004 A breeder who was sent home by a pet
"Uh, hello." Zhou Han was subconsciously regarded as a player by the words of the white-bearded little old man, but it is indeed easy to forget the identity of the NPC under the distinct character of the intelligent brain simulation. After all, this is no longer the PC era, NPCs will only stand in a fixed position and say fixed lines of ornamentation.
"What a fart, do you think I'm okay like this?" The little old man pointed to his dirty mage robe, blew his beard and glared. obviously looked "angry", but he was afraid that the sound would attract those poisonous spiders, so he could only put on a "fierce" appearance, but he lowered his voice as if he was whispering, which made people feel funny when they saw it.
Zhou Han had a black line: "Then what can I do to help you?" ”
"You're a breeder?"
Zhou Han nodded.
"That's just right, release your contract beast quickly." The little old man looked impatient.
Zhou Han said helplessly: "I don't have a pet yet." ”
"What !!?" The little old man's voice raised a few decibels, and he suddenly realized that there were poisonous spiders wandering not far away, so he quickly lowered his voice: "You are a breeder who doesn't have a pet!?" What a waste! ”
"You're a breeder too?"
The little old man patted his chest confidently and said proudly: "It's like a fake!" ”
"What about your pet?"
"Uh...... This ......" The little old man's hand patting his chest seemed to have been pressed and stopped in mid-air, as if he had swallowed a few rat droppings raw, and the expression on his face was as funny as it was, as embarrassing as it was.
Zhou Han spread his hands: "Don't you have no pets?" ”
"I ...... I...... I! The little old man, "I, I", didn't make a "me" out of the way.
"Don't me, me, me, everyone is in sympathy, if you need help, just say it!"
The little old man said cautiously: "Your pet is also home?" ”
"Huh!?"
The little old man coughed embarrassedly: "Ahem, I mean, you didn't take your pet out either?" ”
"Well, I haven't caught it yet."
"What a waste...... "The little old man repeated.
Zhou Han said: "I want to catch it, but in addition to the waste wood slime on the Oran grassland, there is only the grassland shadow wolf, you see my current strength, even if I want to catch a grassland shadow wolf, then I have to have a life." ”
"Waste is waste." The little old man was disdainful.
"Enough, I'll bear with you being an NPC......"
The little old man crossed his waist: "How is it?" You can't beat me, even if Lao Tzu is blocked now...... Ahem, ahem...... Even if you don't use magic now, you can be killed with a staff! Don't forget, attacking the aborigines is a crime, if you are not afraid of divine punishment, you beat me, beat me! ”
Zhou Han was stunned and looked at the "NPC" in front of him, and his brain was obviously in a state of panic......
This is an NPC?
This is played by an employee of Xingchen International, right?
"Forget it, I don't care about you in general." The little old man sighed and continued, "But I do need your help now......"
"Ding...... The mysterious old man needs your help. Task Properties: Hidden. Acceptable? ”
While the little old man was talking, Zhou Han heard the system prompt, and when he heard the word "hidden" in his ear, his heart beat violently twice - the hidden task was triggered!
"I'd love to help you."
Zhou Han chose to accept it without hesitation. Although he is a casual player, he also knows that the probability of hidden quests triggering is extremely low, and most of them are unique, but the rewards are definitely far more generous than ordinary quests. And in the novice stage, the probability of triggering a hidden task is even more minimal, and the overwhelming advertisements of "Xingchen" have used the hidden task that will never be repeated as a gimmick to hype, but Zhou Han is now so "easily" triggering a hidden task, and not far away, he also encountered a very rare blue monster in the early stage.
Is this the rhythm that encourages me to buy lottery tickets?
The little old man glanced at Zhou Han up and down, shook his head and said, "It's okay if there is a contract beast...... But you can't help me for the time being, so I'll give you 7 days to catch a contract beast first, and then come here to find me, and then I'll tell you what I need you to do. ”
"Ding...... Accept the hidden quest 'Keeper 1 Lost by a Pet'. ”
Task Properties: Hidden.
Requirements: Capture a rare contract beast or above within 7 days.
Duration: 7 days.
Complete all questline rewards: Random rewards for the mysterious old man.
Task failed: Deletes all related tasks in the task line.
"Boy, remember! I don't have much time, you'd better get back quickly, I'm going to have to stay here and guard it, and I can't let anyone else steal the spider eggs...... Also, don't bring garbage pets over, they are also cannon fodder, at least rare, preferably a contract beast above the rare level, otherwise ......"
Zhou Han didn't have the heart to pay attention to the little old man's advice at the moment, not because he was happy to receive the hidden task, but because he saw the requirements of the hidden task, and the whole person was "blindfolded".
Capture a Rare Contract Beast or higher?
Or 7 days!?
"Make no mistake! The grassland is full of waste slimes, even the steppe shadow wolf is just an ordinary level white name monster, where can I find a rare contract beast or more? "Fortunately, there are no tables around, otherwise Zhou Han would have flipped the table.
"How do I know this, you go and find it!"
“……”
"What? The world is full of boss-level monsters roaming, and you can't catch one? ”
"You'd better find one for me!"
The little old man raised his hand and pointed: "That's not!" ”
Zhou Han looked in the direction he pointed-
A spider with a blue name crawls around on the platform.
"Then you go up and top it! I'll grab the remaining 10% of life! Zhou Han had a heroic expression on his face.
The little old man hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not good, there is no way to get the spider king egg without it!" ”
"Then you find someone else, I can't do this task!" Zhou Han thought that it was not very "scientific" to let himself catch a rare-level contract beast single-handedly anyway, and if the task failed, the relevant task line would be deleted, and there would be no loss for him as a casual player, instead of wasting time, it would be better to pat his ass and leave.
If Zhou Han's move was known to those professional players, or the team and family, he would definitely say that he was a tyrannical thing. The hidden mission, such an unattainable "opportunity", even said to give up and gave up.
"Don't!" The little old man was also anxious when he heard this: "I've been waiting here for a few days, and I saw you as a living person, it's a big deal to wait for you to catch a pet, Lao Tzu will guide you well?" ”
Zhou Han said helplessly: "The problem is that I have to be able to find rare monsters?" ”
The little old man rolled his eyes and clapped his hands: "There is!" I remember that I felt the breath of a boss-level monster on the grassland before, and I told you the approximate location for you to catch! ”
"Boss?"
The little old man nodded.
Zhou Han pointed to the highly poisonous cave spider on the platform, and said word by word: "Catch a leader-level monster and help you kill a rare-level monster?" ”
The little old man nodded again.
"Sick! I have the strength to capture boss-level monsters, and I still need to catch boss-level monsters to help you deal with rare monsters? What about funny? Why don't you go and arrest me, and we'll come back?" ”
The little old man pointed to the position of his feet: "If I can get out of here, do I need your help?" ”
Zhou Han took a closer look, and only then did he find that there was a magic array at the feet of the little old man.
"Magic Circle?"
The little old man sighed: "This is a sealing array. I've been trapped here for almost a month, and if I hadn't lured a few poisonous spiders into digging a passage up, I'm afraid no one would have discovered this cave. But my time is running out, 7 days at most, and if I can't get the Spider King eggs, I will be devoured by this circle. ”
Zhou Han was taken aback: "So a**? What is the origin of this circle? ”
The little old man's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Spatial crack." ”
"Really?"
Zhou Han was a little unconvinced, the spatial rift is a kind of space-time rift, and the impact on the Star Continent can be divided into three types, one is to open the portal to the hell world and release the demon. The second is to release the chaotic qi and corrode the minds of the aborigines of the world of "Stars", making them bloodthirsty and evil. The third is to cause geological changes and natural disasters. The space crack can be said to be the "mastermind" behind the development of the world history of "Stars", and Zhou Hancai doesn't believe that it is so easy to let himself meet the ultimate boss of this world.
Just kidding, I'm just a casual player! It's not your turn to save the world or anything, right?
"Look at this! Look at this! The old man was forced by Zhou Han to be anxious, and took out a crystal plate from his arms, which read "Chief Breeder of the Orange Country", from the magic flow and rune arrangement on the edge of the crystal brand, a discerning person could see at a glance that the powerful magic contained in this crystal could never be a counterfeit.
Zhou Han looked the little old man up and down, and complained: "I really didn't see it." ”
"Ahhhh The little old man clenched his fists and was about to be blown up: "Forget it, forget it!" I don't care, just blow it up! If the Orlan Prairie is gone, it's gone, anyway, Lao Tzu has done his best! ”
"Okay, good, I believe it, I believe it!" Zhou Han hurriedly appeased the thunderous little old man, for fear that he would lure all the poisonous spiders around him, although he was not worried about the "Olan Prairie is gone", and he didn't want to investigate how the identity of the little old man could scratch the heads of a few poisonous spiders here, but the most important problem at the moment was that even if he wanted to help, it was impossible for him to catch the leader-level monsters!
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the problem is that I really can't get the boss-level monster!" As soon as the conversation changed, Zhou Han put the most critical issue in front of the little old man.
The little old man also felt that it was a bit difficult for a rookie breeder to catch a leader-level monster, but he had no better way, his head was about to break, and he gritted his teeth and took out 3 magic scrolls from his arms.
"You take these scrolls and try them, I can only help you with these at best!"
