Chapter 8: Warrior Mentor
Zhang Mo watched the two leave, stood under the willow tree and thought about it, and felt that what they said made some sense, when he watched some game strategies before, he was all saying that he must seize the opportunity and seize the opportunity, and he must keep up with the first echelon in the early stage, otherwise he will basically fall behind in a few days, and this gap will become more and more obvious.
Zhang Mo walked quietly in the village, and when he met an NPC, he walked up to pick up the tasks, but they were all very ordinary tasks. He originally wanted to be close, but the NPCs didn't seem to welcome the player very much, and they didn't want to say a word.
After walking around half of the novice village, he saw an NPC in a blink of an eye. It's an old man with gray hair sitting by the river with a long sword, and the player next to him comes and goes, coming and going, and seems to be an NPC with a mission.
Zhang Mo stepped forward and looked at the nickname on the top of the old man's head, hey, he didn't come in vain, he really found the right person.
【Warrior Mentor - Lu Ji】
Zhang Mo stepped forward and shouted, "Mentor? ”
The old man didn't lift his eyelids.
Zhang Mo wanted to say hello again, but there was no need for this, because the interface he saw had become different from before.
The warrior's primary skills are half moon slash, inch step, hundred steps flying sword, and magic light slash are open to him one by one. Among them, only the Demon Light Slash is the flaunted skill of the Demon Swordsman, and the inch step is a supporting skill, which he should learn.
[Magic Light Slash]: The current level is L1, and the highest level is L5. Upgrading to the next level requires a mastery of 10. Demon Swordsman's primary skill, perform an arc sword light range attack on targets within 10 meters, dealing 120% damage to the target of normal attacks, consuming mana 5, and cooldown: 3 seconds.
[Inch Step]: Unable to upgrade, the warrior's primary footwork instantly displaces ten centimeters towards the specified position, consumes 5 mana, and cools down for 1 second.
Skills at the Mentor are not free, but require a task exchange.
This whitebeard mentor is interesting, advocating giving rewards first and then doing tasks, which is very humane.
Zhang Mo took the task without saying a word, and the skills were immediately available.
"Young ......" Zhang Mo was about to leave when his mentor Lu Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
He was fine when he didn't open his eyes, but when he opened his eyes, Zhang Mo was startled.
His right eye was hollow, and his left eye was only the white of the eye, and his pupils were lost somewhere, which looked very intimidating.
Zhang Mo walked over stubbornly, "Mentor, is there anything I can help you?" ”
The warrior mentor raised his head slightly, his thin body was draped in tattered clothes, and he was closer, which made people feel that this was a lifeless rotting corpse, and not a human mentor that everyone admired.
"Young man, I feel the great power in you, deep in your blood, which is terrifying and great. You must have some kind of peculiar physique. Recalling the past, the saint is out, and the world is peaceful. The current times are not quiet, chaos is about to return, but there is no more manifestation in the world. A saint is born extraordinary, and you are very different from that kind of existence, but you have to care......"
Zhang Mo blinked shyly, he is indeed quite powerful, the spirit of the initial 20 points, being known by the outside world can definitely be stunned, after all, it is only 10 points for others to break through the basic attributes.
The old man in front of him obviously had something to say, Zhang Mo waited quietly for the rest of the text, he always felt that he would face some incident, I think it must be some special task, right?
Sure enough, the old man spoke, his eyes without pupils looked at Zhang Mo, and said in a hoarse voice: "Young man, if you can bring me a hundred hooves of the Houshan Demon Blood Pig, I will help you awaken the restless power in your body." ”
"Ding...... You've triggered the quest - Constitution Awakening, and the Warrior Mentor thinks you're a craftable person, the one he's been looking for for a long time, bring him what he needs, and he'll give you a reward worth paying. Attributes: Special. Quest requirements: 100 copies of demon blood pig's trotters, task reward: constitution awakening. Time limit: 24 hours. Acceptable? ”
Special mission? And such a good thing?
Now it's not easy to take ordinary tasks, let alone special tasks, Zhang Mo didn't say a word and clicked to pick it up, and looked at the task reward side for a while.
Constitution Awakening...... What is this......
With doubts in his heart, Zhang Mo asked in a low voice, "Mentor, about the awakening of the physique...... Can you tell me about it? ”
The old man was silent, glanced at him, opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "There are many people in this world, 10 billion generations, 5 generations in 100 years, under such a huge base, there is nothing special about people with a few special points, even if this probability is 1 in 100 million, more than 100 people can be born in a generation in the past......"
He paused and looked at Zhang Mo with interest, it was a bit scary to be stared at by him. One eye has no pupils, and the other side has no eyeballs at all, like a person who has crawled out of hell.
Lu Ji thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "As far as I know, special physiques are not uncommon, and the birth rate should be between 1 in 50,000 and 1 in 100,000, and this probability has been recognized by many people. Some people are naturally intelligent, some are naturally strong, and some people are like ordinary people at first, but in their old age they become thorough...... None of this can be explained, even if you look at their parents and grandparents, you can't see any clues. I am lucky old man, when I was young, I was fortunate to see a five-year-old child, who looked like a five-year-old child, with red lips and white teeth, ice muscles and jade bones, and his strength was comparable to that of a brute dragon, and he slapped a venerable man away, and I don't know how he is doing now, whether he has become a saint or not......"
Zhang Mo: "......"
He didn't quite understand the old man's words, but he still understood some of them. After his physique awakens, he will become stronger, and this is exactly what he desperately needs.
The old man closed his eyes, and his thin appearance was like a carrion corpse. He said lightly: "You have to complete my task to you, if you can't complete it, it means that you don't have the potential worthy of my investment, and there is never anything in this world that can be obtained without work." ”
"Remember, your time is limited, and if you don't come back in one day, the old man won't count."
Zhang Mo nodded, opened the map and looked at the location of the mountain behind, and then waved goodbye to the warrior mentor.
Then he went to the village chief's house.
The village chief's house is the largest family in the village, and there is a plaque at the door that says "The Village Chief's House", which can be said to be a very easy NPC to find.
After Zhang Mo arrived, he squeezed inside and found the village chief. His image was quite surprising to him, it was actually a young man less than thirty years old, and he looked very calm, which was very different from the ordinary old man village chief.
"Village Chief, is there anything I can do to help you?" Zhang Mo stepped forward and asked for a task very clichédly.
The handsome village chief glanced at Zhang Mo, raised his big hand, and opened the taskbar without saying a word.
Zhang Mo felt suffocated by the village chief's familiar business movements, why are you so skilled!
After hurriedly taking over the tasks of the village chief, Zhang Mo went to the blacksmith shop, herb shop, and tailor shop to complete all the tasks.
There are a lot of tasks in the novice village, even in ordinary houses, but those are not too valuable, and they take a lot of time, so he gave up very simply.
The NPCs in the novice village are very cold, looking unwilling to talk more, and when they see the player rushing to ask for the task, they will directly open the task bar, let you choose, and there is not even a task introduction, if you ask too much, they will be very annoyed to say that they are rushing people, and they have little patience with the player.
Compared to this, the old man of the mentor is already very good, and he can say some knowledge about the task, but if he is another NPC, it is impossible to ask them to say a word more.
Regarding the strangeness of the novice village, not only Zhang Mo has doubts in his heart, but other players are also very fascinated.
These NPCs are like they've become spirits, they seem to have an autonomous will, they think and act on their own, and they're very lazy.
…………
Zhang Mo came to the back mountain with a big sword.
The back mountain of the novice village is a treasure, there are all kinds of resources, and when you get close, you can see players chasing wild wolves and some small animals and slashing wildly, and there are some people who are busy collecting herbs. The back mountain is very dangerous, and the bloody corpse lying on the ground is the best example, and some players who don't know enough about their own strength and information about the back mountain can easily fall here, or be killed by monsters, or be killed by players.
Even in the novice village, death will drop experience, so you generally have to be careful if you can be careful.
Walk up the hill along the sheep intestine trail, look up and see that the mountains are full of players, and after walking a few steps, you can see a blood-colored team. Tens of thousands of players are scattered around at random because they don't have an actual ruler, and there are fights all the time, whether because of monsters, women, or pure violence.
Standing on a high place and looking out, Zhang Mo discovered a terrifying fact - the back mountain of the novice village is a vast mountain range that stretches to the skyline, directly connecting to the vast mountains of 100,000!
So deep...... What about a novice village......
Looking at the countless mountains, Zhang Mo gasped back, this game is really generous, it is difficult to think about it. Even if it was a previous masterpiece, none of them dared to expand the scope of the novice village to such a point, which required countless settings and programming, and spent a sea of resources. It's just a novice village in the transition period, and no one wants to pay such a cost. If there is, it is either rich and powerful, or it has a hole in the brain. It is clear that the spirit world does not belong to the latter.
Zhang Mo avoided the crowd and began to walk towards the deserted forest with few people.
Low-level monsters will appear around the novice village, such as first-level goats, toads, big-eyed snakes, and so on. The farther away, the more advanced monsters and even bosses, which is the essence of all games.
Zhang Mo began to explore the deep mountains, and the players he met along the way were all very vigilant and looked at each other, and the female players even reported to the group, and none of them dared to be alone.
Their weapons are varied, some people use a fan as a weapon, and some are an umbrella, which will become very huge when opened, and some are a whistle, which will shoot a poisonous needle when blown inside, the more unpopular the weapon seems to be favored by people, and there are really not many people like Zhang Mo who directly choose ordinary iron swords. There are even more bizarre, a summoner girl actually rode a husky screaming and running wild in the mountains, pulling the dog's ears to make it stop, the scene was stunned, and later I heard that she didn't mean to be happy, but the dog she couldn't control......
