Ye Hua looked at the mechanical maid carefully. It was level 56, which was much higher than the original Yulia 2000. Is it strong because of its tentacles? Or is this the maid's prerogative? These days, if a character randomly pops up and puts on a maid outfit, his combat power will be increased by 500. It's really weird. *****
To be honest, Ye Hua is indeed a little tempted. The purpose of his trip to the Shadow Dungeon this time is to take away the consciousness of Slaanesh. Just like the previous two times, he also needs to prepare a body for Slaanesh. But now he is short of money. When he goes out, It only cost Barbato one gold to make a first-class small toy, a small mechanical man only as big as a palm. He planned to use this as a body for Slaanesh temporarily.
"It's hard to say whether Slaanesh can accept this kind of trick to fool ghosts. Even if he accepts it, he will have to spend money to get a new body that is powerful enough in the future. In short, this money must be spent and cannot be saved at all.
But the mechanical maid in front of you is a ready-made container. Although it is uncomfortable to have tentacles, it can save hundreds of gold coins in manufacturing costs.
For the task entrusted by Bruns, the simple gold coin reward is unlikely to be hundreds of gold coins anyway. It is obviously more cost-effective to accept the mechanical maid as the task reward. The most important thing is that this reward can be paid in advance. Take the benefits first and do the work later. This mode is Ye Hua's favorite.
Ye Hua is quite satisfied with this reward in his heart, but he can't agree immediately. The transaction requires more negotiation to get more benefits~~
Ye Hua frowned and said: "Well, although this mechanical maid looks good, you said that it has flaws in its programming and the only reward is this, isn't it inappropriate? And I want gold coins even more."
Bruns sighed: "Well, since you said so, I'll give you two more months' salary as compensation."
Ye Hua slammed the table and said angrily: "I have said that my salary is what I deserve and I must be given an extra amount of money as compensation."
Bruns spread his hands and said: "I have told you that I have no money now, and it is impossible to add additional money. The guards' salaries are public funds, so I can pay you."
Ye Hua finally figured it out. Regardless of whether he really had no money or pretended to have no money, this old dwarf was not planning to increase the price. Moreover, judging from his words, if he did not accept the task, his two months' salary would probably be suspended indefinitely. Stay in arrears. Since you can¡¯t get any more bargains, let¡¯s just settle for this price.
Ye Hua exhaled and said: "I accept this reward, but the salary must be paid to me in advance."
Bruns nodded and said: "Of course, but I want to remind you that if the task is not completed successfully, these rewards will be withdrawn."
"You don't need to remind me, I know all this." Ye Hua responded and took over the task of transporting arms from Bruns.
"Thank you for your help, come with me." Bruns handed over the control of the mechanical maid Xiaodan and two months' salary to Ye Hua, and then led him into the basement of the mansion and drilled into a tunnel , walked to the end and climbed up to reach an old warehouse in the port.
There is a caravan parked in the center of the warehouse. The car is piled with wooden crates. The boxes have words written on them, 'Holiday fireworks, flammable and explosive, handle with care. "This old dwarf is just like that guy Barbato. They both disguise bombs as fireworks."
In addition to the caravan and dozens of boxes of 'fireworks', there is also a Kodo and three bipedal dragons tied up in the warehouse, which are large lizards similar to velociraptors that are usually used as mounts. But it is not a camel beast for daily use, but a combat mount that can charge into battle, usually used by the regular army.
¡° Bruns¡¯s ability to get three of them is considered a sign of skill. The fact that he can provide three of them also shows that he attaches great importance to this transaction. It seems that the price offered by the other party is really not low, allowing a miser like him to compete with Barbato to pay such a high price.
Kodos are used to pull caravans, so what happened to the three earth dragons? Could it be that there are three helpers on this trip?
Bruns opened the door to the warehouse and said a few words to the two unkind-looking guys guarding the door. Then one of them walked away, and the other turned around and walked into the warehouse and began to harness the Kodo beast. .
"Mr. Big Stick, come here and talk." Bruns led Ye Hua into a small compartment in the warehouse, took out a scroll full of text and views and gave it to him, then pointed to the content on the scroll and carefully Explain it to him.
The content of the scroll is the method of opening a transportation 'channel', including which route to take, whom to meet, what to say, what gifts to give, how to deal with patrols, how to deal with temporary inspections, etc. To put it bluntly, it is Of course, the most important thing to teach Ye Hua a set of dark tricks is to emphasize adaptability. After all, during martial law, any accident may be discovered, and blindly following the same tactics is unacceptable.impossible.
Ye Hua listened carefully to what Bruns said, put the scroll containing many key points into his bag, and took the bag containing the 'gifts' for opening the road. He was ready to go.
They had just finished talking, and the gatekeeper who left before came back, and brought back three people. They were three male players, and they were players from the Order camp.
Port Holguin is a neutral city. It is not surprising to see players from the opposing camp here. In the wild, there is a life-and-death confrontation. After entering the neutral area, you can still live in peace, communicate normally, trade freely, and even cooperate with each other. , but most people still have some knots in their hearts when they see people from the hostile camp. Although they can't fight due to the control of the NPC guards, a cold attitude is unavoidable.
Ye Hua looked at the three people opposite him. The one standing in the middle was a black-haired fox man. He was wearing a very ordinary leather armor and carried a very simple-looking short bow on his back. Everything was normal and ordinary. except for a mixed-haired cat lying on top of his head. Is this thing a pet? An animal companion? It¡¯s really rare for a man to wander around with such a cute pet.
The one on the left is a tall, strong man, wearing half a leather armor, revealing a large area of ??muscles that make people look tight. This guy's square face with sharp edges is also wearing a pair of masks that cover most of his face. He wears big sunglasses and carries an oversized crossbow on his back. He is full of fierceness. The strange thing is that the race this guy chose is a winged man. There is a pair of white wings on his back. With this body shape and face, he gives people a It felt like a forest fairy that escaped from an inexplicable wrestling scene. At this moment, this Billy-looking brother was looking up at the sky, not sure whether he was pretending to be cool or in a daze.
The one on the right is a human man with short sky-blue hair, wearing heavy plate armor, carrying a large shield half a man high and a long sword on his back. He was obviously the most manly armored warrior, but he seemed to have been passed over by ten big men, with a tired look on his face and yawning constantly.
Bruns came over and introduced: "Canfeng, Wu Gang, and Moshang Liuzhi, these three are my town guards. This time they will accompany you to transport the goods to the Shadow Dungeon. If you encounter any trouble on the way, it's okay. There is care.¡±
After introducing the three of them, Bruns leaned into Ye Hua's ear and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, they are all newcomers who were just recruited a few days ago. They have no identity background and are not familiar with the situation here. There's nothing wrong with using them, as long as you don't let them know what's being hauled."
Seeing Ye Hua nodding to express his understanding, Bruns turned back to introduce Ye Hua to the three of them, saying: "This is the guard squad leader of Olkin, Mr. Big Stick. He is the captain of this transportation mission. You three Everyone must obey his orders."
Ye Hua thought to himself: Hmm, threesomes are a very common combination. If there are more than three people, there will usually be a transparent person with Akarin disease, such as Wei Liang and their group. Isn¡¯t that right? Why do you want these three people to work with me? How can we arrange people from the three order camps? It¡¯s very difficult to deal with the team relationship like this. Hey,
If players from opposite camps want to cooperate, a major prerequisite is that the commander¡¯s side has the upper hand. If the directed side has the upper hand, the team will easily have disagreements or even internal strife. The current situation is like this. There are three people on the other side. How can they honestly obey the command of a person from the hostile camp?
But this truth cannot be explained clearly by NPCs. In the eyes of neutral NPCs, players in the chaos camp and the order camp are the same, and there is no difference.
Ye Hua could only find an excuse and said: "There's no need to find a helper, right? I can drive alone."
Bruns shook his head and said: "No, the situation in the area around the Shadow Dungeon has been a bit chaotic recently. Most of the territory that originally belonged to the Shadow Dungeon is out of control. Rebels and bandits are everywhere, and the caravan is attracting attention. A single person It is very dangerous for people to drive on the road, and they cannot do it without a few helpers by their side."
Ye Hua sighed: "So, I can't reject these three helpers?"
Bruns nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter what you are like, but for the sake of the safety of the goods, you must take the three of them with you. Although they are all newbies who have just entered the industry, they are very capable. With them here, The shipping process will be smooth.¡±
Ye Hua spread his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, I believe you, it will be 'safe' and 'smooth' with the three of them. "
He knew that the road was not very safe and he did need help, but why did Bruns have to arrange for these three people? Thinking with your toes, you can tell that this short guy must be afraid of exposing himself, so he uses an unfamiliar face. This way, even if something unexpected happens, he can easily escape responsibility. This is the same as asking Ye Hua to lead the team.?, because he is also a new face in Port Holguin and Shadow Dungeon.
As for how Bruns found these three people? It must be a coincidence that these three people have joined Olkin's guards through certain tasks or other methods in recent days. It happened that Bruns was looking for a new face, so he found the three of them. After all, he used his men The guards do not need to pay high rewards, and they can also avoid the accidents of gangsters and gangsters to the greatest extent.
Realizing that he couldn¡¯t get rid of these three people, Ye Hua had no choice but to admit it. If it didn¡¯t work, just give up the command. Anyway, everyone has the same mission goal. It is fundamental to work together to complete the mission and receive rewards.
Fighting over trivial matters is something only hot-blooded young people who do not understand the nature of society can do. Ye Hua has never done anything hot-blooded since he and Huang Ming were severely beaten by high school students in college, because he felt like that Very stupid, 10 times stupider than accompanying Huang Ming to get beaten.
Ye Hua said goodbye to Bruns, climbed into the caravan, sat in the driver's seat, and drove the Kodo beast out of the port warehouse. The three so-called helpers rode on the ground dragon and followed without saying a word. In the back of the caravan.
Just after leaving the south city gate of Olkin, Canfeng, with a mixed-haired cat lying on his head, rushed up on his mount and said to Ye Hua: "Captain Big Stick, I had insomnia last night. I'm very sleepy now, do you have any objection to sleeping in the car?"
As soon as Nima came out of the city gates, I was disgusting. My egg was fixed.
When Wu Gang and Moshang Liuzhi saw this, they also rushed over and said together: "We also had insomnia last night."
Dan Ding was determined to complete the task smoothly. Ye Hua's brows jumped and said: "Okay, everyone come up."
So the three of them tied the temporarily assigned mounts to the back of the caravan and followed the car, then jumped into the caravan to rest, leaving Ye Hua alone to drive hard.
Nima¡¯s waiting task is completed, so that you souls are lighter and you can see Lao Tzu¡¯s blood.
Port of Holguin, in front of the gate of the Governor's Residence
"This is the governor's residence. No one is allowed to enter." The guard in front of the door used his halberd to stop Long Xinyue who was trying to walk in. He warned her in a cold tone while shaking the sharp tip of the halberd that shone with cold light. To show threat.
"You dare to say that I am just an idler. Believe it or not, I will knock you down." Long Xinyue really couldn't stand this attitude, and she was about to rush forward in anger.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of the blue, she grabbed her and loudly advised: "Please stop making trouble, this is the city, you will be arrested if you fight with the guards."
"Who pulled me?" Long Xinyue struggled and looked back, surprised: "When did you come? By the way, what is your name?"
Reliable Nut Wall said: "I have said Reliable Nut Wall 18 times. 18 times. Please at least write down my name."
Being interrupted like this, Long Xinyue, who was so nervous, forgot about the anger just now, and started to think about serious matters, saying: "You also saw that Da Stick went in here, and Sister Wei Liang is not here. We don¡¯t have positioning skills as convenient as hers, how can we confirm the location of the big stick if we don¡¯t follow her?¡±
Although the current situation is a bit troublesome, Reliable Nut Wall rarely has the opportunity to show its presence. He still couldn't stop his proud expression, barely suppressed his smile, and showed a little bit of happiness that didn't look like happiness, and worry didn't look like worry, and said: "It's okay. Didn't I ask my sister to go offline and call Sister Weiliang? Just wait until she arrives."
Long Xinyue frowned and said: "Sister Weiliang got offline at the port over there. After she got online, she had to take a boat over. This would take at least an hour. Including the waiting time for the boat, it might take two hours. Isn't it possible that something unexpected will happen after such a long time? What if this guy, Big Stick, walks out of the back door? We don't even know it standing here."
"Uh" The nut wall is stuck, I think this person seems to be a little smarter? Could it be that the character setting has been changed again? The changes shouldn't be so big, okay?
"No, we can't wait here, we still have to rush in." Long Xinyue waved her fist and wanted to go up and start fighting again.
"Stop, please don't use violence." The reliable nut wall pulled Long Xinyue again, thinking that he had really made a mistake just now, this guy is still an ignorant fool.
"Don't pull me. He dared to threaten me just now? I will definitely beat him up all over his face." Long Xinyue thought of the annoyance just now. Like an angry rabbit, she struggled hard, trying to break away from the reliable nut wall and rush forward. Beat the guards.
"Don't do anything yet. I have a way. I have a way to get in." Seeing that Long Xinyue couldn't be held back, Guo Nuoqiang yelled in desperation.
Such a shout was indeed effective. Long Xinyue stopped struggling and turned back to stare at her, meaning to see what you have.?How to get in.
"Huh!" Reliable Nut Wall breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. He looked at Long Xinyue, who was ready to start the film at any time. He gritted his teeth and decided to risk it. He took out a money bag from his bag, walked to the guard and stuffed the bag into his hand. , said with a smile: "Haha, sir, we two have something to find, er, to find the Governor, can you let us in?"
If you go in like this, you are likely to encounter a big stick and risk exposing your tracking purpose. But she was not Wei Liang and had no ability to stop Long Xinyue from going berserk, so she had no choice but to risk entering the mansion.
The guard shook the money bag, put it in his arms, and said with a straight face: "My lord is meeting important guests, and I don't have time to see you. You can just wait."
"I, you" are so angry at the reliable nut wall. This soul takes money and doesn't do things, and doesn't follow the routine. My silver coins have been wasted like this.
Long Xinyue twisted her wrist, raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, it's my turn, don't you have to use your fists to solve it in the end?"
"No, please listen to me, okay?" Reliable Nut Wall was still trying to stop Long Xinyue with her remaining sense, but her attitude was no longer resolute enough. After all, she had just lost dozens of silver coins, and she was still trying to stop Long Xinyue. It's impossible to run out of gas.
At this time, a caravan pulled by kodo beasts passed by the roadside. Long Xinyue was pulled by the nut wall, pointed at the caravan and said in surprise: "Don't do anything yet, let's see if the one in the car is a big stick?" "
"Huh?" Long Xinyue looked up and shouted: "When did the big stick come out? Let's catch up quickly."
"Hurry up!" Guo Nuoqiang stopped after just a few steps and said anxiously: "Oh, he's riding in a car. We don't even have mounts, how can we catch up?"
"Who said there is no mount?" Long Xinyue said, released a chocobo from the pet pen, and rode on it.
The reliable nut wall said happily: "That's great. You have a mount. Why didn't you tell me to hurry up and pull me up?"
"Ahem" Long Xinyue coughed twice guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, the Chocobo can only carry one person, so I'll chase him first. You can think of another way."
"Hey" Reliable Nut Wall was shocked. It's absolutely impossible to let this stupid guy chase him alone.
¡°That¡¯s it, I¡¯ll leave first, bye.¡± Long Xinyue rushed out on the chocobo, leaving behind the reliable nut wall covered in dust.
¡°Hey, you can¡¯t go by yourself, wait for me.¡± The reliable Nut Wall¡¯s eager shouting failed to receive a response. She shouted with all her strength: ¡°Don¡¯t ignore me, you idiot.¡±
Her voice came very far, but unfortunately no passerby noticed her
