CH.8 Shota who helps others
Donglai Town is far from here, not to mention that it is necessary to walk for an hour, this time is indeed more boring, want to see the scenery everywhere, all around are the crowd of strange people, no matter how beautiful the scenery is washed away by this shouting and killing sound also becomes boring. Standing outside the woods with my master for a while, I suddenly exclaimed behind my back: "Wow, it's actually a core cloth armor." ”
I looked back curiously, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing behind me, he stared at the cloth armor on my body with wide eyes, as an NPC, I was used to being ignored, and it was the first time I was so watched.
"Big brother, you must be an insider player! Can I add a friend? The boy asked excitedly.
"Add me as a friend? But...... But ...... "I was a little overwhelmed.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hot Sauce, and I'm a story-obsessed player. My ambition is to become a magician. Then find Bishop Mondedona and restore peace to the continent. ”
"Ah...... My name is Tail Ring, and it's the Ice Lemon lady's...... Channeling mercenaries ...... The ambition is for my employer to make a successful career change. ”
Hot sauce was taken aback and stared at me dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that my employer would be merciful enough to put a piece of B-rank gear on the mercenary's body. His surprised expression was a little lost, and he asked, "But from the way you speak, it seems that the AI is much higher than the average mercenary." ”
I should tell him that I'm the mercenary No. 1 set up by the system, so is it the best among the mercenaries? Bing Lemon has never revealed to the outside world that she is the first player to log in to the game, so naturally I can't rush to spread the word about it. Just as I hesitated, the hot sauce's eyes lit up and said, "I understand, at that time, the development company advertised that the earlier players who entered the game, the higher the AI and growth rate of the mercenaries that could be equipped in the early stage, which would make it easier for pioneer players to make their first class change. ”
Judging by all indications, this kid knows a lot about the game, and before I could speak, he said: "This is actually a very user-friendly setting, because the vanguard player is responsible for clearing the wasteland, and it is necessary to have a strong mercenary." ”
The incessant gushing of the hot sauce made me a little dumbfounded, and the ice lemon, who was not good at words, was even more out of reach, and the hot sauce saw our surprise, and suddenly said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from the two of you, because in the real world, I can't speak, so ...... When I arrived in this world, I was inevitably a little happy! ”
Bing Lemon asked me softly: "Tail ring, this younger brother is helpless, or we can also add him as a friend, so that we can take care of him in the future, how about it?" ”
Maybe Bing Lemon is the only player who obeys her mercenaries, she gives me a strong sense of presence, and I said movingly: "Master, you want to add friends and add it, you don't need me to guide this kind of problem, right?" ”
Ice lemon and hot sauce added each other as friends, and said to each other, "Lots of advice!" ”
"With the cutting corners of PC online games, many game manufacturers focus on the means of collecting money, and the arrangement of the game plot has seriously shrunk, resulting in a large reduction in the number of players in the plot stream. This new-generation online game barely revealed any plot in the previous open beta trailer, saying that it is to stimulate the spirit of adventure among players, and I have been studying the backstory of this world world all day! The hot sauce said endlessly.
This hot sauce in front of him is one of the few storystream players, and when everyone is desperately rushing to the level, he is chatting with NPCs everywhere and triggering different quests, although these quests do not bring experience rewards to the player, however, the rewards of coins are very considerable.
Hot sauce is only level 4, he ran all the way here, when passing by Lake Tuckerman, his mercenary was bitten to death by a man-eating crocodile, and he didn't have time to return to the city to resurrect, so he ran all the way, in order to help an NPC in Donglai Town find his granddaughter, of course, this granddaughter is also an NPC. There is no task record in this game, and you don't know what the reward will be for completing this task, so it is completely up to your own mind and strength to do the task, not just click on it and there will be no trouble.
Of course, in the later stage, the amount of information is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to remember so many things with the human brain alone, so at level 20, there is a class of professions called scholars in the sub-class. Scholars have a special text information recording function, which can record the tasks between various histories and characters in the world, and is a necessary sub-class for plot stream players.
The task that Hot Sauce is doing now is a simple task to find people.,There's no process of fighting monsters.,It's relatively safe.,It's just where the NPC to find is.,The map is not marked.,This is when I got the task.,I got a message "My granddaughter went to play in the south of Donglai Town.,I didn't come back for two days.。 "This is definitely a move of patience and perseverance on the part of a graduate student.
After Hot Sauce described to us the overview of his current mission, Bing Lemon understood it very clearly this time, and muttered: "That grandmother's granddaughter has been lost for two days, there are so many monsters outside, her family must be in a hurry, Tail Ring, let's help find it together, right?" ”
Hot sauce was very happy and couldn't stop thanking us. The owner agreed to help find someone, and I had to follow along, but we only had about an hour, because the three of them would be back in an hour.
Anyway, this NPC doesn't stand in place as if it was punished.,All have their own consciousness.,But maybe the AI won't be as high as me.,They will do different things because of their own plot needs.,According to common sense.,That granddaughter should be wandering around in a place where I don't know where the road is.。
However, south of Lake Tuckerman is a hilly area, although the hills are not very high, but the vegetation is lush, and it is really not easy to find a person, besides, it is full of leveling players, some talking loudly, some shouting loudly when fighting monsters, and it is extremely noisy.
If it's a normal player, it's a bit of a hassle to find NPCs, because NPCs look the same as normal players, unless you turn on the UI projection and look through a magnifying glass. It's cumbersome, but it's meant to enhance the realism of the player's journey through the game.
I can't remember how many mountains we've climbed, I don't know how many people I've seen with a magnifying glass, but we haven't found the person we're looking for, but we climbed another hill and looked to the east, and saw a dense forest at the junction of heaven and earth, which was the Forest of Giant Trees, which meant that we were all about to get out of this hilly area. But no matter how much an NPC wanders around, it won't get out of the area where she is supposed to be.
Hot sauce complained, "Now it seems that the previous games with automatic pathfinding were a bit brain-dead, but they can finally save a lot of effort." As he spoke, he laughed again: "But because of this, the world in front of me is more attractive!" ”
Along the way, Hot Sauce was almost talking to himself, probably because he had the ability to speak in this world, and he was so excited that he couldn't control it for a while. At this moment, the ice lemon walking behind made an "oops", I just thought she was tripped over something like a branch, a stone, or something, but she walked well, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said in a panic: "There is a little girl there, besieged by two monsters." ”
I looked in the direction of Bing Lemon's finger, there was indeed a little girl on the grass at the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by two bobcats, she slowly retreated, retreated to the bottom of a big tree, her figure was blocked by the leaves, we couldn't see her next move, but the two bobcats had teeth and claws, as if they were ready to attack, and Bing Lemon cooperated for so long, I don't have to guess that Bing Lemon will want me to save people, it seems that I don't have to wait for Bing Lemon to order.
The lynx, which had been cut all night, would not pay attention to these two at all, and would casually slash a few swords, and they would be on all fours.
Hot sauce and ice lemon followed, and before I used the magnifying glass, I was already excited: "That girl is an NPC!" ”
Ice Lemon and Hot Sauce looked at me curiously, as if they were wondering what I could feel the identity of this girl without a magnifying glass, in fact, I didn't know what it was, it might be a resonance between people in the same world.
Hot sauce took a magnifying glass and said, "That girl's name is Mo Li, and sure enough, it's her!" The girl looked at us innocently and didn't speak.
"You're Mrs. Mo's granddaughter, right?" Hot sauce asked happily.
"Yes, I'm lost in this mountain, and I don't know my way home." Molly said.
Hot sauce pointed to the north and said, "Follow this road to the northeast to Lake Tuckerman, and then north and you'll be home!" ”
"Really? Thank you, this is some of my little care! With that, Molly gave Hot Sauce a small money bag with twenty silver coins in it.
For the time being, no matter why a seven or eight-year-old girl like Mo Li has so much money, but the system believes that we can only accept the reality, and we have to admit that this little girl is richer than my master.
Molly hummed a little song and walked north, the search for the person came to an end, and the hot sauce earned another 20 silver.
"Great, so I have 3 gold coins!" Hot sauce said happily.
The currency of this world will be automatically exchanged, when you have 100 copper coins, it will be automatically exchanged for 1 silver coin, when you have 100 silver coins, it will be automatically exchanged for 1 gold coin, at this moment when most players can make up 1 gold coin, I have 3 gold coins in front of this young hot sauce, I have to be impressed.
At this moment, there was a rustle among the dense foliage of the tree. It seems that there is a monster hiding from the tree, in order to prevent the monster from falling from the sky, I can only preemptively, I picked up a stone on the ground, aimed at the place where the sound started, the attack power of the stone is very weak, generally used to lure the monster, at the moment I just use this stone to determine the location of the monster.
Unexpectedly, a line of words popped up in front of my eyes:
"You can't attack this target!"
