Chapter 69: Mengxin Baotuan Ji (For follow-up reading!)
Emerald Town.
Under the scorching sun.
The ruins on the west side have been cleared, and a group of people are working hard on construction at this time.
The recruited men, covered in dust and shouting, worked together to carry the stones while the women cooked a large pot of vegetable and mushroom soup.
Polaris wiped the sweat from his forehead and found that the back of his hand was covered with black dirt.
He sighed secretly.
"It's not good to go on like this. I'm just treated as a low-level worker doing simple and repetitive physical work..."
Su Keying came over and handed him a bowl of vegetable soup.
Polaris thanked him and took a sip of soup to feel a little refreshed.
The two of them finished their tasks on the farm in the countryside, earned dozens of copper coins, and rushed to Emerald Town without stopping. As the farmer said, the Red Apple Church was indeed rebuilding the church, so the two of them took advantage of the opportunity and signed up.
participated.
But unlike what they expected, they couldn't see the monks in charge at all. Usually there were only two church guards here to direct them.
As a result, the plan to gain extraordinary knowledge by joining the church was shattered.
"It's really not that simple."
Polaris finished the soup without leaving any drop, returned the bowl to Su Keying, and sighed.
"It's not like there's no gain at all... You unlocked the [Worker] sub-profession, and I also unlocked the [Cook] sub-profession."
Su Keying said comfortingly.
"For those who are still on the farm, the career entry on the panel is probably still blank."
Polaris couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the other players.
Before leaving, they saw a player finally couldn't bear it and attacked the NPC on the farm. They didn't know for what purpose.
Maybe he wanted to kill the farmer to get the resources and property on the farm, or maybe he just wanted to test the game mechanics... or even treat the NPC as a wild monster to gain experience and upgrade.
However, every player who took action was stabbed to death by the farmer with a pitchfork.
Although he was just an ordinary NPC in the "Novice Village", it was still very easy to torture them, a group of newcomers who had just entered the game. What was even more ridiculous was that after those guys were resurrected, they were hunted down again by the farmer's dog.
Even the dog was still squatting at the "resurrection point" outside the farm.
The three resurrection opportunities per day were used up, and those players gave it to them for nothing today.
The precious closed beta time has been wasted. If they continue to commit suicide after going online tomorrow and use up the ten resurrection opportunities every week, then it can basically be declared that this closed beta will be empty-handed.
"Do you know how this church was destroyed? Polaris."
Su Keying said suddenly.
Polaris came back to his senses and was slightly startled.
"Isn't it because of an accidental fire...?"
That's what he heard the workers say when he came, but he soon realized that it was definitely not what Su Keying asked.
"What did you find out again?"
Polaris suddenly felt that it would not be a bad thing to act together with this woman.
Su Keying really knew something and smiled.
"I just learned from an aunt that a month ago, the Red Apple Church was attacked. All the clergy and guards here were killed, and the church was burned down by that person."
Polaris was surprised after hearing this.
As a veteran player in the online game industry, he always prepares in advance before launching a new game.
Although the information released by "Secret Age" before the official launch of the server was limited, he also captured some through various channels. Among them, he not only knew that there were seven righteous god factions in the entire Sun Continent, but also knew that each of them represents a transcendent sequence.
Path is a great force with extraordinary power.
Someone dares to attack the church with such cruelty. He must be a very cruel person!
"Hey, you two, sorry to bother you."
A man's voice came, and Polaris and Su Keying looked in search of the sound.
I saw three men approaching. They were wearing the same linen robes and had game IDs on their heads. They were obviously three players.
"I am a cadre of the 'Yingling Pavilion' guild, Ma Ren... These two are both members of the 'God's Love' guild, Dog-headed Gold and Forgotten Wuji."
The leading "horse man" man stretched out his hand and smiled.
"If you are interested in cooperation, we can exchange information first."
Polar Star and Su Keying exchanged glances and nodded.
He shook hands with the centaur and asked:
"What kind of cooperation method?"
"Let's talk about it somewhere else. It's too hot here."
The centaur pointed helplessly at the sun in the sky and stretched his soaked chest.
"OK."
Polaris responded briefly.
He turned around and applied to the church warden to resign, but he only received one-tenth of his wages, a few copper coins, and was scolded.
But he doesn't care.
The group of people found a shady place to rest. The horseman sat on the ground and spoke first:
"There are only a few people in the internal beta test. The two of you can come here ahead of the big troops. You must be knowledgeable people and know the importance of first-mover advantage... If we cooperate, the harvest will definitely be greater than fighting alone."
Others nodded, indicating their agreement with his statement.
The centaur continued:
"To express my sincerity, let me first tell you the internal information of our guild... A remote town like this usually has an official supernatural organization, a shelter, and one or two other sects.
Although they are the most direct channel to obtain extraordinary knowledge, they are very difficult."
Polaris hummed and mentioned the useless work he and Su Keying did at the Red Apple Church today.
"You can't do this..."
The centaur shook his head.
"The three of us never planned to go to them from the beginning. It is too difficult and the cycle is too long. Moreover, there are opportunities in every town in the empire. There is no need to fight here..."
The two men, Goutou Jin and Wang Wangwuji, also chuckled.
"We took on a mission to hunt wild wolves on that farm. Fortunately, we also unlocked the combat sub-professional [Wolf Hunter]..."
Su Keying pouted, these two guys are really annoying, I don't know what they are showing off here.
She immediately shared some of the information she knew.
The centaur's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Is the person you are talking about still in Emerald Town? He must be an extraordinary person if he can kill a church branch single-handedly... If we can start from him, the chance of obtaining extraordinary knowledge will be much greater."
"She should have left. I saw the wanted notice posted by the Red Apple Church..."
Su Keying took out a piece of paper she collected.
It depicts a young man with black curly hair, an unknown face, and his name is Jack. At the back, it is marked that he is a suspected member of the History and Ceremony Society, with a bounty of 100 gold pounds.
Chen Lun would be surprised if he saw this wanted notice.
Because the Red Apple Church actually used the extraordinary power of divination, knowing his alias must have cost a lot of money.
This shows how deeply the Red Apple Church hates him.
"Pity……"
Hearing that this ruthless man was not in town, the horseman shook his head regretfully.
He immediately said:
"We must make the most of the precious time in the closed beta and not do useless work here. It is best to explore the surrounding map and find a big city first, so that we can widen the gap with others during the official open beta..."
"But we have no money, and traveling long distances is expensive."
Polaris frowned.
The centaur smiled, this is the shortcoming of the Lone Ranger, the lack of important information.
"Usually there is a train station near a small town. We can take that train to the nearest city. The price is not expensive. A few dozen copper coins are enough."
"Let's think about it."
Polaris said.
The centaur nodded, and Polaris and Su Keying walked aside and whispered a few words.
After a while, the two came back again.
"Okay, we agree to this plan, what do we need to do?"
"very good……"
The centaur nodded with satisfaction.
"It's a long way from here to the train station. We don't have enough money to hire a carriage and a guard, so we have to walk... There are probably robbers and thieves and other wild monsters on the road who are higher level than us and are very dangerous.
So we not only have to collect enough fare in the shortest possible time, but we also need to find a way to get a set of equipment to protect ourselves on the road."
Polar Star and Su Keying nodded.
