The weird game of the ancient gods

this! this! this! Xia Yu looked at the card in his hand, feeling surprised and happy.

Although they are all purple cards, the quality of the one I drew this time is completely incomparable with the one from Black Hand Special Forces. It is simply as good as heaven and earth.

This is the Phoenix fighter, a protoss technology that can fly into the sky and into the earth.

If this were to materialize, wouldn't it be possible to drive it anywhere in the solar system?

I just don’t know which Phoenix fighter is from the background of the story or which one is in the game. There is still a big difference between the two.

You must know that in the game, not to mention the Phoenix fighter, even a battle cruiser can be suddenly defeated by a group of machine gunners. It is better not to be happy too early. Wait until you have the opportunity to materialize it and see the specific performance.

Xia Yu was determined to use this card in reality. Such a good thing would be too luxurious to use as a consumable in the game world.

Xia Yu loaded all the drawn cards into his watch for easy use, turned around and gave up his seat, which was immediately occupied by the prodigal son.

Fubuki said excitedly: "Wow, Zika, what did you draw, Traveler?"

Xia Yu smiled, but did not answer. This Phoenix fighter is a bit sensitive, and Tai is not sure whether it is convenient for others to know.

The prodigal son only made 10 rough stones this time, but he saved 30 rough stones in the last game, so he had four draws.

After four shots, three white and one blue, it is in line with the general rules. Judging from the expression of the prodigal son, he seems to be quite satisfied.

Next is the leader. The leader hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't draw. He probably wanted to save up 50 and redeem it directly for the purple card.

Next is Black Cat. Black Cat's luck is also average, with two white cards and one blue card. However, judging from her excited expression, it seems that the cards she drew are of good quality.

The card drawing will be over soon.

Watching everyone leave one by one, Xia Yu did not leave. He still remembered to help Wang Li.

After everyone left, Xia Yu came to Wang Li.

"Householder, regarding the task you asked me to do..."

"The task I want you to do is very simple. I want you to get a book for me."

a book? Xia Yu couldn't help but become curious, why was this book so important that he even specially arranged a task for himself? Is it some kind of martial arts secret book, magic book or something like that?

"Do you know Lovecraft?"

Xia Yu nodded, "Of course I know, the author of the Cthulhu Mythos is so thunderous."

"Lovecraft wrote many works during his lifetime. His last work was a work called "The Shadow Beyond Time". This book, like most of his works, was written in Lovecraft. It was compiled and published by his friend Auguste after his death.

However, what most people don’t know is that The Shadow Beyond Time has two parts. August only published the first part, and the second part, according to Lovecraft’s last words before his death, this book will never be shown to the eyes of the world.

August faithfully fulfilled his friend's instructions, and in the decades after Lovecraft's death, the lower part of the Shadow Beyond Time remained silent and almost unknown.

However, not long ago, I received news that the manuscript of this book will be auctioned at an auction in New York next Monday. I want you to get this thing for me, no matter what method you use. "

Xia Yuxin said that this task is not difficult to say, it is just to get a book.

Even if you have money, you can just buy it back, but the original manuscripts auctioned at this kind of auction must be very valuable, right?

Although Lovecraft is not a mainstream writer, he is still a generational celebrity, and his original manuscripts will surely be wanted by die-hard fans.

"Householder, if I spend money to buy it back, can I be reimbursed?"

Wang Li couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "This can't be reimbursed. This is the task I gave you. If it is reimbursed, who should be credited with completing the task? In short, just get it back to me. Do it." If you do this well, you won't owe me anything anymore."

Xia Yu couldn't help but have a headache. At first glance, it seemed like nothing, just buying a book, but he always felt that it wasn't that simple. The book Wang Li wanted to get must have something to say, and since If there is a saying about this thing, then you cannot be prepared for someone to snatch it.

Since it can be sold at auction, it must cost a lot of money, and I don’t know if my little wealth is enough.

Besides, he has never been abroad before, so it is a troublesome thing to go through the formalities for going abroad. However, he does not dare to refuse the task of being a homeowner. If he encounters trouble, he can only find a way to solve it. If it is not possible, he can just fly the Phoenix fighter. Go, as long as you find a place, you can sneak in and get it and then leave. "

"Understood, I will complete the task." Xia Yu said and asked about the time and place of the auction, then turned and was about to leave.

Wang Li suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, after getting the manuscript, I personally recommend that you don't read the contents."

Xia Yu paused slightly and said hesitantly: "Householder, you don't want me to read that book? Is it because it will have any bad influence?"

"No, whether you read that book or not has no influence on me, but it may not necessarily affect you. Sometimes knowing too much can bring unpredictable risks. In many cases, ignorance is also a kind of self-consciousness. It’s an effective means of protection. Of course, if you are willing to take the risk, it doesn’t matter. You now have a certain ability to resist risks, and maybe you can learn a lot.”

Wang Li's words made Xia Yu a little confused. Xia Yu nodded and walked out with a complicated mood. When he arrived at the door, he was surprised to see the leader turning back.

"Hey, leader, why are you back?"

"I have something to tell the landlord." The leader didn't say much as the two of them walked past each other.

Wang Li saw the leader and smiled slightly, "Master, you are back."

"Householder, I came back to remind you that although this guy, Gentleman, has not accomplished much, he is definitely more than capable of failing. According to my understanding, he is definitely not a person who is willing to die, and he may cause some trouble."

Wang Li smiled slightly: "I understand, is there anything else?"

Seeing Wang Li's calm look, the leader shook his head helplessly, "It's okay." After saying that, he turned around and left.

When Xia Yu came to the second floor, he saw everyone gathered around Longqi and chatting about something.

Seeing him walking down, Chuiyue shouted loudly, "Traveler, the Dragon Rider is about to retreat! Come and persuade him."

"I already know - what are you trying to persuade me to do? I think quitting the game is a good thing, otherwise I won't be able to play for the rest of my life."

"But - but!" Fubuki looked annoyed, but didn't know how to express her inner thoughts.

Unlike the lone wolf player like the gentleman, everyone was more or less reluctant to leave Longqi.

Especially for some old players, Ergouzi said: "You guys are leaving now? Why are you in such a hurry? After a few more rounds, you haven't gotten any particularly good cards."

Long Qi shook his head, "It's time to stop. People's desires are endless. Keep playing. You don't know how you will die one day. Haven't you heard that saying? Nine times out of ten you will lose, but you will win." So what if it’s 10 times? As long as I lose once, I’m probably done. Besides, the abilities I’ve gained are pretty good, enough for me to make a name for myself in the world for the rest of my life. I don’t have much ambition. Being a master is a bit social. Just status is enough.”

The Overlord said regretfully, "Well, now that you're gone, there won't be many real people in this game. They're all old bastards. How can I, a silly, sweet, upright boy like me, live?"

Longqi smiled and said: "Silly Baitian? You, a big man, talk about yourself like this, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Anyway, goodbye everyone, I'm going to be a master. If you need to see a doctor or solve a curse, just come to me. Come on, Ergouzi, don't eat. Your nightmare will start in a while. Hurry up and find a place to prepare for the disaster."

After speaking, he bowed his hands to several people, turned around and left with Er Gouzi.
