Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 82 Appointment at Ash Volcano

Obviously, Jiang Ke's invitation caused considerable trouble to Cui Jue.

The latter frowned, with a rather embarrassed look on his face, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

Jiang Ke didn't rush her, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Cui Jue looked at Jiang Ke with obvious apology in his tone.

"Sorry, that's not possible right now."

"Why?"

"..."

It was obvious that Cui Jue had gone through quite an obvious psychological struggle before she approached Jiang Ke and whispered in Jiang Ke's ear:

"When the ash volcano is bulldozed, I will work with you honestly."

Jiang Ke's pupils shrank and he looked at her with shock.

"you……"

Cui Jue raised a finger, put it in front of his lips, and said:

"Sorry, this is prohibited."

Jiang Ke's mood at this time is indeed chaotic. The Ash Volcano is the "final BOSS" in the later version of this version. Just like the Silent Night Castle that will appear in the next version, it is a gathering place full of intelligent monsters.

But... she remembered that it was not until the later version of the version that the sudden appearance of a large number of fire demons, firebirds and other monsters attracted the players' attention.

The land of flames covered in flames is filled with monsters made of all kinds of flames. Their levels are not low, and they also have special entries such as "Forged in Flames". Their combat effectiveness is very high, but the rewards they drop are also very high.

rich.

Not only are there piles of various rare materials, but equipment with various rare affixes can also be found everywhere, and there are even [Fire Essence] and [Fire Essence] that can directly improve the level and attributes.

But this is only the outer area of ​​the Ash Volcano, there are more advanced monsters in the inner ring area.

But, Jiang Ke remembers it very clearly. Even though I don’t know how many players invaded the land of flames, they were not able to conquer the inner ring area.

Then one day, the ash volcano mysteriously disappeared, and what followed was an update announcement for the third version.

However, that is all in the future, so how does Cui Jue know?

Cui Jue met Jiang Ke's suspicious gaze and took a small ball of light from the angel's hand.

"Here, look at this thing."

She placed the ball of light on the small table in front of Jiang Ke. The spherical halo that looked like wings closing dissipated, and the objects in the ball of light also appeared in front of Jiang Ke.

This is a small firebird, about the size of a quail, with a faint golden flame burning on its fine downs. Although it is still small, it already has a sense of magnificence and nobility that cannot be concealed.

【Source Fire Fire Bird】

[Elemental Creature·Forged by Flame·Blessed by Source Fire]

[Explanation: A strange life born from the ash volcano, it possesses extremely high wisdom. Although it is only a juvenile, it has the blessing of the original fire in its body, and its future achievements are immeasurable]

[Additional information for Zhenzhi·Landlord Edition: It should not have appeared here. The door has not been opened yet, but it was stolen out in some way. Please note that its mother is very angry! 】

[Note: Its mind is affected by some kind of divine power, and it will forget its past]

Jiang Ke was about to say something, but something suddenly caught his eye and he fell silent for a moment.

"What a beautiful bird."

Liu Yue's red eyes were shining as she stared at the little bird, even becoming cautious.

"It's like a little chicken. Why do you like chickens and birds like this?"

Aunt Lin was helpless.

"If it looks good, I'll give it to you to raise, Sister Liu."

Cui Jue said with a smile, and by the way, he took Jiang Ke's hand and squeezed it.

Jiang Ke swallowed the words on his lips.

"Is it really okay? Then I'll give you money..." Liu Yuehong was talking, then she covered her forehead and said helplessly: "I forgot that you are not short of money."

"It doesn't cost anything, it's just a random catch. After all, we will be roommates from now on, it's just a pet."

Cui Jue waved his hands very boldly, looking very generous and considerate.

Jiang Ke watched Liu Yuehong hugging the bird happily, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Although she didn't know what the difference was between Liu Yuehong's true knowledge and her own, she guessed that she couldn't see the sentence "its mother was very angry".

But it doesn’t matter.

Humans and monsters can never live in harmony.

As for Cui Jue, Jiang Ke also needs to think carefully.

"Okay, I've had enough to eat and drink, and I've given you the food and money. A'ke, can you give me the second batch of goods?"

"How much do you want?"

"I want as much as you can give me, and by the way, I can also help you with the new people under your command."

"Uh." Jiang Ke looked at Li Yi and asked:

"Will you go with her?"

"Yes, Sister Cui, I will follow you from now on!"

Li Yi was quite wise and said immediately.

"Sister, when will you leave, I can pack up my things."

"There's no rush, I'll take the first step, and my men will come to pick you up in two days."

"Ake, please bring me some fruits this time. By the way, can I buy a scroll to return to the city?"

"OK."

Jiang Ke simply agreed one by one, then reached out to open the door and took out a spare bag specially designed to hold grain from the warehouse.

"I'll give you this pocket too. It's convenient for you to use."

Cui Jue was not polite and took it directly. After happily checking the pocket and explaining the contents, he transferred enough money to Jiang Ke.

"Then I'll take my leave first, I still have things to do."

Just like the last time she was in a hurry, this time she also said goodbye and left after picking up the goods.

Jiang Ke stood outside the apartment, watching Xiaoguang flying into the sky with her arms around her waist. There was always a feeling that she was hiding from him...

It's like that awkward situation where you want to see something but don't dare to see it.

But she said she wished she could hold herself to sleep. What was the reason for this?

If the silver-haired boy he saw in that dungeon was the Riddler, then Jiang Ke felt that he was not as good as Cui Jue as the Riddler.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, I'd better worry about this task..."

Jiang Ke sighed and looked at the tasks that appeared on the panel in front of him, feeling very melancholy.

This mission appeared when I saw the firebird, as if it was deliberately arranged——

【Embers of Doom】

[Side mission]

[Explanation: You unexpectedly saw birds from the volcano. You discovered that the ash volcano did not appear suddenly, but had already existed.

The land of ashes is filled with unprovoked destruction and violent creatures. But at the very center of the volcano is the Holy Land of Fire, which is full of life.

It is guarded by a giant firebird king, guarding the treasures left by its owner.

That is a fragment, a fragment of a card.]

[Mission limited time: Ash Volcano appears to Ash Volcano hides]

[Mission requirements: Obtain the fragments and kill the Firebird King]

[Task reward: Facilityization of Ash Volcano]

In fact, when Jiang Ke saw this facility, he had no reason to refuse.

There may not be much possibility of obtaining facilities by drawing cards in the vending machine. It is estimated that in most cases in the future, such tasks will be given.

Not to mention there is a fragment of a card...could it be the "Eternal Paradise"?

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen three colorful cards... So what are the remaining two? Or is there five that I know about, but there are actually more than five?"

Jiang Ke thought carefully while walking towards the apartment.
