Moreover, the wrinkles on this man's forehead can kill several flies. Even a fool knows that he has a mission.
The NPC in front of Liu Tao was a middle-aged sergeant. The armor he wore was not the standard equipment of Brave City, and it was also damaged. Some parts were even worn out. His face was sallow, and he looked like a refugee.
Sitting next to a pile of rocks in the forest, his left leg was stretched out and wrapped with a simple bandage. He seemed to be injured, with a sad look on his face.
"Brother, I see you are looking worried. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Liu Tao was already very proficient in speaking the tasks he summarized, and he spoke without thinking.
"It turns out to be the [Tiger Tao] Warrior. You are right. I am indeed in trouble..."
The NPC uncle saw Liu Tao coming and sighed with a sad expression.
Liu Tao didn't answer. He knew that this guy must have finished talking before giving the task. He was too anxious to eat hot tofu. He still understood this truth.
"I was the captain of the Rising Sun City's logistics team. Three months ago, 100 people from our team were ordered to go to the Shadow Mountains to collect some beast skins to use as winter clothing for our Rising Sun warriors. It was fine at first. With the help of our hundred or so The warriors were very skilled and collected a large amount of high-quality furs. However, because we went too deep into the Shadow Mountains, we encountered a small leader of the dark camp. The leader was so powerful that only about 100 of us escaped. I’m alone, eh••••••”
The NPC uncle narrated the whole incident with a self-blaming look on his face. Just when he was about to hear the critical moment, he stopped and sighed, which made Liu Tao very depressed. Are all NPCs these days so humane?
"As the captain of a team, all the people in the team are dead, and I am the only one here to survive. Originally, I should have died, but I want to report this information to Rising Sun City and ask them to send people to get it as soon as possible. We should know why the leader of the dark camp, Hu, appeared in the Shadow Mountains and what ulterior secrets they have, otherwise the task of fighting the dark camp would be much more difficult! Eh••••••”
The NPC uncle sighed again.
Liu Tao was about to collapse and asked quickly:
"Then brother, if there is anything I can do to help you, just tell me directly and I won't say anything!"
"Hey, I can only go back and report this kind of thing in person, no one else can do it for me. Besides, with your ability, you will probably be eaten by wild beasts on the road before you even reach Rising Sun City."
The NPC uncle shook his head like a rattle and bluntly criticized Liu Tao for his low level and not being strong enough.
Now Liu Tao was so angry that he stood here like an idiot and listened to your nonsense for a long time. In the end, he just said "You are not qualified"?
Liu Tao was so angry that he was about to lose his temper.
"but••••••"
At this time, I don't know if the NPC uncle realized Liu Tao's anger or something. He just said that Liu Tao was not qualified and then said "not qualified" again.
"But what?"
When Liu Tao heard that things were turning around, he suppressed his anger and asked. But in his heart, he thought that if you couldn't explain the reason, I would blow you up with one sword. I just don't know what a poor guy like you could blow up. .
"My leg is injured and I can't run out of this shadow forest. If you can collect a few herbs for me to treat the injury, I can go back and report the abnormality here by myself..."
The NPC uncle said slowly.
At the same time, the system upgrade sound comes:
"Ding~, do you want to accept the task [Injury of the Logistics Captain]? Collect several herbal medicines for the injured logistics captain to treat his injuries. The better the quality of the herbs, the faster the logistics captain's injuries will heal. After completion, you will receive rich rewards. The richness of the rewards will be Depends on the completion of the task. The current task difficulty is [150]"
"accept!"
Liu Tao clicked accept without hesitation. It was a task that he finally encountered. It would be a fool not to accept it. Moreover, this task seemed to be a side plot, and the reward should be very good.
"I wonder which herbs are needed to treat your injured foot? Where can I collect them?"
Liu Tao asked.
"A total of 3 species are needed, honeysuckle, dangshen, and foxtail grass. They are found in the Shadow Forest. You need ten plants of each. But you have to be careful about the violent apes here. They are quite cruel creatures. Be careful not to be hurt by them. arrive!"
The NPC uncle named the three medicinal herbs, and finally warned Liu Tao to be careful of the ape.
Liu Tao estimated that the violent ape the uncle was talking about was the forest giant ape that he had killed hundreds of. He was worried that there would be no giant apes to fight with, so how could he be afraid?
After bidding farewell to the NPC uncle, Liu Tao walked towards the depths of the Shadow Forest. The Shadow Forest was big enough, and Liu Tao had not completely touched the edge yet.
After walking for a short time, Liu Tao met the forest giant ape again. He had nothing to say, he just picked up the sword and chopped it up easily. He took care of it first without saying a word.
After cleaning up a small group of forest giant apes, Liu Tao picked up the explosive equipment, which was a part of the giant ape suit, but the armor had not been exploded yet. Liu Tao put away the equipment and was about to move forward, but he was accidentally hit by a big ape. Under the tree, I glimpsed a plant that was different from other 'weeds'.
Liu Tao's eyes lit up and he thought that this must be the herb required for the mission.
He ran over excitedly and observed it, but he couldn't tell which of the three herbs it was. Liu Tao simply gave up on such an 'advanced' skill of observing with his eyes.
Facing that weak grass is an [Immortal Technique* Soul-Taking],
"Ding~, use [Immortal Technique*Photography] on the unknown grass, and get a dog's tail grass, experience +800, skill proficiency +1."
Liu Tao was a little surprised that this small grass turned out to be a foxtail grass. Its appearance was completely inconsistent with its name. The designers of Ba Heng must be too good at making mistakes.
Looking at the [Tail Grass] in his hand, Liu Tao grinned. His intermediate magic collection skills were sharp and of such high quality.
【Tailgrass】(first-order medicinal herb)
Quality: 95
Introduction: A low-level medicinal herb that has miraculous effects on treating trauma.
Most of the monster skins collected by the elementary level of Immortal Technique * Soul-Taking are about 80 points in quality. Liu Tao doesn't know whether it is high or not. But when he reaches the intermediate level of Immortal Technique * Soul-Taking, he can collect such high-quality things. Liu Tao still Quite unexpected, but of course he was also delighted. He wished he could collect 100 quality items.
After collecting the first medicinal herb, Liu Tao also had some experience in finding medicinal herbs. That is, medicinal herbs generally do not grow on the road, but only in remote corners, in cracks in rocks, under the uncle's underground, anyway. Wherever it is not remote, it does not grow.
Based on this experience, Liu Tao quickly collected the 30 herbs needed for the task. During the collection process, Liu Tao was very depressed because before collecting, the herbs all looked the same. After collecting, they all looked the same. will change, which also adds a lot of difficulty to the process of collecting different medicinal materials.
It's all just luck. Fortunately, I don't know whether it's Liu Tao's relatively strong character or his relatively sharp magical skills. After Liu Tao ran through half of the Shadow Forest (for his own sake) and just collected 50 herbs, Ten portions of each kind of Codonopsis pilosula, honeysuckle and foxtail grass are all collected.
After looking at the quality, most of them were around 95. There was even a Codonopsis pilosula strain that directly reached the quality of 99, which was just a little short of full quality.
The mission stated that the better the quality of the medicinal herbs, the higher the completion of the mission. Liu Tao thought that this quality should be enough.
So Liu Tao was ready to go back to the NPC uncle to hand in the task.
But just as he was about to clear the way, a medicinal herb hidden behind a bush caught his attention.
The appearance of this herb was different from the ones Liu Tao picked before. It was taller, more lush, and greener in color than the previous herbs. Liu Tao could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
Liu Tao walked over with great interest and observed this unique herb up close. The more he observed it, the more he realized that this was definitely not a simple herb.
"This must be the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng, or the colorful snow lotus, or the ten thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
A certain Liu has become more and more fond of YY recently, and can think of all kinds of nonsense.
Liu Tao saw that it was still getting late and thought that Chen Siyu and the others should go online, so he did not get too entangled in the question of whether this extraordinary herb was a thousand-year-old ginseng or a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
Facing this herb is an [Immortal Technique* Soul-Taking].
"Ding~, use [Fairy Technique*Photography] on the unknown grass, get a wolfberry, experience +1800, skill proficiency +1"
"Ding~, due to the triggering of the [Immortal Technique* Soul-Taking] skill effect, I will receive an additional oriental fairy material Polygonatum japonica, experience +300000, and skill proficiency +100."
Two system prompts came at the same time.
When Liu Tao heard that the system had been improved, he thought he had heard it wrong. He quickly opened the record and checked it. It turned out that it was not his bad ears.
I quickly opened my backpack and saw two herbs lying quietly in the space.
【Wolfberry】(Second-level medicinal herb)
Quality: 82
Introduction: A low- to medium-level medicinal herb with unknown effects.
[Potati Polygonatum] (Level 6 medicinal herb)
Quality: 100
Introduction: A high-grade medicinal herb with unknown effects.
Not only did he get a level 2 medicinal herb, but he also got a level 6 elixir due to the slight chance of triggering the magic of magic* to capture souls. Liu Tao felt that God was so loving to him.
Not knowing the usefulness of the herbs for the time being, Liu Tao suppressed his excitement and returned to the NPC uncle where he handed over the task first.
After handing thirty herbs of various kinds to the NPC uncle, the expected task completion sound did not sound.
"Ah, the quality of these herbs is so good. It seems that my injury will be healed soon!"
The uncle was very surprised and said happily.
Liu Tao said to his uncle, my magic is not just for decoration, it should be of such high quality.
The NPC uncle conjured something like an ancient Chinese tripod, then threw all the herbs Liu Tao collected into it, then closed the lid and left it to fend for itself.
"Ahem, brother, I gave you this herb, so what, when will you give me the reward?"
Liu Tao is not afraid that they will not understand. Ever since he met the old liar, Liu Tao has a high opinion of the intelligence of the NPC in Ba Hengzhong.
"Haha, don't worry little brother, my healing medicine will be ready soon."
The NPC uncle said something he didn't want to do. I don't know if he really didn't understand or if he was just pretending to be stupid.
After a while, the medicine in the cauldron was ready. The NPC uncle poured out three pills from it, without looking at them. He just threw them into his mouth, and they all clicked like beans.
After a while, the NPC uncle who had taken the pills felt better as if he had been given chicken blood. His face was no longer sallow, and his legs were no longer hanging.
With a start, he stood up, startling Liu Tao.
These people in Emotional Baheng are all Xiaoqiang, so a serious injury like this could just be settled.
"Thank you, brother, for the medicine you collected. The quality is beyond question, so I was able to get well so quickly. This is the reward you deserve. Take it."
"Ding~ Completed the mission [Logistics Captain's Injury]. Because of the perfect completion of the mission, I received an additional gift from the Logistics Captain. As a reward, I received 1,000 Rising Sun Contribution Points, +500 reputation, +50,000 experience, and a one-star skill wishing stone."
The sound of the system prompting that the task was completed finally came, and because the medicine Liu Tao picked was of high quality, the rewards were also rich.
Although there is no comparison with the rewards of Liu Tao's previous tasks, this is only a collection task with a difficulty of 150. The reward of the skill wishing stone is due to the perfect completion, and Liu Tao is satisfied.
The biggest gain this time is not the mission reward, but the sixth-level medicinal material [Polygonatum sibiricum] harvested.
"That's the real treasure! Your character seems a bit high today."
Liu Tao thought to himself.
"Brother Meng Hutao, I have one more thing to do. I wonder if you can do me another favor?"
Liu Tao originally planned to open a way back to find Chen Siyu and the others, but at this moment the NPC uncle said again that there was still a mission!
Three updates and ten thousand words, please collect it! Please give me flowers!
