Chapter 10 It's not about yourself

"Oh! Brave adventurer, you really brought back my precious pickaxe! As a token of appreciation, please accept a little bit of meaning! The miner Gao Shun exaggeratedly snatched the pickaxe and threw it on the ground, ignoring the "precious pickaxe" in his own mouth, and said to the speechless epic.

[System] You have completed the subclass quest [Miner's Pickaxe] and gained 50 experience points and 10 copper coins.

【System】You have received a special reward - Subclass [Mining]

A little bit of the introduction: [Mining] Equipped with a pickaxe, you can mine ore in any open vein or abandoned pit.

"Do you have any more tasks?" After handing over the task, Epic immediately asked.

"Adventurer! The village chief seems to have something to explain, so go ahead! Miner Gao Shun's attitude changed immediately and said coldly. Then, while the epic rolled his eyes, he lay on the ground and made a look of death or life.

Since Gao Shun didn't have a task here, of course Epic wouldn't stand stupidly, and immediately turned around and returned to the place where the village chief was.

"My child, you really lived up to my expectations!" The village chief greeted the epic very happily, "Gao Shun has already told me that you are doing a very good job!" ”

"Hey, can NPCs also communicate with each other in private chat?" Epic speechless, "It's only been a little over a minute since I ran over"

"It doesn't matter, my child!" The village chief touched Epic's head with a smile and a gentle expression, "You are an excellent child!" Now, go ahead and help the people in the village! The second year of high school in the blacksmith shop is Gao Shun's uncle, and he seems to be a little troubled, you can see if you can do him a favor! ”

【Troubled Blacksmith Shop Owner】The blacksmith shop owner seems to be in a bit of trouble today, and the village chief is too busy to distract himself, so I asked you to go and see if there is anything you can do to help. Do you accept the assignment?

[Accept! 】

Epic, of course, accepts the quest unconditionally and leaves the clothing store without saying a word. As a result, I was speechless as soon as I ran out, why?

Nima's blacksmith shop is just across the street from the clothing store, and isn't it the blacksmith shop's owner who is beating with a hammer inside? is so close at the distance in front of him, the village chief of this pit dad has the face to say that he is too busy to separate your sister! It's so spoofing!

Either way, the task still has to be done. Epic shook his head and walked quickly into the blacksmith's shop.

【Blacksmith Shop Owner High School Sophomore】Welcome! Yes! Aren't you the kind adventurer who helped my nephew?

【Gods の Poetry】I damn it! How convenient is your communication?

【Blacksmith Shop Owner Sophomore High School】You're just in time! I wonder if you can do me a small favor?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about these unscientific things! After all, it's just a game, what do you need me to do?

【Blacksmith Shop Owner】My firewood is almost burned out, but today I have to make a large number of farm tools, and tomorrow the villagers will wait to use them. Can you help me urge the lumberjack Zheng Guanxi to bring a cart of firewood over quickly?

【Distressed blacksmith shop owner】The firewood in the blacksmith shop is about to burn out, and the second year of high school asks you to urge the lumberjack Zheng Guanxi to send a cart of firewood quickly, do you accept the task?

[Accept! 】

【Blacksmith Shop Owner Sophomore】Hurry up!

In desperation, Epic had no choice but to leave the blacksmith's shop, open the virtual map and turn over the lumberjack's coordinates, and then follow the pointing arrows to move forward. Soon, an NPC was spotted chopping wood in front of a small wooden house on the east side of the village.

【Lumberjack Zheng Guanxi】Adventurer, what's the matter with me?

Hello! The owner of the blacksmith shop has called me to urge you to bring a cart of firewood over!

【Lumberjack Zheng Guanxi】This adventurer, I also want to send it over now, but I don't have the materials I need at home, so if you are willing to help me collect some materials at night, I can find time to go over immediately!

【Gods の Poetry Poetry】Okay! What materials do you need?

【Lumberjack Zheng Guanxi】Go to collect 2 small branches and 3 hay not far from the village, and I'll wait for you to come back!

【Lumberjack's Campfire】The lumberjack is so busy with his work that he doesn't even have time to collect campfire materials for heating his home at night. If you're willing to help, he'll be able to get the job done faster! Do you accept the assignment?

[Accept! 】

Although the quest is tedious, the epic has no choice. He hurried out of the village and began to look for materials.

Twigs and hay can be found everywhere, just dry trees and dull and yellowish dead grass, which are necessary for starting a fire. Without much effort, he broke two twigs, pulled three hays, and returned as fast as he could. On the way back, I also took the time to go to the grocery store and bought 50 copper coins of flour and stored it in my backpack.

【Lumberjack Zheng Guanxi】Adventurer! You brought back the materials I needed, thank you so much! I'll take the firewood to the blacksmith in a moment, and I'll give you the reward first!"

[System] Complete the beginner quest [Lumberjack's Campfire] and gain 50 experience points and 10 copper coins.

[System] You have received a special reward [Campfire Crafting Blueprint]

【System】Your reputation in the border city is +1

Epic didn't hesitate to use the blueprints, and the prestige didn't know what to do, and it seemed that the previous quest had also been obtained, but he completely ignored the hints. Now that I see it again, I can't help but wonder what is the benefit of the prestige of this border city.

[System] You learned this technique by using the [Campfire Crafting Blueprint].

【Campfire】Lighting a campfire at night can dispel beasts and low-level monsters, and can also be used for heating and cooking. Materials: twigs×2, hay × 3

Is there anything else you can help me with?

【Lumberjack Zheng Guanxi】You complete the task at hand first!

When the other party says this, it should mean that the task is there, but you need to finish what you have in hand first. Thinking of this, he hurriedly trotted all the way back to the blacksmith shop.

【Blacksmith Shop Owner Sophomore】Thank you so much! The firewood has been delivered, and I can finally rest assured now!

【Gods の Poetry】How fast is this? I ran as hard as I could, and the lumberjack brought a cart of firewood before me, and I couldn't even see my face

[System] Completed the beginner quest [Troubled Blacksmith Shop Owner] and gained 50 experience points and 10 copper coins.

[System] You have received a special reward [Straw Mat Making Blueprint]

【System】Your reputation in the border city is +1

[Straw mat] The most rudimentary rest item in the wild, it has a certain thermal insulation effect, and the player recovers 2HP and 0.1 stamina per second when lying on the straw mat. Materials: Rope × 1, Hay × 3

【Blacksmith Shop Owner Sophomore】Brave adventurer, I wonder if you would like to do me another small favor? The fact is that I left the hammer on my way home last night by a large rock near the west gate of the village. I can't work without a hammer, but there are too many monsters out there and it's very dangerous, would you like to help me get the hammer back?

Can't work without a hammer? So what's going on with your Lun hammer now? Epic wanted to complain, but he held back and pressed [OK] in the virtual box that popped up.

After a long trot, he finally found the blacksmith's hammer and brought it back to get 50 experience, 10 copper coins, and a special reward - the subclass [Blacksmith].

The next step, of course, is to go to the village chief to take on tasks infinitely, and be a live Lei Feng who will appear wherever there is a need. He had been running around all afternoon, and the village chief seemed to have deliberately arranged for the novice quest to be accompanied by the subclass quest, and every time the epic received a quest, there must be a side quest. The main quest rewards are XP, money, and sub-class skills, while the side quests are also XP and money, but the special rewards are tents, stone campfires, torches, ropes, small traps, and even some simple recipes.

When the sun gradually moved to the west and quietly hid in the mountain col, the epic task plus the experience of nailing rake Elvis Presley to kill monsters during the period was directly upgraded to level 6. At the same time, the sub-professions currently owned in the border cities - miners, blacksmiths, skinners, tailors, fishermen, lumberjacks, cooks, and craftsmen (there are more than 20 sub-professions officially announced at present, not counting hidden professions) have all been learned, and in terms of survival skills, there are torches, campfires, stone campfires, straw mats, tents, fishing rods, small traps, bird traps, fence walls and other manufacturing drawings, and cooking skills have also learned simple skills such as meat buns, grilled fish, and barbecued meat. The novice tasks have been completed, and the next thing the village chief will release is some monster killing tasks that can be repeatedly picked up and specially brushed up on the prestige of the village.

【Hunting the Scarecrow】The polluted scarecrow has a life, and many people in the village are terrified! To reassure the villagers, hunt 10 scarecrows! Rewards: 100 XP, 20 Bronze Coins, +1 Prestige for Border Cities

【Hunting Multi-Hook Cat】Annoying multi-hooked cats often rush into the farms and fields of villagers to wreak havoc, rob and steal. Angry villagers beg you to hunt 10 more cats. Rewards: 100 XP, 20 Bronze Coins, +1 Prestige for Border Cities

【Hunting the Nail Rake Cat】The annoying nail rake cat often rushes into the farms and fields of the villagers to wreak havoc, rob and steal. Angry villagers beg you to hunt 10 nail rake cats. Rewards: 100 XP, 20 Bronze Coins, +1 Prestige for Border Cities

From scarecrows to two mutant cat people, to orcs and forest snowmen, to man-eating flowers and poisonous spiders, all mobs on the map have bounties. Even the skeletons and vampire bats in the Orc Tomb (Skull Cave), and the zombies, maggots, and evil miners in the abandoned mine (Zombie Cave) have uneven rewards.

For this kind of task that can be repeated and received, Epic of course did not hesitate to take it all at once, until the system prompted that the current task exceeded 15 and could not be taken again, and then it was temporarily abandoned.

The twilight in the game is in line with the real world, and the hungry epic is temporarily offline. The other brothers seemed to have eaten it, and the boxes of instant noodles were placed in a mess. After reluctantly cleaning it up, Epic himself soaked a bowl to fill his stomach, and then logged into the game again, ate a few buns to fill his hunger, and then left the village with the nail rake Elvis Presley and began to rush into the wild. Due to the large number of players in the wild, there is no place to stay near the orcs, forest snowmen, and poisonous spiders, so Epic can only temporarily shift the target and go to the more advanced orc tombs (skull caves) to farm skeletons and vampire bats.

During the rush, I kept seeing players yelling, "Damn!!" Obviously not in the middle state, why do you keep losing blood? ”

"Where's G-M? There's a bug in the game! I'm bleeding like crazy, too! ”

"Nima! Can I play this game? I wasn't killed by a monster, so I inexplicably died once! ”

"There's no negative status, and there's no hint of being attacked, it's definitely a bug!"

"Let's go to the forum to find customer service and ask for an explanation!"

"That's right! I want to make the game company compensate!! ”

The extremely noisy scene made Epic look at the hunger column rather helplessly, and these people probably didn't notice this at all, so the game characters all reached the minimum hunger limit. In reality, you need to eat, and the game characters also need to eat, otherwise they will starve to death. I'm afraid only a few people know about this right now, right? It is estimated that by the evening, most players will be infinitely tortured by monsters because there are no torches and bonfires in the wild

Hawkers~~ These have nothing to do with him! As the saying goes, it's not about yourself, hang high, hehe! That's right! Gotta inform those five guys lest they say they didn't warn.
