Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man (Ask for Collection)

(Collection and recommendation, beg for smashing!!) )

Special Missions!

As soon as Li Feng saw these four words, his heart immediately became a little excited.

Generally speaking, the special quests in the game are unique, and he is the first person in Hongyun Village to complete the [Collecting Boar Teeth] quest, so he is the first player to encounter this special quest.

According to the previous game experience, after completing a special mission, players can get a special item, maybe a special equipment, maybe a special skill, maybe even a special class, everything is possible!

"Accept!" Li Feng quickly took the task, and then opened the task scroll and began to view the task content inside:

【The Stranger's Secret】At the entrance of the village to the east of the village, there is a strange man sitting under a big tree, no one knows his origin, if you can learn the secret of this strange person, you will be able to get a mysterious reward.

Closing the task scroll, Li Feng immediately rushed to the east of the village, and now the village was full of novice players, all kinds of shouts and quarrels gathered together, forming a torrent of sounds, giving people the feeling of walking into a vegetable market, extremely noisy.

Coming to the east of Hongyun Village, looking up, there are players everywhere who farm monsters and level up, the number of people is far more than monsters, and every refreshed monster can't escape the tragic fate of being divided, and Li Feng can only mourn silently for the monsters in his heart.

Li Feng's eyes swept around, and soon saw that under a big tree next to the entrance of the village, an old man in ragged clothes was sitting there motionless. The old man's face was old, his eyes were cloudy and dull, and there were a few leaves on his body, and the whole person was like a sculpture, and he could hardly feel any breath of life.

Around the old man, there were many players around, and it was obvious that they also saw the existence of this mysterious old man and wanted to try to take on some tasks, however, their various actions did not attract a response from this old man.

"Damn, I thought I could get some task, it turned out to be a bad old man with Alzheimer's disease!"

"I'm even worse, I said a lot of words next to me, and this old man didn't react at all, wasting my precious time to upgrade. It seems that your judgment is correct, it is estimated that there is no task to take here, let's go, fight monsters and upgrade. ”

Eventually, the players around the old man left with a curse, and silence returned.

Li Feng didn't try to communicate with this old man like other players, even the NPCs in the village couldn't communicate with this strange old man, and the players were even more impossible, he kept watching this strange old man from the side, paying attention to any changes in the old man's body.

Wasting leveling time? His goal is to become a life player, level leaderboard or something while playing, it has nothing to do with him at all!

It's boring to observe the old man? His biggest advantage is that he has tenacious patience, a guy who can squat on the ground and watch the ants move for more than an hour, where will the patience be bad?

Soon, a new humanoid statue appeared under the big tree, and at this time, Li Feng was like an old monk in a fixed place, sitting not far from the old man and observing the strange old man.

Once Li Feng enters a quiet state, his observation power will become extremely amazing, which is another of his more significant advantages, second only to his demonic patience.

After more than half an hour of continuous observation, he found that although the old man's eyes were cloudy, they sometimes occasionally revealed an extremely complicated gaze in them.

It was an inexplicably strange gaze with memories, pain, remorse, self-blame, and happiness...... All sorts of emotions are entangled, and together they make up this gaze, which is so informative that it is so fleeting that it is impossible to detect it if you don't look closely.

Li Feng also noticed that whenever the old man showed this kind of emotion, his gaze would fall on a certain house in the west of Hongyun Village, and even his body would shake slightly.

It was a very old wooden house, with two floors, and many places had decayed and collapsed, and it was dilapidated, and it was not known how long it had not been inhabited.

"Could it be that this old man was originally a villager from Hongyun Village, and that house is his home?" An idea flashed through Li Feng's mind, in the old man's eyes, there was indeed a kind of homesickness in it.

In order to confirm the true identity of the old man, he went back to the village to find the village chief.

There will be a file record of the villagers in every village, the old man is very old, at least eighty years old, and no one in the village seems to know him, there are only two explanations, one is that all the villagers who know this old man are no longer alive, and the other is that the old man's appearance has changed so much that no one can recognize him.

Having both possibilities, Li Feng decided to find out the origin of the dilapidated log cabin in the village, and he approached the village chief, explained his intentions, and soon he was able to enter the village archives.

From the mouth of the village chief, Li Feng got an astonishing information, the small wooden house in the village has been uninhabited for more than 70 years, its original owner was a young couple from outside, and then for some reason, the man never came back after going out once, leaving the woman alone to guard the house.

A few years after the man left, the woman died of depression, and the hut was deserted, where it remains to this day, and is one of the oldest houses in the village.

Since it had been so long, the village chief himself had only learned this information from the conversations of the elders, and he did not know if it was correct.

"If that little cabin is really the old man's home, then isn't the old man's age more than a hundred years old!" Li Feng was secretly surprised in his heart, he felt that the old man was most likely the man who ran away from home, which explained why the old man showed such extremely complicated emotions.

Li Feng faintly sensed the basic context of this whole thing, and now he wanted to check the file and learn more about this mysterious old man.

With the help of the archivist, Li Feng found the file of the owner of the house, sat down by the window, and read it carefully.

Half an hour later, Li Feng walked out of the archive room, and now he had got the information he wanted, it turned out that the owners of the cabin were Viren and Jenny, they were an alien couple, they lived together in Hongyun Village for five years, in the sixth year, Viren left Hongyun Village and never came back, while Jenny stayed in Hongyun Village and died of illness a few years later.

He was now almost certain that the old man sitting outside the village was Viren, for only Viren himself would have that kind of nostalgia for the cabin.
