Chapter 4 The Adventurer Who Can't Run

After a full meal and wine, the cost of settling the bill with the fat boss was less than a gold coin, and it was obvious that the price of goods in this world was not high.

Of course, it is also possible that you have chosen the cheapest hotel in the relationship......

"The gold coins here are estimated to be enough for us to eat for a month, and it seems that this thief profession is still somewhat useful." Song Zheng was quite satisfied with the prices in this Nanhai town.

Since there is no pressure in life, the two of them can observe and understand this new world very well.

After a few days of wandering around the town of Nanhai, the two of them ...... the world Or at least I have a preliminary understanding of this Nanhai town.

Southsea is an important commercial center, not only as a transit point between the kingdom of Lordaeron and Fort Riptide, but also the closest port to Kuratis in Lordaeron, which has by far the most powerful ocean-going fleet in Azeroth, and almost all of its cargo to Lordaeron and Dalaran is transited through Southseatown.

It is precisely because it is located in a traffic artery and is extremely prosperous, Nanhai Town is almost full of people from all over the world, and the cultural environment is also very complicated, which is why the arrival of Cheng Yuan and Song Zheng did not cause the slightest surprise...... Even trolls can be seen here!

Song Zheng is currently in contact with the so-called 'adventurer', which should be called ...... if it is called on earth Unemployed vagrants, the only difference is that most of them have a skill, and do not want to work as coolies on the docks, and their main way of survival is to earn money by accepting some mercenary tasks, so they are also somewhat similar to mercenaries.

However, there is no systematic mercenary association here, and adventurers who want to accept mercenary quests generally gather around the tavern, while those who need to post quests will go to the tavern to post quests.

Since there are no rules, everything seems very chaotic, and many times these adventurers will get into arguments or fights because they are rushing to take on some nice tasks, and this is often the time when the tavern is at its busiest.

There is no one to dissuade here, and the publishers of the quests are more than happy to see this kind of fighting happen...... This kind of fight because of the battle for the mission is just the right time to filter out the right adventurers.

Song Zheng had seen two groups of adventurers fight for a mission.

The task was simple, just escorting a caravan from Southsea Town to Talenmere.

In Song Zheng's memory, Talunmir was not far north of Nanhai Town, but the information obtained from others showed that Talenmir was more than 500 kilometers away from Nanhai Town, and he had to pass through the uninhabited wilderness and a dangerous mountain forest on the way, in which there were not only a large number of fierce beasts, but there was even a huge snow monster that could easily tear an adult apart!

It is precisely because of the terrible wilderness that almost every caravan that enters Nanhai Town will hire a lot of adventurers to act as guards, which also leads to the fact that although the death rate of adventurers in Nanhai Town is very high, the number of adventurers is still increasing every year due to the attraction of missions.

"I asked the two dwarven adventurers, they should be Brute Hammer Dwarves, but they also know some things about Ironforge Fort, according to them, it will take at least two years to walk from Nanhai Town to Ironforge Fort, if you take the sea route will be faster, but it will take more than a year, and the sea route is far more dangerous than the land!" Cheng Yuan said with some frustration.

You must know that two years is enough time to go from China to Europe, and God knows how big this real version of Azeroth is!

"This real world seems to be much more vast than in the game, but it is also much more dangerous......" Song Zheng secretly thought in his heart, this real world is far more dangerous than the game world in his memory, the area controlled by humans seems to be quite limited, most of the eastern kingdom is actually still a wilderness infested with all kinds of wild beasts, and humans are just scattered around some towns.

At present, with his own and Cheng Yuan's strength, it is estimated that it will be difficult to leave Nanhai Town, let alone go to the Iron Fort to find someone.

As for what will become an emperor or a savior after crossing over, I can't even think about it.

"It seems that only by staying in this Nanhai Town for the time being, maybe we will be able to have strong abilities after our career is upgraded." Cheng Yuan sighed.

"It can only be like this......" Song Zheng could only pin his hopes on the thief profession that seemed a little unreliable.

……

With the income from the 'stealing' skill, the two bought a house in the eastern district of Nanhai Town, where the poor gathered, and officially became residents of Nanhai Town.

And with the use of that 'stealing' skill many times, Song Zheng became more and more familiar with the initial ability given by this system, and he was already handy to use it.

The only pity is that this 'stealing' skill can't be used casually, but has a long cooldown.

"You can only steal once a day...... This thief seems to be a little aggrieved. Song Zheng sneered in his heart, and every time he stole something, it was not necessarily a wallet, and in the process of trying, he stole the other party's fruits, including a strange banana.

Cheng Yuan's seemingly useless 'charge' skill also had a surprising effect.

In the game, the stun of the second after the charge is of little use and can cause very little damage to the target, but in the real world, you can easily use that second to cut off the target's head after the charge!

The two of them once relied on this 'charge' skill to kill a wolf in the woods outside the city very easily.

In addition to the excitement, the two also found that killing the beast can indeed increase the experience points on the character's interface, but the experience of killing a wolf is only 10 experience points after the two are evenly divided, and they need 8000 experience to upgrade from level 1 to level 2!

Obviously, in the judgment of the system, the wild wolf should belong to a very low-level monster.

What's even more depressing is that this 'charge' skill is the same as Song Zheng's own 'stealing' skill, and it can only be used once a day!

"Look at this, it means that if you want to upgrade to a level and gain more than 8,000 experience, wouldn't that kill more than 800 wolves......" Song Zheng and Cheng Yuan couldn't help but look at each other.

If you want to rely on that 'charge' skill to kill the wolf safely and easily, you need to wait for it to cool down more than 800 times, which will take more than two years......

Cheng Yuan didn't want to wait for two years in Nanhai Town, not to mention that even if he was successfully upgraded after two years, it would only be promoted from level 1 to level 2, and it was estimated that the improvement would be extremely limited.

A few days later, Cheng Yuan made a new decision.

"I'm going to join a group of adventurers who will be responsible for guarding caravans between Southsea Town and Talenmere."

"Join the ranks of the adventurers...... To be a mercenary? Song Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised by this.

"Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time, this should be the best way for us to gain experience, it's too difficult for the two of us to level up quickly, follow those adventurers maybe you can smash the road and kill some large beasts, then you should get more experience, and you can also learn more about this world." Cheng Yuan has obviously thought about this issue for a long time.

"But...... That would be dangerous, I've already asked the priests in the city, they don't know how to resurrect, and if they die in battle, they're really dead. Song Zheng was obviously hesitant about this.

Although he also knew that if he wanted to survive in this world, he would inevitably need to fight, but in his opinion, it was better to level up first and then go on an adventure, after all, in this real world, he definitely couldn't run corpses anymore.

"There is some truth in what you said, maybe it is indeed dangerous to go out on an adventure at the first level......" Cheng Yuan couldn't help but hesitate a little after listening to Song Zheng's words.
