Chapter 33: A small dispute in Xiushui Town
When he got the face-covering robe and the mixed world wine gourd, An Ran was thinking about what the use of these two things was, although they had a name for pulling the wind and were also given to him by the goddess, but the young man couldn't see that it had any attributes, and Mei Si'an didn't specify what benefits they could bring to him. It wasn't until I came to this Xiushui Town that An Ran understood that the benefit of the so-called face-covering robe is that no matter what good-looking clothes and equipment you wear, you will always look like a tattered beggar; And what about the mixed wine gourd? An Ran didn't know how much wine it needed to fit it.
If these two things are placed on some people, I am afraid they will feel like chicken ribs, but An Ran regards these two things as treasures. Just imagine, there is a dress that can keep one's wealth from being exposed, and a gourd that can hold the world's fine wine, aren't these two things good?
"Where have you been?" An Ran sent a message to Ziya Fishing and urged.
"It's coming! Here it comes! Ziya replied immediately.
An Ran was bored, so he could only wander around with Fan Yuntian and Bailu, trying to buy some equipment and materials in this town, but after walking back and forth for a long time, he found that the things in this town were really not flattering, and the clothes, weapons, and anything sold had no special attributes, and they were not as good as the equipment on Fan Yuntian's body.
So An Ran just changed himself into a civilian outfit that matched his level, the most ordinary kind of civilian clothes, and then added a lot of medicine and food in case of emergencies on the road.
There is only one street in Xiushui Town, and the houses are also dilapidated tiled houses, and there are low-rise shops, teahouses, and restaurants on both sides of the street, which is a transit station from Xiliang City to Huaitao County, and there are no rich monsters for players to level up, and they can't be allowed to stop here, so it is rare for players to wander around the streets, even if there are players, they are in a hurry, and An Ran is an exception.
The handsome young man found a nearby tavern, asked for a pot of wine, half a catty of beef, a bowl of noodles, and sat down at the table on the street with Fan Yuntian.
They were greeted by a hunchbacked old man in a gray hat, who was both the boss and the junior, and he was all doing it alone when he served wine and collected money.
"Adventurer, don't underestimate our Silk Town, although our Silk Town is in tatters, this wine is famous far and wide. Our wine is made from ripe grains and mountain spring water, so guests may wish to buy more and bring a few cans to taste when they are thirsty on the road. The hunchbacked old man said with a smile as he bowed down.
"There's nothing good about Xiushui Town, this wine...... Gee! Fan Yuntian took a big bowl and poured it, "It's delicious!" ”
"Really delicious?" An Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at his servant.
"Pretty good!" Fan Yuntian quickly replied and then began to destroy the bowl of noodles on the table.
"You see this little brother also agrees with our little brother's wine." The old man smiled when he heard the compliment.
The white deer, who had been standing at the table, stomped his hooves.
"Xiaobai, do you want to drink it too?" Ran An turned his head to look at Bailu and asked.
Bailu could understand her master's words, and nodded vigorously.
"What a spiritual deer!" The hunchbacked old man sighed and said, "Is it hungry, wait for the second child to prepare some grass." “
"Thank you, old man." After An Ran thanked him, he immediately stood up and lifted the wine jar on the table and walked to Bailu with the beef, he poured her wine and ate beef for her.
The hunchbacked old man was dumbfounded.
"My white deer eats everything, but it doesn't eat grass, so I don't have to prepare." An Ran smiled at the old man.
Suddenly, six people walked behind them, four men and two women, all young men in bright clothes and armed with good weapons.
"Yes! Now in this world, beasts drink wine and eat, "The person who spoke was a fair-skinned and good-looking long-haired man." "I'm starving to death, and I still have the leisure to feed the animals, it's strange! It's amazing!"
Several people around him burst into laughter.
An Ran ignored this blatant provocation and sarcasm, just frowned and continued to feed Bailu.
The man didn't look at An Ran anymore when he felt bored, and sat down on the other table with a big grin.
"If there is anything delicious and delicious in the store, just serve it!" One said, "Serving grandpa and aunts and grandma is indispensable!" ”
"Yes! Be! A few guest officers, please wait," the NPC hunchbacked old man bowed down and went down to prepare the food and drinks.
The sarcastic An Ran curiously glanced at Fan Yuntian, who was still eating noodles, and found that the equipment on this little young man was surprisingly good, and his eyes rolled unconsciously.
"This brother...... Don't look like a local? He greeted, "Are you interested in going with us to the tomb of Haojie to get equipment?" “
Fan Yuntian still ignored him while eating noodles.
"I said daddy! Are you lacking eyes? This guy is obviously an NPC. Another person next to him with an earring on his left ear reminded.
"Oh! Oh! ”
The person who was called Daddy Knife immediately went back and forth around Fan Yuntian, he changed his mind to see if he could receive a task from an NPC or something, and finally in the sound of Fan Yuntian hula sucking noodles, he had to retreat. Because no matter how arrogant people are, NPCs with knives are generally unaffordable.
"Sanxiao, you said that you can really get good equipment when you go to Haojie's tomb this time? That's a copy of twenty-five! Look at our equipment and level...... Will it work? "The little young man with earrings reminds.
"Bastard!" The emaciated man in white who was called Sanxiao said, "Anyway, there is a lonely smoke boss, what can't be solved?" This time, the tomb of Haojie will definitely be able to clear the customs. “
At this time, the tavern owner came out with a tray, which contained two pots of aged sorghum wine, a plate of peanuts, a large plate of beef and pickles.
"Adventurer guest officer, please use it slowly!" The NPC boss said with a smile.
"That's it?" A woman with a milky white ring on her index finger, wearing a mage robe, and a low neckline was gentle, "Are you old guy afraid that we won't be able to pay for the wine?" ”
"Don't get me wrong!" The NPC boss hurriedly explained: "The cooked vegetables are still in the pot, and this old hen stew needs to be lit." ”
"Oops! Second sister, are you always so anxious? Another short-haired girl in a cyan robe tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Be ladylike, otherwise our brother Mingjian will probably be scared away." “
The hunchbacked old man did not say a word and bowed back to the store.
"Rare, isn't it? Bah! It's good to run away, this girl goes to roll the sheets with Brother Lone Smoke. With that, she took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, twisted a peanut, threw it into her mouth and chewed it.
The bronzed-skinned man beside her, who was called Ming Jian, had a sad face, and could only drink with his head down.
"People will look up to you?" Dad Knife began to fight for his good brother, "Please! Miss He, is it okay to daydream less? ”
"Yo! Yo! Yo! Where are you going? The woman surnamed He sneered, "It's not that I have a better stinky skin and wants to get close to other people's girls, my aunt and grandmother tell you - it's useless!" The person that the girl likes is a person named An Ran, and I heard that she is very handsome and powerful. “
"Awesome?" Dad's knife obviously didn't believe it, and while holding the beef, he asked rhetorically: "Which of you has seen him?" If you want me to say it! It's mostly an embroidered pillow that doesn't really work. “
"Sour! Ouch acid is dead! "Women don't give up.
The man ignored her and ate food while drinking, and began to talk to the people around him about what equipment they would get this time to go to the dungeon, and what kind of status they would have in the guild if they formed a gang.
An Ran was a little annoyed at first, because he didn't provoke these people at all, why did they hurt others and provoke themselves for no reason? But it's normal to think about it carefully, in online games, many guys rely on better equipment, higher levels, and less bullying situations? Dressed in a face-covering robe, he looked shabby and tattered, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with being a little beggar and sarcastic, but he grinned when he thought of this.
The handsome young man had already finished feeding the white deer, and carefully pressed his middle and index fingers against the red lip prints on his forehead to look at the people one by one, and he used his mind-contemplation technique on them. It was found that these people were about twenty-two or three, two warriors, a swordsman, and a warrior monk, and the two women were Taoist priests and mages. This is a good little combination, whether it is going to dungeons to fight equipment or to kill people on the battlefield, they can complement each other. But all these advantages should not become their arrogant capital in the rivers and lakes of China, especially not in the crowd led by the desert lonely smoke.
The tavern owner put a lot of dishes on the table again, and those people were still talking while drinking, Fan Yuntian and An Ran's table had been deserted, and after eating the noodles in the bowl, the NPC kid felt that he should do something, so he stood up and walked to the next table, and directly brought the pot of steaming chicken soup in front of everyone.
"Hey! What are you doing? This is ours! One came back to his senses and shouted.
"I know," Fan Yuntian took a sip while holding the porcelain basin in both hands, "Do you want to ask Huazi to have some?" This chicken soup tastes good. He pursed his lips and said to An Ran.
"Don't make trouble!" An Ran reminded.
Fan Yuntian shrugged indifferently.
The man named Ming Jianren at the other table wanted to say something, and the girl next to him whispered a reminder to let him calm down. "It's not normal for this NPC to do this," she said, "maybe we'll trigger some quest, so let's wait and see." “
So a table of six people watched Fan Yuntian swaggering to serve the plate of fried shredded pork with leeks, Fan Yuntian still didn't take the initiative to pay attention to them, brought the dishes over and ate them alone, and let those who forgot to move their chopsticks look at themselves with a brush.
"You're really not coming?" Fan Yuntian asked An Ran.
"What do you think Lao Tzu can taste like when he eats these things?" An Ran asked rhetorically.
"Cut! Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs. Fan Yuntian replied and stood up and went to the opposite table to serve the third dish, which was a plate of cold pork ears.
Fan Yuntian's silent behavior of serving other people's dishes without moving chopsticks made one of the people at the table really can't help it.
"Is this little brother hungry?" The woman surnamed He was wearing a robe smiled and said, "Even if you eat, what else can we help you with?" “
Fan Yuntian, who was about to reach out to serve the food, looked down at the woman sitting on the stool.
"Nice!" He looked at her chest with squinting eyes and teased: "Do you know why Lao Tzu wants to serve your dishes?" This is called eating overlord meals, do you know why Lao Tzu wants to eat overlord meals? Because that guy just said that you can't beat him alone, he told me to eat, and you don't dare to do anything if I rob you of your things anyway. He gestured to his master, who was standing at another table, also looking at him.
An Ran finally knew what it meant to set himself on fire, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Fuck you!" Fan Yuntian. “
"! What did you say? “
"Bastard! You're looking for death! ”
A group of people seemed to be like cats that had been stepped on by the tail, and suddenly jumped up and pulled out the weapons on their waists. Among them, the soldier who scolded the bastard named Heng Dao simply slapped the big ring knife in his hand on the table, and a wine bowl was smashed and the wine splashed all over the table.
"Who is the bastard scolding?" An Ran asked.
This is Yang Guo's trap-like question in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", An Ran just came in handy here, since Fan Yuntian provoked the incident, he can no longer stay out of the matter, not causing trouble does not mean that he is afraid of someone, besides, these people really should be beaten, as for whether they can beat it? It's only known when you hit it.
"Bastard scolding you!"
The middle-aged man named Heng Dao blurted out, and then he suddenly found that his face was red like a pig's liver, and in order to be ashamed, the middle-aged man held the knife with both hands, and he used the warrior's unique skill 'Charge', and his body instantly glowed red, dragging the red afterimage and quickly crashing towards An Ran.
The man thought like this: "I just need to hit you with this skill, and you will fall into vertigo, and then I will give you a 'chop bone' and you will be useless, although our warriors do not hurt much, but charging into battle and tearing the enemy through a hole is the best." As for the arrogant short NPC to clean up next, Sanxiao is a warrior monk, who can protect the Taoist priest and mage well so that they can cast spells with peace of mind, Ming Jian is a swordsman, his sword can wait for the opportunity to move, and there is the pull of me and Dad's knife, our kind of team can even do the boss in the dungeon, can you turn the world upside down as an NPC in a small town? ”
What he thinks is not bad, this lineup and style of play are probably really impeccable against ordinary players, but Fan Yuntian is not an NPC in the town, he is an NPC who has been on Xiyue Qingyun with An Ran, and he has also learned a skill called 'Shadow Shock'.
Seeing that this man named Heng Dao held the knife with both hands and rushed recklessly towards his master, Fan Yuntian shook his head slightly, and then stretched out his right foot to make a 'mixed fall' just right stuck on the path of the man's charge, his running feet hit Fan Yuntian's calf at once, the man stumbled to the ground, the red light on his body disappeared, and this charge skill was completely abolished.
Fan Yuntian's 'Mixed Fall' did not cause any damage to the opponent, of course, the so-called 'Mixed Fall' is not an assassin's professional skill, it is instantaneous and does not require any cooldown. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be a skill, it's just a basic movement made by the body, so it's not just an assassin, any class can use it, he can, An Ran can, and the enemy on the opposite side can also be, because it's not a professional skill that focuses on damage, so the vast majority of players disdain this basic action most of the time. What is it to fall into a fight with someone? Can you compare to someone who beckons to your opponent with a powerful professional skill?
This is why online games over the years have made players form a fixed mindset, and if you want to be good in online games, you need to have strong equipment, excellent skills, super high levels, flexible hands, excellent awareness and quick reactions. In the past, due to the limitations of technology, the technical competition of players often relied on the speed and reasonable degree of competition of pressing the keyboard or skill keys with both hands, and many skills in online games are dead, it is just an icon, you use your fingers to trigger it, the game character will move according to the designed action, and how much damage can be played depends on the damage given by the designed skill, rather than the strength of the player pressing on the keyboard. The movements and language of the game character, including the game environment, are all designed by the programmer, so no matter how many movements and expressions the game character has, it is still dead and will not be transferred by the player's will.
In the past online games, who would have thought that an NPC would be able to interact with the player as if it were a real person? Their communication with the player is not a pre-designed language or action, but a timely response, is this timely response to the instructions issued by the master brain of Huaxia to the NPC, or is it their own thinking? Speaking of horror, players don't know either. But a large part of the players have slowly understood that relying on the previous way of thinking to play this game will definitely suffer a big loss. For example, these people who are being taught to them by An Ran and Fan Yuntian today.
An Ran originally wanted to take a horizontal leap to dodge the man's powerful 'charge' skill, but Fan Yuntian had already helped him solve this trouble halfway through, so the handsome young man simply took advantage of the situation, and rushed forward again after his feet landed, targeting the two mages and Taoist priests who were preparing to use their skills.
In front of the two women stood a burly warrior monk to escort them, so even when they saw the Heng Knife in the charge being knocked to the ground by the short NPC, they still slowly raised their weapons and cast spells without fear. Then suddenly, there was a flower in front of them, and in two great snapping sounds, one of them was slapped in the face, the two girls were shocked, the spell was interrupted instantly, the frost on the wooden staff of the female mage surnamed He faded, and the 'soul fire talisman' in the hand of the other girl Taoist priest was thrown into the street.
An Ran's figure did not stop, his right hand grabbed the female mage's immature neck and continued to rush forward, a gray figure strung past the warrior monk named 'Xiao Sanxiao', when the handsome young man pressed the female mage against the brick wall next to the tavern door, the unresponsive warrior monk swung his control skill, but unfortunately his fist only hit the air.
When An Ran was trying to subdue the mage, of course Fan Yuntian didn't stop, in fact, the speed of the NPC kid was much faster than his master, when he tripped the reckless warrior to the ground with a 'tripping and falling', he turned around, and the right foot that had just stretched out became a foothold again, he lifted his left foot and grabbed the horizontal beam of the stool and lifted it up hard, and the wooden bench was picked up by him and flew in the air at once, Fan Yuntian instantly jumped forward and made a series of kicks with his feet flying in the air, and kicked the warrior fiercely. On Dad's chest, the powerful impact made the good-looking young man fall backwards in embarrassment.
At this time, the stool was also falling on the top of Fan Yuntian's own head, Fan Yuntian in the air didn't look at it, raised his hands above his head just to catch a wooden leg of the stool, and smashed it into the swordsman who was trying to use the 'free sword' skill, the stool smashed into the head of Ming Jian and broke into several large pieces, the swordsman who was not proficient in his skills had a flower, and he was instantly knocked unconscious, and his blood flowed all over his face.

‘-560‘
"Don't hurt anyone! Fan Yuntian. Holding the female mage's neck, An Ran shouted.
But it was too late, this was the damage that Fan Yuntian hit the two people who broke out, so from the information prompt bar, An Ran saw that his name had turned gray and black.
What does this mean? This is when you take the lead in attacking others, and the system judges it to be dangerous, in this case, of course, others can also fight back, but that is called legitimate defense, and even if you make trouble with the yamen, you will not be punished by the system. As for whether the opponent will be over-scoped, deliberately provoked to kill you or something, this depends on the judgment of the system, if the city's officials bring the two people to the yamen, you need to leave a video to judge who is wrong and who should be punished. The process is very troublesome, for example, the relationship between the NPC county master and a player is not ordinary, so will there be unjust, false and wrongful cases? That's an afterword.
An Ran told Fan Yuntian not to hurt people because he was afraid of this, but because he felt that although these people were arrogant, it was enough to teach them a lesson, and there was no need to kill others and let them lose their equipment and experience. Otherwise, wouldn't he and Fan Yuntian be even more arrogant? But what lessons can the so-called lessons be for players who control game characters? Can you hurt them? Do you really feel pain when you slap them? If you let your character choke someone else's character's neck, you can control the person himself? Joke! At most, the body fixation bracket is just a simulation of this sense of blow and scene, and this simulated sense of blow will not make the player feel too uncomfortable.
However, the threatening effect came out, and beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the woman who was pressed against the brick wall, and An Ran experienced that this was a real person's forehead, and the system portrayed it according to the player's heart rate and body reaction combined with the scene.
‘-12‘
‘-5‘
‘-7‘
‘……’
This is An Ran's force, the system is simulating the damage suffered by the game character being choked by the neck, if he keeps pinching like this, these injuries will jump faster and faster, higher and higher, and eventually the female mage will be judged to be suffocated to death.
Her mouth was trying to open and close, and her eyes showed a pleading look, this woman who controlled the game character surnamed He was indeed frightened by An Ran, in fact, in reality she was shouting: 'Let go of me!' Let me go! I won't mess with you, don't let me lose experience. “
Seeing her begging eyes, An Ran finally relaxed her strength.
"Can you let the two of us go now?" An Ran's eyes stared coldly at this woman.
The female mage nodded vigorously.
"You let her go, and our well water will not interfere with the river water." The Taoist girl shouted.
An Ran really let go of her right hand and let the female mage walk back to their team. "That brother on the ground, feed him a hemostatic pill and he should recover soon." He said.
And this stunned swordsman player, the vision is pitch black, no matter how he struggles in the other world, his game character is always lying at the table with his eyes closed and motionless.
The female mage was disheveled, the corners of her mouth were bloodied, a red slap mark was left on her face, and there were pinch marks on her neck, but now that she had been replaced by a teammate who was waiting for her, the woman repented. Although there is still a teammate lying on the ground, she obviously belongs to the type of person who forgets the pain after the scar is healed.
"Fuck you! Blow them up! She shouted angrily.
"Really?" An Ran clasped her hands in front of her chest, stood straight in front of the brick wall, and looked at the woman with a playful expression.
"Why don't you move?" The woman shouted: "Go to the ......"
Then she saw that the young Taoist priest was put to the neck by the NPC boy with a 'tiger tooth bloodthirsty' dagger and appeared next to the beggar man.
"Sister Funeral Flowers!" The girl cried out.
"If we really don't want to let us go, we'll have to kill her first," An Ran paused, "and then kill you!" “
The handsome young man's tone was cold, as if it was colder than the winter in this game, because these players in the other world felt a deep chill.
"Don't! Big brother has something to say. Dad, who was tripped over, shouted nervously.
An Ran smiled and released the person for the second time, and when the Taoist girl walked towards his own person, he added: "You can continue to regret the try, but next time we will catch you again - it is only three things, we have to kill people." “
This time, they finally kept their promise and walked out of the street without saying a word.
"Stop!" An Ran suddenly commanded in a deep voice.
"You said you wouldn't kill us." The swordsman in the team who woke up from being knocked unconscious said.
"Take the account and leave," An Ran couldn't help grinning, "Heng Dao, Ming Sword, Xiao Sanxiao, damn it!" Would you like to eat a bully meal? That's not how the rivers and lakes go. “
So a group of people paid the NPC boss for the wine under An Ran's gaze in disgrace before leaving angrily, and when they walked to the street, they probably felt that the master and servant should not be able to catch up with them.
"Friends! If you dare to leave your name, our brothers will naturally repay us when we meet in the future. One person learned from the rivers and lakes, and everyone shouted loudly with their hands clasped into fists.
"Nothing to say! The handsome young man replied without looking at them, and then he whispered to himself, "If possible, it won't be long before you know who I am." ”
The wind blew the cloth puff, and An Ran helped the frightened hunchbacked old man clean up the dishes and chopsticks while waiting for the person who was about to appear.
