Chapter 4 Goblin
Directly agreed, in most cases, teaming up to level up is faster than doing it alone!
The rogue scholar asked directly: "Are you also doing the task of collecting wolf skin?"
I nodded: "Collect ten more, and there's still half!"
Rogue Scholar: "This monster is quite formidable, can't afford to buy potions and killing it is exhausting!"
I smiled and said, "If you can get one or two pieces of new equipment with added defense, it won't be difficult!" At this time, he saw that the monster had hit me but only taken away about 10 points of blood, and immediately asked: "Your defense seems to be higher than mine, have you gotten some equipment?"
"Just got a +2 defense shoe from a wild wolf explosion!"
As soon as the words were spoken, that rascal genius sent over a gaze of envy! Now the vast majority of players are wearing the linen clothes given by the system, and I, who possess a pair of +2 defense shoes, am already a legendary master with top-notch equipment. Hmm, I must remain calm, for a master must be unruffled by fame or shame, despite being excited to death inside!
Seeing my calm expression, the thug thought he had met a legendary master and immediately sent me a friend request!
Having one more friend in the game is always good, and when fighting, you might be able to call them over. Moreover, in a team state, you'll get a bit more experience!
Spent over 10 minutes completing the task, and after exchanging greetings with that rascal, I headed to the newbie village. Chatted for about 15 minutes, and my impression of this rascal is still quite good. Although he can't be described as young and promising, at least he's a decent young man. With proper nurturing, he'll definitely become a pillar of the country in the future!
Ran for almost 20 minutes, finally back to Novice Village. NND, doing a quest takes more than an hour, but actually only over 10 minutes are spent on killing monsters, while over 40 minutes are wasted on running around, it's really frustrating!
Find the new villager soldier to hand over the task, and the NPC is excited:
"That's great! With this wolf skin, brothers won't be afraid of the cold in winter. Young warrior, I will reward you!"
"Ding! You have completed the task [Collect Wolf Pelt], reward 1000 experience points, reward 5 silver coins!"
A flash of gold light, and I directly leveled up, my experience bar reaching 25%. Killing ten wild wolves didn't give me much experience, but the quest reward directly gave me a level! However, those five silver coins really surprised me. After killing for half a day, I couldn't even collect 50 copper coins, but this quest suddenly gave me 5 silver coins. It's true that game monsters are all poor, but NPCs are all rich and overflowing with wealth!
I just got 30 copper coins and thought I was rich, now that I think about it, it's really too ridiculous. Just 30 copper coins made me so happy, I'm really a country bumpkin!
But I don't know why this task NPC has been releasing all the time, but only a few people have received it, and most players are still just ordinary people with only a few dozen copper coins!
Now that the backpack has some spare change, it's entirely possible to go buy some potions and challenge higher-level monsters. After all, fighting high-level monsters yields more experience, better drops, and a higher burst rate - that's just how online games are written!
Ran to the pharmacy immediately, Xinshou Village was just that big, and it took only two minutes to run to the pharmacy. The pharmacist's white beard was almost dragging on his belly, and at first glance, he was a high-ranking person with excellent pill-making skills. The medicine sold must be very good! Of course, even the best medicine requires money to buy!
But I was disappointed right away, NND, a pharmacy that looked pretty good only sold two kinds of medicine:
【Newbie Life Potion】: Instantly restores 50 points of HP, cooldown time is 3 seconds!
【Newbie Magic Potion】: Instantly restores 50 points of HP, cooldown time is 3 seconds!
Yes, although the amount of recovery is not much, but because I have a low blood volume, three bottles can fill up my blood in just 9 seconds!
If you encounter danger or a BOSS, your survival depends on it!
At a price of 10 copper coins per bottle, this is still acceptable to me. The task just rewarded me with 5 silver coins and there's nothing to buy in the newbie village anyway. I really don't know what else to do with this money if not buying potions!
I bought over 50 bottles of Life Potion in one breath, this magic potion has nothing to do with me, at least not for now. I took a look at the few copper coins left in my pocket and suddenly felt like I was back before liberation. However, the gain from these 50 bottles of potion will definitely exceed the 5 silver coins spent. With that thought, I stuffed over 50 bottles of potion into my inventory and rushed out of the newbie village to level up!
It's been over an hour since the game started, and the newbie village is still bustling with activity. Every second, a large patch of white light flashes, obviously new players being born! Although my level can't be considered the highest in the newbie village, it's not low either. At a glance, most players are around level 2 or 3, and those above level 4 are rare! After all, there aren't enough rabbits to kill outside the newbie village, with over ten people surrounding one rabbit. The experience from the rabbit is already low, and with so many people competing, it's no wonder leveling up is slow!
You don't have to kill rabbits to kill other monsters, it's just that other monsters aren't as easy-going as rabbits. If they're not happy, they can send you back to the newbie village in an instant!
Of course, someone of my high level and with great equipment would naturally go kill those powerful monsters. I'm a top player who can carry over 50 bottles of potions in my inventory, so it's beneath me to come here and kill this rabbit.
I ran out of the rabbit's area, originally wanting to go kill a wolf, but thinking about it, my level is already as high as its, killing that probably won't give me much experience, and besides, I'm still carrying a pack of potions, I should go challenge higher-level monsters instead!
After running for nearly half an hour, I saw the newbie village in my line of sight. There were no more player footprints around me, and I arrived at a rocky hillside. Suddenly, I saw a little girl named Xiaohong standing under a big tree not far away, looking around hopefully. My heart was slightly thrilled, it seemed like there was another task!
"Little sister, you look like you're in a bit of trouble, do you need my help?"
Xiao Hong's face immediately showed surprise, and she said: "Just now I came out to pick mushrooms, and with great difficulty picked a few mushrooms, but they were snatched away by those detestable goblins. Brother, can you help me get the mushrooms back?"
"Ding! Do you accept the quest [Mushroom Collection]?"
……
What reason is there to refuse such a good thing?!
I immediately clicked accept, and another system ringtone came in:
"Ding! You have accepted the quest [Mushroom Collection]! (Quest difficulty: A1)"
Task content: Help the little girl Xiao Hong to retrieve the mushrooms, the mushrooms should be on those goblins in the forest, kill the goblins and collect 30 mushrooms from their bodies!
Wow, I didn't expect it, this little girl is actually so ruthless, someone just robbed your mushroom and you want me to kill them, and they only robbed a few of your mushrooms, but you want to take back 30, if she grows up, she will definitely be a heartless and cruel female demon!
But whether she becomes a female devil or not in the future has nothing to do with me, as long as she can benefit me!
After finishing the conversation with me, Xiaohong sat comfortably under the big tree, as if she couldn't accept any more tasks.
I felt a slight thrill in my heart, it seems that only I received this task, is it a goblin? Brother, I'm here!
Just as I entered the small woods, a goblin appeared in my line of sight:
Goblin (Novice Village Monster)
Level: 6
Blood Pressure: 180
Attack: 7-15
Defense: 6
……
It's indeed a monster of level 6, its attributes are much stronger than those of the wild wolf of level 4. However, with my current level and attributes, it seems that killing it won't be very difficult!
However, this guy is short and stout, with dark green skin, red eyes, and looks quite ugly! In previous games, goblins were always greedy and despicable creatures that tended to be evil, cunning and good at cheating, so I didn't have a good impression of these monsters either. So I quickly moved forward, swinging my club and heavily hitting the goblin's forehead!
Bang!
A crisp sound, 37 points of damage floated above the goblin's head!
The goblin's claws also landed on my shoulder, causing a slight pain, and I lost 20 points of blood!
Roughly calculated, although the monster's attack output is not as good as mine, my total blood gas is less than that of the monster. In terms of percentage, it's actually about the same. Fortunately, I brought a lot of potions before coming out, 50 bottles of potion are enough for me to kill this task!
Swinging the wooden stick in a flurry of wild blows, after six or seven consecutive strikes, this goblin finally let out a mournful cry and slowly fell to the ground. In the process, he also downed a bottle of medicine; otherwise, it's hard to say who would have fallen first! However, I have to say that this monster's vitality is really strong. If it were human, two blows would be enough to send him to the hospital!
Several copper coins were seen shining on the ground, bent down and picked them all up in one go, counted them and found there were 9 of them, hmm, doesn't seem like a bad deal!
Little Red's Mushroom: Task Supplies
A mushroom appeared next to the goblin's corpse, this should be what Little Red wanted. NND, who told you to snatch someone else's little girl's labor achievement for no reason, it serves you right to get beaten up!
I went back to full health and killed another one, the mushroom's drop rate is still pretty good, basically killing three can get two out, any lower and I wouldn't be able to take it anymore, because every time I kill one I have to drink a bottle of medicine to ensure safety, otherwise I'd end up on the ground!
