Chapter 192 Dongfang Sheng and Ye Luo
Chapter 192 Dongfang Sheng and Ye Luo
After counting the gains from this encounter, Xiao Jie looked at the three men again. At this moment, the three men were standing in front of the two corpses, motionless, with an inexplicable solemnity.
It seemed like he was observing a moment of silence, but of course it was also possible that he was talking on the phone to the two deceased persons.
Xiao Jie suddenly felt a little emotional. It is true that people's joys and sorrows are different from each other. Those three people are now sighing about surviving the disaster, while the two unlucky guys who died are probably crying out to the sky.
However, he felt nothing at all about the player who died in front of him, and was even quite happy because two good items had just dropped.
Is it because I have seen too many deaths that I have become cold-blooded? Or am I not born to be sentimental?
His thoughts were a little scattered. Although he didn't know the two dead guys, he still had to have the most basic respect for the dead. He waited silently for a few minutes, and the three people over there finally said goodbye to their friends.
Moved towards Xiao Jie.
Weird Fox: "Big brother, thank you for saving us just now."
Monsoon Hidden: "Yes, if it weren't for you, we would have died here."
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Xiao Jie said calmly.
Mu Qingliu said timidly, "Excuse me, can you take us to a nearby town? We can pay."
"No problem, come with me, forget about the money, I'm just on my way anyway."
Xiao Jie summoned his warhorse and headed towards Luoyang Town. The three of them hurriedly followed.
"Are you newcomers?" Xiao Jie asked as he rode slowly forward on his horse.
He was able to infer some information based on the performance of the three people. If they dared to run so far away from the town without a horse, they must be either newcomers or they were mentally ill.
The strange-faced fox said: "Yes, we just came out of the Novice Village."
What surprised Xiao Jie was that these three, two of whom were level 15 and one of whom was level 14, had just left the Novice Village... But okay, under normal circumstances, this was probably the normal phenomenon.
After all, it will be safer when you level up one more level. The danger level in the novice village is relatively low, so it is a normal choice to level up a few more levels before leaving the village.
"You've only come out now after reaching the Novice Village?"
"Yeah, big brother, how come you are so powerful? What level did you leave the village at?"
"Level 10. The level in this game is not very meaningful. The most important things are skills, equipment, and of course operation. So you don't know where the town is?" Xiao Jie reacted after he said that when he and I wanted to become immortals, we had a map given by the village chief, so we could clearly find the location of the town. For ordinary players, the unexplored map is completely a fog, so we have to explore the way slowly.
No wonder the mortality rate of this game is so high. Ordinary newcomers have no maps and no mounts. Just walking from the novice village to the town is full of dangers.
If you encounter any wild monsters, your life will be in danger. When Yu Chengxian and I were traveling from Ginkgo Village to Luoyang Town, we were terrified and almost got blocked by bandits on the way. We were rescued by a team of cavalry from the Longxiang Knights.
Thinking of the Long Xiang Knights, Xiao Jie's heart suddenly moved. Wait a minute, isn't he also a knight of the Long Xiang Knights now? It's just the right time to save these three people. It really feels like the cycle of fate.
Weird Fox, "Brother, how much did you pay for this horse? It's so handsome."
Of course the most important thing is not only being handsome, but also running fast. If those people had horses, no one would have died.
Xiao Jie guessed the other party's intention in an instant, "If you want to buy it, you can go to the horse market in the city. My horse is a war horse, which costs one hundred taels of silver. A poor horse is cheaper, and you can buy it for thirty or forty taels."
"What, it's so expensive!?"
The three were a little surprised. They saved pennies at a time in the Novice Village, and each of them only had a dozen taels saved, which was just enough to buy a horse. This was obviously meaningless.
"What about learning martial arts? Will it be expensive? For example, how much does it cost to learn that ultimate move that killed the boss in one second?"
Xiao Jie laughed in his heart, thinking that you have to wait, "The ultimate move cannot be learned, it needs enlightenment from martial arts. The prerequisite martial arts for the ultimate move I just used is a reward skill given by the task, which cannot be learned. However, the prerequisite martial arts for the first ultimate move I used to clear the small monsters before can be learned by paying money. It is not expensive, only twenty taels of silver."
what!
The three of them became even less confident now, as they couldn't even afford to learn the preliminary martial arts skills.
Ji Feng Zhiyin was still unwilling to give up, "What about the inner strength?"
"The basic model is 20 to 30 taels, and there is no upper limit for the better ones."
Three people...
It seems like this little money is not enough for them to do anything.
Xiao Jie gave a suggestion, "If you really want to develop quickly, then spend money. Haven't you ever spent money?"
The three were surprised, "This game has a mall?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself, it seems that there is no permanent gold farmer like Wang Kai in Shangyin Village.
But think about it, it is hard to imagine a weirdo like Wang Kai under normal circumstances.
From this point of view, he was lucky to be born in Ginkgo Village. Wang Kai provided him with a lot of intelligence information in the early stage, and he could also make some money.
It is estimated that there are no experienced players in the village. These people are pure newbies. They are useless except for having a higher level and know nothing.
But the torch of the girl just now was quite magical. It could even drive away wild beasts.
He already had the idea of building a team in his mind. In the future, if he wanted to level up, fight monsters, go to dungeons and fight bosses, it would definitely not be enough to rely on himself. Even if he had peerless swordsmanship, it would be useless. He could only protect himself but the damage was too low.
A set of Illusionary Bubble can only deal 500 to 600 damage at most, while the BOSS has at least several thousand health, so one set of it can only put an end to it.
You can fight elite monsters alone, but you still need the cooperation of teammates to take down the real BOSS.
It would be very difficult for him to set up his own guild and gather a team. After all, the money in this game is too valuable. If he sets up his own guild, he can't even afford to provide benefits to new players.
Who would work with you if there is no benefit?
But if you want to use a chicken to lay eggs, using the big tree of the Dragon Knights to build a small hill for yourself is a good choice.
“To be honest, it will be difficult for you three to survive in the town in your current situation. The monsters around the town are much more difficult to fight than those in the Novice Village.
If you're a little further away, there will be all kinds of monsters that can wipe you out. The wolf captain just now was just an ordinary elite monster, not even a BOSS."
Xiao Jie made the three of them very nervous with just a few words.
Monsoon Hidden asked nervously, "Ah, what should we do then, brother?"
"My personal suggestion is that if any of you are rich, you can consider spending money. I know a merchant who sells gold in Luoyang Town. You can use RMB to buy game coins. 10 yuan can be exchanged for one penny. If you spend a few million and get a few hundred taels of silver, you can learn martial arts and buy a good horse before going out on adventures. It will be much safer."
The three of them remained silent after hearing this. It was obvious that several million was a huge sum of money for them.
"Of course, there is another way, that is to find a guild to join. This way, at least you have someone to rely on, and you can go out with the guild to fight monsters, level up, open maps, etc. By the way, our Dragon Knights have good treatment, and new members will get free horses. If you are interested, you can consider it."
"Really? So good? And even give away a horse!" Ji Feng Zhi Yin became excited when he heard it.
"Haha, our president is a man of great integrity. In order to reduce the casualties of new members, he gives a horse to new members, so that leveling up in the early stages is much safer.
Our guild also provides interest-free loans. If you want to join, I can help you with the membership procedures. I am a guest official, so I have the authority to recruit people."
Monsoon Hidden said excitedly: "That's great."
The Ghostly Fox said anxiously, "Let's wait and see, okay?"
It's obvious at first glance that he has some social experience - but probably not too much.
"Whatever." Xiao Jie did not persuade him any more, as he was just placing the chess pieces casually. More than an hour later, the group finally saw the city wall of Luoyang Town.
Xiao Jie said, "We're here. Luoyang Town is ahead. You'll be safe once you enter the city."
The three of them felt relieved. Looking at the city wall so close, they even felt sad. There were five of them when they left the Novice Village, but now there are only three left...
But we can worry about the passing of time later, let’s get into the city first. The Ghostly Fox and Monsoon Hidden rushed towards the city gate impatiently.
Only Mu Qingliu thanked him solemnly again, and confirmed that Xiao Jie really did not want any reward, then he thanked him and left.
Xiao Jie also sped up, because the three of them had been delayed for more than an hour, and it was time to go into the city.
Before entering the city and approaching the city wall, Xiao Jie noticed that many players were fighting monsters and leveling up in groups of three or five at the edge of the forest surrounding the town.
This was originally the leveling ground occupied by Tianxiahui. Now that Tianxiahui has disappeared, these individual players can finally level up in peace.
Looking at those people fighting monsters enthusiastically, Xiao Jie felt a sense of accomplishment.
Destroying the Tianxiahui by myself can be considered as getting rid of harm to the people.
Accelerating again, Xiao Jie instantly overtook three people and entered the city gate.
After not seeing Luoyang Town for many days, it is still the same as before, with a hint of bustling atmosphere amidst the depression.
The bustle came from the players who were setting up stalls on both sides of the street. When they saw Xiao Jie coming on horseback, they all greeted him.
"Damn, it's Brother Feng!"
"Brother Feng is back!"
"Hey Brother Feng, hello, welcome back to your loyal Luoyang Town."
"Brother Feng is so handsome in this outfit!"
Xiao Jie was somewhat stunned. What was going on? When did he become so famous? Was it because he had killed Xiong Ba? Yes, most likely the players here knew about the duel.
However, Xiao Jie did not expect that the news would reach him so quickly.
Suddenly I saw an acquaintance, it was Jin Fugui.
Jin Fugui greeted him enthusiastically: "Hey, it's Brother Feng, do you want to buy a talisman? I'll give you a 20% discount."
"I wonder why everyone is so enthusiastic today?" Xiao Jie asked in a puzzled manner.
"Of course it's because of your heroic feat of single-handedly challenging the Tianxia Association. Someone uploaded the video of the duel to the forum. I have to say, Brother Suifeng is a very capable person. A level 15 player single-handedly defeated a level 29 player. If there wasn't a video to prove it, no one would dare to believe it."
"Forum? This game has a forum?"
“That’s right. Although this game is not very popular and there are not many players, there are still forums. They are just private forums and they are not small in scale.
However, such a feat as that done by Brother Feng is bound to cause some sensation.
Then the news spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred people, and then you know why Brother Suifeng returned to Luoyang Town? Is he planning to come back to practice leveling permanently?"
"That's right. I'll need your help if there's anything I need in the future."
The auction house is convenient, but the handling fee is a bit painful.
"Haha, no problem, Feng, you can just tell me what you want to buy, and I'll do my best to get it for you."
The two were chatting when they suddenly heard excited shouts from behind them.
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng! It's me, I'm Dongfang Sheng!"
Ok?
Xiao Jie turned around in surprise and saw Dongfang Sheng greeting him excitedly, with two friends following behind him.
Dongfang Sheng (Returnee): Level 9. HP: 240.
Xiao Jie was really surprised this time. Although their relationship was only okay, after going through the hardships of this period of time, it was still quite happy to suddenly see an old acquaintance.
"Hey, Dongfang Sheng, you finally left the Novice Village. How was your journey here? Did you encounter any danger?"
Dongfang Sheng is only level nine, which is lower than the level he had when he left the village. With two level nine teammates, it must be said that he has quite some courage to run to Luoyang Town.
"Luckily, we came here with the caravan, so there's not much danger. Actually, we originally planned to reach level 13 or 14 before leaving the village. I came here early mainly to brush up on the military profession. I've already learned riding skills, and now all I have to do is brush up on Fengyinzhou's reputation. But with the letter of recommendation from the village chief, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Xiao Jie nodded. The military general profession is still very powerful as a basic profession. This can be easily seen from the fact that Long Xing Tian Xia has taken the military general route.
The general is good at fighting on horseback, which is relatively safe. He can also recruit a guard to fight with him, which is similar to a beast tamer.
"By the way, are you interested in joining a guild? I'm in the Dragon Knights right now. If you join a guild, I can ask someone in the guild to help you improve your reputation. I happen to have a guest position and can recruit people."
Dongfang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Brother Feng."
He originally had great ambitions, and he took in two newcomers as his subordinates in the Novice Village, intending to do something after coming to the town. However, he soon discovered that the ecological environment of this game was more difficult than he had imagined. The game difficulty was too high, resulting in too narrow development space for newcomers. Coupled with the game penalty of death, the three of them did not dare to leave the town to fight monsters and explore, let alone development.
Now that he has let it go, he might as well stick to his superiors.
He had learned a little about the Soaring Dragon Knights when he came to Luoyang Town. He knew that it was indeed a very powerful guild, and that the Soaring Dragon Knights liked to train military commanders. He would definitely have a future if he joined them.
Xiao Jie directly used his authority to send membership invitations to the three people.
In addition to Dongfang Sheng, the remaining two people, one is Mao Mao Jiang and the other is Shuiyue Shanna. Like Dongfang Sheng, they are only level 9 and seem to be in a suppressed level state.
"What profession are you planning to pursue?"
"I want to be a military commander, Suigetsu Setsuna will go the swordsman route, and Neko-chan will be a beast tamer."
Xiao Jie thought it was a good idea. Although these three professions were not magic, they were still pretty good among the basic professions. At least they were much better than gunners, swordsmen, axemen, etc.
Of course, the prerequisites are more complicated, no wonder the three of them came over to do it.
"By the way, there are benefits for new members. I'll have someone send them to you later."
Now the three of them were even happier.
"Wellwellwell, look what day it is today. So many old friends are gathered here. It's really my lucky day."
A slightly teasing voice suddenly came from above his head. When Xiao Jie looked up, he saw a female knight in black standing at the window on the second floor of the inn, waving to the people below.
Night falls!
Xiao Jie was really surprised this time.
He hurriedly took the three of them to the second floor of the inn. After more than half a month, Ye Luo had already reached level 15, with a zombie follower following him. It seemed that he had already learned the basics of ghost curse.
Although it is one level lower than him, for ordinary players, this upgrade speed is not slow.
