After receiving the mission, Su Ming was not in a hurry to go to the snake cave. He walked around the village first and asked various NPCs if they had any missions about the snake cave. In the end, he actually received a mission from the restaurant cook.
The new dish "Cold Snake Soup" developed by the chef is extremely popular, and raw materials are urgently needed. This is a recurring task that gives money. Each piece of snake meat can be exchanged for 1 copper coin.
After accepting the Snake Soup mission, Su Ming went to the prop shop to replenish torches and prepare for a long-term battle in the snake cave.
The mountain behind the village, coordinates 4103, 2415, 16.
Pushing aside the waist-high weeds, a dark hole appeared in front of Su Ming, with damp moisture and the strange smell of earth coming from it.
"Master, do we really want to fight monsters here?" Xiao Hei asked.
"Yes, and it will take a long time." Su Ming walked into the snake cave and lit the torch. There were some ordinary snakes under his feet that were not monsters and would not actively attack him.
When they were illuminated by the fire, they twisted their bodies and burrowed deeper into the snake cave.
It's densely packed and scary. Few people would come to this kind of place to practice leveling.
"Xiao Hei, please pay attention to your surroundings later and see if there are any plants with silver leaves." Su Ming said.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
The two of them walked some way into the snake cave.
"Master, is this moonlight grass?" Xiao Hei jumped to a 40-centimeter plant growing in moist soil and asked.
Su Ming walked over and put his hand on the plant. The collection information appeared. It was indeed Moonlight Grass.
"Xiao Hei is awesome." Su Ming rubbed Xiao Hei's head and started collecting.
At this time, a level 4 poisonous snake sprang out from the darkness, interrupting Su Ming's collection. It landed on Su Ming's neck, biting off about 10% of Su Ming's blood volume, and put Su Ming into a poisoned state, slowing down his movement speed.
Slowly, the blood volume also decreases over time.
The poisonous snake slid around Su Ming's neck, making it feel wet and extremely disgusting.
Su Ming almost forgot that this was in a game, and instinctively reached out to catch the poisonous snake, trying to shake it off.
As soon as his hand caught the poisonous snake, the poisonous snake straightened up, opened its mouth wide and went straight to Su Ming's nose.
At the critical moment, Xiao Hei suddenly appeared, wrapped its soft body around the poisonous snake, and took the poisonous snake away from Su Ming's hands.
The poisonous snake was suppressed by Xiao Hei, and its fangs and entanglements were restrained by Slime's body that could change at will. The damage caused was very limited, and Xiao Hei quickly killed him.
"These snakes can't defeat me at all. Master, you can safely collect the medicine and leave all the poisonous snakes to me." Xiao Hei said very reliably.
"Too strong." Su Ming gave Xiao Hei a thumbs up.
The poisonous snake burst out a copper coin and a portion of snake meat.
Su Ming put it in his backpack, collected the moonlight grass, and continued to look for moonlight grass in the snake cave.
The wetter the place, the denser the moongrass grows.
There are also many venomous snakes hidden near the Moonlight Grass, ranging in level from 4 to 7.
It's okay if the level is low, but at a high level, even if Xiao Hei is very capable of restraining snake monsters, he still won't be able to do what he wants. After all, this is a game, and attributes are the decisive factor in strength.
The snake cave is very deep. The further you go inside, the higher the probability that high-level poisonous snakes will appear.
Therefore, Su Ming did not go too deep into the snake cave, but went back and forth looking for moonlight grass about a hundred meters outside.
Su Ming also gradually mastered some skills in fighting snakes. For example, when fighting a snake, it is easier to hit its weak point with a sneak attack from its tail, which is usually called the seven inches.
Hitting a weak point will almost certainly result in a critical hit.
However, the snake's body is slender, and Su Ming's ball's aim is not very accurate. The main force in fighting monsters is Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei didn't care about his weakness at all. He rushed over and let the snakes entangle him. When there were enough snakes on his body, he would disperse them with a slime burst. Repeating this a few times would harvest a large amount of experience.
The position where the moonlight grass refreshes is basically fixed. Su Ming kept these refresh times in his mind and planned the route. After a few hours, he was able to refresh the moonlight grass, which was just where he was.
Memory is Su Ming's strong point, which can be described as photographic memory. When he was studying in school, he did particularly well in subjects such as history and politics that required memorization.
In the gap when the Moonlight Grass was refreshed, Su Ming asked Xiao Hei to resist a snake, and then practiced the accuracy of the magic ball attack.
Poor poisonous snake, it's not a happy death.
The player's initial backpack only has ten slots, and the upper limit of items accumulated in each slot is 100.
Su Ming stayed in the snake cave for a day and a night, and his level reached level six. His backpack was full of snake meat and moongrass, and he could no longer hold anything else.
"There are no more torches, Xiaohei, let's retreat."
"Good master." Xiao Hei KOed a level 6 poisonous snake, jumped to Su Ming, and left the snake cave with him.
The sun shone down and Su Ming squinted his eyes.
The Snake Cave is full of wet mud, so he and Xiao Hei are particularly dirty now. Fortunately, he is a player, and as long as he is out of combat for more than an hour, the stains on his body will be automatically removed.
Xiao Hei is even more convenient. Su Ming puts it into the pet space and puts it out, and it becomes clean.
When players meet NPCs, their appearance will also affect their favorability, so Su Ming deliberately stayed in the wild for an hour before returning to the village.

First, I went to the restaurant and disposed of the 7 full slots of snake meat in my backpack.
A round of tasks requires 20 servings of snake meat. After Su Ming handed in 20 rounds, he reached the upper limit.
"That's enough, that's enough. Where did you get so much snake meat? There are only two portions of snake meat left for one copper coin. Whatever you have left, bring it." The chef said.
Su Ming handed over all the remaining 300 portions of snake meat and received 150 copper coins. In addition to the income from the task, Su Ming earned 550 copper coins, which is 5.5 gold, through this task.
When Su Ming left the restaurant, he already had 20 gold in his backpack. As long as he left Novice Village, he could go to the exchange to exchange for RMB, which could be exchanged for 200 yuan.

Su Ming went to the pharmacy again and handed the moonlight grass to Pitson, but he was interrupted after only one hand.
There is a follow-up to this task, which needs to be completed before the next cycle can proceed.
"It's very well done. Please wait a moment." Pison walked out of the store and shouted: "Nadi, come back and check the store! I'm taking the spores to make a primary magic potion."
After Nadi reluctantly returned to the pharmacy, Paison took Su Ming to the room where the potion was made.
This place is very much like a chemical laboratory - beakers, rubber droppers, distillation bottles, crucibles, alcohol lamps, measuring cylinders...
In addition to these instruments, there are also various materials, plant-based and mineral-based, which are very abundant.
"You can use these equipment as you like. The 'potion neutralizing reagent' and 'magic crystal' are all provided by me for free. You can first make all the moonlight grass you collected into primary magic potions here. Because I provide all the auxiliary materials,
So I purchased the potion you made at the cost of 1 silver per bottle.
Patson patted Su Ming on the shoulder and said:
"I don't want Nadi to look after the store, so I left first. Work hard. When you have a success rate of more than 80% in making the magic potion, you can take off the title of apprentice."
After Paison left, Su Ming took out the Moonlight Grass. He was a player, so naturally he couldn't actually use instruments and prepare materials like an NPC.
He only needs to open the skill, put the materials into the system bar, and wait for the progress bar to be full, and the materials will automatically turn into potions.
However, these equipment are not completely useless. The laboratory composed of them can improve the success rate of pharmacists.
For example, the laboratory where Su Ming is currently working.
Paison's Potion Refining Workshop: When refining primary potions in this workshop, the success rate is increased by 20%.
