. Chapter 154 It¡¯s really hard for professional players
Just when Ye Hua had just teleported back to the temple, Wei Liang, who had been following him, was extremely anxious. She originally thought that her goal was to use the city return scroll to return to the guild headquarters. She cursed in her heart to get out of here and use the stick to waste. I got a city-return scroll and returned to Bone Town, where the Lily Club is based, but when I came back I found that Big Stick wasn¡¯t there at all.
??Using the ¡®Heart Pursuit¡¯ skill, we can see that the current coordinates of Big Stick are far from those of Bone Town. Can¡¯t the return scroll only be used to return to the guild¡¯s headquarters? He is not a mage, and he cannot have the teleportation skill. How on earth did he teleport outside the station?
It¡¯s useless to think about this. The key is to find where the big stick is. If the employer sends a message asking about the target¡¯s location at this time, if you can¡¯t answer it, you will lose your job.
Wei Liang hurriedly opened the map and searched for the coordinates of Da Stick. After just one glance, he was confused. The coordinates pointed to the location on the sea. When he zoomed in on the map, he saw that there was no island there. *****
If the distance is far, the 'Heart Pursuit' skill can only give an approximate range, but there is no land at all within the range, not even land. How did the big stick get there?
Could it be that there is an undiscovered island there? The unexplored maps will indeed have a fog effect, and you can't see what the real situation is. It seems that you can only seize the time to go over and see what is going on.
Wei Liang said to Long Xinyue: "Let's rent a boat and go to sea."
Long Xinyue looked at Wei Liang who was in a hurry and murmured: "Is this the job of a professional gamer? You haven't received your salary yet, but you have spent a lot of money first. It's really hard work."
Wei Liang, who had a very high perception attribute and very good ears, heard her words, turned around and shouted angrily: "Don't casually characterize my work. This is an accident. Do you understand? Stop dawdling here and hurry up with me." Walk"
Half an hour later
Standing on the deck, Wei Liang looked around. All he could see was sea water. Not to mention a small island, there wasn't even a rock to stand on. How is this going? Is the big stick underwater? She jumped into the sea and took a look. It was so deep that it was so dark that she couldn't even see the bottom.
She filled a bottle of diving potion and tried to go down to take a look, but she didn't go down a few meters when she was discovered by a level 70 shark monster that actively attacked. It bit her on the butt and almost killed her, forcing her to Ran back to the ship.
Wei Liang lay on the deck panting in embarrassment and complained: "The level of the monsters below is too high. I can't get down at all. How did this big stick get down? It's really weird."
Long Xinyue waved her fist and said, "How about I pay you for it? With me, I can take care of any monster."
Wei Liang curled her lips and said: "You'd better save it. Even if you can take care of all the monsters blocking the way, we don't know how deep it is down here. With our current attributes and equipment, if we go down rashly, we might be crushed to death by the water pressure." of."
Long Xinyue shrugged and said, "What should we do? If the employer comes to ask, just say that the big stick is in the sea? They won't believe it, right?"
"I" Wei Liang opened her mouth not knowing what to say, and sweat started to fall on her forehead. If the employer really came to ask, I really couldn't answer. He said it was in the sea. What should I do if people ask me how I got down? I can't answer it at all.
Do you want to ask how the big stick got down? No, he didn't know what method was used to transmit it directly. Didn't his asking reveal the purpose of tracking? How can I do? What should I do? Wei Liang started to go crazy. 150 yuan is really not easy to earn.
Fortunately, God did not abandon her. After a while, the coordinates of Big Stick changed, and she returned to Bone Town. Don't worry about what he was doing by teleporting back and forth, as long as his specific location could be determined.
When Wei Liang touched his bag, he realized that there was no return ticket. He hurriedly ordered the hired sailors to sail back to Bone Town. As soon as he got off the boat, he took Long Xinyue to chase Big Stick. He saw that the location was just outside Bone Town. far away.
But just as he approached the location of the big stick, the coordinates of this guy changed again and returned to the range of the previous sea.
Wei Liang was so angry that he vomited blood and wondered if this big stick knew someone was following him and was deliberately playing tricks on him, right?
No matter what, you must keep up. For reputation and salary, just fight. Wei Liang said weakly: "Let's go back to the dock and hire a boat to go out to sea."
"Hey," Long Xinyue said in surprise: "It cost a lot of money to hire a ship and sailors just now. If we hire another one, we will have to deduct a day's salary into it."
Wei Liang glared and said, "What can I do but catch up quickly? I believe this kind of thing can't happen every day. I'll make my money back tomorrow."
Long Xinyue looked at Wei Liang¡¯s frivolous footsteps and murmured: ¡°Is this the job of a professional player?¡±?I just worked for one day and all my salary was paid in. It¡¯s really hard work.¡±
Wei Liang screamed frantically: "Don't make me say it a second time. I already said it was an accident. Accidents are small-probability events. Do you understand? Stop lingering here and leave quickly."
The two of them had just hired a boat, but before they got on the boat, the coordinates of the big stick changed again, and they were back in Bone Town again.
Wei Liang smiled apologetically at the sailor of the NPC fishing boat and said, "Brother, my little sister suddenly doesn't want to go to sea. Do you think this money can be returned to my little sister?"
The sailor waved his hand and said angrily: "If you don't want to go to sea, get on the ship quickly. If you don't want to go to sea, get out of here. The fee will not be refunded."
Wei Liang spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood, stood up and wiped the corners of his mouth, saying in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the town and follow the big stick."
Long Xinyue looked at Wei Liang who was on the verge of collapse and murmured: "Is this the job of a professional player? Spending money back and forth is not appreciated, it is really hard work."
Wei Liang complained: "How many times have I told you this is an accident? It's an accident. Don't let me say the same thing again. Stop lingering here and leave quickly."
When the two of them hurried slowly and hurriedly, and finally got close to the position of the big stick, he actually got on the stage carriage and left. It seemed that the direction of travel should be to Sinada, the nearest port city here, so the two of them hurriedly got on the stage coach and rushed there, paying of course the fare themselves.
After arriving at the port, they saw Big Stick boarding the passenger ship bound for the Southern Continent. The two of them were just one step away from catching the ship. They had to wait an hour for the next ship, and of course they had to pay for the ticket themselves.
Wei Liang stared at her bloodshot eyes, opened her mouth full of blood foam, and said: "Xinyue, while waiting for the ship, get off the line and call the potion bottles and Nut Wall up, and ask them to take over the day's shift for me. , I want to take a day off¡±
Long Xinyue looked at Wei Liang who was looking back and murmured: "Is this the job of a professional player? Vomiting three liters of blood a day is really hard work."
Wei Liang nodded and said: "Yes, it is really hard work, so you must study hard and make progress every day. Don't end up like me, who can only do this kind of work." As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down.
"Sister Weiliang, sister Weiliang, wake up," Long Xinyue jumped anxiously and shouted, "It's bad, it's bad, sister Weiliang died of overwork."
Southern Continent, Governor's Residence, Port Holguin
The Governor's Mansion is actually a functional building similar to the Bone Town government office building. However, as a city-level town and an economically independent autonomous city, Port Holguin is much more prosperous than Bone Town. The Governor's Mansion is naturally better than the one in Bone Town. The town government office building is much more elegant.
¡°That dwarf Bruns is the chief executive of Port Holguin on the surface, but an underground arms dealer in the dark. Just looking at the luxurious building in front of him, you can tell that this guy has made a lot of money. I don¡¯t know what he wants from me? If you want something from me, hehehe, you need to spend more money.
Ye Hua had a crooked idea in his mind and asked the guard in front of the door to inform him. He was then led into the governor's mansion and into the reception room.
After waiting in the reception room for a long time, Bruns appeared in a gorgeous robe. The clothes were good, but he was too short. He looked funny in a robe.
"Mr. Big Stick, it's been a long time." This guy was promoted and became famous. He made Ye Hua wait for such a long time, but he was not polite at all and said hello casually.
Then he sat down on the sofa opposite Ye Hua, crossed his legs, folded his hands covered with gemstones on his knees, raised his head and said, "Little Dan, serve tea."
Following Bruns¡¯ greeting, an elf girl of medium height, slender build, long silver hair, wearing a maid outfit walked in carrying a tray.
"This is a robot? Don't you think the name Xiaodan is weird?" Ye Hua noticed the elf girl's dull expression and unfocused eyes, and knew that this human-shaped thing was not a living thing. Thinking that Bruns was a master of engineering like Barbato, he naturally thought that this thing was a robot. However, the appearance of this robot feels familiar. Have you seen this robot or the model that provided its appearance before? Can't remember
"Mr. Big Stick has a good eye." Bruns raised a thumb and said proudly: "This is a housekeeping robot that I designed and built independently. It is not only capable of doing housework, but also has a combat program installed, which can repel insects and prevent theft. It's really true. It¡¯s a home trip, killing people.¡±
"I asked, why is this teacup empty?" Ye Hua turned around the empty teacup, interrupting Bruns' boasting.
"Huh?" Bruns picked up the tea cup and saw that it was indeed empty. He turned to the mechanical maid and said, "Little Dan, I mean to serve tea, serve tea, not to ask for an empty tea cup."
The mechanical maid¡¯s godless eyes flashedAfter a few clicks, a "tentacle" as thick as a thumb came out from behind and quickly and flexibly reached out of the door. After a while, he brought back a kettle and poured a full glass of sweet wine for Bruns and Ye Hua respectively.
"I said, this" Ye Hua pointed at the mechanical maid who put the 'tentacle' back on her back, and twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Well, ah, haha, it's not bad to drink some sweet wine." Bruns laughed for a while and sighed: "Actually, there is something wrong with the program of this machine, and there will always be some small mistakes in the understanding of the instructions."
Ye Hua waved his hand and said, "No, no, that's not what I'm asking. I'm talking about what happened to that tentacle-like thing just now?"
"Tentacles? Oh, you mean multi-functional joints." Bruns began to feel proud again and said: "This is my original creation that is both flexible and powerful. It can be used as a hand and foot weapon to improve the work efficiency of the robot. I It is equipped with 14 multi-functional joints so that it can do multiple tasks at the same time. It can only take care of such a large house by itself, saving a lot of money on hiring servants."
Bruns regretted: "You know that I am a person with status now, and I always have to meet with some high-level people. If it weren't for the purpose of not making other people disgusted, I would not make the robot into a human form. Think about it. It would be great to be equipped with multi-functional joints to enhance work efficiency, so that even the janitor, the gardener who mows the lawn, and the craftsman who repairs the chimney can be fired."
After that, he asked the mechanical maid to show it off. Seeing the 14 tentacles up to 10 meters long extending out from its back, twisting in the air like snakes, Ye Hua felt chills all over, tightness in his anus, and very uncomfortable. .
Damn, 14 tentacles are already scary. What the hell would it look like to have tentacles all over the body? Bruns, this short guy, is really the same thing as Barbato. They are all stingy men who don¡¯t understand art. They only care about efficiency and Gold coins don¡¯t care about appearance at all.
Ye Hua felt uncomfortable and quickly asked Bruns to give the order to ask the mechanical maid to take back the tentacles. Then he tried not to think about the scene just now and started talking about serious matters, saying: "So, why did you find me? You didn't come to me to collect your salary, right?"
"Salary? Oh, the salary of the guard squad leader. I'll talk about this salary later." Bruns pushed the salary issue over and said, "I came to you this time because I want to entrust you to help with a small matter. .¡±
As the saying goes, there are no small things around high officials. As the top administrator of a prosperous port city, how could the things Bruns personally entrusted be trivial? It¡¯s even more unbelievable than the nonsense that there are no trivial matters around the people.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Although he knew that things would not be simple, Ye Hua still decided to ask. For an officer like Bruns, the reward for the task should not be small. It would be a shame to give it up. If the task is not particularly difficult and does not waste much time, it is not impossible to try to take over the task.
Bruns waved Ye Hua to come closer and lowered his voice and said: "That's it, I recently had a batch of goods that encountered a little trouble in transportation. You know that it is not appropriate for me to handle such matters personally in my current capacity. It is necessary It will take a trustworthy person to help, so I asked you to come over."
"Oh, I see. The underworld business of smuggling arms must have encountered difficulties, and this guy was afraid of exposing himself by handling it personally, so he came to find me. Ye Hua touched his chin and said, "To be more specific, what is the trouble?"
"Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Anyway, you are from Barbato, so you are quite reliable. At least you won't betray me." Bruns spread his hands and explained helplessly: "I have a truckload of arms to be transported to the Shadow Dungeon. Go, but there has been a rebellion there recently, and there have even been suicide bomb attacks in the city, causing the city to enter a state of martial law. The original cargo 'channel' has been completely blocked, and a new 'channel' needs to be opened. That¡¯s fine, there are a lot of secrets involved, and I can¡¯t handle it myself, so I have to find someone trustworthy like you to do it for me.¡±
??Shadow Dungeon? It just happened to be on the way. But why was Bruns in such a hurry to transport the things? Ye Hua asked: "Why don't you wait until the martial law is over before sending the freight over?"
Bruns smiled and said: "Well, because the other party needs it urgently, the price offered is very high."
When used urgently, it usually means that this is a very serious matter, and the martial law may have something to do with it. Ye Hua always felt a little uneasy and asked carefully: "Who is the other party? What are they doing with these arms?"
Bruns waved his hand and said: "You don't need to know this, as long as you know where to deliver it."
Ye Hua changed his approach and asked: "What are your weapons?"
There is no need to hide this, and it cannot be concealed. Bruns replied: "It is a high-explosive bomb."
?It's true. The suicide bomb terrorist attack was caused by your buyer, right? And he's not very courageous. The city is under martial law. You dare to buy bombs to carry out terrorist attacks. You dwarf is really lawless. The situation is so serious and you dare to sell bombs to terrorists. Are you crazy about money? I would definitely not change it. If the price is right, I might dare to sell it.
Ye Hua asked about the situation carefully and confirmed that Bruns just didn't want to do it himself. It was not that there was no way to open a new 'channel'. As long as he followed the method he said, in theory, he could successfully enter the Shadow Dungeon and deliver the goods. From this point of view, the difficulty of the task will not be very high, at least on the surface.
According to Ye Hua¡¯s estimation, the mission should be completed successfully. The completion location is in the Shadow Dungeon. It happens to be on the way and will not waste time. Next, as long as the reward is negotiated, you can take on the mission.
Ye Hua rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "I said, we have been talking for a long time, is it time to talk about remuneration? Let's talk about it first. If the price is not right, I will not do these dangerous things."
Bruns pondered: "As a reward, how about I give you two months' salary?"
Ye Hua slapped the table and said angrily: "You owe me two months' salary and haven't paid me. This is what I deserve and cannot be counted in the remuneration."
Bruns asked: "But I recently spent a lot of money to purchase a batch of raw materials, and I really can't pay much back. If I can't do it, how about I owe it first?"
Ye Hua glared and said, "No credit."
Bruns scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed at the mechanical maid who had been standing next to him and said, "I see that you are quite interested in the little egg. How about just taking it as a reward? I can pay you in advance."
"It?" Ye Hua glanced at the mechanical maid called Xiaodan.
