Chapter Eight A Steamed Bun

() The system rewards the skill that can be upgraded - Insight. Qin Xiaobai didn't take it seriously at first, but after helping him discover an early-stage magical skill and an early-stage artifact, Qin Xiaobai suddenly felt that his skill was extraordinary, and now

It's just a first-level nine-star rating, not to mention that there may be huge room for improvement in the future. Even now, at least it is much more reliable than that cheating monster taunt...

So after running on the road again, Qin Xiaobai kept looking around with insight, hoping to find some hidden good things, but found nothing. He was even regarded as a wolf NPC by beautiful players, and several of them took advantage of their appearance.

I am a pretty good female player, and I even came here to hook up with her, wanting to see if I could trigger some special missions or something...

The blacksmith's shop is made of bricks and stones. It is the only brick and stone building in the small village. The clanging sound inside is loud and clear.

Qin Xiaobai finally arrived at his destination. He held on to the stone wall and sat directly on the stone bench outside the door. After running for more than two hours, he felt that his legs were about to give out...

"One day, I will definitely ride on a BMW horse and ride freely on the land..." Qin Xiaobai has countless regrets...

Fortunately, because Lotus Seed Soup continued to recover, his physical strength increased instead of decreasing, reaching fourteen o'clock.

After resting for a while, Qin Xiaobai walked into the blacksmith shop with stiff legs, holding a steel fork in his left hand and holding on to the stone wall with his right hand.

"Young man, do you want to repair weapons? Come and take a look, here is the price list." The owner of the blacksmith shop, Blacksmith Zhang, is tall, rugged, and has a rough face, but at this moment, he is smiling when talking about business.

The sight of Jian Shang made Qin Xiaobai shudder in his heart, thinking of the evil old man Qian.

Repair the durability by five points, reduce the total durability by five points, and cost ten coins.

Repairs the durability by ten points, reduces the total durability by three points, and costs twenty coins.

Repair the durability by 15 points, reduce the total durability by 1 point, and cost 30 coins.

Perfectly repair twenty points of durability, without reducing the total durability, fifty points.

Qin Xiaobai swallowed. Fortunately, he had already prepared, so he was not intimidated by the price list, but he still thought to himself: "It's really too profitable..."

"Young man, I see you are short of money, like this! I heard that Mrs. Wang's melon field had a good harvest and there were several pumpkins. How about you bring me two and I will do a perfect repair for you for free?" Blacksmith Zhang suddenly said

He twitched his nose twice and said with a longing look on his face.

Because the friendliness reached the standard, Qin Xiaobai did not actively use keywords and automatically triggered the task.

When the mission develops to this point, most ordinary players will be overjoyed. If the pumpkin is sold, it will only cost ten coins at most. But here, two can be exchanged for a perfect repair of fifty coins. Such a sure-profit transaction will definitely be sold immediately.

Hand over the pumpkin.

But Qin Xiaobai had read the mission database and knew that the golden melon was of great use at the end of the series of missions, so he could not compromise here, so he said with an embarrassed look: "Tiejiang Zhang, you also know that golden melons are rare and cannot be produced in a year.

A few, Grandma Wang usually doesn’t take out, she usually leaves them for her family to use if they want. If you want to get them, you have to pay a lot of money, and I can’t even get half of them!”

The memory of this mission was a bit fuzzy, and he didn't know the detailed strategy. Qin Xiaobai had no choice but to use the most common bargaining method to give it a try, but he didn't have much hope for a perfect repair.

But we have to lower the price first, and then see if we can use a pumpkin to repair it for thirty cents.

Or check your memory to see if there are any tasks related to Blacksmith Zhang.

"Boy, my nose is very good. I can smell that you are carrying pumpkins. You are like this because you are deliberately trying to get a price with me. Hum, if it were normal, I would throw you out of the store, but now, hum,

The wine I am brewing is about to take shape, and I urgently need two auxiliary ingredients, and pumpkin is one of them. My final bottom line is a complete pumpkin. It will be perfect once you change it. It’s up to you whether to change it or not.”

Zhang Tiejiang was very unhappy and sprayed out two streams of white mist from his nostrils, staring at Qin Xiaobai fiercely, as if he would eat him alive if he didn't change.

Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed, and quickly took out a pumpkin and gave it to Blacksmith Zhang, and handed over a steel fork for him to repair.

I thought to myself: "After the difficulty of the butcher shop task increased, I accidentally overcomplicated the other tasks and forgot that this is a welfare village... Well, no, novice village, there are so many twists and turns."

After Blacksmith Zhang took the pumpkin, his eyes showed joy. Without saying anything, he took the steel fork and removed the prongs.

The frame was clamped with iron tongs and quenched on the furnace, and several apprentices were asked to hammer it with hammers. The so-called perfect repair was actually returning to the furnace and refining it.

There were no more words in the blacksmith shop, only sonorous sounds remained. Qin Xiaobai sat aside and waited, recovering his physical strength, and casually called up Blacksmith Zhang's attributes to check.

Blacksmith Zhang is a seventh-level, fourth-level blacksmith with strength ten, agility one, body ten, no politics, no wisdom, no charm, and no unity.

Passive skill - steel tempering (failed to detect annotation, failed to detect level.)

Perhaps it was because Blacksmith Zhang's professional level was high enough that he only had to wait for a while before the steel fork head was re-tempered.

Steel fork, the strength attribute increases by two, the agility attribute increases by two, the durability is twenty-five twenty-five, and it is in brand new condition.

Qin Xiaobai took over the steel fork with satisfaction. After repairing it, its attributes quadrupled. When he returned, he would definitely get a significant increase in Wang Orion's friendship.

After bidding farewell to Blacksmith Zhang, Qin Xiaobai walked out of the blacksmith shop and walked to the East District on East Street. He remembered that there was a bun shop there.

We are about to enter the last part of the series of tasks. It is physical work, and the best way to restore physical strength is naturally to eat. Although the steamed buns do not taste very good, they are more affordable, and because they contain a little meat, they are still good.

It has the effect of restoring blood volume.

The East District is not far from the blacksmith shop. Qin Xiaobai arrived after walking for a while. Many people gathered in front of the bun shop, and they were all players. "The village gate is blocked by the wind wolf. You can't go out to kill monsters. Come here to buy some."

What are the buns for?"

Qin Xiaobai walked closer and discovered that the prefixes of the names above the heads of these players all had the word "Fire".

It seemed they were from the Flame Alliance. What were they doing here? Qin Xiaobai was confused and listened attentively.

After a while, Qin Xiaobai understood the matter from the words they talked to each other.

It turned out that it was the guy named Lihuo Liaoyuan who had done a good job in saving the beauty but was defeated. He couldn't save his face, so he decided to collect enough money to buy red medicine and weapons, gather 300 ranked fire players, and make another wave, killing two wind wolves in one attack.

Qin Xiaobai secretly laughed in his heart: "The Blazing Fire is really a good plan. At this time, he pretended to be a man and attacked Feng Lang to paralyze his player power."

"Once he defeats Feng Lang, he will become the hero of thousands of players in the entire Novice Village, attracting more players to join their alliance. If he loses, it will just be a battle of temperament for beauty and face, and it will not make people laugh.

"Hehe, but he doesn't know that the Wind Wolf skill has a summoning effect. He will definitely fail this time."

"Sir, can you please give me a steamed bun? My grandpa hasn't eaten for three days." A little girl with a dirty face ran up to Qin Xiaobai, stretched out her little hand and tugged at the corner of Qin Xiaobai's clothes.

, saluted him, then raised his young face and looked at him, his big watery eyes full of pleading.

I don’t know why, this little girl, only nineteen years old, is obviously a beggar, but her words and deeds are very polite, and she also has a vague ethereal temperament of a scholarly family. Although she is covered in dust, she makes people feel fresh and out of the world.

"An NPC beggar?" Qin Xiaobai was delighted. This kind of down-and-out NPC was the easiest to conquer.

Hua Rui'er, level two, refugee, strength 0.5, agility 0.5, body level two, political power, wisdom level three, charm, and unity.

Hungry state, no skills

After using the insight, Qin Xiaobai shook his head. He originally wanted to conquer an NPC, and then open the star system to cultivate it later to add support to himself in the future. It doesn't matter if the level is almost the same, but lack of skills means lack of potential.

, that would be difficult to do.

Seeing Qin Xiaobai shaking his head, thinking that he was rejected, the little girl's eyes were full of mist, but maybe it was because she was trying to live up to her ambition, or maybe she was used to being rejected, so the tears did not stay after all, so she mustered up her courage and walked towards the next person.

"Sir, can you please give me a steamed bun?" The little girl begged this time to a player named Lie Huo Zunxin.

Liehuo Wuxin first thought that some mission had been triggered and was ecstatic. However, after discovering that it was not a mission NPC, he put the little girl aside in disgust and patted the stained corner of his clothes.

The little girl was brought to the ground by inertia, and her knees hit a stone, causing severe pain. This time, her tears finally couldn't be held back, and they poured out like spring water, but she still tried her best to hold it in without making a sound.

She knew that allowing refugees like her and her grandfather to enter the village was already the maximum tolerance limit of the village. If she cried loudly and disgusted the villagers, she and her grandfather might be kicked out of the village and returned to the refugees.

Camp, we will have to face the freezing cold all night and the presence of jackals, tigers and leopards. Grandpa's old body will definitely not be able to withstand the torment.

Qin Xiaobai's heart moved. There are some things that when you do it yourself, you won't feel anything, but when you become a bystander, you realize how ugly it is.

In addition, he himself was now an NPC, and a feeling of empathy came to his mind.

The proprietress of the steamed bun shop, although she is nearly thirty years old, has fair and delicate skin. She has never been married because of her husband's appearance, but because of her fair skin and beauty, she is called the steamed bun Xishi.

Baozi Xishi has always been kind-hearted and has given alms to the little girl several times. However, the taxes in the village are extremely high and she is not rich herself. She knows that she cannot always give alms to the little girl.

But he still couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out a steamed bun left over from last night and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, sister." The little girl felt as if she had found a treasure, and carefully took half of the steamed bun, with a smile on her face, but she felt it was too rude, so she quickly wiped it with her sleeves, and did not forget to salute the bun.

But at this moment, Liehuo Wuxin, who was standing next to the little girl, suddenly reached out and grabbed the steamed bun.

"Haha, a steamed bun is only a penny." Li Huo put the steamed bun into his pocket with a smug look on his face. You must know that the starting capital of a new player is only a penny.

Now, without any effort, he has 100% more capital than other players, so he is naturally proud.

The other players, seeing this situation, were filled with envy and jealousy. It was a pity that the one who made Liehuo innocent was the one closest to him.

The little girl was stunned, her eyes were blurry and lackluster. The biggest trauma to a person's soul is that it can give people hope in a desperate situation, but also make people completely despair.

"Return the steamed buns to her, or I will expose all your newbie outfits and let you return to the village to be reborn." With murderous intent, the crowd involuntarily separated into a road, and one person walked from the road holding a steel fork and another carrying pork.
