Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 198 Meteor Staff

After selecting the people, Malu returned to the weapons and equipment department on the 11th floor with Ouroboros and asked Xi Xi to evaluate the wand in the latter's hand.

Xixi immediately became wary when she saw that it was an old model from decades ago. However, the bug-like leak detection from before was obviously not easy to copy. .

 This time Xixi only gave a purchase price of 95 redemption points after checking the historical prices.

 The price was not high, but Malu sold it anyway, mainly to raise money to buy the staff he had taken a fancy to.

 【Meteor Staff】(blue)

 Attack +8

 Attack attribute: Water

 Attack speed: slow

Additional effects: Spell chanting time is shortened by 10%, and spell power is enhanced by 20%.

The basic panel of this staff is very clean. All attributes are focused on attack. At the same time, the two additional effects it comes with are also obvious bonuses for legal professions.

However, this power enhancement effect is a bit wasteful when used for treatment, and is more suitable for mages with output positioning.

Ma Lu handed the Meteor Staff to Ouroboros, who was a little flattered.

 “Is there a gift for me when I just joined the team?”

“Well, because the next task still requires your help.” Ma Lu said.

 “I will definitely perform well.”

Ouroboros showed her signature sweet smile again.

Just with this energetic smile, even if she performs poorly later, most people will not have the heart to criticize her.

However, Malu is not an ordinary person. He can see the attributes and skills of Ouroboros. Especially after Ouroboros joins the team, her panel information no longer has any secrets for Malu.

 At the same time, being restrained by the Ring of Order, Malu will ensure that she goes all out in the next battle.

 …

 The early upgrades and preparations were almost completed here. Malu left the tower and found a store on the roadside to purchase some climbing and picnic supplies and stuffed them into his travel bag.

Although Ouroboros was a little curious, it didn't talk too much.

 After that, Malu went to the Witch's House to pick up the three Cerberus dogs and prepared to go out to perform the mission.

Skylark was the first to welcome the new team members, and Bird of Paradise later nodded slightly to Ouroboros. Her personality is relatively quiet, and she looks lukewarm to everyone.

When it was Cerberus's turn, she lay directly on Ouroboros, sniffed at her, then frowned and looked at Millipede.

 “I don’t like the smell of her.”

"It doesn't matter, we're just colleagues. We don't have to have a good relationship, just get along like ordinary teammates."

“Tch.” The purple-haired girl curled her lips, but for the sake of the enhancement, she did not refute.

 The five of them got on their horses, and Ma Lu set the destination.

This week, the Paladins gave him four tasks in one go, including two collection tasks, a cleaning task, and an exploration task.

 Ma Lu once again chose the cleanup task.

 Because this thing does not require much thinking, it focuses on getting as much as you do, and there are not so many unexpected factors. It is very suitable for quickly increasing experience and accumulating strength in the early stage.

However, the reward for the last exploration mission was as high as 200,000 holy silver coins and 3,000 atonement points, which slightly attracted Malu's attention.

 But seeing that the place was quite far away, requiring at least 5 hours of flight, Malu lost interest. He now has a total of 14 hours of action time. It has already taken him nearly two hours to hire people to buy equipment, and the return time is also included. This means that he has less than 2 hours to actually carry out the mission. For an hour, I was so nervous.

 Furthermore, Malu had his own arrangements for his visit this time. He planned to cultivate more mushrooms, especially those from Gao Xing.

Although there are still three days before the official entry time set by Malu and the Valkina people, those hard-working little people have already started to get busy in advance and really helped Malu get customers.

—There is an alien visitor who does not want to be named and is willing to spend 500 star coins to have a meal at the Infinite Canteen in the Universe. He requires a mushroom-themed meal and at least two dishes.

This is the first alien visitor that the Universe Infinite Canteen has received since its opening. In addition, he can earn star coins, so Ma Lu is still very interested.

Has made up her mind to capture a high-star mushroom this time.

On the road, everyone was bored and chatting, and as they talked, they talked about the witch who was burned to death before.

Malu noticed that when he mentioned what he saw in the square that day, Cerberus's face suddenly darkened. Skylark also looked a little sad. Although the expression on Paradise Bird's face did not change much, the knuckles holding the book were still there. Slightly whitish.

As for Ouroboros, as a newcomer to the team, she had been publicly disliked by the "old man" Cerberus in the small group before. She behaved very well now, listening more and talking less along the way.

Ma Lu didn't name her, so she didn't speak. Now when she heard Ma Lu mentioning the witch who was burned last week, her eyes revealed a hint of just the right amount of sympathy and regret.

 “Do you know her?” Malu asked Ouroboros.

 The latter nodded, then shook his head.

“She is a senior who is one year older than us. I have heard of her name, but I am not familiar with her. I only know that she was once a very good witch.

"The knight who has saved her several times can complete the mission no matter how dangerous it is. As an outstanding graduate, she often returned to school to give us speeches."

 “Well, then why did the church burn her to death?”

 “Because she has fallen.” Bird of Paradise closed the book.

 “Fall?”

 “The Church says she has thrown herself into the arms of her enemies,” said Ouroboros.

 “Those activated plants?” Malu raised his eyebrows.

“No, besides the living plants, the church has other enemies, enemies outside the city.”

"Humanity?"

“To be more precise, it’s an out-of-control witch.” Ouroboros was a little surprised. “You are a knight. Didn’t the Holy Knights warn you to be careful of witches of unknown origin in the wild?”

Malu had already prepared a speech on this point. Hearing this, his face did not change and he said, "I was injured in a previous mission, here."

  He pointed to his head, "So there are a lot of things I don't remember."

 “That’s it.” Ouroboros suddenly realized.

Ma Lu continued, "So there are still witches in this world who are not controlled by the church, but didn't you say before that no one can survive in the wild, and how can they solve the problem of being lost without holy water?"

"I don't know about that." Ouroboros shook his head and thought for a while before adding, "There are rumors that...the witches who have lost control have also formed a small settlement. Maybe this is why they can survive in the wild. The reason.”

Malu touched his chin, "A settlement built entirely by witches, without slavery and oppression, must be quite lethal to the witches in the city. No wonder the church is so cruel and ruthless to these degenerates, and does not hesitate to use this cruelty means to intimidate others.”
