Chapter 41: The Horse and the Carpenter
Looking at the fifth master running towards him, and then at the horses being led by the bandits, he began to figure out his plan in his mind.
First of all, the first step is to confirm the strength of the fifth master. If it is too strong, don't think too much and run away immediately.
Soon after, he and the Fifth Master began to fight in the woods. The Fifth Master was indeed much stronger than the others. He seemed to have practiced his inner strength and mental skills, both in terms of attack speed and intensity. One point better than him.
Fortunately, NPCs are just NPCs. Although their attack speed and power are stronger than him, their minds are always controlled by computers. They don't have the flexibility of players, which results in attacks not being smooth enough.
This loophole gave Feng time to evade, and he slowly figured out the true strength of the fifth master, which should be around the ninth level. It is very difficult to defeat the opponent. Even if you succeed by luck in the end, you will definitely be seriously injured.
However, with the brown and red horses right in front of them, could they just give up and run away like this? He was very unwilling and determined in his heart that he must create an opportunity to steal horses.
He was still making his own calculations in his mind. Since the fifth leader was not much stronger than himself, escaping shouldn't be a big problem.
Then start the second step, make sure that there is only one BOSS from the Five Leaders here, and there will be no other strong reinforcements. After all, this is the territory of bandits. If there is another fourth or third master, they will definitely be stronger. Don't even think about stealing horses then. It's more important to escape and save your life.
He did not go head-to-head with the fifth master, but used his physical skills to lead the fifth master in circles in the woods, in order to see if the bandits had any reinforcements.
After driving around in circles for a few minutes, the Fifth Leader was still in hot pursuit, but no other bandits showed up. So, he immediately sent a message to Fat Brother, asking him to hold down the two bandits just now and not let them come back for help, because there were already two bandits next to the horse. If two more bandits were added, the horse thief would be The difficulty will be greatly increased.
After that, he took the fifth master and began to slowly leave this place, and his plan was to attack the east and the west. That is to first attract the fifth master to a place away from the horses; then find a way to keep the fifth master, and he will return first; finally, he will take the opportunity to steal the horse and escape.
He took Wu Dangjia in circles in the "forest". After spending dozens of minutes, he finally brought Wu Dangjia several kilometers away.
If he wanted to retain the bandits who were in the middle of the ninth grade, he had to resort to outsmarting him with his current strength. So, with a sudden change of heart, he decided to adopt a risky strategy and exchange injuries for injuries.
He resisted Wu Dangjia's blow with his left shoulder and successfully injured Wu Dangjia's leg at the cost of losing 20% of his health. After Wu Dangjia's leg injury, his running ability declined significantly.
This was exactly his purpose. Although he was injured more seriously than the fifth master, the injured part was his shoulder, so he ran faster than the fifth master.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he immediately gave up fighting with the fifth master and took advantage of his fast running speed to leave the fifth master behind him.
After running wildly all the way, they finally arrived at the place where the battle began. At this moment, the two minions were still holding the horses in place, waiting for the order from the fifth master.
"NPCs are still NPCs and have no independent opinions of their own."
Ignoring the shouts of the bandit minions, he used his strongest attack to quickly knock down the two minions, then mounted the brown and red horse and ran towards the inn without looking back.
During this process, although the brown and red horse resisted, the resistance was not strong. In addition, during the internal testing of the game, horsemanship was a skill that every player must learn. He also participated in horse racing-related competitions.
Although he can't be said to be one of the best in the game in terms of horse riding, he can still be called a master of horse control. So after resisting for a while, the brown horse obeyed his instructions.
He rode his horse and ran happily towards the inn, leaving only the angry shouts of the fifth master, echoing in the woods where the battle took place.
After leaving Luoxia Mountain, he began to check his character system. Sure enough, there was another column in the character system: the mount system. The mount system contains information about mounts. For example, the horse's physical strength, the horse's condition, the horse's grade, etc.
This brown and red horse is just an ordinary horse, but its physical strength is already ten times that of the player. The running speed of a horse is also directly proportional to the physical exertion. After running a short distance, the horse also needs time to recover its physical strength.
Today is a fruitful day. Not only does he have good news, he also knows another good news in the group. This good news is that Brother Lin has learned a hidden life skill: carpentry.
Brother Lin recounted his experience among the nine people.
He had nothing to do today and did not go fishing. Instead, he chose to take a look around Peach Tree Village and do some drawing. While running the map, I met an NPC in the wild area. After some conversation, he learned that the other party was a villager who went into the mountains to hunt. The villager was injured while hunting, so the villager NPC sent a request to Brother Lin, hoping that Brother Lin could help him bring the prey home.
When Brother Lin saw this information, he must have helped, because the question he originally asked the old village chief was about how to obtain other life skills. The old village chief told Brother Lin: "The game is full of opportunities and tests. Those who pass the test, You can gain special life skills.”
At this time, suddenly encountering an NPC in the wild area may be the opportunity the old village chief mentioned. So Lin Ge happily carried the prey on his back and followed the villagers for several hours.
Along the way, they met several other NPCs. These NPCs actually represent three tests of the carpenter's life skills.
First, when they were resting on the road, they saw the first NPC in the test, a strong man who was cutting down a tree. The strong man who cut down the tree asked Brother Lin to help him cut down the trees. The trees were large and small.
After helping the strong man cut down the big tree, Brother Lin did not follow the strong man's instruction to cut down the small tree. Because he felt that the small tree had not grown up yet and now was not the time to cut it down.
Then the second NPC encountered was a crying little girl because she couldn't open the gift given to her by her parents: the Luban lock, and she couldn't eat the candy inside the Luban lock. The crying little girl asked Brother Lin to help her open the Luban lock.
Brother Lin happened to be very knowledgeable about Luban locks. When his children were young, he bought many strange Luban locks for his children to play with, so this Luban lock was not difficult for him. After some research, , and quickly opened the Luban lock. The little girl also stopped crying and ate the delicious candy.
Finally, we return to the villager's home. The villager has three sons, among whom the eldest son and the second son have married, but there is only one prey. How to distribute the prey equally. The villagers hope that Brother Lin can give them a reasonable distribution method.
In fact, Brother Lin couldn't find a suitable distribution method, but for some reason, Brother Lin finally made a clever and decisive distribution method.
After that, Brother Lin received the information from the system and successfully learned the hidden life skill: carpenter
The system did not give Brother Lin an answer to the role of each NPC. Brother Lin himself came to the following conclusions:
The first test is compassion;
The second test is the dexterity of the hand;
The third test is the decision-making brain;
But the most important thing is patience, which can be said to have carried out the entire test.
The so-called carpenter uses wood to make various wooden products, including carriages.
Just as everyone was congratulating Brother Lin, Westbrook posted a screenshot in the group. He took a closer look and saw that it was actually a map. This map recorded the approximate locations of Chiba County and Buluo County.
As a wealthy second-generation Westbrook, the principle he believes in is: as long as things can be solved with money, why bother doing it yourself.
After the server started yesterday, Wei Shao found that he and Zhenzhen were not in the same village, or even in the same county, so he had already begun to think of ways to solve this problem.
Then he spread the word among his friends that he wanted to buy a map between Chiba Prefecture and Fuluo Prefecture at a high price.
Not long ago, Westbrook received a message from a friend saying that someone from Chiba County had arrived in Buluo County, and then gave Westbrook a screenshot of this map.
After Westbrook got the screenshot, he kept his promise and gave the opponent 10 gold coins.
"10 gold coins, buy a screenshot, I don't understand the world of rich people." After hearing that Westbrook spent 1,000 RMB to buy a screenshot of the map, Xiaotian shouted in the group and then expressed in the group , if something like this happens to Westbrook in the future, it must be entrusted to him first. He doesn't mind running around day and night.
"10 gold coins, 1000 RMB, our friends in the live broadcast room will deduct 666 for our Westbrook." Xiao Chao was also shocked by Westbrook's operation, and began to promote Westbrook's "great achievements" in the live broadcast room.
From the screenshot, it can be seen that Chiba County is indeed far away from Buluo Town, at least three times the distance from Luoxia Village to Buluo County.
With this map in hand, Wei Shao, Hua Shao and Lin Ge planned to start their journey towards Buluo County. It's just that the journey is long, and you may have to spend the night in the wilderness.
"What three idiots. Brother Feng has a horse, Brother Lin can make a carriage, and Westbrook has a map. Can't we just take a carriage and drive on the road?" Shishi looked at the "stupid" decisions made by the three Westbrooks and said own ideas.
It's really a word that wakes up the dreamer.
Lin Ge has the carriage, Feng has the horses, and Westbrook has the map. The combination of the three is simply a "match made in heaven."
"Westbrook, wait for me in Chiba County. I'll ride over to pick you up." Then he said to Brother Lin, "Brother Lin, thank you for your hard work and make a carriage now."
"Master Feng, isn't this hard work? As a carpenter, making carriages is my duty and interest. But you, the journey is long, please pay attention to safety." Brother Lin
"Okay, let's keep in touch at any time." Feng
"Contact me anytime." Westbrook
According to Westbrook's map, he started riding towards Chiba County.
The speed of the horse is indeed not comparable to that of the player running, and the surrounding scenery quickly passes his field of vision.
