Chapter.12 Dig into the ground

I have to say that just like this time, in addition to picking, the serpentine fruit can also be obtained by completing side quests, and the quality is even higher. Some of the potential elements in the early games are easy to spot.

This is the meaning of the Newbie Village, with a simple example to get players used to this game mode. Waiting for the novice village, the tasks after that began to be obscure, and it was also full of all kinds of troublesome restrictions.

The level 4 Xian Zimo easily slaughtered the level 2 digging insects between the farmland. While he was getting used to the attack pattern and rhythm of the stabbing little by little, ten digging worms had already died tragically under his hands.

After making the choice of additional stats for weapons, Bully Fangs was given a new stat:

[Vicious] (Bronze): When attacking a unit with less than 60% health, deal an additional 2 physical damage.

So, he can kill one head with two punches. On the other hand, the experience gained is only a pitiful "1".

However, he didn't come for experience in the first place, and after killing ten digging worms, he could get paid for this mission from the in the middle of the farmland.

Walking slowly towards the center of the farmland, when passing by several peasant boys, he suddenly heard several slogans shouting in the mouths:

"For the copper coins!"

"Copper coins!" Others chimed in.

"For the bread!"

"Bread!" Echo the voice.

"For the jam!"

"Jam?!" Xian Zimo, who was passing by, shouted in a flash, and under the surprised gaze of several NPCs, he hurriedly lowered his head and walked away quickly.

But he did catch useful information, and his instincts told him that it was no accident. In the serpentine fruit mission, there is actually such a thing as jam. It seems that what is needed for this perfect evaluation is serpentine jam.

At this time, the woman standing in the middle of the farmland saw him first: "Hey! Boy, I see the corpses on the ground. You're doing a good job, come and take your own serpentine fruit. ”

"Ma'am," Xian Zimo continued to use the title in the previous prompt, "can you please help me make these serpentine fruits into jam?" ”

The lady obviously called the peasant woman's heart, and after laughing heartily, she asked rhetorically, "Did Abi ask you to come?" I knew it was him from the beginning. ”

There's a play! Xian Zimo's heart jumped, and he really didn't guess wrong.

"I have all kinds of jam at home, including the serpentine jam you want." Speaking of this, the woman looked at the expression on his face, and said, "But recently, because of these ground insects, the food at home has been a little tight, and it is impossible to give you jam for nothing." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Xian Zimo didn't understand, and asked directly.

The peasant woman also stopped inking: "As long as you can get rid of all the insects here, I'll give you the jam." ”

'The quest [The Troubles of the Frye Family] has triggered [Incident: Clear Plan]! ’

"Jam? Or serpentine fruit, you think for yourself. ”

With that, the peasant woman yawned and turned and walked towards the farmhouse.

Aren't these ground worms infinitely fixed to spawn? This requirement is simply difficult for a strong man.

Of course, all [accidents] are optional add-ons to the mission, and even if they are left alone, they will not affect the completion of the mission. But in this way, the jam is out of play.

"Let's take a look around first."

In the end, Xian Zimo was still unwilling to give up. Since such a request has been made, there must be a way to solve these ground worms.

After walking around the farmland, there were no breakthrough discoveries, but there were still interesting things. He found a piece of land, picked up a random branch next to it, and gestured on the ground.

Soon a simple distribution map was drawn, which showed the approximate distribution of ground insects in the farmland.

This ability to memorize instantaneously and draw a strategic map is a compulsory course in Xian Zimo's university. This skill is needed in large-scale land reclamation, strategy maps, team battles, and other operations. In fact, people who are really proficient in this trick don't need to draw simple drawings on the ground like him, everything can be done in their heads.

On the sketch diagram, it can be seen at a glance that these ground worms are not scattered and refreshed irregularly. Differentiate according to their spawn point and intensity, and you can find a "core" location at once.

"Then it seems that this location should be in the ......" Xian Zimo raised his head, looked into the farmland, and finally stopped at the glance, "There!" ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the place where his gaze fell happened to be where the four NPC youths were.

As an otaku, he always habitually minimizes contact with strangers as much as possible. But for this mission, he also took the initiative to walk up to the four peasant youths for the first time, and took the initiative to ask without prompting a conversation: "Do you need help?" ”

Hearing his voice, the four people who were shouting stopped their work to remove insects, and Qi Qi raised his head and glanced at him. After a few moments, one of the strongest young men replied in a simple voice, "No. ”

The answer is very simple, just like the appearance of several people. However, this answer made Xian Zimo more and more sure of the guess in his heart, they must have found something.

As for the reason for hiding it from him, it's simple. From the perspective of the game, the peach next to the names of these young people, which represents favorability, is still black at this time.

Ways to increase your friendship? There should be no other possibility. Xian Zimo swung his fist at the ground worm that had just emerged from the hole on the side, and after two consecutive punches, the ground worm that was about to open its powerful jaw to fight back had already been blown out of its body.

'Kill the Digging Worm and gain 1 experience. ’

' opinion +1'

' opinion +1'

……

Sure enough, after helping the four of them kill the nearby digging bugs, you can gain the friendship of the four youths. It couldn't be easier, it's just a word, brush.

With the refresh rate of the ground worm at this point, it is really not difficult to brush up on favorability. These arthropods, which are only knee-high as humans, are perfectly cooperative, endlessly burrowing out of holes in the ground.

After Xian Zimo killed the 30th digging worm, the honest voice came to his ears again: "Hey, that kid! ”

"Call me?" Xian Zimo asked knowingly, and when he looked back, he could see that the favorability of the four NPCs had already reached the "blue heart".

"You're trying so hard to kill insects for jam, right?"

Indeed it is.

"The jam made by my mother was a favorite of our brothers, and it was our reward for working all night. But if you're willing to cooperate with us, maybe we can share some of you. Qiang Nian Dabu, the farmer at the head, said.

"All I need is a jar of serpentine jam." Xian Zimo said according to the conversation prompt. Immediately afterward, a hint tells him that the unexpected event reward has changed.

However, after hearing his words, the four brothers all nodded in satisfaction and immediately smiled.

' joins temporarily, in a state of follow. ’

' temporarily joined, in a follow state. ’

……

After a series of prompts, Xian Zimo saw that the four young men in front of him had all turned into friends with green names. 'This ...... Is it a team up with NPCs? ’

It was a bit of a surprise, but it also meant that he was indeed on the right track. "Can you tell me what you found now?" He asked.

"Come and see." In an instant, the four young men became enthusiastic and beckoned to him. "Look at this hole, in the past few days, we have found that there are the most ground worms crawling out of this hole."

'A few days...... Really? It was a big discovery, and it took me five minutes to find out. Xian Zimo complained in his heart, and then listened.

"So, we thought, fill in this hole, and there will be no ground worms in the field." Dabb continued.

The strongest of the four, at this time, proudly followed: "I came up with this idea!" ”

Hehe! What a good idea!

"It's just that there are so many of these bugs, and as soon as we fill in some of them, they will make trouble and make us fall short." The sturdy young man Bib continued.

"I'm sorry, my brother talks a little more. Well, let's work together to close all these damn holes. Dabb said energetically.

'What a brother!' Looking at the few cute young men in front of him, Xian Zimo couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you thought about simply opening these holes?" Wouldn't it be better to kill the ground insects inside? ”

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and after being silent for a long time, they said in unison: "Yes! ”

"Man! Your brain is so good! Bibb exclaimed.

Xian Zimo hurriedly waved his hand: "It should be, it should be." ”

After the four teammates awakened, they finally used the shovels in their hands correctly. As for the digging worm crawling out of the hole with a big opening, it was solved by Xian Zimo, level 4 and wearing the best bronze fist stab, even if he faced the bag of four or five digging worms, he would not have any pressure.

In the process of digging underground, Bibu fully showed the characteristics of his chatter, in addition to shouting slogans, there were always some broken words.

"Why do these disgusting bugs, who have never been vegetarians, come to our farmland? Without them, we can eat as much bread as we want, as much jam as we want......"

"Snap"

As the four brothers lowered the shovel again, several people who were already standing in the deep pit suddenly heard a crisp sound under their feet. Before they could react, their bodies were already falling.

-3

After a period of falling, Xian Zimo fell heavily on the solid ground, and a pain on his back lost 3 points of life. And then, a prompt popped up in front of me:

"Discover the [Digging Worm Cave] and get 10 XP as a reward for exploration."
