Chapter 11: The Village
The two changes of the sun and moon also mean that the chosen players on Earth have spent two days in the Continent of the Gods.
Now, it's the third day.
Perhaps for the vast majority of players, the first two days were like a nightmare.
Luckily, there are also villages that allow players to have a safe place.
A circular area with a diameter of 50 meters enclosed by a fence with only five earthen houses can also be called a "village......
The area enclosed by the fence may be called a safe zone, in short, so far, no monster dares to cross this area.
Further beyond is the endless wilderness, often infested with the most scummy spiky rats and bad dogs in the Continent of the Gods.
Players who have already adapted to it, suppressing the fear in their hearts, picking up the simple wooden sticks made of tree trunks cut down in the bushes, and fighting these low-level monsters outside the village, most of them are in groups of three or five, although they can't talk about any cooperation with each other, and the efficiency is not high, but the security has improved a lot.
Of course, there are also people who still have confusion on their faces and sit in the village area in a trance.
Perhaps it was just noon, when the sun made a rare break through the clouds, casting some light on the wilderness.
Many people who were fighting outside the village found two ......
Savages.
There was no place on their bodies that was not covered with mud and dust, and their clothes were a little tattered, but despite this, the pupils of the two were full of determination.
Needless to say, these two people finally took advantage of the sun passing through the clouds to identify the direction and came to Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan in the village.
The two ignored the curious eyes around them and walked straight towards the village.
An Ruoxuan couldn't help but lower her head, obviously not used to these eyes like looking at gorillas in a zoo,
And Chu Nan was full of doubts in his heart:
"Why do they all look so neat? It shouldn't be, why are so many people in the village, look at it like this, isn't it a while and a half, am I too weak? Or was An Ruoxuan and I thrown into the wilderness by the system? ”
Chu Nan no longer had the heart to complain about the simplicity of this village, and walked in quickly with An Ruoxuan, Chu Nan recognized at a glance the middle-aged man with a beard sitting on a wooden chair in front of the first earthen house in the fence.
Although Chu Nan's strength has returned to the first order, his perception has not degraded, and a person like a middle-aged man with a beard who can't see the depth of Chu Nan at all is at least higher than the level of the beta player, that is, at least the fifth order!
There is no doubt that this is an NPC.
Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan walked in front of the middle-aged man with cheeks, but the middle-aged man was the first to speak:
"Oh my God, two boys, did you fall into the mud puddle? I didn't say in the meeting yesterday that you should learn to analyze your own abilities and not do things that are beyond your strength, because there are dangers everywhere in the wilderness. ”
"Yesterday? Meeting? ”
Chu Nan accurately grasped the key words in the middle-aged man's speech and asked, "What did you mean by having a meeting yesterday?" ”
The middle-aged man with cheeks: "Didn't you listen carefully to the meeting yesterday?" ”
Chu Nan: 'I think you're mistaken, my companion and I are here now. ’
"Only now?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up directly from the chair, looked at the two of them like staring at monsters, and hugged his head with both hands exaggeratedly:
"Did you come here alive after you came into the wilderness? Oh my God, the goddess of light is above, how can this ......"
Not only the middle-aged man, but even the players who stopped around looked at the two of them with a look of surprise.
Chu Nan: "Uncle, please talk about the point." Yesterday we had a meeting, and we came here alive, what do you mean by that? ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Chu Nan deeply, and said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Robertson, I am the NPC in your mouth, and I will take the position of the head of Village 8, and I will talk about the others later, let's solve your doubts first, in short, there are a total of five hundred players who came to the wilderness area where Village 8 is located, except for the two of you, no player has survived the first day." ”
Chu Nan frowned: "What did you say?" ”
The middle-aged man, who was also the village chief Robertson, replied: "The gods have arranged for your arrival, and divided a total of 20,000 villages, and each village will be responsible for the area of 500 players, as of yesterday noon, a total of 498 players have been resurrected here. ”
Chu Nan: "You mean, the village is actually the player's respawn point?" ”
If it weren't for the explanation of the village chief Robertson, Chu Nan's worldview might have been subverted, he and An Ruoxuan went through all the dangers to reach the village, but found that there were so many people who arrived before them, if it wasn't for Chu Nan not seeing any familiar faces, he would almost think that the system had dropped all the beta players here.
After all, without any water, food, weapons and equipment, it is not easy to survive in the wilderness, not to mention that the next day, the wilderness is blowing strong winds and sand......
In this way, Chu Nan's heart is balanced.
An Ruoxuan said rarely: "Village Chief, according to what you said, isn't it true that these players have already been deducted from their death privileges once?" ”
Village Chief Robertson: "This is also one of the key points I called the players to a meeting yesterday, you have a seven-day novice period, during the novice period, death will not deduct the death authority, and after seven days, players whose strength has reached the middle of the first order will get a three-day recuperation period, these three days, you will be sent back to the original place by the gods, and players who have not reached the middle of the first order will lose this opportunity, and, during the recuperation period, players who stay in the Continent of the Gods will be locked in the experience bar, and will not be unsealed again until the end of the recuperation period." ”
"Can you get back to Earth so soon?"
The words of the village chief Robertson made An Ruoxuan's eyes radiate joy.
Chu Nan was even calmer and said, "Is there anything important at the meeting?" ”
Chief Robertson: "Yes, for example, the wilderness is dangerous, you ...... Okay, you don't need this reminder, I need to explain to you the situation in the village, I am an NPC in the village, you can buy skill books, equipment, medicine and water sources here, there are five earthen houses in the village, four of them are empty, you can buy them and live in them yourself, the price is one gold coin. ”
Chu Nan: "So, the village doesn't even provide a place to live?" ”
Village Chief Robertson: "Well, resources are limited, first come, first served, of course, if you don't have enough money, you can only find a random place in the village to rest on the spot, but I also have straw mats and quilts here, which are very cheap, only one silver coin per set." ”
Village Chief Robertson's words drew boos from the surrounding players.
Cheap? Just kidding, a spiked rat can explode a copper coin, and it's not a 100% explosion rate.
For these inexperienced players who have just entered the Continent of the Gods, the spiked rat is simply a boss-level existence, and the high strength growth attribute can barely fight, and most players choose to hunt in teams, which is very inefficient, and also reduces the explosion rate.
If you're unlucky enough to run into an elite-level Warcraft, it's even worse, and you can't beat it and you can't run.
So it's the third day now, and the richest person in Village 8 doesn't have five silver coins.
You also have to save money to buy equipment and skill books, and the price is simply a cheat.
Therefore, the village chief Robertson was once called a "profiteer" by players!
The surrounding players were still scolding Robertson in their hearts, but they saw a large handful of small things shining in Chu Nan's hand.
That's the light reflected off the copper coins!
"One hundred copper coins, I will buy an earthen house, you count."
Robertson: "Oh my God, the goddess of light......"
Chu Nan: "Okay, don't talk about it, what is the price of water, drinking water?" ”
Village Chief Robertson was not angry after being interrupted, and said with a smile: "As a reward for successfully reaching the village, you can each get five hundred liters of water. ”
Village Chief Robertson turned his head and returned to his house, while Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan both obtained a piece of system information:
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for completing the quest 'Go to the Village', which rewards 100 XP and 1 gold coin. ”
Chu Nan used these 100 experience points to step into the early stage 4 of the first order!
And An Ruoxuan should have reached the early stage 3 of the first order!
The hierarchy mechanism of the Continent of the Gods is divided in great detail.
From one to nine levels, each stage is divided into four stages: early, middle, late, and peak, and each stage is 5 levels.
In other words, if Chu Nan wants to enter the middle of the first order, he has to upgrade from the early level 5 of the first order again, so as to become the first level of the middle stage of the first order, and so on.
And the reason why Chu Nan's level increased so quickly was that the 100 points of experience given by the task only accounted for a small part, and more was the experience he had with An Ruoxuan in the wilderness for two and a half days.
There is Chu Nan, an internal beta player, killing ordinary spiked rats, exaggerating, just like playing, killing elite-level spiky rats, after having "Fire Bomb Technique", with Chu Nan's combat experience, he can also be harmless.
Not only the "Fire Bomb Technique", but when they killed the fifth elite-level spike rat, they also broke out a local "Trapping Technique", which can desert the land in an area, which has a great restrictive effect.
After An Ruoxuan learned, she also relied on this magic to cooperate with Chu Nan to slaughter a group of spiky rats led by three elite spike rats, with a total of eleven spikes.
That was also the biggest danger that the two encountered, Chu Nan's injuries were not light, and fortunately, An Ruoxuan's soft water technique could be treated.
So far, the duo have hunted 176 common spikes and 24 elite spikes.
Under normal circumstances, 50% of the experience gained from killing a monster will go to the killer, and the other 50% will be distributed according to all participants.
As long as it is the early stage of the first order, the experience gained by the player from hunting ordinary spiked rats is 1, and the experience of elite spiky rats is 10, and in the case of Chu Nan's intentional humility, An Ruoxuan also got a lot of kills, so with 100 points of mission experience, he stepped into the early level 3 of the first order.
(PS: 1st level 1 level upgrade requires 100 experience, level 2 110, level 3 120, level 4 130, level 5 140.) )
Fortunately, Chu Nan didn't want to show off, you must know that the current No. 8 village, excluding them, the highest level is only the first order early stage 2.
And so many kills also brought a "huge sum" of money to Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan, a total of 245 copper coins.
Counting the total of two gold coins given by the system (it cost one gold coin to buy a house), the two have become the number one local tyrant in Village 8!
At this moment, the village chief Robertson came out, carrying in his hands two large wooden barrels that looked like Western wine storage, and said:
"Seeing you like this, I guess I'm also tired, I'll be a free coolie to help you carry water, let's go, see which earthen house you choose."
In the surprised expressions of the other players, the two "wild men" followed Robertson and walked away......
