Summoner, He is Never Alone
Chapter 362
After being choked by Sister Xuan, Ye Xu lost interest in flipping through the forum. He turned his head to look for the little dragon cubs to play with. After finally clearing the dungeon, he had to play for two days.
Unlike him, other base friends chose to find a place where no one else was to test their current level of strength. After getting a new weapon, it's boring not to fight.
So the situation became that Ye Xu's level remained motionless, and the levels of others continued to soar. Ye Xu said he couldn't understand their eagerness to escalate.
Killing the boss before gave them a lot of experience points, and directly changed all the pink experience bars to normal colors, so they can continue to use drugs to upgrade. He felt that the level raised in this way was enough, and there was no need to rush monsters, it was not even the festival.
This time in the New Year, all players have basically skyrocketed a level. Many people not only brushed the New Year's dungeon, but also the normal dungeon. The 115-level dungeons of the wasteland relied on this to catch up with their level, but unfortunately they were later thrown away by the experience given by the old boss.
Ye Xulang spent several days, and it was not until the Lantern Festival that he finally cheered up and returned to the main city with the crazy dragon cubs.
The announcement of the Lantern Festival event was released three days in advance. Ye Xu glanced at it, and the main event was to guess lantern riddles. If you guess correctly, you can win the corresponding lanterns. Each lantern comes with a different random buff. There is no limit to the number of lanterns you can hold. The buff effect will take effect immediately when you put it in your backpack. You can hold multiple lanterns. The buff lasts for a total of 15 days. .
This lantern riddle guessing activity is only held on the day of the Lantern Festival and ends at 12 o'clock. On the second day, the system will count the number. The person who holds the most lanterns can get the title of lantern leader, a low-level task, 2 to 5 people can get a high-level task, 6 to 10 people can get a middle-level task, 11 To 20 people get the task of low-grade, 20 to 50 are orange tasks, after 50 there is no reward.
This reward is not directly given to props, but to tasks, which is a bit interesting. However, Ye Xu was not good at guessing lantern riddles, so he basically gave up hope for the final quest reward. If he participated, he might not even be able to get the top 50.
Besides, the orange quest is not uncommon, if you really want to do it, go to the mercenary union to directly accept it. The mercenary guild can now accept the highest quests of the mid-level rank, but it is very rare, and only one will be refreshed occasionally; there are relatively more low-level rank, and there can be one or two appearances every day; orange is the public stuff, at most Count on upper-middle tasks.
Ye Xu was very interested in the quests of the heavenly rank and the top rank of the earth rank, but it was impossible for him to get the top five. So instead of struggling to participate in activities, it is better to find a way to get tasks elsewhere.
In the past two months, he has not done many tasks. In addition to returning to the home system to farm, he is traveling. But it seems that he will get tired of traveling too much. After playing the dungeon for more than ten days, he doesn't want to continue traveling anymore.
It happened that the first-level main city was almost finished, and the second-level main city below was free to talk about it later. He doesn't want to farm monsters now, but wants to find some interesting tasks to do.
There are many ways to accept the task, the most convenient is to ask the dragons. Ye Xu tried once, but the giant dragon told him that they had nothing to help him. In the end, there were still only two gem collection tasks every month, and nothing else.
The dragon family couldn't get through here, so Ye Xu planned to ask his good teacher. I haven't contacted His Highness Marven Ye for a few days. It happens that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so I can wish him a quick holiday in advance.
Ye Xu pretended that he was just a normal holiday greeting, not that he wanted to come to him when something happened. After chatting with Marven Ye across the crystal dragon for a while, he politely asked the other party if he needed help.
Marven Ye, who had a deep filter on his little apprentice, was completely unaware that something was wrong. Hearing what he said, he thought that the apprentice was trying to share his worries, and was very moved for a while. He thought about it and said, "Since you want to help me so much, then I'll assign some things to you."
In this way, Ye Xu successfully received a task, the top grade. Although the rank is high, the task is not very difficult, at least for Ye Xu, it is not very difficult.
[System prompt: Every spring, the capital will hold a grand spring feast to welcome the arrival of spring. The theme of this year's spring feast is spring flowers. Please collect all the 12 kinds of flower potted plants within the time limit and send them to the city lord's mansion of Emules, who will be handed over by the city lord Fia. 】
When Ye Xu first saw "Kao", he thought that this task was particularly difficult. After all, Kao has always been difficult to obtain, and it is rare and valuable. Moreover, it has just passed the Spring Festival, and spring has not officially come yet, and those flowers have not yet reached the flowering period.
As a result, I came to the first flower garden according to the system prompt, and only after inquiring with the person in charge did I know that these flower kings were cultivated in a greenhouse in advance. The royal capital just needs to send someone over to select the best Kao, and then pay the bill and take it away.
"You are not a native of Lingyuan Continent. You may not know that the theme of the spring banquet in the capital is fixed, and it rotates every 12 years." The person in charge explained, "There are 12 different themes, and flowers are one of them. One, these themes rotate in a certain order, so everyone knows in advance what the themes will be each year."
Then they would bid for the next Kao offer after the last flower-themed spring feast ended. This flower garden was qualified to provide flowers in this session 12 years ago, but only one of them was competed.
12 different kinds of flowers, naturally in charge of 12 different flower gardens. In fact, they are also in a competitive relationship. When the spring banquet is held, all the nobles will evaluate the Kao, and select the best one to become the Kao of the year, and the flower garden that cultivates it can get huge benefits.
Those nobles love to pursue the most beautiful, if a flower garden grows a flower emperor, then they may give priority to purchasing all kinds of flowers from this flower garden for the next twelve years. Therefore, in order to gain both fame and fortune in the future, the flower garden can be said to be full of energy, and it is more important to serve those Kao candidates than to serve the king.
After hearing this, Ye Xu keenly discovered the big pit inside: "So Kao hasn't been picked out yet, so I need to choose the best looking one from the candidate flowers now?"
This is not to offend people, he does not know how to taste flowers. If he didn't choose well enough, the Flower Garden would definitely blame him in private. And even if he made a good choice, but the later Huahuang loses the competition, the owner of the flower garden may anger him and still think that he did not choose well.
Ye Xu would never do such a thankless thing. Although he usually likes to dig holes for other players, it is for his own entertainment, which is different from the current situation. He doesn't have any interest in pitting NPCs or being pitted by NPCs, so he says he has poor aesthetics even if he doesn't even think about it, and ask the owner of the flower garden to come and choose Kao.
At that time, he will take whichever the master chooses, and it is none of his business if it is not judged. For the sake of him being the prince's only apprentice, the other party would not dare to push the blame to him in a particularly unreasonable situation.
The owner of the flower garden arrived quickly, and he was surprised for a long time when he heard that Ye Xu asked him to pick the flower king himself. He explained: "In the past, it was selected by the envoys sent by the prince. Most of them were from nobles and knew more about the preferences of nobles. If I were to pick, I was afraid that the nobles I picked would not like them."
Hearing this, Ye Xu sent out a soul torture: "If your aesthetics are different from those of the nobles, how can you cultivate a Kao that the nobles praise? Logically speaking, the Kao candidates here should all be in line with the nobles' preferences, right? In the future, the nobles will come to buy flowers from you, so all the flowers here should conform to their aesthetics."
The owner of the flower garden who tried to push the pot but was blocked back: "..." How can he refute this?
Before he could rack his brains to make excuses, Ye Xu added: "Since you don't even know what the nobles like, I am now very suspicious of how you competed for the qualification to cultivate Kao. Could it be that you lost some favor... "
Seeing that the topic was about to involve bribery, the flower garden owner was sweating profusely, and quickly interrupted him: "Of course not! I'm not sure, so be humble! In that case, I'll choose it myself, don't bother You are bothered!"
Ye Xu was satisfied.
But even if the problems in the flower garden are solved, there is still a big hole waiting for him. That is, if the Kao he sent is not good enough, it may make those nobles who taste it dissatisfied and feel that he is not doing well.
Fortunately, he was Marven Ye's only young apprentice, and he was also treated by the bigwigs of various ethnic groups, and he was also the prince of the Dragon Clan. Those nobles should not dare to complain about him because of so many titles and identities. Even if he really picked a lot of ugly flowers, they should only close their eyes and praise them.
Ye Xu thought for a while, and decided to turn around and mention to King Shark and the others that he helped deliver this year's Kao. This kind of spring banquet, perhaps all ethnic groups will also send representatives to attend, and then they can help him with a few good words.
After thinking about the task up and down and making sure that there were no omissions, Ye Xu couldn't help sighing. He is now beginning to wonder if Marven Ye really values him or if he takes the opportunity to toss him, why there are so many pitfalls in posting a task, and whether he knows how to take care of his little apprentice, and if this goes on, Ye Xu wants to change his teacher.
It was Ye Xu who misunderstood him. In fact, the selection of Kao didn't have so many twists and turns. If it is an ordinary person to pick, those aspects that Ye Xu considers naturally need to be handled with care, but if it is replaced by Ye Xu with a special status, in fact, as long as he picks it casually, it will be ok.
When the system evaluates the task level as high-grade, it refers to the difficulty of ordinary players after receiving the task. Normal players don't have so many backstages, so they have to be more careful when picking the flower king. After considering many aspects, they choose the most perfect one, so as not to be picked on by both the nobles and the flower garden.
But Ye Xu is not an ordinary player. People with backgrounds don't need to be so careful. As long as they pick it up and send it over, even if the matter is over.
As he thought before, the nobles who participated in the spring banquet would not dare to pick on Ye Xu's taste blindly. And the owner of the flower garden is essentially an ordinary businessman, without aristocratic status, let alone complaining about the aristocracy.
They may quietly throw the blame before the incident, and use a little bit of caution to ask Ye Xu to help them pick flowers, so that if Kao is not liked by the nobles, the nobles will also choose to tolerate Ye Xu's identity instead of directly criticizing it. It's not good here. where is bad. You must know that the casual picky of the nobles may be a big blow to the business of the flower garden. When someone mentions his family, they will say: "What's wrong with the Kao raised by this family, it can be seen that other flowers are probably not good. How about it."
In a word, he didn't dare to complain, at most he wanted to use Ye Xu's power to let the nobles only say good things. But Ye Xu was too careful and blocked the road, and the owner of the flower garden could only sigh and pick flowers by himself.
Seeing this, Ye Xu couldn't bear it anymore, and after thinking about it, he praised their flowers well. Only then did the owner of the flower garden become happy again. He also inquired about Ye Xu and knew how much background he had behind him. Now the crown prince of the dragon family said that his family's flowers were good, even if those nobles were picky, it didn't matter.
Can nobles be more precious than dragon princes? Everyone says it looks good, but you have so many opinions, are you trying to find fault?
"Thank you! Thank you!" The owner of the flower garden shook Ye Xu's hand uncontrollably, crying with gratitude.
Ye Xu was under a lot of pressure from him: "...It's not impossible, your flowers are really pretty, why don't I buy two?"
