Chapter 8 Hotel Night Gathering
When Arnold returned to the village, it was not completely dark. Thinking that there were more tasks to be completed tomorrow, he went straight to the blacksmith's shop.
"Hey, good evening, brave young man. What is there..."
The blacksmith turned around with such a monotonous line.
"Hello." After saying that, Arnold went to the shelf to compare all kinds of white equipment. The best equipment sold by the blacksmith shop is only the white level 7 equipment, which can be equipped after reaching level 5.
"I want this helmet, leg armor and wrist protector."
"Okay, a total of 1 gold and 90 silver. Your account balance is not enough, cute young man."
"Uh." Arnold took out all kinds of magic stones from killing monsters and sold them to the blacksmith, and the account balance immediately rose to 4 gold, 12 silver and 70 copper.
Rich man, waiting for Arno to equip things, the blacksmith Woso rubbed his hands and asked, "Young man, what else do you want?"
"Is this a mining shovel?"
"Yes, it has been here for many years. It only costs one silver coin. Do you want to buy one to play?"
"Okay, I want one."
"Well, here you are."
It took Arnold a long time to understand that mining requires the use of a spatula for mining, and this spat needs to be used with the same equipment as a weapon, and the equipment needs to replace the fine iron cold sword.
Out of the blacksmith's shop, Arnold went to the pharmacist and spent one gold coin to buy 20 bottles of second-level life potions. With these life potions, it is much safer to fight with monsters with continuous damage skills. However, what he cares about most is food. There are only four slices of bread left in the storage ring, which makes him feel very unsafe. Of course, the more food, the better.
When he found Amelia, he directly bought 100 yuan of bread with ten copper coins. Arnold is used to being hungry. In reality, having a piece of bread in a meal is simply a blessing from God. After entering the game, the game is set to eat two pieces of bread per meal to satisfy hunger, but he still only eats one piece. After killing monsters, he feels a little hungry and is willing to take out one piece to eat. Amelia also has all kinds of delicious food, sandwiches, ham, grilled chicken wings, chicken legs, etc., but he thinks that bread is the most realistic and useful.
Grocery stores do have long-distance tents for sale, but they cost 10 gold coins, and those tents look like a black coffin when they are held up. The biggest purpose of Arnold's upgrade is to live a few more days and get more money. He doesn't do such an unlucky thing as sleeping in a coffin. Maybe I went to bed today. When I got up tomorrow morning, I was summoned by a senior player.
It's evening now. Those players should all come back, but you can only occasionally meet one or two players who have upgraded on the street. Entering the stone hotel, the noise immediately came to my face, and the four oil lamps on the stone wall of the hotel illuminated the whole room. Roughly, there are only more than 50 people in the hotel.
"Have they all been summoned away?" Arnold secretly sighed that when he first entered the village, there were more than 500 people in the village. It must be upgraded as soon as possible. Now they are only summoned zombie clans and undead (skull) clans who spend money to directly to level 10. If players of other clans advance to upgrade to level 10, there will be more people to summon. There are still two races that can choose the profession of summoning spirit master.
"Arnold!"
"Do you know anyone else?" Arnold followed the sound and couldn't help jumping. It turned out to be Wushan who called him.
"Wushan, you are not..." Arnold didn't know how to go on. He clearly remembered that the teenager with a similar background to himself had starved to death.
"Yes, yes, I was called away, but I was lucky enough to survive. Wow, the zombie who summoned me just chose a profession to learn skills and then used it to have a try.
"Ah, it turns out that you were summoned away and survived. You are so lucky."
"Yes, yes, I returned to full state when I came back, and the hunger completely disappeared. Come on, come on, let's sit here and talk."
Wushan took Arnold to sit at a table and pointed to the big man beside him and said, "This is a vegetarian uncle, the captain of our team. He is very nice. Look, this cup of rye beer was the one he invited me."
After saying that, Wu Shan handed half a glass of beer to Arnold and then said, "Come on, try it. Eating meat and drinking in the game is completely the same as in reality."
Arnold shook his head and said, "Do you team up to kill monsters? What kind of task to receive?
"It's the kind that kills the corpse-eating minnows outside the village. There were originally ten people in our team, and four were summoned away, and now there are only six left. What task did you take? Come to our team."
"Oh, ah..." Half a glass of beer made the already excited Wushan dizzy. Only then did he notice that Arnold had reached level 5, and his health had reached an incredible 514 points.
"You, you..." Wushan suffoed for a long time before asking, "How did you do it?"
"The corpse-eating mincer can hit higher damage on the waist, which I accidentally found. With this, I have risen to level 5 so quickly." Arnold noticed at a glance that Wushan was only level three.
After hearing this, the vegetarian uncle asked doubtfully, "Can hitting the waist cause higher damage? What's the reason?"
"Every type of monster in the game has weaknesses. Finding weaknesses and attacking can cause higher damage."
"Really?" The vegetarian uncle didn't believe it. Wushan and several other teammates also shook their heads to show that they didn't understand.
"Forget it, you will try it by yourself tomorrow and you will understand soon?"
The vegetarian uncle understood the plan and nodded, "That's right. Let's try it tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the counter to buy a cup of Blackstone beer and served it to Arnold. He said boldly, "Little brother is willing to share such a secret with us. I'll treat you to this beer."
After Arnold, who has 514 health points at level 5, entered the store, he attracted the attention of many people. The dialogue between several people had been heard by everyone for a long time, and the vegetarian's words suddenly made him laugh.
"Our team also found this secret in the afternoon. What's so strange about this? We can upgrade the level quickly tomorrow. When Arnold saw it, the speaker was still level three.
"Then why didn't you say it?"
"You didn't ask."
"The same, the same, everyone is the same. Don't worry about these. Let this boy named Wushan tell him where he was summoned."
"Yes, yes."
"I saw with my own eyes that a hundred people were summoned away, but this Wushan was still the first to be released, haha."
Wushan picked up half a glass of beer, took a sip, put down the glass and said, "I was going to starve to death at that time. As a result, I felt that something was pulling me. The whiteness in front of me appeared in a golden palace the next moment."
Wushan drank a small sip of rye beer again and said for a pause, "What is summoned me is a little shadow demon beauty with pink skin and a cute little tail. Wow, those faces and eyes are simply unforgettable at a glance.
"Shadow Demons? Hey hey, you're a little bragging. The shadow demon clan doesn't have the profession of spiritual master at all.
When Wu Shan heard the words, he immediately asked his system, and Arnold was also among the people who did the same. Unexpectedly, there are shadow demon players who have risen to level 10, which is really not a good omen for them, which means that the probability of being summoned has increased exponentially.
"XZ7462, can the shadow demon clan choose the profession of spiritual master?"
"I can't."
"But why was this friend summoned by the Shadow Demon Clan?"
"The evil magician also has summoning skills."
"..."
"Fuck, it won't let us live. The warlock also has summoning skills. Shit, there was no explanation in the contract of the game company when I came in."
"Well, the Shadow Demons can't spend money to buy a level. They are at level 10 and we are only level three. Who can blame?"
Players who have just left the hotel store look at Arnold. He can upgrade the fastest. Maybe he can reach level 10 tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After reaching level 10, there is basically no danger.
"Well, why do you care so much? Anyway, I survived successfully today. Haha, I got 80 cosmic coins.
"Wait, Wushan boy, you **** patronize to say that the beautiful woman has gone, but you haven't figured out where she has been summoned."
"Didn't I say that I was summoned to a large golden hall, in which there are still a lot of shadow demon beauties standing. It seems that they are all NPCs, one by one..."
"What's wrong with you?" A player named Hannick asked with an obscene face.
"It's beautiful and plump."
"Cut..." There was a boo in the inn.
"You are so uneducated that you can say these two sentences."
"Hahahaha, isn't the word plump enough to explain everything?"
"Well, Wushan boy, let me ask you, how much do they wear? What clothes are you wearing? Is it convenient to take it off?"
The white zombie face of Wushan blushed and said, "This..."
There was another burst of laughter in the hotel.
"Wu Shan, men should eat meat and drink a lot of wine. Look at you, drinking a beer is such a small sip. Alas, young people nowadays can't do it!" A big man joked. After saying that, he went to the front of the counter and put two large glasses of beer in front of Wushan. He said, "Watch it."
After saying that, he picked up the beer and drank it all.
"It's your turn."
"I can't drink." Wushan was forced to tell the truth.
Another burst of laughter.
Arnold also drank for the first time, and only tasted the bitter taste.
"Then I can't treat you to this wine." The big man will drink the wine glass by himself.
Wushan took a breath and said, "There is another news that you are probably very interested in."
"What's the news?" The big man asked absent-mindedly.
"You will not be summoned again within 48 hours after being summoned once, that is to say, in case you dodge a disaster, there is a great hope to rise to level 10 alive."
After a period of silence, the big man said, "Hundreds of people have been summoned, and you are the only one who came back alive."
After saying that, the big man fell down on the table and fell asleep.
The onlookers also dispersed boredly, or chatted loudly, lying on the table, lying on the ground and sleeping.
"Wushan, congratulations, 240 cosmic coins have been taken."
"Well, if only I could get to level 10 in two days."
Arnold also nodded and said, "It's much safer after reaching level 10, at least there is no danger of being summoned for a long time."
"Yes, but I only upgraded to level three in one day. I heard that it will get slower and slower in the future. I guess it will be impossible to complete it in two days."
"Have you paid off your debt?"
"No, but you can definitely pay it off after a few more tasks. Have you paid off your debt? If I don't have bread here, the vegetarian uncle bought it for me, 20 copper coins.
"I've paid off mine. I'll give you these pieces of equipment. I bought them from the blacksmith when I was at level three, and I don't need them now."
"..."
After a cup of bitter beer, Arnold felt a little blurred. I don't know when he fell asleep on the table.
