Chapter 1008: Clarify Your Thoughts
As Chen Ming's domain shrank and retracted, the queen also turned slightly and looked at Chen Ming with subtle concern.
As a puppet, Chen Ming relied on manipulating his senses to create illusions. Obviously, he couldn't deceive the queen into it. She immediately noticed something was wrong, and even discovered Chen Ming's self-mutilation.
"never mind."
Chen Ming didn't make a sound, he just made a mouth gesture.
"I have something to tell you."
The queen understood, and after she withdrew her gaze, she sent the children away as quickly as possible, then pretended to be a puppet and swayed back behind Chen Ming.
The children obviously did not enjoy themselves to the fullest. At their request, Shisan immediately invited Chen Ming and others to stay, hoping to have dinner with him.
Chen Ming naturally agreed, but then he proposed that he wanted to visit the village. Shisan did not doubt that he was there and immediately nodded and agreed, but Chen Ming did not forget to give him a warning before leaving.
"The village is not big, and everyone is very friendly. You can go around as you like, and no one will say anything about you, as long as you don't break into other people's homes at will."
"The only thing that needs attention is the old house in the middle of the village."
"It looks very dilapidated, but it is actually an old temple in our village to worship the river god. Because our ancestors' rules have always been to only repair and not to renovate, it looks like it is abandoned."
"But you must not go in."
"Besides there, you can go wherever you want."
After hearing this, Chen Ming nodded, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
If the NPC here said the same thing to other players who came here, then there would be no doubt that this old house would be explored non-stop by the players.
After all, most players who only think this is a game will subconsciously feel that the emphasis is because the game is hinting that they want to explore.
After Shisan and the others returned to the room, Chen Ming lowered his voice and asked, "Would you like to take a look at the old temple that worships the river god?"
"Don't be impulsive. That place can easily arouse the reaction of the mysterious force in the Echo Snow. If you haven't assimilated it deeply enough yet, you have aroused it, but you can't rely on assimilation to convey your fear to it... On the contrary, you will scare the snake and force it to give up assimilating to you. "
"Don't think that giving up on assimilation is a good thing. It belongs to the nature of a child. When it realizes that your toy is not only disobedient but even vindictive, it will completely destroy you before giving up on you."
"Becoming a madman is the final outcome."
Become a madman...
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Chen Ming reacted immediately and stabbed himself in the thigh with a backhand.
A huge stream of useless information flooded his mind.
Swallowing the thought that happened to him just now.
The queen looked at the dagger that was embedded in Chen Ming's thigh and couldn't help but frowned, "What are you..."
"Keep yourself from imagining things."
"Does it have to be so cruel..."
"Yes, or if you bear the pain for me, it will be the same if I give you a knife."
The queen quietly moved away, a little away from Chen Ming, "I'm a puppet, I can't feel pain, don't try to meddle with me."
Chen Ming was too lazy to answer her. After controlling his thoughts, he continued to ask, "So what should we do next?"
"Continue to increase the favorability of the villagers. Come on, open the map and I will mark it for you."
The map opens.
As a teammate, the Queen already holds the authority to mark and has left several marks on the map.
"These are the places where you should be able to receive the mission. I just got a lot of information about the villagers from those little brats."
"I've marked you in order from green to orange. Let's start with the green ones, and accumulate them bit by bit to gain their recognition of you."
"Only in this way can I grasp the degree of your assimilation."
"Take your time, understand?"
Chen Ming glanced at it and found that the marks on the map were densely packed.
If you look at it according to the default size, the entire Yanan Village has been filled with icons. You have to enlarge the map to barely see where these icons are marked.
"There are... so many tasks here?!"
Chen Ming showed a shocked expression.
Although he had long heard that there were quite a lot of quests for NPCs in Echo Snow, and it was so fast to come here to pick up quests and level up, but when he saw it, he realized that he still underestimated the word of mouth from the players in his previous life.
As we all know, missions are hard to find in the game Honor.
A simple task can keep players happy for half a day.
Many times, in a huge city, there are only a few missions, and players have to meet various conditions before they can receive them.
Many people start from level 0 and follow the footsteps of the large army to play to more than 30 levels. The only tasks they have done are daily tasks published in various places.
And the mission here...
Chen Ming took a cursory glance.
At this moment, I saw thirty or forty of them!
And he hasn’t counted them down yet.
Because there are many NPCs marked by the Queen, they not only release one mission... they have three or five missions at the same time!
It was as if I had suddenly returned to the old MMORPG games. When the character controlled by the player went to a new place, he would find the screen full of gold, silver, green, and blue exclamation marks.
Every two steps was a task.
There were so many tasks that could never be completed!
"Damn..." Chen Ming couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "If I can complete these tasks, I'm afraid I can reach level 38 or 39, right?"
Suddenly, Chen Ming had an idea, "By the way, if I can intimidate that guy, I can act recklessly in this snowy plain, for example... complete all the tasks here?!"
Chen Ming couldn't help but breathe faster just by asking this question.
If this is possible, then the upgrade speed is really no slower than that of the Fallen Wind Demon Tower!
"What are you thinking, there is no such good thing!"
The queen poured a basin of cold water on him mercilessly.
"Do you think you scared it, the kind of fright that deters it?"
"You overestimate yourself."
"Let me put it this way, do you know the big cockroaches in Yangcheng? Cockroaches in other places are very small and can only crawl, but the big cockroaches in Yangcheng are not only big, but can even fly!"
"When you tried to kill the cockroach, it suddenly flew up and pounced on your face. If it were you, would you also be scared to fly up?"
"Would you also give up the idea of killing it and stay away from it?"
"But this is only temporary."
"If the big cockroach not only does not hide, but continues to show off in front of you, even if you are scared, you will finally overcome that fear, and then find the right opportunity to step on it to death, right?"
"You are the big cockroach."
"After scaring off that mysterious power, you should run away quickly... You still want to continue to hang around in front of it. Do you think you have lived too long?"
After being scolded by the queen, Chen Ming couldn't help rubbing his nose.
I seem to have taken it for granted.
"Okay, I understand what you mean..."
"Let's do what you said next and complete the task."
"When we have accumulated enough assimilation, we will go to the river god temple in the middle of the village and try to anger that guy, force him out, and then use fear to stimulate him so that he will give up on me."
Chen Ming sorted out his thoughts.
The queen nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"I understand." Chen Ming found the nearest green-level task on the map, "Let's start from here!"
