Chapter 25: The Road Blocker
Bing Ning'er was walking towards the outside of the city with a bitter face. What happened in the union just now made her want to strangle the real NPC Hua Wu to death, but it was really weird that she could see Hua Wu at this moment.
No wonder Hua Wu, the real NPC, was so kind to give Bing Ning'er a magic ring. It turned out that it was she who caused Bing Ning'er to draw the worst hidden race. If it weren't for meeting Bai Yi, that old man, Bing Ning'er would probably stay at level 50 forever.
Therefore, that artifact ring was probably given away reluctantly by Hua Wu in order to make up to Bing Ning'er!
After the level issue was resolved, the old man Bai Yi seemed to have forgotten to tell Bing Ning'er one thing. That is, as a special hidden race player, she could not change to a personal favorite profession in the "Job Union" like other players.
Bing Ning'er originally thought that if she wanted to make money quickly, she should switch to a profession with higher attack and faster monster killing. She thought that the profession of mage was more suitable for her. Besides, didn't the old man Bai Yi give her a "wooden staff" that looked very sharp? If she didn't become a mage, wouldn't it be a shame to the staff?
But what she didn't expect was that when Bing Ning'er hurried to the 'Employment Guild' with great excitement, she was directly turned away by the NPC there. The reason was that her race was too rare and they simply didn't have a suitable profession for her.
Bing Ning'er felt that it was really a ghost. Although Hua Wu said that her race was called "Fairy Messenger", what did it have to do with her position? As for choosing a mage, assassin, or warrior, weren't these all free choices for players? Why did the NPC directly ignore her request to "serve" as a mage? He even said something to her in a serious tone, saying that since she was a high-level race, why did she have to go to their "low-level service union" to cause trouble?
What is a low-level employment union?
As Bing Ning'er walked out of the city, she was muttering to herself and complaining, not noticing that Xiao Yin, who was standing on her shoulder, was looking conflicted.
After leaving the main city gate, Bing Ning'er walked while sorting out the things she had done. When she worshipped the old man Bai Yi as her master, he stuffed a thick stack of tattered books into her hand with a mysterious look on his face. Bing Ning'er was in a hurry to leave at that time, so she didn't ask any details. She just listened to the old man talking mysteriously about some secret books.
Bing Ning'er laughed and looked down on the old man Bai Yi. Did he think she was a novel addict? And a secret book, too. So she took the thick stack of books and threw them into her bag without even looking at them.
Now Bing Ning'er herself couldn't change her job, and she didn't seem to have many attack skills, and the attack damage of those skills was not enough to show to others. So when she thought of that pile of old books, she took them all out as a last resort, ready to see if the old man Bai Yi really had something good for her.
When Bing Ning'er took out the tattered books from her bag, a bat standing on her shoulder interrupted her with a sneer, "Which garbage dump did you find these tattered books from?"
Bing Ning glanced at the tattered book in her hand that didn't even have a cover, and the pages were even that old yellow color. If you look closely, you can see that there are small holes here and there on the pages where worms grow. Bat Xiaoyin probably kept his mouth shut when he said that the books in his hands were found in the garbage dump.
But being attacked directly by Xiaoyin, Bing Ning'er was still so angry that her face turned red. She angrily slapped the bat's head on her shoulder and said, "If you don't want me to give you to the big-mouthed fish lady, you'd better shut up."
After saying that, Bing Ning'er ignored the bat on her shoulder that had wings but was always lazy and stood on her shoulder. She now focused all her attention on the yellowed books in her hands, praying in her heart that they were really the treasures given to her by her cheap master, and it would be better if they were some more practical skill books.
When Bing Ning'er was holding a pile of old books and walking out of the city while arguing with her pet, some people who had been guarding the door saw Bing Ning'er leaving the city. Those who were waiting for her to leave suddenly had their eyes lit up, nodded to the people beside them without saying a word , and quietly followed in the direction Bing Ning'er left.
…
At this moment, in a union headquarters in a main city, a man in black with an angry face was looking at the group of people in front of him.
Staring at the thirty or forty people in front of him, the man in black had a face that was almost darker than the bottom of a pot. Seeing the group of people pretending to be dumb, he was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, looking at the group in front of him coldly and yelled: "Do you still have me as your boss in your eyes?"
In front of the thirty-odd people stood a man, or rather two teenagers. They looked only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and when they saw the black-clothed man getting angry, they puckered their lips pitifully. One of the boys, who looked a little bolder, said weakly, "Of course we know you're the boss, otherwise why would we do that to help you get revenge?"
"You... bastard, who asked you to meddle in other people's business?" The man in black stared at the guy in front of him. He actually had the nerve to say that he would help him get revenge. Could he tell everyone about that?
“But if I don’t help you get revenge, then you, boss, were smashed to death in vain? And the seven-colored fruit…” Someone among the group of people standing opposite the man in black muttered in a low voice, only to find that he hadn’t finished speaking yet and his boss’s face seemed to have become even darker, so he quickly shut his mouth, fearing to hurt his boss again.
" Assholes! Go and cancel the bounty on that seven-colored fruit." The man in black was so angry at his men that he was about to die. He accidentally let it slip that he was smashed to death, and they actually made a bounty specifically for collecting the "seven-colored fruit". They also said that they were waiting for the person who smashed him to death to come to their door and sell the seven-colored fruit, and then they could avenge him.
God knows how aggrieved he must have been when he thought about how he died. But these bastards kept talking about their pain.
"But..." But the bounty has already been issued, and many people know about it. Before he could finish this sentence, his boss gave him a murderous look, so he had no choice but to shut up.
Bing Ning'er had just happily put away the secret book in her hand and was about to find a safe place to think about it carefully, when she discovered that something was wrong in front of her.
Looking at the people who were blocking her way and had no intention of moving aside, she frowned and asked in a puzzled tone, "Can I understand that you are trying to stop me?"
