Chapter 003 - Leveling

Qin Haonan slowly descended from the sky, a white light flashed, and he appeared in the game's novice village, Taoyuan Village.

I saw that Taoyuan Village was full of peach trees, pink ones. It was antique, a gust of wind blew, and there was a faint aroma in the air. Many players have not yet started the quest and are enjoying the beautiful scenery of Taoyuan Village and indulging in it. Since the game has just started, there are not many players in the game yet.

After all, Qin Haonan had entered this game again, so he didn't waste any time, and walked quickly towards the leading NPC of the novice village, the old village chief.

"Floating like a dream, welcome to Taoyuan Village No. 0001. Our people here are quaint and the villagers are very welcoming. You may wish to say hello to everyone and receive a gift from everyone! ”

"System prompt: You received the 'Greeting the villagers' task."

Qin Haonan was very familiar with the task of the novice village, he skillfully ran around the village, got the novice sword (attack +1) from the blacksmith, got the novice robe (defense +1) and the novice straw sandals (speed +1) from the tailor, and got 6 hemostatic grass (blood replenishment) and 6 dragon extension grass (qi replenishment) from the pharmacy owner. Finally, return to the old village chief and get the final reward of 20 copper coins and 20 experience points.

After equipping everything, Qin Haonan began the real journey of "Century".

For online games, it is important to level up. Qin Haonan skillfully took over one task after another, and sometimes, he even took two tasks at the same time, because the content of the task is the same, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.

When the last wild boar fell from his side, Qin Haonan rose gorgeously to level 3. I handed in the task, and just wanted to go to the bulletin board over there, I found that I was stopped by an old woman. The old woman was dressed in cloth and carried a large medicine basket on her back, looking very anxious.

"This young man, seeing that you are carrying a sword, you must be a person who practices martial arts. The old body has a reluctant request, I wonder if the young man can agree? ”

"Old man, no problem, if you have any difficulties, just tell me." Qin Haonan hurriedly responded. This is the first time that an NPC has taken the initiative to stop him. Your luck is full, and it's normal to trigger hidden missions.

"System Prompt: Floating like a dream, you have triggered the 'Life-Saving Herb Quest', please complete it within 5 hours. The final reward of the mission: experience points +400, a mystery reward. The timer starts now, and if you don't complete it within the allotted time, the task will disappear automatically. ”

Quests that can have a time limit, and the mystery rewards must be unusual. Qin Haonan took a closer look at the task, this task turned out to be a serial task.

The first link is to go to the back mountain of Taoyuan Village, find a You Fanglangzhong named Gu Sanwen, and ask him for life-saving herbs. The back mountain of Taoyuan Village is a leveling area above level 5, and Qin Haonan's level is not enough.

But time was pressing, and Qin Haonan didn't dare to delay. Abandon the idea of going to level 5 first and then go over, go to the pharmacy to replenish a few hemostatic grasses, and hurried to the back mountain.

The scenery on the back mountain is still very beautiful, in addition to the peach tree, there are many strange flowers and plants on the mountain. However, there is no player at the moment, because the game has only been open for more than 1 hour, and no player can reach level 5 to come here. It's still good to level up here, and you won't be disturbed. Not far away, the level 5 small wild monster "Colored Butterfly" was constantly flying, and Qin Haonan boldly summoned Nuwa Linglong.

The baby looked like she was five or six months old, pink and tender, with a pair of big watery eyes, flickering at herself, little arms like lotus roots, she was suspended in the air, stretched out her hands, and wanted a hug. Qin Haonan felt that his big man was instantly cute.

Reach out to catch the little guy, I didn't expect the game to be so realistic, Xiao Linglong's skin is really smooth and delicate like a baby, which makes people have an urge to put it down.

"Linglong, the master summoned you, can you fight with the master?" Qin Haonan wanted to tease this cute little guy.

Xiao Linglong tilted her head, looked at him, and said in a milky voice: "Master, Linglong is only level 1 now, and she hasn't learned any skills, but I can give you spiritual support." ”

I didn't expect this super divine beast to be able to speak when it was level 1, this artificial intelligence is really powerful. I remember that I had seen contract beasts brought by others before, basically all of them were animal bodies, dolls like Linglong were rare, and it was even more impossible to speak. Since you can talk, many things are easy to do. Qin Haonan couldn't help but complain: "This is troublesome, you will eat white rice now." Master, I need combat power! ”

"Master, you don't look down on God. I am the great god of Nuwa, and when I grow up, I am extremely powerful. Xiao Linglong twisted her head and pursed her mouth, obviously unconvinced.

"What's the use of being powerful in the future, we have to look at the present."

"Then master, you hurry up and level up, I will have skills when I am level 10." Xiao Linglong crawled out of Qin Haonan's arms, continued to levitate in the air, and urged, "Hurry up and level up, master!" ”

"Okay, leveling up." Qin Haonan didn't waste any time, took out the novice long sword, and quickly rushed into the group of "colored butterflies" of the little wild monsters.

-2,-3,-2,-1……

A row of numbers instantly floated on the head of the colorful butterfly, and it seems that this overstepping monster is more troublesome. Qin Haonan opened the character bar and added all the 6 attribute points obtained after upgrading to the attack. In the online game "Century", each upgrade system will give 3 attribute points, which are freely allocated by players. Qin Haonan is now level 3, and the attribute points that have been upgraded twice are just right to use!

-4,-5,-4,-6……

Qin Haonan's skillful positioning, although he is a leapfrog to fight monsters, he is not at a disadvantage.

In the past, Qin Haonan, in order to better play the sword immortal profession in "Century", studied martial arts for two years, and specialized in swordsmanship in the later stage. For positioning, the use of skills, have their own unique views.

After killing the "Colored Butterfly" group all the way, Qin Haonan finally found the NPC Gu Sanwen in a hidden place behind the pavilion on the back hillside. Gu Sanwen was a thin Lang Zhong and handed over the task. Qin Haonan was promoted to level 4, and Linglong was promoted to level 2 and received a copper ring. Gu Sanwen told him that the life-saving herbs were snatched away by a mutant wolf beast in the depths of the back mountain. The mission of the second ring is to go to the depths of the back mountain to find the mutant wolf beast, defeat him, and retrieve the life-saving herbs.

Check out the copper ring, the attributes are really good, defense +3, mana +1, the equipment level is exactly level 4, decisively equipped, go to the depths of the back mountain to kill monsters.

Qin Haonan is not a blind person, the back mountain is so big, it is not easy to find a mutant wolf. Plus there is a time limit. As he walked deep into the back mountain, his mind racing through his memories.

I have the impression that in the map of the novice village, there are no wolves among the mobs. And the first appearance of the wolf beast was after leaving the novice village, and on the way to the town, they were all level 10 or 11 monsters. To the east, deep in the back mountain, it is connected to the exit of the novice village.

After giving it a try, Qin Haonan made up his mind and walked towards the east. Xiao Linglong was lying on his shoulder, eating his fingers, with a cute face, this eating experience is really leisurely.

Walking to the position near the exit of the novice village, before leaving the woods behind the mountain, I saw a wounded blue giant wolf crawling on the grass to lick its wounds.

It seems that he was really blinded by himself.

Level 11 - Injured Mutant Wolfbeast (Little Elite)

"......" When Qin Haonan walked into it and saw the name on the head of the wolf beast monster, he couldn't help but be stunned. A level 11 elite monster that appears in a novice village where there are only level 1-10 novices? This is not logical, and there must be a reason for it.

"Whew~" The mutant wolf beast had apparently noticed that a player had entered its territory, and stood up vigilantly. A pair of eyes stared at Qin Haonan's direction. Without giving the other party time to react, he quickly pounced.

Qin Haonan quickly retreated, dodging the first attack. I didn't expect this elite monster to take the initiative to attack.

Dodge left and right, -60, and there is a burst of red on the floating dream. No, a normal attack will make you lose half of your health, so you will hang back directly. After eating a hemostatic grass, Qin Haonan hurriedly set up a long sword to defend. His long sword slashed at the mutant wolf beast, only floating a pitiful -1, and then hitting the wolf's head, it was still -1. Hit it in the injured leg, -2.

-80, another fluttering red floated from his head again. The blood gauge that had just been filled was now not even half of it.

No, think of a way. Such a level 11 elite monster is simply not something that a novice like them can deal with. There must be a reason why it is placed in the newbie village, and the game company may not let the player solve it by force.

"Brother Wolf, can we stop fighting...... Hiss, it hurts. Qin Haonan dodged quickly, "Can we sit down and talk, you are injured, it is not good for the wound to fight like this." ”

Qin Haonan was a very careful person, and he found that the eyes of the wolf beast were obviously not so irritable.

"I don't want to hurt you, shall we talk? It is not force alone that can solve the problem. Hard-headed, Qin Haonan continued to speak bitterly.

Don't say it, it really works, the mutant wolf beast obviously understands. It stopped attacking, tilted its head, and looked at Qin Haonan over and over again. The originally ferocious wolf beast instantly turned into a cute husky, came over to lick Qin Haonan's face, and said, "This little brother, you really have no ill will towards me?" ”

Qin Haonan noticed that the name on the head of the original mutant wolf beast had changed from "Level 11 - Injured Mutant Wolf Beast (Little Elite)" to "Injured Mutant Wolf Beast" in the color of an ordinary NPC.

"Brother Wolf, don't worry, I don't want to hurt you."

"Then why did you come here, did that You Fang Langzhong ask you to come?" The mutant wolfbeast asked.

"Yes. Brother Wolf, you snatched Lang Zhong's life-saving herb, this herb is really urgent. ”

The mutant wolfbeast's head hung down, looking very sad. "I don't want to rob him of his herbs, but you see, I'm injured, and I finally met a Langzhong, and I want him to help me heal, but he runs away when he sees me, and doesn't listen to me at all, I'm so sad."

So that's it, and that's easy. "Brother Wolf, then I'll call Lang Zhong to help you heal your wounds?"

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, I only need 5 hemostatic grasses. Little brother, do you have hemostatic grass there? ”

"Yes."

"System prompt: Floating like a dream, you have lost 5 hemostatic grasses."

And just like that, the task of the second ring was accomplished. The mutant wolf beast returned the life-saving herbs to Qin Haonan, and in return for the hemostatic herbs he gave them, he also gave some experience and a level 5 robe (defense +4, spirit +1). The task of the third ring is opened, to return the herbs to Lang Zhong.

Qin Haonan was about to turn around and go back to his life, but found that the mutant wolf beast not only did not leave, but was lying on the spot, and an exclamation mark sign appeared on his head, which meant that there was still a task to take. The two tasks that Qin Haonan encountered in the novice village today were not triggered when he played the game before, and they were never mentioned on the forum, so they must be hidden tasks. Take it, take it, take all these hidden missions.

"Brother Wolf, do you need help with anything?"

"Little brother, you are such a good person. I thought you were very kind just now, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy for us orcs. That's right, I'm actually a contract beast, and among the many contract beasts of my master, my strength is the most humble. Some time ago, he was injured in a fight with Dabai (another contract beast of the master) and ran away from home in a fit of rage. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw wolves nearby, and I wanted to join them, but I didn't expect those wolves to stop playing with me. I'm so sad, I miss my master. The mutant wolf beast said, and tears fell.

"Do you need me to help you find your master?"

"Little brother, let me follow you. I see that you are a swordsman, and you will definitely go to the 'Firmament Sect' to apprentice in the future, my master is on the Firmament Mountain, and his name is Deadwood Zhenren. Take me to him, and he will thank you again. ”

"Okay, I'll promise you."

"System prompt: Floating like a dream, you have triggered the 'Take the Mutant Wolf Beast Home Mission'. Final Reward: ??? ”

With the prompt of the system, Qin Haonan found that the mutant wolf beast was gone, and when he went to the inventory again, the icon of a mutant wolf beast appeared there. I don't know what the reward for this quest will be, but it won't be too bad.

Speaking of the 'Firmament Sect', it is really familiar to Qin Haonan. As soon as the 30th level turned to the Sword Immortal, he went to the 'Firmament Sect' to report and apprentice.

But there doesn't seem to be a single Deadwood real person in the Firmament Sect, right? Qin Haonan recalled repeatedly, there was indeed no such NPC. No, no, Qin Haonan knocked on his head, and suddenly thought that in the Strange Beast Pavilion in the mountain behind the Firmament Sect, there was an old man who was sweeping the floor and guarding the gate of the courtyard, and his name seemed to be Deadwood.

That's right, there is indeed such an NPC, and there has been a lot of talk in the forum for a while, and there is a list called "Century: On the Top Ten Useless NPCs in China".

This deadwood is at the top of the list of the top ten useless NPCs. For the same reason, many people have read Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and one of the sweeping monks impressed everyone, that is really a hermit master who does not show his mountains and waters. Therefore, players feel that the old man who can occupy a large courtyard in the dignified firmament faction may also be a master of the world. Maybe you can trigger a hidden mission!

There's also a player.,The charm value seems to be 9.,If there's nothing to do, go there and chat around the old man of the dead wood.,The old man's words don't change all year round.,It's a string of ellipsis.。 Finally, one day, after he had 100 consecutive conversations, the old man came up with a sentence: "The Tao is the Tao, what is the Tao?" After that, it goes back to the ellipsis.

Many players have tried it, and it can be described as extremely disappointing. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

is just such a sweeping old man with fairy wind bones, in the huge Firmament Mountain, there is no use, it is just an ornament. The top ten useless NPCs are ranked first, and this is where they come from.
