Chapter 44: Redwood Town
It's like picking up a pet for nothing......
Lin Chen was stunned, then opened the pet space and found that there was an extra Shadow Crow's avatar, and clicked to view its information-
Shadow Raven Lv.15
Nickname: Gigi (modifiable)
Status: Infant (unplayable)
Bloodline Rating: A
Mood: Depressed
Skill: Void - The Shadow Raven can escape into the void, cannot be observed, detected, and is very difficult to damage.
Description: Born in the Isle of Shadows, the Shadow Raven is a witness hovering between reality and nothingness, a rare monster that even dragons are feared by legends, but it's still very young, don't expect it to have much combat power.
Generally speaking, pets have four growth states, the first of which is the juvenile stage, which cannot bring much help to the player except for being cute or making trouble. Only when the pet reaches level 30 will it have a chance to get out of the growth period and enter the second growth stage, so far, it will begin to have a certain combat ability, which can assist players in fighting monsters and leveling up.
Depending on the type of pet, the materials needed to enter the next growth state are also different. Generally speaking, the higher the bloodline rating, the more difficult it is for a pet to progress.
However, it is still quite far away from level 30, and when the time comes, one step will be one step, and Lin Chen is too lazy to worry so much now. In any case, the higher the bloodline rating, the more powerful the pet will be in the future.
According to the system's instructions, each pet that the player obtains is allowed to change its name once unconditionally. Even if it is this crow that was picked up for nothing and has a name before, Lin Chen can also change its name unconditionally, and it will be troublesome to change the name in the future, and he needs to find some special props.
Lin Chen felt that the name "Jiji" had a good meaning, but it was a little awkward to read.
At this moment, such a picture came to his mind - "Gigi" was standing on his shoulder, but there were always people who were blind or idle to ask about the whereabouts of his "Gigi......
Lin Chen decided to change the name of his first pet to a loud name, the so-called new name and new atmosphere, from the perspective of metaphysics, change the name or something, although it was only the name of the pet...... In short, since the last time the bronze treasure chest opened the black iron equipment, Lin Chen couldn't help but doubt his character.
What's the name?
Lin Chen turned his head and asked the crow on his shoulder: "What name did you say would be better to change for you?" ”
The crow was silent.
"Called a crow?"
The raven continued to be silent.
"No, no, it's called a crow?"
The crow flapped its wings and slapped it on Lin Chen's face, obviously looking a little unhappy.
"Let's call it a crow!"
The crow was furious, and finally spoke up: "Stupid mortal, what a broken name are you taking!" ”
"And what do you want to call it?"
The crow tilted its head, suddenly flew up, flapped its wings in front of Lin Chen, and shouted excitedly: "Just call me Lord Black Crow!" ”
“……”
"I'm Lord Crow! I'm the smartest Crow-sama! Wow Ka Ka! The crow's mood began to lighten.
Lin Chen wiped the back of his fingers with the small pillar of his nose and immediately made a decision: "It's decided, I'll call you Xiao Hei!" ”
Ignoring the crow's protests, he quickly changed its nickname, and after clicking OK, its name became "Little Black".
Xiao Hei's screams stopped abruptly, it seemed to be sulking, no longer paying attention to Lin Chen's teasing, and took the initiative to get back into Lin Chen's pet space, unwilling to come out again.
Lin Chen checked Xiao Hei's information and found that his mood had changed from low at the beginning, and it seemed to be showing signs of improvement, but it turned out to be very depressed.
Lin Chen shook his head, ignoring Xiao Hei's awkwardness for the time being, although pets may rebel against the owner, and pets have hidden loyalty settings, but there will be special signs before betraying, such as extremely fierce eyes on the owner. And Xiao Hei didn't see any other abnormalities except for some small emotions, and it would probably happen in a few days.
Lin Chen quickly left the gravel forest and left the misty forest again.
Instead of returning to the Novice Village again, he bypassed the Novice Village and headed west, finding the path that the village elder had said.
During this journey, apart from the occasional ferocious rabbit or two, there were no other monsters. These fierce rabbits are a few levels higher than those tusked rabbits at the entrance of the village, and they are much stronger in terms of shape, and they will not flee in panic when they see Lin Chen, but they still can't put Lin Chen under any pressure.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Lin Chen found that two ancient stone pillars appeared in his field of vision, standing on both sides of the road. In the space between the two stone pillars, there is a vague unreal, such as water ripples.
Lin Chen checked the map again, and found that he had not gone to the wrong place, and the location of the light point on the map was this location.
As a result, as soon as he stepped in, he received a prompt from the system, reminding him that he would leave the space where the Novice Village was located, and the result was irreversible, which meant that he would never return here.
Lin Chen didn't hesitate and chose to be sure, and then his vision blurred for a while, with a little dizziness.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and when he recovered, he had come to a completely unfamiliar scene, and the road back to the nameless village was nowhere to be seen.
In his ears, a series of systematic prompts sounded.
"Ding!"
"System prompt: The newbie village map has been deleted."
"Ding!"
"System Prompt: You have arrived in the Eternal Continent and the new map has loaded."
"Ding!"
"System Prompt: Explore a new location [Redwood Town]."
……
Lin Chen looked up, Redwood Town was located not far in front of him, and at a cursory glance on the map, it covered an area hundreds of times larger than the Novice Village.
According to the information he learned from the official website before, the national server players belong to the Xingyue Empire, and the Xingyue Empire has four first-level main cities in addition to the royal city, and under each first-level main city, it has jurisdiction over four second-level cities. As for each second-tier city, there are more than four third-tier towns under its jurisdiction.
Redwood Town, on the other hand, is one of the third-level towns that belong to Baiyun City.
After leaving the Starter Village, players can enter Level 3 towns and look for a career mentor to take up a combat class. If you have a lot of gold, you can also buy some private houses, which can be used to store things, and you can even get the status of a townsman. If you go to some secondary cities, such as Baiyun City, you can also go to the city hall to buy some commercial land, and you can build guild or private chamber buildings.
After a brief questioning by the guards of Redwood Town, Lin Chen was quickly allowed to pass.
Shortly after he stepped into the town, he saw the guard Joro, the nephew mentioned by the village elder, patrolling the streets ahead.
Lin Chen just wanted to go up to say hello to him and ask where the career mentor was, but suddenly received a voice application from the sweeping army.
He had just chosen to accept it, and the joyful voice of the sweeping army immediately came out.
"Brother Chen, you are really amazing!"
"What's going on?" Lin Chen felt puzzled.
"Your name has been hung on the forum, congratulations, you became the first player in the national server to kill a silver-level boss, and someone just uploaded a video on the forum." Sweep the army to explain.
Lin Chen shook his head and said: "It's just luck, and this is nothing to congratulate, after all, the tree is a big move, if you don't have enough strength, it's better to keep a low profile in the early stage." ”
"What then?" After listening to Lin Chen's words, the sweeping army seemed to be a little anxious.
"Don't be nervous, there are pros and cons. The disadvantages are as far as I just said, if it is too high-profile, it is easy to be targeted by some people, unless it is to take refuge in some big forces. As for the advantage, it is that the reputation is loud, and it will be much easier for us to form a team in the future. ”
"Ugh."
"Anyway, let it be. My principle is that we don't deliberately make a high profile, but we will not deliberately back down on the honor that we can compete for. ”
Lin Chen smiled and continued, "I have already left the Novice Village and am now in Redwood Town. You also hurry up to level 10, and when you leave the novice village, we will team up to level up. ”
"I'm trying to get to level 10 in the afternoon."
"Let's not talk about it for now, I'm going to get a combat profession as soon as possible, I've been delayed too much time before."
Lin Chen hung up the voice with the sweeping army, found Qiao Luo, and showed that he knew the village elder, and Qiao Luo immediately showed great enthusiasm.
Even, Qiao Luo said that he would take Lin Chen to visit his house.
Lin Chen decisively refused, and after asking the location of the career mentor, he said goodbye to Qiao Luo.
