Chapter 3 Novices who don’t hang out in Novice Village
Standing under the 2.3-meter-high city gate in front of him, Ji Xiaoyan looked at the NPC Dilock walking in front of him in silence. What is this? A superior town one level larger than Novice Village? The difference of one level is only that big, she guessed it must be several levels different. Not to mention the spiders in Xinshou Village, she walked around most of the streets in the village and also looked outside the village. Why, the "wall" in Novice Village where bamboo pieces were inserted into the ground as a fence and the current 2.3-meter-high bluestone city wall are quite different! Although she didn't see what the village's "village gate" looked like, the thickness of the city gate in front of her was at least as big as her palm. Ji Xiaoyan sighed with emotion. A big city is really awesome. While thinking about it, she followed her NPC grandfather along the city gate towards the town.
There were many guards standing at the gate of the city, holding spears and shields. There were many patterns on the shields. Even looking at them from a distance, they felt very delicate and valuable. Well, in Ji Xiaoyan's view, these things are directly equated with money. The city gate is huge. From time to time, many players of all kinds come noisily into the city. Of course, some players still focused their attention on Ji Xiaoyan. However, it is basically estimated that Ji Xiaoyan is a "country bumpkin" who climbed up from Novice Village to New Town with great difficulty.
Although when choosing a novice village, everyone can choose by themselves by looking at the image, but from the novice village to a new town, the village chief will randomly teleport it to you. In the Novice Village, basically nothing will be exploded for you. There are NPCs in the village who will give you some small tasks, so that you can do some tasks while you are fighting monsters to upgrade. You can upgrade early, get out of the Novice Village, and go out to cause harm to others. So, basically when you arrive in a new town, you are still wearing the novice clothes you were born in. Therefore, Ji Xiaoyan, a rookie who came to the new town at level 0, did not attract anyone's special attention at all. Otherwise, she might have been watched in various ways. The setting of the game "Initiation" is also very realistic. Basically, the monsters in the game do not drop gold coins, and the drop rate of equipment is also very small. Only humanoid monsters can drop gold and silver coins. Think about it, can beasts use money? Of course, there are also some special animals that will drop gold coins, that is, animals that naturally like to collect shiny things. Can I give you an example? Everyone knows that dragons will definitely drop gold coins. However, at this stage, dragons are probably slaying people. If you want to slay dragons, just wait! If you want money in the game, it's easy to do it. You can accept NPC tasks, or kill monsters, or get some of the fur, skin, etc. that the monsters shed, and the NPC will still take the money. Of course, the fastest way is to directly exchange federal coins for game coins. However, if you haven't left the Novice Village, you don't have to think about it. There is an exchange hall only when you arrive in the town.
After entering the city gate, Ji Xiaoyan felt his blood rush to the top of his head as soon as he saw the crowded streets and shops. So excited, there are so many people, this is just a small town as Grandpa NPC said, more people = equipment can be sold = federal currency. Of course, at this time, Ji Xiaoyan didn't know that money could be exchanged directly. She thought it was like in her previous life, where she took a screenshot of the equipment, linked it to some trading platform, and then traded the equipment in the game, and then credited it to her bank card. of. Ji Xiaoyan stood there with a silly smile on his face and looked at the crowd. Dilock took a few steps and turned around to find his new granddaughter standing there dumbfounded. He thought she was dumbfounded by the prosperity of the city. He walked back to her with a doting look on his face, touched her head and said, "My child, don't stand there stupidly. Go home with grandpa first. There will be plenty of time to take a look later."
Ji Xiaoyan came back to his senses, nodded excitedly and said, "Well, well, okay grandpa." We need to be sweeter. This will be our backer in the future, Ji Xiaoyan thought to himself.
Follow Dilock and walk along the street. The players around him are all busy with their own things. Even if they see Ji Xiaoyan and Dilock walking in front of her, not many people pay attention. The NPCs in "Initiation" have a lot of freedom. They can also go shopping and buy things. When the game was launched, many people tried to find NPCs to take on hidden tasks and the like, following the NPCs around and asking questions. As a result, the NPC was furious and killed the player directly. Later, Shengshidai Company came forward to give players a piece of advice. Hidden tasks and the like depended on the player's luck. NPCs also have lives. If players keep pestering you and cause the NPC's favorability to drop, the NPC can also kill you. In a word, it's your luck to find an NPC to take on a hidden mission. Later, the players calmed down and only came together to help enthusiastically when they found that the NPC was suspected of encountering difficulties. Of course, very few actually encountered hidden tasks.
After walking around several street corners, Ji Xiaoyan finally followed Dilock to the door of a small courtyard. Dilock took out a key, unlocked it, and said to her: "Child, this is our backyard. , your grandma Jasmine is guarding the shop in the front yard, will you live here with us from now on?
"Okay! "Ji Xiaoyan was very straightforward.
Dilock happily took Ji Xiaoyan into the small courtyard. There was a row of wooden houses in the yard and a small garden. When he walked to the row of houses, Dilock pointed to a lush tree. He opened the small door next to the big tree and said to her: "You can live in this room from now on. Go in and see if you like it. If there is anything missing, tell grandpa and grandpa will go out and buy it for you soon." ”
Ji Xiaoyan opened the door and was a little touched when she saw the neat furniture and many beautiful hangings inside. When I got here, I lived in a hut assigned by the "Beggars' Gang". It didn't even have good furniture, just a bed with a few wooden boards and a few rags, and wooden walls that seemed to be blown by the wind. Compared with the bright and clean hut now, it is like heaven and earth! Although this was just a game, Ji Xiaoyan was still very touched. This cheap grandpa in front of him was so kind to him. There is no need to worry about the NPC's intentions against her in the game, she is just a level 0 little person who can be seen everywhere. Moreover, Diloc's heartfelt smile made her feel so warm.
"Thank you, grandpa, I like it very much. No need to buy anything."
Dilok patted Ji Xiaoyan's shoulder lovingly, "Don't save money for grandpa, just give him what you want. Grandpa said. "
Ji Xiaoyan nodded and looked at Di Luo in front of him. Ke said: "I really don't need anything anymore, Grandpa, I'll talk to you again later, okay?"
"Okay, okay, good boy, come, put your things down with Grandpa, Grandpa will take you to the front I'll see your grandma Jasmine in the courtyard shop, she will be extremely happy," Dilok said happily.
After putting down some of the things he brought from Novice Village, Dilok asked Ji Xiaoyan to change into some clothes. Ji Xiaoyan looked at them carefully while holding them in his hand. They had no attributes and were typical decorative clothes. After passing through the small garden, we came to the shop in front. The first thing you see is many cabinets with many glass bottles filled with colorful water. "These are potions sold to adventurers. The red ones are qi and blood potions, and the blue ones are magic potions..." Dilok briefly introduced them to Ji Xiaoyan. But Ji Xiaoyan was thinking in his heart, it was worth recognizing his grandpa. Just kidding, the potion seller is the most prosperous business in the game. Who can kill monsters without bringing some potions to defend themselves?
"Jasmine, Jasmine" Diloch shouted. Ji Xiaoyan saw an old woman selling things to players at the counter in front of her. She quickly collected the money and turned around. Diloc waved to her, motioning for her to come over. So, Jasmine told the young man who was selling things next to her and walked over.
"Jasmine, this is Ji Xiaoyan, our granddaughter." Dilock was happy to introduce Jasmine to you. When Ji Xiaoyan saw this very kind old lady, she looked at her in surprise, then pulled Dilock and asked, "Old man, what's going on?" Dilock told Jasmine excitedly about meeting Ji Xiaoyan. After listening, Jasmine also felt that the little girl in front of her was quite pleasing to the eye, and she didn't have the eyes of other adventurers that made their eyes light up when they saw them.
"Old man, you have to go to the government hall quickly and help your child register and settle down." Jasmine said in a good mood when she saw Ji Xiaoyan.
"Well, I'm going to go right away. Wouldn't I show it to you first to make you happy?" Dilock was also very happy. His wife also liked the new granddaughter.
“Go quickly, go quickly, I will take care of the child.” Jasmine hugged Ji Xiaoyan and said.
"Okay, I'll go right away, I see how anxious you are!" Dilok said, "Xiaoyan, you follow grandma here, grandpa will get you an ID card!" Ji Xiaoyan rolled her eyes in her heart, she This body is 20 years old, does it look like a disobedient child? But she still said obediently: "Well, okay, grandpa, you go early and come back early."
Dilock left with a bright face. Jasmine pulled Ji Xiaoyan to the counter in front and said to her: "Xiaoyan, there are many adventurers going out of the city to buy potions to improve their strength. Grandma doesn't have time to accompany you. Can you help grandma sell the potions together?"
"Okay" Ji Xiaoyan was very happy, she liked the feeling of receiving money.
Jasmine is very happy and her granddaughter is very good. "Look, Xiaoyan, the boy is Jill and the girl is Gina. They are two brothers and sisters. They are all the guys your grandfather hired to help. If you don't understand anything, you can ask them when your grandparents are not around." Ji Xiaoyan looked at the man and woman in front of the counter and nodded.
Then, Jasmine handed Ji Xiaoyan a page of paper, "Here are the prices of several basic potions." Ji Xiaoyan looked at the paper and read, Elementary Qi and Blood Potion, 5 silver coins a bottle, Elementary Magic potion, 5 silver coins a bottle, primary tenacity potion, 10 silver coins a bottle...
"Quite cheap!" Ji Xiaoyan thought to himself. She didn't know that if she really dared to say that, the players buying potions at the counter would all trample her to death. I know the exchange rate between federal currency and game currency. 1 federal currency can only be exchanged for 1 silver coin, not counting transaction tax. If you kill monsters to explode materials and sell them, you have to kill hundreds of them before you can sell them for 1 silver coin. Basically, a monster can explode something worth 7.8 copper coins at most. A bottle of qi and blood potion costs 5 silver coins. How expensive is that? 1,000 copper plates = 1 silver coin, 1,000 silver coins = 1 gold coin. You can imagine how many monsters you have to kill to buy a potion.
