Starting From Zero

Chapter 84 The Forgotten Corner

I interrupted him and said: "Compared to this, I have a task that should be completed first. You must be interested. "

"What mission?" The Son of Night asked curiously.

"Demon pet mission."

"Magic pet?" The child of the night's eyes lit up when he heard the magic pet. "What kind of mission is it? Can a person like me be given a magic pet?"

The biggest gimmick of the game "Zero" may be the complicated magic pet system, but the biggest shortcoming of the character Night Child is that he does not have the capacity to carry magic pets. Almost every profession in this game has a magic pet that matches its profession, which has become a professional symbol like the Taoist priest's robe and the mage's staff.

Physical attack professions generally have one to three familiars. Knights' familiars usually have one mount, and the others are either combat auxiliary or active offensive ones. Occupations such as wizards and priests generally have two to four pets, most of which are auxiliary or thick-skinned defensive types. Archers usually have two to three magic pets, mostly auxiliary types, and a few also have high-sensitivity mounts or reconnaissance type magic pets. Occupations such as assassins and thieves generally carry one or two small reconnaissance familiars or auxiliary familiars with invisibility and camouflage abilities. These configurations have become necessary equipment for players, but Son of the Night does not have a magic pet, which has become an eternal pain in his heart. After joining our guild, the Night Child also brought three creatures with him because of the guardian beast. However, the guardian beast is not a magic pet after all, and the degree of freedom is too small, which still cannot make up for this shortcoming.

I looked at Son of the Night with a smile: "If nothing happens, it shouldn't be a problem to find one or two magic pet positions for you."

Ye Zhizi said excitedly: "You don't need one or two, just one."

"Don't worry, as long as there is a way, I will help you fight for the best interests. Anyway, the more the merrier!"

"It makes sense." Lima, the Son of the Night, stood up: "Shall we go now?"

"Ah? Go now?" I didn't expect Night Child to be so active.

The Son of Night smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it, let's do it now."

"Okay!" I nodded: "The mission may take a long time. Are you sure you have no problem? Why don't you go offline and take a rest before coming back up? It will be too late to sleep in the middle of the mission."

The Son of Night said: "Have you forgotten my name? I always sleep during the day. I just got up an hour ago."

"In that case, just wait for me for a while and I'll find someone."

"Who else are you looking for?"

"The one who takes us on our mission."

"Then hurry up." The child of the night was already restless with excitement.

I quickly ran to the reception room of Vina's temple. The God of Contract I met in the gourd last time has been placed here. Although I don't necessarily need her as a magic pet, she knows the address of the God of Beasts. This is an important clue and can save a lot of time.

When I found her in the temple she was reading a magic book, her favorite pastime. She stood up immediately when she saw me coming in: "It's President Ziri! Are you here today to meet the Beast God?"

"Yes." I nodded and said, "You come with me to meet someone first."

"OK."

The God of Contract was brought to the living room by me. The Night Child is currently huddled in the corner, while my beautiful demon pets are having a carnival in the house. "I've only been gone for a few minutes and you're already shaking things up. Look at you scaring the Children of the Night to death."

Ling Li defended confidently: "We are helping him develop his resistance. He can't stay away from women for the rest of his life, right?"

"This isn't how you exercise. You all sit down properly. I'll tell you something. Son of the Night, stop shrinking and come over and sit down."

After everyone restored order, I continued to speak: "This is the Contract Goddess. Originally, she wanted to be adopted as a magic pet by me, but because I have no free magic pet position, I can only take her back to Essin first. Ge. She knows the specific location of the Beast God, and we can go to the Beast God with her to make some adjustments. By the way, is Ariana still in Atlantis?"

Emenes raised her hand and said: "Ana is at the port, we just saw her."

"That's just right." I quickly contacted Aina through telepathic contact. "Ana?"

"Master! What's going on?"

"How's the progress in Atlantis?"

"It's basically completed. The technology of the White Shark Clan is combined with the technology of our Mermaid Clan. This will be the most perfect underwater city."

"Well, it's perfect enough. It cost me more than ten million crystal coins. If it's not perfect, I'll make them all into shark specimens."

"of course."

"Are you in Isengard now?"

"Yes. The one who came to deliver the materials at noon has not returned yet."

"Don't go back. I need all the demon pets to complete the task together. Come back quickly. I'm in the living room No. 1."

"We'll be there soon." Adi Na ran in less than 10 minutes after the psychic contact was released. "Owner."

"You arrived quickly enough. Sit down and rest for a while."

"Yeah." As soon as A Di Na sat down between Ling and the others, she started playing with them. She was so energetic!

I said to the Contract Goddess: "You know the residence of the Beast God, so do you know the Beast God?"

The Contract Goddess said: "Our temples used to be close to each other, but later due to some changes, my temple was destroyed, and then because I could not form a suitable faith group. So my power began to gradually weaken, and finally I was reduced to helping others. The point where you fight in exchange for some magic power.”

"So if there is a temple, can you restore your divine power?"

"It should be possible."

I said: "So it would be too wasteful to use you as a magic pet. Vina, how about giving her to you?"

"Give me?"

"Well. The Temple of Chaos and Order will compete for business with those four companies in the future. You, the main god, cannot be a mere commander! Let her be your subordinate and establish a contract affiliated with the Temple of Chaos and Order. What do you think of the temple?”

"This is a good suggestion." Wei Na agreed.

The Contract Goddess said excitedly: "Do you really want to build a temple for me?"

"Building will definitely require building land, but building the temple requires investment of money and manpower. For this, I need you to pay a certain amount of compensation."

"But I have nothing!"

"No. There is a kind of capital that cannot be seen or touched. And you own exactly this kind of capital. What's more important is that I cannot accumulate this kind of capital anyway, and no one else will sell it to me at all. thing."

"Do I have such a precious thing?" The God of Contract asked doubtfully.

I nodded: "You definitely have. It's just that you didn't notice it."

"What is it exactly?"

"relation."

"relation?"

"Yes, it's a relationship." I said to the Contract Goddess: "You were with the Beast God before, so you must know her. In addition, you should also know many minor gods, right?"

The Contract Goddess nodded and said: "We gods who are responsible for some simple things have always been running around, so everyone is almost familiar with each other, and because we have no qualifications, we dare not be too arrogant, so we usually compare ourselves to each other. Harmony, but what does it matter?”

"Of course it does matter." I explained: "For example, this time. I need to find the beast god, and you just know her. This is your value. As I said just now, the goddess Wei Na must be big. , she will not shrink in our guild forever, and she needs assistants. If you can help us contact more low-level gods to help or join us in the future, I will give you corresponding benefits. In other words, you can use your Repay my help to you by building a relationship. Vina has been sealed for too long, and she basically doesn’t know the gods now. We ordinary people don’t know the members of your God Realm. Although your abilities are average, you can still be a middleman. Bar?"

Upon hearing this, the contract goddess immediately nodded and said: "I can, I can, I can do this. As long as you are willing to help me build the temple, I will definitely invite all the gods I know to come and interview you. But it depends on whether you agree to stay. It’s up to you.”

"You don't have to worry about this, just help pull the strings. I will discuss the specific matters with you in detail when the time comes. What you have to do now is to help me strive for the greatest benefits from the Beast God."

"sure."

I said to the demon pets: "Okay, you go back to Fenglong space first, Yeyue and Ling stay here."

The demon pets returned to the Phoenix Dragon Space first, and I said to the Son of Night: "Do you want to prepare anything?"

"No need, the equipment is complete."

"Then let's set off now, Contract Goddess. Tell us where the location is?"

The Contract Goddess said: "The residence of the Beast God is in South America. Are you sure you don't need to prepare anything?"

"South America?" The Son of the Night looked at me in confusion: "I remember that you had that ring of gratitude a long time ago, didn't you? How could it be a cross-border mission?"

"What's the point?" I asked naturally: "The system of "Zero" randomly assigns all undetermined settings. For example, you get a key, and the mission tells you that it can open the door to a certain mage's cemetery. . But before you discover this cemetery, it is an unknown quantity, which means that as long as the system is willing, it can make any place a cemetery. No one knows where the cemetery is anyway, no matter how he sets it up. The same goes for this ring. If I had gone Do the task. Maybe the Beast God is in the country. But if I do it now, he will randomly go abroad. Anyway, we didn’t know where he was before, and no matter where we know now, there will be no conflict. Do you understand? "

"No wonder every time I do a mission, I can always find something related to the mission. It turns out that the system was temporarily set up before I arrived."

Ling said to me: "Master. We don't have cities in South America!"

The Son of the Night said: "You can teleport to the starting point city first, then use the teleportation array to reach the southernmost part of the United States, then put on a spear and fly there."

"No." I objected: "My flying bird is just okay, but your spear can't fly that far. I think it's better to use a clipper."

"Can you think of another way?"

"Why?"

"I am seasick."

"Damn! Are you a man? Even if you are afraid of women, you are still seasick." I thought for a while and said, "First go to the war room to check the map, confirm the approximate location, and then consider how to get there."

Ling suddenly said: "If it doesn't work, how about using magic arrows like last time?"

"Don't even think about it." Riding in a rocket is no fun.

Taking them to the combat command room, I turned on all the lights on the wall. The world map on the floor immediately aroused the interest of the contract goddess. "How did you get this map? It's so big!"

"How do you get the ground? It's carved on. First use a chisel to carve out the lines, then fill the lines with crystal paint, and finally cover it with a whole piece of crystal glass to become the current ground."

"You are too powerful. How can you depict such a complicated thing?"

"Don't worry about it. Just tell us the specific location."

The Contract Goddess lay on the ground and searched for a long time before saying: "Here. About this range."

I went over and took a look. "Good guy. It's in the center of the super forest, surrounded by an endless forest area. You may not be able to get out of that place for ten days and a half. Now you're in trouble."

"Is it so scary?" Ye Zhizi asked: "I have traveled to South America with my family before. The forests there have been almost cut down. How can it be so scary?"

"What you said is reality, this is a game. Because South American countries are relatively economically backward, there are not many people playing online games like "Zero". Therefore, in order to fill the huge map space, the entire South America in the game has been The forest is completely covered. Except for a few open spaces in South America in the game, the rest is the super forest called the Pacific Ocean. And you also know that the trees in the game are not thirty or forty meters tall like those in reality. The forest The bigger the tree, the taller it is. In the forests of South America, there are almost all giant trees that are hundreds of meters high."

The child of the night sighed: "Fortunately, I don't have a phobia of big trees."

I shook my head and said, "Compared to big trees, are you afraid of bugs?"

"Fortunately, I'm not too scared. What? Are there a lot of bugs over there?"

This time it was not me but the Contract Goddess who replied: "Not only are there many, but they are also very big. What's more important is that they are almost everywhere in every corner of the forest and there is no safe zone at all."

Ling trembled when he heard this: "That...master? Can I go back to Fenglong's space?"

"Okay then." I nodded and said to Yeyue, "Do you need to go back to Fenglong Space too?"

Yeyue shook her head: "What's there to be afraid of?"

I looked at the map and said: "This way. We first go to the starting point city, then borrow a small speedboat from the Neptune Palace, which is in alliance with us, and land at the northernmost tip of Chile. After crossing Chile, we enter Bolivia and continue eastward, crossing the border and entering Brazil. It’s not far from the goal.”

"Then why don't we land in Brazil and directly teleport to the city deep in the forest and then fly there?"

I corrected: "First, the cities in Brazil are all on the northeast coast. The cities closest to where we want to go are much further than those in Chile. Another problem is that we don't have a familiar guild on the east coast. I'm afraid it would be difficult to borrow a boat. It’s not easy. As for the Panama Canal. Because of the high tolls, you can take a rickshaw directly from the United States to the depths of the forest. Also, flying can only be used as an auxiliary. It is impossible to fly directly there because it will destroy the entire forest. All the flying monsters are attracted to you. The flying can only be done at intervals, and it cannot last too long."

"How many days will it take to walk?" The Son of Night asked worriedly.

The Contract Goddess replied: "It won't take long. There are animal trails in many places in the forest. If you have a suitable mount, the speed will not be too slow."

"What type of mount is suitable for you?"

"Horses are definitely not good. There are too many poisonous insects there, and horses are easily attacked. This mount must have armor. It is best to be a reptile monster. Secondly, it must be strong enough, and it must be able to move if there are things blocking it in some places. . Also, the mount cannot be too high. In some places, when it is necessary to drill holes, it is inconvenient for creatures that are too tall. By the way, there are many rivers and river beaches in the forest. It is best for the mount to be able to swim across the river, and it must be strong. Only with claws can one climb the slippery river beach covered with moss.”

The Son of Night said: "The steel claw seems to be just right."

"Well, not bad." I quickly summoned my steel claw and let the contract goddess take a look: "Is this okay?"

"Okay. Very good."

"Okay. Everything is ready, let's go."

Through the transnational teleportation array, we were teleported directly to the starting point city in the United States. It's still early morning here, but our city is far from quiet. Qidian City is a mining area, and our guild's mining operations are mostly large-scale mechanized operations. The noise is very loud, and the loud rumbling of rock drills can be heard throughout the city.

After leaving the transnational teleportation array, we directly used the city teleportation array to reach Port Andrews, where the Neptune Palace belongs. Terry himself was not there, but the people from the other guild recognized my badge. All we wanted was a small boat, it wasn't a big deal, and we borrowed a speedboat after a brief exchange. This seven-meter-long speedboat is equipped with four engines and is incredibly fast. We arrived near Chile around 10 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, which is almost noon here.

"Look. The port." Yeyue, who was standing on the bow of the ship, spotted the port from afar. The ruby ​​​​on her headdress completely relies on magic to replace the eyes, and its vision is far beyond that of normal people. I can only see a small dot without activating the star pupil, but she has actually seen that it is the port.

"Sit tight." I pressed the power handle of the engine, and the bow of the ship immediately tilted up and rushed towards the port.

Chile is a relatively developed country, there are more people playing games here, and the port is obviously larger. The port in front of us is called Iquique (the city names here in South America all use the names of real places), and it is one of the larger cities in Chile.

When I could see the flag of the port, I said to the Night Child: "Turn on the translation system and switch to Spanish."

"Is Spanish spoken here?"

"It seems that Spanish is used in several countries here. If you are worried, just turn on automatic recognition, but I will not reimburse you for the extra cost." Automatic language recognition is much more expensive than directly selecting a single language. The translation system of "Zero" It's never free.

As soon as we arrived outside the port, we saw a giant cargo ship leaving the port, and the flag on the ship turned out to be that of China. "I'm dizzy! Which guild's ship is this? How did it end up in Chile?"

"I've never seen this flag before!" The Son of the Night looked at the guild flag on the ship and was confused.

I thought for a long time and said: "There are too many guilds in China. I guess this is a guild that has no relationship with us. I can't believe that there are people who can stretch their tentacles longer than us."

The Son of the Night pointed to the back of the cargo ship and said, "Look there."

I looked over and was completely dumbfounded. "Holy crap, why are the Northern Alliance ships here too?"

The Son of the Night sighed: "The Northern Alliance is indeed extraordinary. The ships have even sailed to Chile. I don't know if other South American countries have any dealings with our country."

I shook my head: "We have rarely collected information here in South America. Although there are many resources here, the distance is too far, transportation is not convenient, and there are few people here. I haven't paid much attention to it. I didn't expect that there would be someone better than us." It’s time to get started, it seems that we will speed up the exploration of America when we return.”

Yeyue suddenly pointed to a ship and asked, "What country is that ship with the red dots painted on it?"

"Japanese ship." The Son of the Night shouted in surprise: "Turn the rudder quickly."

I said indifferently: "Why are you nervous? This ship is flying the American flag. Little Japan has seen that Americans are better behaved than rabbits. But I really don't think Japanese would sail the ship so far away." "

boom. A loud noise made me shrink down. The giant ship that was leaving the port actually fired at the Japanese ship that was entering the port outside the port, and our ship was just caught in the middle.
