Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 9 The Merchant
The boar fell to the ground in agony, stirring up dust and bleeding from its mouth and nose.
The sword stabbed by the Xuanyuan Moon Demon was very effective, not only did it deliver a "fatal blow", but the wooden sword left in the boar's body continued to cause damage. The boar's rage was unsustainable, and the wound further drained its strength, allowing it to last only three minutes. Xuanyuan Moon Demon stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword, pressed the pig's head with one hand, and stirred it vigorously, until he completely killed the boar, he pulled out the wooden sword, the sword was full of stench and blood, he frowned and grabbed a blade of grass to wipe it, but he didn't care what the boar exploded. However, according to the system's calculations, he is the one who causes the most damage to the boar, and only he has the right to touch the corpse, so the players present can only do it for him, and cannot take any substantive action against the boar corpse.
Tu Shi sighed: "That sword is so powerful! It's not an ordinary attack, is it? ”
"It's not an ordinary attack, it's a charged attack." Xuanyuan Dragon God answered with a smile. "Charged attacks need to be held in a charged position for a few seconds, and then stabbed, which can deal more damage than 120% of normal attacks, but just like the ultimate, there will be a hitstun time after activation, during which the player is unguarded, which can be regarded as both pros and cons."
At the moment, players have only mastered throwing attacks, and this is the first time they have heard of charged attacks. Tu Shi said sincerely: "Thank you!" That way it's much easier for me to fight monsters! ”
"No thanks, this kind of trick can't be put on the table." Xuanyuan Moon Demon replied, and began to touch the corpse, looking at his expression, he really didn't take the trick of charging attacks seriously. He removed the boar's two fangs and tried them with his fingertips, and was quite satisfied. As for the pigskin, it was impossible to peel it off with a wooden sword, and the meeting would have to ask the villagers for help.
The villagers' side also came to an end, and the boar successfully attacked the east and west, and then fled back to the mountain. According to Orion Chai Hu, the boar has the most sharp nose, and this time only one boar stepped on the trap, so that the villagers fell behind. In the face of the night attack of wild boars, the correct way is not to hit a wounded pig, but to leave the injured pig alone, wave a torch to scare away other wild boars, and protect the grain. And the players left the place, causing the boars to burrow into the fields, not to mention what they eat, and even more to destroy the crops. A certain villager happened to be the owner of one of the stricken fields, and when he saw the mess, the six-foot man knelt on the ground and cried. The chief of the security guard had a very ugly face, and it was obvious that he wanted to scold his mother. Orion Chai Hu is in charge, and divides one-third of the wild boar meat caught by the player to the villagers who have suffered from the disaster, chatting as compensation, Xuanyuan Moon Demon gets one-third, and the others present share one-third equally. The boar is fat and strong, and the net meat is also about 200 catties, and each person can get a few taels.
Mountain boar: The meat is delicious and chewy. Eating it restores 60 satiety, and there is a 20% chance of triggering the "Disease" state if it is not cooked. Can be used in life occupations (raw materials for cooking).
Tu Shi sympathized with the villager, found Chai Hu and said that he didn't want his share of meat and gave it to that person. A player listened and squeezed Tu Shi with his elbow: "You stupid, you!" Meat! Do you still want to eat those unpalatable dough cakes that are so bad that you die? ”
"It's just meat, but you can eat it in reality."
"The problem is that you also contribute! It's a matter of course to take it, don't take it for nothing! Big brother, they are NPCs, what does it matter if they eat meat or not, isn't it all data? ”
Tu Shi didn't want to refute, just smiled and shook his head, and the player had to chant "Brain Dead is not saved" and left.
Xuanyuan Dragon God saw it very clearly on the side, and persuaded: "Brother, your approach is very humane, but it is too mother-in-law." You don't have to treat NPCs like you do to living people, how troublesome is that? If you want to do big things, don't care about such details. You should take a long-term view. He spoke in a way that seemed very convincing.
But Tu Shi is used to doing what I do, and I just laugh. Although he has never ploughed the field, he doesn't know how hard it is to plow the field, but it must be a sad and pity thing to make a big man cry, so he hopes to help the other party, a piece of meat is just a small effort. As for whether or not to give something to NPCs...... He hadn't really thought about it. Qiankun designed NPCs so realistically that he never distinguished them from players.
After dividing the meat, the chief of the security guard, Feng Youjing, came over and scolded the players, scolding them for being waste, not obeying military orders, and beheading them in the army. He waved his hand: "Get out of here, I don't need your vigil!" Remember for me, there are rules for everything! ”
Players stared wide-eyed. There's still a task hanging on the body.,The task says that the longer you stick to it, the more rewards.,......
System Prompt: Your mission has changed due to storytelling.
System Prompt: Complete your mission "Vigil" and get a reward: a few XP points.
Tu Shi suddenly, oh, it turns out that emergencies will change the plot of the game and affect the mission at the same time! However, this task is too stingy, only experience, no money. A white light flashed on his body, and he had already reached level 4. Xuanyuan Moon Demon crossed the level to kill monsters and was promoted to level 5, the first person in the novice village.
Now that the mission has been terminated and it is late at night, the players will rush back to the village in clusters, ready to break up and go offline, and many of them have added friends with the Xuanyuan trio.
Tu Shi followed the players and walked one foot deep and one foot shallow. When he turned around, he saw the villagers surrounding the victims as if they were comforting, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do. The night breeze blew a chill on his body, causing him to shrink his shoulders.
————————————————————————————————————
When he got up early the next morning, Tu Shi was not in a hurry to go online, but exchanged experiences with everyone in the group.
Tu Shi: "I'm in Daxinwu Village!" ”
Liu Hanshi: "Lingchuan and I are in a place called Dajiyun. ”
Everyone reported the name of their own novice village, and it seems that only Liu Hanshi and Lu Lingchuan are the luckiest and are assigned to the same novice village, which is too small.
Tu Shi: "This game is so slow to upgrade, I have only reached level 4 until now!" ”
Liu Hanshi: "I'm level 5." ”
Everyone: "So fast?!" "You stayed up all night?!"
Lu Lingchuan: "This guy set fire to the monster!" ”
It turned out that there were also poisonous snakes rampant outside the village where the two of them were, and Liu Han simply set fire to the grassland outside, and the experience points were so much that he jumped directly to level 5. In this regard, Liu Hanshi said very blandly: "In this game, not only the sword can kill. ”
Tu Shi thought so, but he felt even more incredible. Although he had mastered throwing attacks and charged attacks, they were still ordinary categories, and he didn't think there was such a thing as setting fire to monsters. This is also inertial thinking, after all, monster farming is generally done by the master, how can a novice who has not yet changed jobs master the range killing ability? Oh yes, the master of the "Huaxia" server is not a mage, he should be called a Taoist.
Everyone exchanged ideas and found that not every novice village has the same monsters, but the distribution of monsters is roughly the same. Liu Hanshi casually said several ways to farm monsters according to everyone's situation, with low cost and high efficiency, except for Tu Shi, everyone was very happy. Tu Shi still has a lot of feelings for swords, and he would rather upgrade slower than use crooked ways. Of course, shortcuts are just shortcuts.,It's not always something that can be taken.,After setting fire to the monster.,The monster won't be refreshed on the map for a long time.,And the NPC will also prohibit the player from setting fire for the second time on the grounds of "high wind and dry things".,It's a heart that makes the player die and uses this trick to brush to level 10.。
In addition, the geography, NPCs, maps, and plots of each novice village are different. The NPCs of "Qiankun" are randomly generated by the system, and there may be NPCs with the same name and surname, but there are no NPCs that are tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, and children who are completely identical, let alone an entire village. Obviously, it is just a novice village in the early transition stage of the game, and the novice village has done it so sincerely, Tu Shi is more and more fond of this game.
Of course, not everyone is the same as Tu Shi. Although many people responded to the class reunion, there were still some people who were uncomfortable on the first day of the trial, including a female classmate who fainted blood. It's not a good thing to say that "Qiankun" is too realistic, the flesh and blood splash is not coded, and even Tu Shi feels a little disgusting, let alone a girl. Tu Shi was also very sorry for this, and asked the female classmate to ask the customer service to see if she could lower the bloodiness, but judging from the tone of the other party, most of them would not play again. There are also people who don't plan to play warriors at all (called "warriors" in the "Huaxia" server), and they hate the broken sword in their hands, and they are perfunctory in fighting monsters, and they can't go up in level.
"Everyone hurry up to level 10, we will meet in the main city, and we can change to whatever profession you want! Then we'll team up and play the game together! ”
After sending the last sentence, Tu Shi hurriedly went online.
The morning light is at first appear, and the rooster crows. The women were beating their clothes by the well, and the children were playing, and it was a peaceful scene, but the only fly in the ointment was that the village was filled with the smell of sulfur, which made people cry. There are early players who have begun to take on tasks everywhere, in fact, there are a lot of tasks, such as helping children make a bamboo dragonfly, or helping women fetch water, or sending a sweat towel for a wife to her husband who plows the field, etc., etc., as long as you can endure the boredom, the upgrade is not slower than fighting monsters - of course, it means fighting monsters without skills.
If you want to talk about skills, Tu Shi in this novice village will convince Xuanyuan Moon Demon one, and the others are scum. Xuanyuan Moon Demon also got up early, and when he saw Tu Shi, he nodded indispensably, which was regarded as a greeting, but of course, his expression was cold and he still rejected people thousands of miles away. It's better not to take care of yourself, so I don't want to join your guild...... Tu Shi thought about it, and walked towards the village chief's house, he wanted to ask the village chief about the black water pool in the back mountain.
At this moment, a crisp bell sound came from the entrance of the village. As soon as the children heard the sound, they ran over as fast as they could, and they did not forget to call their friends along the way. Now it's lively, those who play with mud throw the mud, those who knot the grass tug-of-war knead the grass stalks, those who jump the rubber bands don't jump, and the children chirp like orioles, attracting the attention of all players.
The sound of the bell drew nearer, and the one who came was alone, a short, middle-aged man with a turban, leading an old horse with a thin head that he probably couldn't even ride, and a bulging bag on the left and right of the saddle, which was about to fall to the ground. The man was not as tall as his chin, but he was better than holding his head up, and he was energetic, and a group of children surrounded him like a king.
Tu Shi saw that this NPC had never seen it, and subconsciously asked the person next to him: "Who is this...... Ah, village chief, it's early. ”
"It's a late season for the merchant, and he comes once a month." It was the village chief Zheng Gushui who was beside him.
