The next morning, Guo Kong reappeared in the basement.
After tidying up his appearance, Guo Kong quickly went out.
I went to look for a job as usual, and after being rejected as usual, I returned home again in the evening.
This time, Guo Kong didn't prepare dinner early.
He kept rummaging through several rooms filled with clutter.
Last night, Guo Kong already knew that in the Black Heart Temple, it was difficult to move forward without money, and even the initial skills could not be purchased.
The money in the temple is not the kingdom's currency, but spiritual coins containing spiritual energy.
It doesn't mean that there is really no way for mortals to enter it.
Under normal circumstances, the elves as assistants will assist with initial resources, allowing mortals to buy exercises and embark on the path of cultivation.
But unfortunately, the elf Wanda, who is Guo Kong's assistant, does not know whether it is born with a simple personality or has little experience. Its resources have long been exhausted by the previous magic walks, because three magic walks happened in a short period of time. Unable to survive even one mission, the elf's investment was completely in vain. Even the rent of the thatched house he rented was only supported by the support of several members of the same race.
The thatched house is one of the nodes that guides the path of evil. Many elves serve as guide elves. Only a small number of elves with special qualifications and talents can do other jobs, such as the sun elves in the elixir factory.
Wanda is just an ordinary flower elf. If she cannot pay the rent, it means losing her job as an assistant. She has no job, and because she has borrowed a lot of money similar to rent, the elf who is in debt will never die. It's just that they will change from labor workers to laborers without any wages.
For elves, labor is equivalent to slaves who have lost their freedom, which is completely unacceptable. Many elves are very hard-working.
Guo Kong had no complaints about the poor Wanda. According to the information he learned, there were some black-hearted elves in the Black Heart Temple who passed through the revolving door and trapped the demonic path to inherit the inheritance. Compared with those black-hearted elves who were always thinking about how to kill their master. Elf, Wanda is pretty good.
There is no assistant, and mortals are not really desperate. Many demon believers know that although the divine seals wandering outside the Black Heart Temple can be traded, most of those who "encounter" the divine seals have certain "talents". This kind of Talent does not just refer to cultivation talent.
The Demon Path chosen by the Black Heart Temple can be regarded as a talent in the general sense.
Many organizations will offer relatively good conditions to invest in newcomers.
However, those organizations are basically more black-hearted existences than the Black Heart Temple, and they might let their cultivation become someone else's wedding dress at some point.
Without the help of assistants and no desire to join the organization, I had no choice but to take on the task.
The tasks are divided into exploring ruins, attacking immortal cultivating forces, plundering certain resources, directly placing a bounty on the life of a certain immortal cultivator, etc.
There are no restrictions on the missions of the Black Heart Temple. Even if you are a mortal, you can take on the mission of killing the true immortal. If you succeed, you can reach the sky in one step. As for if you don't succeed, after you die, your soul will be drawn to the Black Heart Temple. It will be worse if you don't die, and your body will also suffer. Broken down into materials, this is the penalty for not completing the task.
Guo Kong neither wants to become cannon fodder for some demonic organizations, nor does he hope that he will be lucky enough to actually complete the mission of the Black Heart Temple and complete the initial accumulation.
Then he has only one way, and that is to search for valuable antiquities from his depleted family fortune and bring them in.
It's not impossible to bring them all in, but the shipping fee for this kind of transmission is calculated based on the pound. The shipping fee is not a spiritual energy tax, but must be paid immediately. Otherwise, all you can bring in is a set of ordinary clothes on your body.
In order to bring some antiquities in, Guo Kong spent all his efforts last night. He tried all kinds of ways to please him and tried to make a big deal out of it, but Wanda incurred another debt.
However, Wanda is easy to cheat, but her kin are obviously not stupid. Wanda's repayment credit has dropped sharply as he is about to go bankrupt. He only borrowed a small amount of 330 spirit coins through various misfortunes, which is only enough for him to carry thirty kilograms. Items go in.
In other words, even if there is an ancient artifact in Guo Kong's home that is a powerful treasure, he cannot bring it in because of the weight problem.
After selecting and selecting, Guo Kong spent several hours and selected ten ancient objects weighing about thirty kilograms.
Look at these ten ancient artifacts.
Guo Kong couldn't help but hesitate.
Before, when he looked at these ancient relics, he thought they were extraordinary. He had bought each of them through various channels at a huge price.
However, at this moment, everything he looked at looked like a fake.
If this time, the antiquities he brought in were not worth a lot of money, he couldn't buy the exercises to start practicing, and he couldn't care whether Wanda went bankrupt or not, but his ideals would definitely be bleak.
It's not that he doesn't have immortal cultivation techniques, but the techniques he collected are in no way comparable to the "genuine" techniques from the Black Heart Temple.
What are "genuine" exercises? It is said that every genuine exercise is a method that can lead to a true immortal. As long as you buy it layer by layer, the best way to become an immortal is paved.
Not only that, when you buy genuine exercises, there is also a talent test and the process of recommending related exercises.
As for the skills Guo Kong collected himself, not to mention the level of castration, the most feared thing is that they are full of errors and omissions, and because the innate attributes do not match, he cannot reach the limit of his talents.
The collected exercises are all "junk", which is why Guo Kong has never been possessed by the devil. He has had lofty ideals since he was a child. Without suitable exercises, he would rather waste his time than choose blindly.
His eyes swept over the extraordinary-looking ancient objects, and Guo Kong finally chose an inconspicuous gray stone.
This stone is far harder than any alloy Guo Kong has ever come into contact with. He has tried hundreds of methods but failed to smelt it.
I chose this ancient object not because it is the most extraordinary, but because this ancient object, even if it is not a rare treasure, may be regarded as a material used by immortal cultivators. Even if it cannot be sold for a big price, it can still earn hundreds of souls. The shipping cost of the coin is so that he can still have a choice.
After making the selection, he saw that it was getting late, so he didn't cook. He just ate some cold food and went into the bedroom.
The colorful light once again enveloped Guo Kong's body.
This time, maybe it was scanned that Guo Kong was holding a foreign object in his hand, and a message came out from the hill mark: The foreign object was transported more than twenty-nine kilograms, the rounding fee was 300 spirit coins, and the remaining balance was deducted 300 plus shipping tax 30, for a total of 330 spirit coins. , the balance is sufficient, and the transmission starts.
After another tumbling, Guo Kong fell into the thatched house again.
Before Guo Kong could come to his senses.
The voice of Elf Wanda reached my ears,
"How is it, is everything going well?
Give me this rare treasure quickly. This time, I will show those who look down on me that I, Wanda, am definitely not a labor reserve who cannot afford to pay back. "
Before Guo Kong could answer, Wanda's voice sounded even harsher than before,
"The rare treasure you are talking about is the stone in your hand?
A stone without any spiritual energy fluctuation?
It’s over, I, Wanda, am really done. "
As she said this, Wanda flew directly to the pillar in the dilapidated corner - the dead leaves mixed with the grass next to it. She held it with both hands and hit the leaves with her little head while moaning feebly.
"I'm so stupid, really. Four unlucky guys in a row defrauded me of all my wealth and left me in debt.
This time I can't stand up at all. From now on, I will say goodbye to Hua Xiang and become a ruthless sweat machine.
It's so miserable for me. I have been studying for decades since I was born. I only know a few dozen minor languages from thousands of human languages, and I also have to bear a lot of tuition debt.
It would have been nice if I had studied more seriously back then, been assigned to an area with many talented people, and followed a demon walker with a bright future.
Until now, I haven’t even bought a flower seed, let alone cultivate a flower of my own, let alone have my own garden. "
The more she talked, the sadder she became. It was during the difficult borrowing process last night that she became deeply aware of her situation and her impending future for the first time.
Feeling sad, Wanda couldn't help but shed her first tear since birth.
Wanda was so sad that Guo Kong couldn't care less.
Hearing Wanda's words, Guo Kong's heart dropped.
However, Guo Kong quickly cheered up.
He also knew that if the ancient objects really had spiritual energy fluctuations, it would not be something that the kingdom's money could buy.
Before Guo Kong could say anything.
After Wanda over there was sad, she seemed to think of something and immediately flew over happily.
"By the way, unlucky guy, no, Guo Kong, right? Although you are a mortal, usually there is no other way out except doing tasks, but I told you last night that you, a mortal without any cultivation, , and you can’t buy those psychic guns in the temple, so you will die if you do the mission.
I said last night that the Sword Flower Courtyard in Area 9 is a good place to go, not as good as...".
Guo Kong was speechless. Wanda had even forgotten what he had told him last night about how high the mortality rate was for walking on the magic path in the Jianhua Courtyard. He let him go there because he was probably not hoping to get an introduction fee or to talk about his own Selling oneself for money.
"Okay, it's impossible to go to the courtyard-level forces. Let's start the identification."
Guo Kong said.
“What, identify this stone?
Did you know that the appraisal fee is 1% of the temple's estimated value? It's not bad, but you forgot that there is a premise. The appraisal fee is at least 10 spirit coins. In other words, you appraise a magic weapon worth 1,000 spirit coins. It costs 10 spirit coins to purchase a device, and it also costs 10 spirit coins to identify a worthless item.
Are you going to increase my debt? "
Wanda was flying up and down excitedly.
However, after spending so much time last night, Guo Kong had already figured out Wanda's character. After a while, Wanda had the confidence to look forward to the future again, so Wanda flew out of the window.
This time, the borrowed spirit coins were not many, and Wanda came back soon.
Guo Kong watched Wanda struggling to find parts one by one from the pile of debris in the thatched house and assemble them into a disc with simple patterns. Wanda took out a small card and inserted several interfaces with intertwined patterns. .
Soon, the lines on the disc lit up, and the disc shimmered.
"Okay, put the stone, no, put the exotic treasure on it."
Putting away the card, Wanda looked expectantly at the gray stone in Guo Kong's hand.
Soon, one person and one elf looked at the disk nervously.
A few words that Guo Kong didn't recognize and a bunch of familiar numbers appeared in the dim light.
Looking at the large number, Guo Kong felt relaxed all over.
Then came Wanda's excited voice:
"Heaven-level item, suspected to be a fragment of the core of an extraterrestrial disaster beast, estimated at 500,000 spirit coins!"
