Savior Simulator

"But the silver shoes have been taken away by Theodora." Ma Yun couldn't help but interrupt.

"As long as you promise to return the silver shoes to me after the matter is done, I might as well trust you for once." Eastna said lightly.

Ma Yun was able to win the trust of this suspicious little ghost woman and offered to help her fight first and settle the bill later, thanks to the side-by-side fight in the ruins just now.

Xiao Ma hesitated for a moment and tried to bargain.

"If I lose the silver shoes, I will never be able to go home. As for your mother's magic book, I can return it to you."

Ivanora's spell book only records 0~3 ring magic. Ma Yun has learned it and copied it into her own spell book. There is no loss to return it to Eastna.

Eastna hesitated.

At this time, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Ma Yun received a system prompt at the same time, asking one of them to make a DC18 "lobbying" or "deception" test.

If they pass the test successfully, they can convince the ghost woman's daughter to work together to deal with the Western witch.

Choosing "lobbying" means negotiating according to the conditions set by Ma Yun.

Choosing "deception" means pretending to agree to return the spellbook and silver shoes to Esterna, and then breaking the promise after the deal is done.

These two attitudes actually correspond to two plot branches.

No matter which one you choose, the difficulty of the test is the same, which depends entirely on the player's preferences and skill configuration.

"First, rule out 'deception'!" Jiang Feng said in the chat channel, "The little ghost woman is not too bad. She helped us a lot in the Yaling Ruins just now. I can't bear to deceive her!"

"I think so too, but Sister Feng, the Templar you are currently playing happens to have the proficiency of the 'deception' skill, and you don't like to lie. Will you lack a sense of substitution when playing this role?" Ma Yun laughed and teased.

"That's not true!" Jiang Feng answered confidently, "Of course I can lie and act, but these tricks that are not fair and aboveboard will only be used against real bad guys!"

"I see, I am the bad guy." Gao Fei said faintly.

"Ha! You are quite self-aware!"

Jiang Feng rolled her eyes at her boyfriend coquettishly.

"Big bad guy, you and Xiaoyun both have proficiency in the skill of 'lobbying', who of you will persuade Eastna?"

"Let Fei Ge do it, he has higher charm than me, and I messed up once before, I feel that my luck is not good today."

Thinking of the failed test in the alchemy laboratory, Xiao Ma was still frightened.

"Okay, then I'll try."

Gao Fei first slapped himself with "Eagle's Majesty", raising the charm attribute to 26 points, counting +3 proficiency correction, the total skill correction is +11.

Twenty-sided dice, at least 7 points must be rolled, and the "lobbying" test can succeed, with a success rate of about 70%.

In fact, whether or not Eastna joined, Gao Fei and the other three were very confident that they could kill the old witch Theodora, and they had no psychological burden when they were testing.

There seemed to be some kind of rule in the dark. For any test that did not affect the overall situation, the player's luck would usually be better.

Today, Gao Fei had a good luck. He rolled 15 points and successfully persuaded Eastna to join.

After a little consideration, the little witch readily accepted the conditions offered by Ma Yun and got into the cabin.

Ma Yun started the mechanical cornerstone and returned to the original route.

Today's adventure came to an end.

…

The next day was Sunday. Early in the morning, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Ma Yun agreed to go online and continue to attack the eighth chapter of "The Wizard of Oz".

In fact, after logging off yesterday, Xiao Ma was still not satisfied.

Before going to bed at night, she returned to the online alone and sold her property.

She packed up all the gold, silver and jewelry she had obtained in the game in the past six months and sold them to the system store, exchanging a total of 20,000 gold coins.

This money is far from enough to build a sand golem, but it is enough to modify the mechanical cornerstone.

Before leaving the Yaling Ruins yesterday, Xiao Ma went back to the alchemy laboratory to command the flesh golem to do hard labor, dismantle the blower that she had been thinking about, pack it up and move it out, and put it into the locker of the mechanical cornerstone.

Today, when she returned to the game, Xiao Ma couldn't wait to play with the blower.

Gao Fei watched her busy and couldn't help asking: "You came out for an adventure and brought back a blower. Will the old witch Theodora be satisfied?"

"I don't care if she is satisfied or not, anyway, this blower is not for her!" Ma Yun said without looking back.

"How can you report to her if you can't even give her the blower?"

"What report is there? When we go back this time, we can just kill the old witch directly!" Ma Yun said confidently.

"Isn't this idea a bit too radical?" Jiang Feng also raised his concerns, "You know, our opponent is not just Theodora, but also many Tengu and Wolf servants around her, as well as the group of flying monkeys... I'm afraid we can't handle it with the strength of the three of us alone."

"Xiao Yun, don't forget that the enemy is not only outnumbered, but also holds three hostages!" Jiang Feng then proposed a worst-case scenario, "If we openly turn against the old witch, she will use the hostages to force you to surrender, what will you do?"

"Comrade Xiao Jiang has considered it very carefully."

Gao Fei completely agreed with his girlfriend's concerns.

"It's too risky to turn against the old witch directly."

"Why don't you go back to the castle first, hand over part of the spoils you got, say a few compliments to make the old witch happy, and take advantage of her relaxation of her guard against you to kill the old witch unexpectedly and rescue the lion, the scarecrow and the tin man."

"Once the old witch dies, her followers will naturally scatter."

"Brother Fei, the plan you proposed is not bad, but it's too troublesome. I have been patient for too long and don't want to swallow my anger against that ugly old witch anymore!"

Gao Fei saw that Xiao Ma had made up her mind, so he stopped forcing her to accept his idea.

"Richest man, what are you going to do?"

"I have to make some preparations first, and when I'm ready, I'll send a signal to get the little ghost woman Eastna to help me fight."

"Eastna and I will drive the mechanical cornerstone to attack the Jinsha Castle from the main gate and make a big fuss!"

Ma Yun was excited and rubbed his hands.

"Where are you and me?" Jiang Feng asked.

"You two use the 'invisibility spell' to hide first, and when I make a big fuss and attract the old witch and her guards, you and Brother Fei will take the opportunity to sneak into the castle tower and rescue Dimitri who was turned into a hamster by the old witch."

Ma Yun continued:

"After successfully rescuing the hostages, you two will come back to join the battle and assist me and Estena to attack the old witch from both sides!"
