Chapter 13: Pamela's Request
Lin Xiao woke up from her sleep.
The ringtone, which should have been pleasant, was particularly harsh in such an early morning, and he touched the phone next to his pillow, it was Su Yi, and Lin Xiao hung up decisively.
In some ways, Su Yi is still a good girl, but she is too clingy.
It's been three days, every morning, noon and evening every morning, noon and evening, this girl seems to have set the alarm clock, and she will call him on time, which makes Lin Xiao have a headache.
"I don't mind if being an ex-boyfriend makes you feel more exciting."
That's what she said at the time.
There is a cat cake.
Lin Xiao threw the phone aside, stretched, and habitually called out the system interface.
All things considered, the Daily Quest hadn't improved for five days, and he suspected that it might be a problem with the time period, and even left the refresh until the morning.
Only the tenth level can break through, and only the new rank can cooperate with the new identity brought by the [Awakening Certificate], stuck in such an embarrassing stage at the moment, which makes Lin Xiao a little angry.
I can't be so dark. He frowned and began the task refresh.
"Z-z-"
There was a strange sound of electricity, and then on the originally refreshing interface, suddenly snowflakes as dilapidated as old TV sets appeared.
The interface jumped twice, and it quickly returned to normal, but the difference was that on the task turntable, a dialog box popped up -
"Hello intruder......"
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, the yawn that opened his mouth halfway through was frozen there, and he blinked his eyes vigorously, even thinking that he had just woken up and misunderstood.
When I opened my eyes again, the dialog box was gone, and the scrolling task wheel was as usual, calm and unsimmering.
Such an accident made him stunned for a while, and Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't be wrong.
Is it a hidden easter egg in the game? But I've never heard of it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xiao still didn't have a clue, so Lin Xiao decided to put this matter aside for now.
The task refresh was completed, but fortunately he didn't disappoint him this time, and finally waited for the rare task that he hadn't seen for a long time, the bottom of the three tasks listed, and the last one-
Side Story Mission: Explore [Camp of the Watchmen] (Countdown 23:59:52).
[Description: In the perennial ice and snow of the Pandara Mountains, there is a group of people stationed, maybe someone has seen it, or maybe not, guests from a distant foreign land, do you hear the moving singing......]
[Quest rewards: Judgment and settlement will be based on the degree of plot unlocking.] 】
Lin Xiao frowned, this was a completely unfamiliar task.
Although the world view of "Annogus" is very complex, and there are many side plots like this, but in more than two years of game career, not to mention doing it, I have never heard of the branch line of [Camp Watchmen].
Fortunately, it is certain that the side quests of the plot are generally not too dangerous, and there are not many links that need to be achieved by combat.
He opens the in-game store, the in-game currency item.
The [Advanced Recovery Elixir] and [Advanced Blue Recovery Elixir] priced at 1000 each bought ten sticks, and bought a little [Cold Resistant Elixir], and Lin Xiao, who is currently "wealthy", will not be stingy with this as a necessity for protection.
After getting up, Lin Xiao added a few thick clothes.
Although he was out of place in the current season, he certainly noticed the ice and snow mentioned in the mission description, after all, unlike in the game, he was now a real flesh and blood.
Time was running out, and after stuffing some breakfast indiscriminately, Lin Xiao, who was eager to upgrade, immediately started the task.
In the line of sight, there was a distorted blur, and finally it returned to flatness.
The silver white that caught the eye almost filled the entire world, and everywhere the eye could see, there was not a single impurity except for the snow.
A majestic snow-capped mountain stood in front of Lin Xiao, and his feet were in the snow, almost below his knees.
just got used to the visual impact of this piece, and then the biting chill surged in, making Lin Xiao in a down jacket shiver.
He took out a bottle of cold resistance and drank it, which made him feel more comfortable.
Lin Xiao didn't stay in place for too long, and after choosing a random direction for climbing, he took a step and began to climb with difficulty.
There isn't much time left for him, and if he can't find the key point of the trigger mission in another 24 hours, then this loop side quest will be wasted.
He was reluctant.
The cold and the obstruction of ice and snow accelerated the consumption of physical strength, and after more than an hour, even with Lin Xiao's current physique, he still felt a little strained, and his breathing became heavy.
He stopped, turned around and looked down the mountain, and it seemed that he had only climbed a vertical distance of more than a thousand meters.
He patted his somewhat frozen face, and was about to continue, when suddenly he heard a crisp singing voice coming from the side not far away.
It was an ethereal, gentle voice.
"I like your silence, as if you're gone,
You hear me from afar, and my voice cannot touch you.
As if your eyes have flown away,
It's as if a kiss closes your mouth.
Like everything fills my heart,
You emerge from it and fill my heart.
Butterfly in my dream, you are like my heart,
It's like a melancholy ......"
Lin Xiao knew in his heart that if nothing else, this should be the singing voice mentioned in the mission introduction.
He hurriedly quickened his pace and walked in the direction where the song came from.
Getting closer and closer, it didn't take a moment, and when Lin Xiao already felt close, the singing stopped abruptly.
He stopped in front of a stone wall that had been erected, and Lin Xiao was sure that the person who was singing was on the back side.
He touched forward lightly, perhaps the whistling wind covered his footsteps, until Lin Xiao stretched his head over the stone, and the man was still facing away from the direction here, and he didn't seem to notice his arrival.
It's a small figure to the eye.
The white gauze skirt matches the scenery here, but it doesn't fit in with the climate here.
Her long blond hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, and she sat there in the form of a girl, as if the ice and snow had not brought her the slightest chill.
"Hello, excuse me."
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and greeted politely.
"Ahh
The girl turned her head like an electric shock, and her delicate body shrank back sharply, and she turned around and leaned against the stone tremblingly, obviously startled.
Only then did Lin Xiao see clearly that it was a little face that I had seen pity, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, even smaller than Xiaoxiao.
The small lip flap, the pretty nose bridge, and even more difficult to take off the eyes are the pair of transparent eyes - almost white pupils, only the corners have some light blue lines.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
Lin Xiao spoke softly, and the doll-like girl in front of him gave him the illusion that it would shatter if he touched it.
"No, no—I was rude."
After coming out of the initial fright, the girl was first surprised, and then showed more surprise, she smiled brightly, as if she was so happy to see Lin Xiao.
"I really didn't expect anyone to come, I—I'm just a little unaccustomed, my name is Pamela."
Pamela folded her hands on the gauze skirt that covered her legs, bowed slightly, and responded politely, but she didn't mean to get up.
Lin Xiao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"My name is Lin Xiao." He whispered.
The girl's eagerness was beyond Lin Xiao's expectations, she reached out to hold Lin Xiao's hanging arm, and said very excitedly:
"I'm really, really glad to meet you, it's been too long since I've seen anyone pass by here, Mr. Lin Xiao, although it's a reluctant invitation, but if you want to continue to go up, can you please do me a favor?"
Lin Xiao was a little puzzled, how long would it be too long? This is clearly not a place to stay for long.
However, he still suppressed this thought, after all, he was here for the task, and there was no need to dwell too much on these settings.
A dialog box pops up in front of you.
[Is the trigger task "Pamela's Request" accepted?] 】
"It's not in line with my schedule, and I'm happy to help."
The joy on Pamela's face was even greater, she let go of her hand and touched it into her arms, and when her fingertips swept the back of Lin Xiao's hand, there was a trace of coolness without the slightest temperature, and Lin Xiao's fingers jumped unconsciously.
She rummaged for a while, and then a letter and a delicate pendant were handed to Lin Xiao.
"That's it, please give this letter to Mr. Elommel on the top of the mountain along with the pendant, he will understand, and if it is convenient, please pass by here when you go down the mountain, and inform me of the result, please!"
She clasped her hands together and prayed to Lin Xiao sincerely.
Lin Xiao nodded, stuffed the pendant and envelope into his pocket, looked at the top of the mountain that was still out of reach, and asked a little uneasily:
"You're here alone, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Pamela smiled warmly, as if even the ice and snow in front of her could melt.
