It just so happened that Xia Zuo was going to the novice village, and the minimap was full of fog except for the places he had walked through, and it was better to have someone lead the way now. If you can't climb that high cliff the same way, you may encounter the neurotic Goblin Knight again.

That's not bad, right...... Although there was no hero saving the beauty, Xia Zuo still achieved the goal of going to the novice village, and he was a little unwilling in his heart.

It didn't take long for him to regain his spirits and start a conversation with Rebecca, intending to learn something he didn't know about the NPCs' personalities.

They are no longer simple program AI.

"On my left hand is the "Green Mushroom" and on my right hand is the "Green Worm Mushroom."

The afternoon sun shone obliquely into the West Grove, and the two were on their way to Liv Village, and Natsu Zuo walked forward while showing Rebecca the mushroom he had collected, the "Green Worm Mushroom", which was also the one he put down when he first met Rebecca.

"How?" Rebecca was disdainful, in order to be wary of Xia Zuo's behavior, she looked at his face squarely, and deliberately twisted it to the side, leaving only the corner of her eye.

The path of the forest is not very flat, with undulating rocks and large areas of tree roots entrenched in the ground, and there are many smooth mosses growing on the surface, which can slip if you are not careful.

Rebecca walked with ease, and she even jumped on the surface of the narrow roots with one foot without being slid by the moss on them. On the contrary, Xia Zuo walked very staggeringly, and when the terrain changed, he had to use his hands to stabilize the trunk of the tree beside him.

They have already given a brief introduction to the name.

Rebecca is worthy of growing up in villages and forests, and she may be the only city person in this world, Xia Zuo sighed in his heart, even a marble place like Wangdu is not too advanced in his eyes.

"Didn't you notice that the two mushrooms are similar in shape and different in green color? And there are small yellow dots on the surface of the "green worm mushroom". Xia Zuo then explained, it seemed that it would be fun for him to correct some knowledge that others did not know.

"We all call it a "green mushroom", maybe it's just that the time of growth is different, the appearance is not exactly the same, but it also has healing properties." Rebebe, who had already kept a distance from Xia Zuo, opened her eyes even more, and said as she stared at Xia Zuo's movements carefully. Her left hand tightened the strap to share it with her shoulders, and her right hand still held the magic scroll to guard against it, not yet fully trusting the other party.

"Far from being more than that, the "green insect mushroom" will also grow in the bushes, the "green insect mushroom" only grows under or next to trees, the "green insect mushroom" is actually a kind of cordyceps, after the spores of the fungus infect the small worms, it will control them to go to the tree or next to the root of the tree with a lot of magic power, where the insect will die, and the cordyceps will break out and grow into a green fungus that is very similar to the "green mushroom".

Xia Zuo said while recalling the introduction of items in the game. These are originally just text settings, the mushrooms given by the game program only need to add blood value, and there will be no real process of mushrooms growing from the ground, or the process of emerging from the body of the bug, the player refreshes the map, and the mature mushrooms will reappear. I don't know if this real world will strictly follow the setting, maybe you can observe the process of "green worm mushroom" growing from ants and grasshoppers in the forest.

"Both the Green Mushroom and the Green Worm Mushroom can restore 10% of their health, but the Green Worm Mushroom will bring random slight debuffs to the consumer, such as slowly deducting health, blue bucking, vertigo, reduced accuracy, heart rate, etc."

Rebecca didn't understand Xia Zuo's words, but she roughly understood that the other party wanted to say that the "green mushroom" had small yellow spots, and that she and the people in the village had been using "green mushrooms" for a long time, and Rebecca didn't plan to believe it in a few words...... Besides, dunk blood, dunk... What, what exactly are the side effects?

"Are you a scholar? Say something that is difficult for ordinary villagers like me to understand... But it's useless, I'm not going to listen to your advice, throw away half of the "green mushrooms" in my backpack, which I spent a morning collecting, and the family ......" Rebecca stopped talking, not wanting to tell the stranger about her father, "It's nothing, don't worry about me, you just need to follow me to the village and tell the village chief everything about the goblins." ”

"......" Xia Zuo finally fell silent and pursed her mouth, she had explained clearly enough, but there was nothing that actually made the mushroom show side effects, she wouldn't believe it, and her enthusiasm gradually decreased.

Is it because the clothes of my twenty hands are too smelly, and the other party is disgusted? Xia Zuo couldn't help but sniff it again.

——————————

Liv Village is a small village surrounded by mid-mountain houses, and these well-made wooden houses are all made by two dwarven craftsmen in the village.

Walking out of the higher woods, looking at the end of the hay plain in the distance, Liv Village is surrounded by towering trees cultivated by the magic of the village chief Greveld, whose thick trunks are difficult to be destroyed by magic attacks or even catapults, and are a natural and reliable defensive barrier.

"It's so different to see it in person... Looking at those quaint buildings from the screen is too grainy, even playing VR games will not feel like this. On the way closer, Xia Zuo occasionally let out a heart-warming sigh.

Close enough to the village, Rebecca wasn't as focused as she had been when she was wary of Xia Zuo, because there were so many people in the village who could deal with this mysterious strange traveler.

The all-powerful mage village chief, the dwarven craftsman Horf and his son Orra, and even the annoying swordsman Grim, Liv Village will never lose in battle.

But she still remained cold, Xia Zuo was more self-admiring, and the absence of Rebecca's attention did not hinder his mood.

Not long after, the two of them stepped into the towering trees outside the village, and the thick ones hung down on the ground, like huge arrows falling from the sky, Xia Zuo had never seen such a straight tree, and when he looked up, he heard the shouts of two or three children in front of him.

"Sister Rebecca~"

"Are you back?"

Two girls and a boy, none of them were over ten years old. They raced over, and the youngest of them threw herself into Rebecca's arms.

"This has already arrived? I haven't noticed yet..."Xia Zuo just buried his head and noticed the wooden fence and gate of Liv Village. Only up close could I see that the walls of graceful branches seemed to grow naturally.

"Don't leave the village too far~" After greeting them separately, Rebecca touched the head of the child in front of her with her hand and told her, Xia Zuo had never seen her look so kind.

"This big brother is... Guests? The little girl (Lv1) asked, shyly poking her head out of Rebecca's abdomen and touching her lips with her fingers.

"Dressed so worn, he must be a poor traveler, right?" The little boy (lv1) held his head and said nonchalantly.

"Have you ever met the Traveler?" Another little girl (lv 1) asked, "There have been no travelers in the village." ”

"Of course I've seen it, in the story book." The little boy stubbornly retorted.

"Be polite, boys," Rebecca rebuked softly, "though his identity is undecided, he's a guest of the village..."

Rebecca actually spoke for herself, to Xia Zuo's surprise, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"My dear Rebecca~ Are you back?!" There was another hearty shout from the village gate, and after the sound appeared, a young man (lv15) with a long sword on his back, green clothes and light armor, brown and red hair, who looked about the same age as Rebecca, and was no less excited than three children running here, "Really, why don't you call me when you go out to collect, I can obviously protect your ...... from the killer bees"

"Grim~Wait for us—"

Behind Grim, two late attendants shouted, both swordsmen, but without armor and inferior swords, and wore them at their waists. One of them looks round (lv. 7) and the other is very thin (lv. 5), so they can't keep up.

"When it comes to Rebecca, Grim feels like he has no soul......"

Rebecca ignored Grim's cries and turned away with a helpless sigh.

"Rebecca~" Grim still didn't give up, his tone was full of joy, until he saw a strange man standing next to Rebecca, Grim suddenly stopped, and jumped his eyelids without taste, "Who is that man?" Rebecca..."

On this side, the three children have surrounded Xia Zuo, and they seem to be very familiar with each other, holding Xia Zuo's hand and playing interactively.

The physique of his "child king" is still there in the game... Xia Zuo recalled that during the Chinese New Year at home, because he was liked by children and small animals, he was responsible for taking care of the children, and he was full of emotion when he reproduced the scene of the purpose, and he didn't notice the murderous aura coming from Grim at all.
