Two days ago, an acquaintance sent a message saying that he had discovered a place with beautiful scenery. The mountains and rivers were so unique that he didn't dare to enjoy it alone, so he invited Zhu Bo to go and enjoy it together.
Translated, it means that I found a relic, but failed in my first exploration. I plan to team up with Zhu Bo, and the harvest depends on my own ability.
Zhu Bo knew very well the strength of the person who wrote the letter. The other party suffered a great loss, and it would be almost the same if he led the team instead.
Moreover, the other party suffered a great loss once, so they must be more thoroughly prepared for the second time. They are probably looking for cannon fodder by recruiting him into the group.
This business is a bit tricky.
Zhu Bo hesitated for two days and decided to do it.
The reason is simple. The other party did not look for a stronger colleague, but chose him who was of the same strength. This shows that there must be good things in the ruins. The strength of the two teams is almost the same, so there is room for maneuver whether it is cooperation or fighting.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, so it's worth a try.
There is another important reason. There are not many good graves these days. If you dig one less, you will have one less. If you miss this time, you don’t know when you will have the next one.
Considering the risk of falling out and that the other party must have other strong reinforcements, Zhu Bo decided to bring Lu Bei along.
Feng Si said that Lu Bei's strength was not inferior to his. He was a novice who had never been to a tomb and had studied theoretical knowledge for two days, so he was an excellent partner.
Zhu Bo didn't ask Lu Bei to do anything, just help when a fight broke out.
"How about it, Brother Lu, are you going to do this?"
Zhu Bo looked at Lu Bei with burning eyes and said in a serious tone, "Don't think too much. I won't blame you if you don't want to. This cooperation is a bit complicated and even I may not be able to grasp it."
[You have received the task [Ruins Exploration]]
[Mission Description: The underground ruins are treacherous and dangerous, but the rewards are also huge. This is an adventure full of dangers. How far can you go?]
[Main Quest: Survival, Reward: 200,000 Experience Points]
[Main quest: Explore the ruins and be rewarded according to your contribution]
[Side quest: Not triggered]
[Do you accept?]
[whether]
Is there even any need to think about this? Just by going in and coming out, you will get 200,000 experience points. You will definitely accept it!
Lu Bei quickly confirmed the mission, took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Bo: "Brother Bo, I am deeply saddened by your words. What do you mean by 'I don't blame you if you don't want to'? Is this what brothers should say?"
"Ah, this..."
Zhu Bo was deeply moved: "Brother Lu, do you mean you are willing?"
"We are brothers. How dare I refuse if elder brother invites me for something? Not to mention that the depth of the water is hard to gauge, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I, Lu Bei, will not frown at a word from you, Brother Bo." Lu Bei swore.
Without even frowning, he turned and walked away.
“Good brother!”
"Be loyal!"
Bang!
The two of them clapped their hands, put their arms around each other's shoulders and made an appointment to go to Yunshui Tower to listen to some music that night.
Lu Bei was in a dilemma about this. His eldest cousin's wife was too strict in supervision, so he could forget about going to Yunshui Tower. However, Mingyue Tower was always available upon call.
Zhu Bo expressed his understanding. Wei Mao had worked in Dashengguan for several years and had never had any consumption record in Yunshuilou. This showed how strict Zhu Yan's discipline was.
"Then we'll meet at Mingyue Tower tonight. This is the token to Dengtianmen. Keep it safe and make sure no one else takes your Qiankun bag away."
"Brother Bo, don't make fun of me."
Lu Bei took the token, and found an additional item called "Gate of Ascension" in the camp. He asked, "Is there any information about that relic in the Gate of Ascension?"
"We'll discuss the details when we get to Mingyue Tower. Go back and pack up, and get ready as soon as possible. We'll set off at noon three days later."
"good."
Lu Bei nodded, and Zhu Bo left in a hurry. He asked Lu Bei to make more preparations, and he was not idle either. He went straight to the prefectural government to find Zhu Ting, told him the truth, and then borrowed thugs.
Zhu Ting pondered for a moment and assigned a personal guard to accompany Zhu Bo. After following him for many years, loyalty was not a problem for him.
As for Lu Bei, after Zhu Bo left, he told Wei Mao and his wife that he had been invited to go on a long journey in three days.
Zhu Yan didn't think too much about it, and told Lu Bei to be careful and be more cautious when going out. It's okay to be cheated of money, but don't let yourself be cheated of sex.
Wei Mao seemed to be thinking about something. He waited for Lu Bei to return from Mingyue Tower, took him to the study, and gave him a chain mail to wear underneath.
Blue quality, high quality, and decent defense. Lu Bei's basic attributes have not yet reached the minimum requirements for wearing it, so he needs to add some points when he goes back.
"Cousin, what does this mean?" As usual, Lu Bei put away his equipment before asking.
"There are risks in and out of the ruins. If something happens to you, my wife and I won't be able to explain to you, Senior Sister. Wear this armor. Losing limbs is better than losing your life." Wei Mao said bluntly.
"My eldest cousin said he couldn't explain it, but he didn't stop me. He really doesn't want the best for me!" Lu Bei said with a smile.
"Your heart is too wild to be contained."
Wei Mao shook his head, and then changed the subject: "This armor was passed down from my father. When you come back, don't tell me about the accidental loss. I don't understand."
"Cousin, who do you think I am?" Lu Bei curled his lips, thinking that he was really good at judging people.
"If you have anything else to prepare, tell me before you leave, and I will prepare it for you within three days."
Wei Mao said something that moved Lu Bei greatly, and suddenly changed the subject: "When you return with a full load, you must share a portion of your harvest with me."
"this… "
Lu Bei scratched his head: "Cousin, I don't really understand, why do you hide so much private money?"
"There is a prefect, a county lieutenant, and a county supervisor in Dasheng Pass, plus a manager of the Huangji Sect. I can't afford to offend any of them. It's too tiring to be an official here. I plan to move to a less busy place in the next two years." Wei Mao expressed his thoughts without hiding anything.
"I see."
Lu Bei deeply agreed with this. It would cost money to move, and it would not be easy for Wei Mao either.
"By the way, cousin."
Lu Bei suddenly came up with a plan, and he thought it was a good idea. He smiled and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Cousin, what do you think of my hometown, Langyu County? What if you were transferred there to be a county lieutenant?"
"Langyu County is a place for retirement. It's not easy to get promoted. It can't be considered a horizontal transfer." Wei Mao shook his head.
"You can't say that. The people of Langyu County are simple and honest, and they are the best place to exploit the people. An honest official can earn a fortune in three years..."
"That's enough."
Wei Mao interrupted directly: "Langyu County Lieutenant and I are old acquaintances. If there is any problem, you can go to him. Do you have any other questions?"
“No more.”
Lu Bei raised his hand and gave a thumbs up. Not only was he relieved, he was also convinced. He was worthy of being his cousin and had a bright future.
…
Back in the house, Lu Bei did not directly allocate free attributes, but added experience to the "Demon Slaying Sutra", using the upgraded technique to drive the growth of basic attributes.
[You have comprehended the Demon Slaying Sutra and have made some achievements, Strength +6, Speed +6, Spirit +5]
[You have comprehended the Demon Slaying Sutra and have made some achievements, Strength +6, Speed +5, Spirit +6]
[You comprehended the Demon Slaying Sutra and gained a lot, total level experience +100,000, cultivation +800, health +500]
"As expected of a professional demon-killing technique, it is indeed violent and ruthless, and the increase in basic attributes is so great..."
Just as Lu Bei was praising Mo Buxiu angrily, the Demon Slaying Sutra's technique suddenly changed, and a new piece of information popped up.
[You comprehend the Devil Slaying Sutra, break through the realm of the technique, and slash away a demonic thought. Your total level increases by 5 levels]
[You comprehend the Devil Slaying Sutra, break through the realm of the technique, and comprehend the Devil Slaying Will. From now on, all basic attribute growth will be doubled.]
"Cut off the evil thought... Cut off the evil will..."
"What's this?"
At the same time, in a dim and dark place, black magic fog appeared out of nothing and slowly condensed into a human-shaped outline.
"who I am?"
"Where am I?"
"My name is... Lu..."
