Chapter 16: Robbed
"What the hell are you? Why can it move? ”
Hearing Zhou Zheng's question, the paper man's tone was full of sighs.
"We should have become ghosts, as for why we can move, this has to start from two days ago, I was originally dead, hey, I don't know how to move......"
There are no secrets to the story of the paper figures, or they themselves don't know the secrets.
Zhou Zheng listened while watching his own degree of exploration.
As the paper figure narrates, the degree of exploration gradually increases, and the rewards change accordingly.
[Exploratory: 10%]
[Reward: 90,000 XP, XP Potion*1]
After reaching 10%, the old man will not increase the degree of exploration unless he says anything.
Zhou Zheng knew that the part of listening to the story was over.
The remaining 90% need to go elsewhere to explore.
"Stop, now I'm not interested in your story, what treasures do you have here?"
"I still have a few white candles in my house, do you want them? But with the lanterns, you'll have to steal from someone else. ”
Zhou Zheng: ......
Who is brave enough to take a few white candles when they turn over the cabinet?
"I want a baby! Baby, do you understand? Something worth a lot! ”
The paper man wants to cry without tears, how can the ghost rob people?
"What can small families like ours find? If you really want something good, you should go to the City Lord's Mansion to find it. ”
"Where is the City Lord's Mansion?"
…………
After coming out of the paper man's house.
Zhou Zheng carried the lantern and followed the guidance to the city lord's mansion.
Although it is said to be the castle lord's mansion, it is not as luxurious as other houses.
At most, the gate is a little wider, and there are two more stone lions at the door.
This made Zhou Zheng wonder if he could find the treasure here.
He stood on the back of the stone lion and glanced around the mansion a few times.
Like the rest of the city, the City Lord's Mansion was pitch black.
Zhou Zheng approached the door and gently tapped the knocker.
The sound of percussion was heard far away in the darkness.
Subsequently, the door opens automatically without anyone pushing it.
After Zhou Zheng checked the lantern in his hand, he walked into the dark mansion.
After he walked in.
The door behind him 'crunched' and closed with me.
Through the dim light, Zhou Zheng saw that something seemed to be shaking in front of him.
He walked over slowly, the light in his hand illuminating the center of the courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, a stage was built, and the stage was full of tables, chairs and benches.
And on the stage, an empty costume kept writhing.
It's as if the costume comes to life.
Looking at the continuous dancing of the costumes, Zhou Zheng seemed to hear the sound of 'babbling'.
It looks scary.
But Zhou Zheng didn't panic at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Because as he walked into the City Lord's Mansion, the degree of exploration jumped again.
As long as there is a reward, Zhou Zheng is still afraid of a ghost?
He wished he had more!
"It seems that this city lord's mansion is the right one, there is indeed a secret in it, if I can clean up the secret, maybe the task reward can be taken to a higher level."
Castle Lord: ......
It seemed to hear his muttering.
Zhou Zheng suddenly fell into a lucid dream.
The picture in the dream is still this small city, but the sky is clear.
"What's going on?"
In this lucid dream, he could still feel his body.
Therefore, Zhou Zheng did not panic much, but carefully observed the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, he saw a demon dragon flying in the distance, which was full of black gas, and fell heavily to the ground.
The dragon's massive body destroyed the entire city.
With the destruction of the city, Zhou Zheng's vision also became illusory.
Later, a big man was on the verge of death and chose this small town full of vain ghosts as his burial place.
The mountains and rivers are easy to say, and this place has become a forbidden place, and it has been completely blocked.
The town was built as a burial city, and the ghosts of the dead became inhabitants.
Everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Afterward......
With the passage of time, the game system came.
It seems that such a good place is suitable for leveling.
So with a slight transformation, Zhou Zheng became the first player to come here.
For the reward began to rob the house.
"Good!"
At this time, it seemed that the opera was over, and a cheer sounded.
Wake Zhou Zheng up from his dream.
He looked around, and the inside of the City Lord's Mansion was still gloomy at this time.
But under the stage, a paper figure appeared, sitting at the front.
On the table beside him, there were also melon and fruit teacups.
Zhou Zheng stared at the back of the paper man for a while.
Then I threw an identification technique up.
【Burial City Lord】
【NPC (Yellow Name)】
It's an NPC and should be able to communicate.
Zhou Zheng sat down next to the city lord.
Through the light in his hand, he saw a pale and stiff paper face, and immediately felt creepy.
In order to divert his attention, Zhou Zheng hurriedly looked at his task.
He saw that the degree of exploration was rising, and all the fear in his heart disappeared, and he was even a little happy.
After that lucid dream, the degree of exploration has jumped to 30%.
The rewards have also been changed to 190,000 XP, XP Potion x10, and Five Elements Demon Dragon Simple Strategy*1.
Quest strategy?
Zhou Zheng looked at it twice and became even more excited.
This is indeed one of the pre-quests of the main story of the magic capital!
As if frightened by the smile on Zhou Zheng's face, the city lord spoke:
"You...... Can you stop laughing so badly? ”
Zhou Zheng cleaned up the smile on his face.
"Lord of the city, may I ask what secrets are hidden in this city?"
"What secrets can a small ruined city have? I've already told you what I need to say, just to send you away early. ”
"So...... I wonder if the lord of the city here has any good treasures? ”
"I'm just a funeral companion, what good treasures can I turn out at home?"
The city lord of the paper man was chatting with Zhou Zheng while knocking melon seeds and drinking tea.
Live as if you were a living person.
also poured Zhou Zheng a cup of herbal tea.
【Yin Tea】
【Quality: White】
[The ghost drank to nourish the body, and the person drank the diarrhea]
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup on the table, and then put it down silently.
The stuff on this table isn't for people to eat at all.
He glanced at the city lord a few times.
The city lord was dressed quite plainly, but there were two pieces of jade hanging on his body.
One piece was scraped around the waist, and the other was held in the mouth of the city lord.
As the other party eats melon seeds and tea, it is revealed from time to time.
Zhou Zheng felt that these two pieces of jade were good things at a glance.
"Why don't you give me the piece of jade in your mouth? I don't want that piece on my waist. ”
"You...... Any idea what this thing is? ”
Zhou Zheng nodded silently.
The city lords who watched were stunned for a moment, and after being silent for a while, they said:
"The geese plucked their feathers."
In Zhou Zheng's view, plucking the goose is a compliment to a player.
What's more, he is far from reaching this level.
At least he hadn't kicked the jar or opened the box.
"For the sake of the token you carry, we awakened residents will be so polite to you. In this case, are you sure you still want this piece of jade? ”
Zhou Zheng said lightly: "Sure." ”
"You can give it, but you can't give it for nothing."
Zhou Zheng asked, "What to do?" ”
The city lord spit out the jade in his mouth, wiped the water stains on it with his sleeve, and placed it on the table.
"I'm also a city lord anyway, and I still have some strength under my hands, whether I can take it away depends on your strength, but you seem to be only level 20 now, right? Are you really not afraid of death? ”
Just as the city lord was speaking, a task appeared in front of Zhou Zheng.
[The Lord of the Burial City has issued a mission to you: Martial arts]
【Reward: Jade Cicada】
[Warning: Mission difficulty level 40]
[Yes/No accept the task]
"Yes."
"Very good, courageous, I only wanted to send a nurse to compete with you, but the 'one' has instructions that you must reach level 40, you have to take it."
The castle lord's paper figure had a smile on his face.
Then a group of paper soldiers came out of the darkness.
Although they are paper figures, they are wearing normal armor and the weapons in their hands are extremely sharp.
There were ten soldiers in a team, and Zhou Zheng threw an identification technique at one of them.
【Castle Lord's Guard】
[Level: 30]
[Attribute: ??? 】
[Skill: Yin Soldier Formation、??? 】
One of the captains of the guard shouted: "Formation!" ”
Ten paper figures formed a formation to surround Zhou Zheng, and streams of yin qi poured into their bodies, further enhancing their momentum.
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng took the lead.
The long sword in his hand stabbed at the captain who gave orders.
Just as he was about to be stabbed, the two soldiers next to the captain and the captain overlapped each other.
Let it go from a thin layer of paper to a three-layer thick paper figure.
Defense has been increased by a large margin.
However, with a little force in Zhou Zheng's hand, he still stabbed the three layers of paper figures.
"How is this possible?"
Whether it was the guards on the stage or the city lord under the stage, they all let out an exclamation.
Zhou Zheng is obviously only a level 20 player, but he can easily stab through the body of a paper man.
Although they are paper figures, it does not mean that their defenses are paper paste.
What's more, they didn't have any carelessness, and in the face of Zhou Zheng's attack, they were directly a combination of three people.
The three-layer paper figures stacked on top of each other hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, he screamed: "The enemy is extremely powerful, change the formation!" ”
As the captain of the paper man shouted, all the paper figures present flew lightly.
Give full play to the weight of your own paper figure.
For a while, ten paper figures circled around, and Zhou Zheng was dazzled by it.
He slashed at the sword in his hand for a while.
Although the swordsmanship is sparse and ordinary, the paper people found that Zhou Zheng was not only powerful, but also fast.
Often two or three knives can knock down a paper figure.
The city lord under the stage was so anxious that he hurriedly shouted:
"What are you running? Rush straight up and kill him, can a level 20 guy still be all-round? ”
Hearing the words of the city lord, the paper man glanced at him.
Then they were pasted together and combined into a super-large paper man guard, rushing towards Zhou Zheng.
7 long knives were cut down, and they fell on the sacred armor and shattered directly into pieces.
And Zhou Zheng did not retreat but advanced, and the long sword in his hand slashed at the paper man.
Take this opportunity to solve all the paper figures in one move.
【Mission: Tournament (Completed)】
【Reward: Jade Cicada】
【Jade Cicada】
【Quality: Green】
[Special Item - Useful 1: Putting it in your mouth while sleeping increases experience by 10 per hour.]
Usefulness 2: When leaving, use it as a quest item, increase exploration by 10%]
After completing the task, the jade cicada on the table was transferred to Zhou Zheng's hands by the system.
He smiled when he saw it.
This second one is really useful!
Zhou Zheng wanted to get another piece of jade in his hands.
The city lord saw that Zhou Zheng's eyes were getting more and more frightening, and hurriedly covered the piece of jade on his waist and retreated.
"Don't go too far!"
Zhou Zheng shook the jade cicada in his hand.
"Isn't this thing a match, a total of nine pieces. I don't want the second half, but the first half is fine, right? ”
"No, just this one, hurry up, if you don't roll, I'll call the whole city to hunt you down!"
Seeing the appearance of the city lord slamming the door, Zhou Zheng sighed, and then asked:
"Is there anything good anywhere else?"
Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, the city lord's paper face was about to cry.
"I'm already the lord of the city, I'm not poor like this, how good can others be?
But to say that in this city, the highest status should be the buried big man, right?
It is said that there is an orange item there. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded, seeing that the city lord couldn't squeeze any oil and water.
Even the exploration level stopped at 30%, and Zhou Zheng set off for the martial arts arena.
It's just that before leaving, in the eyes of the city lord who wanted to cry without tears, he also took away all the melons, fruits and tea on the table.
