eternal glory

Uncle Baron also has troubles, but there is nothing he can do about it. The new mayor of Qunshu Town is not a good guy, he is just scratching the ground to search for money, and the villages under his jurisdiction are working very hard.

"I remember that old lady was not very kind?" Mu Ning didn't understand.

"It's not her. You don't know our Whistler tradition. A kind-hearted person like her is not used to fighting at all, and has already been squeezed away." The village chief shook his head: "Forget about those annoying things , I'll get some stones to surround the flower trees and make a flower garden, which should be good." The village elder also loves this beautiful flower tree.

Of course, Mu Ning knew that Uncle Baron also had his own troubles. Now that there is a mayor who has no heart to siphon money, the village will always be exploited. Even if he wants to develop, there is no way to continue. No wonder the village chief sighs.

Mu Ning asked the village head Baron: "Uncle, how do you think our village can develop into a town, or even a city?"

"Difficult!" The handsome uncle shook his head straightly: "You think I don't want to? I can advance to the blue rank when I am promoted to the town, but the village needs prosperity, money, population, popularity, influence, and resources... these Our village doesn’t have any.”

Isn't it?

As soon as the novices leave the village, Rongshu Village will be completely silent. Where will the population come from?

Without population, who will produce and who will consume?

Therefore, it is too difficult for Xinshou Village to develop, and the village elder can't see a way out.

The money was originally there, but the new mayor said that the settlement fee should be handed over to a unified distribution. In the end, it was handed in, but there was no news about the distribution.

"Famousness and influence, right?" Mu Ning stretched his waist: "I know."

Mu Ning reached the ground with the revolving wooden ladder. The construction of Pudding Cat's hut was nearing completion. Just waiting for various furniture to be added in would make it a typical cozy log cabin where local life lived.

There is no such thing as jewel glass in the game now, so the cabin does not have big windows, but it is simple and cute. Standing on a small platform several meters high is very interesting, with the dense canopy of a big banyan tree as the background. Elegant and quiet, everyone I like it very much.

You know, the feeling of this kind of cabin in the forest is full of simple and mysterious magical style, and the design of the doors and windows is also made according to the pudding cat's preferences, and the girls are so happy from ear to ear.

"The house is quite spacious, but the furniture is lacking." The village chief looked left and right. These players have slightly changed the layout of the ordinary wooden house, and it is really beautiful. "The platform is so spacious, it would be a shame not to plant a small garden." Liu Zhe cheerfully suggested that Pudding Cat already agreed. The colorful rose wall at the door of Aunt Jin has completely changed her prejudice against small flower species, and she likes it very much. up.

Since it is surrounded by forests, the price of wood in the village is cheap, and the so-called "hut" of Pudding Cat is also a circle larger than ordinary houses under the deliberate instigation of Mu Ning and Liu Zhe.

Mu Ning also intended to help her design a circular covered terrace protruding obliquely from the side of the hut. When the time comes, swing chairs and small tables will be placed, and flowers will be planted under the terrace. It will definitely be a great place for little girls to hang out and chat.

The wooden house of Pudding Cat made the players of Rongshu Village jealous, and they were full of expectations for the settlement and construction of houses in the game.

Liu Zhe also wants to see his and Ningning's room sooner and more, haha.

"Both, we won't be playing dungeons today, how about taking the two of you to the PK field?"

Liu Zhe agreed with both hands.

Pudding Cat originally wanted to make a dungeon and bring back some flower seeds to decorate the garden of his new home, but he couldn't stand the charm of PK, so he changed into a metal armor and prepared to show his talents without saying a word.

The three heroes of Banyan Tree Village and their two attendants were ready to go. When passing by the small square, Mu Ning saw the village elder who was flirting under the flower tree chatting and laughing with his wife who came to deliver lunch.

Uncle Baron's wife is a very kind woman. She is a gray rank NPC who occasionally works in a jewelry store, but rarely communicates with players.Now she is sitting under the flower tree watching her husband eat the dishes she cooked, with a happy smile on her face.While eating, the uncle told her what happened in the village. She listened quietly with her head tilted, nodding and covering her mouth and laughing from time to time.

"Good afternoon, Auntie Zhenni!" Liu Zhe greeted them, "Uncle, no one is coming to you to pick up the mission, why don't you go home for dinner?" Now the newcomers have left the village in large numbers, and the village chief's job has quickly become idle up.

In the past, he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, so even though his home was very close, he had to deliver food, for fear that the players would not be able to find him.It's different now, no one may come to him after standing for more than an hour.

"It's only been like this for a day or two. Besides, eating under the flower tree is so romantic. Your Aunt Zhen Ni also likes this beautiful country bell flower." The appearance of the handsome uncle and his wife eating under the flower tree under an umbrella is indeed very romantic. .

Mu Ning also knew that Uncle Baron was reluctant to part with his job, and his earnestness in doing things was infectious.

"Village Chief, what will happen if I bring back the statue of the victorious hero from the Arena of Life and Death to our village?" Mu Ning asked without beginning or end.

The uncle was drinking soup, and raised his head stupidly: "What will happen?" He raised his eyebrows: "You come to be the village chief, and the whole village will be your cattle and horses." He didn't believe that Mu Ning had that ability at all. Young ambitions are not small.

"It's a deal!" Mu Ning hugged Liu Zhe's shoulders and went to the station with a laugh and a smile with the royal tank.

When registering in Qunshu Town, Mu Ning applied for the arena of life and death for himself, and the arena for Liu Zhe and Pudding Cat. In the arena, players will only be ejected from the arena if they lose, and will not die.

But Liu Zhe was so free and easy, Pudding Cat was more confident: "It's just a game, what's the point of dying once?"

Seeing that all three of them had registered for the life-and-death duel, the wretched-looking little registrar sarcastically said with a half-hearted smile, "Oh, we also have three overconfident men from Qunshu Town!"

If it weren't for Liu Zhe's quick pull, Pudding Cat could smash the head of this idiot with a shield.

The three of them sat down in the waiting hall. Since they were matched with NPCs by level 1 players of the entire human race, they received a prompt to enter the arena within a minute.

The pudding cat entered the stage first, and then Mu Ning matched up with his opponent, Luhua and Hongyun, and appeared in the cage of the arena together. After 15 seconds, the dark cage opened, and outside was a round black land under the scorching sun. Apparently, this land has been full of blood, exuding a faint fishy smell that makes people uneasy and fearful. Mu Ning couldn't help sniffing. This smell is very familiar and reassuring.

Mu Ning calmly led Luhua and Hongyun into the arena. A tall opponent wearing half-body metal armor and holding a double-edged ax walked out of the cage passage opposite. Judging by the arrogant expression, it should be a player.

The player on the opposite side was obviously surprised by the three figures here, but the player without attendants has rich attributes, stronger combat power, and is obviously extremely confident. He laughed and put the ax on his shoulders and made a collision posture, roaring like a rhinoceros Come at full speed.

Mu Ning made a posture of drawing a bow with his cane horizontally. The warrior player on the opposite side hadn't rushed through the midfield when suddenly a white light arrow was hit in the face and flew backwards and fell into the dust. Before he could yell angrily As he got up, a red magma ball had fallen beside him, and it exploded after more than two seconds, knocking the leg injury of the player who had just got up before he had time to avoid it, and fell to the ground.

After the second light arrow hit the head again, Luhua also arrived. She swung her big sword and slashed at the screaming player, almost smashing the player into the ground. If it wasn't for his metal armor If the defense is good enough, that sword is enough to send him back to the birth point.

However, the high-blooded fighter was at the end of his strength, and the two critical attacks on the head had almost made him give up the thought of resisting. He was beaten all over the ground by Luhua, and disappeared in a short time.

"It's okay, but it's a bit slow." Mu Ning was quite satisfied with his first PK. The attack power of Luhua and Hongyun was enough to cause effective damage. The only flaw was that the total HP was too low just like himself. Once beaten, he would almost be instantly killed, so Mu Ning just asked the two attendants to hide behind in the subsequent battle, and left everything to himself.

"I'm sorry." Luhua lowered his head, he felt that he was very useless, as a servant, when it came time to fight to the death, he had to hide behind his master to watch the excitement, so he couldn't make a move.

"Don't say I'm sorry," Mu Ning patted him on the shoulder: "You can protect me better when you are strong enough. It's not worth dying now."

After being teleported back to the lounge, Mu Ning received a log prompt: "Continue to queue for the Life and Death Arena, or quit and wait for tomorrow to continue participating?"

Pudding Cat and Liu Zhe were not there, so Mu Ning didn't hesitate: "Continue."

It took less than half a minute to line up for the second time. After entering the stage, Mu Ning took three steps outside and stood still, holding his red and yellow slender staff and raised it high. Two seconds later, a white arrow of light roared out. The archer with the long-legged spider on the opposite side had just run into the combat distance and was about to shoot with a bow when he was suddenly pierced by a milky white light arrow, and then flew out backwards.Next to it, the fist-sized buff spider that was running away also disappeared instantly along with its owner.

Spike!

The archer with attendants invested a lot of attributes in charm, and was known for his agility and attack power. His own physique and magic resistance couldn't withstand a critical attack from Mu Ning's Holy Light Arrow, and he was sent back to his hometown directly.

The third, fourth, and fifth rounds... In each round, Mu Ning stood outside the maximum range and shot magic at the enemy. As long as the opponent entered the range, he would definitely not be able to dodge the light arrow nailed to the face!

Warriors, knights, and professions with high magic defense are more difficult to match. Most of them need four or five arrows to completely defeat them. The old lady often comes over and throws a molten fire ball to assist the output.And agility professions, especially those with pets and servants, were originally the nemesis of healing professions, but Mu Ning especially likes to fight opponents with servants and pets, because the opponent's low spirit and physical fitness mean thin skin, crunchy, Often one or two arrows can be sent directly back to the hometown.

In Mu Ning's eyes, those agile players who "walk like the wind" are as slow as a tortoise and a snail, not much different from a fixed target wooden man.

The sixth game, the seventh game... the tenth game.

With just one move of Holy Light Arrow, Mu Ning threw it out in a different way and killed the opponent players and NPCs crying bitterly. They were nailed back to Novice Village without even a chance to resist.

Mu Ning came to feel a little bit, and he was just starting to get excited, but the limit of ten life-and-death arenas per day was over, and the log asked him whether to receive rewards immediately or accumulatively.

In the arena of life and death, there are only rewards for surviving. Once you die, all unclaimed rewards will be cleared.

Immediately claiming the reward can take away what should be obtained on the day, usually a piece of white quality equipment, and if the reward is accumulated, the reward will become richer and faster.

Many things can only be obtained by accumulating rewards. For example, various general skill books in the Arena of Life and Death need to accumulate 50 consecutive victories before they can be exchanged for one, while white-quality pets need 70 consecutive victories, and white-quality humanoid servants need 100 consecutive victories. It takes [-] consecutive victories to redeem the "Victor Sculpture", and there is only one per year!

It is not much different from Mu Ning's expectation. Liu Zhe and Pudding Cat's ten-game winning streak is almost not difficult. They have learned a lot from Mu Ning, and they are equipped with luxurious equipment and luxury top jewelry at this stage. , the attribute points are bursting, winning is a matter of course.

Compared with Liu Zhelai, Pudding Cat has a stronger sense of combat, and ordinary physical opponents can't beat her at all. Her attack power is compensated by jewelry, and her violence is in a mess.

At this stage, mages are too unfamiliar with spellcasting, and when they encounter a pudding cat carrying a shield and rushing directly into their arms for five consecutive times, they will almost cry and be blinded.

When they left the waiting hall, the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked registrar saw the three of them come out safely, with a look of surprise on their faces, and reluctantly said: "You... Come on, good job, and win glory for Qunshu Town."

The pudding cat sneered and said nothing, Mu Ning raised the corner of his mouth and faced the registrar: "Shall we take care of your Qunshu town bird business?"

The registrar immediately looked embarrassed, and only dared to curse after Mu Ning and the others walked away.

The wilderness of Qunshu Town was in chaos. The players that had been agreed upon at the beginning had already started to gather. A large number of players formed small groups. One group would meet another group, making trouble like a peasant uprising.

In the morning you went to occupy the monster point, at noon I reserved the field to fight the BOSS, and at night he went to block the mine to prevent players from entering...

The faults of those online games in the past are all starting to show up, those who sell equipment for real money, those who clamor for dungeons, those who make gold studios, those who claim to be professional players who want to create legends, those who cheat money and sex with flattering words... you After singing, I will appear on the stage, and the whole game seems to have become restless and smoky overnight.

"Is there a mistake! You're only level five and you're coaxing students to book the game?" Liu Zhe was speechless as he looked at the players blocking the mines outside the town and not allowing others to enter.

"I'm sorry, the Qunshu Town mine is reserved by our Ergouzi union, and you have to pay two silver coins to get in!" A few players wearing white quality equipment straightened their waists and were extremely arrogant.

Seeing that Mu Ning didn't respond, the swordsman next to him cursed: "If you want to go in, pay the money, if you don't go in, don't hang around here, good dogs don't block the way!" These players have tasted the sweetness of occupying the mine, and have raised some Bandits.

In his previous life, Mu Ning had never experienced this period. He never thought that the "Pioneer Seniors" in his impression of high quality and self-cultivation would have such a dark history of shameful PLAY.

"Interesting," Mu Ning smiled: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also sung in the snail shell."

"Daddy, let's go?" Pudding cat was carrying a shield with a chivalrous urge.

"It's not 'we', it's 'you'."

Mu Ning took Liu Zhe, who was eager to try, and pushed him over: "You two play forward, and I, a baby daddy, will squat down and breastfeed you."

"Oh, yes." Only then did Liu Zhe realize that his Ning Ning was his dad, and he always subconsciously treated Ning Ning as a powerful mage with high output.

Pudding Cat just said casually, she never expected that the nanny would actually nod his head, and asked her and the big bad wolf to fight against eight of them.

I didn't expect my dad's temper to be quite violent.

She didn't know that the daddy didn't have fun in the death match, and came out to find trouble for PK.

"Once the fight starts, all the targets you see will be chopped without a second thought. Players are given priority, followed by wild monsters. Don't worry about your own health. I'll heal them, understand?" Mu Ning leaned over and whispered to Pudding Cat and Liu Zhe bad move.

Liu Zhe was so excited that he rubbed his hands, and pretended to evade: "It's not good for all players to be hacked, isn't it?" There was no sincerity at all.

"Anyway, PK in the game is not against the law." Mu Ning smiled honestly.

It was actually against the law, but he forgives the players for not knowing the law, and he doesn't know where to file a complaint if he is killed.

Besides, occupying mines is also illegal in theory, and they are 'doing justice for the sky'.

"Then I'll... go?" Pudding Cat gave him a questioning look.

"Let's go." Mu Ning nodded, and the old lady pointed at the Pudding Cat's long sword with the orb in her hand, and the captain's sword immediately sparked.

The seven or eight honorary members of the Ergouzi Guild were watching these five fierce men dressed in magical costumes gathered together and chattering. They probably planned to pay the money. Five people were worth ten silver coins, which made a lot of money.

Who knew that the tall and beautiful female warrior turned around and didn't give everyone money. Instead, she raised her shield and charged wildly, waving a long sword with flashing arcs, and with one sword, the nun who was complaining to the people next to her that the gatekeeper was too boring The girl was hacked and flew out. The low-level nun is famous for her super high magic defense and disabled physical defense. She gave the pudding cat a sword and fell down and spit out dozens of taels of blood.

"What kind of grudge do I have with you!" The nun climbed up holding the Dharma book and questioned hysterically, but was interrupted by a two-stage collision with the pudding cat, and was thrown out again by the shield like a kite with a broken string, and hit heavily on the rock outside the mine. On the wall, the players of the Ergouzi Guild were all trembling with fright.

Emma, ​​look at this shield hit, the girl flies like a butterfly.

The nun got up tremblingly and grabbed the Dharma book to read the prayer, and found that the people in her guild were still watching stupidly, forcibly interrupted the prayer and cursed: "You bastards, why are you still standing there, my sister will be punished soon!" Killed!"

Not only the pudding cat, but even Mu Ning was greatly surprised. The nun was able to get up after being attacked by the pudding cat three times. Her physique was already frighteningly strong.

The nun's prayer is to continue to recover blood, and the effect is outstanding in the low-level stage, but she didn't have time to say the prayer in the end.

The pudding cat’s charged heavy blow would spit out half a liter of blood even if it was a warrior player. Weapons began to flock.

Under the double crush of absolute equipment and attributes, Liu Zhe stabbed straight into the crowd like a sharp knife, and every gouge and dragon kick could make a player turn out screaming.

The pudding cat wields a long sword that emits light and cooperates with Liu Zhe to chop melons and chop vegetables, and overwhelms a few overbearing players who were arrogant and blunt just now, only to find that his dad has not been healed at all. The move was fatal, and several players who had heard the sound from the mine were crucified and mutilated. The old lady and the two suppressed the people in the mine so much that they didn't even dare to show their heads.

The Ergouzi Guild occupied a good mine, and attracted five fierce gods without recruiting anyone.

"It's not cool." Mu Ning was very irritable.

"Hit it in?" Liu Zhe had just felt it.

Mu Ning thought for a while before shaking his head: "Don't fight, get out before they react!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the old lady who was throwing the molten fireball turned around and ran away with Mu Ning and Luhua without saying a word.

"We just ran away with our tails between our legs?" Liu Zhe felt unwilling, he only defeated two of them, and the feeling of fighting with players was completely different from fighting with monsters.

"Aren't you running with your tail between your legs?" Mu Ning took Liu Zhe and the royal tank and ran all the way back to the town without feeling ashamed. Watching Liu Zhe and Pudding Cat fight with tens of hundreds of people is like sending them to death. He has no interest in dying and suffering.

"But these players are really boring. Why do they have to block such a big mine?" Liu Zhe trotted very depressed.

Recently, Liu Zhe dislikes the style of assassins more and more. He doesn't like to act sneakily, and thinks it's wretched. He also doesn't like the leather armor and small cloaks of assassins.

But there is no way, if an assassin rushes into the crowd openly and punches and kicks, it is not an assassin, it is a monk.

Liu Zhe was also thinking hard, he really didn't look like an assassin, and recently he was rushing to fight monsters with Pudding Cat, which didn't feel bad.

Do you want to fight with pudding cats for the position of the team tank?this is a problem.

In the town, Mu Ning asked Luhua to do the task to upgrade the intermediate mining technique. The assessment was easy and free for Luhua, because the assessment required digging out a flawless gem, and Luhua had already dug it out. Ambition Great Gyre swears 'this is what I dug' and delivers in an instant.

15 silver coins gave Luhua a white-quality fine steel pickaxe, and then Mu Ning let Luhua learn how to be a junior blacksmith, and [-] silver coins bought a fine steel hammer and an ordinary hammer. Graphite strips of silver coins stuffed the package to the brim.

Looking at Liu Zhe's terrified eyes, Mu Ning said with a smile, "That's right, the weapons and defenses of you and Pudding Cat will be in place in the future."

Liu Zhe also learned blacksmithing, but he abandoned the blacksmith after he concentrated on tailoring. Mu Ning felt that Liu Zhe was not suitable for such boring and tedious work, so it was easier and more convenient to hand it over to Luhua.

It won't be difficult for Luhua to learn to forge. The materials are sufficient. It doesn't matter if it is fifty sets or one set. There are as many ore ingots as you need now.

After the victory, the three warriors happily ran back to Xinshou Village with their tails between their tails. Pudding Cat cheerfully went to decorate his nest, while Mu Ning and Liu Zhe ran to the wild mine in Rongshu Village at full speed.

After the number of players doing tasks in the wild mines has decreased, there have been more goblin monsters. It is estimated that there are not many players mining in them.

The four trotted towards the depths of the mine like chopping melons and vegetables, but they didn't even see half of the players. They didn't hear the sound of iron picks clinking against the rock wall until they approached the hall.

I ran into the hall and saw that the gemstone veins on the wall had been chiseled out. Scattered level [-] players and a few level [-] and [-] players were slowly digging for metal mines.

"Clear the field?" Liu Zhe rubbed his hands to be a villain, but he hadn't beaten enough.

"No, the attacks of the third and fourth levels are invalid, and there is no way to clear them." Besides, Qing can't clear the novices in his own village.

Anyway, there are no gem veins inside, which is not much different from the outside, and it is the same to find a side road outside.

As soon as they said it, a few people stood out again. Liu Zhe took the lead and beat the goblin soldiers to their knees, and soon found a side road with dense and hidden mine veins.

Assassins always like to be the first to fight at the forefront... It seems that Mu Ning really has to consider helping Liu Zhe change his career.

Luhua took out the fine steel mine pickaxe, Hongyun raised his hand and pointed to bless the flame element, and thumped the red mine pickaxe on the rock wall, knocking out a large swath of smudged flames jumping on the rock wall, and the gravel began to scatter.

I have to say that the white-quality mine pick and Luhua's full set of power-boosting jewelry greatly improve the efficiency, and the flame and frost make Luhua even more powerful. Large pieces of ore peel off, and Luhua doesn't pick them up at all. There are Mu Ning and Liu Zhe do it for you.

There are still a lot of flawless gems and flawed gems in the old lady's bag, so there is no need to rush to sift through them for now.

It's a pity that the portable furnace can smelt ore on the spot but can't be used for forging, otherwise the steps of on-site forging and transporting ore will be saved.

Luhua, whose speed has been greatly improved, collected at least 400 yuan of copper ore in less than an hour. After smelting, Luhua obtained more than 170 copper ingots, plus the tin ore ingots smelted later, and fused them into a full 250 bronze ingots at one time.

The old lady started making jewelry in large quantities again.

"Don't rush, do it slowly, and try to increase the flash rate as much as possible." Mu Ning said.

A large amount of iron ore was melted into iron ingots by Luhua, and then all the iron ingots were forged into steel ingots with graphite bars. The 200 yuan steel ingot was placed on the ground. Taking out the soul crystal research he had collected, he was still thinking about whether he should learn soul engineering by himself.

Liu Zhe watched the news by linking to the forum in Mu Ninghuai.

"These days are so nourishing." Liu Zhemei smacked her lips and kissed Ningning just now.

"Have you touched enough?" Take a good look at your forum!

"No." Hehe, it's so nice to be in a mine with black lights.

Now Mu Ning can't pass the basic attribute point bonus provided by the skill book in a short period of time, so he is considering going back to his old business and picking up the skills of his previous life.

The reason why Mu Ning, who was a thunder magician in his previous life, became famous among the second-rate masters and saved a lot of property was not because of the high commission he was hired, but because of his sideline "rune making", "magic magician" and so on. Pattern and seal cutting" and "soul engineering".

These three majors Mu Ning only understand one-sidedly. For example, soul engineering involves two aspects of soul collection and soul construction. Mu Ning only practices soul collection blindly. After collecting soul crystals and selling them to other soul engineers, it is a considerable income.

A rune craftsman needs to be able to make, carve and activate runes. Mu Ning is an excellent rune 'craftsman', but he is almost blank in terms of activating runes. The reason is the same as soul crystallization. In order to make money, If the rune is not activated, it will be sold.

Mu Ning's only thing that is quite comprehensive is the magic pattern seal cutting. The difference between the magic pattern seal cutting and the "magic pattern attachment" (referred to as enchantment) is that the enchantment can be canceled and replaced, while the magic pattern seal cutting is more difficult and complicated, and cannot be canceled or replaced. .

The production of magic scrolls belongs to enchanting, while the construction of magic circles belongs to magic seal cutting.

In his previous life, due to his limited attention, Mu Ning could only barely master magic pattern and seal carving to an advanced level. He usually worked as a summoner for summoning formations to catch alien creatures to sign contracts, or carved water-drawing formations for other people's fountains and other small jobs to earn money. Ordering pocket money, the work is cumbersome but the quantity is large, and it is also very powerful to gather sand into a tower.

The old lady who was making jewelry with full firepower piled up more than 50 pieces of white quality bronze jewelry made of glitter on the left side, and more than 40 pieces of white quality steel jewelry on the right side, with countless gray failed products behind.

All the flawless gemstones were smashed in at once, green lights flashed one after another, and 42 pieces of green-quality gem-bronze jewelry and 31 pieces of green-quality gem-steel jewelry piled up in a small pile in front of Mu Ning.

This is a frightening wealth of terror.

"It's just a matter of going to the river bank to take you out of the rain flower stone, and your basic jewelry making skills will be fine." Mu Ning said.

The old lady still doesn't do enough, she can make jewelry with her eyes closed anytime, that's the real master.

As usual, I packed green and white high-quality jewelry in cloth bags, and buried the gray ones in a small pit on the spot. Liu Zhe said that you are a waste of things, and mosquito legs are also meat!

Mu Ning smiled, how much money is enough?

How much is not enough.
