Chapter 9: I Like You
By the time I found the Shadow, I was completely out of my strength and was standing on the grass.
"What's going on?" The Shadow asked me as he chopped down a few black bear cubs that didn't have long eyes.
"I was tricked by an NPC, and then I killed him, and then I was hunted down." I said infinitely depressed.
“?” The Shadow was confused.
This person is still very reliable, and I didn't hide anything, "It's a long story, and I said that when I first entered the game, I ......"
I talked about my various experiences carefully, of course, I can't mention the matter of making a cane for Caohuamei, hehe. If I had been wary of the Shadow before, I had trusted him at this point, and this man gave me a sense of reassurance. I haven't felt this feeling of peace of mind and reliability for a long time, and I never imagined that I would meet again in an online game.
I quietly looked at the night sky, feeling the fresh air that I can't feel in reality, here, the people here, maybe more realistic than in reality, after all, when playing, there won't be too many worries, the shadow in reality, is it the same, or live with a mask? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the innocent face of the shadow.
"Why are you looking at me so strangely, what are you thinking?" The Shadow was also curious about me who was different from usual, and kept patrolling my face for clues.
"I'm wondering what you're like in reality." I'm deliberately serious.
"In reality? Ordinary small people in the market. The Shadow bullied the bear cub next to him with his sword, as if trying to hide something.
"Cut~~" I cut him mercilessly, ordinary is weird.
"I said, did you get a system prompt if the mission failed or succeeded?"
"No, nothing." Continue to look at the stars and identify the constellations I recognize.
“…… In my opinion, this task has not been completed yet, and I am afraid it is a serial mission. ”
"Serial quests?" I frowned, I even killed the quest NPC, what else is there to do.
"You'd better take a closer look at the things you got, maybe there's some clues."
Take out the white jade crystal, look left and right, and still only mark: task items. I took out the book with the cover of the whiteboard again, and turned the first page to see it, and the title was: How to Achieve the Perfect Hit Rate in Mobile Shooting? What is it. Looking down again, Huo Ran wrote the word "Luo Feng" at the check-in place, and the string of symbols below probably represents the date, I don't understand.
I frowned, "This seems to be the notebook of Archer Instructor Luo Feng, but why is it in Zhu Zifei's place, it's really strange." ”
"It seems that Luo Feng is the NPC of the next ring mission."
"That's right!" I jumped up suddenly, "When I graduated, Luo Feng told me that he would go to him when I was level 15 and there was a task for me, and Zhu Zifei said that the S-level task was a level 15 task, so it was ......"
I glanced at the Shadow, "Rush between NPCs, is this possible?" "The Shadow is a little dizzy.
"I think it's very likely, this is the bridge of most RPG games, I didn't expect to encounter it in the wilderness, it's really interesting, everything will be seen at level 15!" That's what I like the most.
"Well, but the first thing to do now is that you have to wash your reputation."
"Yes." I smiled wryly, "I've found that the most reliable way to grow reputation is to refine new medicines, but where can I find new herbs?" ”
"There's no need for that." The Shadow looked at the sky, "It's almost time, let's go overtake the revenant!" ”
"Over-the-top revenants?" My eyes were full of question marks.
"This is the best way to wash your reputation, and it is rising rapidly." The Shadow opened his attribute panel and let me see the prestige column, damn, there are 200 points, where did this guy come from!
When I arrived at a mass grave, I finally understood what the so-called "super-revenant" was all about, wasn't it just killing ghosts, and it was so mysterious. Looking at all kinds of ghosts with missing arms and legs, pale faces, bleeding from all seven orifices, and malnourished, you know that they are not very powerful.
"Kill ghosts, huh! Look at mine. Saying that, he pulled the bow and put the arrow, "In ancient times, Zhong Kui caught ghosts, and now there are spiders and demons!" ”
A continuous arrow, playing well, seconds a hanged ghost who looks very weak. I smirked at the Shadows. The Shadow shook his head and handed me a bundle of rune paper.
"You have to throw this on the corpse. Otherwise, it is not called excess, it is called slaughter. ”
"Oh, don't say it earlier, play some mystery, cut." As he spoke, he threw a piece of rune paper on the corpse just now, and suddenly a white light flew out of the corpse and disappeared straight into the western sky.
I stared at the night sky in the west with wide eyes, "Is this what is called ascending to Western Bliss?" "The designers of this game are really good at spoofing.
"It should be!" Shadow is also clearly a guy who doesn't know anything about Buddhism.
We struggled here for most of the night, and when it was close to dawn, the ghosts stopped refreshing, and the two of us used up the 1,000 runes of the Shadow Belt, and each of us gained 500 points of reputation, and I am now back to the original point of 340 points, and the reputation of the Shadow has reached a terrifying 700 points, calculated according to the 20 points of reputation for killing a player, which is enough for him to kill 35 ordinary players without becoming famous.
But I wondered, "Shadow, why are you carrying so much rune paper, are you so clever that I will be famous?" ”
Shadow smiled bitterly, "Sister, I originally planned to take you here after nightfall to overspend the reputation of the Revenant, so I bought so much, according to the calculation of the last time I exceeded 100, it is enough for one person to kill 500 tickets in one night." ”
"What do you want so much prestige for, and how do you seem to know everything. Tell me honestly, don't lie, or you will be outfitted! "I pointed my arrows at him fiercely. There is no experience point for killing this kind of prestige monster, and everything has advantages and disadvantages, which affects the upgrade very much.
"I said it." Shadow reluctantly pulled away my arrow, "I want prestige to build a gang in the future, and I know more because I participated in the closed beta, and I was also born in the City of Chaos at that time, so I am familiar with this place, and I don't know about other places." ”
"Cut, I thought you had some earth-shattering secret, so that's it! It would have been fine if I had said no, but I guessed for a long time, sacrificing countless brain cells, you pay! ”
This is also going to be paid?! The Shadow opened its mouth again, revealing a bitter expression.
What's more to his secrets, if he has been with the spider, according to the spider's cleverness, sooner or later he will be exposed, but he can't say it, distressed, by the way, keep his distance, first trick her into a remote area to change jobs, preferably the territory of the demon fox clan, and when she comes back, she will definitely have a help, and when the time comes, she will be busy, presumably according to her character, she will not disturb herself, thinking of this, the shadow and the thief laughed.
"Hey, what are you thinking about, why are you smiling so ****?" Since he is his own, of course, there is no need to pretend to be a lady.
As soon as I spoke, the shadow immediately squirted out the essence of the blessing that he had chewed in his mouth.
Tsk, tsk.
After dawn, we went up to Xiaohua Mountain together.
The monsters on the mountain are generally arranged in order of height, and the lower the level is at the foot of the mountain, and the higher the monster level, the higher the level. At the foot of Xiaohua Mountain is a level 15 brown bear, although the defense is high but the speed is relatively slow, both of us are agile, and it is the most suitable to fight this kind of monster.
At first, I was slashing monsters with Shadow An'an, but after a while I started to get bored. Anyway, the shadow killer kills monsters very quickly, and I can't help much, so I simply opened my mechanic's manual and looked at it, my current carpenter and blacksmith level is too low, and can only do the lowest level of rope mechanism, thinking of the tragic experience of Shadow in Zhaoyao Mountain, I am full of confidence in the power of this mechanism.
But it turns out that there is still a big gap between reality and imagination, my lanyard can't lift the huge body of the heavyweight of the brown bear, and even the shadow breaks free from the lanyard in 10 seconds, I'm extremely frustrated, although 10 seconds is enough for me to kill an ordinary player, but I'm not a murderer, I just want to kill monsters well!
The Shadow was excited, "Spider, put some traps around." ”
"What are you doing, you can't trap the brown bear." Frustrated voices.
"The brown bears around you will be attacked by you when they touch those mechanisms, and they will run after you, you can lead more, I can use group skills!" The Shadow said it for granted, as if I deserved to be the bait.
I looked at the shadow depressedly, "Shadow Hero, look at you, dressed like a future soldier, of course I'm not afraid of being slapped by a bear's paw, what about me?" I tugged at my clothes, "The whiteboard leather armor can't stop the bear's paws." ”
The Shadow smiled sinisterly, "Your agility is so high, you can't outrun a brown bear." ”
"Of course I'm not afraid of two or three, but you see." I pointed to the dense brown bears around me, "There are so many bears, how much will I be alarmed when I run, the death method of being shot to death by a group of bears is too ugly, I won't do it!" ”
Shadow smiled again, "It's definitely good for me to let you do it, in my experience during the closed beta, it's necessary to practice dodge skills, as long as the skills are proficient, it's okay to take on the boss alone, the current situation is just right for practice, it's a pity to let it go." ”
Looking at the affirmative eyes of the shadows, with the longing to take on the boss alone, I believed it. So, I began to jump up and down from bear to bear, and with a growing group of blind bears around the woods. Half a day later, in addition to being half tired and half dead, I didn't feel that my dodging skills had improved much, and this shadow had played me again!
"Shadow, I can't do it anymore, my stamina is almost at the bottom!" I was out of breath.
"Then you hide on that rock!" Shadow finger pointed to a steep rock near the mountain wall.
I flew out, and I was very skilled at climbing up and down, and I climbed up the rock without much difficulty, and sat on it to watch the shadow show.
It's no exaggeration to say that watching Shadow Kill is a pleasure, and it's more enjoyable than watching a striptease. The sword, like a living creature, flew up and down, splashing with a puff of blood. The footwork was like Ling Bo's slight step, and with a single move, it defused the extremely dangerous attack.
Looking at the swordsmanship of the shadows swaying freely in the sunset, I couldn't help but sigh, this man is really good, he can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, a model of a good man in the new era, if I just let me go, I will be SB, I must sum it up and see how to get him.
Before I could figure out a good idea, the Shadow was done and climbed up to the rocks.
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry, give me some essence." Shadow has a cute smile, similar to Lulu.
I took out a pill of Wishing Essence and kindly sent it to his mouth, "Open your mouth." I said softly.
The Shadow had opened his mouth, but it was clearly a knee-jerk reaction to the start, and it seemed that he was not very comfortable with my sudden gentleness, failure, I thought.
Looking at the Shadow's surprised face, I had no choice but to stuff the essence of the blessing into his hand and turn my head to continue watching the sunset.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
After a while, Shadow coughed dryly, "Spider, when are you going online tomorrow?" ”
"Hmm~ Tomorrow will be full of classes, about half past eight to nine o'clock!"
"You're a student?!" The Shadow was surprised.
"Am I not like a student?"
The Shadow shook his head, "Your eyes are unfathomable, not innocent at all. ”
I fainted directly, there are people who say that! I'm quite a simple child, how can I be wronged? I think you're unfathomable.
The Shadow ignored my devastated expression, "What school are you in?" ”
I steadied my crumbling body, "You don't know, Devil City Electronic College, haven't you heard of it!" ”
Contrary to what I had imagined, Shadow was very excited, "Devil's City Electronic Academy? Is it the fully enclosed university that was originally in Zhejiang and later moved to the desert? ”
I looked at him strangely, "I know it's a bit unreasonable that our school is built on the edge of the desert, but you don't need to be so excited!" ”
The Shadow was silent, "Do you know why your school moved there?" ”
"The devil knows! But there's nothing wrong with it except that it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter, at least it's quiet and unpolluted. ”
"Huh." The Shadow smiled softly, "Are there many research institutes next to your school?" ”
"Not much, just three, a nuclear power research institute, a biochemical research institute, and a desert vegetation research institute." I've already figured out the big in Devil's City. "There's another oil rig, and there's nothing else there."
"The experiments of those two institutes must be dangerous!" He was referring to the Institute of Nuclear Power and the Institute of Biochemistry.
"It's not dangerous, they also have a small nuclear power plant, but they are stingy and don't use it for our schools, so we have to use solar energy, and there are always power outages!" As I spoke, I complained.
The Shadow shook his head helplessly, deciding to instill in me a sense of crisis. "Think about it, what would happen if there was a nuclear explosion at that nuclear power research institute or a biochemical reagent leak at the biochemical research institute?"
Listening to Shadow's words, I remembered Resident Evil for no reason, and shuddered, "Will it be like in Resident Evil, where people all turn into zombies?" I asked the Shadow.
The Shadow rolled his eyes at my words, and almost lost his breath. "You, what's going on in your head? Corpse?! You've watched too many sci-fi movies! ”
I gave him a blank look, "What's wrong with science fiction movies, virtual online games were still science fiction decades ago!" Aren't we all playing now, imagination drives scientific progress, and I am following the trend of the times. ”
The Shadow fell limply, "I...... That's not what I mean, I mean ......."
Before he finished speaking, I picked up the stubble: "Okay, I know, I'm not a fool, you hint at me like this, it's just to say that there are cats in our school!" Those sneaky things are naturally easy to do in the desert. But none of this has anything to do with me, I'm graduating soon, and I'm not going to that desert in the future, so I don't bother to bother with all that mess. ”
"You're not curious?" Shadow asked curiously.
"I'm very curious, if you know the inside story, tell me, if you don't know, I won't investigate it myself, it's better to play a game when you have that time."
The Shadow was silent for a moment, and after a moment suddenly said, "You're really good, I like you." ”
What? I gouged out my ears and looked at the shadows in amazement, just now he said he liked me? I feel like I'm going to put on a set of rabbits, and the rabbit hits a tree stump and faints.
The Shadow didn't continue the conversation, though, and didn't give me time to think.
"Spider, you're going to change races at level 15, do you have any plans?" The Shadow spoke casually, as if he had just said to me, 'Have you eaten?', and I had mixed feelings when I saw him like this, no matter how thick-skinned I was, I couldn't say 'Do you really like me?' I like you too. In that case, since he doesn't care, I don't have to think about it all the time.
I shook my head, "I don't have any plans, I don't even know what race I have, or I'll switch to a race with you!" "I subconsciously don't want to be separated from him, in this case, there will be no afterplay when separated.
"Huh." The Shadow laughed again, a low laugh floating on the side of my face, making me lose my mind a little. "I want to transfer to the Suni clan, that one is not suitable for archers, in my experience, the demon fox clan is more suitable for you."
"Demon Fox Clan?" I'm interested, you must know that the vixens are all men who are so handsome that they are, and women who are so beautiful that they are earth-shattering, and it would be a beautiful thing to see such a race. "Where?"
"Southeast, where the sun rises. From here, through 1/3 of the continent, you can reach the natural barrier spider forest of the demon fox clan, and through the forest, you can see the moat misty swamp of the demon fox clan, and you will arrive after the swamp. "The Shadow spoke with ease, and I was speechless.
"Well, is there a teleportation where you can sit?" I asked cautiously.
"No, the transmission of the demon fox clan is one-way, only in and out."
I was silent, and though the fox was very attractive to me, I really didn't want to run that far. If you go, you have to be separated from the grass and flowers, and more importantly, you have to be separated from the shadows, I don't know what will happen when I come back, I hate the change in the life I am used to. But in the game, it's really important to switch to the right race, and I'm a bit torn between them.
"Shadow, are you sure I'm suitable for the Demon Fox Clan?" I confirm again.
"The talent of the demon fox clan is to increase agility, which is the best for archers and thieves."
"You don't know where the Demon Fox Clan's territory is, and its teleportation array is not open, how can I change jobs?"
"You go all the way to the southeast, and you're sure you'll find it."
"What if I get lost, besides, the demon fox race is not the only one who is agile."
"Because the demon fox clan is the most difficult to turn."
"You mean to say that the Demon Fox Clan has the greatest benefits after changing jobs?"
"Clever! That's what it means. ”
After some discussion, the meaning of the shadow prevailed, and it is right to think about it, big risks always coexist with big benefits, which is the conclusion reached by human civilization for thousands of years. But how do I always feel like the Shadows are hiding some secret from me?
"Shadow, you've been online for a long time, are you a pro?"
"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away."
"What the hell is that?"
"I'll tell you when we get closer." The Shadow smirked.
Well? This line seems to be a classic line from a soap opera, I didn't expect this guy to go to the eight o'clock stall, which was really unexpected.
"Shadow, I still have 1% experience at level 13, it seems that I can do it before I go offline today, tomorrow I will invite you to a big dinner, reward you for this great hero! Don't shirk it! As he spoke, he patted the shadow on the shoulder, making the shadow cry and laugh.
"It is an honor for Wechen to serve Her Majesty." The Shadow simply put on the appearance of an ancient traitor. We both looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
PS: About class transfer: Players can choose their favorite race to change classes when they reach level 15, and after the job change, the attribute value will be corrected according to the race talent, and you can also learn the race talent skills.
