Chapter 8: Plot Changes

Ten minutes later, the doctor invited by Li Xiaoyao was already in front of Aunt Li's bed, telling Li Xiaoyao that this was an old illness, and the only way was to go to Xianling Island to ask for the elixir.

Shen Yi took the opportunity to propose to go with Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao accepted.

The system really gave the task.

"Temporary Mission: Escort Li Xiaoyao to Xianling Island to seek immortal medicine. ”

"This quest is the first ring of the main line level serial quest, and you will be rewarded with 100 points after completion, and adventurers can enter the next ring of quests regardless of whether they participated in the previous quest or not. Complete all sessions to earn up to 27,000 total rewards. ”

Seeing this task description, Shen Yi suddenly realized.

It's said to be a serial quest, but if you look at its total reward amount of 27,000 points, you can see that it's actually a hidden main quest that ensures that it won't be wiped out.

And the protection and escort of Li Xiaoyao will be from the beginning of the plot to the end of the plot.

Unlike the usual main quest, this chain quest must be triggered on its own, and it doesn't need to be a full quest.

Adventurers can actually join the main story of protecting Li Xiaoyao at any time and anywhere, and the rewards they receive will depend on the mission they participate in.

Since Shen Yi took on the task from the initial plot, as long as he completed all the links, he could get 27,000 points.

This is not necessarily not disconnected, for example, Shen Yi can give up a certain task in the middle and not do it, and he can still continue at the break point, anyway, in the end, it is calculated according to the number of rings and tasks.

This situation is also in line with the principle of the city, that is, when it comes to the four difficulties, it will not be too harsh in terms of erasure conditions, as long as you go all the way, the most basic survival can still be guaranteed. And if you want to get more rewards, you have to work harder on this basis.

Of course, it's nothing without this hidden main quest, it's a big deal that you find more other quests with higher rewards for gore points, as long as you can reach the 27,000 standard anyway.

This task was issued to Shen Yi, Wei Chibai had no share, and obviously Li Xiaoyao didn't plan to go with Wei Chibai at all.

Shen Yi took out the words he had prepared before, and Wei Chibai also took the opportunity to apologize, claiming that he was greedy for a while and almost missed the future of his little brother.

Under Shen Yi's persuasion, Li Xiaoyao thought that he was a person who wanted to be a hero, so he didn't bother with Wei Chibai, and Wei Chibai finally received this task.

However, this does not mean that Li Xiaoyao really forgives Wei Chibai.

To be precise, Shen Yi's teaching is from a rational point of view, telling him what is right and letting him follow the right path, but it does not mean that Li Xiaoyao must accept Wei Chibai because of this.

His hatred of Wei Chibai is an instinctive aversion to others snatching their own interests, which can not be solved in a few words, let alone a chivalrous demeanor to love the world.

He just pretended to show his demeanor because of Shen Yi's teachings.

It's like some celebrities speaking on stage, and some people below are complaining about it. The celebrities laughed on the surface and explained patiently, but in their hearts, they actually wanted to rush off the stage and punch the other party and beat everyone who attacked them into pigs' heads.

Li Xiaoyao is the same now, reason and emotion are contradictory, so although the task was given to Wei Chibai, he was still annoyed by him in his heart.

If Jiu Jian Immortal could accept him as an apprentice, then Li Xiaoyao might really forgive him, but unfortunately this matter was destined to be impossible, so Li Xiaoyao's thorn in Wei Chibai's heart could not be erased in a short period of time.

Shen Yi is so happy, if Wei Chibai doesn't know each other anymore, then maybe he will replace "a hundred rivers meet the sea, there is tolerance and greatness" with "unbearable, eliminate evil" and something like that, I believe that Li Xiaoyao, whose strength has risen sharply, will be very willing to beat Wei Chibai and drive him out of his team directly.

At this moment, the serial escort mission was started, and Wei Chibai was very excited. Survival is the number one priority for all adventurers, and with that foundation in place, they can wander around the maze of stories in search of all potential treasures.

Of course, his fate is still in Li Xiaoyao's hands, if Li Xiaoyao doesn't want him to join, he can drive him out at any time, and Shen Yi is a person who can influence Li Xiaoyao, so he can't help but be glad that he and Shen Yi have reached a settlement.

This is also because he and Shen Yi have no deep hatred, if it was the team of the Dane family, Shen Yi would not let them join. It is estimated that because of this, they did not have hope in this regard at the beginning, but went in another way.

Since the monsters on Xianling Island are not strong and the point rewards are not high, Shen Yi and Wei Chibai did not call their team members over, but prepared to embark on the journey directly.

But before that, there is another thing, that is, the Miao people give medicine.

Sure enough, when Li Xiaoyao left the store, he met the Miao people, and after the conversation, the Miao messenger gave Li Xiaoyao a hammer to break the sky and forget his worries.

At this moment, the coats of arms of the two sounded at the same time:

"Temporary mission, to stop Li Xiaoyao from taking Forget Worries. Complete the quest and get a reward of 100 Blood Points. Abandon the reward to get the follow-up mission. ”

Both of them were shocked at the same time.

At the same time, everyone realizes that the plot has developed to this point, the initial plot has ended, and the next thing is the unpredictable maze plot.

Bloody City may release various missions at any time and anywhere, or change the story, or return to the story.

The problem is that you don't know which of these tasks is suitable for completion and which is not.

The task in front of him is obviously a story-changing mission, and the reward of one hundred points is already as high as the task of escorting Li Xiaoyao.

From this point of view, Wei Chibai believes that this is likely to be a decoy mission, and once it is taken, it will lead the adventurer to a dead end in the plot.

But Shen Yi suddenly made a lightning move, took the forgetful sorrow from Li Xiaoyao's hand, and said: "This is an elixir, swallow it with water, otherwise the medicine power will not be able to dissolve, go, Xiaoyao, go to the kitchen and bring a glass of water." ”

"Eh!" Li Xiaoyao obeyed Shen Yiyan and ran to the kitchen to bring water.

At the same time, Shen Yi had already thrown the Forgotten Worries into the Blood Emblem and took out a healing pill casually.

Although the Miao envoy was also a master, he had never seen such a thing as a blood crest, and he didn't expect Shen Yi to drop the medicine under his nose.

When Li Xiaoyao came back, Shen Yi gave Li Xiaoyao the healing medicine.

Wei Chibai was in a hurry, what he was distressed about was not the reward of a hundred blood points, but the fact that he dared to accept such an obvious bait task, wasn't he afraid of the big trouble caused by changing the plot?

It's just that when he made an agreement with Shen Yi, he had already agreed to decide to focus on Shen Yi, and it was really not suitable to turn his face with Shen Yi now, so he could only hold it first.

The Blood Emblem has already prompted:

"Complete temporary quests and forfeit rewards to get follow-up quests. ”

"Abandon the reward. ”

"The quest reward is abandoned, and the follow-up quest will be launched after Li Xiaoyao arrives on Xianling Island. ”

After the task was completed, everyone no longer wasted time, bid farewell to those Miao people and went to Xianling Island.

On the way, Wei Chibai finally couldn't help but question Shen Yi: "Are you crazy? Why the hell are you doing this task? You should know the consequences! Li Xiaoyao didn't take Forget Worry San, it is impossible to forget Zhao Ling'er, how can you let the plot develop? I didn't expect you to be so greedy that you can't even see such an obvious bait!"

Shen Yi glanced at Wei Chibai and replied slowly, "Have you walked through the labyrinth?"

Wei Chibai replied, "I've played the maze game." ”

"Then when you go through the labyrinth, do you never take a fork in the road?"

Wei Chibai was stunned again: "How is this possible?"

"That's fine. Shen Yi spread his hands: "The essence of the plot maze is that there are many forks. You can never go without taking a detour and not entering any dead end. In fact, although the city gives us a hidden main line, it doesn't mean that what follows will definitely happen according to the plot regulations. If you don't dare to take this task because you are afraid to take the wrong path, it means that you are actually stuck at the fork in the road of the maze, looking left and right, and not daring to take a step. ”

Speaking of this, he patted Wei Chibai on the shoulder and smiled: "In the face of the maze, what you have to do is not to hesitate, but to take bold steps. It's okay to go wrong, it's a big deal to walk back. If you don't leave, it's the real problem. You see, the Forgetfulness is in my hands, and if I don't feel right, I can let him eat it again at any time. One thing, as long as there is a chance to turn back, then we can try. Only those who have done it and can never turn back should be very cautious...... If you speak to me in this tone again, I promise you will never turn back. ”

Speaking of the back, Shen Yi's tone had become even colder than Wei Chibai's frost and freezing air, and Wei Chibai was also shocked when he heard it.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for what I just said. He said.

"That's pretty much it, let's go. ”

They had come to the edge of the fishing harbour, where a small fishing boat was moored beside the pier.

Stepping on the fishing boat, the first official mission of the Legend of Sword and Fairy began.

―――――――――――

From the fishing port to Xianling Island, it takes about half a day by boat.

Sitting at the bow of the boat, Shen Yi hugged his knees, watching the oars lap the water and set off waves, and there was a strange warm feeling in his heart.

Since he entered the city, he has experienced mostly the Western magic or science fiction world, and has seen more of the fast pace of the modern world and the gloomy and cold of the magic world.

Therefore, even if you just sit and watch the white waves on the water, you feel extremely comfortable, and you can't help but say to yourself: "When it comes to style, it is still the most lyrical and beautiful in China." ”

Next to him, Li Xiaoyao walked over and sat down beside Shen Yi: "Brother Shen Yi, what is beauty, and what is China?"

Shen Yi smiled and said casually: "It's nothing, what I'm talking about is our local dialect, which means that this water town in the south of the Yangtze River has beautiful people, beautiful water and beautiful scenery...... Anything is beautiful anyway. ”

Li Xiaoyao asked seriously: "Egg pain is also a slang term in the eldest brother's hometown?

“...... It means that the mood is irritable and depressed. ”

"I see, yesterday I didn't understand my eldest brother's fulfillment heart, and I was in a hurry, which annoyed my eldest brother and was ashamed. ”

"Nothing. ”

"By the way, Brother Shen, they all say that there are monsters on Xianling Island, but I have never seen monsters. Brother Shen, have you ever seen a monster?"

“...... I've seen it. ”

"Are youkai scary?"

In the game, Li Xiaoyao fought when he saw a monster for the first time, and there was no fear or horror, but here, Li Xiaoyao had an instinctive fear of monsters.

In fact, this is normal, if you suddenly encounter a chicken screaming at the junior and pounce on you, you will also be afraid.

Therefore, it is conceivable that if there was no Shen Yiwei Chibai and their escort all the way, maybe Li Xiaoyao would have been killed when he encountered the first monster.

Shen Yi smiled: "It's nothing, heaven and earth have spirits, giving birth to all things, there can be human beings, chickens and ducks, why can't there be monsters? The people of the world are ignorant, they are prone to exaggerate, make a fuss, and spread false rumors, you and others will be chivalrous in the future, and you must not chase the wind and catch shadows, and do not know right and wrong. See with your own eyes, hear with your ears, and think with your brain. As for whether there are monsters on the fairy spirit island, we will naturally know after we go up. ”

"What the eldest brother said is that Xiaoyao understands. Li Xiaoyao bowed to Shen Yi, he was originally a smart and studious person, although he was a bit cynical and youthful in the game, but after meeting Shen Yi, he showed his diligent and progressive side.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi said: "On Xianling Island, there are monsters, but I don't know what the strength is. After a while, I'll help you weigh it first. If the strength is not strong, you will deal with it alone, and Chi Bai and I will only watch over you and guide you. ”

Wei Chibai was taken aback: "If you let him face it himself, wouldn't that be ......?"

He wanted to say that if all the monsters were killed by Shen Yi, wouldn't we have no benefit? After all, there would be no reward for the plot characters to kill monsters.

Shen Yi turned his head sharply and glared at him, his eyes were slightly sharp, Wei Chibai couldn't say what he said, Shen Yi had already said: "Xiaoyao is still young and lacks experience, I know you care about his safety, but if you help him take care of everything, how will he grow? Heaven descends on the people, must first suffer their muscles and bones, work their minds, starve their bodies and skin, if you take this opportunity today, you and I watched the battle and guarded from the sidelines, and by the way, also pointed out the leisure. If there is any powerful monster appearing, it is not too late to strike. ”

Shen Yi's meaning is very clear, although we are taking on the task of protection, don't forget that Li Xiaoyao himself also needs to grow, after all, he is one of the main forces against the big boss in the future. For this super talented plot protagonist, if you don't give him a chance to grow now, then the road in the future will be more and more difficult. Why bother to make your task difficult every step of the way for a small profit.

Wei Chibai understood what he meant, thinking that he was right, he could only nod in agreement, but he also knew that this was destined for Li Xiaoyao to have many risks.

Different from the original plot, in the original plot, players can always pass the level as long as they level up step by step.

But here, without the help of adventurers, perhaps Li Xiaoyao will die in the wilderness as soon as he leaves the house.

How to achieve a perfect balance between protection, training, and killing monsters and treasures is the key to the success or failure of this mission, and it is also a test of the adventurer's ability.

If only there was a pastor.

Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh again.

Unexpectedly, the priest not only determines the lasting combat power of the team, but also has the effect of bringing apprentices.

Half a day later, Xianling Island arrived.
