[The store manager Laomao placed the six items in the cabinets, then opened the window and started today’s sales...]
The moment the sales started, Mu You also used his hand speed to great effect and clicked on a product as quickly as possible.
[You purchased the 'Holy Light Spell Scroll'...]
After successfully grabbing the first scroll, Mu You quickly clicked on learn and then backtracked.
[Time goes by, and you reach out to touch the scroll again. Unfortunately, this time your hand is a little slower, and the shelf is empty. 】
The response was a little slower the second time, but it didn't matter. I continued to backtrack. After three consecutive times, I clicked successfully again.
【You have learned the 'Holy Shield Technique'. 】
After acquiring two spells, there was also a book page, and Mu You had no intention of letting it go.
There were a lot of people staring at the pages, so it was a little harder to grab them.
After going back more than a dozen times, I finally got it successfully.
[You purchased the 'Low-level light system experience book page', the lifespan is -8, and the remaining lifespan is 1391 years. 】
There was no need to retrace the book pages. All three scrolls were completed, and the others were equipment. Mu You was not interested, so he left the scene directly with the book pages, returned to the cabin, and upgraded the spell.
He now has six light spells: Quick Repair, Illumination, Meal Making, Arcane Missile, Holy Light, and Holy Shield. They have surpassed the life spell and become the department with the most magic he knows.
Mu You first released the Holy Light and Holy Shield ten times on the spot, upgrading two new spells to LV2, and then used the pages of the book to upgrade all six spells to LV3.
After the upgrade was completed, Mu You went into the space to try out the effects.
As a result, most of the spells only slightly increased the power of their original effects. For example, the repair spell had a wider repair range, the magic bread made by the meal making spell was sweeter, and so on.
Among the several spells, the only one that has truly undergone a qualitative change is Arcane Missile.
The level 2 arcane missile still shoots out one 100-damage missile. After being upgraded to LV3, the damage is not increased, but the number of missiles is increased. Three 100-damage missiles can be fired at a time, randomly crashing into nearby enemies. Can be used to break invisibility, and the cooldown has been reduced to 9 seconds.
And two new spells.
LV3 Holy Light can instantly restore 300 points of life to a target, or cause 300 points of damage to an undead unit instantly, with a cooldown time of 54 seconds.
The level 3 Holy Shield has the same numerical value as Holy Light, except that restoring life changes to giving the target a Holy Shield that can absorb 300 points of damage. Before the Holy Shield is broken, the target will not be harmed or suffer harmful effects. The magic effect lasts for 30 seconds and has a cooling time of 54 minutes.
Both are low-level magics, so the values are not very high. There is nothing much to say about the Holy Light spell. Before encountering the undead, it is a pure recovery spell. The advantage is that it can be used instantly and can be used by the opponent. The disadvantage is that the cooldown is too long, once a minute, and it can basically only be used for emergencies.
The effect of the Holy Shield is quite impressive. While the Holy Shield lasts, you can avoid suffering from all negative conditions. This is actually very useful in actual combat, but the disadvantage is that the cooldown is too long. The cooldown can last up to one hour, even if you use refresh. The badge can only be used twice in a battle.
Mu You was in a good mood after acquiring two practical magic spells at once.
Seeing that the time had passed twelve o'clock, he put on his watchman skin and went out to complete his life-span task as usual.
Wandering to the park at the entrance, Mu You continued to play fish on his mobile phone.
[After a period of dizziness, you came to the forest priest's hut. 】
[Leave the hut, ride a hippogryph and start patrolling the Elf Forest...]
He now has four daily life tasks: a daily potion for the herb collector, a daily blood suck for the vampire, a watchman's patrol, and a patrol in the Elf Forest.
The first three of them are tasks without any cost: he refines potions every day, he has gargoyles to automatically transfuse blood for him to suck blood, and although the watchman's patrol takes an hour, as long as no one is outside the house during this hour, he will be able to do it. However, he can still do his own thing, and it actually doesn't take up any of his time.
These three tasks are equivalent to giving him three years of life in vain every day, which is almost enough to offset his lifespan of flying around and being swallowed by the dark teleportation array every day.
The only thing that has a cost is the patrol mission in the Elf Forest. Although riding a hippogryph during the mission will not consume the game's physical strength, but he teleports back to the Elf Forest every day, which also consumes one year of life. In terms of lifespan, it is the same. An increase and a decrease equals no profit.
However, Mu You will still try his best to complete this task every day, mainly for the 100 points of reputation each time. This is the only way for him to obtain the reputation of the forest elves at the moment.
After fishing outside for an hour, the two patrol missions were completed at the same time.
Mu You continued the game and controlled the character to find the teleportation array in the forest.
Now he is going to explore the territory of the Sun Elf and get his new house there.
Going to the territory of the daylight elves is more troublesome. You need to take the teleportation array to the main city of the forest elves, Emerald City, and then transfer from Emerald City to Phoenix City.
Fortunately, Mu You's reputation in the Elf Forest is high enough now, and he feels as free as home in the forest, and he can also ride on the teleportation array for free.
Half an hour later, Mu You finally arrived at the new map.
【You have come to Phoenix City! 】
[Phoenix City is the main city of the Sunlight Elf Clan. It is located in the southwest of the Star Spirit World and on the archipelago north of the Extreme Day Mountains. It is led by the Sunshine Family. It has sufficient light, is beautiful and rich, and is one of the oldest ancient cities in the Star Spirit World. One, it is also the only phoenix-producing place in the star spirit world. 】
[As soon as you walked out of the teleportation array, you were surrounded by several Sun Elf guards, each holding a shield and a long sword, pointing their blades at you. 】
[There is no need to wonder about the attitude of the elves. In the Forest of Elves, you are a respected guest, but here, you are just an unwelcome stranger. 】
[The headed elf guard stares at you warily, asking about your purpose and identity. 】
As expected, he was surrounded by the other party as soon as he arrived, and Mu You didn't care. After all, his favorability was still indifferent. It was good that he came so suddenly and didn't expel him directly from the city.
[You truthfully explained to the other party your identity as a peripheral member of the Forest Elf Ranger, and explained the fact that you were invited by Princess Salina. 】
[After checking your 'temporary residence certificate', the elf guard believed your words, pointed out the location of the house for you, and then ignored you. 】
[Do you want to leave immediately? 】
"no."
Mu You was not in a hurry to leave. He was just looking for a house on the way. His main purpose was to come here to do a mission.
Mu You clicked on the text of 'Elf Guard' and tried to interact with him.
[You lingered in front of several elven guards, refusing to leave, which made several of them frown. The leading guard asked you if you had anything else to do. 】
[You take the opportunity to tell the other person that you want to find something to do, and ask the other person if there is any suitable job for you. 】
[The leader of the elf guard thought for a moment after hearing this, and did not assign any work to you, but still gave you some additional information: "The guard work in the city is already full, and such important work will not accept outsiders. Apply... However, you can go to the south of the city to find Chief Eric, who should be near your residence. He is currently having trouble with the rat infestation outside the city, and may give you a job."]
"Rat infestation?"
Mu You didn't quite understand why the rat infestation outside the city caused a headache, but since the other party said so, there must be a reason, so he should go and take a look first.
[You stepped into Phoenix City and were shocked by the scenery here. 】
[The beautiful scenery of Phoenix City and the rich magic in the air are far better than the words sung by the bards. This ancient city blessed by the sun elves with spring-like seasons is a paradise for all spellcasters. 】
[Phoenix City is dotted with golden-red maple trees, and the overall architectural tones are mainly gold and red. Even at night, the town is brightly lit by various luminous plants and magic lamps. Through the golden leaves above your head, you can see the elegant and gorgeous floating lofts in the city through the gaps. The city is dotted with expensive magic crystals and various magic buildings. Brooms with cleaning spells are constantly sweeping dust on the streets to ensure that the streets of this city are always spotless. 】
[You follow the direction pointed by the elf guard, pass through the beautiful scenery all the way to the south of the city, and quickly find your house. 】
[It is a pointed stone house, located in an inconspicuous corner of this street, with a small courtyard of a few square meters in front of the door. The overall style is the same as the surrounding buildings, covered with golden-red exterior bricks. 】
[You step forward, and the simple magic lock on the door detects the residence certificate in your hand and opens automatically. 】
[You walk into the house and take a look. In a space of about 50 square meters, there are simple facilities such as beds, tables and chairs. The dust-free ground and the potted plants placed in front of the windowsill indicate that there were people living here not long ago...]
Phoenix's new home seemed pretty good based on the description, at least it wasn't the prison-style dormitory he was assigned at the academy.
The first thing Mu You did when he entered the house was to put down a teleportation array on the spot, which was regarded as opening the teleportation point of this new map.
After briefly placing the things, Mu You controlled the character to go out to find the so-called guard chief.
His house is located in a remote location, but the advantage is that it is very close to the city gate, making it easy to get out of the city.
[You come to the south gate of the city and see a daylight elf patrolling the gate with a torch in front of you. Judging from the sign on his chest, he is the guard chief Eric you are looking for. 】
[You walked up to Eric and told him why you were here, expressing your hope to take over the next job from him. 】
[When Eric heard this, he was quite happy for your arrival. He does have a headache that needs foreigners to do. 】
[In the winding mountain pass ten miles south of the city, more than ten rat men have recently appeared. Ratmen are cunning and greedy creatures with extremely strong reproductive capabilities. If left unchecked, their numbers will quickly double. Over time, they will definitely pose a threat to ordinary residents of Phoenix City. 】
[Nowadays, the main army of the Sun Elves is not in the city, and the Sun Elves are a race that is good at fighting during the day. Their strength and vision will be greatly weakened at night. However, the Ratmen only wander around late at night, encountering the Sun Elves' sentinel team. They will also actively hide and avoid, so they need foreigners who will not be affected by the night to help them deal with this rat infestation. 】
[Congratulations, you triggered the limited-time mission 'Rat Pest in the South of the City'. 】
[Task content: Within two days, clean up the rat den located in the winding mountain pass south of the city. 】
[Task reward: 100 Sunlight Elf reputation points. 】
【Whether to accept? 】
"It turned out to be such a rat problem..."
Mu You looked at the game text. The task was to clean up a dozen ratmen and give them 100 reputation.
The Sunlight Elf's strength will decline at night, but he will not. Instead, his active period is at night, and this task can be considered a professional counterpart.
"accept."
Mu You decisively accepted the task, then opened the panel and took a look at his physical strength.
I had just done some shopping, plus exploring all the way to Phoenix City, and my 18 points of energy was already exhausted.
However, Mu You decided to continue to go out of the city for a look, because night was the prime time for him to do this kind of combat mission, and he had to go in again tomorrow and had no time to deal with these chores, so it was best to finish it directly this night.
[You ride the chocobo and leave the city gate, rushing to the winding mountain pass...]
The distance of ten miles was very short. After about five minutes, Mu You arrived at the place.
[You have entered the Huixing Pass. 】
[The mountain roads here are slippery and steep, and the valleys are filled with poisonous miasma. Chocobos cannot run, so you need to move forward on foot. 】
After entering the leveling area, the mount cannot be used, and he needs to burn his lifespan to explore on foot.
Fortunately, the Rat Man was not that hard to find. After spending four points of energy, the first Rat Man appeared.
[You encountered a rat archer carrying a quiver! 】
[Ratman Archer (Level 10): Attack power 35-49, defense power 5, health value 2600, magic value 0, ability: Flame Arrow. 】
[The rat-man archer noticed you, immediately raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an explosive magic flame arrow at you. 】
It was just a level 10 rat man, so there was no difficulty. Mu You directly controlled the character to charge forward.
[You used phantom to avoid the flaming arrows and appeared behind the rat man, with the vampire claws piercing the opponent's leg bone. 】
[You released the life drain and started a close combat with the rat man. 】
[The Rat Man is no match for you at all, and his health continues to be drained, and soon his health drops to less than half...]
[The rat man suddenly abandoned you and ran away! 】
[Although rat men are humanoid monsters that walk upright, they still can't get rid of the habit of being as timid as rats. Once their health drops below half, they will run away at all costs. 】
"Will you still run away?"
Mu You was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, monsters become more ferocious the more health they have. This was the first time he had seen a monster that ran away with only half health.
Without any time to think, he hurriedly clicked the chain claw.
[You used the telescopic chain claw to catch the escaping rat man. 】
[You used the bone-crushing knife and chopped it on the rat man's leg. The rat man fell into a disabled state, his movement speed was greatly reduced, and he could only be killed by you in desperation. 】
[However, before dying, the rat man suddenly let out a shrill scream. This sound passed through the valley and brought out layers of echoes throughout the mountain pass. 】
[This is the way the ratmen call their companions. I think other ratmen will come to take revenge on you soon. Do you want to leave before you are surrounded? 】
"no!"
The rat man seemed to be calling for help, so that was just the right time. He would just wait for the rat man to appear and catch them all, which would save him having to burn out his energy to find them one by one.
[You kill the rat man, your life span is +1, your experience value is +10, and you get 'rat man's left ear'*1. 】
[Rat Man Left Ear: Useless rat man material, it can only prove that you killed a rat man. 】
Mu You collected the materials casually, summoned the war eagle tree man and other summons, and prepared to face the enemy on the spot.
Within seconds, new text popped up in the game.
[You hear rustling sounds coming from the nearby grass, coming from all directions, and they are constantly approaching you. 】
[Through the perspective of the war eagle, you can see clearly that there are rat assassins and rat archers surrounding you from all directions. There are at least two hundred of them. 】
"Two hundred?"
Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it. Only a dozen of them were promised? Why do so many appear suddenly?
[A large number of rat archers fired flaming arrows at you. 】
[You immediately turned invisible and wanted to escape, but unfortunately you were unable to hide under the dense fire arrow covering attack. Soon, your health points were emptied by the flames. 】
[You have died, lifespan -1, experience value -10. 】
"Damn, you're cheating!"
Mu You said that it had been a long time since he died so simply, and hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.
However, after several attempts to run away, the results were the same. The fire arrows of this group of rat men were too high in damage, and they were still cooperative. Even the invisibility and teleportation were useless. They couldn't escape, and they were doomed to die this time.
【You were resurrected at the last intersection. A large number of ratmen from behind are rushing towards you again, you choose...]
[You chose to run away immediately, which was a wise decision. 】
After leaving the mountain pass, Mu You rode his chocobo back the same way. He was going to go to the guard chief and have a good talk. Giving him 100 reputations for such a difficult task was too stingy.
[You galloped all the way back outside Phoenix City. 】
[Guard Chief Eric saw you returning in a state of embarrassment so quickly, and hurriedly ran over to ask you what happened. your choice……】
[You exaggerate what happened just now. 】
[Eric was shocked after hearing this. The rat-men reproduced far faster than he imagined and must be eliminated as quickly as possible. 】
[Eric changed the mission time limit to one day and changed the mission reward to 200 reputation, asking you to set out as soon as possible to deal with the rat people. your choice……】
[You categorically rejected Eric’s request! 】
Mu You certainly has a way to deal with more than two hundred ratmen, but he must get enough reward before taking action. He would rather spend the 200 reputations on beggars.
