Sherlock didn't know when he became so rich, but now he has so many high-reward tasks, and wasting time to upgrade in ordinary ways would be a bit of a waste.
Spend money to improve your level as quickly as possible and complete more difficult tasks and commissions. This is a virtuous cycle.
Time passed little by little, and everyone's cooperation gradually became tacit, and there was no need to be as cautious as at the beginning.
"Feng Yin, have you ever walked into the cave to take a look?" Sherlock asked while taking a sip of Zhonglan.
"Don't tell me, I actually went in once, but I was chased out by swarms of underground flying ants after not taking a few steps. If it weren't for the Wind Body Technique, I probably would have had to explain myself inside that time." Feng Yin.
He said with lingering fear.
"Many of us have speculated that there may be some ruins or secrets inside, but even thieves with full stealth points can't get in, and the rest of us don't even dare to try. We can only wait until the level rises."
There are definitely a lot of knowledgeable people in the game. If you think about how many people have died in the vortex in the middle of the lake in Lou Lanjing, you can guess how many people have enjoyed the Heart-Eating Meal by Ten Thousand Ants.
Sherlock thought there was nothing special about it. Since others had tried it before, he gave up the idea of finding out.
Twelve hours later, with a system prompt, his level also rose to level 21, which has reached 3 to 4 times the normal upgrade speed.
As for consumption, he used a total of nearly 400 bottles of medium blue, and returned to the city once for replenishment. Adding other potions, minus the distribution income, the expenditure was about 7,000 gold, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
After another four hours of grinding, their money-burning journey came to an end. Except for Feng Yin, the other three elemental magicians were all real wealthy players. It was obviously not good for them to continue to carry out such a boring upgrade process.
Impossible.
Sherlock was the only one left, so he had to go to the regional forum to find other upgrade teams.
What's depressing is that many captains don't care when they see that the profession is Druid. The few times they join the team, they are just a bunch of people who have been randomly put together. He curiously asked about the range of damage per second, and some people said no.
Got it.
He wasted more than an hour running around, but still failed to form a team, and his enthusiasm for upgrading was also worn away bit by bit. Just when he was about to return to the city out of interest, another message from Muliuxi let him know
He stayed.
Of course, a thief on the other side didn't ask him to upgrade, but asked him to explore the lost dwarf castle.
This kind of exploration plot is the same as the mechanism of the mine. It is equivalent to a one-time public copy. But if it is really a lost dwarf castle, the rewards after exploring it are simply immeasurable. I don’t know which lucky person will discover this this time.
Plant a place.
From the commission he needs to issue, it can be seen that this person should be an individual player, and such a generous distribution method means that the other party does not care about the possible profits.
This time, the entrusting employer replaced the commission with the right to distribute items in the task, and it was for all items except one.
The other party claimed that they wanted to capture a mysterious creature in the castle. As for what creature it was, and how to capture it, they did not elaborate.
In addition, the location of this dwarf city is very interesting. It happens to be near the stone forest where he is located. Coupled with the recent appearance of underground flying ants in this area, many things seem to be clarified.
The coincidence didn't stop there. When Sherlock met the other four people, in addition to Muliuxi, there was an acquaintance in the team. He was the light-armored warrior Wings on Yuncai who he had met while rescuing the Crow Society informant.
, he is the employer of this commission.
In addition to the thief Muriuki, the other three people also include a female elf warlock Hagoromo and a dwarf paladin Taragon.
Like Sherlock, the other two are also professional players, and they are both in first-class professional circles. Players with insufficient status are not qualified to take on tasks of this level.
Why do we say status rather than strength? Because when issuing relatively high-value commissions, the strength of the employee is important, but reputation is also a condition that cannot be ignored.
There is no good person under the reputation. This rule is quite accurate in the professional circle.
In this game, Sherlock's performance has gradually spread in the professional circle, and his strength has been recognized. There are even intelligence organizations that have collected and sorted out his talents, abilities, and fighting methods, and listed them in salable information.
"Brother Frog, I'm sorry." As soon as the two parties met, the wings on the cloud said apologetically.
This is unclear, and only the person involved knows what to say.
When he was in the cave ruins before, Sherlock felt that the place was a bit strange, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't think much about it and left after rescuing the people.
Now that the other party has spoken, it is obvious that he discovered something abnormal at the beginning, so he stayed alone, and that is why he now talks about exploring the dwarf castle.
This is something that no one would be willing to share with anyone else, and it is morally justified, and the other party's current apology is just a polite gesture.
"It's nothing. This kind of thing is based on everyone's ability. I didn't see it, so I can only say that skills are inferior to others." How can one person take advantage of all the benefits in the game, so Sherlock is also very open-minded. Anyway, some of them are drunk.
Just soup.
The fact was just as he guessed, the wings on the clouds took them all the way into the cave last time and went straight to the third floor.
At this moment, the rubble accumulated in the three-story hall has been cleared away, and a narrow passage opposite the door has revealed its original appearance.
Sherlock said it happily before, but he couldn't help but regret it after seeing it. With his perception ability, he should be able to discover this secret door, not to mention that he had the lucky blessing of the elixir at that time, so he could only
It is said that Lady Luck is really fickle.
Passing through the secret door is a narrow platform with a crudely crafted spiral staircase spiraling downwards on the edge of the platform.
"Follow me! Watch your feet." It seems that this is not the first time Wings on the Clouds has explored this castle.
Several people followed each other all the way down, and the outline of a castle gradually emerged from the darkness in front of everyone.
This underground castle seems to have been abandoned long ago, but the magnificent building still gives people a huge shock.
Their current location should be in the garden on the east side of the castle, but this place that once seemed to be a garden is now covered in bones, the surroundings are silent, and even the air is filled with the smell of death.
Contrary to Sherlock's expectation, this castle is not uninhabited by creatures. In addition to the dire rats scurrying around, there is actually a tribe of kobolds living here, and the chicken wings seem to have established a certain connection with them.
