Chapter 11: A Hundred Years of Horror

The old way is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, and now he is of course not the old man who tried his best to steal his life in front of Xiao Wan, nor is he the old way with a puzzled face when he was arguing with Xiao Lang just now, and finally has a feeling of "Tao", of course, it is only a little, just listen to him continue: "If you don't explain it clearly, how will I know where I have a flaw, if there is a next time, how can I deceive those goblins?" ”

"And another time?" To be honest, Xiao Lang is almost full of black lines, just like that, Xiao Lang really rarely sees such a "backboneless" person, but then again, if it weren't for his kind of performance, Xiao Lang wouldn't call him an old fritter, not to mention that as the saying goes, if you can bend and stretch, you are a big husband.

It is true that in terms of the old surname, he disdains to be a big husband.

Lao Dao didn't bother much about Xiao Lang's "there is another time", but directly answered Xiao Lang's most concerned question: "Because I don't know where these goblins' lair has moved, since someone can take me directly to their lair, then what else do I have to do?" ”

"It's as simple as that?" Xiao Lang is already full of black lines.

"How complicated is that reasoning?" The old rhetorical question is reasonable!! , Xiao Lang felt that in the face of this kind of character setting, he couldn't complain anymore, in order to find someone's nest, he didn't even want integrity or anything, and Xiao Lang thought to himself, if you have that kung fu, you can find it yourself, and you can find it here, after all, this temple is not a hidden place.

Lao Dao opened his mouth again and continued to explain, probably thinking that the statement just now was too simple, and he was not very responsible for this descendant: "This temple has a lot of things inside and a formation outside, even if it is me, it is not as simple as you think to find this place." ”

"It shouldn't be difficult to catch a monster and ask it." Xiao Lang said, because not all goblins have the temperament to rather die than let go.

"Ordinary little demons who have not yet enlightened their minds, it's useless to catch them, and I can't communicate with them for anything, only when I meet a little girl like the one just now," Lao Dao thought about it, as if he originally wanted to hide something, but he felt that the matter had come to this point, and there was no need to deliberately hide anything from this young man, so the surname Suo said: "If you come with another person, I will definitely use the method you said, but that little goblin is an old man, and I can't do it." ”

"After the deceased?" Xiao Lang just recited these four words silently in his heart, and suddenly felt that the situation seemed to be starting to become a little complicated, his grandmother's, the goblin named Xiaowan was the old man of Lao Dao, didn't that mean that Lao Dao and an old demon were old people?

Although this is obviously not in line with the secular ethics of this world, for players like Xiao Lang, there is no psychological barrier.

Not to mention that this old way may have a relationship with an old demon, that is, this old way and an old demon were born to Xiao Wan, Xiao Lang will be amazed at most.

Lao Dao looked at Xiao Lang's expression here, and didn't see any disdain, as usual, he also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, in this world, people and demons should only have the relationship between killing and being killed, eating and being eaten.

People and dogs, maybe there is a friendship, but I have never heard that people and cockroaches can also be called brothers, well, Xiaoqiang is not counted.

"How did you recognize her, it looks like she didn't recognize you?" Xiao Lang asked.

"She can detect that I am extraordinary because I didn't deliberately hide myself at first, and even then, she can only detect a rough idea, so to speak, do you understand?"

"I see, that is to say, you found the breath of your old friend in her, and you couldn't do it, so you chose to be captured on your own initiative." Xiao Lang said, "So, you're not here to eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao?" ”

"Hmm." Lao Dao replied very directly: "It's to find someone." ”

"It can't be your old friend...... Xiao Lang guessed.

"It's an old man, but it's not the one you think." Lao Dao repeated again, "It's an old man, it's a human, it's not a demon, don't worry." ”

Xiao Lang didn't answer, just nodded to show that he understood, at this time, what he was thinking about at all was not whether this old Taoist saw a man or a demon, it didn't matter, the important thing was that the task he was facing now was estimated to be not something that could be completed in a short period of time.

Fortunately, I have made full preparations before accessing the game, and I can support it for another six or seven hours, which should be enough to cope with this trial task, but in case I encounter a task that lasts for several days, I can't say that the reason for the failure of the mission is not bad luck, not that the skill is not high, but that I am in a hurry.

So, this is what Xiao Lang is thinking about now - if it is not himself who draws this trial task, but an ordinary player, wouldn't it be funny? Hungry and can't stand it or is anxious to give up the task?

The trial task is randomly assigned, and everyone only has the right to choose whether to enter the trial task, but not the right to choose which specific trial task, so now Xiao Lang slowly has a feeling that the trial task he is entering now does not seem to be the so-called random selection and distribution.

It's just a feeling, and there isn't much evidence to support it, so Xiao Lang can't be sure yet.

Although he signed a contract similar to a deed of sale to [Second Heaven], he can be regarded as a regular employee of others, in other words, [Second Heaven] has no reason to pit himself, so in other words, this trial task may have a good reward waiting for him.

Although Bluetooth has been emphasizing that [Fantasy World] is now running with reading power, in order to ensure fairness, the world's eight major optical brain game companies, including [Second Heaven], have no right to change anything about this game, but, after all, the game developed by these companies, to say that it is not boring at all, Xiao Lang will not believe it.

However, if you think about it, this cat is also limited and tight, and it can't be put on the bright side, otherwise, once it is discovered by others, even if it is [Second Heaven], it will not be able to hold this kind of leak.

"By the way, Housheng, this is for you." Just when Xiao Lang was still thinking about what kind of benefits were both real and not too rebellious, Lao Dao suddenly said to Xiao Lang, still holding a gray crockpot in his hand.

"What is this?" Xiao Lang asked so on his lips, and his hand had already taken the crockpot that didn't look very good without hesitation: "Thank you first." ”

No matter what it is, if you want to come to Lao Dao to give away, it shouldn't be a bad thing, and of course, Xiao Lang doesn't expect anything against the sky.

Lao Dao seemed to be amused by Xiao Lang's "fast hand", and said first: "Don't you ask why I gave you something?" ”

"It's hard to guess? It's nothing more than two reasons, one is self-defense, after all, it's also a monster's lair here, it's nothing to you, but for me, it's dangerous, frightening every step, you're worried that I can't protect myself, give me one or two self-defense treasures, it's normal. What's more, it seems that even if you have a friendship with the monsters here, you still have mixed grievances, otherwise you won't choose that method even if you can't walk in in openly. Xiao Lang looked left and right, but he didn't see what this crockpot was for: "Second, it's nothing more than thanks, thank you for picking out the loopholes in your so-called perfect plan just now." ”

"Uh......" Lao Dao smiled helplessly: "It's easy to talk to smart people." ”

Xiao Lang is right, Lao Dao will give Xiao Lang this crockpot now, just because of his gratitude, of course, there is no thanks, strictly speaking, it is actually Xiao Lang's remarks just now, which is quite in line with Lao Dao's appetite, and also helped Lao Dao a big favor, Lao Dao is not willing to owe anyone, so he will naturally express something.

"Then what is this thing for?" Xiao Lang is a little strange, according to reason, this crockpot, Lao Dao has already given it to himself, it should already be regarded as his own thing, so why can't he see any information about it?

"I have to ask first, where are you going next?" Lao Dao was not in a hurry to answer Xiao Lang's question.

"Where are you going?" This really embarrassed Xiao Lang, and he didn't know what to answer.

At this moment, Xiao Lang had been looking forward to it for a long time, but the task panel that had not sounded for a long time finally moved:

【Trial Mission】

Mission Name: A Hundred Years of Horror - Looking for Friends

Requirements: Assist Lao Dao in finding his old friend

Mission Description: This is an easy task, as long as you don't make stupid mistakes

Reward: 10 XP

Failure Penalty: Level 1, XP 0

Branch task: Not triggered

Acceptable?

"Yes!" Xiao Lang did not hesitate.

And Xiao Lang also understood that Lao Dao was asking himself, whether to go with him to find his old friend, or to leave first.

There is no doubt that if he chooses "no", it means that he will leave here, and he will be separated from the old way, and Bacheng will not have any follow-up tasks, but directly end this trial.

Of course, this is impossible for Xiao Lang to choose, besides, this task is not difficult to complete from the point of view of the explanation, and the failure penalty is nothing more than 30 points of experience for the current Xiao Lang, so Xiao Lang can't just give up.

"With you, of course, to find your old friend." Xiao Lang replied after understanding why Lao Dao asked this question.

Lao Dao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief before continuing: "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you what this thing is." ”

As he spoke, he took back the crockpot from Xiao Lang's hand, took out a black pill-like thing from his arms, and smeared it on the mouth of the crockpot.

Even Xiao Lang probably hasn't realized it yet, but in fact, this place is already a branch of the trial mission.

Of course, the branch is not simply the branch of the plot, but the reward branch.

If Xiao Lang was not so "clear" in front of him, he was deceived by Xiao Wan first, and then deceived by Lao Dao, then Lao Dao would never take out the crockpot and hand it to Xiao Lang before the task was issued, that is to say, Lao Dao has no reason to take out anything to repay Xiao Lang, if Xiao Lang chooses not to accept the task at this time, then Xiao Lang can say that this trial mission, except for the pitiful 30 points of experience, nothing has been gained.

And now, even if Xiao Lang leaves, that crockpot is already his belongings, but there is definitely no black pill behind him. Similarly, if Xiao Lang's performance in the front was not so eye-catching, then now Lao Dao will definitely not add another pill in vain even if he takes out this crockpot even after Xiao Lang accepts the task.

(This is not because he is stingy and reluctant to give anything, but because he is like this, of course, it can also be understood that the system stipulates that this is so)

Therefore, Xiao Lang never does anything meaningless, but there is some meaning, which cannot be seen on the surface.

Bounty hunters aren't exactly ordinary killers who take money to kill people, maybe you have to make a cameo appearance when your employer needs to rob a grave, many times fooling your employer is more important than simply completing the task, and since you want to fool your employer, you have to make sure that you are justified and not make any mistakes when you talk as much nonsense as possible.

This is what he has cultivated as a bounty hunter for so many years, which can be said to be both an advantage and a fault.
