After walking for about 10 minutes, Liu Xuan was surprised to find that the so-called treasure hiding place was actually a cemetery.
The entire cemetery is surrounded by a row of simple fences, with a tall stone monument standing in the middle. There are densely packed small mounds all around. Under a big tree next to the cemetery, a hunchbacked old man with white hair and beard was leaning on a deck chair to enjoy the cool breeze.
When the old man saw Liu Xuan approaching, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Young man, what are you doing here?"
Liu Xuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He couldn't say that he was here to dig for treasures.
"Well, grandpa, I was just wandering around with nothing to do, and I accidentally came here."
"Oh, that's it. Since you are free, I wonder if you can do me a favor, old man."
Liu Xuan's eyes lit up. Could this be a special hidden mission? Thinking of this, he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, grandpa, please tell me."
The old man straightened up with a smile and pointed to the mountain road ahead: "Look, this mountain road is full of potholes. I almost fell down and rolled down the mountain several times. Can you help me get some gravel to make up for it?"
Liu Xuan chuckled: "No problem, I'll go right away."
"Okay, okay, the tools are right at the door. Go get them."
Liu Xuan nodded and picked up the tools, then began to look around for suitable rocks. It took him more than twenty minutes to finally fill in the mountain road in front of him.
After walking around on it, the old man patted Liu Xuan on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Thank you, young man."
After saying that, he returned to the recliner and continued his lunch break.
Seeing that the system did not pop up any rewards or prompts to complete the task, Liu Xuan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard of any treasures or anything like that around here?"
"I've heard about it. It's been rumored for many years. Even the gatekeeper of our village, Dahuang, came here to dig for treasures. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything."
Liu Xuan's eyes couldn't help but twitch. Is this dog planner using him as a dog?
Seeing the ugly expression on Liu Xuan's face, the old man couldn't help but smile and said: "Young man, are you here to hunt for treasures too?"
Liu Xuan nodded awkwardly: "Ahem, I heard someone said there is a treasure here, so I came here to take a look. Grandpa, please continue to rest. I still have some things to do down the mountain, so I won't disturb your rest for now. .”
"Hey, don't worry." The old man hurriedly grabbed his hand and said with a smile.
"Now that you're here, help the old man and I'll go hunt down two pheasants and come back. I haven't tasted meat for a long time even though I've been here."
Liu Xuan wanted to refuse. After all, time is money now, and he had no time to waste here. But looking at the old man's pitiful appearance, Liu Xuan finally nodded.
After beating the pheasant back, he saw the old man struggling to carry a bucket of water to clean the stone tablet, so he hurried forward to help.
After that, the old man asked him to help with several things. Although Liu Xuan was in a hurry, he chose to do it one by one based on the principle of starting and finishing everything.
By the time he finally helped the old man roast the chicken, almost two hours had passed.
Looking at the chicken drumsticks that the old man handed him, he quickly declined and said, "Senior, you can eat it. I really have something urgent to do down the mountain and I have to leave."
The old man chuckled, put down the roast chicken in his hand and wiped his hands.
"Those buried here are all soldiers who died while resisting the invasion of foreigners. It's not too late for you to come with me and offer them a stick of incense before leaving."
Liu Xuan had no choice but to nod when he heard this. Anyway, he had been delayed for long enough before, and he didn't care about this moment.
After the two of them walked to the stone tablet and bowed respectfully, the old man said with some meaning: "There are many people who can come here today, but you are the first one who can persist until now."
Liu Xuan heard this and was about to ask, when the old man took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to him.
"I have been carrying this jade pendant with me for many years. Now that you and I are destined, I will give it to you."
Liu Xuan understood immediately when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for the generous gift!"
The old man waved his hand: "Okay, there are still many things waiting for you to do under the mountain, so don't waste your time here with me, an old man like me. I hope you guardians can really fight for a glimmer of life for our human race."
As the old man finished speaking, Liu Xuan felt his eyes go dark. When he opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him had changed drastically. The original cemetery had turned into a dense forest. The old man has also disappeared.
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the test of the old man guarding the tomb. You have gained 200 experience points, 20 combat merits, X1 Heroic Soul Jade, and X20 copper coins."
As the system beep sounded, Liu Xuan's level was directly raised to level 2.
This prompt put a smile on Liu Xuan's face, and he quickly opened his backpack to check.
Treasure name: Jade of Heroic Soul
Effect 1: Lucky value +100
Effect 2: After use, you can obtain the blessing of the ancient heroic soul (only valid for the first time)
Treasure level: ss
Description: An ancient jade that brings together the power of ancient heroic souls. The owner can receive blessings from heaven and earth.
After Liu Xuan clicked to use it, an additional skill appeared in his skill bar.
Skill Name: King Xiang’s Power
Skill Type: Passive
Effect: Increase own strength by 200%.
This attribute made Liu Xuan's face suddenly show a look of ecstasy. After equipping this jade pendant, his luck value has reached an astonishing 110 points, which is more than ten times that of ordinary players.
And the bonus effect of the king's power made his attack directly increase from 25 points to 69 points after adding all the points!
If this thing were sold, Liu Xuan would probably be able to make a small profit or two immediately.
On the way back, Liu Xuan discovered another surprising fact. He had been in that illusion for almost two hours, but only less than 20 minutes had passed in reality.
The time difference between inside and outside was six times, and he couldn't help but wonder how the game company did it.
After returning to the village, Liu Xuan did not go looking for newbie tasks. Instead, he spent all his money to buy some red and blue medicines, and then went straight to the leveling area outside the village.
Most players today are at a similar level to him, having just reached level 2. So now the areas with level 1 and level 2 monsters are almost full of people.
"Bring level 2 murlocs to get a better output, and I'll leave you with a handicap..."
"7 Lucky Assassins find a fixed team to level up."
"The big-breasted little lolita asks the boss to take her away..."
Looking at the group advertisements all over the sky, Liu Xuan ignored them and continued walking deeper into the jungle.
However, not long after he arrived at the level 3 wild boar forest, five players who were leveling aside directly stopped him.
"Stop, kid! This place has been taken over by our 'Dynasty' guild. No one else is allowed to enter!"
Hearing that the other party was from the [Dynasty], Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly showed a murderous intent: "I'm just passing by, do you want to take care of this?"
"I told you, no idlers are allowed in! Don't you understand human language?" the leader of the assassin named [Jie Liuzi] said with an arrogant expression.
Liu Xuan sneered and continued to stride forward.
"Looking for death! Brothers, kill him!"
Hearing the captain's words, the four team members on the side all smiled evilly and rushed towards Liu Xuan.
When Liu Xuan saw this, he did not choose to fight, but ran away.
But his movement speed is obviously not as fast as the assassin with full agility. Only half a minute later, he was already caught up by [Jie Liuzi].
Just when Jie Liuzi laughed strangely and was about to activate his skills, Liu Xuan's body suddenly turned back, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon out of the sea, stabbing him directly.
-136 (Cloud Piercer)
The assassin's initial physical constitution was only 2 points, and even after being upgraded to level 2, his health points had just reached 130 points. He was unable to block Liu Xuan's violent blow and was instantly killed on the spot.
Seeing [Jie Liuzi] turn into white light and dissipate, the people who were chasing after him were startled. He quickly stopped rushing forward
Upon seeing this, Liu Xuan glanced at a few people with some disdain. After picking up the red and blue medicine bottles that fell on the ground, he continued to rush forward with his gun in hand. The most important thing right now is leveling up, and he won't waste his precious time on this group of minions.
The remaining four people looked at each other in disbelief and did not dare to continue chasing. They could only report the news to the guild management.
The current president of the Dynasty Guild is Wang Tao. His game ID is [Dynasty Hegemony] and he is a warrior.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, he just frowned: "Forget it if he runs away. There is no need to waste time chasing him if he is just an individual. I sent his ID to the group later, and the brothers who saw him asked more people to focus on him. It’s just a matter of seconds.”
Little did he know that his decision would make him immersed in regret for decades to come.
After passing through the jungle, Liu Xuan finally arrived at a level 4 jackal camp.
Monster name: Gnoll Warrior
Monster Level: 4
HP: 330
Mana: 130
Attack: 50
Defense: 25
Skill: Slash
"Fortunately, the defense is not high, so I should be able to handle it." After saying that, he quickly rushed towards the opponent with his spear in hand.
After the two sides approached, before Liu Xuan could take action, the jackal warrior jumped up first and slashed diagonally towards Liu Xuan's door with the sword in his hand.
Liu Xuan knew that his body skills were not as good as the opponent's, so he did not dodge. Instead, he took advantage of the length of the weapon and aimed a cloud-piercing stab at the opponent's chest.
-95 (Knockdown)
-47
-47
After making up two basic attacks, Liu Xuan turned around and ran decisively when he saw the opponent starting to stand up. After the skill CD of [Cloud Piercer] was up, he turned around again and stabbed with a carbine.
-95 (Cloud Piercer)
At this time, the knockdown effect was still on CD, so it did not take effect, and the Jackal warrior took advantage of the moment when his pistol was lagging to exchange swords with him.
-47 (Gnoll Warrior)
-46
"Ding! Congratulations on killing the Jackal warrior. You gained 42 experience points and 1 combat merit point."
Liu Xuan leaned over and took a look.
Copper coins: 4
Jackal Helmet X1
Level 1 mana restoration potion.
"Sure enough, 110 points of luck is great! Just then, the first monster actually came out with equipment." Liu Xuanli said happily.
Equipment name: Jackal Helmet
HP +100
Mana +50
Physical defense +3
Magic Defense +3
Constitution +2
Strength +3
Grade: black iron
Usage level: Level 3
Occupation restrictions: none
Description: Gnoll's standard helmet, be careful because there are lice inside.
After reading the equipment description, Liu Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill. This equipment designer is definitely poisonous. A female player with mysophobia or timidity would probably not dare to wear this equipment.
After killing more than a dozen jackals in a row, Liu Xuan's level finally rose to level 3.
He looked at his own attack power of 123 points, and then looked at the jackals on the opposite side. A perverted smile suddenly appeared on Liu Xuan's face. The jackal who happened to be patrolling by here couldn't help but tighten his anus when he saw the smile on Liu Xuan's face.
The next second, as a gun shadow flashed by, the jackal died on the spot before he could let out a miserable howl. Soon the entire camp was plunged into dire straits.
After fighting for more than ten minutes, Liu Xuan began to gradually master the operation of this game.
During this period, another piece of equipment exploded from the monster.
Equipment name: Black Iron Knife
Attack power +15
Constitution +1
Strength +5
Grade: black iron
Usage level: Level 4
Occupation limit: warrior
Description: A machete that comes with tetanus enchantment. With it, you will be the most handsome kid in the village.
(Equipment quality from low to high is: white plate, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, dark gold, epic, legend, artifact, divine king weapon, Hongmeng spiritual weapon)
"Damn, why is it only for warriors? Can't my noble knight still be able to lift a sword?"
After some complaints, Liu Xuan could only hang up the pig iron knife in the trading house.
He chose cash bidding for the transaction method. After all, the weapons on the market now are basically blank slates. Liu Xuan put the lowest price at 1 yuan in a bit of fun and bid for half an hour.
The players who were paying attention to the trading house suddenly exclaimed.
"Holy shit! Look, someone is actually selling black iron equipment. And it's a knife used by warriors!"
"Level 4 weapons? I can't even defeat a level 2 murloc. Who is so stupid that he actually starts farming level 4 monsters!"
"Brothers who sell weapons, are you interested in joining my [Fengyun] guild? You can ask for the salary if you want!"
"I'll go, it's only been a minute, and the price has soared to 3,000 yuan."
Wang Tao, who was struggling to kill the level 3 wild boar, quickly opened the trading house after hearing the report from his subordinates. Seeing the bonus of 15 points of attack and 5 points of strength, Wang Tao almost drooled.
He is now at level 3, and his attack power is only 37 points. If he had this knife, he would definitely be able to upgrade much faster.
For this reason, Wang Tao directly raised the price to 10,000 without any hesitation.
The mage [Undefeated Dynasty] who was accompanying him to level up quickly smiled and complimented: "Young Master Wang is so generous. It seems that this sword of black iron quality belongs to you."
[Undefeated Dynasty], whose real name is Bao Sheng, was also a trainee in the same period as Liu Xuan and the others. He always follows Wang Tao and is regarded as his loyal lackey.
"It's necessary. My dad has a lot of money. Since I've taken a liking to this thing, I have to take a picture no matter how much money I spend!"
Now everyone within the [Dynasty] basically knows Wang Tao's identity - the richest man in [Nan'an City] and the illegitimate son of the head of the Wang family, 'Wang Zaixing'.
After Wang Tao's brother Wang Bin died in a car accident some time ago, Wang Zaixing officially took him home and prepared to train him as his heir.
And the Wang family is also the largest shareholder of the [Dynasty] Club today!
