Chapter 8: Memories
In the air, the smell of decay greeted him, and the long-dusted grocery room finally saw the light of day.
Uncle Rick held an oil lamp that emitted a dim light, and in the dim light, a pile of dilapidated items piled up in the corner of the wall appeared in front of Mu Han's eyes.
"These are old things, and I haven't remembered them for a long time." Looking at the dilapidated objects piled up in the corner, Uncle Rick said with some embarrassment, and his vicissitudes of life also looked a little lonely at this time.
"I think when the village was first established, these things came in handy, but now, hey..."
These items look inconspicuous, most of them are things such as broken scissors, sewing machine parts and the like, and some broken and blackened fabrics, to put it mildly, they are a bit like a garbage heap, however, Mu Han knows that if he dares to say this, the ending must be directly swept out by Rick, although these NPCs look decent, but Mu Han can still clearly feel their emotional intelligence, whether it is Uncle Rick's sigh or the expression of the village chief, it doesn't look like something made by program.
This made Mu Han not dare to underestimate the aborigines of this world at all.
"Look for yourself, maybe there's the old ghost's stuff in there." Uncle Rick didn't seem to want to rummage through the pile of debris himself, but turned to Mu Han and said.
Nodding, Mu Han immediately stepped forward and squatted down, stretched out his white hands and began to rummage through the pile of debris.
Looking at the old items that kept being turned out of the clutter pile, Uncle Rick's expression became a little complicated.
In the dim utility room, Mu Han rummaged carefully, and soon, a book wrapped in thick cowhide appeared in the miscellaneous pile and was pressed to the bottom.
Mu Han finally pulled out the book wrapped in cowhide with only thick fingernails, patted the dusty cowhide package with his hand, blew hard, and finally untied the rope wrapped outside.
"The village chief's lost notes. Quest items, which can be flipped through. ”
Finally found it, Mu Han was slightly happy, after losing the cowhide package, the things wrapped inside finally appeared in Mu Han's hand, this is a yellowed notebook, there are still some damages on the cover, and even a lot of pages are missing, Mu Han has a hunch that this lost page will be a condition for another task.
"That's what it is." Looking at the yellowed notes in Mu Han's hand, Uncle Rick suddenly realized, and suddenly there were some indescribable emotions in his eyes when he looked at Mu Han.
"What's wrong, Uncle Rick?" Mu Han got up and looked at the middle-aged tailor with some confusion, intuitively feeling that his mood seemed to have some slight changes.
"It's nothing, since you are the one chosen by the old ghost, I just have something here that I want to trouble you, I don't know if you are interested." Shaking his head, Uncle Rick said.
In the fluttering and jumping dim lights, Mu Han felt that Uncle Tailor's expression seemed to become more natural, and he looked more and more like a normal human being.
"We'd love to help." If you don't receive a task, Mu Han is not stupid, and immediately chose to accept it.
"Ding"
"Quest accepted: the tailor shop owner's request."
"You know, I'm a tailor, but not long ago my scissors were lost in the cotton fields south of the village, without scissors, I can't cut fabric, I can't cut fabric, my tailor shop can't be open, I want you to help me find my scissors, if I find it, I'll give you a nice piece of customization." Uncle Rick said with a hint of regret on his face, cursing in a low voice, "Those damn gophers actually stole my scissors while I was picking cotton, and I will make them regret it." ”
"Mission accepted: Destroy the gopher and retrieve Rick's lost scissors."
"Quest content: Rick, who lost his scissors and couldn't do business, hated the thief gopher, killed the gopher, obtained the gopher tail, and submitted twenty gopher tails to Rick to appease Rick's anger. Reward: One piece of custom equipment, mission level: F-level advanced. ”
"Okay, I'll definitely find your scissors." Mu Han assured.
Uncle Rick smiled, nodded, and said, "Very well, I trust you." By the way, Lee Da Hammer from the blacksmith seems to be in some trouble lately, and you might be able to get some good items from him. ”
It's another mission! Mu Han thanked him excitedly, and then prepared to leave the tailor shop to submit the village chief's notes first, but when he just went out of the back room, he looked at the large group of big men crowded in the tailor shop, and Mu Han was suddenly startled.
Mu Han didn't know that in the current world of "Peak", the number of players who received the task was extremely rare, and it could be said that it was rare for every novice village to have a player with a task to do.
"Hey, bro! Tell us about how you accepted the assignment. Someone in the crowd shouted.
"yes, how can this game accept the mission, I have greeted all the NPCs in the village, and none of the missions have been triggered."
"Damn, which of the previous games I played wasn't a lot of tasks, which ones were like "Peak", the NPCs all had their noses upturned to the sky, and Aita ignored them."
"How can you level up without a task, is it possible to keep fighting monsters?"
...
Looking at the noisy players, Mu Han had a headache and asked him to say how to accept the task? Is it difficult to explain that the NPC sent it to the door itself? It may sound unreliable, but it's true.
Just when Mu Han had a headache, Uncle Rick the tailor walked out, looking at the very noisy players in the store, a look of gloom appeared on Fangzheng's face, and he shouted, "What are you all doing?" What is the noise in my place? No matter how noisy it is, let me out! ”
"Who is this old man, what are you dragging!" A Terran player shouted disdainfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly the whole person seemed to have been hit by a truck, and a strong force wrapped around him and flew out violently, falling to the ground.
The players on the street looked at the Terran players who flew out of the tailor shop, and slowly surrounded them one by one, and the Terran player quickly got up from the ground with shame on his face, pointed at the tailor shop and scolded: "Draft, what is a cow for an NPC, no matter how bullish you are, you are also an NPC, except for contributing experience, it is useless!" ”
If it was any other game, he would have scolded and scolded, and there would be no consequences, but he forgot that this is "Peak" after all, and he has to bear the consequences for everything he does.
"Ding! The player angrily insults Rick, the tailor of Dusk Drum Village, and Rick's opinion drops by 100, the current friendship is -90, and the NPC friendship of the entire Dusk Drum Village camp drops to zero. ”
"Buckle it, I still care about the color of these colored pens?" The angry sea slashed with disdain on his face. But soon he knew what it meant to lose the favorability of the NPC in the Novice Village, and in the near future, he would not be able to buy anything in the Novice Village, and even if he bought it, it would be several times the price of others, and he quickly deleted his account because he could not bear this price. As for these, that's all for later.
In the tailor shop, they were startled by Rick's inadvertent hand, and the players were still fearless, but after seeing the result of the punishment of the angry sea announced by the whole village, one by one began to become silent, and they did not dare to continue to be arrogant.
However, Mu Han didn't have the heart to entangle with these people, anyway, the novice village couldn't pk, and others couldn't stop him, so Mu Han left this group of players and ran to the central square of Dusk Drum Village where the novice spawned.
Yes, just a group of kung fu, Dusk Drum Village seems to have expanded a lot, the original standing of a dozen people seemed to be crowded small open space, at this time has been paved with white stones, the entire square covers an area of thousands of square meters, in the center of the square there is a huge light curtain door more than ten meters high, at this time there are still a large number of novice players are entering this world through the light curtain door.
The village chief Gulas stood next to the light curtain door with a smile, looking at the players who kept coming out of the light curtain, a look of relief appeared on his old face, watching the village grow bigger and bigger, as the village chief, he was naturally happy.
Some players also noticed this kind-looking old man and wanted to go up and talk to see if they could trigger any tasks, but soon they returned in vain.
However, after all, only a minority of all players really like leveling at present, and most players still enter the game with the mood of experiencing it, and they have not really experienced the wonder of this world, so although there are few tasks, they have not yet set off any uproar on the Internet, but after the "Peak" became popular in the world, this setting does not know how many players have cried and complained.
"As soon as you enter "Peak", you will ruin your life." Countless players cried with tears, but if there was no "Peak", I don't know how many people regretted it to death.
Mu Han quickly ran to the village chief's side and submitted his notes.
The withered old hand rubbed the yellowed notes in his hands, and a look of remembrance appeared in Gulas's eyes, and he sighed a little lonely: "How many years have passed, but I didn't expect this notebook to be found by me." ”
Looking at the village chief's expression, there seemed to be something else hidden, Mu Han's expression moved, and he chose to continue listening.
Gulas said slowly with a look of remembrance, "It was forty years ago, when I was a young adventurer, I was adventuring in the wasteland, in a small valley, I heard a wonderful sound, it was a low drum sound, in the drum, I seemed to see a war that was being killed, it was a cruel battlefield, there was a war smoke everywhere, the battle between the Justice League and the Evil Alliance, the knights rushed to kill, the warriors shed blood, the mages chanted incantations... In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses. ”
Mu Han listened carefully, the war in the world of "Peak" is naturally different from the war in the peaceful era, the warriors in this world cultivate fighting spirit, the mages practice magic, and every major war is at least hundreds of thousands of millions of participants, and the power and intensity of the war cannot be compared.
This world, powerful warriors and mages, is not weaker than a nuclear bomb in reality.
