When I sat in the carriage and rushed back to the castle, it was already midnight.
Because of the rain, the weather was a little cool, so Wu Ming couldn't help but tighten his collar as he stepped out of the car.
"Is Annie asleep?" Wu Ming handed the windbreaker to the maid and asked without thinking as he walked into the castle.
"Miss has gone to bed."
The maid put away her windbreaker, took two quick steps to follow Wu Ming, and said, "Miss Lucy is not asleep yet, so she reminded me specifically to ask you to come up when you come back."
Wu Ming nodded imperceptibly, walked up the stairs, and soon reached the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is the master's bedroom, where Wu Ming, Annie, Lucy, and Aunt Angelina all live.
There were candles lit in the castle, and some dim light illuminated the road ahead.
Wu Ming waved the maid to leave. He opened Lucy's door alone and found Lucy sitting on the bedside reading a book.
Lucy still saw this as the queen's self-cultivation, and she still had snacks on hand for late night snacks.
When she heard the door open, Lucy put down her book and looked up at the door.
After seeing that it was Wu Ming, Her Majesty the Queen stretched out, her proud figure on full display, and said lazily: "As your creditor, I must remind you that you should find a job that can get you gold coins.
It’s time to work.”
"It hurts my feelings to ask for money!" Wu Ming sat next to Lucy, put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days, and you are urging me to pay back the money. We had agreed at the beginning that the money would be
Borrow it for one year."
"It's useless to please me, take your claws away quickly." Lucy patted Wu Ming's hands with a sneer on her face.
Wu Ming didn't care. He took his hands away and lay down on the bed. He was not afraid of the boiling water and said, "I don't have any money now. How about you use me to pay off the debt? I'll be fine if I don't resist."
"Go away" has lived in the human world for two months, and Lucy is no longer as naive as she was before.
Holding a pillow in his hand, he hit Wu Ming randomly several times to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
Wu Ming covered his head with his hands and laughed with Lucy for a while before leaving. He didn't take Lucy's threat to heart at all.
"Goldfinger, refresh daily tasks." Returning to his room, the smile on Wu Ming's face slowly faded.
The level of professionals in Holy Light City is one level higher than that of Tibulague, and only the hero level can win.
Thinking about hearing about those geniuses from other nobles, Wu Ming felt the urgency for strength.
Under normal methods, if people in the world of gods want to become strong, there are three aspects that are indispensable.
Professional level, inherited skills, professional equipment above legendary level.
Wu Ming is now very poor and lacks everything.
After all, this is the world of the gods, which only recognizes the professional system. The magic and immortal systems he practiced before are not recognized paths. The only thing he can rely on is the golden finger.
"Didi: It's past twenty-four o'clock, and the daily tasks are being refreshed."
"Didi: A serial mission has been detected, the first link of the mission, sign up to go to the Magic Empire. The mission reward is 200 experience and 200 gold coins."
Three months later, the serial mission appeared again, and Wu Ming was stunned for a moment.
The last serial mission was reluctantly rejected by Wu Ming because it involved the vortex of undead invasion.
At that time, he didn't know the rarity of the chain mission, but the second chain mission had not been triggered in three months, which explained the problem.
"It's actually this mission. It seems that I don't want to be a monkey, so I have to show off my skills this time." A series of missions that only happen once every few months is definitely a big event not to be missed.
Wu Ming was unwilling to participate before. In the final analysis, the temptation was not enough, and he could not see how many benefits he would get from participating in the exchange meeting.
But it's different when there are serial tasks. The tasks themselves have rewards, which are enough for him to make a lot of money. Even if the exchange meeting is just a joke, he can still make a profit without losing money.
Accept the task, lie on the bed and slowly fall asleep, without talking all night.
Early the next morning, Wu Ming got up very early, didn't eat breakfast, got on the carriage and went out.
Going to the exchange meeting in the Magic Empire can be said to be a major event in Holy Light City.
The registration place was right at the entrance of the palace. It was still morning when Wu Ming arrived, and there was already a long queue here. There were more than a thousand people at a glance.
Of course, real aristocrats don't have to line up, the people in line are just common people.
Wu Ming walked through the aristocratic passage, showed his aristocratic badge, and soon someone came over to connect him. This is the charm of privilege.
"The quota for the exchange meeting is only open to second-level professionals, and the registration fee is 1 gold coin. Three days later, the king will hold a group competition, and the top 100 will get a quota to go to the Magic Empire. The losers don't have to worry about it."
The registration requirements are not high, and Wu Ming completed everything quickly.
The moment his name was recorded by the clerk, a golden finger prompt sounded in his ears: "Didi, the first part of the mission is completed. The reward is 200 experience points and 200 gold coins. The second part of the mission begins."
"Didi: In the second round of the mission, get the qualification to be among the top 100 in the arena. The mission rewards 500 experience and 500 gold coins."
Compared with trivial tasks like mosquito legs, the rewards for chain tasks are more than 10% higher.
Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction. His main task now is to upgrade. With 500 experience points in the second ring, the dragon slayer profession can be upgraded to level 3.
For second-level career changes, the experience requirements for upgrading are higher. Upgrading from level 1 to level 2 is 1000, leveling up from level 2 to level 3 is 2000, and leveling up from level 3 to level 4 reaches 4000 experience points.
In two months, he had only raised his level by two levels. According to his calculations, a total of 510,000 experience points were needed between the second and third levels. This was an appalling number.
"Every level up is doubled. I'm afraid that by the third level, it will be difficult to level up in a few years. It's really hard to imagine how the indigenous people in this world can level up without golden fingers." Wu Ming thought to himself.
Tongue, summed up in three words, is lack of experience.
Taking a deep breath and taking the token he was given after signing up, Wu Ming planned to leave.
But he didn't go far when he saw people gathering in groups, shouting about placing bets and the like.
"Bet on the top three, bet on the top ten, come and place your bets!"
After taking a look, I realized that someone was betting on who would be in the top ten this time.
Wu Ming stood aside and looked at it, and found that he did not recognize anyone in the list of ten people given by the dealer.
Apparently, they should be the famous geniuses in Holy Light City. Among them, the one Wu Ming barely remembers is Duncan, the druid caster who ranks sixth.
"Duncan, a druid caster, a second-level 7th level druid." Wu Ming looked at Duncan's information and found that his odds were not high. Everyone ranked him between fifth and tenth.
