Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Hour after hour passed. The two of them killed monsters at a breakneck speed, and a ton of items dropped from the ground. If they picked up all of them, Brook's backpack would be full in less than an hour.

In order to maintain his leveling efficiency, Brook only picked out the best equipment that shone brightly, as well as weapons, clothes and other items with relatively higher prices in the store. After 4 hours, Brook's backpack was finally full.

"My backpack is almost full, I have to go back to the city. You find a safe place to wait for me. On the 5th floor, in the room at the entrance of the stone tomb, or in a clothing store close to the entrance?" Brook said.

"Let's go to the clothing store," Bayin thought for a moment and replied. She was a bit tired from constantly roasting pigs, and since there were no monsters in the clothing store in the Stone Tomb Formation, she could take a break.

"Okay, then let's go to the clothing store first." For safety reasons, Brooke still had to send Bayin to the clothing store first.

The two were already very familiar with the stone tomb formation. Finding their way, they passed through three rooms and entered the clothing store. There was no one around, so it was safe.

"I'll be back soon. Wait for me." Brook said to Bayin, then flew back to the city. Bayin found a corner and closed his eyes to meditate.

Brook returned to the city and headed to the warehouse. His backpack contained over ten small, top-tier items, like the Ebony Bracelet with a magic rating of 10-0, a Magnifying Glass with a magic rating of 2-1, a Taoist Soul Armor with a magic rating of 4-0, and an Asura with a magic rating of 4-0. While they had no use for these items, they could be sold to others for tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. They were sure they would sell quickly. He decided to store them for later and sell them later.

Then he went to the clothing store and the weapon store and sold all the equipment he had picked up, for a total of 35 gold coins.

There's no need to buy magic potions for now. When they left the stone tomb, they'd bought over 80 bundles of them. Bayin was very frugal, using only 4 bundles of high-level magic potions, sparingly casting Fire Wall, slowly regenerating magic while standing still, and picking up potions dropped by monsters. After four hours of non-stop pig roasting, he only used 40 bundles of high-level magic potions. So, they didn't need to buy any more on their return to the city.

After clearing his backpack, Brooke bought some amulets from the general merchant and then headed for the stone tomb. The entrance to the stone tomb was no longer blocked, and I didn't know whether Baldy and his companions had earned enough money to buy medicine and left on their own, or if they were beaten away.

Of course, no traffic was best. Brook entered the stone tomb, and with his teleportation ring, he reached the entrance to the stone tomb formation in just over a minute. The two of them had just cleared the rooms leading to the clothing store, and now only a few newly spawned monsters were scattered around. Brook ran into the clothing store without any obstruction.

"So fast." Bayin heard Brooke's footsteps and opened her eyes. She had only rested for less than 5 minutes.

"Haha, after all, you have a divine weapon in your hand, so how can you be famous in vain? You rest for a while, I want to record some information." Brook laughed, then took out his notebook, sat aside and started writing and drawing.

Bayin knew what Brook was going to research next. She didn't ask any more questions and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

Although he already knew the route to each shop, Brook wanted to further understand the structure of the Stone Tomb Formation. During the previous pig roasting, Brook had devised a few methods. He used the information of whether a room had been cleaned, the number of monsters in it, and by deliberately dropping equipment into certain locations to mark them. He eventually calculated the number of rooms in the Stone Tomb Formation.

一共29个房间，其中4个是没有妖兽的商店。这4个商店只有左下角一个出口，其余25个房间则都有4个出口。

Brooke sketched a rough diagram of 29 rooms in his notebook. Each room was represented by a square, and each room was numbered, starting with the staircase room at the beginning, number 1, and continuing all the way to room 25. The remaining four rooms were unnumbered, simply labeled as weapons store, pharmacy, etc.

The four corners of the room are the four doors. The goal now is to match each door to the remaining room numbers. Based on the known route through the store, Brook has already marked the exits for about a third of the rooms. There may be some errors, but they can be corrected later.

Next, not only do I need to level up with the roasted pig, but I also need to refine this rough sketch of the stone tomb formation. It won't take much time, just a side job.

Brook put away his notes. After calling Bayin, the two of them left the clothing store and continued leveling up in the Stone Tomb Formation room, roasting pigs. They deliberately avoided the rooms near the stairwell entrance. This way, even if someone from the fifth floor occasionally came down, they would be trapped among the monsters in these rooms and wouldn't disturb them.

Time passed quickly and it was 11:30 in the evening. After Brook killed the last black wild boar in front of him, a golden light flashed on his body and he finally upgraded to level .

Bayin was not far away, tempting the horn fly with every sip. She had reached level 1 over an hour ago, and then continued roasting pigs with Brook until Brook also reached the next level.

This was the fifth horn fly monster she had seduced. The other four horn fly babies did not follow Bayin, but were instead scattered around the stone tomb room. This was because horn flies could not move.

The Hornfly, a monster, has no inherent offensive power. When it spots an enemy, it spits out bats, which then fly out to attack. After being successfully seduced by Bayin, its name becomes "Hornfly (Bain)", and it becomes Bayin's baby. However, the bats it spews out aren't babies; instead, it attacks the "Hornfly (Bain)" as enemies. Fortunately, Brook was nearby and cast a collective invisibility spell on the Hornfly babies, otherwise the Hornfly would have been killed by these unfilial bat sons.

Furthermore, the horn flies that successfully entice a horn fly are incredibly foolish. Even if a monster spawns nearby, they won't actively spit out bats. They only spit out bats when attacked by a monster or their master, Bayin. And they stop after spitting out a few bats, only continuing to spit out bats if Bayin continues to be attacked. Furthermore, Bayin can't be too far away, otherwise the horn flies won't be able to sense him even if he's attacked.

It couldn't move, couldn't attack, and was so stupid. This baby hornfly was simply useless. If it weren't for fulfilling the grocery store owner's mission, Bayin would never have tempted it.

Both were now level 30, and Bayin had summoned five hornflies. After a day of training in the Stone Tomb, they were both exhausted. So, they returned to Tucheng. The baby hornflies followed them back to Tucheng Square. Although hornflies couldn't move, they could still follow over long distances, or across provinces.

Bayin borrowed the teleportation ring from Brook, recorded the coordinates of several entrances and exits, and then used the teleportation ring to fly to Bicchi to complete the task.

Brook also had his own things to do. He went to the store to clean out his backpack, then went to the warehouse to take out all the small, top-quality equipment he had picked up today. Looking at the more than 40 small, top-quality items in his backpack, he didn't know how long he would be able to sell them.

Brook thought for a moment, then took off his top-grade equipment and put it away. Since he was going to the square to do business, it would be better to keep a low profile.

"Looking to buy WoMa equipment and weapons. Contact me if you have any. Price is not a problem."

"Buying Blessing Oil at a high price, 50 gold coins!"

"Selling a white tiger tooth necklace with 1 luck and 2 magic, your own price"

"I'm selling War God Armor and Ghost Battle Suit for 20 each. No bargaining. You can exchange them for Demon Robes."

"400 million for Purgatory, 300 million for the Wand, 300 million for the Silver Snake. If you have any, don't hide them."

“出售：道术1-3道德戒指15万，道术1-4竹笛20万。求购法师极品装备，最好22级就能穿的”

......

The square was bustling with hawkers shouting. Brooke observed for a while, roughly understanding the market prices. Then he went to a corner of the square and shouted:

“低价甩卖各种极品装备，加一点属性10万，加2点属性30万：攻0-2金手镯，攻0-1坚固，攻2-3翡翠项链，防4-9重盔甲，共0-22修罗，魔0-2黑檀手镯，魔1-4偃月，魔1-4放大镜，道0-1骷髅头盔，道0-4灵魂战衣......”

Brook's price was much lower than the market price and quickly attracted a group of people.

“你好，我要1-4的放大镜，1-4偃月，0-2黑檀手镯，1-3的魅力戒指。请问手镯和戒指有一对吗？”法师甲说道。

"Yes. You want a pair of bracelets and rings? Okay, a total of 60." Brook made a deal with Mage A.

"I want a 0-3 soul suit. Do you have a Taoist helmet that adds Taoist magic?" Taoist B said.

"There's a Taoist helmet with added Taoist magic, but it costs 20. Want it?"

."want!"

"Okay. Clothes and helmet, a total of 40." Brook and Taoist B completed the transaction.

“4-9防御的重盔甲，便宜点，20万卖吗?还有攻0-1坚固，5万可以吗？”战士丙问道。

"Sure! A total of 25."

"thank you boss."

"Haha, you're welcome." Brook and Warrior C completed the transaction.

......

In less than 10 minutes, all the small premium items were sold out, totaling over 500 million gold coins. The market was so hot that Brooke began to wonder if they were selling too cheaply. But it didn't matter; the sooner they sold out, the sooner they could call it a day.

Brook clapped his hands and was about to leave the square when he suddenly saw several hornfly babies appear in the square. Hey, why is Bayin back again?

"What's wrong?" Brook found Bayin and asked.

"Your guild chat is not open. I want to talk to you, but I can't contact you." Bayin said.

"Um, yes, I kept it closed because it was too noisy. What happened? Is the grocery store owner not here?" Brooke asked.

"There was a problem that was not communicated well before. The grocery store owner asked me to put the horn fly in the underground arena of the arena. It's a nice place with a large area; but the baby doesn't spit out bats. They also want me to stay in the arena and cooperate with the disciples of the martial arts hall to make the horn fly spit out bats. How can this be done? I still have to go back to the alliance to level up again." Bayin said helplessly.

"Yes, that's a problem. The grocery store owner said before that once the horn flies were summoned, he would deal with it. It seems that everyone neglected it. What happened later?" Brook asked again.

"Later we discussed it and I took the baby back to the alliance to level up again; and when the baby was about to rebel in two hours, I took the baby to Bi Qi. Once the baby rebelled, he would spit out bats continuously." Bayin said.

"Oh~ It seems this is the only way." Brook nodded, probably there was no better way.

Brook took out 300 million gold coins and gave them to Bayin. He'd been roasting pigs all day, not only reaching level 30, but also earning 600 million. They'd split the money.

"So many!" Bayin was surprised.

"It's mainly because I sold some top-grade equipment for a lot of money. Do you want to continue leveling up tonight?" Brook asked.

Bayin now has a Hornfly Baby and can no longer summon Black Maggots. Without the Baby's help, leveling up is much more difficult.

"Forget it, I won't practice anymore. I'll rest early today." Having just experienced the rapid burning of pigs in the Stone Tomb Formation, Bayin didn't want to use lightning to kill monsters one by one to level up.

"Oh, by the way, I'll return the teleportation ring to you tomorrow. You have to go to Biqi to hand in the horn flies at 1:30 AM. And the grocery store owner told me to summon more. Five horn flies aren't enough. I need 5, if possible," Bayin said angrily. This horn fly summoning task seemed simple, but it was actually quite troublesome.

"You've worked hard," Brooke said, now he could only hope the reward wasn't too bad.

The two were about to go to the inn to rest. As they walked out of Tucheng Square, they suddenly saw a few alien warriors fighting nearby for some unknown reason. One wizard even laid a wall of fire on the ground, accidentally injuring Brook and Bayin.

Brooke and Bayin glanced at the men and ignored them. Just as they were about to continue walking towards the inn, Bayin suddenly stopped and turned to look towards the square.

The owner is under attack, 5 horn fly babies are vomiting bats! They have already vomited more than 10.

Oh no! Bayin immediately ran back to the square and launched a burst of flames at the bats. Brook also reacted and immediately returned to the square, casting a collective invisibility spell on the horn flies.

Keep in mind that while the bats spit out by a horn fly have only 3 HP, effectively killing them on contact, their attack power is 0-22, making them a formidable threat. Especially with a large number of bats, they can easily kill a fully-healthed mage or Taoist priest. The two had previously conducted experiments and found that, provided the bats weren't killed, a single horn fly could spit out up to 30 bats. If these five baby horn flies continuously churned out 5 bats, in a square where many people were idle and sleeping, it would likely result in a bloody massacre.

Fortunately, Bayin reacted in time and quickly eliminated the bats, causing no casualties. The horn flies spit out bats several times, but they were all cleared away by Bayin's group skills, and they finally stopped.

Bayin breathed a sigh of relief. These horn flies were truly troublesome. They couldn't move, so Bayin had forgotten to order them to rest. After giving the order to rest, Bayin stepped on someone else's fire wall again, and sure enough, the horn flies stopped spitting out bats.

The two smiled at each other and then went to the inn to rest.

Brook returned to his room and first wrote down some @ commands for joining the guild today. He then checked the detailed information of the 29 rooms in the Stone Tomb Formation. He nodded with satisfaction and put away his notes. Then he began Xiaobai's daily training. Xiaobai seemed smarter than before.

"Xiaobai, yesterday we learned about weapons, today we will learn about jewelry."

"Jewelry can be categorized into three types: necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Let's talk about necklaces first."

"This is a gold necklace, Accuracy +2, Agility +1, Attack 0-1, can be worn at level 2. Of course, mine is a top-grade one, given to me by my master. Ordinary gold necklaces don't have the accuracy attribute. Here, let me try it on you. Well, not bad..."

Brook paused, an idea flashing in his mind. Could this really work? He immediately checked Xiaobai's stats: Attack 10-47.

47！之前7级小白的属性是10-46啊！带上金项链，居然真的加了1点攻击力！

Brook clenched his fist and swung it hard! Cool~

Why didn't you think of this earlier? It's not too late now. Great!

"Xiaobai, you look so handsome wearing the necklace. Even more handsome than me!"
