Chapter.37 The Call of the Wild

"Excellent! Very good! Finally a decent guy showed up. The middle-aged man who knocked his feet on the table and leaned on the upholstered armchair clapped his palms and said. He made no secret of his satisfaction with the newcomer in front of him. "Here, let me take a good look at you little one."

"What trials do I need to complete?"

Somewhat unaccustomed to the enthusiasm of the NPC, Xian Zimo smiled awkwardly and took the initiative to ask. To be honest, there is still a big gap between the brown-haired uncle who is nearly forty years old in front of him and the "beast tamer" he imagined.

No matter which way you understand it, animal trainers should be regarded as a profession close to nature, and even somewhat primitive. However, from this elegant and exquisite room, to the uncle in brocade clothes opposite, there is no match for "nature".

Even, from the time he entered the door of the Beast Tamer Guild downstairs to the present, he didn't even see the shadow of half of the beast tamer. If it weren't for the accurate information given on the map, he really wondered if he was in the wrong place.

"No hurry, little one." The middle-aged man picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea, but then twisted his face into a ball, obviously the tea was not quite to his taste.

The man poured the tea into the potted plant next to his seat and said, "My name is Odin, and I will be your mentor in the future, you can try to call me a mentor first." ”

"Mentor."

"Good." Odin nodded in satisfaction, "Aren't you going to tell the mentor your name?" ”

"Silence." Xian Zimo replied honestly again, he was now completely impressed by the intelligence of today's NPCs.

The middle-aged uncle nodded: "Strange names, forget it, there are more strange names than this." Okay, now we know each other. Although you called me a mentor, you want to become a true animal trainer...... Like you said, there are trials. ”

"Okay."

Seeing that the other party agreed simply, the smile on the corner of Odin's mouth became thicker and thicker, and he reached out and opened the drawer, taking out five miserable white skulls from one of them one after another. Then, he spread his hands and made a "please" motion. "Pick one, and they will determine your trial."

It's finally getting a look. After seeing the five beast skulls, Xian Zimo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. "Can I choose all five?" He remembered the main quest in the Newbie Village.

' good altitude +5'

After hearing his question, the tutor opposite burst out laughing. "Boy, you know what? I'm getting more and more fond of you. However, rules are rules, and you can only choose one. This is...... That what, uh, the call of the wild, listen to your inner voice to embark on the path of the animal tamer. ”

"Okay." Xian Zimo nodded, but asked again, "Can you give me the hardest one?" ”

This time, Odin in front of him no longer had a hippie smile, and he frowned: "Boy, didn't you hear what I just said?" Depending on how you feel, pick one. ”

With the face of the NPC opposite, Xian Zimo felt a chill on his back, and the hairs on his body stood up. It was as if he was facing a cliff with his back to him, and as long as the man in front of him gently smacked at him, he would be doomed.

After a few moments, the feeling faded. When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was just a simulation of the horror of the game's helmet. "Uncle, with 97% of the simulation, even the sense of fear can be simulated. ’

But either way, he now had to make a choice between the five beast skulls in front of him. However, this kind of baseless choice is really very tangled, and he is not used to putting everything on "luck".

"Why don't you pet them first?" At this time, Odin, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke.

As the NPC said, Xian Zimo stretched out his hand and put it on the skull. He quickly understood the subtlety of this, and every time he touched a skull, he would see a corresponding beast in the middle of the action.

Since it is a selective task, it is natural to choose the most challenging. The most dangerous thing in the hands of the house I just saw seemed to be the black bear with red eyes.

So he picked up the fourth skull: "Mentor, I make a choice. ”

"Are you sure?" Odin raised an eyebrow at him, "You still have time to think about it." ”

"No, I can handle the black bear." Xian Zi said silently. The other party's reaction can be regarded as a confirmation - he chose the hardest bone.

"Yes, it's good if you have faith." Odin nodded, but then showed a look of surprise again: "Wait a minute! When you touch these bones, can you really see the corresponding scenes? ”

Xian Zimo was a little confused by the NPC's reaction: "Isn't that what you mean?" ”

' good altitude +2'

"Oh, yes, yes, I knew it was going to happen. Hahaha. The brown-haired uncle smiled a little awkwardly, and he grasped the skull with one hand, and with a hard grasp, the skull shattered into pieces, but a small piece of leather map was exposed.

Odin stood up and handed the small piece of the map forward: "Now that you've decided, let's go and bring back the bear's heart to me." Don't keep me waiting, boy, my patience is limited. ”

'Get geographic information, map updates. ’

'Accepted Class Quest [Call of the Wild], Time Remaining: 47:59:57. ’

After taking the small piece of the map, Xian Zimo didn't see any "whether to accept" questions at all, and a task fell on his head. Also, it's a limited-time mission.

There are only two days to go, and it seems that this countdown will not stop after going offline. Then the time really left for Xian Zimo is only 16 hours, no, 15 hours!

Without further delay, he turned around and prepared to leave the room. But I heard the uncle behind him speak again:

"Hey, hey, don't you say goodbye to your mentor when you leave? Young people now. ”

This NPC is really addicted to taking advantage of him, but Xian Zimo didn't have time to worry about him, so he hurriedly said, "Goodbye, mentor." Then he opened the door and hurried out.

Looking at the back of the hurried departure, Odin leaned on the upholstered chair again, and put his feet on the table, the smile on his face did not fade for a long time. "Interesting little guy."

【Call of the Wild】

Difficulty: A- (Crazy)

What: Find your old enemy in the , kill it and bring it back to its heart. Young ancient relics, fate is destined, this is the way you are going, don't look back!

Base Reward: Inauguration of [Beast Tamer]; Prestige 15 (Ancient Capital)

Xian Zimo didn't expect that when he first arrived in the main city, he would receive such a difficult task. If he was used to it, he would spend some time walking around the city and picking up tasks that could be completed before setting off.

However, this time-limited mission made it impossible for him to travel in such a good place. Once you've bought some supplies in the city, you'll have to set off immediately.

When I opened the map, it was dark, and there was a bright spot at this time, which was what I had just seen from the broken skin map - the Explorer's Forbidden Land. Judging from the span on the map, it is probably the distance from Yajiao Village to the red heart moss woodland. It's going to take a lot of time.

Besides, he still doesn't know what the situation is in the middle of the strip. If it's something that's not peaceful, it's troublesome.

The biggest problem is not these, the biggest problem is time. He's not a freelancer right now, and he's in a "miscellaneous group" that the studio could deploy at any time.

So the best-case scenario is to complete the inauguration task within today......

"Yes, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Maybe it's not that hard? Maybe that 'three meals a day' is a good talker? Xian Zimo said so relieved to himself.

It wouldn't be long before he realized how ridiculous his idea was.
