Faced with the old man's questioning, Fang Linyan immediately noticed that Xibor's body had stiffened. It was obvious that this guy had ignored his debt before bringing him here in anger.
Xibor was only embarrassed for half a second, and then immediately changed the topic:
"Old Mel, you made that hypnotic top for me. Some people said it only took one and a half hours to make, but you actually said it took you ten days?"
After Old Mel was stunned for a moment, he actually laughed and said:
"Haha, ten days is a bit exaggerated. Didn't we have to rush to work overtime in the fortress? We all took time to do it. In fact, it took four days... Wait!"
Speaking of this, Old Mel's eyes flashed:
"Someone said it can be made in one and a half hours? Is it exactly the same as mine? This is impossible!"
Xibor turned around, looked at Fang Linyan and said:
"This kid swore in front of me that he could do it, so I simply brought him over! Let him do it in front of you! If he is lying, then I will definitely give him a lesson he will never forget.
.”
Old Mel looked at Fang Linyan and said seriously:
"Child, I have also experienced impetuous adolescence. I know that sometimes when there is someone of the opposite sex next to you, those damn hormones will drive you to do something that attracts attention. I know that your nature is not bad, so
Apologize to this drunkard and I'll let you leave safely."
Fang Linyan sighed, glanced at Old Mel with a "you're still too young" look, and then said:
"With all due respect, if the hypnotic top you made is for long-term rotation, then adding three arc-shaped cutting lines at an angle of 62 degrees from above can extend the rotation time by at least 17.4%!"
Old Mel's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately extended his hand to Xibor and said:
"Give me the top."
Xibor took a deep look at Fang Linyan, obviously not expecting that his words could move Old Mel's face, and then he reached into his arms and took out the hypnotic top. Old Mel frowned and looked at it for a while, and suddenly pointed at
He pointed at Fang Linyan and said:
"You mean start from here?"
Fang Linyan said:
"No, we have to go a little further, here."
After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan stretched out his hand and nodded. Old Mel squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time. Finally, under Xibor's astonished gaze, he nodded seriously, and then the two began to discuss.
When the pain was intense, I would even squat on the ground, pick up the stones next to me, and write on the wall...
***
Half an hour later,
Old Mel closed the door in a hurry, and you could still hear his trotting footsteps. The old engineer said that his brain was full of ideas and he was in a state of inspiration, and he urgently needed to go to his private workshop.
I have to do it manually, so I have no time to receive guests.
Xibor stared at the closed door in a daze for a while, then looked at Fang Linyan and said calmly:
"Boy, let's count you lucky enough to pass today."
Then he turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Fang Linyan up and down. Suddenly he took out a long and narrow silver Western rapier from his waist and handed it to Fang Linyan:
"Run a few steps to show me. Use all your strength to run from here to the big tree, then jump up and prick the leaves on it as hard as you can, and then run back again."
When Fang Linyan saw the long and narrow silver stabbing sword, a hot feeling immediately surged out of his heart:
"Could it be that he wants to give it to me?"
So she tried her best to follow his request, but Fang Linyan had only run for two or three seconds before Xibor started shaking his head. When he jumped up, he even let out a deep sigh. When Fang Linyan ran back panting, Xibor started to shake his head.
At that moment, Xibor looked at him with contempt, then turned around and left neatly, without any hesitation...
It turns out that Fang Linyan had indeed triggered a hidden mission before. If his agility value could exceed 12 points and he had basic swordsmanship at level 2, he would be recognized by Xibor, and then start the next series of mission chains, and the final one.
The reward is Xibor's sword and his unique Western lightning triangle swordsmanship.
However, Fang Linyan's agility is only a pitiful 3 points! It's worse than normal people. As for basic swordsmanship level 2, it's more like moral integrity, something I've never even heard of...
It's no wonder that the old man Xibor turned around and left, because if he didn't leave, he would probably be unable to hold back the ancient power of his tongue and use foul language in violation of the principles of the nobility!
Fortunately, not long after Xibor turned around and left, a prompt popped up again on Fang Linyan's retina:
"Trialist No. zb419, you have successfully gained the respect and anger of Xibor."
"You meet the upgrade conditions for the title: Treat it Calmly."
"Your title: Treating things indifferently with a normal heart."
"Title: Normal Heart. Equipping this title will increase your hit rate by 0.5% when using long-range attacks. This title is authoritative and can suppress conflicting skills/titles with priority and below."
Looking at the series of prompts that popped up, Fang Linyan was confused. This title promotion should be compensation for not learning the Xibor swordsmanship.
That's fine, and the priority has been upgraded to authority. This seems to be an astonishing qualitative leap, but the problem is that the improved attributes of the title itself are too weak! What can be done by increasing the hit rate by 0.5%?
However, in this way, Fang Linyan has completed five milestones in this world and has obtained six wearable titles: Scholar, Murderer, Black Market (one-time), Stark's Favor (temporary), Normal
Heart, one shot into the soul!
When entering the world, there is a clear message that this world is a joint trial world. In addition to obtaining the above milestones, there is also an additional hidden milestone. Once more than four are unlocked in this world
(including four) milestones, you will receive additional rewards.
So speaking of it now, it can be said that Fang Linyan has overfulfilled the task, and he has received additional rewards: unique clues, which can only be claimed after the joint trial enters the third stage.
At this time, almost sixty hours had passed since the second phase of the joint trial started. Fang Linyan estimated that the third phase would soon come. He had no intention of continuing to cause trouble at this time. After yawning greatly,
I said hello to the goat and planned to eat something and then find a place to refresh myself.
Goat obviously knew much more about Yangfan City than him. When he heard that he was going to eat, he took Fang Linyan directly to a local barbecue restaurant. Although it was not yet noon, it was already crowded and we had to wait for a long time.
It took more than half an hour to sit down. At this time, the meat was sold out again, and I had to wait for the boss to get the goods. It took another hour to get the barbecue into my mouth.
It can be said that barbecue is popular in all areas, but this barbecue restaurant still left a deep impression on Fang Linyan, because its main specialty is camel barbecue, and it is still grilled in a naan pit.
It can lock in the meat juice more effectively.
The camel meat is tender and has no fishy smell, and each skewer of meat is grilled with chili, garlic, and honeydew melon in the order of one piece of meat and one vegetable. The meat grilled in this way is rich and juicy, and the vegetables are...
Mixed with oil and juice, the taste is smooth and sweet, which can be said to complement each other.
The firewood used for barbecues is a dried shrub that is a local specialty, as well as washed-up trees collected from the rivers and riverbanks during the water season every year. This way, the barbecued meat will have a special burnt aroma.
.
The meat skewers placed in front of Fang Linyan were cut into large and thick pieces. After taking a bite, he first felt a solid and elastic texture like biting into a chicken leg. Then, with a slight exertion, the tough muscle fibers were cut off, and he felt a surge of energy.
What comes out is a large amount of meat juice that floats directly on the tongue, and the taste buds immediately feedback the delicious and plump feeling back to the brain.
But at this time, the meat juice was still gushing out, and people could only lean over quickly to avoid the delicious juice dripping from the corner of the mouth from falling on the clothes. Then, with a slight look of embarrassment, they wiped the corners of the mouth with their fingers, chewed a few times, and finished the meat with satisfaction.
Swallow the piece of meat.
After finishing the first piece of meat, what I ate immediately was the mixed roasted vegetables below. The smell of roasted garlic combined with the fatty taste that had not dissipated in the mouth immediately produced a chemical reaction. Chewing the roasted garlic made people feel better.
When you are hungry, if you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be reduced by half. This saying is really well-deserved.
But what impressed Fang Linyan most was not the camel meat kebabs, but the exclusive light ale sold here.
Ale wine is a typical low-alcohol wine, not to mention that the owner of this restaurant also mixed it with water. But what is impressive is that there are a lot of ants soaked in this wine! And these ants are the famous local honeypot ants.
Honeypot ants are just like normal ants when they are ordinary. Whenever there is heavy rain, the plants will secrete a large amount of nectar, which is rare in dry desert areas. How can honeypot ants miss the opportunity to have a feast? They will
He sucked in the nectar with all his strength until his body was about to burst, like a balloon about to burst.
After a meal, the belly of a honeypot ant can reach the size of a grape! It is stretched out to be round and golden, and hangs directly above the ant nest. When food is scarce, other ants will feed on the stored nectar.
, and the honeypot ant's body will also shrink to normal levels.
When the honey pot ants soaked in the wine were bitten, they exploded directly in the mouth with a "pop", and then there was a rich sweetness and fragrance, as if flowers were blooming in the mouth, and the honey
After the remaining body of the jar ant was soaked in the wine, a wonderful chemical reaction probably occurred, and it clicked when chewed in the mouth.
How should I put it? It tastes like sesame seeds soaked in white wine and then fried. It is crispy and delicious, and has a refreshing fragrance.
