Adventurers walking on the edge of life and death are under tremendous pressure all the time, and the best way to release this pressure is women and wine.
Compared with expensive swords, various drinks and food are cheap leisure methods that are more popular among low-level adventurers.
After a day of adventure, with bulging money bags in hand, friends gather together to drink, brag, and imagine a better life after retirement. It can be said that this is the most romantic part of the adventurer culture.
Among the taverns that are popping up all over Orario, "The Hostess of Plenty" is the most special one.
Not because of the delicious dishes and mellow drinks, nor because of the lovely waitresses, what really makes this tavern famous among adventurers is the intimidating power of the owner.
One of the largest Familia in Orario, the retired former leader of the Familia of the Goddess "Freya", LV.6 adventurer, "Mia Grando" who is known as the "Little Giant".
Just asking if you are afraid?
Due to the strength and background of the shop owner, even the most arrogant adventurer would not dare to make mistakes in the shop, so this place has become the best tavern in Orario with the best dining environment - bar none.
Although the relationship between supply and demand has led to an increase in dining costs, the "Plenty of Hostess" is still full of guests at every meal time, making it difficult to find a seat. Many large families even have long-term exclusive seats here.
After all, no one wants to be drinking and bragging, and suddenly a boot flies over and sticks in the head - I just said that I am invincible, how the hell do you want me to explain to others this hidden weapon on my head?
The Ishtar Familia has its own territory and gathering place, and generally does not dine in outside taverns, but there are also long-term reserved tables at "The Hostess of Plenty".
As for the reason, of course it is because of the terrible jealousy and comparison spirit of a certain goddess.
"Freya", that little bitch smashed the things that the family members have, how can my family members not have it? No matter how much it costs, arrange it for me first!
Luo Jie also took advantage of it in disguise.
"Holy, fiery red, fleshy...this way!"
Not long after, "Holy Glory" and others arrived as promised. Luo Jie sat at the table of the Ishtar Familia, stood up and waved to the few people who were looking in at the door.
Several people came over and sat down respectively. Luo Jie called a female elf clerk with green, neck-length hair, and ordered a few of the store's signature dishes per head, plus a barrel of low-alcohol wine.
"The food in this restaurant is not cheap. The average signature set meal costs 2,000 mana per person. It seems that Brother Nightmare made a lot of money this time in the dungeon?"
"fine."
The Big Goblin is considered one of the strongest monsters in the upper level of the dungeon. The purchase price of the energy magic crystal is relatively high. Excluding the portion given to "Aisha" and the fixed commission from the family members, Luo Jie can at least be cleared.
10,000 faris is enough for this dinner.
"Oh? Then I won't be polite." "Succulent" asked "Erha" with a shy face for another piece of meat bones without seasoning, and said with envy: "With the strength of Brother Nightmare, he must be practicing in depth.
Level, right? I couldn't hold on any longer as soon as I reached the sixth floor. I was chased like a rabbit by two grandsons... Oh no, I was chased by two rabbits like a grandpa."
"Fire Red Cactus" raised his head and asked: "Night Dire, which floor are you on? My sister and I didn't see you on the seventh, eighth or ninth floor, but we did see the big iron can of "Holy Glory", which was golden and bright. Follow me and run away.
Like a Mimic."
"If you go down one more level, you'll probably see me." Luo Jie said with a smile.
"Oh? So Ye, you are on the tenth floor?" "Holy Glory" flirted with his newly-shorted blond hair, and the golden light all over his body was more dazzling than the magic crystal lamp in the tavern, "I have been down there once before.
, the defense can hold up, but the attack can't keep up. It takes at least three effective attacks to kill a big goblin. One-on-one is nothing, but once the number exceeds three, it's basically just beaten..."
"Fire Red Cactus" cut the steak viciously, and the friction between the blade and the plate made an unpleasant sound that made people's hair stand on end.
"The rules this time are really annoying. You have to start practicing from LV.1, otherwise a weak and scumbag monster like me would be left alone until I slapped each one..."
"Wait a minute." "Holy Glory" took out a triangular box with a sci-fi feel and put it on the table. After pressing the button, he said to everyone on the table: "This is a small prop I got after killing a player before. I don't know where it came from.
In which world can the sound within a certain range be collected and not spread outward, and at the same time it will not affect the entry of outside sounds. It is very suitable for use in confidential conversations... The topics we are talking about contain a lot of private information. Walls have ears, so it is better to be careful.
"
Luo Jie nodded, fully agreeing with "Holy Glory"'s caution.
"You should have noticed today that players have begun to attack each other... These people are basically the original low-level players, and only in the LV.1 period where the strength is not much different, it is possible to kill high-level players, so
During this time, these people will be particularly crazy."
"Now that the situation in the dungeon has been basically figured out, I suggest that you stop staying in the novice area and directly form a team to go down to the 10th to 12th floors. Avoid the chaos of newcomers on the upper floors and concentrate on improving the leveling efficiency. As long as you advance to LV.
2, you are basically free from the risk of being ambushed and attacked by low-level players."
Because the members of "Holy Glory" are all very powerful top players, Luo Jie would give such advice. If they are only of average level, even if they form a team and go below the tenth floor, they will only die.
"Brother Night Dire, won't you form a team with us?" "Succulents" asked.
At the same time, "Holy Glory" and "Fiery Cactus" also looked at Luo Jie. After many previous cooperations, they already had considerable trust in Luo Jie, and even felt a bit like Dinghai Shenzhen.
Luo Jie shook his head apologetically: "I have a LV.3 member of the Ishtar Familia next to me. It's not convenient for me to form a team with you for the time being... Moreover, I also want to upgrade my level as soon as possible and enter the middle tier. I always have something to say.
I have this strange feeling that I can’t help but maybe I can only get the answer by continuing deeper into the dungeon.”
"Night, do you mean "Twilight of the Gods"?" "Holy Glory" looked serious.
"Yes." Luo Jie pondered briefly, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, "Currently everyone's attention is on the plane war, and few people seem to pay attention to the "Twilight of the Gods" mentioned in the main quest.
"."
"From the literal meaning, it should be a collective death event of the gods, but considering the player's ability, it is impossible to participate in the real battle of the gods, so this "Twilight of the Gods" is most likely to be the collective repatriation of the gods to the heaven, that is
Die in the netherworld."
"But I can't figure out what would cause such a vicious incident to happen. Maybe there is information in the Adventurer's Guild, but it is definitely not accessible to new LV.1 adventurers like us. I'm afraid it must be at least like "Sword Princess-"
"Ace" Only a LV.6 like that can possibly know the truth."
"LV.6? Is this possible?" "Succulents" threw the uneaten meat bones on the plate to "Erha" who was lying at his feet, and said in disbelief: "The protagonist of the original work is because he has "a single-minded longing"
This N-times experience plug-in only took five months to reach LV.5. Even the fastest-leveling "Sword Princess-Ais" took nine years to reach LV.6... I think the system is afraid of two
Hundreds of thousands of players from each camp went all out and razed Orario to the ground, so they deliberately used rules to restrict players from using their full strength. It is estimated that by the end of the ground battle, most people will be able to have LV.4.
.”
"Holy Glory" also expressed its agreement with "Succulent Plants".
"It's true that it's meaty. I used to think that the players might be different from the natives, such as killing the same monsters to gain more "great deeds" and other privileges. But when I came back from the dungeon today, I asked "Hestia
"He updated my status and found that my "great career" has grown very normally, without any unusual spurts."
"It's convenient to have a small family. The beast god "Ganesha" family I belong to has to wait at least a week between status updates, and you have to make an appointment in advance." "Succulent" grumbled.
"maybe."
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, held his chin and fell into deep thought again.
…
After meeting several people from the "Holy Glory" at the "Mistress of Fertility" that night, Luo Jie had no further contact with anyone else from the outside world.
I go out early and come back late every day. Under the care of "Lijie-Aisha", I focus on brushing the tenth-level big Goblin.
During this period, I met more than a dozen teams of players belonging to different camps and formed a team to enter the tenth floor. However, when I saw the LV.3 "Aisha" sitting next to me, I very wisely stayed away.
Even players from the Anzhou District camp did not dare to rush forward to disturb Luo Jie before they had a clear understanding of Luo Jie's temperament.
After all, just because there is no benefit in killing someone from the same camp, it doesn't mean that you can't kill them. If you encounter a master with a weird temper, there is no room for explanation if he kills with passion.
In the mission panel, the numbers representing the scores of both camps are changing almost every moment.
Most of them are 1, and occasionally a 2 will appear. Each jump represents the death of a player from the other camp.
But numbers of 3 or higher are rarely seen.
After all, level 3 is the watershed between beginner and intermediate players. Even if they are all reduced to LV.1 in the world of "Dicuo", there are still essential differences in attributes.
Leveling up in dungeons does not have the romance of blood and swords, but only infinite repetition. Especially when you repeatedly brush the same monster on the same floor, the boring feeling is always testing the hearts of adventurers.
Affordability.
"Hey, Nightmare, can we discuss something?"
On about the tenth day, "Aisha" finally couldn't hold on any longer. As an Amazon who yearns for freedom by nature, she had never seen such a crazy maniac who continuously spawned monsters in the same place like a machine.
"Well, you say."
Luo Jie turned to look at "Aisha", and the long knife in his right hand slashed across the neck of a big goblin like a long eye. The latter fell down with a bloody line, turning into black mist and a stream of black mist that gradually dissipated.
A small piece of purple magic crystal.
"How you level up is your business. Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere, but...can you change floors occasionally? Or do you actually have any deep grudge against monsters like Big Goblin?"
"Don't worry, just watch."
While speaking, Luo Jie knelt down and patted the head of "Xiao Ke" at his feet. The toy-like dog quickly ran out on its short legs and ran back within a minute.
Black shadows swayed in the mist, and more than twenty big goblins followed behind with blood-red eyes and panting. After seeing Luo Jie, they immediately gave up chasing "Xiao Ke" and rushed towards Luo Jie with strange screams.
.
"Gan!"
"Ayesha" jumped up from the rock several meters high in excitement, grabbed the big knife at hand and rushed to rescue her.
However, they saw that Luo Jie did not turn around and run away at all. Instead, he walked towards the front with slow and unhurried steps. Just when he was about to come into contact with the big brother Blin's forward, he suddenly passed by as if he was moving in fast forward.
He appeared behind many big goblins with his sword drawn.
A sword light that seemed to have been delayed for several seconds lit up against the dark background. Twenty-odd goblins turned their heads neatly, and in the dense black mist that collapsed, dots of magic crystals appeared one after another.
It landed on the ground and made a pleasant tinkling sound.
Each copy needs to explain a lot of things at the beginning, so it may be a little dull...Okay, I admit that I write too slowly. If I wrote 10,000 words a day, I wouldn't feel this way, but I am also very desperate. Now
It's National Day, you have a holiday, and so do your children...
