After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

"as you wish."

With a click, the wooden door opened.

After the door opened, the magic sensor lights embedded in the wall lit up one by one. Under the dim blue light, a downward staircase appeared in front of Xu Mu.

The elf's voice was erratic, sometimes coming from in front of him, sometimes from behind. She continued, "Master, after your save file was damaged, all your belongings disappeared. The King of Eternal Solitude copied the valuables and placed them in this basement. You can use them as you wish."

"?!"

Is there such a good thing?

Xu Mu opened his mouth, frowned, and said, "Why didn't she tell me about this earlier? I almost knelt down for three gold coins today, don't you know?"

"..."

The elf was silent for a moment, then timidly asked, "Master, is this my fault?"

"It's my fault! Okay?"

"I-that's not what I meant, Master!"

I don't blame you.

Don't be afraid.

Chapter 19 #019 Comrade!

Xu Mu walked down the stairs step by step and saw the appearance of the basement clearly.

What a big basement.

The area is almost the same as the entire residential land. When Xu Mu first saw it, he thought it was an underground garage.

Several rows of shelves were arranged on the spotless floor, with weapons and equipment placed on the shelves in an orderly manner.

It was not obvious from the icon in the game, but when the real objects were spread out like this, Xu Mu discovered that—

It turns out he got so many things.

The elf said, "I have sorted the master's things by category. If the master doesn't like it, I can rearrange it."

Xu Mu was stunned and asked, "How do you organize it? Do you have a physical body?"

"I have no physical form. I am a will created by the King of Eternal Solitude. Within this basement, I am a god, able to interfere with reality with my thoughts. You do not need to worry about the safety of the objects stored here."

"...The God of the Basement?"

The elf was silent for a moment. "It may not sound very nice... but it is true. I am the God of the Basement, and I cannot influence the world outside the basement."

"It's all good, no need to move."

Xu Mu walked to the shelf and looked at it carefully.

There are a total of one hundred shelves here, and the first seventy or eighty are empty, with nothing on them.

The remaining dozen or so shelves are filled with sets of weapons and equipment.

Seeing these things, Xu Mu couldn't help feeling nostalgic.

During the three years of gaming, he paid great attention to equipment and collected many legendary weapons, including some blessed artifacts and cursed magic weapons that existed only in legends.

Among them, there are some very effective ones -

Highly functional items such as Fool's Face, Repair Hammer, Void Orb, Fireproof Cape, etc.

There are also some that are completely useless——

The guaranteed-hit arrows, the World Tree Staff, the Book of Many Tongues, and other equipment are not suitable for Xu Mu.

Regardless of whether they can be used or not, these things have one characteristic: they are expensive.

Noble and expensive.

Whatever he took out would immediately become the focus of the dinner. Those who knew the business would give him a thumbs-up, look at him with admiration, and praise him for being "generous".

If an auction were held now, inviting all the legendary adventurers and top collectors on the Blue Planet to visit this basement, Xu Mu would probably become a well-known figure in the collecting world.

of course.

Xu Mu would not easily sell the things here.

Gold coins are easy to earn, but treasures are rare.

Who would pawn their jewelry or sell their land unless they were desperate? Wouldn't that be a waste?

After looking around, Xu Mu pulled out a dagger covered with gems and put it on his waist. He said to the air, "Elf, are you there?"

The elf quickly responded: "Master, I am here."

"I remember I had a lot of materials. Where are my materials?"

"I'm sorry, Master. The King of Eternal Solitude didn't think those materials were of much value, so he didn't reproduce them."

Xu Mu looked up at the ceiling and said, "Can you tell her to make a replica? Those are very expensive. If they are sold, they will fetch at least a hundred gold coins."

The elf's voice was filled with caution. "Master, each piece of your equipment costs over a thousand gold coins. The rarest ones are in high demand."

"..."

I can't bear to sell it.

Equipment is different from materials. Equipment is not consumable.

Forget it.

Xu Mu was particularly satisfied with the profession of Underworld Fighter.

If those materials are gone, they are gone. I don’t care.

Xu Mu continued, "Elf, what else can you do for me? Or rather, why did the King of Eternal Solitude place you by my side? Are you just here to act as a security guard?"

The elf replied, "I am here to assist you, Master. Due to a corrupted save file, you did not inherit auxiliary skills like medicine making and blacksmithing. My role is to perform those auxiliary skills on your behalf."

Oh?

Xu Mu looked at the workbench in the basement and asked, "On this table?"

The elf replied, "Yes."

really?

Xu Mu said, "Can you perform now?"

The elf's voice was somewhat serious. "Yes, Master. I have the ingredients for the 'Boiling Blood Potion'. It will be very helpful in helping you unleash the power of the 'Underworld Warrior'."

An invisible hand...

In other words, the scene was like a person wearing an invisibility cloak and making medicine. Xu Mu saw the instruments and raw materials on the table constantly flying up and down.

Mash, grind and boil juice.

Finally, it was combined into twelve bottles of blood-red potion, which was the boiling blood potion.

Xu Mu picked up the bottle, observed its quality, and smelled it.

The elf's voice was a little nervous: "Master, how is it?"

It's amazing.

Earthling Xu Mu didn't know how to make medicine at all. At best, he had diluted sulfuric acid and used potassium permanganate to produce oxygen in chemistry class.

But after coming to the Blue Star, he mastered a lot of knowledge that did not belong to him.

Just by looking at the color, he immediately thought: "It's clear and bright, looks like gelatin, and looks great."

Taking another sniff, he realized, "A rich, refreshing floral fragrance, with almost no trace of the raw material, volcanic sulfur. First-rate quality."

He put the potion in his backpack and said, "First-rate, elf, you are amazing."

"...Master is amazing. I inherited your skill level, and no matter how well I perform, I can never surpass you."

You are so polite!

He looked into the air and said, "Elf, I have something to discuss with you."

"Master, tell me."

"Don't call me Master anymore, and don't be so polite with 'you'. We'll be together for a long time, so let's be more casual with each other. Just call me 'comrade'."

"what……"

The elf hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Is this okay? Master, comrade."

Xu Mu smiled and said, "That's great. We're all unfortunate people who were harmed by the King of Eternal Loneliness. That woman has no moral principles. After being defeated by me, she dragged me here to suffer. What do you call this?"

"..."

Elf, don't dare to say a word.

Xu Mu was talking nonsense over there, frantically making up stories about the King of Eternal Loneliness, but that was because he was not afraid.

But the elves are afraid.

Xu Mu turned around and asked, "Do you have a way to contact the King of Eternal Solitude?"

"Comrade, I can't."

Xu Mu asked again, "King of Eternal Loneliness...what on earth did you ask me to come for? Just to travel and relax?"

"This... I'm not sure either."

Okay, okay.

If someone knows nothing about anything, there’s no point in continuing the conversation.

Xu Mu stood up and said, "Elf, please write down the potions you can make now and the raw materials needed. I'll come get them tomorrow. Your ability shouldn't be wasted. We can find an opportunity to make some rare potions and sell them for money, which can also be considered an income."

The elf replied, "I would be happy to do so, comrade."

"Good night."

"Good night, comrade"

Chapter 20 #020 Why does everything cost money?

Xu Mu had a quick sleep and woke up in the afternoon.

He scratched his head, forced himself to get up, and after eating, he completed the registration for the "Adventurer's Cup" at the Adventurer's Association.

The teller still remembered him. She was a little surprised and said, "Sir... you really earned three gold coins? How did you do it?"

Xu Mu remained calm: "Do you know about loan sharking?"

"Eh?"

"The loan shark who eats people."

“Hey hey——”

The teller looked at Xu Mu with a deadly gaze. She hesitated and said, "You... went to borrow money from the 'Black Gold Party'?"

Xu Mu didn't say much to her: "I want to see the full schedule of the Adventurer's Cup."

"Ah. This is the brochure. Please keep it. Also, do you see that 'Strongest Duel Hall' across from the Association? If you want to experience the 'Holy Spirit Duel' and the 'Duel Chamber', you can go check it out."

After the teller finished the formalities, he handed over a bag of documents and a number tag.

Xu Mu took it and sat down at the table in the guild hall, studying the competition rules.

The Adventurer's Cup has been held for more than a hundred times, and the competition system is very complete.

People like Xu Mu must first participate in the "regional competition".

The rules of the regional competition are quite strange. All players have to participate in a "speed race" together. The top two players who finish the race the fastest will go to the ring to fight. The winner wins the "regional competition" and enters the Adventurer Cup competition.

The entire process must be completed within one day, and contestants cannot leave the duel cabin during the process, otherwise it will be regarded as abandoning the competition.

The competition format of the main competition is relatively simple.

The eight players who emerged from the regional competition were drawn into groups and then played three more games to determine the champion.
