In the afternoon, Du Yu took a special bus and arrived at the mysterious land of demons and spirits in the southern suburbs of Songguta City.
When he first came here, Du Yu thought he had come to a forest park. Although there were few people here, there were all kinds of buildings.
Monster pet center, monster pet hospital, monster pet store... even a monster pet beauty salon? Du Yu watched the various gorgeous stores for a long time.
Finally, Du Yu found an independent wooden-house-style building on the far right.
Demon Spirit Bookstore!
This is the official national chain brand of Daxia, and it is also the institution used by many monster fighters to make a living.
Du Yu walked forward and saw a row of small words below the plaque: Songguta South Suburb Branch.
Du Yu, carrying two bows on his back, opened the door and walked into the study. As the wind chimes on the door rang, the guy behind the bar also stood up.
Although Du Laoliu was wearing a cloak, a hood, and carrying two bows, he did not attract any strange looks from the bartender. He just smiled and nodded: "Demon Spirit student?"
Du Yu took out his ID and handed it over.
"Oh, you're a non-staff student. I wish you can become a regular employee soon." The clerk handed back the ID with a smile on his face. "How can I help you?"
Du Yu took off his hood and looked curiously inside the library. There were two floors, and he couldn't see the entire second floor. He could only see some bookshelves.
The lobby on the first floor is more like a cafe with an excellent environment. At this moment, several monster controllers are resting here and feeding their monster pets.
"Is this your first time here?" The clerk noticed Du Yu's curious expression and asked, "Do you need me to introduce you?"
"OK."
The shop assistant said: "The upper floor is the library, which is also equipped with computers for you to check information for free. The lower floor is the lounge, which provides simple meals for monster masters and monster pets.
The main function of the Monster Bookstore is to issue tasks to monster masters. The points earned from the tasks are universal in monster hospitals, monster shops, etc. "
The young man turned slightly and pointed to the small blackboard on the wall: "Here are today's bounty tasks. There is no limit to the number of tasks you can accept, but you must pay attention to the time limit. If the task exceeds the time limit, points will be deducted.
The names and phone numbers on the blackboard next to it are those of people seeking to form a team. As you can see, most of these people are here for the sixth mission.
Du Yu glanced at the "Friendship Section" and then looked at the Task Section.
There are 6 tasks in total, 4 bronze tasks and 2 silver tasks.
In fact, it would be better to just mark it as "Bronze Mission". Why did they have to write "Bronze for Heroism" on the blackboard to make it seem like everyone is really heroic...
"We are the Novice Demon Spirit Bookstore here. There are only three types of missions: gathering missions, intelligence missions, and combat missions. You will know after reading the content."
1. Collect a beard tree vine that is more than 3 meters long.
Mission level: Heroic Bronze. Time limit: 10 days. Reward points: 1.
2. Collect 8 fruits of any kind from monster plants.
Mission level: Heroic Bronze, time limit: 10 days. Reward points: 1.
... ...
5. Last night, a huge insect chirping sound was heard in Area 1 of the Demonic Spirit Realm. We found out the source of the sound, collected accurate information, and left relatively clear video footage to provide to the Demonic Spirit Bookstore.
Mission level: Unyielding Silver, time limit: 7 days. Reward points: 5.
6. A ferocious and violent two-leaf grass snake corroded by cold air appeared in Area 4 of the Demonic Realm. Its estimated strength is at the peak of the ordinary level.
Kill the two-leaf grass snake, obtain the demon crystal that has been contaminated by the cold air, and hand it in to the Demon Spirit Book House.
Mission level: Unyielding Silver, time limit: 10 days. Reward points: 10.
Du Yu wondered, "If I don't accept a certain task, but I complete it during the training process, can I submit it directly after I come back?"
The young man nodded immediately: "Of course, provided that the task is still on the blackboard for that day."
Du Yu nodded repeatedly: "If I'm not here that day, I'll sleep on the floor here for a day and wait for the blackboard to change tasks the next day."
The clerk smiled and said, "You want to complete a task? You can only complete the same task once a day. Also, what if there is no task you want to submit the next day?"
Du Yu: "Then... Then I will sleep for a few more days until it comes out?"
The shop assistant: “…”
Du Yu blinked his eyes. "If I collect 100 beard tree vines in one go and sleep here for a year, I should be able to complete 100 beard tree tasks, right?"
The clerk took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice, "First of all, you can't lift 100 beard tree vines in one go. Second, my young friend, your time is very valuable."
Du Yu waved his hand: "Hey~ that's what I said! By the way, how much can 1 point be exchanged for?"
The clerk said: "One point can be exchanged for 50 yuan."
Swindler! 50 yuan for someone to run an errand
And it's a risky business. You don't know how many days you'll have to run in the strange land of monsters and spirits, and in the end you'll have to hand in all the collected items!
I can earn more by wearing a yellow robe and delivering takeout with Xiaoyan.
Maybe there will be many customers and ladies who will give tips...
The clerk saw Du Yu's indignation and said with a smile: "If you exchange 1 point for 50 yuan, you can only buy a high-end box lunch outside. If you use 1 point to buy it here directly..."
Du Yu blinked his eyes and asked, "What delicious food can I buy?"
The clerk raised two fingers and said, "You can buy two lunch boxes!"
Du Yu: “…”
At this point, Du Yu really wanted to dance for him, "Thank you, the world is more beautiful because of you!"
Du Yu thought about it and finally accepted 5 tasks, but not the last one. He had no intention of confronting any mortal-level peak creatures at the moment.
After all, there is a small level in between, and it will be very difficult to fight now. The demon aura in the demon spirit realm is strong, and he still has time to grow.
"This is a map of the Demonic World. As a novice, I'll give you a bottle of healing potion for free."
The clerk handed the item over: "The way to use it is to apply it to the wound, which can alleviate the elemental damage caused by the monster breath of various attributes. It has a healing effect on monster masters and monster pets.
There are free lockers over there so you can organize your gear. You've accepted all four gathering missions, so you need to leave space in your backpack."
Du Yu weighed the palm-sized amount of red medicine, said thank you, and walked towards the locker.
While packing his bag, Du Yu asked casually, "By the way, how do I get the ring from this Monster Book House?"
Obtaining a ring from the Monster Bookstore can also allow non-staff students to become regular students. However, for 99.99% of non-staff students, this task is just a face-saving task on the list.
The difficulty of obtaining the rings in each Demon Spirit Book House is extremely high.
The bookstore ring is not only a symbol of honor.
If Du Yu owned the ring of this book house, he could enjoy discounts on goods in all the stores around this magical land. Some goods would even be provided to the owner of the ring for free, such as meals for ordinary humans!
If Du Yu could really get a ring, at least he wouldn't have to worry about food for the rest of his life.
As for the origin of the bookstore ring...
You know, not all bounties can be resolved perfectly.
For those tasks that have existed for more than 3 years and have not been completed, if you can solve them properly, the bookstore will issue you a ring at its discretion after a series of strict reviews.
The shop assistant smiled. He had seen countless novice demon controllers like this and was already used to these kids who didn't know their own limits.
He pointed in the direction of the store door: "It's hanging there."
Du Yu looked over and saw a small blackboard hanging above the store door with a task written on it: "In the 5th area of the Demonic Spirit Realm, there are two twin ancient trees that bloom in summer and bear fruit in autumn every year.
Mission objective: Pick a complete twin tree flower or a complete twin tree fruit.
Mission level: Honor Gold. Reward: Demon Spirit Bookstore - Songguta South Suburb Branch Ring. "
Following Du Yu's question, a few students in the quiet study looked over and looked at the small blackboard on the door.
The clerk said with emotion: "I have been working here for 7 years. When I first joined, this task already existed, and it has not been erased until now."
At the dining table, a girl holding a wolfhound asked, "With so many experts in Daxia, can't we pick the flowers and fruits of the Twin Trees?"
The shop assistant said: “This magical land is only open to demon masters, and higher-level demon masters are not allowed to enter.
In addition, there are troops stationed around the twin ancient trees. They can see clearly what your strength level is, how you picked the flowers and how you took the fruits, so you can't fake it."
The girl nodded and looked at the task on the blackboard with longing in her eyes.
The clerk looked at Du Yu and said jokingly, "You don't have to rush to accept this task. It will be there whenever you come."
Du Yu nodded: "Then I guess it won't be completed."
The clerk said to comfort her: "Don't be discouraged. This task is extremely difficult and not something that ordinary people can accomplish."
Du Yu shook his head: "No, I mean that I'm advancing too fast. Maybe in a few days I'll become a demon tamer, and I won't be allowed to enter the gate here."
Clerk:
He looked at Du Yu and said quietly, "This mission has been here for a reason. To put it bluntly, even if you are a demon tamer, you cannot complete this mission.
Didn’t you see that the mission level is Glory Gold
The difficulty rating given by the bookstore is not wrong. You must be at least a third-level demon tamer to have a chance of completing this task."
Du Yu didn't say anything else. He just put his belongings away, packed up and left, waving goodbye to the clerk.
"Du Yu Du Yu~" As soon as I walked out of the door, Xiao Fenyang's voice came in my mind.
"Um?"
Xiao Fenyang's voice was very excited: "Are we going to peel the bark off the tree?"
Du Yu: “…”
My little Loli is going to be hooked on a tree trunk for the rest of her life!
He thought about it again and again, and still warned: "You must be careful. There will be soldiers stationed and patrolling after entering the Demon Spirit Realm. You must hide well."
Xiao Fenyang seemed a little unwilling: "Well, okay..."
Du Yu ran straight to the entrance. His backpack was much lighter and he only brought the demon soldier Yinhuo.
In fact, the black wood of the demon soldier can be recycled, after all, it still has more than 20 days of use period.
Although Du Yu was short of money, he had no intention of selling it. After all, the black wooden bow was the contributor that helped him get the outstanding student.
When he makes money and rents a house in the future, he plans to hang up this meritorious magic weapon as a souvenir.
Du Yu took the non-staff student certificate and passed through the gate smoothly. He smelled the fragrance of plants and trees, and his face looked a little intoxicated.
Xiao Fenyang suddenly said, "There are so many trees."
Du Yu had a premonition that if he hadn't stopped him, Xiao Fen Yang would have stripped all the bark from the trees in this forest!
As for why Xiao Fenyang was not interested in that forest during the previous assessment, it was probably because those were just ordinary trees
Thinking of this, Du Yu picked up his mobile phone and started taking pictures and scanning everywhere like a tourist.
“The Bearded Tree is a dual-element demonic plant of earth and wood.
The naturally hanging branches are called 'whiskers', which are low-level demon plant materials with a wide range of uses.
Strength level evaluation in progress... ...
Ordinary level, initial stage ~ Ordinary level, minor stage. The specific strength is subject to the actual situation. The illustration detection is for reference only. "
Du Yu opened his mouth wide. The tree in front of him was bare, and even the branches had been broken off. It looked like a big thick stick sticking there. Where did the beard come from
Good man~ My fellow demon-controllers are really killing me! Look at what they have stripped...
This bearded tree is so unlucky. Why does it have to grow right in front of the gate when there are so many other places for it to grow
Du Yu stepped forward, patted the bearded tree gently, and tore off a small piece of bark.
Little Fenyang couldn't help but cheer: "Wow~ I'm so happy! Du Yu is the best!"
Du Yu: “…”
