Chapter 341: The Shadow Beyond Time
This! This! This! Xia Yu was surprised and happy when he looked at the cards in his hand.
Although they are all purple cards, the quality I drew this time was incomparable to the quality of the Black Hand Special Forces. It was simply from heaven and from underground.
This is a Phoenix fighter, a Star Spirit Technology that can fly into the sky and into the earth.
If this is manifested and you can drive it yourself, wouldn’t you go anywhere in the solar system?
I just don’t know which Phoenix fighter is in the story background or which one in the game. There is still a big difference between the two.
You should know that even a Phoenix fighter can be rushed by a group of machine gunners in the game. It is better not to be happy too early. When you have the chance to realize it, you will see the specific performance.
Xia Yu was determined to use this card in reality. Such a good thing is too luxurious to be a consumable in the game world.
Xia Yu loaded all the cards he drew into the watch for easy use. He turned around and gave up his seat, and was immediately occupied by the prodigal son.
Chuxue said excitedly: "Wow, Zika, what did you draw, traveler?"
Xia Yu smiled but did not answer. This Phoenix fighter was a bit sensitive, and he was not sure whether this thing was convenient for others to know.
The prodigal son only earned 10 raw stones this time, but saved 30 raw stones in the last game, so he got four draws.
Four shots came down, three white and one blue, which was very consistent with the general rules. Judging from the prodigal expression, I seemed quite satisfied.
Next was the leader. The leader hesitated for a while, but he still didn't draw in the end. He probably wanted to save enough 50 and exchange it for the purple card directly.
Next is Black Cat. Black Cat has equally average luck, two white and one blue, but looking at her excited expression, it seems that the cards she draws are of good quality.
The card draw will be over soon.
Seeing everyone leaving one by one, Xia Yu did not leave. He still remembered to help Wang Li do things.
When everyone left, Xia Yu came to Wang Li.
"Homeowner, about the task you want me to do..."
"The task I want you to do is very simple. I want you to help me get a book back."
A book? Xia Yu couldn't help but become curious. What book is so important, and he specially arranged a task for himself? Could it be that martial arts secrets, magic books, etc.?
"Do you know Lovecraft?"
Xia Yu nodded, "Of course I know, the author of Cthulhu mythology is so well-known."
"Lofcraft wrote many works during his lifetime. His last work was a work called "Beyond the Shadow of Time". Like most of his works, this book was compiled and published by his friend August after Lovecraft's death.
However, what is unknown to most people is that there are two previous and second works of Shadow of Time. August only published the upper part, and the lower part, according to the last words left by Lovecraft before his death, this book will never be displayed in the eyes of the world.
August faithfully completed the instructions of his friend. In the decades after Lovecraft's death, the lower part beyond the shadow of time was speechless and almost unknown.
However, not long ago, I received a news that the original 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 very difficult, isn’t it just a book?
Even if you have money, you can buy it directly, but the original manuscripts sold at this kind of auction must be very valuable, right?
Although Lovecraft is not a mainstream writer, he is also a celebrity of his generation. He must have what his loyal fans want to get his original manuscript.
"Homeowner, if I buy it for money, can I reimburse it?"
Wang Li couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "This is not reimbursed. This is the task I assigned you. If it is reimbursed, who should have completed the task? In short, it's right for you to get it back. If you do this, you won't owe me anything anymore."
Xia Yu couldn't help but have a headache. At first glance, this matter seemed nothing, just to buy a book, but he always felt that it would not be that simple. The book Wang Li wanted to get must have something to say, and since there was something to say about this thing, then there would be no one to grab it.
Since you can get it at the auction, it will definitely cost a lot of money. I don’t know if my little property is enough.
Besides, I have never been abroad, so it is a troublesome to go through the procedures for going abroad. However, he dare not refuse the task of the homeowner. When he encounters trouble, he can only find a way to solve it. If it really doesn't work, he can simply drive the Phoenix fighter jet. As long as he finds a place, he can sneak in and get Jiuzhou."
"I understand, I will complete the task." Xia Yu said and asked about the time and location of the auction, and turned around and was about to leave.
Wang Li suddenly said, "Oh by the way, after getting that manuscript, I personally recommend that you not read the contents in it."
Xia Yu paused slightly and hesitated: "Homeowner, don't you want me to read that book? Is it because it will cause any bad effects?"
"No, whether you read that book or not has any effect on me, but it is not certain to you. Sometimes knowing too much will bring unpredictable risks. In many cases, ignorance is also an effective means of self-protection. Of course, if you are willing to take this risk, it doesn't matter if you read it. Now you have some ability to resist risks, and maybe you can still see it for a long time."
Wang Li's words made Xia Yu a little confused. Xia Yu nodded and walked out in a complicated mood. When he arrived at the door, he unexpectedly saw the leader turning back.
"Hey, why are you back, Master?"
"I have something to tell the owner." The leader didn't say much, and the two of them troubled by.
When Wang Li saw the leader, he smiled slightly, "Master, you are back."
"Homeowner, I came back to remind you that although this gentleman is not successful enough, he is definitely more than defeated. According to my understanding, he is definitely not a person who is willing to die, and may cause some trouble."
Wang Li smiled slightly: "I understand, is there anything else?"
Seeing Wang Li looking calm and gentle, the leader shook his head helplessly, "It's okay." After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Xia Yu arrived on the second floor, he saw everyone talking about something around the dragon cavalry.
Seeing him walking down, Chuxue shouted loudly, "Traveler, the dragon rider is going to retreat! Come and persuade him."
"I already know - what are you trying to persuade me? I think it's a good thing to quit the tour, otherwise I can't play for the rest of my life."
"But-but!" Kusuki looked annoyed, but he didn't know how to express his inner thoughts.
Unlike the lonely wolf players like gentlemen, everyone is more or less reluctant to leave the dragon rider.
Especially a few old players, Ergouzi said: "You kid are leaving now? Why are you so anxious? Just have a few more games, and you haven't got any particularly good cards."
The dragon cavalry shook his head, "It's time to stop. People's desires are endless. Keep playing. I don't know how to die one day. Have you heard that? Nine out of ten bets will lose, so what if you win 10 times? As long as you lose once, you may be finished playing. Besides, the abilities I have obtained are already good, enough to make a name for myself in the world for the rest of my life. I don't have much ambitions. Just be a master and have some social status."
The overlord said regretfully, "Oh, there are not many real people in this game now. They are all old and innocent. How can I live like this stupid and sweet person?"
The dragon cavalry smiled and said, "Silly Bai Tian? Are you not ashamed of saying this to yourself?"
"In short, I'll be a master. If you need to see a doctor in the future, you can get rid of mantras and other things. Just come to me. Let's go, Ergouzi, don't eat it. Your nightmare will begin in a while. Hurry up and find a place to prepare for the tribulation."
