After calming down.
Roger feels that the "Renewal Ticket" has nothing to do with Alice's lucky halo.
All props in the milestone system are preset.
It just happened that at this time his total milestone points exceeded 300 points.
It can only be said to be a coincidence.
"Besides, it's been almost a week. Even if there is a lucky aura, it should have worn off by now."
Just think of this.
Roger couldn't help but recall everything that had happened to him in the past week.
He found that strictly speaking.
The only thing that could be considered lucky for him was that he got the "High Elf Codex" by accident.
As for the attributes of "Evil Crow" and "Lightning Frog", they should be system presets.
"so……"
"What on earth is luck?"
Think of this.
Roger's thoughts wandered for a while.
Vaguely.
He seemed to have caught a very important inspiration.
That mysterious feeling came to my mind again.
…
"Hint: You have entered the state of 'enlightenment'"
…
"Epiphany: You have a deep understanding of the difference and connection between 'luck' and 'fortune'"
…
At that moment.
Streams of information flashed through Roger's mind like lightning across the night sky.
With the help of 'harmony between man and nature'.
He understood!
The so-called "lucky".
In fact, it is just a temporary "little luck".
And "luck".
This is the real "good luck".
Great fortune is accumulated from a continuous stream of small fortunes.
Minor luck will occasionally show its potential within the framework of major luck.
Take Roger, for example.
He possesses the Xiayin module, which allows him to extract various attributes. He is also the leader of the Qingquan Sect and has the power to control the sect. This is his "good fortune".
In the 'great fortune'.
Regardless of whether the attributes of "Evil Crow" are preset, he may encounter monsters with excellent attributes.
The only difference is the length of time.
For him.
The point where Alice's lucky aura takes effect is -
The first evil crow Roger met was a particularly shameless one. He had no intention of attacking it, but it insisted on coming to his door.
This is "little luck".
Think about this.
In fact, even if there is no "little luck".
Sooner or later, Roger will discover the true identity of the evil crow's brother.
Good luck just speeds up this process.
…
Another example is Thompson.
The relationship between his father and the lord of Wushan Town had actually existed objectively .
The childless old lord might have had similar ideas a long time ago.
This is 'luck'.
The luck halo may also have just served as an "accelerator" for Thompson.
Same reason.
The treasure chest on the river beach is also something Thompson is likely to obtain in his life.
It's just that it was 'cashed out' or 'withdrawn' in advance by the aura of luck.
This shows.
Luck is the foundation.
Luck is nothing more than a short-term fortune. A moderate amount of luck is certainly beneficial, but too much of it will damage the foundation.
certainly.
This is not to say that Xiaoyun is useless.
A lot of times.
Small luck can play a lubricating role.
It can bring about changes in your fortune.
It can also change a person's life inadvertently.
The two are complementary to each other.
…
After realizing this.
Roger has a deeper understanding of the process of life development.
Earlier he had been considering whether he should secretly go and sleep with Alice for a few more nights.
But now he no longer has any interest in indulging in women.
The only correct development strategy is to constantly strengthen yourself and accumulate good luck!
Just think of this.
He couldn't help but turn his thoughts to the "Renewal Ticket".
After some quick thinking.
Roger had an idea in his mind.
Although he has many brothers.
But there are actually not many people who are truly suitable for renewing their old relationship.
First, exclude the 100% resistance party represented by the Magic Explosion Frog.
Secondly, exclude types with low marginal benefits, such as fallen sub-angels and harpies.
There aren't many options left.
"Number of quick resurrections" and "lifespan" seem to be the better options, but for Roger now, 60,000 quick resurrections are not a significant improvement over 30,000 quick resurrections.
The same applies to Nine Thousand Years Old.
that's all.
After some screening.
The only attributes left for the final circle are "basic defense value" and "total amount of energy"!
Both of these Rogers are quite greedy.
If the former is filled up again.
He can really wander around.
The latter is the foundation of professions such as martial artists and sword masters.
Of course, the deeper the foundation, the better.
not to mention.
After practicing "refining qi into essence", the increase of qi can also lead to a longer lifespan, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Which one should I choose?"
Roger just hesitated for three seconds.
So the decision was made:
"Of course I want them all!"
“The “Renewal Ticket” is not a one-time item.”
“Although the more you exchange, the more expensive it is, the worst that can happen is that you can just earn more milestones!”
…
After finalizing the alternative attributes.
Roger was not in a hurry to take action.
Before using this item, he had to find at least one monster with garbage attributes and in large numbers.
Ant-like monsters are best.
But considering the density of monsters in Quinan, this is not a particularly easy task.
Compared to Mistra.
The magic abundance on Quinan is low, and the ether distortion does not seem to be obvious.
Therefore, it is near human gathering places.
The number of monsters is far less than that of Mystra.
It is rare to find a place like Wushan Town where there are more than three types of monster settlements nearby.
So Roger cherishes the opportunity here very much.
After closing the data panel.
Roger once again transformed himself into a hard-working pesticide sprayer.
He ran happily among the paddy fields on the farm.
Beside him.
There are groups of enthusiastic lightning frogs.
Thick poisonous fog filled the air.
Large numbers of frogs died silently.
It was still dark that night.
There is no living lightning frog left in the paddy fields near the Kale Farm.
afterwards.
Roger carefully used the "Purification Stone" to weaken the nearby toxins.
At dawn.
He also activated his specialty "Turning Point".
A large number of cumulonimbus clouds were summoned by him.
Not long.
A drizzle began to fall near the farm.
The weakened toxin quickly becomes ineffective when diluted by water vapor.
When the farmers at the kale farm got up, they found nothing but a spring rain.
Seeing this.
Roger left with peace of mind.
…
In the next period of time.
Roger secretly tracked the status of everyone in the Kale Farm.
After ensuring that the diluted toxins really had no effect on these ordinary people.
He then began his large-scale frog hunting.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
He chose a life of hiding during the day and being active at night.
Every night.
He quietly carried the sprayer on his back and came to the farm where the lightning frogs gathered.
Expertly conduct teasing and sending off business.
After that, there is a one-stop service of "corpse collection", "purification" and "raining".
And in this process.
Cindy, who was originally only responsible for the first link, gradually took on the responsibility of the second link.
Because Roger found out.
Cindy's "Purification Stone" has a better detoxification effect!
Almost double the effect!
For the safety of these ordinary people’s lives.
Naturally, the burden on Cindy's shoulders became heavier.
To this.
Roger could only comfort it like this:
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
"Oh, there's good news. You'll have a bigger new home in a few days."
Cindy was stunned at the time and said:
"Is there anything bigger than a tinder bag?"
"Master...you are not kidding, are you?"
Roger coughed.
He silently scanned the evolution progress of the "New Demiplane" on the data column.
Then he said seriously:
“It must be bigger.”
…
So in the next half month.
Roger successfully integrated into the rhythm of life in Fog Mountain Town.
In addition to killing frogs in secret.
During the day.
He would go to Roddick's grocery store on a regular basis to buy things.
He doesn't buy much each time.
But the advantage is that I never bargain.
It's been a long time.
Roddick's liking for him improved a little, and he would occasionally take the initiative to talk to him.
Most of the time, this old man complains about how business is difficult and how risky it is.
But Roger saw that his grocery store was doing a booming business.
So his words obviously meant something else.
When encountering this kind of situation.
Roger didn't point it out, but just said a few sincere words of comfort, and then left without any further ado.
For this kind of old fox who is very suspicious.
Roger is well aware that more haste makes waste.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry to go into the mountains now.
Just lay the foundation of your network first.
Except Roddick.
Roger also established good relations with some other people in the town, including not only Lord Thompson, but also some scattered mercenary groups.
Thanks to the great reputation of the "Buttocks-Splitting Hand".
In the past half month, at least three mercenary groups have invited Roger to join.
Naturally, Roger declined them all.
These mercenary groups were hired at high prices by surrounding forces.
Their purpose is very clear.
They are the three treasures from the sea that flew into the Mist Shadow Mountains.
But the Mist Shadow Mountains are not so easy to enter.
There is no guide.
No proof of entry or exit.
The sentinels of Drovas will use lasers to eliminate all trespassers.
Wushan Town is the only force that can exchange what it has with Drovas.
So in recent days.
More and more unknown people gathered in the town.
But these people maintained a high degree of restraint.
No one dared to use tough measures to disrupt the tranquility of the town.
Roger found out from Alan.
This is because the Lord of Drovas had publicly declared that the area around the Mist Shadow Mountains was his territory.
If someone causes trouble in his territory.
His sentinels would destroy them immediately.
It is said that there was an example of outsiders causing trouble a few years ago.
But soon they turned into a pile of ash.
People who witnessed this incident are very secretive about it.
No one knows what the "Sentinel" looks like.
In short, according to legend, it is an existence that no extraordinary person can match.
therefore.
At least on the surface.
Wushan Town remains peaceful and tranquil.
But Roger could sense that the turbulent undercurrent was becoming increasingly turbulent.
Even he couldn't stay out of it.
In the past half month.
His sixth sense had detected other people's ill will towards him more than once.
The most malicious of all is "Sabernam".
After all, this guy was the victim of the buttock-splitting hand incident.
It's normal to hold a grudge against Roger.
But others were a little strange.
Roger didn't know where he had offended them.
The list of malicious intent compiled by the sixth sense contained some people whose malicious intent towards him was even close to that of Sabernam.
Those people tried to attack him several times.
But Roger avoided them all in advance with his sixth sense.
To this.
He secretly commissioned Allen to conduct an investigation.
Not long.
News came from Allen.
…
"All the names you are investigating are from the same mercenary group, the famous "Wild Fox Mercenary Group" in the Organ Country."
In the cellar at the back of the tavern.
Alan handed Roger a thick stack of papyrus and said seriously:
"The Wild Fox Mercenary Group's nominal registered place is Nansao Island in Jianhai.
But their main areas of activity are in the three southern countries of the Holy Alliance.
There is evidence that they accepted funding from the "Astrology Tower" and have been working for those astrologers.
A few days ago, someone came to the tavern to ask for information about you, and I revealed the most basic part..."
Roger asked curiously:
"Which part did you reveal?"
The Minotaur said honestly:
"Of course it's the well-known butt crack..."
"Okay, thank you, Alan."
Roger interrupted him unexpectedly.
I quickly read through these materials.
Roger actually already had an idea in his mind - these mercenaries might have something to do with the wyvern that night!
"Sure enough, luck comes at a price."
After leaving the cellar.
He glanced at Alice who was sleeping soundly, and suddenly had an idea:
"So what's the price for Thompson and the others?"
Roger always felt that there was more to the story behind the halo of luck.
Alan and Alice.
He couldn't see through any of them.
This is also the reason why he repeatedly deals with the Minotaur.
…
"The logical chain is already obvious..."
"The man from the Astrology Tower discovered the code hidden in the lamb's belly. For some reason, he used the magic of monster control to command a two-legged dragon to steal the lamb, but I accidentally stole it."
"That astrologer must have seen my true identity, so he asked the Wild Fox Mercenary Group, which happened to be on a mission in Wushan Town, to find me..."
After leaving the pub.
Roger sorted his thoughts quickly.
"Hiding from them all day is not a solution. Most astrologers are good at divination. It is not difficult for them to determine my location if they really want to."
"Why……"
"I just want to kill a monster quietly, why is there so much trouble?"
He sighed softly.
I have made up my mind.
…
The next evening.
Roger made a quick appearance in Fog Mountain Town.
Then he walked towards the wasteland northwest of the town.
Ignoring the sixth sense that was swiping the screen crazily and the full malice of the Wild Fox Mercenaries.
In one breath, he arrived at a small raised earthen hill twenty miles away.
Influenced by the Mist Shadow Mountains.
The area around here is all dry and cracked red soil, which is not suitable for planting, so it is sparsely populated.
Roger stood there quietly, waiting.
Not long.
Three dusty figures appeared in his field of vision .
There were more than a dozen knights behind the three men.
They rode good horses.
It is approaching this place at a rapid speed.
Roger knew.
Before they showed up.
There were two thieves following him, but they never showed up.
He was too lazy to pay attention to these people who were hiding their heads and showing their tails, and kept his eyes on the three figures.
on the data bar.
Relevant information emerged bit by bit.
…
"Torik (Supernatural/Barbarian)"
「Occupation: Barbarian Berserker Lv65」
…
"Daisy (Supernatural/Drow)"
"Profession: Drow Warrior Lv50/Dead Eye Warlock Lv20"
"Personality: Death Personality 0.3"
…
"Glenna (supernatural/human)"
"Profession: Mage Lv50/Astrologer Lv16"
…
After a moment.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar.
More than twenty mercenaries from the Wild Fox Mercenary Group riding tall horses surrounded him.
"You knew we were looking for you, yet you dared to come out alone."
"It is worthy of the famous "hip-splitting hand"!"
The barbarian berserker named "Torik" spoke:
"Let's stop talking nonsense. Hand over the things. You will be a friend of our Wild Fox Mercenary Group from now on."
Roger looked past him.
He stayed on the two female mercenaries, Daisy and Glenna, for a while.
In his perception.
These two women are the strongest.
Especially Daisy.
It turns out that this drow sister is a master of both magic and martial arts. She must have practiced the way of the warrior for half her life and suddenly awakened the ability of the "Dead Eye Warlock".
Roger was still a little wary of her.
Different from the relatively law-abiding mages.
Warlocks' abilities are always fancy and fancy, who knows if they have skills like curses.
However, his target tonight is not the Wild Fox Mercenary Group.
So he said in a deep voice:
"I hid the item. Tell your employer so I can deliver it to him personally."
The three of them looked at each other.
The scantily clad Zhuo Er elder sister chuckled and said:
"You're lying."
"Bluffing doesn't work on me... and my employer has given me an ability. I can clearly sense that the thing is on you."
"I'll give you one last chance."
"Friends or enemies?"
In an instant.
All the mercenaries pointed their standard spears at Roger in the center.
Roger sighed softly.
At this moment.
An indifferent voice sounded:
"Friend or foe..."
"You're all unqualified."
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
But on the other side of a small river in the northwest, there stood a beautiful woman wearing a black robe with blue patterns.
Even if there is a distance of hundreds of meters.
They could also hear her voice clearly.
"It's been a while, Mr. Bud..."
"Or maybe you prefer the name Butt Cracker?"
Cecilia asked a little stiffly.
Roger looked at her thoughtfully:
"Are you waiting for me?"
"I have come to find you on the Queen's orders."
Cecilia said awkwardly:
"She...she hopes you don't mind some unpleasant things that happened before."
"I have always had a very pleasant relationship with the Queen."
Roger said.
"That's good……"
"Speaking of which, can I kill these annoying mercenaries?"
Cecilia asked in a rather humble manner.
Before Roger could reply.
The people of the Wild Fox Mercenary Group were in an uproar—
"That woman is from the Sea Serpent Church!"
"Didn't the Sea Serpent Queen's priestess say she would never come ashore?"
"She seems to be very familiar with the butt cracker... She is so arrogant!"
"I'm going to make her eat my spear tonight!"
The mercenaries whispered to each other.
"Shut up."
Daisy snapped.
Then she turned to Cecilia, looked her up and down for a while, and said coldly:
"Isn't the Sea Serpent Church afraid of violating the Practitioner Treaty by interfering in the affairs of the land?"
Cecilia still spoke in a cold tone:
"Won't."
"Because the Queen doesn't need to practice."
"She is already immortal."
Speaking of this.
Her tone suddenly became cautious:
"Besides, Mr. Bud was originally a member of the Sea Serpent Church."
Daisy frowned and looked at Roger.
The priestess's attitude towards Roger made her feel very uneasy!
Roger was still thinking about Cecilia's purpose.
There was suddenly movement on the data column.
