Chapter.16 Preparing for battle

Main Hidden Quests:

【The Last Dragon Egg】

Difficulty: S (Nightmare)

Contents: Go to the > of < Longmian Valley and collect all the [Dragon Bone Blocks] (1/??) ), fulfill the prophecy, and find the lost dragon egg. You will be the one to awaken the dragons!

"That's probably the last dragon egg in the world, and you'll have to find him. But I have the feeling that some people don't want the dragon eggs to be found...... In addition to this, there may be some other potential troubles......" - Bitos

Special Restrictions: During the mission, the death of the character will be regarded as a mission failure, and the [Dragon Bone Block] in the possession will definitely be dropped.

Base Reward: ???

"Damn, it's big enough. It's actually an S-class mission, and it's really not a little guarded. ”

Xian Zimo looked at the information on the task panel and said. Think about the tasks you were exposed to before, it was either G-class or F-class, and now suddenly there is an S-class. The span before and after is really a bit big.

Clicked on the in the quest again, and its location was marked with a red cross on the map. However, on his map, except for the village of Tooth and the Black Mud Forest, it was lit up, and beyond that, it was pitch black.

Also, the game has just begun, and who will explore the map so far away from the village?

At such an early point in time, receiving an S-class mission is really a mixed blessing. Indeed, the rewards of the quest will definitely be quite generous, and basically, the dragon egg is gone.

But again, this task definitely comes with great difficulty. This is a hidden quest in the main story, if you fail halfway and go back to do the ordinary main quest, then in the progress of the game, you will have a lot of lag behind compared to ordinary players.

Thinking of this, Xian Zimo stretched out the index finger of his right hand and blocked the line after "special restrictions". "There were no failures."

Originally, according to his character, in the face of such a task, he would definitely have to be fully prepared before leaving. At this time, level 4 is really ridiculously low in the face of an S-class mission.

However, with such a high difficulty of the task, it is now almost certain that this task involves the "Treasure of the Novice Village" mentioned in that post. That means it's likely that there were other players who received the task at the same time.

Therefore, he can't delay any longer, who knows if someone will have already set off at this time. "Let's go up the level by the way, buy some supplies or something, and it's time to go." He muttered to himself.

It's already 12 noon, and all the shops that closed last night have already reopened. Buying some supplies is only a matter of minutes, as long as you have enough money.

Soon Xian Zimo found the only pharmacy in Yajiao Village. Although it is the only one, the business of the small shop seems to be quite average.

"Good afternoon, little boy. Medicines and prices are on the shelves, so you can choose what you want. ”

As soon as he walked into the store, he heard a female voice in the store say to him. At the sound of the voice, there was a blonde woman about twenty-seven or eighteen years old sitting behind the wooden counter, who always looked down at the book in her hand, and seemed to not care at all about the business that had been delivered to her door.

Xian Zimo was naturally not bored enough to find a sense of existence in an NPC, and he quickly walked to the medicine shelf on the side to find the consumables he needed.

There were many more types of medicines on the shelves than he had imagined, but apart from the [Life Potion] and [Endurance Mixture], the Novice Village should not need other medicines.

【Life Potion (Inferior)】

medicament

Effect: Restores 40 HP within 20s after drinking, and halves the recovery rate during battle.

Cooldown time: 5min (Drinking before the cooldown period ends will cause [Drug Resistance] to appear, which will halve the effect.) οΌ‰

【Endurance Mixture (Inferior)】

medicament

Effect: Within 10 seconds after drinking, restore 10 stamina points.

Cooling time: 5min

Fortunately, their prices are quite reasonable, with the unit price of [Life Potion] and [Endurance Mixture] both being 5 copper coins, and a dozen only requiring 50 copper coins. It may be considered a luxury for other players, but for Xian Zimo, who has 13 silver and 40 copper in his money bag, it is simply a painless little money.

"Boss, how much do you have to do with these?"

He placed all the items he had selected on the counter, a total of 5 dozen [Life Potion] and 3 dozen [Endurance Mixture]. If it weren't for the fact that this mission was full of unknowns, he would never have purchased so many inferior potions.

"First of all, I'm not that old, and secondly, I don't want to run this shop at all. So, don't call me a hostess! The blonde woman looked up and said with some displeasure.

' Opinion -2'

"I'm sorry."

Seeing the favorability prompt, Xian Zimo remembered the humanized setting of the NPC, but even if he apologized according to the prompt, it didn't make the other party's favorability pick up. Forget it, I don't expect to get any discounts anyway.

At this time, the female pharmacist spoke again: "You have bought more of these medicines than I have sold in the past month." Are you going to travel far? ”

As an otaku, Xian Zimo instinctively didn't want to take care of such a stubble, but the prompt options had already popped up in front of him:

1. Be silent

2. Answer truthfully

"Yes, to be away for a while." He replied. At this time, the hint is a little more concise than the specific dialogue at the beginning, and I believe that it won't be long before the hint will not appear at all, and it all depends on the player's free play.

"Where to go?" The female pharmacist asked with interest. She is more concerned about this issue than about collecting money.

After making the same choice again, Xian Zimo replied, "Longmian Valley." ”

"You're so lucky, little boy." The pharmacist said with the slightest envy on her face, and then she patted her head and asked a little excitedly, "You can't be the guy Abi said, the guy who killed the Fanged Boar King, right?" By the way, what's your name? ”

"Silence." For the first time, Xian Zimo was glad that he had changed his ID. However, the pharmacist will have such a reaction, so it must be that the prestige plays a role.

"Yes, yes, that's you, weird name! Sorry, I mean...... Hello, I'm the female pharmacist here, just call me Claire. ”

' +10 Opinion

For a while, her real name was added to the name on the female NPC's head, and her favorability changed from "black heart" to "white heart". However, Xian Zimo just wanted to settle the bill quickly, and he asked again: "How much are these potions?" ”

"Don't worry, capable little boy," the female pharmacist smiled and knelt on the counter, holding her chin with one hand and stretching out her finger to hook it: "I have a business I want to talk to you about, are you interested?" ”

Hearing the pharmacist's words, Xian Zimo took a step closer to the counter, and he understood that he should have triggered the plot again. However, he did not like what the female pharmacist called him. "What business?"

"When you pass through the Red Heart Moss Woodland on your way to Longmian Valley, help me pick a few plants, and I'll give you a reasonable reward."

'Trigger the side quest [Claire's Request], do you accept it?' ’

"I'm sorry, I can't help you, I'm in a hurry."

Xian Zi vetoed the other party's proposal without thinking. If it's a different type of task, it may be possible, but the collection task is too time-consuming. And what he needs most at this time is time.

' opinion +2'

"Then don't be in a hurry to refuse. I'll give you all the potions you want for free. All I ask is that you take this album with you, and if you come across the plants on it, you will help me pick them back. If in the end, you don't encounter any of them, then I'm unlucky. What do you think? ”

'Trigger the side quest [Claire's Request], do you accept it?' ’

The prompt reappears. Having said that, Xian Zimo has no reason to refuse anymore. "Well, you don't regret it."

' +5 Opinion

The pharmacist smiled lightly, stroked his hair and said, "I have always been very accurate in seeing people, and I believe you will not let me regret it." ”

"Well, goodbye."

Xian Zimo was about to put away the atlas and potions and leave, but was stopped by the other party:

"Wait!"

"Repentant?"

Claire shook her head with a smile and asked rhetorically, "The ones I put on the shelves are always defective." 5 dozen Life Potions and 3 dozen Endurance Blends, right? You wait, I'll go get you some decent ones. ”

Seeing that the pharmacist turned around and opened the door and walked into the inner room, Xian Zi couldn't help muttering, "I really should have moved that shelf just now." ”

'Obtain [Life Potion (Normal)Γ—60'

'Obtain [Stamina Blend (Normal)Γ—36'

'Obtain [Antidote (Normal)Γ—12'

"I didn't ask for an antidote." Xian Zimo glanced at the antidote that had been stuffed into his hand.

"Take it, throw it away if you don't need it." Looking at the books on the table, Claire smiled slightly.

"Thank you, goodbye."

Finally able to end the conversation, Xian Zimo put away his things, said goodbye stiffly, and left the drug store quickly.

Once you've bought the most important medicines, all you need to do is buy some food. Due to the setting of hunger level, such a long journey must carry some food, otherwise you will really starve to death.

Foods such as bread and jerky are cheaper than medicines. It took 80 copper coins to fill the two compartments of the backpack. 40 servings of [barbecue jerky], even if it does not come off the assembly line for two consecutive days, it is enough.

"Alright, that's all you can prepare."

was about to set off, but Xian Zimo saw the blacksmith shop opposite, and couldn't help but think of the weapons in the backpack to receive the voucher. Although I know that it is impossible to get a better weapon than the [Bully Fang] in my hand, I don't take it for nothing anyway.

As soon as he approached the blacksmith's shop, a rough voice sounded in front of him: "Young man, do you want to buy weapons?" ”

"I want to see what this voucher can be exchanged for." As he spoke, Xian Zimo took out the voucher and handed it to the bearded man who was still pulling the bellows.

After taking care of the voucher, the blacksmith paused his work: "Oh, it's this voucher again." You can choose whichever you want, Abi has already paid the bill. ”

"Then I'll see for myself." Xian Zi nodded silently.

"Don't look at it," the blacksmith interrupted, "I can't have a better weapon here than your fist." Well, I can fix your stab for you, and then give you a collection dagger, so you don't have to lose. What do you think? ”

"Okay."

Xian Zimo agreed without saying a word. If it weren't for the blacksmith reminding him that he had forgotten that the fist spurs he was equipped with were different from the swords, and they could not be used to collect. Collect daggers, which is also a must-have tool.

"Abi, after giving up his dream of being a dragon, he still looks good to be the village chief! Recently, the young people in the village have become active, and this is long overdue! While repairing his fist, the bearded blacksmith said as he spoke.

'yes, he put it down and let me pick it up. Listening to the blacksmith's words, Xian Zi thought to himself.

But unlike the village chief Bitos, he will definitely find the dragon egg!
