Chapter 111 The village chief’s mysterious reward
The next day, when Xiao Jie entered the game again, the mess in the village yesterday had completely disappeared. It seemed as if nothing had happened. There were only significantly fewer villagers and a few buildings that had not been repaired. The house made Xiao Jie clearly realize that the battle did happen.
Xiao Jie couldn't wait to open his backpack and check out some of the trophies he got yesterday.
Especially [Shura Ghost Mask], this is the first purple outfit he got, which is very memorable. It is a ferocious evil ghost mask with sharp fangs and a ghost eye between the eyebrows. I have to say , it looks pretty cool.
Wear it directly on your head and drag the equipment skills to the shortcut bar. It feels much more powerful instantly.
Walking on the streets of the village, the voices of villagers greeting me suddenly rang in my ears.
"Good morning, Young Master Yin Yue."
Hey, what does it mean to become Young Master Yin Yue?
"Morning, Warrior Yin Yue, come and try the steamed buns I just made. They are hot right out of the pan."
It happened that the satiety level was a little low, so Xiao Jie was ready to buy a few.
"How much?"
"Hey, what do you want for the money? This is a little idea of mine, just take it and eat it." The owner of the food shop looked generous, not at all the philistine of the past.
"By the way, Warrior Yin Yue, from now on, whenever you buy food from me, it will be half price for you."
so good?
Xiao Jie vaguely felt that this should be the benefit brought by the improvement of reputation to worship.
As we walked along, sure enough, almost all the villagers we met took the initiative to say hello, each one more enthusiastic than the last.
I ran to the drugstore and took a look, and sure enough, the drugstore also changed the cost price. It used to be 50 Wen for a bottle of Xiaohong, but now it is 30 Wen.
When Xiao Jie came to the blacksmith shop, he happened to see Zhou Tong scolding Wang Kai.
"You're such a careless kid. I was fighting my best over there but you didn't know where you went. It made me worried to death. I thought you were being eaten by zombies."
"Master, please stop talking. I had no choice at that time. I was surrounded by a group of zombies and couldn't escape, so I had to hide in an empty house. Fortunately, I was not found..."
Xiao Jie watched with amusement, but sometimes he still had some bad taste.
Zhou Tong immediately stopped scolding Xiao Jie when he saw him coming in, "Oh, isn't this Brother Yinyue? Come on, come on, I was able to thank you for yesterday."
"Master Zhou, help me repair my weapon."
"I'll do it for you right away."
There was a jingling sound, "Okay, a total of 125 Wen."
So cheap! As expected, worship is great. It used to cost 50 coins to repair a hatchet, but now two blue weapons only cost 125 coins.
After finishing the repairs, Xiao Jie went straight to the village chief's house.
The real benefits haven’t been received yet, and I don’t know what rewards the village will give.
When I walked to the door of the village chief's mansion, I found that the other three were already here.
"Brother Feng, why did you come here? Come on, come on, the village chief has great benefits." I said excitedly.
"Have you received your rewards?"
"Yes, and you can claim the reward yourself. You can just ask for whatever you want. It's so cool."
So powerful? Xiao Jie was a little surprised. He thought the reward was fixed.
He couldn't wait to walk into the village chief's mansion. In the living room, Huang Shidao was looking at the two portraits hanging on the wall, lost in thought.
Xiao Jie had seen this portrait last time he came here, but he didn't pay attention at all at that time. Now he took a closer look and found that it was a man and a woman, two figures in ancient costumes.
The handsome men and warrior women look very classy compared to the old-fashioned villagers in the village.
"Ah, little brother, you are finally here. When I first met you and your brother, I knew that you were not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that you would end up in such a situation. It is considered fate."
Xiao Jie felt dejected for a while... Han Luo, it's a pity. If Han Luo was here, the two of them would have performed better together yesterday.
"I also want to thank my father-in-law for his concern."
"Haha, it's easy to say. I came to you today to give you a reward. In yesterday's battle, although others fought bravely to kill the enemy, you still remained calm in critical moments and could come up with clever strategies to defeat the enemy. It is really rare. , it can be said that you are the savior of my Ginkgo Village. If you have any requests, just ask, as long as I can, I will try my best to help you. "
You can actually make your own requests? Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised, so we have to think about it carefully. However, if we think about it carefully, we still have nothing in need. The key is that we don’t know what rewards the old village can provide. If there is anything that we really want, Undoubtedly it was the incense burner.
This thing is equivalent to a weakened version of the wish-making technique. It would be great if I could get eight out of ten, and if I needed anything in the future, I could just ask my ancestors to make a wish.
"Village Chief, if it's possible, I wonder if you could give me some bundles of your incense."
Huang Shidao couldn't help but laughed bitterly: "You, you, you really dare to think that it is so easy to get a few bundles. That is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. Use one less one, not me. I can’t bear to part with it, because if the village is in trouble in the future, I still need to make a wish to my ancestors, so I can’t waste it.”
As the old village chief spoke, he told the origin of the incense.
Huang Shidao's ancestors were the boy and girl who were saved by the immortal when Ginkgo Village was established seven hundred years ago.
Although his two ancestors encountered great disasters, they were also blessed in disguise. They learned some spells from the immortals and did many great things in conquering demons and demons outside.
However, the two of them were not destined to be immortals, and they could not become immortals after all. After getting old and frail, they returned to Ginkgo Village, built this ancestral hall, and set up a spirit-gathering circle so that the tablets enshrined in it could gather incense, mind, and form. God, send blessings.
He also left 108 incense sticks for future generations. These incense can be used to make wishes to the ancestors and seek help when the village is in danger.
Now, after seven hundred years, only a few roots remain.
Xiao Jiexin said it was true or not, it didn't feel so exaggerated when you gave me that one.
"The one my father-in-law gave me back then..."
"Although I don't know the magic of immortality, I do know a thing or two about the art of fortune-telling. When I saw your face that day, you looked like a dragon lurking in the abyss. You will be extraordinary one day, so I reluctantly gave you one in the hope of forming a good relationship. Fate, but now there is no more.”
The more Xiao Jie listened, the more nonsense he felt. Why did this old man look like a fortune teller in the park? He instinctively felt that this guy was deceiving him. He probably just couldn't bear to burn incense.
But he couldn't force him, so he could only sigh: "That's such a pity."
"Hey, let's not talk about regrets. I have an idea that may satisfy my little brother. You might as well listen to it.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, demons and monsters are in chaos, and various states and capitals are separatist and self-defeating. Our Ginkgo Village can only defend itself once and for all.
I think you are brave and resourceful, and you are just the right person to be an official. Why don't you learn to govern the village with me and do things for me for the time being? If one day I am destined to go see my ancestors, the post of head of Ginkgo Village will be handed over to me. Here it is, what do you think? Although the village chief is not very big, it can still be regarded as an official position, and this official position can be regarded as a reward for you. "
[System prompt: Trigger the hidden errand [Village Chief’s Apprentice], accept it or not, yes/no. 】
Damn it, there is such an errand? Village chief - apprentice? Why does this sound so weird?
It felt like there should be good development prospects, but after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Jie did not accept it.
The prospect of this job is still very good. Xiao Jie speculates that once he becomes the village chief, there is likely to be a subsequent promotion route.
The military officer profession can be promoted, so the village chief, as the lowest level of civil servants, may also be promoted gradually.
But although the job was good, it still required him to stay in Ginkgo Village. He still had revenge to avenge, and he also had to learn skills and level up. What was the point of staying in this big-ass Novice Village?
Besides, who knows when you, Village Chief Huang, will die? If you don’t die, won’t it mean that I will keep working for you in vain?
This kind of uncertainty always feels like someone has taken the cake.
"I'm sorry, fame and fortune are like clouds to me. I really have no interest in being an official. I just want to conquer demons and bring peace to the world. How about this? Since the two ancestors of the village chief learned from the immortals, I don’t know if there are any immortal dharma or the like that have been handed down, so just give me two copies as a reward.”
"Hey, this is too difficult for someone to do. In seven hundred years, even if there are one or two secret books, they have long since disappeared and are nowhere to be found."
"Since you don't want to accept this job, let's do this. I have a house deed to Ginkgo Village here as your reward. If you get tired of staying outside in the future, you can come back here and take a look."
[System prompt: After obtaining the mission reward [Ginkgo Village House Deed], you have obtained a house and enable the house construction function. This function is the hidden gameplay of this game. You can increase the furnishings in the house by purchasing furniture. You can also add decorations to the house. Houses add incidental amenities related to professional skills. 】
Forehead? He was actually given such a thing.
Xiao Jie opened his backpack and took a look.
[House Deed (Scroll)
Use: See where your property is located.
Item description: A real estate certificate, a certificate of a residence located in Ginkgo Village, an item of great value. 】
Xiao Jie clicked to check and found that the property was right behind the village chief's house, next to the ginkgo tree and the ancestral hall. The location was quite good. It was within the "first ring" range of Ginkgo Village.
Okay, although it’s not the most wanted incense secret book, it should still be of some value.
Xiao Jie walked out of the village chief's house, and the three people outside immediately approached him.
"How's it going? What reward did you get?"
"Deed, I own a house."
Xiao Jie said with a smile, but couldn't help but feel speechless. In reality, he hadn't bought a house yet.
Ye Luo said enviously: "This is a good thing. If you don't want it anymore, you can sell it for money. It's very valuable."
"How valuable is it?"
"Not sure, but it should be no problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands."
Let me go, is it so valuable? Wouldn't that be more valuable than a real house?
Jiangbei City is a third-tier small city, and housing prices have never been very high, especially with the recent decline in the real estate market. A house of 60 to 70 square meters only costs 4 to 50 million, which is more expensive than a real house.
"What reward did you get?"
I want to become an immortal and said: "My reward is the map of Fengyin State. I asked the village chief how to get to Baiyun Temple in Bixia Mountain, and the village chief gave me this. After using it, I opened most of the map of Fengyin State, but It’s not fully open, and several high-level dangerous areas are still dark.”
Xiao Jie thought that this thing is quite good. The maps in this game are all dark and need to be explored before they can be displayed. Now most of the maps are opened directly, which will be very helpful for adventure leveling in the short term.
Dongfang Sheng said: "My reward is a [letter of introduction]. Giving it to the state pastor can enhance the prestige of the state capital."
Xiao Jie immediately realized Dongfang Sheng's plan, "Are you going to change your profession to a military general?"
Dongfang Sheng said: "Yes, the only thing missing now is the riding skills. As long as you learn the riding skills before level 10, you can transfer to a general by then. I heard that the riding skills are relatively expensive. Fortunately, I saved some money. That should be enough.”
Military generals should be regarded as relatively high-end existences among the basic professions.
"Congratulations."
"Haha, I also want to thank you all for taking me to the battle."
Ye Luo also said, "What I got is the [Donkey Whistle]."
"Donkey whistle? What is that?"
"It's just a mount. It can be used without riding skills."
After saying that, Ye Luo whistled loudly, and a donkey was summoned out of thin air. It ran to Ye Luo with a grunt. Ye Luo jumped up and ran around the village chief's house. Not to mention, he ran pretty fast.
Wait for Yeluo to ride back to the three of them on his donkey.
Xiao Jie couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why did you want such a thing?"
"I'm leaving Novice Village. It's easier to have a mount. I'm waiting for you here just to say goodbye." Ye Luo said calmly.
Although he was mentally prepared, Xiao Jie still felt a little sad when he heard the news.
"So we're going to separate?"
"Don't sound so sad. Sooner or later, Novice Village will have to leave. You are now at level nine, and you are probably leaving soon. After I finish my professional mission, I should be practicing around Luoyang Town. Wait until you arrive in Luoyang The town will probably encounter it.”
"Then let's form a team together then?"
This time, Ye Luo rarely refused.
"Okay, but you have to hurry up and upgrade. If the level difference is too big, I won't be too lazy to take you."
"Haha, don't worry, we are only two levels behind now, and we will catch up with you sooner or later."
"Then it depends on your ability." Ye Luo said narrowly, "Then I'll say goodbye to you."
After saying that, he rode his donkey and galloped towards the outside of the village.
Although it was said that we would see each other again sooner or later, Xiao Jie felt inexplicably sad about parting as he watched Ye Luo disappear outside the village gate.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Jie said to himself that there was no need to sigh, and he should upgrade quickly.
