Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster

Naturally, Storyteller would not refuse side quests.

"Of course, what do you need me to help you with?"

The storyteller quickly responded.

After hearing this, the starfish merchant quickly put away his fishing rod, then took out a piece of paper from his clothes and handed it to the storyteller.

[You got: Puzzle note]

【Puzzle note】

[Content: Under the shadow of the sky, in the place of crazy opposition, where the eyes of the weeping person are, the guy with the red scarf is also watching. It is best to wait until dark. 】

[Description: A piece of paper with a puzzle written on it. Maybe you can find something good based on the clues above. 】

Starfish Merchant: "If you can find what I need, then maybe I can sell you something."

oh……

It looks like a treasure hunt mission!

When the storyteller saw this, he immediately understood the type of mission. Unexpectedly, there were some treasure hunting missions hidden in this major update, which was really interesting.

[Accepted the mission: Puzzle Treasure 1]

[Task requirements: Find the items needed by the Starfish Merchant and give them to him to unlock the Starfish Merchant's exchange store. 】

[Task time limit: three days. 】

"Okay, I'll find it."

The storyteller put away the puzzle note.

The starfish merchant nodded: "I will be waiting here for some time to come. I hope you can find the items I need before then."

"rest assured."

The storyteller is full of confidence. He may not be very good at fighting, but when it comes to solving puzzles and so on... why don't you guess why his storyteller videos are watched by so many people?

Therefore, almost the moment he saw this note, the storyteller had already locked on two clues.

The upper level of Zhuxing Island, a coastal town...

"...Travellers, please spend more time on the sea. There are many treasures hidden in the sea."

The starfish merchant mentioned it again at this time, as if he was deliberately revealing some information to the storyteller.

The storyteller also felt thoughtful after hearing the words.

It seems that there are many more puzzle treasure missions like this? In other words, there is more than one starfish merchant?

After thinking for a moment, the storyteller suddenly discovered something else.

That is the starfish merchant in front of me, it seems...

It seems a bit like the starfish tribe mentioned by the exploration team?

hiss……

Thinking of this, the storyteller already had a vague guess in his mind, and he asked directly.

"Um, may I ask, are you a member of the Haixing Clan?"

As the storyteller spoke, he observed the other person's expressions and movements.

But the Starfish Merchant didn't seem surprised by this at all. Instead, he calmly replied to him, as if he had practiced such words many times.

"...If you find the items I need, I can answer some questions for you."

The storyteller shrugged upon hearing this. It seemed that only by completing the puzzle treasure mission could he obtain information about the starfish merchant.

Coincidentally, at this time, Li Miao and Niu Niu also rushed over after receiving the news.

After they glanced at the starfish merchant, they were pulled away by the storyteller before they had time to speak.

As the storyteller led them towards the lower level of Zhuxin Island, he told the two of them what had just happened and showed them the puzzle note.

"Hey." Niu Niu glanced at the storyteller in surprise: "There is really something hidden in this update of Lingzhu, you are such a good storyteller."

The storyteller smiled complacently upon hearing this.

"What is this? What is this?" Li Miao scratched his head, his face wrinkled into a bitter melon: "I hate solving puzzles the most. It's really annoying."

"Yes, the idiot knight is definitely only suitable for playing Tetris."

Before the boat came ashore, the harmful mouth arrived first.

"Tsk, I don't know who can spend a week in the police station crying and asking me for help."

Li Miao looked at him contemptuously when he heard this.

"Fuck." When he heard the words, he immediately became anxious: "Who is crying? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh, then you admit that you asked for help?" Li Miao chuckled.

Others have long been accustomed to the mutual disparity between the two. After all, whether it is a group chat or a team channel, half of the 99+ messages on it are contributed by the two of them.

"Let's look for it on the lower level of Zhuxin Island. If there's something different, let's talk about it first."

The storyteller quickly dispatched a mission, and everyone began to search the lower levels of Candle Star Island.

This took them a lot of time.

However, the storyteller was very experienced, and soon he saw a somewhat dark area on the coast.

The shadows falling on Zhuxin Island are also the heaviest here, and the difference can be seen even in a darker environment.

Everyone quickly came to the sea and went straight into the water to check. It didn't take long to find a clue, a rusty anchor shaped like an arrow.

Although it is not a pick-up item, it clearly points in a direction.

Later, the storyteller relied on his rich experience to find the remaining two clues.

One is the dungeon entrance of the coastal town. There is a strangely twisted stone with obvious directionality.

Then came the eyes of the weeper, coming from a broken statue found on a small island in the distance, looking in a certain direction near Zhuxin Island.

In fact, based on these three clues, the storyteller has identified the exact location and found the treasure.

Because these three clues are directional, you don’t need to find them all, and they are not particularly difficult to guess.

"We found the sunken ship! There's a box on it!"

I was very excited to go ashore, and the frustration of the failed fire service was washed away a lot.

"Alas, these bugs glow." Li Miao picked up some small bugs from the sea where the treasure was located with some curiosity.

"No wonder it is said to be night..." Without a doubt, this is another clue in the puzzle.

Everyone quickly opened the box.

[You opened the puzzle treasure]

[Obtained: Heart-shaped coral block (quest item)]

[Obtained: Wax oil × 50]

[Obtained: Combat skills·Scattering]

[Obtained: Magic·Water Flow Arrow]

[……]

The treasure chest gave some wax oil and skills, as well as a set of light equipment that is biased towards long-range shooters. Although it is very rich, it is obviously not enough for players like Li Miao.

"That's it?" He was a little disappointed when he went ashore.

"This is a treasure on the big map. It is obviously applicable to everyone. It is already very good for other players."

The storyteller rolled his eyes.

To be honest, he was not surprised at all to be given these things.

After all, to put it bluntly, all players can get the things given on the big map, so balance should be considered. It is impossible for the treasure near Zhuxin Island to bury a weapon used by Fenghuo, which would affect the balance too much.

And strictly speaking, this treasure is not bad, but their level and equipment are high, relatively speaking.

"I'm going to hand in the task."

The storyteller sailed away. He didn't have much hope for the transaction with the starfish merchant, but he was still interested in the background story that the starfish merchant might reveal.

"I'll go with you." Li Miao was obviously quite interested and went with the storyteller.

As for the others, after finding this hidden update content, they didn't put more energy into it, and went to do their own things.

"Oh, by the way, what has been updated in the Lingzhu store, have you seen it?" Li Miao asked.

"I have seen it, that is, the permissions have been changed. According to the different grades, the unlocked store content is also different." The storyteller said: "But the biggest change is that the Lingzhu Gift has been launched in the contribution store."

At this point, he touched his chin.

"No wonder the Candle Keeper said before that we should accumulate more contributions. It turns out that he is waiting here..."

"This game is really one link after another, and it is almost the same as the logic of reality."

The storyteller exclaimed.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. New things are sold in the dungeon, called 'Wood Spirit Covenant'." The storyteller looked at Li Miao: "Inject the flames of war, and you can summon the Wood Spirit Merchant, who is the same clan as the Rutan you met before."

"It seems that in the background story or dynamic plot, the Candle Keeper has learned the spell."

As he spoke, he turned to the plot again, thinking of some interesting things, and couldn't help laughing.

"But this merchant doesn't come every time, and if the player doesn't have spiritual materials to buy, he will be scolded, hahaha..."

Li Miao couldn't help laughing.

But after laughing, he couldn't help thinking about something.

Does this count as changing the direction of Candle Firewood Island?

It should count, right?

Unconsciously, Li Miao suddenly had a feeling of pushing the world, which was very wonderful.

"What about the Lingzhu building?" Li Miao asked.

He used the storyteller as a search engine.

"Damn, can't you go and see it yourself? Why are you asking me?"

The storyteller was a little speechless, but still told him.

"The Sin Furnace has been upgraded to the third level. You can brush the reinforcement stones 1 to 6 around the anchored copy of the Sin Furnace. Ordinary weapons can be enhanced to +6, but the drop rate is not high."

After a pause, he continued.

"You have to go and see the Candle Spirit Tree. Now there is a function called [Enhancement Skills], which can enhance combat techniques and methods. No one has tried to upgrade it to the highest level..."

Hearing this, Li Miao looked at him with a strange expression.

"You may think too highly of me. I don't have so much wax to try this."

"I have already told you this. It's your business whether you go or not." The storyteller chuckled.

Li Miao didn't say anything, and felt a little bit of liver pain.

The Lingzhu game doesn't cost money, but it's a bit time-consuming.

As they talked, the two came to the location of the starfish merchant.

It is worth mentioning that there was another player here at this time, who seemed to be asking for a task and was trying to persuade the starfish merchant.

"Brother, your shoulders must be tired, I will give you a shoulder massage..."

"Brother, do you want to eat dried fish..."

"Brother, do you need any help..."

This player was very attentive, which made the starfish merchant look confused and didn't know what to say.

"This... um... this warrior, you don't have to be like this..."

"I don't need help now, maybe there will be some after a while..."

The starfish tribe under the black robe wiped the cold sweat.

These warriors of Lord Rogge are really strange.

They seem to be very persistent about the notes that Lord Rogge arranged for them.

After sending out three notes, this warrior who came a step late kept showing his courtesy to him, making him uncomfortable.

I don't have any notes, what are you trying to do, brother?

The starfish tribe was really puzzled.

Seeing this situation.

Li Miao, who had just arrived, and the storyteller looked at each other, both of them a little bit overwhelmed.

As players, they naturally knew what this newbie was up to.

The starfish merchant was obviously an NPC who could give quests, so he had to please her.

However, if the note is gone, it is gone. The Starfish tribe cannot produce another one. It was given by Lord Rogge. Can he mess it up?

So the new player could only watch the storyteller hand in the task.

"Uh..." Seeing the two of them coming, the Starfish merchant calmed down and then recited the lines: "Well, since you brought back the items I need, I can trade with you."

As he said, the Starfish merchant took out the box next to him.

This made the new player on the side even more envious and jealous.

He had seen this box a long time ago, and when he heard that there was no task, he had some bold ideas.

However, near this island, he could not carry out any offensive behavior and was restricted.

The storyteller took a look at the things in the store.

As expected, what they sold were some weapons, equipment and combat props, and there was nothing particularly powerful. The only difference was that these weapons and equipment did not exist in the Lingzhu store, and some of them were more beautiful.

The storyteller swept them all away directly.

Seeing the new player next to him looking at him pitifully, the storyteller also sold him one or two items, which finally gave him some psychological comfort.

Then, the storyteller began to ask about the relationship between the starfish merchant and the starfish tribe.

In this regard, the starfish merchant did not deny it, saying that this was the will of the candle, and hoped that the candle spirit warriors would have a heart of exploration.

He also mentioned that he was once a member of the starfish tribe, and even said that he had some impression of Li Miao.

"Ah? Me?" Li Miao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this NPC would give people such a little surprise.

Damn, just like the real world!

"Yes, you are a respectable warrior." The starfish merchant said to Li Miao with a smile.

This made Li Miao straighten his waist involuntarily.

The storyteller nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.

It really is linked together. It seems that in the background story, it was the candle that brought these starfish people to the candle firewood island...

...

Rogge, who was watching secretly, took a look and retracted his gaze.

These puzzle treasures were naturally designed by him, Nonia and Burton together, in order to fill in some "game" content and add some fun.

After all, there were not many treasures to be fished near Zhuxin Island. It seemed rather empty and dead, not like a game.

Many players have complained about the space of Lingzhu map in the forum. There are only monsters and too few contents in the sea.

However, Lingzhu's advantages in other aspects overshadow these shortcomings, and players naturally have no big opinions.

Now that Rogge can freely change Zhuxin Island, he also adds some surprises to the players and encourages them to go out to sea to explore.

However, since it is a reward that all players can get, Rogge also set a small update every three days, and handed over the design to the little witch Nonia.

Anyway, it's just some simple puzzles and running maps, and it's also very simple to change the terrain.

After the transition, a new map will be opened. Can you give me some bright suggestions for me to refer to.
