Chapter 14
I stared at the task display window in front of me, took a deep breath, and told myself to stay calm. Since this kind of thing really exists, I must make full use of it.
There is a very special NPC in "Magic Flag", called the Task Manager. Because some of the tasks in "Magic Flag" are very complicated, players may make mistakes accidentally during the task, which makes it impossible to proceed with the task. Therefore, the designers designed a Task Manager NPC, whose function is to initialize the task that the player is halfway through, returning the task to the state when it was just received, so that the player can perform the task again. Except for some special hidden tasks, this NPC can initialize all the common tasks known now.
When I looked at the NPC named "Kaidie", I thought of this special NPC. Since this "Partner Badge" is also an ordinary task, can it be initialized? What will happen after initialization?
I went to the task manager to try to initialize the task. It actually worked. I looked at the space and was shocked. The sacred gem was still there! The system didn't take it back!
I quickly calmed down my excitement. This bug was too obvious. The technical staff of Magic Flag would find it soon. Now it depended on how I could exploit it.
I ran as fast as I could to the novice area outside the city of Ridpath, opened the shouting channel, and yelled at the novice area.
"Brother, we are in urgent need of venomous snake fangs as materials for practicing skills, and we also need to take care of new recruits. We are buying them at a high price, five for one silver coin. You can take as many as you can get. We can sell them under the big tree at the city gate. Act quickly, or you will miss out..."
Normally, a venomous snake fang only costs two magic coins from the item store NPC. Now I am buying it at ten times the price. This is a pie in the sky. Who in the novice area doesn't have a dozen or twenty in their hands? I just shouted twice, and people came like a tide. Within a few minutes, I received hundreds of venomous snake fangs. I felt that it was enough, so I ran back to the inner city quickly and started running between the two NPCs "Kaidi" and the task manager.
In order to save time, I hung up the chip that had not been used for a while and made a "demonstration". A thief began to follow the most direct route, running back and forth between two NPCs, leaving passers-by puzzled.
After I had been "exercising" for more than an hour, players started to come to do this task one after another. Among them were my sister and the fairy cat. They both greeted me when they saw me.
I didn't have time to think about it at the time. I just ran away. My sister was the first to notice something was wrong. She wondered what was wrong with me today? Why was I so crazy? It wasn't until she and the fairy cat also got the sacred gems and looked at the route I was "exercising". After a little thought, she suddenly realized that this guy was brushing gems! There was a bug in this task!
At that moment, the two of them started chopping down venomous snakes, extracting their teeth and brushing for gems without saying a word. Perhaps they were too anxious and did not even think of using acquisitions to accumulate venomous snake teeth, and just relied on themselves to fight.
The others were not fools, and this quest had no level limit. As time went by, more and more people knew about it, and some even informed their own knights. For a while, Reedpass was overcrowded, the poisonous snakes outside the city were almost killed to extinction, and the "Kaidi" NPC in the inner city was even more crowded.
It was impossible for the GM to be unaware of such a large-scale chaos. He knew immediately that there was a problem with the new mission. So, about two hours after I discovered the bug, with a "bang", the "Kadi" turned into a new beauty. As soon as you saw her strange clothes, you could tell it was a GM. The people around were shocked. Seeing the GM appear, even a fool would know that there was no hope, and the crowd immediately scattered.
When I saw the bug was fixed, I immediately logged off. I didn’t know what the official would do, so I ran away first.
Later I heard that Reedpath was bustling all night. There were too many people gathered, and many enemies unfortunately met each other. When they saw each other, they couldn't help but draw their swords on the spot. Many people took the opportunity to call their friends to start a group fight. In addition, many low-level thieves were not afraid of death and stole crazily. The scene was extremely chaotic. I heard from Fairy Cat that she was almost hacked to death. Fortunately, she and her sister found a corner to log off.
The next few days happened to be the day when our company was taking inventory of its warehouse. I was so busy that I didn't play Magic Flag for a few days. During that time, my old classmate Wang Zuo told me about the new gem-brushing thing. Magic Flag officials didn't track down the gems that fell into the hands of players because the gems were too scattered and the workload was too heavy. I laughed for a long time when I saw Wang Zuo sighing that he was unlucky and didn't catch up.
The official of "Magic Flag" finally modified the task of "Partner Badge". This task was included in the special task and could not be initialized. The sacred gem was replaced with a broken level 14 necklace that added nothing.
I didn't count how many I scratched that day, but later I found out that I had exchanged for 103 sacred gems. Unfortunately, my sister saw it at the time, and with her "gentle" smile, I "borrowed" 20 of them at a time.
In a blink of an eye, it is almost the end of the month. A large-scale routine auction will be held in the outer city of Reedpath. Several large alliances will send representatives to participate. Qiangwei unexpectedly received a post from Chunjiang Club, inviting us to participate in the high-end auction hosted by them.
After everyone discussed it, they realized that the price of sacred gems would definitely fall due to this gem bug. Instead of selling the gems directly, it would be better to use the magic weapons without attributes that we have on hand to smash them. If successful, it would not be as simple as doubling the price.
Now, we have three Hot-Blooded Songs, and Big Brother Yun and Qianshan Muxue each have a non-attribute Divine Steel Halberd and Honorary Archery Bow. We took them all out, and after a hit from the sacred gem, Big Brother Yun's Steel Halberd and a Hot-Blooded Song were broken, and we got two Hot-Blooded Songs with strength +1 and physical attack +1, and Qianshan Muxue's bow became an attack speed +1.
Because Taoist priests and archers account for a larger proportion of players than other professions, the prices of Zixia Sword and Honor Bow are relatively high, especially Zixia, which is almost out of stock, which pushes the price of the second-level Qingshuang up very high. The battle flag is a legendary weapon, and no one has really seen it yet. The prices of other magic weapons are average. Those without attributes are around 80,000 or 90,000 gold coins, and those with attributes may be auctioned for around 200,000. The specific situation will depend on the market. If it sells well, we can not only upgrade the village, but also get a few free ones back.
Finally, it was a matter of deciding who would attend. Although the Chunjiang Club was annoying, we had to give them face. My sister was determined not to go, and the Fairy Cat turned her head away. Qianshan Muxue and I raised our hands to indicate that we were busy. Brother Yun and his wife had to take the job with a wry smile. Gao Lin was quite happy to go, and he probably had some good stuff in his hands.
After dealing with the auction, we had to find a way to send all the elf members back, because the elves' "Companion Badge" mission was to be carried out in the elves' main city, Yelding, and a group of people were busy again.
In the past few days after the opening of the pet system, some people in Rose have already obtained pet crystals, and the things that have emerged are really strange, such as roller crabs, prowling leopards, air-flowing swallows and so on. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, there are quite a lot of tricks. I saw Gao Lin stepping on a pedal turtle and sliding around in the village like ice skating.
The pet system of "Magic Flag" stipulates that the basic number of pets an individual can own is two, which can be expanded to five for primary houses, ten for intermediate houses, and thirty for advanced houses. However, in battle, a person can only summon one pet to help at a time.
Pets and pet crystals can be bought and sold freely, but once a pet crystal is transformed into a pet and its owner is changed by transfer, its loyalty will drop to 60%. If it is lower than 60, the pet will run away.
The first pet my sister got was a Fragrance-Attracting Butterfly, a highly sensitive pet that can evolve. Its special skill is to confuse, which can lead enemies away in battle. After reaching level ten, it will automatically evolve. My sister treasures it very much and often presents it to me, which makes me so angry that my teeth itch.
According to pet attributes, pets can be divided into three types: attack, defense and agility. Some pets also have some special skills. The highest level of pets is generally ten. Pets that can evolve will retain their original attribute points after evolution and become level one again. Therefore, the quality of a pet depends not only on whether it has special skills, but also on whether it can evolve.
After working hard for a few days, I still haven't gotten any pet crystals. Seeing that many people have their own "followers", I can't help but feel a little anxious. That afternoon, I decided to take the risk and go to the Qilian Mountains to play. There are fewer people there, so the chance of getting a pet crystal should be greater.
When I passed some places where monsters were too dense, I tried my best to attack the lone ones. After running for a long time, my efforts finally paid off. A giant rhinoceros laid an "egg" for me.
Because I don't know what the pet crystal will be before it is transformed, I looked at the crystal in my hand for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. Never mind, I'll understand after I transform it.
I took out the "partner badge" and pressed it hard on the crystal. A gray smoke rose up. After it dissipated, the huge monster in front of me made me dazed.
Why does my first pet look like this? It's too exaggerated, right?
