Chapter 8: The Chief's Mandate
Liu Lu returned to the village unintentionally and continued to look for NPCs to take on the mission, and finally she chose to try her luck with the village chief, and it would be best if she could receive the task. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She walked into the courtyard of the village chief's house, a very ordinary brick house, the chimney on the roof was constantly spitting out black smoke, and someone was cooking. There is a large cypress tree on the south side of the courtyard, and the village chief sits on a stone bench under the tree, and there is a pot of tea and a game of chess on the stone table.
Liu Lu didn't intend to go directly to the village chief's house, she felt that it would be too reckless to do so.
"Now that you're here, come in." The village chief didn't look up, but said slowly, his eyes still fixed on the chessboard.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the village chief's house, and a thick black mist rolled out of the doors and windows, mixed with the man's angry scolding.
"It's smoked to death, what a broken task! Ahem! "A man came out of the house, his hands still waving, driving away the fog.
Liu Lu looked at the man without confusion, the man was carrying a big sword and was a warrior.
"Look, I haven't seen anyone!" The man's attitude was very bad, and he roared at Liu Lu unintentionally, and then glared angrily at the village chief: "Dead old man, you are making things difficult for me!" ”
Liu Lu frowned unintentionally, this person's speech was really unpleasant, and just wanted to stop him from continuing to scold, the village chief spoke slowly: "Young people are impetuous, and they can't make a big deal after all." ”
"I'm sorry, it's your business whether Lao Tzu can become a big deal." The man was still spitting and his voice was sharp and piercing.
Liu Lu couldn't help it, and just spoke: "You ......"
"Young man, do you still have a mission to do? Don't interfere with my reception of guests. The village chief directly interrupted Liu Lu's unintentional words and said very politely, "Don't let my children wait." ”
The man glared at the village chief angrily: "What kind of broken task are you!" Lao Tzu doesn't do it, bad luck! After speaking, he hurried out with a black face, and glared at her viciously when he passed by Liu Lu Wuxin.
Liu Lu had no good impression of him, her original pair of shiny and clear eyes were full of ice, and her sharp gaze was directed at the man, without mercy. The slanted gaze was full of majesty and pressure, and the man shuddered, and hurriedly lowered his head and left, scolding after walking a short distance.
"Bastard, dare to stare at Lao Tzu, wait and see." While talking, he turned his head, and saw that Liu Lu didn't look back and thought that he hadn't heard, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
As everyone knows, Liu Lu unintentionally heard all the ears in his ears, and a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, which quickly converged, this kind of person himself didn't look at it.
"Village chief, I don't know if Liu Lu came to visit and disturbed your old man's house." Liu Lu walked up to the village chief and asked respectfully.
"The children have stood at the door since they entered the door and did not come in rashly, they are very polite, and I have a good impression of you, the village chief."
The chief of the village spoke very interestingly, and seeing that he seemed to be satisfied with me, I sat down opposite the chief with confidence.
"I don't know if the village chief needs help?" Liu Lu asked inadvertently.
The village chief took a sip of tea and didn't continue to speak, Liu Lu didn't bother him, watching him play Go alone, she couldn't understand, but she still sat quietly.
The surroundings are quiet, the village chief's house is located in a very remote location in the village, and there are no other players around except for the not-so-good quality warrior just now. The breeze blew, the leaves swayed, and there was only the crisp sound of falling children and the village chief's drinking water.
I don't know how long it has been, but the village chief said unhurriedly: "The old man is hungry, the little friend will cook a few small dishes for me." ”
It turned out to be this task.,It seems to be the same as the man's task just now.,Cooking and letting the boy do it.,It's really unreliable.。
Liu Lu smiled mischievously, got up and went to the house, and did not ask the village chief what he liked to eat.
When it comes to cooking, I'm very good at it.
As for the reason, Liu Lu unintentionally had a melancholy on her face, she spent too much time at home alone, alone, her family would regularly send money to her card, but she didn't come back just by sending money.
In order to eat well and sleep well, he cooks his own meals and does his housework, and the only thing that accompanies him is the stuffed bear who has been repeatedly "abused".
Now that I want to cook for others, I feel very emotional, there is an inexplicable warmth, Liu Lu unintentionally took off her cloak and hung it aside, and looked left and right at the kitchen.
The walls of the kitchen were a little blackened, and there was a mist that had not cleared inside, and she looked around a few times, and there were eggs, tomatoes, eggplants, greens, lentils, and other vegetables.
There was only a stove in the kitchen, which did not bother her, she was very skillful in making a fire, and then she was busy beside the stove, and the little figure stood there, the movements were smooth, and after a while, a burst of the fragrance of food came from the house, and the village chief, who was sitting on the stone bench playing chess, showed a satisfied smile, and immediately disappeared again, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Liu Lu walked out with two dishes unintentionally, and the cloak was not put on, so exposed to the sun, as if covered with a halo, attracting people's eyes.
"Village chief, the dish is here, I'll serve you a meal by the way." Liu Lu had no intention of putting down the vegetables, and was just about to go back when the village chief stopped her.
"No need children, I'm very satisfied with your dishes, the old man has given you a task, do you want to accept it?"
System: Trigger story mission: "Village Chief's Request", do you accept it?
Liu Lu didn't mean to answer immediately, and the village chief didn't tell her the content, but she still kept an eye on it, and intuitively felt that the village chief would not embarrass her, so she accepted the task.
The village chief was finally reluctant to take his eyes off the chessboard, and said to Liu Lu with a smile: "Little friend, I just remembered that the chickens in my backyard haven't been fed yet, you go and help me." ”
Liu Lu almost choked on her own saliva unintentionally, feed the chickens? She also weighed the profit and loss, did she just feed the chickens?
No, it's not that simple.
She glanced at the village chief, who smiled and didn't say anything else, just urged: "Go and feed it, don't starve my chickens." ”
It seems that there is no clue at this time, so let's do it.
Liu Lu nodded unintentionally and walked to the backyard of the village chief's house, there was a small chicken pen in the backyard, and the chicks were running around happily in it, and the hen rooster was stretching its neck and flapping its wings.
She saw a few bags of feed next to the feed trough, picked up a few spoonfuls with a broken porcelain bowl and put them in the feed trough, watching the chickens scramble to eat, she seemed to see something in the chicken pen with excellent eyesight, and a pair of big eyes narrowed.
That thing is so small that ordinary people can't see it at all if they don't look closely, and there are so many chickens here, blocking people's view.
The thing looked like a corner of the paper, pressed under the coop, leaving only a small corner.
Liu Lu unintentionally opened the door of the chicken pen to find out, and it seemed a bit rude to think about it, but when she thought of something hidden in such a hidden place, her curiosity was suspended.
Removing the chicken coop, there was a letter covered in chicken excrement and a mess of dead grass.
She picked it up without being dirty, turned around to see if the village chief had come to inspect, and opened the letter when she saw that there was no one, there were not many words, but several key words were unintentionally captured by Liu Lu, which made her praise her decision was correct.
The letter reads:
Dear Village Chief,
Yang came in the name of the family teacher, just wanted to inform the village chief of the impending disaster of the Endless Forest as soon as possible, a large number of monsters that were originally sealed were affected by the powerful unknown force and gradually broke through the seal, and a number of strange spaces appeared, among which the monster power was even stronger, hoping that the village chief could gather the people to eliminate these monsters, and the endless forest was peaceful.
Yang
"Kid, haven't you fed the chickens yet?" The village chief shouted in the front yard.
Liu Lu unintentionally put the letter into the package and left the chicken pen to meet the village chief.
"Village chief, I've fed the chickens."
"Yes! ~"The village chief is very satisfied, and at this time, the system prompts the village chief's favorability of himself to increase, and it seems that being polite to others is also very effective for NPCs.
"Little friend, I have a letter here, I hope you can help me pass it on to Xiaoyaosheng Qin Ye, and inform him that the old man has something to discuss with him, and I hope he will come to see me as soon as he receives the letter."
Liu Lu unintentionally took the letter, and it was a letter again, but how do I know where Qin Ye is.
"Does the village chief know where Qin Ye is?" Liu Lu asked inadvertently.
"The old man doesn't know, he just stayed at the old man's place for a night, and disappeared quietly the next day, the old man only knows that he is good at kung fu, and hopes to find him to help the old man solve the problem." The village chief shook his head.
"What's the problem?" Liu Lu had no intention of asking, she felt that the letter she found in the chicken pen just now was inseparable from the village chief's commission, and now she asked her to find someone, but she didn't know the location, and the NPC didn't have a name on her head, how should she find it?
The village chief coughed awkwardly when asked, turned her head and didn't speak, all kinds of actions made her feel that things were not so simple, the village chief was hiding things, and she just happened to know about it.
But the safety of the Endless Forest is at stake, and the village chief has to announce this matter for the sake of the villagers, so why hide it?
"If you want to find someone, just find someone, don't ask so much." The village chief avoided the question a little impatiently, which made Liu Lu feel suspicious and tired.
However, the village chief is reluctant to say that there must be a reason for him, seeing that this task of finding someone to hand over the letter is a plot task, there must be a plot, and he only asks too much.
It's stumped for me now, and I'm not sure how to find it, one by one NPC asks? The continent of "Genesis" is completely simulated in real life, and there are NPCs everywhere, and even pedestrians passing by may be the publisher of the mission, which makes me how to find it.
Liu Lu unintentionally felt that her pressure was so great, she nodded and agreed to the village chief and left, this task is not simple, in the words of ordinary people, this task may not be completed if I can do it for a year, to describe the task as very difficult.
Thinking of the letter in the package, she felt it was necessary for her to decipher it.
The game doesn't tell you exactly where the treasure is and where the hidden map is, they just scatter a lot of message fragments waiting for the player to pick up and then decipher.
Of course, some people will interpret it, and some people think that it is just a piece of waste paper, and these messages are also related to a large number of plots and the opening of follow-up missions, which is the key to the progress of the game.
Liu Lu didn't inadvertently take a few steps before she realized that she hadn't taken her cloak, so she turned back to get it.
But when she walked back to the village chief's courtyard, she didn't see the village chief in the courtyard, and she walked back to the house and put on her cloak and didn't find the village chief, including the backyard.
The village chief just disappeared.
The vegetable village chief on the stone table didn't move a mouthful, it was already cold.
Liu Lu left the courtyard without stopping, and a doubt welled up in her heart after taking a few steps.
Is that old man just now, really the village chief himself?
She herself was frightened by her own thoughts, and immediately comforted herself. Don't be cranky, Bai Lu, you've read too many horror novels.
The self-deprecation was very successful in diverting attention, Liu Lu looked at the sky inadvertently, it was already evening, thinking that she had been in the game all day, and it was time to go offline to fill her stomach.
She called out the datapad and opted out of the game.
The man lying in the game pod opened his eyes, pressed the door opening button, got up from the chair and walked out.
"Gollum—" Bai Lu's stomach growled, loud in the quiet room.
"Looks like I'm hungry."
