Chapter 4 Is this considered saving lives?
“So killing wild monsters can be considered a good deed?”
Looking at the two system prompts that suddenly popped up, Chen Shicheng was a little confused. Killing wild monsters can be considered a good deed! !
Originally, he was still thinking about how to do good deeds. He thought he would save lives and heal the wounded every day. He was planning to find a doctor or other sub-career as soon as he found Novice Village.
He never expected that the wild monsters that can be seen everywhere on the roadside would bring him such a big surprise. Isn’t this how he could make money just by standing there!
Unfortunately, a level 1 wild monster can only get one point of merit. If you extract it three times a day, you can only get three points of merit a day.
One point of merit is equivalent to a year of hard training in skills, and it cost me 26 points to perfect the most basic sword skills. If I just rely on killing wild monsters, I want to master another skill. It takes 9 days to reach the level! ! !
Isn’t this a joke?
Looks like we need to find other ways to gain merit!
Chen Shicheng turned his eyes to the window of the ruined temple. The little girl crawled back out of nowhere and was looking at him intently.
Seeing Chen Shicheng making provocative faces at her, the little girl whispered unconvinced, "Why are you so proud? If my brother-in-law were here, he would have killed all those bandits long ago."
"Your brother-in-law. No matter how awesome he is, he's not here now. If you have the ability, let him fly over!"
Chen Shicheng took some time to tease the little girl, ignored him and hummed in anger, and followed the routine just now. The bandits on the periphery were lured over one by one to deal with them.
Although this wasted a lot of time, the security was greatly improved. He didn't want to underestimate the enemy and be shown off by wild monsters like before.
It’s not that I’m afraid of the 100% realistic pain level in the game, it’s mainly that I don’t want to embarrass myself to the NPC. After all, the little girl is looking at him unconvinced.
That’s it, in After more than ten minutes of attracting and killing monsters, only the last bandit was left standing around the entrance of the ruined temple.
Looking at the bandit captain with Level 2 on his head, Chen Shicheng hesitated for a moment.
Although my basic sword skills at the perfection level can easily kill a level one bandit, the process is not that simple.
Even with the skill's passive effect of "reducing energy consumption by 40%", after killing six bandits, he was still out of breath, and the Tang sword that he wielded like a command became heavy.
When he thought that the bandit captain might be stronger than ordinary bandits, Chen Shicheng decided to use tricks.
"Girl."
"What are you doing?"
"Do me a favor and make some noise at the door, and I will kill the last bandit from behind."
"Say thank you!"
"?"
Chen Shicheng looked at the proud-looking little girl and chewed her teeth, and reluctantly said "thank you".
As if she had won the battle, the little girl broke free from the old man's obstruction and ran to the door, and started taking pictures at the door.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound rang out, and the bandit captain at the door who didn't realize that he was alone immediately stopped circling and rushed directly to the gate of the ruined temple, completely unaware of what was behind him. Chen Shicheng approached sneakily.
Considering his remaining physical strength and the hardness of his spine, he reluctantly gave up the idea of beheading him with one knife, and settled for the next best thing, stabbing the bandit captain in the waist.
"Pfft!"
Tang Dao lived up to his expectations and directly penetrated him.
But there are advantages to not being sane. The bandit captain did not react like ordinary people when he was suddenly stabbed. He completely ignored the pain and panic and turned to Chen Shicheng and swept away the entire army.
“Holy shit!”
Without enough time to pull out the Tang Dao stuck in his muscles, Chen Shicheng immediately let go and lay down.
He instinctively wanted to turn over and stand up, but the bandit captain did not pause at all. He stepped forward and raised his sword towards Chen Shicheng on the ground in a charging movement. The muscles in his body instantly expanded the blood vessels to the naked eye. visible. "Be careful!" The little girl inside the door slapped the door frantically, trying to attract the attention of the bandit captain.
Her actions had no effect, but Chen Shicheng did not sit still and wait for death.
During the pause when the bandit captain raised his sword to gather strength, he did not retreat but rolled like a lazy donkey to the bandit captain's feet.
At the same time, the knife in the bandit's hand was also chopped off with a bang.
Cleave!
Phew!
The thick-backed machete struck the ground with a harsh whistling sound.
Just as the Tang sword was stuck in the muscles and could not be pulled out in time, the bandit captain's drawing action after the sword sank into the ground just revealed a flaw.
Chen Shicheng seized the opportunity and stood up, grabbed the handle of the Tang Dao, and made a strong downward stroke.
"Crash"
Suddenly, yellow, white, red, and all kinds of sewer poured out.
The bandit, whose abdomen shriveled up, fell to the ground without saying a word, twitched twice and stopped moving.
[Kill the Lv.2 soulless bandit captain, double the experience of skipping the level kill, gain 8 experience points, and receive 11 copper coins. (The skill has not been obtained and cannot be upgraded. The experience value has been stored in the experience pool.)]
[Kill the Lv.2 soulless bandit captain and activate the special effect of the sky-stealing pendant. Do you want to extract 1 point of this merit? . (Remaining times: 3/3)]
[Save the lives of the grandfather and grandson, and activate the special effects of the Sky-Stealing Pendant. Do you want to extract 20 merit points this time? (Remaining times 3/3)]
“Huh?”
Looking at the system prompts on the panel, Chen Shicheng was confused.
It was obviously him who went out to kill the wild monsters. The grandfather and grandson had already hid in the ruined temple. They could survive as long as the wild monsters dispersed. If their lives were not in danger, could it be considered saving lives?
There were too few control groups, and he could not figure out the operating mechanism of his ancient relic for a while, so he could only give up temporarily.
But these 20 points of merit are so delicious. The ancients are right, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!
[Special effects are used successfully, merit +20. (Remaining times 2/3)]
[merits: 51]
Seeing that the merits consumed by basic sword skills had returned to close to the previous value, Chen Shicheng felt that he had finally paid off. Kill these monsters.
In addition to merit, the seven wild monsters also contributed 32 experience points and 29 copper coins to him. Unfortunately, the experience points cannot be used yet, and the purchasing power of the copper coins is unknown.
Just when Chen Shicheng was thinking about the prices in the game, the door of the ruined temple opened with a creak, and the little girl ran out and squatted beside him and asked worriedly.
"Are you okay?"
"What can be the matter?" In order to prove himself, Chen Shicheng punched his chest twice, "See, he's no worse than my uncle."< br>
“Thank you, young hero, for risking your life to save me. I have nothing to repay.”
“Stop!” Chen Shicheng stretched out his hand to interrupt the old man who came out behind the little girl, “Why do you want to be a cow or a horse in the next life? Let’s not talk about it. Let me ask you a question first.”
“Um, please tell me,” the old man said with some embarrassment.
"Where is the nearest village from here?"
