Chapter 27, the main story mission
After the deadline for job hunting was over, there were no more than 350 players left in the town - most of them found their new identities in the town, and the two eliminated were the two players who were physically exhausted and unable to get up due to the arrival of the beta core area on foot. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info When the news spread among the players, everyone couldn't help but sigh again.
In the next week or so, Lu Pingchuan, Situ Nan, Li Wenjie and others were very comfortable. The organizers did not release any more group missions, but allowed players to explore freely within the main city and gradually adapt to the life and game environment of the town. Each class branch has its own daily quests, and NPCs will also randomly send temporary quests to players who happen to pass by nearby to pick them up...... With the help of the co-investigation quest and the little-known NPC Favorability quest, Lu Pingchuan's upgrade speed has always been in the top five on the bulletin board.
In the daily leveling process of Youzai Youzai, Lu Pingchuan's level quickly broke double digits. During this period, he went back to the police station to try to open the safe, but only found two boxes of lead bullets for flint guns in the cabinet of "LV5", and he could only comfort himself with nothing...... In the easy days of looking for special NPCs every day to brush up on favorability and watching Wenjie's various attempts to hook up with Bing'er, Lu Pingchuan reached level 15 ahead of most players.
On the day of the upgrade, Lu Pingchuan had just completed a favorability task, and was on his way back to the police station to open the safe, when a message suddenly came from the system dial. When I opened the mailbox, an ID that I hadn't seen for a long time jumped in front of me: "The player 'Summer Twilight Fireworks' said to you: 'Level 15? ’”
"yes, just arrived." Since entering the closed beta, Xia Yan's upgrade speed has been like a rocket, not only leading all players for a long time, but even the second place in the ranking list has been thrown off by her - although Lu Pingchuan is curious about this situation, Xia Yan rarely communicates with people, and he is embarrassed to interrogate directly, seeing that the other party suddenly took the initiative to send a message today, Lu Pingchuan naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly stopped and immediately replied to the message.
A few seconds later, the voice communication request from Xia Yan was really delivered, and as soon as Lu Pingchuan connected it, Xia Yan's familiar and neat tone came from opposite the earphone:
"Go to the mayor's hall to pick up the level 15 main story mission, and I'll be waiting for you in the restaurant downstairs of Hotel 3."
The so-called main story missions refer to the main series of missions that are different from the daily tasks. During the training camp, the instructors repeatedly emphasized to players that each generation of the game of "Law of Predation" has a rich world view setting and main story setting. For example, this year's "Scarlet West" is set in the American West in the early 19th century, and the corresponding main story missions will also have a complete story line and closely revolve around the setting. Generally speaking, the experience reward for the main story quest is much higher than that of other quests, and it is the only way for players to level up. And players like Xia Yan, who are always at the top of the upgrade rankings, the main story task is also their first choice for leveling.
"Got it, what else do you need me to ......" The joy of taking the initiative to invite was just overflowing, Lu Pingchuan wanted to say a few more greetings, but the other party had already closed the line. It seems that this girl had a fairly smooth life in the first week of the game, and she has no intention of changing her problem of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Lu Pingchuan sighed, and was just about to turn around and go to the mayor's hall, but he didn't take two steps and estimated the distance between the hall, the police station and Hotel No. 3 in his heart, and decided to go back to the office first and open the safe first.
A level 15 cabinet isn't as shabby as a level 5 cabinet. Inside is a short black stick half an arm's length. Lu Pingchuan opened the system dial to scan the items, and the name and purpose of the equipment quickly popped up inside:
"The Sheriff's Electric Baton - a special weapon for the town sheriff, there are two modes of use to choose from - it can deal about 200 volts of instantaneous electrical damage against creatures; In mechanical mode, a pulse current can be generated, causing a short stop of 5 seconds for the mechanical equipment in contact...... This weapon can be used on all mechanisms and creatures in the area during the closed beta with the same effect, but all actions will be considered attacks, so please use them with caution. ”
"Cause a short timeout of 5 seconds...... Can be used on a device! Holding the baton in his hand and checking it, Lu Pingchuan's mind suddenly began to involuntarily imagine the picture of using it against the rangers, and after being stunned for two seconds, he was so frightened that he shivered. After shaking his head to drive useless thoughts away, Lu Pingchuan stuffed the baton into his backpack, trotted out of the police station, and rushed to the meeting place agreed with Xia Yan.
When I arrived at the restaurant, nearly half an hour had passed since I received Xia Yan's news, Xia Yan was sitting alone in the corner with a cold face, and the water cup in front of her had already bottomed out. Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan had no choice but to quickly step forward with his backpack and greet with a smile:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I encountered some urgent things temporarily, and I was delayed on the way......" "It's okay, have you received the task?" Xia Yan went straight to the topic before he sat down, Lu Pingchuan's movements as he pulled out the chair slowed down, and in the face of Xia Yan's expressionless questioning, he could only smile awkwardly: "Pick it up, what's the matter with me?" ”
"The level 15 main story mission is a series of quests, and it's also a ...... Team tasks. After not wanting to get into the main topic, Xia Yan's expression began to become uncomfortable, "Have you read the content of the task?" ”
"I've seen it, it seems to be an investigative mission." As soon as Xia Yan's words came out, Lu Pingchuan's heart relaxed-it turned out that the task needed to be carried out in a team, Xia Yan couldn't do it alone, and she was embarrassed to say it if she wanted to find someone to form a team. No wonder the tone was so awkward, "The mission description said that a new vein had been discovered on the outskirts of the mining area in the northeast, but the mining investigation was not going well, and the mayor sent us to the person in charge of the mine to find out the situation...... It doesn't sound particularly difficult. ”
"It's really not difficult to find people in the first stage, the problem is later." Probably sensing that Lu Pingchuan saw his embarrassment, Xia Yan's expression was slightly displeased, "After finding the joint NPC at the entrance of the mining area, he will ask us to enter the new underground ore vein to investigate, and that is the problem...... And that's not all, the entire investigation of the ore vein is just a prerequisite for this round of main story tasks. ”
"Does that vein rule that you have to form a team to enter?" Looking at Xia Yan's slightly angry look, Lu Pingchuan felt very funny, and even his tone had some ridicule. Xia Yan's eyebrows raised, and with a slap of the eye knife, she flew straight towards Lu Pingchuan: "Do you want to do it?" Don't want me to find someone else, don't waste everyone's time. ”
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Seeing that Xia Yan was really angry, Lu Pingchuan hurriedly sat upright and restrained his smile. Fortunately, Xia Yan didn't pursue it, lowered her head and continued to explain the details of the mission: "The number of people in the team can range from one to five people, but I have tested it on the spot, and less than three people can't do it at all...... Do any of your teammates have level 15 or more? ”
"No, the profession they choose doesn't take advantage of every day, and they are still struggling at level 13." Lu Pingchuan honestly introduced the situation in his team, and at the same time opened the friend list and glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "But there are some friends who are also level 15, so I'll ask him if he's interested in going to the wilderness with us." ”
The "friend" Lu Pingchuan mentioned was none other than the exotic man Zode who had a drink together a few days ago. His teammates are still around level 13 and 4, and it doesn't seem like they will be able to put together a team anytime soon. Lu Pingchuan sent him a message of inquiry, and it didn't take long for Zode to agree. Lu Pingchuan sent a message in the team channel to explain the situation to Bing'er Wenjie, transferred the title of captain to Wenjie, and then withdrew from the team to reorganize Xia Yan and Zode, led by Xia Yan, and the three of them met at the entrance of the mining area.
