Chapter 50 The lightning rush
Chapter 50 The lightning rush
Everyone has their own aspirations, and Xiao Jie did not try to persuade them any further. The two of them went to the tavern and prepared to log off.
Before logging off, Xiao Jie took stock of what he had gained from leveling up today.
I harvested four pieces of junk and blank equipment and equipped them all.
355 copper coins.
A cellar key.
There are 12 pieces of venison, mutton and rabbit meat in total.
Deerskin, antlers, and sheepskin, 6 in total.
Consumes six steamed buns, one blood bottle, one strength pill, 17 rough feather arrows, and repair cost 135 coins.
In general, the income is still good, much higher than chopping wood and herding sheep. The key is that it can be upgraded, which is the most important thing.
Today was just a trial run, as I only upgraded one level due to time constraints. Tomorrow will be different. Xiao Jie has a feeling that there must be good things in the Tian family's old house. As long as he can open it, it will definitely take off.
He had originally planned to come back to feed the dog, but by then it was already getting dark and it would soon be unsafe outside, so he could only say goodbye to Yu Chengxian and I and we went offline.
The sky finally darkened completely, and starless darkness enveloped the quiet little mountain village.
The villagers hid in their own houses one by one, closed the doors and windows, and extinguished the candles.
Even the militiamen on night duty hid in the barracks.
Only the night watchman in black holding an oil lamp appeared on the village streets, wandering like a ghost in the dark, knocking on the gong.
In this silent and ominous darkness, a figure suddenly appeared in the tavern out of nowhere.
Ye Luo looked at the darkness around her, feeling both excited and nervous. She took a deep breath and walked out of the tavern. It was time to start leveling up.
Holding the ebony sword in his hand, Ye Luo walked into the darkness.

Xiao Jie quit the game and looked at the computer desktop with a sigh of relief.
But it’s not over yet.
Although the game is over, the review has just begun.
It's time to organize the game information collected during this period.
He first took out the prepared map papers, one of which was already mostly drawn. On it, one could see the architectural layout of Ginkgo Village. He had drawn this when he was looking for a job in the village. The layout of the entire Ginkgo Village was almost visible at a glance, and various important NPCs were also marked on it.
After hanging the map of the village on the wall, Xiao Jie took out a new piece of map paper and started drawing.
This time he drew a rough map of Ginkgo Valley.
Since only a small part has been explored so far, the map is not very complete, but in time, a complete topographic map will surely be available.
With a map, you can plan more intuitively when laying out, which is also the habit of being a professional player.
Xiao Jie drew the approximate terrain on the blueprint with just a few strokes.
On the western hillside, Xiao Jie marked the spawning locations of several lone bandits, as well as the place that was suspected to be the bandit camp.
In the middle of the map, he drew the path leading out of the valley, as well as the location where the corpse driver passed by. After hesitating for a moment, he drew a skull symbol there, which represented danger. After thinking about it, he also drew a skull at the bandit camp.
Next was the Tian family's old house in the east and the surrounding farmland. This area felt relatively safe. Xiao Jie drew a question mark on the Tian family's old house.
How to enter the Tian family’s old house is a mystery that needs to be solved urgently.
Unfortunately, there is no official guide or player forum for this game, so you can only study it by yourself. However, based on Xiao Jie's more than ten years of gaming experience, any puzzle in the game will always leave clues, giving players a chance to solve it.
Although this game is extremely magical, the design of its content clearly still maintains the architectural ideas of the game world, so Xiao Jie does not think that this puzzle is unsolvable.
By the way, there should be someone in Ginkgo Village who knows the story of the Tian family. By the way, I seem to have met an NPC named Tian when I was looking for a job. I can go ask him tomorrow.
After finishing the game planning, Xiao Jie started to make dinner for himself. Since he couldn't go online at night, he had plenty of time.
After a big meal, Xiao Jie walked out of the community again after dinner.
He was going to go for a night run in the park, and feel the physical changes brought about by the increase in attributes. On the way to the park, he felt that the changes were not very big, but he felt that his steps became much lighter. When he arrived at the park and ran along the winding mountain road, he immediately felt the very intuitive changes.
His body became unusually light, and his speed increased significantly. He was originally a very fast runner, but his endurance was a little poor. He was OK in short-distance running, but not in long-distance running.
This time the feeling was extremely obvious. While running at full speed, Xiao Jie felt the scenery on both sides passing quickly behind him, and his whole body was as fast as the wind.
However, after running with all his strength, his physical strength was depleted even more seriously. After running for only a dozen seconds, his lungs felt like they were about to explode.
He staggered, slowed down, and slowly came to a stop while jogging. Xiao Jie thought it was really exciting. He estimated that his speed could reach about 11 seconds for a hundred meters, which was almost catching up with the level of ordinary athletes.
This is just an agility of 15. If you raise the agility to 20, 30, or even 40, you will become the Flash.
Even Bolt is no problem at all.
By the way, are gamers allowed to participate in sports games?
It's just that his endurance is still too poor. Xiao Jie gasped for breath and thought that if he had more attribute points, he would have to add some endurance and strength.
Based on the changes brought about by the two additions of attribute points and his own understanding, Xiao Jie speculated that the increase in physical fitness should improve his overall physical quality, including blood circulation, immune system, speed of wound healing, resistance to disease, etc.
The increase in strength should be muscle strength and muscle explosiveness. If the strength point is higher, it is estimated that the muscles in your body will become much more developed.
Endurance? Probably muscle fatigue resistance and cardiopulmonary function.
Agility probably refers to nerve reaction speed, balance, coordination, jumping ability, etc.
Now that my nerve reaction speed has increased, my muscle fatigue resistance and cardiopulmonary function have not kept up, so naturally I can't last long.
It seems that the extreme bias in the addition of points is not very useful in reality. If we only look at it from a life perspective, the balanced development of the four subjects is the most reasonable.
However, considering the combat in the game, it is inevitable to add points to certain subjects.
Fortunately, ordinary people’s attributes are too poor, and you can surpass ordinary people by simply adding a few points, so there is no need to worry too much.
As Xiao Jie was thinking, his lungs finally returned to normal. He was about to run around the hill and go home, when he suddenly looked up and found a pair of small green eyes staring at him in the dark.
Hey, it was that black cat again. But this time, the black cat looked at him with a look of vigilance, not the disdainful look it had before.
Could it be because he saw me running just now?
Come to think of it, after learning the art of animal language, I have yet to use it in real life.
Why not try it on you?
"Hey little guy, good evening." Xiao Jie said.
The black cat didn't react at all.
No, this is not how the skill is used. He still remembers the description of the Beast Language skill.
[Beast Language (Thaumatology)
Use: Requires concentration.
Skill Description: This skill was created by a half-demon who had awakened his spiritual intelligence. It can be used to communicate with humans or beasts through thoughts, and to condense the information to be conveyed into words. It seems like a conversation, but in fact it is an exchange of minds. 】
Yes, wild animals do not have complex languages like humans, but rather communicate in relatively simple ways through tone, intonation, and smell.
Animal language goes a step further and acts directly on the mind, which is a bit like telepathy. Language is more like a medium, just like a spell when casting a spell.
Xiao Jie closed his eyes and tried hard to find that feeling in his memory.
This was not an easy task, but fortunately I had the experience of flipping over and cutting in half, so I quickly found the feeling.
Xiao Jie suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly into the black cat's eyes, "Hey little guy, good evening."
The black cat's pupils visibly widened.
A serious expression suddenly appeared on its round furry face.
"Meow, you are finally here, are you here to challenge my position as king, big stupid cat? Although you have some strength, I will not give up my power easily."
PS: Thanks to my book friend Wu Shangzhonglin for the reward. I will update more in the future. I still owe three more chapters.
