Chapter 3: The loss of a loved one
Chapter 3: The Loss of a Loved One
In the face of the dying Uncle Green, Rosen has no choice, he is now only level 7, and he only has three basic skills given by the game system, basic heavy attack, basic shooting, and basic light bullets. There was no formal skill, and there was no means of treatment, so Lawson could only press hard against Green's abdominal wound and watch his life pass little by little.
"Ahem...... Green coughed up blood continuously, and Rosen hurriedly dragged Green's head up.
With a weak breath, Green struggled to raise his arm, and said intermittently: "Luo...... Rosen...... You, where are you......"
Green's eyes were bloodshot so badly injured that he couldn't see anything.
"Uncle Green, I'm here." Rosen gripped Green's hand tightly.
"Ahem...... You're okay, great...... Finish. You, ahem, I didn't expect you to have the potential of a war officer...... potential, and also created my own combat skills, I have seen it blindly...... However, I was also relieved that I ...... Ahem, I'm afraid I can't do it...... Ahem,"
"Don't talk Uncle Green, you'll be fine," Rosen cried slightly, in the past three years of getting along, Rosen had already regarded Green and Shirley as his relatives, and his grief could not be suppressed at all.
"Hehe, poof!" Green grinned, but spurted out another mouthful of blood, but this time his face gradually returned to blood, and Rosen knew that this might be the so-called return to the light!
"Hehe, don't lie to me, I know my body very well," Green's words gradually smoothed out, "Was Shirley captured?" β
Rosen held Green's hand harder, nodded and said, "Uncle Green, don't worry, I will definitely save Sister Shirley." β
Green smiled with relief: "Although I don't know why your strength suddenly became stronger, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that I didn't notice it before, otherwise I could guide you well." But you're still too weak now, promise me not to save Shirley until you're strong enough. β
Lawson could only nod in agreement.
"You should be a little curious about my identity and Shirley's identity, you can go to St. Sorin's Academy in the East, and find a teacher named Lulu, she is my friend, he will tell you everything about me and Shirley, there is a stone brick next to the cabinet at home that can be removed, there are some gold coins and maps, and a letter, you can give the letter to Lulu, let her find a way to help you stay in St. Sorin's Academy to learn combat skills or magic, remember, before you reach the hero realm, don't think about saving Shirley, Shirley's life won't be in danger, and Lulu will tell you the reason, if you can...... I hope you take good care of Shirley in the future. β
"Don't worry, Uncle Green, I will definitely get stronger, I will bring Shirley back, and I will protect her." Rosen wiped away his tears and said solemnly.
Green raised his hand and touched Rosen's face, "We haven't been together for long, but I know you're a nice kid and you're smart, as you can tell from the weird toys you made for Shirley." You will definitely become strong in the future, but remember, until you become strong, you must be patient, as long as you and Shirley can be safe, I can also have peace of mind. β
Rosen nodded with a crying voice: "Yes, it will, I promise you!" Uncle Green. β
Green's face began to deteriorate, his breathing became rapid, and his pupils became cloudy. Rosen knew that Green's life was coming to an end, so he could only hold Green's hand hard, and tears fell on Green's body one by one.
Alice...... I'm here to accompany you......"
After saying this, Green slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
Rosen suppresses the sadness and thoughts of revenge, no matter what Green's true identity is, in this world, he and Shirley are the closest people to Rosen, and Rosen is silently determined to save Shirley and avenge Uncle Green.
In the darkness of the night, Lawson listened quietly, and after making sure that there was no movement, he quietly sneaked out of the woods and sneaked back to the village.
The village was in shambles, full of corpses, the elderly, women and children were all spared, the air around them was still a little hot, Rosen's stomach couldn't help twitching and spasming after seeing such a tragic situation, and then recalling the moment when he had just assassinated Vincent, he only felt a beat in his lower abdomen, which was the result of adrenaline.
After all, Rosen hadn't even killed a chicken before, and this time he was considered a murderer, and he was still a fourth-order powerhouse...... And seeing so many corpses at once, it was not easy to faint.
He endured the discomfort and returned to his house on the edge of the village, where he found the movable stone bricks next to the cabinet, but fortunately the contents were not affected by the fire. Then Lawson quietly walked to the entrance of the village and picked up the hand axe that Lawson had used.
The corpse of the silver powerhouse at the entrance of the village was gone, apparently taken away by his subordinates. Lawson looked back at the Shuiyue Village where he had lived for three years, and after a moment, he left towards the woods.
However, Lawson did not know that in the open space in the middle of the village, a teenager witnessed all of Lawson's actions, the boy was covered in blood but not fatally injured, and was crushed by the wood of the collapsed house, but fortunately escaped.
After seeing Rosen leave, the young man's eyes widened and he said word by word, "Green, Shirley, Rosen...... I will never let you go. After saying this, the young man's eyes darkened and he fainted.
After returning to the forest, Lawson used Grimm's hand axe as a tool to dig a pit at the edge of the woods, moved Uncle Green's body to bury it, and finally carved the words "Uncle Green's Tomb" on a slightly thicker branch by starlight. After the grave was finished, Rosen knelt in front of Green's grave, kowtowed three times, and prayed silently in his heart.
People may suddenly change one day, for whatever reason, whether you want to or not, this statement is valid in any world.
Rosen stood up and looked into the distance, his eyes were full of determination, and his whole person exuded a special temperament, striding into the darkness.
Three days later, on the border of the CIS Sect and on the outskirts of the Red Moon Forest, known as one of the seven forbidden places on the mainland, a young man in tattered clothes was dragging his tired body through with difficulty, and this person was none other than Lawson. The Red Moon Forest is recognized as a habitat for monsters, and it got its name due to the pale red color of the moon seen in the forest at night.
Speaking of which, after Rosen followed the route marked on the map left by Green for half a day, he found that it was still quite far away from the St. Solin Comprehensive College, and in order to speed up the progress, he did not continue to follow the safe route marked on the map, but wanted to cross the Red Moon Forest marked on the map, so that he would have to walk at least a quarter of the distance.
The Red Moon Forest is one of the forbidden places in the Blue Continent, and there is a terrifying holy level monster in the middle of the forest, but although it is a forbidden place, it still attracts a large number of adventurers to try their luck every year, not only because of the wide variety of monsters here, but also because there are some rare medicinal materials, ores and other materials, as the so-called greater risk, the greater the benefit, the body of those rare monsters and various high-grade materials are enough for some adventurers to come to adventure.
Even so, most adventurers only dare to try their luck on the outskirts of the Red Moon Forest, and few dare to venture deeper, after all, the further you advance to the middle of the forest, the higher the level of the magical beasts encountered. But Lawson doesn't know too much about it, and after getting the game system, he has completely gotten rid of his weak body, and he thinks that it shouldn't be a big problem to take a shortcut across the forest or something. No, it didn't take long to enter it and almost became the food of a first-order level 14 Demonic Beast Fanged Wild Boar.
Lawson is only level 9, well, he rose to level 9 not because of how many monsters he killed, but because he discovered the experience that the new area gave away.
The game system is similar to some online games, the map itself is pitch black, but when you arrive at a new place, an area will be lit up, and then you will gain some experience, and along the way, Lawson will light up two areas before reaching level 9. In addition to this, one achievement, Pathfinder, was awarded with 2 achievement points.
Even if it's level 9, it can't be a level 17 Warcraft opponent.,It's not a virtual online game.,Skip the level and fight monsters or something.,The character dies at most some punishments can be resurrected and restarted.γ
Two days of Lawson through the game system in the help option,Basically the game system is almost groped,The level in the game system is basically divided according to the level of the blue continent,Even the map or something is combined with the blue continent design,Just like the beginning of the system instructions,Automatically generate the blue continent database,In it, you can check all kinds of information about the blue continent that has been openedγ There are also a lot of question marks in the help, and the hint is that as you level up, you will gradually unlock them.
As for the upgrade method, what Rosen knows at present is killing, and the higher the level of the target killed, the higher the experience.
Finally, the edge of the forest can be seen not far ahead, Lawson rushed out of the forest in one breath and got rid of the fanged boar, until he ran far away and lay on the ground on the edge of a small stream and gasped for breath, the wound attacked by the fanged boar was also slowly healing, and the life bar finally turned from red to yellow, which is the ability given by the game system, and a certain amount of life can be restored every 5 seconds, but the amount of vitality automatically recovered in battle is half of the usual.
"NND, I knew I wouldn't cut corners." Rosen complained.
At this moment, in the lower right corner of the game interface, a large exclamation mark with a yellow light appeared on the mission options.
"What is this?"
Click on the exclamation mark, and a translucent menu will appear in the center: The task release system is on.
Mission: Test your skills to the test.
Content: Kill 20 fanged boars.
Reward: 6000 XP points, expanding the player's backpack to 20 slots.
Mission: Butcher.
Content: Obtain and submit a complete fanged boar skin.
Reward: 4000 XP, Primary Recovery Potion *3,.
"Damn, there's a mission system?" Rosen came and sat up all at once.
The quest system is no stranger to the vast majority of otaku, and most online games on the planet also have a quest system for some stand-alone games, and there will be good rewards after completion. Lawson guessed whether there would be a task system when he saw the option of a task in the interface before, but he never found it.
The adventurer's backpack does not mean that Lawson should carry it on his back, but you can see it by clicking on the inventory in the system, and as long as the mind moves, you can put the items in your hand or within a certain distance into the inventory, which is very convenient. However, there is one bad thing, only one item can be placed in a grid, such as Uncle Green's bow and arrow and hand axe each occupy a grid, and there are four weapons in his new equipment reward, namely the novice long sword, the novice short knife, the novice wooden staff, and the novice short bow occupy four more squares, and more than two hundred gold coins occupy a grid, plus passing by a small town to buy some food, so there are still three spaces left, and Lawson feels a little insufficient.
Rosen didn't rush to pick up the task, but clicked on the help, found the task-related column, and opened it to check carefully.
It probably means that the game system will randomly release various tasks according to the player's surrounding situation or special circumstances, and there will be many kinds of task rewards, and it is even possible to obtain rare rewards in major stores.
Store?
Only then did Lawson remember that the main interface had an option for the system store. He immediately looked for help from the store.
The system store is divided into krypton gold shop, achievement shop, reputation shop, and event shop.
As the name suggests, the Krypton Gold Store is a "cheat money" system in various games, and Lawson used to be just a high school student and rarely had Krypton gold. The Achievement Shop requires the consumption of Achievement Points to purchase, and currently Lawson's Achievement Points are 5, as for the Prestige Shop and Event Shop have not yet opened.
"Sure enough, it's not much different from the online games on the earth, and even the money fraud system is there, but it's ......" Lawson muttered to himself, clicking on the krypton gold store to check the items, and gasped when he saw a random item.
