Chapter 54: The City of Bounties
Signs
← the Uncharted Forest
→ bounty capital
↓ Coast
"Found it."
After a long search in the initial grassland, Bard finally saw a street sign near a clearing.
According to the signs on the road, he could reach the coast by walking all the way back from here, but at the moment he didn't have any need to go to the coast, so he ignored it.
Then there's the Uncharted Forest, which is definitely for the player to venture out in, noting down the route to the Uncharted Forest, and finally Bard turns his attention to the Bounty Capital.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the place."
Bounty City - Andronibal: Bounty notices are posted all over the city, and you can earn money by accepting bounties.
The money and nuns in the Island of Greed are not interchangeable and cannot be exchanged, and the money here is the island's unique in-game currency.
If Bard wants to survive on the island, it will have to use this currency.
Fortunately, the currency on the island of greed is very easy to obtain, and you can do a few simple tasks to ensure that you don't starve to death.
"I remember the bounty capital seemed to have a tournament every month."
Winning a match will give you a highly prized card, but Bard doesn't have a single defensive card now, and even if he gets it, it will be easily taken away by veteran players.
Thinking of this, Bard picked up a stone from the ground and got up.
“BOOK!”
BOOK is a spell that summons the Book of Games, which can be used to card any item on the island, such as this stone.
【Ordinary Stone · H-∞]: A card made from a random stone.
Note the H and ∞ symbols behind the stones, which is one of the most important settings of the Island of Greed.
H represents the rarity of the card, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, a total of ten levels, H is the lowest, and it is the most garbage card.
The following ∞ means number, and ∞ means infinite, that is, there is no limit to the number of numbers.
Even the most rubbish cards don't mean the stones aren't useful.
Bard thought about it, picked up a large pile of rocks on the ground, plucked a patch of grass, and turned them all into cards and put them in his game book.
The purpose of this is to prevent someone from being able to easily steal the card from themselves.
[Theft]: Steal a card from a targeted player's designated pocket.
[Stonethrow]: Can choose a card from the random pocket of a designated opponent and destroy it.
[Levied]: Within a 20-meter radius of the player using the spell, all players in the area will be stripped of a card.
These are more typical theft, destruction and forcible cards, in addition to forced exchange, downgrading, etc., all kinds of cards that exist specifically for Yin people.
Note that most of the effects of these cards are within a specified range, but are randomly selected from them.
So it's a very necessary thing to carry a bunch of garbage cards on your body.
Looking for the street sign and walking forward, Bud soon saw a large shadow of a building in front of him.
With such a close proximity to the Initial Land, this bounty capital should be a low-level area specially for newcomers, but it cannot be ruled out that the game makers did not take into account the feelings of newcomers when making games.
Before entering the city, Bud saw a bustling crowd of people on the street ahead.
A total of 100 sets of access equipment to the island of greed were issued.
A single console can fit 8 players into the game, which means that excluding GMs, there can only be more than 800 players in the Island of Greed.
(It is possible to stow away, but it will soon be discovered by the GM and kicked out of the game.) )
There are only more than 600 people in the entire Hunter Association, and even if you add Ye Luzi, the number should not exceed 10,000.
The Mighty Family is the ruling class of this world, and it is almost impossible for them to enter the Island of Greed.
So Bard can be sure that most of the humans on this street are NPCs, that is, game characters created by special telekinesis abilities that only react in a fixed way.
When I entered the city, I casually asked someone on the road, and sure enough, the other party would only answer some fixed questions, and if the question was a little more complicated, it would directly become a repeater.
After asking where the bounty task was, Bard didn't waste time and rushed over directly.
In fact, the bounty city is full of tasks, just find a shop and chat with the boss to get a simple job.
After completing the mission, in addition to a certain amount of in-game currency, you can also get a low-level card.
But if you want to get better cards, you'll have to go to the bulletin board and pick up higher-level quests.
Bard found the bulletin board as soon as he could, just to see if there was a task for him, and if not, he had to go to the restaurant to wash the dishes.
"That's a lot of work."
The position of the bulletin board is very prominent, and a large bulletin board can be seen from far away Bud, which is plastered with various mission notices.
Approaching to take a closer look, he quickly realized that most of the tasks above were not for him.
It's not that I don't know the way, or the difficulty is too high, and the difficulty is low, but I always feel that the reward is not as good as brushing the dishes.
After a few closer looks, Bud suddenly saw an interesting mission announcement.
[Collect Venom]: The Thieves' Guild is in urgent need of a large amount of venom, if you are interested, please go to the weapon shop in the north of the city for an interview.
"The Thieves' Guild." Bud suddenly became interested, he had just entered the game, and the most lacking thing was intelligence.
This NPC organization may be able to provide him with something interesting.
"That's it."
The notice is removed, and the game ring records his mission choices.
The sign showed the location of the Thieves' Guild, and it didn't take long for Bard to find the location.
The follow-up of the mission went well, and after a brief exchange, he was rewarded with an empty venom tank and a simple map.
The location marked on the map was the secret forest he had seen earlier, and as for the venom tank, it was used for him to hold venom.
According to the quest prompt he received, after arriving at the secret forest, look for a bee-infested place nearby, where there is a highly poisonous arrow poison wood.
Cut through the bark of the tree, and a highly toxic sap will flow out, and the task of collecting a full tank is completed.
The quest reward is 100,000 in-game credits and an E-rank weapon card.
As for the information that Bard wants to get, the NPCs don't know anything, so they can only wait for the mission to be completed to see if there will be a follow-up.
"Secret Forest, it sounds like a copy."
Is there a copy on the Island of Greed? There should be none.
Anyway, let's go over and have a look.
