Early the next morning, Zeng Jun woke up and the sun was shining brightly. He looked at the time and slept until ten o'clock in the morning.
Even if I play games in the morning, it won’t be long until lunch time, so Zeng Jun decided not to play games this morning. I just used this time to make a good lunch. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven’t eaten well for more than a week.
It's time to have a meal.
Zeng Jun quickly washed up and then walked for half an hour to the nearest vegetable market to buy some vegetables and meat, and also bought a few kilograms of fruit to take back.
He was busy until 11:30 and finally cooked a few side dishes. Looking at the three delicious side dishes on the table, Zeng Jun felt proud. He hadn't shown off his cooking skills for a long time and didn't expect that his cooking skills were still so good. It was such a rich meal.
There should be wine for lunch, but considering that after playing games in the afternoon, if you need to go offline frequently to pee, you won’t be able to do anything in the game, so I decided not to.
Zeng Jun spent fifteen minutes filling his stomach with all the food on the table, then simply washed the dishes, drank a glass of water, sat down, put on his helmet, and prepared to go online.
There was a "swipe" sound and a white light flashed, and Zeng Jun reappeared in Yongye City. The flow of people in Yongye City at noon was still bustling. Due to the Great Depression of the world economy and the great improvement in productivity in the past few decades, many factories have been reduced from half to half.
Manual labor has been replaced by automated production, resulting in a huge surplus of labor. The unemployment rate remains high. These large numbers of unemployed youth who have been eliminated by the real society have been shunted to the second world, which has become inseparable from people's lives.
——The virtual world has created the unprecedented prosperity of the current online game industry.
Bing Lan, Meng Dieying and others were all working hard to level up in the wild at this time. Especially after Meng Dieying obtained the dark suit, his enthusiasm for leveling was unprecedentedly high. Zeng Jun said hello to these friends and did not continue.
Interrupting their leveling.
Then, as usual, Zeng Jun browsed some content on the official website and official forum through the system configuration interface. The official website will publish some game-related information from time to time. Most of the posts on the forum are posted by players, and you can often find them among them.
Something useful to you, so browsing the official website and forums has become a compulsory homework for almost every player.
Suddenly, the title of a post caught Zeng Jun's attention, "Why is there no reward for completing the task?" The content of the post was to the effect: The player met an unknown old NPC in the slums south of Yongye City, and promised the old man to go to the Chengnan Tavern.
Taught a rogue swordsman a lesson and helped him regain his place. The rogue swordsman was very strong. The man had to go through a lot of effort and die four times before finally defeating the rogue swordsman. As a result, he hurriedly returned to hand in the task.
The nameless old NPC actually didn't give any mission rewards, which made the player extremely depressed.
There must be something fishy about this mission. This was Zeng Jun's first feeling. After obtaining advanced purification from the ruins of Andorhal, Zeng Jun was particularly sensitive to this type of mission.
According to the address described in the player's post, Zeng Jun found the slums in the south of the city and spent almost an hour finally finding the legendary unknown old man in a dark and damp dilapidated house.
"When desire erodes people's hearts, light will no longer exist in this world." When Zeng Jun walked into the dilapidated hut, the nameless old man was saying some strange words to a mottled wall.
"Young man, why are you here? Do you also want to laugh at me, a poor and weak old man?" Zeng Jun's figure blocked most of the light coming from the door. The unknown old man raised his head and glanced at the place where he stood.
Zeng Jun said weakly at the door.
"No, no, I just happened to pass by here so I stopped by to take a look. In fact, I am a kind-hearted young man. I always regard helping others as a very happy thing to complete." According to the introduction of the post.
, the player in the forum received the mission exactly after saying the above.
"Is that so? Well, kind young man, when you face a down-and-out old man like me, don't you think you should do something?"
Zeng Jun immediately took out a gold coin and gave it to the unknown old man. The old man glanced at the golden gold coin in Zeng Jun's hand, nodded with satisfaction and took the gold coin away from Zeng Jun. Don't think that Zeng Jun is now rich and powerful, so he took action.
It was so generous that the player in the forum had raised the price from one silver coin to one gold coin before the weird old man reluctantly accepted his donation.
"Young people seem to be quite caring, not bad, not bad!" The unknown old man praised, "I was bullied by a villain in the Chengnan Tavern a few days ago. Please help me teach him a lesson."
The nameless old man stopped talking when he said this, and there was no task prompt. Everything was just like what the player in the forum said.
Zeng Jun immediately set off for the Chengnan Adventurer Tavern. In the lobby on the first floor of the tavern, hundreds of players were waiting for the adventurer missions to be refreshed. The adventure missions in the Adventurer Tavern were refreshed every 12 hours, and the mission rewards were mostly the same as those of the players.
Black iron and bronze equipment of the same level are a paradise for low-end players who lack equipment, but high-end players like Zeng Jun will not come here to take on these adventure missions.
Zeng Jun did not stop in the lobby on the first floor and went directly to the second floor along the wooden stairs. There was only one NPC swordsman drinking in the huge lobby on the second floor. A big sword was placed casually on the table. According to Zeng Jun,
I judged that the grade of the sword was probably gold.
On the NPC swordsman's head is a line of small words "Rogue Swordsman Arthur".
Hearing the footsteps, Arthur slowly raised his head and glanced at Zeng Jun. With an expression of disgust on his face, he lazily said to Zeng Jun: "The kid wants to go downstairs to drink. This floor is reserved by you, Uncle Arthur."
If you don’t want to die, get out of here before your uncle Arthur changes his mind!"
Zeng Jun was furious when he heard this. Although he is not very strong yet, no one has ever spoken to him like this in the game. He cursed angrily: "Who the hell are you? Don't be so arrogant in front of me." There is no room for distinction.
He said he drew out the Qinghong Sword from his waist and rushed forward.
At the same time, Arthur's name turned red in an instant. Huo suddenly stood up, grabbed the sword on the table, kicked the wine table over, and rushed out from behind the table.
Zeng Jun took a sneak peek at Arthur's attributes - [Rogue Swordsman Arthur] (Gold level quasi-boss) HP: 50,000 Attack: 390-520 Defense: 300 Level: 35 Additional: Advanced Swordsmanship?? Turns out to be level 35
The gold-level quasi-boss, no wonder the player on the forum failed four times in a row. It seems that the player is not too weak but the opponent is too strong, and this task has a feature that does not allow others to assist. The player on the forum
After the player suffered a loss for the first time, he found a lot of helpers. As a result, Arthur's name was a friendly blue color in front of them, and the priest's treatment during the battle was ineffective against the player, so he had to rely entirely on himself.
Fight alone.
At this time, the two sides had rushed together quickly, and Zeng Jun slashed towards Arthur head-on with a Hundred Split Slash.
"Hey!"
Arthur sneered, and suddenly his foot slipped. When Zeng Jun's sword fell, he suddenly changed direction and passed by Zeng Jun. He cleverly avoided Zeng Jun's powerful and heavy blow. "Ahem!" Zeng Jun was shocked.
I was shocked, I didn't expect that an NPC would show off his skills in front of me.
The next moment, Arthur suddenly appeared in the attack blind spot on Zeng Jun's left side. With a flick of his wrist, the long sword quickly swept towards Zeng Jun's left rib. In pursuit of speed, Arthur did not use any skills in this blow.
"Qiang!" Zeng Jun couldn't dodge and was hit by Arthur's sword. There was a sharp pain in his waist and his blood dropped by 376 points.
I walked over, why was it so fierce? Zeng Jun was shocked and immediately ran forward for more than ten yards. When he was approaching the wall of the tavern, he suddenly changed direction and completed his turn while running. Fortunately, the lobby of the Adventurer Tavern in the south of the city was built big enough.
, otherwise Zeng Jun would not have been able to avoid Arthur's continuous attacks by running just now.
Turning around, Zeng Jun found that Arthur had quickly caught up with him on an S-shaped route. At this time, Zeng Jun was already close to the corner and there was no way to retreat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the initiative to meet him.
Arthur shouted softly and rushed forward with the big sword in his hand. The big sword was unstoppable and broke through Zeng Jun's defense again.
"526!"
In an instant, Zeng Jun's qi and blood had lost more than 60%. He hurriedly drank a bottle of red medicine to restore 500 qi and blood first.
The heavy blow made Zeng Jun take a few steps back. His back was already pressed against the wall, and his heart was beating violently due to nervousness.
Zeng Jun moved quickly and escaped from Arthur's attack area in embarrassment when Arthur's next attack fell. "Crack!" There was a sound, and the tip of Arthur's long sword sank into the wooden wall of the tavern.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zeng Jun turned around and hit Arthur with a flash of ice. The Green Rainbow Sword turned into a blue rainbow light and landed on Arthur's right shoulder.
"Pfft!"
"837!
The Qinghong Sword is so sharp. One sword cut open the armor on Arthur's shoulder. At the same time, Arthur's armor was stained with a light layer of frost. This was the frost slowing effect of the Ice Light skill.
Arthur pulled out the sword from the wooden wall, turned around and swept away thousands of armies. The sword reflected three sword energy and hit Zeng Jun's chest, but due to the frost deceleration, Arthur's movements were slightly slower than before.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Zeng Jun swung his sharp blade and successfully parried Arthur's three consecutive sword attacks that swept across the army three times in a row. Then he quickly feinted with his sword and tricked Arthur into dodging to the left.
Zeng Jun's face revealed a sinister smile of a successful plot, and a ray of white light emerged from the edge of the Green Rainbow Sword, which penetrated Arthur's breastplate directly.
"1529!"
A big damage number floated above Arthur's head. The Wild Knife ignored 50% of the target's armor, and its attack power was really sharp.
Falling into passivity, Arthur suddenly gritted his teeth and endured another sharp blade attack from Zeng Jun. He raised his right foot fiercely and kicked Zeng Jun in the lower abdomen, sending Zeng Jun flying away.
Arthur is a gold-level quasi-boss, and Zeng Jun cannot directly compete with him in terms of strength.
Zeng Jun was secretly shocked. This NPC was so intelligent. The tactics and positioning he used in the fight had the look of a swordsman master. There were even many moves that would not be seen even if a master swordsman player was asked to complete them.
It must have been done beautifully by Arthur.
Every master in the world has slowly grown up through battles with high-level opponents. What Zeng Jun lacks now is just such an opponent. Although Zero Degree and EQ are equal to zero, they are of high level, but they are friends.
If you are not the enemy, you will never experience the feeling of fighting with them that can only be experienced in a real life and death battle.
Not knowing whether the task of teaching Arthur a lesson could be repeated, Zeng Jun suddenly had some extravagant hopes in his heart.
