Night slowly approached, but Tiger Star did not log off. He thought that there should be no one in the novice village now. When he returned to the village, he was stunned. Why didn't the number of people decrease? Instead, it increased. He arrived at the Novice Square. The village chief was still there. Although there were many players, there were clearly fewer. He walked up and after ten minutes, he was finally in line. Thirty minutes later, it was finally his turn.
"Village chief, is there anything I can help you with?”Hu Xing Ke said angrily.
"Oh, there's a place for young people! Not bad, not bad. Blacksmith Wang from the west of our village said he needs some manpower. Go to him and take a look. It might be helpful to your journey in the martial world.”The village chief looked at the white-haired Hu Xing and said.
"Thank you, Village Chief." After saying that, he walked towards the west of the village. The blacksmith shop in the west of the village was not too far away. Before Tiger Star arrived, he heard the sound of metal being knocked. He walked in, and a wave of heat hit his face. Tiger Star paused for a moment before walking in. He saw a middle-aged warrior smashing a red-hot metal piece with all his might. He didn't disturb the warrior, but waited quietly at the side.
"Young man, what do you see in me?”The warrior asked without turning his head. He put the iron piece into a basin of clear water and a puff of smoke came out of the basin.
" Power, harmony, silence." Hu Xing said quietly. When Hu Xing said these words, the warrior turned around and looked at him. When he saw his white hair, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at Hu Xing again and asked,"Did the village chief ask you to come and find me?”
"Yes, he said you needed some help.”Tiger Star Jue answered concisely.
The warrior wiped the sweat off his body with a wet cloth and said,"Yes, many outsiders have come to the village recently. With the increase in demand, some materials in my weapon shop are in short supply. I hope that young hero can help me.”He glanced at Tiger Star.
"No problem. What do you need?”Hu Xing said.
"100 iron ores, 200 copper ores, 300 silver ores, 400 gold ores, and one black iron ore.”The warrior looked at the young man in front of him meaningfully.
Tiger Star didn't know what this meant. He thought that the system would definitely not give out quests that players couldn't do, so he nodded without hesitation. "No problem, but I hope I can become your disciple in the future."”The warrior was overjoyed. Such a good seedling already had the intention to take him in as a disciple. He did not expect him to ask for it. This mission would not be completed without ten to half a month. To other players, this was a life-threatening task, but he did not care. "No problem. As long as you can complete these tasks, you will be my last disciple."”
"Alright, it's a deal." Hu Xing said expressionlessly.
As soon as he finished answering, the system prompted him,"Ouyang Smelting has taught you the mining technique. Do you want to learn it?"”
"Studying." Hu Xing replied swiftly.
[Congratulations, Tiger Star. You have learned Mining. Beginner Mining.]”
"This is the pickaxe I used back then. Take it first. You have to return it after you use it.”Ouyang Smelting said with a smile.
"Thank you. May I ask where the mine is?”Hu Xing asked.
Ouyang Smelting said," Our Summer Concubine Village is near the sea behind the village. If you go up northeast along the coast, you can reach a Kuangqu. It is very likely that sea monsters above level 10 will appear along the coast. Zombies or maggots may spawn at any time when you reach the mining area. Go during the day, but don't go at night. You should be careful."”
"Yes." Hu Xing replied.
"Oh right, go to the east of the village and see a Physician Zhang. He said that he needs some medicinal herbs recently. Go to him and take a look.”Ouyang Smelting said with a smile.
"Alright, goodbye uncle." After Hu Xing finished speaking, he had already walked out of the room.
Ouyang Smelting looked at the disappearing Tiger Star and said,""Was it right or wrong for me to take you as my disciple? What would happen to the weapon forged by a child without energy? Sigh! He would take it one step at a time. At least his understanding was the essence of forging weapons. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It all depended on his luck.”
Hu Xing quickly came to a medicine shop. There was a square hanging in front of the medicine shop with a big word on it. There were players coming in and out of the door to buy potions. Tiger Star walked in, and a female acolyte came up to him and asked,""I wonder what kind of medicine this hero wants?
"No, I heard from Uncle Ouyang that your pharmacy needs some herbs. I'm here to help.”Hu Xing said.
"Oh, I see! As the players 'demand increased, the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy were indeed insufficient. Then, he would have to trouble the chivalrous warrior to help collect 20 toad venom potions.”The female apprentice laughed.
"I'll go now." After Hu Xing finished speaking, he walked out of the village.
"Oh right, the chivalrous toad venom can only be obtained from the toad.”The female acolyte shouted.
"Got it. Thank you." Hu Xing said and walked outside.
"What an impatient person," the female acolyte laughed.”
The sky was already dark. Looking at the brightly lit hillside, Tiger Star thought,""These players really don't want to live anymore. They're actually using torches to level up.”Tiger Star carried his iron ring and walked towards the toad. He was already level six, so he didn't care about these level three monsters. When he saw a toad, he threw out two circles, and the toads immediately died with their brownish-yellow bellies flipped over, dropping a few copper coins and pieces of toad venom powder. Hu Xing began to kill them all. Two kills, one kill. There was no room for the toads to fight back. Soon, twenty sets of toad powder were collected. Looking at the corpses around him, Hu Xing smiled bitterly in his heart and walked into the village.
When the female acolyte looked at Tiger Star again, she was stunned."It can't be so fast, right?"
Tiger Star didn't say anything and directly handed 20 toad venom to the female acolyte. The female acolyte looked at him as if she was looking at a monster. "Young hero, you're really brave. You completed the mission so quickly. This is your reward, 10 small bottles of Little Red.”
"Thank you. Is there anything else I can help you with?”Hu Xing asked.
"I don't have any more here, but my neighbor Aunt Wang heard that she's running out of materials recently.”The female acolyte said with a flushed face.
Tiger Star nodded and walked towards a jewelry store next to the pharmacy. A middle-aged woman was sitting under the counter, doing something unknown. "Young hero, what do you need? There are all kinds of jewelry here." Although she looked a little old, her voice was still very sweet.
"Hello, Aunt Wang. I heard from the female apprentice next door that you need some materials. What can I do for you?”Hu Xing walked up and asked.
"I see! I'm researching a new batch of pig tooth rings, but I've run out of materials. I'm still one step away. Young hero, can you bring back ten pig teeth for me?”Aunt Wang asked anxiously.
"Of course. Aunt Wang, may I know how to obtain a wild boar tooth?”Hu Xing asked.
At this moment, a system notification appeared,[Will you learn the Gathering Technique that Auntie Wang taught you?]”
"Learn!"
[Congratulations, Tiger Star. You have learned the Gathering Technique. Beginner Gathering Technique.]”
"Thank you, Aunt Wang. I'll go and collect some wild boar teeth for you now.”After saying that, Hu Xing walked out again.
Tiger Star jogged all the way. After half an hour, he finally reached the wild boar territory. The two rings once again flew out of his hands towards a Shanz. The numbers-35,-30 flew out of Shanz's head. Before Shanz could regain his senses, the two rings had already returned to his hands. Once again, they flew out of his hands, bringing out the numbers-29,-34. Shanz immediately sank into a weakened state. Tiger Star leaped, and the two rings slammed into Shanz's head. Shanz let out a sorrowful cry and fell to the ground, dropping ten copper coins. Tiger Star used Harvest on Shanz, and the skin he collected was already broken. Finally, he heard a system notification." Congratulations on collecting the wild boar tooth."
Just as Hu Xing killed the sixth wild boar, a girl with a torch walked over and said,""Grandpa, can you bring me along?" When Hu Xing heard someone call him grandpa, his facial muscles trembled. His hand, which was collecting the wild boar teeth, paused for a moment. He pretended not to hear anything and continued collecting. His white hair hung down in front of his chest, blocking all the gazes around him.
"Grandpa, can you just bring me along?" That girl was really patient, circling around Tiger Star.
"You're still young, but I'm already old. Do you want an old man to help you level up?" Hu Xing stood up and mocked.”After saying that, he didn't even turn his head and continued to attack the eighth wild boar. When the girl heard the voice of her peers, she was dumbfounded on the spot. She walked over with an embarrassed expression and said,"Big brother, I'm sorry. When I saw your hair, I thought, you're actually really handsome. I've already called you big brother.”
"I don't have time." Hu Xing said coldly.
"You, you bully me." The girl squatted on the ground and cried.
"Stop, I don't buy it." Hu Xing said as he collected the wild boars he had just killed. As expected, the girl stopped crying and stood up."I met an expert." "I've helped you light the torch for so long, so please do me a favor, brother."”She saw that Hu Xing did not fire the fire pillar and immediately thought of a plan.
"That's your choice. You can leave now.”Hu Xing did not even turn his head.
Seeing that the soft approach did not work, the girl straightened her slender waist and said,"Let me tell you, if you don't bring me along today, my big brother will bring his brothers to beat you up tomorrow.”
Only then did Hu Xing straighten his body and walk towards the girl coldly. The girl saw Hu Xing's cold gaze and unconsciously retreated. She looked at Hu Xing in fear and said with a trembling voice,"You, what do you want to do?" "What do you think?" Hu Xing said coldly.
"Not good, someone is acting like a hooligan." The girl screamed and ran in the direction of the village.
Hu Xing shook his head speechlessly and began to hunt the last wild boar. Just as he watched the girl disappear, he felt a sudden pain in his calf. The 100% simulation made Tiger Star grit his teeth and frown. A-30 appeared above Tiger Star's head. Hu Xing hurriedly rolled to the side, dodging another attack. Hu Xing endured the pain and looked at the monster. He saw a wild boar with red fur that was bigger than the average wild boar. That guy seemed to be happy that he had succeeded in his attack, and its head kept shaking. His nose was still panting heavily as he glared at Hu Xing. When Tiger Star saw this, the pain seemed to have disappeared. His eyes kept flashing, and his mind kept flashing with the BOSS. It was actually a BOSS. The heavens were helping him. Shuang Huan quickly attacked. That guy actually knew how to imitate. Just like Tiger Star, he rolled to the side and dodged those two attacks. Tiger Star thought to himself that this monster was getting more and more interesting.
The Wild Boar Boss quickly got up and kicked towards Tiger Star like a gust of wind. Tiger Star struck out with the ring in his left hand, and at the same time, he also rushed towards Shanz. Shanz looked at the iron ring that was coming at him, and his body relaxed, jumping to the side. Just as he dodged the attack, a cold wind blew over his head. He wanted to dodge again, but it was already too late. Tiger Star Dance smashed down with his right hand, and the number-20 appeared on Shanz's head. Its attributes were also displayed: Boar Chieftain, Level 10, HP 250, Skill: Charge, prick.
Shanz was in pain, and he roared wildly as he charged towards Tiger Star. Tiger Star was afraid that he wouldn't come! He had already prepared his left hand and struck out again. This time, he actually succeeded easily. Shanz roared and suddenly accelerated. His long tusks were aimed at Hu Xing's calf. Tiger Star easily retracted his leg, and Shanz passed through his crotch. Shanz quickly " braked " and a cloud of dust rose from his stubby limbs. He quickly kicked his hind hooves, turned his head, and charged over again. Tiger Star struck out another ring and charged towards Shanz once again. Just as Shanz was about to reach him, Tiger Star flashed four feet away like a ghost. This was the move of the Bai family's lightness skill, Swimming Fish. Just now, Tiger Star had already seen that Shanz was very slow when he made a quick turn, so he gave way. Shanz had already rushed to his left side, and before he could make a turn in time, Tiger Star's double rings were shot out. The double rings were both-23,-20. The words flew out from Shanz's head. From this, it could be seen that Hu Xing's observation of internal strength was very vicious.
He didn't expect Shanz to calm down. He didn't attack rashly, but met Hu Xing's gaze. Hu Xing did not have the time to look at him. He twirled the two iron rings and pounced again. Under the black, the two iron rings sparkled with light. Shanz didn't dodge. He raised his fangs with all his might. Just as he was about to stab Hu Xing's wrist, Hu Xing raised his bowl. His entire arm was as soft as if it had no bones. He circled around and exerted force. Each step took away Shanz's life. The two rings smashed into Shanz's head again, and the words-25 and-23 floated out. Shanz was so unlucky that he started to feel dizzy. He stood on the spot and swayed, not knowing where he was.
Tiger Star Hand didn't faint. In the four seconds of stun, he smashed three times. A white light flashed by his ear and a " ding " sounded. He leveled up again.
[Congratulations, Tiger Star, for leveling up. You are the 30th player to kill the Wild Boar King. The system has specially rewarded you with 50 reputation points and 1 gold coin.]”
Tiger Star was still standing there foolishly, in the same attacking posture as before. It seemed like he hadn't had enough fun. Two golden lights flashed on the ground, and Tiger Star quickly looked at Shanz's body. Two gold coins were lying on the ground. Xiaohu happily picked up the two gold coins. There were also two pieces of equipment, a pair of shoes, and something that looked like a bag. Tiger Star started to collect the Boar King's corpse. A minute later, the system prompted,[Congratulations on obtaining the King Pig Tooth.]”[System Notification: Congratulations on obtaining the King Pig Skin. Your Gathering skill has been upgraded to Intermediate.]”After collecting for a long time, he stopped when he saw that there was nothing left. She stood up and stretched. It was too comfortable. With one attribute point and four points of strength in his movement technique, he instantly felt that his strength had increased by a lot. Just as he was about to return to the village, his legs went soft and he fell to the ground. Only then did he see that his vitality had reached 5 points. He could only sit on the ground and meditate helplessly. A minute later, his Vitality rose to 50. Tiger Star then ran towards the village.
"Young hero, you're back!”Aunt Wang stood at the door and smiled at Hu Xing. Hu Xing nodded and gave the ten wild boar teeth to Aunt Wang. When Aunt Wang received the ten wild boar teeth, she was stunned. Her hands trembled as she asked excitedly,"This is the tusk of the Wild Boar King. You actually killed the Wild Boar King!”
"Yes, I killed it." Hu Liang said.
"A true hero comes from a young man! Not bad, not bad. Child, you can go to the village chief to receive 100 reputation points and a chance to turn the wheel of fortune with the boar king's tooth.”Aunt Wang said as she gave the wild boar king's fangs to Hu Xing. "Then isn't your mission one less?" Tiger Star asked.”
"Mine is enough, enough. You are mainly helping our Xia Ji Village get rid of a scourge! Hehe, young hero, this is your reward, a pair of wild boar rings.”Aunt Wang laughed happily.
"Thank you." Tiger Star took the two rings and both of them were white grade equipment with attack 1--2, level requirement 1.
It was already late at night, but there was still an endless stream of players in the novice village. Tiger Star took the Pig King Fangs to the square and beat up the village chief.
"Hello, Village Chief. This is the Pig King Fangs you wanted.”Hu Xing said.
"Not bad! The once famous Pig King actually died in the hands of the young hero. Hehe, you are the hero of our Xia Ji Village.”The village chief took the pig king's tusks and smiled.
[Congratulations, Tiger Star. You have received 100 reputation points from the village chief.]”
"Young hero, you can also get the right to spin the wheel of fortune once. It depends on your luck.”The village chief narrowed his eyes and looked at Hu Xing.
At this moment, a wheel appeared in front of Tiger Star. Tiger Star shouted start, and the wheel spun rapidly. Tiger Star closed his glasses and shouted stop, and the wheel slowly stopped.
[Congratulations, Tiger Star, for obtaining the pet Misty Cloud bestowed by Lucky Star.]”
"Village Chief, what does Misty Cloud mean?”Hu Xing asked.
"Hehe, you actually got its ancient elf! It was heaven's will! Heaven's will! It can be said to be a pet, but it's not a pet. It's a type of flying mount. It doesn't have any attack ability, so the gods gave it eternal life. As for other uses, you'll have to slowly discover them in the future. However, I still want to congratulate you on obtaining a treasure.”The village chief praised enviously.
"Thank you, Village Chief." Tiger Star walked towards the appraisal shop. Because he realized that the equipment that he had dropped from killing Zhu Wang had to be appraised. When they arrived at the appraisal center, it was quite deserted. There was not a single player inside, which showed how rare the drop rate of equipment was. Before she entered, she heard an old man dozing off.
"Old man, old man." Hu Xing entered and shouted twice. Only then did the old man slowly wake up, but his expression showed that he was unhappy. Before Hu Xing could speak, he immediately said sternly,"There's no more mission. Let's go. Don't you know that disturbing an old man's sleep is a very immoral act?”
Tiger Star stepped forward helplessly." Grandpa, I'm not here for a mission. I'm here to appraise equipment."”
The old man's hazy eyes immediately lit up with excitement when he heard that he was going to appraise the equipment. "Ah! Erm, I'm sorry for what I did just now. I'm sorry, hehe. It's my fault for being blind. I wonder what good things you've brought? You're my first customer. I'll definitely give you a 50% discount.”The old man rubbed his hands excitedly.
Tiger Star was overwhelmed by his exaggerated actions. In the end, he braced himself and handed the equipment to the counter. "Young hero, you have an extraordinary life! The Pig King actually died in your hands, hehe.”As the old man spoke, he waved his hands and the equipment revealed its true appearance.
"This is a pair of pigskin boots, a piece of Good Grade equipment. Defense 7- 8, Movement 1, Level 10 required. This is a pigskin pouch with 100 slots.”the old appraiser said.
"I wonder how much it costs to appraise these two things?”Hu Xing asked cautiously.
"Not much, just five gold coins." The old appraiser said proudly.
"What?!" Tiger Star usually did not show his expression. At this moment, Tiger Star suspected that this old man could see through his bag. His bag was indeed only five gold coins. Seeing Tiger Star's surprised expression, the old man patted his head and said,""Oh right, didn't I tell you about the 50% discount just now? I almost forgot. Seeing that you've eliminated a disaster for Xia Ji Village, you should give me a round number of two gold coins.”the old man said generously.
Tiger Star felt a little better after hearing that. He handed over two gold coins and ran out quickly with the equipment, as if he was afraid that the old man would go back on his word. As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard the old man laugh proudly. One of them muttered to himself,"We have money for this month's drinks. Hehe, aren't you asking for too little?”Tiger Star gritted his teeth in anger.
