1013 Escort Mission
Unable to continue hanging around in the village, Xiao Ming thought, so he might as well go to the town.
Everything else is easy to talk about. The alchemist's blueprints and the like have never been heard of in this small village. We must go to a larger place.
While thinking about it in my mind, I strengthened the things I had on hand.
I was thinking of taking one last trip around the village to get some benefits and wrap things up. It would be best if I could receive a mission to go to a small town. Suddenly I heard someone saying hello:
"Explorer, you are here too? What a coincidence!" He shouted, isn't this Datang BBQ?
He raised his hand and was about to say hello, but found that Datang bbq's eyes were not focused on him.
Oh, by the way, I am now a researcher, so I quickly switched back to the explorer. I started chatting with Datang bbq.
Datang bbq should be the Datang Guild that specializes in external communication. After playing for a long time, he has a lot of stuff on him.
Letting go to show off to Xiao Ming is not without the intention of showing off, showing off the muscles, and not losing face of the guild in front of other guild bosses (who have misunderstandings about Xiao Ming).
In the early stages of the game, powerful guilds can communicate with each other, which will be of great help to both parties.
Xiao Ming, an independent player, doesn't understand these things. He seems to be quite generous and shows most of his items to others.
Of course, core things like the Crusader skill mark "Two Consecutive Cuts" must be hidden. This time, Datang bbq is drooling.
The things that Xiao Ming has enhanced are really incredible. For example, the enhanced poison arrows and medicinal arrows have surpassed excellence and become sophisticated items. They are so powerful! At this stage, they are definitely priceless but not marketable.
The two of them didn't bargain much. Xiao Ming couldn't sell the marching tents, maps, Si Nan and other things, but he could buy some leather from Datang.
The result was that Datang got fine poisonous arrows and 5 medicinal arrows each. Xiao Ming took more than 10 pieces of leather from Datang and received eight gold coins, but he didn't ask for any change.
bbq tried hard to get away with the tiger's excrement. In exchange for it, Xiao Ming was given the swordsman-type passive skill "Dual Wielding".
It allows one-handed swordsmen to pick up off-hand weapons, but those who use two-handed swords such as great swords cannot dual-wield. The off-hand weapon has an attack power of 60.
The skill also allows the off-hand of a one-handed swordsman to abandon his shield and use his sword to increase his attack power. Unfortunately, Han Dong, the future Crusader of Light, uses a two-handed sword.
The transaction is completed. Datang bbq expresses that it owes Xiao Ming a great favor. If you have any questions, please speak to me!
He had just left for a short while, when Xiao Ming glanced at the researcher behind him and immediately felt something strange.
With such a big living person standing here, bbq didn't ask any questions. And if you look closely, researchers and explorers actually look quite similar.
The people in Team 33 all have their own selves on Pangu, so the possibility of encountering them while playing the same game is not small. It seems that the military has made some adjustments.
Although they are quite similar, when they stand together they look like each other at most, and they don't give people the feeling of twins. If they are not together, they can probably pretend to be each other occasionally.
bbq didn’t ask or even say hello. This shows that he not only knew about the second character, but also knew that it was possible for the second character to appear so early.
Xiao Ming doesn't know when normal players can activate the second character. Huh, it's probably those second generations again.
It’s no wonder that Datang bbq was more polite than last time. I thought he was taking advantage of him and I was embarrassed. He had no moral integrity. How could he be like me?
With his pockets bulging, Xiao Ming felt more confident. He had a nice walk around the village.
First go to the tailor shop to meet Liu Xiaomei, and use fine deerskin and 2 gold coins for crafting fee to commission Liu Xiaomei to make a blue high-end marching tent for the researcher, which can store troops 3 times the hiring value.
Because the main material has been strengthened, the finished product cannot be strengthened anymore. Use fine bearskin and 1 gold coin to make a green intermediate backpack with 50 spaces.
Why strengthen the materials first and then make them? This saves mental energy, and Liu Xiaomei’s favorability is increased by 10.
The other leathers are left in the backpack space. The pieces of leather given by Datang bbq are either of low quality or ordinary. Let's put them aside for now. After all, I don't have much mental energy anymore.
Next, we walked around the inn, Aunt Han’s house, Qiu’s house, etc. to increase my favorability.
While at the inn, I stopped by the room on the second floor to sort out my backpack, get another crossbow for the researcher, and settle the rent.
Finally, I went to the training ground and found a good mission.
"Escort Supplies" Purple Team Mission:
Shopkeeper Huo, a timber merchant in Wushan Town, purchased a batch of good goods in Baiyang Village and prepared to transport them back to Wushan Town overnight.
The escort strength may be insufficient. Please help escort. At least 10 level 1 professional players are required to carry out this task. At this time, there is exactly one person left.
It was only the first day of the game. Although Baiyang Village had more than these 10 level 1 players, a few of them were unwilling to wait and went directly to the town.
Speaking of the name of Baiyang Village and Wushan Town, it was not the first time that Xiao Ming had seen it, but this was the first time that he remembered it. He had never paid attention to it before.
Xiao Ming switched to the researcher and took over the task, and Shopkeeper Huo's convoy set off immediately.
The entire convoy consisted of more than twenty large two-horse flat-bed carriages, which were filled with various types of wood. Each carriage was equipped with two air-dead wind lanterns.
More than thirty caravan guards were scattered in the convoy carrying weapons. Most of them were level 0 and level 1 professionals. Among them, only the captain and deputy captain were level 2.
It seems that there is a swordsman and a mage. Plus there are two level 0 drivers on each vehicle. There are nearly a hundred NPCs in the team, which is not weak.
There are also two two-horse carriages with carriages in the middle of the convoy, which look a little more high-end and classy.
In the car were some small goods and a few escorts and servants. Both the captain, deputy captain and shopkeeper Huo were on foot and did not get on the car.
There were also a few horses in the convoy that were not pulling the carriage, probably the mounts of important people. They were all equipped with stirrups and saddles, and their furs were brushed cleanly.
I even ate some snacks from the owner next to me when I had nothing to do. It seems that people are not as good as dogs in games.
Each of the 10 players brought their own mercenaries, scattered in twos and threes throughout the convoy. Researchers, Explorers, Han Dong and 6 mercenaries were in the middle of the team, mainly to protect small cargo.
There are two infantry players who have the same idea as him: Qin Qiong of the Tang Dynasty and Guan Yu of the Tang Dynasty. These two names are full of flaws at first glance, and they make people feel too lazy to complain.
These two were obviously players from the Tang Guild, and they seemed to want to come over to communicate with Xiao Ming. But at this time, the researcher under Xiao Ming's control was chatting with an NPC.
If it were another player, they would definitely come over and listen to a few words. If there was a mission, they would do their part.
But these two people wanted to be friends with Xiao Ming, so they avoided suspicion and did not come over. Xiao Ming also secretly added 5 points of favorability to them.
This NPC named Mr. Guo was discovered by Xiao Ming because his combat professional level was not displayed.
It means that he either does not have a combat profession, or his combat profession is higher than the researcher level 3.
If it was level 4, it would be the first level 4 professional that Xiao Ming had seen. I wonder how Xiao Ming could get close without using condoms.
The researcher did not dare to ask directly, and Mr. Guo did not tell the truth. He just chatted with him and occasionally looked around.
The fourth-level NPC is extraordinary. He can chat with players with ease, almost making Xiao Ming faint with his talk.
Looking at this old man who is dressed in simple brown linen clothes, has a kind and weathered appearance, and has a slightly smoky voice.
Xiao Ming secretly gave him a thumbs up, the high-level np is really awesome.
Chapter completed!
