The card was flipped open, and it was blank, obviously an empty card.

Xia Nuo withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said to Xi Xi: “Nothing has been drawn.”

“Let’s try another shot?” The little girl suggested, “My suggestion is that if you can’t draw within ten rounds, it’s not too late to think about whether to give up.”

Because the residence right for half a year is about 100 low-level magic crystals, she chose to give up because she couldn’t get any. Now she is renting a house. Although the conditions of the rented house are not bad, it is more comfortable to have her own house.

Xia Nuo nodded and re-invested ten low-level magic crystals.

When he was selecting cards, he heard the voice again: “Ninth card from the left.”

Xia Nuo: “…”

As if afraid that he would reject the prompt again, the ninth card from the left glowed with a faint white light, strongly proclaiming his presence.

There was obvious hesitation on Xia Nuo’s face, and the next moment, the card suddenly turned over by itself, as if a pair of invisible hands made the choice for him.

“Missed?” The little girl looked at Xia Nuo strangely, not understanding why his face was so complicated.

She quickly comforted him: “It doesn’t matter, even the European Emperor sometimes rolls over.”

Before she finished speaking, a card was placed in front of her by the boy.

“Noke Street 130.” She read the address on the card, smiling, “Congratulations, it’s a well-known wealthy area, and all the high-end houses are built, No. 130”

She thought about it carefully, and unfolded the topographic map of the town in her mind: “The location is also good, very close to the guards and the trading street, the security is very good, and it is very convenient to buy and sell things.”

“The neighbours are all well-known tailors, skilled blacksmiths, and doctors with excellent medical skills in the town. It will be very convenient to have a good relationship with them.”

Although most items can only be obtained by drawing cards, there is no rule that these items cannot be processed again.

Just like weapons, if you really can’t get high-level weapons, you can pay the magic crystal to upgrade the low-level weapons.

This kind of work is usually done by blacksmiths, and the blacksmith the little girl mentioned is the most famous one in the town.

“Little brother, your luck is really good!” After the little girl finished speaking, she showed an envious expression.

Xia Nuo was a little surprised at her memory at first, but after thinking about the little girl who has been in this game for a year, it is normal to know so much about the town. After hearing this sentence, the expression on his face became complicated.

How should I put it, it wasn’t his luck at all.

He always felt as if he had been manipulated in the dark. Although the result seemed to be good, that kind of behaviour was too blatant, right?!

“Let’s smoke some food and medicine next.” The little girl said enthusiastically.

As for the others, since the house has been drawn out, it can be prepared later.

Because all the facilities in the house are complete, you can move in directly. Unlike the little girl back then, who needed to prepare furniture and all kinds of things by herself, it cost a lot of magic crystals just to draw cards.

Both food and potions have different qualities and also have various bonuses.

When the card was drawn again, the voice appeared again as expected.

This time Xia Nuo listened to its prompts selectively and found that as long as it was prompted, no matter if it was food or medicine, they were generally of high quality. However, the quality of the ones he chose was uneven, and he even drew two empty cards.

Xia Nuo once again had a clear understanding of his luck.

The effects of food and medicine are also varied.

Food is basically divided into two categories, increasing mood and satiety. There are also various varieties. He didn’t know why, as if it understood Xia Nuo’s preferences, the food is all his favourite dishes and sweets.

The potions include healing potions, stamina-enhancing potions, hemostatic potions, and even a bottle of cosmetic potions.

When Xia Nuo saw this bottle of potion, he didn’t even know what it was for.

Can make someone beautiful? He unconsciously spoke his mind.

The little girl’s eyes lit up. Hearing this, she quickly said, “Of course it’s useful, and it’s very useful! With it, we’ll be able to collect a hundred high-level magic crystals soon!”

“You mean to sell it?” Xia Nuo guessed.

Considering how crazy his mother and other women he knows are about beauty products, he can probably understand this approach.

“No.” Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head, “This bottle of beauty potion can only be sold for 35 high-grade magic crystals at most, which is still far away from 100. But you can use it as a stepping stone to accept a mission!”

“Mission: Miss Mermaid’s commission.” Xia Nuo read the words on the parchment,

“Miss Mermaid has lost her beloved necklace. Finding it for her will bring her friendship and rich rewards. Task reward: 100 high-level magic crystals.”

“Remarks: Miss Mermaid is arrogant by nature and doesn’t like strangers entering her mansion.”

After drawing the cards, the little girl took him to a tavern and took off the parchment from the wall of the tavern.

This mission has been released for nearly three months, and the rewards are so rich that no player has yet accepted it

Xia Nuo focused his attention on the line of remarks, and guessed: “Isn’t it because no player has been able to meet her so far?”

There is no description of the necklace on the parchment. If the player can’t meet Miss Mermaid and get information about the necklace, even if they have great skills, they won’t be able to complete the mission.

“Indeed.” The little girl nodded, “Miss Mermaid is not only arrogant but also controls her appearance. She pursues beauty, likes to collect all kinds of beauty products, and also likes beautiful humans and monsters, but it is far from enough to meet only one condition.”

She put her eyes on Xia Nuo’s face and looked at it carefully. Xia Nuo’s scalp was a little numb from her scorching gaze, and only then did she hear her say with a smile:

“The latter condition, little brother, of course, you don’t need to worry about it, not to mention that now that you have the beauty potion, both conditions can be met!”

Xia Nuo belatedly heard that she was complimenting him on his beauty in a disguised form, and couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.

What’s with this terrible feeling of wanting to sell your hue?

There was a thin layer of blush on his face, and in a trance, he seemed to hear an indistinct chuckle coming from his ear.

Xia Nuo and the little girl made an appointment to meet at the tavern tomorrow. The house she rented is very close to here, only one block away.

Xia Nuo sent her to the door and said goodbye to her: “See you tomorrow.”

But the little girl stopped him: “By the way, little brother, when you visit Miss Mermaid’s mansion tomorrow, remember not to bring this crow with you.”

She was referring to the ‘Eye of the Raven’ who was standing on Xia Nuo’s shoulder, looking down at her from a height.

Along the way, its sense of existence has been very low, and Xia Nuo suddenly remembers its existence after being reminded by the little girl.

The little girl explained: “Miss Mermaid doesn’t like birds, and the appearance of crows doesn’t suit her taste.”

She knew that the crow should be a prop for the boy, so she said it more tactfully, but Xia Nuo still understood what she meant.

Does that mean it looks ugly?

Although Xia Nuo thinks that it looks pretty good, it can definitely be regarded as one of the most beautiful men as a crow, but other people’s eyes don’t have filters like his.

The crow seemed to understand the little girl’s words and plunged into Xia Nuo’s arms in an aggrieved manner. The little girl’s eyes met its scarlet eyes inadvertently, and its body stiffened for a moment.

And Xia Nuo, who was busy comforting the crow, didn’t notice anything strange about her.

After saying goodbye, Xia Nuo walked towards Noke Street.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and while walking, he asked the crow who refused to leave in his arms: “Did you remind me when I drew the card just now?”

He remembered that ‘Eye of the Raven’ seemed to have the function of reminding the existence of props?

The crow shook his head, denying his guess.

“Then who is reminding me?” The guess was denied, and Xia Nuo fell into thinking again.

For some reason, he felt that the owner of that voice was not malicious towards him, which was why he wasn’t too worried.

Anyway, it should still appear when drawing cards in the future, right?

Xia Nuo decided to find a time when no one else was present, to see if he could talk to it and ask about its identity.

In the room on the second floor, the little girl looked at Xia Nuo’s back, and the phone line in her hand was twisting around: “I’m going to give up that commission for the time being.”

The other end of the phone seemed to be asking why, and the little girl replied boredly, “Because the target person’s vigilance is too low, there is no challenge, I don’t like it.”

The reason was very perfunctory, but she said it with confidence.

If Xia Nuo saw her at this moment, he would be very surprised. Different from her usual lively and cheerful appearance, her face was cold and indifferent that had never appeared before.

Xia Nuo came to the door of his house at 130 Noke Street.

Not only was the address marked on the card, but it also came with a key. He inserted the key into the lock, and the door opened.

Xia Nuo found the master bedroom in the room on the second floor. After experiencing so many changes in one day and receiving so much information, he also felt a little tired. Seeing the big soft bed, he yawned involuntarily.

But when he was lying on the bed, he struggled to get up as if he remembered something and wrote a greeting post on the long table.

The next day, Xia Nuo and the little girl came to Miss Mermaid’s mansion.

As soon as they stood in front of the door, the guards at the door stopped them. Seeing this scene, both passing players and monsters stopped involuntarily.

Just like what was said on the parchment, Miss Mermaid is arrogant by nature, which has already shut many people’s doors. As time goes by, no one is willing to visit her.

The sudden appearance of these two warriors naturally aroused the crowd’s attention.

Someone reminded them: “I advise you to give up, Miss Mermaid will not let people enter her mansion easily.”

Those who knew the little girl felt that she was not such a reckless person, and she might have other plans, so they decided to stay and wait and see.

Xia Nuo didn’t care about other people’s gazes, and directly handed over the greeting stickers prepared in advance last night and a beautifully packaged gift box to the guard at the door.

“Please help us pass it on to your master.”

Looking at the boy’s earnest eyes, the guard’s expression softened, and his tone became much softer: “Okay, please wait a moment.”

It took more than ten minutes to go there. Seeing that the sun in the sky was getting bigger and stronger, the other guard who stayed at the door also felt that the hope was a little slim, so he couldn’t help persuading him kindly:

“Why don’t you guys come back tomorrow? At this point in time, the master may have other arrangements.”

The implication is that she probably doesn’t have time to receive guests.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

The guards also knew Miss Mermaid’s arrogance but felt that she was more likely to be unwilling to entertain guests, so they chose to ignore it.

At this time, many passers-by watching had dispersed, and they probably felt that they had foreseen the result, so they stopped paying attention to Xia Nuo and the others.

Only a few of them are still here, but they want to watch the excitement more, and some even let out a low laugh.

Xia Nuo heard words such as “don’t listen to persuasion” and “overthinking one’s own strength”.

Another five minutes passed, but he was fine. He was already prepared to be turned away, but the little girl frowned, with an expression of uncertainty on her face.

“How could this be? It’s not at all what I imagined.” She muttered to herself with an expression of disbelief.

“It’s okay, we can come back next time.” Xia Nuo quickly comforted her, seeing that she seemed to have been hit hard.

Before he finished speaking, the guard who went in to report ran over panting, and said something that was beyond everyone’s expectations.

“Master invites you in.”
