Chapter 3 First Mission
The streets of the town of Aipo are not spacious, but there are many people who set up stalls, and the goods on each stall are dazzling, and the materials and equipment skill books are so on. Xie Lang casually looked at it when he passed by, compared the equipment with the same quality as the crescent moon thorn, and found that the price was at least more than twenty silver coins, and he couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out to be so valuable, no wonder that the warrior could drink the vial of instant blood qi worth five silver coins in one gulp in order to kill the mutant slime. However, although these equipment are good, they can only be seen, and where does he have spare money to buy equipment.
In addition to setting up stalls, life skills are also highly sought after by players. Forging and sewing, alchemy, enchanting, smelting, etc., became one of the main themes of the player at night.
Xie Lang hasn't learned life skills yet, it's not that he doesn't need it, but he doesn't have that time yet, every time he can't go out of the city to kill monsters and practice at night, the place he stays in the most is the library, he has no game experience, and he doesn't have a mentor, only books are an important source for him to get the knowledge he needs.
The library in the small town of Aipo is not large, and the furnishings are a little dilapidated, the only few tables and chairs are broken, and they are swaying when they sit on them, and the number and variety of books are even more pitiful, and some of them are even incomplete, but there is a kind of elegant atmosphere unique to books, which Xie Lang likes very much.
The library's fees are not expensive, only a nominal charge of five copper coins at a time, and even if you are as poor as Xie Lang, you will not skimp on this money. There were only a few people in the library, so Xie Lang grabbed a copy of "A Brief Discussion of the Assassin's Battle" and found a place to sit quietly.
"Assassins are known for their speed, and their precise positioning and attacks can often catch their opponents off guard. If speed is the life of an Assassin, then skill is the soul of an Assassin, and the two complement each other to make the Assassin burst with fearsome power......"
Xie Lang was completely immersed in books, hungry for bits and pieces of knowledge, like a long dry grass meets a clear sweet spring. He was still very unfamiliar with the profession of assassin, and many questions were suddenly opened up when they encountered the explanations in the book. But if you want to really become a top assassin, it is obviously not enough to rely on theory alone, it must be combined with practice, and it is possible to achieve it, but this must go through a lot of practice and exploration, all in all, on the road of assassins, Xie Lang has just begun to start, and there is still a long, long way to go.
Time is always slipping away without even noticing, especially when you're focused on one thing. Xie Lang finished reading this book "A Brief Discussion on the Battle of the Assassin", stretched his waist, and inadvertently looked at the wooden window out of the corner of his eye, the breeze playfully gently plucked the window screen, and a ray of morning light came in, the sky was already bright, Xie Lang didn't know, it turned out that he had read a book all night.
The rising sun, which sends away unsettling darkness, always gives a sense of hope. A new day, a new battle, is about to begin.
Xie Lang is not in a hurry to kill monsters and level up, he understands that if you want to quickly improve your level and strength, it is not enough to kill monsters alone, and taking on some tasks appropriately can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The town of Aipo was not so much a small town as it was a slightly larger village, with only a few dozen pitifully small bungalows, and it didn't take long for Xie Lang to walk through the main streets of the town.
A little girl about five or six years old wearing a small flower dress with double braids came over, but her pretty little face was sad, and she muttered to herself: "The mushrooms in the forest taste so good, I really want to taste them again, but the wild boars there are so terrible, what should I do!"
Several players walked past the little girl, but they only talked about today's leveling plans, not noticing what she was saying.
Never complain that there is no opportunity, sometimes the opportunity is clearly around you, but you just miss it carelessly.
Xie Lang felt that this was most likely a task.
The high intelligence of NPC is one of the major features of virtual online games, it will not be like traditional online games, with a big exclamation mark erected above the NPC's head to guide the player to take the task, but needs to be triggered by the player through talking to the NPC or other factors.
Xie Lang immediately stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, do you need any help?"
The little girl's eyes were full of grievances, "You know what? The mushrooms in the forest taste really good, and I love those mushrooms the most! It's just that a group of wild boars have come running out of nowhere recently, they are really hateful, and they often hurt people who enter the forest, and I dare not go in......" The little girl said, her eyes flashed with some water, and infinite grievances seemed to melt people's hearts.
Xie Lang stroked the little girl's head, "It's okay, my brother can help you, I will definitely help you defeat those hateful wild boars and help you pick back delicious mushrooms!" Is it good?"
The little girl's face was full of anticipation and excitement: "Good!"
System: Whether to accept the mushroom picking task, the task requirements, help the little girl enter the forest to pick twenty mushrooms, the task difficulty is C.
This is indeed a task, and through dialogue, Xie Lang triggers this task.
There are six levels of difficulty, with SS at the highest level, followed by S, A, B, C, and D. C-level tasks, which can be completed by ordinary players on their own, are not too difficult.
After taking the task, Xie Lang walked around the town again, and after making sure that there was no task to take, he set off for the wild boar forest.
The wild boar forest and the bat forest are adjacent, but the environment is not the same, there are few tall trees, most of them are shrubs, and the sunlight shines sporadically on the ground through the canopy, which is less gloomy, more like a forest in reality, giving people a sense of harmony and nature.
However, some of the large figures in earthy gray appear to be a bit of an eyesore in this picture.
Boar monster, level 6, HP 210.
Xie Lang's current level is only three levels, but the level of these wild boar monsters is twice as high as his, with Xie Lang's current strength, it is obviously a little difficult to fight against these wild boars, unless he is equipped with a crescent dagger after being promoted to level five, but the distance between the two levels, to say the least, will take a day or two to complete.
Just when Xie Lang was feeling embarrassed, he inadvertently found a few ashy mushrooms growing under a tree out of the corner of his eye. A slap on the head: "Yes, the task requirement is not for me to kill wild boars, but to pick mushrooms." It may be difficult to kill them, but it's not easy to dodge. ”
Sneak.
Xie Lang's body gradually disappeared. He had worked on the skill of stealth in the first place, and how many assassins could improve this skill to the intermediate level in such a short period of time? Unless it's like him who abandons higher-level monsters and concentrates on killing slimes to practice.
Although he was in a stealth state, Xie Lang still didn't dare to relax, his steps were as light as possible, and even the dead branches and leaves on the ground were as far as he could.
The boar monster only turned over the dirt on the ground with its nose, occasionally raised its head and looked around blankly, as if feeling something approaching, but when it looked at it but found nothing, it lowered its head and looked for food.
After bypassing the boar monster, he roughly estimated the hatred distance of this monster, squatting and picking will destroy the stealth skill, and the distance is too close to be easily attacked by the wild boar monster, this is not that Xie Lang is thoughtful or experienced, but some experience and knowledge he has seen in the book. However, no matter how good the book is, only the flexible use of the knowledge in it is the last word.
About fifteen yards away, even if it is a level ten monster, the hatred distance will not be so large, Xie Lang looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he lifted the stealth, squatted down and gently plucked the mushroom.
Relying on the gourd to draw the scoop, Xie Lang used the same method, and without even a single battle, he picked six mushrooms, which only took five minutes.
"It doesn't seem to be very difficult, so I can get six flowers so quickly." Xie Lang is still a little satisfied, these wild boars look stupid and simple, if it weren't for the task, Xie Lang is a little itchy and really wants to kill a few heads, if he is lucky, he may be able to produce equipment.
However, Sheron soon learned how wrong this was. As he sneaked, he focused all his attention on a wild boar not far away, but suddenly another one ran out of the bushes and crashed into him without warning.
The stealth was destroyed, and Xie Lang's figure was revealed.
Spotting the intruder, the boar monster immediately showed its furious side, its sharp fangs becoming the deadliest weapon and rushing straight at it. The seemingly clumsy and naïve body is full of wildness and power at this time.
Where does Xie Lang dare to take it hard, if it is a higher-level warrior, maybe he will be so sure. He saw the timing and dodged the boar's attack with a sideways dodge. The posture of the boar monster, it seems that he will not stop if he doesn't kill Xie Lang, there is no way, there is only hard resistance, an ordinary monster, although the level is a little higher, but it will not lose to it.
Adjusting his mentality, Xie Lang was more focused. The boar monster turned back, picked up some dust from the ground with its front legs, and rushed again.
The boar monster has a lot of strength and speed, and the consequences of a slight mistake are likely to be serious. Barrier breathing, clenching the dagger, the boar monster quickly rushed to him.
Turn over and turn.
Smothering.
While dodging the boar monster's attack, the smothering skill strikes at the right time.
As if he had lost his mind, the sturdy boar monster swayed back and forth in place, falling into a state of vertigo. Xie Lang was not idle, the dagger in his hand quickly left scars on the boar's body, although the boar monster had a strong defense, but it was still beaten out a lot of blood.
Xie Lang felt that his strength was still a little worse, especially the attack that broke out in an instant was seriously insufficient, after an attack, the boar monster still had more than half of his blood, but there was no skill available, if the attack was a little higher, or there was a skill, then the situation would be much simpler.
It's already so hard to deal with an ordinary monster, so what confidence is there to challenge the more powerful mutant monsters, boss monsters, and even elite monsters?
Fortunately, these boar monsters did not attract companions to besiege, Xie Lang did not attack, but chose to scratch a knife after each dodge the attack of the boar monster, although each time only caused a few points of attack damage, but the tactics worked, after a few rounds, the boar monster's blood volume has bottomed out, but despite this, the attack power of the wild boar is still too strong, each time it can cause more than fifty points of blood, only two attacks, Xie Lang's blood volume is only the last trace.
Success or failure, it's up to you this time.
The boar monster is like a small armored car, and it rushes at it with brutality. Xie Lang didn't dare to be careless at all, he saw the opportunity, his footsteps moved sideways, and the dagger in his hand sealed his throat with blood, completely ending its life.
