88. Newcomers, do you have to learn to be grateful, do you understand? 【28/60】

Wraiths are "ghosts" in the traditional sense.
They are tormented by the despair and pain of dying, but they long for rest.
This existential conflict has made these spirits hostile to all living creatures from the time of birth, and viciously longing for new souls to join them and experience the same pain as them.
Wraiths are difficult to deal with.
They have no physical body, and bullets and swords are difficult to damage unless they are psionic or fire. And for the more advanced spirits who retain all their wisdom but still hate the living, the flames are hardly even effective.
Another threat to the Wraiths is that these things never appear alone.
They'll be born in the ruins of massacres or ancient tombs that have fallen into disrepair, and when they do, they're definitely a swarm, meaning you'll have to face at least 20 wraiths at once.
At this level, the breath of the dead superimposed on the resentful spirits alone would cast an ominous layer of hoarfrost on the ground, and the impact of their screams on the spirit would make the veterans of the human race tremble.
Murphy is a vampire, though!
Whether it's on the "Dark Creature Strength Ranking", or the "Evil Visibility Ranking" and "Most Hated by Other Lives", their race is ranked so high that they don't know where to go.
As the famous saying goes!
Even there is a distinction between evil and evil.
By the time Murphy and Maxim emerged from the sewers, it was already dawn, and even the streets were filled with diligent little players walking around and looting.
And in front of Murphy, who poked his head out of the sewer, stood the stunned Sister Pomegranate.
Looking at her expression, you can know that Murphy's "elusiveness" here has caused a lot of psychological shadow to this very temperamental big girl, and it seems that even a handsome vampire like Lord Murphy is not handsome twenty-four hours a day.
Does he also drill into the sewers?
Wait a minute!
If even Master Murphy had gone down the drains, wouldn't that mean there must have been plenty of good places to scavenge in the underground?
Sister Pomegranate's eyes lit up.
She suddenly felt that her smart and beautiful self had discovered another incredible hidden clue.
"Ahem"
Seeing Sister Pomegranate's expression, Murphy knew what the little player was thinking.
He crawled out in a handsome gesture, patted the dust off his body, and called out a dark psionic wind around him and Maxim to dissipate the bad smell on his body.
Only then did she open her mouth and say to Sister Pomegranate, who was about to start her daily search with a burlap bag in front of her eyes:
"I just did a scout of the city's sewer system, my beautiful warrior, and the situation is not optimistic! The ebb of the shadows of the astral plane means that new dangers are emerging, and on a normal day I would ask the brave ones to help my people solve the hidden dangers in the darkness, but now is not the time.
You'll need further practice to get used to the more dangerous situation, and now I'm asking you to go to the witch hunters' camp immediately to be trained and assessed. ”
As he spoke, Murphy rummaged through the psionic bag, took out a pen and paper and wrote down a line of words, handed it to Sister Pomegranate, and said meaningfully:
"You are one of the few warriors I value the most, your precious time should not be wasted exploring the ruins, go, Lady Pomegranate, and create your own miracle."
With that, Murphy took Maxim away in the morning light, successfully taking Miss Pomegranate's attention away from the little thing he had just drilled into the sewers.
And Sister Pomegranate pinched the "letter of introduction" in her hand, and stared at the task she had just triggered in front of her with wide eyes:
【Hidden Quest · Master Murphy's Favor has been triggered!
Mission Description: It seems that your outstanding performance has attracted the attention of Master Murphy, who has decided that you are a brave man with potential, and has personally written a letter of recommendation for you, so report to the witch hunter camp now.
Prompt!
Once you have "Murphy's Letter of Recommendation", you can skip the Witch Hunter Camp apprenticeship and ask the powerful White Knight Finoch Lawson for tips.
Objective: To trigger and test the strength of the Black Iron Body in the shortest possible time (15 days), so as not to let yourself live up to Lord Murphy's attention.
Rewards: Cadman Self-Salvation Reputation, Vulture Clan Reputation, Survivor Camp Reputation, and Favor from Master Murphy. 】
“???”
Sister Pomegranate looked confused.
Didn't those veteran players say that hidden missions are hard to trigger? Why did I trigger three in a row in less than five days after I first entered the game? Is it because other people's faces are too dark?
"Little Pomegranate, where are you? My two friends and I are already online, we are on the ruins line, do you want to go to you? ”
Just as Sister Pomegranate was about to leave, her player interface communication suddenly lit up, and she saw a cheerful text from Lumina.
Because I'm going to pick up new friends to play with today, this poor little guy who had to stay up late because of the time difference is also uncharacteristically online during the day.
"I'll go find you."
Sister Pomegranate still values her smart new friend.
She turned briskly and ran to the defense, and sent another message to Lumina:
"Even-gary, I just saw Master Murphy and Maxim crawl out of the sewers, and he sent me a hidden mission to avoid embarrassment!
Hey, it's really the hopeless self-esteem of men. ”
“??? Is it 'Lord Murphy's favor'? ”
Lumina immediately replied:
"You've received this assignment too? I just popped up as soon as I went online, and I also asked in the group, not just you and me, the first batch of 16 old players who participated in the test have it, but it seems that you are the only one in the second batch so far.
But Murphy-sama climbed down the sewers or something, are you sure? Would such a handsome and elegant NPC do such a thing? Don't lie to me! ”
"What's the matter, I secretly took a photo!"
Sister Pomegranate made a wicked smile and said:
"I'll post it on the forum in a moment!"
"Smack"
Murphy, who had already returned to the defensive line, crushed the apple in his hand with a gloomy face.
Looking at the screen, he obviously saw the chat history of Sister Pomegranate and Lumina, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands elegantly and took out a small black book.
"Send me black material, right?"
Master Murphy narrowed his eyes and said viciously in his heart:
"I advise you to be kind, little pomegranate! If I actually see that damn picture on a forum, you're ready to be a member of the 'mafia'! ”
On the other side, under the Cadman City defence, the area has become a safe zone.
In addition to Lady Trissy's alchemy hut, there is also a supply point from the survivor camp, where several blacksmiths and tailors have been sent by Miriam to repair equipment and supplies for the Cadman Self-Salvation Force and Master Murphy's warriors operating in the ruins of the city.
And because the players scavenged a lot of money in the ruins and had nowhere to spend it, they really had no concept of money, resulting in the "NPCs" sent here making a lot of money.
The attitude towards the small players is naturally quite enthusiastic, even if you don't understand their words, it doesn't matter, ordinary transactions can be done with gestures.
"Wow, this apple tastes exactly the same as it does in reality, and what's the deal with this crisp texture? Woooooooo
My childhood dream came true in this way!
Mom and Dad, I won't go back to the boring reality! ”
Beside Lumina, a short girl in a novice outfit was nibbling on a few apples.
She has a cute round face and a single ponytail full of energy, and she is full of vitality and vitality, but she is very crippled, probably the shortest of all the players at the moment.
No more than 155.
She was one of the two lucky candidates in Lumina's private social group, the "Female Swordmaster", and she knew by the name that this girl was playing with a gun thief.
Beside her was a tall girl with especially long legs.
The face is much taller than Lumina and Reed, at least around 178, and Sister Pomegranate who strode is about the same height, compared to the reed name who is full of vitality and still sighs about the real game, the big traveler "Deadly Orchid Flower" is obviously much more stable.
She observed the various fruits placed in the basket by the NPCs in front of her, and at the same time observed the overly delicate facial expressions of the NPCs around her.
Finally, he set his eyes on the wreckage of Cadman City, which had been reshrouded in sunlight as the shadows of the astral plane faded.
"Typical of the Middle Ages, with the castle as the center extending outwards with different functional areas, the high walls were designed to prevent foreign invasions and to better protect the lord's property. The lower town is inhabited by commoners and shops, while the upper town is structured into different residential areas according to the hierarchy of power.
It's exactly like some of the sites on the European side.
No, it's obviously more reasonable here!
Damn it!
Why not a camera!
This photo is enough for me to make several bad friends. ”
Orchid muttered to herself, and let the girl next to her, who had finished nibbling on the apple and picked up a handful of maltose, roll her eyes, and said in her heart that the traveler's occupational disease had committed it again.
"Yo, two new friends, hello!"
Sister Pomegranate hurried, first rushed up to take Lumina in her arms and rubbed her long smooth hair vigorously, and then greeted the other two new friends amid the latter's screams.
The gathering of the four girls naturally attracted the attention of the other 18 people who entered the game, but no one came up to talk.
This is not reality, and pickled girls are not in a hurry or anything.
The 20 people who were put into the game by Murphy this time still took the "internal recommendation".
However, unlike last time, Murphy did not put in the recommendations of those old players at the beginning.
They now have a tendency to huddle together, and while proper healthy competition is a good thing, Murphy has to deal with the issue of the Vulture Corridor at the moment, and can't let the young players waste time on fighting for the wind.
"Are you the pomegranate?"
Orchid looked at Sister Pomegranate, and finally stopped at the latter's bulging chest, and whispered:
"What's so small about this?"
"Yo, hello, little pomegranate, my name is . Ahem, you can't use your real name in the game, okay, just call me Reed's name. ”
The short girl was a self-acquaintance, and immediately reached out to shake Sister Pomegranate, but her height of 155 had to look up to see Sister Pomegranate's beautiful face, which made her quite unhappy.
As a result, in the next second, Sister Pomegranate let go of Lumina, hugged Reed's name and scared her in mid-air, kicking her legs in the air.
"Wow, this little sister is so cute."
Sister Pomegranate's eyes widened and said:
"Is it true that the smarter the brain, the more beautiful the face? Strange eye color like a doll, hey, cutie, you're a half-blood, aren't you? ”
"Let me go! You strange woman with a lot of power! ”
Reed shouted fiercely, so that Sister Pomegranate shrugged her shoulders and put her down, and Lumina next to her immediately explained:
"The Aeda family is now settled in China, but don't underestimate her, this guy's gunnery is really good, probably because her mother has Texan blood and the family really has a farm, in short, the family has a family history."
"Poof"
Edina, who was hiding behind Lumina, squeezed her eyes, aimed her finger at Sister Pomegranate and made a shooting motion and simulated the sound, this quirky character made Sister Pomegranate more satisfied.
That's the teammate she wants.
"What about this one? Don't introduce it? ”
Sister Pomegranate looked at the orchid flower again.
This one didn't need Lumina's introduction, she generously stretched out her hand and said to Sister Pomegranate:
"Just call me Orchid, I'm a photographer, I heard you want to join our little group? I don't have an opinion, and others don't think either, everyone wants fresh blood to join, but Sister Cement is really not a good talker.
She's the leader of the group, and she has no plans to enter the game at the moment. ”
"Wow, do you still have an interview?"
Sister Pomegranate scratched her head and said:
"Why don't I fly over to you? It's also very convenient to take time off from this new job. ”
"I can't come."
Reed's name waved his hand solemnly and said:
"Orchid is traveling in Antarctica, my parents don't allow me to meet strange people, as for Sister Cement, if you go to her, don't think about it.
Although it is only a peripheral research, it is indeed in the military restricted area~"
"Yes, now the seven people in the group you can see are me."
Lumina sighed and said:
"I'm the most wasted of the seven, these guys are all crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and even the self-proclaimed 'perfect housewife' Lady Shui has at least two bodyguards to follow when she goes out to buy groceries.
Alas, marrying into a wealthy family is different
Everyone is the same smart person, why is the gap in life so big! ”
"Not really!"
Reeds crossed his arms with disdain and complained:
"We're not as stupid as you, all five of us have an average IQ that's 10 points higher than yours! If you count Sister Cement, that's 15 points! ”
"Hey, you little bean is really going too far!"
Lumina clenched her fist and pounded on the door of Reina's head, causing her to jump in pain, and Sister Pomegranate laughed and led the three of them towards the witch hunter camp.
In front of the defensive line, the two guys, Khaki Tony and Mud Luda Oil, are giving a "lecture" to the newcomers, in fact, they have taken over a "newcomer into the ranks" task from Miss Miriam, asking the two of them to complete the guidance for the newcomers.
"I mean, you guys have to be grateful, don't you understand?"
Dressed in cool veteran armor, Khaki Tony was carrying his double-bladed psionic axe, and he looked like an elite at first glance, and he shouted to the 18 young players around him in front of him:
"The novice village you see, the arithmetic orb you are about to get, that is, the player interface, and even the new class system that you can learn as soon as you enter the game, are all out of our old-timers who have worked hard for you with a handful of and urine!
Why don't you hurry up and say thank you, seniors? ”
"Hey, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, don't say such disgusting things."
The mud next to Luda Oil only wanted to complete this task quickly so that he could go to the witch hunter camp for a walk.
It is said that there is a large amount of "Witch Hunter's own use" equipment for sale.
Seeing that Khaki Tony, who was running with a train in his mouth, was about to turn into a Morishita senior on the spot, he immediately interrupted him, and said to the new players who were curious about everything in front of him with a smile on his face:
"Here, one person will first take a burlap bag, go around the ruins and pick up garbage, and then go to the mudhead in the survivor camp in exchange for the initial start-up capital.
Anything will come down this lap, alas, alas! Don't touch me!
You TM are men, and so am I! And I solemnly emphasize that I don't like men! ”
"No, I just see that your weapon is so handsome and glows, brother, can I touch your weapon?"
"Can't! I bought this with my life, and I am not allowed to touch my armor! The one over there! Don't take your pants off, hell! If you are seen by NPCs, you will be fined!
New players, you don't want to be sent to sweep the streets because of debt just after entering the game, do you? ”
