Chapter 24 The Search for the Grain Collector
It's rare to have such a happy meal, not to say how delicious and expensive the meal is, but after graduation, it's rare to sit with friends and chat and eat so happily, the atmosphere is the most important thing, I don't know if they treat me as a friend, but at this time I take them as a friend, this is not Gao Pan, I just feel that we have a common topic, and we are very happy to chat, so I also have a happy meal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After eating, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Da Sima asked me if I wanted to go on a night tour together, there should be a lot of fun on the weekend, but I refused, of course, not arrogant and unappreciative, but at present, my focus is on the game, and since I agreed to join the alliance where he is located, I feel that the pressure on my body has suddenly increased, although I just entered the game in order to make money, there is also pressure, but it is given to myself, and there is no external pressure, now it is equivalent to doing things for others, and the pressure is different. Da Sima didn't ask for any reason, but he was a little regretful, I saw that the time was not early, so he immediately said goodbye and left first, because it was estimated that he would not be able to take the subway any later.
After returning to the dormitory, I poured myself a glass of water, and then went to boil a pot of boiling water to make tea. I didn't rush to turn on my computer, and I won't be online for the time being anyway.
Lying on the rocking chair on the balcony with a teacup and blowing a cool breeze, my mind was much clearer, I don't know if it was right or wrong to agree to Da Sima's request this time, but I think this is an opportunity, although my purpose is to make money in the game, but to be honest, who doesn't want to make a difference in the game, the real world can't be realized, if you have the opportunity to play the virtual game world, why not try it, this is why so many people like to play games, one is to release mental pressure, the other is to satisfy their desires, For example, the desire for hegemony that cannot be realized in the real world, etc., the virtual game world may help you achieve it, the desire heart is a kind of strange heart, he is different from the comparison, the comparison is purely vanity, and the desire heart is a latent consciousness lurking in the deepest part of the heart, you may want to veto, but your actions will expose this. This is also why there is never a shortage of local tyrants who spend a lot of money in the game, one is to satisfy their vanity and be worshipped, and the other is to satisfy their desire for power.
Of course, I also have this desire, when an opportunity to earn a lot of money and satisfy my desires is in front of me, I feel that I can't miss it, so I didn't hesitate to agree to Da Sima's invitation, although money is a factor, but I feel that I myself am also infected by his ambition.
After drinking tea and taking a shower, the whole person became energetic again, turned on the computer, and then picked up the blindfold and took it to log in directly to the game. It's too much to fall today.,You have to go up to level 20 as quickly as possible to complete reincarnation.,Otherwise, after next week's update, you'll lag behind others too much on the God of War list.,Not only your own growth attributes.,There's also level suppression.,Although the level increase won't improve your own attributes too much.,
But the level is very important, this is what we often call level suppression, when you play competitive games such as dota, you know, in addition to the game to replenish the troops to start the competition, you can also forcibly suppress the opponent's level by suppressing the opponent's soldiers, once the level takes the lead, then the opponent will be very uncomfortable.
Landing on the game appeared directly in the main city, I looked around now, there are a lot of people, I really can't imagine that there will be so many people online on the big weekend, and this is just Yan Guo, I don't know how crowded the two super population countries of Qin and Chu are, I can imagine that this game will be very popular before the start of the service, but I can't imagine that it will be so popular, I heard that the game's special eye mask equipment has sold more than 60 million, it's terrifying, and the population of the seven countries seems to be about 60 million, It seems that there are still people entering the game one after another.,This developer doesn't make a lot of money.,But that's none of my business.,It's also a good thing for me that the game is popular.,As long as it continues to be popular.,I can continue to make money in it.,Otherwise, I'll wait to starve.。
Today's streets are a little different from usual, usually everyone is in a hurry, either to rush to get a job, or to submit a task or go out to do a task, although the street is crowded, but I can't see too many idlers who stop, but today I see a group of people standing together everywhere in the main city, and I don't know what happened, I'm not a person who likes to watch, so I don't plan to go up to join in the excitement, but the most important thing in the Celestial Empire is the onlookers, no matter what it is, whether it has anything to do with themselves, Everyone likes to stretch their necks to join in the fun, I don't know what kind of mentality they have, maybe it's a pleasure to watch other people's misfortunes. There were shouts from time to time in the crowd, and when I listened carefully, it turned out that the guild was recruiting troops and preparing to strengthen itself in the alliance updated next week, which can be regarded as a rainy day.
It was full of shouts, and it was very lively, and I felt like I was not visiting the market.
Quickly pass through the main city, come to the quartermaster located in the west of the main city, look for any tasks worth taking, and plan to rush to the twentieth level of reincarnation tonight, this is more important for me at the moment. Came to the quartermaster's office, took a look at the tasks, many of them are D-level collection tasks, the experience value is not high, the distance is long, it does not meet my current requirements, of course, there are more difficult B-level tasks to do, such as exterminating the rebels, this task is estimated to be not suitable for me now, because since it is a B-level rebel, it is estimated that the rebel leader is at least level 30 or higher, and I think those rebels are at least level 25 or so, which is more difficult for me to be alone, and the degree of completion is not high. Pick and choose, I had to find a C task [to find the missing grain officer]: a grain collector from Jicheng to the relocation has been set off for more than half a month, but there is still no news so far, the current national war is imminent, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, please find the missing grain collector.
It turned out to be a missing person notice, and I quickly found the location of the relocation after taking it, and found that it was quite far from here, but it didn't seem too far from the Silent Village, so I teleported to the Silent Village first. With the teleportation aura of the teleportation array gradually shrinking,I returned to the Silent Village,I was born in this Silent Village when I first entered the game.,I didn't expect it to be back again after a long time.,There are still quite a lot of people in this Silent Village.,It seems that there are still a lot of players stationed in this game.,I think these are either to wait and see the situation in the Seven Kingdoms before entering the game.,Because many people don't want to choose to be beaten when the national war is too weak.,Of course, there are a lot of enthusiastic people who want to reverse the national war with their own strength.,But this should be a minority., So I think there should be more players in the novice villages of Qin and Chu who are still stationed, I really don't know what kind of experience it will be to fight with them when the time comes, if it is a sea of people tactics, then Qin and Chu are bound to compete for hegemony, because the gap between the number of players in the remaining five countries and Qin and Chu is very obvious, look at it, see how the official arrangement is made at the time, I think it should not be a simple way to win by relying on the sea of people, otherwise the victory or defeat of this country has long lost its suspense, and the passion of the national war will be greatly reduced, The gimmick of this game is the passion of the national war, if the national war is over before the passion is fought, it is destined to be popular for a short time.
Open the mini-map, find the change of land, and then run quickly, this change of land is really remote, there are mountain roads everywhere, people are almost out of breath, about an hour and a half walked, and finally saw the change of land, is a very small city, this should not be a city, the city wall is very low, and dilapidated, it feels like it has just been baptized by the war, and has not been rebuilt. What surprised me was that there was no one here, not just the players,
The NPC didn't see it either.,It's very weird.,I stood at the gate of the city and looked around.,Still didn't find anything.,Sui ran to the top of the city wall.,Stand tall.,Look far.,See if you can find anything.,The result still disappointed me.,It feels like an empty city here.,Could it be because the war is coming.,The residents here have all moved away? But it's not right to think about it, if the residents moved away when the war came, why would there be a grain collector who came here to collect grain, this is different, whether there is an enemy invading the army will not know? Could it be that robbers, bandits, or rebels have looted this place? No matter how much it is, go ahead and take a look.
When I entered the city, everything looked dilapidated, and it felt like no one had lived in it for a long time, so I casually entered a house to see what I found, but the house was already covered with cobwebs, obviously no one had been here for a long time, and I looked at the dust on the table, it should have been some time, I don't know what happened here, why there was no one. But the task is to explain that the team of grain collectors has arrived here, and I think it will be possible to search carefully in the vicinity
I made a discovery, so I began to conduct a carpet search from house to house.
Just when I was searching in the house, I vaguely felt that there was movement behind me, and as soon as I turned around, I saw a zombie-like person like a pounce, I retreated and dodged, this Nima really didn't scare me to death, is this a biochemical game or a Warring States game, how can there be a person with such a terrifying face, it looks like he has been hit by a biochemical virus, if it weren't for the clothes on his body telling these ancient people, I would have thought that I was on the wrong set and on the wrong game. I don't even have to open it
You can see its level: [Zombie Dweller], level 12. It's a small character.,I didn't have any skills.,I rushed over to fight him hand-to-hand.,A few knives to solve it.。 The experience is average, and I didn't look at it carefully, but I didn't expect that the residents here were actually lost, what is this. In that case, will those grain collectors also become zombies? I don't know, for the time being, I can only take one step at a time, and look for it first.
And when I was looking from house to house, there were more and more losses around, as if I smelled the breath of my life, and there were constantly zombie residents gradually moving closer to where I was, I basically didn't care much, they were all low-level losses, and the opening of the 'Shadow Hunt' was a piece of instant killing, this is the advantage of blue pretending, and the skill damage brought by high attributes is also greatly improved, but the experience required to upgrade from nineteen to twenty levels is too much, and I don't even know about slaughter
How much of this loss of experience bar has not risen much, seeing that more and more losses are surrounding, it is not wise to want to entangle with them here, retreat first and find the grain collector They are the focus first, so I killed the loss around me in a shadow hunt and then turned on the shadow clone and fled quickly, running directly to the end of the city.
Ran quickly through the center of the city to the end of the city, but still did not find the figure of the grain collector, but there were more and more zombies, so I had to go out of the city for the time being, and I couldn't find anything in the city anyway. After leaving the city, there was a large woods, and I decided to go to the woods to avoid these zombies for the time being, because I found that after a certain distance away from them, these zombies circled around the same place as if they had lost their target, and it seemed that they couldn't see things with their eyes, and they were all perceived by smell,
So it's safe to stay a little further away from them.
After running in the woods for a long time, I saw a wisp of green smoke in front of me, was someone cooking? I thought to myself. I don't know who will cook here in this kind of place, there are a lot of zombies in the city in front, and they didn't run away far away, but they stayed around here, and they were bold enough, so I quickly ran over to see who they were.
When I ran over, I found that they were all soldiers in military uniforms, and I was a little overjoyed, is this the grain officer I was looking for? I walked over, and suddenly another older one spotted me, and immediately became vigilant, and shouted, "Who is it?" ”
I was afraid of misunderstanding, so I immediately clarified: "I was sent by Jicheng to find the missing officer who came to Yidi to collect grain, not a zombie in the city." ”
When I said this, the old man immediately looked happy and said, "Are you really from Jicheng?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, the quartermaster sent me to look for the grain collector who came to the place to collect grain and disappeared and did not return, I don't know what happened here, why the people in the city have become zombies." ”
The old man sighed and said, "Hey, I won't tell you, we are the officers and soldiers who came here to collect grain, but I didn't expect to find that something was wrong when we first came here, the residents here felt weird, we didn't care about it at that time, we just focused on collecting grain, the country is about to fight, and grain and grass are the top priority." Unexpectedly, when we collected the grain and grass and prepared to return to Jicheng, the place suddenly rushed towards us like crazy, and we didn't fight back at first, thinking that they were dissatisfied with the expropriated food
Emotions, I was going to explain to them, but I didn't expect them to rush up and bite people directly, at this time I realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately led the soldiers to fight with knives and guns, rushing out of a bloody road, but many of us were bitten. ”
"Sir, I don't understand this, why are they suddenly like this?" I didn't know what was going on, so I asked.
"At first, I didn't know what was going on, why the inhabitants here suddenly became so violent, and then when we quickly retreated to the depths of the woods, we found that they didn't follow again, but it didn't take long for our bitten soldiers to appear corpses, and the whole person began to become violent, I have seen this kind of plague, this is not a natural disaster, it was deliberately done by someone, because I found that this symptom is corpse poison, I don't know who is so damn to put this poison on the whole city. Some of us have been delayed for too long, and the corpse poison can no longer be treated, so we had to kill them to alleviate their pain, but we still have people bitten in the future, and their situation is very unoptimistic, and our army of more than 100 people is now less than 20 people. ”
I took a look, and there were indeed few people left, there were still five or six people lying on the ground, it seemed that they were people who had been poisoned by corpses, I don't know when they would go berserk, and if they did, they would probably die.
"Then can they still be saved? These haven't gone berserk yet. I asked, pointing to a few people on the ground.
The elder nodded and said, "I know a little about this kind of poison, the national teacher also said that corpse poison is a very vicious poison, it is some wizards who poison the dead and then use witchcraft to take out these poisons, the poisoned person will not soon enter a violent state, but will begin to produce anorexia, listlessness, and then the whole person becomes very emaciated, when the poison is about to attack, the poisoned person is interested in eating, no matter what, as long as they are alive they eat, the poison will erode the eyes, But they can smell living people and animals not far away, and then attack them, once they enter a berserk state, the corpse transformation is officially completed, and it cannot be healed, and the people after the corpse transformation will become very strong, several times greater than usual, so it is difficult to confront them head-on. However, because this poison is too vicious, it has always been regarded as a forbidden technique and cannot be used easily, but I didn't expect that someone would use it here, and the whole city was corpsed, what a vicious person. However, if it has not entered a state of rage, the corpse transformation has not been completed, the national teacher has said before, as long as the corpse transformation has not been officially completed, it can be lifted by the poisoned person by taking the decoction made of soul returning grass and silver dew flowers, but these two herbs grow in dark and damp places guarded by poisonous snakes, and they are not easy to pick. ”
Looking at the slightly painful people on the ground, I don't know if I felt pity or what, and suddenly said, "Sir, are there any of these herbs near here that can be collected?" I can help as much as I can. ”
Hearing me say that I could help, the grain collector, who was still very melancholy just now, suddenly had a look in his eyes and said to me, "Do you really mean to help us?" ”
I nodded.
The grain collector said: "There is indeed this soul grass and silver dew flower near here, that is after leaving this forest, there is a hill, there is a cave there, our district has visited before, the climate there should have the soul grass and silver dew flower where it grows, but there is a giant python at the entrance of the cave, so we have been illegally entering, if you are willing to help us it would be great." ”
It turned out that there was a giant python blocking the way, no wonder, but listening to his tone, I felt that there was a task coming, so I replied decisively: "This is a matter of course, I will do my best." ”
After speaking, there was a dinging sound from the system: C-level task [Collecting Herbs] Please collect fifty Soul Returning Grass and fifty Silver Dew Flowers to trade to the grain collector, and he will give you a rich reward.
I smiled and took the task.
