Chapter 347: Collecting Protection Money
"If you can sing this song, it means that you and I have known each other for a long time. Wood lowered his body, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, Wood carefully looked at Li Mo's face, and finally, shook his head: "I've never seen you." ”
"Don't think I'm going to lie to me when I'm old, the Tree Man is notoriously good in memory. Everything I have encountered in my life has been engraved into my annual rings. If you want to use lies to fool you around, you can't do it. Wood shook his finger and motioned for Li Mo not to try to think of a crooked idea.
However, Wood had a smile on his face at this time. Obviously, after hearing Li Mo's singing, it has been confirmed that Li Mo must have a lot to do with him. Otherwise, you wouldn't know the song.
After all, the song hasn't been around for long, and as I'm getting older, few people remember it.
At least, behind Li Mo, Victoria, who also had a long lifespan, looked ignorant, and he didn't know the origin of this song, because, when he was born, no one would mention this song.
"I don't know how to tell you. Li Mo shrugged: "I'm really familiar with you, but I'm not sure if you will recognize me." ”
Li Mo still remembers the events in the game clearly. Moreover, in my mind, there is a memory that seems to have never happened, but it did happen. In my memory, the NPCs I encountered had been stripped of the rigidity and sluggishness of program control. Instead, they became flesh-and-blood beings.
Among them, there is the old tree man in front of him. At that time, though, he was still a small sapling.
"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Wood didn't care about Li Mo's words. just waved his hand, signaling Li Mo to rest assured of his memory.
In this regard, Li Mo only smiled bitterly, this is not a matter of memory. My own in-game experience, if I had to explain it, was too complicated. Moreover, he did not guarantee that Wood would understand. Therefore, in the end, Li Mo said a sentence that impressed him: "Do you have an impression when I call you Xiao Wood?"
"Uh........" For this sentence, Victoria and Joey, who were listening on the sidelines, were dumbfounded. Carl looked up at Wood's barely top canopy, what was the name of the little firewood?
Hearing Li Mo's question, a trace of astonishment suddenly appeared on Wood's face. Then, he muttered, "It seems that I really saw you in a dream." ”
Originally, when Li Mo asked this question, there was also a faint expectation in his mind, although he knew that the expectation was small, but Li Mo still wanted to get a positive answer.
Because, only in this way, can it be shown that the revised memory in his mind is not false. Perhaps, this is the trace of his existence on the continent of Onenessk?
At this time, hearing Wood's answer, even Li Mo couldn't help but get excited. Did Wood really know that he existed? A thousand years ago, he really appeared on this continent?
"What do you mean by dream?" Li Mo asked his own question suspiciously. In the dream, did you really exist?
"It's in a dream. At that time, I always had strange dreams, and the jungle bear in my dream was very different from the real jungle bear. The familiar people in the tribe do not appear in dreams, but there are many strange people. And most importantly, more than you. Wood looked at Li Mo: "You weren't like that at the time, were you, angry sewing chicken?"
"Poof~~~" Carl, who was originally listening intently to the memories of the old treeman, didn't expect to hear such a name. Caught off guard, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing, Carl asked in surprise, "Angry sewing chicken? What is this name? Is there an animal called a sewing chicken?"
Beside him, Li Mo also looked sneered. After being in Oneisek for so long, Li Mo has almost forgotten his name in the game. However, at this moment, being called out by Wood, although it was embarrassing, made him feel a little inexplicable.
"I didn't expect you to remember me. Li Mo laughed: "At that time, I was indeed not what I am now. Now, though, I'm on Onisek. This is my new image in Onisek, how is it?"
Wood nodded, "It's much better than before." At the very least, it looks much more pleasing to the eye. ”
"By the way, Wood, you haven't finished talking yet, what are you talking about dreaming?" Li Mo looked at the tree man suspiciously, obviously, Li Mo didn't know a lot about his words.
"Didn't I say it before, I was in a dream to get to that particular jungle bear. Wood nodded at his trunk in confusion: "I don't know any of the people there." But, there's a lot of guys like you out there too. But the others don't pay attention to me, a little one. ”
Li Mo nodded, at that time, Wood was not the wise he is now. On the contrary, the young little tree man was much more naughty than he is now, and he was completely a bear child.
As for the fact that other people don't pay too much attention to him, it's also easy to understand. Jungle Bear's little treant Wood is also a well-known existence in Limer's game world. It's just that its reputation is also of the same nature as the owner of the Blue Fire Forge Shop.
All players who go to the Jungle Bear quest must first talk to the little tree man and deliver a copper coin before they can go to the NPC they are looking for to start their quest. If you don't hand over this copper coin, none of the NPCs in Jungle Bear will trigger the quest.
The duration of a single payment depends on the scope of your activities. As soon as you leave the range of the Jungle Bear, you will have to repeat the same steps, even if you return here to hand in the quest.
The trick is that this Treant only charges protection money, but never triggers any quests. This means that every time you pay money, it is wasted.
If that were the case, Wood the Treant wouldn't have such a big reputation. What's even worse is that the Treant Song sings about gold coins, but only copper coins can trigger this quest mechanic. If you really deliver a gold coin, I'm sorry, the money will be collected, but nothing will happen.
Unfortunately. Jungle Bear is the first map that some players reach after leaving the Starter Village. If you want to level up, then you can only do the tasks in a regular manner. In fact, many of the first players to reach Jungle Bear were trapped.
The hell map doesn't have any NPCs to talk to, just a Treant clamoring for a gold coin. So, what would you do if it were you.
As a result, the start-up capital that many players have worked so hard to save ends up in Wood's pockets. When a player finally discovers that only one copper coin is needed to trigger the follow-up mission. Many players have been impoverished by the pit.
Therefore, like the blue fire shopkeeper who is called selling fakes, Wood also has a nickname, called the protection fee.
