Chapter 51 Elder Haggle
Chapter 51 Elder Haggle
Lu Chao was thrilled to have 500 dubious lottery tickets in hand.
He immediately took out the raffle tickets and examined them carefully, one by one.
"The drop rate for one-star items has been slightly increased, but it's garbage!"
"The chance of getting beef jerky has been greatly increased, what a piece of jerky!"
"A significantly increased chance of winning a dubious raffle ticket? Winning a raffle ticket with a raffle ticket? Outrageous!"
"The drop rate for two-star materials has been slightly reduced, garbage!"
"The drop rate for the back accessory is greatly reduced, it's garbage too!"
"The chances of not getting anything have greatly increased, so thank you for participating."
"Guaranteed to drop a four-star item, haha, this one's pretty good..."
足足用了一个小时,陆超顶才将这500张抽奖券全部检视完毕。他将这500张抽奖券划分为1张极品券、2张精品券、257张普通券、240张辣鸡券。
The top-tier coupon has a random effect that guarantees a five-star item!
"I hope I don't get the wrong five-star item. I'm happy with anything that gives me Heavenly Power, Earthly Power, equipment, or skills, but please don't give me useless junk materials!"
Lu Chao muttered to himself as he quickly tidied up and returned to the sword hut halfway up the mountain.
Elder Mo said to talk to him after collecting the Fiery Stones, but Lu Chao thought there must be another task.
After completing the Fiery Cave dungeon once, Lu Chaoding obtained a total of 50 Fiery Stones. He felt that the dungeon's rewards were mediocre and did not plan to continue. He thought that if there were no important tasks, he would try his luck at the lottery, check the trading market, go back to his cave to sleep, and continue his invasion and cliff jumping activities in the afternoon.
When Lu Chaoding arrived at Jianlu, he saw Zhang Defa.
"You just wait, it's just a Firestone, I'll farm some for you after I reach level 15..."
Zhang Defa roared at Elder Mo. He was wearing the Boiling Blood Battle Armor and seemed to be full of fighting spirit. He had taken two of the three rewards from the Sword Debate, which clearly showed that his enthusiasm had been aroused.
"Ah, Brother Ding! Hello Brother Ding, goodbye Brother Ding..."
Upon seeing Lu Chaoding, Zhang Defa shrank back, cautiously greeted him, and quickly tried to slip away.
"Um."
Lu Chao nodded, then suddenly had an idea and said, "Zhang Defa, don't go, come here!"
"what?"
Zhang Defa was startled, his face immediately turning bitter. Reluctantly, he approached Lu Chaoding, forcing a smile, and said, "Brother Ding, what can I do for you?"
Lu Chao retorted, "Do you have money?"
"Money? No, none at all, I'm penniless!"
"real?"
"I only have a little... no, not much!"
"Give me all of it!"
"Seriously, Brother Ding? In broad daylight, right in front of Elder Mo, you're going to rob us?"
Lu Chao said, "Stop talking nonsense and take it out now!"
Zhang Defa's face was contorted with anxiety, but he ultimately dared not disobey Lu Chaoding, the AI who was always quick to throw people into sacks. Reluctantly, he took out one hundred gold coins and said, "This is all I have..."
Lu Chao didn't waste any words, directly accepting the one hundred gold coins and handing them to Elder Mo, saying, "Buy Fiery Stones!"
Elder Mo remained expressionless and snorted, "I don't sell my skills..."
Suddenly he burst into laughter, took the hundred gold coins, stroked his beard, and said, "Not bad, kid. Here are a hundred Fiery Stones, you can have them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small cloth bag appeared in front of Lu Chao.
Lu Chao didn't even glance at it, turning the small cloth bag to Zhang Defa and saying, "Hand it over, exchange it for money, give me the money!"
Zhang Defa was stunned. What kind of operation was this?
He knew that he could get a gold coin for every firestone he handed over to Elder Mo, but he had never heard of being able to buy firestones from him.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
"Okay, I'll pay, I'll pay right away!"
Zhang Defa handed the small cloth bag to Elder Mo, who chuckled and gave him one hundred gold coins. Zhang Defa then gave these one hundred gold coins to Lu Chaoding, who in turn bought another one hundred Fiery Stones from Elder Mo.
"Come on, hand over the money again, and give it to me!"
"Huh? This...this..." Zhang Defa's eyes widened. "Brother Ding, are you...?"
Lu Chao smiled mysteriously and said, "No doubt about it, I am cheating. Do you want to report me?"
"Brother Ding, you actually cheated!" Zhang Defa jumped up exaggeratedly, then slapped his thigh hard and said, "Hahaha, I like it! Take me with you, take me with you, Brother Ding! I still have three hundred gold coins here..."
"Didn't you say you only had one hundred gold coins!"
Lu Chaoding was not surprised. He continued to collect money from Zhang Defa, then exchange it for Fiery Stones from Elder Mo, and then had Zhang Defa hand over the Fiery Stones in exchange for gold coins.
After switching back and forth like this, the collective task of "handing in 5000 Firestones" was actually completed ten minutes later.
"Ding, system notification: The main storyline of Novice Village No. 523131241 has progressed, and the sword-forging quest at Dogtooth Mountain has officially begun."
With the system notification sound, Elder Mo laughed heartily in front of Lu Chaoding and Zhang Defa, saying, "You disciples this year are quite good. You've actually collected 5000 Fiery Stones so quickly. Now I will reveal the forging blueprint for the Fiery Sword. You will collect materials for me according to the requirements in the blueprint, and I will forge a batch of Fiery Swords. This will also be a test for you."
At that moment, Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, the main storyline has progressed. Congratulations on obtaining the forging blueprint for the Blazing Fire Sword. Collect the relevant materials in the blueprint and you can entrust Elder Mo of the Sword Pavilion to forge a two-star Blazing Fire Sword for you."
"Ding, main storyline progress. You will automatically receive a group material collection mission. The mission requires you to collect and submit the forging materials for 400 sets of Fiery Swords. For each set submitted, you will be rewarded with 100 gold coins. After completing the group mission, the subsequent storyline of Skywalk Island will be unlocked."
"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has been activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Collect and hand over 400 gold coins. For each gold coin handed over, you will be rewarded with 100 Fiery Swords. The subsequent storyline of Skywalking Island will be unlocked after the group mission is completed."
Zhang Defa was stunned.
Lu Chaoding was also stunned at this moment.
Zhang Defa was stunned because the collective task of handing over 5000 Fiery Stones had been completed in such a short time!
According to Zhao Weike, the Fiery Stones can only be obtained from the Fiery Cave, with a yield of 50 stones per run. However, the Fiery Cave has a limited number of entries and requires players to reach level 15 before they can enter. Therefore, theoretically, even if all eight players in a village reach level 15 and solo the Fiery Cave, it would still take at least two and a half days to collect 5000 Fiery Stones.
In reality, it would probably take several days to reach level 15.
But now, in less than ten minutes, this collective task has been completed.
He could only shout in his heart, "Top Brother is awesome!"
Lu Chao was stunned because the unreliable system was becoming more and more outrageous. According to the instructions of this modified mission, he only needed to give Elder Mo 400 gold coins to obtain 40000 Fiery Swords.
Moreover, the sword-forging storyline at Dogtooth Mountain will most likely end soon, and the passage to the Greatsword Breaking Void Mountain will probably open.
"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous! 40000 Fiery Swords for 400 yuan, that's 1 yuan per hundred swords! Where can you find such a price? Even wholesale isn't this ridiculous! Won't this bankrupt Elder Mo? If he resells these Fiery Swords at the trading house, how much money could he make?"
Lu Chao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Looking at Elder Mo again, he couldn't help but feel that Elder Mo was full of bitterness and hatred.
