Chapter 23: I want to change careers

Ding Youming pressed the CapsLock key to put away his weapon, and asked at the same time, "Say, how can I help you?" ”

Seeing that Lyons had promised himself, the boy knelt on the ground again, kowtowing and thanking: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

"Okay, stop grinding, hurry up!" Ding Youming sent a mission from the sky as soon as he went online, and it was the kind that couldn't be avoided, which already made him very unhappy, and the NPC's stammering speech made him even more irritable.

"Huh?" The boy looked dazed.

"What, you don't understand me?" Ding Youming didn't speak standard Mandarin, and yesterday he was curious about it, whether NPCs could understand dialects.

"No, no." After saying that, the boy smiled awkwardly.

"Hurry up, how can I help you?" Ding Youming's tone was not very good, and the boy clearly felt Lyons's impatience.

"Well, you must be powerful as an adventurer, right?"

Ding Youming didn't speak, he was very annoyed now.

Seeing that Lyons did not speak, the boy confirmed his thoughts even more confidently: "The strong are silent, and his silence is acquiescence, he must be a very powerful adventurer." ”

"That's right, there's a gang of robbers in our village, and it shouldn't be a problem for you to deal with robbers like this."

"Probably." Ding Youming gave a vague answer, because he himself was not sure what his combat effectiveness was.

Since the robber must be a human, he has not fought with a human yet, and with the intelligence of the NPC in this game, it will definitely not be easy to deal with.

"You're talking about a gang, so do you know how many of them there are?"

"About a dozen." The boy continued, "The village is over there. At the same time, he pointed to the opposite side of the mountain.

Ding Youming moved the mouse to look in the direction of the NPC's finger, and the picture showed a rolling and uneven hillside, with green grass covering the hillside.

"What should I do?" Ding Youming was timid and retreated.

Yesterday he couldn't sleep at night, so he thought back to the game he played during the day, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be a good game. He had just gotten a treasure-level piece of equipment yesterday, and he didn't want to die today. It was pure luck to be able to kill the Goblin Warrior and Goblin Hero yesterday, and he didn't think he was good enough to beat 10 with 1.

Press the P button to open the taskbar, and I was surprised to find that there were no new missions in the taskbar, only the "Adventure Party Missions" that had already been completed.

Seeing that there were no new tasks in the taskbar, the man thought to himself, "Could it be that this task is not the kind of task that must be done and cannot be skipped?" ”

After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Let's go." ”

"Thank you, benefactor!" The boy kowtowed heavily, and then got up and walked ahead to lead Lyons.

Ding Youming held down the W button with his left hand, and held the mouse with his right hand to control the character's perspective, following behind the NPC.

Whatever the task, check it out before you decide whether to do it or not. If you can't beat it, you can run, it's a big deal not to do this task. Anyway, it's not in the task list, so it's a question of whether it's a task or not.

Ding Youming controlled the character and walked for more than 10 minutes, during which he rarely spoke, but the NPC kept talking. According to the NPC's description, the gang of robbers had come a month earlier, and the bandit leader at that time said that as long as they were given 300 gold, they would leave and promise not to move a penny.

At that time, the whole village scraped together barely enough for the 300 gold, and after handing it over to the robbers, it was indeed as they said, and they got the money and left.

I thought that I would be able to live in peace after that, but I didn't expect that the gang of robbers would come again a month later, and this time they asked for more money than the one a month ago, a full 400 gold!

According to the NPC, "The village has always been self-sufficient, and it doesn't need money a few times a year." There are many children my age in the village who don't even know what the money is. The last 300 gold was already all the money in the village, so how can we still have money. ”

At that time, Ding Youming didn't say a word, and answered the NPC's gushing with silence.

When the NPC saw that Lyons didn't speak, he didn't feel embarrassed, and still gushed: "We couldn't come up with the money, and the bandit leader was angry at that time and cut off one of the village chief's arms with a knife." They also arrested all the children in the village, and those who did not have children arrested women. He also told us to give seven days, and if we can't come up with the money after seven days, we will cut off the other arm of the village chief, and if any family tries to escape, we will kill the children or women of that family. ”

Ding Youming listened to the NPC's description at that time and asked directly, "Why weren't you caught?" ”

"I was in the town at the time, I only went home once a month, and I usually stayed at my master's house. So he escaped. ”

"Why don't you ask your master for help?"

"My master is a pharmacist, he can cure diseases and save people, and it is useless to deal with the bandit leader to find him."

Ding Youming was puzzled: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

In the game, the profession of pharmacist can output and assist, and there is battery life and recovery. The only drawback was poor mobility and no outbreaks. Ding Youming thought to himself: "Isn't the pharmacist of this game a profession?" ”

"I came to ValhΓ£o to dig herbs. I have been studying with the master for six years, and I have learned a lot about herbs, and I have heard that the Valars are rich in precious herbs. I've wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I never had the chance. Precious herbs are very valuable, and it is not a problem to sell them for one or two hundred gold. ”

"I understand, but I see that you were hesitant just now, and you don't want to go up the mountain to collect medicine."

"On the way here, I heard that there are goblins in the mountains. The mountains of ValhΓ‘ar are already steep and precipitous, and if I encounter a goblin again, I can't even run, so that's why I ......."

"The mountains are steep?" Ding Youming said subconsciously, thinking to himself that the top of the Pingchuan River, where is it steep?

Drag the mouse to control the character to turn around and look at Mount Valar behind him. I couldn't see anything at the foot of the mountain, but when I looked at it from a distance, I realized that the Valar mountain was like an oval-shaped boulder, straight up and down into the ground.

"it!" Ding Youming blurted out.

The NPC next to the game character looked dazed: "Benefactor, what are you talking about?" ”

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay. Keep walking. ”

"It turns out that NPCs can't understand 'fuck', so what about 'fuck you'? Don't you understand it, do you want to try it? The man hesitated, and reason told him not to say it, but the impulse in his heart became stronger.

Eventually, impulse triumphed over reason: "Fuck you." He looked at the NPC's face.

The NPC looked dazed: "What the benefactor said, Ralz doesn't understand." ”

"Your name is Ralz?" Ding Youming borrowed the donkey from the slope and hurriedly changed the topic, and only after saying did he feel that something was wrong: "Ralz, pull son?" That's a real 6 name! ”

"Well, my full name is Bada Ralz."

"Well, good name. By the way, how long are we going to go? ”

Ding Youming calculated the time, and it had been almost 20 minutes.

"I was gone for three days when I came, and I should have been about the same when I went back."

"! Three days? You're kidding me! ”

Ding Youming still doesn't know the ratio of playtime to real time. He controls the character and looks up at the sky above him, he's been walking for 20 minutes, and it's not yet noon in the game world. If you continue like this, you may not be able to reach it when it gets dark.

"No, we can't go down like this. This has to go to the Year of the Monkey? After saying that, the control character looked around, looking for something to get around.

The game character is on a gravel road, and the gravel road is quite wide, and it seems that it should be artificially paved. If it is artificially paved, then this road should be the main road, this kind of road has few pedestrians and carriages, and Ding Youming is looking for a carriage now.

It's a pity to look around, not to mention the carriage, there is only one NPC on the entire gravel road except for him.

"!" Ding Youming scolded in disappointment, thinking: "Am I an idle egg?" Why do you want to do such a boring thing, you really shouldn't help him, it's right to go directly to Valesgow City. ”

At this moment, Ding Youming faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves. I took off my headphones and put them back on, and there was indeed the sound of horses' hooves.

"Hey, do you hear anything?"

"Nope." The boy replied truthfully.

"Strange, how do I hear the sound of horses' hooves, something is wrong?"

"What is the benefactor's 'Brother Boy'?"

", I forgot to turn off the mic." After speaking, he hurriedly pressed the V key to turn off the voice, ignored the dazed NPC, and began to study the sound of horses' hooves.

"It sounds like it's coming from behind you." After saying that, the control character turned to look behind him

When the boy saw Lyons standing behind him, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with the benefactor?" ”

Ding Youming pressed the V key to open the voice and said, "Shhh Don't talk. "After saying that, press the V key again to turn off the voice." This voice button is so pitted, it's not holding down to speak! Just as he was about to open the game settings, three men on horseback appeared in the screen, running towards him from far and near.

After a while, he passed by Lyons and the boy, without looking at them. The dust from the horse's hooves filled the entire frame, and it took three or four seconds to dissipate.

"!" Ding Youming cursed, pressed the CapsLock button to take out the weapon 'Standard Ironwood Bow', and then pressed the R key + F button, and after the tip of the arrow appeared, he used the mouse to aim.

The tip of the arrow was aimed at the head, and the left mouse button was released, and the arrow was shot out with a whoosh. With Ding Youming's accuracy, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be empty. And he himself guessed such a situation, and immediately after one arrow, a second arrow was fired, and then a third.

The first arrow flew between the two men, the second flew overhead, and the third arrow was not charged enough to fly half and fell to the ground.

The three people on horseback didn't look back the whole time, and the tall horse under their crotch disappeared into the game screen after a while.

"Damn, I'll use my sword when I'm done shooting these arrows. Archers and everything! After saying that, he pressed the G button and threw the bow in his hand.

The CapsLock button was pressed and he took out the 'Lang Ao's Sword', although it was a white suit, Ding Youming felt that no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was better than the blue suit 'Standard Ironwood Bow' on the ground.

Opening the equipment bar and looking at the equipment on the figure on the left, Ding Youming suddenly realized one thing: "How many pieces of equipment can the characters in this game equip?" ”

He has three weapons equipped, and there is no clear equipment grid in the equipment column, and there is no upper limit on the number of equipment. Looking at the weapon bar in the upper right corner, it seems that you can equip new weapons.

Looking at the quiver on the waist and back of the figure, there are still 4 arrows left.

"When these four arrows are used up, I will not play with the bow. Anyway, this character can use a sword, and the ranged profession is too pitiful! With that, he closed the equipment slot and picked up the bow he had thrown away.

What should he do now? If you help an NPC, you have to go in-game for three days, and if you don't help the NPC, you don't know how to get to Valesgow City.

He didn't want to choose any of them!
