Chapter 431 The Bearded Guest

Lu Yao clicked to buy and got the prototype of the Yellow Turban Lux.

 Faith -19.9 million, with a balance of 10.11 million.

 A golden puppet icon appears at the top of the [Item Bar].

Lu Yao clicks with the mouse.

 A character interface appears on the screen.

 In the middle is a person with a vague face.

On the left side of this faceless man, from top to bottom are [race] and [attribute], and on the right side are [face shape] and [body shape].

 Lu Yao first clicked [Race] and found that a long list could be pulled up. From the earliest humans of the Yao tribe to the newly added vampires, werewolves and abyss wanderers...you can choose from them all.

If he wanted to, he could even make the Yellow Turbans look like a cactus, a rabbit, or a tricolor.

 In the end, Lu Yao chose the common [Yao human being].

He fiddled with the face shape and shaped Huang Jia into a bearded man, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, a tall man and a big horse. The clothes were the corresponding ordinary coarse cloth shorts and trousers. He looked like an ordinary macho man.

 Huang Jia also has his own camouflage panel attributes, which can be randomly generated. Lu Yao chose a panel data that is slightly higher than ordinary people.

 After finishing pinching his face, he clicked [Various Appearances] to confirm.

So Huang Jia became a bearded guest, looking like a heroic man wandering in the green forest.

 After pinching and shaping the face, the next step is to get started.

Lu Yao placed the Yellow Turban Warriors outside Yao City, and then he discovered a small problem.

 The yellow armor level has become LV99.

 Except for the fact that the speed remains unchanged, health, mana, damage and defense shaping have all been weakened by about 50%. Fortunately, the abilities and characteristics remain unchanged.

Even so, Huang Jia's combat power is unparalleled in the world of the Yao people.

 This is the restriction of the crawling zone. The upper limit of the life level of all in the crawling zone is LV99. Even if it is far beyond this peak, it will be sealed and weakened.

Lu Yao clicked [God Acts on behalf].

After a brief trance, the world once again became a left and right split screen in front of my eyes.

Having experienced it last time, this time Lu Yao leaned on the bed and quickly dived into the virtual world.

 …

Different from the gray abyss, the visibility of the Yao world is much higher.

There was snow in the sky, and the cold winter wind blew on his body, giving Lu Yao a clear cold and tingling feeling.

 The puppets produced by Taiyi Zhenren are indeed worth the money. They retain the original keen sense of body, but the fleeting stimulation does not affect the continuous experience.

 Lu Yao raised his head and saw the white air exhaling from his mouth, as well as the heavy snowfall from far to near in the sky.

There are two suns high in the sky. The tallest golden sun brings light and heat, and the shorter green sun is a strange life formed by the distortion of the "corona", radiating "calm" and "pleasure" to people.

Hand in the sky for two days is a unique spectacle in Yaocheng.

Lu Yao moved his arms and touched the thick beard on his chin.

 In the eyes of passers-by, I should be the kind of "big brother, don't chop me" kind of person.

 This appearance has the advantage of reducing the probability of encountering trouble.

 As long as I look like someone who is looking for trouble, then trouble will not be easy to find me.

Lu Yao looked around.

Now he is standing in the forest north of Yao City. Going further north will lead to the volcanic area where the Aegir Fire is located, and going south will enter Yao City.

 Suddenly he saw a man carrying a bamboo basket picking up branches in the snow.

 “This brother!”

Lu Yao greeted him and strode towards the other party.

As a result, his voice frightened the other party so much that they ran away without even picking up the firewood and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Lu Yao was a little embarrassed.

 Brother, you are making a heroic face. Does he look like a bad guy?

 Forget it, it’s normal to be wary of strangers when you go out.

Lu Yao thought about it for a moment. If he continued to go north, he would just be wrestling with fire elemental creatures, watching the fire bison baring its teeth, or catching a few flaming birds for a walk.

It's better to go around the city and take a look at the city's appearance.

 Since the era update, Lu Yao hasn’t paid much attention to Yaocheng.

On the one hand, it is because Yaocheng is the city where he feels most at ease. It is like the eldest son of the family. No matter how noisy the younger brothers are, the elder brother will remain calm.

On the other hand, things kept coming up one after another, and Lu Yao was indeed busy and forgot about them.

So he chose Yaocheng for his personal visit this time to observe the development of the city and see the real life of the residents.

After countless people walking, the road from the forest to the city became particularly clear. Lu Yao walked along this flattened road and arrived outside Yao City.

The outer wall surrounding the city is about three people high and made entirely of stone bricks. There are guards patrolling the wall.

At the city gate, Lu Yao encountered another little trouble.

"What's your name? What's your occupation? What are you doing in Yaocheng?" The city guard soldiers on duty specifically stopped him and asked him very vigilantly.

 Lu Yao was helpless.

 Those people around me come in and out, so they randomly check me, right?

For the first time, he felt that there might be a slight deviation in the direction of pinching the face.

 “Huang Jia, unemployed, came to Yaocheng to find a job.”

This answer made the soldier nod, seeming to recognize his frankness.

"You are in pretty good shape. Are you interested in joining the City Guards? Our salary is constantly improving. Not only do we enjoy vacations, but we can also apply to go to the academy for further study..."

Lu Yao mumbled a few words and entered the city.

The environment in the city was better than he thought. There was a lot of snow on the roofs and ground on both sides of the street, and the streets were not full of stains and filth. As a city with a population of nearly 300,000, the problem of domestic sewage is an inevitable practical problem.

Lu Yao asked a scholar-like person for advice.

The other party said: "You are from out of town, right? Among the five densely populated big cities, Yao City is the cleanest and sanitary. The reason is because of the newly deciphered dragon language spell [Deodorization Technique]."

"Deodorization is a niche spell used by dragons to cleanse the body and eliminate strong body odor. It can dilute and dilute the odor. It is actually a small trend, but it is suitable for use in the city. Although Yaocheng has a special system for collecting and processing feces workers, but the smell is still very strong, this is an amazing magical achievement..."

The scholar looks very young, wears a black robe, and wears a fluffy white cotton flower on his chest. He is a formal scholar recognized by the seminary.

 When he talked about magic, he seemed particularly excited and talked endlessly.

After Lu Yao said goodbye to him, he visited several shops along the way.

The currency of the Yao people today is still seashells, but it has been changed for many generations.

 The earliest seashells were shells with special marks. After hundreds of years of changes, they have now become a special currency made by crushing shells and sand and then reburning them.

It is round, very thin, and has reliefs symbolizing the city on its surface - thanks to the printing press.

The seashells issued by Yaocheng are carved with a monument, which is also the oldest wonder and symbol of Yaocheng.

There is a maritime lighthouse on the sea shell in Yancheng. Although Yancheng has many wonders, and the lighthouse once collapsed and was later rebuilt in the city's history, Yancheng still chose this representative of the Yancheng spirit.

Saniro does not issue currency and mainly uses city bonds.

The seashells in Uda City are carved with an arch that looks like a mountain peak, while the seashells in Crystal City are carved with a glass pot.

According to shop owners, the seashells from Yaocheng and Yancheng are actually the ones with the highest recognition and best circulation. The ones produced by Ouda City and Crystal City are more like collectibles, with very small circulations.

Lu Yao saw a lot of things he wanted to buy, including wheat cakes and meat cakes, honey wine and books, but unfortunately he was penniless.

Just when he was thinking about whether to call Isabel to get some money, he noticed a figure in the snow.

This man looked to be in his twenties, tall and thin, with melancholy eyes and sunken eyes. It seemed that he had not slept well for a long time.

Wearing a thin robe, he sighed on the street, as if he had encountered some trouble, and looked scratching his head and scratching his head in discomfort.

Lu Yao glanced at this person's faceplate.

 …

 【Abyss Nomad LV4】Andre

 Health: 36/36

 Mana: 42/42

  Damage: 2

 Defense: 1

 Speed: 4

  【Mage LV2】

˜Good at researching and using spells, and has a certain probability of developing new spells.

  【Swiftness】

 Speed ​​+1 for a short time.

  【Exploration】

 Can detect the status of various lives. The success rate is related to the ability level. Failure will be discovered by the person being detected.

 …

The history of this young mage records that he came to the Yao world from the abyss and was 24 years old this year.

 Being able to stand out on the fifth level of the abyss, he can be considered a talent there.

Lu Yao swaggered over and said, "You are young and have a promising future. Why are you sighing here?"

Andre raised his head, seemingly startled by Lu Yao's image.

 Then he said: "I am feeling sad because I have never found a suitable job. Are you?"

 “My name is Huang Jia, and I’m also looking for some work.”

Hearing this, Andre immediately relaxed: "I am Andre, and I have just arrived in Yaocheng from Sifang Kingdom. It seems that we are all in the same situation. You are also a foreigner, right?"

"good."

Lu Yao suddenly thought: "Do you have any money?"

 “A little, not much.”

 “Buy me a drink, maybe I can help you show the way.”

Andre couldn't help laughing. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded: "It's cold, let's go have a drink."

 The two of them found a nearby tavern.

There were not many people in the tavern during the day, so the two of them found a spacious corner to sit down.

Lu Yao ordered a glass of ale, and Andre ordered a cup of strong mead, and Andre paid for it with four seashells.

 The taste of ale wine is sweet and fragrant, and the alcohol content is very low, but it is not bad as an alcoholic beverage.

 Lu Yao took a sip of wine and said, "Tell me about your situation."

Andre put down the wooden wine glass: "Do you know the Sifang Kingdom? Miss, please give me another glass."

“You know, there are five levels of the abyss.”

“You are really knowledgeable. I told some people about it before, but many people didn’t even know about it.”

 Lu Yaoxin said this was normal.

  For a long time, the four countries in the abyss have been the recipients of assistance, and their contact is basically one-way. Now, the talents there are gradually coming out and feeding back the outside world.

"I am a mage. The mage profession is mainly responsible for researching spells and operating mage towers in the abyss. However, there is no mage tower here, so it is not used... I passed the scholar assessment of the Sifang Kingdom and was among the first batch of One of the mages who came to this city."

Andre had a hint of pride on his face.

 “Then why can’t you find a job?”

Lu Yao’s question made the young mage’s smile disappear.

"It's hard to find a job... When I first came here, I thought that with my ability to master two spells, it would be no problem to become a scholar teacher in the seminary. But in the test at the seminary, I didn't even pass the scholar assessment. , they consider academic knowledge and abilities to be at the apprentice level..."

Andre took a sip of wine and said, "I knew the scholars here were knowledgeable, but I didn't expect there were so many things to learn."

"The introductory vocabulary of Dragon language, the principles of fire and steam furnaces, the four arithmetic operations, the basics of potions, the principles of engineering and magic... there are so many, I am confused by those things. The apprentices here have to learn so many things, it is really scary ”

Lu Yao expressed his understanding and clinked glasses with him: "If you can't be a seminary teacher, then use your magic skills. It's not difficult to find an ordinary job."

"It's not easy. I tried to apply for White Castle, but I didn't pass the screening there. After half a month of going around in circles, the only thing they invited me to was a farm, and they asked me to use [Detection Technique] to check it. Are the livestock nearby sick? I am a mage and I want to study spells, not the postpartum problems of sows..."

Andre was filled with bitterness.

Suddenly a woman dressed in white walked in outside.

 “Andre? Are you drinking again?”

Andre's body trembled suddenly, and he explained with a little embarrassment on his face: "Alyosha, I am drinking with this new friend, and he is introducing me to the job. Let me introduce to you, this is Huang Jia, This is my wife, Alyosha."

 “Is that so?” Alyosha looked at Lu Yao with confusion.

"Indeed it is."

Lu Yao nodded.

 He thought to himself, no wonder this boy was so cheerful, since he already wanted to drink. The uncomfortable look on the street was not only due to setbacks at work, but also probably due to alcohol addiction.

Lu Yao noticed.

Andre's wife Alyosha is actually a vampire.

“So, can I join in your conversation?”

 The vampire lady said softly.

Andre's face looked a little unnatural, his hands seemed to have nowhere to rest, and he could only squeeze out a smile at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao said: "Of course it's no problem."

Thanks: Crybaby Madman supports 1,500 starting coins, Dream Builder supports 500 starting coins, and SLily supports 500 starting coins.
