Chapter.4 Black Mud Forest

Before starting a new task, Xian Zimo first took some time and pulled out the virtual menu to check the "leaderboard" that had been released. For the time being, only the Pioneer List (Rank), Dragon List (Combat Power), Gold and Silver List (Gold), Armament List (Equipment), and Star List (Prestige) have been opened, and more lists will be introduced as the game progresses.

Always keep an eye on the leaderboard information, which is also a point that those teachers have often emphasized in the past. However, since each leaderboard has a threshold, even if there are 100 places on each leaderboard, there is still no player on the list at the beginning of the server. Wait a minute... On the armed list, how come there is already a guy on the list?

Damn, what a lucky one. However, the guy is also quite low-key, and did not reveal any information, whether it is equipment or his own. People like this, as long as their names are revealed, will be bombarded with "friends" for almost all day.

Some will want to buy gear, and some will be interested in the first player to make the list. That's right, being on the list is a symbol of power, and although this way to judge a player's strength is a bit old-fashioned and rigid, it is true, it is the most intuitive. Even professional gamers are inevitably vulgar.

The Pro Gamer Certificate, which Xian Zimo is working on, is a ready-made example, and the requirement to upgrade the certificate is mostly a fuss on the game's leaderboards. The requirements for upgrading from primary to intermediate are not high, and they are not low. As far as "Emperor Century" is concerned, as long as you are on any three lists and do not fall off the list for three months, you can qualify.

"I've always been behind, and I guess I've been on the list for a while."

Closing the list, he then turned on the task option. The two main quests are listed in front of you, and then click on them in turn:

Main Quest.1:

【Give me your teeth】

Difficulty: F+ (Rookie)

Description: Go to the southwest of the village, kill the there, and bring back 6 (0/6) of their tusks to and don't be perfunctory.

These people who like to wallow in the mud may threaten our villagers and crops, and they may have a virus in their foul-smelling sludge...... Well, I'll admit, I'm just disgusted with them and need those white flowers. - Bitos

Base Reward: 20 XP; 10 copper coins

(If you complete the main quest .2, you will receive additional rewards.) )

Main Quest.2:

【Delicious serpentine fruit】

Difficulty: F+ (Rookie)

Contents: Pick 10 (0/10) decent serpentine fruits from a small >field of wild < serpentine fruit outside the village's planting area, and .

If it weren't for those damn snakes, I'd pitch up my tent and camp there, and spend a week eating all those cute little fruits, or propping myself up until I vomited. - Bitos

Base Reward: 30 XP; 20 copper coins;

(If you complete the main quest .1, you will receive additional rewards.) )

"Sure enough, it's more pleasing to pick some fruit for that gluttonous guy."

Comparing the basic rewards of the two tasks, the obvious gap made Xian Zi complain. The mission locations of both missions can be found from the maps that have been unfolded, and he is secretly relieved that he doesn't like to run the map.

Glancing at the locations of the two mission locations on the map, Xian Zimo immediately made a decision and strode towards the outside of the village. He chose to complete the first task first, collecting boar teeth.

It stands to reason that the two tasks should be in no particular order, but he has put some thought into it here.

Most of the 500 players in this novice village are loyal fans of "Emperor Century", and there may even be old fritters in the closed beta. They are definitely prepared for the main quest options, and there must be a lot of smart people who will choose the second preferred option. Then there must be fewer people at the mission location of the Black Mud Forest at this time, and it will be completed faster, and by the time I go back to collect the serpentine fruit, a large number of people and horses should have almost gone.

"Reasonable, so reasonable. Isn't that what the teacher has been emphasizing all the time - pay attention to details! ”

After boasting about himself, Xian Zi silently triumphantly walked from the safe path to the black mud forest in the mission. Soon, he arrived at his destination with the guidance of the road signs.

"The ...... of the Horse"

Looking at the lively scene in front of him on the grass and bushes, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and scolding secretly.

Almost all the 500 people in the novice village have gathered here, and all of them are red-eyed, and they can grab their heads and break the blood flow for any wild monster on the side of the road. There were a few players standing around a clamshorn worm, and in order to make sure they made it to the last cut, no one did anything, just standing there and letting the blooded clutches attack them......

In fact, it doesn't have to be like this, a few people have that kung fu to grab monsters, it's better to team up a few people to defend a refresh point together. While teaming up with strangers will result in a significant reduction in the total XP gained after the kill, and the amount of XP assigned to each person will be pitifully less, the increased efficiency will more than make up for the loss of experience. Of course, if it's a really credible friend, in order to level up as soon as possible, you can take turns killing wild monsters without teaming up.

At this time, Xian Zimo remembered another sentence from the teacher: "There are not a few stupid people in this world, but there are also few smart people." ”

When he came before, he didn't see a few people along the way, and he thought his judgment was right. Unexpectedly, the others just moved a few beats faster than him. I didn't think I spent time on that option, and I rushed to grab the monster.

If it comes, it will be safe. Now turning around and going to the serpentine fruit field is really too much of an impact on efficiency. I had to fight monsters together in this warm big collective.

So, he started trying to form a team. While shouting, pulling people.

"Dude, form a team to fight monsters together?"

"Brother, believe me, it's really not as fast as us teaming up together."

"Hey ......"

After three unsuccessful attempts, Xian Zimo immediately stopped his stupid behavior. After all, these guys insist on stealing monsters because they are selfish, they don't care about the efficiency of any game, they just make them feel satisfied when they grab monsters and have exclusive experiences, and they are happy to do it. Then there is no need to waste time with these laymen.

He pulls out the newbie whiteboard weapon he has carried with him since he entered the game: the Rusty Sword. Even if you want to plunge into the torrent of enthusiasm, you must first look at the weapons at hand.

【Rusty Sword】

"Don't listen to their nonsense, it's a good sword. Just tap it when you use it, and it may break. ”

Quality: Poor

Attack: 5~10

Durability: 10/10

Required Level: None

Well, what the system sends, how good can you expect it to be?

'Monster grabbing? Can't rob you yet? Xian Zimo exhaled his virtual mouse and keyboard, and controlled the action to make a tentative attack out of thin air, remembering the rhythm of the attack.

Indeed, such virtual games are highly realistic, and everything is infinitely close to reality. Even the control of the body can be controlled by the brain, and it will not feel too far from reality, and it can even highly simulate the sense of touch and pain.

But for an Internet addict teenager like Xian Zimo, there is nothing more precise and skillful than a mouse and keyboard, and he has never felt how strong his physical ability to harmonize is. What's more, after all, a game is a game, simulation is a simulation, the human brain controls the body in the game, and it will never be as handy as controlling one's own body.

Reaction time, that is, delay. Especially under some complex movements, it is even more obvious. This is definitely unbearable for a guy like Xian Zimo, so in the battle, he still chooses a virtual mouse and keyboard.

"Find a good spot."

He looked up and looked around. However, this look made him suddenly realize that these players who gathered here to farm monsters, all they had been slaughtering were the nearby "bucktooth hares", "sheephorn worms" and "thieves and rats". I didn't see the "long-haired boar" in the mission at all.

I opened the map and confirmed that it was indeed a black mud forest. No, to be exact, it's just the periphery of a black mud forest.

'Aren't these guys tasked with being different from mine at all?' ’

Xian Zimo couldn't help but guess in his heart. But it doesn't make sense, different missions, but the locations are so close to each other......

Anyway, it's always good that these guys stay here. In this way, he doesn't need to do low-level things like gathering crowds to rob monsters, no one makes trouble, and the efficiency is much higher all of a sudden.

So, he walked through the player's dense grass and bushes towards the woods in front of him. In the process, he found that as long as he didn't rob the monster, the attitude of these players around him was actually quite friendly, and when he walked into the forest, these guys took the initiative to get out of the way, and even watched him leave. And he would politely nod to these friendly people in response.

When he was far away, the players behind him would start laughing at the back of the lone figure.

"Wow! Is he really going to kill wild boars in the woods now? At first glance, it's a rookie, how can this level be infected with wild boars? ”

"There will be another fool who will be bled out by the tusks of a wild boar, haha, you guys are so bad, no one reminded him."

"Why don't you be a good person? I bet that the rookie won't last more than 5 minutes after he enters the woods. ”

"One minute."

Just then, a new batch of hornworms crawled out of the bushes. A few people who were talking and laughing just now turned into rivals again in an instant.
