Chapter 9: The Primary Village
The passage of time in Quest for Empires is very different from the real world, and a week passes in the game world in about a day in the real world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
From another point of view, this is also a disguised extension of the life span of human beings.
At night, Lin Ran heard the footsteps of many animals approaching him. From time to time, there was the sound of weeds streaking across some kind of animal and being trampled on.
Fortunately, frightened by the fire, these animals did not dare to approach rashly, and the night was fine.
Lin Ran continued to walk along the creek the next day, leveling up and looking for human tracks.
When it reached the third level, the stream gradually began to gather and grow, and as he walked, Lin Ran suddenly looked up and saw that a small river more than ten meters wide appeared in front of him, and the stream flowed straight into the river.
The most important thing is that on the opposite side of the river, at the end of Lin Ran's sight, several thatched houses can be faintly seen, and under the houses, there are some bald and shirtless strong men entering and exiting.
Lin Ran was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that he had really found the right one this time, there was a thatched house opposite, and shirtless NPCs, it seemed that this should be an NPC village.
Lin Ran walked into the village and saw more clearly, those strong men were carrying a farm tool, cultivating the world around the river.
Walking into the village, Lin Ran was attracted by a clanging sound, and through the large open door frame at the door, Lin Ran saw a big man with muscles and bulging green tendons, who was holding a heavy hammer forging pig iron.
"What kind of person is this, strange eyes."
"I haven't seen it either, and it's certainly not from our village."
When several peasant women saw Lin Ran suddenly breaking into the village, they were a little uneasy and began to talk about it.
A peasant woman got up and ran away, and after a while, a young NPC came after her.
The young NPC is dressed completely different from the appearance of other NPC peasants, with a Confucian crown and a long robe, and a white face, quite like a Confucian student.
"Hello, adventurer, I am the son of the head of this village, and my surname is Jiang." The man named Jiang Yi bowed to Lin Ran and said a little respectfully.
"Adventurer? I wonder what this adventurer means? Lin Ran asked
Jiang Yi said: "We are all people who have lived here for generations in the territory of the Great Han, and we all call you adventurers in a life like yours that suddenly appeared out of thin air. ā
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully, this adventurer seems to be what NPCs call players.
Seeing that Lin Ran understood, Jiang Yi continued: "Every adventurer is fragile when they are first born, and they are easily infested by wild beasts and the wild, and our village can provide shelter and food for adventurers. ā
Lin Ran nodded, it seems that this village is equivalent to a novice village.
"May I ask where this village is located in Yangzhou?" Lin Ran was now anxious to figure out where he was.
"Our village is under the jurisdiction of Yuzhang County."
Yuzhang County? Lin Ran has some understanding of this county, which is now in Guangxi, close to Poyang Lake, and its jurisdiction includes Nanchang City, Chaisang, etc., which is a large county in the southern part of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"I wonder if there's anything the village chief needs my help with?" Figuring out where he was, Lin Ran began to try to get the task from Jiang Yi to do.
It's a pity that Jiang Yi shook his head and said that he didn't have anything for Lin Ran to do.
Lin Ran was a little disappointed and a little unwilling.
"I don't know where the village chief is? Can I meet the village chief? "Since this NPC can't get the task, Lin Ran is ready to try it on other NPCs, and the village chief of the novice village is undoubtedly the easiest to get the task.
"My father went up to the mountain early this morning to pick herbs, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the evening."
Leaving Jiang Yi, Lin Ran tried all the other NPCs again, from the old lady gossiping at the door of the thatched house to the villagers who worked hard at the entrance of the village.
A peasant woman gave Lin Ran a task to find a reed chicken that she had been missing in the past two days. The reward for completing the quest is a copper coin.
Lin Ran did not accept this task, this kind of task of finding lost items is usually the least cost-effective, and the time and energy spent are completely disproportionate to the income. What's more, the reward for this quest is only one copper coin.
But the afternoon's inquiry was not fruitless, and a villager at the entrance of the village provided Lin Ran with a message that the blacksmith in the village might have a task.
"Dangdangdang."
The burly blacksmith put down the hammer, wiped the sweat from his body, picked up a gourd on the table, and took a big sip.
"It's good wine. Unfortunately, it's perfect if you have a little appetizer. ā
"If you get me some game to eat today, I'll give you a reward."
Lin Ran was overjoyed, after working hard for a long time, he finally got a task.
"Dingdong, you've received your quest to hunt for game. Before dusk, get game for the king blacksmith, the higher the quality of the game, the richer the rewards. ā
Lin Ran is now level five, and his attack power is as high as ten points, so he can try to hunt larger prey.
After searching outside the village for a while, Lin Ran found a wild deer that was quite sturdy.
Adult wild deer
Level 8
Attack: 5
Defense: 7
Lin Ran estimated the strength of both the enemy and us, and he didn't hesitate to go up, and the long sharp branches pierced straight into the body of the wild deer.
Lin Ran didn't know how a donkey kicked people, because he had never seen a donkey kick people, but he knew it now, it turned out that the deer would kick people when he was in a hurry.
The branch was very brittle, and it had just attacked the deer's body, and it was so strong that it broke all at once, and one was held by Lin Ran in his hand, and the other was inserted into the deer's body.
Lin Ran threw away the small branch in his hand and wanted to pull out the slightly longer branch on the deer.
The wild deer hissed and kicked on Lin Ran's body, with great force, Lin Ran staggered backwards and took several steps back, almost falling to the ground, and the sharp branches on the deer's body were also pulled out.
"-3" A bright red damage value rose from Lin Ran's head.
The wild deer was very ferocious, and was suddenly injured, but did not flee in a panic, but turned around and attacked Lin Ran.
The wild animals in this game seem to be very aggressive.
The long and sharp antlers stabbed over, and if Lin Ran was stabbed, it was estimated that there would be a few blood holes on his body.
Lin Ran quickly dodged the wild deer's attack, avoided the wild deer's head and feet, and attacked it from the side.

With a wail, the wild deer slowly fell to the ground.
Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and began to cut pieces of meat from the deer, which was the game that the king blacksmith coveted.
Lin Ran didn't have a knife, so he could only find a stone with a sharp edge from the surroundings.
"Ding-dong, you learned the Splitting Skill (Beginner, 1/100)"
