How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 296: The Dead Wizard
Chapter 296: Good news (title modified)——
The fact was just as Yun Mu expected, her final result was indeed not very good.

Fortunately, there are only rewards and no punishments in this event. No matter how she plays, she will make a profit in the end.

[Your results were average, not outstanding, but still acceptable. In the end, when you left the shooting club, you had an extra bonus in your pocket.]
[You get the item [Gold Coins]*700]
At least I earned back the money from rolling one designated dice, Yun Mu comforted himself in his heart, and then set the number of another designated dice to 6.

This time, she came to the seaside.

[Under the sunshine, the blue sea is clear and transparent, constantly washing the beach on the shore. This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and free from the troubles of epidemics. Crabs covered with pink shells are moving quickly, trying to stay away from you.

Just as you were about to catch the crab for dinner, the sound of wind chimes caught your attention. Looking in the direction of the sound, you saw an exquisite wooden house built on the beach on the shore. The sign read "Cold Drink Shop", and next to the wooden door below the sign, there was a wooden sign with the words "Open for Business" written on it.

This makes you curious, is there still anyone alive in this plague-stricken city? Or did the owner of this wooden house simply forget about it when he left?
Regardless of the outcome, your curiosity has been aroused. You walk into the cabin, and a cool feeling suddenly hits you. At the same time, a human female notices your arrival. After exclaiming in surprise, she chuckles and asks you why you are here. You——]
[1.I am just a traveler passing by.]
[2. Ask her if there are any cold drinks here?]
[3. Ask her who she is and why she is here.]
No consumption?

Yun Mu was a little surprised that there was no box behind the option indicating the required action points.

Without rushing to make a choice, she first observed the woman in front of her.

The other person looked to be in her thirties, with blond hair that was not well maintained and looked a little haggard. Besides that, she had a long sword hanging from her waist, and the armor on her body did not seem to be decorative.
Could such a person really be the owner of a cold drink shop?
So, this guy is probably also an outsider?
The two just happened to meet in this cottage.

After analyzing the current situation, Yun Mu did not hesitate too much and immediately chose option 2.

Well, she just wanted to have fun.

[“Do you have any cold drinks here?” You sat on the wooden chair in front of the counter, holding your cheek with your hands playfully and asked. After hearing your words, the other party did not seem to be surprised at all, but replied calmly: “Sir, we have no more cold drinks, but the equipment here is quite complete. If you can provide the ingredients, I can make them for you.”

You had a pleasant conversation with the woman, and learned that she was a bounty hunter who just happened to pass through this city. Because the seaside was sparsely populated and there were no signs of plague, she chose to stay here temporarily.

But it is true that cold drinks can be made. The equipment in the store is very complete and it is not difficult to operate. As long as she has the materials, she can make them.

In fact, the woman had tried it before, but she was missing the most crucial ingredient - ice.

For some reason, the store is fully equipped, but there is no ice machine. She guessed that there should be a cold storage nearby, or a natural cave, where ice cubes for making cold drinks can be collected, otherwise it would not make sense that there is no place for an ice machine.]
[1. Take the initiative to find ice cubes. [Consume 20 action points]]
[2. Pretend not to understand the underlying meaning of the other person's words. [Consume 5 action points]]
Isn't there a third option?
Yun Mu complained and spent 500 gold coins to exchange three dice. He then exchanged one of them for 30 action points and chose option one.

She was still somewhat interested in the cold drink. It couldn't be that it was just a drink to satisfy her craving.

[You took the initiative to undertake the task of finding ice. After spending nearly half a day, you finally found a large amount of natural ice in a cave on a small island not far from the coast. You cut off a small part of it and brought it back to the wooden house on the beach.

After the ice cubes are fully supplied, you can finally taste the so-called cold drink. In this regard, you choose——]
[1. Have a glass of [Summer Orange]] (Attack +5)

[2. Have a glass of [Fresh Lemon]] (Spell Strength +5)

[3. Have a cup of [Neon after the rain]] (Random +5 attribute points)
Is it actually a drink item that increases attribute values?
How should I put it? It’s a bit unexpected, but it also feels reasonable.

Out of personal taste, Yunmu prefers orange juice, followed by lemonade. As for this neon after the rain, I have no idea what fruit it is just by looking at the name, asshole!

Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps for some other reason, she finally chose option three.

As for why the choice is based on personal taste rather than the added attributes
Does this need to be said?
In fact, no matter which drink you choose, the final benefit you get is the same, just five attribute points. Yun Mu believes that all attributes are important, so their values ​​are the same and there is no need to worry too much about it.

Of course, the main reason for this is that her attack power and spell strength are already very high, and there is no need to continue to increase these two attributes in a short period of time.

In comparison, random attribute increases would be better.

What if Neon After the Rain can directly provide her with 5 points of critical hit rate?
Wouldn't that be a huge profit?

Just as Yun Mu was thinking this, a cup of matcha-colored juice mixed with milky condensed milk was pushed in front of her.

She picked up the glass and looked at it, and found that in addition to ice cubes, there were also some black fruit seeds that were even smaller than sesame seeds.

"So it's kiwi fruit?" Yun Mu said with some surprise after taking a sip of the juice.

It was the first time for her to drink kiwi flavored juice, and it tasted better than she expected.

[Your maximum health +1, attack power +3, critical hit rate +1%.]
Isn't it that a certain attribute is increased by five points?

Looking at the message prompt that popped up on the game panel, Yun Mu thought in his heart.

She had previously thought that it was a random attribute that was directly increased by 5 points, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.

But then again, this incident ended just like that.
Looking at the changing scene in front of him, Yun Mu thought with some regret.

That cup of "Neon After the Rain" was quite delicious. If possible, she would also like to try the other two cold drinks.

But now it seems that there is no such opportunity.
[You get the item [Cold Drink Making Encyclopedia (White)]]
[This is a book that records dozens of methods of making cold drinks. It is said that the author is the owner of a cold drink shop on the seaside of the Heling Empire. Due to some regrets, her soul still wanders in her own cold drink shop after her death, until a stranger with cat ears on his head comes here.]

The stranger with cat ears on his head. Are you referring to me? Yun Mu took the notebook that fell from the sky in surprise, and the cat ears on his head trembled slightly subconsciously.

Hey, wait
The woman I just met was not a bounty hunter, but the owner of a cold drink shop?

She may have died a long time ago. What Yun Mu encountered was just a resentful soul with obsession.
Hiss, she suddenly realized at this moment. No wonder he said he was a bounty hunter, but he had the skill of making cold drinks. It turned out that guy's identity was a lie to her.

It was just that the outfit was too misleading, which led to her misjudgment.

When Yun Mu thought about the chat she had just had with the ghost, she felt a chill down her spine. There was nothing she could do, she was born with a fear of this kind of thing and couldn't control it.

Unless she catches a little ghost and lets it run wild, then she will realize that these ghosts are actually nothing big.

Rather, what she was afraid of was never ghosts, but just the vague unknown.

Shaking his head, Yun Mu stopped thinking about this matter and opened the cold drink making encyclopedia he had just obtained.

Hmm. Let her see, Banana Pop, Blue Beat, Strawberry Colada, Silver Milkshake. And the three drinks just selected, all have recipes recorded.

However, these are just ordinary fruit juice drinks and will not have the effect of increasing character attributes.

It’s a nice extra bonus. Yunmu personally likes this gift quite a bit.

Yes, a gift. In her opinion, this was a gift given to her by the manager of the cold drink shop. Since it was a gift, she had to cherish it.

I wonder if I can open a chain of beverage stores. If I can make a lot of money from it, hehehe.
cough.

Yun Mu suppressed the smile on his face and threw another designated dice.

There is no doubt that the number six is ​​only halfway to completing the task of everything going smoothly.

This time, Yunmu encountered a special event.
[You pick up a strange lock on the ground. It is intricately inlaid with dozens of wooden strips of different shapes, exuding a unique sense of beauty. There may be something inside, or there may be nothing inside. You decide.]
[1. Find a way to unlock the lock [consume 15 action points]]
[2. Throw it away directly. [Consume 5 action points]]
[3. Violent dismantling! [Consume 30 action points]]
Hey~ Isn’t this a coincidence?

She is good at unlocking locks.

Without any hesitation, when Yun Mu saw the option pop up on the game panel, he immediately consumed 15 action points and chose to open this strange lock.

When she made this choice, part of the structure of the wooden lock that suddenly appeared next to her began to vibrate violently.

This is the effect of the trait [Hand of Unlocking]. It's just that the wooden lock in front of him is quite strong, so he didn't unlock it immediately.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can see the location of the vibration.

Yun Mu fumbled for a moment, and soon a confident smile appeared on his face.

[“Want my treasure? Go find it. I put everything there.” The wooden lock was opened, and you found a piece of paper with the following contents written on it.

It seems to be meaningless. After all, the note does not say where the so-called treasure is finally placed. If you don’t know the location, even if there is a lot of treasure, you will not be able to get it.

You think that you may have missed some information, so you don't know the exact location of the treasure, and that information may be hidden in the note in your hand, or on the wooden lock that you disassembled into the first part.]
[1. Investigate the note. [Consume 5 action points]]
[2. Investigate the wooden lock. [Consume 20 action points]]
[3. The treasure may be fake, and everything is just a prank by others. Choose to give up. [No consumption]]
Let’s continue investigating. After all, we have come this far, so why give up?

Yun Mu decisively converted a dice into an action value, and then chose to investigate the wooden lock.

[You put the wooden lock back together after much effort. However, after you finally put it back together, you found that there were still a few pieces of unknown parts scattered on the ground.
It doesn't matter, after all, you don't really plan to fix it, you just want to investigate, and having an appearance is enough.

Having said that, you have been investigating for nearly two hours and still have not found anything. This makes you doubt whether your investigation direction is correct. You decide]
[1. Investigate the note [consume 5 action points]]
[2. It’s not too late to give up now. [No consumption]]
[3. Continue to fight. [Consume 30 action points]]
After investigating for so long and still not finding anything, what's the point of trying so hard? Yun Mu decisively chose option 1 and investigated the note.

[You place your hope on the piece of paper, but no matter whether you use fire or soak it in water, you cannot reveal the secret hidden on the piece of paper. On the contrary, because of your messing around, this piece of paper, which is just an ordinary white paper, is completely destroyed, and only the final touch is left.

Just when you want to give up, you suddenly discover that in the center of the note, this note is actually made up of three very thin pieces of paper stacked on top of each other!
The middle layer of paper is waterproof, and the words on it are very short - just break the wooden lock and you will get all my treasures.

As tempting as it sounds, it’s good that you haven’t lost your mind.

Following the instructions, you smashed the wooden lock without holding back, and found the treasure location record in the hollow of a wooden bar.]
[You get the item [Gold Coins]*12000.]
Twelve thousand gold coins!
Yun Mu clenched his fists excitedly, not knowing whether all adventure challenge areas were so generous, or whether the expert-level dungeons themselves would give out such a huge amount of gold coins.

There was just one thing she could be absolutely sure of.

After she leaves this adventurous and challenging area, there should be enough gold coins to upgrade Lucy.

This is absolutely great news.
