Summoner, he is never alone

It was getting dark, and Ye Xu didn't care about talking to the shopkeeper. In the real world, it was time for the family to eat together, so he had to log off.So after selling the herbs in the package to the shopkeeper, he found a place to go offline.

The brothers obviously knew about Ye Xu's fame in the forum, but they didn't mention it, but told Ye Xu to be careful not to reveal the game ID, so that no one would trouble him.After dinner, Ye Xu couldn't wait to go online. He also wanted to see if there would be clues related to the mission tonight.

Because of the batch of herbs he brought earlier, the shopkeeper became more and more enthusiastic about Ye Xu.The purchase price he gave was actually not high, but Ye Xu was not short of money, so he didn't bother with him at all, and just asked him to give a few special potions as compensation.

This is a lot of money, the owner of the potion is not made by himself, although it is very expensive to sell, but the actual value is only the copper coins of the cost price.He earned blood by exchanging several bottles of potion for several groups of herbs.

Taking advantage of Ye Xu so much, when Ye Xu asked about the camp again, he wouldn't be able to fool people.Seeing that Ye Xu was interested in the adventure stories of the past, he happily pulled Ye Xu to eat barbecue around the fire, and by the way, the past years in the 818 Rose Camp.

In a place like them, the most indispensable thing is the stories of all kinds of adventurers.

For example, whoever entered the forest for a huge bounty task, but still failed to complete the narrow escape.But before leaving, a small medicinal herb that I picked up by chance was taken back, but it was found to be worth a thousand gold.

Another example is that whoever finds out that his enemy is going to venture into the forest, deliberately rushes to set up traps in advance, and finally kills all the enemies inside.It's a pity that after coming out, he was too embarrassing, and was found by the relatives and friends of the enemy, who blocked him in the forest and hacked him to death.

Ye Xu listened with gusto, the lives of these NPCs are quite rich.These stories are background stories automatically generated by the mastermind, and they never actually happened. After all, the NPCs were still on standby before the server was launched, and the entire game world was basically banned.

However, what Ye Xu wanted to know about Saiyan was different.The time when Saiyan went to Rose Camp should be when the server just started, and then he went home for a few days and found that something was wrong.Because the time was short, his father Corey hadn't found a suitable person to help with the investigation, so it was Ye Xu's turn to pick up the task, otherwise he would have been picked up by others.

Ye Xu chatted with the shopkeeper more and more happily, and the relationship quickly heated up.When the moon was in mid-heaven, Ye Xu felt that the time was almost up, so he asked in a low voice, "Oh, did you hear something?"

His mysterious attitude immediately aroused the interest of the shopkeeper: "What?"

At this time, the store owner had already drunk himself from the barbecue and wine, and just now he couldn't help telling Ye Xu that the aborigine next door to his house would secretly meet the widow at the other end of the camp at night.Obviously, he is very deceitful at the moment, and his mouth is very loose. If you want to ask anything, you must take this opportunity to ask it quickly.

"I also heard it from others. I don't know if it's true or not, so don't tell it." Ye Xu deliberately teased him, and did not tell the whole story directly.

This made the store very anxious, people who drank had no patience, so he wished Ye Xu could speak quickly.It's best to be able to speak clearly in one sentence, don't hesitate, and say "it's a long story at this time".

Ye Xu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said directly: "I heard people say that an adventurer came to the Rose Camp to look for rare herbs a few days ago, but he couldn't find it. After staying for a few nights, something went wrong when he went back. It is said that the whole person looked Some are in a daze, as if their brains are broken."

He exaggerated the matter, so that it fits the characteristics of rumors.Generally, such rumors become more and more exaggerated as they spread, which is the same as three people becoming a tiger.If the gossip he gave sounded too mediocre, it would be unattractive.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper slapped his thigh when he heard this: "Which guy passed it on? It's too exaggerated! I've seen people who came to our camp and became a little bit stupefied when they went back, but it's just a little bit, it's not eye-catching at all. .Being stupid and stupid, and not losing your soul, some people believe it.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Ye Xu was his benefactor's father, and quickly corrected himself: "Actually, outsiders like you who don't know the situation can be forgiven for believing such nonsense. I heard that there are really such powerful things out there that can It makes people stupid. But small places like ours don’t exist anymore, and it’s not as powerful as the outside.”

Ye Xu waved his hand nonchalantly, and asked enthusiastically: "Does this really happen? Tell me what's going on, I'm so curious. You don't know, that guy who became stupid is just like me." I took this herbal medicine task, which made me a little afraid that I would become like him."

"Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal." The shopkeeper understood him very well, and he didn't laugh at him for being timid, but explained it kindly, "Actually, we don't really know why it happened like this. There are a few people who have experienced such symptoms. Some are adventurers, some are camp villagers, but without exception, they all recovered after ten days without any sequelae."

He explained the situation of those people in detail. It is said that the people who had this situation entered the forest alone that day.After they came out, everyone found that something was wrong with them, and they didn't know exactly when this situation happened, and what happened before it happened.

Once the ten days are up, all will be fully healed.For them, the previous ten days were like a dream. It was a wonderful feeling, as if their souls were separated by a glass cover, but on the tenth day the cover was broken, and their witty brains finally came to light and were no longer dull.

"We also asked them where they went before the accident and what they encountered. Unfortunately, everyone can't remember it. They all said that they seemed to have encountered a snake, but they don't know what kind of snake it looks like." The shopkeeper said regretfully, He was quite curious about why this disease occurred, but it was a pity that no one could answer it after so many years.

When Ye Xu heard "snake", his first reaction was Raisman snake.That large group of densely packed snakes is so existential, Ye Xu can still recall the scene that could make a patient with trypophobia die on the spot.

It's really hard to say if this snake is a living thing, Ye Xu suspects that it might be a summoned creature.Fallen mages who can summon undead are essentially summoners, and many of them can summon all kinds of strange dark creatures, such as hell three-headed dogs, undead knights and the like.

Although Raisman is dead, since he can leave so many resurrection formations to do things after his death, it is not impossible to leave a bunch of summoning snakes behind.This can also explain why the snake will not explode equipment and gold coins. The summoned creature does not drop itself when it dies. It is good to give you experience.And the fact that the corpses are refreshed so quickly is also a major feature of summoned creatures.

There are many kinds of snakes in the forest. It stands to reason that Ye Xu shouldn't associate it with the Raisman snake, but it's too coincidental.Moreover, Raisman is a necromancer, and his summoned creatures are also necromancer creatures, with some strange negative effects that are unknown.

Ye Xu speculated that the people who got caught in the trick might have encountered a group of snakes by chance, but when they killed the snakes, they were infected by the curse or death energy on the snakes, which finally caused them to become unresponsive.This mild curse was akin to mild poisoning, and Cory wouldn't be so sullen if he hadn't found the toxin in his son.The known is not scary, people are afraid of the unknown.

"Since it can be done in ten days, then I can rest assured." Ye Xu pretended to be relieved, coaxed the shopkeeper, and then asked some other gossip about the camp, lest the shopkeeper realize that he was just rushing. With a strange disease.

The owner chatted more and more happily, and kept drinking heavily.Before, he drank while eating barbecue, but now that the meat was finished, he started drinking like crazy, so he was completely drunk after a while.Ye Xu sent him back to the store and closed the door for him, and he also used the return stone to return to the small town.

There is no need to stay here to investigate anymore, he probably already knows the truth.As for whether his conjecture is 100% true to the facts, you can see how many task rewards Corey gives.He remembered that this task was scored and rewarded according to the degree of completion, and the system scoring was the best reference.

But Corey gave him another series of missions, Ye Xu didn't go directly to him after returning to the city.

He still remembered Mo Bei's miserable situation before, because he couldn't resist eating a bowl of supper noodles at night, and was forced to stay up for a whole page to finish the time-limited task.Ye Xu would never do such a stupid thing, it was already late, he wanted to sleep.

After staying up until 12 o'clock today, Ye Xu inevitably got up late the next day.

If he doesn't go to bed after 12 o'clock, he will have trouble getting up in the morning, mainly depending on his sleep status in recent days.It’s okay if you only go to bed late once in a while, but if you go to bed late all the time for a few days, it will be very uncomfortable in the morning.

After waking up to see the time at ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Xu was still a little dazed, he didn't expect that it was already half morning when he woke up.After washing up and eating breakfast, Ye Xu thought he didn't have to eat lunch.

But after thinking about it, he really hasn't had lunch for several days.I have been soaking in the game, relying entirely on nutrient solution instead of lunch to provide energy for the body.

He stretched himself and climbed into the game cabin, thinking that after the busy period when the server just started, he must help his brothers to have three meals on time.The lunch made by the chef at home is so delicious, it would be a pity not to eat it, and the nutrient solution is tasteless, so it is not comfortable to eat.

After going online, he appeared in the house he rented. Last night, he used the return stone to go back to the small courtyard, and then went offline without having time to enter the house to find a bed.Fortunately, game characters don't need to sleep in beds. Because of this, many players regard buying a house in the game as a lot of money, and it's a fool's job.

Ye Xu didn't think it was a big deal, and he was not short of this kind of rent. He was willing to rent a house for himself and it didn't matter to anyone else.

It is not so convenient for him to live in a villa area, and there is no food street around.Renting a yard with a good environment in the game will not prevent him from following variety shows and reading novels, and he can also go shopping and taste various delicacies with Tangtang instead of walking.

How can salted fish in reality be as cool as salted fish in games?It's fun to have everything you want in the game, and the happiness of living in a small courtyard is something that those people can't even imagine.

For example, now, Ye Xu is too lazy to take the initiative to find the NPC to hand in the task.It's not him who is anxious to get angry, can't Corey come to visit him personally for his precious son?

So Ye Xu moved a rocking chair and placed it in the picturesque yard, laying down under the shade of a tree and rocking leisurely.The kid in the neighbor's house who was running around all day long was stopped by him, and he exchanged a bag of candy for the kid to agree to help him pass the message to Corey, so Ye Xu could wait for someone to come to the door with peace of mind.

Corey was really in a hurry. Hearing that Ye Xu was looking for him, he hurried over after getting rid of his friend to help watch the boat.Ye Xu got up from the rocking chair when he heard footsteps, and sat down on the edge of the stone table in the yard.

Don't let Corey feel that he is leisurely, otherwise the old father who is anxious about his son may be dissatisfied.So Ye Xu pretended to be serious, and let the messy hair of the rocking chair stick up like this, and there were beads of sweat from the sun on his forehead-after all, there is no shade on the side of the stone table. Direct shot - it looks like he just came back from outside the city.

Corey didn't suspect that Ye Xu was being lazy at all, he didn't even know that Ye Xu actually came back last night.Seeing Ye Xu, before he had time to exchange greetings, he asked eagerly, "How is it? Has it been detected? Can Saiyan be rescued?!"

"The investigation came out." Ye Xu raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "Sit down first and drink some water."

Then he took out two glasses of fruit juice, and took a big gulp first, because he was actually thirsty.

Corey didn't waste time trying to be polite to him, he drank it in one gulp, then stared at Ye Xu eagerly, beckoning him to speak quickly.

"I found the evil snakes left by the Necromancer in the forest next to the Rose Camp." Ye Xu organized his words to blur the existence of Lesman, "The adventurers in the Rose Camp said that these snakes were cursed, People who have been bitten by it, or those who have been in contact with them for too long, may be cursed. There have also been adventurers and the aborigines of the Rose Camp who have experienced the same situation as Saiyan, and they all have Healed after ten days."

Ye Xu deliberately said that the adventurer told him the clues, because Corey was prejudiced against the people in the Rose Camp.Cory wouldn't necessarily believe him if he said the natives of Camp Rose had told him.After all, there are still five or six days before the ten-day deadline. It is not easy for Corey to wait quietly for five or six days. For a father who is eager to love his son, he cannot accept any slight danger.

He might think, what if Corey is still not well after ten days?What if Cory didn't have an accident because of these snakes?What if Camp Rose deliberately lied to them, and missed Saiyan's best treatment period in these ten days, making Saiyan unable to recover?

There were too many possibilities for Cory to afford to bet on.At that time, he might rather take Corey to other places to find help from pastors and pharmacists than wait quietly—and think that Ye Xu didn't try his best to help him investigate the situation, but easily believed the unilateral claims of Camp Rose. He was an untrustworthy reckless boy, so he withdrew Ye Xu's mission reward.

Even if it is confirmed five days later that what Ye Xu said is true, Ye Xu will have already reached level 10 by then, who cares about the little rewards that a quest at level [-] will give him later?The same reward is only valuable in the early stage of the game, and it is dispensable after the first level is high.

In order to avoid extravagance, Ye Xu didn't tell the truth.Anyway, he was [-]% sure that the shopkeeper hadn't lied to him, and the remaining [-]% risk was nothing to do.

He couldn't spend two or three days in the Rose camp for a mission, finding a good relationship with several NPCs, just to prove the authenticity of a certain news, right?With this skill, he might as well give up Saiyan's mission and come back to do something else, the income will definitely be several times higher.

Corey didn't know Ye Xu's little plan. He was still a little worried after hearing the news, but he was relieved a lot after all.At least he only fights that Saiyan isn't the only one with this and everyone else is healed.

Seeing this, Ye Xu strikes while the iron is hot: "According to my speculation, he is likely to be under a slight undead curse. If you are worried, why not go to the priests of the temple, they have the ability to dispel curses, and maybe they can fight against Sai Ya produced help to get him better sooner."

If even the pastor can't do anything, then Ye Xu can't do anything either.At least take Saiyan to see the pastor's words, just in case, and wirelessly reduce the last ten percent of the risk.

This proposal really won Corey's heart. After pondering for a while, he finally made up his mind: "I'm going to take Saiyan to the secondary main city. The priest there will definitely be able to solve the curse on Saiyan."

In fact, he had taken Saiyan to the priest's temple in Flowing Spring Town before, but unfortunately the priest here didn't find anything abnormal.He was anxious before because he had no clue, but now that he understands that the curse is likely to be the cause, he can finally calm down and think about countermeasures.

What Luo Ye said was right, only a curse could do this. It could make the priests who are not strong enough not notice it, and it could also make the pharmacist confirm that there was no toxin in Saiyan's body.It must be a curse!

"Thank you very much, Law of Falling Leaves." Corey looked at Ye Xu sincerely, "You have helped me a lot, and I feel sorry for making you rush around for so long about Saiyan."

Ye Xu showed a professional smile: "Helping others is my hobby, you don't have to do this. And I don't receive any compensation at all, you can just treat it as paying me to hire me."

He said this mainly to remind Corey not to patronize thanks, but to show some practical benefits. Don't think that he won't get paid for saying a lot of heartfelt words. It's a good idea.But to Corey's ears, it had a completely different meaning. Corey felt that Ye Xu didn't want to make himself feel indebted to others, and used the employment relationship to weaken his contribution in it, which was really considerate and kind.

Corey was even more moved after such brainstorming, and he decided to repay Ye Xu with the most lucrative reward.Such a good person cannot be called a disadvantage.

then--

[Congratulations to the player for completing the blue mission "Explore the Rose Camp", and get 10 gold coins, 75% experience, 25 achievement points, and the item [Skill Book Priest Shield]. 】

Um? ? ?Out of the mage shield skills? !

Ye Xu was overjoyed, and quickly took a closer look—it was the priest shield.Priest shields can only be used by priests, summoners cannot learn them, but mage shields can be learned.

Ye Xu: Indifference.jpg

As soon as Corey left, he sent a screenshot of the skill book to Mo Bei, and attached a sentence: "How much do you plan to spend on it?"

Mo Bei was overjoyed, and without further ado, he sent his chat account and asked Ye Xu to add it.Ye Xu didn't understand what he was doing, but he added it anyway.As a result, just after the addition, Mo Bei over there directly transferred 10 yuan to him. Their chat app integrates wealth management accounts and chat communications, which is equivalent to the combination of Zhifubao and Koukou.

"..." Ye Xu transferred the money back speechlessly, Mo Bei is really a fool with a lot of money.

"Why don't you want my money?" Mo Bei applied for a call, and asked impatiently after getting through, with a very puzzled tone, "I'm not short of money, so you don't have to be polite to me."

Ye Xu said blankly: "But I'm not short of money."

Mo Bei felt that this was very tricky, and he couldn't think of any other way to repay Ye Xu except transfer money.The priest shield and mage shield are very expensive at this stage, and he has no suitable game items to give to Ye Xu, only money.

In the end, Ye Xu had no choice but to say: "You owe me two big meals now, put it in the account first, and remember to pay it back when you have gold coins later." Of course, Mo Bei nodded like a pounding garlic, repeatedly expressing that he would definitely treat him to the most expensive and best food .

After finishing the phone call, he still couldn't hold back and said to Ye Xu: "Luoye, do you think you are very popular with me? Ever since I met you, I have never lacked top-quality equipment and skills. Don't say anything else , As far as the roll skill when we formed a team for the first time, it was the first time I rolled out such a high score, I think I sucked your European spirit."

Ye Xu: "Hehe."

He doesn't want to prosper this idiot at all, okay?He still lacks a shield himself, so why is this product so cheap.

After dismissing the talkative Mo Bei, Ye Xu returned to the rocking chair to lie down on the dead body, thinking about Saiyan and the snakes in his mind.Of course Saiyan himself has nothing to do with Raisman, he mainly thinks about this task.

The task will be linked to Lesman, and I always feel that this is not a pure coincidence.In fact, it is easy to draw a conclusion by reverse derivation: people with Saiyan disease have a high probability of being exposed to Raisman snakes, so this disease can be used to determine the location of Raisman snakes, so as to obtain more snake bones.

Originally, Ye Xu thought that it would be difficult for Lesman's snakes to come and go. Without a large number of snakes for him to study the law, he couldn't find where the "lock" was.Now it has provided him with an idea, but it is a pity that this curse is too weak to be detected as easily as those obvious diseases, so it is not easy to find the Raisman snake with it, and it still depends on luck.

However, adding tasks is different.Corey issued a mission for players to investigate the appearance of the Raisman snake for the curse in Saiyan. Then there may be similar exploration missions in other areas. Collecting missions will be relatively easier than discovering patients.

It's a pity that after the Yeyin guild calmed down Liuquan as a gathering place, all the guild members rushed over one after another.They are not accepted in other towns and cannot trigger tasks.It is not realistic to rely on just one or two people to search the city. With so many NPCs, it is difficult to find the target NPC.

In short, Raisman's bone staff is hard to come by, just ask my brother to send someone to pay attention to the relevant information, and it is best not to spend too much energy on it.

After analyzing it, Ye Xu felt that he was wasting his time. Then he took a look at his level 13 and 75% experience points, and the highest level on the ranking list was only level 15. He didn't want to move any more.After sending the matter of the bone staff to his brother to make them a headache, Ye Xu decided to take a break and upgrade in the afternoon.

He summoned Tangtang and Xiaoling, and let Xiaoling play in the yard by himself. It would be a pity that there were no butterflies in such a beautiful yard, and he just let Xiaoling fill in the blank.And Tangtang became his special sofa, and it could learn how to manipulate its jelly body to make a jelly cradle like a rocking chair, successfully making Ye Xu give up the hard rocking chair.

Life is so wonderful, it would be even better if the shadows could be released together.Although the shadow has no ornamental or practical value, but you can show him the performance of fluttering butterflies with Xiaoling.

Just when Ye Xu was getting more and more decadent and was about to fall asleep in the jelly cradle, the system announcement rang in everyone's ears again, stirring up a thousand waves.

[System Announcement: The 15th level [-] player has appeared on the Huaguo server, and the currency trading system will open soon if the conditions are met! 】

[System Announcement: The currency trading system is activated, and Huaguo's entire server will undergo one-hour maintenance. After the maintenance, the currency trading system can be used! 】

[System Announcement: The countdown to system maintenance is 5 minutes. Players are requested to log off in time to avoid unnecessary losses. The game will restart at 12:[-] noon! 】

Ye Xu's eyes widened. Does the krypton gold system not start until the top 15 people have reached level [-]?What kind of unnecessary weird rule is this?

Although his heart was full of complaints, Ye Xu quickly went offline.One hour of maintenance, I have nothing to do, just go to have lunch.He's not very hungry yet, but as long as his lunch is good, he should be able to eat a little more.

Thinking of the delicious lunch, Ye Xu immediately put aside the launch of the krypton gold function.This function is a good thing for him, as long as it can be turned on, why think so much.
