Main Volume Chapter 57 End
"impossible!"
"Absolutely not!"
"This ant-like creature can actually turn my shadow into..."
Before he could finish his words, Batya's health was completely emptied by the last round of attacks from the angry sea sharks.
Suddenly, its severed tentacles scattered on the sea, its body was broken and oozing with thick blood, its big scarlet eyes slowly closed, and there was no breath coming out of its nostrils.
"Huh? It's over in seconds? Is there a second stage?" Zhang Yun stared at it. He did not relax his vigilance, but became more cautious.
However, Batya's body fell onto the sea with a bang, splashing waves dozens of meters high, and then turned into stars, flying into the sky against the rainstorm, and all disappeared into the dark night sky, including those body parts torn off by the raging shark.
Now Zhang Yun was sure.
It's dead.
No, it should be said that its shadow died, but nothing happened to Batya's real body.
However, Batya's power to condense the phantom was dispersed by Zhang Yun, and it takes a certain amount of time to replenish it, just like an injured person needs a certain amount of time to recuperate. It's a bit troublesome, plus a little bit of pain...
"Huh, is it finally over?" Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the rain that kept flowing down his forehead, then clicked on the system prompt to check his task progress and task rewards.
First, there were the initial emergency tasks. Except for the lord of the ancient battlefield that Zhang Yun gave up, the last remaining Ajid follower that was not killed, and the basic task of supporting until 12 noon, Zhang Yun completed all other tasks.
In total, he obtained 120 dragon diamonds, 60 pieces of "Phantom Fragments of the Unfavored One", and 30 pieces of "Phantom Fragments of the Jaw of Disease" for making more advanced restraining weapons, as well as 3 resurrection coins, 30 experience crystals, 30 drops of Goddess Water, and 1,500 gold coins.
If Zhang Yun can kill the remaining followers of Ajid later, she can also get 500 gold coins, 20 dragon diamonds, 10 experience crystals, 10 drops of Goddess Water, and 30 "Fragments of the Void of the Unfavored".
By 12 noon, the basic task will be completed naturally, and he will be able to obtain another resurrection coin, a summoning scroll, 100 gold coins and 10 dragon diamonds.
Speaking of which, the remaining guy should still be fighting fiercely with the defenders on the shore. As long as I can find a way to touch it, even if it is finally killed by the defenders, the mission will be considered accomplished.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun immediately called out the white carrier pigeons, and asked the fastest one to carry the six elemental elves and rush to the vicinity of the monster tide and the army that were still fighting fiercely, find the large magic wolf, and use a few skills to catch up with it, and the task would be completed.
If the Akito follower is already dead, then there is nothing you can do. This mission will most likely not be considered completed, and the remaining reward will have to be thrown away...
"But it's enough. After all, there are a lot of extra tasks. The extra dragon diamonds are much more than this Ajid follower. It's worth giving it up for more rewards..."
Zhang Yun comforted herself, and then continued to slide the system prompts to check the rewards for the next few tasks.
Next was the "rescue" mission. Zhang Yun did a great job this time and rescued the fat boss Robert and his men. Zhang Yun herself also got 108 dragon diamonds.
Compared to killing Agito and Agito's followers, this mission not only rewards more dragon diamonds, but is also easier.
I hope there will be more tasks like this in the future...
Amitabha……
As for the fate-choosing mission, it is quite special. Its rewards and punishments are not issued in real time. Instead, have to wait until all the choices for the fate missions of a stage are made before the system will notify you of what benefits you have gained or what unfortunate plot kills have been triggered.
Sometimes there aren’t even any hints. When you advance the plot, any help you get from an NPC, or something the NPC gives you, may be a “reward” for making a choice in a destiny mission.
Similarly, the enemies you encounter and the events you encounter may also be the "punishment" after making the choices in the destiny mission.
For example, Batya summoned by his younger brother Ajid, an epic BOSS phantom, is the consequence of Zhang Yun's choice to save "Lucina".
If Zhang Yun cannot defeat it, then the result will be equivalent to a "punishment", or it can be said to be a plot-based killing.
If Zhang Yun can handle it, then the tasks that come with Batya will be equivalent to Zhang Yun's "reward" for making the right choice.
But this is hard to say, because there will be subsequent events and choices. If Zhang Yun continues to make wrong decisions, then this "reward" may become a "punishment", and the "punishment" for not being able to defeat it may also become a "reward" later.
Both are just representatives of a certain stage, and only at the end can we figure out whether it is a "good choice" or a "bad choice".
In short, the destiny decision mission is such a complicated thing.
That's why all the players in the server need to work together to study and find all kinds of clues...
Zhang Yun ignored it and skipped the two destiny-choosing tasks directly, looking at the task prompt of "Ancient Battlefield BOSS Annihilation Battle".
After reading it, he took a deep breath and sighed, "Yes, this wave is really good. Although summoning Lily is a bit hurtful, if you really calculate it carefully, I will undoubtedly make a lot of money..."
Yes, Zhang Yun said this to comfort himself, but actually speaking, he was also telling the truth.
Because the rewards for killing Batya are very rich, including 100 dragon diamonds, skill scrolls, inheritance scrolls, and some slightly precious materials. Although they cannot be used for the time being, hoarding them will definitely come in handy in the future.
The total value of these things has exceeded the "Dragon Diamond" salary that Lily needs to pay every week, especially the inheritance scroll. It is very rare in the game and cannot be exchanged even with Dragon Diamonds. It can only be obtained through various major activities and special tasks.
At that time, many players even spent a lot of dragon diamonds to buy super items such as resurrection coins and holy spirit pills for a scroll of inheritance, and relied on infinite resurrection and temporary cheats to advance the map. This was because the value represented by the inheritance scroll far exceeded the dragon diamonds and was worth it for those players to spend the diamonds for it.
However, for Zhang Yun, he didn't need to summon Lily to kill this guy.
Now that Lily has been summoned, not only has a wasted a must-win ticket that can be used to choose any permanent five-star hero, but also a certain amount of dragon diamonds have to be spent on Lily's "weekly salary", so naturally I feel a little bit of a loss...
"Forget it, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Don't think too much. Anyway, the Dragon Diamond and the Summoning Scroll have been used up, and there is no way to change them back."
"Let's think about what to do now..."
Zhang Yun sighed and looked at Lily floating in the air, and found that she was also looking at her, with her two little hands behind her back, twisting her body shyly, her smooth and white legs crossed, and her petite body making people want to hug her.
Not to mention, Lily is worthy of being the recognized mascot of the entire game. She looks so cute that it makes people feel pity for her.
But no matter how cute I am, I am a genuine hamster player. I only want dragon diamonds, not human ones!
When I think about the fact that Lily has to consume at least 30 dragon diamonds every week as the price of summoning her, my heart aches... How much time will it take me to save up enough to get it back?
Or just let her go?
Just pay for this week's dragon diamonds?
Zhang Yun thought about it carefully and felt that this was a good idea and she could consider it.
Although he would lose a five-star self-selected ticket and a sea human rights hero, he could save the fixed dragon diamond expenses every week and complete the achievement task of "Hamster King" more quickly.
only……
If there is a need for her in the future...
I have to rub and pull Lily out again...
At that time, you can either spend a limited number of self-selected scrolls to call her out at once, or spend a large number of summoning scrolls to draw her out, and then pay wages to other four- or five-star heroes that were accidentally drawn.
Moreover, he would have to spend a lot of resources to train her up again, and her attack skills would also take time to train, and could not be upgraded directly with props.
What's more, he has already offended Ajid. There's no telling when Batya will come back and summon a new phantom to fight him...
If Lily was still here at that time, he wouldn't have to spend extra materials to recruit new countermeasure followers. She alone could solve the problem...
Well, when I think about it this way, it seems like I would probably be at a loss if I just return Lily to him?
no!
I can't make a decision so hastily!
I still need to go to the library first to learn about this world. After I have determined the general situation of this world, I can decide whether to release Lily or keep her.
After all, if this world has more oceans than continents, and there are still a lot of good things in the sea, then keeping Lily is definitely a sure win...
Moreover, Lily has already been summoned by himself. No matter whether he releases her now or six days later, the number of dragon diamonds she consumed in the first week will not change.
Therefore, I can still keep her for at least six days...
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun raised his hand and took Lily back. The Leviathan controlled by Lily also sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared in the deep ocean where undercurrents were surging.
The heavy rain from the sky also dissipated, the sea surface gradually became calm, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a ray of light, and the sun in the distance slowly rose over the horizon, revealing a red corner.
Only then did Zhang Yun realize that a night had passed and it was now dawn and the sky was about to brighten again.
"Is it morning already?"
"call!"
“It feels like a year has passed in just a few hours!”
“It’s too long!”
Zhang Yun sighed, and suddenly a system prompt popped up, showing that the elemental elves were causing damage to Akito's followers.
He was stunned: "Uh... Is this guy still alive?"
Afterwards, the system prompt popped up again, indicating that Ajid's followers were killed. Zhang Yun completed the last task and got the remaining twenty dragon diamonds.
"?"
"Well……"
"It seems that I am quite lucky..."
"I was able to get all the rewards at the last minute..."
"this time!"
"It's finally over!"
…
After returning to the port, Zhang Yun met Lucina again. At this time, she and Brother Zun were hiding in a warehouse and did not go to find the army that was still exterminating the remaining monsters.
Zhang Yun was very curious, so she asked her, "Why are you hiding here?"
"The army is not far away. Since you are their princess, why don't you go find them directly?"
Lucina stared at Zhang Yun, silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "You are the Oriental man rescued by Robert, Zhang Yun, and he is Micott who was with you, right?"
Zhang Yun: “???”
Lucina continued, "Don't be confused. I, like you, have disguised my identity. With your ability, you should have guessed my identity..."
"Yutiel, the guy you were chatting with."
Zhang Yun: “…”
【New! 】
【A new task has appeared! 】
[Fate Choice Mission————True Identity. 】
[Task Introduction: Lucina is very curious about you. She has probably guessed your true identity, but is not sure. So she wants to hear you admit your true identity in person and find out your background and information. She entrusts you to do something. Are you willing to reveal your true identity to her? ]
[Task objective (optional): Tell her. ]
[Mission objective (optional 2): Don’t tell her.]
[Task reward: unknown. ]
…
no!
What is going on?
Brother Zun didn’t take off his mask either?
How come Lucina recognized my identity?
Zhang Yun looked at Brother Zun and found that he was holding two restrained weapons in his hands, one was his special Barga Blade, and the other was the white sword that he had previously "lent" to Lucina.
After a pause, Zhang Yun recalled what Lucina said on the boat. She said that she had a group of oriental friends, so she was very familiar with oriental culture and could tell other people's occupations and characteristics from certain details. For example, if you look at the unique way Zun Ge holds the knife and fork, you can tell that he often holds the knife...
broken!
This woman must have seen through Brother Zun's habits, and then followed the clues from him, associating them with some of my characteristics and habits, and guessed my identity!
Because Lucina has loved reading and traveling since she was a child, she knows a lot about all kinds of things. In addition, she likes to pay attention to details and observe other people's every move, so it is not an exaggeration for her to guess Zhang Yun's identity. On the contrary, it can be said to be very normal.
After all, when they were on the boat, Lucina had made all kinds of guesses and had a pretty good idea of Zhang Yun's situation...
But even if I guessed it right, what is the nature of this destiny mission? Do I need to tell her my true identity and then cause myself more trouble?
Well……
I seem to have gotten myself into a lot of trouble...
After such a big battle, Ajid must have set his sights on me. They will definitely find ways to kill me, and I will definitely take the initiative to find them for the sake of those waves of dragon diamonds.
In addition, Lucina is the key figure in Ajid and his followers' escape from the ancient battlefield. If he wants to stop these dangerous guys from appearing, he must protect Lucina and prevent her from falling into Ajid's hands.
Otherwise, if we let these monsters get out, who knows what will happen and how it will affect me...
When I think about it this way, it seems like it doesn’t matter if I say it out loud?
So do you want to admit it?
etc!
Let me think about this carefully...
