Roland has been in Red Earth Town for more than a month, and he has never triggered the mission, and he didn't expect Beta, the little guy, to get a mission out as soon as he came.

But it's normal to think about it, Roland doesn't know the language yet, and the task is a thing that needs to be communicated. Unlike previous games, NPCs have a golden exclamation point on their heads, which tells you that there is a quest here.

How can a person who has difficulty even communicating trigger a task.

So...... It is imperative to learn the magic of language as soon as possible.

"Okay, form a team and share the task with me."

Both of them were people who played games from childhood to adulthood, and the two quickly found the team interface in the system interface, and then Beta shared the task.

'Looking for the old man's missing child. ’

The title of the mission is green and has an excellent suffix after it.

As if seeing Roland's doubts, Beta explained on the side: "I have also taken on white tasks before, but I don't give much experience points, and the item rewards are very common, just an ordinary iron longsword. ”

Speaking of this, Beta took out a somewhat rusty long sword from his backpack and waved it twice, whirring: "This is it." ”

"Are the clothes and weapons on your body all given by the mission?" Roland asked curiously.

Beta nodded, then asked rhetorically, "Isn't the magic robe on Brother Roland's body?" ”

Roland shook his head: "No, this is just an old man gave it to me." ”

Beta clapped her hands violently and said excitedly, "It seems that this game still has an intimacy story." ”

Although Beta, a young man, had just graduated from high school, it could be seen that his mind was quite active, and he quickly thought of some 'points' that others couldn't see.

Roland thought for a moment and said, "Although what you said seems to be true, I still have to tell you that the NPCs of this game can't be regarded as the NPCs of the sandbox games we played before, their intelligence is quite high. ”

Beta nodded lightly and said in an indifferent tone: "I know that the AI made by Penguin is almost like a real person. ”

"They give me the feeling of a real person." Roland said with a frown.

"Hahaha." Beta laughed: "Brother Roland, you have too much heart, this game is controlled by intelligent AI, they are all just data." ”

Roland sighed: "When I was in college, I studied intelligent programming and application, and to put it more simply, I did AI, although I failed later. As far as I know, if you want to build such a huge world, and each NPC is simulated like a real person, the amount of storage required is quite staggering, and I don't think anyone can do it. ”

"But the game came along." Beta, who was clearly a consequentialist, shrugged his shoulders and said, "So...... There was a genius who made a breakthrough. ”

Roland smiled bitterly: "I can only think so." ”

"Alright, Brother Roland, can we go?" Beta looked at him expectantly.

At this time, the two of them stood in front of Roland's small thatched house, halfway up the mountain. Roland pointed to the foot of the mountain, because it was a market today, and there were two or three times more people in Red Earth Town than usual.

The streets were crowded with hawkers on both sides, and the pedestrians on the streets were even densely packed with people standing and walking.

The lively noise came from below, a long and long sound, a bit like the unique sound of the tide.

"Don't you want to enjoy this kind of festivities?" Roland asked a little strangely: "You should have rarely experienced such a simple market activity, after all, your generation grew up in an e-commerce environment." ”

Beta shrugged: "I'm not interested at all, I just want to level up quickly now, go to the big city to see, and then go to more interesting missions and see a lot of monsters and landscapes." ”

It turns out that this teenager is more adventurous than the people and things around him?

Roland stood up: "Alright then, let's go." ”

The two went down the mountain, walked across the bustling bridge in the middle of the lake, and left the red soil town, according to the clues provided in the mission intelligence, before the child disappeared, he had said that he wanted to become a mercenary and break into the world, and then carried a sword, and set off to the west.

"To the west."

Roland vaguely remembers that a few days ago, when he and Falken were chatting, he had said that dozens of kilometers to the west, there was a nest of ogres hiding in the woods, occasionally catching passers-by. But because these ogres are very good at fighting, and because the place is remote, there are no strong mercenaries, so no one will crusade against them.

Thinking of this, Roland muttered, "That kid won't be stupid enough to want to crusade against ogres. Is there such a stupid person? ”

Beta continued, "It's just a game setting, and you don't have to be so reasonable. Anyway, it's just a way to give us an upgrade. ”

Roland always felt that something was wrong.

Under the prompting of the quest system, Roland and Beta walked for a day, and in the evening, they finally found the nest of ogres.

Embellishment with many bone totems, this place looks gloomy.

Green-skinned ogres were sitting around the fire. Stone pots were placed on the fire, which seemed to be boiling human limbs.

There are about thirteen of them, each of which is between LV1 and LV2, so it's no wonder that the average pedestrian is no match for them.

It's all professionals, and there aren't many of them.

The two were lying on the mountainside, and Roland asked, "Do you want to make a suitable battle plan?" ”

"No, I've killed a lot of ogres like this. Brother Roland will help me sweep back. Beta stood up and charged straight down the hill.

In fact, Beta was right, he killed these ogres like chopping vegetables.

Beta's movements are quite fast, his strength is not small, and what is even more surprising is that he can still find time to use magic in battle.

He rushed into the ogre's den like a tiger into a sheepfold, killing nearly half of them in less than three minutes, while the other half died under Roland's small fireball spell, or was beaten to death by him with the hands of a mage.

Mosaic all over the ground.

Beta wiped the mosaic off his face and, with the help of the system, found a highlighted target, a shriveled head hanging from a strange human bone totem.

"I've found the mission target." Beta laughed and took her head off the totem.

"Don't you feel disgusting?" Roland frowned and asked.

Beta threw the head in his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a string of data, just look at it." ”

"Alright, Brother Roland, let's go back and hand in the mission."

Roland looked at the human bone totems around him, these were all human bones that had been eaten, and some were still boiling in a few stone pots, he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go and hand in the task, I want to bury these bones first." ”

Beta looked at him in surprise: "Brother Roland, these are just data, you are too deep in the play." ”

Roland paused and said, "You just treat me as willful." ”

Beta sighed and said, "Okay, hurry up." ”

After saying that, he left alone.
