Cheng Ye looked at Wei Sheng'an with a smile.
For a brief moment, the two looked at each other.
But in this Yinchibi, there seemed to be a fierce battle.
Cheng Ye gripped the ax tightly: "Okay, guard, just take a good rest."
Wei Sheng'an said unceremoniously: "Thank you, noble prince."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Cheng Ye walked alone into the depths of the forest.
The forest seemed to be filled with thick fog, and only the road close at hand could be seen.
And it blocked almost all the sunlight, leaving only a few scattered spots of light scattered on the ground.
The moist and cold air carries a unique dew, which makes people feel cool when passing by.
In order not to get lost, not to be punished, and to complete the task quickly, Cheng Ye walked a little into the forest and prepared to start chopping firewood.
He had no whetstone and had to chop wood with a dull axe.
but.......
Cheng Ye was not in a hurry and started cutting down the trees.
He thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at the transparent panel on his right, with the tasks hanging on it.
[Firewood: 0/100]
The mission is not clear.
Does this mean cutting down 100 trees or is just 100 branches enough?
Cheng Ye's eyes were filled with mist.
He decided to try his guess first.
He put the ax aside and searched the ground with his eyes.
It seemed that it had just rained in the forest, the land was still moist, and there was a fresh smell in the air.
It is overgrown with weeds and has many strange plants that cannot be described.
Cheng Ye raised his head and saw thousands of lush trees. The huge tree crowns were intertwined with each other, and they were light-tight, covering the ground.
It's like there is a monster hiding everything in this forest.
For a moment.
Cheng Ye suddenly felt very insignificant.
It seems that among all living things, he is just a tiny speck of dust.
Cheng Ye thought for a while, pushed out a trace with his shoes, and walked deeper into the forest.
He wanted to test his guess.
In order to know the way back, he walked very slowly.
The shoes made heavy marks on the wet soil.
Soon, the splashed mud left dark stains on his pants.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
Finally he saw the first branch.
It is placed quietly under a big tree, with no other branches around it.
Cheng Ye was not impatient. He continued to make traces with his shoes, moved forward slowly, squatted on the ground, and picked up the branch.
[Ding, you got a piece of firewood. 】
[Current firewood mission: 1/100]
The moment he heard the system prompt, Cheng Ye raised a smile.
He looked towards the way he came.
It seemed that the rusty and dull ax was mocking him.
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes, as if looking directly at Chu Yue, the maid in the castle, through the thick fog.
Dog woman! Just know how to lie to him!
This task does not require chopping firewood at all, just gathering firewood.
Give him such a blunt axe, hoping that he will not be able to complete the task and be punished!
Pooh!
Cheng Ye put away the firewood, turned a corner at this location, carefully continued moving forward, and began to collect firewood.
Slowly, he gained experience.
The thicker the canopy, the more firewood there is.
He started to raise his head to see which tree was bigger and then walked in that direction.
Picking up branches is like picking up fallen props, and a bunch of white lights light up.
The system notification sounds kept ringing in his ears.
[Ding, you got a piece of firewood. 】
[Ding, you got a piece of firewood. 】
[Ding, you got a piece of firewood. 】
[Ding, you got a piece of firewood. 】
...
Soon, Cheng Ye finally heard what he wanted to hear.
[Ding, you got a piece of firewood. 】
[Current firewood mission: 98/100]
[Honorable warrior, congratulations on rescuing the weak princesses so that they can have a hot lunch. You are really a great warrior and they will be impressed by your courage. 】
Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He went out to collect firewood after eight o'clock. At this rate, he should be back before noon.
It was not too difficult to complete the task.
The mission was about to be completed, and Cheng Ye relaxed a little.
He continued walking inside.
Behind him, there was a long black line trailing, which was the way back.
Cheng Ye is always like this, trying boldly but acting cautiously.
After walking for a long time, Cheng Ye felt something was wrong.
This forest seems to have no boundaries.
Boundless, without end.
Cheng Ye turned around and looked at the deep marks he had made on the ground.
He must have traveled a long way.
Why does the forest still look like there is no exit?
There was no light at all, and he seemed to be walking in the evening.
Tonight he is taking a princess out of the forest.
Can he really leave?
Or does this copy have a deeper meaning?
Or was the forest giving him a hint?
Cheng Ye shook his head and threw away these disturbing emotions.
What you should do now is finish the task at hand.
When you take the princess away at night, you will know the secret of this forest.
Do the things at hand with peace of mind. Some things should not be rushed.
.......
Probably more than two hours later.
Cheng Ye came back slowly, holding a thick branch and carrying the old but heavy axe.
But after not seeing him for two hours, his body was covered in dust.
His face was also gray.
Wei Sheng'an stood lazily at the window, looking at Cheng Ye's approaching body, smiling happily.
He had a guess, and he didn't accompany Cheng Ye just to verify this guess.
But now, he fully understood that his guess was right.
This copy is a single copy.
He was able to get in only because he formed a team with Cheng Ye by chance and had the option to enter by force.
However, because this is a single-player copy prepared by the game for Cheng Ye, many aspects of the system have not been changed for the time being.
For example, the system gets stuck at the beginning.
It was said that the warrior works alone, but the wording was temporarily changed to the warrior with his little bodyguard.
Including the maid NPC who made mistakes many times.
He often ignores himself and only sees Cheng Ye.
Another example is that when the maid is in trouble, she only thinks of Cheng Ye.
Including the other princesses, they seemed to only be able to see Cheng Ye.
He has no sense of existence at all.
This was clearly a copy of Cheng Ye, he was just an extra.
And that damn lazy system feels like it.
This is just the simplest newbie version, so why don’t you just ignore yourself?
Wei Shengan smiled, a pair of brown eyes hiding a joke.
He lazily took the grapes in front of him and began to eat them one by one.
I have to say, it’s very pleasant to be in a dungeon where you don’t have to do anything.
.......
Bless Cheng Ye.
...
ps: Thanks to Yata Qiong Cang Yue for the reward.
It has been a long time since I received a large reward, so I must celebrate more.
Thanks again for the support.
I'm very tired after a long day of moving. I have a flight tomorrow. Good night.
