Chapter 116: Catering to the Refugees
He took the briquettes and beat some wild monsters. It was really nice to have a pet.
Use the bow and arrow to fire the monster, and before the monster can rush forward, the coal ball will collide with it and knock it over. Then add two more arrows, and the coal ball will take two more bites. The monster is often killed before it can get close.
If I continue to develop like this, I am afraid that I will become a purely remote profession.
However, you can't lose sight of melee combat. After all, bows and arrows don't have any advanced supporting martial arts. It's fine in the early stage. Later, when you learn the internal sword skills, you should focus on melee combat.
When the two returned to the village, it was not yet noon. They planned to go back to their home for lunch. To Xiao Jie's surprise, there were people surrounding the ancestral hall for some reason.
What is going on?
Xiao Jie approached and someone immediately made room for him.
"Master Sui Feng, this way, this way."
Xiao Jie couldn't refuse, so he went up to take a look and saw a militiaman posting a notice.
Hey, this is the first time I’ve seen this thing.
But I saw the notice saying——
[Order to recruit refugees:
In view of the recent zombie attack on the village that has caused too many casualties in the village, the population of Ginkgo Village is now withering. The village chief Huang Shidao issued a decree to recruit strong men and go to the forest outside the village to recruit the refugees from the village to replenish the population of the village.
If anyone is willing to accept it, you can come to the village chief's house to accept the task.
The head of Ginkgo Village——Huang Shidao]
Um? Recruiting refugees, are there really refugees?
I have been practicing leveling in the valley for so many days, but I have never seen such a thing as a refugee.
However, he vaguely guessed a certain possibility. It may not have existed before, but maybe it will happen once the order to appease the refugees is posted.
It was as if he had triggered a monster attack on the village mission. If he didn't come early, he wouldn't come later. But he came three days after he investigated the ancient tomb.
If no one investigates the ancient tomb, the monster attack on the village may never happen. This refugee may be of a different nature.
"Brother Feng? Do you want to do this mission?"
"Go to the village chief and ask about the situation before making a decision."
If the reward for the task is generous, there is no harm in doing it.
When the two arrived at the village chief's house, Dongfang Sheng had just finished talking to the village chief.
"Village Chief, please rest assured. I will do my best to search for the refugees and escort them over. Hey, Brother Suifeng, you are at level ten. Congratulations." Dongfang Sheng said and couldn't help but look at the wild boar behind Xiao Jie. It was so big. A big black guy stood out in the house.
"Is this your new pet? It's amazing."
Dongfang Sheng's envy was beyond words.
"I won't interfere with your conversation with the village chief. I'm sorry."
After Dongfang Sheng left in a hurry, Xiao Jie said, "Village Chief, I will do my part in recruiting the refugees, but I don't know what the regulations are for this task."
"Okay, okay, the more people who do this job, the better. Catastrophes came in the early years, and many towns and villages were destroyed by the disasters, so that refugees were everywhere. Now Ginkgo Village is short of people, so it is just right to recruit some refugees to enrich the population. .
Most of the refugees are scattered in the forest outside the village. If you encounter them, bring them back. Remember to recruit more young men and women, and children too. Try not to bring back the old, weak, sick and disabled. It will be a waste of food rations. Of course An exception can be made if you have special skills.
This thing depends entirely on you. For every refugee you bring back, you can receive 100 Wen rewards. Depending on the quality of the refugees, there will be a certain fluctuation. Currently, our Ginkgo Village has a population shortage of 49 people, and we will wait until it is filled. "
[System prompt: Village chief Huang Shidao has issued a task to you [Calming the refugees]. Do you accept it? Yes/No. 】
Xiao Jie said to himself, it turns out that this is the process of replenishing the village's population, and the village's population is actually quite large.
He had previously wondered how to replace these dead NPCs. So... maybe these NPCs in the village were transformed from refugees.
Maybe every time a monster attacks a village, the task of appeasing the refugees will appear.
A villager earns an average of 100 fen, and only the three of them earn. On average, they can only earn 1,000 fen or 2,000 fen.
It was a considerable amount of income. That Dongfang Sheng was in a hurry to leave, maybe because he wanted to find someone first.
"No problem, the village chief will just wait to get people."
The two of them left the village chief's house and were about to leave the village. I wanted to become an immortal but couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Feng, when do we leave Ginkgo Valley?"
"Are you anxious?"
"I mainly want to hand over the magic talisman quickly and see if I can get a job related to magic. After all, I want to--"
"Resurrect your brother, I understand. Don't worry, we should be able to set off tomorrow. Let's appease the refugees today, and then see if we can knock down the bandit camp. There must be good things in that silver treasure chest. Let's go now It's already level ten, so naturally you can't miss it, and then you can set off.
Let's go and appease the refugees first.
The two of them left the village and immediately split up to act. Since the refugees were scattered in the valley, it would be faster to act separately. Fortunately, both of them were already at level ten, so there was no great pressure to act alone.
Xiao Jie led the briquettes and drove straight into the depths of the forest. The monsters in the forest were mainly wild beasts. Because of his talent of beast affinity, it was not easy to trigger battles, which made it easier for him to move.
Moreover, he has quick feet and is efficient in finding people.
Sure enough, after walking not far, I saw a skinny old man hiding fearfully under a big tree.
Old refugee: Level 1, HP 27.
Isn’t this attribute too miserable? Xiao Jie thought to himself that it felt like there was no use taking it back.
Turn around decisively and go around it.
Soon I met another one, this time it was a middle-aged man. Although he was still very thin, he seemed to have at least some strength to work.
Young and Strong Refugee: Level 3, HP 60.
"Uncle, are you here to escape?"
"Yes, little brother, I haven't eaten for several days, please give me something to stutter."
Xiao Jie threw a steamed bun over and asked tentatively: "Do you have any skills?" "I know how to farm."
"Okay, come with me."
After walking not far, I saw another young woman with a withered face. I asked about her specialty and knew how to weave. She took a steamed bun away directly.
After wandering around for a while, Xiao Jie was soon followed by five or six refugees.
The task of appeasing the refugees is still very simple.
There are three main points. First, you must give some food when you meet to prevent you from starving to death. Second, when fighting monsters, try not to let the monsters rush into the crowd of refugees, otherwise they will be scared by the monsters and run away.
The more serious ones will be killed.
These refugees have no fighting power and can be taken care of by any wild monster.
Occasionally, you will encounter a refugee with a wooden stick. This kind of fighting ability is rare among refugees, and it is a little better than the soulless walking corpse.
The third thing is to ask if you have any special skills. There are really useless homeless people who have no skills at all. This kind of people can only be left to fend for themselves.
Although you can do any kind of work, you still need to have some professional ethics when you are doing things for others.
After gathering ten refugees, Xiao Jie did not dare to continue searching, fearing that they would be scattered if there was an accident.
When he returned to the village with the refugees, he found that Dongfang Sheng had already taken eight refugees to register their household registration at the village chief's house.
Dongfang Sheng did not dare to go too far. After all, his level was still relatively low. He only wandered around the village twice, and in order to seize the opportunity, he was not picky about the abilities of the refugees at all. He had all kinds of things.
Huang Shidao (head of Ginkgo Village): "There are eight refugees in total. One is disabled, one is old and weak, three are young and strong, one is a craftsman, and two are children. A total of 634 Wen will be given to support them. Take it."
"So little? Isn't it a hundred cents?" Dongfang Sheng was a little stunned.
"That's a lot. What do you do with a waste like this?" Huang Shidao pointed at the old man and the cripple and said, "Humph, look better next time."
After these refugees were registered, the names on their heads immediately changed. They were originally neutral humanoid monsters, but now they became villagers with green names, and they also had their own names.
Xiao Jie found it interesting. This was the first time he had seen such a vivid game ecology.
Xiao Jie also handed over the refugees he had recruited. Huang Shidao nodded with satisfaction after registering, "You did a good job. There are four young men, three children, two craftsmen, and one brave warrior. A total of 1,189 yuan for the recruitment." Wen, keep up the good work.”
In three hours, each of the three people brought back two groups of refugees.
Because Xiao Jie was a fast runner, he took care of 20 refugees alone and earned a total of 2,341 coins. He felt very happy.
The key is that this kind of mission is not even useful for killing monsters. It's completely free money. It's a pity that there is only such a chance.
Dongfang Sheng worked as a prostitute near the village. He was neither fat nor thin. He also cared for 16 refugees and earned 1,375 Wen.
If I want to become an immortal, it will be more miserable. The second wave of refugees recruited only has half of the population because the population is full.
A total of 13 refugees were cared for. Fortunately, the quality was good, and they earned 1,284 yuan.
"Okay, my Ginkgo Village is full. You guys should leave quickly."
The few remaining homeless people looked at me and I looked at you. They all knelt down and said, "Please take me in."
Huang Shidao was unmoved, "The population is full, no need to say more, leave quickly - Captain Iron, drive these people away."
Due to the large number of refugees joining, Tie Qianli's militia team was once again full, and several newly joined militiamen immediately came over with long guns to drive away the people.
this! Xiao Jie was stunned. He didn't expect Huang Shidao, who was usually kind and kind, to have such a stern side.
These refugees changed their names and immediately became people from Ginkgo Village, showing no mercy to other refugees.
I don’t know if this game is too realistic, or if this game doesn’t consider these details at all.
I wanted to become an immortal but couldn't help but said: "Village Chief, if you drive them out, they will die. Why don't you accept them? It's just a few more people."
Huang Shidao immediately changed his tone for a hero like me who wanted to become an immortal to save Ginkgo Village, and patiently explained: "Little brother, you don't know something. There are only a few of these registered Dingkou. One more person won't do it, and you can't Don't worry, they can go elsewhere if they leave the village. If you feel pity for them, just give them more food."
I wanted to become an immortal but had no choice but to give a few steamed buns to these people.
Watching several people walking out of the village, their figures gradually blurred and disappeared. I was surprised.
"Hey, where is the person?"
"Refresh it. These refugees are all mission monsters. Since the mission has ended, there is no reason for their existence." Xiao Jie said lightly.
He is also somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of thing.
But he doesn't care too much. After playing games for so many years, he has seen too many tragic scenarios. Although this game has a strong sense of immersion, it will not let him break his defense.
But I want to become an immortal, probably because he brought these people back, and I can't let them go.
But when the two of them left the village again, they found that there were no more refugees.
"Look, let me just say this. Don't be upset. These are NPCs spawned by the system. Although they look quite real, they are essentially just data."
I wanted to become an immortal and said, "Come on, Brother Feng, let's go fight the bandits."
Xiao Jie is looking forward to fighting the bandits camp.
It wasn't that he wasn't in a hurry to go to Luoyang Town to learn martial arts. The main reason was that he had limited money in his pocket, and it was impossible to go to Luoyang Town to learn martial arts without money.
The silver treasure chest in the bandit camp must be able to unlock some good things, and it's a good time to test the strength of this level 10 profession before leaving the village.
After leaving Novice Village in the future, I'm afraid there won't be such a mentally retarded monster for them to bully.
Xiao Jie had more than 17,000 Wen in his bag before. Including what he would earn from this, it was exactly 20,000 Wen, which was twenty taels of silver. It was barely enough to learn a good swordsmanship or entry-level internal skills.
However, according to Wang Kai, it costs at least fifty taels of silver to learn a good internal skill, coupled with a sword technique. If you calculate it this way, you will need at least thirty taels of silver to be safer.
Let's go to the bandit camp, we have to make a fortune today.
