Chapter Eighty-Three: The Awakened Thief
Trisco is interested in learning survival skills in the wild, and ignores the King Kong cat who helps him pay his tuition.
"Master, I learned how to fish, do you know any other field skills?" As an NPC, Trisco pursues the tradition of respecting teachers and teaching, and has great respect for Lao Xu.
Lao Xu said seriously: "Fishing can only be mixed with food and clothing." In the Northlands, fishing skills are even more useless in winter. You and I learn to fish, it's better to follow Lao Zhang to learn to strike iron! β
"Oh, I know that, my mom said the same!" The young man was very impatient: "You can still live with the stove in winter, and you won't be frozen at allβbut master, you have also seen the world, do you think it is interesting for a young man like me to live a life in a town the size of a palm?" β
It doesn't matter if you are an NPC or a real person, young people are all virtuous. King Kong Cat thought.
Lao Xu also smiled and patted Trisco's shoulder. He originally wanted to slap Trisco's head, but Trisco didn't look like he wanted to dodge, after all, it was the master's action that showed concern.
"When I was younger, I wanted to go out and break out. I've broken through and I'm back! Except for a little thought, nothing was left behind. If you want to go, I support you, but do you think about what you are capable of now? When you go out, people who don't have the ability will be looked down upon. β
Trisco: "I can fish, and I can ......"
Lao Xu waved his hand: "Stop." I know what you're going to do! The tuition fee that the master just charged...... You take it back and give it to your mother. I'm not short of that money. β
Trisco looked embarrassed and took out a small money bag: "Master, I just want to try my craft." I think ......"
"Do you think that if I can't find out, I'm not qualified to say that you're incompetent?" The old permit is a veteran who has experienced the battle, and although Trisco's stealing action is fast, he can't hide it. "I don't have to compare myself to you. Tell me, whose money bag can you steal without being discovered? Let's just say that those who are not lower than you! β
Trisco snapped his fingers: "I don't dare to steal it, Mayor, I'm afraid he will embarrass my mother." I haven't stolen a few of the soldiers guarding the door, I've seen them beat people, and it's very profitable! But one of the old drunkards, I was able to steal a couple of copper plates every time he was drunk. I don't dare to steal the old man in the leather vest on South Street, this old guy sees me with a kind face, and when he looks at others, he looks fierce, thinking that I don't know. I've stolen everyone else! β
Lao Xu sneered: "If you don't talk about others, Lao Zhang, the strength of Blacksmith Zhang, you can't steal his things!" The owner of the tavern, every time you steal it, will deduct it from your mother's wages for washing dishes. Your mother gave him an explanation! As for the old drunkard, I can't even see his rank. Such a person, even if he dies, you can't steal successfully! β
Trisco couldn't believe it, and his face began to turn depressed.
Lao Xu's face became kind: "Since I am willing to teach you some skills, of course I will inquire about your character." Aside from petty theft, there's nothing wrong with you. Moreover, what you steal is willing to share with your friends on the street. Well, I guess that's the reason why everyone is willing to tolerate you! β
The old drunkard in the guards, the old man in the leather vest on South Street, these are all hidden NPCs, right? King Kong Cat is happy: this task seems to be a success!
Trisco couldn't refute Lao Xu, so he had to agree to honestly improve his strength first, and then consider the plan of 'going out': "Then master, how can I find a combat mentor?" β
Lao Xu has always been cunning, and the idea he gave to Trisco this time also opened the eyes of King Kong Cat.
Trisco quietly follows the old drunkard and finds that he wants to go to the tavern, so he takes a detour in advance and drops a gold coin on the old drunkard's path. The old drunkard picked up the gold coin, and sure enough, ran into the tavern to have a good drink, and then fell drunk on the street.
Seeing that the time had come, Trisco ran up to the old drunkard's pocket. As usual, it is three copper plates. Then go and pick up the old drunkard's boots! Pick off one left foot, and then try to pick up the right foot, but can't pick it off. When he raised his eyes, the old drunkard was staring at him, a pair of drunken eyes were shining at this time, how could he look half drunk?
Trisco grinned, picked up one of the boots on the ground and began to put it on the old drunkard, "I just wanted to try." Some say that if I can steal your old boots, give me ten gold coins! I'll buy you a new pair, and there are nine left! "A boot for a gold coin can only be a whiteboard boot in the player's hand, and it may not even cost half a gold coin.
The old drunkard coughed and took off the boot on his right foot: "Look at how many gold coins these boots are worth?" β
The pairs of boots glowed purple, dazzling the titanium alloy dog eyes of the King Kong cat hiding in the shadows, and it was actually a purple equipment! Except for the purple martial arts in the hands of the seven swordsmen, he really hadn't seen any other purple equipment!
"Huh?" Trisco's mouth opened in shock: "Purple! It's worth a few hundred gold coins, right? β
The old drunkard snorted: "At least a thousand gold coins!" Do you think the old man's leather boots are the rags of those adventurers' stalls? A thief who doesn't enter the stream, he doesn't even know if he is used as a gun! Say, who taught you to do that? β
Trisco said, "The man said that the best equipment a thief can wear must be a dagger or a boot. Daggers can be desperate, boots are used to escape. β
The old drunkard put on his boots: "You haven't said who told you to do this!" β
Trisco's eyes rolled: "You're not my master!" Why should I tell you? β
"If I take you as an apprentice, how can I teach your master?"
"He only taught a few life skills. But this is also a master, I can't betray him! β
The old drunkard said: "You remember, a thief, except for his own patron saint, has nothing that cannot be betrayed!" Master, not necessarily a patron saint! β
With that, an orange glow rose from Trisco's body. The light was so dazzling that King Kong felt like the whole town could see it. He could also see that Trisco's level had changed, from level 10 to level 15.
The chat speaker flashed, and someone from Qijian asked: "There was an orange light flashing in Huyang Town just now. Who knows what's going on? β
King Kong Cat was excited, he estimated that few people in the entire game had ever seen such a thing as NPC upgrades: "The boss's follower Trisco has been upgraded, and it has suddenly changed from eleven or twelve to fifteen!" King Kong briefly described what he saw.
The all-class master also knows about Trisco, but he is not very detailed: "This is not an upgrade, this is an awakening. Do you remember that in the novice village, we had to go up to level fifteen before we could participate in the battle, which was a hunting operation? Fifteenth is a watershed moment! This thief is able to fight! The thief has a betrayal bloodline, so be careful not to be fooled by him! β
Su Cheng hehe: "Don't be afraid." I signed a servant agreement with him. Don't ask the cat, when there are a lot of people, ask him to show the video for everyone to see! Is it recorded? β
King Kong Cat: "Khan - I forgot!" β
Pretend to be a prisoner: "Then you're going to be a humanoid VOD!" β
King Kong Cat: "Am I wrong, okay?" It seems that the thief has also taken the task, and he is half on his knees! The old man gave it to him - I'll go, the old man is so generous! Give your purple leather boots to Trisco! β
Master: "This is a ceremony to take in apprentices, right?" Usually NPCs do two things when they take in apprentices: teach skills and arrange tasks. Thieves, most of the skills are stealing. Quests are usually related to the person in question of the thief's employment. Maybe it has something to do with cats! Cat cat you posted! β
What mission Trisco took on, no one knows. But the huge benefits of this quest to King Kong Cat are immediately visible.
Trisco got up and walked past King Kong without looking back: "You follow me, stay away!" β
King Kong was a little nervous: "How far?" β
"Just see me. Get your paws out! β
The King Kong cat showed its purple wolf claws, dropped far behind Trisco, and came to the South Street of Huyang Town step by step. He walked in the safe zone where players couldn't PK with a handful of Ziwu in his hand, and he felt that he was too arrogant no matter how he walked.
"Look, there's a stupid Γ there, showing off his might with a weapon in the safe zone!"
"Yo, that's true. Dragged the same as 2580,000. Brother, he's holding a handful of Ziwu, right? β
"You think he's the Man of the Seven Swords? The people of Zhuyuan also have Ziwu! β
"Let's go, brother. We can't afford to offend either of these guilds! β
"Cut! As soon as Ziwu was held, he put on an arrogant look of 'you come to cut me'. Is it worth it? β
Labor and management are not arrogant, they are nervous! King Kong Cat was lying down with a gun every time he walked, and he was unhappy, so he simply turned on the effect of the tomb robber suit, and with a light and shadow that was uncertain, he followed Trasco with a big grin step and three steps: What's wrong with arrogance? I didn't eat your rice!
When the two came to South Street one after the other, they saw a bald fat man, half-shirtless, lying on a rocking chair with a leather vest on his body. When the fat man saw Trisco walk in, he suddenly stood up: "Boy, are you a thief?" Who in Huyang Town is so bold that he dares to rob the apprentice of labor and management? β
Trisco said proudly: "The master has been in the town for many years, and you don't know him?" Do you dare to go to him? β
People know you, but you can't recognize them, it only means that their strength is far higher than you! The fat man didn't dare to say anything too ugly, but his anger was hard to quench: "Labor and management also accept an apprentice, and tell him to flatten you every day!" See what your master can do! "When there is a fight between apprentices, of course the master will not make a move. Then you can only train apprentices! The fat man looked left and right, and just saw an arrogant player with half-long hair covering his face, walking with the wind, and dragging the same as 258,000. The player still has Ziwu in his hand, which means that his strength is good. And the wolf's claw is the rogue weapon. I've heard that adventurers level up quickly β it's you! "Hey, that adventurer, that's you! Stinky fart coaxing boy, come over to labor! β
