Chapter 110 Call it a day
Chapter 110 Call it a day
Just as the four of them had divided their equipment, Village Chief Huang and a group of villagers surrounded them.
The people in front of him should be all the survivors of Ginkgo Village. Most of the old, weak, women and children are still there, but most of the young and strong have been lost. Several familiar faces have disappeared, including the armless woodcutter Wang Daniu, Tian Bao, the descendant of the Tian family, and the militiamen who went with him to fight the tree monster...
Fortunately, several important NPCs are still there.
Village Chief Huang said to the four men with gratitude: "Four brave men, today our Ginkgo Village can survive this catastrophe entirely thanks to you. I have nothing to repay you, please accept my greetings."
Xiao Jie quickly dodged.
"No, no, no, please don't do this. As a returnee, I have been taken care of by you and all the villagers these days. It is my honor to contribute to Ginkgo Village."
I want to become an immortal and said, "Yes, old man, we are also part of Ginkgo Village. Isn't it right that we should share the joys and sorrows together?"
Dongfang Sheng interrupted at this time and said, "You are right. Please don't take it to heart. Why are you thanking us? Are we risking our lives just to get a thank you from you? You are too polite. As long as you have this kind of heart, it is better than anything else."
He has been hanging around bars for many years and does understand the art of language. Just thanking him is useless, you have to give him a reward.
But you can't ask for this kind of thing directly. It would hurt your face if you really asked for it. You can only give a hint.
How to express this kindness depends on the specific arrangements.
I don't know if Village Chief Huang really understood it. He shook his head and sighed, "Although you don't ask for anything in return, our Ginkgo Village is not a place that is ungrateful. There are still many aftermath matters that need to be dealt with today. Please come to my house tomorrow. I will reward you handsomely then."
A system prompt suddenly appeared on Xiao Jie's screen.
[System prompt: You have successfully completed the plot event [Monsters Attack the Village: Tide of Corpses], and based on your performance in this plot event, you have gained 1389 reputation points, and your reputation in Ginkgo Village has reached worship.]
[System prompt: Because your reputation in Ginkgo Village has reached worship, the governor of Fengyin Province has heard of your name. Your reputation in Fengyin Province has increased by 500 points and is now 500/1000 friendly.]
Is this what reputation means?
Xiao Jie couldn't help but be stunned, but when he thought about it, the Novice Village was a small place after all. It only took 500 to go from respect to reverence, and 1000 to go from reverence to worship, which was understandable.
Moreover, the reputation of such a small force is unlikely to be of much use. Relatively speaking, it is really troublesome to build up the reputation of the provincial government.
He asked three people, but the results were different.
The three of them only obtained a few hundred points of reputation, and currently they are all just respected.
Why is this?
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel puzzled. His contribution value in these two BOSS battles was not the highest, and his efficiency in clearing small monsters in the early stage was not much different from that of others.
Could it be because I contributed to that plan? The system can even take this into account?
Xiao Jie couldn't help but find it a little unbelievable. Normally, in general games, one can only calculate specific data when choosing an MVP, such as how much damage was caused, how much control effect was exerted, or how much damage was sustained.
Although my own plan is very important, it is more like something at the command level and cannot be quantified at all.
But apart from this explanation, there seems to be no more reasonable possibility.
I can only say that the system mechanism of this game is really a bit magical.
"Okay, okay, we will definitely visit you tomorrow."
After deciding to collect the reward tomorrow morning, the villagers got busy on their own.
Although the two bosses had been eliminated, there were still some scattered zombies in the village. However, without the control of the corpse-driving sorcerer, they were no longer a threat. Tie Qianli and Yang Baichuan led the surviving militiamen to eliminate them one by one.
Zhou Tong also started to put out the fire and repair the house with several craftsmen.
The four of them watched the NPCs busying themselves, but they had nothing to do for a moment, so they went along the main street of the village to help clean up the remaining zombies.
Without a controller, it is not easy to chop down these zombies, especially when the four of them have BUFFs on them.
They killed their way to the village square. The village was now in a mess, and most of the corpses of the monsters had been refreshed.
Dongfang Sheng suddenly cried out.
"It's over. We haven't picked up the bodies of those monsters yet!"
Xiao Jie also reacted. They had been busy fighting monsters before, and many small monsters were killed by the four of them, especially those corpse-driving people. They might have dropped some good things, but they had no chance to pick them up. Now they have almost all refreshed.
Although it is a bit regrettable, it is of no use. Fortunately, the biggest gain has been achieved.
"Woof woof woof!" Amidst a burst of dog barking, Meatball came out from somewhere.
"Hey, Meatball-you is not dead?"
Xiao Jie was a little surprised and speechless. I didn't know where this bastard had hidden before. I almost died, and you, my pet, actually ran away by yourself.
The meatball walked around Xiao Jie with a look of grievance on its face, and when it opened its mouth, it spat out a ring.
[Bone Jade Ring (Accessory/Excellent)
Equipment: Spirit +2.
Item Description: A ring made of human bones, which becomes smooth like jade due to long-term wearing, and can improve the wearer's attributes. 】Xiao Jie was amused. This guy can actually pick up things? Well, you can't say you are useless.
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time." He threw a meat bun to it.
"Woof woof woof, thank you master." Meatball immediately put on a flattering expression.
As the monsters were cleared away, several craftsmen, led by Zhou Tong, repaired the village gate, and Ginkgo Village was finally completely safe.
The four of them had nothing to do for a while as they watched the villagers repair the buildings destroyed by the battle and put out the fire in the village.
"Brother Feng, what shall we do next? Shall we go to the ancient tomb and take a look?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself that you are really energetic. "No, I have to log off first. I am a little dazed after this battle. I just want to have a good rest now."
Ye Luo also said: "Now that you mention it, I am also tired. Then let's see you tomorrow?"
"See you tomorrow."
"By the way, don't forget to send a message to Wang Kai."
Xiao Jie said goodbye to the three people and ran to the tavern to log off.
After exiting the game and looking at the screen returning to the computer desktop, Xiao Jie breathed a long sigh of relief.
The battle is finally over. This battle was really thrilling. I looked at the time and it was only half past two. That is to say, this monster siege lasted only more than two hours including the aftermath.
But looking at the computer screen at this moment, Xiao Jie felt as if he was in another world.
I lay on the computer chair for a long time and didn't want to move. This gaming experience of walking on the edge of life and death and fighting a desperate battle with the BOSS is really exhausting.
Before that, I was tense every minute and every second. Even after defeating the BOSS, I subconsciously didn't dare to relax at all.
Only when you truly quit the game and return to reality can you completely relax.
After a long time, Xiao Jie stood up from the chair, took out the apple sparkling wine he had prepared earlier from the refrigerator, and poured himself a full glass. The golden wine looked extremely tempting. Xiao Jie drank it all in one gulp. The cold and sweet wine refreshed him.
He poured himself another glass, held the glass and walked to the window, looking at the peaceful scenery on the street outside, recalling the fierce battle that had just happened, and suddenly he felt an inexplicable emotion, as if he had really just returned to a peaceful world from a war-torn area.
The old world full of monsters seemed particularly real at this moment.
A peaceful real world is better.
Xiao Jie smiled self-deprecatingly, decided not to be sad, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Wang Kai.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Wang Kai, the monsters have finished attacking the village and we have successfully defended it.
Wang Kai: Haha, congratulations.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Oh, by the way, when you go online tomorrow your master might ask you why you are not dead. I’m just reminding you so that you can be mentally prepared.
Wang Kai: Ah!? Why does he think I'm dead?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: He asked me before if I had seen you, and I said you seemed to have been killed.
Wang Kai: Ah, why do you say that?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I can't just say that you went offline. I feel like being killed at least sounds more tragic. It's okay. Just wait for you to come online tomorrow and explain.
Wang Kai: Damn...
Xiao Jie laughed, turned off his phone, and started to sip the wine in the glass again.
Although it was a big risk, today's harvest was quite great. The items dropped by the two bosses were quite powerful.
Especially the Shura Ghost Mask, which comes with dual skills and is definitely the best of the best, especially the fear effect of the "Terrible Face". After playing the game for so many years, Xiao Jie can feel that if this skill is used well, it will definitely be a magical skill during PK.
3 seconds of hard control is enough for you to perform a smooth combo. As long as the damage is high enough, you may be able to kill players of the same level in seconds.
However, the art of corpse speaking requires 18 points of comprehension to learn, and I only have 15 points now. It seems that I have to find a way to improve my comprehension later.
I am already level nine now. As long as I reach level 10, I can obtain the core skills of the profession and be strengthened again.
And then I can go to the provincial capital to learn internal and external skills to further enhance myself.
This level 10 trumpet of mine is definitely of the top configuration, and I won't feel any pressure when I encounter enemies that are three or five levels higher than me in the future.
I feel excited just thinking about it.
