The mercenary guild in Punk City is about the size of a train station waiting hall. The interior is very empty. The mercenary guild leader is an intelligent NPC named Lando. This guy is the former deputy leader of the mercenary group who recruited him. He looks very thin and small.
He is very wretched, wearing the standard equipment of a thief, and always has a flattering smile, no matter who he treats.
Many players recognized him and said that this was not the 'humanoid' from Chapter 1 or 2 of the expansion pack. They almost killed him at first, but unfortunately, unfortunately, there is no chance now.
The most people employed by the mercenary guild are the residents of Punk City. These guys, commonly known as clerks, have a very bad attitude. They have no sense of serving others. They go to the window to register or ask about other things, and they just throw a few wrong words and throw a tantrum.
The attitude of treating players as inappropriate players has been criticized by many people.
The mission notice board hanging in the center of the hall also marks the mission levels according to gray, white, green, blue, and purple. Now you can only accept gray and white missions, and the colored ones are covered with cloth strips.
, not letting players see it.
Players can become mercenaries for free and upgrade their adventurer level by completing low-level tasks. Adventurers can be regarded as a special side job, and everyone can take up the job. In principle, tourists are also allowed.
After gaining level status, you can accept and publish adventure missions. Before the paint of the guild is dry, there are many missions waiting for players to take on. The most common ones are to explore the game map. The publishers are from various high-level intelligent NPCs, including Edward, Yaris, and Bao.
The four pairs of Lord Bo and Sister Alice are famous among players. They have released exploration missions in four directions, and players can take them repeatedly.
Underneath these gray-white tasks with the highest priority are bounty tasks issued by the residents of Punk City. Which hotel is short of a waiter, which hotel has lost its cat, which hotel is hiring part-time workers to help farm, and so on.
The NPCs in Punk City also have copper coins, and they are generally richer than the players. They can obtain them from the system stably through management and production, and they can also extract legal and illegal profits from the players through a variety of means. Relatively speaking, players
They are still relatively weak, which also creates the phenomenon of NPCs looking down on players.
Skip these messy task entries, and at the bottom are the tasks posted by players.
There is a reward for a newbie who is not short of money to help him upgrade.
There are people who hire people to obtain a certain dungeon, a certain monster spawning point, and a certain collection point to obtain certain tasks and daily necessities.
There are also organizations that change the name and put advertisements on it.
Of course, there are also those who are bored and advertise for companions to chat with or play with, as well as thugs, bodyguards, and even actors to play part-time roles.
There are all kinds of things, everything you want.
The adventure level determines the quality of the tasks you can publish and accept. Gray and white tasks have very low requirements for adventure level and credit, which can usually be achieved by doing one or two tasks.
When it comes to rewards, 2 coppers and 3 coppers are very common, and more than 10 coppers are rare. In addition to monetary rewards, there is also the adventure experience and credit of the mercenary guild. The former is used to improve the adventure level, and the latter is used to
When there is a conflict between releasing and accepting tasks, in the comparative judgment, under the same conditions, the person with higher credibility will naturally be given priority.
In addition to these pitiful mission rewards, there is a bounty mission of up to 1 gold that attracts the most attention. The mission requirements are also very strange. They are actually looking for a player named "Bai Xiaobai". Anyone who can provide clues for the publisher to find
Anyone who plays this game can get a reward of up to 1 gold.
This is 1 gold!
Xia Miaomiao, Fan Chaoyue and Du Shiyu registered as [Trainee Adventurers] and obtained the initial status of Adventurer Level 1 and Credit Level 10. They were also attracted by this strange task and stood under the public notice board, listening to the discussions among the players.
A female player said in a nymphomaniacal manner that the 'love' in real life must have developed into the game, and she even made eloquent remarks to her companions about the Overbearing President (the mission publisher) and the White Lotus Shou (Bai Xiaobai).
She was fascinated by the story of sadomasochism and said with tears in her eyes, "If someone spends 1 gold to find me in the game, my aunt will immediately follow him, no matter what he does..."
Another dwarf warrior said for sure that this was a vendetta, and made up his mind for it. A lucky player (task publisher) accidentally discovered a secret monster camp on the new map. After going through many difficulties and obstacles, he finally cleared the level and entered the camp.
A huge treasure was discovered inside, and then a
A sinister guy named Bai Xiaobai appeared, killed this lucky player in a sneak attack, and took this huge treasure as his own... Only such hatred is worth spending 1 gold to find him, and the treasure must be more than
Yijin, if I find Bai Xiaobai, what will happen, what will happen...
Du Shiyu and the other three were happy to hear this, and they were also very curious about who he was and how much grudge and hatred he had to have to spend a gold coin to find someone. They also followed the trend and accepted the task. Anyway, there was no requirement for a time limit for the task. Let's just try our luck.
, maybe I bumped into this guy named Bai Xiaobai that day.
The lobby is very lively and the players are very enthusiastic. The appearance of mercenary guild and adventurer missions finally allows the players to feel integrated into this world again. Although they have been doing missions, spawning monsters and upgrading before, they always feel similar to this.
The real world is separated by one layer, players are players, NPPPC hires and are hired, and their identities and life trajectories are also separated.
Now, the two have merged for the first time, and the player's game process has a profound integration with the world, gradually intertwining from two incompatible straight lines.
The game experience has suddenly improved greatly. The vast game map, endless discoveries and treasures are hidden in that unknown corner, just waiting for some lucky guy to discover... Think about it,
Exciting.
Senior NPC, the current Lord of Alpha City, Yaris released an adventure mission to explore the south. Relatively few people took it. The south is the direction of the Rock Fortress. It is said to be very dangerous. Some players who do not believe in evil have been failed many times.
, as soon as you encounter a humanoid from the enemy camp,
Monsters or centaurs were either killed or captured. Some particularly unlucky players were forced offline due to the game's protection mechanism. Only when they came online did they find out that they needed to rebuild their characters, and everything on their bodies and in their backpacks was lost.
It's all gone, and the level has dropped by one or two levels.
Du Shiyu was a little hesitant when he saw that exploring south was so dangerous. Xia Miaomiao was eager to give it a try and encouraged her, saying, we just have to be careful. There are too many people in other directions, and I don't know how many people are walking in front of us.
Fan Chaoyue also tends to continue heading south. There are fewer players in this direction and new maps are easy to discover. He is even more curious about the indigenous cities and civilizations in the Canaan world. He hopes to discover such people and scenic spots as soon as possible.
Du Shiyu couldn't stand the instigation of the two men, so he took on the adventurous mission of exploring south.
There are other rewards for missions. Adventure experience and credit rewards are the most generous among the gray missions. When you discover a new map, you can upgrade to an adventure level. With 20 credit points, you will be able to publish your own adventure missions soon.
After leaving the noisy mercenary guild hall, a group of new players walked towards them. The player walking in front was the most eye-catching because she was holding a weapon and equipment that she had never seen before.
A harp!
"Wow, bard!"
Xia Miaomiao recognized the identity of this new profession at a glance.
Finally a cute new twist.
Time flies so fast.
It seems like yesterday that the fourth test server was launched, but in fact it has been almost a month.
It only takes one turn a month, which shows how 'harsh' the system becomes when there are more players. This one-turn task will surely make the newbies want to die.
I think back to when I turned around, it's like yesterday... I just don't know whether the bard got a gold medal or a silver medal.
The bard looked like a big boss, and he didn't even look at the three beauties who were coming towards him. He learned from the dog-legged follower behind him that this was a gold medal player...
Xia Miaomiao looked back at this rookie gold medal player who was only level 6 or 7 with a disappointed look, feeling like she was being compared.
"Xiao Yu, we have to get a gold medal for the second round. Look at the two pieces of equipment I washed, they have gold and silver medal requirements. There will definitely be a lot of similar requirements in the future. We need to make plans in advance from now on!"
Du Shiyu also felt sad. The newcomers appeared, and the old people naturally felt a sense of crisis. The previous tests were not as strong as this one. Being surpassed by these players who had always looked down on them and looked like beggars made an old player's reserve and
Confidence cannot accept it.
"Come on, let's win the gold medal too!" Fan Chaoyue waved his fist to encourage him.
It was rare that Xia Miaomiao didn't quarrel with her, she kept nodding her head, and then said to her best friend, "That's why I need to practice. How can I get a gold medal without good equipment? Buy it? The system is so stingy that the elites won't even drop a white item... Look.
Well, once the inventory is used up, it won’t last long, so you won’t be able to buy it even if you want to, so you’ll have to refine it yourself.”
"Here you come again!" Du Shiyu was actually a little persuaded by her.
"Just tell me whether what I said makes sense!"
"I think it makes sense!" Fan Chaoyue always praised, "My top-quality blue longbow has lost 5 durability after repairing it a few times. If this continues, it will become useless in a short time. I don't know what to do in the future.
, If it’s not as good as this one, I won’t use it.”
Du Shiyu was speechless. How could these two guys be more unreliable than the other? What they said could make people mad to death.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Let's go explore the new map."
"It's an adventure, an adventure!" Fan Chaoyue corrected enthusiastically.
"Yes, yes, take risks, take risks!"
An adventure, mixed with a lot of romantic heroic ideas and feelings, Fan Chaoyue was particularly fond of this trick, urging the two of them to take the teleportation back to the D104 area where they started last time.
This is already the very southern location of the game map, the farthest place where players have set foot. There was no one else there when they left a few hours ago. Now that they are back, there are already three or four players wandering around.
The three people's sense of crisis increased greatly, and they quickly took out the game map.
"The Suzuki Crypt is here. Should we start from the Suzuki Crypt and continue south?"
"Well, with such a large area of darkness ahead, there must be many valuable maps."
"Then get ready and go!"
The three of them went to the warehouse to store equipment, changed into rags that would not hurt them even if they were dropped, and bought supplies, especially food and water.
I don’t know how many days this trip will take, and there are still tents...
Xia Miaomiao: "Xiaoyu, why does this tent look so familiar to me? Look at the stitching, you don't want it to be artificially sewn... Canaan still has nylon?"
Fan Chaoyue: ""Maybe the programmers are lazy. What do you care about this? Let's go, take risks, oh, take risks."
Xia Miaomiao: "Why are you so excited, as if you are going for an outing?"
Fan Chaoyue: "I want you to take care of it!"
Xia Miaomiao: "The hobby of big stars is that they are different from others!"
Xia Miaomiao: "If you say it again, if you say it again I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
"Come on, come on, pk, duel!"
"Okay, look at Xuewu!"
"Are you two done? Let's go!"
Under the scorching midday sun, I walked out of the small, simple, and quiet camp, and walked on an unknown, primitive, dangerous land full of rewards and passion. Everywhere I looked was the mysterious and ultimate beauty that could be captured in a painting.
Fan Chaoyue was not the only one to be excited, but Xia Miaomiao and Du Shiyu were also so excited. They walked into the dense forests they saw everywhere. The sunlight was blocked by the dense tree crowns, and the sunlight shining down was dappled. Some unknown insects were singing around, and some unknown insects were singing around.
What birds are chirping?
Chasing and playing, an unknown monster disappeared in the depths of the jungle. An unknown flower was shaped like a peony and was extremely beautiful. The system prompted that it could be collected. Fan Chaoyue cheered and rushed over, picked a flower and put it on his head.
Looking back with a smile under the mottled light and shadow.
"Am I beautiful!?"
Xia Miaomiao: "So beautiful!"
Thanks to this location, the wilderness finally changed its endless shape. The field of vision was blocked by forests, mountains, canyons and lakes. As soon as the excitement of the three people passed, they soon realized the discomfort and discomfort of being in a primitive environment.
difficult!
The buzzing insects flying around them could not be driven away no matter how hard they tried. After a while, the three of them entered a state of continuous blood loss and slight poisoning. They had not reached the location where they last discovered the [Suzuki Crypt].
Don't stop to set up camp.
A bonfire was built, the food brought was heated on the fire, and bubbles bubbled up in the iron pot produced by the system, and a very fragrant but slightly fishy smell filled the air.
The three of them found a creek that they hadn't discovered last time, got water, and sat down to enjoy a not-so-tasting lunch. Their fatigue and negative state disappeared.
"The game time is running out, try to get to the Suzuki Crypt and log off!"
Du Shiyu cheered up the two exhausted companions.
At this moment, a group of noisy and smelly goblins suddenly rushed out from the dense forest, led by a level 15 bugbear, and charged towards the three of them with howls.
"What bad luck!" Xia Miaomiao threw down the remaining bones and cracked the knuckles of her hands, "Get up (kicking Fan Chaoyue), don't be lazy!"
The battle ended in a very short period of time. What surprised the three of them was that the leader of the bugbears, who was only level 15, actually exploded something.
"It seems that what was said on the forum is true. The explosion rate of wild monsters in the new map is very high." Du Shiyu put the white leather armor that exploded into his backpack and was very happy.
"First kill?" Xia Miaomiao asked excitedly.
"Um!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Get up quickly, let's go make a fortune...Oh, let's go work!"
