Chapter 31: Departure at Dawn
What a sleepless night!
Hazy, I was half-asleep, my body tossing and turning, and it wasn't until dawn that I opened my eyes to meet the moment of departure. The sky outside the window was not very bright, and the autumn wind gently blew through the window, and there was silence all around. I rubbed my eyelids, straightened my hair, and walked briskly to the bedroom door.
I grasped the handle in one hand, and stroked the open-mouthed rabbit head necklace around my neck with the otherβit was my package, which contained a hundred gold ingots, all earned by my hard work in the past five days!
I prepared almost nothing, just a rabbit head necklace and a plum watch. I think they're important: a rabbit head necklace with money, weapons, flight charms, and memory charms, and a plum blossom watch with a mission prompt and related information...... What's missing? I didn't think about it for a while.
Pushing the door open, I walked downstairs.
Nameless, Pure World, Falling Goose and Talented Beauty, they have been waiting for me downstairs for a long time. We simply greeted each other, came to the table and sat down, and silently settled breakfast.
This was our first day on our trip to Changhe.
My heart was full of anxiety and nervousness: I didn't know what the world outside the village was like. Is it beautiful, free and atmospheric, or is it ...... In short, I must take a good look with my own eyes.
After the meal, the talented and beautiful woman counted the necessary needs for the trip, and determined that Nameless was responsible for managing the money and food, Chun Tianya was responsible for contacting the routes and accommodations to and fro, and Luo Yan and I were responsible for the daily necessities of the members.
"How do you go on the long river? Is it good to look there? "I took the assortment of clothes, pants, and shoes, and put them in a wrap around my neck - shoved the items into the mouth of the rabbit head necklace, and the items shrank and I stuffed them all! In addition to a trace of nervousness and uneasiness in my heart, the rest was curiosity and inquiry.
- Oh! I don't feel like I'm going to do a quest, I'm going to play!
Nameless smiled: "Xiao Jing, you are so playful!" We're on a mission, not a game. β
"Even if you want to go on a mission, you can't ignore the scenery you have walked through!" I cocked my mouth.
Nameless teased me: "Don't warp. Look at you, this mouth can hang a teapot! β
Hearing this, I squinted at Nameless in disgust, and immediately pursed my mouth.
When the talented woman saw that we were all ready, she pushed open the door and said, "The long river is in the easternmost part of the proud village, and its end is probably connected to a river basin!" We go all the way east and we always reach our destination! β
Luo Yan "snorted" and suddenly said to me: "By the way, has your 'map' been opened?" β
"What map?" I'm confused.
Nameless chuckled, propped up my arm, and pressed the "six" in the center of my plum blossom watch, and I was surprised to see that the number on the stamen was replaced by a small circular pattern.
There are five blue dots on the pattern, and the blue dots are all in front of a flat house, and the symbol with wavy lines is drawn on the side, almost like a small river near the flat house. Nameless pointed to the front of the river, and the picture swam with his finger, a green color flooded in front of me, and when I looked up, the picture suddenly became a small blank space, and there was a black fence in the blank space, marked with the words "proud village".
"Isn't this the proud village we live in?" I froze for a moment.
Chun Tianya laughed: "You are so dull! Do you understand? β
Nameless explained to me, "You can see the colored patterns around you, and they are all traces of your walks, which are 'recorded' in your map, and those blank spaces are the places you haven't walked!" From now on, you 'open' the map! Let it record automatically! It's also more convenient for future missions, so you won't get lost again! β
My eyes fell on the six petals on the watch, the left side was still the same: forward, back, exit, and on the right: record, delete, cancel.
Nameless pressed "Record" with his finger.
ββ¦β¦ Nameless, it doesn't matter if this map is there or not? I won't forget the route I walked once, but what else do I need a map for? Unless it's a special region! I'd like to walk around a few more times before I can write it down. β
Nameless scratched his head and said: "Wrong, you are wrong, very wrong!" If your map is detailed, it will be convenient later: you can fly anywhere on your map with a flight charm or a memory charm, which will save you a lot of time! Moreover, you can't buy 'maps' in the general market, and you can only record them with 'maps' if you experience them yourself! β
"I see!" I was dumbfounded.
"It's better to try than to hear." The talented and beautiful woman raised her head to everyone, "Let's start work!" An eye-opener for the little bridge! Let's use the Flying Charm to go to the gate of the proud village! He gave the order, and the other three people each took out a flying charm from their packages. I hesitated, and pulled out a flight charm from my package.
The talented and beautiful woman gestured to me: "You see how to use it, you will definitely be able to use it in the future!" β
He raised his hand, revealing a golden crescent ring. He tapped his hand to a certain part of the ring, and saw a small map appear in front of us, much more detailed than mine, and he searched back and forth before placing the flight charm on the handwriting of "Proud Village".
In an instant, he was gone!
I stammered.
"Do you know how to use it?" Luo Yan patted me on the shoulder, like a talented and beautiful woman, turned on the communicator, called up the map, and pointed to a certain place on the map with a flying charm, but there was no one in a blink of an eye.
Chun Tianya squeezed his eyes at me, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and use it!" See you later! "He was the third to leave.
Nameless exhaled and whispered, "Don't be afraid! It's the same as the normal use of the Flying Charm! If you don't feel used to it, you can use it first, and then I'll fly directly to you with the flying charm. β
"You can rest assured, you have watched it three times, and you won't be wrong no matter what you do!" Unconvinced, I retorted, "You waitβI'm not stupid!" Taking a deep breath, I lowered my head to look at the "map", drew a scoop according to the gourd, and touched the words "proud village" on the map with the flying charm.
In the blink of an eye, the scene around me changed rapidly, and I felt myself spinning rapidly, my head dizzy, but my body unable to move. I struck a spirit, and when my surroundings recovered, I saw the smiling faces of talented and beautiful women, falling geese and pure world. I opened my lips, I didn't scream, and looked at a stone tablet in front of me, didn't I come to the entrance of the arrogant village?
Nameless then pops up.
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Xiaojing, a girl's personality should not be so strong!" β
"I'm not strong, I'm learning properly!" I rolled my eyes and snorted.
Anyway, all five of us were there.
It was still early, and when I looked at the proud village, many small buildings had not yet opened, and the pedestrians were quite sparse. This was the first time I had seriously looked around the proud village: most of the houses were three-story buildings, except for a few decoration shops, clothing stores and other shops, grocery stores, and snack bars, and several conspicuous small buildings had plaques such as "Medal Application Department", "Mission Announcement Office", "Gang Establishment Department", "Family Establishment Department", "Team Consultation Building", and so on.
The five of us stood at the entrance of the village, wearing individual medals and team medals uniformly, and our faces were full of vitality and were very eye-catching, attracting the few pedestrians to look at us.
I was a little shy and took a step back cautiously, pretending not to care on my face.
They are probably used to talented and beautiful women, and everyone's face is very calm.
"To the east? Right now? "Don't look away without a name, deliberately not looking at the disgust of passers-by.
The talented and beautiful woman nodded, pointed her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go east!" β
"Tianya is not responsible for the route back and forth? Can I take a car? "I wondered.
The talented and beautiful women stopped and looked at me in unison.
Chun Tianya "coughed" and said, "I kindly remind you, this is not a city, how can there be a car?" Be patient, and when we reach the 'Pride City', we can get in the car! β
A trace of coldness quickly crossed Luo Yan's eyes, she glanced at the end of the world, and added: "That city is not far from here, it takes about four hours to walk!" Why don't you let Tianya fly over first......? β
Chun Tianya shrunk his neck and immediately refused: "No, no...... Let's walk over there, shall we? It's not far, it's only four hours! β
"Walk over and forget about losing weight." I shrugged my shoulders and said it didn't matter, and suddenly remembered a question, "Before leaving, my gear was broken, do you know where to fix it?" β
Nameless replied stunned, "Go to the 'repair shop'." β
Chun Tianya answered: "It's too early, the repair shop hasn't opened yet?" β
"So what to do?" I was dumbfounded, "Why don't you go to the next village to fix it?" β
Luo Yan patted the talented and beautiful woman heavily, and snickered: "He has a way." β
The talented and beautiful woman glared at the wild goose angrily, and we invariably turned to the talented and beautiful woman. The talented woman took out a small axe from his package, brown and the size of a palm.
He handed me the small axe and wrote lightly: "This is the 'Axe of Repair'!" You knock it on your gear and you're done! β
"It's that simple?" My eyes lit up and I couldn't help but be happy, "Thank you, Caizi!" You're such a nice guy! β
The corners of the talented and beautiful woman's mouth twitched, and she stopped talking.
I didn't care what the talented and beautiful woman thought, I grabbed the little axe and gently tapped it on my reddish-brown evening dress, and a familiar "ding" sound sounded.
I put down the small axe, raised the plum blossom watch I was wearing on my wrist, clicked the "two" in the center, and called up the task prompt machine, only to see a few large lines written on it:
The Axe of Repair repairs your equipment for you, and the cost of this repair is 30 gold ingots, do you need to repair it?
The three petals on the left appear with options: Yes, No, Cancel.
β¦β¦ I raised my face depressedly and looked at the talented and beautiful woman weakly.
The talented and beautiful woman bowed her head and counted the ants, looking unwilling.
I gritted my teeth and had to choose: yes.
Just listen to a "click" sound, and everything will fall silent. I touched my dress, and suddenly saw that there was nothing unusual on my body, and then glanced at the task prompt, and there was a task left on it:
Advanced Tasks:
In order to repay the money, the long boss orders you to go to the long river to catch three turkey chickens, the time limit is one month, and the task fails: listen to the boss Hou Chang.
- Normal quests are gone!
I froze in place.
Nameless nudged me, wondering, "Are you still okay?" β
"Alright." I returned the little axe to the talented woman.
The Lady took the small axe back into his package.
"What else matters?" Nameless asked me.
I shook my head.
"So, off yet?" Nameless spoke again.
"Let's go!" We nodded and headed east together.
