Chapter 3
Among a group of players who were in a hurry to go out to fight monsters and upgrade, Ye Xu was undoubtedly out of place, and his slow movements quickly caught the attention of some players.
“Why is there a fool here who doesn’t go out to fight monsters and wanders around in the village.” A player looked at him curiously, then shook his head and sighed, “Won’t he be deceived by some online game novel again, thinking that he was in the village? You can get the quest by talking to the NPC in here, right?”
His friend said with a smile: “Maybe they are just a landscape party, you care what others do.”
“Fart, can the Scenery Party rush to go online as soon as the server opens?”
“That’s right.” His friend stopped talking.
Although this game is the first holographic online game in history, the game company that developed “Lingyuan” is not the first time to make a game. This notorious company has always been known for its cheating. The main feature of the games produced by the company is [don’t even think about taking tasks from NPCs]. It’s not that there are no tasks, it’s just that the tasks are so few that they can be ignored.
Before the server was launched, there were senior players who deliberately learned about this in game posts, forums, groups, etc. As a result, there are not many players in the now overcrowded novice village who foolishly go to NPCs to chat. There are not many players who can enter the game as soon as the server starts, and they know this in detail.
Ye Xu ignored them and continued to walk slowly. Of course he knew the news, but the lack of tasks did not mean there were no tasks. It just so happened that he planned to test whether the luck value of the account was reliable or not, and it was more appropriate to use the method of receiving tasks to verify.
He walked leisurely for a long time, and finally a player couldn’t stand it any longer, so he took the initiative to talk to him: “Why don’t you go out and fight monsters? Be careful if you go late, you won’t be able to grab them. After a while, there will be more people than monsters.”
They kindly reminded Ye Xu that it was not easy for Ye Xu to ignore it directly, so he could only reply, “It’s fine, I’ll go after the task.”
The man was a little speechless after listening to it, thinking that this person should be a gamer, and even if not, he must have never played the games produced by the Ten Gods Game Company. He was about to show Ye Xu popular how bad this dog was compared to the game company, when he heard people laughing around.
“Where did this Xiaobai come from? You are so naive, you still want to receive a mission from the Ten Gods Temple? Stupid! Boy, listen to my advice, don’t waste your time, even if you have a conversation with everyone in the village, you will be fine. It is impossible to receive a mission. I suspect that there is no mission set at all in this novice village, if you don’t believe it, just…”
At this moment, an NPC aunt waved to Ye Xu with a smile, interrupting his chatter: “Young man, come here, I want to ask you a favor.”
Game veterans around: “???”
No, it’s hard to trigger the promised task? Why are you still actively looking for players to do quests? Are they still awake?
Ye Xu thought that he had come, and ignored these bored players, and walked straight to the aunt. Auntie didn’t even look at those old game birds, she smiled at Ye Xu like a chrysanthemum.
“Excuse me, what do you need my help to do?” Ye Xu asked as he walked to her side.
The aunt shoved the lunch box she was carrying into his hand: “It’s not a problem. My husband is weeding in the field, and he doesn’t have time to come back for dinner. I want to ask you to help me deliver the meal.”
It’s not a monster-killing task, just run errands. It wasn’t too much trouble. Although the errands were generally poorly paid, Ye Xu agreed directly.
[You accepted the quest “Delivering Food for Deli”, quest level: white. 】
The field was outside the village, Ye Xu looked around, not sure which field it was, and the system didn’t say anything. He simply asked Aunt Deli directly, and the other party pointed him in the direction, which was the road to the south side of the village.
After Ye Xu left, a group of stunned players finally came back to their senses, hula la swarmed over, and surrounded the NPC auntie.
“Auntie, do you need any help? You can find me!”
“Sister, look at me, I am willing to help you!”
“Beautiful lady, do you need me to bring some water to your husband? Weeding is hard work, right?”
“…”
It’s almost shameless, and you can say whatever name you want to take on the task.
Aunt Deli was pushed around by them, and her face became more and more ugly. With a stout stature, she pushed aside the guys who were in the way, turned around and went back to pick up the broom leaning against the door.
The sturdy NPC aunt is also very good in terms of attack power, and almost all players who are swept by the broom are shot away without any counter-attack. If it weren’t for the novice protection below level 5, it is estimated that each of them would have to recover their work points. Seeing that the others couldn’t receive the quest and couldn’t beat the NPC, they had to touch their noses and disperse angrily, daring not to entangle any more.
On the way out, there were players talking about Ye Xu, puzzled. They can’t figure out why they are all players. Some people can encounter NPCs who take the initiative to issue tasks, but they are so sad.
His teammate suddenly thought of something and said, “Did you notice what shoes the player who took the quest was wearing?”
“It seems to be a very beautiful shoe, the grade should not be low…”
“He looks like he’s only level 1, he doesn’t look like he’s done a mission, where did the shoes come from?”
The two looked at each other and said in unison, “Newbie gift pack!”
The case has been solved, an Ou Huang who can open gorgeous equipment from the novice gift bag, and encounters an NPC who takes the initiative to issue a quest, isn’t that a matter of course? After all, the world of the European Emperor is something that their non-chiefs cannot understand.
“You said, how lucky is his account?” the player murmured.
His teammates ignored him, directly opened the game forum, and put the incident to the irrigation area: [Shock! A peerless European emperor appears in the novice village! NPCs are actively releasing tasks! 】
What are the people who eat melons most concerned about during this time period? Of course it’s a mission! They were too curious about how to get the quest in this broken game. After all, leveling up monsters is really not fun. The monsters are not easy to mess with, and they look ugly.
So this post quickly became popular with the keyword [quest], and Ye Xu’s back in the main building was also studied by countless people. Especially his pair of shoes of unknown rank, soon some old game birds recognized that they were blue equipment, and the nickname “Blue Shoes Ouhuang” spread throughout the irrigation area.
Fortunately, he didn’t give out a green hat…
Cough, at this stage, Ye Xu still doesn’t know that he will have a strange nickname soon, and he is doing his task seriously.
When he reached the entrance of the village, he stopped. Because he didn’t know which uncle outside the village was Aunt Deli’s husband, he aimed at the old man who was basking in the sun at the entrance of the village and decided to ask him.
The mission of this game is too pitiful, and no hints are given. Although he was indeed attracted by the “100% authenticity” in the slogan, he didn’t want to be so real when he did the quest. Could the game’s quest panel be useful?
Ye Xu walked to the reclining chair, and then saw the old man with the title of village head on his head. He crouched down beside him: “Mr. village head, do you know where Aunt Deli’s husband is?”
“Xiao Deli?” The village chief narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, “Oh, it should be in the fifth field outside the village, which is the farmland of Xiao Deli’s family. You walk along this path, and soon I can see him.”
Ye Xu thanked him, and was about to stand up and leave, but the village chief held the hem of his clothes: “Young man, wait a moment.”
“Excuse me, is there anything you want me to help with?” Ye Xu suddenly understood, and squatted back again.
The old village chief smiled and took out ten copper coins from his pocket: “It’s like this, I have a little granddaughter who likes to eat candy sold by Sarah’s house. But my old man’s legs are not good, so it’s not convenient to buy it, you help me I’ll buy one for her, and the rest of the money will be your hard work.”
“Okay, no problem.” Ye Xu nodded, took the ten copper coins and put them away. This time, he learned his lesson and first asked where Sarah’s shop was, and then where was the village chief’s little granddaughter.
However, he had inquired about the store, but the location of the little granddaughter was unclear. The old village chief said that his little granddaughter likes to play in the village, and he doesn’t know where he is now, so he asked him to find it himself.
Ye Xu had an ominous premonition that he was about to face the bear child, but for the sake of the task, he decided to endure it.
After collecting the copper coins, he continued to walk out. Deliver the meal first, then go back to the task of making candy.
Ye Xu was vigilant while walking. Because of the relationship between the mission and the shoes, the players around him paid a lot of attention to him. There is no way to do this, after all, he is too special among a group of barefoot players, and he can’t stand out if he wants to. But he just talked to the village chief and took over the second mission. He felt that the players looked at him and wanted to kill him.
However, due to the protection of the novice, until he walked out of the village, no players came up to contain him. On the contrary, as soon as he left, many people gathered around the village chief, trying to trigger some quests.
Ye Xu ignored them and left the village quickly, bypassing the player who was hitting the level 1 strange cabbage caterpillar at the door, and went straight to the fifth field.
The players who pulled the quest were lucky this time, and the village chief really released the second quest. The old man squinted his eyes for a while, and selected a player from the crowd who looked the best to bully, and said to him, “Young man, I can tell from a glance that you are a good-hearted and good-hearted boy.”
There was a hint of joy on the man’s face: “Of course, I like to be a good person since I was a child! So, do you need any help from me, village chief?”
The village chief showed a slight smile: “That’s right, I have an eldest grandson who likes meat buns very much. Can you buy him a meat bun for me? You can buy it in Sarah’s small shop.”
“I’m very happy to serve you!” The player agreed immediately, and did not bother why Ye Xu bought candy and meat buns. He turned his head and ran away with the copper coins given by the village chief, for fear that the village chief would regret it. Before running away, he faintly heard the village chief tell him that the extra money was his running expenses.
He thought happily that he really earned it. A bun doesn’t cost much, but he saw that the village chief gave the first player ten copper coins before. Fighting cabbage caterpillars outside and killing several of them may not result in a single copper coin. The coin explosion rate of this game is extremely ridiculous.
Then when he ran to a place where no one was around, he opened his palm and found that he only had a single copper coin in his hand.
Player: “???”
Not to mention whether one copper coin can buy meat buns, even if one copper coin can buy two meat buns, it is impossible for the shop owner to find him half a copper coin for change, right? Copper coins are already the smallest monetary unit!
He reasonably suspects that the village chief does not want to give him money at all.
