Take a look at your own data and find that the life and attack have increased a lot after the upgrade. Now you don't have to be so careful to kill the corpse-eating mince. Even if you get to the neck, you probably can't hang it.
Even killing nineteen monsters did not burst out anything good. The best magic stone I picked up was only a white level five. Arnold was so thoughtful that he immediately guessed that the first time the green magic stone broke out was because it was the first monster he killed, which was a system reward.
"I've been killed for more than half an hour. Let's complete the task first." There are more and more eaters in front of you. Move forward carefully. Try to avoid monsters that can be avoided. After killing more than a dozen second-level monster eaters in more than half an hour, they finally successfully passed this barrier.
A simple stone village is backed by Xiaoshan Erjian, and two zombies in black armor with big knives guarded at the entrance of the village.
"Hey, little zombie, where are you from?" A guard asked.
"I'm a novice from the Ashes Plain."
"I know you are from the Ash Plain. Do you want to enter the village?" Another guard asked.
Arnold secretly slandered, "If you know, you still ask."
But he said respectfully, "Yes."
A guard looked around and stretched out his hand and said, "Bed it."
Arnold was puzzled and asked, "What?"
The guard said dissatisfiedly, "Well, of course it's a silver coin. If you are a novice, I'll charge you a silver coin for the time being."
"I don't have silver coins."
Another guard suddenly realized and said, "He is a novice and has no money."
But after saying that, he continued, "Then hand over ten white second-level magic stones first."
Another guard echoed and said, "Yes, you have reached the second level. You must have hunted a lot of eaters. There should be a magic stone, right?"
"Yes, but the white second-level one is only four yuan. Can I use other levels of mortgage?"
"Of course, hand it over quickly."
"*, these guards are really black. A green first-class magic stone is only worth a silver coin, and they suddenly want a silver coin." Arnold scolded in his heart, but reluctantly took out the magic stone worth just one silver coin and handed it to the more fierce guard.
"System Tip: Heipi requests a transaction, is it a transaction?"
"Yes."
The guard took over the magic stone and said nothing, but the other one stretched out his hand and said, "What about mine?"
Arnold immediately alerted and asked the non-intelligent instrument on his wrist, "XZ7462, is there a charge for entering the novice village?"
"No." The instrument answered very simply.
Arnold's face immediately darkened, staring at the guard who collected his magic stone and whispered, "Your name is Heipi, and you are also a game player, right?"
The guard named Heipi nodded proudly, and the other also laughed jokingly and said, "You can't attack in the village. Don't look at us like this, haha..."
Arnold didn't understand why the player became the guard of the village. The cheated magic stone seemed to not come back and directly bypassed the two people into the village.
"System Tip: Do you want to turn on the character information reading function?"
"Yes." Arnold asked, "Turn on all those functions."
After the character information reading function is turned on, the game name and level are displayed on the head of each player seen by Arnold. If it is an NPC, the name and status are displayed.
"System Tip: Do you have the character tracking function turned on?"
"Yes."
"System prompt: Do you want to turn on the voice communication function?"
"Yes."
"The voice communication function has been successfully turned on. One gold coin is deducted from the basic fee every month, and the communication fee is calculated in seconds, one copper coin per second."
Arnold shouted, "What! Do you still want gold coins? Turn it off."
"System prompt: Voice communication has been successfully turned off. This month's communication fee has been deducted by one gold coin, and your account balance is minus one gold coin."
"I*" Arnold is about to go crazy. Even if he is cheated out of a silver coin by two players, the system has also changed its way to cheat him. Now, as soon as he entered the game, he became a large debt, a gold coin. How far away it is. His current magic stones are sold, which is worth three silver coins.
"System Tip:..."
"Stop, you don't have to turn it all on."
The system reminds: "You have been in debt with a gold coin. If you can't pay it off within a month, you will be disqualified from the game."
"..."
After turning on the automatic reading function of character information, a new trouble came again. When Arnold walked to the village head stone house where players were concentrated, what he saw was all kinds of data in front of him, and the messy scene became more dazzling in Arnold's eyes.
Most of these people are still at the second level. The appearance of the third level is only the fourth level. Some come to report to the village head like Arnold, and some come to hand in the task. Next to the village head's stone house is a forging room and a bakery. There are also many people around the bakery, and there will be hunger in the game. Arnold has been a little tired and tired because he hasn't eaten for a long time.
"Sell the magic stone first, and then buy two pieces of bread to replenish your strength." Arnold was so cost-effective, but he immediately woke up. He is now in debt. If he sells the magic stone, the money will be automatically deducted by the system.
Ninety-nine percent of the zombie clans and skeleton clans who enter the game at this time are dragon players invited by Zhoufeng Company, which are used for the summoning of money players who directly enter the game at level 20. These people are most of the poor or unscrupulous people on the street, and there is no credibility and morality between the bottom of these societies. The two players at the entrance of the village are examples.
If you can't sell magic stones, you can only ask others for help. Arnold stood aside and carefully looked at every player who sells magic stones at merchants and then buys food. There is no queuing in the game, and you can only rely on your personal strength to talk to NPCs. Whoever is more powerful and more domineering can squeeze in the front. A thin Wushan was waiting beside him. He obviously hadn't eaten for a long time and seemed a little weak. Wushan was called Wushan, which was only two levels.
"That's him." Arnold chose to take the initiative to talk to him, "Hey, buddy, are you going to buy bread?"
"Yes." Wu Shan looked at Arnold warily and said.
"Are you also recruited by the game company?"
"Yes."
"Me too. I live on the nutrient solution of the alliance. Are you too?"
"Yes."
Seeing that the other party was more dull than himself, Arnold couldn't help but feel a little confident and continued to chat up, "I'm 17 years old this year old, and I can find a job in a year. How about you?"
"Is there anything you can do for me? Say it."
Arnold was stunned and said embarrassedly, "I accidentally turned on the voice communication system and was deducted a gold coin. Now I'm in debt..."
After hearing Arnold's explanation, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Do you want me to help you sell the magic stone and buy bread to satisfy your hunger?"
Arnold replied, "Yes."
Wushan said, "I was cheated out of a magic stone worth a silver coin by two players guarding the village at the entrance of the village. After being cheated, the system asked if to turn on the character information reading system. The first time I played a game, I didn't know that there was this function at all, and I didn't know what other functions there were. I simply let the system turn on all the functions. Then I accidentally turned it on like you..."
Finally, Wushan concluded, "So I'm in debt like you. I want to find a reliable player here to help sell the magic stone and buy two pieces of bread to satisfy my hunger."
Arnold was speechless. Why is this Wushan's experience the same as himself, but it seems that he is not the only one who is unlucky. He feels a little comforted in his heart. The faint depression caused by debt is also swept away and asked, "Look at the way you are already hungry. How long have you been hungry?"
"It's almost a day. Killing monsters and rushing on the road will increase hunger. The place where I was born is relatively close to the village. After finding the village head, I received the task of killing the corpse-eater, and the silver coin reward I got was directly deducted by the system."
"It seems that you entered the game before me. I don't know..." Halfway through Arno's words, more than a dozen players squeezed in front of the NPC selling bread suddenly disappeared.
"Where have they been?" Arnold asked.
"Of course, it is summoned. The creatures that can only be summoned by the spiritual master can only be skeletons or zombies. We players are recruited for those rich players to summon."
"These unlucky guys must have gone back, right?" Arnold asked.
"Of course, I have seen two groups of people being summoned away, and I haven't seen them come back yet. By the way, my name is Wushan, and your name is Arnold, right?
"Well, haven't you and I turned on the automatic reading system of character information?"
More than a dozen people were missing all of a sudden, and after a while of waiting, the NPC selling bread finally appeared.
Food merchant: Amelia
Level: 10
......
Introduction: A hard-working zombie woman with a pair of wonderful hands that can provide zombies in the village with all kinds of delicious food that only human beings and elves can make...
"Do you think this NPC is intelligent?" Wushan stared at the endless bamboo basket in Amelia's hand.
"Maybe it should be." Arnold understands Wushan's thoughts.
"Do you think she will allow us to exchange bread with her directly with the magic stone?"
"We can try it."
"Okay, let's try it. I feel like I'm going to starve to death. I can't eat food in reality. Can't I starve to death in the game?"
Arnold has a deep understanding of this. In reality, he almost starved to death countless times and starved to death when he entered the game. Is he starving all his life?
"Oc., you must try it."
After waiting for a long time, the two finally came to Aunt Amelia, who asked enthusiastically:
"Hey, do you need any food for the two young warriors? I have freshly baked bread here, which also exudes the fragrance of wheat ears. You can buy one with only ten copper coins. And..."
"Can I exchange the magic stone for bread directly? I have a magic stone worth 20 copper coins, just a piece of bread," Wu Shan asked pleadingly.
"Direct exchange for bread?" Aunt Amelia asked doubtfully, "You can sell me the magic stone, and then you can buy bread. Why do you exchange it directly?"
"I..." Wu Shan explained.
"What!" The amiable aunt immediately turned her face and roared, "You shameful debtor, you are trying to escape the debt in this way..."
Arnold and Wushan were scared by the roar of their aunt and rushed away from the crowd.
"I can't do it. I feel like I'm going to starve to death. Damn*. I'm really unwilling. In reality, I starve on the street every day. I finally starve to death when I enter a game. I'm really unwilling!"
Arnold looked at a player who had just bought bread, pulled it directly, and said eagerly, "Sell me a piece of bread, and I'll give you a magic stone. How about it?"
"Of course it's no problem."
"Let's make an offer."
"How many pieces do you want for a piece of bread for a magic stone worth fifty copper coins?"
"It's so expensive! It's cheaper." Arnold pleaded.
Do you want it? Don't let me continue to do the task. The higher the level, the greater the chance of survival. My time is very precious, teenager. The player said unhappily.
"Okay, dry. Here are magic stones worth three silver coins. I'll give you all of them. Give me six pieces of bread. Please hurry up."
"What's the hurry? Open the trading system."
"System prompt: Player A Jiao requests a transaction, do you agree?"
After Arnold was fooled once, he had a heart. He saw that it was indeed six pieces of bread that the other party was trading, so he put all the magic stones on it and said:
"Agree to exchange."
"System Tip: Successful transaction!"
Arnold hurriedly turned around with bread and ran to Wushan. There was no shadow of Wushan on the black street made of narrow and gloomy stones.
"Did you starve to death so soon?" Arnold put away the bread.
"System Tip: Every 20 pieces of small bread is a group, and five pieces of bread are successfully stored. This prompt will no longer be displayed in the future."
"It's really a non-intelligent instrument, and there is no emotion at all." Take the bread and eat it crazily.
