There are actually random rewards?

The unexpected discovery of the dungeon settlement slightly diluted the trance lingering in Yi Yan's heart. Then he saw a carousel appear in front of him, with labels such as equipment, skills, coupons, props, sundries, etc. Needless to say, The higher the value, the smaller the area, and the debris area directly accounts for half of it. And when Ember unexpectedly randomly went to the trash area and was about to complain about how stingy the game was as always, he discovered that the trash area wasn't all garbage either.

"Holy crap, you can actually get a vehicle?"

Ember's eyes lit up. Although the width of the vehicle area was not even as wide as the noodles he had eaten in the morning, it was enough to pique his interest. Besides the vehicle, Ember also saw a mysterious reward that was even "narrower" than the vehicle. He couldn't help but be curious, no matter how mysterious a "miscellaneous thing" is, how mysterious can it be? As for the other options, they are all daily necessities or decorative items for homes and shops. There are not many things that really make Ember look down on them.

"My demands are not too high, just don't give me rubbish!"

With expectations, Yan Yan confirmed that randomization had started, and he finally got a piece of garbage. To be precise, it was something related to garbage-[Smart Recycling Trash Can]. By throwing certain items with recycling value into it, you could Produce a small amount of credits or related materials.

"Tsk, it seems okay. It's better than curtains, and it's still pink."

Yi Yan decisively confirmed that the delivery location was his own store, then completed the settlement process and appeared in the ruins of the school again.

Looking at the collapsed building, the feeling of loss came to mind again. If possible, he would like to verify whether his guess was correct. Unfortunately, the snow school copy is being cooled down. If you want to enter, you have to wait until tomorrow, and you must obtain access props, otherwise There is a high probability of dying from space strangulation.

"If you have a chance, come and see it again."

Shaking his head and sighing, he always felt that the perfect evaluation he had received was not so perfect, and Nina's behavior was not like an ordinary wraith. Not only was she clearly aware of the changes in the outside world, she was also frighteningly intelligent, unlike anyone he had ever seen. Those important existences are no less generous, making it hard to believe that this is just an ordinary dungeon BOSS.

"Hey! He moves very fast, almost better than those professional investigators! Get in the car quickly, don't stand still."

It only took about ten minutes to clear the snow school dungeon. The driver had just started to feel sleepy when he noticed that Ember had returned. He could only stretch his legs and ask Ember to get in the car.

"How's it going? How's the harvest? I heard those investigators talk about it in the chat. It's not simple in the snow school. The three major organizations have sent several people in! You look weird. I think you did somersaults... This is also It's inevitable. After all, it's your first mission and you've encountered such a difficult target. It's good to come back alive. Oh, I almost forgot. You Fire Seeds have the ability to resurrect. It's hard to die even if you want. It's really enviable. I can’t even envy you!”

The driver's eyes looked a little hollow at the ember, and he subconsciously thought that his first experience with the dungeon was not smooth. Recalling that both parties were ordinary people, but he did not have the blessing of the ember, his words couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Did those investigators tell us the details of the snow school?" Yu Jin suddenly realized that this driver was a good candidate for enquiry.

"That's not true. They all signed a confidentiality agreement, and even if they chatted, they would avoid me as a driver. However, I have seen the death of investigators a few times by chance!"

Seeing the surprised look from Yan Yan, the driver became a little confused: "Let me tell you quietly, without exception, those people died from headshots. This method of death is very typical. It only occurs when the brain undergoes a strong impact. In this case, Under such circumstances, sanity will not simply return to zero in an instant, but will suddenly break through the minimum limit, and death will be pronounced directly without the need for an immediate death judgment."

The driver's statement made Yi Jin's heart tremble slightly. Looking at the entire game process, there were very few weird links involving determination of will. Even he could withstand the impact on his sanity. There was no reason why those investigators would capsize because of this, so the only possibility was , they saw something that Yan Yan had not seen before, and this thing was probably in the elevator on the first floor. Such a result not only made Yi Yan feel very happy, but also made him more and more curious, what kind of terrifying existence was hidden there?

"It seems that we need to find a way to get another access item. In addition, the core attribute points must also be focused. It stands to reason that as long as the will is high enough, it can resist the damage of the mind. I just don't know how much will is required? At most, I need to try a few more times. Times, I can’t die anyway, I’m a player, who am I afraid of?”

Carrying the brooding Ember, the off-road vehicle drove all the way back to the safe zone. Coincidentally, as soon as he got off the car, he saw Qiu Yinong returning from the wild, but her expression was even more complicated than Ember, which immediately made Ember My mood improved a lot.

"If you have anything unhappy, you might as well tell me to make me happy. Did the mission fail?"

Qiu Yinong glared at Yu Yan angrily: "No, my strength is unparalleled. Even the difficulty of the second-level dungeon can be pushed through. It's just that the random reward at the end is a bit...hard to describe!"

"Miscellaneous items?"

"Um!"

"Then it's the same as me. I emptied a trash can. You can't be worse than me, right?" Seeing that Qiu Yinong was a little unhappy, Yi Yan enlightened her with a funny look on his face.

"It's not worse than you. It should be said that no matter what kind of debris you get, it can't be worse than yours!"

"Huh?" Yi Jin raised his brows, a little surprised, "Do you think you got a mysterious reward? Isn't this a great thing? Why are you looking so sad?"

"If the so-called mysterious reward is just an automatic drink vending machine, you won't think it is a good thing. And if you want to order a drink and have to pay for it yourself, you will be as sad as me..."

"puff!"

"What are you laughing laughing?"

Qiu Yinong took off his cloak, revealing his swollen cheeks, so that Yuan Jin knew that he was in a really bad mood.

But in Ember's view, the parasitic crossbow with its cold light was more convincing.

"I heard that you opened a store and I can give you a vending machine. It's useless for me to hold it."

As he spoke, Qiu Yinong lifted up his cloak to cover his face and stared at the embers, his eyes full of disbelief: "Are you really an artist?"

"If it's fake, it's guaranteed to be replaced!"

"Your appearance has lowered my impression of artists a lot..."

"Um?"

“I’ve always felt that artists are serious people.”

"What do you mean?"

"What about that? I want to get a continuous jumping skill card. I need to bring my own materials. For the sake of the vending machine, can I not charge you?"

"It's okay if you don't charge money. Please explain first what's wrong with me?"

…

Damn it!

Gudonggudonggudong...

belch!

"I didn't expect that the drinks in the vending machine have the most classic pull-tab design!" Yi Yan spent a hundred credits and drank a bottle of unknown red canned drink. It had a sweet strawberry flavor and a long and refreshing aftertaste. Suddenly, he discovered that the game was full of splashes of ink. Finally, I had some drinks and it felt quite relaxing.

Qiu Yinong on the other side was admiring the animation on the card with eyes full of surprise. If she hadn't watched Ember paint with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a beautiful painting could come from his hand. She had always thought that the job that Yu Yan was doing in reality would be the more annoying kind, but after the other party showed off his skills, she suddenly changed her mind. Something suddenly came to her mind, and she couldn't help but ask: "I remember you?" Did you say before that you wanted to give me a portrait?"

"Hiccup... um... burp! This drink has quite a lot of stamina!"

"that……"

“There’s no such shop in that village!”

"You!" Qiu Yinong gritted his silver teeth and glared at the ember fiercely, "Can you stop being so petty?"

"Sorry, I'm a crooked artist."

"..."

Qiu Yinong had no choice but to retreat: "Are you famous in the painting world? How much can a painting sell for?"

"It's not bad! Hiccup... I'm barely famous. I don't know how much I can sell it for. What are you doing? Are you going to buy my soul with money? I'm not afraid to tell you, my soul is very expensive!"

"Tch, no matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than Sister Song Zi's portrait?"

"who?"

"Song Zi, haven't you just met her before? She accepted the endorsement of Singularity Company and played the role of the eldest daughter of the sun. Of course, the current Queen of Shadows is also the one who occasionally participates in games and interacts with players. I just relied on the Sun Executioner's Title, I was summoned by the eldest daughter of the Sun alone, and Sister Song Zi personally issued a special mission to me! I told you not to choose the Guardian Knight, hehe, are you envious?"

"Well..." After a deep groan, Yi Jin shook his head seriously, "Actually, if you knew why I chose to become a Dark Veil Messenger, you would understand whether I am envious or not."

"Why?" Qiu Yinong became a curious baby.

"I won't tell you!" Yan Yan casually threw the finished can into the smart recycling bin. "After wasting so much time, it's time to deliver the task. By the way, I want to tell you something about this automatic beverage vending machine. For every can of drink sold, you can get ten points of profit. Although you may not be able to sell much, I won't take advantage of you. I'll split it 50-50 and make one transaction per thousand in total. Do you think it's okay?"

"You have some conscience."

Qiu Yinong rolled his eyes at Yi Yan and walked out of the store first. Yi Jin thought about it for a while, but still had no intention of telling her that if the can was thrown into the trash can, she could get an extra five credits.

"As a man, you should always save some money for your own money." Yu Jin thought, "I will give her that portrait someday."

There were store protection regulations, so he simply didn't close the store. He casually left sixteen big characters on the store noticeboard: "There are drinks inside, delicious and cheap. After drinking, throw away the bucket and protect the environment." and sat down. Get on the sightseeing bus stopped by Qiu Yinong and head to the Hilly White Pagoda together.

…

The expected obstruction did not appear. Under the leadership of the dark servant, Ember met the Shadow Queen at the bottom of the White Tower without any hindrance.

Clang, clang, clang!

Clang, clang, clang!

The Queen of Shadows was still playing the piano, and the tune was still the Symphony of Destiny. Apart from anything else, at least the first few strokes sounded decent. Seeing the embers returning quickly, she immediately stood up and asked anxiously: "Did you get the snow umbrella?"

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Ember took out the snow umbrella, and the Shadow Queen instantly beamed with joy. She raised her hand to take out the snow umbrella, announcing that Ember had completed the first task issued by the Shadow Queen.

[Tip: You have completed the special mission "The Beginning of Trust" and gained the favor of the "Queen of Shadows". The mission reward is to upgrade the "Eye of Exploration" to the "Eye of Darkness". 】

It not only contains the information database from the Foundation, but also includes the Shadow Queen's unique knowledge, and can Makes it easier for you to break through sensory suppression.

…

"The extra two points of perception bonus are good. It may save attributes at critical moments. It's quite a practical effect."

Ember also noticed that the Eye of Dark Veil incorporates the unique knowledge of the Queen of Shadows, which means that certain information that cannot be seen by the Exploring Eye may be recognized by the Eye of Dark Veil, and this information can be known without thinking, and should be consistent with Being related to the Mapleblood family would undoubtedly bring many hidden advantages to Ember.

Don't forget, the island's predecessor was the headquarters of the Mapleblood family, and you might encounter related entities in any dungeon.

"I was pleasantly surprised by your performance. Before Grandma Fengqin got suspicious, you brought this snow umbrella to the bottom of the tower." The Shadow Queen felt much more relaxed, making Yi Yan realize that the value of that snow umbrella was probably more valuable than his. Imagination is even more important.

Just when Yi Jin wanted to ask about the secrets of the Snow School, the grandmother Fengqin mentioned by the Shadow Queen turned out to be Cao Cao.

"Continuously apostate defender of the sun, why are you so diligent in meeting the Queen of Shadows?" Fengqin is a middle-aged woman dressed elegantly. Although she is called a grandmother by the Queen of Shadows, in Ember's opinion she is at most forty. In perfect condition, with a calm demeanor, and exuding an intellectual temperament that has read poetry and books, Ember could not believe that this person would come from the Mapleblood family, which he regarded as a villain, and was probably the true leader of the Mapleblood family.

"Grandma, he is just here to hand over the task. Although I don't like his behavior, his ability is passable."

The Queen of Shadows immediately calmed down and deliberately said to Ember with a straight face: "You can leave now. The tasks in the professional area are enough for you to do for a long time. Don't always think about getting benefits from me. If necessary, I will I will summon you, so get out!"

"yes!"

Yan Yan, who was good at observing words and emotions, knew that this was the Queen of Shadows creating an escape route for him, so he left directly and left the bottom of the tower without looking back. Ms. Fengqin had no doubts at all, she just glanced at his back coldly and spoke seriously. He warned the Shadow Queen: "This person's identity is suspicious, so you must not trust him. The three major organizations are not easy to deal with. If you make one wrong move, the entire family will be in ruins."

"I know, Grandma."

The Queen of Shadows lowered her eyebrows and her attitude won Fengqin's approval: "You can continue practicing, I won't interrupt you."

"Grandma, walk slowly."

"Come Ember!"

When the Queen of Shadows bid farewell to Fengqin, Ember received a message from someone other than the Sword Fairy: "Your store exploded!"

"ah?"

Ember couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Doesn't the store protection regulations protect players' property? Why did it explode in the blink of an eye?

"Who did it? Jiu Gua? Are they too crazy?"

"It wasn't your store that was bombed, it was your store that bombed people!"

"What?" Yi Yan was dumbfounded, thinking that this rhythm was not quite right...

"Come on, I can't tell you the specific situation. I just received the news and am on my way to where I am! Good guy, I heard that many people have surrounded your store!"
