Chapter 876: Wenshan Shuhai Pavilion, Bailu Academy, Fox Student
【Boots of Tolerance】, also commonly known as the big green shoes.
It removes the [Passive: Damage] of [Tranquil Boots], which causes it to lose its health recovery and acceleration effects once attacked.
At the same time, the active skill [Tenacity] has been upgraded from [Consume a little energy, provide +45 attack speed bonus and +13% movement speed bonus to surrounding friendly forces, lasting 6 seconds.] to [Provide +50 attack speed bonus and +15% movement speed bonus to surrounding friendly forces, lasting 6 seconds. And friendly forces are not affected by the deceleration effect for the first 1.5 seconds.].
Attack speed and movement speed are slightly increased, energy points are no longer required, and the effect of not being affected by any slowdown in the first 1.5 seconds is added.
For Mo Cheng, this new effect of being immune to slowdown for 1.5 seconds may be the most useful.
In a sense, [Boots of Tolerance] can also be considered a team equipment, but unfortunately its price of more than 4,000 in the game makes it not very cost-effective.
However, no matter what, this piece of equipment is considered the ultimate equipment, or the so-called big item. Mo Cheng naturally cannot put it aside and directly equip one of the three bodies with it.
Mo Cheng would directly equip this type of equipment with a halo onto his other two bodies, and then the main body would enjoy the blessing of the halo.
[Division Makes Success] not only gave Mo Cheng two bodies with the same combat power as the original body, but what Mo Cheng praised most was the equipment bar that each body had.
Common basic attributes and independent equipment slots allow Mo Cheng to maximize the effect of his equipment.
After resting in the cave for a night, the two set out again. They didn't know if it was because Mo Cheng had killed decisively before and didn't let anyone escape, but they didn't see any ambushes or robberies along the way.
We did encounter a few traps on the road, but there was no one around. It was obvious that the traps had been abandoned and the people who set them were too lazy to dismantle them.
Yesterday, dozens of people were lying in ambush on the road, trying to kill Mo Cheng and steal the rare treasures. However, after walking ten miles today, the biggest threat he encountered was a few traps that attracted attention.
This made Mo Cheng examine himself and wonder if he had killed too decisively yesterday and left no one alive, thus scaring off those who wanted to take advantage of him.
But if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem right. As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. The rare treasures in Mo Cheng's hands can theoretically be used as the foundation of a thousand-year-old sect, aristocratic family, or a dynasty. The profit from it is more than 30,000%, let alone 300%.
The number of people he killed yesterday was probably not enough to deter those who coveted the rare treasures.
So where is the problem?
Do they feel that the existing forces are not enough to support them, so they seek help, or introduce more and stronger competitors to fish in troubled waters?
Mo Cheng didn't know which one it was, but his approach was always simple: if someone came to rob, he would kill them.
After walking along the route on the map for four or five days, Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi had already left the territory of Northern Qi. However, they had not encountered anyone from the Northern Qi imperial palace along the way, which did eliminate an option for Mo Cheng.
He had planned to send evil Buddhas and evil monks to the Northern Qi Palace to turn the dragon throne into the emperor's sudden death chair if he met anyone from the Northern Qi Palace again, but unfortunately the Northern Qi Palace did not seem to give him the chance.
Mo Cheng estimated that the news of Chief Eunuch Hai being killed by him should not have reached the palace yet. As for the eunuch detained by Prefect Zhang, he was still in prison and could not get out.
Baigu City, a prosperous city, at least in Mo Cheng's cognition, it is more prosperous than the previous city that was in the undercurrent.
At the same time, arriving here means that Mo Cheng and others have already traveled about a quarter of the way to the [Nanli Dao Realm].
This is because Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi are not ordinary people. Even though Shen Xueqi cannot fly due to the backlash of the evil force in her fate, her movement speed is still a hundred times faster than that of ordinary people.
For an ordinary person, it would take several months or even half a year just to reach Baigu City from Northern Qi.
After entering the city, the two of them strolled on the street and attracted many people to stop and look back. Shen Xueqi was already extremely beautiful, and her black hair as white as snow was even more rare. At the same time, perhaps because of the backlash of the evil power in her fate, her bright eyes flashed a hint of coldness from time to time, making passers-by feel the cold wind blowing on their faces.
Mo Cheng glanced at Shen Xueqi from the side, and seeing that she had a blank expression and seemed to be oblivious to everyone around her, he felt a little relieved.
Shen Xueqi has been disturbed by the backlash of the evil power in her fate these days. If she gets angry at being seen by passers-by on the street, once the Fang Tian Hua Ji named "Feng Xue" is taken out, half of the city will probably be frozen.
However, Shen Xueqi's self-cultivation was much better than Mo Cheng had expected. Perhaps it was because she had been practicing in the mountains for many years and did not care about the eyes of others, but at least she did not have to face any extra trouble.
The two came to a store called Wenshan Shuhai Pavilion, which is a place specializing in selling books. After Mo Cheng asked the store owner a few questions, he bought a bunch of books. As the quantity was quite large, the store owner even gave him a box. Carrying the box full of books, Mo Cheng became closer to a scholar who was taking an exam.
"Those books are..."
"You're talking about these things. We're going to explore the local conditions and customs of the [Nanli Daoyu], historical books, and information about the major sects. Let's see if there's anything we need to pay attention to along the way (sources of experience points)."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng couldn't help but grit his teeth, secretly cursing this store in his heart as a black-hearted profiteer.
The money he spent on buying books accounted for almost one-third of the travel expenses given by Prefect Zhang.
If we follow the prices on Earth, a set of three geography books would cost about 150 yuan, so the books behind him cost nearly 5,000 yuan.
The price has increased by more than thirty times!
Although he could understand this ancient-like world, due to transportation and productivity, knowledge commodities such as books would definitely not be as cheap as on Earth.
But he never expected the price to be so much higher.
Then [Wenshan Shuhai Pavilion] must have ripped him off, but there was nothing he could do, as this was the largest and most comprehensive bookseller in the city, and only here could he find the information he needed.
Mo Cheng didn't intend to rush in rashly without knowing any of the local customs along the way.
If you do that, you will be in a dilemma and if you are not in the right, you will be restricted in gaining experience points.
As he was walking, Mo Cheng seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He turned his head abruptly and took a closer look, only to see a fox wearing human clothes and walking on two feet.
It was definitely a fox, with fur on its face and hands. Rather than a transformed monster, it was more like the beastman that Mo Cheng had seen on the continent of Kovale.
What’s even more bizarre is that the fox was dressed like a college student.
"Is that... a demon?"
Shen Xueqi looked at the place where Mo Cheng pointed and nodded, "It's a demon. I don't smell blood or obscene things. It's not a cannibal or a spirit-taker. It must be a fox that has gained intelligence by chance. Judging from its clothes, it must be a student of White Deer Academy."
"Can the academy accept non-human disciples?"
Mo Cheng was stunned for a moment. There was no such thing in the memory of this body. He didn't know whether the previous owner of this body was keen on taking the civil service exam or whether the Jixia Academy itself did not have any demon students.
"Confucianism advocates that everyone should be taught, and foxes are mostly intelligent by nature, making them good candidates for study. Most academies will not refuse them from studying."
