Chapter 9, The New Village Head's Trial

Yu Wenhui made some adjustments and brought out all the spoils, totaling fifty-four cards, of which twenty-six are character cards, eighteen are skill cards, and ten are item cards

The reward for this task: The newly established Huangjia Village can provide players with free healing. When players return to Huangjia Village, all negative statuses, severe injuries, poison, curses, etc., will gradually recover without the need for any medicine

These tasks greatly intrigued Yu Wenhui, but he quickly forced himself to reflect; he was not here to play games and could not become immersed in this world. Although he had not come away empty-handed, Yu Wenhui still felt somewhat discouraged. He had searched the entire village and was feeling a bit weary, so he casually found a household, grabbed a bamboo lounge chair, and collapsed onto it, panting heavily.

These twenty-six character cards... are almost entirely composed of ordinary people cards, such as village women, yellow-haired girls, blacksmiths, farmers, and other individuals who clearly have little prospect for the future

I merely wish to complete the novice task and then leave this place. Why has it become so complicated, and why am I unexpectedly starting a series of quests as the successor of the Demon Blade? I am certain I can find a way to complete the novice task, as long as I am given a moment to think it through carefully

Lifespan: 38

Yu Wenhui moved in and out of every household in the village, hoping to find more clues. However, after two or three hours of busy work, he did not make any progress on the novice task, yet inexplicably received four hidden tasks, one of which was a chain task.

Yu Wenhui truly had no intention of playing this game, nor did he attempt to understand "Full-time Martial God." Kou Xiaohan's introduction could only highlight the key points, leaving out many less important details. However, the situation has now changed, and he can only carefully review the game introduction in order to complete the novice tasks and quickly leave this place

Martial arts cards can be cultivated and enhanced, but innate roots cannot. The ability to enhance innate roots represents a fundamental change for a character card. The rewards for establishing a private school can be considered exceptionally generous, far surpassing those of several other tasks

Yu Wenhui was quite certain that he had walked through the entire village and should not have missed any suspicious places. His head was starting to ache from thinking so hard, and he could not come up with any good solutions. After pondering for over an hour, he still had nothing to show for it, and in frustration, he slapped his thigh. It was only when his gaze fell on the light screen that he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have obtained many cards earlier.

To illustrate, even when practicing the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, the martial arts skills of individuals such as Wang Jiantong, Qiao Feng, Hong Qigong, Li Sheng, Guo Jing, Yelü Qi, and Shi Huolong vary significantly. The strongest among them are nearly invincible in the world, while the weakest are merely second or third-rate characters

If a gentleman in white attire were to equip himself with the Eighteen Styles of the Shrew, and if Yu Wenhui's martial arts were to differ from his opponent by no more than three points, there would undoubtedly be a fierce contest akin to "dragons vying and tigers battling"

Innate bone structure can affect the performance of martial arts. The same martial arts equipment can exhibit vastly different practical capabilities when used by different character cards

These two character cards have names that seem ethereal and enchanting, but in reality, they are both character cards of the demon race, and they are of the same level as the white-clad scholar, classified as high-level demon race character cards. They originate from two 'warriors' who, after slaughtering the village, sought to kill each other, ultimately leading to their mutual destruction and demise.

He discovered while reviewing this hidden task that the trial of the new village chief closely overlaps with the novice tasks, encompassing all the novice tasks and additionally including more than ten hidden tasks that are not listed among the novice tasks, totaling forty-nine small tasks

Character: Shrew (Aunt Li)

Taking the shrewish Aunt Li as an example, her main panel is as follows

While searching for clues in the village chief's house, he inadvertently triggered a certain condition, causing a light screen to pop up with a prompt: "The village chief has disappeared. Do you wish to accept the trial of the new village chief?"

Star rating: ☆

Martial Arts: 3

There is only one skill card slot and one item card slot, with no special slots available

Yu Wenhui furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "I wonder when the people in this village will reappear. Am I supposed to wait here indefinitely? I have to go to work early tomorrow morning, so I must rest as soon as possible. I cannot afford to waste too much time here"

Perhaps there are clues here? I am truly foolish for forgetting to check the spoils

Currently, a total of 385 character cards have been developed for the Full-time Martial God, among which 290 are basic cards with no potential, such as the following human characters: shrew, village woman, blacksmith, farmer, yellow-haired girl, etc. From the demon race, there are characters like the white tiger spirit, white bear spirit, fire mouse spirit, and iron-backed gray wolf spirit, among various minor demons. The number of thugs and monster-level character cards is close to 60, including: white-clad scholar, chivalrous youth, nameless soldier, helmsman, altar master, iron-backed gray wolf monster, tree demon, celestial child, moon maiden, etc. Higher-tier character cards are quite rare; the bear-tiger level and demon soldier level characters have become the main cards for high-level players.

Bone structure: 5.8

Aunt Li has already mastered the "Eighteen Styles of the Shrew" to its peak, which can provide her with three points of martial arts value. Since she has no equipment, the martial arts value provided by equipment is zero

Aunt Li's innate constitution was extremely poor, therefore, although she had a martial arts value of 3, she was still killed by Yu Wenhui in a single encounter

Another task is for him to search the entire village. When he entered the last household in the village, a prompt appeared: The layout of Huangjia Village does not conform to feng shui. If the village can be re-planned to ensure favorable weather conditions, the population of the village could double. Are you willing to help the villagers?

Yu Wenhui did not think much and readily accepted it

Slot: Martial Arts (1) Item (1) Special (0)

Level: 1 / 10

Yu Wenhui could easily deduce with his toes that the character card of the fairy was dropped by the young girl who was killed, and the high school boy who was also killed. The character card of the moon girl represents the young girl who wanted to kill him but was instead killed by the high school boy.

There are only two character cards that are somewhat presentable, one is the Fairy Boy and the other is the Moon Girl

The innate root bone is one of the main attributes of a character card and is also a decisive hard indicator of the quality of the character card

As a standard commoner card, her lifespan is thirty-eight, indicating that if she is not killed, she can live for another thirty-eight years. Her innate root bone total value is only 5.8, which is relatively low among commoner cards. However, the highest innate root bone total value for commoner cards does not exceed ten.

There are two additional tasks: one is to establish a private school in the village, where one can either serve as the teacher or hire an external instructor; the other is to set up a security agency in the village, which would enable merchant caravans to come and conduct business. Both tasks offer substantial rewards: the former can enhance the innate attributes of a character card, while the latter allows for the hiring of escorts at half price for transporting goods.
