Chapter 15: The Surprised Blacksmith
Li Ming, who has been promoted to level 4, now finally knows the magic of several pieces of equipment, and also knows what happens to the system evenly distributing attributes after each upgrade for Terran players.
Every time he upgrades, the system will automatically assign him two attribute values, and sure enough, he will automatically add points according to the average development route.
When he reaches level 2, the system adds 1 point to his strength and agility, and when he reaches level 3, it adds 1 point to his constitution and wisdom, and when he reaches level 4, he adds 1 point to his strength and wisdom, and there is no pattern at all......
Li Ming, who was helpless, could only chat with Fan Hua privately through the pager during leveling and ask what was going on in this regard.
Knowing that Li Ming had quickly risen to level 4, Fan Hua explained after a while of praise that this is because players have not yet chosen a profession, and the system automatically adds points to take into account all attributes.
Once players have selected a combat class, every time a player levels up, the system will automatically add points and start to distribute them evenly according to the path of career development.
In other words, as long as Li Ming chooses a warrior, the system will no longer bless him with wisdom points......
Li Ming, who understood the situation, was a lot more relieved.
Putting on his new belt, he continued to talk to the novice village chief......
"You're a brave lad, but there's still a lot of testing to be a true fighter. Next, you go to the southeast of the village, where there are countless mad dogs roaming the wild dogs, they have very strong attack power, go kill them, get ten full dog tails and come back to me. The village chief said with a smile.
Bite...... System: Congratulations to the player, you have successfully triggered the main story of the beginner [Warrior Training]: The village chief asks you to go to the southeast of the village, find the crazy wild dogs, kill them and get 10 [Complete Tails]!
Rewards: XP +80, Bronze +1, and a novice shoulder pad.
……
As the village chief issued the task, a new system prompt popped up in front of Li Ming's eyes.
Having become familiar with the game's tasks, he immediately ended the dialogue plot and turned around and walked quickly towards the street entrance.
The number of players in the village is so large that time has to be tighter if you want to rush to the front quickly.
Quickly rush through the long street, passing by system buildings on both sides, and there are many novice village NPCs, many of which have quest icons shining above their heads, indicating that there are new quests to accept.
But Fan Hua reminded that in addition to the main plot of the village chief, most of the other tasks are boring tasks such as sending letters or finding items, and the rewards are only some experience points and copper coins, but there are also some equipment rewards, so there is really no need to waste time.
So Li Ming kept his curiosity and didn't talk to any NPCs, but when he ran across the long street, he was about to enter the corner of the street on the other side, and when he rushed directly to the gate of the novice village, in front of a building at the corner of the street, there was a burly figure standing with a shiny task icon on his head, which immediately attracted his attention.
This is the last NPC on the long street who can accept the task, with a figure like an iron tower, carrying a huge iron hammer, and above the name of [Blacksmith Li Da] above his head, a golden question mark shines brightly.
Anyway, when he turned the corner to pass by the blacksmith Li Da, Li Ming approached and tried to talk to him......
Since the other party is a blacksmith, if you receive his task, you may be able to get a weapon reward, and replace the light wooden sword in your hand, it seems that the blacksmith shop is the place where weapons are sold......
Because Li Ming has now been promoted to level 4, many side quests in the Novice Village have been opened one by one, plus there are some copper coins on his body, so he can't wait to replace the wooden sword with poor attack power in his hand.
Even if you don't get a mission, just see what new weapons you have.
"Dear Uncle Blacksmith, is there anything you need my help with?" Li Ming approached the burly man and asked respectfully.
"It turns out that it's clear that you came just in time, and the uncle is in a hurry now...... I went to collect ore outside the village a few days ago, but I didn't expect to lose my family's iron tongs, without the iron tongs, I can't work well for the past two days, if you go out of the village, can you help my uncle find the iron tongs? Blacksmith Li Da said with a sad face.
Well, it's a finding mission......
Li Ming was speechless in his heart, Fan Hua was right, there was really no need to do the side quest in the Novice Village.
But now that the quest dialogue has been opened, let's see how the reward is, anyway, I have to go out of the village, and if I can find it, I can help him, and if I can't find it, forget it.
"Uncle, in which direction did your iron tong fall, if I pass by there, I will help you look carefully." Li Ming said.
"Very well, thank you, young man, if you go to the south side near the foot of the mountain, you can help me take a closer look at the situation in the vicinity, especially the crazy monkeys at the foot of the mountain, maybe my iron tongs are in their hands." Blacksmith Li Da said excitedly.
Bite...... System: Clearly, did you accept Blacksmith Li Da's request to help him recover his lost pincers?
……
Accept.
Li Ming immediately made a choice, anyway, it was a convenient task, and there was no punishment if he couldn't complete it.
"Great, you're a good young man, if you can help Uncle find the pincers, Uncle will definitely give you a weapon to take advantage of." Blacksmith Li Da smiled and waved his hand, and a white halo flew in front of Li Ming......
Bite...... System: Congratulations to the player for successfully accepting the [Blacksmith's Request]: Blacksmith Li Da has asked you to go to the foot of the mountain south of the village to find his lost ancestral iron tongs.
Rewards: +60 XP, +1 Copper, and a starter weapon
……
"Understood, uncle, I'll try to help you find the tongs." Li Ming waved his hand and flicked the message away, turned around and was just about to leave.
Suddenly, he thought of the mysterious [Craftsman Token] in the package......
The name of this token is called the craftsman god, and the attributes of the system are also introduced very clearly, and the craftsman mentor in the novice village is required to figure out the situation, but now this blacksmith Li Da is also a craftsman NPC......
Show him the token and maybe get some useful information in advance!
"Uncle, I still have something here, I don't know if you know it?" Li Ming had already exhaled the package and handed it to the other party with a golden token.
"What...... What is this, lad, show me! Blacksmith Li Da's reaction really made him happy in his heart.
In fact, Li Ming didn't know that in the Spirit Realm and some other virtual games, low-level NPCs like Blacksmith Li Da would not usually chat with players except for talking to players when accepting tasks.
Aside from quests, he doesn't make small talk to the players for a word.
But because of Li Ming's token, this NPC behaved differently......
