Chapter 6: Goblin Battle Axe

What! This kind of person still calls themselves an expert?!

I will pack my belongings and deal with these goblins first

I was the first person to leave the village, so I did not hesitate and immediately ran over

In just three consecutive sounds, the little goblin completed its mission as soon as it appeared, dropping an axe before collapsing at the edge of the forest

The goblin's axe slowly fell upon my shoulder, causing a slight pain and resulting in a loss of 5 health points

Oh? The equipment is ready!

I am now at level 3, and the little goblins are no longer sufficient to meet my needs. Moreover, I have acquired a new weapon. By allocating all 5 upgrade points to strength, my attack power has suddenly reached a formidable range of 1 to 17. With such a fierce attack, it would be a waste not to target the elite monsters!

Thus, he quickly chose a nearby wandering goblin to strike, and with one blow, damage numbers immediately floated above its head

I nodded immediately

System notification: You have been upgraded

Task content: Eliminate the fire bats to the south of the village and collect 20 samples of bat blood to deliver to the militia captain, Masu

After our conversation, the young girl Xiaohua sat under the big tree, seemingly unable to take on any more tasks

High investment brings high returns; I still understand such a simple principle

Ding!

Little Goblin (Common Monster)

System Notification: You have accepted the task "Clearing the Fields"! (Beginner task. Current difficulty: 50)

At that moment, a small creature resembling a book suddenly appeared beside me, sneaking around and looking around furtively.

System prompt: Do you accept the task of collecting the Goblin Battle Axe?

I was slightly taken aback and quickly pressed the confirm button

A crisp sound echoed, and the damage number "12" floated above the goblin's head

I was about to start working when I suddenly saw a girl in a linen dress standing not far away. She was occasionally looking out, seemingly seeking some kind of help

Level: 1

I was slightly taken aback; I had clearly stated that Grandpa Xiaohua had only lost one axe, yet this fellow immediately asked me to collect 10. It seems he is indeed to my taste, engaging in the same kind of business of empty-handedly reaping profits as I do

I immediately bent down to pick up the copper coins, a total of 3 pieces, and put them all into my bag

Fortunately, my vitality is not much different from that of a goblin, so I should be able to withstand it

I was slightly taken aback, not expecting it to become this intense!

Ding!

When I approached the NPC girl, she said to me: "My grandfather recently lost his axe while going out to chop firewood. I heard it was taken by some despicable little goblins! Brother, can you help me retrieve my grandfather's axe?"

... ...

After leaving the village, I looked out and saw the vast forest filled with green little monsters, with not a single player in sight. Turning back, I noticed that players from the novice village had already swarmed in!

Ding!

How could one possibly refuse such a good thing?

Many players cast envious glances at me; in their eyes, I have undoubtedly become the most impressive figure in this novice village so far

Vital energy and blood: 100

... ...

Goblin Battle Axe (Quest Item)

After adding 5 points to strength, my attack immediately changed from 0-3 to 0-8. This should make it much easier to deal with a small goblin!

I was overjoyed and immediately opened the package, only to find a steel sword quietly lying inside

Just as I was leaving the village, I noticed that there was an armored soldier at the village entrance, holding a steel sword and looking around.

Battle Notification: You have killed a small Goblin and gained 10 experience points

Rough Iron Sword (Rough Item)

Thus, I quickly returned to the village and bought 10 bottles of potions from the pharmacy owner, each capable of restoring 100 health points. However, they were astonishingly expensive, selling for 20 copper coins each! Fortunately, I had just completed a quest, and the system rewarded me with two silver coins, so I purchased all the potions.

I walked over, and as expected, this NPC was the captain of the village militia. He looked me over and said, "Brave young man, you are strong enough now. Would you be willing to help me with a small task?"

I felt a sudden jolt in my heart; the difficulty of the task of killing goblins was 10, but now this task's difficulty has unexpectedly risen to 50. Looking into the eyes of the militia captain, they seemed to convey a meaning akin to "The wind howls coldly at the Yi River, a brave man departs and never returns"

System Notification: Congratulations on completing the task "Goblin Battle Axe". You have gained 500 experience points, received 2 silver coins, earned +1 reputation, and obtained the quest reward item "Rough Iron Sword"

I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine, so I quickly packed my belongings and hurried south towards the village

Ding!

System notification: You have accepted the task of collecting Goblin Battle Axes! (Beginner task, current difficulty 10)

However, after defeating this goblin, my health has dropped below half. If I were to encounter another goblin, it would be dangerous

Several consecutive strikes of a wooden stick on the goblin's head caused it to let out a wail and slowly fall to the ground, revealing a few copper coins glimmering on the surface

Required level: 2

Upon picking it up and taking a look, it turned out to have no attributes, which left me slightly disappointed. I immediately tossed the battle axe into my bag and continued to slay monsters

The militia captain exclaimed: "Recently, a group of bothersome flame bats has appeared to the south of the village. They possess a certain level of toxicity, and several of my soldiers have been poisoned by them. I hope you can go and kill these flame bats, and collect a batch of their blood for antidote!"

It is important to note that my attack frequency is much faster than that of the goblin. As a low-level monster, the goblin naturally cannot deal instant kills to players

The drop rate for axes is not high; on average, I can obtain one axe after defeating about 5 goblins. Moreover, the situation is exacerbated by the increasing number of players at https://m.hetushu.com. By the time I had acquired 9 axes, the fields were filled with players of all kinds, and almost every goblin seemed to be struck on the head by several short sticks as soon as it respawned

Attack: 1 - 4

The attack of the little goblin is only between 1 and 3, so with my 2 points of defense, it should not be too difficult to handle

Attack: 1 - 3

The few players who were competing for the monsters looked at me blankly, seemingly wanting to ask something, but I had no time to respond and simply turned back to Little Flower.

I was filled with shame and immediately allocated all five attribute points to strength. How can one level up effectively in the early stages without any attack power? Moreover, the profession I am about to choose will definitely be a combat class

I immediately clicked accept, and another system notification rang out.

I quickly checked my personal attributes and suddenly realized that the 5 attribute points provided by the system upon account creation had not been added yet

With a resounding thud, Honghong swung his club again, and the poor goblin immediately let out a wail before collapsing to the ground. With a "clatter," a rusted axe fell alongside a few copper coins.

Ding!

He took out 10 axes, and immediately a smile appeared on Xiaohua's face. She said, "Thank you, you helped me find my grandfather's axe, this is your reward!"

Clap clap!

I was fully prepared, and just now my strike was as swift as lightning; it is no surprise that I struck the monster first!

I quickly equipped the iron sword, and at that moment, I became the only expert in this novice village who possessed both the iron sword and the accompanying skills!

Task content: Assist the young girl Xiaohua in searching for the lost axe, which should be with the goblins outside the village. Eliminate the goblins and collect 10 battle axes from them!

34

... ...

Defense: 1

Swiftly picking up the battle axes, by the time they were tossed into the bag, 10 axes had already been collected

I immediately struck with a club, and at the same time, the other four people around me also swung their short clubs vigorously

I observed and found that such low-level monsters can easily have their attributes determined

At that moment, a goblin very close to me had already discovered that I was a person who should not be here. It quickly raised its axe and charged over, its short body resembling a small winter melon, and it was even wearing a ridiculous green helmet

Bang

It seems that I can no longer practice here; otherwise, it would be impossible to distance my level from these ordinary players

Ding!

Haha, it turns out to be a level 2 equipment. Although it is still the lowest grade of equipment, its attack power is much stronger than the stick provided by the system! (In the realm of spirits, the equipment levels are: rough grade, white equipment, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, dark gold, ghost equipment, earth equipment, divine equipment. Of course, there are rumored to be super divine artifacts and other extraordinary items beyond that, but whether one can encounter them in a lifetime remains uncertain.)

Thus, I rushed forward swiftly, swinging the short stick and striking hard on the goblin's forehead

... ...

Hmm? It seems there is a task!
