I submitted my application at noon, and received a notification in the afternoon that I had successfully joined the Life Sect and been added to the internal group. Along with the notification, there was also a package from the Garden Association in the same city, which contained 10 kinds of fruit combinations.
Special brandy brewed, three flowers of the Eden tree, and a citrine ring symbolizing the membership certificate.
So what are you waiting for? The potion is boiling.
Taking out the newly purchased crucible, Asker poured brandy into it, and the fragrant aroma suddenly filled the entire study.
Asker scooped out Corfu olive oil and poured a spoonful into the brandy. The liquid in the crucible immediately showed obvious stratification. He took out another Eden fruit, cut it in half with a fruit knife skillfully, and cut it open.
Take two seeds, mash them and throw them into the crucible.
The fragments of the Fruit of Eden seeds passed through the oil and fell into the wine, where they quickly dissolved. What also changed was the oil layer. Its height continued to decrease, while the height of the wine continued to rise, as if there was a mystery.
The power of the oil is constantly transforming it into wine.
"Which of you wants to eat the rest of the Eden fruit?" Ask asked everyone who was watching, holding the Eden fruit cut in half and removing the seeds.
"Can't you keep it for next time?" Nora raised her hand and asked.
"It's been cut open, and the spirit will dissipate before tonight." Ask said, "It's better to eat it."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. The Fruit of Eden is a spiritual material! Can it be eaten? Won't there be any changes or something like that after eating it?
Seeing that no one dared to eat it, Asker picked it up and took a bite. The pulp was not sweet, but it was surprisingly sweet and juicy, with a small amount of supernatural power. He finished the entire Eden Fruit in three or two mouthfuls.
.
There is nothing wrong with eating the Fruit of Eden alone. In addition to satisfying cravings, it can also replenish extraordinary strength. However, you cannot eat other spiritual materials before digestion, otherwise once the two are mixed in the stomach, it will become a physical crucible for refining demons.
Medicine is still destined to fail, and the end will not be much better.
Finally, Asker carefully took out the Flower of Eden Tree and gently placed it on the surface of the liquid. The flower gradually sank to the bottom of the liquid like a boat with a hole in it. At the same time, the petals also changed from their original pink color to
Gradually it was dyed with bright light gold.
Finally, the flowers sank into the liquid, and the entire pot of liquid also turned pale gold. Asik poured the magic potion into the bottle and handed it to Nora: "Are you excited?"
"Excited!" Nora said excitedly. She was finally going to become the transcendent she dreamed of, how could she not be excited?
"Then calm down first." Asik took the potion back. "Being too excited will increase the risk of losing control."
"What should we do?" Nora asked with a sad face.
"Sit down and meditate first."
So Nora sat on the floor, meditated for about five or six minutes, then opened her eyes and said calmly: "I'm fine."
She took the potion handed over by Asker, drank it in one gulp, and chewed up the flowers inside and swallowed it. Suddenly, pale golden lines appeared from her face and neck, with some mysterious and weird feeling.
Temperament. Her hair suddenly grew longer at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost dragging it around the ground several times. The heartbeat in her chest began to amplify to the point where it was clearly audible, as if a heavy drum was being beaten rhythmically.
The blow made Eleanor next to her become worried, fearing that she would lose control and die in the next second.
Finally, Nora stood up, and all the bones in her body suddenly crackled.
"It worked." she said.
"How do you feel?" Eleanor asked with concern.
"It feels..." Nora said in a chant-like tone, "It's great."
She took out a pen and paper from her breast pocket, started writing, and then showed it to everyone:
Extraordinary people with Life I can ignore obstacles and sense nearby living entities; they can freely control the growth of plants, the reproduction of microorganisms, and the cell differentiation of animal tissues; they can help their companions heal wounds through physical contact.
The last one truly reflects her value as a "therapy".
"Great." Asker said, "Now we are all on level 1. What everyone has to do next is to digest the extraordinary power corresponding to the extraordinary traits in the body as soon as possible and prepare for the second potion formula.
"
"Eleanor, Crusader route, the next potion is Perfect Body X, I have the formula."
"Nora, on the Life Singer route, the next potion is Spirit I. I also have the formula."
"Peggy, on the Lord of Filth route, the next potion is Life Stealing I. The formula and materials are all ready and waiting to be digested."
"Medea, Purgatory Succubus Route, the next potion is Desire I, I have a formula, but I still need the materials."
He handed the formulas for Perfect Body X and Spirit Body I to Eleanor and Nora respectively. The latter was recording the potion progress of everyone in the team and suddenly asked:
"Ask, what is your bloodline route? Do you have the next potion formula?"
"I chose 'Weapon Master'." Ask replied, "The next potion is Sharp Weapon I, which can give me the ability to use any sharp weapon, such as knives, swords, guns and daggers. I remember the formula.
We just need materials now.”
"Okay." Nora nodded, "So the team's top priority is actually to digest the potion as quickly as possible."
"That's right." Asik said, "But since everyone has reached level 1, their combat abilities are basically there. We can first register with the mercenary guild, and then take on some combat missions to practice our skills."
………………
There are basically two types of civilian NPC teams in the game. One is the mercenary group and the other is the adventure group.
The difference between the two is that the daily business of the mercenary group is to accept commissions from the guild and make money by completing tasks; while the daily business of the adventure group is to explore ruins (download dungeons), fight extraordinary creatures, and collect some antiquities to sell for money.
.
If you include illegal organizations that are not officially recognized, then there are thieves groups, killer groups, bandits groups, pirate groups, etc., and the organizational forms are endless. But in essence, the ultimate purpose of all teams' existence is
It's to make money.
A team that cannot make money, even an idol group, cannot survive.
In the mysterious world where extraordinary power exists, the team has an additional ultimate goal: to become stronger. In fact, the two are not conflicting. Of course, you can become stronger if you have money. The RMB Warrior is the best example. The price of becoming stronger is only a short time.
It may be that he has become poor, but in the long run it is still enough to make a fortune. Didn't you see that Asker made about 700 pounds by killing a Level 2 member of the Spiritual Body Sect? How long does it take to get the same amount of money just by renting his two shops?
?
If it is a team of players, the motivation is even more pure - to have fun. So everyone will basically register as a mercenary group, and actually do everything from downloading dungeons to completing tasks.
Arriving at the Mercenary Guild in Constantinople, Asik finally got the mercenary group application form after going through a tedious application process. The first option made everyone worry.
The name of the mercenary group.
"What about the Knights of Justice?" Eleanor suggested.
"No!" Others quickly refused, saying such an old-fashioned name would make people laugh to death.
"It should be a more fierce name, one with murderous intent." Peggy said, "Revenge Alliance?"
"Rejection will cause copyright disputes," Aske said.
Paige:???
"Why don't you give it a wild and unruly name?" Medea suggested, "Fire Rose?"
"No way." Ask said, "It's too girly."
"What do you mean you're too girly?" Medea said dissatisfied, "Four of the five members of our team are women, what's wrong with having a beautiful name?"
"I am the leader." Aske said. This is more convincing than whether the name is aesthetic or not.
"Are we all named incompetent stars?" Ask expressed despair.
"Or," Nora said at the end, "you can call it a more common name. For example, Blue Sword?"
"That's it." Asik agreed.
"Wait a minute, does the Cangqing Sword have any special meaning?" Medea protested, "Cangqing? Long sword? I don't understand it at all!"
"Ahem." Nora said with some embarrassment, "The name Blue Sword comes from a legendary novel I read before."
"So it still has a source, right?" Ask replied, "You can take a look at the common names of mercenary groups. Basically, they are called swords, shields, and spears. Because the names are left by mercenary groups.
The first impression, for example, in the name of weapons, will make people understand that this mercenary group is mainly about fighting."
"Eleanor's 'Knights of Justice', no mercenary group is called Knights now. Knights are only loyal to lords, which makes people think that we only serve nobles, and the prefix of 'Justice' implies that we
I am very picky, so I reject it; Paige's 'Revenge League' sounds like the name of a killer group, because people who need revenge will only find killers. This name will definitely not pass the guild review, so I reject it; Medea's'
"Fire Rose', flame is the symbol of the mage, do you know what the rose is a symbol of? Drama, dances and prostitutes! There will be a lot of chaotic customers coming, so I reject it."
"It's better to call it the 'Cang Qing Sword'." Hearing that what he said was reasonable, the three girls couldn't refute it and had no choice but to give up.
So the Blue Sword Mercenary Group was officially established. Looking at the list of team members, Asik suddenly had an idea in his mind.
The proportion of professions in our mercenary group is very reasonable. MT, control, output, and treatment are all complete. He is not only a commander, but can also play any role except treatment when necessary, but...
Are there too many female members? Why does it seem like I am the only male? The gender ratio is a bit disparity!
Of course, Asik, who grew up in a modern society, would not have any discrimination against women.
Especially in games, the gender of NPCs is just an attribute. There is no evidence that female NPCs are weaker than male NPCs. Otherwise, the game "Iron and Fire" would not be able to pass the review in Europe and the United States, which pay attention to political correctness.
Hmm, hmm, this must be just a coincidence. I didn't deliberately choose female members to join my team, it's just that all the suitable people I met happened to be female NPCs, hahaha.
Asik convinced himself in his mind, and then looked up at the girls, they were indeed young fighting talents with great potential.
For example, Eleanor, a heroic beauty with long blond hair, has a calm personality and solid fighting skills, so she is very suitable for being a MT.
Another example is the young and pretty girl Nora with short flaxen hair and a serious medical background. Is there anyone more suitable to be a therapist than her? No.
Let’s look at the little beauty Peggy with short black hair and her hair hanging down in pigtails. She is a vampire, and her combat power is one of the best in the lower ranks. Isn’t it a waste if she doesn’t use agility as an output?
There is also this charming girl with burgundy hair, Medea, a psion of the succubus route. Can Constantinople find another psion? Maybe there is, but I don’t know her at all!
So I didn’t deliberately choose female NPCs, it’s because they are the ones who best fit the role of my team. Everything is a choice of fate!
Asik looked at these four beauties with different races, ages, occupations, and even hair colors, and suddenly felt guilty again.
Why do they all seem to be beautiful NPCs? Is this also a coincidence?
Being looked at by Asker's gaze, everyone looked puzzled.
