Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

But after all, it was a transaction, and Taoyao didn't think there was anything to discuss.

waste time.

With this skill, she might as well practice it.

Jiaoyang City is as bustling as usual.

However, apart from Taoyao, there are no other players here.

The beta test player who had already left the Novice Village was taken away by two Qi training disciples of Qingya Sect after passing the talent test that lasted for three days ten days ago.

The public beta players haven't even left the novice village yet.

After all, during the internal beta test, one day outside is equivalent to seven days at most in the game. After the public beta test, the time is unified to 1:2. In addition, you will be pulled into the Lingyou Tower twice a month, and the time in the Lingyou Tower is synchronized with the outside world. As a result, there are many days when you cannot complete tasks and upgrade in the Advent Continent.

But judging by the time, someone will be here soon.

Taoyao changed into fashionable clothes and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

I have no money left. Although I can start fasting during the foundation-building stage, eating is a natural desire and also an instinct.

In short, although she is not starving to death, she still needs to eat.

Not to mention this, she still needs to buy weapons, pills and other things.

But she ran out of money before leaving Landfall Continent.

It is impossible to accept the mission.

We solved the problem of the bat monster causing chaos in the city before, which was a great achievement, but the reward from the City Lord's Mansion has not been issued yet.

Now that the two monks with bad intentions are gone, it is a good opportunity.

It’s just that her outfit was a bit “eye-catching”, attracting people on the street to approach her, which made Tao Yao feel helpless.

That is, those excited people did not lose their minds and come closer.

Even so, she still had some difficulty walking.

After that she simply stopped leaving.

Soon, someone came from behind the crowd, carrying a basket full of eggs. "My benefactor! You are finally back. This is a little gift from our family. Please accept it!"

As soon as the first conspicuous bag was opened, people who had taken things from home started shouting.

"This is dried bacon, it's really delicious, you must try it, benefactor!"

"This is an old hen that my family has raised for five years. The soup made from it is delicious!"

"This……"

They rushed to talk to each other, all with sincere feelings.

Fortunately, the soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion arrived in time and pushed through the crowd to rescue Tao Yao.

"Miss Tao, you have exorcised the demon for Jiaoyang City. The City Lord has been waiting for you for many days. I heard that you have specially sent your subordinates to invite you. I wonder if Miss Tao has time to visit the City Lord's Mansion?"

Tao Yao nodded slightly: "Thank you for leading the way."

The captain of the palace soldiers came with a carriage. When he saw that she agreed, he invited people to get on the carriage directly.

The City Lord's Mansion provided such courteous hospitality that even the two disciples from Qingya Sect who came to help had never enjoyed such hospitality.

It was impossible for the common people to fight with the City Lord’s Mansion for people, so they could only watch helplessly as a group of people escorted the carriage away.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Someone had already reported in advance, so when they got off the car, they saw the City Lord waiting in front of the gate.

Before Tao Yao could say anything, the city lord spoke first: "Miss Tao, your presence is truly an honor to our humble home. Please, come in!"

This enthusiasm does seem exaggerated.

But Taoyao had helped him save Jiaoyang City and his own status and position, so it was only natural for him to be grateful.

Tao Yao followed his extended hand and entered the City Lord's Mansion first, but she spoke directly to the point without any beating around the bush.

"Actually, I'm here to claim my reward. Didn't the City Lord's Mansion offer a reward to the evil monster?"

The city lord was stunned and subconsciously looked at Tao Yao. He found that the other party looked serious and did not seem fake at all. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He treated her so politely. As long as she asked, wouldn't she be able to get whatever she wanted in Jiaoyang City?

So she came here just for that little reward?

After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Yes, it was Miss Tao who helped us to save Jiaoyang City from disaster. The people in the city, including me, are very grateful to you."

Tao Yao's face was calm: "No need to thank me, I just did it for the money."

City Lord: “…”

The butlers and servants behind: "..."

There is no way to chat today!

Tao Yao used to be a businessman and had lived in the Landing Continent for nearly a hundred years. How could she not know what the City Lord wanted her to say?

But she didn't plan to stay in Jiaoyang City, so there was no need to pretend to be nice. Just get the money.

After walking for a while, the city lord waved to the butler behind him.

"Miss Tao, please go inside and have a cup of tea. You helped to kill those two monsters, so you deserve the reward. But you have to wait a moment."

Although he was somewhat speechless about the current situation, he still quite liked the other party's frank attitude.

At the very least, if there is no hope, there will be no expectations.

Tao Yao: "Thank you, City Lord."

In the main reception hall, as the two arrived, the maids had already prepared tea and snacks.

The city lord invited Tao Yao to sit down, and no longer had the idea of ​​asking people to stay: "In fact, before this, the two disciples of Qingya Sect wanted you to go back with them. They said that you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, and you must have a good talent. You can surely become an inner sect disciple."

"Qingya Sect?"

This was the second time Taoyao had heard this name. Most likely, this was the first sect that players could come into contact with after leaving the Novice Village.

The city lord hummed, "The leader of Qingya Sect is a great golden elixir master, and is ranked among the best in the entire Yumeng Realm."

Yumeng Realm is the least famous and most remote place in the entire Landing Continent.

Including Jiaoyang City, there are a total of six cities. In addition to the main city, there are also large and small sects.

She had never thought that one day she would come here.

The Golden Elixir Mighty Power...

In Zhongzhu City, there is no difference between Jindan masters and ordinary people.

"It seems that I don't have this blessing." She said with a smile.

But the city lord had previously invited the help of Qingya Sect's disciples, which meant that he was most likely on the side of Qingya Sect, so she felt a little regretful.

City Lord: "Not really. If you want to go, I can write you a letter of recommendation."

“…No, I have something important to deal with.”

Decline politely.

Seeing this, the city lord said nothing more.

Tao Yao then picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.

Yishan Ziyunluo, good tea.

He is worthy of being the lord of a city.

However, it must have taken a lot of effort to get such good tea.

Tao Yao sipped her tea and couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her face, but it can be seen that she is in a comfortable state.

The tea in the world of immortal cultivation, even if it is not the best, is better than the best tea in Li Country.

Come to think of it, she hadn't had such good tea for a long time.

After a while, the butler came with his men carrying a wooden box. They placed the box in the middle and opened it, then stepped aside.

The city lord pointed to the box and smiled: "Miss Tao, your rewards this time are all here, a total of 200 low-grade spirit stones."

To be honest, Tao Yao was a little surprised when he saw the white spirit stones emitting spiritual energy in the box.

It’s not surprising that there are spirit stones in the City Lord’s Mansion.

After all, he is the lord of a city, holding the power of life and death in the city. He is also a cultivator, but his talent is too low, and he is only a first-level Qi Refiner.

But Jiaoyang City is so big that even if it is located in a remote area, as long as there is spiritual energy, there will always be spiritual mines, although the level will not be too high.

There will be no shortage of spirit stones in the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion in Jiaoyang City, but there will definitely not be too many.

The city lord was able to give her so many spirit stones, which showed that he was sincere.

What Taoyao lacks most is spirit stones.

In addition to the spirit stones, the box also contained some gold, which took all aspects into consideration for her.

She stood up and nodded slightly to the city lord: "Thank you, city lord."

The city lord said: "This is all as it should be. If Miss Tao is not in a hurry, you may stay in the mansion for a while, and I will also do my best to be a good host."

Tao Yao declined: "No, I'm going to be in seclusion recently. Does the City Lord's Mansion have a map?"

The city lord asked the butler to get a map for Tao Yao, and then she put the box of spirit stones and gold into her backpack and left the city lord's mansion.

She looked at the map in silence.

In fact, it is called a map, but it is not complete. Only the locations of the entire Yumeng Realm are marked more clearly, while other areas only have a rough outline and location.

The only thing to blame is that Yumeng Realm is too remote and there are not many strong people. Unless there is an accident, they will not go to other places. What's more, many people can't even leave the city under their feet for their entire lives.

Fortunately, the Abyss where the Central City is located is in the middle of the entire continent, which is much closer than spanning the entire continent.

The most urgent task is to leave Jiaoyang City, the destination...

Her eyes fell on the map and she hesitated.

Well, let’s first find out where the strongest sect in the entire Yumeng Realm is.

After putting the map away, she found a secluded place, took off her outer clothes, and returned to her original outfit.

Two days later, Taoyao left Jiaoyang City.

Destination——Suiyang City.

But the place is quite far away, roughly estimated to be more than 5,000 kilometers away. If she can't fly with a sword and can only rely on a carriage, it's hard to say when she can get there.

However, the number of copies for this month has been used up in advance. There are still twenty days until next month, which means it will take a full forty days to reach the mainland.

It was enough for her to get where she was.

She kept on traveling like this, and except for logging off to eat, stopping to rest at night, and replenishing her spiritual power with spirit stones, she never stopped for a moment.

Finally, forty days later, Taoyao saw the shadowy city not far away. Compared with Jiaoyang City, it was much more majestic and magnificent, and the city wall was twice as high.

There were a lot of people coming and going outside, and the line was very far away. There were also some scattered monks flying with swords on the road.

It's finally here.

The spiritual energy here is obviously richer than that in Jiaoyang City.

Who says Jiaoyang City is so remote?

Didn't she take the trouble to come here just to be able to practice better?

It's just a bit of a pity.

The time has come.

She fell from the sword to the ground, confirmed that there was no one around, and then decisively logged off.

The time is almost up. Tomorrow is the day for Lingyou Tara to gather people. She will log off to eat something and rest for a while before joining the dungeon.

Li Xia also knew that tomorrow was the dungeon time, so she prepared various foods in advance.

I have never participated in the game, so I don’t know how hard it is to be in the game, but Taoyao has been playing the game except for eating meals every day.

This made him worry that she was not getting enough nutrition, so he always tried his best to make delicious food for her to supplement her nutrition.

Normal people need three meals a day!

She is working so hard in the game, how can she not make up for it?

This time, I even had ginseng soup.

While eating, Li Xia told her what had happened during this period.

"Another month has passed. In addition to the sudden surge in the number of players recruited to the game last time, more strange creatures have appeared in the outside world. Not only that, there is also some not-so-good news."

Taoyao: "What?"

"Do you remember the first dungeon guide you wrote?"

"Well, is it related to this?"

Of course Taoyao remembered.

Tingyun Building was the first dungeon she came into contact with during the internal test. It was completely different from the previous purely ancient and weird dungeons. This was a modern dungeon.

So she was a little surprised.

Li Xia nodded seriously, looking very serious: "Yes, it is related to this. Someone encountered such a copy in the building before!"

"Oh?" Tao Yao became interested and looked up at him.

Li Xia knew that she was interested, so she explained the matter in detail.

"Didn't you help get rid of the ghost in that building that had an accident before? Just half a month ago, the building was shrouded in white fog. Fortunately, it was already evening at that time, so not many people were involved."

"But everyone said that they were pulled into the dungeon in Tingyun Building. It is understood that unlike you who need to take a train to the dungeon location, they were directly in the building and received a task to get an excellent evaluation from their superiors."

Li Xia's expression became increasingly heavy.

What does it mean to be able to access copies in real life?

This means that everyone’s life is in danger even if they don’t enter the game, and they also have to guard against being stabbed by those psychologically dark players!

the most important is……

"When something unusual was discovered in the building, the bureau immediately sent people to investigate, but they tried every possible way to get in but still couldn't. When those people completed their mission and left the dungeon, the building returned to normal, and nothing unusual has happened in these days."

He looked at Tao Yao with some emotion.

If it weren’t for the strategy guide written by Taoyao, those people probably wouldn’t have made it out alive!

"Roughly judging from the situation now, the anomalies will completely disappear after the mission is completed. If it is not completed, the result may be different..."

This is just a guess.

Yes, no one would think of guessing in a positive direction, because it is not a good thing in the first place.

Tao Yao had finished her meal by the time she heard his description. Finally, she nodded slightly and said, "Your guess should be correct."

Li Xia thought that the boss would give them some useful suggestions, but the next second she said.

"Okay, I should go rest now."

……

The train station was still pitch black. After Tao Yao had a nap, she came in on her own initiative without waiting for Lingyou Tower to force her to come in.

At the ticket office at the front of the train, she selected a random ticket.

Random tickets are available twice a month, free of charge.

And the one for buying tickets with an exact address is ridiculously expensive.

Whether in the past or now, she would never take the initiative to buy it.

Because it is clearly written above that there are no tasks or rewards for the destinations after purchasing these tickets.

Unless you get good stuff from the dungeon, it will be a huge loss.
