Chapter 62: SSS+
The Kanvida Merchant, the most lucrative quest publisher in the Novice Village, has an indefinite number of slots, and will be randomly teleported once an hour. They tend to take the initiative to talk to the player when they see them, and as long as the player speaks the trigger, they can get a collection commission that is higher than any public quest in the Novice Village.
Although the completion time of each task is one hour, as long as you are fast enough, you can repeat it for an hour without limit. In addition, the mission rewards of the Canvida Merchant are only tied to the level of the player who takes the mission, so once you encounter them in the low-level monster area, it is equivalent to picking up an experience maker, and the level up speed will be greatly increased for a full hour.
Well, that's the best strategy that players in the previous life generally agreed on for the merchants of Kanvida. However...... It's wrong.
The reality is so cruel, when you follow the public to go on the same road, you find that what awaits you is actually endless congestion; Those who travel alone in exceptional cases often have a smooth journey.
That's right, the real situation is completely contrary to this strategy, and the Kanvida merchants who appear in the low-level monster area are the ones with the worst returns. Because of the low-level monster area, they only treat you as a manual drudgery; On the contrary, in the High Monster Zone, they will be called brave warriors.
Warrior or hard laborer, who is more honorable? He figured no one could tell the difference.
There was a crackling and a burning sound of dry wood coming from the fire.
With the help of the bright firelight, the Kanvida merchant who cooked porridge was the first to discover the three of Ling Chuan.
"Oh! It's a young warrior from the village of Urwu! He hurriedly got up, and his depressed expression was instantly filled with surprise.
The other three hurriedly greeted them, and when they saw Ling Chuan and the three of them, their eyes burst out with a thick brilliance, "It's really the warriors of Wu'er Wu Village!" Look at this burly body and excellent equipment, you must be the best warrior in the village of yourwu! ”
Yi Han and Ling Feixue were flattered by these merchants, and Ling Chuan was experienced in a hundred battles, walked half a step, stood in front of the two of them, and was just about to politely talk to the merchant who cooked porridge, but his eyes swept to the cuffs of the outermost merchant, and at the opening of the cuff buttons, an extremely faint blue was discovered by the black pupils who ignored the night.
"Blue?!"
His eyes shrank imperceptibly, no, there was foreshadowing!
Hurriedly overturning all the words that had been organized, Ling Chuan turned around, gave a simple gentlemanly salute to the peripheral merchant, and said with a smile, "Venerable Kanvida Merchant, we are hunting monsters, passing by here, we found your bonfire, worried that someone would be trapped, I came to check it out, I hope it didn't disturb your time to enjoy dinner." ”
“……”
Hearing Ling Chuan's words and the interlocutor he chose, the three merchants turned from astonishment to amazement, and from amazement to respect, the merchant who was being watched by Ling Chuan smiled kindly, came to the three of them, saluted Ling Chuan back, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there is such a person in such a remote place who knows etiquette like you, in Lower Arnold, is a small caravan captain, these three are my caravan members." ”
"Kelvin."
"Anderson."
"Cook."
As Arnold introduced himself, three other businessmen revealed their names.
At this point, the originally nameless merchant NPCs have all revealed their identities at this moment, in order of Arnold, the caravan captain, Kelvin, the caravan accountant, Anderson, the caravan logistics, and the chef Cook who cooked the porridge.
Heh, Ling Chuan smiled bitterly, the experience of this life is really like censoring an article, no matter how many times you check it, you can always find the flaws and deficiencies of the last time.
In his previous life, he thought that he had achieved perfection in the strategy of random merchants, but now he knows that there is a higher realm above perfection. If it weren't for the [Black Pupil] who accidentally ignored the darkness in his cuffs, who would have noticed that one of the random merchants was actually the captain of the Merchant Brigade of the Seventh Order of the Kanvida Chamber of Commerce?
It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous that in my previous life, I thought that discovering that the refresh time limit of random merchants could be forcibly extended by five times by relying on verbal stimulation and strength display was the final strategy, but I didn't even figure out the NPC that actually triggered the quest.
As soon as he thought about it, he finally understood why the Novice Village was officially called [the place where dreams begin] by the Divine Apocalypse, because there was everything here.
Deeply suppressing the shame in his heart, Ling Chuan adjusted his emotions and continued, "Thanks to your compliment to Captain Arnold, it may be a little abrupt, but when I approached the bonfire just now, I saw that your mood was very low, you ...... Did you encounter any difficulties? ”
Arnold looked at Ling Chuan, sighed and said, "Wise warrior, you are right, we are indeed in difficulty, my caravan was attacked by monsters when passing through the Giant Bear Ridge, it stands to reason that with the strength of the caravan guards, we should not be afraid of those monsters, who knows that there is a strange force in this world that interferes with our actions, once the caravan guards want to use more than twenty combat power, they will be forcibly suppressed by this force." ”
"After a battle, there were a lot of casualties among the monsters, but the guards also suffered casualties, we couldn't fight for a long time, so we could only retreat to a cave to avoid the edge temporarily, originally wanted to wait for the monsters to decrease before breaking through, but after waiting for two days, the monsters outside not only did not decrease, but there were signs of increase."
"The chief of the guard knew that if we waited any longer, everyone would be trapped in the cave, so at his suggestion, all the guards would concentrate on breaking through and send the four of us out safely, so that we could rush to the nearest village of Urwu to seek rescue, but that invisible force was too weird, and whenever we approached the outskirts of the village, we would be forcibly teleported to the outer areas, no matter which direction we entered, the result was the same."
Hearing this, Ling Chuan already understood, where are there any random merchants in the novice village, the so-called random refresh is just a forced teleportation set by the program.
"We know that with this force, it is impossible to get close to the village, so we can only wander around the periphery, and just when we are at the end of our rope, you appear, wise warrior, can you please accept my commission to help me deliver a rescue letter to the chief of Urwu Village, if you can agree, I will give you an extremely rich reward!"
[Ding] The system prompts that you have triggered the hidden quest [Arnold's Rescue Letter] (Difficulty: SSS+), send the rescue letter of the caravan captain [Arnold] to the village chief, and guide the helpers to meet [Arnold], you will get extremely rich rewards, do you accept the task?
“……”
Ling Chuan stared at the difficulty of the task that kept bleeding, and a strong feeling of suffocation welled up in his heart!
Wrong! He seems to have seen this level of task difficulty!
In the third year of the Apocalypse, the forum hung out an inexplicable event that made most people baffled, the disappearance of the 94525 Novice Village!
No one knows where the incident began or ended, no one can explain why it disappeared, and even the post was drowned in a sea of stickers within three days of being posted.
But he's different, he had a lot of time in his previous life, and this post aroused his great interest, and it was this interest that made him look through the replies for a long time, and one of the replies still impressed him, because that reply only had a simple screenshot and three words.
In the screenshot are nine characters.
Difficulty: SSS+
That sentence is only three short words: I'm sorry.
At first, he thought that this picture was P, and he had never seen the difficulty SSS+ for so many years, but now it seems that it was genuine, and the person who replied was probably the cause of the disappearance of 94525 Village.
All in all, this task must not be accepted!
