Chapter 4: Chance Encounters

"You know me?" Ye Ran looked at Karin, who was smiling opposite, and he keenly felt that the other party seemed to know him.

"Well, I know you." Karin's smile faded, and looking at Ye Ran's expression, Ye Ran couldn't guess her thoughts: "The young man who came out of nowhere." Ye Ran couldn't tell what words Karin's expression should be used when she said this.

Sad?

Miss?

Wrath?

No, it's neither, this is an expression that Ye Ran has never seen in his life, and this feeling makes him almost unable to breathe. Ye Ran was sure that in his memory, he had never seen this girl named Karin.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on with me."

In response to Ye Ran's question, Karin just shook her head lightly and said seriously: "The task is released." ”

Backbite.

A task message suddenly popped up in front of Ye Ran.

[Mission: Retrieve the weapon lost in the gray forest by Karin, the grocery store manager, (00:00/06:00)]

[Hint: This is your first step, please work hard]

[Map module loading completed]

【Life System Loading Completed】

In Ye Ran's field of vision, a long green strip suddenly appeared, and there was no information on it except for the bare strip. At the same time, a map appears in the field of view that is represented only by a gray module.

Ye Ran took a deep look at Karin, and he understood that he would definitely not get any other information from Karin.

So he ran out of the city without hesitation.

Karin watched Ye Ran's departure, sighed, looked at the sky, and silently lay down to continue sleeping.

The sky was gradually darkening, and Ye Ran also met several waves of players who were leveling up along the way, and he also understood some things from their discussions.

Some of the settings such as night monsters increase their stats and experience at the same time.

The air at night can gradually become refreshing, Ye Ran has been practicing martial arts all year round, although his body is no different from ordinary people at the moment, but before he went out, he still used the only remaining Keer to buy what he was used to, boxing gloves.

Although it was the cheapest weapon, since the weapon system of this world realm also worked on Ye Ran, Ye Ran still felt that his hands were a little stronger.

After going out of the city and fighting for a while, Ye Ran saved some Keer again, and when he returned to the city, he changed the clothes and shoes on his body, of course, it was also the lowest-grade. Originally, these equipment would be given away when the characters were established in this game, but who made Ye Ran a stowaway.

It's not that Ye Ran doesn't want to fight monsters slowly for a while and put on better equipment, but that time count is like a life-urging charm, although Ye Ran hasn't played much of the game, but he has a strong intuition, if he can't complete the task within the time limit, I'm afraid something quite bad will happen.

This is a premonition for no reason, this premonition has no basis, but it has helped Ye Ran many times in his previous life.

Ye Ran was able to master thirty-six kinds of boxing techniques at the age of seventeen, and it was inseparable from this kind of premonition called intuition.

After changing all the equipment and buying some field tools, Ye Ran glanced at the time count in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

(01:15/06:00)

The sky had completely darkened, and there was an unsettling atmosphere in the air, Ye Ran stood at the gate of the city, watching the waves of players who were training outside, and returned to the city with a serious face. No matter how high the psychological quality of these players is, after all, this kind of thing has happened, and they rarely have the courage to dare to level up at night with only one life left.

Click on the map, and on the left side of the simple map, the location of the gray forest is greatly marked.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone returning to the city, Ye Ran turned around and ran towards the location of the gray forest.

The breath at night was not as refreshing as during the day, and it was even a little sticky, and along the way, Ye Ran even encountered the attack of the monster boar that was originally not actively attacking, and his red eyes were glowing with a slightly unsettling aura.

Ye Ran, who had changed into a suit of equipment, was like a shotgun changing a gun, and his previous boxing techniques were becoming more and more smooth.

When solving the seventh wave of monsters, Ye Ran's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he reached out to grab a piece of meat.

Ingredients.

The thing that attracts Ye Ran the most about this game, as a person who can be called an expert in boxing, is also very good at this kind of ingredients. Anyway, he had worked hard for a while on these ingredients.

B-grade ingredients, wild boar, low explosion rate.

I found a leeward place, patrolled left and right, very good, there is no blame in this vicinity, safe.

Ye Ran collected some wood from the surroundings, lit it, took out a knife, a folding shelf, a small pot, some dried vegetables, and several packets of condiments from his pocket, and began to get busy.

Time passed little by little, and Ye Ran's eyes were firmly fixed on the fragrant pot in front of him, completely ignoring the time that was advancing above his vision.

"I'm moving!"

Taking out a small bowl, Ye Ran filled a little soup and tried the taste first.

"Hmm......" delicious! Ye Ran's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the ingredients in this game to be so delicious, and they were fresher and chewy than the so-called pure natural taste, which really surprised him and at the same time felt really good to come to this world.

"That..."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from next to Ye Ran, and Ye Ran, who was squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, made a move, his body tensed, and he raised his head.

"Girls?"

"Man!"

"Nonsense! I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

"Really! Don't just deny someone else's gender! ”

The soft short black hair was on his head, and his big eyes, which were a little weak, narrowed under the anger of his master, and then looked at Ye Ran a little embarrassed, and said, "That, can you..."

Ye Ran nodded, moved a little position, and motioned for the other party to sit down.

The young man was not polite, he took out a bowl, filled a bowl, took a sip, and praised intoxicatedly: "It's delicious!" ”

"Of course."

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Kirito, what about you?"

"Ye Ran."

Seeing Ye Ran enjoying the food on his face, Kirito couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't have any good things here, this should be used in exchange, this is what I got from the task of making the strongest pastry shop in the second village." ”

While speaking, Kirito took out a long piece of caterpillar bread, tapped it lightly, and a light screen popped up, and the bread was divided into two pieces, and he took one of them and handed it to Ye Ran.

Ye Ran naturally took it unceremoniously, bit it, chewed it twice, and raised his thumbs up to Kirito, it was delicious!!

Food fronts are composed.

Looking at Ye Ran's expression of enjoyment, Kirito grinned the corners of his mouth, and the two fell into silence and slowly enjoyed the food.

In the process of eating, Kirito kept observing Ye Ran, he felt that Ye Ran appeared here quite strangely, and there was no player's logo on his head, but if he was an NPC, Kirito couldn't feel the stiffness of an NPC from Ye Ran.

For Kirito, Ye Ran didn't have the idea of revealing his situation, after all, for him, Kirito was just a passerby player who occasionally encountered.

When the two of them finished eating, under Kirito's strange gaze, Ye Ran picked up the tools on display and nodded at Kirito: "Then, I have another task next, so I'll go first." ”

Without waiting for Kirito to answer, Ye Ran continued to walk in the direction of the gray forest.

Looking at Ye Ran's back, Kirito fell into doubt.

It was the first time he had seen this kind of player who did not look like a player, and an NPC did not look like an NPC, which showed that the game was gradually changing, and the information he had before was still useful?

After a long time, after Ye Ran's figure completely disappeared, Tong Cai patted the dust and stood up, no matter what, he had to clear the game.

No matter what the game becomes!
