Chapter 66: The Biggest News Has More Biggest News
Since magic energy can turn an originally ordinary human into a great magician who masters elemental magic, or a knight who exudes infinite fighting spirit, why can't animals become powerful?
This is a proposition without any suspense. According to the Church of Light, all beings are equal under the gaze of the goddess, so even heresy will not only be born among humans. Ordinary beasts will have the opportunity to evolve into powerful monsters under the nourishment of magic energy. Although most of them will not release magic and martial arts like humans, their natural body shape and life advantages make ordinary creatures on the glorious continent frightened them. Not to mention that for a large number of monsters, this powerful force is often hereditary...
Of course, although warcraft is powerful, for those strong people located at the top of the pyramid, they are usually just synonymous with advanced magic materials and experience values. There are even sayings that after killing high-level warcraft, they can remove inner vessels and soul beads from their heads, but it was later proved to be a rumor.
In short, although Su Wen did not have anything related to Warcraft in his original plan, after explaining the purpose of this girl who claimed to be a member of the Magician Guild, he quickly cheered up. Since human corpses can exchange points for themselves according to different levels and professions, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and Su Wen will not take the initiative to kill people, so what about the Warcraft's corpse? You should know that killing a monster in the Brilliant Continent is like killing a pest, which is a great pleasure.
Su Wen is still in the exploration stage of the so-called equivalent exchange system, especially because the number of samples is too small, he still has no idea about the rules of his acquisition. Therefore, after discovering that there might be a chance, Su Wen did not want to give up any possible opportunity to test it, so he stood up and walked to the door in a few steps.
"Can you tell me the details of those monsters, my dear little sister? Actually, I have always dreamed of becoming a bounty headhunter. If I can, I really want to see it."
When talking, Su Wen tried to make himself look polite.
But unfortunately, the woman outside the door seemed to have no affection for him. She stared at his face for two seconds, then pulled her hood, and said with a smile: "There are bulletin boards outside the hotel and the entrance of the town, which are written very clearly on it. If you want to die, our Magician Guild will send you off at any time. My notification is over here, so let's say goodbye."
The next half of the sentence was obviously said to Liticia, and her tone was obviously relieved many times than the previous sentence.
Watching the young girl walk to the next room, Su Wen scratched her hair in a daze, thinking, could it be that she really had a halo of mockery on her body? Otherwise, why would any new character have a negative likes for her? It was obviously the first time she and she met.
"Litsisia, don't you find it strange? Why are you hated when I speak politely?" Su Wen asked for help from the half-elf maid beside him, but found that the latter was also looking at him with bad eyes.
"Master, why don't you pounce on and kiss her?"
Liticia said expressionlessly.
Su Wen thought, "I understand, you mean that my friendship is not enough, right!"
"Yes, yes, please don't talk to me tonight, Master."
Liticia continued to play with her Glock 18 with an unhappy expression.
Su Wen was still a little confused, but he still understood the common sense that women were all inexplicable creatures, so he didn't care too much about these details at the moment. Instead, he pushed the door and left the hotel and came to the bulletin board that he passed by two hours ago but did not notice.
With the help of the not-so-bright magic light, Su Wen barely looked at it for more than ten minutes and finally understood what was going on here that was worthy of the Magician Guild's fight.
In the official section of the northern wasteland, between the town of Setores and the South Plateau City, the creature born thousands of years ago, is facing a major crisis of mass hunting and endangered extinction. Faced with the crisis of race, nine giant sand scorpions centered on a sand scorpion king who had lived for eight hundred years stood up. In order to protect the race they rely on for reproduction, what they do... is to become a monster!
Well, that's probably the background of the story.
Su Wen suddenly remembered that there was a roasted sand scorpion for his dinner, so he easily figured out the form of this mutated monster: if this large arthropod with a twitching claw is enlarged tens of thousands of times, it would probably be the source of the disaster near the road. However, in addition, the announcement also mentioned that many small sand scorpions were also demonized, so that their abilities were enhanced in all aspects. They, who were originally prey, turned into predators, and killed many scorpion villagers who went to capture them and sold them to major restaurants in the South Plateau City.
Su Wen then suddenly realized that no wonder the price of roasted sand scorpion on the menu was posted and rewritten. It turned out that the price was raised in silence because of this reason...
However, according to the calm and quiet situation of the town of Sethorres, even if there is a wave of monsters between here and South Plateau City, it must be something that happened very close to the side of South Plateau City.
Su Wen continued to read and found that the announcement also stated something specifically: "The Magician Guild welcomes any mercenaries and headhunters to come and assist in the elimination of the monsters, but is not allowed to enter the central area where the monsters explode, otherwise they have the right to expel them."
Su Wen immediately understood that this was clearly a declaration of wanting to eat alone. He just didn't drink the soup for himself, leaving some thoughts for those who wanted to make a fortune.
Since the geographical location of the town of Sethores was not ideal, if there were no monsters, it would be an oasis in the middle of a bare wasteland, so even the mercenary union branch did not choose to establish it here. Well... In fact, Su Wen found that it had been established, but the mercenary hall had been abandoned for hundreds of years. Now it has become an empty building standing in the north of the town. I guess it was found that there was no business at all after it was completed, so it was closed.
Therefore, even though the announcement made the situation very scary, Su Wen did not feel any abnormal atmosphere, and there were no large number of mercenaries gathered here. No wonder people would not notice it just by issuing the announcement. For travelers like Su Wen who came from the direction of the Great Valley of Prado, if it were not for the girl wearing a blue hood to inform him, who would have guessed that danger was erupting in the distant wasteland!
Su Wen is indeed very interested in these so-called demonized sand scorpions. Even if he can only get cannon fodder level, it is of great significance to him. However, Su Wen has never been an adventurer, and he quickly made up his mind - since the main battlefield where the monsters exploded is near the South Plateau City, the safest way is of course to take a detour there first, and then consider how to hunt after getting enough information.
As for breaking through the dangerous area directly from the town of Sethorres? Those who dare to do this are either extremely confident in their strength or are pure idiots.
After making the decision, Su Wen immediately decided to set out tomorrow morning and strive to reach the South Plateau City 150 kilometers away before dark.
In fact, if you take a shortcut, it will be almost 150 kilometers from the Grand Valley of Prado to the South Plateau City. The exit of the Grand Valley is actually an isosceles triangle between the town of Sethorres and the South Plateau City. No wonder those slightly powerful caravans would rather take the risk of walking at night than come to the transit station of Sethorres, which is too many detours.
The temperature difference between day and night in the northern plateau is very large, so the coolness after nightfall is like late autumn. Su Wen, who was wearing only single clothes, soon felt a little cold. So after confirming that there was no more information worth caring about in the notice, he set off to walk towards the hotel.
...and then I met the girl in blue hooded that was walking out of the hotel.
Su Wen is not really stupid. After analyzing Liticia's reaction, he soon knew that the latter was talking slander, and therefore inferred that it was probably his improper use of words that caused the girl from the Magician Guild to have a bad impression of him. But for such a character that obviously would not have any intersection, Su Wen would not care too much about how he would be treated by the other party. He just smiled at him a little apologetically and then passed by him.
Back at the temporary desk in the room, Su Wen did not study the black gunpowder he bought from the weapon dealer, but called out the system and browsed today's recommended products.
Su Wen can't remember how many months he has not bought the so-called recommended products. He is in heavy debt and never spends redemption points even if he is interested in those products. However, he still develops the habit of browsing them every day. No, it is because the daily recommended products are often the platform that the system hints to him. From those products that seem to be cheating but are actually very cheating, Su Wen can often summarize the information he needs at present.
"So, what kind of information do the 120mm anti-tank gun recommended to me today, the legendary Star Crown, the M109a self-propelled howitzer, Hephaestus hot staff and heavy electromagnetic armor-piercing crossbow that I hinted to me? Is this price of at least five digits telling me that the poor man is going to be thick? And don't you think the sense of incongruity is too strong when two weapons of different styles are mixed together!"
Although Su Wen did not really say the above because Liticia was nearby, his strange look could not be concealed.
The system's response is not rushing.
“The recommended daily products are randomly selected.”
Su Wen ignored the nonsense of the system. He stared at the self-propelled howitzer on the table that was reduced to a model. He always felt that the system would not hurt so much that he used it to show off his face.
Although there is actually nothing to show off, because in Su Wen's gradually clear memory, the only one of these products from the original world was that two-ton electromagnetic crossbow that weighed slightly had a bit of technological content, and the others were all old antiques that had been eliminated for hundreds of years, and there was no difference between them and scrap iron on the main battlefield.
But combined with their characteristics, Su Wen felt that if he bought them all, he could even use it to fight a positional battle - even those few magical equipment were amplified for large-scale destructive magic. The function of the Crown of Stars is to increase the power of the earth-based six-ring spell "Meteor", while the two staffs enhance the fire-based magic "Flame Sky Fire Rain" and the ice-based magic "Ice Crystal Paradise".
Therefore, if their exaggerated selling prices are ignored, if the system recommends buying these items by itself, then a high probability means that they may be useful.
That is to say...
Recalling the news that the monster appeared not long ago, Su Wen's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he was inexplicably uneasy.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that in a jar on the table, Xiao Shi suddenly shook under the light, and a slight tingling flashed in his mind.
It seemed as if this slime had something to say to him.
If the products recommended by the system were not used as a prelude to pave the way, Su Wen might have thought that Xiao Shi was getting angry about the fact that he hadn't let him take a bath for a week, but he wouldn't think so now. With a faint ominous premonition, he grabbed the jar containing Xiao Shi, got up and took it into the bathroom.
Since there was no bathtub in the hotel, Suwen poured it into a wooden tub full of water.
Just like the night when he found out that his family was robbed, Xiao Shi quickly grew into the water, and then shouted anxiously to Su Wen: "Dad, take your mother away, it's almost over here!"
Sure enough!
