Chapter 7
We all went to the NPC clerk on the first floor to register the item exchange, so that the ownership of the items would be officially transferred after 24 hours.
In "Magic Flag", the right to use items is very free, but the ownership requirements are very strict. Within 24 hours, anyone can use the same item, but when the time is up, the item will automatically return to the owner.
Losing ownership is the real transfer of an item, which can be divided into regular loss and transactional loss. Regular loss means that the owner loses ownership during leveling or PK due to being shot down or stolen by other players or NPCs, etc., which is in accordance with the rules of the game. Transactional loss means losing ownership through fair trading such as trading, exchange and auctioning in the system. The consequences of both are the same, and both will lead to the real transfer of items.
According to this strict principle of ownership, each Knight Order generally appoints several reliable people as Arms Officers, who are responsible for keeping some public important items, such as weapons and armors for new members to level up, etc. Although it is troublesome to ask the Arms Officers for them every time, this can avoid losing the ownership of the items. Even if they are stolen, robbed, or cheated, it will only be for a period of time. Once the statute of limitations is over, the items will be returned to the original owner. Therefore, the selection of Arms Officers is very important, and the most important requirement is loyalty and reliability. For example, the Arms Officers of the Rose Knights are Brother Yun and his wife and me.
Of course, many personal items are voluntarily placed with the Arms Officer, such as personal weapons. God knows when the Arms Officer will be online. If he is not online, you can only watch helplessly. In a sense, the Arms Officer is more like a mobile safe.
After I completed the registration, I also applied for house repairs. It’s a bit expensive, but it shouldn’t turn the door into a hole, right?
Finally, I said goodbye to my sisters and logged off right here.
After taking off my helmet, I looked at my watch. Well, I should pack up and go home. Although this job doesn't pay much, it's really leisurely.
I took out my backpack and put my helmet inside. This is my treasure. I can't bear to leave it at work. Then I checked the electrical appliances, monitoring system, and door locks. OK. I was done. I left. In fact, the job of warehouse manager made me feel more like a senior security guard.
My warehouse is behind the company building, which is quite remote. It is inevitable that there are some "small problems" that are common in dark corners. I usually just walk past them. I am not a saint and I cannot care too much. After all, this place is near the city center and it is unlikely that there will be any serious criminal cases.
My luck was really good today. As soon as I turned out of the door, I saw a "martial arts movie" being performed not far away. It was one against four people, and there was a "female knight" among them.
It can be seen that the heroine has practiced some karate or something, but she is obviously inexperienced. She used her arms and legs to hit four sticks, and I felt so painful for her.
I originally wanted to walk around, but when I looked at the female warrior who was like a sandbag, I sighed and walked over.
When I got nearby, I seized the opportunity and grabbed a yellow-haired guy's hard wooden stick and hit him hard in the stomach with my knee. The yellow-haired guy bent down immediately. I held the snatched stick and turned half sideways to hit the leg of a guy next to me. It might have looked a little painful because the guy screamed miserably.
Two of the four fell instantly, and the other two were stunned. The chivalrous woman, who had been holding back for a long time, seized the opportunity and rudely elbowed one of them in the face. "Bang!" It was so powerful that blood spurted out of his nose. This time the situation was reversed, two against one.
The remaining person finally saw my face clearly, threw away the stick in his hand, shook his hands violently, and shouted: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan Wu, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
"Do you know me?" I squinted at the guy in front of me with three earrings on his ears. I didn't remember this face at all.
"I have met the fifth brother at Brother Zhuang's place, you may not have any impression of him." It's true that I have no impression of him. There were seven brothers hanging out together at the beginning, and I was the fifth. But after I became an "office worker", I gradually faded out of that circle. These ones might be the new brothers under the third brother Zhuang Su.
"What's going on?" Since he was Third Brother's man, I felt embarrassed to attack him. I dropped the stick and asked the "earring" in front of me.
"Oh, it was Big Liu who praised this woman on the road, um, this lady, and as a result, there was a conflict. The brothers didn't know she was Fifth Brother's person, so we're sorry, sorry." Earring pointed at the one next to him who was still bleeding from the nose and explained carefully with a smile.
I roughly knew how to "like" it. This kind of thing was normal for these hooligans. They had already beaten me, so what else could they do? I was too lazy to say anything else, so I waved my hand and let them go.
"Long time no see, seriously. Do you want to say: Thank you for saving me, hero?" The "heroine" - Miss Lin Yuerou looked at me with a smile.
"I don't deserve it, Sister Lin. Remember to avoid going through the door at the back of the building next time." Since someone recognized me, there was no need for me to play dumb.
"I still have to thank you. I would be much more miserable without you. Want to have a cup of coffee together?"
"Forget it, I have something to do. You should go back and apply some medicine. You look like you were stepped on by a lot of elephants." Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar embarrassed face in front of me, I felt confused for no reason. After thinking about it, I decided to refuse the opportunity to get close to the beauty.
"Nonsense, but since you're busy, let's do it another day." Lin Yuerou probably didn't expect me to refuse, and she hurriedly tidied up her appearance to hide her embarrassment.
"Okay, go home quickly." I quickly turned around and walked out. I was afraid that I would change my mind if I stayed any longer.
"That's right." I turned around and walked a dozen steps before suddenly stopping.
"Um?"
"Since you haven't practiced the Golden Bell Cover or anything like that, remember to pick up a brick next time you get into a fight."
"fool."
Before I could even sit down at home, my third brother Zhuangsu called me.
"Brother, did some of my brothers offend your girlfriend a while ago? I've already given them a good beating, sorry!"
"It's okay, that's not my girlfriend, she's my colleague. Strictly speaking, she's my boss." I rubbed my eyebrows, expecting this kind of trouble.
"Really...? I don't know you, kid. Would you help if you don't mind? Tell your brother, and let your brother take a look at what your future sister-in-law looks like and see if she is worthy of my brother." Zhuang Su's weird voice came from the phone.
"Damn, when did you become such a nagging person? Let me tell you, you know her, she's Lin Daiyu who moved away when she was a child." I felt uncomfortable again, and I told these childhood friends about my encounter with Lin Yuerou.
"Brother, take things easy. No one can do anything about the past. If you really like her, just go for it and don't think too much." There was silence on the phone at first, and then the third brother spoke in a serious tone.
"What are you thinking about? There are so many things, don't talk nonsense. I'll go drink with you that day." I wanted to end this topic quickly. I deliberately didn't think about the meaning of the third brother's words.
"You're going to die, you're still drinking? You're a crazy drunkard, you even dare to fight the cops. Have you forgotten that we stayed in the police station with you for a whole night last time? If your dad wasn't their director, you would have been skinned alive, damn it!" The third brother smartly understood that I didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the subject and started talking about some miscellaneous things.
After dinner, I lay in bed and thought about Lin Yuerou again. Yes, I admit that I like her a little, but now when I think of that scene, my heart is blocked. The more I think about it, the more confused I become. But once the idea comes up, it is not so easy to stop. There is no other way, I will go to "Magic Flag".
This time I appeared from under the street light at the door of my house. Maybe my sister was too happy that she got Zixia, so she changed my application for repair into upgrade. Now a group of NPCs are building a house with clanging sounds. I am finally going to transition from a wooden house to a brick house, and live a well-off life. A bigger house can hold more things, and with enough funds I can apply to open a small shop.
System upgrades are not only expensive but also slow, far less economical and fast than those done by players with architect skills. However, architect is an advanced life skill, and the learning process is too complicated. First, you must become a master-level woodcutter and miner, then advance to carpenter and blacksmith, and then train master level, and find the job transfer item "rare blueprint", and then you can advance to architect. The whole process is not only troublesome and boring, but also takes a lot of time. Even if I use that chip, I have just advanced to carpenter and blacksmith, and I am still far from the master level. However, I did get a copy of the "rare blueprint", which was obtained from a level 65 mad demon leader. This thing is quite precious, but it is worthless now.
I watched for a while and it seemed that I would not be able to use it today, so I felt bored and decided to walk around.
After inspecting the minefield first, I felt that this was becoming more and more like my job as a warehouse manager, a security guard.
We were repairing a minefield when suddenly there was a flash of light in the internal channel. A team member named Crying Jasmine was urgently asking for help, saying that she was the target of a malicious PK.
After I changed the attack mode, I immediately headed straight for that coordinate. My sister and Brother Yun didn't seem to be online now, and I, as a senior member, was the closest to them.
After a while, I saw the member who called out. She was a young Taoist priest of level 21, who was retreating while hitting a red-named knight who was chasing behind her with the level 20 Demon Slayer Red Maple Sword. The reason why I knew it was a knight was because he was repeatedly using the level 20 knight skill Iron Wall to strengthen his defense. The deep red name meant that his seniority value was very low, and he would not do this unless he killed a dozen people.
I habitually cast an identification spell on the knight behind Crybaby Jasmine, huh? I was surprised to find that the information given was in English. My English has always been poor, so I couldn't understand it at all, but the same format still let me know that this knight named Faca, who was very popular, was level 30. At the moment, I didn't think about what was going on. How could he be so popular with only a level 30 qualification value? I'll fight first, fists are the hard truth.
I cast a fierce poison spell, then a sneak attack spell, and raised my hand to shoot with an assassination crossbow. At first, the knight didn't care much because he thought I was a thief, but when he saw that I cast a fierce poison spell, he was frightened and just as he was about to dodge, my attack had already arrived.
The four points of luck added by the two rings on me showed their power at this time. The sneak attack, which usually had a low hit rate, was successful this time, causing the knight to lose one-third of his health in an instant. Then he was turned dark green from head to toe by the poison spell, and blood representing poisoning and continuous damage continued to flow out of his body. I began to circle around him, shooting at him slowly with the crossbow in my hand.
After being poisoned, this red and green "camouflage" knight didn't care about using the iron wall, and began to desperately detoxify with the purification technique that the knight could learn at level 8. At the same time, a series of "bird language" came out of his mouth.
Shit! Are you kidding me? Are you bullying me because I can't understand "bird language"? I flipped my hand and directly showed the Dragon Fang Royal Blade. I originally just wanted to teach him a lesson and then give him some time to ask the reason, but now I was ready to kill him directly.
When the knight saw the Dragonfang Blade, his eyes almost popped out and he turned and ran. He didn't have time to use purification to detoxify, so he could only pour potions on his body as quickly as possible. It seemed that he didn't want to experience what it would feel like to be attacked by a high-level thief who could use a poisonous weapon at close range.
Although he was running very hard, the speed difference was too big. I quickly caught up with him. Just when I was about to hit him, suddenly, with a "bang", the knight disappeared out of thin air!
