Chapter 13: immediate goal
That's the end of a busy day, and that night, the players exchanged the information they got while partying at the hotel.
"The local kids are full of curiosity," Scavenger said. "It's no different from the kids on Earth."
Today, during the day, he and Shattered Ice are still training with the panda. They ask themselves that they are not good at negotiating, and they have no impression of those side quests in Novice Village.
Since the game system has been fully opened, players can obtain experience points through various actions and use it in various aspects - before this, they could only vaguely feel their "level" and "experience". Exist and realize that you can gain experience through positive actions to level up.
Training, fighting, and completing quests are all effective ways to gain experience. Among them, completing the task gets the most experience, but it is not easy to get the task. There is also a lot of experience gained in battle, but the premise is to fight against a strong enough opponent. During the two days of hunting, Yunero killed a lot of weak creatures such as rabbits, but got almost no experience points. On the contrary, in the process of following hunters to learn hunting and wild survival, I gained a lot of experience.
Compared with the other two ways, training is the most stable way to gain experience.
Moreover, training can also accumulate skill proficiency and attribute growth value. Those local residents who were originally game NPCs and now become normal people probably grew up in this way.
After two days of scavenger training, the levels of several skills such as "Basic Shooting", "Light Crossbow", and "Aiming" have been improved. Among their own attributes, "Accuracy" has improved a little, and "Endurance" and "Will" have also improved. Growth, on the whole, is quite cost-effective.
During the training, he also noticed that the children in Kalipura Village are full of curiosity about things like "fighting" and "exercise", just like the children on earth. Many children came to watch their training, pointing and watching, and more than one child showed a yearning mentality.
But... Compared with his shooting training and panda fighting training, the magic training of crushed ice is obviously more popular with children. Most of the children's attention was attracted by the crushed ice, and in the rest, there were a lot of pandas, but very few of them.
He was not surprised by this. The magic of crushed ice was really beautiful. The ice mist was shining in the sun, and even formed a rainbow more than once. Children would be curious and find it interesting, of course. Although Panda's fighting technique is not gorgeous, it is full of power. Every blow can make people clearly feel that powerful power, and it is normal to yearn for the strong.
Compared with these two companions, the scavenger's shooting training is a bit ordinary. There are no hunters in the village, and the children must have seen the training of hunters. Even if he uses a crossbow, which is slightly different from a hunter's bow, he uses nothing but a target. For a child, the difference is not much.
In general, the kids in the village didn't feel like he would just run around in the game, repeating a few meaningless dialogues, or occasionally issue an NPC with a random simple task, but with him Like any normal child he has ever seen, he is playful, full of curiosity, and yearns for something wonderful and powerful.
"They are annoying!" Shattered Ice shook his head and complained, "A group of people are buzzing around like flies! If you have any questions, come and ask, and hide and whisper, it makes me very uncomfortable!"
As a magician, his training is very dazzling, which has attracted the attention of many children. But he doesn't like it at all! In contrast, he would rather practice silently in the training ground with three or five friends, rest for a while after training, eat and drink, and chat.
During training, a group of children nearby kept exclaiming, admiring, talking... He didn't feel proud, just annoying.
"It's okay." Panda smiled and said, "Maybe, we can teach them a little kung fu."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words - teaching these children kung fu?
"This... it's not easy." Wu Mian shook his head, "It's very difficult to teach them skills, I think it's a bit of a waste of time."
The Valkyrie nodded and said, "Wusian is right. Today I taught Struer spear art, and I taught him all day, but he didn't learn much. He is already considered a person with relatively high basic attributes in the village, and even he Learning so slowly, let alone these little kids."
"And we don't have time to teach them slowly." Wu Mian said again, "I walked around the village today, groping and testing all the tasks related to the novice village in my impression, and concluded that there are probably Five or six quests can be done... For us, doing quests is the fastest way to increase experience points. The previous 'Unfortunate Gambler Stroke' quest, everyone got a lot of experience points."
Everyone nodded, and through that mission, everyone got more experience points than a day of training.
For these traversers, getting more experience points as soon as possible is the most important thing in front of them. With enough experience points, you can level up, improve skills and attributes, and make yourself stronger. This world is not safe. If the future events follow the original "plot", there will be many dangers and difficulties in the future.
Although the traversers are immortal, even if they die, they can be resurrected at the guild crystal, but if they are not strong enough, they are beaten into the castle by the enemy and defend the guild crystal, then even if they are resurrected, they will only die again.
So no matter what the future holds, gaining experience points and improving strength is always the most important task for traversers.
As a group of people from red countries, they have been familiar with the principle of "power comes from the barrel of a gun" since childhood.
The reason for sleeplessness persuaded everyone. Even if the Panda who wanted to recruit some people in Novice Village when they discussed the lack of guild staff in a private chat with the guild leader before, decided to put this matter aside for the time being and do the quest first.
After all, there is no rush to recruit people, there are so many people in the guild, enough to maintain the operation of the castle.
And... rashly recruiting people might not be a good idea.
After all, people are separated from each other, and reality is not a game. There is no such a simple and easy way to increase the loyalty of a follower as long as you send a small gift or bring a monster.
When playing the game, players can recruit randomly refreshed NPCs as followers. But so far, Panda has not seen even a randomly refreshed NPC. Every local has a clear history, from childhood to adulthood. Expecting such a person to leave everything behind and be loyal to an adventurer of unknown origin?
People who think this way must be addicted to games for too long and hurt their brains.
Compared with the locals, the power of the traversers themselves is the most reliable.
