Chapter 372: The Serial Quest Begins
……
……
The side quest "The Secret Medicine of the Forest" is actually not complicated, and the reason why it is difficult is that this chain of quests is too complicated.
The blonde girl tells the two the ins and outs of the story.
The story is not complicated, in this small village in the dense forest, the girl lives with her father, who is the best hunter in the whole village, never disappoints the others, and always comes back with the most prey, but one day, the hunter did not come back, and returned home covered in blood very late, and passed out directly.
The villagers told her that her father had encountered the "Vicious Sawworm" while hunting, a high-level rare elite monster with moderate toxicity, and that her father was now in a poisoned state, and she hoped that humans would help her heal his father.
The little girl kept sobbing while talking about the task, looking very sad but afraid of disturbing him and Kirito's emotions, so she couldn't hold back her sadness, which was very cute.
Compared to the rest of the village, her AI level is obviously much higher, almost like a GM playing, but after the death game starts, it is unlikely that there will be a GM.
"Are you surprised at how AI she is?" An Yi asked with a chuckle, Kirito was startled when he heard An Yi's words, and then said in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Could it be that she is played by GM?" ”
"Heh, if you were Akihiko Kayaba, would you allow a GM to appear in this kind of game?" An Yi sneered, and Kirito nodded approvingly.
"What kind of existence do you think artificial intelligence is?" An Yi asked suddenly.
"A kind of big data?" Kirito thought for a moment and replied, then remembered why he had talked to this guy.
The reason for this result,If you want to say it, it's probably [charm], even if you don't have a body, you're forcibly stuffed into the data, but the [charm] effect of the soul instinct can't be erased, you know, he's a "vampire", although it's weakened a lot, but it's still instinctive to make others relax their vigilance and have a good impression of the first impression, otherwise, ordinary people won't let their guard down when they see a suspicious figure wearing a black cloak covering their faces.
"Do you think they're just a kind of data?" An Yi said in a meaningful tone: "If human beings have souls, then why is their form of existence not like that? ”
"You want to say they're life?" Kirito's tone sneered a little: "It's just artificial intelligence, you're exaggerating." ”
"So, what is the difference between our current situation and artificial intelligence?" An Yi interrupted and said with a smile: "Without a body, all you touch and see is data, if artificial intelligence AI will also feel joy and sadness, what do you think they are?" ”
Whether artificial intelligence is life or not, Anyi has long been sure of this, and they are, but only on the premise that there is at least the possibility of awakening self-consciousness like Pandora.
At that level, it's just another life form made up of 0s and 1s.
"Forget it, it's useless to dwell on these things, let's do the task." Anyi stretched, touched the blonde girl's head, and turned away, leaving Kirito behind him with a thoughtful face.
He still hasn't said a word, that is, if it's you, sooner or later you'll meet one of these artificial intelligence to change your mind, and now this person is just a child, which makes Anyi a little disappointed, and sure enough, the protagonist who hasn't grown up is still a little boring.
There are a total of four rings in this task, according to Dosha, in order to create a medicine that can cure his father's poison, you must gather different materials, the first medicinal material is a plant fruit that is called [oil fir fruit], this fruit is actually a high-grade ingredient, there are several oil fir trees near here, but one thing must be noted, this fruit is also the favorite food of the big wild boar and the black bee monster, basically the area is often infested with these animals and insect monsters, the big wild boar and the black bee are the elite monsters of the wild boar and the wasp respectively, They're all lv.6 wild monsters.,Generally speaking, the number is not very large, but they gather there.,I really don't know how Kiritto in the original book did it.。
The second ring needs to find some herbs, this herb is not as difficult as the previous task, there are not many monsters around, but it is not simple, because their number is very small, and the appearance of this herb called [Sand Grass] is very similar to ordinary weeds, you must rely on luck and time to distinguish from the weeds, even with the help of the system, you have to touch one by one to show the name, this herb needs 15, if you put it up, maybe you can make a lot of money when this task is made public in the future.
The third ring is to hunt insect monsters such as wasps and worms, and after accepting this task, you can appear a MonsterDrop [Monster Drop] called [Worm Sac], the probability of this drop is very small, under normal circumstances, you need to farm ten insect monsters to drop one, and the number required for [Worm Cyst] is 30.
The last link is pure hard-hitting, players need to directly hunt the rare elite monster [Poisonous Sawworm], kill it to get the material called [Poisonous Insect Fang], its strength will adjust the data and the number of drops according to the number of raiders, in a sense, it is not very difficult, even if it is a lone player, as long as the level is raised, then it is not difficult.
It's that it takes a lot of time to upgrade, and time happens to be what Anyi lacks.
……
Outside the non-safe circle, there were a number of monsters around a few strangely shaped trees, four or five large wild boars much larger than the wild boars on the grassland, and fifteen swarms of thirty centimeters long man-eating wasps covered in pitch black.
"Slightly...... It's a bit tricky...... "Kirito hid behind the tree with a solemn face and looked at the scene in front of him, if it was in an ordinary game, he had many ways to get the fruit required by the mission, but the current situation is only one life, this is a game that cannot be resurrected, and he doesn't have the courage to gamble.
"It's only a little bit safer." Kirito took a deep breath and pulled open the skill bar, ready to learn the throwing skill, this is the strategy information he heard during the closed beta, although this method is very inefficient and time-consuming, but it is better to be safe.
"Oh, there seem to be a lot of monsters." The sudden voice of words made Kirito's fingers shake when he was about to click down, and he almost chose a chicken rib skill, wasting a skill slot.
"Why are you here!" Kirito lowered his voice and asked, looking at An Yi, a strange man dressed in a black cloak, who suddenly appeared behind him.
"Mission done." An Yi blinked innocently: "Speaking of which, don't you think about my proposal at the beginning again?" ”
"What a proposal."
"Collaborate, you don't want to spend too much time, right?"
