Chapter 18, Sheriff's Mission
"What's going on? Something went wrong? Lu Pingchuan turned off the phosphor screen and restarted the task request, but the task bar that popped up after scanning the badge was still gray. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThose lists of options marked with various professions are all unselectable states that cannot trigger the task by scanning them one by one!
"......" Lu Pingchuan, who has repeatedly encountered a wall in his job search in reality, did not expect to encounter the same accident in the application in the game. Fortunately, Wen Jie beside him kept dragging the task list, and finally shouted out before Lu Pingchuan broke down: "Brother Lu, look, there is a position that can be selected below!" ”
Lu Pingchuan came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Wen Jie's finger, and at the end of the gray list, two optional mission options appeared. Lu Pingchuan was inspired, pulled the touch screen and slid all the way to the end, and successively found more than a dozen job options that were still in an optional state. Just when he was wondering, Situ Nan's private message suddenly came from the system dial. Lu Pingchuan opened it and looked at it, almost without feeling angry-"The task is completed, how is your progress?" ”
"The branch list is full of non-optional items, how did you get the task?" With a lot of questions, Lu Pingchuan sent Situ Nan such a message of inquiry.
A few seconds later, Situ Nan's voice contact request came back, Lu Pingchuan quickly picked it up, and instead of answering the question, the other side sent a series of questions like a cannon: "Don't be a fool, right, you and Wen Zhuo didn't receive the task in front of the door?" How many are left now? Usually look at you very reliable, why do you lose the chain at a critical time, Lao Lu......"
"Wait, wait, Situ Nan, slow down!" Lu Pingchuan didn't know what to do, but he already understood that he seemed to have missed some more important settings, "What's going on with this mission?" Why is it all gray for just one meal? Isn't the mission time limit 24 hours? ”
"That's the time limit to complete the mission! However, this time the branch task is in order, a total of 350 job tasks, first come, first served, and those who come later can only receive the same branch task after the person selected in front of them gives up the task, otherwise they can only choose other branch classes...... The more you pull down the taskbar, the more difficult it becomes, and these are the rules that the speaker at the meeting just mentioned specifically, haven't you heard? ”
Situ Nan's words were a slap in the face - I have been a good student all my life, but I didn't expect that the first time I was distracted in a big class would lead to such serious consequences! Lu Pingchuan glanced at Li Wenjie, who was obviously confused, and asked unwillingly: "Then Lao Nan, how did you complete the task so quickly?" Is there any other remedy? ”
"Of course I received the branch tasks before eating, otherwise why do you think there would be so many people stuck in the hall after the speech?" Situ Nan seemed to feel the embarrassment on the other side of the microphone, hesitated for a moment, and then changed the conversation, "But it's not impossible now...... In addition to the Mayor NPC, quests can also be claimed on the notice boards at several exits of the Mayor's Hall, where you can see all players' quest rankings and game completion progress. You can ask anyone on the World Channel if there's anyone who wants to give up the quest and wait for it to refresh...... Anyway, there is plenty of time, so don't panic. ”
“…… I see, thank you. Lu Pingchuan silently closed the line, raised his head and met the inquiring eyes of Shangjie above," Lao Nan said...... The branching option for this mission is a first-come, first-served basis, and we're late, so there aren't many positions to choose from. ”
"What then?" Wen Jie, who was already emotionally exposed, jumped up like a frightened rabbit at this time, "Brother, if you don't get the task...... Are we going to pack up and leave tomorrow? ”
"Don't panic, there are still 23 hours before the deadline of the mission, and we still have a chance!" After deciding to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, Lu Pingchuan calmed down, "Lao Nan said that the lower the task list, the more difficult it is, let's flip through it again, maybe someone gave up the task just now, let's pick a slightly simpler one, it's really not good...... Try the hard ones that no one dares to take! Anyway, there is no way to do it! ”
"Okay!" Wen Jie quickly opened the task list, dragged the page with both hands, and suddenly pointed to the task name he saw just now, "Then I'll choose this, 'Coachman Mission'!" ”
"The application has been approved and the assignment has been issued. Mr. Tim, the owner of the carriage dealership, is recruiting a new coachman at the market gate to the west, please find him as soon as possible and complete the mission. The mayor's glass eyes lit up, and the "Coachman Mission" option in the list dimmed. At the same time, a prompt sounded in Lu Pingchuan's earphones: "Beep - your teammate 'How to Train Your Dragon' has successfully applied for the 'Coachman Mission'......"
"That's what you decided?" Lu Pingchuan was a little unacceptable to Li Wenjie's super-fast action.
"yes, didn't you say that the further down the branch, the more difficult it becomes?" Wen Jie put away the system dial, patted the equipment bag, and said to Lu Pingchuan, "This one is the highest one among all the optional tasks, I'll do the task first, goodbye Brother Lu!" ”
"Worship ......" looked at the back of Wenjie running like a rabbit, Lu Pingchuan's hand still stopped in mid-air and maintained the gesture of "worship". Now, he's the only one left in the entire hall who hasn't picked up the branch quest. Lu Pingchuan sighed helplessly, reopened the task list, and brushed it from beginning to end again.
In the past few minutes, there were three or four fewer positions to choose from, and Lu Pingchuan clicked on a few still selectable task descriptions, but he always felt a little unwilling to do so - the remaining tasks with lower difficulty seemed to be either boring or laborious or the effort was not proportional to the reward, which was obviously the disdain of other players. Lu Pingchuan gritted his teeth and simply pulled the list to the end, and at the end of the list, a job title jumped into his eyes, which made his heart move.
"Sheriff Mission"?
Out of all the 350 job sub-tasks, this one is ranked second-to-last, which shows that the difficulty should not be underestimated. But after experiencing the encounter in the supply depot and the crushing of the rangers, Lu Pingchuan's desire for weapons at this time has surpassed that of most players. Recalling the scenes of the westerns I once watched, as the role of a small town sheriff, I have to have a revolver as standard!
Thinking of this, Lu Pingchuan blurted out to the mayor NPC: "I want the 'Sheriff Mission'." ”
"The application has been approved and the assignment has been issued." The mayor's glass eyes lit up again, and he began to state the plot of the mission and the follow-up clues, "Hello, brave young man. The town's original sheriff, Mr. Bruce, was no longer able to do his day job after he fell off his horse and broke his leg, so we are in dire need of an acting sheriff...... You can head to the police station on the north side of town, and the sheriff's secretary, Miss Blanche, will tell you what to do next. ”
