Chapter 4: The Bandit Infested
Without waiting for Qin Fan to think about it, the young man in black in front of him, with his long sword, pulled a sword flower, and with a wave of left and right, he actually blocked back more than a dozen wolves, and took advantage of the situation to fight back, with sharp and swift swordsmanship and flexible body technique, two or three wild wolves had already been assassinated in three or two strokes. The archers behind fired three arrows again, and two of them hit again, and in the blink of an eye, the wolves had lost more than half.
This group of beasts had some spirituality, and when they saw that they were invincible, they turned around and fled.
"Hoo ......"
Seeing this, Qin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and clasped his fists at the man in black and the young archer behind him, "Thank you for saving your life!" ”
"The village chief is welcome, it is my duty to protect you!"
"Village Chief......" Qin Fan only found out at this time that these two people, including the eight people behind, were actually his villagers.
"This ...... How is this possible? Qin Fan was shocked, how could the villagers he had just lost be so quickly filled with population? Isn't the refresh rate one person per day?
Qin Fan looked at the attributes of the ten new villagers in disbelief, and he couldn't do it anymore, the black-clothed long sword man was a second-order knight, and the archer was a second-order hunter. The other eight were either peasants, carpenters, stonemasons, and woodcutters.
"What the hell is going on?" Qin Fan looked at everyone in wonder, and in the blink of an eye, he already had two second-order talents.
There must be something wrong, Qin Fan thought that ten villagers had come out at one time during the day today, and he felt more and more strange.
"Is it possible for my village to brush the population limit in seconds?" A thought suddenly arose in Qin Fan's heart.
Thinking of this, Qin Fan walked over to a farmer and called up his attributes, and there was a special option under the panel of the NPC villagers: several.
Severance is equivalent to deleting the villagers, Qin Fan clicked down, and the villager in front of him directly turned into a virtual shadow and disappeared on the spot. Then Qin Fan stared at his overview panel, and a magical scene happened, the moment the farmer disappeared, his population changed to 9, and the next second the population actually rose to 10 again.
"Brush in seconds! It turned out to be a second brush! ”
Qin Fan shouted excitedly, there was no doubt that there was definitely some kind of bug in his village or was in a very rare environment that could reach the population in seconds.
The new villager was still a first-order peasant, and he tried to dismiss the three peasants at once, and the next moment when the three peasants disappeared, the three newly born villagers had already appeared at the entrance of the village.
"Wow Ka Ka Ka Ka !!! This is a fortune! Qin Fan seemed to have discovered a super treasure at his fingertips, jumping up and down in the courtyard happily, he couldn't care about the wolf blood all over his body.
Qin Fan already had a very crazy idea, since his population could be refreshed in seconds, then he could completely dismiss the population continuously, and then let the system refresh high-level talents! In this way, whether you use it yourself or sell it to other players, it is absolutely refreshing!
Just do it when you think of it, Qin Fan opened the overview, he clicked into the population column, the system automatically classified the population and divided it into levels, he clicked on the first-order villagers and directly dismissed the eight first-order villagers with one click.
The new villagers were all first-order, Qin Fan dismissed again without hesitation, and within a minute, he brushed it more than twenty times in a row.
It was probably Qin Fan's misunderstanding of high-level talents, except for the two second-order villagers who appeared at the beginning, he didn't even have a second-order after brushing for five minutes.
"It seems that the system has some control over the probability of the emergence of high-level talents......"
This is the only explanation, but Qin Fan is not in a hurry, the population can be brushed in seconds, he has time.
Constantly repeating the operation of screening and dismissal, Qin Fan forcibly changed tens of thousands of villagers within an hour, and finally brushed a second-order fisherman.
"It's not easy......"
Qin Fan's hands were sour, and he finally changed to a second-order talent, this second-order fisherman can supply aquatic products for ten people to consume, if the diversity of food is not considered, just this one villager can solve the current food problem.
"Keep brushing!"
Don't you say that you can make a miracle vigorously, Qin Fan refreshed without stopping, and by the morning, the 100,000 villagers were like clouds of smoke, and he actually brushed a third-order carpenter and a second-order woodcutter, a farmer.
The new third-order carpenter is a middle-aged strong man, burly and straight, but there is a problem that second- and third-order villagers like this consume more food than first-order, and it seems that each level of the first-order consumes an additional first-order unit of grain.
Fortunately, there was a second-order hunter who could supply fifteen people last night, plus the fisherman just enough to supply.
As soon as it was dawn, Qin Fan arranged for the young hunter and the woodcutter to go up the mountain. In addition to the third-order carpenters, there are also second-order male seamstresses and second-order stonemasons in the village. He asked the stonemason to continue his predecessor's work yesterday, while the second-order tailor was skinning the seven wolves he had killed last night, and the wolf's skin could also be made into leather armor, which could resist a certain amount of normal damage and severe cold.
The second-order woodcutter was three times more efficient than the first-order, and in half a day, he pulled back two pieces of wood, and the third-order carpenter broke all the wood in an hour and began to repair the second hut.
The remaining three peasants, all of whom were second-order, cleared another field in the morning, and each farmer not only increased the yield to ten per week, but also reduced the ripening period to six and a half days.
"Sure enough, the efficiency of high-level talents is good!"
By night, the third-order carpenters had repaired two huts in succession, and the stonemasons had filled a third of the gaps in the walls.
The hunter brought back a few pheasants and hares, and the fisherman had a basket full of fish and shrimp, which were caught in one day, and after a few treatments, everyone ate them.
Qin Fan looked at today's prosperity, the two thatched huts and a new piece of farmland and the repair of the fence had increased by twenty points, and now they had accumulated thirty-four points.
"No, it looks like we have to speed up!"
The population is too small, Qin Fan only refreshes ten people at a time, and the efficiency of brushing high-level talents is too low, he plans to replace two of the farmers with carpenters and woodcutters tonight, and strive to upgrade as soon as possible. Although the two fields of farmland will be abandoned as a result, the role of farmland is not much for the time being given given the temporary abundance of food sources.
Today, there are also ten villagers who are in the rich area, and they don't have any conditions to sit back and relax except for the talent level advantage.
After dinner, Qin Fan asked the second-order knights to be on duty at the entrance of the village, he didn't want to see the situation of the wolf attack last night, these second-order talents were brushed for a long time, and it was a pity to be bitten to death.
Qin Fan stayed in the ancestral hall and dismissed the two peasants, now he didn't dare to brush ten more people and ten people, the second- and third-order talents were so difficult to brush, he couldn't be willful anymore.
There was nothing wrong all night, and it seemed that those wild wolves were hurt and did not dare to offend easily. In the morning, Qin Fan came out of the ancestral hall with dark circles under his eyes, and after a night of hard work, he only brushed a second-order woodcutter, and the second-order carpenter couldn't brush it alive or dead.
However, it is still very good for two woodcutters to work with two carpenters, the first-order carpenter is responsible for repairing the remaining hut, and the third-order carpenter begins to build an all-timber wooden house, which is the blueprint of the third-order carpenter, which can accommodate ten people, but the construction time takes two days.
When it was almost noon, a system prompt made Qin Fan's heart suddenly hang, and the Orion he sent out actually showed that he had been killed by the bandits. This made Qin Fan restless, there were actually bandits nearby, this hidden danger was too big.
Orion hung up, which directly caused the lunch in the village to be gone, but fortunately, the day before yesterday there was still half a venison to top, so he immediately brushed a first-order Orion and went up the mountain to hunt again, at least until the fisherman returned.
As soon as lunch passed, Qin Fan took the second-order knight to the place where Orion had an accident to check the situation, Orion was moving near the mountain behind the village, and the two of them walked for half an hour before arriving at the scene.
Under an old tree, Qin Fan found the body of Orion, the young man was brutally cut in the abdomen with a knife, and blood lay on the ground, with traces of a fight and the hair of the prey around him. The Orion's harvest and the shortbow were robbed by the bandits.
Qin Fan approached Orion's corpse and found that there was still a relic option, but when he opened it, it was a few copper plates.
"Alas...... What a good man, who died and left his inheritance. Don't worry, I'll find a way to get your revenge! ”
After Qin Fan picked up the relics, the body of the hunter disappeared, and sure enough, the second-order people were rich, and none of the first-order villagers who died yesterday had relics.
Looking at the three copper coins in his hand, Qin Fan secretly said that he had to find this gang of bandits, otherwise his people would be killed as soon as they went up the mountain, and even went directly to the village to burn and loot, so should it be developed.
"Village chief, this gang of bandits has left traces, I think we should be able to find their traces!" The second-order knight looked around and said seriously.
"Oh? That's great, let's find their lair first, and then we'll think about it for the long haul! ”
The woods were filled with the smell of blood, both human and animal, Qin Fan followed the second-order knights through the forest, and from time to time he could see the footprints left on the ground and the broken branches that he stepped on when he passed by.
An hour later, Qin Fan and the second-order knights climbed over the back mountain and found a very hidden canyon, the canyon was not big. But the terrain is treacherous. Looking down from the hill, there is a small stream running through it, and along the way there are several wooden houses, and from time to time you can see people with weapons in hand and strangely dressed people coming and going. There were also women washing clothes at the edge of the stream, and three or two men in the prime of life could be seen guarding the mouth of the valley.
"Village chief, it seems that this is the thief cave of the gang of bandits who killed Orion!"
Qin Fan nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that there are quite a few bandits in this group, at least thirty or forty people, and this is not counting those women and children who are doing miscellaneous work." ”
He thought for a moment and turned back to the second-order knight and said, "Look at these bandits, how many can you deal with alone?" ”
"This ...... Three of them. The second-order knight said embarrassedly: "These bandits are doing a living with their heads pinned to their trouser belts, and they will only work hard in case of trouble, as the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, although these ordinary bandits are not as good as me in terms of fists and feet, but they are very tight when they fight hard." ”
"Hmm...... Let's go...... Maybe I have an idea! Qin Fan said thoughtfully.
