As the old saying goes: Go into the mountains and ask the woodcutter, go into the water and ask the fishermen.
Naturally, the locals of Gensokyo have the deepest understanding of Gensokyo.
Especially these ghost players who basically don’t have to worry about being attacked by monsters because they have no flesh and blood.
"I am a chef." After learning that Cheng Peng was looking for Wuyu Magic Shop, the player who volunteered to guide him said, "I work as a chef in Baiyu Tower, and the Nether Messenger and the like are just part-time jobs."
"Can this also be part-time?" Cheng Peng was curious.[
The Japanese player named Dongliu and Xingchen turned his body into a drop-shaped mist and floated in the air. He seemed to be having a great time.
"There's nothing I can do. After all, there are only so many jobs in Baiyulou. I have to find some work in my spare time, right?"
“Isn’t it good to practice leveling in your free time?”
"I don't want to be in trouble with those guys who call themselves 'monster hunters' carrying swords and looking for wild beasts. It's more leisurely to patrol with these companions. Anyway, I have experience points."
"During working hours, I work as a chef at Baiyulou. If I'm lucky, Miss Youmeng will teach me a knife or two - there's really no difference between cutting vegetables and people anyway. After my shift changes, I'll just find a team of Nether Messengers.
Join them on patrol... It's a very stable and good way of life." Dongliu transformed from the mist into a human form, standing gently and deftly on the head of a mushroom monster with a big mouth, no matter how hard the opponent bites it, it won't move.
Sincerely.
Maybe this is just playing a game, because the mushroom monster obviously has no ability to attack spirits.
"Can one person join several organizations?" Cheng Peng was a little surprised.
"Of course. So far in Gensokyo, we have very few unions in the true sense. Most organizations are informal and come and go freely." Dongliu said and laughed, "Did you know? There are some born dolls.
Players will take turns working with the magic doll Alice and the poisonous doll Metisine - the latter obviously regards the former as a sworn enemy."
Cheng Peng couldn't help but laugh as he imagined the scene where players were working back and forth between two mortal enemies.
"I think this is a bit...moral..."
"Can moral integrity be eaten? Or can it be sold for hundreds of thousands?"
While talking and laughing, the two of them bypassed many large trees that looked exactly the same and came to an open space in the dense forest.
In the open space, there stood a slightly crude house. On the door of the house was a sign with only one nail left, which seemed like it might fall off at any time.
Kiryu Magic Shop.
"Okay, this is it." Dongliu Xingchen waved his hand, turning into transparent mist and dissipating in the miasma, "Goodbye, come to Baiyulou when you have time, I'll treat you to braised tofu."
Braised tofu...
Cheng Peng imagined the bland food and couldn't help but sigh at the Japanese eating habits.
Even in the world of Datong, they seem to be unable to learn the wonderful enjoyment of "food"...
The location of "Wuyu Magic Shop" was marked on the system map - only then did Cheng Peng realize that it was not far from the entrance to the Magic Forest, not far from the human world.[
"No wonder I can't find it. It turns out I went all the way inside..."
Cheng Peng looked at the places marked on the map and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Even though Kiriyu Magic Shop was at the entrance of the Magic Forest, he actually ran all the way to the deepest part of the Magic Forest, almost crossing the boundary between life and death and entering the underworld...
Could it be that he was also infected by the atmosphere of Gensokyo and suddenly suffered from wanderlust?
Although Lu Chi can be regarded as a cute person, Cheng Peng is a serious hard-working master, so how can he be related to "cute"!
So Cheng Peng secretly made up his mind to follow the map at all times in the future!
Probably because being lost for most of the day had exhausted all his bad luck, Cheng Peng unexpectedly met Kirisame Marisa, the owner of the Kirisame Magic Shop, who was said to be often absent.
"Welcome!" The magician wearing a loose black robe, a white shirt, and an even wider black hat said loudly, "You must want to buy something, right?"
He is a very cheerful and straightforward person, Cheng Peng made such a judgment.
So he made a commission.
"Do you want to improve your magic power?" The black and white magician observed Cheng Peng with interest for a while, then nodded, "Well, depending on your physique, you should be able to use that method."
Then the young magician abandoned his customers and ran into the room that was almost as messy as a garbage dump. He didn't know what he was messing with.
Cheng Peng sat at the entrance, the only tidy entrance in the entire magic shop, and waited patiently.
The Who's Who in Gensokyo says that Marisa Kirisame is a very reliable person. Although she looks too young and rash in appearance, there is no doubt about her strength, and she will definitely do what she promised seriously, even though it is not
You may not be successful, but you will only receive compensation if you succeed. As a businessman, your credibility is impeccable.
About five minutes later, the black and white magician came out with a cup of steaming drink.
"Drink it while it's hot, it will definitely be effective!" She said confidently, "This is a method with sufficient factual basis and is absolutely reliable!"
Cheng Peng frowned slightly as he looked at the cup of drink with tiny colorful particles floating in it and a slightly pungent and strange smell.
Although he is not picky about food, it does require considerable mental endurance to drink such a weird thing.
However, he did not hesitate for a long time and just asked: "Is there any problem if I let it cool down a little?"
"No problem, as long as it doesn't take too long."
So Cheng Peng raised his right hand to hold down the cup, and the Bing Xuan Jin moved away slightly, and the hot drink turned into warm water.
In order to avoid being shaken, he simply closed his eyes, raised his head and drank the glass of strange stuff without missing a drop.[
"Okay." Marisa said with satisfaction, "Now we just wait for the mushroom to take effect..."
mushroom?!
Cheng Peng felt that he probably already knew the ingredients of this drink.
Mushrooms that suddenly pop out of the ground.
A mushroom with a mouth that wants to eat people.
Mushrooms capable of shooting screens.
The system instructions clearly say "inedible" mushrooms...
Then he started to feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
No...it's definitely not a psychological effect!
It was as if there was a fire burning in the stomach, and the internal organs seemed to be roasted... The pain was heartbreaking...
Cheng Peng staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
The last sight that caught his eye was that the surrounding scenery had all turned into monotonous black and white, which reminded him of the cheerful smile of a black and white magician.
When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by rolling heat waves and a huge voice roared in the flames.
"Dead from another world! Where are you going?"
Cheng Peng hesitated.
He knew that this was asking players to choose a rebirth location, but why were there so many alternative places besides the "Hakurei Shrine" he originally selected?
Baiyu Tower, the other side... He has never been to these places, so why are they included in his resurrection location?
Just when he was about to choose Hakurei Shrine, he suddenly remembered the smile of the magician who brought out the drink.
It's probably not a malicious tease, right?
Well, it would be good to at least ask...
So he raised his head and expressed his choice.
"Accept the double penalty of weakness, and I will be resurrected on the spot."
Resurrection in situ, this is a small modification recently made to the "Adventure" system
The game system often undergoes some updates, and many settings that are full of artistic youth looking for trouble and are not humane enough are modified one after another. For example, players who are injured, disabled, poisoned, etc. with abnormal conditions can avoid recuperation through death; for example
He said that if you don't drink that damn bitter medicine during the recovery period, it won't affect the recovery speed too much... etc.
Resurrection in place is a new feature released after a small update not long ago.
It is completely different from Brother Faith
All attributes will be halved on the basis of "weakness" that is completely halved, becoming "extremely weak", the weakness time will be doubled, and the durability loss of equipment will also be greatly increased.
If you die again in this situation, you will be immediately sent to the Star Gate and thrown out of this world. You must wait patiently at the Star Gate until the weak state ends before you can come back.
So generally speaking, players will not choose this method of resurrection unless they have to.
The flames of hell faded away, and the surrounding scenery became dark again.
When Cheng Peng opened his eyes, he felt a dull pain all over his body. His originally light body was almost too heavy to get up.
"Sorry, sorry!" He heard the magician's apologetic voice, "Maybe those mushrooms have been in the sun for too long, and the medicinal properties have been concentrated a bit too much."
"It's really a mushroom!" So he couldn't help but say, "It's just toxic, that thing doesn't look like it's edible!"
"It's not for eating, but for exercise." Marisa replied, "The mushrooms in the magic forest are the source of magic and are also the best magic ingredients."
Taking advantage of someone's weakness, the young black and white magician began to explain in detail about mushrooms.
She spoke very quickly, but Cheng Peng's head was buzzing due to the punishment of being doubly weak, so at the end of the hearing, he only understood some basic content:
The mushrooms in the Magic Forest contain magic and poison, and the two are inseparable from each other.
If you eat the mushroom, you will be poisoned and at the same time, you can absorb part of the magic power.
If made properly, mushrooms can also be used as powerful magic materials to perform powerful magic.
Many people have tried the method of cultivating magic power by eating mushrooms, and there are many who have succeeded, such as Marisa herself.
In other words, as long as you are not afraid of being poisoned, this method can indeed effectively increase your magic power.
However, the drink Marisa gave to Cheng Peng was prepared at the dosage she usually took. Although Cheng Peng's body was very strong, it could not be compared with Marisa, who already had a certain degree of resistance to poison.
So he died depressingly. As the best master in the world, Cheng Peng had never died before. For example, in the tug-of-war at Hulao Pass, he was chopped into two pieces by Lu Bu who launched a surprise attack at the cost of five hook spears.
The feathers on Lu Bu's golden crown were swept away; when he went to the dark world to level up alone, he was electrocuted by a large group of discharge beetles and turned into coke. Then he asked the gold medal mt Li Wei to help... But it was the first time that he died in such a depressed way.
After a while, Marisa left in a hurry because she had something to do. Before leaving, Cheng Peng, who had moved his power, moved into her magic research studio. It was actually just a room in Kirisame Magic Shop and left a copy.
Detailed "Mushroom Drink Mixing Guide".
Looking at the detailed information and Marisa's apologetic face, Cheng Peng took a long breath. Regardless of the tingling pain and fatigue in his body, he tried to get up, turned over and sat upright, then lowered his head deeply, and his forehead fell on the button.
On hands on the ground.
Anyone who is willing to teach him his unique secret privately, whether it is a white-haired old Yangzhou martial arts master or a straightforward and reckless forest girl, is worthy of his discipleship!
Marisa had obviously never seen such a formation before. She immediately got confused and rushed out the door in a confused voice. She got on the broom as if she was running for her life and flew away without a trace.
Cheng Peng smiled and opened the system message.
Of course, no confirmation of the master-disciple relationship was received.
But he saw a very unexpected message.
"You took a highly poisonous mushroom, and in the process of using your internal power to fight it, your true energy improved slightly!"
