Chapter 8 Changes in the Plot

Ten minutes later, the doctor invited by Li Xiaoyao was already in front of Aunt Li's bed, and told Li Xiaoyi that it was an old disease, and the only way was to go to Xianling Island to get the elixir.

Shen Yi took the opportunity to propose to go with Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao accepted.

The system really gave the task.

"Temporary task: Escort Li Xiaoyao to Xianling Island to obtain the elixir."

"This task is the first link of the main line-level serial task. After completing it, you will be rewarded with 100 points. Regardless of whether you participated in the previous task or not, adventurers can enter the next task. After completing all links, you can get a total reward of up to 27,000 points. "

Seeing this mission statement, Shen Yi suddenly realized.

It is said to be a serial mission, but it can be known from its total reward amount of 27,000 points. In fact, this is a hidden main mission to ensure that it will not be obliterated.

The protection and escort of Li Xiaoyao will be from the beginning of the plot to the end of the plot.

Different from the general main task, this chain task must be triggered by itself, and it does not need to be a complete task.

Adventurers can actually join the main line of protecting Li Xiaoyi at any place and at any time, and the rewards they get will depend on the tasks they participate in.

Since Shen Yi started to accept the mission from the initial plot, as long as he completes all the links, he can get 27,000 points.

It is not necessarily impossible to disconnect. For example, Shen Yi can give up a certain task in the middle, and he can still continue at the breakpoint. Anyway, the final calculation is based on the number of links and tasks.

This situation is also in line with the principle of the city, that is, when it reaches the fourth difficulty, the conditions for obliteration will not be too harsh. As long as you go all the way, the most basic survival can still be completed. And if you want to get more rewards, you have to work harder on this basis.

Of course, it’s okay not to have this hidden mainline quest. At worst, you can find other quests with higher blood point rewards. Anyway, as long as you can reach the standard of 27,000 points.

This mission was posted to Shen Yi, Wei Chibai had no share, obviously Li Xiaoyao had no intention of going with Wei Chibai at all.

Shen Yi took out the speech he had prepared before, and Wei Chibo also took the opportunity to apologize, claiming that he was greedy for a while and almost missed his little brother's future. Now that he knew his mistake, he would like to do his best for Aunt Li's illness.

Under Shen Yi's persuasion, Li Xiao thought that he was going to be a hero,

So he didn't care about Wei Chibo, and Wei Chibo finally received this task.

But this does not mean that Li Xiaoyao really forgave Wei Chibai.

To be precise, Shen Yi's teaching is from a rational point of view, telling him what is correct and letting him go on the right path, but it does not mean that Li Xiaoyao must accept Wei Chibo because of this.

His hatred of Wei Chibo is an instinctive aversion to others robbing his own interests, and it cannot be resolved with a few words, let alone a heroic demeanor to love the world.

He just pretended to show his demeanor because of Shen Yi's teaching.

This is like some celebrities speaking on stage, and some people booed and objected below. The celebrities smiled and Mimi patiently explained, but in their hearts they wanted to step down from the stage and punch each other, turning all those who attacked them into pigs.

The same is true for Li Xiaoyao now, reason and emotion are at odds, so even though Wei Chibai is given the task, he is still in a mess when facing him in his heart.

If Jiu Jianxian could accept him as an apprentice, then Li Xiaoyao might really forgive him, but unfortunately this is doomed to be impossible, so Li Xiaoyao's thorn in Wei Chibai's heart cannot be erased in a short time.

Shen Yi was so happy. If Wei Chibai didn't know each other any more, then maybe he would replace "every river meets the sea, tolerance is greatness" with rhetoric such as "unbearable, get rid of evil". I believe that when the time comes, his strength will greatly increase Li Xiaoyao would be more than happy to beat Wei Chibai hard and kick him out of his team.

At this moment, a series of escort missions started, and Wei Chibo was very excited. For all adventurers, ensuring survival is the first key, and as long as they have this foundation, they can go around in this labyrinth world to their heart's content, looking for all potential treasures.

Of course, his fate is still in the hands of Li Xiaoyao, if Li Xiaoyao doesn't want him to join, he can be driven out at any time, and Shen Yi is someone who can influence Li Xiaoyao, so he can't help but rejoice that he and Shen Yi have reached a settlement.

This is also why he and Shen Yi have no deep hatred, if it is the Dane family's team, Shen Yi would never let them join. It is estimated that because of this, they did not give up on this aspect from the beginning, but found another way.

Since the monsters in Xianling Island are not strong and the point rewards are not high, Shen Yi and Wei Chibai did not call their team members over, but prepared to embark on the journey directly.

But before that, there is one more thing, that is, the Miao people donate medicine.

Sure enough, when Li Xiaoyao left the shop, he met a Miao man, and after the conversation, the Miao man's messenger gave Li Xiaoyao a Sky-breaking Hammer and Wangyou San.

At this moment, the coats of arms of the two sounded at the same time:

"Temporary task, stop Li Xiaoyao from taking Wangyou Powder to complete the task, and reward 100 blood points. If you give up the reward, you can get the follow-up task."

The two were startled at the same time.

Everyone realized at the same time that the plot has developed to this point, the initial plot is over, and the next step is the unpredictable maze plot.

Various missions may be issued in the bloody city anytime and anywhere, or the plot may be changed, or the plot may return.

The problem is that you don't know which of these tasks are suitable and which are not.

The task in front of him is obviously a plot-changing task, and the reward of 100 points is already as high as the task of escorting Li Xiaoyao.

From this point of view, Wei Chibo believes that this is probably a decoy mission, once accepted, it will lead adventurers to a dead end in the plot.

But Shen Yi suddenly made a lightning strike, took Wangyousan from Li Xiaoyao's hand, and said seriously: "This is a panacea, it should be swallowed with water, otherwise the medicine will not be able to dissipate, go, Xiaoyao, go to the kitchen and bring a glass of water .”

"Hey!" Li Xiaoyao obeyed Shen Yiyan and ran to the kitchen to fetch water.

At the same time, Shen Yi had thrown Wangyousan into the bloody emblem, and took out a healing pill.

Although the Miao envoy was also a master, he had never seen such a thing as a bloody coat of arms, and he never expected that Shen Yi would drop the medicine right under his nose.

When Li Xiaoyao came back, Shen Yi gave Li Xiaoyao the healing medicine.

Wei Chibo was very anxious. What he felt distressed was not the reward of 100 blood points, but that he dared to accept such an obvious bait task. Wouldn't he be afraid of the big trouble caused by changing the plot?

It's just that when he made an agreement with Shen Yi, he had already agreed to focus on Shen Yi, and it was really not suitable for him to turn against Shen Yi now, so he could only hold back for now.

The Bloody Emblem has already prompted:

"Complete the temporary mission and give up the reward to get the follow-up mission."

"Give up the reward."

"The task reward is forfeited, the follow-up task will start after Li Xiaoyao arrives at Fairy Island."

The task is completed, and everyone no longer wastes time, bid farewell to those Miao people and go to Xianling Island.

On the way, Wei Chibo finally couldn't help questioning Shen Yi: "Are you fucking crazy? Why on earth did you do this mission? You should know the consequences! Li Xiaoyao couldn't have forgotten Zhao Linger if he hadn't taken Wangyousan. How can you develop? I didn't expect you to be so greedy that you can't even see such an obvious bait!"

Shen Yi glanced at Wei Chibai, and answered slowly: "Have you walked through the maze?"

Wei Chibo was taken aback, and replied, "I've played the maze game before."

"Then when you walk the maze, don't you never take the wrong path?"

Wei Chibo was stunned again: "How is this possible?"

"That's fine." Shen Yi spread his hands together: "The essence of the plot maze is that there are many forks. You will never be able to avoid detours and enter any dead ends. In fact, although the city has hidden the main line for us, it does not mean that we will continue What happens next will definitely happen according to the rules of the plot. If you dare not take this task or that task because you are afraid of going the wrong way, it means that you are actually at the fork in the maze, looking left and right. Dare to take a step."

Speaking of this, he patted Wei Chibai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Facing the maze, what you have to do is not to be at a loss, but to take a bold step∵It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, it's okay to go back if it's a big deal. If you don't go, It’s the real problem. You see, Wangyousan is in my hands. If I don’t think it’s suitable, I can let him take it again at any time. One thing, as long as there is a chance to turn back, then we can go Try. Only those who have done it and can no longer turn back, must be extremely cautious... For example, if you talk to me in this tone again, I promise you will never turn back. "

Speaking of the latter, Shen Yi's tone had become even colder than Wei Chibai's icy air, Wei Chibai was also surprised when he heard it.

"Sorry, I apologize for what I just said," he said.

"That's about the same, let's go."

They have come to the edge of the fishing port, and a small fishing boat is moored beside the pier.

Stepping on the fishing boat, the first official mission of Legend of Sword and Fairy began.

———————————

From the fishing port to Xianling Island, it takes about half a day by boat.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Shen Yi hugged his knees, watching the oars slapping the water surface and setting off waves, he felt a strange warm feeling in his heart.

Since he entered the city, he has experienced mostly western magic or science fiction worlds. He has seen more of the fast pace of the modern world and the gloomy coldness of the magical world. , as if you are in a world of ink and wash, a rich, fresh and pleasant local atmosphere blows in your face, and you have the feeling of comfort when you return to rural life from the modern city.

Therefore, even if you just sit and watch the white waves on the water, you feel extremely comfortable, and you can't help but say to yourself: "When it comes to style, it's still the most lyrical and beautiful in China."

Li Xiaoyan came over and sat down beside Shen Yi: "Brother Shen Yi, what is Weimei? What is China?"

Shen Yi smiled, and said casually: "It's nothing, I'm speaking our local dialect, which means that this water town in the south of the Yangtze River has beautiful people, beautiful water, beautiful scenery...Anyway, everything is beautiful."

Li Xiaoyao asked earnestly: "Egg pain is also a slang term in my hometown? I don't know what it means?"

"...It means being irritable and feeling depressed."

"So that's how it is. Yesterday, I didn't understand Eldest Brother's desire to be perfect, and acted too hastily, which annoyed Eldest Brother. Xiaoyao felt ashamed."

"nothing."

"By the way, Brother Shen, it is said that there are monsters on Fairy Island, but I have never seen a monster. Brother Shen, have you ever seen a monster?"

"... seen."

"Are monsters scary?"

In the game, Li Xiaoyao fights monsters the first time he sees them, without the slightest fear or horror, but here, Li Xiaoyao has an instinctive fear of monsters.

In fact, this is normal. If you suddenly encounter a chicken yelling that the younger generation will die and rush towards you, you will also be afraid.

Therefore, it is conceivable that without Shen Yiwei Chibai and the others escorting them all the way, Li Xiaoyao might have been beaten to death the first monster he encountered.

Shen Yi smiled: "It's nothing. There are spirits in the heaven and earth, and they give birth to all things. There can be humans, chickens and ducks, but why can't there be monsters? The so-called monsters are actually nothing but grass and trees turning into spirits, birds and beasts turning into spirits, and enlightened wisdom." If you have some skills, it may not be so terrible. People in the world are ignorant, exaggerate, make a fuss, spread rumors, you will be a hero in the world in the future, you must not catch wind and shadow, and don't know right from wrong. Everything should be seen with your own eyes and ears. Listen, use your brain to think more. As for whether there are monsters on the Fairy Island, we will naturally know after we go up."

"Brother said yes, Xiaoyao understands." Li Xiaoyao bowed to Shen Yi. He was originally a smart and studious person. Although he was a bit cynical and youthful in the game, after meeting Shen Yi, he showed His hardworking side.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi said: "There may be monsters on Fairy Island, but I don't know how powerful they are. After a while, when I meet monsters, I will weigh them for you first. If your strength is not strong, you can do it alone. To deal with it, Chi Bo and I will only watch from the sidelines and guide you."

Wei Chibo was startled: "If you let him face it by himself, wouldn't that be..."

He wanted to say that if Shen Yi killed all the monsters, wouldn't we lose all benefits? After all, plot characters will not be rewarded for killing monsters.

Shen Yi turned his head sharply, glared at him, his eyes were slightly sharp, Wei Chibai couldn't say the following words, Shen Yi said: "Xiaoyao is still young and lacks experience, I know you care about his safety, but if everything Help him catch him, how will he grow up? I have never heard of any powerful monsters in the area of ​​the water town. If I don’t take this opportunity to let Xiaoyao fight a lot and work hard to grow, how will he deal with the real powerful monsters in the future? God To be entrusted with great responsibility, you must first suffer your muscles and bones, exhaust your mind, and starve your body. If you don’t want to take this opportunity today, you and I will watch the battle and guard you, and also give you some advice. If any powerful monsters appear, It’s not too late to make a move.”

Shen Yi's meaning is very clear. Although we are taking on the protection mission, don't forget that Li Xiaoyao himself also needs to grow. After all, he will be one of the main forces against the big boss in the future. For this super-talented protagonist, if you don't give him a chance to grow now, the road ahead will become more and more difficult. Why make your task difficult every step of the way for a little profit.

Wei Chibo understood what he meant, and after thinking about what he said was right, he could only nod in agreement, but he also knew that Li Xiaoyao was doomed to many risks.

Different from the original plot, in the original plot, as long as the player upgrades step by step, he can always pass the level.

But here, without the help of adventurers, maybe Li Xiaoyao would die in the wilderness as soon as he left the house.

How to achieve a perfect balance between protection, training, killing monsters and seizing treasures is the key to determining the success or failure of this mission, and it is also a test of the adventurer's ability.

If only there was a priest.

Shen Yi couldn't help but let out such a sigh again.

Unexpectedly, the priest not only determines the long-term combat power of the team, but also has the function of leading apprentices.

Half a day later, Fairy Island arrived.
