Chapter 43: The Maiden

Burst!

Ye Ran, who was strolling, suddenly felt that his stomach had suffered an attack, and subconsciously merged into a sword finger, and the sword qi lingered on his fingertips, stabbing forward.

A light screen lit up to block Ye Ran's attack, and at this time Ye Ran looked down.

A tightly covered girl who looked like she was about one meter six looked at Ye Ran's slightly hissing fingertips with a hint of horror, although those fingers were blocked by the city's defense mechanism, they still brought a great sense of panic to the girl.

"That, that, I'm sorry!"

After stammering, the girl bowed to Ye Ran, looking at the green logo floating above the girl's head, Ye Ran understood that the opposite side was the aboriginal of this game, that is, the NPC. Because for Ye Ran, all players are red logos.

Silently withdrawing his sword finger, Ye Ran shook his head to show that he didn't care, and turned his body sideways and was about to walk away.

Smack...

The corner of Ye Ran's clothes was caught, and when he turned around, the girl just now looked at Ye Ran a little shyly, and when Ye Ran turned around, a trace of panic flashed on her face, and said, "Then that one, I'm looking for a bodyguard." ”

Task?

Ye Ran turned around and nodded, "Go on." ”

Maybe it was Ye Ran's flat expression that was different from other players that calmed the originally restless girl a little, and then said: "My name is my wife Ye, just call me Xiaoye......" quietly raised his eyes and looked at Ye Ran, and was relieved to see that Ye Ran's face was still calm.

Forget it, this name is too troublesome to complain about, so let's put it aside for now.

Motioning for Xiao Ye to continue, Xiao Ye calmed down and continued, "A few days ago, I found a map that was a little old in my grandfather's hand box... Ah, thank you. ”

"Hmm."

The two found a roadside tea pavilion and sat down, Ye Ran ordered two cups of this desert-specific drink, iced cactus juice, handed Xiao Ye a glass, and motioned to the girl to continue in Xiao Ye's thanks.

"Later, my friends and I went to explore a spot marked on the map."

"It was a ruin, and my friends and I had a lot of fun exploring it."

"But... All but me, all destroyed. ”

Xiao Ye said with a gloomy expression: "Not only that, but when I escaped back, I was also chased and killed by some strange people. ”

"So you want to hire a bodyguard?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Ye looked at Ye Ran hard, although Ye Ran didn't look very strong, but her intuition told her that Ye Ran was very strong, and Ye Ran was the first person to give her such an intuitive feeling.

Is that the crux of the side quest?

Ye Ran instantly thought of the prompt in his ears after stepping into the city just now.

"Well, then, what about the pay?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Ran with big eyes in a daze, and didn't react for a while.

"Huh?"

Ye Ran was also stunned for a moment, could it be that this girl didn't even know about the fact that the hired person needed to be paid.

"Wait..."

Xiao Ye hurriedly picked up his pocket, then poured out a few coins from the pocket on his waist, his eyes turned dull, and then the corners of his mouth pulled into a far-fetched smile, looking at Ye Ran with a little flattery.

"Don't you have any money..."

Ye Ran looked up and down the little night in front of him, and the girl opposite couldn't help but hug herself, trembling in Ye Ran's gaze, and said, "That, that, please, what are you looking at......"

Ye Ran muttered in disappointment: "This kind of poor figure, it is estimated that it can't be sold for a good price!" ”

In fact, the girl's whole body was tightly wrapped in a thick cloak, and she couldn't see anything other than her face, but Ye Ran couldn't help but feel bad when she saw the other party trembling like a small animal.

"Where, where...... Where is the poverty!! ”

Xiao Ye suddenly slapped the table and stood up, lifted the cloak, revealing her cloak-covered figure, and said loudly: "I'm so good, a seventeen-year-old girl with normal development!" Even if it's a boob, even if it's a boob... Woo..."

"Hah..."

Ye Ran, who was a little frightened by Xiao Ye's fierce reaction, couldn't help but retreat slightly, and carefully looked at Xiao Ye, well, the face is still quite beautiful, and the figure is slender, but the chest is really not big.

Babbling...

Xiao Ye's violent reaction caused the players around her to whisper.

"Calm down... That's not the point. ”

Ye Ran's words reached Xiao Ye's ears, and the girl was shocked to realize what she had done, and she couldn't help but bow her head in shame, fold her cloak, sit down shyly, and said, "I'm sorry for making you laugh." ”

"So, what about the pay?"

Strange girl, Ye Ran, who labeled Xiaoye with this label, asked again, for him, there were two choices, one was to rob the girl's map, and the other was to go with the girl as a bodyguard.

Of course, neither of these choices mattered to Ye Ran.

"Why are you so entangled in the reward!"

"Because I'm going to eat!"

“……”

The reason for being too realistic made Xiao Ye silent for a while, but now she didn't have much money on her, but she just wanted to sigh. In fact, along the way, she also encountered several waves of enthusiastic help from players. Because one NPC is hunted down by another wave of NPCs, no matter how you think about it, it is the key to the start of the mission.

But Saya still refuses them because they look weak.

"I don't have any money..."

Seeing that Ye Ran was about to leave his seat, Xiao Ye hurriedly said, "But, but I have something..."

Ye Ran's eyes changed, and he cruised around Xiaoye again, and sighed in disappointment: "I really can't sell it for a good price..."

"Who, who said this!!"

Xiao Ye is a little crazy, what's going on with this person!

She took out a crystal and handed it to Ye Ran, Ye Ran took it, her eyes flashed, and after being silent for a while, she nodded to Xiao Ye and said, "Okay, this reward is enough." ”

Crystals are simple, the name is energy crystals, and the function is, to provide various energy conversions.

Various energy conversions?

Ye Ran was running the sword cultivation technique, and he saw that in the field of vision in the upper right corner, the sword yuan began to grow little by little, although the speed was very slow, but it was indeed growing.

"Do you know this crystal? I picked up this crystal from that ruin..."

Xiao Ye was also a little reluctant to look at the crystal handed to Ye Ran, although she didn't know much about this, but her superior intuition told her that this was definitely a good thing.

"Then let's go and get ready for the desert."

Without answering Xiao Ye's question, Ye Ran just motioned for Xiao Ye to lead the way to buy things, but as soon as he took a step, he remembered another thing.

He doesn't have much money.

But.

Ye Ran's eyes turned to the right, from just now, he felt a strange gaze staring at him and Xiao Ye, it seems, this is the person Xiao Ye said was chasing her, so...

"Now, bargains..."

"Who, who's a bargain! I'm telling you, don't look at me like this, I'm also very popular! ”

"Okay, okay, anyway, you go out of the city first."

"Oh, huh? Am I alone? For what? ”

"I don't have any money, you go and be bait."

"Wait for me, wait for me in every sense, why don't you have any money, I'm going to be bait! It's dangerous, it's going to die! ”

"Alright, hurry up."

"Eh, ......"

Xiao Ye's cry echoed through the street, bringing a burst of curious glances from passers-by.
