Chapter 3, Hidden Tasks

Ding! Player Feng Xiaoxiao has mastered the ultimate skill 'Wind Walks the World' First Form! Before Feng Xiaoxiao could react, there was another sound.

The wind howls, and my heart is twisted with laughter, striking a pose reminiscent of Hou Yi shooting the suns, yet the arrow released seems akin to Galileo dropping a heavy ball from the Leaning Tower of Pisa

After speaking, he turned and dashed away, instantly appearing in Wu Xuejiu's home

"Wind Walk Across the World": A supreme skill of movement. It consists of seven forms, each with ten levels

Ah, just a little over 11 hours, and I won't charge you for that extra bit!" the boss said generously.

It is done, I have finally completed all the tasks! Feng Xiaoxiao suppressed the overwhelming joy within and approached the village chief with a relatively calm demeanor.

"What! You have something for me to help with!" Feng Xiaoxiao exclaimed in exasperation, but fearing that the boss might change his mind and not give him the paper, he quickly changed his tone and said, "What would you like me to do, sir?"

I do not know about this, so you need not thank me, I am leaving

Well, that's quite interesting

The wind howled as I was completely taken aback by the sound of 'ding'. I foolishly waited for a long time, and when I saw that no more 'ding' sounds were forthcoming, I mechanically looked at the things I had unintentionally acquired.

"What, you threw it away? Do you know that was a long, long time ago..."

Feng Xiaoxiao, upon hearing these words, was suddenly enlightened. She turned and rushed towards the forest, where she found the hunter.

It is still where you originally placed it

Without saying a word, he stepped forward, picked up the child, and tossed him over his shoulder like a sack. He rushed to Aunt Wang's house at lightning speed, threw the child onto the ground, and said, "Aunt, this is your child from the picture book, isn't it?"

First Form, Swift as the Wind and Lightning, currently at Level 1, Movement + 100%

The wind rustled, and I was suddenly enlightened; could this be Aunt Wang's child? That would truly be a stroke of luck without any effort at all

Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt his head swell several times. Without waiting for Uncle Li to finish speaking, he turned around and performed an accelerated running exercise

If you bring it back, I was planning to give it to you

What, how could you not bring him back for me!

Thank you!" Ye Kai responded casually, but inwardly he was muttering, "That went by so quickly, I didn't feel it at all. Upon reflection, I really did spend quite a bit of time running around in the game. I can only blame myself for not understanding anything and having to rely on my own exploration.

"Hey, it's this child here, I don't know whose he is, but he's been causing trouble for me for quite a while, making it impossible for me to focus on my business. Whatever method you think of, quickly get him out of here!"

Without waiting for Feng Xiaoxiao to provide an explanation, the system's voice sounded again: "Ding! Player Feng Xiaoxiao has chosen 'which'. The system did not find any named internal skills, martial arts, mental methods, ultimate skills, or equipment. Searching for similar terms, 'random' was found."

Which one should I choose

They randomly arrived at the mine that Uncle Zhang mentioned, picked up the shovel from the ground, and began to work diligently. Before long, they had filled a basket. Their skills were limited, and what they dug up was either copper ore or nothing at all. However, this was better; it made the task of completing the map much smoother

Ding! The wind howls as one masters the mental technique of 'inner sight'

The forest appeared before the ambitious Feng Xiaoxiao, and he also noticed a person clad in animal skins, who seemed to be a hunter.

Village Chief, I have completed all the tasks entrusted to me by everyone. May I take my leave now?

Ignoring the tales of the legendary hunter Sun, Feng Xiaoxiao hurried back to the grocery store. She handed the wild rabbit to the owner, whose wooden-carved face finally softened. "What did you want again, paper? Alright, here you go. Also, could you do me another favor!"

The village chief looked kindly at the wind and said: "Good child, you are helpful and do not seek rewards in return. I have decided to reward you! Although this is just a novice village, many esteemed predecessors have chosen to reside here after their retirement. Therefore, we have preserved many lost martial arts and divine weapons. Today, I will impart one of them to you!"

Carrying a basket of copper ore, he dumped it at Uncle Zhang's shop entrance, shouted into the house, and then slipped away

Little child, what do you understand? This axe is from a long, long time ago...

After some thought, Ye Kai exited the game. Standing up, he truly felt a bit tired. He staggered over to the cash register, where the owner remained as enthusiastic as ever: "Are you done? How was it? Quite fun, right?"

Ignoring Wu Xuejiu's further analysis of the seriousness of the situation, he turned and left

Haha, otherwise you wouldn't be playing for over ten hours straight. At least take a break in between to have a meal

Sun the Hunter smiled faintly at the rustling wind and said: "I am lazy"

What does all this mean? Feng Xiaoxiao still doesn't understand the game very well. Forget it, I've been playing for quite a while. I should head back first and ask Liangzi and the others when they wake up.

A large bundle of broken and fragmented branches was tied with tree bark. The wind howled as he returned to Uncle Li's house, confidently throwing the wood at Uncle Li's bedside and signaling him with a challenging gaze. "Hmm, not bad, so capable at such a young age. Where is my axe?"

As soon as I expressed this intention, the boss's spring-like warm smile vanished in an instant, and his expression became as wooden as a carving. After a long pause, he forced out a sentence: "Credit must be resolutely resisted. If you have no money, you can exchange something instead!" After saying this, his gaze wandered back and forth over Feng Xiaoxiao.

Indeed, there is not a single good thing in this game! Feng Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly as he walked deeper into the forest with the bow and arrows given to him by Hunter Sun.

"Heart Eye": An auxiliary mental technique. There are a total of 10 levels, currently at level 1, with an attack increase of 50% and a hit rate increase of 50%

Sigh, let me first inquire where I can find some paper. Upon arriving at the village grocery store and asking around, it turns out they do have some. I will discuss with the owner to see if I can get a few sheets on credit.

Since you are not at home to chop wood anyway, it is better to leave it there to save you from carrying it back and forth every day

Ah, yes, indeed, thank you so much! This child is really... Oh, why does it seem like he has no breath!

He went to pick up the smallest one and stubbornly stuffed it into his arms, then picked up the remaining few from hetushu.com, happily going to find Hunter Sun. Hunter Sun praised Feng Xiaoxiao greatly and expressed his intention to gift him his beloved bow and arrows as a keepsake

Ignoring the hunter, Feng Xiaoxiao walked straight to the edge of the forest and immediately spotted the legendary axe of Uncle Li.

I am surnamed Sun. If you are interested, please go to the woods and help me catch a few wild rabbits

Feng Xiaoxiao recalled the absurd excuses of Uncle Li and the others, and curiously asked Hunter Sun: "Why don't you go yourself?"

Who cares about your broken axe

The second formula, the third formula, the fourth formula, the fifth formula, the sixth formula, the seventh formula, have not yet been acquired

The wind howled, leaving him in a daze! Is this really happening? Which one should I choose? He stammered to the village chief, saying: "Chief, which of these items is better?"

Dizzy, it turns out that using a bow is not so easy. I simply tossed the bow aside and threw the arrows like javelins, which proved to be more effective than shooting them with the bow. In no time, several nearby dim-witted wild rabbits met their fate.

Without further ado, he picked up the axe and danced like a windmill in the forest, while several immature saplings around him were battered and shattered by the howling wind

The wind howled, and blood surged within me; my forehead felt hot. I slammed my left hand on the table and shouted: "Do you want fingers, arms, legs, or perhaps the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs? Feel free to take your pick!"

Ding! Feng Xiaoxiao is the first to complete the hidden task of "The Person in the Jianghu". The system will randomly reward you!

Next, it will be difficult to obtain the paper that Wu Xuejiu needs, as it is unlikely that www.hetushucom can produce paper for him

Ding! The system notification sound rang in your ears: "You have completed the hidden quest in the novice village and may freely choose the internal skills, martial arts, mental techniques, ultimate skills, or equipment you wish to obtain." Following this, a selection menu appeared before you

Teacher Wu, I have brought you the paper you requested! Ah, good, good, thank you very much. How should I express my gratitude? Although you have interrupted my creative flow multiple times and extinguished my inspiration, I still want to thank you. Please do not refuse my gratitude. For someone like me, who is so emotional, I cannot guarantee what consequences may arise from being rejected. If it causes any negative impact on society, we would both become eternal sinners. And...

Which one? It seems I don't have anything called that! The village chief said in confusion, "Oh, let me go look for it!"

Seeing the hunter smiling at him, a chill ran down his spine despite the wind's gentle rustle. It seemed as if the village chief's couplet echoed in his ears, reminding him of Uncle Li's incessant nagging akin to Xianglin's wife. "Fortunately, I didn't respond to him; what would I do if I were assigned another task?" He secretly felt relieved.

The boss remained expressionless and coldly said, "No need to go, but I have been wanting to try some game lately." After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes and did not utter another word.

What is it, is there something that has lasted long?

These are all good items that can only be obtained through hidden tasks

There are indeed quite a few rabbits in the forest, darting about in all directions. What is even more endearing is that many of them, being rather naive, do not hide when they see people approaching

No need for that, I have already thrown away your broken bow!
