"That's the thing, so it's not what I want to say."

While sorting out the medicine box, she showed a helpless expression, and her actual face was full of the smug face of the merchant and the mercenary, which formed a strong contrast with the cute little girl who was simple and ignorant next to her.

"Originally, it was indeed for my daughter, her serious illness needed the [ovule of the small man-eating grass], and as a reward, the first adventurer brother did take my family's ancestral [Sword of Fortitude], but then I don't know why, a few more adventurers came to inquire about my daughter's condition."

"In the anxious and confused words of one of the little brothers, I realized that you are here for the sword, but there is only one ancestral sword. Fortunately, my husband is a blacksmith in the town, and he thinks this is a good opportunity, so he will make some extra [Tempered Sword] and put it at home after work, because I don't know why, the adventurers who have come to my house always come to my house to ask for swords. ”

"Fifteen thousand kol, or two [ovules of small man-eating herbs], or other herbs, of course, the value should be enough, but recently due to the increase in the number of adventurers, the herbs have begun to run out, and the pharmacies in the town are ready to increase the price."

"Can the little brother understand this?"

Yes, I already understand, auntie, don't laugh yet, the folds on your face are about to bite.

Wang Shui carefully walked through the dense forest, followed some hunters' paths that could be vaguely discerned, and found this small village [Horuka], although the sparrows are small, there are hotels, weapon shops, prop shops, grocery stores, etc., and they also belong to the [circle] (safe zone).

It seems that the supply point was set up to raid the dense forest.

When he saw the name of the village, Wang Shui remembered the information on the strategy website, and at the same time had an idea of his location.

And this proud aunt is one of the most valuable quest triggers in this village, and after completing the [Secret Medicine of the Forest] quest she released, she will get a rare one-handed sword called [Sword of Fortitude], which is a powerful equipment that can be used to the third layer and will not fall behind.

All of Wang Shui's knowledge of the game basically comes from reading the forum a few days ago, and in the original book, he only remembers the general plot and some famous scenes.

According to the strategy on the Internet, this should be a fixed semi-hidden task where everyone can obtain rare weapons in the early stage, but now it seems that the SAO of the real magic change has rationalized the bug of infinitely refreshing the ancestral sword.

Wang Shui doesn't care about how the game justifies, he only cares about the result.

"That's the way to go, Auntie, what is the quality of the [Sword of Fortitude] you're selling now? If it's just regular store goods, then I'm not interested. ”

"Look at what you said, weapons are not powerful because they are ancient, as long as rare materials are used with high-level forging techniques, the strength of weapons will definitely continue to rise iteratively! Come and see, this is my husband's proud work, and it is a good thing that can't be bought in the weapons store in town! ”

As she spoke, the aunt opened a vertical wooden cabinet, in which three one-handed swords of the same appearance were placed horizontally.

These are three weapons with a completely different texture from the [Bronze Sword] in Wang Shui's hand, the elongated design of the sword tip looks very sharp, and it only begins to become straight at about 20 cm, and then there is a slender and ever-widening sword body, the sword spine has a black protective paint, the blade is relatively narrow and the sword body as a whole is very thick, it looks very heavy.

The one-handed sword, which has both the effect of thrusting and slashing, is a little too long, almost twice as long as the initial [small sword], but it looks pretty good for Wang Shui's arm span.

Aqua regia opens attributes:

————

【Sword of Fortitude】

[Range: Short]

[Weapon Type: One-handed Straight Sword]

[Attack: 45-50]

[Durability: 100]

[Weight: 30]

[Equipment Requirements: Level 3]

[Enhancement Limit: 8]

[Strength: +5]

[Dexterity: +2]

[Weapon-specific skills: None]

————

Good things, in terms of attack attributes alone, are already more than five times the initial weapon, it is really not too much to say that it can be used to the third layer, in comparison, the weapon shops in the town are also [bronze sword] This kind of goods, is it possible that the good materials are all ignored by the aunt's husband?

It may be that in order to emphasize the separate forging, the attributes of the three swords on the shelf are not completely consistent, and there will be single-digit deviations in attack power, durability and weight, and among the attributes added, the strength bonus of one is even more exaggerated "7", Wang Shui has his eyes on this one at a glance.

"I've taken the task, but can I book this one first? I can use 10% more resources. ”

"Oh, you still have to operate in good faith to do business, and you won't give anyone special treatment, and whoever finishes it first can choose it in advance, but since the little brother is so good, I'll help you put it away first."

The smile on the aunt's face, Wang Shui had seen it on the face of the landlord who encouraged him to go to work and cheer, it was still so cordial from the heart.

After going out, Wang Shui first went to the armor store to buy leather armor, the leather armor here is not leather armor or large-scale woven armor, but on the base of cotton clothing, some vital parts of the leather reinforced armor.

Multi-tanned leather has a brownish-black sheen, and there are also types with metal armor inserts, but those are much more expensive.

The tops bought by Wang Shui are reinforced on the chest, shoulders, and forearms, and the pants are only at the calves, and the thickness of the nail pieces in different parts is also different. On the whole, it is relatively flexible, but the weight is much higher than the previous coarse cloth clothes, plus the newly bought thick-soled leather boots, I have to adapt to it before the battle.

In terms of defense, it has improved a lot anyway.

In addition, as a supplement, Aqua Wang also bought a few extra pieces of black bread and ten packets of salt!

That's all, he ran all the way here without additional monster farming, and the money on his body was only enough to buy armor, but fortunately, novice armor was the cheapest.

There is a small river near the village, and Wang Shui goes out to explore the river directly, so he can easily return without paying too much attention to the map, and it is convenient to get water with a water bag.

In reality, many people always feel that they don't encounter any animals when they walk into the dense forest, but in fact, it is only because the forest area near the city is small, and people will scare away animals during the day.

When you go deep into a real jungle and quietly spend some time with it and observe it carefully, you will find that the jungle "comes alive".

There were snakes, insects, rats, ants, and larger apes, foxes, and deer everywhere, and Shui Wang slowly traveled through the dense forest, discovering some endemic creatures of the game.

Giant beetle worms, giant boars with mosses on their backs, and - huge plants walking.

Their main body is like a pitcher plant, but the giant pitcher plant with a body size of two or three meters is a bit terrifying, with a bunch of root-like vines used for movement underneath, and the tooth edge of the bottle mouth is also very unscientifically made into canine-like fangs of animals, so that they can tear with their teeth.

In fact, the attack method of this monster is to rely on the vines they use to help walk to poke and whip, or spit out corrosive slime from the mouth, and the man-eating grass with fruit will also attack in a large area of poisonous mist, and the poisonous mist will also summon small man-eating grasses nearby, and the [ovule] required for the task is only available on flowering man-eating grass, which is a rare drop.

After finding the mission target, Wang Shui stopped to survey the terrain, and then found that he was not the only one nearby, and there were other players' sounds and light effects of monster farming, but he could only see the general direction under the cover of the dense forest.

Now the people who can come here are basically the liver guys of the first and second echelons, and it is estimated that they will not want to share their experience with Wang Shui. And teaming up in this game will not increase additional drops, even if it is not a game of life and death, this group of people will definitely not share the drops peacefully with Wang Shui.

Wang Shui knows this very well, because he is also such a person, and he also prefers to act alone.

The monster called the man-eating grass required by the mission,In fact, there is a detailed strategy on the forum.,After all, there are a lot of one-handed sword players.,This task is still more important.。

According to the strategy, the two most important points to deal with this monster are "watch your step" and "don't lead to man-eating grass with fruit".

The ground environment in the dense forest is very complex, with small rocks and undulating roots obscured by fallen leaves and shrubs, making it easy for players to trip over.

The man-eating grass with fruit doesn't need to be explained.,The player's initial blood volume is only more than three hundred.,A little higher level plus equipment bonuses won't exceed a thousand.,It's definitely unbearable to be besieged by its continuous toxin damage and summoning nearby brothers in the early stage.。

So Wang Shui chose one of the many playing styles given on the forum, a single lead and a single kill.

Choose a clearing to clear the clutter under your feet, then look for a man-eating grass and throw rocks to lure the monster over.

Refresh the Man-Eating Grass by killing it until it spawns a single-hundredth flowering individual, and then this monster has a chance to drop the quest item [Oviles].

Monster farming is a feature of MMORPGs and has to be savored.

Wang Shui carefully touched the back of a man-eating grass, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it hard.

At a distance of only four or five meters, a -1 damage appeared on the head of the huge man-eating grass, and then immediately turned around and chased after it.

Wang Shui was very depressed as he ran back to the battle arena he had just cleaned up, and the 1 damage from the stone made him think of the second skill slot occupied by the [Gathering] skill.

Originally, Wang Shui was going to learn the [Flying Sword] skill, oh, don't get me wrong, writing the Flying Sword is actually a throwing skill.

The sword skills carried by [Flying Sword] (yes, also called sword skills) can make the projectile fly farther and the damage is higher, and the loss of spirit is also very small (the sword skill needs to be concentrated), the only limit is the amount of ammunition, and the equipment needs to be operated in the battle.

In the early stage, you can also throw stones all over the ground to level up, although the damage of throwing stones will not be high, but it is not bad for the early stage.

The most important thing, the [Flying Sword] skill, is one of the few in this game, and perhaps the only means of long-range attack.

His mind deviated for a while, the movement speed of the man-eating grass was much slower than Wang Shui had estimated, and he returned to the clearing a long time in advance, looking at the swaying figure of the man-eating grass, he always felt as if he could do something.

Seeing that chubby body squeezing out of the dense forest, Wang Shui took the lead with a [Angry Assassination], which is a low-level rushing sword technique of a one-handed sword, which has a higher damage than the [Linear Attack] that is more commonly used in general or [Rapier], of course, the penetration distance and speed are much worse than [Linear Attack].

「-70」

There was no critical hit, but this one also knocked out about one-tenth of the opponent's HP, and Wang Shui quickly jumped to the side, and the blade in his hand slashed sideways and diagonally left and right in the fastest and most effortless way.

This is the advantage of fighting stiff monsters, and you don't need to think about the flaws in your sword moves, and you can give a quick and powerful blow.

Ten or twenty points of damage came out in large numbers with the circle attack of Aqua Wang, and in less than two minutes, the huge man-eating grass was crooked and died.

Just over a hundred experience points, more than a dozen Kel currency, and vine materials dropped, the small pop-up window containing the three types of information flashed away, and Wang Shui adjusted it to an automatic closing type.

Well, it's quick to brush up, and the experience is good.

The "spitting" action, which can be called a ranged attack, starts particularly obviously, it will stop other movements first, tighten the bottle-like body to charge and then squirt out violently, and the aqua regia can leave its front even if it walks slowly.

On the contrary, the piercing attack speed of the vine bundle is much more dangerous than expected, and the circle speed of the aqua regia attack is not checked, and it will only run two fast steps when it is locked by the vine with a slight tracking effect.

Although there is always a thrill, seeing that those vines can penetrate a big tree that is barely surrounded by a single person, Wang Shui estimates that it may be dangerous to be pierced, and the risk hidden by the seemingly easy-to-kill man-eating grass is not low.

Wang Shui twisted his neck, ready to lead another one, but stopped after taking two steps—he looked back at the dead man-eating grass.

Well? Little brother, why didn't you refresh?

No one has ever seen a phenomenon mentioned on the forum, and Wang Shui has never seen the corpse of a man-eating herb on the road.

Running back in three or two steps, Wang Shui reached out and touched the man-eating grass, and a trumpet pop-up window popped up, with only one line of words on it:

Do you use gathering skills? More items will drop when using the Gathering Tool or by hand! 】

Yes? Isn't the gathering skill only natural materials?

Wang Shui, who was a little surprised, chose to collect it directly, he didn't know what tools he needed to collect man-eating grass, and the only thing on his body seemed to be a prop that could be used, that is, his sword, and he was reluctant to consume durability like this.

The collection progress bar is fast, and the final drop is a reagent bottle with a gagged mouth.

————

【Man-eating Honey】

[Item Type: Materials, Consumables]

[Quantity: 500ml*1]

[Description: To be identified]

————

Windfall? There is some cloudy yellow-green snot-like liquid called honey?

I'll put up with the honey when the piranha drops, can you explain to me how you grew this glass reagent bottle?

Wang Shui didn't remember the name of the item he had seen, and it didn't seem to be on the drop list of Maneaters.

He was more concerned about whether this thing was valuable than tracing back to the source, after all, collecting skills and herbs was valuable, but collecting firewood was of little value, and he wasn't sure what the use of this slime honey collected from monsters was.

Wang Shui wrote a letter directly to Argo, not only expressing his doubts, but also sending the news that the difficulty of the [Sword of Fortitude] task had increased, as well as the news that the herbs and potions might increase in money.

Soon the information dealer Argo replied, first thanking the information, then saying that he had never seen the extra drop of the man-eating grass, and finally asked a paragraph in black bold text.

"Brother Tianshu already has enough skills to hang the [Gathering] skill? Unloading skills will become more and more expensive, even if the character level is upgraded to the full level, the skill grid is probably not enough, so most people will only choose one or two weapon skills, and the little brother is going to specialize in the work of gathering?"

Looking at this passage, Wang Shui almost cried, he was originally a man who was going to accompany Master Tong to fight the world, but he didn't expect that before the novice village came out, he was pitted twice by the shit talent ability.

The [Gathering] skill not only occupies the grid, so that other skills cannot be exercised in advance, but also has to book a deletion opportunity of 10,000 kels.

Before TMD deletes this skill, you must use it to earn more than 20,000 yuan!

The collected man-eating grass turned into blue glass shards like a normal death, and the aqua regia once again started the monster farming state.

During the search for the monster, he finally saw all kinds of herbs on the ground and on the trees.

Different from monsters, in addition to asking whether the herbs are collected directly, they also intimately offer the tools needed for collection, but some need shovels and some need knives, and the most painful thing is that there is a berry that asks whether to use the collection tool "hand", nonsense does not use hands and feet?

It seems that he will have to go back to the village for a while, even if it takes some time to buy these small gadgets that don't seem expensive, and at the same time ask about the value of the various herbs on his body, as well as the value of the extra honey dropped by the monster, so that he will not feel tired and tired when he sees the money increase little by little.

Inexplicably, Wang Shui felt that his game journey was exceptionally slow and rich.
