Chapter 1079 It’s hard to bear the kindness of a beautiful woman

"Ding, wealth and memory have been cleared"

"I'm so stupid, really, how could I believe the words of a beautiful woman?"

"The designated scenario "The Lord of the Rings" begins"

"Fuck, if I meet this kind of elf, will I live a few years less? This is the nth time I've been washed away."

Li Jingling, however, was outside watching Zhao Wuji, whose expression was gradually relaxing, and said to himself: "Go through it a few more times and see if you can get the elves' blessing. That will be helpful for exploring the parallel earth."

When Zhao Wuji opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a forest of silver light. He looked down at himself - slender figure, long golden hair, and the elf longbow in his hand. Even more incredible was that his ears had turned into pointed elf ears.

"Where is this?" The voice of the man muttering to himself sounded particularly clear in the silent forest.

[Ding! Welcome to bind the "Extra Security System". The host has successfully traveled to the world of "The Lord of the Rings" and is an elf archer in Mirkwood (nameless).]

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Oh," Zhao Wuji looked around. This forest seemed unreal - silver vines were entwined on the towering ancient trees, the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers, and the faint singing of elves could be heard in the distance.

[The host must complete any of the following conditions to return to the real world: 1. The plot ends naturally; 2. Earn 1000000 gold coins. The system will guarantee the basic safety of the host as an extra, but the host is prohibited from modifying the original plot line. ]

Zhao Wuji's brain was a little confused. His last memory was to curse Li Jingling a few words? He became an elf extra without even a name?

"Wait, system, what time is it now? Has the Fellowship of the Ring set out?" he asked anxiously.

[The current time point is three days before the Council of Elrond. The host is located at the eastern border patrol of Mirkwood. ]

Zhao Wuji quickly recalled the plot of The Lord of the Rings in his mind. The Council of Elrond! That means Frodo has just arrived in Rivendell, and the Fellowship of the Ring has not yet been formed. He still has a chance!

"System, what will happen if I try to change the main storyline?"

[Serious warning: Any attempt to change the main storyline will result in system penalties, including but not limited to: painful electric shocks, skill seals, gold coin deductions, and the most serious ones will be permanently detained in this world. ]

Zhao Wuji swallowed his saliva. It seemed that he could not show off his skills like other protagonists in time-travel novels. But on second thought, since he knew the direction of the plot, he might be able to profit from it.

“What skills does my Elf Archer have?”

[Host's current skills: Elven Archery (Lv3), Basic Elven Language (Lv5), Mirkwood Survival Skills (Lv2). The system mall is now open, and you can use gold coins to purchase skills or items. ]

A translucent interface appeared in front of Zhao Wuji's eyes, displaying his basic information:

Name: Zhao Wuji (elf form)

Race: Sindar Elf

Occupation: Member of the Mirkwood Border Patrol

Gold Coins: 50 (initial funds)

Skills: As above

Special items: none

"Only 50 gold coins?" It seems I have to find a way to make money.

As he was studying the system, he heard footsteps in the distance. A blond elf walked lightly from the woods. It was Legolas Greenleaf himself!

"The patrol is over, let's go back to the palace." Legolas said to Zhao Wuji and several other elf patrol members.

Zhao Wuji resisted the urge to ask questions and followed the team toward the Elf King's palace. Along the way, he carefully observed this fantasy world that he had only seen in movies - the real Mirkwood was more magnificent than on the screen, the ancient trees seemed to whisper with life, and the air was filled with the breath of magic.

After arriving at the palace, the elves disbanded to rest. Zhao Wuji was assigned to a simple but elegant tree house. He sat in front of the window, looking at the banquet held by the elves in the distance, thinking about his situation. "Not being able to change the main plot means that I can't prevent Boromir's death, and I can't warn Gandalf about the crisis in Moria in advance." He murmured to himself, "But I can profit from it! For example, place a bet at the right time, or prepare some valuable goods in advance"

A bold plan took shape in his mind. The Council of Elrond was about to be held, and all the important people would gather in Rivendell. If he could open a small shop there, specializing in selling elven crafts to human visitors,

[Warning: The host's idea involves using plot knowledge to make a profit, so you need to carefully evaluate whether it will affect the main plot. It is recommended to consult the system before taking action. ]

Zhao Wuji raised his eyebrows: "System, I just want to open a small shop to make money. It will not affect Frodo's mission to destroy the ring."

[After evaluation: Purely commercial behavior does not affect the main plot and is allowed to be executed. However, it is prohibited to disclose future information to key figures. ]

The next morning, Zhao Wuji found the patrol captain and asked for a short leave to go to Rivendell.

"Why do you suddenly want to go there?" the captain asked puzzledly.

"I heard that an important meeting will be held there soon, and I want to meet the representatives of various ethnic groups." Zhao Wuji answered cautiously.

The captain pondered for a moment: "Okay, but you must return within ten days. The border has been unstable recently."

After getting the permission, Zhao Wuji immediately packed up his simple luggage and set off. Before leaving, he noticed that an archery competition was being held in the palace square. An idea flashed through his mind - maybe he could win some start-up funds through the competition.

"System, how many gold coins do I need to upgrade my Elf Archery?"

[It takes 3 gold coins to upgrade Elf Archery from Lv4 to Lv100, but the host does not have enough funds. ]

Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth and walked towards the registration office. "I want to participate."

The rules of the game are simple - the one who shoots the farthest target with three arrows wins. Zhao Wuji stood behind a group of elf archers, his palms sweating. His current archery level is only average among elves.

When it was his turn, he took a deep breath, drew his bow and drew his arrow. The first arrow missed the center of the target by two inches; the second arrow was better, only one inch off; the third arrow -

"Swoosh!" The arrow flew through the air and hit the bull's eye!

Polite applause rang out around him. Zhao Wuji barely squeezed into the top ten and received a reward of 20 gold coins. Although it was not much, with the initial capital, he now had 70 gold coins.

"Not enough," he thought, and suddenly noticed a small gambling game next to the game, betting on who would win the final championship.

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. He remembered that Legolas was one of the best archers in Mirkwood in the movie. He squeezed into the crowd and bet all 70 gold coins on Legolas.

"Are you sure?" The dealer was an old elf with wrinkles on his face. "His Majesty Thranduil is also participating in the competition today."

Zhao Wuji nodded firmly: "I'm sure."

The competition was extremely intense. As Zhao Wuji expected, the final was between Legolas and Thranduil. In the last round, Legolas narrowly defeated his father by one arrow.

"The odds are 1:5, here are your 350 gold coins." The dealer reluctantly counted out the gold coins and handed them to Zhao Wuji.

Holding the heavy purse, Zhao Wuji smiled sincerely for the first time since he traveled through time. The first step of the plan was successful!

That afternoon, he took the start-up capital and set off for Rivendell. What he didn't know was that Legolas was standing high up in the palace, looking at his departing back thoughtfully.

"That elf, his eyes don't look like those of our people." Legolas whispered to himself, "It's as if he has seen many things that we don't know."
