Chapter 009: You False Chosen One
He did not dare to speak too excessively, fearing that the task at hand might slip away.
Who does not know that the first kill reward is the highest
"Young man, I am a chef," Lin Bai said helplessly, raising his hands in a gesture of reminder
A roar of anger
"It's nothing." 【Dragon's Breath】 quickly got up, staring at the dark doorway, pondering to himself, MBD, it's not a minor monster, it's a BOSS, I need to level up first to deal with it
It is clearly a minor boss inside, and its current level means that approaching it would be akin to delivering food. Now that the location is known, it can be revisited when the level is higher
Moreover, the NPC in front of me does not seem to have a high IQ; if he cannot defeat the boss, it would be good to trick him into giving me a few pieces of equipment.
I do not cry out in pain because I feel no pain, and the absence of broken bones and fractures is due to the interference of spirits within me
I ... ... '' [Dragon's Breath] got choked.
However
Lin Bai performed a deep bow, his posture executed with utmost precision
As soon as he thought that he was very likely to be the first player to encounter the storyline mode, Longxi quickly perked up. The discomfort he felt towards the haunted house vanished in an instant. He stretched his muscles and walked towards the shop, saying, "Wait for my good news"
It is said that most bosses in the game are one-time encounters
Lin Bai coughed lightly and provided him an opportunity to step down: "Young hero, you must have been ambushed by a ghost, right"
Get out of my house
"How could I possibly look down on you?" Long Xi sighed helplessly as he looked at Lin Bai, feeling exasperated by this NPC who always seemed to be suffering from some great injustice.
"Get out." A rough man's voice followed.
The lantern of the Dragon's Breath flickered once and then extinguished
Looking at the shop that was isolated with no village in front and no store behind, Long Xi felt a wave of unease in his heart, and he swallowed hard: "Is this the shop you have chosen?"
"Go away, do not disturb our lives," came the scolding voice of a woman
treasure
Lin Bai looked at "Dragon Breath" with a sense of sorrow, "You are the chosen one, a person of great ability. You fell out of the house at least more than ten meters, and if it were anyone else, they would have surely broken bones and torn muscles. Yet, you didn't even cry out in pain, not even furrowing your brow. You clearly didn't exert yourself fully; what else could this be but a perfunctory effort? I know, once you leave, you will never return..." I know, once you leave, you will never return...
Incomplete whiteboard weapon
Lin Bai let out a soft snort and asked with a hint of resentment, "Young man, are you really the Chosen One?"
Once this village is passed, there will be no more opportunities like this
Not dead
Then let's do it another day. Wait until I retrieve the long sword before battling the ghost. Keep your heart at ease, I will definitely help you get rid of this ghost. " [Dragon's Breath] glanced at Lin Bai, turned around, and left, not even mentioning the matter of the kitchen knife.
You don't even know what the few spirits inside look like, which clearly shows a lack of dedication. Lin Bai precisely hit the nail on the head.
... ...
... ...
What this NPC suggests is not without merit; after all, he is a novice and has nothing to lose. Perhaps he might truly discover the weaknesses of the spirits within!
Pah
In the forum, so many experts have not encountered the quest NPC
You promised me you would exorcise the evil spirits, yet you have entered the door twice, each time going in only to come out immediately, seemingly without even encountering a ghost. Although on the surface it appears that you were driven out by the ghost, I can see clearly that the ghost did not even touch a hair on you
Do it!
"So it turns out to be a female ghost, don't just hide in the shadows to scare people, come out and let me have a look." The frivolous voice of Longxi echoed.
As the level increases, one may need to exercise even more caution
There is not even a sense of pain, yet it claims to be one hundred percent real, how shameless!
"The chosen one is helpful and fearless, yet I have not seen that in you," Lin Bai said to Long Xi with a sense of desolation. "If you are not, I will not make it difficult for you. Just let me know, and I can look for someone else. I have heard that spirits can survive in the human world because they possess treasures..."
At the moment he saw the cleaver with a notch, Longxi was taken aback for a moment, but still took the cleaver and said, "Alright, then I will give it another try"
Moreover, he does not genuinely believe that the low-level monsters in the novice village are particularly formidable. At the launch of the server, there must be a place for players to gain experience!
The Dragon's Breath lies down
As soon as the words were spoken
I..." [Dragon Breath] glanced at the doorway again and said regretfully, "It's not possible today; I didn't bring a suitable weapon. Once I find a suitable weapon, I will come back to deal with him.
"It is you who should roll out of here." Transformed into a male spirit, [Dragon Breath] immediately became a messenger of justice, "You evil beings should not exist in this world. I advise you to dissipate early; otherwise, if it comes to blows, be careful of losing even the chance to be reincarnated..."
A flash of light appeared before Lin Bai's eyes, and a mass of black shadow flew out from the shop, falling at his feet, raising a cloud of dust
In his eyes, "Dragon Breath" is light, is hope, is Ultraman
The two stared at each other with wide eyes
Lin Bai's eyes seemed to see through everything: "I guessed it, didn't I?"
The game begins
The "Dragon's Breath" was even faster than last time, and without saying a word, it was launched out.
"Young man, I have a kitchen knife here, but I am not sure if it will be useful?" Lin Bai pulled out a kitchen knife from behind him, knowing what the player needed. While strolling through the night market, he had casually bought a tool, and on the way, he even took the time to chip a few notches into the knife on a stone.
But at the very least, one should clarify the details of the ghost, the means of attack, or the methods of killing, etc.
Lin Bai knew that asking a newcomer to fight the BOSS was somewhat forced
Long Xi was left speechless, staring blankly at Lin Bai, internally complaining, how on earth did they manage to sell this store to you with such intricate logic
Of course. 【Dragon's Breath】 stopped in its tracks, as one should show a certain level of respect towards task NPCs
This product was released too quickly
What a good temper
The solitary shop stands on the vacant lot, increasingly desolate against the backdrop of the night, eerie and dim. When the cold wind blows, it is simply the perfect location for filming an ancient tomb or haunted residence
Longxi felt a surge of frustration in his heart, yet he had no way to explain it to this stubborn NPC. He took a deep breath and said, "Shopkeeper, I truly do not have a suitable weapon."
I am so envious
There is no way.
Moreover
Indeed! Lin Bai nodded, borrowing the sales language of the young clerk from the dental office, "There is no competition from peers in the vicinity, the transportation is convenient, it is easy for diners to find parking, and it is an excellent prime location..."
Lin Bai calmly handed over the lantern in his hand and sighed, "Young man, I beg you, my life and fortune are entirely entrusted to you."
Without madness, one cannot truly live. Lin Bai constantly reminds himself to cultivate the habit of treating tasks as a part of life, ideally as natural as eating and drinking.
Lin Bai felt an overwhelming sense of emotion as he witnessed his wife being openly harassed by someone. How could this man not have slapped him to death right then and there
Bang
What is this strong tone of a resentful woman
What is the specification of the ghost in the store, let's settle this once and for all
For us businessmen, time is money. The NPC can be capricious. Lin Bai sighed and said with a hint of resentment, "Young man, don't brush me off. I know you look down on me too. All those old immortals are deceivers, and among the chosen ones, there are also those who are irresponsible..."
Long Xi cursed softly, wanting to turn and leave, yet reluctant to part with this instance known only to him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, as you wish, I will ascertain the situation inside."
Speaking
"Indeed, I was careless, and the knife is not very comfortable to use. It would be best if you could find me a longsword," Longxi said, feigning calm as he got up and brushed off the dust from his clothes
It seemed as if a strong wind had swept through the room, accompanied by a series of clattering sounds
Lin Bai quickly adjusted his mindset, as if he had not noticed the embarrassment of "Dragon's Breath," and generously offered flattery: "In front of the ghost, you managed to retreat unscathed. Little brother, you truly are the chosen one. Such skills are indeed enviable. I kindly ask you to eliminate this calamity from the world..."
Long Xi turned around quickly, his face filled with smiles: "Shopkeeper, don't be upset! I just didn't have time to prepare! Give me two days, just two days, and I will definitely help you get rid of him."
Lin Bai is standing
But newcomers have nothing but their lives, which makes them naturally brave and invincible, unafraid of anything
A dignified player would never lose face in front of an NPC
Waving his hand to disperse the dust from the tip of his nose, Lin Bai looked at the "Dragon Breath" at his feet, his face filled with concern: "Little brother, are you alright?"
As the player stepped into the shop, Lin Bai quickly put away his smile, gazing intently at the dark doorway, straining his ears to listen to the sounds within
The task I triggered must be completed by me for the first kill!
He took a deep breath, went all out, and it wouldn't matter if he died a few more times
No one knows what they will encounter, as each person is exploring the mechanics of this game. Of course, many still unconsciously apply their past gaming experiences.
I have always been the one to deceive others; who would deceive me?
The gaze of Long Xi towards Lin Bai instantly turned sympathetic, with such intelligence, it would be a disservice to one's own conscience not to take advantage of you
While observing the ghost, Lin Bai was also watching the player. Falling from a height of seven or eight meters, the player did not even furrow their brow, which is sufficient to prove that the player does not possess the sensation of pain
The excessive realism of the game is not necessarily a good thing, as the NPCs are increasingly difficult to please, leading to an inexplicable sense of dissatisfaction
This moment
If I had your abilities, even if I were preparing to come next time, I would make sure to understand the situation this time, including how many enemies are inside and what harmful methods they possess, gathering as much information as possible. Lin Bai continued, "Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. You haven't done anything and just say you'll come next time; even a fool wouldn't believe that"
The role of the tool person has not been fulfilled at all
