Chapter 13: The Immediate Goal
A busy day passed, and that evening, the players met at the hotel to exchange the information they had received.
"The local kids are full of curiosity. "It's no different from the children of the earth." ”
During the day today, he and Crushed Ice were still training with the pandas. They don't think they're good at negotiating, and they don't have much impression of those side quests in the Novice Village, so instead of wasting time tossing these, it's better to train hard and improve their strength.
Since the game system was fully opened, players have been able to earn experience points through various actions and use it in various ways - until then, they could only dimly feel the existence of their "level" and "experience", and realize that they can gain experience through positive actions to level up.
Training, fighting, and completing missions can all be effective in gaining experience. Completing quests gives you the most experience, but it's not easy to get them. There is also a lot of experience gained in battle, but only if you fight a strong enough opponent - Yunero has killed a lot of weak creatures such as rabbits during the past two days of hunting, but has hardly gained any experience points. On the contrary, in the process of learning hunting and survival in the wild from hunters, I gained a lot of experience.
Compared to the other two paths, training is the most stable way to gain experience.
Moreover, training can also accumulate skill proficiency and attribute growth value, and those native residents who were originally game NPCs and now become normal people have probably grown up in this way.
The scavenger has been trained for two days, and the level of several skills such as "basic shooting", "light crossbow", and "aiming" has been improved, and in its own attributes, "accuracy" has increased a little, and "endurance" and "will" have also increased, and in general, it is still very cost-effective.
During the training, he noticed that the children in the village of Kalipura were just like the children on the earth, full of curiosity about things like "fighting" and "exercising". Many children came to watch their training, pointing and pointing as they watched, and more than one child showed a yearning mentality.
But...... Compared to his shooting training and panda's fighting training, the magic training of Crushed Ice is obviously more popular with children. Most of the children's attention is attracted by the broken ice, and among the rest, there are many pandas, but even fewer of them.
He wasn't surprised by this, the magic of crushing ice was really beautiful, the ice mist shone in the sun, and even formed a rainbow more than once, and children would be curious, interesting, and rightfully so. Although the panda's fighting skills are not gorgeous, they are full of power, and every blow can make people clearly feel that powerful power, and it is normal to yearn for the strong.
Compared to these two companions, the scavenger's shooting training is really a bit ordinary. The village is not devoid of hunters, and the children must have seen the training of hunters. Even if he used a crossbow, which was slightly different from a hunter's bow, he used nothing more than a target, and for a child, there was not much difference.
Overall, the kids in the village don't feel like NPCs who just run around in the game, repeat a few meaningless conversations, or occasionally post random simple tasks, but like the normal kids he's seen, they love to play, are full of curiosity, and yearn for something wonderful and powerful.
"They're annoying!" Crushed Ice shook his head and complained, "A bunch of people are buzzing around like flies!
As a magician, his training is very dazzling, which has attracted the attention of many children. But he didn't like it at all! In contrast, he would rather practice silently in the training ground with three or five friends, rest for a while when he was tired from practice, eat and drink, and gossip.
During the training, a group of children kept exclaiming, admiring, and talking nearby...... He didn't feel proud, just annoyed.
"It's okay. The panda smiled and said, "Perhaps, we can teach them a little kung fu." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this - teach these children kung fu?
"This ...... Not easy. Sleepless shook his head, "It's hard to teach them skills, I think it's a bit of a waste of time." ”
Valkyrie nodded and said, "Sleepless is right. Today I taught Stud the art of marksmanship, and he didn't learn much for a whole day. He is already a person with relatively high basic attributes in the village, and even he is so slow to learn, let alone these children. ”
"And we don't have time to teach them slowly. Sleepless continued, "I walked around the village today, explored and tested all the tasks related to the novice village in my impression, and summed up that there are about five or six tasks to do...... For us, it's the fastest way to increase experience by doing tasks. In the previous 'Unlucky Gambler Stroo' mission, everyone got a lot of experience points. ”
Everyone nodded, and through that mission, everyone got more experience points than they had trained for a day.
For them, the most important thing for them to get more experience points as soon as possible is the most important thing in front of them. If you have enough experience, you will be able to level up, improve your skills and attributes, and make yourself stronger. This world is not safe, and if things develop according to the original "plot" in the future, there will be many dangers and difficulties in the future.
Although the traversers are immortal and can be resurrected from the guild crystal even if they die, if they are not strong enough and are beaten into the castle by the enemy and keep the guild crystal, then even if they are resurrected, it is nothing more than dying again.
Therefore, no matter what the future holds, gaining experience points and improving strength is always the most important task for the traversers.
As a group of people from the red country, they have been familiar with the truth of "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" since childhood.
Sleepless persuaded everyone that even if the pandas who had discussed the lack of manpower in the guild and wanted to recruit some people in the novice village during the private chat with the president before, they decided to put this matter aside for the time being and do the task first.
After all, there is no rush to recruit people, there are so many people in the guild, enough to maintain the operation of the castle.
And...... Rushing to recruit may not be a good idea.
After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, reality is not a game, and there is no such simple and easy way to increase the loyalty of your followers as long as you give a small gift or take a monster fight.
When the game is first played, the player can recruit randomly spawned NPCs as followers. But so far, Panda hasn't seen a single random spawn NPC. Every local has a clear background, and has a resume from childhood to adulthood. Expect such a man to leave everything behind and faithfully serve an adventurer of unknown origin as an attendant?
People who think like this must have been addicted to the game for too long and hurt their brains.
Compared with the locals, the strength of the traversers themselves is the most reliable.
