Chapter.11 Rumors of Dragons
Back in the game, Sin still appears in front of the lame postman Dieter's hut. Perhaps because of his prestige, the postman in the hut would smile when he saw him through the window.
Now that you're back in the village, let's hand in the completed tasks first, and you can also free up space for two compartments in the backpack. After having a plan, Xian Zimo took a step, and the old postman in front of him saw that he was leaving, but he signaled goodbye, nodded to him, and then closed the window.
Is this the difference that comes with gaining prestige? He couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Just like in reality, in the game, the time is already around half past ten at night. So the village was quiet, there were fewer people on the road, and many shops were closed, just like the mail hut just now. As a result, many things cannot be done at night.
This is indeed a deliberate setting by the game designers, in addition to making the game more realistic, but also to echo the requirements of "healthy games". Many players will indeed give up staying up late because of this.
Fortunately, Xian Zimo didn't need to do this this time, and when he came to the village chief's hut, the village chief Abi was sitting under an old tree looking up at the stars.
"Chief Bitos, I'm back."
"Oh! It's you, young man! You must have good news for me! You know? You're more pleasing to the eye than the stars tonight. The young village chief replied with a pretended old look.
Xian Zimo still followed the prompt and replied, "You should indeed take a look at what I brought you." As he spoke, he took out the [Fanged Boar Fangs (Delicate)].
"Oh, well, it's a boar's tooth! It's still exquisite, not bad. Although he said this, after seeing that the other party took out a snake fruit, the village chief Abi was obviously not as happy as before.
At this time, Xian Zimo saw another hint:
'1.Hand over the [Boar King Fangs (Complete)]'
He didn't hesitate, since there was a prompt to do it.
"This is the boar king's teeth? You...... You killed the Boar King? Oh my god, this is crazy! ”
The village chief, who was still a little lost just now, was swept away with a face full of shock after seeing the other party's new pair of huge fangs. He clenched his fangs and didn't let go: "You are more shrewd and capable than I thought!" Oh my God, my village has produced a true warrior! ”
Looking at the village chief's excited appearance, Xian Zimo only regarded it as the NPC's daily chatter, and in order not to waste time again, he couldn't help but ask: "Then, the village chief, I have completed the task you gave me, right?" ”
"Of course! Of course! Abi reluctantly put the fangs aside and took out his money bag: "These delicate fangs of yours and the fangs of the Boar King are too precious, so you can get a good reward." ”
'[Give Me Your Teeth] Finished, Judged: Perfect'
'Reward: 100 XP'
'Reward: 5 credits. ’
'Reward: 10 Bronze Coins. ’
'Quest Reward: 5 Fame (Tooth Horn Village)'
' opinion +30'
Sure enough, the task reached a perfect evaluation, and the increase in favorability made the village chief's head next to a blue heart peach.
After receiving the silver and copper coins from the village chief's hand, Xian Zimo also nodded with satisfaction: "Village chief, then I'll go and pick snake pattern fruit for you now." "Once you're used to it, you don't need an option prompt for such a conversation.
He originally thought that after talking about the serpentine fruit, the greedy village chief would let him go without saying a word, and even used a urging tone. Unexpectedly, there was a voice in my ears: "Wait." ”
"Anything else? Chief. ”
"Child, you ...... Do you believe in dragons? Abiy hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Dragons?" If it weren't for the background introduction of the game that he had cursoryly read before, Xian Zimo could only follow the prompts, "Do you mean those wurms pulling carts?" ”
The reason why "Emperor Century" has such a name is also because of the background of its world, the gods have fallen, and the dragon clan that once dominated the continent with the gods has also disappeared, leaving only some unformed subspecies of dragons. Therefore, this is the century when other races compete for the "name of the emperor".
"How can those who are enslaved as domestic animals be called dragons? I'm talking about the dragons who dominate one side! When talking about dragons, the village chief Abi suddenly became serious.
"What kind of dragon? Isn't it long gone? This sentence was said according to the prompt option.
"No, the dragons won't disappear! I'm sure they still exist! Abi's face became solemn, and then he shook his head: "Also, for people like you, they are indeed extinct. What am I telling you all this for? Pick your serpentine fruit and hopefully taste it before dawn. ”
The moody village chief put aside a word, and sat down under the tree again, looking up at the starry sky as before.
"Chief Bitos? Chief? No matter what Xian Zimo called, the other party ignored him.
'This rider, I obviously said it according to the prompt!' What a pit! Helpless, he could only turn around and leave. But just now he obviously triggered some hidden plot, and the reason is obviously that he overfulfilled the task this time. Even, this episode is one of the bonus contents.
Dragon! That's a plot about dragons! God knows what kind of reward will be given!
You must know that in "Emperor Century", in addition to the ethereal and abstract image of gods, the dragon is the most powerful symbol. Therefore, the combat power ranking will be called the "dragon ranking".
But the plot seems to have been abruptly interrupted because of his inappropriate answers. It's really heart-wrenching to think about it, but it's also possible that this time the plot could only go on here.
In any case, if you want to continue to dig up the news of that plot, you must have a good relationship with this village chief. At the moment, it seems that the best way to do this is to pick serpentine fruits.
In the darkness of the night, Xian Zimo hurried to the location of the "serpentine fruit field" indicated on the map. Judging from the content of the previous mission, this task is by no means as simple as collecting fruit, and it is not difficult to think of the trouble that may be encountered when picking it from the name of the fruit.
However, this is only a task that is taken at level 1. Now that he is level 4, he naturally won't worry about the difficulty of the task, and the only thing he needs to ponder is how to achieve the perfect mission evaluation this time.
After entering the planting area in Yajiao Village, we headed east. In the past, you could meet a few passing players in the village, but when you get here, you can be considered completely gone.
It's not that it's too late, it's not even eleven o'clock yet. The reason why no player came here was simply the choice of the main quest at the beginning, yes, hundreds of people were still in the black mud woods.
"Collecting fruit does sound low." Xian Zi muttered to himself.
"Hello, young man, excuse me, can you help me?"
The sudden sound on the side of the quiet road startled Xian Zimo, and he realized that there was still a person sitting in the grass on the side of the dirt road. The way the other party greeted him was not very pleasant, but fortunately, his words were very interesting.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Oh, that's great if you're willing to help! There are a lot of annoying ground worms in my field, and if you can help us get rid of some of them, we'll give you some reward in addition to money. ”
Hearing the old peasant's words, Xian Zimo's mind reacted instantly: "Can the reward be some serpentine fruits?" ”
"Is it just those cheap wild fruits? There are so many people who like to eat wild fruits today. Oh, I mean, of course! I guarantee you'll get the freshest serpentine fruit. The farmer replied.
'Trigger the side quest [The Troubles of the Frye Family], do you accept it?' ’
Having said that, Xian Zimo no longer understands the beauty of this task, then he can be regarded as playing all these years of games in vain. And it is not difficult to hear from the other party's words that he is not the first player to take on this task. It seems that not everyone has chosen the boar mission.
"It's done." He didn't hesitate to take it.
"My field is in that direction, and you'll see it after walking a while. At this time, there must still be people in the field to drive away ground worms. When he agreed, the peasant pointed to the west and said.
"Won't you show me the way?" Xian Zimo asked subconsciously.
The farmer in the grass explained: "It's not hard to find there. I'm sorry, I've got to grab some bait for tomorrow's fishing. ”
This kind of explains why this guy threw himself in the grass so quietly. Xian Zimo nodded and walked in the direction pointed out by the other party.
Side Quests:
【The Frye Family's Troubles】
Difficulty: F+ (Rookie)
Description: Help Frye clean up 10 (0/10) bugs in his field, and he will give some fresh farm produce in return.
"Why is it my farmland? I don't know how many copper coins I've lost! —Frye
Base bonus: 20 XP; 10 pieces 【Serpentine Fruit (Fresh)】
After seeing the basic reward of the task, Xian Zimo completely relieved his mind and walked in the direction pointed by the farmer.
Sure enough, as he said, there are indeed people in the farmland who are getting rid of insects. After walking some distance, Xian Zimo saw the farmland that was being ravaged by ground insects.
However, there are no other players in the field at this point, and only a few NPCs are repeatedly killing the insects that have spawned out of the holes. That's natural, three hours have passed since the game, and this task is relatively unpopular, who can't farm 10 digging bugs?
Now it seems that this is the quest field for players to obtain fresh serpentine fruits, and the ground will constantly spawn digging worms. And those NPC peasant youths may not be able to complete the task of eradicating the digging insects for a while.
