Chapter 58 The First Victim
The first day of entering Taoyuan Village was very lively. A group of players mixed up this peaceful and peaceful hidden village. Everyone understood that this was a map set by the arena. In this world, all people or lives are just virtual NPCs.
It would be fine to keep this arrogant attitude in your heart, but if you put it on your face, you can just drink and drink at these so-called NPCs, or even use force to beat and scold them with a little dissatisfaction, which would be a big problem.
Walking on the gravel-paved village path, Xiao Yi shook his head slightly while watching the various aspects of the players. Just now, he witnessed a player who beat and scolded the villagers who provided the task because he was unhappy with his score. He was collectively driven away by the villagers and prohibited him from entering again.
The player had no honor points to eliminate his negative points, but now he was completely banned from entering Taoyuan Village, so he naturally could not continue to do the follow-up mission, which undoubtedly cut off his way of life. He was so angry that he took out his weapon and prepared to start a massacre.
Unfortunately, when he rushed into the entrance of the village with a machete with murderous aura, four or five sword-holding men emerged from somewhere, claiming to be the Taoyuan Guards, he poked more than ten sword holes on this unlucky player in a few moments.
The whole farce lasted less than ten minutes and ended with the death of the player. The blood at the entrance of the village had not dried up yet. Some of the veterans seemed to have gotten used to it. In addition to muttering a few words such as "Every time there is such a lifeless idiot", everyone continued to do their own things.
But for those who participated in the opportunity competition for the first time, the bright red blood and cold corpses were extremely dazzling. It was not that they pity this unlucky guy. Everyone was not close to their relatives or death or life. What shocked them were the people from the Taoyuan Guards. The cold light flashed on the sword edge when they killed the player was clearly a sign of the sword energy!
Not to mention all players, at least for most people, killing them in seconds is only a matter of minutes.
Xiao Yize seemed to understand something and murmured to himself a few times: "Does NPC also have hidden favorability settings?"
The first dead player made people gradually quiet down, and went around looking for missions honestly, and no longer dared to challenge those Taoyuan Guards.
The day ended in a hurry, and Xiao Yi, who had been in the village for several laps, returned in vain. The difference between a newcomer and a veteran was once again reflected. Even those veterans who had only experienced one or two chance matches had a certain demand for rewards for these lowest-level tasks, and they often found tasks more easily than novices.
For example, a pawn shop posted a notice to recruit people. To put it bluntly, it is a form of posting tasks. Players naturally flocked to it. The content of the task is actually very simple. It just helps the shopkeeper calculate the accounts, the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, and has a reward of 50 honor points.
Xiao Yi was slowing down and failed to get the task, but when he was about to leave, he saw a girl in a mage robe whispering with the shopkeeper. A few minutes later, the girl showed a smug smile and sat straight in the pawn shop, which caused many people to maliciously speculate whether the girl was using the form of meat to exchange for the task reward and honor points.
Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't be so bored. He went over to ask curiously. The girl was happy and smiled without hiding it, "I just told the shopkeeper that the pawn items are true and false, and their value is different. In addition to accounting, he also needs a skilled appraiser to help. He agreed, and then I received a prompt from the arena system for the establishment of the task."
Xiao Yi said helplessly: "Are you a antique collector? This work cannot be done by anyone? Aren't you afraid that if the appraisal is wrong, the system will be counted as a task failure and deduct the honor points?"
"Hi!" The girl chuckled, raised the staff in her hand, and said with a little arrogant attitude: "I think you are also a spell user, so I have told you so much. Don't you know that in the auxiliary spells, there are many similar spells, such as secondary appraisal, Eye of the Real, Light of the Wizard, etc. I am not a clever antique collector, but I am a qualified mage!"
Xiao Yi was speechless for a while. When it comes to using spells, the spells he could cast were definitely far more than the girl in front of him, but unfortunately he didn't think of this, but this incident also gave him a lot of tips on how to dig a task.
After a brief greeting, Xiao Yi was about to leave. The shopkeeper didn't seem to need a second appraiser at all. When he walked to the door, he asked casually: "By the way, how much reward does this appraiser have for his mission."
"The time limit is one month. During this month, I have to work in the pawn shop every day like I do when I go to work. The salary is 500 honor points."
The girl's words made Xiao Yi slip under his feet who had reached the door and almost fell down. Looking at the proud girl, he understood what regrets meant to make his intestines turn blue.
A simple and easy job, although it takes half of the entire opportunity race time, can easily earn the registration fee back. With the remaining one month, no matter how many tasks the girl completes, she will make sure to make a profit in this opportunity race.
Envy, jealousy and hatred are useless. When night fell, Xiao Yi, who had found a hotel to live in, began to think carefully about how he should look for a task.
There are many hotels in Taoyuan Village, but they naturally cannot use them by the villagers. It is probably the setting made by the arena system for players. Speaking of which, there are also many recruitment notices in the hotel, but most players are obviously not interested in this kind of work of serving tea and water. Moreover, the honor points reward is only 10 o'clock every day. In the end, the group of players who have already had negative points during the day accepted this task.
The total progress of world tasks has only reached 1%, which is already very slow, because as time goes by, the smaller the total number of tasks will be, and the greater the difficulty of a single task.
Xiao Yi visited the entire Taoyuan Village during the day, which was considered to have a basic understanding of this hidden village. The villagers here were very kind, and unless someone provoked them, they were happy to help the players, their lives were rich and peaceful.
But the name of the map is Taoyuan Crisis, and the prompt clearly stated that monsters will invade. However, after this day, Xiao Yi also inquired with the villagers indirectly. Not to mention monsters invading, even beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards are extremely rare in this place.
In the orange light of the candle, Xiao Yi leaned on the wooden bed, frowned, and while analyzing, he muttered to himself: "The arena cannot deceive us in such a thing. In other words, as the core of the main line of this world, the invasion of monsters requires preconditions to open. Is it the total progress of the task?"
Xiao Yi grabbed his hair with some annoyance. The tips given in the arena were pitifully few, such as how much task progress is required to start the main task of the world, or what pre-tasks or necessary conditions are required, there are no prompts, they all rely on themselves to explore.
In fact, he also thought of one thing: as long as he was not so idiot that he deliberately angered the Taoyuan Guards, it was absolutely safe in Taoyuan Village so far. If he didn't care about the registration fee of 500 honor points, he could even use the mood of vacation to slowly enjoy the customs and customs of the paradise in the past two months, without having to worry about sneak attacks from the enemy like in the regular season.
