The novice village is located between the steep mountains, and there are many upright pines and cypresses scattered among the uneven rock piles, and when you look down from the cliff edge, you can vaguely find a few squirrels shuttling between the trees.

The mountains seem to sit on the clouds, and the cliffs are bottomless.

I don't know who first put forward the theory, jumping off the cliff and not dying, there will be a blessing. So much so that new and old players jumped from the top of the mountain without hesitation as soon as they entered the game, and then they were sent to the game underworld by a conveyor belt, and they could only be reincarnated after waiting in line for three hours.

Leaving the edge of the cliff, you can see a square-shaped novice village composed entirely of golden thatched houses, the old man with a childish face stands at the entrance of the village kindly, and the dialog box above his head reads: Waiting for you to come, I am the old village chief.

After Xi Luo created the character, he was sent to this place by a conveyor belt that fell from the sky.

When he got closer, he found that the old village chief was surrounded by several men and women who were constantly talking to him. The people came and went in a hurry, except for a tall and thin young man, who lingered for a long time and did not leave.

"What do you do when you cut down the osmanthus trees in the village?" The young man stood in front of the village chief, asking questions constantly.

"The severed heads of osmanthus trees will be made into different ornaments according to your wishes, and this ornament will accompany you throughout your future adventures." The old village chief's answer didn't need to be thought, it seemed like an answer prepared in advance.

"Then why the osmanthus tree? Osmanthus is so fragrant, don't you consider leaving it to purify the air? ”

The smile on the lips of the old village chief was vaguely disgusted: "Since ancient times, osmanthus has symbolized the meaning of 'chastity', and those who fly yellow and soar are even called 'Zhegui'." The osmanthus tree in our village will grow again when it falls, and it will grow again and fall again, like reincarnation, endlessly. ”

"Oh, so do the people in your village often eat osmanthus cakes? Do you have anyone who makes it particularly delicious? The man asked tirelessly.

"Who planted the first osmanthus tree, only one was planted in such a large village, don't you feel heartache when it is cut down?"

"Why was the village built on the top of a hill? I searched for a long time and didn't see the way down the mountain, did you all fly up? By the way, wouldn't it be strange that you named the village a beginner's village? I think Osmanthus Village is also very good. ”

……

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang Tang. You've got in the way of the adventurers behind you who are claiming the quest. The old village chief tried to keep smiling.

"It's okay, you send the task first, and we'll continue to talk after sending it." Tang Tang's words blurted out, but unfortunately ignored the old village chief's stiff face.

The old village chief looked at Xi Luo, who had been waiting behind Tang Tang for a long time, and said politely: "Miss Xi Luo, your task is to cut down the osmanthus tree in the village and give the wood to Lao Li, a carpenter who lives in the west of the village, and he will help you complete the polishing." ”

"Okay."

The prompt in his ear tells Xi Luo that he has taken over the task, and the reward for the task is a small amount of experience points and a cinnamon carving.

"Ding, the old village chief has issued you a hidden mission to drive away the troublesome adventurer Tang Tang, do you accept it?"

"What is the reward for my mission?" Xi Luo glanced at the old village chief, who was still kind and kind, and felt that this game was not as boring as he imagined.

"Quest rewards, rare costumes, neon costume dance costumes x1, can increase the initial appearance by 10%."

Xi Luo appeared in front of his eyes a phantom of a woman with beautiful eyebrows and dancing dances, and the blue-purple dress sprinkled on the ground was even more beautiful, and it was very dazzling with golden special effects when dancing.

"Deal!" Xi Luo's eyes were slightly bright, if this dress is sold, it will be at least more expensive than one or two packs of melon seeds, right?

Xi Luo, who took over the task, calmly flipped up his backpack, and didn't give novice weapons in ancient holographic games?

Tang Tang, who originally kept talking, was also attracted by Xi Luo's movements, this girl was even better looking than the female stars he saw when he attended the banquet, but she looked too indifferent and people didn't dare to approach.

"Your name is Tang Tang? Candy for sugar? Xi Luo's gray eyes fell on Tang Tang, this person was about twenty-three or four years old, quite tall, but his back looked a little thin and thin. The skin is very white, the peach blossom eyes are more obvious when laughing, and the only fly in the ointment is that there are many words.

Tang Tang, who was suddenly accosted, still felt flattered: "Yes, it's me." ”

"I'm sorry." Xi Luo bowed seriously and apologized, and then slapped Tang Tang on the back of the neck, if this scene happened in reality, the other party would definitely lose consciousness and fall on the spot, but at the moment, Tang Tang only lost one-third of his blood.

"Hey, how do you hit someone!" Tang Tang exclaimed and stepped back, not having the slightest idea of fighting Xi Luo head-on.

Xi Luo knew that this matter was difficult to explain, so he could only solve it quickly. Probably because her speed was too fast, before Tang Tang could fully react, the blood bar had already dropped below 0, and the character's body gradually turned gray, and disappeared in place in the next second.

"Solved."

"Good, good." The old village chief's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he finally sent the chatter away, and he could stop for a full three hours!

"Ding, the rare costume - the neon dance costume has been placed in the backpack." The reward was in hand, Xi Luo felt extremely relaxed, and just wanted to leave, but his wrist was grabbed by the person who came out behind him.

Tang Tang, who originally went to the underworld, didn't know why he returned to the novice village again.

"Hey, I still can't figure it out, why are you hitting me?" Tang Tang was full of indignation, "I spent 200,000 gold coins to buy twenty-five resurrection cards in the underworld shop, don't be impulsive, if you kill me once, I will be resurrected once, and if you don't give an explanation, I will be entangled with you." ”

Xi Luo glanced at the old village chief and hesitated slightly, anyway, the rewards are all in hand, and there is no rule that he can't be exposed, right?

The old village chief was stunned by Xi Luo's staring, and a hint of pleading appeared in his eyes, don't let this ancestor continue to bother me.

"Ding, the old village chief has issued you a hidden mission - to keep the true cause of death secret from Tang Tang. Remarks: Quest rewards, rare equipment, glow-in-the-dark cloud boots x1. When killing monsters, the speed can be increased by 100 tenths. ”

"Whatever you want, you can entangle it if you want." Xi Luo shook off Tang Tang, who was holding him, manually entered the free trade panel of 'Third Life', released two equipment sales information, and walked straight towards the entrance of the village.

Tang Tang was choked for a moment, but still chose to follow: "Hey, I remember that your game name is Xi Luo." Do you wear contact lenses for your eyes, or are you of mixed race? ”

"Ten thousand gold coins for one question."

As soon as Xi Luo's words came out, Tang Tang immediately stopped talking, originally Xi Luo thought that he would be so quiet, but how did he suddenly reply, "How do you know that my family has money?" ”

"Ten thousand gold coins." Xi Luo said, picked up an axe from the firewood pile, and began to walk towards the osmanthus tree in the village.

"I see that the forum says that the osmanthus tree in the novice village is particularly difficult to cut, and an adult strong man needs to cut at least seven or eight axes before he can ......."

Xi Luo didn't pay attention to Tang Tang at all, and when he saw a point, he made a move, and when the axe fell, the osmanthus tree fell easily.

"Why did you only slash once!" Tang Tang rushed to the osmanthus tree in disbelief, this is really the osmanthus tree he knows?

Thinking so, Tang Tang picked up the axe that was thrown aside by Xi Luo, and also cut it down with all his strength at the newly grown osmanthus tree, but there was no movement......

The second blow was still silent, the axe almost fell on his foot, and there was a low laugh from the players passing by.

"Through my friend's application, I will transfer you 10,000 gold coins!" Tang Tang is so angry, why can't he even bully him with an axe.

Xi Luo clicked on the background board in surprise, and in the dialog box in the upper right corner, there was really Tang Tang's application message, and after the friend passed, the 10,000 gold coins would arrive immediately.

"Now you can answer my question!"

Xi Luo thought deeply: "Why should I cut two slashes if I can solve things that can be solved with one slash?" ”
