Watching the two people walking away outside the window, Mu You hesitated for a moment whether to send War Eagle to follow.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. The two of them were very vigilant, and if they arranged to follow, they might be exposed.
Shaking his head, Mu You returned to the game.
Over in the underground city, the blocked path on the second floor had been dug out last night, and the new power furnace on the old goblin's side had also been completed.
The ancient energy conversion furnace is essentially an ancient power furnace. It can only output the maximum power limit of the ancient power furnace, but now it can add violent energy other than magic crystals.
This thing + the forest core is equivalent to a pseudo-perpetual motion machine, which can not only provide kinetic energy for his mecha skin, but can also be used in the alchemy factory to directly supply energy to the entire factory.
With the power furnace in hand, Mu You drove the mecha that night and cleaned out the bottom boss on the second floor.
The boss on the second floor is just the opposite of the first floor. It is an ice monster. The drops are the same as those on the first floor, a purple sky suit, an evolution gem, 10,000 experience books and 50 points of permanent ice resistance.
Evolution gems require level 5 of the blacksmith shop to be used, so for the time being I can only look at them. What is really useful is the experience book.
With two consecutive 10,000 experience books, plus the daily salary these days, Mu You's experience bar has once again achieved a breakthrough and has been upgraded to level 17.
His current level and attributes are: level 17 (7215/163840), strength 28, agility 56, intelligence 84, constitution 32, free attributes 2, health 7200, and magic value 12400.
As for the land reclamation on the third floor of the dungeon, it hasn’t started yet.
The main reason is that the difficulty of the dungeon becomes higher as you go down. The first level requires players of level 10 or above to be able to stably conquer it, the second level requires players of level 13 or above, and the third level is estimated to require players of level 15 or above to be eligible to enter.
The number of players who can reach this level is already very small, and they are all still waiting for Mother Bailong to "feed" them. Without a guide, they will never start the game easily.
Therefore, the advancement of the third floor has temporarily stalled.
There's no rush for this, and Mu You's current focus is outside Sky City.
After many days of cruising, Auroville finally arrived at its destination, the Cook Islands, yesterday morning.
After drifting on the sea for half a month, arriving on a new map for the first time is very new to the players.
After arriving yesterday, many people were already eager to go down to the city to explore.
However, according to feedback from posts on the forum, this new map seems a bit strange. Many people are suddenly attacked while walking on the road, and then they are either bewitched, or have their waists and things stolen. The murderer is still not found.
In short, this new map seems to be full of traps. Many players left happily, only to return with dissatisfaction in the end. Very few came back with benefits from this area.
After dying several times and making no progress, many players will naturally give up exploring. Their physical strength and lifespan are not worth wasting here.
Many netizens who have been cheated have made various appeals on the forum: Never go to the Cook Islands out of curiosity. You will definitely lose or make money on this map!
There are even some radical ones who are already calling for Auroville to go to war against the Cook Islands!
Of course, it is impossible to start a war. Now is the golden age of the development of Sky City. Fighting is a lose-lose approach. Moreover, starting a war without sufficient reasons will greatly reduce the evaluation of the city owner. Those calling for war may not be Li Ming. city people.
Mu You asked Dawn City to stop on the sea one mile away from the Cook Islands, then left the city and set foot on the islands below in person.
This place is where the Undead Society is entrenched. He had promised the little girl to help her save her sister, and this place also had something to do with the shadow ghost in him. Even if it was really a dragon's den and a tiger's den, he had to come and break into it.
[The Cook Islands, a chaotic land located east of the Langel Empire, consists of a main continent and more than thirty peninsulas connected to the periphery. It is said that this place is the boundary between life and death, so the sky here is always covered by clouds and there is no sunshine. 】
[The closed environment has led to people here having conservative beliefs, poor information, and extreme xenophobia. Many people will never leave their place of residence. At the same time, almost every household grows poisonous weeds and raises poison seedlings for self-protection. Neighboring countries all refuse to do business with here. , causing this place to become increasingly closed. 】
[You appear in Wutou Village, one of the 98 villages in this chaotic land. 】
[You are walking on the streets of the village, and the villagers around you are looking at you indifferently. You want to go up and ask something, but no one is willing to talk to you, and they all go away. 】
【You have no choice but to move on. 】
[While passing through an alley, you were suddenly attacked from behind by two pairs of hands and pushed to the ground. 】
[By the time you struggled to get up, the attacker had already fled. 】
[You check your body and find that nothing is missing, but there is something extra. 】
[You have been planted with the 'Heart-Eating Gu'. 】
[Heart-eating Gu: A type of monster Gu. It devours 1 health point of the victim every second. It stops devouring when the victim's health is less than 100. 】
[Once the magic voodoo is planted, it will be integrated with the human body. Even if you are resurrected after death, the voodoo will also be resurrected unless you take the initiative to remove the voodoo. There are two ways to remove the poisonous insects. One is to violently remove the poisonous insects yourself. However, if you do not have enough experience in removing the poisonous insects, the poisonous insects will permanently devour 100 of your life limit while being eliminated. The second is to look for the 'poison hunters' that can be found everywhere in the Cook Islands. As long as you pay a small price in life, they can take out the voodoo bugs for you without any sequelae. 】
Good guy!
Mu You originally thought that the scamming rumors on the forum were exaggerated, but he didn't expect them to come true so quickly. He was tricked as soon as he arrived on the island. However, he was not bitten, but was planted with a poisonous insect.
It devours one point of health every second, and will automatically stop when the health is too low. The effect of this thing is not strong, and it can be easily offset by installing any health-recovery equipment.
However, when I think of a bug crawling inside my body at any time, I still feel very uncomfortable, and I subconsciously want to take it out.
And forcibly removing the insects will permanently deduct the upper limit of life. Although it is only an inconspicuous 100 points, it is the upper limit after all. If you reduce it, it will be less. What's more, if he can be poisoned once now, he may be infected many times in the future. If The upper limit is reduced every time, and no amount of blood bar is enough to reduce it.
From this point of view, once you have been poisoned, you can only go to the so-called "poison maker" to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
Forcibly poisoning people and then forcing them to spend money is obviously a chain of interests and a routine.
Mu You shook his head. In fact, he could go back and avoid being poisoned at this time, but there was no rush. He was going to take this opportunity to figure out the situation here first.
[You grabbed a passing villager because you were possessed by a poison and asked him where you could find the 'poison person'? 】
[The villagers enthusiastically pointed the way for you and personally took you to the nearest home of the person who took the poison. 】
"Tsk, tsk."
Mu You's eyes twitched, and he wouldn't say anything unless he was bewitched. It was just so realistic.
[You come to the home of a person who is collecting voodoos and ask him what the price is for removing voodoos? 】
[The old man who took the poison glanced at your outfit and raised ten fingers at you: Once you take the poison, you will live ten years! 】
【your choice……】
[You chose to turn around and leave! 】
Mu You thought that this guy was watching other people download the album. It's a pity that fools have such a convenient communication tool like forums.
The information brought back by the land reclamation team yesterday had already been made public on the forum. It was clear that the poison was removed once every five years. But when I came here and saw that he had good equipment, I wanted to secretly double it. It's not that easy.
This ghost place is full of poison seekers, and the most fearless thing is to sit on the ground and raise prices.
[The decisiveness with which you turned around made the other party realize that his behavior of raising prices has been exposed. He hurriedly stopped you and corrected the price: once every 5 years! 】
The price was corrected back, but it still took five years. This lifespan cannot be wasted, Mu You is also planning to get some information.
[You agreed to the price for the poison, but at the same time you asked a question, and the transaction can only proceed after the other party answers. 】
[Your question is: Where is the location of the Society of the Undead? 】
This is the main purpose of Mu You coming here: to find the Society of the Undead and find information about Sister Ye Rumeng and Shadow Ghost. As for the aboriginal people in this place, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them at all.
[The poison collector's face changed slightly when he heard your question, and he waved his hands hurriedly, indicating that he was just a poison collector and could not answer the question. The residents in the village had a clear division of labor and each performed his or her own duties. It was not that he could not earn his own money. But you can ask the beggars in the village. The beggars know everything in this area. As long as you give a small reward, they will tell you a lot of information. 】
"emmm..."
Mu You had a strange look on his face. He didn't expect that a small and broken village would be very particular about making only what he should earn.
[The voodoo man inserts a tong into your body and takes it out after a few seconds. There is already an eight-legged voodoo stuck in the jaws of the tongs. When the voodoo is exposed to the air, it immediately dies whiningly. In the tongs It turns into coke and breaks into pieces. 】
[Your lifespan is -5 years, and the worms in your body disappear. 】
After taking care of the Gu worm, Mu You didn't talk nonsense to them anymore and immediately went out to find the beggar.
As a result, when I went out, I discovered that the poisonous incident just now was just the tip of the iceberg here.
[You see a golden treasure box placed on the roadside, unattended. 】
[Driven by greed, you stepped forward to open the treasure box, only to find that the treasure box was empty. 】
[When you opened the treasure chest, a bug wormed its way into your body along your fingers. 】
[You have been planted with the 'Money Keeping Gu', which will reduce your lifespan by an additional day every day. 】
"Backtrack!"
…
[You continue on your way, and suddenly you see a kind old woman standing at the intersection ahead, holding a food basket in her hand. 】
[The old lady saw you, smiled and waved to you. When you approached, she took out a fragrant snack from the food basket: "My child, you are hungry on the road, come and eat something."]
[If you take the snack and eat it, your physical strength will increase by 1 point. 】
[You didn’t notice that there was a Gu worm mixed in the snack, and you ate it together. You have been planted with the 'Gluttony Gu', which doubles your hunger rate. 】
[You ask for help, and the old lady looks at you apologetically and says that she forgot to wash her hands when making snacks at noon and accidentally got the poisonous insects mixed in. But you don’t have to worry, she knows a cheap poison removal specialist that only takes 3 years. life……】
"Backtrack!"
…
[You find a man following you sneakily, as if he wants to steal your things. You stop and turn around, exposing him in public. 】
[Unexpectedly, this person became so angry that he rushed towards you angrily, and even wanted to rob you on the street. You choose...]
[You choose to counterattack, use several magic shots, and kill the opponent on the spot. 】
[You kill the 'Gu Feeder', your life span is +1. You are infected with the Fury Gu and will become impulsive and irritable all the time. 】
[Voodoo feeder: He has planted a variety of voodoos in his body since he was a child and feeds the voodoos on his body. Those who kill them will randomly obtain one of their voodoos. 】
"Backtrack!"
…
[You see a young woman standing by a well on the street, anxiously asking you for help, saying that her old man has just accidentally fallen into the well and asks you to help save him. If she can be rescued, she is willing to give her life. 】
[You stepped forward to help and leaned over to look into the well. However, the well was empty. It was a dry well. There was no one around. 】
[You suddenly felt a push coming from behind you. You were pushed into the well, and a Gu insect took the opportunity to get into your body. 】
[You have been poisoned by poisonous poison. When you are poisoned, the poisonous damage will be doubled. 】
"Looking back..."
…
Mu You didn't expect that just to find a beggar, he would experience so many deceptive incidents along the way, which made him fully feel how malicious this place is to outsiders.
Of course, some of the signs of the incident were relatively obvious, but Mu You relied on his pocket watch to check all the pitfalls, so that he could provide information to the strategy team later so that others would not be deceived again.
Mu You originally thought that the aboriginal people here would be afraid or disgusted if he brought a city's population over, but now it seems that is not the case at all. In the eyes of the people here, he probably sent a city's fat sheep here. .
No matter how chaotic other cities in the Star Spirit Realm are, most of the ordinary residents are lawful, but this place is filled with evil people!
Of course, the fourth natural disaster is not something to be trifled with. Players are good at finding bugs, and once they find a loophole, they can exploit it.
All I can say is that people in this place had better not let them find bugs, otherwise the enthusiasm of tens of millions of players will bring the backward social system here to collapse in minutes!
[You see a beggar near the edge of the village. 】
[When the beggar sees you approaching, he is like seeing a piece of walking gold. He runs towards you hurriedly and asks you what you want to know. He has grown up begging on this island since he was a child and is very familiar with everything here. , as long as there is a small reward, he will tell you everything! 】
Beggar, this career setting should be the same as the scarecrow in Anning Village. You can spend money to buy information on the current map.
Mu You first confirmed that this was indeed an NPC, not a player, and then the interaction started.
[Rich adventurer, what do you want to know? Due to the restrictions of village rules, the same beggar can only answer you one question at most every day. After all, he has to leave some jobs for other colleagues. 】
[1. Ask why there are no shadows under the feet of people here. Requires 30 years of life. 】
[2. Ask why you can’t see any children here. Requires 15 years of life. 】
[3. Ask about ways to permanently control poisonous insects. Requires 100 years of life. 】
[4. I am not interested in any of the above. I want to spend money to buy additional information]
Mu You was stunned for a moment after reading the text. There were no shadows under the feet of the people here?
He really hadn't noticed this, because the place was covered by clouds and the shadow was not obvious, and the text of the previous incident did not specifically mention this.
But the mention of shadow immediately reminded him of shadow ghosts. Shadow ghosts seemed to be born from shadows. Could it be that all the shadows of people in this place were used to create shadow ghosts?
