Chapter 777 New Mission

Chapter 777 New Mission

As for the catastrophe that the original owner experienced, he couldn't actually check it in his memory, because he himself was a mess.

The only information available is that ten years ago, a major disaster broke out outside the suburbs of the capital of Noah Province. More than 30,000 people died, including the parents of the original owner. In that disaster, only "Lu Chen" survived. Come down.

The Morning Embrace Church sent someone to check on "Lu Chen" and found nothing unusual, so they sent him home. However, "Lu Chen" kept saying that he could hear strange noises, and everyone thought he was just crazy.

The sudden disaster plunged the original middle-class family into a desperate situation. They did not own a house. Relying on their original savings, my sister Lu Linhua finished school in one year, gave up her tutor's recommendation to continue her studies, and returned home to find a job to take care of her. younger brother.

The education system of the Sistine Empire is divided into elementary, higher, and special. After the new bill issued by Emperor Willen four years ago, free elementary education began to be universal. All children over nine years old, regardless of gender, can enter elementary colleges to enjoy The four-year compulsory education mainly teaches people to read and count.

Colleges of higher learning require excellent grades to be admitted, and higher tuition fees are required.

As far as the original owner's memory goes, Lu Lin's annual tuition at the public seminary in Ocalan, the capital of Noah's province, was 8 pounds and 4 shillings.

What is this concept? In the Sistine Empire, the currency system was not the name Lu Chen remembered when he first saw it. It reminded him of the currency conversion in Britain on Earth. But it has to be said that the country's currency conversion method used to be. Like it was thought up by a curly-haired baboon.

But as early as three hundred years ago, Emperor Caesar of the Sistine Empire thought that the currency conversion system of base 20 and base 12 was driving people crazy, so he unified the currency conversion standard, 1 pound = 10 shillings = 100 pence. Taking into account the convenience of settling purchases of items in people's daily lives, pennies were divided into half-penny and quarter-penny.

Thank God, although Lu Chen didn't think he would use money very often in this world, he might go crazy if he were asked to use that kind of currency conversion system thought up by curly-haired baboons.

Oh, actually it’s nothing, just leave it to Brother Chu.

In the memory of the original owner, a quarter of a penny could buy a loaf of rye bread. In this world, rye bread was so big that a loaf of rye bread was enough to feed two grown men.

Lu Chen made a slight estimate and felt that the purchasing power of one penny was roughly equivalent to 20 yuan in the Eastern countries in the dragon world.

Of course, eating rye bread is equivalent to eating steamed buns. A quarter of a penny can satisfy two people in the lower city, but it may not be enough for people in the upper city.

In this comparison and conversion, the tuition fee is really expensive, which is equivalent to about 16,800 yuan in the Dragon World every year, so many families will not let their children go to colleges and universities.

For the lower class people, this tuition fee is far more than the family's annual living expenses. Of course, poor families are reluctant to part with it.

"Brother Lu."

While Lu Chen was thinking, he suddenly received a call from Chu Zihang's team.

"What's wrong?"

When Lu Chen came to his senses, he thought something had happened to Chu Zihang and was ready to pull someone in at any time.

The Lanis he just killed was very weak to him, but for an explorer who has just entered the sixth level of strength, it may not be that easy to handle. Of course, Chu Zihang can defeat an existence of Lanis's level, but if What about stronger ones?

The upper limit of difficulty in this world is higher than you.

Seemingly sensing Lu Chen's slight nervousness, Chu Zihang replied: "Everything is normal here. I'm not in danger. I just discovered something and I feel I need to remind Brother Lu."

Lu Chen picked up his spirits and said, "Brother Chu said."

"The property obtained in this world through official and conventional channels can be used when authenticating items after leaving the world. If Brother Lu has the opportunity, he might as well try to make some money."

Chu Zihang had just received his salary for this month and discovered something incredible.

"Oh? Is this still possible?"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up. You must know that he has worried about certified props or equipment in the past two worlds. It was obviously something he obtained through pushing, but if he didn't authenticate it, he couldn't take it out. He spent the origin coins and resold it. The profit is only a little over one-third, and with the limited number of certifications, the profit is actually not very high.

If you can take away things without the Origin Coin authentication, you will get five pieces of equipment directly, and your income will increase exponentially.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked towards Shangcheng District in the distance. Is there a bank here?

"Brother Lu, please don't get excited. I just said that it must be done through official and formal channels. Currency obtained by robbing banks is not recognized by the space."

Chu Zihang was indeed the good brother who knew Lu Chen best, and he instantly guessed Lu Chen's mentality at this moment.

"Well, that's tasteless."

Lu Chen didn't need to think about it to know that the currency required for certification must be an astronomical figure. He couldn't steal money. Was he serious about working?

That would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Brother Lu, I don't think space will open up a useless function. Origin allows explorers to enter the world to gain exploration. The ultimate goal should be to absorb the world. We are working for Origin, not for this world. When people work, there are only two possibilities for this mechanism."

Lu Chen didn't interrupt and waited quietly for Chu Zihang's analysis.

"One possibility is that the currency of this world itself has a certain special value, but this possibility is smaller, because what I have in my hand is paper money, which itself has no value. It only has value after being endorsed by the country of steam and machinery. .”

"Then there is another possibility. When we obtain money through formal channels, it is an exploration of the world. It is a process in which we come into contact with the mysteries of the world. In these processes, there may be hints of the truth of the world. This is Before the main mission is released, Origin is a disguised reminder to explorers, giving them a suitable entry point.”

"Of course, there is also..."

When Chu Zihang said this, he was interrupted by Lu Chen.

"Okay, Brother Chu, I know there are many possibilities. Anyway, I will pay attention to it and I will not let go of the opportunity to make money."

Lu Chen felt that Chu Zihang wanted to hold an academic forum, so he stopped the idea.

The other party's analysis is very reasonable, and he currently feels that the second possibility mentioned by Chu Zihang is more likely.

After he came to this world, he has not yet obtained the main mission, nor the side missions.

In the mission menu, there are only pioneer level advanced missions and team missions.

The advanced mission was as simple as ever, and he had just completed it.

Well, Lanis is considered a sixth-level "creature" after all. After killing him, the mission will be prompted to complete.

As for team tasks, they are a bit special.

[Team Mission (optional): Destroyer]

Mission content: Kill a seventh-level explorer in the fairy space.

Mission Difficulty: Easy Nightmare

Mission reward: The adventure group level is upgraded to S level

Failure penalty: three random main attributes -1

Team tasks are usually related to the world, but this time they are asked to kill an explorer from another space. It is not limited to individuals, as long as it is a seventh-level explorer.

But this mission does not mean good news. It means that among the explorers sent from other dimensions, there are seventh-level explorers, and Lu Chen does not know the specific strength of those people.

In addition to team tasks, he also received a ruling task for the first time in a long time.

[Judgment Task: Conviction]

Mission content: Kill the seventh-level violator No. 2389067 in the terminal space. When the violator approaches the Pioneer within ten kilometers, the Pioneer will be reminded and a special locked map will be opened.

Mission Difficulty: DifficultDeath

Mission reward: Pioneer Diamond Medal*2

Failure penalty: -2 points for three random main attributes

Team tasks are optional, but judgment tasks cannot be refused. But what makes Lu Chen curious is why the target is a violator in the final space?

what is this? Has Yin Space outsourced its business?

Will such "transactions" also occur between major spaces?

This task is not simple. The seventh-level explorer is not weak to begin with, and the span range is still very large. As the violator, God knows what cheating methods the other party has.

Judging from the lowest difficulty of the task, even if the other party does not do anything unworthy, their overall attributes will not be weaker than your own. This is a tough one.

Reminiscent of his last ruling mission, natural disasters were driving the undead army at that time. The plague-like spreading ability allowed him to create unlimited legions without consuming soul sources, and eventually turned into a torrent that devoured the world.

On a continent like the Land Abandoned by the Gods, what methods would the violator of the Final Space have?

After Lu Chen calmed down, he cut off contact with Chu Zihang and prepared to return to the original owner's home first.

The original sister graduated from the seminary. Although she did not receive special education, she is obviously an intellectual and should know more about the world. Even if she does not know about the mysterious side, she can also understand the current situation of the entire continent.

He walked through the gradually falling night, putting away his Duke of Slaughter, God Eater, and Regicide on the way. The first two were okay, but they were just dressed in clothes. Even if they didn't look like the clothes they should be wearing in the lower city, they were fine. No big deal.

But regicide is different. In this world, knife control is still implemented. Soldiers, law enforcement officers, or more mysterious professions within the church are not allowed to carry weapons or knives.

The Regicide can now be freely extended and transformed. In order to be portable or adapt to fighting in narrow places, Lu Chen would change it to a size similar to the red maple he had used in the dragon world before, but it was obviously also a dangerous weapon.

And if he doesn't put away these things, he won't be able to explain it after he goes back. The interference of space on people in this world is very small. He just changed his identity and inherited the background of the original "Lu Chen", the unlucky guy. He can't suddenly change.

The material of the Duke of Slaughter and the ring that looks very old like the God Eater cannot be explained to "sister".

If he were to carry the knife again, based on his plummeting charm value, he suspected that he would scare ordinary people to death.

In the night, Lu Chen, wearing the gray coarse linen clothes, faced the cold wind and walked through the alley according to his memory, and stopped just one street away from Shancheng District.

Because it is close to Shangcheng District, the sanitary environment here is much better, because the "gentlemen" in Shangcheng District are very concerned about smelling strange smells when passing by the street next to it.

The people who live here are usually poor people with relatively good living conditions in the lower city area. Their quality is slightly higher. They have a certain ambition and want to live in the upper city area one day.

What is in front of me is an old house that looks to be fifty or sixty years old. It is three stories high. Looking at the windows, there should be five small rooms on each floor.

Lu Chen touched his pocket and found a key inside. The original owner went crazy before he died. Miraculously, the key was not washed into the sewer by him.

Pushing open the door of this house, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in the corridor on the first floor. His hairline was high and the hair on the top was sparse. When he saw that Lu Chen was back, he was very disgusted. After turning sideways and passing by, there was a trembling sound in the throat, as if he wanted to spit out a mouthful of phlegm.

But he finally held back, because he was the landlord here, Pugins.

Mumble

There was a swallowing sound, and Pugins swallowed the indescribable thing back. He was too lazy to clean the corridor.

When Lu Chen stopped in front of a door, Pugins called out to him, "If you can understand human speech, tell your sister that if you don't pay the rent this month, get out of here next week."

Seeing Lu Chen pause, Pugins thought that the boy didn't understand or was intimidated. A smile appeared on his greasy face again, "You can also pay in other ways."

Lu Chen turned around and glanced at Pugins indifferently. This middle-aged man in his fifties, who inherited his grandfather's property, was unlearned and unskilled.

After being glanced at by Lu Chen, Pugins felt chilled in his heart, his feet trembled, and he sat down on the ground.

It wasn't until Lu Chen inserted the copper key into the door, turned it and opened the door that he came back to his senses.

"Why does this kid look so evil today? He was originally gloomy and nagging. Why is he so infiltrative when he comes back after missing for a few days?"

Pugins rubbed his arms and felt goosebumps for a while. He stood up with weak legs and walked out of the door. He felt like there was a foreign object in his throat. He coughed lightly for a while and walked out for a few steps before walking out on the street. He spit out a mouthful of phlegm happily.

Lu Chen entered the room and observed the interior. It was a small space of less than 10 square meters, with only one window and a bed. There was a blanket on the floor next to the bed. The white paint on the surrounding walls had fallen off due to the aging of the house and water seepage. Most of it.

A small pot stand was placed on the wall next to the window, which served as the kitchen.

Aside from the fact that this room is very small and crowded, there are not many shortcomings. At least all the items are neatly placed, the bed and bedding are clean and tidy, and there is no peculiar smell in the air, which is full of the breath of life.

Simple, clean, with a little warmth.

The "Lu Chen" siblings live in such a place.
