Chapter 5: I shouldn't have been naïve enough to believe that there would be welfare

"This world is really like a game. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Of course, this is not Su Wen's innocent moan, but his emotion of surprise at the system's data-from the "attributes" of the characters to the attack and defense of weapons and equipment, and then to the prestige system that has appeared today, God knows how the system came up with those data that could not be measured at all. This has led to Su Wen often having the illusion that he is not traveling to a real world, but is working on a large-scale game, doing tasks, making money, fighting monsters and upgrading......

Although the content of the mission is a bit uncomplimentary, it is just.

But I have to say that these indicators are really accurate enough, for example, after Su Wen achieved -5000 prestige, the effect of walking on the street was immediate. He could even clearly feel a vague hostility, and when he searched for the source of this hostility, he found that it was in all directions...... That's right, I don't know if it's the illusion brought by the system, or the accumulation in the past, although Su Wen in the past also bears the name of "Shame of Tridis", but this feeling of being disgusted has never been so clear!

"Look, look, that young man looks a little familiar, and he is still wearing the robes of the Academy of Magic, is he the guy who has been very popular recently?"

"Do you mean the 'urban metamorphosis' in the Tridis pictorial, it's really true if you look closely!"

“...... However, I heard that he is not mainly active in Xicheng District, why did he come to Beicheng District today? And he looks normal, is he really the kind of crazy person described in the newspapers?"

"This is indeed a true madman and pervert, you haven't seen that kind of scene with your own eyes, so don't be fooled by his appearance. I'm afraid the purpose of his coming here today is not that simple, keep an eye on him, I'll go and report the situation to the Sword of Judgment and hand it over to them to deal with!"

"Good brother!"

When passing through the bustling commercial avenue, Su Wen almost burst into tears when he heard the whispered conversation from the side of the street, and he couldn't help but feel that today's citizens are really enthusiastic and have learned to report the case in advance. Sure enough, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Su Wenming confessed that he has probably become an existence like an enemy of the people, even if he walks on the street neatly, he is very likely to be treated differently as a dangerous person.

"Five packs of rat poison... No, ten packs, thanks. ”

With this heavy heart, Su Wen walked into a grocery store and said to the owner.

It's rare that the system gave Su Wen a "normal" task, he wouldn't be stupid enough to chase rats in the sewers with a weapon, anyway, this task doesn't require a way to be carried out, and there is no time limit - that's right, unless the system specifically states that the time limit, although it is a daily task, it doesn't matter if it takes three or five days to complete. Of course, when Su Wen has Dailies on him, he can't pick up new Dailies at the same time, so he only has two options, either abandon the mission or finish it, or he will never get the income to redeem points.

However, with 300 redemption points plus a randomly enchanted weapon or piece of equipment, this reward is almost unprecedented for a system that has always been a door-picker, and the quest requirements are unprecedentedly simple. In this case, let's solve it in the simplest and most convenient way, and as for the specific method - of course, you have to use rat poison to kill rats, throw ten packets of rat poison into the sewer, let alone 5 mice, even 500 rats will not survive.

Although Su Wen always felt that the system might not be kind enough to release such a purely welfare task to him. But so far, he can't find a flaw in the task, so he has to take one step at a time.

Although Suvin is notorious in Tridis City, he is obviously not well known, such as the owner of the grocery store in front of him. The shopkeeper quickly wrapped the heavy rat poison and handed it to Su Wen, who felt inexplicably relieved that such a smooth transaction was made.

As soon as he finished paying, Su Wen planned to leave here quickly: God knows if those two guys just now would really call the Sword of Judgment, thinking of the group of crazy women who were tense when they met him, Su Wen's heart was cold - it was not the first time that he was surrounded and interrogated by them under normal conditions, but he was always searched for some unsightly bad things, and then he was thrown into prison for "deliberately endangering public order".

And at that moment, he heard a voice not far away.

"Mom, Mom, that big brother Ellie knows! He pretended to be a rabbit and ate a lot of turnips in the central square last week, and last week he dressed himself up like the magical girl in the comic strip, Ellie thinks he's so cute......"

Su Wen's heart was drunk when he heard the sweet Lolita sound, and he involuntarily turned around and found a little girl with blonde hair and two ponytails standing outside the grocery store. The little girl was excitedly pointing at Su Wen at this time, introducing this cute pervert to his mother Balabala. This scene made Su Wen suddenly have a tearful impulse, and immediately smiled heartily at the little girl - the pure gaze in her eyes was so beautiful that Su Wen couldn't even see the slightest disdain. Su Wen couldn't help but think that if he was surrounded by such lovely people, then he might not have to bear the charge of "the shame of Tridias......

But apparently, the little girl's mother was not so kind.

She glared at Su Wen fiercely, and that look really looked like she was looking at a piece of fresh stool. Then, she decisively stood between him and the excited little girl, cutting off the two sides from meeting their eyes.

"Don't look, good boy, you're going to learn bad!"

The mother whispered to her daughter, then gave up her plans to enter the grocery store and dragged her away.

'Tsk, that's a shame. ’

Although he understood that this was the treatment he deserved, Su Wen was still very disappointed.

And at the same time, he had already faintly heard the sound of running in a uniform formation, it must be the Knights of the Sword of Judgment who were gradually approaching here - Su Wen knew that if he stayed here any longer and didn't leave, then he was ready to go to prison: ten packs of rat poison was enough to be considered a dangerous item, and Su Wen didn't think that those female knights who hated themselves so much would reason with them and not make a fuss about them.

――――

As the only religious district in Tridia, the Place Saint Laurent is surrounded by two churches of light, north and south. There is a sacred and solemn atmosphere all day long, but like other cities in the northern continent, Trides does not have many followers who believe in the goddess of light, so in the Place Saint Laurent, except on the days of large festivals, the pedestrians who stop are sparse and deserted.

Standing on the edge of Place Saint Laurent, Suvin looked at the solemn stone sculptures in front of the church, vaguely remembering the scene where he had been chased by angry church priests a few months earlier. Hmm, what kind of mission did that time provoke the majesty of their goddess of light? Su Wen remembered that the church also dispatched two priests equivalent to the intermediate magician level to arrest him, but fortunately, he was very good at long-distance running, and rushed out of the Saint Laurent Square in a puff of smoke, so he was not arrested and punished in the confessional hall...... Well, it's been too long, Su Wen really can't remember what he did that time, definitely not because he didn't want to recall the past or something.

And today, of course, Su Wen did not come here to turn himself in. He was mainly trying to avoid hearing the news that had rushed to capture him with the Sword of Judgment, and there was also a very hidden sewer entrance and exit in this square, which could be easily accessed.

-- The coordinates of the entrance were still the ones the three James brothers had told him.

Although Su Wen, who entered the square, could still vaguely feel the hostile gaze coming from behind, the group of murderous pursuers quickly dispersed without too much entanglement. After all, no matter how powerful the authority is, it is not easy for the city law enforcers to intrude into the religious area to take people, and Su Wen is not an extremely dangerous criminal, so he has to give up. On the contrary, Su Wen even felt that they seemed to wish they were making trouble in Place Saint Laurent?

Ignoring this delusion, Su Wen sneaked into a small oak forest on the outskirts of the square while he hadn't been discovered by those clergy, and found a small iron door hidden in the weeds without much effort.

With the screeching sound of metal grinding, Su Wen forcefully pulled open the heavy iron door that had not been opened for a long time, and then saw a deep and vertical downward passage, as well as a row of iron ladders.

The sewer system of the city of Trides is as intricate as a labyrinth, with its extensive sewer system, which connects almost every major arterial road to the city. And worthy of being one of the most well-ordered cities in the Duolun Empire, these secret transportation hubs are not full of underground forces like other cities, and there are not often hallucinogens trade, violent crime, illegal smuggling and other shady things, at most there will be a few homeless homeless people who use this place as a temporary residence.

But the only thing that's the same as other city sewers is that it smells really bad.

With the dim glow of the long-lasting magical lights on the walls, Su Wen could faintly see the slow-flowing municipal wastewater in the artificial river, which contained countless kinds of filthy things and looked black and smelled of rotting and fermenting. At the same time, the filthy moisture in the sewers was everywhere, and the stone floors that Su Wen had trampled on were also covered with moss, and piles of moldy debris were scattered in the dark corners, looking extremely oppressive.

If it weren't necessary, Su Wen would come to this kind of place because his brain was burning.

But at this time, he had to try to hold his breath, carefully opened the heavy package in his hand, shook the rice grains stained with poison on the ground, and then scattered them all the way along the corner of the wall - according to Su Wen's estimate, there were hundreds or thousands of rats in this area, which could be guessed from the small movements he noticed from time to time, and it might only take a few minutes for most of these highly poisonous rice grains to be eaten by the rats.

Well, Su Wen could even hear the agitation not far behind him, and the rats who had found the food seemed to be sharing the deliciousness, but they didn't know that death was coming.

However......

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Looking at the ten empty packages in his hand, Su Wen was sure that the sewers behind him were all sprinkled with rat poison for nearly three hundred meters, so unless they hadn't eaten even one of them, or the rat poison was fake, why was the progress of the task still 0/5? Could it be that if you have to catch and kill it yourself, it would be too pitiful, and you have to go out and buy some rat traps?

Su Wen opened the task panel speechlessly, and poked at the daily task with zero progress, hoping to get some hints.

"Ding! You have killed 0 rats so far, and the quest completion rate is 0%. ”

Sure enough, Su Wen knew that the system would not let him get a rich reward so easily. Su Wen secretly swore that if he could encounter this kind of seemingly welfare-giving task in the future, he would never be as naïve as this time as he did this time, but would be prepared to deal with all emergencies to prevent the system from playing tricks and word games at any time.

However, just when Su Wen thought so, he suddenly seemed to notice something abnormal.

In an instant, Su Wen's eyes widened, as if he had a premonition of something extremely terrible, it was too late, it was too fast, and he didn't care about the dampness and dirt of the ground, he rolled forward with all his might.

"Buzz ......"

An extremely sharp sound of breaking the air followed, accompanied by the piercing sound of the cloth cracking, and Su Wen felt that his mage robe was easily cut in two by some sharp weapon. At the same time that the nerves in his body suddenly tensed, he knew very well in his heart, don't look at himself unscathed, but if he hadn't turned forward half a second ago, then he would have been torn in two at this time...... I'm afraid it's my own body!

"Damn, the system is cheating on me again!"

Su Wen immediately guessed that the system's task of catching rats seemed simple, but it was most likely a cover to trick him into the sewers...... And there's clearly something here that doesn't welcome him!

In just half a second, Su Wen greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the system.

But at the same time, he also knew that the figure not far away that was slowly disappearing into the dark shadow was the existence that he needed to pay attention to the most now......
