Chapter 3: Divine Quest
Ask for help.
This was the key to open the prison door, and Yao Te had no idea that it would turn out to be so simple.
It's true that since the days he entered the new game, he has tried all kinds of ways to open the prison door, but he has never wanted to rely on the strength of others.
Asking for help is such a simple thing, I didn't even think of it.
Yao Te thought it was ridiculous.
In the old game, as he grew older, he had already understood the cruelty of this world, and instead of waiting for others to save him, he should rely on his own strength.
Perhaps, it was this idea of not having any hope for the world that made him gradually begin to believe in no one but himself.
"Is it wrong to just want to rely on your own strength?" Yao Te gave up suicide and asked a little confused.
His twenty-two years of incomparably faithful belief in life were suddenly shattered by a game lesson.
"Who knows, many things in this world are not originally evaluated by right or wrong, if you want to rely on your own strength, maybe, this is the choice you make about your fate."
The man raised the candle in his hand, and the light shone on a wrinkled face, a torn black cloak draped, and his rickety body occasionally staggered with a cough or two.
"Who are you?" Yao Te looked at the old man in front of him with some curiosity.
"Someone who helps you." The old man's answer was succinct, but to Yao Te's ears, it sounded a little sarcastic.
However, Yao Te is not a stubborn guy, as long as the guy in front of him can open the collar around his neck, even if he asks him to call his father, it is okay.
"You can open this cage?" Yao Te asked expectantly.
The iron cage was on the verge of killing him.
"Of course." The old man stretched out another trembling hand, and in his palm was a quaint key, which seemed to be the key to open the iron door.
The old man was about to help Yao Te open the iron door, but Yao Te suddenly said, "Wait." ”
The old man felt a little strange, "Don't you want to come out?" ”
"Can you give me the key, I want to open it myself." Yao Teh said his request.
As long as he has a key, Yao Te can open it by himself from inside the iron cage.
"No matter what the situation, you just want to rely on your own strength, you are the most special guy I have ever met." The old man's expression was a little solemn.
Yao Te didn't answer, perhaps by acquiescence.
Opening the iron door, Yao Te finally had a sense of relief.
"What is this place?" Yao asked again.
"The Land of the Trapped Beasts." When the old man had finished speaking, he turned around and led the way.
The place was pitch black and gave it an eerie feel, and Yao Te was in no hurry to keep up.
Instead, he removed the key that had been inserted into the keyhole of the iron door.
Magic Key (quest item): A bland key, but sometimes it can come in handy.
Yao Te put the magic key in his backpack and hurriedly followed.
The light of the candles flickered across the walls, the stone patterned walls were already broken, and the walkway was still rubble, and the place seemed to have been damaged to some extent.
The old man suddenly stopped, and looked ahead, it was an incomparably huge statue, although there was no light, and it was impossible to see its full appearance, but the huge black volts could still make people feel its majestic power.
"It's a statue of a god, and I heard that if you pray in front of the statue of a god, you will be blessed by the gods." There was some eagerness in the old man's tone.
"That statue of a god looks like a dog." Yao Te activated the Dog Eye Skill, and with the blessing of the skill, his vision became much clearer.
The huge statue of the god was carved with a dog.
It's just that unlike ordinary dogs, this dog has an abominable face, bloody mouth and teeth, and looks very cruel.
"It's not unusual at all, it is rumored that the true bodies of many gods are powerful demon beasts, demon beasts are cruel and murderous, and have brought countless disasters to the entire continent, but now they have become gods, this world is really ironic." The old man sneered.
The old man walked up to the statue and removed the cloak and hat from his head, revealing through his unkempt hair two strangely shaped ears, not the long, pointed ears of the elves, but triangular ears like dog ears.
Dare to love, this old man is a kobold.
The old man's cloak seemed to have the effect of hiding his name, and his name was revealed after he removed the cap of the cloak.
Wish, level 5.
"But sometimes in order to live, you have to do even the most ironic things, and you can come and try it, and you may be blessed by the gods." ”
Like a wise man, every word he says is full of deep meaning.
Blessed by the gods, Yao Te doesn't expect this kind of good thing to befall him, but it's good to try, in case his character explodes.
Yao Te also walked to the front of the statue and worshipped as if he had made a wish.
"System prompt: You pray for the statue of the gods, inspire the F-level mission, kill the kobold priest to get the wish, the mission time is seven days, complete the task to get 3000 experience points, comprehend the general skill beast instinct, the mission failure will be cursed by the gods, all attributes will be reduced by 20%, for seven days." Yao Te was also stunned for a moment, not thinking that his visit to the shrine would really have an effect.
It seems that the so-called blessing should be a game setting such as triggering a task, but this task that was stimulated made Yao Te feel a little bloody.
As soon as the other party saved himself, the system immediately gave him a task of revenge, which is too ironic.
3000 points of experience points can already allow Yao Te to be directly promoted from level 0 to level 1, and there is also a skill reward, but the punishment after the failure of this task makes Yao Te a little difficult to accept, all attributes are reduced by 20% in seven days, and it will become extremely difficult to fight monsters and upgrade.
Yao Te secretly used a dog's eye skill on the wish next to him, hoping to see more information.
Kobold Wish (Level 5), Class Sacrifice (Level F), Health 630, Mana: 320
The other party's level is level 5, and the current Yao Te is still level 0, and it is impossible to kill the kobold in front of him.
"The duration of the mission is seven days, which means that I still have seven days to level up, as long as I reach the same level, it is not impossible to kill the other party." Although the plan was good, Yao Te's brow was a little difficult to stretch.
Will things really turn out the way you think they are?
"It seems that the gods have not blessed us, I am tired, and the next road can only be walked by you, all the way to the exit of the land of the trapped beasts, this candle will be given to you, may the light always be with you." Deyuan coughed a few more times, and his physical condition seemed extremely bad.
Looking at it like this, the other party seems to be an NPC.
Taking the candle from Deyuan's hand, Yao Te's heart looked very uncomfortable, although he knew that this was just a game, why should this game be so cruel.
"System Prompt: You have obtained the item Magic Candle."
Magical Candle (Quest Item): A magical candle that will never go out no matter what, and those who find its maker in the Closed City may know why this candle is so magical.
Equipment Requirements: Deputy.
"Then I'm leaving, you take care of yourself, and I'll come to see you after a while." Yao Te knew in his heart that after a while, the two were afraid that there would not be such a good atmosphere to chat.
Thinking that all this was just a game, Yao Te's originally tangled heart slowly stretched.
"Go ahead, Warrior, and I'll be here waiting for news of your triumphant return." De Yuan shouted with some excitement.
When Yao Te turned his back, the expression that had been smiling gradually solidified, and a touch of Yin Owl's eyes revealed murderous intent, and a pitch-black bone staff appeared in his hand at some point.
There were words in his mouth, and his voice was deliberately low, as if he was chanting a spell.
"Shadow Strike."
A silent ray of light pierced Yao Te's direction, and a treacherous smile appeared on his face.
However, the smile didn't last long, and it was replaced by an expression of disbelief.
Yao Te, as if he had eyes on his back, quickly dodged to the side the moment he activated his skill, and brushed shoulders with the light of the shadow strike.
"No way, how do you know I'm going to kill you." De Yuan's face was incredulous, he thought that the city was deep enough, he had saved him before, and he was disguised as an NPC, and ordinary people would never have any precautions.
The candlelight in the darkness disappeared, and the magic candle was put into his backpack by Yao Te.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a gamer." Yao Te's words came from the darkness.
Yao Te has not been sure about the identity of the other player's player before, just because of the identity of the other party's kobold, after all, Yao Te has maintained his human appearance after entering the new game, so he habitually thinks that the other party is an NPC.
And now that the other party has taken the initiative to kill him, only the player will do such a capricious thing.
"Of course, we're all from another world, an old game that we didn't notice for a lifetime." I candidly admit it.
Sure enough, it's a player, and it seems that the other party's kobold identity should be a change obtained in the new game.
"In this case, in front of the statue of the gods, you have also received a mission from the gods." The reason why the other party suddenly killed himself was definitely related to the statue of the gods, otherwise if he really wanted to kill himself at the beginning, he wouldn't have to unlock it for himself at all.
The other party deliberately gave himself a task item, so that he mistakenly thought that the other party was an NPC, if it wasn't for his own extra heart, I was afraid that he would have already fallen into the other party's way.
It's just that Yao Te received a god quest and has a certain understanding of the mechanism of task triggering, and the other party gave him a task item, but did not trigger the task, Yao Te already felt very strange.
"It seems that you also received a divine mission, but I didn't expect that you kid was really calm, and he was wary of his life-saving benefactor, and even I lied to it." Dewan suddenly felt that he was underestimating the young man in front of him, he had lived in the old game for so many years, and had seen all kinds of people, but no one of them made him feel like him.
This feeling is that you will never trust anyone, and you will hide your thoughts, lonely thinking, and lonely battles from anyone.
