After taking care of the goblin's affairs, Mu You took the list written by it, left enough food and water for it, and then left.

However, before leaving, the goblin hurriedly grabbed Mu You, pointed to half of the hill cut out in the space, and asked him if he could chop down trees and quarry stones.

Mu You looked at the mountain bag in the distance and roughly understood what the goblin meant. He nodded and said that the space in this backpack would be given to him as a base in the future. It could be modified at will, but the prerequisite was not to think about escaping.

The goblin naturally said yes to this. It just wanted to dig out rocks and build a house, but it didn't dare to have so many ideas.

After dealing with the goblins, Mu You returned to the lock core space. By this time, Xiaoya's light of evolution time had ended.

Mu You looked around and found that there were no new small animal mutations today, but there was a change that surprised him even more: the war eagle evolved!

The Shadow War Eagle, which had been stuck at the tenth level bottleneck before and remained motionless, finally broke through the bottleneck smoothly after persevering in the light of evolution for nearly a month and jumped from level ten to level eleven. Not only did its attack power Health has been slightly increased, and a new ability has been added.

[Chain Lightning: The thunder shock released by the Shadow War Eagle will jump between nearby enemies, losing 20% ​​of the power of the initial lightning each time. It will not hit the same target repeatedly, and the maximum number of jumps is four. 】

Thunder Blast has changed from single-target damage to group damage. It jumps four times, which means it can hit up to five targets each time. Although the damage will gradually decrease, the total amount is equivalent to tripling the damage of a lightning strike. , the improvement is not small.

At the same time, War Eagle broke through the bottleneck, which meant that there were no obstacles before level 15.

Mu You looked at the time. It was only seven o'clock in the afternoon, which was still early before midnight. He could wait until the early morning to summon the war eagle to see if he could go straight to level 15. The initial website address is p://m.biquke.

After Xiaoya and Lin Xue finished their work, they said goodbye and went home. Muyou watched them leave, went out to finish dinner, then went home and closed the shop, went back to the house and made a few cards to kill some time.

I just got the 'Snowball Spell' and 'Repair As New' from the meeting two days ago, and I also copied a spare card.

After finishing the work, it was already half past eleven in the evening.

At this time, the weekly cooldown of the Elf Horn has ended. Mu You took out his phone and relaunched the game to check out the new missions first.

【You blew the elf horn】

[Dark Elf Queen Freyd Exile appears in front of you and issues a mission to you. 】

[Cleaning up the Dark Temple: The Dark Temple located on the outskirts of Undercity was originally a place where dark elves worshiped the gods, but recently a group of goblins seemed to have opened up the passage at the other end of the temple, and the dirty goblins occupied it. temple and transformed it into a mine.

Because the goblins have set up many solar alchemy devices to drive away the dark elves, her people cannot get close there. So Fred hopes that you can enter the temple crypt, clean up the goblins in it, and destroy the goblins' alchemy devices.

The Dark Elf Queen was once entrusted with a ruins map fragment by a certain Fool ancestor and entrusted her to give it to the qualified Fool's descendants. If you can complete this task, she decided to give this fragment to you. 】

[Reward: City of Eternal Night Map Fragments (Part 9). 】

"Fragments of ruins?"

Looking at the four paragraphs of text that popped up in the game within one second, Mu You was a little surprised. After hurriedly scanning the content, he went back in time.

The horn was blown for the first time today, and the Queen of Darkness came out again. The task was to clean up the temple and fight against the goblins. The difficulty was unknown. Originally, Mu You was not very interested, because the distance was too far, and he had to go to the Undercity. place, but the final reward forced him to face up to this task.

A map fragment: No. 9 of the City of Eternal Night...

Mu You touched his chin. What really surprised him was that the Queen of Darkness actually had a fragment in her hand. And judging from the text, she didn't pick it up herself, but it was entrusted to her by the ancestor of the Fool... …

From this point of view, there is indeed a secret relationship between the elves and the ancestors of the Fool.

The elf horn in his hand is also a proof. As a hidden relic, the Elf Horn is actually a communicator that connects the Fool and the Elf clan.

The ancestor of the Fool handed a fragment to the Queen of Darkness, probably hoping that the owner of the horn would inherit the fragment first. Of course, if the horn owner does not complete the task well enough and is considered unqualified by the Elf Queen, he will also look for other targets...

But in this way, there is no need to rush to complete this task.

This task is hanging here. If he doesn't take it, the task will not be removed in a short period of time, so there is no need to worry about this fragment being found by others.

Thinking of this, Mu You reactivated the horn and prepared to check out other tasks first.

I refreshed it seven or eight times in a row, and successfully completed the tasks of the forest priest and the sun elf.

As expected, the content of the two tasks was the same as before. One was asked to explore the dreamland, and the other was asked to capture the abyssal dragon alive. The content and rewards remained completely unchanged.

However, after several times, he never saw the fairy's mission.

At first, Muyou thought it was because the number of refreshes was too few and it didn't appear randomly, so he continued to trace back.

However, after going back for more than forty times, the mission always switched between the other three types of elves, and the fairies and fairies never appeared from the beginning to the end.

"what's the situation?"

Mu You felt a little uneasy. Didn't she urgently need pollen last week? Didn't the price of the reward increase?

Muyou pollen was prepared for her this week, but she didn't come out to post the mission...

Could it be that...it died?

Mu You couldn't help but think of this possibility.

But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong. It's just that there is a lack of pollen, and at most it loses the power of luck. After all, he is a representative of the fairy clan and has a profound background. He will not die just because he does not have the power of luck, right?

Unwilling to give up, Mu You refreshed it dozens of times, but the text of the fairy was still missing. It seemed that she really would not appear today.

Helpless, Mu You had no choice but to turn around and take on the task of the Sunlight Elf first.

The goblin and fairy were gone, and the remaining two tasks were not something he could complete in a short time. However, he already had an idea of ​​the task of the Sunlight Elf.

In the meeting a few days ago, she agreed with the Lord of the Abyss that she would bring an abyss flying dragon over next week. According to her tone at the time, this matter should not be too difficult.

[You have accepted the mission 'Capture the flying dragon alive': go to the Lohmadi Abyss within a week, capture an abyssal flying dragon alive and bring it back. Mission reward: a phoenix egg. 】

After receiving the mission, Mu You put away the horn and saw that the time was about to reach twelve o'clock, so he sent the character to Anning Village, preparing to go to the old cat store manager to take care of his business.

[After a period of dizziness, you returned to the watchman’s cabin. 】

[You leave the wooden house and choose to go to the entrance of the village...]

[You arrive at the entrance of the village and see the Owl Shop not far from the village gate. 】

[You walk towards the Owl Store, ready to buy something. However, when you get closer, you realize that there are a large number of Fools gathered around the store, and the three display windows of the old cat shop owner are already empty. 】

[Obviously, you are late. The goods had been snapped up by a swarm of Fools earlier today. The people gathered around were waiting for the store to be refreshed in the early morning. 】

"emmm..."

Mu You was speechless, forgetting that it was now a public beta, and the arcane tower was no longer in use. Players were no longer restricted in their movements and could enter the city or village at will.

In other words, now not only monsters have to fight for it, but people also have to queue up to buy things.

There was no other way, so Mu You had no choice but to let the characters stand next to the shop and wait.

With a pocket watch in hand, he is still very confident in grabbing things, but the process will be more complicated...

I hung up at the door of the store for a while, and the time quickly came to zero.

[The hour hand in the store passed zero, and you saw an owl falling from the sky on time, carrying a delicate leather suitcase in its talons, and landed inside the owl store. 】

[The old cat shop owner took the suitcase immediately and opened it on the spot. 】

[You hurriedly looked inside and saw ten items placed in the box, namely: Protoss Dictionary, Boots of Speed, Poison Dagger, Invisibility Cloak...]

[The old cat store manager selected six products and took them out...]

The last time he walked in, Mu You remembered that there were only five items in the suitcase, and the store manager Lao Mao chose three from five.

This time, the goods brought by the owl were actually twice as much as the last time he saw them, and the goods picked by the old cat store manager also doubled.

But what Mu You couldn't understand was that among the ten items, there was not even a spell scroll?

[The store manager Lao Mao placed the six items in the cabinets and started today's sales. 】

[A large number of fools outside the window were fighting for it, and the items in the cabinet were all purchased almost instantly. 】

[You take a step slower, and when you look again, there are only six 'sold out' shelves left in front of you...]

Mu You: "..."

Do you want all of these people to be so rich?

Among today's goods, there was even a rare 'Life Amulet' worth 1,000 years, which automatically generated a shield every hour. Something of this level was actually snatched away in an instant!

Counting the lifespan of the golden apple, Mu You now holds a huge sum of money with a lifespan of 3021, but even if he wants to buy this thing, he must carefully consider it.

However, these players with less than level ten logos on their heads are actually so generous...

Mu You could only sigh, there are still many rich people!

Although it is not easy to successfully trade large sums of life on earth now, as long as they are willing to pay the price, there are always people who are willing to sell a few or more than ten years of life in exchange for getting rich overnight.

Nine days have passed since the open beta, and even if those capital parties have collected scattered lifespans, they are now enough to accumulate a very huge number.

These rich people don't lack lifespan now, what they lack is level, magic and props. Now that the Arcane Tower has finally disappeared and the store in the other world is open to the Fools, it is not difficult to understand why they would buy goods so arrogantly.

No wonder even the Owl Store has doubled its goods today. It seems that these businessmen from other worlds are still clear-minded. They have anticipated in advance that there may be a shopping frenzy today and have temporarily increased their shipments.

After the rush sale, a group of players finished their shopping and went away to do their own business. Soon, only Muyou's game characters were left on the scene.

Mu You didn't leave in a hurry because he still wanted to talk to the old cat store manager.

[You walked to a deserted place and switched to the mysterious man's skin. 】

[You are back next to the store again. 】

[The old cat shop owner has finished selling and is already packing up his things to close the door. When he sees you coming, he stops in a hurry and comes to greet you, informing you that today’s goods have been sold out and asking you if you need anything. 】

[You asked the old cat shop owner about the sales situation in the past two days. 】

[The old cat shop owner tells you that since the early hours of yesterday morning, orders from their Owl Commercial Headquarters have surged, especially for spell scrolls and magic experience pages. Dozens of large orders came in yesterday, and all the scrolls in the headquarters warehouse in recent years have been stocked. Ordered out...]

No wonder there are no spell scrolls, even the scrolls at the Owl Headquarters have been robbed!

Are all rich people so crazy?

But after thinking about it carefully, Mu You understood.

These capital forces are not spending money indiscriminately. On the contrary, snapping up spell scrolls is one of the most profitable ways at present. Because equipment cannot be mass-produced, buying one piece is worth the value of one piece. However, magic can be copied in batches.

As long as you have spells and enough experience pages, you can upgrade a certain magic to LV5. Then, if you can get some magic teaching equipment, you can open a school on the earth and teach magic to other people in large quantities without any consumption. People, and the benefits that can be generated in this process are unimaginable!

[You ask the old cat store manager, when will new spell scrolls be available for sale? 】

[The old cat shopkeeper tells you that the production of spell scrolls is not easy. It requires a senior engraver with LV5 magic. It consumes a lot of experience pages and time to produce. Even the most skilled engraver needs a week to make a low-level engraver. High-level spell scrolls, intermediate and high-level scrolls will take longer. 】

["At this time next week, a batch of spell scrolls should be shipped. You can come in advance and wait and see, but please be prepared for an increase in the price of the goods. According to today's market conditions, the following spell scrolls and experiences The price of the book pages may increase by more than 50%." The old cat store manager revealed some internal information of the Chamber of Commerce to you because of your identity as a mysterious person. 】

"Next week..."

Mu You shook his head helplessly. He had no choice. The scrolls were sold out, and once a day became once a week, but at least there was still a chance to have sex for nothing. And it was a great honor for the store manager to tell him this kind of inside information.

As for the price increase, Mu You doesn't care, since he bought it for zero yuan anyway.

[The old cat shop owner noticed that you seemed to be paying special attention to the spell scrolls, so he suggested to you: "If you want to learn magic, the most affordable way is not to buy the scrolls, but to go to the magic academies in the imperial capital or several big cities to teach you. The cost of learning magic is only one-third of the price of the scroll, or even lower."]

The old cat shop manager gave him some good advice in the end, but it was a pity that this advice was useless to Mu You. No matter how low-cost magic was, it couldn't be as good as his free prostitution.

However, the other party also had good intentions. Muyou controlled the character to say goodbye politely, left the entrance of the village, returned to the watchman's hut, and then teleported directly to the imperial capital through the teleportation array in the hut.

[In the dizzy feeling of teleportation, you appear in the underground river of the imperial capital. 】

[You switched to the fortune teller skin and took a goblin submarine...]

[You drive the submarine into the jet tunnel, and under the influence of the huge jet, rush into the reservoir on the east side of the imperial capital...]

Muyou had experienced this part of the journey twice, so he didn't feel confused at this moment. After one operation, he successfully let the character drive the submarine through the river in the imperial capital and swam all the way to the commercial street he passed by before.

[You anchored at 'Four Leaf Street' in the center of the Imperial Capital and left the water and landed. 】

[Four Leaf Street is one of the oldest commercial streets in the entire empire. It is named because the entire street is shaped like a four-leaf clover, with its corners scattered in four directions, and it borders the four major magic academies in the imperial capital. . 】

[Many well-known brand stores in the star spirit world have branches on Siye Street. This is the most prosperous area in the entire imperial capital, bar none. However, the over-prosperous business has also caused the land prices here to increase day by day, indirectly leading to The products here are about 20%-30% higher than those in ordinary stores. 】

To Mu You's relief, the curfew in the imperial capital seemed to have been suspended, and the street was still open normally in the middle of the night.

[You switched to the mysterious man skin. 】

[You step into Siye Street and see the four shops closest to you on the front, back, left, and right. You choose to go...]

Five options: [Mrs. Lisa’s Robe Shop], [Magic Beauty Shop], [McDowns’ Wand Shop], [Prop Recycling Shop], and [Keep Moving Forward].

Mu You chose to 'keep moving forward', planning to explore all the nearby shops first.

It turned out that he had overthought it. This street was much bigger than imagined, with more than two hundred shops. He had just finished exploring one of the four leaves, and his energy was exhausted.

However, even among the more than thirty stores that have been identified, he has already discovered many store names that interest him very much.

Muyou controlled the character to take two steps back, and first entered a 'Cuckoo Owl Shop' on the left.

[You enter the Cuckoo Owl Shop, which is one of the only owl specialty stores on Yotsuba Street. Here, you can buy all the common species of owls on the market. 】

[Because of the distinguished status represented by your mysterious person skin, the clerk entertained you warmly. 】

[Accompanied by the clerk, you walked into the depths of the store and saw rows of bird cages displayed on the shelves, with an owl imprisoned in each cage. 】

[You saw Tawny Owl, Long-eared Owl, Barn Owl, Silver Owl, Brown Owl, Grass Owl...]

A large number of owl names popped up. Muyou clicked on the text one by one and checked the price and description.

Most affordable owls are sold for 15-20 years, and some of good condition or good varieties are sold for 20-40 years.

The most expensive one is indeed the silver owl.

The silver owls in this store, depending on their condition, are priced between 34 and 50 years old, more than twice as much as ordinary owls!

Seeing this, Mu You knew it.

In the star spirit world, although a creature can spend one year of its lifespan to be resurrected after being killed, not all the lifespan consumed can be obtained by the person who killed it.

To steal the lifespan of other creatures, two conditions need to be met:

First, the soul strength of the killed creature must be high enough. Soul strength is generally linked to body size. Those life forms that are too small, such as various non-Warcraft insects, ordinary grass plants, trees, etc., cannot gain lifespan even if they are killed.

Second, the creature to be killed must have sufficient predatory ability and aggressiveness. Mild creatures that have no attack ability or insufficient attack power cannot gain lifespan even if they are killed. For example, these owls, the donkey he brought back earlier, and even the chocobos are all neutral creatures. As domestic familiars, they will not participate in battles, and killing them will not count your lifespan.

The magic owl itself has a very short lifespan, only about five to ten years. In addition, the owl's food is small creatures such as insects, so it cannot gain lifespan through daily hunting.

Therefore, wizards buy owls, feed them with food, and provide them with life every year. The cost is not small.

But even so, wizards almost always have an owl, because owls are not only pets in the spiritual world, but also messengers and delivery persons.

Because of this, the silver owl is a necessity for these wizards, but it is not very attractive to humans. After all, the appearance is too similar to the owl of the earth, and the ability to send messages is not used on the earth.

The silver owl eggs Mu You obtained were not intended to be sold on Earth, but were intended to be sold in other worlds.

After understanding the price, Mu You ignored the clerk's request to stay, left the owl shop, and turned around and entered the 'Black Cat Magic Pet Shop' on the side. This was his real goal today.
