Now that he had returned to the village, Lin Chen did not rush to the gravel forest to find the witch, but spent a little time finding the blacksmith first.

He submitted the blacksmith's quest and successfully received the reward for the quest. The base reward for the quest "Blacksmith's Mine" is only 800 XP and some Eternal Silver, but because Lin Chen completed the secondary objective, he received an additional piece of equipment.

Lin Chen glanced at the backpack, this piece of equipment just happened to be available to him now-

【Refined Iron Armor】(Quality: Black Iron)

Physical Defense: 14

Magical Defense: 10

Equipment level: 8

Description: A piece of armor crafted from iron ore by Blacksmith Gamble, in addition to its poor appearance, its protection is not bad, as long as you don't wear it to resist the mage's fireballs.

Lin Chen put on the new equipment, then ran to the grocery store to replenish the consumables and bought more than a dozen large bottles of healing potions. After thinking about it, he used all the silver coins under him to buy a small bottle of healing potion, and instantly became a poor egg.

Unexpectedly, his move led him to a task where the grocer owner wanted him to help collect at least 20 "wolf fangs", which could be obtained from the wind wolf.

Lin Chen suddenly remembered that when he brushed the Wind Wolf before, he had accumulated a lot of wolf teeth, which he had kept in his backpack and not sold, so he could take this opportunity to submit them all and exchange them for task rewards.

In the end, he was rewarded with 800 XP and a lot of Eternal Credits.

Lin Chen glanced at the experience bar, and sure enough, in addition to various first kill and level first breakthrough rewards, this experience point is still the fastest by doing tasks. At this point, he is only 15% away from leveling up, and when he completes the task of convincing the witch, it is estimated that it will be about the same.

Lin Chen did not continue to stay in the novice village, the two-hour BUFF state time is not short, it is not long, and the time cannot be wasted.

He quickly left the novice village and ran to the Misty Forest, and through the Misty Forest, he came to the Gravel Forest.

During this time, he bumps into various monsters, both familiar and unfamiliar. Most of the monsters chase after the hatred and disappear, and run back to the place where they are, and basically ignore it. Only a few monsters that are too fast, not so easy to distance themselves and eliminate hatred, will he stop and clean up the trouble behind him.

Even so, it took him more than half an hour to find the witch again.

When Sariel saw him again, the vaguely sad old man was stunned, rubbing his eyelids in disbelief, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"I thought you were dead, that bottle of potion left you with no bones, but now it seems that some kind of power that I don't know has sheltered you."

"I've always believed I could." Lin Chen smiled.

Lisar stared at Lin Chen, and suddenly said, "Speaking of yours, this phenomenon reminds me of a long-ago rumor. I don't know when it began, there was a dislocation in this world, and with the dislocation, there was a special type of people who were independent of the laws of the world, and came suddenly without the slightest warning, they were called 'alien descenders', that is, the so-called abnormal descendants. They all have one thing in common, that is, it is very difficult for them to get a true death, their bodies can be destroyed, but their souls cannot be destroyed. ”

Lin Chen was surprised, is this the player's final position in the eyes of NPCs?

"No one can know whether their arrival is good or bad." She took a deep breath, "There are people who see them as the ultimate hope, the savior chosen by the world, the one who is favored by glory and fate. They are also seen as a symbol of calamity, because with their arrival, the dark abyss will move again, and it is said that even the sleeping demon gods will awaken again. ”

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence?" ”

Lisal didn't pick up Lin Chen's words, and continued to herself: "I once saw such an ancient prophecy - when order collapses, the world mourns, the abyss swallows the earth, and darkness embraces the divine court, the alien will determine the final fate of the world. ”

"Huh?" Lin Chen always felt that Lissar's words had a lot of deep meaning.

"If you're an alien...... Sariel pauses, then continues, "When the Guardians are all too busy to take care of themselves, and the world really falls apart, will you bring hope, or despair?" ”

Lin Chen was stumped by her question, he followed his mood to play the game, how to have fun and how to play, after all, he was just an outsider, and he never thought about what kind of ending he wanted to bring to this world. As long as the reward can be satisfying, I am afraid that many people are happy to choose the destruction of the world, which is the voice of the vast majority of players. However, Lisar is obviously an NPC in the good camp, and such a big truth must not be spoken, and if she says it, her favorability will plummet.

Lisal didn't wait for Lin Chen's reply, so she smiled and said, "May fate favor you." ”

As soon as her words fell, Lin Chen received a prompt from the system, and he successfully completed the task of persuading the witch, obtained a 1000 task reward, and harvested a new task content.

Lin Chen opened the task panel and saw that the witch had decided to help the village deal with the purgatory ogre, and the witch asked him to take her back to the village and find the village elder. This task is very simple, just a simple search for someone, and it is only E level of difficulty, proving that there will be no strange obstacles in between.

"Although you now have the ability to restrain that ogre, and you are our hope of defeating that ogre, your own strength is too weak, and I need to consult with Flower about how to create a chance for you to defeat the ogre."

Lin Chen nodded, and then took the witch back to the novice village, this way back couldn't be easier.

Some monsters were frightened to hide away when they saw the witch, and the remaining monsters that didn't have long eyes didn't need Lin Chen to make a move, and the witch beckoned a fireball to kill a monster in seconds. The experience points of this monster are still counted on Lin Chen's head, and the only regret is that the monster killed by the witch will not burst out of the props and equipment.

The witch urged Lin Chen to move forward quickly, and even added a 25% movement speed bonus buff to him, and the other players were amazed when they saw it. Some people greeted him, wanting to ask him what he had done and why there were NPCs following, but Lin Chen didn't stop to pay attention.

"Drag, what's drag!"

Someone made a dissatisfied voice and continued: "I'll tell you, this kind of person can't live more than half an episode on TV......"

What was hanging on this person's head was the ID of "Ten Thousand Cheap Piercing Hearts", he looked at Lin Chen's distant back, and vaguely felt a little familiar, but in the end he still didn't recognize Lin Chen, after all, almost all the equipment on Lin Chen's body had changed.

No one took his words, Wan Cheap didn't care much, he looked at the only few tattered pieces on his body, and his mind was full of thoughts of "monster farming leveling and explosive equipment".

And then......

"Wait......" Wan Zi exclaimed, "What about my monster?!" ”

He finally got in his position, and was about to make the final kill on the monsters he had just attracted with great difficulty, but this one was not careful—it was all gone.

He was messy in the wind, and it took a while for a kind player to tell him that it seemed that his monsters were killed by the NPC who had just passed by, and he didn't even have a silver coin left.

Lin Chen didn't know about the little episode that happened behind him, with the help of the witch, and he didn't stop sprinting all the way, the time he spent on going back this time was half of it.

The appearance of the witch brought some panic to the village and attracted some onlookers from the players.

Several war mad players recognized Lin Chen's identity, and they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said the name "A Dream for a Thousand Years".

Lin Chen frowned, not that he was afraid of the exposure of his ID, first of all, he didn't have a grudge against anyone now, and secondly, in this novice village, he was confident that no player could pose a threat to him.

I just don't like it, but I can't tell if I don't like these war-mad players because they like to make big news, or if I don't like the war-mad guild from the beginning.

He was a little annoyed, if he hadn't gotten to know Phantom Feather before, he could have completely ignored Phantom Feather's face and not made a good face to these war mad players.

It wasn't until the village elder appeared that his consciousness returned to reality, and the village elder didn't look at him, his eyes were all on Lisal beside him.

"I'm coming." Lisa said with a blank face.

The village elder wanted to start, but he didn't seem to know what to say, so he finally looked at Lin Chen and said to him, "You come with me." ”

Lisal nodded, and Lin Chen followed, and the crowd around her slowly dispersed.
