Chapter 18 New Decision
"I think it makes sense when you say this! In my childhood, there were many people around me (bodyguards), but I became more and more lonely! It's not lonely when you are alone, only when you are surrounded by many people In the middle, you find that there is no one who can connect with you, that is loneliness!..."
I was opened up to express my inner pain, but Rose's words almost made me lose my breath. "You turn out to be a miserable person too! Did you grow up in an orphanage? There are so many people there but people who don't care about each other are really pitiful!"
"no..."
I was interrupted before I could explain, and Rose actually threw herself into my arms and started crying. "Don't move! Let me rest for a while, just for a while!" I stopped trying to push her away at her words. "My family is not warm. My mother passed away very early, and my father found a stepmother. Both of them are the same devil. They don't like me at all, especially after the stepmother has a younger brother! The best thing for me is' Grandma, grandma, unfortunately, she also passed away a few years ago! But compared to you, I am much happier. Compared with life in the orphanage, I always have a grandma who loves me. ''Milk'!"
What is this! Why did I become an orphan for no reason! This little girl can really relate! its not right! Aren't we thinking about the issue of red names? Why has it turned into a complaint meeting? I quickly shook Rose awake, and she fell asleep comfortably! "Is there any mistake? Are the two of us off topic? We seem to be discussing the issue of red names!"
"Yes! It's strange! Why did he run away just as he was talking!"
"Don't worry about that. What are your plans now? Your reputation won't be washed away in the short term. What are you going to do?"
"It's still the same as before, following you to level up and do tasks to get a red name. Isn't that how we lived the past few days?"
"But the situation is a little different now. Although you have become famous, the remote and inaccessible areas you have been following me to since then are different now. My destination is Dragon Valley, and the previous section of this road is full of It's a mountainous area far away from the city, but the rest of the way is through dense cities. It's okay for you and me to run around in a crowd like this, but we will be chased by thousands of people. What should I do if I kill him?”
"Is it so scary?" Rose didn't seem to believe it. "If we don't mess with them, why are they chasing us?"
"This! There are many reasons. First, our red name must have killed people, so some defenders want to eliminate us for the sake of the people. Second, the avalanche we caused outside Izumo Castle buried several people alive. Thousands of people, these people will almost certainly not let us go. Besides, it is impossible for these people to practice alone. Everyone will have friends in and outside the game, and these people will become our enemies. Third, It is easy to explode equipment when a red-named person is killed. From what I know in the drama, when a red-named person dies, at least one or two items will be exploded. Players are generally easier to deal with than World of Warcraft, so it is much easier to kill a red-named person and explode equipment than to kill monsters. And it’s a good deal! Last but not least, not only does killing a red name not increase evil points, but it also gives reputation rewards. With so many reasons, are you still worried that we won’t be hunted down? Besides, you have also heard the system announcement. I am now recognized by the system. If the demon kills me, there will be a reward. I guess those professional bounty hunters have already started investigating us!"
"Then what should I do? It's over now! It's all you! I originally planned to become an angel that everyone admires based on my identity as a resurrection mage, but I didn't expect that this time the angel turns into a little witch!" I stared deliberately. Looking at Rose's head, she kept 'touching' her head as I watched her. "What are you looking at? Is there something on my head?"
"No! I just think it's time for your two demon horns to be repaired. They've grown longer again!"
"You!" A cup flew over and I dodged it. "Murder! You are going to increase the evil value!"
"Go! Don't you have a red name? If I kill you, you can clear your red name!"
"You are also famous. Just commit suicide!" The two people started fighting. Suddenly the door was pushed open and Ah Wei's head appeared beside the door. Awei was immediately dumbfounded when he saw us. At this time, I was lying on the ground and Rose was riding on me with two hands on my waist (we were originally tickling each other). "Ah! You are busy! I didn't see anything, You continue, you continue!" Ah Wei immediately closed the door and ran out.
"Come back!" I quickly got up and chased out. Rose, blushing, quickly got up and tidied up her appearance.
It was only after we recovered Ah Wei that we found out that this guy was here to send us information. "I just used the forum browsing function in the game to browse the forum, and the most popular post in it was the post about the avalanche incident between you two. Photos of both of you were actually posted!"
"What? Who sent it? How come there are photos of us?"
"It's the result of players taking screenshots, and there are also players who recorded the entire avalanche process."
"All of these?" Rose immediately opened the forum in the game and chose to display it to the public. I immediately saw the photo above. I was only photographed in one photo, but I was lying face down in a snowdrift and half of my body was buried in the snow. The only thing that could be identified was that my phantom cloak was spread out in a big piece. With such a photo, I guess no one could Can recognize me. But there were more roses, and the whole rose was taken in a series of photos and connected together like an animation! However, the rose was photographed while it was falling from a high altitude, and the figure was very blurry. I guess the focus was not adjusted properly in a hurry and it was difficult to catch moving objects!
"Hey! You look so funny!" Rose pointed at the photo of me lying in the snow.
"What can I do! If you have the ability, you can also do avalanche downhill. After being thrown up and down in the snow and rolled around, you will win if you still remember which is north!"
"Don't you have a teleportation ring?" Ah Wei reminded me. "Wouldn't it be over if you teleport directly to Dragon Valley?"
"Do you think I don't want to?" I said angrily: "First of all, Lucky, as a demon pet, doesn't know the concept of coordinates at all. He only knows how to get there but not the specific coordinates. Without coordinates, where do you want me to pass it? Besides, , the lucky memory of the drama, Dragon Valley is a completely forbidden area for magic. Not only can no magic be used, but a magic barrier has been set up to prevent all teleportation and return to the city!"
"That's all right! It's worthy of being the graveyard of level 1000 bosses!"
"Then how do we pass through the area where players gather?" Rose asked.
"Why don't you teleport in the general direction first, just past the areas where players are too dense?" Ah Wei gave me some advice.
"This can also be considered!" I finally decided. "That's it. Let's take the risk and try it out. But before that, I think we should level up first. This will at least be safer. The Dragon Valley is right there and it can't escape!"
After discussing the results, we left the room and prepared to go leveling. Ah Wei said he didn’t want to be a light bulb and ran away. It was just me and Rose again. "Where should we go to level up? You are familiar with this place, you decide!"
This is the truth. After all, Rose is just here for the first time. The "local" in me has to show off no matter what. "Come with me! I'll take you to shopping first!"
"What? Shopping? Are you okay?"
"I'm not sick!" I patted away Rose's hand on my forehead. "The ancients said: If a man wants to do good things, he must first sharpen his tools. Look at what you are wearing! I know that your level is not high and you have no money to buy equipment. I don't know if you are a member of the beggar gang!"
Rose looked at the khaki linen mage robe on her body. "It's nothing! What's the matter? I'm pretty good at where I was leveling before, but many people are not as good as me, especially our mage series players who spend a lot of money on mana. Do you know why there are so many mages? It's because of mages. It’s too expensive, usually one mage has to be supported by several warriors!”
"Is it that your place is particularly poor or is the whole game like this?" Why have I never found equipment to be so difficult to obtain! It seems that when I first started playing, I was a little short of starting capital, but it got better later! And I don’t seem to even use medicine very much!
"Do you think everyone is as lucky as you and loses all their lucky equipment?" Rose seemed to think this was unfair. "At that time, we often had to clear out the monsters on a hillside in one go to get a dozen pieces of 'chaotic' equipment, and a large part of them were unusable! Because there were too many races and professions, it was difficult to find them. I use the same equipment and the equipment is divided into men and women. Although you can go to the NPC blacksmith to change the gender requirements of the equipment, but it costs money! Do you think it is just a thing that you can put on your body? Let me tell you, in addition to rings, bracelets, and protective gear, Everything except heart mirrors, necklaces and other jewelry and various weapons have strict racial and occupational gender requirements!"
"Is this an exaggeration? But there are no racial restrictions on my equipment?" I remember that the Dark Demon Dragon suit has no requirements at all! Not only are there no race, gender, or job requirements, there are no basic strength levels or anything like that. It seems that anyone who is a player can use it!
"Impossible! You may have just not paid attention. It's impossible to have equipment that doesn't require anything at all!"
"You don't believe it? I'll take you to see it!" I took Rose and ran towards Clark.
Rose shouted from behind: "Aren't you going to take me to change equipment?"
"It doesn't matter! We're on the way, we're all together anyway!"
Along the way, Rose looked around curiously. "The buildings here are so majestic! The city I used to level up in is like a countryside compared to this one! But why are all the shops here closed?"
"That's to block the sun!" I said as I hurried towards Clark. The inn was not far from Clark's store. I opened the store door myself, pulled Rose in and then closed the door.
Rose looked curiously at the empty store. "Shall we come in like this?"
"It's okay, I know the boss here very well!" I closed the door and directly took Rose to the studio on the second floor.
As expected, Clark was repairing my magic dragon suit inside. Clark stood up quickly when he saw me coming in: "Why are you back? Who is this?"
"Blood red rose!" Hello Rose stretched out her hand to express friendship.
Clark didn't shake hands with her at all. Instead, he found a sword and pointed it in front of him. Depend on! He actually performed a knighthood! Why didn't I see you so polite when I came here? "My name is Clark, and I am the boss here. Ziri is my brother. If my brothers and sisters need anything, just ask!" Dizzy! What kind of NPC is this!
"Don't make trouble! I have business with you!" I took out a lot of tetrahedron-shaped ice cubes from the space bracelet. "Didn't you ask me to collect materials before? This time I spent four or five days killing on the snowy mountains and got a lot of these things." I poured all the ice cubes on the workbench next to me. "I have identified it and it is a black ice crystal core. I remembered that this thing was in the catalog of acquisition materials you gave me, so I got it back for you!"
Clark picked one up and looked at it carefully, until his eyes almost popped out of his head. "That's right! It's indeed a black ice crystal core. Having this thing can guarantee that everything will be foolproof when practicing weapons."
"Foolproof?" Rose also picked up one. "I used to know a player who knew how to repair equipment. Although he was a low-level player and could only repair equipment, he said that the equipment could easily explode during the repair and refining process. Even if you are an NPC and have a high success rate, your success rate will not reach 100%! "
"This is what's special about it! The biggest role of the black ice crystal core is as a forced stop material when refining weapons and equipment. If the equipment is about to explode in the fire, you can add a black ice crystal core to it, and it can instantly Freeze the entire furnace and slowly melt it to ensure that the equipment inside is intact and re-refined. So as long as there are enough black ice crystal nuclei, even if you try your luck, you will always succeed. How many have you collected this time?"
I pointed to the table: "That's it, about a dozen!"
Clark said slightly disappointed: "That's it! It would be nice if there were more!"
"That's good! These things were revealed by the level 370 Snow Mountain Demon King. I only have this level. This guy is almost 0 levels higher than me. Every time we encounter it, we first lighten the surrounding monsters. Then I kept harassing him until I consumed him to death, thanks to the super nurse Rose! Otherwise, I would have to go around when I saw it!"
"I'm too greedy! But this thing is so good, you should collect more in the future! This time I will buy it for 500 crystal coins each."
"Of course! How could I give up such a valuable thing!"
"Ah! You...! It's too scary!" Rose opened her mouth in surprise, but unfortunately her little cherry mouth could only open so wide! "You two casually went out with five or six thousand crystal coins?"
"What are you doing? I still owe 150,000 crystal coins for this!"
