Chapter III Tasks
In fact, Lao Tan is not surnamed Tan, but surnamed "Lao" and the name "Tan".
blames his parents for being too hasty when they changed his name, one of them has the surname Lao and the other has the surname Tan, and they directly add the surnames of the two together as their son's name.
Everyone who knew him called him by his first name, and those who didn't know him thought his surname was Tan. In addition, there is also a nickname that makes Lao Tan depressed, called Lao Tan Sauerkraut Beef Noodles......
Lao Tan is not a native of this world, it turns out that he is a player from the earth like Xiao Yi, as for how he came to this world, it has to start from three months ago.
It is said that Lao Tan was still an ordinary migrant worker at that time, going to and from work every day, and when he received his salary at the end of the month, he went to drink with a group of pig friends and dog friends, chatted about life, and occasionally lived a very fulfilling life as a bubble girl.
It's just that no one expected that an online game would change the trajectory of Lao Tan's life.
When he was in college, Lao Tan was a professional gamer and had his own guilds in major online games, and because of his fame, he suddenly received an invitation from the operator of "Xianxia OL" to participate in the elite beta of this game.
Originally, after coming out to work, Lao Tan had "adopted his heart" and did not contact online games again, but at the instigation of his friends, coupled with the overwhelming advertisements of this game, what cross-era products, what 100% virtual reality, and all kinds of tempting advertising words made Lao Tan can't help but be moved.
So one day when he came home from work, Lao Tan installed the game with the disc sent by the game company, and after completing the login operation, he came here inexplicably.
At the beginning, he thought that he had crossed over, just like Xiao Yi, but in fact it was not, he found that everyone here would have a name on their heads, like an NPC in the game, and they would also issue quests, and the whole world was simply an online game.
Lao Tan was at a loss at first, he didn't know what kind of state he belonged to, and he didn't know how to return to the original world.
Fortunately, Tan occupies the body of a guy with the same name and surname as Xiao Yat, and obtains his memories, which Tan later learned that this method is called "Arrival", and he came to this world as a gamer, using the body and memories of aborigines (NPCs) as an access point.
Later, after a period of confusion, Lao Tan began to accept reality, before he was still the original Tan of this world, but after people, he was a player from the earth.
Lao Tan, who has read the game information, clearly knows that the background of the game "Xianxia OL" is the vast and mysterious world of cultivating immortals, and the plane they are in is called the Yanluo Human Realm, which is called the secular in the eyes of ordinary people, and the Immortal Cultivation World in the eyes of monks.
The place where Lao Tan is now is a place called Longyuan Continent on the North Styx Sea of the Yanluo Human Realm, of course, the world that Lao Tan knows is limited to the eighty-eight countries of Kyushu, from south to north, from west to east to form the Eastern Earth God Domain, covering an unimaginably wide area.
Now the place where Lao Tan is is only a small country called "Shaoyang Kingdom" at the southern end of Wolong Prefecture in the Kyushu of the Divine Domain, and the Xiao family is one of the thousands of immortal cultivators in Shaoyang Kingdom.
When he first learned about the territory of this world, Lao Tan was simply shocked, according to the information he had obtained in the past three months, a single Shaoyang country was the size of the real world Huaxia, and it was only one of the small countries in Wolong Prefecture, not to mention the entire Dongtu Divine Domain and the world outside the Divine Domain.
Such a huge world did make Lao Tan feel at a loss at first, until later, after living here for a while, he found that this world is so real, whether it is grass and trees or those so-called "NPCs", they are simply living people except for strange names on their heads.
So Lao Tan began to try to accept the world, and by the way, he wondered how to survive in this world.
Fortunately, Lao Tan, as a player, has his own game system, through which Lao Tan can obtain some strange abilities like online games.
For example, summoning game spirits.
Lao Tan's game elf is named Gluttony, whose name is one of the four murders in Chinese legends, and its ability is the same as that of a real Glutton, which can devour everything.
Lao Tan only became a real player after summoning gluttony for the first time, and he only started his game life after he activated the exercises in the game.
It turned out that Lao Tan in this world was just an ordinary cook and handyman of the Xiao family, but since Lao Tan, a player, took over, he quickly became a monk.
In the world of "Xianxia OL", the prerequisite for becoming a monk is naturally the spiritual root, Xiao Yi will become the waste of the Xiao family precisely because he does not have a spiritual root, and a subordinate like Lao Tan also has no spiritual root.
However, since he had the help of the game elf of Gluttony, Lao Tan has gained its ability to obtain a small amount of aura by ingesting food on a regular basis.
Since Lao Tan turned out to be the chef of the Xiao family, this ability was simply equivalent to tailoring it to him, and through the aura absorbed from the food at each meal, he quickly became a monk at the first level of qi refining.
The process was easier than that of ordinary monks with spiritual roots.
It's just that Lao Tan, who hasn't been happy for long, soon found that it was difficult to continue to absorb enough aura just by eating three meals a day, and later he used his identity as a chef to secretly hide some food.
When you're lucky, you can even get some spiritual vegetables specially for the children of the Xiao family, these spiritual vegetables contain a lot more spiritual energy units than ordinary food, and Lao Tan will get more spiritual energy after eating them.
In the next two months, Lao Tan, who relied on a small amount of spiritual vegetables, successfully advanced to the second layer of qi refining, but at this time, he found that ordinary food could no longer provide him with spiritual energy, and even rare foods such as spiritual vegetables provided spiritual energy were correspondingly reduced.
It seems that after his cultivation is high, it is impossible for Lao Tan, who is in the second layer of Qi refining, to absorb spiritual energy from ordinary food.
Realizing the problem, Tan began to think of other ways until he accidentally triggered a mission half a month ago to kill a player.
At that time, Lao Tan's first reaction when he saw the task was that there were other players in this world besides him, and the task also told him very intimately where there would be players.
In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Lao Tan started his own plan, and only later did the killing of Xiao Yat happen.
For the first killing, to Lao Tan's surprise, Xiao Yi's death did not cause him the slightest burden in his heart, except for the gluttony when he ate Xiao Yi's corpse slightly disgusted, he felt very peaceful.
Lao Tan didn't know if it was because of the three months that made his will tough, or if he himself was a cold-blooded person, anyway, as soon as Xiao Yi died, he naturally went to dig up his corpse, without any psychological burden at all.
"Probably because I subconsciously thought it was just a game......
On the surface, Lao Tan comforted himself so much, but in fact, he didn't treat this world as a game for a long time, because he knew very well that once he died in this world, he would really die, and there was absolutely no possibility of resurrection like a game.
The reason why Lao Tan is so clear is because a month ago, he almost died at the hands of someone. Thinking of that person, a trace of killing intent flashed in Lao Tan's eyes at this time.
System: Trigger the normal quest "Snow Shame" to kill Huang Daozi who once humiliated you and reclaim the magic weapon he stole from you. Reward: 50 spirit stones.
Seeing the information popping up in front of him, the corners of Lao Tan's mouth rose slightly, this is the second task he received, the task is not mandatory, but if you complete the task, you can generally get a lot of benefits.
Moreover, Huang Daozi is the person who humiliated him a month ago, Lao Tan's character is revenge, he has long secretly vowed to teach this guy a good lesson, it seems that the opportunity has come.
