Chapter Five: The Oral Oath
Powerful attributes, the only drawback is that the experience value required for upgrading is really too much.
But Tian Huo wasn't dissatisfied in the slightest, with such a powerful attribute, at most he would just need to spend some more time leveling up, and he wouldn't even need to log off, his time was far more abundant than others.
He glanced at his storage backpack, and saw the Wensheng Ring quietly lying inside. The novice sword and novice clothes had also been returned to him. Tianhuo didn't rush to put on the Wensheng Ring, but instead looked towards the village chief.
"Village chief, do you still have White Cloud wine? I heard your White Cloud wine is very good!"
At this moment, Tianhuo is not just completing the blacksmith's task. After drinking a mouthful of homesickness wine, his four major attributes actually increased by 1! Tianhuo believes that the White Cloud Wine must have added even more attributes!
However, these things are all the same principle, when you use them for the first time, they can add attributes, but if you use them again, there is no effect.
"It's a beautiful thought, but Baiyun wine requires the white cloud grass from Mount Baiyun, which is too difficult to brew. In my lifetime, I've only managed to brew it a handful of times," said the village chief.
Tian Huo's eyes lit up, "The White Cloud Grass from White Cloud Mountain, right? If I go find some White Cloud Grass, can you lend a hand to brew it? We'll split it 50/50!"
"Twenty-eight! You two, I eight!" The village chief said with a gesture of his fingers.
Tian Huo's mouth twitched slightly at the corner, "You're just a two, five-five!"
"Twenty-eight, can't be less! That requires my exclusive secret technique!" The village chief said solemnly.
"Baiyuncao must be very hard to get, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, just five." Tianhuo shook his head and said.
"Three sevens, can't be any less, or forget it!"
The heavens were set aflame for a moment, and then he helplessly shrugged his shoulders. "Alright! You win!"
"Ding! System prompt, congratulations on accepting the hidden task: Village Chief's White Cloud Wine."
Task: Village Head's White Cloud Wine
Task difficulty: D level
Task Reward: One-third of the White Cloud Wine brewed
Task Introduction: The village chief of 9527 Village wants to brew White Cloud Wine and has entrusted you to go to White Cloud Mountain to collect White Cloud Grass.
"Heh heh, it's been a long time since I've tasted the flavor of White Cloud wine. You must work hard! However, the nocturnal monsters are stronger, you have to be careful!" The village chief said with a smile.
Tian Huo was stunned, how could he look at the village chief's eerie smile, as if he had been deceived!
But it doesn't matter, I'll just get some more white cloud grass, and I must complete the blacksmith's task. "You wait for the wine to brew, I'm off!"
Tian Huo stood up, rubbing his slightly hungry stomach, and suddenly thought to himself that he had crossed over into this digital world. Would there be anything here to fill his hunger?
As soon as he thought of this problem, Tian Huo's heart became apprehensive, and he looked at the inn not far from the village chief's house, and had to go try.
It's not an inn, but rather a humble shop. The middle-aged man with the sign "Innkeeper" on his head smiled and said: "Brave adventurer, what can I get for you? I have buns and mantou here, they'll never go bad if you put them in your backpack!"
Tian Huo was a bit apprehensive, unsure if this thing could fill his hunger. He cleared his throat and said, "Let's start with one bun to try."
The innkeeper was taken aback, seemingly dissatisfied that Tian Huo had only bought one, but still opened the steamer and handed him a bun. "5 copper coins."
Tian Huo ate a few mouthfuls of the bun, but didn't hear any system notification sounds. However, his feeling of hunger had disappeared by more than half, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled - after all, his body had crossed over into this digital world, so how was it possible for him to be hungry?
"Not bad, right? The buns I make are famous far and wide." The inn owner said with a smile.
The heavenly fire was also a smile, putting down the doubts in his heart, being able to fill his hunger was good enough. "Not bad, come again 99 times."
The inn owner was overjoyed and his previous unhappiness completely disappeared, he hastily packed for Tian Huo.
Baozi and medicine are the same, 99 of them occupy one grid in the storage grid. After eating another baozi, Tianhuo no longer feels hungry, so he heads to the pharmacy. With the system reward of 10,000 copper coins and the new player gift package's 100 copper coins, buying some medicine is still not a problem.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the pharmacy, Yao Lao looked at Tian Huo with a hopeful expression and asked excitedly: "Adventurer, have you collected the snake gall?"
Tian Huo awkwardly smiled and said, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Boss, without medicine, there's no sense of security!"
The old pharmacist blew his messy whiskers and said, "How much? I can give you a 10% discount at most. I'm really unlucky..."
Tian Huo looked at Yao Lao in surprise, the prices of the two medicines were reasonable after he checked them himself, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to buy some, but he didn't expect that they could still be discounted?
"Haha, alright, 297 bottles of each." Tian Huo smiled and said, the red and blue ones each occupied 3 storage slots, they would be transferred to the Wen Sheng ring later.
"3,564 copper coins, I'll let you have it cheap this time. If I couldn't get the snake gallbladder, I would definitely sell it to you at double the price!" Yao Lao said viciously.
Tian Huo shrugged, what a joke, his own collection technique had turned into Wen Sheng's laziness, able to automatically collect the corpses of monsters within a range of 5 meters, why worry about one thousand snake gallbladders?
"Wait for good news!" Tian Huo turned around and left, putting on the Wensheng Ring and new sword, new clothes, and transferring all the items in his storage backpack to the Wensheng Ring.
Wensheng's Ring, Cursed Equipment (Already bound to owner, cannot be traded, dropped, discarded or stolen.)
Attributes: None, comes with 1100 slots of storage space.
Occupational requirements: literary sage.
Wensheng's Sorrow: Passive skill, automatically picks up items within level × 5 meters.
The sorrow of Wen Sheng This passive skill allows Tian Huo to not have to pick up items like ordinary players, saving a lot of effort.
Yao Lao and the village chief's tasks are both on White Cloud Mountain, which is convenient for Tian Huo. However, Tian Huo has only been to Newbie Village once and still doesn't know where White Cloud Mountain is. As he ponders this, he arrives at the village entrance.
"Map sharing, how cheap!" A sturdy young man with a 'Kai Shan Meng Niu' (a type of hat) on his head was loudly shouting in the corner of the village, catching Tian Huo's attention. Map sharing, this time there's no need to worry about getting lost.
"Friend, how much for sharing the map?" Tian Huo asked as he walked forward.
The eyes of the mountainous cow flashed with excitement, finally coming to do business, but when he turned his head and saw it was Tianhuo, a complex expression flashed in his eyes. The Tianhuo in front of him was a famous person throughout the server.
"Haha, Tianhuo brother, you really have a good eye for this. I've already unlocked all the maps in Newbie Village. It costs 100 copper coins to share once, but if you can tell me what profession you got, I'll give it to you for free." said Kuangshan Mangniu mysteriously.
System prompt: Tianhuo is the first player to obtain a profession, but no one knows what kind of profession Tianhuo has. If you're not curious, how can that be!
Tian Huo shook his head, this price was not expensive for himself, and he still had 6036 copper coins left. It wasn't a big deal, and it would even save him some trouble. As for telling him his profession, forget about it!
"It's hard to open a chart, let's trade!"
Things like coins need to open the transaction interface for trading, input 100 copper coins and trade successfully, and the mountain map is also opened for sharing.
"Haha, so you're only level 2, I suggest you go to the wild dog area in the east to grind monsters, with your profession, you'll definitely level up quickly." said Mountain Mute Cow.
Tian Huo nodded, carefully examining the map. By passing through the wild dog area, he could reach Baiyun Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was where the snakes gathered, which was his true destination.
Tianhuo had prepared so many potions, he wanted to get enough snake gall and white cloud grass at once before coming back. It was now the wee hours of the game time, according to the server's time, it should be around 5 or 6 in the morning in the real world. At this time, there were not many players, which suited him just fine for grinding monsters.
Monsters' attributes will be enhanced at night, but correspondingly, the experience points are also higher. If your abilities are sufficient, it's not a bad choice to grind monsters at night.
And Tian Huo didn't have a bit of sleepiness at this moment, why not enjoy it?
As they headed east, the sky fire soon arrived at the wild dog area. Looking around, sparse small hills were scattered on the plain, with lush green grass everywhere, and half-meter-high wild dogs played leisurely under the moonlight, seemingly tireless day and night.
It's hard to see anyone around here at this time, after all, the game has an anti-addiction system, and you can only be online for eight hours a day, not everyone can be like Tian Huo.
Wild Dog: Level 3, HP 150, Attack 21, Defense 6.
"Attributes are slightly higher than Crazy Rabbit, hehe, see how awesome I am!" Tian Huo was overjoyed and raised the new sword in his hand, just about to attack the Wild Dog, but his face changed because the system prompt sound rang out again beside his ear.
"Ding! System alert: Player Tianhuo, please note that your current weapon category does not match and you are unable to attack."
"What the... Can't attack? How am I supposed to level up?! This is ridiculous!"
The Heavenly Fire was furious and scolded, he had clearly equipped himself with new weapons, but somehow he couldn't attack!
Tian Huo's facial muscles twitched, having been toyed with by the system in such a short time. From being sealed to obtaining the Saint of Literature profession, Tian Huo had barely recovered when he found himself unable to launch an attack!
－1，－1，－1……
Tian Huo stood in front of a wild dog, his face changing color, and even the wild dog that was constantly attacking him didn't notice. Fortunately, Tian Huo had 62 defense, which made it impossible for the wild dog with only 21 attack to break through his defense, and could only forcibly deduct 1 point of blood.
Tian Huo let out a long sigh, it's impossible for the system to play with people like this, I must have overlooked something!
Thinking of this, Tian Huo didn't care about the wild dog in front of him and hastily opened the attribute interface.

……
When he saw the profession, the sentence "Kill enemies with poetry, destroy demons with songs, and fix the universe with literature" made Tianhuo's eyes brighten up. Could it be that he had to rely on reciting poems to kill monsters?
Rubbing his chin, Tian Huo spoke: "A hundred battles on the battlefield, shattered iron armor, the city to the south has already been surrounded several times. Suddenly attacking and killing the Huyan general, leading a lone remnant of a thousand cavalry back."
"Ding! System notification: Congratulations to player Tian Huo for creating an unprecedented masterpiece, all attributes +10, level +1, triggering the exclusive skill of Wen Sheng: Kou Zhuan!"
