Chapter 49: The Significance of the World Web
Chen Mian collected the scattered items together, cleaned them up with magic tricks, and after checking them, she found that they were all things that were of little use to her, she put them away and walked out of the cave.
Soon she found the exit from the cave, and as she expected, she could get out. The cave is located in a rocky forest, surrounded by strangely shaped gray-white rocks, and more than a dozen stone houses can be seen not far away.
Chen Mian guessed that it should be the Baiyan Village mentioned in the mission description, she walked into the village, and as she approached, the hunting dogs in the village roared in a low voice, attracting the attention of the villagers.
"This is what I found in Qingquan Cave, it should be the belongings of the villagers who were killed," Chen Mian waved his hand, and the items he had put away appeared on the grass at the entrance of the village.
Baiyan Village was small, and the movement at the entrance of the village quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the onlookers made way for an old man in a white linen robe.
He only glanced at it, and recognized that there was half of his son's wooden bow in it, his eyes were slightly red, his voice trembled, and he cautiously asked Chen Mian, "Thank you, Master Mage, may I ask the monster in the Qingquan Cave......"
"It's dead, you can take these things back, I still need some fine soil or stones, that caveman came from the crack, and the crack needs to be plugged to prevent other things from accidentally coming through the dark area," Chen Mian explained.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the monster entrenched in the Qingshui Cave was really dead, and led the whole village to seriously bow to Chen Mian.
Seeing the gloom on everyone's faces dissipate, even the half-grown children grinned happily, each of them was a real person, and for the first time, Chen Mian felt that her task was not just a simple task.
Behind each mission, another group of people were saved, perhaps on different planets, in different planes, but all of them were members of the Terran race.
Chen Mian remembers that when he first entered the World Network, the second sentence mentioned that the World Network was a talent training base in the Great World.
Now Chen Mian probably understands that "talent" refers to the talents of the human race, and the meaning of the existence of the world network is not only for inheritance, but also for saving.
While each player does the task, he also contributes to the Terrans, which will be rewarded by the World Network and get the opportunity to be promoted.
However, judging from the nature of the World Network that does not force them to do tasks, it definitely does not encourage players to sacrifice their small self to achieve their big self, but hopes that players will choose carefully and grow steadily.
Because players are also members of the human race, under the premise of self-preservation, they have kindness to the race and others, and make good use of their abilities, which is the "talent" that the world network needs.
Vaguely understood the meaning of the existence of the world network, Chen Mian felt that the concept of the world network was very consistent with her, with good intentions under the premise of self-preservation, rational but not cold-blooded, self-love and not selfish, which also gave her a deeper understanding of the task.
Under the guidance of the villagers, Chen Mian found a pile of rubble, put away a large amount of rubble and soil, and returned to Qingquan Cave with a few bold youths.
After leading them to see the corpse of the caveman grabbing monster, Chen Mian said goodbye to them, and came to the crack alone, first meditated to restore the mana, and then used the shrinking technique to make his body smaller.
After shrinking, he was just able to enter the rift, and after Chen Mian entered a short distance, he was blocked by the transparent barrier, and it seemed that he could not pass through here to the dark region in this mission.
Chen Mian had no choice but to start putting gravel and soil here, occasionally using magic missiles to smash the rocks on both sides until the entire tunnel was tightly blocked.
After doing his best, Chen Mian chose to settle the task and return to his personal transit space.
"Destroy the caveman and reward 5 hedrons;
Return the relics of the villagers and reward 10 spars;
Plug the cracks to solve the aftermath and reward the deformed stone;
Complete the task without damage and reward the essence of stone milk;
Total Quest Rating S, Reward Attribute Points 3, Crystal 30, S-Rank Medal"
This mission is really S-class again, she faintly expected it, the caveman monster she met this time has a high resistance to physical attacks, and her spell attack just restrained it.
She has bug-eyed night vision goggles, which allow her to see in dark caverns, which is much less of an obstacle.
The only threat is the caveman's Iwato camouflage skills, but since her perception has crossed the 20-point threshold, her reaction speed has become much faster and she has become more sensitive to her surroundings.
At the moment when the caveman monster attacked, Xiao Hei's reminder and her own senses made her sense of the abnormality, coupled with the effect of this time and the image battle, the correct choice of the Sanctuary Technique gave her time to adjust.
Chen Mian had obtained an S-rank medal again, she didn't rush to use it, the only thing that could be exchanged for a medal was the primary perfect healing, which might be useful to her.
However, the normal-level task should not cause her to be seriously injured, and the primary perfect treatment can only be used in the personal transit space, Chen Mian plans to save the medal first, and it will be too late to use it later when necessary.
Moreover, Chen Mian was a little curious, what else was there to exchange for items with higher prices, you know, just a primary simulation training space had made her grow a lot.
3 free attribute points, Chen Mian continues to add them to Intelligence, reaching 26. The increase in her intelligence attribute will increase the strength and damage of her spells, which is undoubtedly the most important thing for her, a mage whose attack power comes from spells.
The two items awarded this time are both special-grade, one is a palm-sized multicolored stone, and the other is a milky white drop of water wrapped in an unknown transparent soft film.
Chen Mian checked the information of the colorful stones, "Morphed stone (special grade): It can freely change into stones of various shapes, with a total volume of up to three cubic meters, as long as it is not smashed into powder at one time, it can automatically return to its original state after one day." ”
"Is a shape-shifting stone really just a shape-shifting stone?" Chen Mian thought it was a stone that could make her transform, but she quickly thought of a few ways to use it.
First of all, it can be turned into a stone wall to protect her, and even leave a few small holes in it as an exit for her to cast spells, and it will become a ready-made fortress.
Although the total volume of three cubic meters is not large, the space left inside can always be expanded by a few meters, and it can become a small house that can accommodate her.
The milky white water droplets are soft and elastic when pinched, "Stone Milk Essence (Special Grade): A drop of essence condensed for a hundred years of stone stalactites in Qingquan Cave, after eating, the physique is +1, effective for the first time, and effective for the physique below 20 points." ”
After seeing the item information, Chen Mian was pleasantly surprised, he could actually increase his physique a little, although it was only effective for the first time, but it was just right for her.
Her current physique is 14 points, and the limit of her self-exercise can grow rapidly should be about 15 points, and she plans to wait until her physique reaches 15 points before using it.
With this reward, Chen Mian already has 218 spars, and he has to set aside some of the cards to buy Annie, which he has for the time being.
After packing up the rewarded items, Chen Mian left his personal transit space.
