The large wound on the mud doll's body was rapidly healing. In less than five seconds, there were no signs of injury on the mud doll's body. If I hadn't clearly seen the '-100' slowly rising above its head, I would have doubted if I had hit it or not…Taking advantage of the fact that it didn't react, I went around to its back and gave it a few more slashes. However, the effect of these few slashes wasn't very obvious. I only took 30 to 40 HP from it. It let out a strange cry and a muddy hand suddenly popped out from its back and knocked me to the ground. The system immediately notified me that I had lost 60 HP. When I looked at the arm, its head actually rotated 10 degrees. This scene reminded me of the liquid robot in Terminator II.
However, the mud man didn't give me time to think about it. It cried out and smashed its huge fists down angrily. I had no choice but to roll on the ground to avoid its mud fists. Fortunately, the clay figurine's reaction was very slow. After it smashed its fists down for a long time, it didn't manage to grab it. Therefore, I gave it a few more big holes on its body. In the end, it deflated like a deflated ball!!
Out of habit, I didn't forget to collect a handful of it from its corpse. I obtained a piece of mud called White Mud. The system only wrote one word on its introduction... Material!!
After entering the hole, I didn't immediately find the mud men, which made me conclude that they didn't live in groups. However, if such a stupid monster lived in groups, it would be troublesome. They only needed to throw a mud ball each without aiming. In this small hole, there was nowhere to hide. The deeper the hole was, the more frequently I met mud men. Fortunately, they weren't as 'passionate' as the one at the entrance. I had to take the initiative to " greet " them before they were willing to pay attention to me. Along the way, I realized that there was nothing on the mud men other than white mud and medicine. However, the experience they gave me was also very impressive. Not long after entering the cave, I leveled up. I still distributed it to Strength, Constitution, and Agility according to the previous ratio of 3:3:4...
Along the way, he had been 'countless'(I don't mean to count!)!) After the battle with the mud man, I was even more convinced of my belief. However, there was one thing that I didn't understand. Didn't I already pass level 10? Why did the system give me 10 attribute points? Could it be that the system gave him the wrong information? Haha…
After entering the clay figurine cave, I could only rely on some glowing stones on the wall to move forward. It wasn't that I didn't have any ideas about them, but no matter what method I used, I couldn't get them down. In the end, I had to give up. The hole was very long and deep. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't find any forks along the way, I would have suspected that I was lost. Why couldn't he catch up? After an unknown amount of time, I arrived at a huge karst cave. The karst cave was so quiet that it looked as if there was nothing there.!) He immediately noticed something glowing in a corner not far away. He walked over and saw that it was a gold bracelet. He picked it up and used Appraisal on it.
[Item: Gold Bracelet…Quest Item!]!
"Haha ~~~ It really won't be useless…Oh ~~~ No! "It's a waste of effort…" I laughed excitedly. After walking a few steps, I found another woman's headdress and used Appraisal on it…
[Item: Silver Hairpin…Quest Item!]
"Another quest item? " I don't care, I'll keep it first…" After putting away the silver hairpin, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the karst cave. I turned around and saw a huge mud ball rolling towards me. The mud ball was three meters wide. What could I do? Rush up and stop it? I'm not Superman…so I turned around and ran out of instinct.
This thing was really strange. I walked straight and it walked straight. I turned and it turned. In short, the vengeful souls would follow me without dispersing…I had no choice but to leave this damn place as soon as possible, so I plunged into the hole I came from. It was another chase. I didn't know how fast I was at this time. I only knew that the surrounding cave walls were moving quickly behind me. I couldn't hear anything except the whistling of the wind…In reality, my legs spasmed again. Countless tiny electric currents passed through my helmet to my head, then through my body to my legs. Every muscle on my legs became unusually hard, and they kept twitching because of spasms.
Finally, finally…I finally saw the exit. Although it was just a game, it made me feel exhausted. The desire to survive made me explode with unprecedented strength. At that moment, there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to charge out!!
With a swoosh, I almost flew out of the cave and escaped from the sky…The joy in my heart was indescribable. Naturally, I didn't hear the system notification at this time, nor did I see the 20-centimeter stone protruding from the cave entrance…In the end, my feet tripped, and the extreme joy turned into sadness. Not only did I fly six to seven meters away, I even rolled a few meters on the ground, rolling into the bushes. The huge mud ball also rolled out of the cave, but this time he didn't chase after me. An ugly face suddenly appeared on the mud ball, and then a pair of huge arms stretched out. Its body was no longer ball-shaped, but it had become a 'hill-shaped' clay figurine. However, it was at least two to three times taller than the clay figurine I had encountered. It opened its mouth and shouted loudly…
I watched this scene from the bushes with a pale face." Oh my…I've provoked the BOSS. But it seems like it can't leave this cave too far away, or else I'll die here…" I was afraid, but my hands didn't stop. I kept using Appraisal on it, but its level was too high. I didn't succeed even when it returned to the cave…Although I was a little disappointed, I was still happy that I had obtained the quest item.
I opened my stats to check the time and realized that I had actually used more than a day's time. Moreover, I realized that I had added a new skill to my original skill-'Slide'!!
'Slidestep'-self-created skill. [Level: Advanced] [Effect: Able to glide in a straight line 10 centimeters above the ground for one second. Agility increases by 60% during this period. MP consumption: 10.] [Skill interval: 1 minute]
"Why is there such a thing?”I opened up my 'History' and saw that there was a paragraph that said... System Notification: Player Liu Wuqing has unleashed his potential energy to create the skill 'Slide'. [Effect: Able to glide 10 centimeters above the ground for 1 second.] [Skill interval: 1 minute] [Beginner: Agility increases by 20%, MP consumption: 1] [Intermediate: Agility increases by 40% during the duration. Consumes 5 MP] [Advanced: Agility increases by 60% during the duration, MP consumption: 10] [Master Level: Agility increases by 80%, MP consumption: 20] [Grandmaster Level: Agility increases by 100%, MP consumption: 40] [Immortal Level: Agility increases by 150%, MP consumption: 80] [Divine Tier: Agility increased by 200%, MP cost: 160] Because you are one of the top ten players who created a skill, the system has rewarded you with an advanced level.
"Hehe ~~~ This works too. It seems that it's good to have a high comprehension ability ~~~~'Slide'!!”Enduring the pain in my body, I couldn't wait to try out this new skill. I saw that my feet slid more than 10 meters away from the ground like ice skates before falling. Moreover, its sliding speed was much faster than my running speed. If I were to face an enemy, this would definitely give the enemy an unexpected blow.
" Slidestep!!" In my excitement, I used it again, but before I could use it, I received a system notification…
[System Notification: Ding!] MP insufficient, unable to use.
" Hehe…I was so excited that I forgot about this. Looks like I'll have to allocate some attribute points to my Intelligence in the future…" It turned out that my Intelligence had never been added, and it had always been maintained at one point.
It was already dark when I returned to the village. Fortunately, the village NPCs didn't need to rest. Otherwise, I really didn't know where to find the fat chef to hand in the quest.
"Oh, you really got it? " Hehe…Little Mei, Little Mei…You have to agree to my proposal this time, hehe…" The fat chef's intoxicated look gave me goosebumps. When I thought of the tailor aunt's bloated figure and heavily dressed face, I felt even more disgusted.
"Cough cough…Master Fatty, did you forget something?”I couldn't help but interrupt his intoxicated face and remind him.
"Ah…Why are you still here?”Fat Chef looked at me in surprise.
I was speechless."You haven't given me any candy yet? Can I leave? I didn't expect NPCs to know how to 'cross the river and break the bridge'!"
" Take it, take it... This is Little Huzi's favorite candy..." He handed me a small paper bag and waved his hand as if he was trying to fly. After taking the paper bag, I suddenly remembered about cooking, so I asked,"By the way, I want to know if 'Cooking' can only be used with pots and pans.”
"Of course, is there a need to ask? Even the simplest barbeque should have a fire, right? Don't tell me you think Cooking can cook raw meat?”The fat chef looked at me with an expression that said,'You're very stupid.'
"But where can I get fire?”
"Why are you so stupid? Isn't there a torch in the pharmacy?"
"That works too!" I cried out. Actually, it wasn't that I hadn't thought of the torches in the pharmacy. I had heard from other players that the torches would light up on their own when they were taken out of the bracelet, and would automatically extinguish after they were taken back. A torch could last for a few hours ~~~~ I've gotten off topic. However, the problem wasn't here, but its fire. The fire of a torch couldn't light up anything else. It couldn't burn people, nor could it burn people. It could only be used for illumination. That was why I had always thought that torches had no other use other than illumination. He really didn't expect it to have such a use.
"Then do you know what this is used for?”I took out the silver hairpin and asked.
"Eh? "This thing looks familiar. It seems to be Old Liu's thing. You should go and ask ~" The fat chef frowned and thought for a moment. Then, I went to Old Liu in the warehouse. Before I could ask him, he snatched the silver hairpin from my hand and started crying sadly…
"Is there a need to cry so sadly? It was as if his wife had died…" I muttered in my heart, and the result really made me guess it. This silver hairpin was really the relic of his deceased wife. His wife had died in that mud cave decades ago. After he finished his story, he immediately changed his previous sad and serious tone and said," Thank you for helping me find my deceased wife's belongings. As thanks, I will expand the storage bracelet's capacity by 80 slots…"
Surprise! This is too unexpected…I didn't think that I would accidentally complete the mission. The mission to expand the storage bracelet's space is really good luck.
After the bracelet on my left hand lit up, I heard a system notification…
[System Notification: Ding!] Player Liu Wuqing has completed the Advanced Bracelet Quest: Dead Wife's Legacy. Bracelet space increased by 80 slots. After receiving this unexpected surprise, I arrived at the village entrance with my entire body floating in the air. That little brat was still poking the ant hole at this late hour. It was really too illogical. Perhaps this was also a huge failure of the game ~~~ NPCs could never be like humans.
"Hey, I brought you candy. Can you tell me now?”After giving the candy to Little Huzi, he started to eat. He finished the candy in a few bites and said," The shoe was taken away by Medicine Master's Big Yellow…" After saying that, he started poking his ant hole again.
After hearing Little Huzi's words, I felt like crying. I also felt like I was being played. I thought it was simple, but who would have thought that there would be more to it. I didn't even need to guess that this 'Big Yellow' was Medicine Master's big yellow dog. Otherwise, who would use the word 'bit'? I had no choice but to walk towards the pharmacy. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, I heard bursts of crying coming from the pharmacy...
"Wuuu ~ Big Yellow, Big Yellow…Big Yellow ~ I've raised you since you were young, but I never gave you a day's worth of food. I treat you like my own son. I didn't expect you to die today ~" I stood rooted to the ground, wondering why this conversation sounded so familiar.
"What's going on this time?" I muttered as I walked into the pharmacy. I saw the young pharmacist sitting on the ground, hugging the bloodstained Rhubarb and crying.
"Medicine Master, what happened to Big Yellow?" I asked.
"Big Yellow was bitten by a wild wolf in the forest. I'm afraid it won't be able to survive this round, sob, sob, sob ~" Medicine Master cried.
"Ah! What about the shoes? Apothecary, have you ever seen Rhubarb bring back a shoe?”
" No, Rhubarb is the only one who knows where the thing it has been holding is. Rhubarb will be happy to help you find it, but now..." Medicine Master hesitated.
"It's here, it's here…another mission.”I begged in my heart, but my mouth said,"Is there anything I can help you with?”
"Can you go to the forest and pick some 'Blood Stopping Grass' for me? "You see, I really can't leave…" Medicine Master said with a troubled expression.
"Alright then, how many stalks of Blood Stopping Grass do you want?”
" 100…" Medicine Master said very casually.
"..." My face twitched, but I didn't say anything."100? Are you treating a dog or a cow? Why did you use so much of it?"
" Alright then…" I have to lower my head when I'm under the eaves…I had no choice but to buy a few torches and go up the mountain to pick herbs. The hateful thing was that he didn't give me a discount even when I helped him. He even had a look of 'whether I want it or not' on his face.
I don't know why the normally easy to find blood stopping grass seemed to be avoiding me today. It wasn't until noon the next day that I managed to find all 100 blood stopping grass. After handing the medicine to Medicine Master, the bloodstains on Rhubarb's body immediately disappeared. The originally " dead dog " immediately became energetic and ran out wagging its tail…I immediately followed it. Fortunately, my high Dexterity allowed me to easily catch up to it. However, being able to catch up to it didn't give me any sense of accomplishment. After all," running faster than a dog " really didn't sound good.
I followed Rhubarb around the forest for another afternoon. Rhubarb used its nose to search for familiar scents, but I still couldn't find them. However, it attracted quite a number of wild boars and other wild beasts, which allowed me to level up by more than one level…As time passed, I finally understood why the system gave me six days to complete it. If I continued to drag it out like this, it would be useless to give me another month.
Suddenly, Rhubarb rushed forward excitedly. I didn't dare to delay and quickly followed. After passing through the dense forest, we arrived in front of a small valley. It wasn't that I hadn't been to this valley before, but I had been wandering at the entrance of the valley and didn't dare to enter. The players gave this small valley a name, Wolf Valley. Hence, the name Siyi was the Valley of Wolves…
There was only one type of monster in the valley, and that was the wolf. The wolf's level was not higher than the mud man, only level 13. However, their social characteristics were the reason why the players stopped.
Naturally, I didn't dare to make such a loud noise when I arrived at the Wolf Valley. Some players had once said that wolves were the scariest at night. It was said that their attributes would increase by 10% on the night of the full moon. I didn't know if it was true or not, but I would rather believe it than not believe it. Anyway, I wouldn't use myself as an experiment. However, I forgot that there was still Rhubarb who was not afraid of death beside me…
Woof, woof, woof…It barked at the valley. I didn't have time to stop it, and its small eyes lit up like light bulbs in the darkness of the valley. I suddenly remembered Medicine Master's words. He said that Rhubarb was seriously injured by the wolves, so it was very likely that the shoes were taken away by the wolves. Therefore, it was not wrong for Rhubarb to lead me to the Wolf Valley, but how was I supposed to face the wolves? Even a good man can't stand the number of wolves ~~~~
At this moment, a black shadow nimbly jumped onto a huge rock and shouted towards the sky,"Woo ~~~ Woo ~~~" Suddenly, the pack of wolves swarmed out. Rhubarb had already completed its task of leading the way. Seeing that the pack of wolves was getting stronger, it tucked its tall tail back…and ran away.
I didn't pay any attention to this disloyal fellow who took out his Wood Emperor Saber and prepared to fight to the death with the wolf pack. However, I knew my own limits. In this battle, I would most likely die. However, a strange thing happened…the wolf pack actually brushed past me and chased after Big Yellow. This scene made me freeze on the spot. For a moment, I felt a little helpless.
It turned out that due to the system's design for monsters, they would recognize the charm of their opponents and then attack those with high charm. However, as an NPC, Rhubarb could not be attacked. It was just that during the process of the mission, the system had to default it to be in a 'team' with me. This way, it could use its charm to attract some monsters to cause me some trouble when it was looking for wolves. If it attracted a monster, it would probably not be as simple as 'a little' trouble. It was just lucky that it met me, who had extremely low charm. I even had to thank it for giving me a level of experience.
Then, it was the scene in front of the valley. Rhubarb ran away. Actually, as long as my Charm was high enough, Rhubarb would stay and fight alongside me. However, my Charm was too low, so it was inevitable for it to run away…After it ran away, according to the system's plan, I would face the wolves alone.)……That was why this strange scene had happened.
After the wolf pack left, I came back to my senses. I thought that this was specially arranged by the system. Otherwise, how could a level 12 player like me defeat a large group of level 13 monsters? After watching the wolves run away, I swaggered into the wolf valley. The wolf valley was filled with a stench. With the help of the torch, I saw the wolf den in a mess. There were all kinds of animal bones everywhere, and of course, there were people…I didn't have to praise the system's design for such a scene. It was so realistic.
Finally, I came to the end of the wolf valley and saw a different grass nest. It was different because there were no bones on the side, and it was very clean and big, about two meters wide. The moment I saw the wolf nest, my heart beat rapidly. I was excited and afraid. I was excited because I found an embroidered shoe in the wolf nest. I was afraid because the owner of the nest didn't leave with the team.
A huge wolf, a huge wolf the size of a calf, had already discovered me. However, its eyes were filled with contempt, and then it closed its eyes as if I didn't exist. This time, I didn't dare to express my dissatisfaction because I could feel how powerful it was. It was just like the mud man's BOSS, just as powerful…just as terrifying. In front of it, I'm indeed not good enough, but I'm determined to get the shoes. I gently leaned towards it. Its ears twitched and it raised its head to look at me warily. Perhaps it saw that it was me, then it lowered its head again. Seeing the opportunity, the bracelet took out the Wood King Saber and slid it towards the wolf. Facing the sudden danger, it reacted instinctively and jumped away from its nest.
Attacking it wasn't my intention. I wanted to force it away, and I did it. I picked up the embroidered shoes on the ground and stuffed them into my bracelet. Then, I turned around and ran without looking back…However, the four-legged wolf still caught up to me. It pushed me to the ground and instantly lost 300 HP. Then, it bit my neck…I instantly lost consciousness and appeared in the tunnel. I knew that I was dead again…
Through the tunnel, I appeared in the magic array of the Novice Village. I opened my stats and found that I had lost more than one level. However, when I checked my bracelet, I was pleasantly surprised to find that nothing had been lost. It was really a blessing in disguise. I came in front of the old village chief and said,"Old village chief, do you think these are the shoes you wanted?”
"Ah, it's it, that's great…This way, I won't have to kneel on the washboard by my wife anymore. You've helped me so much. How should I thank you?”The old village chief pondered.
"Stop pretending." Commoner Suit? Hurry up and bring it over ~~~~ I can't wait any longer.”I shouted anxiously in my heart.
"Oh right, wait a minute ~" The old village chief looked around and then sneaked to the side…I was puzzled when I saw his actions."Is there a need to be so mysterious? Next, you're going to talk about things left behind by your ancestors or unknown travelers. I can even recite such a lousy plot…"
However, things are always unpredictable. The village chief ran to the door of a house like a thief and tore off the clothes that were hanging outside. His actions completely dumbfounded me.
" Here, this is for you. Take it as a thank you gift from me," the village chief said after he stuffed the 'stolen goods' into my hands.
"This…this…didn't you say it was a commoner suit?”Looking at the clothes in my hands that were similar to mine, I asked.
" That's right! That's right! This is the 'Commoner Suit'!"
"But…is it a very ordinary novice outfit? Why can't I see anything special about him?”He looked at the three pieces of equipment in his hands (novice clothes, novice cloth shoes, and wooden wrist guards).) He asked with a bitter smile.
"Young man, don't just focus on your appearance. "Sometimes, appearances are just a tool to confuse others..." The old village chief said very seriously.
"But why are there only protective gear? What about weapons?" After reluctantly accepting the old village chief's explanation, I discovered another problem.
"Weapons? Why would he need a weapon? You're a 'full-time commoner' and not a warrior. How can you participate in those barbarian things?”Before the village chief could finish speaking, the voice of an 'old woman' came from the house where he had 'stolen' the sheep..." Oh my god! Who's the one who 'stole' my clothes?"
" Oh no, I've found him…Let's go!" He dragged me into the magic array. Before I could figure out what was going on, a white light flashed in front of my eyes and I was teleported away.
When I could see again, I was already in a huge magic array. There were many people around me who were resurrecting or teleporting. The biggest difference between them and me was that they were no longer wearing the old-fashioned novice clothes, but all kinds of armor and mage's light armor…I was the eye-catching anomaly when I suddenly appeared in the magic array. Who asked me to wear the novice clothes given by the system after I reached level 10? I quickened my pace under the watchful eyes of others, but someone called out to me as soon as I walked out of the magic array…
"Hey, brother, is this your first time entering the city? Buy a map ~~~ With a map, I guarantee you won't get lost in Wuyang City.”A Mage player took out a scroll and tried to sell it to me.
"How much?" I asked. When I first arrived, I realized that having a map would be much more convenient…
"One silver coin."
" It's not expensive, I'll buy it…" One silver coin was indeed a small amount to me.
" Wait... friend, don't buy it... the monsters outside the city can drop this map. Don't waste that money..." a kind-hearted Archer reminded.
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, okay? One look at this brother and you could tell that his luck was extremely low. Otherwise, why was he still wearing a beginner's outfit?”Seeing that his scam had been exposed, the mage's face was a little hot, but he was not convinced. "How long are you going to let them fight on their own?”
"Humph! Look, you don't know anything! It's already spread on the forums. Brother, you must be the legendary 'full-time commoner,' right? It's not that my luck is too low, resulting in a low drop rate. It's just that I can't wear it at all ~~~ I think you're really ignorant!!”The Archer player sneered.
"Low luck leads to a low drop rate? This is the first time I've heard something like this. My Luck is already 10, and with the system's bonus…hehe…no wonder every monster would give me something after they die…" I was secretly pleased with myself.
"..." The Mage player saw that there was no hope for business, so he turned around to leave. He didn't expect me to stop him..." Wait... I'll buy it."”
"You're buying? But…" The mage was surprised.
"Your price isn't high, and it's not easy for you. There are fewer and fewer novice players nowadays.”
" Thank you…" The mage gave me a grateful smile before making a deal with me.
"I didn't expect you to be such a kind person, but friend…I advise you to delete this and retrain ~" The Archer player advised me.
"Why?" I asked in confusion. I'm quite satisfied with my current account. After leveling up, I'll have 4 more attribute points than others. I can't even bear to give up this immortal-level Gathering skill...
"Why? Don't you know? As the game developed, players became more and more reliant on equipment. Poor equipment meant that your strength was inferior to others. It was true that after Level 10, a 'full-time commoner' would get 4 more free attribute points than others every time they leveled up. However, it could not compare to the speed of leveling up equipment. Moreover, leveling up after Level 20 became more and more difficult. In the end, you might not even be able to level up even after a month of crazy training. When that time came, the 'full-time commoner' profession would only become 'trash'…this was something that even the' Earthlings 'knew.”What he meant was that he was from another planet.
"But isn't a 'full-time commoner' able to learn all life skills? "This is very 'money'…" I retorted unwillingly.
"Crafting skills are more precious than quantity. It's very hard to train a crafting skill. It's already not easy to train one skill well, let alone train several at the same time…If you only need to train one, what class can't you train?”
"But isn't there equipment that doesn't require a class?”
"That's true, but you have to win first…Aiya, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. My friend is still waiting for me ~~~~ But I still advise you to change your class. Many people on the forum have already given up…" He left after saying that. I stayed where I was silently. I knew that I would not give up on this account. Although my heart wavered a little after hearing his words, I firmly believed that I was different from other players. My starting point was much higher than theirs. From the very beginning, I had the immortal level Gathering skill. Then, all the life skills I learned were intermediate, which made me a head higher than those in the same profession. I believe that there are many people who are still rolling around in the beginner level. In the future, as long as I continue to focus on the two life skills of blacksmith and pharmacist, I am confident that I can run ahead of those people.
