Chapter 156 White Ape Sword Master
Chapter 156 White Ape Sword Master
After completing the task and receiving the reward, Xiao Jie was not in a hurry to leave.
It's so rare to meet such a hermit master, I have to make good use of him.
Generally speaking, if you raise the favorability of an NPC to 100, you can get a gift from the other party. Granny Li can give you a good manual on martial arts. If this hermit master can raise the favorability to 100, he will definitely give you a unique martial art.
Of course, Xiao Jie could also imagine that the more powerful the person is, the harder it would be to increase his favorability, but everything depends on human efforts, and people should always have dreams.
Moreover, Xiao Jie now has a huge advantage, that is, other players cannot communicate with this white ape at all. It can be said that it is his exclusive target of strategy. This condition is truly unique.
He said happily, "Thank you, Senior Ape, for your help. With this recipe, I will definitely be able to brew the best wine. By the way, Senior Ape, if you need anything else, just let me know. I will do my best to help you."
"No, I'm living a carefree life in this mountain. Everything I need is readily available. You don't need to worry about it."
Seeing that the white ape's attitude became cold, Xiao Jie thought that this master was indeed difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, I was prepared.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Ape, I also brought some other things, I wonder if Senior Ape is interested."
As he spoke, Xiao Jie placed the things in his bag on the ground one by one. The nature of this animal cannot be understood by human thinking. According to Xiao Jie's experience these days, the minds of animals are often simple and naive, more like human children.
Don't be fooled by the white ape's mature tone, but when you see the happy expression on his face while making tea and getting dressed, he is not much different from a child.
Xiao Jie calculated this exactly and deliberately placed things all over the floor.
The white ape looked indifferent at first, but as he watched, he couldn't take his eyes away.
"Hey, what is this?" The white ape picked up a book called "Travels of a Strange Man" and flipped through it without knowing what it meant.
"This is a book." Xiao Jie explained, "It is used to record knowledge."
"Travels of a Strange Man", "Classic of Materia Medica", "Records of the Nine Provinces" and "Illustrated Book of Mountains and Seas" were all found by Xiao Jie in the old house of the Tian family.
"Books? I've heard people talk about this thing before. It turns out it looks like this. I heard that reading books can make you smarter. I have to take a look. I've been hanging out with these monkeys all day and I'm almost going stupid. It's rare to have something to entertain myself. I'll study it carefully."
As he said this, he picked up a book and pretended to read it.
Xiao Jie's eyelids twitched and said, "Brother, it seems you held it upside down."
However, he decisively did not remind her that one should not be too straightforward.
The white ape read a few pages but couldn't get the point, so he opened a map of mountains and seas and said, "This time I finally understand it a little bit - there are illustrations."
"Not bad, not bad. Being a monkey really requires you to read more books. I really like this thing of yours. I want it. What do you want? I can exchange it with you for some fruit."
"Senior Yuan, you don't have to be polite. These are all my honor to you. I am very happy that you like me. Why would I ask for anything in return?"
The best reward is favorability.
"Oh my, this is so embarrassing." The white ape said, but still folded a few books carefully and stuffed them into his arms.
[System prompt: The nameless white ape's favorability towards you has increased by 3 points, and is now 48.]
Xiao Jie thought to himself that there was a way, so he continued -
"And this, Senior Ape, look, these are the bowls and plates that humans use to eat. I think they're perfect for you to use to hold the fruit."
"I recognize it, I recognize it. I've seen people using it before. Okay, I'll take this one too."
[System prompt: Nameless White Ape's favorability towards you has increased by 1 points.]
Just a little... It seems that it must be a rare thing that the white ape has never seen before in order to gain a higher favorability.
Fortunately, I bought a lot of things.
"And this, look at this thing, it's very interesting."
This time, he took out a windmill and a rattle, both of which were bought at a toy stall. The white ape was really smiling.
"Okay, okay, I've seen this thing before, but I've never played with it. Let me study it carefully."
It went up another 3 points.
Xiao Jie continued to deliver things to them one by one. The white ape's preferences were quite strange. Some things could inexplicably trigger its quirks, such as crab meat. Originally, he thought the monkey would probably not have any reaction to this kind of thing, but unexpectedly, it also increased its favorability by 3 points.
However, not everything can increase in value. Occasionally, good intentions may result in bad results. For example, if you give a high-quality firewood, you might think that the monkey would be very interested in this stick-like thing.
Unexpectedly, the white ape became furious and lost two points instead.
Fortunately, most gifts can still improve favorability, and at worst, it will just show no interest.
In a short while, most of the things in Xiao Jie's bag were given away, and his favorability level reached 64.
After looking around, there was really nothing I could give.
The rest are equipment. I definitely can’t give them away if they are for my own use, but if there is a spare one I can try.
A bow and arrow definitely won’t work. It’s used by hunters, and the monkeys would probably get furious if they saw it.
You can try this knife.
He had three knives on him: the goose-feather knife, the blood-drinking knife, and the broadsword.
According to his experience, each item can only increase favorability the first time it is given, but it will have no effect the second time. Therefore, if you want to increase favorability, you still have to give good things.
Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and threw the Yanling Knife out.
The white ape seemed a little surprised and a little emotional when holding the Yanling knife. "Hey, this knife is pretty good, are you going to give it to me?"
"That's right. I think Senior Yuan is an expert. If you like this sword, I'll give it to you."
"Haha, it's rare that you are so kind. I really want to get a knife to play with." It took the goose feather knife and danced with it violently.
They actually started practicing in an open space.
Its body was as fast as the wind, as agile as a shadow, and its swordsmanship was as divine as a god. At first, Xiao Jie could still see the white ape's body movements, but in a flash, he could only see a vague white shadow flashing in front of his eyes, and the sharp sword light flashing in the air.
A gust of wind blew some leaves, and as soon as they entered the side of the white ape, they were instantly split into two halves.
Wow, what a powerful swordsmanship! This white ape is actually an expert with a sword?
With this kind of combat power, even the chivalrous and unparalleled one back then would not be able to match it.
This agility must be at least 100!
This swordsmanship must be at least at the master level, maybe even the grandmaster level.
brush!
The white ape finally finished practicing his sword skills and returned to Xiao Jie. He looked around and found that there was not a single leaf intact on the ground. "Not bad, not bad. I like this gift very much."
[System prompt: The nameless white ape's favorability towards you has increased by 10 points. You watched the white ape swordsmanship demonstration by the white ape swordsman, and your swordsmanship experience has increased by 500 points.
White Ape Sword Saint? Is this its true identity? Then this favorability must be maxed out.
Not bad, this sword was not given in vain. It increased my favorability by 10 points and my swordsmanship experience by 500 points.
Xiao Jie comforted himself in his heart that this Yanling knife had been with him for so long, and now it was finally time to replace it with a new one.
The Blood Drinking Sword is still there. I will buy a better one after I sell the Monkey Wine and have enough money.
Xiao Jie looked at his favorability level, which had reached 74.
But I can't find anything else to give.
"Senior Yuan, is there anything else you want? As long as you want it, I will definitely get it for you."
The white ape pondered for a moment, "You have given me so many gifts, you are a good person. I do have something I want, but it's a pity that you can't give it to me."
"what is that?"
"Hmph, let's not talk about it." After saying that, he ignored Xiao Jie.
It seems that the favorability is not enough, and Xiao Jie is becoming more and more interested.
He could feel that if he could get the thing the white ape wanted most, he would definitely get the best reward. Sooner or later, he would have to fill it up.
By the time Xiao Jie returned to Xiaofeng City, it was already five o'clock.
Xiao Jie did not stop and came to the auction house again to start buying materials for making monkey wine. Fortunately, the wild fruits needed for winemaking were still available for sale, and they were not expensive at all, only a few cents each.
A pottery jar costs fifty cents each, and the only relatively expensive material is the angelica grass, which costs 150 cents.
After some calculation, all the materials needed to make Monkey Wine cost a total of 280 Wen.
If you sell them for 1000 wen each, you can earn 720 wen per piece. Even after deducting the transaction tax, you can still earn 620 wen.
This is more profitable than secret dog food.
Xiao Jie immediately went to buy some wild fruits, but unfortunately there were not many wild fruits for sale in the auction house. Xiao Jie bought them all and, after calculation, found that there were only enough to make twelve bottles.
Xiao Jie directly hung up ten bottles and waited to collect the money tomorrow.
Leave the other two bottles in your bag, maybe they will come in handy.
When he reached the market town, he saw the crazy Taoist priest again.
What was surprising was that the crazy Taoist was lying on the ground crying, looking heartbroken.
"Brother, what's going on with this guy?" he asked the player who was setting up a stall nearby.
"The money was stolen."
"Stealing money? Was it done by the players?"
"Who else could it be but the player?" the man said gloatingly, "Damn, I was cheated out of ten taels of silver, and now it's all been stolen. This can be considered as a way to vent my anger."
Xiao Jie was surprised and asked, "Can you steal things in this game?"
"Yes, it should be done by a thief player. The core skill of this profession is stealing, which can steal things from humanoid monsters. Don't worry, you can only steal from monsters and NPCs, not players."
Xiao Jie was a little surprised. There was actually such a profession that could steal money. Wouldn’t the players in this profession make a fortune?
But I guess there should be limitations.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the crazy Taoist priest crying, Xiao Jie's mind suddenly moved and a bold idea emerged.
"Master, don't cry."
"I have no money left, how can I not cry?"
"I have something that can make you no longer sad."
Right click to give Monkey Wine as a gift.
"Have a bottle of wine to ease your worries."
The crazy Taoist was stunned for a moment when he saw the Monkey Wine in his hand, then he gulped down the whole bottle in one breath and sighed, "Good wine, but unfortunately it's not as good as the immortal wine in the Immortal Palace. If I have a chance one day, I'll invite you to taste it. That's what we call fine wine. Your wine is just average."
This bastard really deserves to be robbed. He is still bragging even in this state.
"You're welcome. It's just a good deed. Forget about the immortal wine or anything like that."
"Wait a minute, I'm not a freeloader. I don't have any immortal wine right now, so I'll just give you a secret book of immortal magic."
[System prompt: The Crazy Taoist has given you the item [Secret of Immortal Magic]].
Xiao Jie quickly opened his backpack and started checking it.
【Xianfa Secret and (garbage)
Item Description: A blank bamboo scroll with crude writings scribbled on it, of no value. 】
Although he was mentally prepared, Xiao Jie still couldn't help being disappointed. He turned out to be a liar. Fortunately, this investment was not large.
He roughly understood the position of this crazy Taoist. Xiao Jie had encountered this kind of NPC before when he was playing World of Warcraft. There was a "peerless treasure merchant" in Shattrath City, selling all kinds of garbage with awesome names, such as incredible extraordinary stones, genuine treasure hunting amulets, and shark teeth of swift water...
The names are more impressive than each other and the prices are very expensive, but they are useless.
It is purely used for fun, and many players were fooled at first, especially the genuine treasure-hunting amulet. Many metaphysical players even bought it and put it in their bags even though they knew it was useless, just to make themselves feel at ease. Xiao Jie had also done this before, but the facts proved that this thing is completely useless, and when touching a corpse, the black hands will still be used.
This crazy Taoist should be a similar existence.
Fortunately, a bottle of wine only cost 280 coins, which was not a big loss compared to those who were cheated out of ten taels of silver.
Xiao Jie looked at the secret book of immortal magic in his bag and hesitated whether to throw it away. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't bear to throw it away.
This kind of strange thing may come in handy at any time.
If all else fails, you can give it to the white ape as a gift or something.
