Chapter 400: Chapter 259: Familiar Face Task_3

Mu You clicked and checked.

Obviously, to begin with, most people thought these robots were some kind of hi-tech product. They marveled at how advanced technology is, and how robots have developed to be able to directly replace manual labor.

Of course, there were some who knew better.

At the position of the thirtieth plus floor, someone first revealed the true identity of the robots.

"Don’t bother wondering, these are labor robots, alchemical tools from the Goblin Clan, each has at least a hundred years worth of life! And consumes demon crystals. Even if you guys owned them, you probably can’t afford to keep them."

"Just a hundred years? I heard alchemy robots can last five hundred years."

"Five hundred years is for more advanced robots, these in the store owner’s house should be the most common kind..."

"If even the most common kind is this amazing, then the more advanced ones must be incredibly powerful..."

...

Regular players obviously didn’t thoroughly understand goblin robots. Even Mu You, before he encountered the goblin, never knew much about alchemy.

At this point, there were already many comments from people claiming to be from ’certain tech companies’ in the backstage, asking Mu You about the sale of these robots at high prices.

Even Zhang Yang subtly asked before he left today whether he had any plans to sell these robots and if there were other ways to acquire them.

Mu You naturally did not directly discuss the goblin’s abilities. If the goblin’s capabilities were exposed, it would probably be requisitioned by the state, and it would also be hard to explain the origin of the previous batch of materials.

So in the end, Mu You just mentioned that he came across some fortuitous encounter in the game and that these robots were found in some underground ruin. He added that he still needed them for his own use and did not plan on selling them just yet.

After browsing the forum for a while, Mu You checked the time.

It was 11:30 p.m. Time for the Elf Horn task, which refreshed once a week.

Mu You logged into the Fool Game.

After logging in the game, he was still on the Imperial City Street. Mu You controlled his character to return to the Academy Dormitory, then he blew the horn on the spot.

[You blew the elf horn.]

[The Sunlight Elf princess, Salina Daybringer, appears before you and presents you with a task.]

[Improving Reputation: Salina has some important things to entrust you with, but due to the Sunlight Elf Clan’s excessive exclusion of outsiders, a foreigner’s basic reputation in their territory is very low. Handing you an important task directly will meet with resistance from the clan, so you need to come to the Sunlight Elf’s territory and find a way to increase your reputation to Friendly, allowing most Sunlight Elves to accept your presence before she can assign you your next task.]

[Task Objective: Go to Phoenix City and increase the Sunlight Elf Clan’s Reputation to "Friendly" within one week.]

[Reward: A basic residence in Phoenix City.]

As soon as the horn was blown, the first task to appear was that of the Sunlight Elf, though it seemed to be a pre-task.

According to the text, it was because his reputation was too low and he needed to make his presence felt on the Sunlight Elf’s turf. When he became familiar enough with the residents, the elf princess would give him his subsequent tasks.

Mu You remembered that he only needed a hundred reputation points to achieve a friendly relationship with the Forest Elf previously. One hundred reputation points in a week was not a hard task and the reward was not bad either. A house in Phoenix City - If he could get it, he would be considered an insider in Phoenix City in the future, entitled to the basic benefits of the Sunlight Elf Clan.

This task was acceptable overall, but Mu You did not rush to choose it, instead, he first went back and reviewed the other tasks.

As expected, the tasks of the Forest Elf and the Dark Elf were the same as before. One asked him to destroy the Goblin’s lair in the Underground Temple, and the other asked him to investigate the anomaly at ’Fantasy Village’.

Neither of these could be done in a short period of time.

As for the last one, the Fairy Lady, she did not appear this time either, which made Mu You increasingly worried. Two consecutive no-shows, had she really fallen?

He had no choice. As the Fairy Lady had stood him up twice in a row, he couldn’t really do anything about it even though he was worried. At this point, he could only choose the Sunlight Elf’s task.

[You have accepted the "Improving Reputation" task.]

[You have opened the Sunlight Elf Clan’s reputation, current reputation: -900 (Indifferent)]

[You have received a ’Temporary Residence Voucher for Phoenix City’.]

"-900?"

Mu You was stunned by this number.

He initially thought that gaining a hundred reputation points would suffice, but it turns out that it starts from a negative. In other words, he has to gain a thousand reputation points within a week...

"It’s doable..."

Mu You could only accept it. A thousand reputation points in a week was a bit tight, but it was still better than the other two impossible tasks.

After accepting the task, it was close to twelve o’clock. Mu You controlled his character to teleport to Peaceful Village.

The Old Cat store owner had previously told him that their headquarters would have a batch of spell scrolls to be dispatched every Sunday at dawn, and the refresh would be early, so he needed to wait in advance.

[You have arrived at Peaceful Village’s entrance.]

[You come before the Owl Shop at the entrance of the village and are looking to buy goods. However, at this moment, all six windows inside the store are empty. Around the shop, there are fifty-five other fools gathered, all eager and ready to sweep the upcoming new goods.’)

It seems like last week, there’s a crowd waiting to buy goods.

Mu You shook his head helplessly, controlled his character to walk over, and got ready.

After hanging around the entrance for a while, it was soon twelve o’clock. The game also promptly popped up a prompt.

[An owl landed on the top of the store...]

[The old Cat Store Owner received the new day’s stock. After opening it, he took six items out of the suitcase.]

[You look in and see the six items the Old Cat Store Owner took out. They are: Holy Light Scroll, Divine Shield Scroll, Low-Level Light Lore Fragment, Vampire Sword, Morning Star Spear, and Invisibility Cloak.]

Holy Light, Divine Shield, Light Lore Fragment!

Mu You’s eyes lit up, as he made the right choice coming today. Three useful items all at once!
