Chapter 43: Eight Million Dollar Bounty
With nothing to do on the road, Su Xia began to check the rewards for the mission "The Evil Criminals".
The first reward is a card that permanently increases all of his attributes by 1%.
The clone couldn't be used, so it was still teleported to the main body .
At present, the use of this improvement is not obvious, and it feels average after using it, but when various enhancements are added together in the future, the effect will be quite significant.
The second reward was the three-minute full-status card that Su Xia needed most now. This time he only gave him two, which allowed him to barely cope with ordinary dangerous situations.
The third reward, "Metal Blasting", is a skill book.
【Name： Metal Blasting】
[Level: No level]
[Type: Active Skill]
[Description: Make the metal in the designated area explode, causing a certain amount of damage to the enemy. The specific degree of damage depends on personal ability.]
This skill is very compatible with the Alloy Storm that he is currently learning, and even the names are similar.
Su Xia learned it without thinking too much. His clone now had two active skills, greatly improving his ability to survive.
Afterwards, he handed over this body to the bracelet and his consciousness returned to his main body.
In the hot spring room, mist is rising.
Su Xia took out the box containing the medicine and opened it. More than ten colorful medicines suddenly appeared in front of him.
"They are all fourth-level potions."
At a glance, dense instructions instantly occupied Su Xia's vision.
All of these potions were made by my father and are extremely precious. The price of each one would amaze ordinary people.
"Three poisons and their corresponding antidotes, six temporary status enhancement potions, and three healing potions. It seems that Pharmacist Luo prepared them all to protect the town. Unfortunately, he met with misfortune before he could use them."
Su Xia sighed and closed the box.
These potions gave him more confidence against the bugs in the camp.
Not every insect can be as patient as that old guy Xu Yuncang.
Su Xia suspected that there might be other bugs planning to attack him, so he had to be fully prepared.
The spiritual energy of this body has recovered to level 2.7 and is slowly climbing towards level 2.8.
…
Su Xia's suspicion was quite correct.
Outside the hot spring room at this moment, in the shadows.
The bug named "Eri" had dark eyes and stared quietly at the hot spring room, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
The main body continued to soak in the hot spring room, and Su Xia's consciousness returned to the clone in Coral City.
The time came to one o'clock in the morning.
The three of them finally returned to Dad's pharmacy.
"Teacher, we are back."
"Well, it's good to be back."
Dad hadn't rested yet. Wearing a pair of small round glasses, he made a cup of coffee and sat quietly behind the counter.
While in the car, Hong Bafu had already contacted his father and told him about the town.
After hearing the news, the old man's face remained calm. He just drank two more cups of coffee and said to his disciples, "The world is in chaos. Anyone can die. Your choice is correct . Go to bed early. You should be able to see Stone Town on the news tomorrow."
"Yes, teacher, you should also rest early."
The three of them answered in unison.
Dad nodded slightly, then turned and went upstairs.
According to the prior plan, the three apprentices were supposed to rest in Stone Town tonight and return in the morning.
But plans are not as good as changes. It seemed that Dad was waiting for them deliberately. He only went upstairs to rest after they all returned safely.
The pharmacy has two floors, the first floor sells medicines and the second floor is a rest area.
Each apprentice has a separate room, even Su Xia, who has just started, has one.
Dad didn't ask him if he had any other place to live, or even if he had any family, but just allocated a room to him.
This room is not big, but the bed, wardrobe and desk fill up the entire room.
The person in the room to Su Xia’s left is Hong Bafu, and the person in the room to his right is Lan Bafu.
He, the newbie, slept in the middle.
"Brother Su, go to bed early. Tomorrow morning I will tell you what you need to pay attention to when making healing potions." Hong Bafu said, standing at the door of his room.
"Okay, thanks bro."
Su Xia naturally had no intention of sleeping, but she still responded with a few words with a smile on her face.
More than ten minutes later.
The entire pharmacy fell into complete silence; Dad and the two older brothers all fell asleep.
Su Xia could even hear soft snoring coming from the rooms on the left and right.
He slowly opened the window, stepped on the windowsill, and jumped down lightly. Like a nimble monkey, he landed in the alley behind the pharmacy.
"call……"
Su Xia took a few breaths, adjusted her breathing, and then tiptoed out of the alley.
After walking some distance on the street, Su Xia found a public telephone booth.
He took out the pub card and dialed the number on it.
Soon, the call was connected.
Through a brief chat, the other party learned that Su Xia was a newcomer, so he pointed out the location of the tavern to Su Xia.
That place is not far from Dad's pharmacy, nor is it hidden. It looks like an ordinary bar from the outside, but you need to show a special invitation card to enter the real midnight tavern hidden underground.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "If you don't have an invitation card, you only need to prove that you are a psychic creature. You are welcome to join the Zero Point Tavern."
"okay, I get it."
Su Xia hung up the phone.
He was not worried about the other side's conspiracy, because the clone could be resurrected, and this was his biggest advantage.
It’s a pity that the clone cannot be upgraded and can only borrow the power of the main body, otherwise he would be truly invincible.
Su Xia walked into a small alley, put on a metal mask, and then walked in the winding alleys for more than 20 minutes, and finally saw a bar at the end of an alley.
“This is it.”
The old bar sign glowed a dark red.
As she entered the bar, the noisy voices and music drowned out Su Xia's body.
The interior of the bar is very old, and the tables, chairs, lamps, etc. all look tattered.
The air was filled with a mixture of vomit, cheap perfume and alcohol, like a garbage dump that had been fermenting for several days in the summer. It smelled very uncomfortable.
Su Xia walked directly to the bar and showed her card to the waiter.
"Take me underground."
"plz follow me."
The waiter led the way for Su Xia with a smile on his face and was very respectful.
After walking through a long and narrow passage, an elevator appeared in front of Su Xia.
He followed the waiter into the elevator and waited in silence.
The elevator went down to the underground first floor.
“Ding Dong——”
The elevator door slowly opened, and the real Midnight Tavern appeared in front of Su Xia.
It is much quieter here than the bars on the ground, with fresh air and elegant decoration. Light blue is the main color here.
The bar is located near the elevator exit and is surrounded by many soft sofas.
Further inside is a spacious circular hall.
There is a huge screen at the front of the hall.
Many members sat at the bar or on the sofa, drinking and chatting in low voices.
Others stood in the lobby, looking up at the tasks flashing on the big screen.
"welcome."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside me, hoarse and low.
It was Yi Mo, the woman in black robe. She was leaning against the elevator exit with a glass of red wine in her hand.
She smiled calmly: "Friend, I knew you would come."
Su Xia asked: "Why?"
She said, "I smell poverty in you."
Su Xia: “…”
Poverty seemed to be an innate temperament that followed him from the real world into the game.
He couldn't argue, so he asked, "How much money does your business make?"
"My friend, you can go and see the one with the highest bounty." Yi Mo pointed to the hall, "The bounty on that person has accumulated to eight million, and it also comes with two boxes of precious psychic potions. If you can kill him, you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"Whose life is so valuable?"
Su Xia was puzzled. Coral City was just a small place and many people's lives were not worth even a piece of bread.
Thinking this, he walked into the hall.
The ordinary assassination missions on the screen were released in a scrolling manner, but the top ten people with the highest bounties were pinned to the top.
The first name was a name that Su Xia was particularly familiar with.
[North Wind Commander: Level 3 Psychic Creature]
