I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 64. Is This Useful?

It was already late at night the next day when the Apple Pie and Rylai came online again. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, to the point where it was impossible to tell humans from animals within a meter.

After everyone had arrived, the mission had ended. Andrew then came over with a worried expression.

"Brother Char, we've already stayed here for two days and two nights (there was one day and one night before), if we delay any longer..."

"Isn't this all up to you, Manager of the Clover Chamber of Commerce? Although you were born in the Kingdom of Rugao, you grew up in the Icy Plains of Aurania. This fog is nothing to you, right?" Char blinked at him.

Andrew's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly after a long while.

"I didn't expect you to know me so well."

"No, I just have some understanding of Aurania. I can tell that you're of bloodline because you're generally darker than the people of Aurania, and..." Char shrugged. "You're not as handsome as them as well."

The round-faced merchant was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, you're right. Even my wife said that I look like a barbarian from the Northern Red Grasslands. I can indeed find the direction in the fog, but the problem is that we have to deal with the survivors first."

Char stepped on Apple Pie's foot without a sound.

[Is he trying to give me a message]

[What is he trying to do?]

[When he said 'we have to deal with the survivors first', he was referring to the surviving female vulture and the one who unlocked the door. It's time to declare your position, young lady.]

[It's so hidden! How should I answer him?]

[You've decided to murder your colleagues, right?]

[What do you mean by murder? This is justice! I've asked her, and she said we can do it now!]

"I'll take care of this problem."

Char shrugged his shoulders at Andrew and suddenly leaped forward, pouncing straight at Corian. At the same time, two hook claws shot out from the left and right in a crisscross manner, heading straight for Corian's back.

Even though the Dark Brotherhood's locksmith had long been prepared to escape, under such a surprise attack, he still could not even escape the cave. He only had time to turn around before his heart was pierced by the sword.

"It's so heartbreaking. He's quite good to me."

Apple Pie helped him close his eyes, then skillfully took out a bag of money and two pieces of equipment.

Wait...

Equipment?

Char's eyes widened!

How could an NPC like Corian drop equipment?

Although the poor locksmith was at level 17, his combat power was not as good as a level 13 Thief. He had spent most of his energy on his lockpicking career. Char had found a total of 42 lockpicks on him, hidden in a small metal bucket. They were densely packed like toothpicks.

"My hero! Look at this!"

The female thief excitedly handed over the item.

[Corian's Third Hand (Hook)]

[Secondary Weapon]

[Attack power= 0.25*AD. Agility +1.]

[Maximum distance: 25.5 meters.]

[Corian's Deerskin Boots]

[Silent thief: Agility +3 when running.]

Char watched it silently, speechless.

He really had not seen a NPC drop equipment before.

Perhaps the drop rate increased because the difficulty was three people. This explanation was reasonable. The drops were not particularly valuable, just average equipment. It's no wonder that they did not drop in solo mode.

It was like this. He was convinced.

"Big brother, say something! Are these two pieces of equipment good?"

"It's not good. I suggest destroying it."

"Eh? Really? Big brother, are you lying to me on purpose? Hey, why did you push me!"

Char pushed the chattering female thief to the side to make room for Andrew.

The round-faced merchant finally let down his guard and walked over with a smile.

Aurania was extremely cold. To the North was the snowy plains and the frozen sea, and it was an Ice City.

The guards of the Ice City were level 70, and they would only be released in the later stages of the game. Before that, the only way to sneak in was Andrew, a merchant born in the Kingdom of Rugao.

Aurania was the only city that had tamed dragons and successfully put it into production. It controlled the air transportation line and once belonged to the Rugao Kingdom, but now it was slowly becoming independent.

Andrew's plan to break through the fog was to use the unique means of the residents of Ice City to summon a Sky Dragon, then sign a contract with it and let it take everyone out of the fog.

However, they needed to get rid of the female vulture first.

The Sky Dragon that Andrew, who was at level 22, could summon would not be higher than level 30. He would not be a match for the vulture even if he fought it normally. Moreover, this guy had just experienced the pain of losing its husband and was more irritable than anyone else. If he did not deal with it, no Sky Dragon would dare to approach this place.

Char did know a way out, but it would take a long detour, and it was not suitable for Andrew, who was in a hurry to go to Astan City

Everyone's eyes fell on his face again, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Alright, alright."

Char used a stone to draw a map on the ground.

"We are here. In half an hour, the fog will be the thinnest. As long as we light the torch, the female vulture will see us and rush over to help us. We need someone with the fastest reaction to be the bait. Alright, there's no need to look anymore. I know I'll be the bait. However, Mr. Andrew...

"Can I use your Ice Crystal for a while?"

Andrew's expression changed instantly. The staff that he had been holding in his hand actually emitted Ice Flames that symbolized magic power!

"Don't get so worked up, I mean no harm. I just want to increase our success rate," Char comforted.

'After all, I've never seen how fast the female vulture can attack.' Char thought helplessly.

The Ice Crystal was a specialty of Aurania, just like the oil in the Middle East and natural gas in Siberia. However, it was much rarer than the latter two, because only qualified mages could mine it.

This thing itself was an excellent magic material, and was of great benefit to casting spells, enchantment, forging, and alchemy.

Most importantly, it could also be used to draw cards.

When the crystal fell to the ground and shattered, an Ice Spirit would emerged. It held a silver fairy wand and wore an ice crown on its head, and its every movement was in the style of Northern Europe.

The Ice Spirit would only exist for an hour before it disappeared. The attributes drawn by luck were different.

Char wanted the Ice Crystal to help him when he was baiting the female vulture.

After all, it was a level 35 Monster. Its claws were sharp and fast, and it could pierce through gold and jade.

Andrew only took one look at Char and knew that he was not after the material, but wanted to use it as a cannon. He immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"Please forgive me for refusing your request."

Char had already expected this outcome, so he was not angry. He smiled and asked, "5000 gold coins and 10 Ice Crystals for this trip. However, it's not enough,..."

"You really did investigate me!"

"Don't worry, Andrew. I didn't come here just to rescue someone. I also want to tell you some bad news."

"What?"

"The fight club in Astan City has been suspended..."

"What!"

Andrew's expression suddenly changed.
