Chapter 194 Being followed by a stalker (please subscribe~)
After entering Hierro City, the first thing Su Ming did was to fix the resurrection point in Hierro City, and then went to the grocery store to buy a return stone for Hierro City, so that even if he died, he would not have to use an airship to come back.
Su Ming had a psychological shadow on airships.
The airship that was blown up before became a hot topic. The animal trainer who deliberately attracted monsters and shouted was left with only his pants and vest, and all his pets were gone. In this state, he was still being blocked and killed.
.
He couldn't hold his tongue anymore, so he posted an apology, and the players on the airship let him go...
After the two airships were deliberately blown up, there was another commonly known agreement between players - when taking an airship, they must stay in the cabin for half an hour and are not allowed to go to the deck. Anyone who violates the rules will be directly attacked.
Anyway, it should be much safer to take an airship in the future.
Since Su Ming had reached level 26, he went to the bank again and took out the golden equipment that he had found on the flop when playing the heroic difficulty dungeon. It was level 26 equipment. He couldn't get the equipment before, so he kept it in the warehouse.
Listener's Badge (LV26, gold):
+720 health, +720 mana
+1 coordinated attack
+1Listen to the sound of all things
Durability:45/45
Career Requirements: Listener
This piece of equipment, plus the second skill level, is the graduation outfit pursued by animal trainers at the current stage. It will also drop in the Abandoned Temple copy of the normal difficulty. The probability is definitely much lower than that of the heroic difficulty. If it were not impossible to trade, this badge would probably have been
It was sold to a sky-high price.
Although the second-level skills can be upgraded without proficiency, they require level 5 to advance to the next level. This badge is equivalent to a free upgrade of level 5 plus 3 skill points.
Below level 30, it's hard to find a better badge.
At level 2, the passive and active effects of Listen to the Voice of All Things have increased by 10%. The duration has been increased to 15 seconds, the consumption has been increased by 500 magic points, and the cooldown remains unchanged.
Although the skill value has only grown by 10%, which does not seem high, the duration has also grown. Only by combining the growth in duration can we calculate its true growth.
In the forum, some animal trainers have calculated that after the second-level skill is upgraded from level 1 to level 2, the output efficiency increases by 65%, which is a huge improvement.
After putting on his new badge, Su Ming wandered around the city. While watching what other players were doing, he also stopped a few NPCs and asked about the "Breath of Darkness Gem".
Su Ming tried his best to ask NPCs who looked old and wealthy. Not only did he ask questions like "Do you know where the Breath of Darkness gem is?", he also asked the names of the knowledgeable and well-informed NPCs in the city.
,whereabouts.
By leading one NPC to another NPC, the probability of triggering the task is higher.
In the city, many players, like Su Ming, wore cool robes and hid their names on their heads.
Although the robe covered his whole body, Su Ming's fish lantern hat was too conspicuous and was still recognized by some players.
The player named "Sword Emperor of St. Mark" has set his sights on Su Ming.
His name is St. Mark Sword Emperor, but his profession is a stalker.
The second level of the Rogue is called Shadow Dance. Their shadow will disappear unscientifically and shrink into a black shadow under their feet. This black shadow is equivalent to the listener's silver whistle and is the professional symbol of Shadow Dance.
The Saint Mark Sword Emperor entered the stealth state and followed Su Ming, thinking in his heart:
"Many game media want Spore's information and whereabouts, but few people have seen him in the past few days. I didn't expect him to be in Hierro City."
He secretly took a few photos of Su Ming to prove that he had indeed seen Su Ming. Just as he was about to "submit" the photos to make money, he saw Su Ming pull over another NPC and start asking questions.
Although the NPC was very impatient, after accepting a silver coin from Su Ming, he still stopped and answered Su Ming's question.
"The Breath of Darkness Gem? What is that?" The Stigma Sword Emperor has heard this word several times, "Is it a task related to the Breath of Darkness potion?"
After Su Ming became famous, the most explored thing was his relationship with Venus.
Although everyone was very gossipy, the melon-eaters lost interest after they learned that Su Ming and Venus were in a cooperative relationship.
However, through digging into this relationship, players who often visit the forum also know that the most popular "Elementary Magic Potion" and "Dark Breath Potion" that Venus Pharmacy is looking to buy come from Su Ming.
St. Mark Sword Emperor is one of those players who frequently visits forums and is very well-informed. He naturally connects what Su Ming is doing now with the "Breath of Darkness Potion".
"Quests related to the Breath of Darkness potion? This is a big deal."
The St. Mark Sword Emperor gave up the idea of "submitting" and continued to follow Su Ming. At the same time, he sent a message to his guild - "Hongchen Pavilion".
The St. Mark Sword Emperor briefly told the story of his encounter with Su Ming and expressed his guess. Soon, the people in the Hongchen Pavilion Guild in Hierro City were mobilized by him and began to imitate Su Ming, everywhere in Hierro City.
Ask the NPC for information about the "Dark Breath Gem".

Su Ming was walking on a street filled with the sounds of vendors selling goods. From the beginning, Su Ming felt like he was being watched.
He turned his head and glanced behind him in confusion - NPCs were coming and going, and players were mixed in among them. A few players who were staring at Su Ming thought Su Ming was looking at them, so they looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
He left in a hurry.
These are just ordinary players who recognized Su Ming's identity and took a second look out of curiosity.
Su Ming frowned.
"It's not these people...there are stalkers following me." Su Ming was depressed, "Is there someone else who wants to destroy my equipment? Isn't it said that players rarely take action against players on the weekly rankings..."
Su Ming quickened his pace, pushed aside the NPCs and players blocking the way, and quickly turned into the narrow alley between the houses.
The city PK management in the Esperne area is very loose. As long as you don't alert NPCs, you won't be caught even if you PK in the city. And if you are not a big name (10 or more), it doesn't matter if you enter the city.
Su Ming confirmed that the stalker behind him had not followed him into the alley, so he activated "Deep Sea Grasp", and the octopus tentacles flew out from his neck and brought him up to the roof.
Su Ming summoned the smaller Xiao Hei, staring at the shady alley, with his sensitivity attribute fully activated.
Soon I felt a vague figure enter the alley.
"Xiao Hei, hold him down."
"kindness."
Xiao Hei charged up and ejected, falling down, knocking the St. Mark Sword Emperor out of his concentration state.
Su Ming jumped down, summoned Zuemon to surround him, and after ensuring that the stalker could not escape, asked:
"Why are you following me?"
The Holy Mark Sword Emperor did not expect that Su Ming would detect him even if he was being followed from 50 yards away. He thought to himself that he was indeed the top player in last week's new ranking. He was in great shape.
The Saint Mark Sword Emperor rolled his eyes, took the secretly taken photos in his hand, showed an awkward smile, and said:
"Aren't you trying to take pictures of the boss's heroic appearance so that you can go to various media outlets to exchange for some small money? Don't blame me... If you don't like it, I can destroy it now."
Su Ming felt helpless when he saw these blurry photos. After becoming famous, this was not the first time he encountered such a thing, so he felt that what the St. Mark Sword Emperor said should be true.
Su Ming called Xiaohei and Zuemon back to him and said:
"I hit you, I'm sorry. You can keep the photos if you want... don't stalk me in the future. Do you want me to cooperate with you and take two clear pictures?"
"Uh, no, no, boss, go ahead and do your work, I'm sorry to bother you."
Su Ming was so easy to talk to, which surprised the Saint Mark Sword Emperor.
The president of Hongchen Pavilion, "Hongchen Sword Master", is a master on the weekly rankings. He usually gives the impression of St. Mark Sword Emperor that he is like a 250 player, which makes him not have a good impression on the players on the weekly rankings.
Seeing that Su Ming was about to leave, the Saint Mark Sword Emperor stopped Su Ming.
"What are you doing? Is there anything else?" Su Ming asked.
"Well, I heard you asking about the Breath of Darkness gem..."
When Su Mingting mentioned the gemstone, his eyes lit up and he asked:
"Do you have any clues?"
The St. Mark Sword Emperor did not expect Su Ming's reaction. He thought Su Ming would hide it...
The Saint Mark Sword Emperor looked at the information exchanged rapidly in the guild channel, shook his head, and asked:
"I'm just curious, is it related to the Breath of Darkness potion?"
"It has nothing to do with the potion. It has something to do with my pet. If you have any clues, you can tell me and I can give you some reward." Su Ming handed his business card to the St. Mark Sword Emperor and left.
