Chapter 27: How to Kill Zhao Si
There are quite a lot of side jobs in the game "Look Up at the Stars".
Professional miners, armorers, mechanics, pharmacists, breeding masters, etc.
Three hundred and sixty lines.
Anything that can make money has been made into a side job by gaming companies.
Even if you are just a cook, you can become a master chef in the later stages and make delicious dishes that can replenish your blood.
However, the game's official website only gave the name of the secondary profession, without mentioning any specific requirements or how to have a secondary profession. It all depends on players' own guessing based on various rumors.
“Selling medicine should be the most profitable.”
Su Xia thought of the pharmacy owned by old man Xu Yuncang in the Oasis Camp.
Pharmacists not only make money, but also earn a good reputation.
It’s similar to another secondary profession, “Doctor”.
Of course, these two secondary professions have different focuses. Pharmacists are more like those weird alchemists in the Middle Ages, using all kinds of strange things to mix potions, while doctors are more modern.
"Brother Su, you want to sell medicine?" asked his roommate Li Defu. "Then you can only become a pharmacist."
"Yes, that's what I thought."
"We saw several pharmacies on the road just now and asked them all, but the owners said we were not qualified."
In the game, if an NPC says that you are not qualified or not strong enough, it probably means that you have not yet met the conditions to trigger the plot.
But Su Xia knew that this world was very real and could not be viewed with common sense.
Director Yuwen Shuxue said: "It's not just pharmacists. I just checked the forum and found that other professions have also been asked about this. Almost all of them cannot meet the requirements. Currently, only a few professions such as miners and lumberjacks can directly find NPCs to work for them. After they are employed, they will have the 'apprentice' sign."
These guys are indeed professional game geeks. They can kill monsters and browse forums at the same time.
And Su Xia completely wasted an hour in the orphanage.
"Do you know which is the best pharmacy in Coral City?"
"From what I can see, it should be 'Daddy's Pharmacy.'" Li Defu sent Su Xia a rough map. "In the southwest area of Coral City where we were born, this pharmacy has the best reputation and the highest popularity. Many NPCs know about 'Daddy', but the requirements for becoming a disciple of this pharmacy are also the most stringent."
"any request?"
"You must provide a precious potion formula that interests the shop owner, and then you will have a chance to be accepted as his apprentice."
This requirement is indeed harsh. Where do players get potion recipes at this stage?
The shop owner is an old man with a very strange temper.
Many players have tried to go to that pharmacy, but were all kicked out by the boss, and no one was able to change jobs to pharmacist.
"Brother Su, don't waste your time. You can learn the pharmacist profession later. Come and fight monsters with us now!" Yu Wenshuxue sent Su Xia a location message. "If you don't want to fight monsters, you can also find the person in charge of the mine here, work as a miner, and then go down to mine. If you are lucky, you can dig out some precious things."
"Well, I'll go check it out first and come back later."
Su Xia temporarily declined the kindness of several roommates.
According to the map sent by Li Defu, Su Xia walked along the edge of the road towards the "Dad's Pharmacy" marked on the map.
Along the way, you can see many players who have just entered the game, as well as a large number of poor refugees.
The scale of Coral City is similar to that of a third-tier city in the real world, but looking around, the sky and the earth are all gray, with ruins everywhere and broken walls. Fragments of brick floors can be seen everywhere, many buildings have tilted or collapsed, the buildings are covered with creepy craters, and the roads are full of large and small shell holes.
The war turned many areas of the city into ruins. There were many ragged children playing in the ruins. The cold wreckage of planes and tanks became places for fun, while adults lamented in temporary shelters.
All this easily reminds people of a certain country in the Middle East in reality.
The main theme of the first stage of the game seems to be "reconstruction", and many players have received the task of rebuilding the city.
Dad's pharmacy is located on a relatively clean street.
This place was not affected much by the artillery shells, and most of the surrounding houses are normal.
When Su Xia saw the pharmacy sign, there was a player standing at the door of the pharmacy, trying to get a job as a pharmacist.
The player said loudly: "Boss, I want to be a pharmacist apprentice!"
A cold voice came from the shop: "Go get a potion formula, and dad will consider letting you become an apprentice."
Player: "Only by becoming a pharmacist apprentice can I possibly get the recipe!"
Voice from the shop: "Then you can become an apprentice."
Player: "But I need the recipe to become an apprentice!"
"Then go get the recipe!"
“…”
The player walked away cursing.
Su Xia's heart moved slightly, and she didn't go over and make herself unhappy.
…
In the dormitory, Su Xia put down the mouse and stopped paying attention to the small account on the screen. Instead, she activated the time-travel function of the bracelet.
Su Xia felt a tingling electric sensation, and her eyes went dark. She leaned forward and fell on the desk on the bed.
This current feels more and more comfortable...
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the hot spring room of the Oasis Camp.
The room was very quiet and the spring water was still as warm as before.
Su Xia asked: "Brother outside the door, has anyone ?"
"No, but... Mr. Xu passed by a few times, and every time he passed by, he seemed to look at us intentionally or unintentionally."
"Ah That's good."
Su Xia rubbed his eyebrows, and the sense of crisis became stronger and stronger.
Old guy Xu Yuncang can’t wait to eat him?
"Commander, there are some strange people in the camp, do you want to come out and take a look?"
"Okay, I'll be out in a minute."
The strange people are naturally the players.
Players can cause a lot of problems in Oasis Camp.
Su Xia was about to get up, but a message suddenly popped up in front of her.
[It is detected that you have another body in Coral City. The connection has been established. Do you want to immediately identify the main body and the clone? ]
What does it mean?
Su Xia clicked OK and got the detailed information.
His two bodies are now real in the game world. He must determine which is the main body and which is the clone. Once he has determined it, he can control both bodies at the same time.
But only the main body can be upgraded, the clone cannot. The clone can only share the strength of the main body.
The current default main body is the commander identity.
"The clone can't be upgraded? What kind of weird restriction is this?"
Su Xia was planning to find a way to give the low-level psychic potion to the trumpet, but now he got a prompt that the trumpet could not be upgraded.
Not only the psychic power level, but also the titanium particle level cannot be upgraded.
He continued to browse the detailed information and finally understood the reason.
"Since this body of mine is an NPC template, I can issue tasks to players. If I want, I can directly send tasks to my trumpet and quickly cultivate countless high-level trumpets, which will destroy the balance of the game. Therefore, the system has restricted my trumpet and it cannot be upgraded..."
Okay, that sounds like it makes sense.
But it's a bit frustrating.
The only good news is that Xiaohao can borrow the power of this body at any time.
"The trumpet can borrow strength, so..."
Su Xia raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of a good way to kill Zhao Si.
