Chapter 4: The Lost and Found Task
Albeit.
I've played thousands of online games and seen thousands of online game systems.
But.
But I was still so deeply stimulated by the sight that I couldn't help myself.
Four crumbling and dilapidated houses.
Seven or eight widows with blue names are lonely.
A ring of tattered bamboo fences surrounds this small village.
Outside, it's a barren and lonely wilderness.
β¦β¦
"Isn't this a cheat! How can there be this! Whatever! Break! What a newbie village! β
Next to him, a man holding a rusty dagger couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and cursed loudly.
And that's exactly what I'm trying to express right now.
Although it was learned in advance from the official website that there are differences in the place of origin, players can either be born in a large village in the fertile plains, a neutral village around a town, or a small village in the forest......
But either way, it's certainly fair relative to resources.
Either there are many NPCs in the village, which can give you an advantage in quest experience; Otherwise, there are many resources at the edge of the village, which can take advantage of materials.
But.
The handful of old, weak, sick and disabled NPCs in front of me, the dilapidated hut that I felt like they could be kicked off with one kick, and the harsh environment outside made me question the word "fairness" tremendously.
For a moment, I felt that I and the players around me were unfortunate candidates who were being targeted by the system.
Even the most basic village resources such as pharmacies and blacksmith shops are completely unseen.
But complaining is complaining, and the reluctance in front of you will never break the self-confident person.
Although some people are still there to scold indignantly, more people have calmly chosen to accept the reality.
Soon, the few players were working on their own plans.
There are those old and weak NPCs who talk to find tasks; There are monster-infested areas outside the village with rudimentary weapons; There are also those who shout to form teams and pull gangs.
The busy atmosphere also inspires me, everyone is busy with the things at hand, then I naturally can't be idle, a good start is crucial for the future upgrade path, leisurely for a while, maybe it will be left behind by excellent people.
While thinking so, I took the initial wooden stick and put on the initial cloth clothes, and went straight to the outside of the village.
To be honest, I really don't have much idea about the tasks that these NPCs might give me.
I don't deny that there is a part of the idea of judging people by their appearance, but more of them feel that they don't have things that I need too much.
Just as I stepped out of the fence gate of the novice village and was about to head towards the wilderness plain not far away to brush low-level monsters, a little kid squatting on the ground and crying outside the fence suddenly caught my eye.
Perhaps because he was so short that many people who went out early didn't notice the child.
But!
I don't have a lot of concentration, but I like to look around, and the habit of being often named and criticized by teachers in class comes in handy here!
I knew that I was born to be useful, and such a small NPC that is difficult to find must have hidden quests or generous rewards!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think a little wrong, licked my lips and rubbed my hands and walked towards the hairy child.
"Brute! Get out of the way! β
Just as I stretched out my unarmed hand to touch the child NPC, there was a thick scolding from behind me, which scared me.
Turning my head, I saw a rough man with five big and three thick, holding a small staff with a significant difference in size, looking at me with angry eyes, his eyes full of anger that could not be concealed.
I'll go! Within five minutes of entering the game, I encountered a bullying incident???
At first glance, the bear looks.,It's the type that usually likes to bully the weak.,I really think of the game as my own territory! Isn't this an environment where a big block can be strong, right? I'll be afraid of you?
I turned, puffed up my confident chest, and stared at him with wide eyes, keeping an unlost eye on him.
"What's the matter, grabbing the task in broad daylight? You're quite reasonable, right? Don't accept the PK! I'm afraid of you when you're all first-level novices? β
After listening to my imposing rhetorical question, the big man was visibly more angry, and walked towards me with grinning teeth.
As I expected, he was a grumpy fool.
"I'm robbing you of the mission? I won't rob you of a scumbag mission that is so obscene that it explodes! β
He walked straight up to me, relying on his height advantage half a head above me, forming a condescending sense of oppression, and at the same time deliberately raising his voice a little.
These words made my little temper rush to my head instantly.
It's okay to call me stupid, it's okay to call me mean, but I can't agree to call me lewd! This is disrespectful to my whole person's quality!
"Why do you call me lewd? Someone am I molesting or insulting someone! Are you sick, bloody mouth! β
The quarrel caused the players passing by to gather in a circle to look lively, and under the crowd of onlookers, the big man even more aggressively, staring at me with wide eyes, his eyes were full of "you are so shameless".
"As soon as I got out of the village, I saw you smiling so obscenely, rubbing your hands and licking your lips, taking a wooden stick and running to other people's children, making everyone cry! ! Do you have any special habits of your own, rub against the wall by yourself! Actually attack such a small child! I'm telling you! The game is not the place for you to indulge your dirty desires! I would never condone a lewd man like you! β
"Papapa......!!!"
His impassioned remarks didn't make me feel bad, but the prolonged applause from the people around me left me speechless.
I looked at the prop in my hand, then at the kid who was crouching in the corner crying, and suddenly realized that he might have misunderstood something.
"This ......, oh! No, no, no, you listen to me, I think you are you misunderstood. β
"Misunderstand you banana bara! People get stolen goods, what else do you have to quibble! β
As he spoke, the big man stepped forward and pushed me aside, then went over with a look of pity and picked up the child and comforted me.
At this moment, I actually saw in him a faint brilliance that only a great father would have!
The embarrassing situation left me speechless for a while, and I could only stand stupidly in place and not know what to do.
And the people around who were watching the excitement saw this scene and were all moved, and they applauded for the big guys, and then the slogan slowly unified into "Lewd men get out!" ".
Although it is really wronged, I know that if I forcibly explain at this time, it will only add fuel to the fire, admit my mistake, and it will ease the situation.
Looking at the scene of the incessant accusations of the people around me, I chose to give in, calm my mind, and then slowly lowered my head, showing a very sincere attitude.
"I'm sorry everyone!! I was just joking with the kids, but I didn't expect it to have such a serious impact, and I want to apologize to everyone, to this kid, and promise that this kind of thing will not happen again!! In the future, I will never do such a childish and vulgar act again, and please be able to supervise it. β
Obviously, my observation of the situation was not bad, and the otherwise unfriendly crowd was instantly filled with voices of forgiveness.
After satisfying their little vanity of righteousness and bravery, people also slowly dispersed and went to do their own things.
Call~!
Breathe a sigh of relief!!
If you are hung up with an "obscene" sign as soon as you enter the game, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk in the future.
What's more, I want to save face, suffering is a blessing, scratching my head and thinking about it, in fact, forget it.
Coming back to my senses, I remembered the kid who caused the incident, and quickly turned around to look at the place where the big guy was.
At this time, the big man had already walked away, leaving only the child standing in place and already laughing, looking at the back of the big man who had walked out more than ten meters away with an expectant expression.
Standing next to the child, I also quietly watched the big man gradually move away, although there was some small friction, but I felt that I really couldn't hate him.
After all, people who dare to stand up to sin in this society are truly worthy of admiration.
Thinking of this, I actually have some respect for him.
The big man in the distance seemed to remember something, and he slowly stopped, looked back at the little child with loving eyes, and then looked at me with his eyes, and then ......
Revealing a pair of poles! Degree! Traitor! Cheat! smiles.
β¦β¦
οΌοΌοΌ
Wait a minute!!
Before I could recover from my emotion, I suddenly realized something!
Give the dummy!!!
The big head in the distance was trying to prove my suspicions, and the villain's smile grew brighter, and then he twisted the disgusting bucket waist and turned to leave.
I rubbed it! I'm still infected by his righteousness! He actually took advantage of the accusations of the crowd around him, bluffed, and then secretly snatched the task that should have belonged to me!
The human heart is unpredictable! The world is hot and cold! Society is sinister! Shameless!
To be honest, I couldn't have imagined that just for a small task that might only have a small reward, he actually resorted to a lot of advanced military techniques such as attacking the east and west, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and stealing beams and changing pillars!
But what can be??
The crowd around him has not yet dispersed has become a cover for him to blatantly stride away, the task has been lost, and going up to fight with him will only make him fall back into the accusations of public opinion, thinking of the consequences of this kind of gain outweigh the losses, it is really to see him at large but unable to do anything.
I quickly turned back to the kid to see if I could take the task.
But no matter how much I asked questions, the children ignored me as if I were air, and just jumped up and ran away on their own.
At this moment, I felt that my mentality had exploded, so I had to squat on the ground with my hands on my head and sulk, I was really angry and tired after playing a good game.
"The truth is often only in the hands of a few, because the majority choose to blindly follow the herd, so there is a difference between ignorance and wisdom."
Just when the clouds were thick in my head, a pleasant female voice gently came out of my ears, although the hoarse voice was slightly green, but it could not hide the maturity and elegance in the words.
Or maybe! It was such wise words that made her voice sound like heaven!
That's right! That's exactly what a movie should be! The goddess is here!
When the hero encounters setbacks, a rational! Beautiful! And the otherworldly goddess appeared!!
I stretched out my heartiest smile and slowly raised my head, fantasizing about an angelic face coming into my eyes.
β¦β¦
The eyes are facing each other.
β¦β¦
In front of me, a woman who looked like I could have angina pectoris was looking at me affectionately, which made me really unimaginable that human beings after minor adjustments could still have such an unusual appearance.
For some reason, the image of the Tyrannosaurus rex roaring suddenly appeared in my mind.
"Brother, are you engaging in a partner?? I'm a weak woman, I just came in and didn't understand anything, I wanted a man as righteous as you to protect me, I noticed you from the moment I came in, I saw everything completely from beginning to end, and I was able to vouch for it with my own personality!! Brother, you are absolutely innocent!! β
Ahem, ahem, ahem!! Ahem, ahem, ahem!!
The sudden impact of sight and sound made me almost out of breath.
Old girl!!
You say you, talk and spit stars, forget it,
What are you doing with a fluttering blink!!
Your brother and my heart can't stand it!!
In other words, is this a confession??
At this moment, I have no way to express my feelings, I can only turn my head and run with tears in my eyes, I don't want to say a word, I just want to get out of here right away, out of this place that gives me a headache.
β¦β¦
After a brief moment of self-consciousness in a secluded corner, I picked up a small wooden stick and began a new exploration.
A small disadvantage is just the beginning, how can it affect my future ambitions?
I still have a lot of honor, money, status, a lot of things to pursue, how can I be self-negative for a small setback?
The little problem of thick skin has become the motivation for me to stay alive and persevere.
So, after self-regulation, I have taken my first steps in the world.

[Paralysis]: A passive skill that has a low chance of paralyzing the enemy and slowing down the enemy's movement when attacking.
I met love around the corner, just turned behind a tree, and the cyan mosquito that had been the size of the basin flapped its wings and "buzzed" in front of me, and there was such a small forest near the village, and I didn't think that the monster spawning rate was not bad.
Under the condition that the low-level monsters in the early stage are slow to refresh, each monster is a valuable resource worth fighting for, and if you can rely on your character to burst out some low-level equipment, you can increase your combat power a lot in the early stage!
Having said that, it has been more than ten minutes since I came in, but for one reason or another, I haven't been able to remember to check my attributes, know myself and the enemy, and win all battles!

(Not owned)
Equipment: None
Strength, physique, agility correspond to attack, blood volume and speed respectively, the ratio is 1:5, this attribute calculation is not too cumbersome, but there will be bonuses of different attributes on the equipment in the future, and the following one is not owned, it may mean that it will rely on equipment or transfer to add more potential attributes.
At present, it seems that there is no big problem for me to kill the hand monster in front of me, but the attributes in the early stage are low, and there is basically no skill or anything like that, it is purely by exchanging blood to fight monsters, and don't think about the blood medicine in the early stage, the money is not so easy.
Raising the wooden stick in my hand, which had just been mistaken for a crime tool, I smashed it at the big mosquito with all my might, because the wooden stick was still a little heavy, so the power of swinging it felt very strong and very hitting.
β-10β
I have to admit that the actual value still makes people feel a little lost, you know, in real life, the power of this stick can stun or even kill an adult.
β-3β
It's good, its soft counterattack makes me completely ignore it, because its sluggish attributes are really not worth my too cautious treatment, and this mosquito is not as difficult as the swarms in reality, and the lone one one really saves me a lot of effort.
Speed, this attribute determines a lot of factors in the character, such as the speed of moves, the speed of movements, the speed of running, and even the speed of releasing skills.
And the main reason why the skill is not high in the early stage is also because of the sluggish speed, which also leads to many times when you can clearly see the attack, but because of the difference in your own speed, you can't dodge it in time.
It took me nearly a minute to kill this mosquito, because it hit a "paralyzing" attack, which caused my subsequent character movements to be very slow.
After a hard battle, I looked at the corpses that fell on the ground with a bitter face, and I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, I always felt that my character was not bad, but the current situation of not even having a copper plate still hit me a little.
And this hard fight only gave me 2 experience points, which is strange to be more difficult to deal with than a stupid pig and a stupid dog or something, although the gap is not very big, but only a little more experience points is still a little annoying.
Looking at the amount of blood I had left in my early 60s, I thought about whether I should continue to clean up the mosquitoes or go back to compete for those low-level pig and dog monsters.
In the former, my HP is definitely not enough, and I have to wait for the HP to automatically recover.
The latter, not to mention whether it is possible to grab it, is not efficient.
Laziness began to nuisance my head, left no, right no, so I can only keep walking, maybe I can run into some leak for me to pick up, how comfortable it is!
After walking a few tens of meters, the grove came to the edge, it was not big, and I didn't expect anything new here, so I poked out with the wooden stick in my hand, trying to get rid of a bush in front of me that blocked the view and the way.
β-5β
"Congratulations on your upgrade, current level: 2."
With a circled face, I froze in place, holding a stick in my hand.
In front of me, the big guy who had just snatched the task in my hands, holding a small staff, was panting at me.
On the ground, there was a weasel with rolled eyes.
The eyes are opposite, a little awkward.
"You dead lewd man! After harassing the children, don't say anything, come to make trouble with me again! Are you a psychopath? I'm sick! β
For this kind of person, I can't imagine why he still has the courage to beat me down, all the skill points in your life have been added to the skin, right?
There should be a limit to being brazen, right?
But the quarrel did not continue, for in the middle of the two of us, the dead weasel had just lost his breath and let go, when a shiny ring fell out of his mouth, spun twice on the ground, and lay there quietly.
The situation that was about to erupt suddenly calmed down, and at this moment, the two of them were staring at each other's movements, and the thoughts in their heads were surprisingly synchronized.
"Smack!"
The two figures shot almost at the same time, but the clumsiness of the mage class couldn't keep up with my agility, and I grabbed the ring and turned to run, leaving him with a dog in the air.
"Give it back! You villain! β
The big man got up and chased after me, but I completely ignored his vexatious demands.
If you let me give it to me? I'm not stupid, isn't your ass three degrees whiter than others?
"It's just that you don't have this creation and fate!"
As a warrior, I'm not as fast as an assassin, but it's more than enough to get rid of you as a mage, and I don't even forget to turn around and tease him when I'm angry.
β¦β¦
Five minutes later.
"You kid, there's a kind of standing up and talking like a man! What kind of thing to hide! Get out of here! β
In the distance, the shouts of large men resounded over the village, and although the village was not very large, the scattered bushes and the people who were beginning to multiply were excellent cover for me to hide.
Shaking off the annoying chunk, I wondered about sneaking around looking for the kid who had posted the quest earlier, trying to see if I could get it back again.
"Big brother, is the ring with you?"
As I crouched behind the bushes to observe the situation in the village, a childish voice sounded behind me.
When I turned my head, it was the child I had been looking for for a long time.
And the inquiry he took the initiative to send me couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that this task does not distinguish who is the person who takes it, only to hand over the ring to this child.
"yes, is this the ring you want?"
I pulled out the ring, and the child looked delighted.
"Thank you, big brother!"
The child who took the ring turned his head and jumped away.
Alas, I say? Do you take it and leave? Where's my reward???
Just as I was about to yell at the child to ask for my fair share, a prompt from the system gave me the result I wanted.
"Congratulations to the player Xingyu for completing the mission: [Find the Ring]."
"Player Xingyu obtains the quest item, [with sword]."
