flash above his head - LV.70
Xia Li:?
For a moment, I didn't know whether to sigh that Collins was far above the player's level, or to sigh at what he said after he saw through my little tricks.
"How do you know I...?"
Well, let's ask the latter first.
Collins smiled faintly. "Because you're not the only one who has done this to me. At first I didn't know why you did it, but then I heard from other Terrans that you can see my level this way."
NPCs' self-awareness is also divided into levels.
"I didn't want to reveal my information, so I avoided it every time," Collins continued. Suddenly, his tone became soft and gentle. Xia Li even felt his head touching her right cheek.
"But you are different, and I am willing to share with you."
A soft and moist voice blew into her ears. Xia Li opened her lips slightly, facing the azure wind, and felt an emotion that had never appeared in her life before.
At this time, in the world channel, some players were in an uproar because they discovered a flying dragon.
[There's a giant dragon in the southern mountains! Is this the next World Boss?]
[What level is the world boss? ? ?]
【70! 】
[So high? The stuff that drops is absolutely amazing. I’m going to rush in now, guys.]
[(⊙o⊙) What? I didn’t see the system send a message! ]
[I don’t care whether the system will send it or not, just go there first and see, if you’re late you’ll just be left with nothing.]
[Fighting the Baron 5, missing 3, those who want to go get on the bus]
[We are short of 2 nurses, hurry up! ! ! ! ]
A group of players rushed into a frantic pursuit mode. Those who had mounts got on them, and those who had teleportation arrays opened them. The first group of players with the fastest reactions quickly caught up to the dragon's location.
[IP: 92, 108, 32, the dragon is still moving south, everyone hurry up, or we'll have to cross the sea]
As soon as they heard that the boss was about to fly, the players raised their weapons and attacked without caring about the timing or positioning.
A variety of skills flew towards the sky, and the sound of skills exploding continued to be heard in the air.
The dragon was flying happily in the sky when it was suddenly attacked by a stupid player for no reason. It was furious and stretched its neck to the sky and roared. As its abdomen rose and fell, red poisonous gas spurted out of its mouth in an arc. The range was so wide that the land beneath its feet was quickly covered by the poisonous gas. The players on the ground had no time to activate their protection skills, and their health bars dropped sharply and were directly emptied.
[Holy shit, holy shit, the dragon's breath is even worse than the Rotten Elf King's!]
[Boss, you did a great job. Don't do it next time (lie down)]
You think of fighting a boss: As long as I'm handsome enough, there's nothing I can't handle. In reality, you fight a boss: You get killed a few times in a second, then you cry and get up to adjust your mindset.
Players who had hoped for a beautiful battle lay on the ground in tears, their hearts aching with anger and hatred. They were killed in seconds before they could even fight a few moves. The gaming experience was completely negative! The planner should be dragged out and beaten to death!
However, no matter how much they cursed the planner, their psychological breakdown did not affect their resurrection and continued work!
While continuing to chase the dragon and fight, suddenly, a few sharp-eyed players discovered something.
[Wait! There seem to be two people sitting on the flying dragon?]
[This is so funny! This is the first time I’ve heard of someone riding a boss and flying in the sky.]
[If you don't believe me, just use the props and see for yourself. The boss is huge, and we're at a lower angle, so it's hard to see them. But just now, I ran to the high ground nearby and saw them for sure.]
[What do you mean? Isn't this the boss?]
[No? ? Then why is the planner crazy to let such a huge thing fly in the sky? ]
[Combining the death-level bugs that appeared in the previous miracle, it's true that the planner is sick. Light a cigarette.]
[Don't get off topic, can this thing actually be used? I don't want to be carried away by bad breath again.]
Players were discussing and analyzing the situation in the world, but no one could come to a conclusion, and the situation became tense for a while.
Until an unwilling male player tore up the rare item Flying Scroll with tears in his eyes, and flew towards the flying dragon in front of everyone.
Then the defense was broken in an instant!
[The one sitting there is a summer pear blossom! ! ! ]
[She's hugging a male NPC she's never seen before!]
[Family, this is my mount! TT]
All players who thought they had caught the boss and attempted to create a personal record: silence.
The silence was followed by a torrent of verbal abuse.
[Who the hell said this belongs to the boss?! Stand up, or I'll chop you to death!]
[Don't be so rude. By the way, can the guy above take a picture of the male NPC? (color.jpg)]
While I was still dancing with joy over catching a flamingo, the big guys were already traveling the world on a level 70 dragon. I'm sorry, poverty has limited my imagination (crying loudly.jpg)
[I admit that my posture when killing the dragon was very cool, but the moment I found out that it was someone else's mount, I burst into tears as a noob.]
Xia Li, who had been sitting on the dragon's back and quietly watching the players perform, couldn't think of anything to say, so she just said, "Your dragon is really tough."
Collins thought she was dissatisfied with the noise below, which ruined her mood for enjoying the scenery, so he frowned and gave Feilong an order.
The flying dragon flapped its wings vigorously, and the wings rolled up a hurricane. They soared straight up under the support of the wind, leaving a group of players on the ground with tears of envy.
The giant flying dragon flew all the way from the royal city to the southern Rose Continent, attracting the players' attention along the way, although this was not Xia Li's original intention =_=
This was her first time in Rose. When she opened the map, she could see that the number of mountains and hills here was far greater than that of the Xia continent, and the plains were scarce, so it was not a place suitable for land reclamation.
But it's clear that players are adapting well.
Walking from the edge of the continent to the center, Xia Li discovered many villages along the way. Players kept coming in and out of those villages, and they seemed to be very knowledgeable.
Thinking of Yu Ziteng who was forced to be exiled here, Xia Li felt a little relieved.
After collecting nearly thirty kinds of flowers on the Rose Continent and resting for a while, the flying dragon took Xia Li to the next place - the Saye Continent.
"I'm familiar with the Saye Continent. Just sit on the flying dragon and wait for me for five minutes."
Xia Li was about to get off the ground when Collins stopped her sincerely.
"Okay, you said 5 minutes. If it's over, I'll get down by myself." She sat on the dragon's back and said while swinging her legs.
Collins smiled indulgently, turned around and plunged into the woods, disappearing.
The 5-minute countdown is neither fast nor slow.
When she counted to the last 10 seconds, Xia Li saw that there was no movement on the other side of the woods, so she prepared to land and look for it herself.
Unexpectedly, as she turned sideways, she saw a black shadow flash in front of her like the wind.
Collins obediently held more than twenty kinds of flowers and handed them to her: "I have collected them."
Xia Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to rush me like that."
Collins shook his head. "I'm not in a hurry. I just made an appointment with Doug and the others on the way here. They will hand over the collected items to me as soon as we arrive."
Xia Li: In the past, other people always hugged her thighs, but today was her first time hugging someone else's thighs. How should I put it? Although it seems a bit like she's a gigolo, it feels really good! ~
So in the second half, Xia Li simply lay down and let Collins command the dragon to fly all over the world.
Since everyone assumed that the flying dragon was hers, she might as well act like a big shot.
So, with Collins' assistance, Xia Li only spent less than 4 hours from start to finish on the 3-day time limit task set by Lillian, which was quite an impressive efficiency.
Looking at Xia Li who was clearly running but seemed not to have run on the world map, the lovely Lillian fell into autism.
This was her carefully planned flower collection event! How could this girl take it all away in one fell swoop?
However, as a professional NPC, Lillian quickly regained her composure. She adorably spun around, her hands posing like a cute cat, and said, "Congratulations, Summer Pear Blossom, for successfully completing the special two-player mission. The prize has been distributed to your personal fuel tank. Also, this is the petal that binds you and Collins. Take it to the Bonding Tree, and the Bonding Elder will tell you what to do next."
Oh, it's not a forced bond. It seems she misunderstood before...
Xia Li took the petal of fate, which was a light pink heart-shaped petal. When she put it under her nose, she could smell the refreshing floral fragrance.
Collins watched her take the petals from her palm and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Nothing, just an ordinary souvenir." Xia Li skillfully started to deceive people.
Collins murmured, looked down, and said nothing.
