Chapter Twenty-Six: Your Grace and Brightness Touches the Heavens and the Earth
- The next chapter will be a first-order transformation, asking for expectations, asking for recommendations, and asking for rewards. The second update at noon will be sent directly now.,Those who see this chapter directly today don't read the previous chapter.,Although the previous chapter is a bit nonsense-
At this time, it's past five o'clock in the morning. Although Xiao Ye had been fighting with the Bull Demon King all night, he had just slept for twenty-four hours a few hours before, so he was just tired, but his spirit was very good. After lying depressed on the ground for nearly an hour, his physical strength was almost completely recovered, and he naturally couldn't waste time at this time.
In the novice village, everyone can find the relevant villagers to learn the basic life skills of level 1, Xiao Ye is naturally a novice, and all of them have learned the "novice level", and now Xiao Ye is walking on the way to the blacksmith shop, because he remembers that there are related mining tasks that can be done infinitely in the blacksmith shop, and he can just do the tasks first and when practicing his skills.
"Hmm...... Anyone? Anyone? Anyone-?!! ”
Ten minutes later, Xiao Ye walked unhurriedly from the resurrection point near the south gate of Xiangyang City to the blacksmith shop near the north gate. When Xiao Ye walked into the blacksmith shop, he saw that the NPC uncle was sitting on a wooden chair with his head tilted and dozing off - after hesitating for a while, Xiao Ye quickly made a snobbish judgment: although this NPC would be very useful for strengthening his weapons because of his master-level forging skills, it seemed that it would not be a big deal to offend him......
In "Without a Trace", the NPCs all have quite realistic feelings, and many special NPCs are even more "individual" than the players themselves - such as Comrade Xiao Ye's self-proclaimed "lonely as snow" beautiful master. And because of this, some NPCs can't be offended, otherwise, if you really provoke some NPCs, it's not impossible for the world to hunt you down!
However, that's just for "special NPCs", ordinary NPCs like the uncle in the blacksmith shop, generally speaking, they just "do things according to the rules", they usually don't "travel the world" like Xiao Ye's "lonely" beautiful master, nor like some special bosses in some dungeons or missions or on the map, like chasing players to attack like they have "enmity against the sky" - so, Xiao Ye said very snobbishly: there is no pressure to offend them.
Xiao Ye, who had thought about this clearly, simply woke up Uncle Blacksmith from his dream at the next moment.
"It's early in the morning, what a noise!" Uncle Blacksmith slowly opened his eyes and yelled dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you see people sleeping?!" ”
In the world of "Without a Trace", although there is a distinction between day and night, as long as it is sunny, at night it will be "naturally" "moonlight and starlight", and "brightly lit" is stronger than the real world world, which is no different from the day - after all, this is still the game world world, and it can't be smeared in the game world during the prime time period from 7 to 10 o'clock in the evening - and the copy space like Huaguo Mountain is simply and always daytime. However, despite this, the NPCs have long been "accustomed" to the day and night here, and have a natural and accurate grasp of time.
"That...... I'm sorry...... Excuse me...... It's me who is wrong, as soon as I walked in, I yelled loudly, I didn't notice ......" Xiao Ye hurriedly made a look of "I'm sorry", "I didn't mean to wake you up at all", and said to the blacksmith - although there is no evil result if this NPC is offended, but after all, the task is still on him, although the system arranges "as long as there are players who forge weapons, have money and materials, they have to take it", but when it comes to tasks, NPCs have quite freedom. Although the tasks on this blacksmith uncle are pitiful, there are only two, but after all, the task has not been given to Xiao Ye yet, right?
"Forget it," Uncle Blacksmith listened to him quickly apologize, his expression softened, and he felt that since he had been woken up, it was useless to be angry again, so he had to wave his hand—"What weapons do you have to strengthen here?" ”
"I'm not here to strengthen weapons," Xiao Ye said - nonsense, although Xiao Xiao Qiao's fan needs to be strengthened, but that fan will only appear when Xiao Xiao Qiao is in his state, and he has neither the money for ordinary reinforcement nor special reinforcement for Xuaniron Ore now, so he is naturally not here to strengthen weapons in the current "ontology" state-
"I've heard that you're short of manpower for some things here, so I wanted to see if there's anything I can do." Xiao Ye skillfully began to set tasks. …,
"Oh? Looking for something to do? Uncle Blacksmith was slightly surprised - now in this "year", the batch of sixty or seventy, seventy * eighty level "players" have long ignored his affairs here, except for the usual time when he wants to strengthen his equipment, even if he begs them now, where are they willing to help him do those "ordinary things" such as mining stones! There is actually a "player" who will find him today to ask for something to do!
"The living Lei Feng of the new era!" Although Uncle Blacksmith didn't know who "Lei Feng" was, at this moment, he had such a feeling in his heart. There was a look of approval on his face—and then he quickly looked at some of the personal information that the young man in front of him could see.
Then his face sank.
Xiao Ye, only level 28.
"I see, this guy is only level 28......" Uncle Blacksmith's look of approval disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Everyone is level 70 or 80, and this guy is only level 28......
"Cut!" Seeing that such a burly blacksmith uncle's face changed instantly, and he immediately understood that he might have seen his rank, and then he even "judged the hero by rank", Xiao Ye couldn't help but scold in his heart, "I guess I saw Lao Tzu's level...... Depend on! If it weren't for the fact that you were going to practice mining and do a task by the way, with such a little experience and 'prize' of your task, it was similar to an ordinary small boss, and it was not uncommon!! ”
"Yes, I'm here to find something to do," Xiao Ye's tone immediately became much colder, although the other party is just an NPC, but NPCs can't look down on people aren't-"I'll do it if there's something, I'll flash people if there's nothing to do." ”
"Hmph......" Xiao Ye's sudden coldness made the blacksmith feel quite unhappy - you are a level 28 "outdated" guy, what do you have to do - however, the task still has to be given, because he is really short of things here - "I am indeed short of a lot of ore here, so I lack some manpower to help me mine, this ...... What's your name? ”
"Xiao Ye - no, [Xiao Ye] (Xiao Ye's game character name)-" Xiao Ye thought very depressedly in his heart, "You TM yourself don't have long eyes, you just looked at my level, you don't know how to read your name", but he still held back for the time being, and slowly replied, "My name is [Xiao Ye]. ”
"Oh, this Xiao ......" Uncle Blacksmith said this, and immediately paused-! Everyone has to call him "Master" by this name!! Ruthless enough! Enough!!
But – wait!
"What, your name is 'Xiao Ye'?!" The blacksmith who had just paused suddenly had his eyes lit up - "Your name is 'Xiao Ye'?!" Are you 'that' 'Xiao Ye'? ”
Suddenly, the excitement was palpable!
...... "Xiao Ye Khan." What this and that! Xiao Ye, who was confused by the blacksmith's sudden 180-degree change in attitude, pouted and said, "[Xiao Ye] has only one, and that is me!" ”
"Wow! Xiao Ye! When the blacksmith heard this, he became even more excited—"Are you sure you are 'Xiao Ye'?" ”
"Holy! You don't read my name yourself!! Xiao Ye, who was confused by this blacksmith NPC who despised him before, but now his attitude has suddenly changed drastically, but it has become very strange, finally couldn't help but roar.
When the blacksmith heard this, he hurriedly concentrated and used the "identification technique" on Xiao Ye again-
"[Xiao Ye], level 28. Occupation:**. ”
"Ahh It's really Xiao Ye!! The legendary Xiao Ye!! The blacksmith looked excited, as if he had seen a peerless ore that could make his blacksmith shop forge a peerless weapon immediately—
"You are the legendary Xiao Ye who does good deeds without revealing his name, helps others without asking for compensation, will definitely complete the commission no matter how difficult it is, and is strong and compassionate at the same time, the famous Xiao Ye!!"
"......" Xiao Ye is sweating.
"Come on, Xiao Ye, I have an extremely important task here," the blacksmith saw Xiao Ye's blank face, but he ignored it, and continued to say "enthusiastically", "I wouldn't entrust him to ordinary people, but if it were you, I believe it would be absolutely fine......"
"Wait! Wait a minute! Xiao Ye finally called out, "Let's make it clear first-when did I become 'famous'?!" ”
Could it be that he killed the level 80 [God Destroying Heavenly Punishment] at level 10 in his little Qiao form, even the NPCs also noticed? However, what does that have to do with "doing good deeds", "helping others", "commissioning" and "compassion", ........., "Wow, it's really Xiao Ye!" Sure enough, he did good deeds without asking for praise!! The blacksmith was even more excited, "No wonder just half an hour ago, we suddenly received a notice from Zongmiao, saying that there was a legendary figure named [Xiao Ye] in our Xiangyang City, who overcame great difficulties and did a good deed that was extremely difficult to complete, and then successfully passed the god-level difficulty test, showing his (her) extremely noble personality - now it seems that he really deserves to be called Xiao Ye!" Your high wind and bright festival is almost felt by the temple, it is really moving!! ”
"......" Xiao Ye wondered if the blacksmith had recognized the wrong person - "I...... What's the 'Bright Wind' on me? ”
"You don't have to be modest, the notice of the Jongmyo will never be wrong, and your name will never be changed." The blacksmith said excitedly, "Oh, by the way, I have some fluorescent iron ore here, which was specially sent by the Zongmiao just now, and the Zongmiao said that although you have completed the god-level trial perfectly, you must still be paid for the commission you completed before that-Talking counts, this is also the criterion that we Xiangyang people (monkeys) must abide by!! ”
As he spoke, the blacksmith quickly picked up a small leather bag from under his chair, and pulled out a dark ore from it that shone with a cyan glow—
"Na, this is the fluorescent iron ore that Zongmiao entrusted me to hand over to you, saying that you will definitely come to me one day to strengthen your weapons, but I didn't expect to come so soon!"
"Also, since you have completed the god-level trial - the sacrifice of interests and humanity - your high wind and bright festival has touched the people (NPCs) of all Xiangyang City, and from today onwards, you will also enjoy a unique special treatment!"
"......" Xiao Ye looked at the dark ore that was shining with cyan light, and at a glance he knew that it was definitely a good thing, and glanced at the small leather bag that the blacksmith was carrying in his hand, although it was not very large, but it seemed to be full of things, and he couldn't help but salivate undercurrent-
"But, wait! What are you talking about?! God-level trials? The trade-off between interests and humanity? ”
Xiao Ye's mind was at a loss again.
He really didn't remember when he had made a trade-off between "interests" and "human nature", such a big and mysterious thing - he really didn't have any impression in his mind.
Moreover, when did he "move the heavens and the earth with a high wind and bright festival"......
And at this very moment-
"Ding"!
"System Prompt: You have completed the hidden follow-up quest of the quest 'Guardian of Huaguo Mountain' - 'The Sacrifice of Interests and Humanity', which was relayed through any NPC in the main city after the original quest was completely closed. Please go to the corresponding NPC to claim the quest reward. ”

Completely confused......
