Chapter 170
The high-level NPCs in the Ten Thousand Worlds are not independent of the world, especially Dilina, an expert that Ye Bai "recruited" from a magic main city. Her circle of friends and network also include many high-level professionals.
However, the territory was not high enough before. Even though Dilina herself was willing to work here to fulfill her personal dream, the senior professionals in her circle still looked down on a player town.
Now that the territory has been upgraded to a city and obtained high-level resources from the dungeon resource points, it has attracted a large number of nobles to reside there.
The friend Webster that Dilina mentioned was one of them. He was a jeweler, a high-end jeweler, and an earth magician. He was also a noble from Melo City, and the first two identities had a lot of intersections with Dilina's high-end clothing store in Melo City.
"Webster's biggest worry is his daughter, Claire," Dilina explained to Ye Bai in detail. "Claire is also a gifted jeweler, even more talented than her father, Webster. However, during one of her crafts, she accidentally handled a magic source stone. She initially thought it was rare based on its size, but it turned out to be a legendary magic source stone. She was injured by the power within, leaving her disabled."
"After the accident, not only was Claire unable to pursue her beloved career due to her disability, but the cursed power of the magic source stone has been eroding her body ever since."
Ye Bai suddenly realized that this was the reason why professionals also needed to improve their personal levels. In a fantasy world, if one's personal strength was not enough, one would not be able to handle various high-level raw materials. Some raw materials might even cause harm to the maker during the processing process, especially in the production of high-level props.
The magic source stone mentioned by Dilina is a high-energy gem that can be made into accessories that increase attack effects. Rare-grade stones have powerful energy, not to mention legendary-grade stones. The subsequent curse derived from the material is actually similar to a kind of radiation, which will continue to bring negative effects. Only by finding the right method can it be cleared.
"During this time, Webster tried various methods, but they could only temporarily alleviate Claire's pain. To completely remove the curse, one would need a top-tier profession proficient in healing... and top-tier professionals are elusive, especially those in the healing profession."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai nodded. The NPCs and monsters in the Ten Thousand Realms are generally lower than those in the God Realm. The strongest top-level profession is level 80. After reaching the top level, they will gain additional combat power bonuses based on their respective expertise. In terms of overall strength, they are weaker than demigods, but stronger than players of the same level who have not changed their professions.
There are not many such high-level NPCs in the Ten Thousand Worlds, and each of them is a big shot of extraordinary status. Even if Webster is a chain jewelry merchant, he may not be able to hire a corresponding strong person.
After hearing this, Ye Bai roughly understood the solution to this personal task. The direction must be the traditional network route, to find a top-level professional with expertise in healing, first meet the other party's conditions, and then ask him to treat Claire.
However, if Ye Bai wants to take the traditional mission route, he is not the one. After the two personal missions of Dilina and Felix, it has been fully demonstrated that personal missions can be "flexible", especially since Claire still needs healing.
Ye Bai's eyes moved, and he asked, "Has Lucy learned about Claire's situation?"
Dilina nodded as if she had expected it. "Lucy has looked into it. She said that it might be possible if it contained ingredients with strong vitality, but none of the ingredients she knows of can do it."
This is the lord's advantage. Because of Lucy and the potion room, there is more than one solution to this task. If you find the materials Lucy needs, you can also complete it.
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
Ye Bai smiled when she heard that. Speaking of vitality, she had just come into contact with the most powerful healing item in the entire game.
"Lord, you really have a solution?!" Dilina said in surprise when she saw this.
"Let's give it a try. There should be a good chance." Ye Bai didn't know what the historical tour of 'Game to Game' was like, so he didn't say anything specific. "But you need to give me some time."
"Of course." Dilina reminded: "Then I will go to the Webster family and invite them to stay here for a while longer."
After she finished speaking, the apprentice took out the materials. After Dilina told Ye Bai about the villa rented by the Webster family, she immediately said goodbye to her and left the warehouse area in a hurry.
Ye Bai looked at her back and nodded with satisfaction. Although it shouldn't take long to solve the problem, Dilina had already learned some of her fraud... no, the essence of credit skills.
After leaving the warehouse area and looking at the sky, Ye Bai came to the void capture device. The time spent on this trip to the Divine Realm was just enough to complete the capture of a new void rift.
There is nothing much to say, there is no reason not to farm resource points.
Taking the newly generated copy key, Ye Bai asked a lord's guard next to him to notify Felix and Blaise. When Ye Bai walked to the familiar barracks, the two were already waiting there excitedly.
"Let's go and try to be back before dinner."
After clicking on forty-nine people again, a space crack opened up and everyone entered the dungeon.
In the past, he could easily lead the experienced babies to clear the dungeon, not to mention the trip to the divine realm. Ye Bai's strength has increased again. With his current health and resistance, he can directly be the MT in the front and take the damage from the BOSS.
Just as he said before entering, before dinner, Ye Bai led a group of soldiers whose levels were upgraded to 55 to 60 to pass the dungeon.
Felix's level was raised to 68 this time, while Blaise was still at level 60. Ye Bai continued to bring Blaise with her because she had not forgotten this captain of the personal guard who had loyally followed her in the early days.
For NPCs who have learned extraordinary knowledge, even if their levels seem to no longer grow, their experience points still exist. By continuing to accumulate excess experience points and learn, there is a chance that they can break through the limits of their own potential.
[You have successfully occupied this void rift. A new resource point (alchemy) has been added to White Night City!]
Along with the prompt, the territory score and the number of resource points of Bai Ye City on the lord ranking list increased again. Seeing this situation, most of the interstellar civilizations have become accustomed to it and thought - Oh, there is indeed information that Bai Ye has appeared in the territory again.
Nothing happened that night, and the next day came in a flash.
Ye Bai did not forget the task assigned by the jeweler Webster, and went to the potion room to find Lucy. Unexpectedly, her apprentice told him that Lucy had gone to see a nobleman.
So Ye Bai turned and went to the address of the Webster family left by Dilina.
The Webster family was one of the nobles who came to live in White Night City. They rented a high-end villa area in the territory that was specially planned for the nobles to live in. The scenery in this villa area was very beautiful, with wide roads, neat street lights, large gardens, and quiet and beautiful roads. There were also wildebeest carriages to pick up the residents and take them to various places in the territory.
Many nobles who were taking a walk saw Ye Bai and came forward to greet him with a polite smile.
This is not simply because Ye Bai is the lord of Baiye City, but because her various identities and titles, as well as her own third-level strength, are at the top of this continent. Even if she goes to a main city and faces the most respected bigwigs there, they will never look down on her.
Ye Bai walked all the way to the garden villa where the Webster family lived, and just saw Lucy being sent out of the villa by a middle-aged couple.
"Pharmacist Lucy, thank you for the potion. Claire hasn't had such a relaxing rest in a long time."
"Lucy? You're here too?"
It turned out that the noble family that the apprentice mentioned Lucy was treating was the Webster family. But it was normal to think about it. After all, there were not many illnesses in White Night City that needed to be personally treated by Lucy, the strongest pharmacist in the territory.
"Lord!" Lucy greeted Ye Bai with surprise the moment she saw him. Then she realized why he was here. "Ms. Dilina told me yesterday that you were here to learn about Claire's situation?"
"You happen to be here." Ye Bai smiled and nodded, then looked at the middle-aged couple dressed like aristocrats.
The other party had already heard Lucy's address and understood Ye Bai's identity. The couple looked at each other with anticipation. The middle-aged man immediately said, "Hello, Lord Mayor, I am Webster. Forgive my intrusion. I heard from Dilina that you might have a way to resolve Claire's curse. Is this true?"
Ye Bai didn't wait for the two to throw out the task, and said first: "Is it convenient now? I'll go check on Claire first."
Webster hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied, "Of course. Claire just fell asleep. Do we need to wake her?"
"No need." Ye Bai waved his hand. From what she had heard from the conversation between the two and Lucy, she knew that the patient must have been suffering from the pain for a long time and finally fell asleep. Her assessment of the situation was just an "identification".
The four of them came to the back garden of the villa together. On the rocking chair, a pretty brown-haired girl was sleeping soundly. Her slender and beautiful hands were folded at her waist, with a layer of purple veins extending on them, causing her hands to be slightly twisted.
Seeing Ye Bai's gaze on Claire's hands, Webster's face was heavy and painful. After leaving the rocking chair, he spoke, "Claire was so young and should have become a jewelry master. This is all my fault. I didn't recognize the powerful energy contained in the magic source stone and gave it to Claire as a birthday present."
At this point, Mrs. Webster's eyes turned red, she let go of her husband's arm and turned her head away sadly.
The daughter forgave her husband, but she did not forgive him completely. Whenever the matter was mentioned, Mrs. Webster, as Claire's mother, still couldn't help but blame her husband.
Ye Bai, who had already examined Claire's situation, said, "I should have a way."
Lucy immediately said without a doubt: "Great!"
The Websters couldn't believe it: "Lord City Lord, do you really have a way to dispel Claire's curse?"
[Jeweler 'Webster' issues you a personal quest 'Dispel the Curse'. Do you accept it?]
【yes】
[New quest 'Dispel the Curse']
Mission Description: Mr. and Mrs. Webster hope that you can dispel the curse of the magic source stone on their daughter Claire and restore her to full health.
Mission Reward: Unknown
Mission time limit: 365 days
"You need to wait until I get the stuff to treat her." Ye Bai said after taking on the task.
"Of course, I've waited all this time." Webster nodded in understanding, then couldn't help asking, "But I'm not rushing you. Please understand my feelings. Can I have a specific time?"
The couple has already planned to stay in White Night City for a while.
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai replied, "Ten..."
"Ten days?" Mr. and Mrs. Webster speculated excitedly, then thought it over and decided it was unlikely. They asked, "Ten months?"
If it takes ten years, then... can Claire's body wait?
Then Ye Bai continued to count: "Nine, eight, seven... three, two, one."
After the ten-second countdown, the 24-hour cooling-off period of the historical tour is over.
Under the incredulous gaze of the Websters, Ye Bai made a scooping gesture towards the void, and the next moment, a life fruit as emerald as jade appeared in her hand.
"I got it."
