Chapter 55: Poor Little Laurie

Lori: "I withdrew all the money Mr. gave to Mom and Dad ... I spent their money by living at home and not going to work."

"Then why don't you go to work?" Chen Ming returned casually.

Lori's face darkened, "I, I've had a leg disability since then, I can't walk, so ... but it's gotten a lot better lately, I've been saving for a few years on a part-time job on the Internet, and I was able to buy a game helmet for Glory."

"Not only can I run now, I can also make money!"

Chen Ming fell silent.

No wonder Lori Level 1 was so helpless when she realized that she had no skills and was disliked by the crowd.

No wonder she was so happy after giving her that little bit of sweetness that she was so focused on herself.

For most people, fame is a game.

For Lori, it was the hope of life and a whole new experience of being able to walk.

"When today's copy is finished, why don't you go pick some more herbs and pay according to the previously negotiated price." Although Chen Ming followed the original price, he actually secretly decided to give more in his heart.

Treating a self-supporting, well-behaved child like Lori and showing her respect was far better than showing his pity in the past.

"Alright, sir, I will definitely gather herbs carefully!"

"It's great to meet you, sir!"

"Since I gave Daddy four thousand five hundred dollars before, he hasn't beaten me in two years, and Mommy hasn't scolded me in two years!"

"And I get to eat meat when I eat at the table!"

Lori lifted her head and gave Chen Ming a shy smile.

Chen Ming read pure happiness and joy in her eyes.

Spanking?

Spanked?

Eat meat?

As Chen Ming listened to the harsh words and then looked at Lori's innocent smile, his heart unexpectedly ached for no reason.

He suddenly understood why Lori, such a powerful Dragon Priest, hadn't made a halfway decent name for herself in her previous life....

In a family like that, it wasn't even easy to make a living.

If Lori hadn't met herself and found out that the game was completely unprofitable ..., would her parents have let her keep playing?

The answer was no.

Chen Ming was silent for a long time, but in the end, he had no words to respond to Lori's genuine smile.

In the end, he took the orange Epic Prop Cultivation Furnace that Lori had traded.

Then he silently punched ten thousand dollars into Lori's card.

Originally, he wanted to reach one million in one breath.

However, he was afraid that this real girl would take all one million to her unworthy parents and cheapen them for nothing, causing them to double their greed and do something unimaginably bad to Lori.

Whether it was squeezing Lori to make money, or finding herself through Lori and causing trouble for herself.

Neither was something Chen Ming wanted to see.

Sometimes, doing good deeds also required brains.

"This ten thousand dollars is your hard-earned fee for helping me take down this prop .... Don't refuse, this prop can be sold for less than tens of millions of dollars, giving you a 0.1% draw, you're just stealing your joy." Chen Ming was deliberately being mean.

When Lori heard this, she put her heart down and thanked Chen Ming beautifully over and over again.

She had never seen a five-figure sum in her life!

"Did you learn the Priest's skill [Improvement] when you reached level 10?"

Chen Ming didn't want to continue with this heavy topic and cut to today's purpose.

Enhancement Art was a buff that priests could learn at level 10.

Its effect was to increase the effect of a certain skill of a teammate.

For example, a thief's stealth.

When blessed by the enhancement technique, the black shadow left behind by the Thief's Sneak would fade quite a bit.

If Chen Ming wanted to go to this copy and steal the treasure of a level 25 boss, he would have to accept the blessing of the [Enhancement Technique]..... Moreover, it couldn't be an ordinary enhancement technique blessing.

It had to be something more advanced.

Just like the [Improvement Technique] that Longmu Loli possessed!

"You can learn [Enhancement] from your mentor ..., but I didn't." Lori was a bit perplexed at this point.

Chen Ming understood as soon as he heard it.

This girl must be heartbroken over the 5 silver coins to learn the skill.

After all, 5 silver coins was equivalent to 500 dollars, Lori couldn't even afford a 50 cent return ticket to the city to learn a 500 dollar skill, wouldn't that kill her?

"You're my dedicated priest, I'll pay for all your skill costs from now on, after all, I'm the one enjoying your buffs, right? Go learn the skills."

Chen Ming directly exchanged ten silver coins.

The priest was level 10 and could also learn two skills.

Soon, Lori arrived at the Adventurer's Guild and finished learning the skills.

Not surprisingly for Chen Ming, after learning the skills, the same thing happened to him - the skills produced a mutation!

"Sir, I... It seems that my skill has gone wrong again." Lori panicked, with a crying voice, "[Enhancement Technique] turned into [Dragonborn Holy Word - Enhancement], Holy Light Technique turned into [Dragonborn Holy Word - Holy Light] ..."

"I'm sorry, sir."

"I didn't mean to... ..."

"I-I don't know what's going on either."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry ... for wasting another ten silver coins, sir."

Listening to Chen Ming, he felt another pang of heartache.

You really don't need to be so humble ah ...

Chen Ming revealed a gentle smile and rubbed Lori's head, "Don't be afraid, these skills are just because you're a Hidden Profession and have gained evolution on your own."

"You didn't waste my money, instead you gave me a windfall."

Only then did Lori calm down a bit, nodding her zero head with a palpitating heart.

Let Lori try the effect of the skill.

Sure enough, just as Chen Ming had expected, both of their skills had received quite a large increase.

Compared to the skills of an ordinary priest, the difference was huge.

"The enhancement technique advanced version of [Dragonborn Holy Word - Enhancement], coupled with my stealth advanced version of [Phantom Shadow]..." Chen Ming smiled confidently.

He believed that he could get what he wanted from the copy!

Bring Lori to the west of the city.

There was a tablet here.

On it, there were some bounty quests from Qingfeng City that would be released from time to time.

And at the very top of the bulletin board, there was a bright red bounty hanging.

"Reward for cleaning the [Poisonous Swamp Dark Marsh]!"

"Reward for warriors who go to the [Poison Swamp Dark Marsh] to clean up a bunch of poisonous creatures and receive a generous reward upon completion!"

"Copy-type quest, limit: 10 people!"

Crowds were already gathering here at the reward board.

As soon as Chen Ming showed his face, he attracted countless gazes.

And when he reached out and touched the top of the bulletin board, the bright red text of the reward task ...

The light flashed.

Chen Ming and Lori were instantly sucked in!

At that moment, the people around them immediately shouted.

"Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup Big Brother is going to challenge this copy?"

"Geez, how come he only brought one person?"

"A two-person challenge for this copy? Isn't that death seeking?"

"The difficulty of this copy is much higher than the previous [Calamity Armageddon], isn't the big brother of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup just asking for death?"

Although Qingfeng City was the lowest level 5 capital city, there were at least four to five hundred players from the surrounding novice villages.

Almost all of these players who could come to Qingfeng City at this time were experts and the backbone of certain guilds.

And after being witnessed by such a group of players.

The news that Chen Ming had brought Lori, and that the two of them had killed their way into the copy of [Poison Swamp Dark Marsh] spread ... .

It soon reached the ears of all the major guild leaders!
