Chapter 89: A Helpless Choice
The white light flashed, and I appeared in the inn when I went offline. The existence of the Inn is not to provide a place for the player to save their lives after going offline, but to speed up the player's character's recovery, such as health. In just a few hours, there are already many inaugural players in Pangu City, and it seems that there are really a lot of crazy people.
Remembering that I still had a task, I hurried to the "World Pawnshop". There, I met the typical profiteer boss named "Boss Wang".
When "Boss Wang" heard my intention, the original smile on his face became even stronger, and the wrinkles were very "terrifying". If you put it in reality, you can be sure to frighten a large group of people who don't have a good heart.
"That means you want my 'Snow Stream', don't you?" Nonsense, it's already been said so clearly! Otherwise, what am I going to do! However, I didn't dare to say it, so I nodded slightly and said yes.
"It's not impossible." The profiteer smiled and said solemnly, "However, you need to complete a task for me." ”
Depend on! So old-fashioned! It's actually a serial quest.
"I need to know the content of the mission before I can consider whether to say yes." At least 400 gold coins worth of "Snow Stream", then the value of this task must be more than 400 gold coins, or even thousands, I don't want the task to get bigger and bigger. It's better to be on the safe side.
"It's simple." The profiteer's smile returned to his face again, "Just catch a 'snow rabbit' for me." "When I said "Snow Rabbit", I obviously saw the profiteer secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Snow Hare? As the name suggests, it is a snow-white rabbit. Looking at the expression of the profiteer, it should be that the taste of the snow rabbit is absolutely first-class, so the value is definitely not expensive, then I can sell it directly for money. I'd love to turn down this task, but I've accepted the "Appraiser" mission, and I have to get "Snow Streams". What's more, the prestige can be increased after completing the missions in the game, which is very important for me who is already ready to open a store. Alas! Pity my gold coins...
At this time, the system prompts: The player's ink triggers the task - to find the "snow rabbit" for the pawnshop owner, do you accept?
I had no choice but to say yes.
After that, I began to spy on the snow rabbit's information, but the profiteers apparently ignored me, "encouraging" me that "young people will only reap the rewards if they do it themselves". Although he nodded in agreement on the surface, he secretly scolded in his heart: Damn! At least he didn't give it to me, and the title of "profiteer" really suited him.
Depressed and saying goodbye to the profiteers, I went to the grocery store to buy some necessities. As a hunter, the first thing you need is a bow and arrow, and secondly, of course, the trap material. To use the "Trap Technique", you first need to dig a pit with a shovel, and if you want to be more powerful, you need to place sharp objects at the bottom of the pit, such as sharpened branches, bamboo, or metal sharp objects.
The first two are readily available wherever there are trees; The latter needed to be made to order at the smithy, and just 20 iron spikes cost me 30 silver coins, and the iron spikes could only be used ten times. After ten times, these iron spikes will be scrapped, which is really a luxury consumable.
Once you've done this, you need to put a layer of camouflage on top of the trap, and dry branches and leaves are the best choice.
In addition to these two things, there is also a mountain opening knife, which can be used for splitting materials and killing monsters; Butcher's knife, dividing the prey.
Of course, based on my cooking skills, I also bought condiments, sesame oil, and other necessary items. Luckily, these only occupy one unit in the Qiankun Ring, otherwise I wouldn't have had a place to put them. Of course, barbecue utensils, iron forks and cooking utensils are indispensable.
As an apprentice physician, it was much simpler, and I only bought a medicine hoe to collect herbs. As for refining medicine, the time has not yet come. Lin Lin finally calculated that 10 units of the 20 units in the Qiankun Ring accounted for 10 units: 1 gold hunting bow, 1 intermediate gold sore medicine, 1 iron thorn, 1 coin, 1 mountain knife, 1 butcher knife, 1 seasoning box (including flint), 1 medicine hoe, and 1 cooking utensils.
This is when the bow and arrow and iron sword are placed on the body. As a result, only 9 units are left to place the loot, which is pitifully small. One day, I must go to the "Ranger Association" (equivalent to the Mercenary Association of the Western Continent) to apply for the task of upgrading the "Qiankun Ring", otherwise there will really be no place to put things in the future.
Let's take a look at your own situation:

With everything ready, I set out to head out of the city. Not many people know the specific situation outside Pangu City, because the official website only lists some details of the novice village, and the whole game only has a general description, and the other aspects are officially claimed: leave players more fun to explore.
Although it's very troublesome to fight monsters or something, but it's right to think about it, the game "Domination of the World" is so well done, the environment in the game is more perfect than reality, and now the real world can't see such a beautiful environment at all. The retro design and deep cultural heritage have made this game popular all over the world, and the maximum number of people in just one morning has reached 15 million, so it's no wonder that the novice village is so crowded.
I set out from the south gate of Pangu City, aiming for a high mountain there, I don't know what it was called. But since I'm a hunter, the mountains are my best bet. There, I was able to make the most of my hunter skills, but I could also gather herbs.
When I came to the bottom of the mountain, I was greeted by a large grove of trees, and occasionally I could see one or two small animals passing through the middle, and they were very agile. It seems that this is just the periphery, and there are no large monsters in sight.
I took out my shovel and started digging a hole in a soft place, and it took me almost a quarter of an hour to dig a pit that was only 2 meters deep and 1 meter square. I was relieved that I had carefully placed the sharpened sticks and covered them with a layer of dead leaves.
Then the system prompts: The player's ink has successfully made a trap, and the proficiency is increased by 1.
Hearing the prompt sound, I secretly said in my heart, it doesn't seem too difficult! As long as you keep doing this, you will soon be able to improve your proficiency.
Keep crafting traps along the way, and your proficiency will continue to improve. Now the trap proficiency is already 20\/100, but now the speed of rise is getting slower and slower, sometimes making 4 traps to increase a little proficiency, it seems that the higher you go, the more difficult it is to improve. And because of the relationship between cutting trees and cutting branches, I also have 31 points of proficiency in basic knife skills, which can be regarded as a bonus.
Twenty-six traps, stretching from the base of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, by which time I had already spotted some large monsters. Among them, the most conspicuous is the "Spotted Tiger", just looking at the frame is definitely a monster of level 30 or 40. It's not something I can deal with right now, unless it steps into the trap I've set.
However, to let go of the prey in such a vain, I am unwilling in my heart. Right now, my most powerful attack is the trap technique plus the basic knife technique, and if I use it well, it shouldn't be a problem.
In order to deal with the "brindle tiger", I dug a trap three meters deep and four meters in diameter. The bottom of the trap was planted with 20 iron thorns, and some small branches were deliberately selected on the surface of the trap as a cover, and a large number of dry leaves were deliberately sprinkled. The whole trap looks perfect on the surface, and my trap proficiency has increased by 5 points. Therefore, I am more confident in this monster fight.
