Chapter 65: Blade and his classmates
The rain in May is always subtle and unrestrained, sometimes fluttering and sprinkling, sometimes beaded into a line, just like the pair of infatuated men and women, there are tears of joy when they meet, and there are heartbroken tears when they part.
Jian'an City was shrouded in a gray canopy and washed by the rain, and how many buildings were separated from the literati and rioters, and they were lonely in the smoke and rain; How many houses are filled with people with lofty ideals, waiting for another rain to clear up. Jian'an City is very large, in addition to the splendid royal inner city, the outer city tower is also mostly carved beams and painted buildings wrapped in glass. Of course, even at the feet of the Son of Heaven there were beggars, and under those beautiful high-rise pavilions there would always be some dilapidated low houses, and in the middle of these houses there would always be one or two streets or alleys, and An Ran stayed in one of the alleys called 'Yellow Cow Horn'.
He was a beggar at the moment, and he couldn't stay on those bright and clean streets, so he just came here to find an eaves that could shelter the rain and sit against the wall, and then listened to the sound of the raindrops falling on the rubble.
In Fan Yuntian's words, 'this is a hellish task', begging has become a lesson, every time you go to a place, you have to huddle in a corner, suffer the dislike and charity of others, you have to keep in mind the charity of others, you have to repay the kindness at every opportunity, and you can't return the cold eyes or fists of others to you. Even for players, this is a chore, and many times An Ran thinks that there is no one who can play the game like this, but what can be done? repay the favor after receiving every alms; Or every time he gives back after doing good, he can always make some changes in the world in the womb of his own game character, such as the sky there seems to be higher and the earth seems to be wider.
An Ran found that since drinking the bowl of rice porridge in Zhangjia Village, there was a white mist hovering in his belly like a dragon, and it looked at the small hills like a living thing, as if patrolling a place to stay. What is the reason for such changes in the womb of your game character? The young man naturally didn't know, but he knew that the improvement of the world in the womb of the game character would make the game character stronger, so he was willing to do this kind of 'hellish task' to make the mountains there green and beautiful.
Suddenly, a humming sound woke up the drowsy An Ran, and a chubby, fourteen-year-old boy in the alley, danced the broken bamboo stick in his hand, he spun in circles and slashed, his shabby robe and trouser legs splashed with muddy water.
"Lao Tzu is simply scared," Fan Yuntian, who was reclining on a haystack and slept with his hands on the back of his head as pillows, scolded: "This person is simply worse than the idiot who loves games, look at him...... Tsk, tsk, how can there be a trace of talent for martial arts? ”
"Don't you like to take in apprentices?" An Ran glanced at his servant, "It's comfortable now, you finally know how painful it is to be asked all day long!" ”
"It's not because of you!" Fan Yuntian shouted: "Like camel, you will provoke a bunch of flies wherever you go." ”
Fan Yuntian's words are not rough, since he rescued the girl in Zhangjia Village, the video of An Ran and Fan Yuntianxing's righteousness was put on the game forum by a certain player. This is amazing, many gamers immediately knew about this young hero wearing a broken running bamboo cane, and asked who this person was, where he was, and whether he was handsome.
On the way north to the capital, An Ran was recognized by many players, and then there were people who pulled him to drink; There are requirements to form a team to practice the next dungeon together; There are those who are not convinced and want to have a try; Some people who saw his face and felt that they could want to make a promise; Of course, more people want to explode his equipment by relying on the strength of the people, although An Ran and Fan Yuntian can rely on a clever energy to send away these people who want to see the style and have ill intentions one by one, but in the end they are still annoyed. The most dangerous time was in Guanyin Town, the two were chased and intercepted by hundreds of players, and finally escaped by relying on Bailu's galloping, good guys! The players who run into a train behind them are actually a small gang. After that, the master and servant no longer dared to take the official road leading to the capital Jian'an.
Then they met this stunned man who was dancing in the alley, and Fan Yuntian and An Ran felt that they must thank his eighth-generation ancestors.
His name is 'Blade', and he is a wealthy player who chooses assassins. He is a maverick, he can scold others in the game forum for his idol all night, and in the game he can throw a good weapon without it, carrying a bamboo cane and a rag robe to learn chivalry, and then he was beaten several times and his nose and face were swollen several levels. What's even more powerful is that he actually made an NPC a father, and he accompanied his NPC father with a large cart of groceries to the capital to sell, not for anything else, just to learn from his idol to do good deeds.
They met at the Wooden Ferry crossing, where Blade was pulling out a large handful of silver coins to learn the best Assassin skills from an NPC dressed as an Assassin, and then the master and servant appeared, trying to get justice for some of the players who had paid but had not learned the so-called skills. That is to say, the NPCs who dress up like career guides are actually liars, standing in some towns, post stations or roads to deceive players of the money, they deliberately choose those who are lonely, and they don't seem to be at a high level.
For some reason, An Ran is good at doing good deeds and fighting grievances, when he heard a deceived player sigh and talk about it, he had to take care of it, so he took the reluctant player to Mutuo Ferry and happened to meet these NPC liars who had not left yet.
It can be said that An Ran at that time was stunned when he saw the miniature version of himself in a ragged robe and carrying a bamboo cane, is this a popular dress in the game now? He couldn't believe his eyes. The ending is self-evident, the master and servant duo knocked the deceitful NPCs to the ground with three strokes and five divided by two, but did not kill them, but only ordered the NPCs to return the players' money. Then the blade was saved, and he was overjoyed, and he got his coins back, and he saw his idol in addition, and he secretly vowed to stick to him.
"Hey! I miss my apprentice so much," Fan Yuntian looked at the fat man in the rain curtain and said listlessly, "I don't know where he is now?" ”
"I'm here, I'm here, Master!" The blade seemed to hear Fan Yuntian's words, and stopped the movements in his hand and replied loudly.
An Ran didn't speak, just rubbed his temples and took off the wine gourd from his waist and drank two sips of wine.
"Stinky beggar, howling you?"
A fat woman in the opposite room opened the door and yelled, splashed a large basin of sewage on the blade, and slammed the door shut.
The slightly chubby, freckled young man with round cheeks was not annoyed when he was splashed with dirty water, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked quickly towards the master and servant.
"Bamboo hero, Master, this is the bun I brought back, you can eat it while it's hot." As he spoke, he pulled out a wet oiled paper bag from his bosom.
An Ran was a trembling storm at his head.
"How many times have I said it~Ah? Don't call me Bamboo Hero, people don't know and think Lao Tzu is a pig, you can call me An Ran, or call me An Ran, or call me Xiao An, and you are a player, why don't you put the bun in your personal package and bring it back, do you have to put it on your chest and cover your heart to be sure?"
"Am I not trying to create an atmosphere?" The blade smiled, "Who of the heroes on the rivers and lakes doesn't wear a hat on their heads, and take out something with a wine jug in one hand and gnaw on it in the other?" ”
An Ran's game character was not hungry and did not reach out to pick up the bun in his hand.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm thinking of your senior brother." Fan Yuntian grabbed the oil bun and took out the bun and handed it to his mouth, "Why does this bun taste a little weird?" How does it smell like a foot girl? He said suspiciously.
"Oh!" The slightly chubby boy scratched the back of his head, "Probably the fat lady who splashed it on me just now was the footwashing water!" ”
An Ran couldn't help laughing, and Fan Yuntian chased after his apprentice in the heavy rain.
It wasn't until the rain was a little lighter that they came to the bazaar on Qing'an Street, An Ran and Fan Yuntian went to the Moxiang Bookstore to buy a few novels and ordinary skills books of assassins, and the blade went to the Qibaozhai treasure hunt and clothing store to spend a lot of game coins to bring back some useless things for the master and servant, a mutton fat jade handle; a white paper fan with poems on the surface of the fan; There are also several sets of brocade clothes worn by noble sons who can only be used for decoration.
"Master, this handle is yours, and the white paper fan is bamboo...... Brother Enron's, clothes! Let's take a set of three people. ”
"You're out of money?" An Ran looked at the blade angrily and said, "Buying such a lot of useless things can improve your strength?" ”
"I'm not spending money indiscriminately," Blade said nonchalantly, "People rely on clothes, horses and saddles, Brother An Ran, you are so handsome, you can't wear this set of tattered clothes every day, then no girl likes you." You see that you are a handsome guy with a white paper fan, and you can charm those women - am I right? Master. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fan Yuntian was already happy to see that the good man had bought himself a beautiful dress, "Brother An Ran, hurry up and accept it, so that you can steal incense and jade in the future." By the way, everyone else has given us gifts with knives, and those assassin skill books will be given back to others. ”
An Ran could only sigh when he saw this pair of living treasures and accepted the things sent by the blade, the young man handed the assassin skill book he had purchased to the blade, and then the three of them began to wait boredly for the appearance of the other people.
After about a stick of incense, seven people about the same age as the blade appeared at the corner of the street, two women and five men walked all the way and played all the way, and when they saw the blade, they simply ran over.
"Dao Dachuan, why didn't you come to school today?" A girl with big eyes, a raised nose, and a black mole at the corner of her mouth said: "The head teacher has been named in class today. ”
"Come on!" A rough-looking boy answered: "Butcher Luo doesn't care about Da Chuan, didn't you see that she skipped our Brother Chuan directly when she called the name?" ”
"Cut!" Dao Okawa sneered disdainfully.
"You see, he's not ashamed, he's proud!" Another girl who was the same height as a boy but not very good-looking gave a white glance.
These people are chatting like a flock of little sparrows, but there is a boy with clear eyebrows who didn't speak and kept staring at An Ran and Fan Yuntian.
"Everyone, be quiet," Dao Dachuan cleared his throat with his hand, "Let me introduce this person is-
- Ahh Big brother! The boy with a long sword in a sheath at his waist and clear eyebrows shouted excitedly, "I saw your video on the forum, and now I finally see it alive." ”
Several boys came to talk passionately in an instant, and someone whispered, "Is it true?" It can't be a second force imitating the bamboo cane god of others, right? ”
"He is the great god of bamboo cane, just like a fake!" Dao Dachuan rubbed his hands together very proudly, "I can't have a good relationship with the great god now, have you seen this handsome and martial assassin next to me?" He is now my master of the blade. ”
"Wow!" Everyone erupted in envious voices.
They seemed to be overly enthusiastic, you and I began to talk to the master and servant one by one, and rushed to An Ran to make a request for 'add as good', An Ran naturally couldn't refuse coldly, so he could only answer with a smile and pass them one by one. It's just that being stared at like an orangutan is like selling a bid, which makes both the young man and Fan Yuntian a little uncomfortable.
"Students, let's get a copy first!" An Ran ignored a thin man who asked him what his future ideals were, and changed the topic, "You don't have much time to play, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold if we continue like this." ”
"That's it," the boy with clear eyebrows clasped his hands on his chest and said with a serious face: "Let's get off the copy and still have to do our homework, and if we continue to grind like this, the yellow flower girl will become a cucumber girl!" ”
Someone whistled, and Dao Dachuan asked with a puzzled face what this sentence meant, and at the same time there was a question about the taller girl, and then the girl with hemorrhoids at the corner of her mouth next to her whispered a few words to her.
"Chen Fang, your dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" This ordinary-looking tall girl glanced at the boy fiercely.
"Compared with our ignorance at that time, it turns out that these boys and girls who have just entered high school know everything?" An Ran couldn't help but laugh.
A group of ten people began to set off, and the destination was Fangya Mountain, which was outside Jian'an City, where there was a copy called 'Wild Boar Forest', and this mission escorted the merchants of Tianxi County to Jian'an City safely.
The news of this quest was inquired by Blade from his NPC father, and the general content of the quest was that a large number of bandits appeared in the area of the wild boar forest in Fangya Mountain, and the merchants who sold goods from Shangjing in Tianxi County did not dare to pass through Fangya Mountain with a large number of goods, so they could only sigh in the inn at the bottom of the mountain, waiting for the escort of the well-meaning adventurers.
The content of the quest is quite simple, there are no more merchants in the inn, no less, only ten, let ten players talk to accept the task, and after a group of merchants leave, they will refresh ten different merchants in the inn again, so all players can receive but can not do it in a loop. Of course, the plot of the mission does not make sense logically, first, how can there be so many recurring merchants and bandits on Fangfang Mountain; Second, since it is the capital that has been plagued for a long time and is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven, why are there no soldiers to exterminate it? Of course, this is the lowest level of simple tasks, just for players to level up, play equipment, and receive benefits, and the system can't do all the stories like in the real world.
It wasn't until he took the task that An Ran knew that this was a mobile copy, what did it mean? That is to say, these ten NPC merchants who do business are a copy for the player after receiving the task, the player follows them, and the copy will go wherever they go, as long as they are not too far away from the NPCs, jump out of their range, and you will not meet players outside the team during the mission until the end of the mission. Regardless of whether the task is successful or failing, everyone can only take the task once, and it is not possible for the loser to change teams and take it again.
Although the mobile copy is the first time An Ran encountered, this kind of copy is also one of the characteristics of Huaxia's copy, but to be honest, this low-end copy is a chicken rib for An Ran, in many copies he has no equipment needs at all, it's not that he doesn't want it, and for a beggar like him who has not been transferred, a lot of equipment can't be worn at all. The equipment on his body is all the kind of ordinary clothes that have no professional restrictions, and they can be bought in all equipment shops, if it weren't for Fan Yuntian's demand for assassin equipment, I'm afraid that many copies An Ran would not be bothered.
This is also one of the reasons why he can take Fan Yuntian around all day long, the goddess Mei Si'an gave him this road to travel through the rivers and lakes to do good and accumulate virtue, which can also make him very strong, and of course he can walk well.
The light rain is still sparse and sparse, and the ox cart full of goods walks extremely the muddy mountain road, although there are several teams in the inn to take on such an escort mission, but after receiving the task, only the members of the team can see each other, and the NPC merchants are some unsmiling wooden people (or simply low-IQ NPCs), so the whole journey is cold, and the raindrops fall on the branches and leaves are particularly crisp.
Blade and his friends, the students who played games more than they read, looked a little nervous, and instead of the jokes they had begun, they each drew their weapons and waited for them. Nine people have several professions, but the equipment can only be regarded as ordinary.
"Relax! No big deal. An Ran patted the rough-looking boy who walked cautiously and comforted.
"Hmm!" The man who had chosen to fight tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.
"Apprentice follows as a teacher," Fan Yuntian, who was walking in front, shouted indifferently, "Let you see what a real assassin is." ”
After saying this, the NPC kid quietly disappeared in place, and his apprentice Blade was looking around for his master.
"Brother An Ran, there are three on the left and give them to me, and the five under the pine tree on the right will be handed over to you." Fan Yuntian had already hidden himself to his master's side and whispered to him.
"There are four of you over there," An Ran said sarcastically after reminding, "You're still a assassin, and your perception ability is not as high as Lao Tzu's." ”
"Is there an enemy targeting us?" Several people who heard them suddenly became extremely nervous.
"Just keep our formation, the years are quiet and the young lady is sunset, you two are in the middle of the crowd, yes, that's it, don't worry that the NPC will rub the oil of the two of you, as a male classmate of warriors and warrior monks, remember to protect your goddess and the output of the C position."
"I hate it!" One girl said, "These stupid NPCs won't be as dishonest as Brother Enron." ”
"Well done!" Fan Yuntian, who could only see a vague shadow, dropped a sentence and touched a slope on the left.
"Why the am I not honest?" An Ran thought depressedly that his figure flashed away, and smashed all his depression at the bandits who were hiding behind the pine trees and watching.
There was a crackling sound almost simultaneously on the left and right, followed by wails as strings of crimson damage burst out on the branches and blades of grass in the dark woods.
A big man covered in blood and wearing a sackcloth shirt suddenly jumped out of the forest on the right and ran towards the front of the convoy, his face was hideous and screaming, and a faster gray figure reached behind him in an instant.
An Ran pressed the back of the bandit's head with one hand, pinched the bandit's jaw with the other, and pushed the man covered in blood with both feet to run towards a bowl-sized pine tree, the two figures became faster and faster, faster and faster, only to hear the 'bang', the bandit's head was pressed by An Ran and hit the pine tree, the damage value exploded suddenly, and the corpse fell to the ground softly.
His movements were too fast, and the people standing next to the ox cart couldn't see clearly how An Ran had brought such a strong bandit to the pine tree in an instant, only that there were two blurred figures rushing towards the pine tree, and then after a loud bang, the bandit's unlucky man died.
Suddenly, a girl screamed, closed her eyes and threw out a soul fire talisman.
Fan Yuntian, who jumped back to the side of the ox cart from the slope, knew that his teammate's skills could not hurt him, so he allowed the fire talisman that shot at him to pass through his chest and drill out from his back and hit the ground.
"Don't come here!" The other girl cried out with a pale face.
"What are you doing?" Fan Yuntian didn't know what was going on at all, and he was at a loss.
"Throw away the dead man's head from your hand!" An Ran came to the NPC kid's side with a smile, "You surnamed Fan scared our little sister." ”
Fan Yuntian then remembered that when he had just dealt with the four bandits, he had killed them, forgetting that he was still carrying a bloody bandit head.
"Damn!" He threw his head into the grass on the slope and learned An Ran's modern words, "You have such a small guts, a group of pig teammates." ”
Except for these two girls, the rest of the people were shocked beyond measure, is this a team up to get a copy? According to the previous dungeon, didn't the teammates form a good formation, with the shooters leading the monsters, opening the monsters, the warrior monks and warriors in front of the attack, the shooters and mages fighting the damage, and then the assassins and swordsmen entering the field to harvest? And then once you encounter the boss, you can only rely on the number of people, do you consume it all at once? Who has ever seen a wolf-like way of killing monsters like An Ran and Fan Yuntian? Who would dare to think about that?
"I've already said that," Dao Okawa, whose game name is 'Blade', began to boast, "I'm Brother An Ran and Master are amazing!" Who can knock these bandits to the ground with a few swipes? Can the swaggering gang bosses do it? ”
"Wow!" The good-looking boy had a look of adoration on his face, "This Nima is too powerful!" Brother An Ran, you really don't lose the god of bamboo cane, I think about it, I want to worship you as a teacher and mess with you from now on. ”
"And me!"
"And me!"
“……”
An Ran's head is big, won't he have to drag a string of small tails behind his ass in the future?
"It's getting late, and we'll have to keep going, kind adventurers." Thankfully, a leading NPC merchant interrupts the player's cult of personality.
"Blades, you guys go clean up the battlefield," An Ran, who was the captain, commanded, "There are no bandits around here." ”
So Dao Dachuan took a few boys to pick up the coins and equipment that the bandits exploded, and then they were surprised to find that these bandits were actually elite monsters of more than 40 levels, and they were currently only at more than 40 levels of the level to complete this escort task, because ordinary equipment and ordinary players need at least three or four to deal with an elite monster of the same level, and this task is obviously for those players in their fifties.
It's just that because there are two levels in the team that have exceeded level 60 and are fierce like cattle, these boys and girls have become as easy as an outing when they go through dangerous places, and they have the opportunity to become a crowd of melon eaters who applaud, and when they are lonely, they will punch a few times, slash a few times, use a few skills, make up for the state, and then wait for the fight to end and then pick up the equipment, and the previous tension is swept away.
There was a little accident in the hinterland of the wild boar forest, and the young people were easy to go from one extreme to the other, and they jumped directly from being cautious and nervous to not caring at all, and the twenty or so elite bandits who surrounded them opposite were actually full of contempt, as if they were surrounding people.
"This road is open for me, and this tree is planted for me. I want to live from now on and leave to buy road money. The bare-chested, bearded bandit leader used this opening statement.
"Fuck off! Good dogs don't get in the way. Dao Dachuan was furious.
"Buy your mom and fuck us." One person is abusive.
"The mothers of this NPC are all seventy or eighty years old, Wang Yueyue, you have a really strong taste." The two girls covered their mouths and laughed.
Then the bandit leader with a fierce face was completely blinded, and the adventurers' unreasonable cards made him stunned for a long time, and then the bandit leader, who felt that he and his old mother were insulted, was about to erupt into flames.
"Brothers, slash and kill this group of doggy adventurers for Lao Tzu!" He was the first to charge with a machete.
Ay! These fearless boys and girls! Their insulting words made the bandits who could not beat and run up determined to fight to the death, so the originally slack team was made more porous under the impact of the bandits.
Fan Yuntian and An Ran couldn't protect every teammate while killing the enemy, not to mention that the first thing they had to take care of was those NPC merchants who were standing by the ox cart trembling and powerless, if any NPC died, then their escort mission would be a complete failure.
When the master and servant did their best, like two firefighters fighting fires, when they eliminated the enemy and saved the NPC merchants, three of the team had already been injured and two were killed and went to the graveyard to be resurrected.
The girl with hemorrhoids at the corner of her mouth squatted on the ground in shock, and she was watching her best friend's body gradually disappear from the ground.
"This game is terrifying!" She thought, "That arrow went through Ying Mei'er's chest from her vest, and her neck was cut off in half and she was bleeding a lot....... fortunately that man saved me, otherwise I would have been hacked to death by bandits and went to the cemetery with Ying Mei'er to be resurrected." ”
"It's all over," a hand stretched out to her, "You're a mage, and when you encounter an enemy slashing at you in the future, the first thing you have to do is to use the 'flash' skill to pull you apart, instead of closing your eyes and waving your hands around." ”
She seemed a little embarrassed, still thinking about the scene where the arm took her around in a circle to avoid the bandit's slash to the neck, "It's kind of like dancing in the crowd, isn't it?" She thought.
The name of the game is 'Time is Jinghao', and the girl whose real name is Qu Shiya slowly raised her hand and asked him to pull herself up.
There was no turmoil along the way, until he entered Jian'an City and completed the escort task, An Ran always felt that there was a pair of big eyes secretly looking at him, which made the handsome young man a little uncomfortable.
