Leah looked at the corpses on the ground, her expression slightly sad. They ultimately failed, and even though they were able to save the members of the caravan, they were unable to heal them of the necromantic magic in them, eventually causing them to become undead creatures.

Leah said, "There are more and more undead, and if we don't think about it, we will all die." ”

Fat Tiger said, "Don't worry, we will deal with those monsters and protect your town." ”

"Thank you. I'll take care of that here, and you go look for Ramford outside the gate, he knows the form best. ”

Gu Cheng left the Cattle Slaughter Hotel with the three of Fat Tiger, and as soon as he left the hotel, he heard two militiamen talking outside the door: "It's another group of poor people who have become undead creatures." Alas. Remember last week's investigative action? Sixteen militiamen went out, and only Ramford returned. ”

Another militiaman said, "We shouldn't have built a home in this cursed land at all, maybe Kane was right, even if we die, Diablo will still torment us." Only by leaving here will we have a chance of surviving. ”

"It's easier said than done. Look at the coward of the mayor, he would not have dared to leave Trisham without a militia escort. ”

"Hmph, a scum like him, who would want to help him."

"Perhaps, I heard that the mayor has a treasure in his hands, and he is willing to pay for it as long as he is willing to escort him away from Tristum."

"What treasure?"

"I don't know, it's said to be a treasure he got before he came to Tristom, Robbie had seen it by chance, and it was a sparkling gem."

"Gems?"

……

The sound of the two talking became smaller and smaller, but Gu Cheng and the others listened to it. Obviously, this is some side quest.

"How?" Fat Tiger looked at Gu Cheng and the others, the mission mode is a free exploration mode, and the Chosen One can enter the main quest or not, as long as he survives for 30 days. From the words of the two militiamen, it is obvious that the mayor can trigger an escort side quest.

Snow Eagle suggested, "Why don't you go to the mayor first?" I remember when I was escorting the wounded caravan back, the mayor was looking for someone to repair his carriage at the west gate. ”

"Then go and see." Fat Tiger didn't wait for Gu Cheng and Black Panther to speak, and made a decision directly.

So the four of them came to the west of the town first, and at the junction, they saw a carriage lying in the middle of the road, the horses had taken off their reins and were grazing on the side, and a bald middle-aged man was anxiously looking around the carriage.

The four of them stepped forward, and the mayor immediately greeted them.

"Hey, I know you, outsider, quick, go fix the carriage for me!" The mayor said in an extremely unceremonious tone.

The fat tiger smiled and said, "Fix it?" So that you can get out of here and into the bellies of those monsters outside the city? ”

"You talk to me like that! I'm the mayor here! Blame, what about monsters, I, I, I'm not afraid of those at all...... Monster! The mayor said the back, and his voice became trembling.

Gu Cheng snorted coldly on the side: "Since you are the head of a town, you should go to fight outside the city with the militia." Escaping is nothing but the work of cowards. ”

The mayor said angrily, "Are you crazy? This town is hopeless! Anyone with a little sense will want to leave! Are you going to help? ”

Fat Tiger said: "Is it a difference whether you help or not?" You have also seen the situation of our rescue caravan, this caravan hired more than thirty guards, and the result? There are only a few people who survived, and there are monsters everywhere outside, even if you fix the car, you are just the stomach of those monsters, and you will inevitably die in the end, so it is better to stay here. ”

"Ahh You are the Nephitians of Ramford's mouth! You've resisted the monsters twice! You're sure you'll be able to deal with those monsters! I command you to escort me out of Trisham and on my way to Rogue Town. The mayor suddenly remembered that Ramford had mentioned to him before that there was a group of demon hunters in the town, and they were extremely strong and had saved the town from danger several times, and he suddenly had the idea of letting them escort him.

"Escort you? Why? Fat Tiger asked with a smile, not at all angry at the mayor of the town's arrogant tone.

"Because I'm the mayor of a town here." The mayor said as a matter of course.

Fat Tiger spread his hands: "But you are about to leave here, and soon you will not be the mayor of the town." Besides, we're not Tristoms, so why should we listen to you? ”

The mayor was suddenly choked and speechless, and said angrily, "You guys...... You guys! But you're still in Trisham, so you have to listen to me! Otherwise, otherwise! I'll let the militia arrest you. ”

As if he had heard some joke, Gu Cheng snorted coldly: "Militia team? I'm sorry. Their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning at all. Don't forget, these attacks of undead creatures were solved by just a few of us, and the militia team didn't help in any way. ”

"That'...... Then as long as you are willing to escort me to Rogue Town, I will, I will pay you! ”

Fat Tiger asked, "What pay?" ”

"10 silver coins, I'll give you 10 silver coins by myself."

[Trigger the side quest "Escort" to escort the Mayor Mare from Tristemm to Rogue Town, rewarding XP x1000 and Dark World Silver x10.] Do you pick up tasks? Yes/No? 】

The four of them received the task at the same time, but the fat tiger waved his hand at everyone and said in a low voice: "Don't worry. ”

Don't say it's not in a hurry, Gu Cheng didn't plan to take on the task just by looking at this pitiful reward. But unlike Gu Cheng, a Chosen One like Fat Tiger who has already experienced the mission world, they know that side quests like this can be "negotiated with the plot characters".

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this, the advantage is that if the negotiation is completed, the task reward will increase, on the contrary, if the negotiation collapses, the task will be gone.

However, Gu Cheng and the four of them heard the "inside story" at the door of the hotel, and obviously they would not easily accept the mayor.

"Calling Hanako? If you don't show sincerity, then there's no need to talk about it. I can even think that you are humiliating us and ruining your carriage, and no one can do anything to us! Give you one more chance, take out something of value, and we'll escort you away. Fat Tiger still had a smile on his face, but the mayor didn't feel peaceful about the smile, but felt very infiltrating.

The mayor struggled for a while, took out a thumb-sized purple gem from his bosom, and said, "That...... If you are willing to escort me away, I will give you this gem. ”

[Trigger the side quest "Escort" to escort the Mayor Mare from Tristemm to Rogue Town, rewarding XP x1000 and purple enchanted gems x1 (the gem can be used for any offensive/auxiliary weapon to gain the effect of +10 stamina). This quest is the only quest, and other Chosen ones will not be able to trigger it after receiving it. Yes/No? 】

[This task has been accepted.] 】

As soon as Gu Cheng's task prompt was halfway through, the task had already been taken. When he looked up, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the black panther.

Obviously, this task was directly taken by Fat Tiger or Snow Eagle.

Snow Eagle asked, "Who took the task?" ”

Fat Tiger was stunned for a moment with a simple smile and asked, "I took it, didn't you all take the task?" I saw that the effect of the gem was quite good, so I took it, why didn't you take it? ”

Scold.

Gu Cheng sneered in his heart.

Fortunately, when he was in the Cattle Slaughter Hotel, he noticed that Fat Tiger was not as simple as it seemed, and he wanted to find a reason to leave this temporary team, but he didn't expect a small enchanted gem to make Fat Tiger appear in his original form.

Snow Eagle said unhappily: "You can take a good look at the mission introduction!" ”

Fat Tiger was stunned for a moment, and then said in a panic: "Ah! It's actually the only task.,My fault my fault.,I only saw the gem.,Thinking that the gem attribute is good.,Anyway, I have to take it.,I didn't read the rest of the content.。 I didn't expect it to be picked up by one person. So be it. Since everyone is a team, it is natural to do tasks together. After the deed is done, I will take the gem and give you another 600 days of life as a reward, what do you think? ”

The panther turned around and left.

[The Chosen "Panther" breaks away from Temporary Squad "1.] 】

Gu Cheng looked at the back of the black panther, and felt a little happy in his heart, this person didn't give the fat tiger any face...... It's kind of interesting.

Fat Tiger didn't expect the panther to give him no face at all, the expression on his face stiffened, and he said sincerely: "600 days of life, it's enough to buy an ordinary bronze-level equipment, isn't this okay?" Old black is too ...... Too...... It's ......"

The fat tiger has not come out of his way for a long time, but Gu Cheng sneered in his heart, even you said that you can only buy one bronze-level equipment, not to mention three people? Besides, although this enchanted gem only has +10 stamina, it can be attached to any weapon, which is worth as much as a piece of superb bronze equipment!

"In that case, then Fat Tiger, you can go on a mission first, I'll walk around the town first, and when you come back, we'll continue to work together." Gu Cheng did not withdraw directly from the team like the Black Panther, but was a little tactful, which can be regarded as leaving a way back.

After all, Fat Tiger is still in his friends column, although his style is not good, and the person is not as simple as it seems, but at least he can answer some world rules that he is not clear to Gu Cheng.

Fat Tiger was embarrassed: "But...... If you don't come with me, the experience rewards for triggering derivative tasks like 'Clearance', "Guard", "Defense", etc., during the mission, will be divided equally according to the head of the team......"

Fat Tiger didn't finish speaking, but Gu Cheng also understood what he meant. To put it simply, if he doesn't follow, if he "hangs up" in the city, if the fat tiger escorts him to encounter an undead creature attack on the way, he will successfully resist this kind of "derivative mission", and the experience points are divided equally according to the head of the temporary team. If he doesn't make a difference, he shouldn't take this experience.

Scold.

This fat man is very good, but he doesn't lose at all.

"In that case, I'll leave the team first, and you'll add me when you come back after you finish your mission." Gu Cheng proposed again.

A smile suddenly appeared on the fat tiger's face: "Okay." Brother Gao, I'm really sorry, this time it was my mistake, I will definitely compensate you next time. ”

"Thank you in advance." Gu Cheng withdrew from the team: "Then I'll go to the town first, and we'll see you later." ”

"Okay." Fat Tiger nodded, turned his head and lobbied Snow Eagle: "Snow Eagle, do you want to go on a mission with me?" I also took out a 600-day life ......"

Gu Cheng took advantage of the fact that the fat tiger was talking to Xue Ying, and used the "tracking" skill at him, and within 24 hours, he could grasp the whereabouts of the fat tiger.

He wanted to see if someone like Fat Tiger was willing to escort the mayor to Rogue Town for this little reward for his trustworthiness, or ...... Kill people halfway and cross goods.

However, Fat Tiger seems to have persuaded Snow Eagle, and the two began to think about how to fix the carriage for the mayor, but this is none of Gu Cheng's business, he is going to talk to Ramford first according to the plot.

As soon as she walked out of the intersection, a female villager stopped Gu Cheng, and she glared at Gu Cheng with an angry face: "You dare to help the mayor repair the car!" My brother's life is dead to defend the town, and this official-mouthed coward is trying to escape! No one in the town will accept you, just like we did when we excluded the mayor! ”

Gu Cheng spread his hands: "I didn't help him...... Besides, if I repaired his carriage and escorted him out of Trisham, would I still stand in front of you? ”

The female villager said suspiciously: "Can ...... But your companion is repairing his car. ”

"Who said they were my companions?"

"Aren't you all Nephilim?" The female villager became more and more confused.

Gu Cheng asked rhetorically, "Aren't you and the mayor also from Tristalm?" But so what, he chose to run away, and you chose to support your homeland. ”

"So...... They're like mayors? ”

Gu Cheng nodded seriously: "That's right." There is a saying in our East that things gather like people in groups, so they are not a good thing. ”

The female villager suddenly realized: "I understand. I'll talk to the villagers about it. By the way, I heard from Kornar that there was a group of undead creatures attacking the town before, and it was thanks to you that you were able to defend it. I haven't had time to thank you yet. My name is Dani, yes, yes...... Konar's good friend, who runs a restaurant in the town and can come and visit if you need it. ”

Dani's face flushed at the mention of Conal, apparently the relationship between the two was not "good friends" as she had suggested.

The two talked a few more words, and after Gu Cheng asked the specific location of the restaurant, Dani said goodbye to Gu Cheng, but when she left, she muttered: "The dead have come out of the tomb, this must be the end of the world." I don't know how long Tristurm will last, and I don't want to leave the home where I was born and raised. ”

Gu Cheng looked at Dani who was leaving, and felt a little funny in his heart, not knowing what Fat Tiger's expression would be when he came back and found that Trisham's people treated them like the mayor of the town.

I don't know if it will affect them to take the task, but if it does, it will be fun.

The fat tiger, who was sweating profusely in front of the carriage, never thought that before he even started the escort task, he was overshadowed and was about to be on the "blacklist" of Trissym.

Gu Cheng came to the main gate of the east exit of Trisham and asked about the location of the captain of the guard Ramford, who told him that Ramford was outside the city and asked him if he needed to open the town gate, but Gu Cheng waved his hand, took out the grappling hook gun and shot it above the wooden wall, grabbed it directly, and jumped over the wooden wall with a somersault.

This move stunned the surrounding guards and Ramford, who happened to be looking at the wooden wall and witnessing the scene.

Gu Cheng felt everyone's surprised gaze, and what he wanted was this effect. A free exploration mode like Mission World wants to show your strength and let the characters understand your strength, so that you can take the initiative to give yourself the task.

As for what is low-key and hidden strength, what age is this, and who would be so stupid to hide strength.

People who are worried about being targeted, it's just that their strength is not strong enough.

Since Gu Cheng came to the Infinite World, his mentality has changed drastically. Caution is the right thing to do, but that's in the face of danger.

But in the face of an enemy or opponent, you are mad, I am mader than you, you are insidious, I am more insidious than you...... The process is not important, what matters is the ending, who can stand at the end.

If it weren't for the fact that Fat Tiger was still valuable to him, otherwise with his mind to make up his mind on himself, Gu Cheng directly greeted him with an antimatter energy bomb.

Ramford greeted him and asked, "Why are you out again?" ”

Gu Cheng briefly talked about what happened in the cattle slaughtering hotel, and when he heard it, Ramford looked sad and sighed: "I didn't expect it...... In the end, they were not saved. As Leah said, there are more and more undead creatures in the vicinity of Tristum, which means that it is becoming more and more dangerous. Can we really hold on to our homes? ”

"I'll help you. But what can I do to help defeat the Resurrection King? Perhaps, if you solve the source, you can solve these undead creatures. ”

"We admire your courage, you remind me of Captain Dalton," Rumford said. It's just that...... During the investigation a week ago, Captain Dalton and the militia were killed by the monsters. I was the only one who escaped. ”

"Don't worry, I'll avenge them."

Ramford nodded and said, "Well, I've seen what you're capable of...... Destroy the corpse mothers and their queens. It's that they keep spitting out these ...... Creepy stuff. ”

"Corpse Mother?" Gu Cheng was no stranger to this term, but he still asked it, thinking if he could get more information from Ramford.

Sure enough, Ramford explained to Gu Cheng in detail the reason for the infestation of undead creatures here.

The Corpse Mother is much larger than a normal zombie and feeds on corpses, eating them and transforming them through necromancy, before spitting out the more powerful "Miserable Zombies". Tragic Zombies are much faster and more powerful than normal zombies.

The failure of the cathedral's investigation mission was due to the fact that Dalton's team encountered a tragic zombie brigade led by a corpse queen, which led to heavy casualties, and Dalton died even more to cover Ramford.

"Them! They are attacking the barricades! Suddenly, a militiaman pointed behind the barricade in front of him and shouted.

Ramford pointed to a zombie behind the barricade that was twice the size of a normal zombie and said, "Look, that's one of the corpse mothers!" Follow this road all the way, there are many more around the ruins! Those corpse mothers must be eliminated as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on the defense. ”

[Trigger the main quest "Clearing the Corpse Mother", the remaining quantity is 3, the experience points for completing the task reward x1000, and the reputation of the Tristum militia x1000.] 】

Reward 1000 XP and reputation?

It's better than nothing, but Gu Cheng still chose to take the task. Although the Chosen One in the quest world is respectful of the main quest, which has similar rewards to the side quest but is several times more dangerous, Gu Cheng is very interested in the main quest.

He didn't believe that the system would be so boring, and set the rewards for the main quest to be lower than the side quests.

If it doesn't have a little advantage, what is it a "main quest"?
