I thought. On the one hand, eight hundred credits is not enough, but on the other hand, it’s just killing castars, all the more I don’t lose anything, I just need to kill them.- A thousand credits and the whole drop goes to me.He hesitated for a moment, but waved his hand and said:- I agree.- That's great, now I'll throw the bill.- Instead of credits, will you take zen? Ten thousand. You can easily exchange with corporations for the same thousand.“Okay,” I agreed.Perhaps it’s even better this way: I don’t have to explain where a thousand loans were transferred to my account from, and whether I sold something on the side, bypassing corporations.I threw a request to enter the group, the guy immediately accepted and handed me the leadership. A small inscription "Galldin" appeared in the corner.- Interesting name.- It was my online nickname, but I liked it so much that I replaced my name with it. So now, in all documents and databases, I am Galldin.- Why didn't you like your na

- All right, it's the past.We are sitting on a fallen tree at the edge of the forest. Ahead is a huge field, on which castars grow at a short distance from each other. The bright sun hung in the middle of the sky, and it seems that the "flowers" of the castars instinctively, like sunflowers, turned to him, opening their mouths, as if wanting either to devour the rays they send, or the sun itself.- I hope now you understand how dangerous this world is?“Yes, quite,” he assured me.- Well, since you understand everything, then do not break into trouble. Sometimes it's better to run away.“And you still need to find loyal and strong comrades like you,” he suddenly said.I chuckled.- Yes, it will be easier and more profitable with friends. But don't count on me, I play solo.- That's how? It's a pity. Tim, you are very strong. I managed to see strong fighters, but I meet a magician for the first time. And I will say for sure that of those that I have seen, you are the strongest. Perhap

- That's it, continue for another twenty minutes, - looking over his shoulder, said Alast.“Yes, teacher,” I replied humbly, but mentally grimaced.On the one hand, it seems that I am wasting my time instead of farming mobs, but on the other hand, in games, crafting is almost always more profitable than simple farming. However, it’s the same in life - it’s easier to carry bags of coal than to write programs and design aircraft, but it’s clear that an engineer or programmer earns more than a loader.Finally, after half an hour, only a small fine powder, similar to flour, remained.- Excellent. Now onto the scales. We need ten grams of powder and twenty grams of slime residue.I took a small spoon, scooped up “flour”, suddenly an inscription appeared above it: “22 grams of powder from the castar stem” .I raised my eyebrows in surprise.“We won’t need scales,” I said, shaking the spoon a little, dropping extra grams.As soon as it was ten, I turned to Alast.- Here's ten grams.The alch

- And where is your friend now? I asked cautiously.- Over the ridges, in the outside world. Now we are cut off from it by goblins, so the only communication is either through magic crystals, or, when they are not available, like this - through mail karshans.Interesting. It turns out that there are faults in the outside world. That is, theoretically there are tunnellers who came out of them and now calmly walk around the outside world? Be that as it may, the presence of faults that are beyond the control of corporations is a very interesting thing.- And where did he find this gap? I asked.“Hmm… I’ll show you now,” he said.The alchemist moved to the back of the room, where there was a bookcase. Alast returned with a large bundle. It turned out to be a map depicting some country. I took a closer look, one of the areas is similar to the one in which we are.The area of the Kingdom of Santonia has been discovered.It's that simple. It is enough to see the map and the "fog of war" th

Advanced Alchemy.From these words, I felt my back covered with sweat, but I restrained myself and did not let fear show on my face, remaining outwardly calm."I haven't found out yet who might have it," I said.Eugene looked at me for a few moments, causing my forehead to sweat, but due to the fact that the room is dim, my condition is not visible.“Something tells me you haven’t really looked for it.- Of course, I didn't look specifically. I follow rumors, but doing this is like looking for a person in an unfamiliar residential complex, not knowing his name and appearance. If there were clues, then I would somehow be able to move forward in this matter, and walking around and asking everyone: “Do you have an artifact” is a waste of time."Yes, I agree," Yuuji said after a short pause. “Still, Tim, I don’t trust you. You are clearly hiding something from me. Those four and a half thousand that you earned, exactly all that you took out of the rift?“Yes,” I lied without batting an ey

I wonder if they will work in our world? Because if so, then improving the properties of materials using alchemical means is a breakthrough, as well as a big profit. I really should have gone straight to alchemy, though... given that the training costs a decent amount and the ingredients are not that easy to get, I probably did the right thing by focusing on leveling and getting the initial funds first, and only after that deciding to take up one of the crafts.“As you can see, alchemy is needed for many things in the world, just like magic. Has your head been spinning yet? he asked, smiling.“Yes, to be honest, I went,” I admitted. - I have a question. How to determine which ingredient is suitable for which potion. For example, which ingredient is suitable for a fire magic protection potion, and which, for example, enhances your fire magic?- Oh, it's simple. All alteration potions are made with a primary or two primary ingredients and a secondary. For example, salamander blood. It c

- That is, potentially strong warriors have more resistance to poisons and other potions of destruction?- Right. So where to start? You can make a potion that turns into mist, and oil, and even a powerful acid.With these words, he took out various jars with liquids, powders and other things from the magical space.At that moment, a bell rang. Alast frowned and looked out the window.- Wait a bit, I have a client.- Of course, teacher.He quickly left, leaving me with the ingredients. As soon as I looked at the substance in front of me, an inscription appeared, what it is, but without any explanation. Here and the drool of some monsters, and dry herbs, and even charcoal.My eyes fell on a jar of dry, powdered salamander blood. Slightly reddish, like spices, it beckons my eye, but its properties are unknown. If I remember correctly, Alast was talking about a book with ingredients. I wonder if there is information about the blood of a salamander in it?I looked out the window. Alast co

“The price is more than sixty thousand zen, and the power is about equal to a fireball,” Alast summed up. - As an experiment it is interesting, but in practice it is useless and expensive.I just chuckled. Here the alchemist is right. And I was dreaming at first. And not just to firearms, but to real machine guns. But here the gunpowder needs to be more powerful and it will be necessary to build several factories, one of which is for the production of cartridges. At the same time, the cartridges will be "gold" ... no, even "platinum", and the effectiveness, in comparison with spells, is doubtful. Perhaps someday in the future they will find a way to quickly and in large quantities to extract the blood of salamanders, which will help reduce the cost of producing gunpowder at least ten times, and then it will still be unprofitable. Here you need to reduce the price even hundreds, or even thousands of times. Because one grenade is equal in power to a fireball, but even at a price of six

- And if you just give the crossbow? Yura murmured.- On the one hand, the possession of this crossbow is really a big hemorrhoids, - Genghis Khan nodded, - and on the other hand, incredible luck and a chance to get out of this world twenty years earlier. But in order to take advantage of this chance, you don’t have to “wait for the weather by the sea”, but take “hands in feet” and go, as these boobies say - swing.“But it doesn’t seem so bad here,” Zhenya said thoughtfully. “At least as long as the said Guardians are pleased with you.Genghis Khan shook his head.- You know, I envy you a little: the first ten years in this world are in many ways a happy time, albeit full of severe trials. But man is a complex creature, not only pain and suffering move us forward. With every year spent in this place, indescribable nostalgia, longing, longing for the place lying there ahead will grow stronger in you.

Gather brother!True, what does the philosopher have to do with it and where to take the mentioned lads, the gopnik did not specify.Genghis Khan sighed, snapped a cunning crossbow from his belt, put the weapon on the bed next to Tuen, and he himself took a free chair, of which there were several in the room, put it next to the bed, sat down and, raising his hand, waved to everyone:- Hi.Kolya, meanwhile, was blushing like cancer, realizing that he was slightly frostbitten.- Valuable advice "on the track", - Genghis Khan continued, - if the Guardians offer something, it is better to agree. But do not rush to do what is proposed according to their scenario: these guys will definitely try to drag you into the very ass. Try to work with your head and go to your goal in your own way. Which, of course, will not always succeed.What are martial skills? - Zhenya immediately clarified the information on the reward for the quest.Genghis Khan, without getting u

Your mother's time in this world is coming to an end.Guardians offer you a task:Reach Ozatorga in the company of the lost ones who will leave the city in the near future, and we, the Guardians, will ensure your meeting with your mother.The consequence accompanying the acceptance of the task is the acquisition of a special status, the temporary inclusion of lost souls in the system.1) Accept the task.2) Reject the job.**Of course, she should have consulted with her father, but Erita immediately realized that all this was superfluous, since she made her choice at the moment when she read the text to the end. Having experimented a little, she chose the desired menu item:**1) Accept the task.**In vain did the girl think that her misadventures were over, the event that happened a moment later divided her whole life into before and after.

Dietrich, having analyzed his part of the work, was frankly depressed. Since Paul and Genghis Khan got formidable, but, in fact, single targets, and his opponents "spread" over a very large area. Fortunately, this square was constantly squeezed by the city guard, but they also added new hemorrhoids - as if not to knock down someone outside and not to spoil valuable property.Without hindrance, passing the place of deployment of the defenders of the city, the German hurriedly walked out to the port facilities. Stopping in the middle of a dark port street, he assessed the situation. At the moment, the "front line" between the pirates and the defenders of the city passed in a place where hangars and warehouses tightly adjacent to each other ended and residential buildings began. The port was a semi-closed territory, into which several wide streets led, but at the same time, various small streets and lanes were completely absent. At night, guards were stationed at the exits of the port, w

Genghis Khan was rapidly approaching the western coast. Having parted with his comrades, he did not want to go down to the ground and was now moving towards his goal using exclusively the city roofs. In practice, jumping on tiles had two subtleties: first, it was necessary not to ruin the roof during repulsion, and second, it was necessary not to ruin it when landing. The one mentioned was bad. And the man consoled himself with the hope that for the sake of a great cause, a mountain of broken tiles would be forgiven him. Having shortened the path in this way and at the same time assessed the situation in the city, he very soon found himself on the coast.Here, standing by the embankment, Genghis Khan pulled back his sleeve from his wrist, revealing to the night an elegant silver bracelet covered with dense rows of reddish runes. Giving the artifact a mental command, he began to patiently peer into the darkness of the sea. Finally, the pirate ship snapped back with another salvo, revea

Fizruk disappeared. In his place, another, already middle-aged actor from a film about a sophisticated cannibal appeared, who ate other actors and especially loved gelatinous brains. And Yura was afraid of this actor.- Why not? The task of the Final Set is to help you get through the path to the end, to give strength that is inaccessible at the current level of development. Our meeting was not without fate, but if she drags you, then she only gives me strong advice, so don’t be arrogant. There was a place and commonality: it's funny - you and I are similar in a certain set of emanations, as a lion and a kitten are similar. And the last of the weighty ones - for some reason I wanted to play on the nerves of Vega and Zegero. Vega is the bearded man who gave the green light to your possession of the Fourth Treasure of Darkness. He and Zegero run the show here. Vega is nothing less than a galaxy, but not the one you think of. Zegero is the largest black hole in observable space. And a ra

- Good question, bad answer. Your shattered head will provoke her into attacking the blackbeard. She will snatch out a cunning stiletto that is hidden in her belt and try to drive twenty centimeters of death under the shoulder blade of the leader of the pirates. But, alas, the weight categories are too different: a short blow, and after the third bullet today. Trite, sad, but true.- Can I do something?!The "actor" thoughtfully touched his chin with his hand, and then issued:- And why, maybe it's better to go home, at the computer ...- How is it, home? Yura didn't understand.- Yes, it's very simple. Here you are, and here you are at home, celebrating your luck from the bow knocked out of the boss, lazily brushing off offers to sell it, or join a new community of players more worthy of you. What is it called, “flock” it seems, but no, in another way - “clan”. Well, what a mess in your Sharapov head, - and Kukuruz looked at the hitman with a look, as if he was going to sew a shirt f

Pondering the plan of action, Yura became despondent. The reason for despondency, as is often the case, lay in the details. First, the current fence turned out to be quite high, about the height of a man, and metal spiers stuck out on top of this fence, not very sharp, but a piece of hoodie can easily be left. Secondly, the road between the residence and the territory of the garden, in which the “guerrilla-scout” sat down, was very well lit. And now, carefully parting the branches of the bush, the young man clearly saw the bustle of armed men in the courtyard of the building he needed.“What did I get here at all! Although no, it’s clear what’s useful: it’s likely that Erita really has problems. The question is, how can I, a fool, solve these problems ... ”the hit man groaned to himself and began to think about how, if not to solve the problems, then at least not to produce new ones.Alas, the thinker did not generate anything worthwhile.

In a pant, another kilometer and a half flew by, during which it became clear that there was not so much left of the former Yura in him, at least bodily. He couldn’t run more than a kilometer before, and “run” is not quite the right word, “puff” was more suitable. However, the current Yura was far from the condition of a super hero, which is why he was incredibly out of breath.Suddenly, "the scenery changed" and the young man ended up in the area of posh mansions of wealthy citizens. The mansions were located in even rows, which were separated from the road by low bars. The road itself was illuminated by frequent, but not very bright gas lamps. A sort of holiday village of extra-class. And now, only two hundred meters separated from the beginning of the nobility district to the residence of the lord of the hitman. Just run a little forward, turn left and go out to the large ornate gates of the monastery of the local ruler. What Yura immediately decided to do. And he almost fell i
