Chapter 261 The trials of generosity are completed one after another, high-level talents! (6000)
A thoughtful look appeared in Yaskin's eyes.
Then, he shook his head and said: "Back to Lord, I have never heard of this."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, but he didn't have high expectations.
The hint on this doll just says that you can look for clues in the village.
But the search scope is too large.
"Come on, let's continue walking around the village."
After saying that, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue, Assam, Renesi and Yaskin to wander around the village.
Soon, they passed through the street at the entrance of the village and arrived at the interior of Annohe Village.
It’s similar to what you see outside. There are some decorations hanging on the door of every house here, and smoke is rising from the kitchen, full of the breath of life.
The ground in Hog Village is slippery, rather muddy.
The sound of water squelching when you step on it.
There is nothing we can do about it.
After all, this place is not like Cao Xing's territory. It is all covered with a bluestone floor, which is both stain-resistant and beautiful.
The streets of Annuohe Village are just ordinary dirt. After it snows, it will become even muddy when everyone steps on it.
Not long after they advanced.
Cao Xing suddenly noticed that an old man in ragged clothes was huddled in the corner of the house next to him.
She seemed to have been squatting here for a long time, and her body was shaking slightly.
Noticed Cao Xing's gaze.
Yaskin explained from the side: "Lord, these are some beggars."
"They generally come from other places, either because the village has experienced drastic changes, or something has happened to their families and they can no longer survive."
"So I can only go to other villages and beg on the streets."
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
I wanted to ignore it.
But he suddenly thought of his [Generosity Trial] mission, which was about helping some people who really needed help.
So, he stepped forward and asked, "Old man, do you need any help?"
The old man slowly raised his head, revealing a wrinkled head.
"This... kind young man... can you give me something to eat..."
"I haven't eaten for a long time..."
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then took out a few pieces of white bread and drinking water from his backpack and placed them in front of her.
"Old man, please use it."
The old man looked at the bread in his hand, and suddenly a frightening light appeared in his eyes like a wild beast that had been hungry for several days when he saw raw meat!
However, she did not eat it immediately. Instead, she bowed and solemnly thanked Cao Xing.
"Thank you... this kind young man... I wish you a good dream..."
Just as Cao Xing was about to say you're welcome, a system prompt appeared.
[Attention survivors! Because you helped someone who truly needed help, the Generosity Trial mission has been completed. 】
[Knight’s Five Virtues Trial: The progress of the Generosity Trial has been updated. 】
[Current progress: 2/5]
…
Cao Xing was stunned, "Uh, is it that simple?"
"You only need to send some food and water to complete a mission?"
The next moment, there was surprise in his eyes!
Cao Xing quickly glanced at the street and found that there were many beggars like this old woman.
"Okay, okay! In this way, won't I be able to complete this trial casually?"
And when he followed the same pattern, he found the second beggar and gave him food and drinking water.
The system prompt did not appear again.
Cao Xing frowned. When he found the third beggar and gave him food and water, the task was still not completed.
Not only that.
The other beggars in the village also stared at Cao Xing with greedy eyes, as if they were about to rush over in the next second.
However, when they noticed the tall Assam next to them and Rhaenys with a long bow on her back.
In the end, these beggars were still afraid of the terrifying aura emanating from these two people and did not come over.
Cao Xing thought for a moment, "Can a task of the same type only be completed once?"
"In other words, it is no longer effective to help these beggars."
Shaked his head.
"It seems that we can only look for clues in other aspects."
So, he continued to wander around the village.
After advancing for about a few hundred meters, everyone came to a lively place. Someone seemed to be performing acrobatics in front of them.
One is holding a bamboo pole, and the other is on the top of the bamboo pole, doing various difficult movements.
"good!"
"So beautiful!"
There were cheers all around.
Just as he was about to go over and join in the fun, he suddenly felt a hand touching his waist.
It seemed like someone was trying to steal his backpack.
As a fourth-level frost mage, Cao Xing's reaction speed is also extremely fast.
He turned around quickly and grabbed it casually!
A young, dirty little boy was held in his hand.
"Let...let me go...you bastard!"
The little guy was grabbed by the collar by Cao Xing, and his limbs were fluttering in mid-air, as if he was still trying to struggle.
The villagers nearby also saw the movement here and turned their eyes over one after another.
However, when they saw the little guy in Cao Xing's hand, there was no sympathy in their eyes.
Instead, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
"Haha, this kid Safit wants to do this kind of thing again, he must be caught now!"
"That's right, this brat does this every day, even to the people in the village. It's so wicked!"
"Folks, come and see, this kid Safit has been caught by this adult!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Cao Xing understood something.
This little boy who wanted to steal his backpack seemed to have done this kind of thing frequently and was already notorious.
Even though he was choking his neck, he still looked arrogant and unruly, "Let me go! You bastard!"
"I'm from the Ice Toad Gang. If you don't let me go, I'll ask Boss Vera to come over and teach you a lesson!"
"He'll beat the crap out of you!"
But Cao Xing looked at this little guy with interest, then looked at the other villagers and asked, "Is this little guy usually so arrogant?"
Hearing this, the villagers were filled with indignation and said: "Sir, this kid Safit is not only arrogant, he does all kinds of evil!"
"Fathers and fellow villagers in Annuohe Village, many people have been harmed by him!"
"That's right, this kid is really bad!"
In the midst of everyone's discussion, this kid's evil deeds were revealed.
This kid named Safet is a repeat offender.
In addition to snatching the backpacks of passing pedestrians, he also stole the clothes of beggars in the village.
In this extremely cold world, it is self-evident what it means to have your clothes robbed. He also indirectly killed several elderly people.
Not only that, he also peeked at the young woman taking a bath in the middle of the night, and even got under the bed of the widow's house to scare others.
It can be said that he has been bad since he was a child and has pus!
In the face of everyone’s accusations, he not only did not feel any remorse, but instead felt confident.
"So what if I just rob you guys? What can you do to me?"
"And you, let me go quickly, or our boss won't let you go!"
He began to resist constantly, but because Cao Xing was too strong, he couldn't break free.
The kid opened his mouth and seemed to want to bite Cao Xing's arm.
But who is Cao?
He wasn't used to this naughty kid, so he slapped him hard.
"Crack!!!"
After a crisp sound, it directly spread out more than ten meters away.
There was silence all around.
Then, there was a burst of applause immediately.
"Good! Good fight!"
"Haha, this kid should be taught a lesson!"
The onlookers were delighted.
At this moment, the left side of this little wolf-like boy's face suddenly became red and swollen.
Cao Xing is now a fourth-level frost mage, with hundreds of powers.
Without using magic, he can easily defeat an entire village with his bare hands.
His slap was gentle. If he had used all his strength, he could have slapped his head away!
The little boy received a slap, and after the initial confusion, he also reacted.
He said viciously: "Asshole! How dare you hit me!"
"I'm telling you, you're done!"
"We, the Ice Toad Gang, will not let you go. You all have to lie down and walk out of Annuohe Village!"
When Cao Xing heard this, a smile appeared on his lips again.
"Crack!"
Another slap in the face.
At this time, the other side of the naughty boy's face also became swollen.
But he was still unruly and uttered some obscene words.
Cao Xing was unmoved and slapped him every time he cursed.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Crisp slaps sounded one after another.
And the intensity became stronger and stronger, and the face of this naughty boy was swollen when he was slapped directly.
The naughty kid didn't dare to say anything at all.
He realized that he seemed to have provoked a ruthless person.
But the boy still seemed unconvinced, with a wolf-like look in his eyes.
Cao Xing saw the look in his eyes and threw him to the ground.
After this kid landed, he jumped up like a loach and was about to run away.
Liu Muxue next to him rushed forward, then connected with [Shield Slam] and slammed it on him.
The huge force carried by the shield came, making him feel as if he had been hit by a huge mountain!
Even several bones in the body were broken!
He was directly slapped and sent flying more than ten meters away.
"Plop!"
The naughty child fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain and screaming.
Seeing this scene, the audience cheered again.
"good!"
"This female knight's skills are so beautiful!"
This shows how much this kid is usually hated.
After Liu Muxue slapped this guy away, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry... I seem to have struck too hard..."
Cao Xing chuckled and said, "It's okay, Mu Xue, this kid can't die."
After hearing this, Liu Muxue felt relieved.
Clean up the naughty children, everyone participates.
Cao Xing slowly came to his side, with a faint smile on his lips.
And as he walked, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from him!
This aura has surpassed the most ferocious monsters and knights that naughty children have ever seen!
It seemed as if Cao Xing could easily crush him to death with just a move of his fingers!
Cao Xing’s gloomy voice sounded.
"Give you a chance, go call all the people from your Ice Toad Gang, and I'll take care of them all together." Safet in front of him was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
Only now did he clearly understand how terrifying this person was!
Even all the people in their so-called Ice Toad Gang would be easily torn apart by this one!
He was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word, and even the pain in his body was suppressed.
At this time, a group of militiamen lined up the onlookers and came over.
The leader was the militia captain who had received Cao Xing at the entrance of the village.
He looked at Safet on the ground, then at Cao Xing, and instantly understood something.
The militia captain came to Cao Xing respectfully and said, "Sir, I'm very sorry to disturb you."
"This kid Safit is ignorant and dares to offend you. According to the village rules, we will arrest him for theft and robbery, and then put him in the dungeon for six months and discipline him well!"
He emphasized the words 'discipline well' at the end.
After speaking, he asked Cao Xing for his opinion.
"My lord, what do you think of this?"
Safet on the ground suddenly had a look of fear in his eyes, "You can't take me away, I'm from the Ice Toad Gang!"
Hearing this, the militiamen said: "What about your Ice Toad Gang? When you come to our Annuo River Village, you must abide by our rules!"
"I didn't catch you earlier because you ran too fast. Now you are caught by this adult. No one can save you this time!"
After hearing this, Safet on the ground realized that he had really failed today.
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy towards Cao Xing.
"Sir! I was wrong. Please forgive me and don't let these militiamen take me away!"
"Sir, please let me go!"
At this moment, everyone on the field looked at Cao Xing, as if seeking his opinion.
As mentioned before, this is a world where strength is respected.
Although Cao Xing did not show his strength, these militiamen knew that he was the lord of Yaskin.
And Yaskin's strength is much stronger than these militiamen.
Cao Xing smiled and said: "Okay, you can take him away and discipline him well."
"No!!!"
Safet on the ground suddenly became desperate.
Before he could say anything more, the group of militiamen walked over and lifted him up.
After saying goodbye to Cao Xing, Safet was taken away by everyone.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding villagers felt even more relieved.
A scourge was finally solved.
At this time, a system prompt appears.
[Attention survivors! You have completed a trial by helping someone who truly needs help. 】
[Knight’s Five Virtues Trial: The progress of the Generosity Trial has been updated. 】
[Current progress: 3/5]
…
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Haha, it turns out that beating people is okay, then this will be much easier!"
It's just that he didn't have the eyesight to deal with this naughty kid, so he came to steal his backpack.
The result was an unexpected surprise.
Now, only the last two of [Generosity Trial] have not been completed.
The goal is close at hand!
Cao Xing couldn't help but become a little excited, and even his steps subconsciously accelerated.
As he walked, Cao Xing waved his palms and practiced his big-mouthed technique.
See if any of the guys come up to the muzzle.
However, along the way, there was no one as blind as that little boy.
At this moment, they walked to another street, where there were many small vendors and shops on both sides.
The streets are very lively, with people coming and going.
Cao Xing just walked to a grocery store.
Suddenly, I saw two tall beings walking out of the grocery store holding a young man with disheveled hair.
After arriving at the gate, they threw the young man out directly.
With a 'pop', the young man was thrown to the ground.
At the same time, several ink paintings were thrown out together.
A middle-aged man with a black mole on his mouth came out cursing.
"You bastard, you dare to entertain me with this kind of painting. I feel unlucky even if you put it in my shop, and you want to ask me for money!"
"Get out of here! If you dare to come again, I will break your legs!"
After hearing this, Cao Xing looked at the paintings on the ground.
Suddenly I understood the reason why this middle-aged man was cursing.
The technique in the painting looks very sophisticated.
However, the content is extremely weird.
On top, there are monsters with ugly appearances and abnormally twisted limbs.
One was a woman with eyes all over her body, holding a dead baby.
The other picture shows a deformed monster with an enlarged head that takes up half of its body.
There is also a baby crawling on the ground, dragging a lot of heads behind it...
Coupled with his black ink painting style, it makes people feel chills on their spines!
Cao Xing said in surprise: "What a guy! If you take this kind of painting to someone else's shop, no wonder someone kicks him out."
At this time, after the young man with messy hair was kicked out, he didn't say much.
He patted the dirt on his body, silently picked up the paintings on the ground, and prepared to leave.
Looking at his lonely back.
Cao Xing glanced at his attributes.
[Wandering Painter: Edward Degas]
[Level: Level 7 (first-level ordinary creature)]
[HP: 560/560]
[Attack power: 32~37]
[Life skills: Advanced painting proficiency, junior cooking proficiency]
[Talent: None]
[Status: insane, cold, hungry]
…
"Oh? He's actually a talent with [Advanced Painting Proficiency]?"
By now, Cao Xing already knows.
In this world, any life skills are divided into: elementary, intermediate and advanced.
Advanced level is already beyond the reach of ordinary people. It requires a lot of practice and hard work day after day to achieve it.
Up there are experts and masters.
Existences of this level are those who have achieved the ultimate in a certain field and are famous. They attract attention wherever they go.
Therefore, advanced life skills are already rare talents.
So Cao Xing stopped the young man.
"Wait a moment."
Hearing the voice, the gloomy young man in front of him slowly turned around and looked at Cao Xing doubtfully.
"What's the matter..."
Cao Xing asked directly: "How much do these paintings cost?"
"You want... to buy my painting?"
There was doubt in his eyes.
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, you can make a price."
The young man looked at Cao Xing carefully, as if to confirm whether he was amusing himself.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "If you really want to buy a painting, it costs 15 kronor per painting..."
Cao Xing thought for a moment.
This price can only be said to be very cheap.
After all, a piece of brown bread costs 1 crown, and a piece of white bread costs 3 crowns.
It can be seen from some of the details in the painting that a lot of time was spent on each painting.
In other words, a decent painting is enough for him to eat for a day.
Cao Xing looked at the large number of paintings in his hand, and then said: "300 crowns, all these paintings are given to me."
Hearing this number, the young man looked like he had seen a ghost.
He said in surprise.
"Are you sure... you are willing to spend so many crowns to buy these paintings of mine?"
Cao Xing nodded.
But the young man was still extremely surprised. He even thought that Cao Xing's brain was burned out.
But at this time, Cao Xing's next words made him fall silent.
"Others don't know, but I can tell that the contents on these portraits are terrifying."
"But every stroke and every bit is full of details and the artist's hard work."
"I believe that people who can draw such works must have superb painting skills and talents."
Upon hearing this, the strangeness in the young man's eyes disappeared, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared.
It's the kind of uncontrollable excitement you get when you suddenly meet someone who can understand you after being treated as a mental illness all the year round!
He suddenly said excitedly: "You are right, I was once a famous painter, and I painted portraits for many nobles!"
"I just had some problems recently, my painting skills are very good!"
"I still..."
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said slumped: "Forget it, that's all in the past..."
"No one wants to believe now that a mentally ill person can paint paintings for nobles..."
But Cao Xing said: "It doesn't matter, I believe you."
After saying that, he took out 300 crowns from his backpack and said, "Now, take this money and sell me your painting."
The young man looked at the pile of crowns with an uncertain look in his eyes again.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally handed the painting in his hand to Cao Xing and took away the crown.
[The transaction is successful, you lost [coins]*300, and you gained [weird paintings]*12...]
…
The young man looked at the coins in his hand and bowed solemnly to Cao Xing!
"Thank you...Thank you, sir..."
There seemed to be a long-suppressed excitement in his eyes.
Money is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he finally met someone who can understand and recognize himself!
A system prompt also appeared in front of Cao Xing.
[Attention survivors! You completed a trial by helping someone who truly needed help. 】
[Knight’s Five Virtues Trial: The progress of the Generosity Trial has been updated. 】
[Current progress: 4/5]
…
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, just as he expected, another test of generosity was completed.
Now, you only need to help the last person who really needs help, and that's all done!
But before that, Cao Xing also wanted to bring the young man in front of him into his territory.
After all, a talent with advanced life skills is still rare.
He asked directly: "I wonder if you are interested in joining my territory?"
"Territory...are you a lord?" the young man asked doubtfully.
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Yes, you have superb painting talent, and this talent should not be buried."
