Chapter 114 Howling Swamp

[You have accepted the task: escort the new mayor to Baiwu Town! ]

After Su Mu accepted the task, the city lord Yue Bai nodded slightly: "Regarding the candidate for the next mayor, I still need to report to the capital, which will take about three days. You can take a good walk in Xiaoyue City during these three days!"

Speaking of this, the city lord Yue Bai waved his hand.

"Please, adventurer!"

The guard turned to look at Su Mu and led him out of the city lord's mansion.

"Go around first!"

Su Mu stood next to the sign and looked around.

"Living area?"

A sign attracted his attention.

"Go and have a look!"

Walking towards the living area, Su Mu walked very fast along the way.

More than ten minutes later, a bustling street appeared in front of him.

The so-called living area is almost all linked to life skills, with various shops.

The words "tasks can be received" are displayed on the heads of some NPCs.

Su Mu touched his chin and thought for a while, then walked to the door of a pharmacy.

"Hello, are there any recipes here that I can learn?"

"Dear adventurer, I have quite a few potion recipes here that you can learn, but they require a certain price."

The NPC answered Su Mu's question very respectfully and took out several potion recipes.

[Super Vitality Potion: Vitality Grass x2 Life Vine x2, can restore 2000 HP after use, one minute cooldown. ]

[Magic Blood Potion: Magic Grass x2 Mana Blood x2, +1000 mana limit after use, lasts for one minute, three minutes cooldown]

[Venom: Poisonous Flower Grass x2 Venomous Snake Liquid x2, can poison a weapon after use, effective for 5 minutes, making it have a chance to cause 50 damage per second to the enemy when attacking, lasting for 10s,]

"These recipes are all good!"

Su Mu chose to learn all of them.

The price of learning each recipe is 80 gold.

Because of the title of Xiaoyue City on his head, all consumption in the city is 20% off.

However, these herbs cannot be bought in the drugstore. Players need to collect them in the wild, and the store also has the task of collecting materials.

Su Mu did not accept the task.

For a player who is a master of life profession, it is more cost-effective to make medicines directly by himself than to collect those materials.

"Go to other stores!"

After saying goodbye to the drugstore owner, Su Mu went to other stores.

After the conversation, he learned a lot of production drawings from the boss.

There are various second-level weapons for forging, and various second-level clothes and pants for tailors.

What Su Mu cares about is that there is an additional life skill that can be learned in this living area.

The owner of the store is a dwarf, wearing pilot glasses, and is studying some kind of engineering machinery.

"Adventurer, do you want to learn engineering? This is a complicated subject!"

"Yes, I want to learn!"

Su Mu replied with a smile.

"Then you have to invest some gold coins!" The boss also laughed.

[Spend 160 gold coins to successfully learn skills: Engineering! ]

[Engineering has been upgraded to master level! 】

After learning this skill, Su Mu maxed it out without saying anything.

Then, Su Mu also learned several engineering production drawings from the boss.

After learning, Su Mu looked at an empty area behind the living area.

It was similar to a shop, but no one was running it.

Su Mu quickly realized that this should be a shop open to players.

Although there are not many people in Xiaoyue City now, as the number of players increases, this kind of shop will become very popular.

After all, the 10% tax of the auction house is no joke!

"Go to the mission hall, take a few missions, and upgrade out of the city!"

There are a lot of gold coins in the package column, and Su Mu has no plans to invest in these shops for the time being.

Who made him the only player in the entire Xiaoyue City.

Even if this shop is opened, there is no customer flow!

"But I can indeed open a shop here!"

"The handling fee of the auction house is too expensive!"

On the way to the mission hall, Su Mu touched his chin and thought.

You can take an airship from Xiaoyue City to the capital of Sun City, which means that it is very convenient to travel between the two places.

You can go to Xiaoyue City to consign items every once in a while.

Of course, before you reach the third level, you can put these aside.

"It's bigger than the one in Baiwu Town!"

When you come to the task hall, it is ten times larger than the task hall in Baiwu Town.

"Professional!"

After entering the hall, there are many windows here, each of which is marked with the level and the location of the task.

Su Mu looked at his current level.

The highest task he can accept is the second level 3 task.

Walking to that window, Su Mu checked it out.

[Go to the Howling Swamp, collect 100 venomous snake teeth, the task rewards 200 gold coins, venomous snake dagger! ]

[Shadow of the Howling Swamp: Go to the depths of the Howling Swamp for investigation, the task rewards 500 gold coins, giant snake dance! ]

[Collection task: Collect 100 swamp venomous snake flowers, get the recipe: antidote potion! 】

There are three tasks that can be taken, and the rewards are all very good.

Su Mu accepted the three tasks one by one and headed towards the Howling Swamp.

"I'm going to get a mount!"

After leaving the city, Su Mu recalled his style when he was riding a horse.

This is much faster than walking on foot.

But what he wanted was a mount that could be summoned and dismissed at any time.

That kind of physical mount is indeed somewhat limited.

"First, complete the task to upgrade. If there is no mount skill here, then go to Day City to have a look!"

Speeding up the pace of the journey, Su Mu soon saw a swamp in front of him.

The air was filled with a smell of decay.

"Ah! Ah!"

Several crows shouted.

Su Mu looked at the bubbling swamps in front of him, frowning.

"Magic perspective!"

The perspective suddenly changed after closing his eyes and opening them.

"I can actually see it!"

Su Mu smiled happily.

The magic perspective skill is awesome, and even the bottom of the swamps can be seen clearly.

"Is that a monster?"

Su Mu soon discovered the red life signs in the swamp.

All of them are snake-shaped!

"Can the frost storm hit them?"

The monsters were all under the swamp. Su Mu narrowed his eyes and tentatively released a skill towards that area.

"No damage?"

To his surprise, the frost storm did not cause any damage to the monsters under the swamp.

"We have to lure them all out!"

Su Mu also reacted now.

If you want to spawn monsters in this swamp, you must lure the monsters underground out.
