Chapter 264 Three Emails
Seeing Xiao Jie lost in thought, Chen Tianwen asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry to get money? To buy a house?"

"I need to go to the Jintuan to buy some things." Xiao Jie helplessly told his troubles again, and suddenly smiled and said, "How about you lend me some?"

"Sure, but I can't borrow too much. Since I left the Pantheon, I don't have much financial resources in the game."

"Aren't you an alchemy major? That's a big money maker."

Xiao Jie had seen the elixirs in the auction house. A high-level elixir could be sold for a few taels of silver, and a top-level elixir could even be sold for more than ten or dozens of taels.

Chen Tianwen shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Pills do make money, but the competition is fierce. All the major guilds have their own alchemists, and the materials for alchemy are expensive. You can basically only make a processing fee from common pill recipes. Only unique secret recipes can really make money, so I can only make a small profit."

"Then lend me as much as you can."

"Okay, then I'll lend you three hundred taels. Is that enough?"

Xiao Jie thought to himself, he is really generous, and he said it is not much? Three hundred taels! He has been selling monkey wine for so long, and the total sales are not even three hundred taels.

"That's about right!" Xiao Jie said.

Chen Tianwen casually removed the magic circle: "Let me make it clear first, this money must be paid back."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I can't be any worse than you."

Xiao Jie readily agreed, "When will you give me the money? I need it tomorrow."

"I'll send it to you via the post office later, and you can pick it up at the post office."

On the way home, Xiao Jie kept pondering over what Chen Tianwen had just said, feeling quite emotional. He didn't expect that so many things had happened in the past. No wonder he always felt that the government's attitude towards games was so weird.

It's said that he doesn't really care about the boss.

However, it is obvious that the government has not really let things go. Needless to say, the "Old Country Player Management Regulations" of the Game Management Bureau can, in a sense, control the players to a certain extent.

Secondly, the Soaring Dragon Knights were most likely formed at the behest of the government, but they were probably not directly affiliated with the government. This can be seen from the composition of the personnel, most of whom are peripheral members recruited from the game.

It can be seen that the official attitude towards the game does not dare to intervene too deeply, but Long Xing Tian Xia definitely had a government background in the past, and he might even be a soldier.

This is probably the government's second-best option. Judging from the development of the Dragon Knights, the one who created the game doesn't mind it.

After a lot of thoughts, I finally came back to myself. It's useless to think so much. The most important thing is to make myself stronger.

If I can become an immortal, what does it matter if I’m an official?
If guns and cannons can kill martial arts masters, I don't believe that they can also kill immortals. When the time comes, you can take revenge and save people, which can be said to be a happy life.

Now that I know the official reason, I have no more worries.

He even had a vague guess that the being who created the game might be like the main god in Infinite Horror, wanting to watch the game players evolve?

Xiao Jie returned home quickly.

He couldn't wait to log into the game. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon. There was no delivery time at GameStop, so Chen Tianwen's remittance should have arrived.

Arriving at the post station, we found that this Canglinzhou post station was quite unique. It was an independent wooden building located on the branch of a giant tree. The branches around the roof were full of birds, one row after another, with mail packages hanging on their bodies and the word "mail" written on them. It seemed that the Canglinzhou post station actually used birds to deliver letters and items.

Of course, this is just a background. Emails in the game actually arrive instantly.

Xiao Jie revealed his identity to the postman and asked to receive the mail.

The postman was a horse-headed man. He nodded when he heard Xiao Jie's name and said, "Ah, it turns out to be Yin Yue Sui Feng. Here are indeed three emails for you. Please sign for them."

Hmm? Three emails?

Xiao Jie took the emails and opened them one by one behind his back.

The first email turned out to be a letter, and to his surprise it was the long-awaited professional task.

Hidden Moon Follows the Wind:
Hello sir, I heard that you are an ancient Qigong practitioner who has inherited the ancient Qigong practice method. Our association is quite interested in this technology and has been researching related content, so we are sending this letter to you.

I hope to work together to study the ancient Qigong technique.

Our association has acquired a lot of information about ancient Qigong and is in urgent need of qualified practitioners.

You can choose one of the following three tasks to complete.

I am looking forward to your inspiration on the practice of ancient Qigong.

Signed: Qi Refining Research Association]

Xiao Jie was speechless. Is there such an organization in this game? Why does it feel like it was randomly generated by the system? I have never heard of the name of this organization before.

Besides, associations and the like don’t really fit in with this ancient oriental background.

Forget it, at least there are career tasks to complete.

[System prompt: Triggering a career task, please choose one of the following three career tasks. Note: Players can only choose one career task, and abandoned tasks cannot be reselected, so please choose carefully.]

Mission 1: Explore the ruins.

Mission content: Deep in the ancient mountains of Canglin Prefecture, there is a long-mysterious valley. It is said to be one of the dojo where ancient Qigong practitioners cultivated immortality and practiced Taoism. Although the Qigong practitioners in this dojo did not achieve anything and eventually disappeared in the long river of history, according to the research of this association, the ruins still have great academic research value. It is very likely that the secret method of using spiritual energy for ancient Qigong practices will be found in the ruins.

Please find the ruins and explore them in depth.

Mission reward: Qi Refining Secret Method x 3.

Mission 2: Paradise.

Mission content: Deep in the swamp of Mengzezhou, someone discovered a strange sinkhole. A large number of powerful monsters were born in the sinkhole. Our society is very interested in this. After research, it is very likely that the sinkhole is a place where spiritual energy gathers, the legendary "blessed land" of the cultivators.

Please find the sinkhole and explore it in depth.

Note: The monsters lurking in the tiankeng may cause unpredictable risks to exploration, so please be mentally prepared.

Mission reward: spiritual energy value × 5000.

Mission 3: Mysterious Map

Mission content: We once found the body of a Qi Refiner in a cave. The body had no external injuries and was lifelike, just like a living person. The specific cause of death could not be determined. We also found a map in his hand. The map did not indicate what was hidden in the marked locations, so there was a possibility of encountering any kind of danger or opportunity.

Please find the location indicated on the map and explore what it is.

Mission Reward: ????

Xiao Jie took a look at the three tasks, thought for a moment and then made a choice.

Task 2 was abandoned first. He now had the Immortal Gourd, which could absorb the inner core of monsters to refine spiritual energy. These 5000 spiritual energies were no longer of much significance to him. If he didn't have the Immortal Gourd, he could consider it.

Mission 3 is too vague, and the potential for both reward and risk is huge. If it were any other game, I might consider taking a gamble, but in this death game, I gave up without even thinking about it.

Then choose Task 1.

This secret method of refining Qi is still very useful. Although it is not often used in normal times, it is definitely a powerful skill at critical moments.

Speaking of it, as an ancient cultivator, I have very few skills except for unlocking a few legendary traits. Now I can finally expand my skill tree.

System prompt: Accept the task [Search for Relics] and obtain the item - Relics Map. The ruins have been marked on your map.

I opened the map and took a look. It’s okay, not too far away. It’s located in the mountains north of Canglin Prefecture. Maybe I can search for it when I go back to kill the monster BOSS.

Open the second email.

Another letter, and an item attached. Hey, isn't this the Phantom Pearl?
Looking at the glittering bead in the mail, Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this thing in the white ape's possession? How could it be sent back to him?

He took a look at the letter and found that it was indeed written to him by the white ape.

【See the letter:
Boy, how have you been? I, your elder brother, have had enough of playing outside and have now returned to Monkey Mountain. It is useless for me to keep this bead, so I am sending it back to you.

If you appreciate your friendship with your elder brother, please come to Monkey Mountain to see me if you have time. If you don’t have time, forget it.

Yuan Baishu:

Xiao Jie frowned as he read the contents of the letter. It was a good thing that the Magical Pearl was recovered, but why did the White Ape give it up? Could it be that - an uneasy thought suddenly occurred to him.

Is this old monkey about to die?
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.

Although the content of the letter is simple, it reveals a sense of relief from seeing through the world.

The signature was Yuan Baishu, and it was obvious that he identified himself as a human being, but he still gave the Fantasy Spirit Pearl to himself. Could it be that he felt that his time was up, so he returned to Monkey Mountain to wait for death?

No, after completing the mission this time, I have to go to Monkey Mountain on my way back.

The third letter, this time I finally received the money from Chen Tianwen.

A transfer of exactly three hundred taels.

There is also a message from Chen Tianwen.

[Spend sparingly, I won’t have any more. Don’t forget to pay me back later. - Chen Tianwenshu]

Looking at the several hundred taels of silver that suddenly appeared in his bag, Xiao Jie thought that there would be no problem now.

We can definitely take down those bosses tomorrow.

Xiao Jie went to the auction house to do some shopping first. Although the money was mainly used to buy things, it was time to improve his supplies.

The drugs he currently uses are still ordinary store-bought ones.

Golden Wound Medicine (large amount)——Restores 150 health points.

Chengqi Dan——Restores 100 points of internal force.

Double Strength Pill - Restores 100 points of physical strength.

This amount of recovery cannot be said to be useless, but the effect is really not that great. The battle is so tense and taking medicine takes time, so the opportunities to recover are really too few. Every time you take medicine is precious, and this amount of recovery is not enough.

Xiao Jie simply bought some mid- to high-end medicinal pills - he still couldn't afford the top-level ones.

Small Huandan - Restores 200 points of internal strength. 1200 coins per pill, Xiao Jie bought ten at once.

Dragon Power Pill - Restores 400 points of health. 800 coins per pill. Bought pills.

Life-giving Pills: Restores 10 health points in 300 seconds. 1000 coins per pill, and I bought pills.

I have to say that this advanced medicine is really expensive. One Da Li Pill is only 50 wen, the Dragon Power Pill is 16 times more expensive, while the Recovery Pill is only increased by eight times.

The Shengsheng Zaohua Pill is even more exaggerated. Its effect is only twice as high as the Golden Wound Medicine (in large quantities), but its price has increased fivefold.

But in order to save your life, this is a necessary investment.

After all, when the critical moment comes, you won’t have enough time to take medicine and recover slowly.

Of course, Xiao Jie also brought a lot of ordinary pills. He would use ordinary pills when it was not urgent, and use valuable pills in critical moments.

Everything is ready, and now we just have to wait for the fight to start tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the group of eight arrived at the assembly point on time.

For today's action, everyone was fully prepared and armed, and each of them carried a lot of silver in their bags.

The Drunken Swordsman had obviously watched the video of Xiao Jie's battle against Xiong Ba, and he became much more polite to Xiao Jie after they met.

"Oh, Brother Suifeng, no, it's Brother Suifeng, I didn't recognize you yesterday and I was a little angry, please don't take it as an offense, Brother Suifeng."

Xiao Jie was a little uncomfortable with the Drunken Swordsman's change. Even if you recognize my strength, you can just be polite. Why does it sound like he is even trying to please me?
"Haha, it's okay. My level is a little low. It's a normal person's reaction. We just need to understand each other."

An Ran suddenly chuckled, as if she realized something.

"Don't just stand there, let's get the mission."

Haomie also said: "Let's go, let's go take the mission."

Soon everyone came to the bounty board.

This is a huge stone tablet, standing at the foot of the giant tree, where the traffic converges, and it reads -

Letter to the People:

Our Canglin State is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and all living beings are blessed.

However, there are unexpected changes in the weather. There are evil stars coming to the world from outside, causing chaos in the world. There are also demons causing trouble inside, causing chaos for all living beings.

The governor, Xiaoyue, has to resist the attack of the evil demons in the Demon Star Tower and has no way to escape, so he recruits brave men to eliminate demons for the people, but whoever succeeds will be rewarded handsomely.

There are a total of thirty-six monster leaders on this list, all of whom have rewards offered, and the people are working together to hunt them down.

First place: Green Dragon King - Level 58 BOSS. Reward amount - 3000 taels.

Second place: King Jinwu - Level 55 BOSS. Reward amount - 2500 taels.

Third place: Black Lion King - Level 48 BOSS. Reward amount - 2000 taels.

fourth place……

Xiao Jie directly scrolled to the bottom of the list.

No. 34: Ying Baiyu (Goshawk Monster) - Level 25 Boss. Bounty amount - 400 taels.

No. 35: Li Jinlin (Carp Spirit) - Level 23 Boss. Bounty - 300 taels.

No. 36: Niu Dali (Yellow Ox Spirit) - Level 26 Boss. Reward amount - 200 taels.

When Xiao Jie saw the last three, he was slightly stunned. This list seemed weird no matter how he looked at it.

How come Niu Dali, who is level 26, is ranked last?
And why are the first few all ×× kings, without names, and just BOSSes, while the ones behind them mostly have human-like names, and are all leader-level BOSSes?
There seems to be something to this.

He clicked on the name on the ranking with his mouse and was able to pull up the BOSS identity description.

Niu Dali (yellow cattle essence)
The monster's life: He used to be a guard at the home of Mr. Ma in Anping Town. Because Mr. Ma withheld food and wages for three years, he was furious and slaughtered all of Mr. Ma's family. He then became a bandit, ate humans and turned into a monster. He did evil and lawless things and gradually became a disaster.

Niu Dali recruited many bull demon tenants to serve him, and also recruited more than a hundred demon bandits from nearby mountains to set up a stronghold in Manniu Mountain.

The mayor of Anping Town once led a militia team to attack the mountains and suppress the rebellion, but was defeated and died.

If any brave warrior can bring back his head, the Canglin Prefecture will reward him with 200 taels of silver and grant him the title of "Demon-Subduing Warrior."
