11. The Village Chief's Sorrow
Ying Zheng knew that Ying Ying was a man of opinion, but he had been playing games together for seven or eight years, and he was considered a veteran of the Great Qin Empire. He had a good friendship, so he said patiently: "We have enemies all over the world, and I know that I have bald heads. How do I know who it is? Zhou Xing, I've never heard of it."
Ying Ying hurriedly said: "I guess he changed his name, we can't let him go!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, keep a low profile first, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, take the time to upgrade to level 10, and then gather in the main city!"
After hanging up the phone, Shadow logged into the game again, and then saw his first enemy walking into the village with a smile, walked up to the old man with white beard, and started talking with him.
"Young man, I did not misread you, you have completed the task!" The old man laughed.
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Old man, you are wrong, didn't you say before that this task was only given to me, but as far as I know, you gave it to someone else."
The old man smiled and said, "How can killing a few stupid bears be regarded as a bronze-level task? Of course, it has to increase the difficulty. Obviously, you are the winner, and this is your reward!" After finishing speaking, the old man handed him 20 red fruits .
Zhou Xing was dumbfounded when he saw it, and said, "Just give this? Isn't this a bronze-level task?"
The old man pointed to the blast boots on Zhou Xing's feet and said, "Didn't you already get the real reward?"
"Oh, co-author, are you trying to push our two groups to PK? You old man is so bad! ... It's okay, okay, I don't care about you, just return the deposit to me."
The old man scratched his ears and asked in a daze, "What deposit? What is the deposit?"
Zhou Xing was amused, and said to Lilith: "This NPC is shameless, what should I do?"
Lilith shrugged and said: "There are all kinds of people in reality, and the NPCs in "Sanctuary" also have different personalities. There are high and low personalities. This is Novice Village. You can't attack NPCs, but you can go to the village chief to reason. If the village head doesn't care, he can only admit that he is unlucky."
Zhou Xing couldn't swallow this breath, after all, it was 10 silver coins, which was a lot of money. After several inquiries, he finally found the village head, who received him alone.
Zhou Xing suppressed his anger and said respectfully: "Dear village chief, that old man named George in your village defrauded me of 10 silver coins in the name of collecting a deposit. This money is very important to me. I think it is necessary to report to you. , please uphold justice."
That George looked to be in his fifties, but the village head was much older, he seemed to be in his seventies or eighties. He leaned on crutches and bent his waist, his old face was covered with wrinkles.
After listening to Zhou Xing's complaint, the village chief coughed twice, and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, this George, he really won't change after repeated admonitions. If my granddaughter Jenny is still here, I will definitely speak well of him and get your money back , What a pity, she was snatched away by bandits...cough cough...damn bandits!"
When Zhou Xing heard it, his eyes lit up immediately. This is the rhythm of the task! Could it be that that rambunctious George is a link in the mission chain? Thinking of this, Zhou Xing hurriedly said: "Respect the village chief, after listening to your words, my heart is full of anger. I didn't expect that there are bandits outside the village. I am willing to exterminate them! Save your granddaughter!"
The village head glanced at Zhou Xing and sighed, "No, your strength is too low, and you will die in vain if you go."
Zhou Xing understood that he thought he was low-level, so he asked, "What kind of strength is enough?"
"Only those who can pick up the boulder at the east entrance of the village and walk ten meters away."
Zhou Xing felt that this was a big task, and it was probably the only task. In other words, once someone completed it, the task would disappear, but the rewards for all such tasks were excellent. Zhou Xing's heart was moved, and action was better than action, so he immediately ran to the east entrance of the village, and saw a big stone lying on the side at a glance, he bent down to hug the stone, but with all his strength, the stone was only slightly I can't lift it off the ground.
"What are you doing?" Jian Yu, who had been silent all this time, asked curiously.
Zhou Xing looked at the other party's good equipment and said, "Lend me your black iron suit."
"which one you want?"
"Hats, coats, rings and necklaces."
Jian Yu nodded one after another, took off a few pieces of equipment, and handed them over to Zhou Xing.
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Zhou Xing couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I might run away if I put it on?"
Jian Yu laughed one after another: "A few pieces of equipment let me recognize a person, it's a good deal."
Zhou Xing also laughed, put on the equipment immediately, and went to hug the stone again. This time, the stone was already half a foot off the ground, but it was still far from the village chief's requirement.
"What are you doing?" Jian Yu asked again.
"I received a mission, but my strength is not enough. It seems that I have to continue to upgrade." Zhou Xing said, taking off the equipment and returning it to the other party.
A few hours later, the two killed monsters so much that they almost threw up. Zhou Xing finally reached level 7, while Jian Yuyuan reached level 5. In "Sanctuary", each level requires 30% more experience points than the previous level, and it is a bit difficult to upgrade.
"It can't be done, my mother told me to eat, let's play in the evening." Jian Yu stopped swinging his sword one after another, and said helplessly.
"Oh, let's go." Zhou Xing swung his sword mechanically, feeling exhausted and numb in his arms.
"Aren't you going to eat? It's almost eight o'clock!"
"It's okay, I'll eat later."
"Niucha! Physical madness!"
Immediately, the two added friends in the game, and Jian Yu went offline one after another.
Zhou Xing smiled wryly, stopped swinging his sword, and sat on the ground with his back against the big tree. He still doesn't know what happened to him. In his impression, he didn't eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but he didn't feel hungry. And, most importantly, once offline, his world turned into darkness, boundless darkness, he couldn't move an inch, and he lost control of his body.
So, he didn't dare to go offline, just like a child who dared not walk alone at night, he was afraid that all this was just a dream, once he went offline, he would be swallowed by the darkness again, and he would never be able to return to his dream. He tried to figure out what was going on, but when he tried to think about it, he got a headache, and it drove him crazy.
"Ding dong! Fengse Fantasy invites you to join the team, do you agree?" A system prompt pulled Zhou Xing back from deep thinking.
Zhou Xing couldn't help raising his head, and then saw a girl with a ponytail, who was looking at him curiously, and when he saw him, he smiled and asked: "Why are you downcast, can't you be tricked by someone buying equipment? "
Zhou Xing forced a smile, declined the invitation to form a team, and said, "I'm tired from leveling, let's take a break."
Unexpectedly, Feng Se Huan Hua threw another invitation, saying: "All my friends have gone offline for dinner, it's boring for me to kill monsters by myself."
Zhou Xing chose to refuse again, saying: "I don't want to kill monsters now, it's not good to eat experience for nothing."
Feng Se fantasies quit, she stared, and sent the invitation for the third time, angrily said: "You are Zhuge Liang, you should come out of the mountain, right?"
