Chapter 6: Complete two side quests
As Lu Xi expected, when she asked Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao to stand on the teleportation platform, she began to release her elemental power.
The battery logo representing the elemental power on it began to grow.
After the number reached 100%, a burst of dazzling golden light burst out in an instant, and this light even Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao could see it.
After the light, a brand-new teleportation platform appeared in front of Lu Xi's eyes, and without the system prompting, Lu Xi also knew that her task progress bar had increased a lot.
Continuing along the main road in the forest, Lu Xi soon passed through the territory of the Rolling Rabbit, of course, the Rolling Rabbit is the name given by Lu Xi, and in the markers on the map, its name is "Wind Shadow Rabbit".
It means "the shadow of the wind", and if you are fast, you can only hear the sound of the wind, and you can't even see the shadow.
When Lu Xi chatted with Dina of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group, he had learned about this kind of monster, although it was a race of ordinary monsters, but occasionally some mutated individuals who activated the elemental power would appear and become the king of the race.
Unlike other monsters that occasionally activate the elemental power of other attributes, the Wind Shadow Rabbit has been discovered so far, and only the wind attribute element can be activated, so it is also known as the patron of the wind element.
If it weren't for the fact that he walked to the middle of the Wind Shadow Rabbit's territory and a system notification that he could not hunt popped up, Lu Xi really didn't find out that the Wind Shadow Rabbit was here.
After standing down and waiting for a few minutes, Lu Xi saw a few white shadows, rushing from the left side of the road to the right side of the road, and then quickly running back, so fast that people felt that they were dazzled.
Xiao Yuan and Mao were eager to catch those Wind Shadow Rabbits, but unfortunately the speed of the thing was too fast, and they didn't give them a chance at all, and even if they did, they couldn't hurt the Wind Shadow Rabbits.
The things here, only Lu Xi, the "player", have the permission to hunt.
Lu Xi soon met the second dilapidated teleporter, and without her making a sound, Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao had already jumped up very consciously and began to "charge" the teleporter.
Lu Xi was very moved, she really didn't expect that with Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao, there would be such a use, if it was only herself, then she should find a way to krypton gold.
After unlocking the second teleportation table, Lu Xi found a pattern, that is, the two teleportation tables are located in the corner of the map.
Like the farm, the system map in the upper right corner of the Luxi game panel can only see the main part of the Night Forest, and the size of the outermost edge cannot be seen.
On the system map, you can see a road with a general shape of a square, connected from end to end, and two teleportation stations that have been lit up, located in the northeast and southeast corners respectively.
The entrance to the connection between the farm and the Night Forest was in the middle of the south, not next to each other, so Lu Xi hadn't discovered the existence of the teleportation platform before.
Then, after activating the teleportation station in the southwest corner of the Night Forest, Lu Xi met the monster "Red Feather White Feather Chicken" that she wanted to see the most.
When Lu Xi saw a flock of chickens, the excitement in his heart was indescribable, although these chickens were a little bigger, more than half a meter tall, and their beautiful long feathers hung behind their tails, more like some ornamental monsters.
However, it is a "chicken"!
Lu Xi was moved, the longer she came to the other world, the more she missed life on the earth, and she missed everything on the earth, desperately wanting to find items similar enough to the earth in the other world.
It's a pity that there is still no way to hunt, Lu Xi had to continue to move forward, and in the northwest corner, next to the place, Lu Xi met the fourth monster, "Sand Gopher".
Speaking of which, the sand gopher is also Lu Xi's old friend, the sand gopher is extremely fat, and the meat is the most suitable for oil extraction, but this kind of monster likes to burrow into the ground the most, usually lives underground, and rarely comes out of the ground.
If it weren't for Lu Xi seeing a few abrupt holes in the ground, he wouldn't have realized that there were monsters here.
After the last portal was activated, both Xiao Yuan and Mi Hao looked a little tired, and it was not easy to release their elemental powers, not to mention that they were just fragile cubs.
Among them, the dragon is the most powerful, it bears almost 80% of the elemental power, no way, the dragon is such an unreasonable and powerful creature.
[System Notice: Congratulations to players for completing the "Side Quest: Night Forest" and obtaining the quest reward "100 XP, 1 Map.] γ
[System Prompt: The player's level is upgraded to level 5.] γ
The parchment scroll-like object appeared in Lu Xi's hand, and Lu Xi unfolded it, showing a very detailed map with a special drawing method.
It's a pity that Lu Xi can't understand it, but the good news is that the use of this map is not understandable, and the light blue arrow suddenly appeared above the map to guide Lu Xi.
Curiously, she lowered her head to bite the arrow, and took a bite of air, the arrow was just a projection or something, not an entity.
Stopping the action that Mao Hao wanted to try in the future, Lu Xi began to walk in the direction of the arrow, and finally stopped a little west on the north side of the Night Forest.
The direction of the arrow is a cliff with no path, and several huge rocks are erratically barred.
Although Mao Hao could fly up with Lu Xi, Lu Xi felt that the meaning of the arrow on the map was not like that.
After taking a few tentative steps forward, the parchment map in his hand suddenly flew up, turned into a ray of light, and rushed towards the boulders.
A "crunch" sound sounded, and the boulder moved on its own, revealing a cave three or four meters high behind.
Looking closely, Lu Xi found that this cave was not naturally formed, and in the entrance of the cave, he could see various wooden shelves, supporting the entrance of the cave, and would not collapse easily due to accidents.
This is an artificially formed hole.
After the boulders scattered on both sides and the sound dissipated, a line of large characters that only Lu Xi could see appeared on the top of the cave entrance, "Underground Mine".
Without hesitation, Lu Xi walked towards the entrance of the mine, even if it was daytime, there was an inexplicable darkness at the door of the mine.
Lu Xi walked to the door, only to see that there was something like a minecart track built underground, the entrance of the cave was very dim, but there were a lot of mining lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, although it was a little dim, but it was still enough to illuminate the vision.
After following the minecart track for some distance, the environment became empty for a moment, and multiple roads appeared in front of it, leading in different directions.
Lu Xi looked at the map in the upper right corner, fortunately, the system map can be used, which clearly shows the route in the mine and the location of the NPCs in it.
So that Lu Xi does not have to search back and forth in the dark and complex mine route.
"It's so cold here." Lu Xi rubbed her shoulders, since she entered the mine below, she felt a special cold on her body, and the clothes on her body didn't even have any effect on the cold.
After Xiao Yuan heard Lu Xi's voice, he hurriedly approached Lu Xi, trying to warm Lu Xi with his smooth fur.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly scolded it with a "whining and whining", and then the two cubs didn't know what they were communicating, and they took two steps back with a sudden realization, cleared their throats, and were about to start breathing fire.
Lu Xi stopped Miao's movements with a frightened face, and didn't let it spew out this dragon fire.
Although Lu Xi has returned a lot of knowledge to the teacher after graduation, she also knows that it is easy not to light an open flame in the mine, who knows if there will be any combustible gas in it!
Even if there are certain game attributes here, it can't be ruled out that there is not enough reality here, and Lu Xi doesn't want to die tragically in another world for such a ridiculous reason.
After briefly explaining the stakes, looking at the expressions of the two cubs who seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Lu Xi sighed, reopened the game map, and prepared to go to the miner Kufu.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a blue pattern mark, appearing next to his person's avatar.
A premonition appeared in Lu Xi's heart, click on the pattern to check, and sure enough.
[Cold: The environment in this area is cold, the player's actions will suffer from the slowdown effect, the player's physical strength will be deducted by 1 point per minute, and double the physical strength will be deducted when performing physical work, please wear a costume with the "Cold" attribute, or carry a tool with the "Cold" attribute, you can be exempted from the status debuff in this environment. γ
After a while, Lu Xi had lost 5 points of physical strength, and there were still 47 points of physical strength left, after all, she had cut down a lot of trees before.
Either find the Kuf in 50 minutes and learn the "mining" skill and pray that there are no other physically demanding tasks, or go back now, find a way to get clothes with the "cold" attribute, and come back.
But thinking about it, making clothes must be indispensable for "tailoring" skills, and Lu Xi's choice seems to have no choice.
Lu Xi clicked on the backpack to see if there were any items that could be used.
Dozens of ball fruits, harvested and not used to cook, mainly because the recipe is not enough ingredients, can't be cooked, gnawing one raw can restore 1 point of physical strength.
Lu Xi glanced at the basketball-sized dish, and felt that it would take him more than a minute to nibble on one raw.
There were several tapioca melons and red cabbages, and the effect was the same as above, but Lu Xi chose to give up.
Fertilizer bags are useless.
Low-level monster feed, useless.
Item storage box, useless.
Low-level kits, useless, can randomly be fired from Frostdew Tree Timber Γ5 or Sand Tree Timber Γ5 or Sun and Moon Tree Timber Γ3...... I thought I could skip the Night Forest.
base wood pack, useless,
Basic repair drawings, useless.
Ordinary red wine, useless, but it can recover 50 energy points, the effect is not bad, Lu Xi wrote down the usefulness, she didn't pay special attention to the things in the backpack before, how can you give anything good at the beginning of the game.
Fifteen servings of fried french fries, useful, each serving can increase the physical strength of 50 points, and add 50 minutes of activity time to Luxi, which is very good, at least when the physical strength is not enough, you can eat to replenish it.
Premium white bread, which increases stamina by 50 points, no ...... No, this is useful, Lu Xi's eyes lit up, and he saw the last few lines.
[Special Effect: Negative status immunity for one hour.] γ
This was the first time Lu Xi had seen food with special effects, and she recalled the origin of these two fine white breads.
They are the Starter Pack and the Level 3 level rewards.
Well, it's not an item that can be fixed and obtained, Lu Xi was slightly disappointed, took out the fine white bread in his backpack, and ate it quickly, the effect of the fine white bread is better than fried french fries - Lu Xi is not sure that his stomach can support himself to eat several fried fries.
Although it is game food, the feeling of fullness after eating it is real!
A warm feeling instantly filled Lu Xi's whole body, and Lu Xi suddenly didn't have any uncomfortable feelings.
Maybe this "negative state immunity" can do something else, Lu Xi thought, but her movements were not slow, the time to be immune to the negative state was only an hour, she had to save time.
Miner Couff's location is located in the southwest corner of the underground mine, where there is an underground lake, and Couff is right next to the underground lake.
The roads in the mine are of different widths, so Lu Xi did not let Mao Hao carry himself forward, and Mao Hao's control is not very good, and this narrow terrain is not suitable for it to play.
Although the dragon's body is strong and not afraid of hitting the wall and being injured, Lu Xi is afraid that it will collapse the mine.
Ten minutes later, Lu Xi saw a figure chiseling stones on the wall, with the two big characters "Kufu" on the top of his head, and the big words "Stainless Steel Stone" displayed on the ore next to him, almost overlapping together.
Wearing a miner's uniform that looked very thick, and a hat with a miner's lamp on his head, Kufu stopped beating the ore after hearing Lu Xi's greeting.
"Ah, it's Miss Lucy, I've heard Rowem say that you've inherited our Spiritual Farm, and that's a good thing."
Kufu looked to be a young man under thirty years old, with a somewhat more athletic physique than Uga, and seemed to have a very enthusiastic personality.
Without waiting for Lu Xi to answer, Kufu had already spoken on his own.
"Speaking of which, you came to me to learn 'mining'."
Lu Xi was silent for a moment, and said perfunctorily, I don't know if any of these resident NPCs on the farm remember that she was a noble lady who inherited the farm.
Doesn't it seem a bit outrageous to let a noble lady work in a restaurant and learn "mining"?!
"Hahaha mining is not an easy task." Couff smiled cheerfully, "Miss Lucy, you should have a tool pickaxe with you." β
Lu Xi nodded again, took out the pickaxe from the basic tool, and Kufu didn't talk nonsense, pointing to a piece of steel stone next to him, "Then please trouble Miss Lucy to mine this steel stone." β
Lu Xi held the ore pickaxe close to the steel stone, lifted the ore pickaxe with an unstandard movement, and chiseled it hard.
Very good, no system notification popped up this time, Lu Xi repeated the operation a few times, and with a flash of light, a large piece of steel stone was suddenly broken into several standard-sized ore blocks.
Putting it in his backpack, Lu Xi looked at Kuf.
"Very well, this way, Miss Lucy, you have learned the 'mining' skill." Kufu congratulated Lu Xi with a sincere face.
[System Notice: Congratulations to players for completing the "Side Quest - Mining" and obtaining the quest reward "300 XP, 1 Advanced PickaxeΓ, and Γ1 Mining Tool Set.] γ
"However, Miss Lucy still needs to wear appropriate clothing when she comes next time, and in addition, advanced tools will also improve your mining efficiency Miss Lucy, so you can use advanced tools appropriately."
Lu Xi looked up at Kufu in surprise, there was nothing wrong with his expression, it was still that kind and friendly warm smile.
"There is a mine to the east of the mine, Miss Lucy can go through the mine to the second and third floors of the underground mine, the further down you go, the worse the environment in the mine, please be careful."
I found that the previous side quest reward, I forgot to write the experience points, and it has been added.
I won't write the numbers in any detail, but I guess there will be them.
