Chapter XVII

In the world of Star Soul God's Domain, time flows 24 times faster than in the real world, which means that an hour in reality is equal to a day in the game.

After agreeing to the village chief's invitation, Lu Fan and the civilian players who accompanied him waited until night fell after taking a short rest in the village.

This is the night they first see the game after they enter it.

Looking down from the heights of Hidden Mist Village, a huge full moon hung high above the sky, its bright reflection reflected on the calm sea.

The small village at night, quiet and peaceful, looks really a warm night painting.

After watching the night, Lu Fan saw that in the direction of the village entrance, those VIP players, including the Great Kryptonist, were probing their heads into the village in the open space at the entrance of the village.

One of the players tentatively put his foot in the entrance of the village, and only relented when he realized that the villagers were not attacking them.

Soon, these kryptonite bigwigs rushed in and entered the village.

Of course, they don't bother to go door-to-door now—they don't have to think about it to know that good things must have been obtained by civilian players like Lu Fan first.

After overhearing their voice conversation, Lu Fan learned what happened to them.

Ever since they knocked out the chickens in the village, they have been chased by the village chief and the villagers.

They ran back to the beach where they had just landed, but the villagers were still in hot pursuit.

So, they had to run around the beach several times and then run into the sea. It wasn't until they ran waist-deep that the villagers let them go, and a large group of people ran back.

After hearing this, Lu Fan said in his heart, it is estimated that the villagers ran to the maximum pursuit distance set by the game, and then ran back to the same place.

Moreover, because these VIP players were emptied from the villagers' hatred list, when they reappeared at the entrance of the village, the villagers did not show too much hostility towards them and treated them as travelers who had come to the village.

(Author's note: Hate list, an MMO term used to attack a player when they are on an NPC's or monster's hate list.) )

Of course, because of the suspicions caused by the previous chicken knocking incident, the villagers' enthusiasm for these VIP players was not as high as that of Lu Fan and others.

At 8 o'clock in the night of the game time, in the small square in the center of the village, the village chief personally held a banquet to entertain Lu Fan and others.

Around the square, there are various large torches burning with roaring flames, and at the very central bonfire pit, a huge bonfire is also lit.

A group of young girls from the village danced around the bonfire and performed for the guests who came from afar.

Even if they are only wearing simple linen clothes, it is difficult to hide the fair skin and bumpy figure of the girls, and with the long flowing hair and bewitching dancing posture of the girls, many players' eyes are directly straight.

Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, ordinary country girl NPCs can do it so charming, it's really yours, a gentleman's game!

At the edge of the square, straw mats are lined with straw mats, and players sit on the floor as guests.

A variety of colourful but unusually shriveled fruits are placed on a straw mat, accompanied by a few vegetable leaves, and a bottle of home-brewed rum, and that's all there is to the feast.

From these details, it can be seen that this village is indeed having a very hard time, and such a grand feast is that it is impossible to even take out meat.

Because the first player the village chief saw was Lu Fan, he naturally treated him as a guest and invited him to sit on the main seat with him.

Although the VIP players were red-eyed with jealousy, there was nothing they could do.

The village chief took a sip of wine, stroked his gray beard, and sighed, "Hey, I'm sorry you adventurers, our village has so many things that we can get our hands on." ”

Lu Fan waved his hand and said, "Eh, old man, you don't have to be so polite to us, it is very rare to be able to set up such a big banquet to entertain us, and it doesn't matter to us whether the food is good or not." ”

That's really what he said, these food props in front of him, the effect is to restore HP, but some of them return a little more, and some return a little less.

The village chief nodded with satisfaction, and seemed to approve of Lu Fan's reasonableness.

He continued to sigh:

"I want to come to our Hidden Mist Village, which used to be a place of extremely abundant products, and every year the various melons, fruits and poultry produced in our village can not only supply the people of our village for consumption, but also travel far across the ocean and sell them to the port cities of the Atara Kingdom in the west.

Thanks to this maritime trade, our Hidden Mist Village used to be relatively prosperous, but recently, everything has changed......"

As he spoke, the village chief's eyes darkened.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Lu Fan suddenly became interested.

"The reason why our village is called Hidden Mist Village is because the surrounding area of this island is often surrounded by sea fog. Sea fog can cause all kinds of mirages, which can be beautiful to look at, and it is also easy for non-locals to misjudge the direction and passively navigate around the islands when sailing.

Under the protection of this sea fog, our village was protected from pirates, and various products developed. It was a place of wealth, peace and calm.

Unexpectedly, I don't know what the reason is, but the color of the fog on the beach has changed, and it has begun to move closer to the island, slowly shrinking in the crater area in the center of the island. ”

Let the village chief say this, Lu Fan recalled: It seems that it is true that when looking at the island on the beach, you can see that the crater is covered with a layer of dense fog.

From the words of the village chief, Lu Fan also got a piece of information: this island is located in the sea area east of Atla, the eastern kingdom of the Star Soul God Domain, and if you can get a boat from the village and sail west, you should be able to reach Atarza.

And he and Qin Hao, who was looking for a task entrusted by Wanshiwu, made an appointment to meet in Haiwang City, the capital of Atarlah.

In other words, it is necessary to find a way to gain the trust of the village chief and gain permission to ride a trading ship.

The village chief continued: "The beasts that were originally docile in the mountains have begun to go berserk under the influence of the thick fog of mutations, and they have not only gathered to attack the hunters in the village who have gone up the mountains to hunt, but also destroyed the fields of the village from time to time.

Even if we take turns to change people for the vigil, we will be overwhelmed. There was no meat, and the poultry and fields in the village were attacked at every turn, and over time, life in the village became like this......"

Lu Fan suddenly realized, no wonder the people in the village reacted so much to the chickens that the player attacked them, after all, those chickens were one of the few reserve grains.

He had an idea and replied:

"Old man, since we are adventurers, we should solve difficulties for the local people, if there is anything we can do, please tell us one or two, we will definitely solve problems for you."

The other players nodded their heads tacitly, and no one came out to interrupt - fools knew that this was a quest from the village chief's mouth.

"Hey......" The village chief took another sip of rum, "I only know that the leader of this group of wild beasts, who lives on the top of the crater, is a crazy rabbit, attacking the Hidden Mist Village, and the Eight Achievements were organized by this rabbit,"

"Rabbit...... Rabbit? Lu Fan and the others looked at each other.

"Yes." The village chief nodded, and then looked at Lu Fan's gaze solemnly,

"This warrior called Ordinary Warrior, you are the most promising young man I have seen in all these years, there is no one, can you go to the crater called [Rainbow Mountain] in the middle of the island, defeat the [Crazy Rabbit], and return our Hidden Mist Village to peace?"

At this moment, Lu Fan's mind sounded the prompt message of the Star Soul God Domain game: Received the crusade task [Rabbit of Rainbow Mountain]

Without hesitation, he pressed the confirmation button on the handle and took over the task.

At this point, the other players also saw the big exclamation mark on the village chief's head, which was an icon in the game indicating that the NPC had a quest to take.

Everyone stood up one after another and rushed to the village chief......

The number of reserves for this task on the village chief seems to be enough, so a jaw-dropping scene happened:

Players lined up in a long line, from the door of the village chief's house to the entrance of the village, and talked to the village chief one by one to receive tasks.

After one of the players passed, the village chief said kindly:

"This warrior named Zhang San, you are the most promising young man I have seen over the years, there is no one, can you go to the [Rainbow Mountain] in the middle of the island, defeat the [Crazy Rabbit], and return our Hidden Mist Village to peace?"

Another player passed, and the village chief said kindly:

"This warrior named Li Si, you are the most promising young man I have seen in all these years, there is no one, can you go to the [Rainbow Mountain] in the middle of the island, defeat the [Crazy Rabbit], and return our Hidden Mist Village to peace?"

The third player passed, and the village chief continued to say kindly:

"This warrior named Wang Er Mazi, you are the most promising young man I have seen over the years, there is no one, can you go to the [Rainbow Mountain] in the middle of the island, defeat the [Crazy Rabbit], and return our Hidden Mist Village to peace?"

……

After Lu Fan saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned, Nima was queuing up to distribute some relief supplies.

After the village chief repeated the same line hundreds of times, everyone on the island, including the VIP players, successfully received the mission, and the village chief himself appeared to be dry and exhausted, and almost fell to the ground.

"Okay, now that I've taken the task, it's time for me to show my skills."

At this time, the great krypton was up again, and he was completely free from the embarrassment of being beaten by the rooster and the villagers before.

"Thank you guys for helping you explore, let's follow us slowly," the other VIP player next to him also came to life.

They naturally feel that as soft sister coin warriors, crusading against bosses is naturally the best thing for them.

The Great Krypton turned to look at Lu Fan and said coldly:

"Originally, because of the previous incident, I would never let you go, but for the sake of your contribution to the exploration mission, I won't trouble you this time. Please take matters into your own hands and stop pointing fingers at us VIP players. ”

After the Great Krypton finished speaking, he waved his big hand and left the village with the group of VIP players behind him.

Lu Fan was angry and funny after hearing this: Are these goods used to being rampant and domineering in various kryptonite games for a long time, obviously you have been pointing fingers at civilian players, right?

However, he is not in a hurry, anyway, the crusade task has been successfully received, so it is better to follow behind this group of kryptonite players first and see how they perform.
