"Warning (successful perception): You have discovered a Mimic (LV10) disguised as an "unopened alien treasure chest"!"
…
Mimic.
A kind of alien creature that looks like a treasure chest. They are widely distributed in every corner of the continent of Irondor, especially in dungeons.
These nasty guys are the natural enemies of adventurers.
Not only will they secretly steal the loot that originally belonged to the adventurers, but they will not even let the adventurers themselves easily let go.
It is said that items swallowed by Mimic Monsters are often transported to an alien plane called "Treasure Box Heaven".
A being called the "King of Treasure Chests" dominates everything there.
There are legends that all the Mimics in the world were created by the King of Treasure Boxes and sent to various parts of the world through the turbulence of time and space, in order to collect treasures for Him.
Therefore, Treasure Chest Paradise must have accumulated wealth that is unimaginable to ordinary people over the countless years.
Many adventurers have dedicated their lives to tracking down the treasure chest paradise.
Unfortunately, I have never heard of anyone succeeding.
Matthew hates Mimics the most in his life!
This thing will not only completely destroy your joy when encountering a lonely treasure chest in the wild.
The key is to still be greedy for your body!
Matthew was furious and calmly summoned two horned demon zombies to block the Mimic's escape route. Then he took out the mace that originally belonged to Edson from his bag and gave the Mimic a slap in the face.
Hammer!
Thanks to the "Mace Specialization" gifted by Edson, Matthew can barely use this thing even if he lacks strength.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before the Mimic could figure out what was happening, its entire body was completely crushed!
…
"Tip: You used "Exotic Weapon: Mace" to kill a Mimic, your mace proficiency +1
You get the loot from the Mimic's belly:
two blood-stained books;
A piece of rare metal (unidentified);
One cloth glove (local armor +0.5);
a small amount of gold coins;
Three sections of well-preserved sheep intestines (one end tied up and the other open);
Two finger bones that have not been fully digested."
…
Ignore the weird stuff.
Matthew took out the two blood-stained books from the remains of the Mimic. After wiping the blood on them with a rag, the two tomes were revealed.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Underdark", author, the non-human-eating black bear monster.
The author of "Deep City Love Story" is Chunqing Zhuoer.
“Do all Underdark authors have such weird pen names?”
Matthew flipped through it for a moment and was immediately shocked!
Forget about "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Underdark". Although the author of this book has poor writing style and a confusing narrative style, it can at least introduce a little bit of the customs and customs of the Underdark.
As for how credible the customs and customs mentioned here are.
Matthew was completely unsure.
As for that "Deep City Love Story", it's completely off the mark!
Matthew glanced at the synopsis of the story and found that the book was written in the first person and described in an autobiographical way the ups and downs and soul-stirring life of a drow girl named "Mira".
The story begins with Mira's birth, to the abuse and violation she suffered from her mistress when she was a minor, and to Mira's experience of several civil wars in the Deep City as an adult. In the end, she succeeded in becoming a queen of the Deep City through various amazing tricks.
The lord of the bottom city.
The above is the content of Chapter 1.
Starting from the second chapter, Matthew’s head began to hurt violently——
After becoming the city lord, Mira truly fell in love with three male drows, and gave birth to 6 daughters to them respectively. All the male babies were drowned.
Fourteen years later, our protagonist Mira was betrayed by her eldest daughter, and the incident ended with Mira reluctantly killing her eldest daughter.
Sixteen years later, our protagonist Mira was betrayed by her second daughter, and the incident ended with Mira reluctantly murdering her second daughter.
Seventeen years later, before the third daughter could betray her, Mira reluctantly ended it.
Twenty years later, the fourth daughter, the fifth daughter and the sixth daughter joined forces to betray. Mira was forced to abdicate and was exiled to the "Cold Dragon Pond" along with her three harem members.
Along the way, the three harem members betrayed their old alliance and left Mira one after another.
In the end, only Mira consciously abided by the tradition of failure in the palace battles of the dark elves, and arduously arrived at the place of exile in the Deep City, Cold Dragon Pond.
over there.
Mila, who was hungry and cold, and had her magical abilities sealed, met many drow who had been exiled by her before.
They tortured Mira day and night.
The latter stepped towards the edge of death in despair.
It was during this process that Mira began to recall her difficult life in order to relieve the pain.
"A Love Story in the Deep City" was written under such circumstances by the heroine Mira.
The most, most outrageous thing is.
After reading it in one sitting, Matthew discovered that this was only the first half!
The ending of this work is written like this——
…
"I'm probably going to die.
The water in Hanlongtan may not be as cold as my heart. I can't feel any warmth and my body is extremely weak.
I'm definitely going to die.
Because I saw the shadow of death.
He has come to take my life.
I'm finally going to die!
Well?
grim Reaper?
how?
So gentle?
ah?
…
Voice-over: Mira met the God of Death when she was about to die, but the God of Death was unwilling to take her life. It turned out that our heroine was so beautiful that even the God of Death fell in love with her!
Death resurrected Mira, but he had conditions. He wanted Mira to give birth to many children for him, and all of them must be boys, and they must not drown after birth——
Of course Mira would not agree!
Our Drow tradition is to drown newborn baby boys.
In this way, only the strongest baby boys can survive, so that these wastes will not waste the precious food in the Deep City!
But how can she resist the power of the domineering God of Death?
Poor Mira was taken to a mysterious palace by the God of Death, suffered humiliation day and night, and gave birth to seven baby boys in three years!
When these baby boys grow up, they turn into very terrifying things. They become the tools of the God of Death to take revenge on Tianlun Palace!
After completing all this, Mira returned to the Deep City with the support of the God of Death and her sons. At this time, the Deep City was facing a huge crisis under the governance of Mira's three daughters.
Can you seize the opportunity and successfully take revenge on your daughters?
Will Mira's sons have sparks with their sisters again?
If you want to know what happens next, let us look forward to the second half of "Deep City Love Story"!"
…
"Is this really something a normal person could write?"
Matthew was deeply suspicious.
The author of this book obviously has a deep understanding of the Deep City and the customs of the drow.
This article provides an in-depth description and analysis of the social structure of the drow elves, in which women dominate, with clans as the unit, and everyone surrounding the mistress.
Moreover, he even knows about Tianlun Palace, and many details show his considerable knowledge.
But for such a profound author, the plot is so outrageous that it opens the door to outrageousness.
Matthew rarely burns books, but this book is so outrageous that many of the descriptions make his scalp numb just by keeping it.
So he planned to burn it directly to purify his soul.
The faint firelight quickly engulfed the book.
A few minutes later.
All that is left of "A Love Story in the Deep City" is a small spine made of an unknown material.
"Um?"
Matthew picked up the spine of the book from the ground, and after wiping away the ashes, he discovered a group of strange runes on the spine.
"Secrets?"
Matthew was delighted.
…
"Hint: You found the "Pink Chapter: Confused and Confused" (a broken page of the spell book).
You can insert this chapter into any spell book. All types can be adapted. After charging, you can use the spells recorded in this chapter up to three times a day. The current spell records are as follows:
Confusion: You spray out a ball of light pink mist from your mouth. The mist has a strong aroma and hormonal smell. The person enveloped in the mist will soon fall into a state of confusion and at the mercy of others.
.
The effect is better when used together with "Love Potion" or "Love Potion".
Spell base duration: 20 minutes.
Care spell: Choose a target and put a spell mark on the target for three consecutive days without disturbing the target. From the fourth day to the forty-ninth day, you can send a magic message at a specific time.
Pass it on to the other person and make them feel the warmth of care.
Note: Up to 7 targets can be "cared for" at the same time."
…
Matthew’s eyes lit up!
These two spells are very good!
In the eyes of people with XX brains, confusion and care may be just some dirty tricks. The former can only be used to force the opposite sex to indulge in lust, while the latter can only be used to chase or beat someone.
When central air conditioning.
But in Matthew's eyes, the former is a close-range sneak attack with long-lasting charm and control capabilities.
The latter can be used for directional communication, or it is also very good to use as an intimidating spell!
The only problem is adaptability.
Although the Red Pink Chapter clearly stated that all spell books can be inserted, he compared the size of his own defensive poems and the Red Pink Chapter.
The difference is a bit too much.
The Guardian Psalm is only about the size of a palm, but the spine of the book containing the Pink Chapter is three to four times as big!
"Can this be inserted?"
Matthew gave it a try.
The remaining pages slowly disappeared into the blank layer behind the guard poem.
That moment.
Matthew could clearly feel the dissatisfaction of guarding the psalms.
It is fighting hard.
But very quickly.
This resistance was shattered by the faint red light emitting from the Red Pink Chapter.
finally.
The Pink Chapter was successfully integrated into the Guardian Psalm, and its size was successfully reduced to the size of a palm.
Matthew opened the expansion page of the Guardian Psalm and found that both spells could be used now.
However, he did not try to activate it because there was no suitable target.
"The broken pages of the Pink Chapter are hidden in the spine of the book Love Story of Deep City. If this book was printed in many copies, do other books also have similar content?"
Matthew suddenly became very interested in this book.
He took out "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Dark Hell" and removed its spine, only to find it was empty.
"It seems that we can only wait until Laila wakes up before asking. She is a drow from Deep City, so she should have some knowledge of this writer."
After packing up the things left by the Mimic.
Matthew ordered the horned demon zombies to clean up the battlefield while pulling more undead from the ruins.
Others also started to take action, some helped clean up the battlefield, and some tried to find an exit.
It didn't take long.
There was another slight vibration above the cave.
Everyone changed their colors one after another.
Bobo said calmly:
"Don't be afraid, it should be the aftershocks caused by the explosion just now. I'm very experienced in this, so it won't be a big problem."
During the conversation.
Dust and stones began to fall sparsely above everyone's heads.
"It's better to find a place to hide first!"
Matthew quickly reminded.
At this time, the shaking above became even more severe, and everyone was covered in sand and dust.
Fortunately, those stalactites are still firmly attached to the stone wall.
after awhile.
The shaking disappeared and the dust gradually calmed down.
"Look, my judgment is very accurate."
Bobo adjusted the angle of his helmet proudly.
boom!
A heavy thud sounded on her head.
A bright blue object jumped up from the helmet, bounced a few times on the edge, and finally landed on the dusty ground.
"This is?"
Bobo looked down and said in surprise:
"This is a magic crystal!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, one after another voices sounded in Bobo's head.
Small blue, red or yellow stones kept falling down.
This time no one evaded.
Everyone looked at the sky with joy and let the stones hit their faces!
"High-purity magic crystals! Oh my God, there are so many, we are going to get rich!"
Li Weiqi said happily.
But the next second.
He returned to his normal expression:
"No, you are going to get rich."
"These things have nothing to do with me!"
But there was a little bit of frustration in his tone.
At this time Rhaegar came over and patted him on the shoulder, gloating and said:
"I understand you. This must be because Panlong doesn't like money. Don't worry, I will take care of your share for you."
Li Weiqi gritted his teeth and said:
"Commandments!"
"This time it's because of the commandments!"
…
A sudden rain of gems enlivened the atmosphere of the team.
Everyone put together all the magic crystals they picked up.
Matthew and Rega estimated that this small box of magic crystals could be sold for about 6,000 to 8,000 gold coins.
Evenly divided among the heads of everyone present was two thousand.
This was a huge sum of money for everyone except Rhaegar.
Bobo is better.
When Lumiere heard that these gems were extremely valuable, his eyes kept shining.
"2,000 gold coins? I can buy a lot of outside stuff for my tribe!"
He couldn't help but gear up.
See the situation.
Matthew simply suggested:
…
"I just have an idea about these magic crystals and I'm about to put it into action.
If you feel interested after listening to my plan, we will proceed as planned.
If you want to take your own share, no problem, you can allocate it on the spot now.
My plan is this:
We can use this money to establish a small chamber of commerce. The main job of the chamber of commerce is to purchase some specialties and magic props from the cities in the northern part of the Gold Coast and transport them to familiar inland areas, such as Rolling Stone Town and surrounding large cities, for sale.
Similarly, we can also sell items from Rolling Stone Town to Cordo City.
The products I selected have nearly ten times the profit margin, or even more.
As long as the quantity shipped is controlled, it will basically not affect the fluctuation of local market prices.
Therefore, it is completely feasible for us to take the high-end boutique route.
As for the most difficult route question.
I basically have a coping strategy.
Now with just a nod, you are one of the founders of this chamber of commerce.
Once the follow-up plan can be launched smoothly.
Then in the next few years or even decades.
We will all share the income generated by the Chamber of Commerce activities based on the initial shareholding status.
If the Chamber of Commerce becomes bigger and stronger from now on, you may be able to enjoy other rights and interests.
Now, do you have any details to ask?"
…
Matthew looked at everyone expectantly.
"I agree!"
Bobo raised his hand first:
"So I'm also the boss's wife now?"
Li Weiqi waved his hand:
"I don't participate in dividing money, nor do I participate in making money, but if your chamber of commerce is established, can you give me the position of honorary founder?"
"If one day I am so poor that I have nothing to eat, I can at least come to your Chamber of Commerce to help me out."
Rega looked at Matthew thoughtfully:
"How long have you been preparing for the Chamber of Commerce plan?"
"In principle, I have no objection."
"But before it is established, remember to go to the city hall and make a report. Rolling Stone Town has been vigorously supporting business in the past two years. If you ask Liz to help you handle it, you can strive for a tax-free policy for at least three years."
Only Lumière seemed a little difficult to decide:
"Matthew, I want to know if it is possible to lose money if you set up a chamber of commerce?"
Matthew said seriously:
“I don’t rule out the possibility of losing money, but I personally judge that profits are more likely.”
Lumiere struggled for a moment, but finally shook his head.
He looked at Matthew apologetically:
"Sorry, my tribe may need this money more right now."
"It can help us get out of the rainforest faster."
Matthew didn't force it.
He gave Lumiere's share to the latter on the spot.
The rest agreed that Matthew would temporarily manage the funds until the Chamber of Commerce was formally established.
Although Lumière was unwilling to invest in shares, he was very interested in the activities of the Chamber of Commerce.
He said on the spot that after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, he would be happy to work for everyone.
The road through the rainforest must also be smooth and smooth for the people from the Chamber of Commerce.
Matthew felt that he said this out of guilt, so he laughed and skipped the topic.
"So, what do we do next?"
Bobo looked at Matthew expectantly:
"Blast back the way you came, or go deeper into the dungeon?"
Haven't waited for Matthew to reply.
Everyone then sensed an abnormality coming from not far away.
"Laila?!"
I don’t know when it started.
Laila has woken up from her coma.
Her body seemed to be suspended in the air by a force, and pieces of black grease poured out from the void, complementing her body that was riddled with holes!
"Creator of dusk, Gailan, he accepted me!"
She lowered her head and murmured softly.
A dangerous aura spread quickly.
…
"Warning: Your temporary partner Lyra has been selected by "Twilight Creation: Galan" to become a "Shadowsworn"!"
