Gu Ming did have a way, but he was not sure if it would work.
The countdown to the abyss invasion has begun, but most of the NPCs in Novice Village are unaware of the imminent disaster and are still busy doing their own things.
Gu Ming came to the old beggar NPC.
The rain was about to come, but the old beggar no longer had the leisure to admire the player's long legs, and was staring into the distance with a rather worried look.
Gu Ming: "I have something I want to ask you about..."
Don’t forget, the old beggar has a know-it-all attribute and knows every NPC in Maple Leaf Village like the back of his hand!
Triggering the hidden life mission requires reputation requirements for the player and a special triggering method.
Gu Ming now has a reputation of 700, which is the prerequisite for triggering any hidden life mission. As long as he finds the correct trigger method, he can receive any hidden mission.
The rare materials needed for defense towers are rare, but not in high demand.
For example, a tower only needs one piece of meteorite core.
There are also spider silk, spider teeth, spider glands, etc. He has a lot of them in his backpack, and they were all collected in the Spider Forest.
In this last period, just find the right way.
Rare materials such as meteorite cores can be mined in a short time...
…
In a somewhat restless atmosphere, there were only two hours left before the abyss invasion.
"Seven summoning altars have been built in the abyss camp!"
"Oh, when the invasion starts, these altars will continuously summon strange demons... We don't even have a tower here, how can we fight!"
"Where is the Lone Star God? Why haven't you seen him?"
"Many people have joined the abyss camp..."
"Fuck! These spineless people will die if they die. I will never betray the camp anyway!"
"If you lose the confrontation, there will be punishment..."
Everyone was talking about it, but Gu Ming ignored it.
He just kept asking the old beggar for information about the villagers NPC.
There is a hidden friendship setting between NPC and players. The higher the friendship, the more help you can get from NPC.
Because of his hidden mission as a spy, Gu Ming is probably the most friendly player here at Old Beggar, and he answers almost all questions.
With only an hour left before the invasion of the abyss, Gu Ming finally left the old beggar.
He went straight to an NPC named Sanniang, a widow in Maple Leaf Village who still had charm.
Sanniang was standing in front of her house worrying. When she saw Gu Ming approaching, she said, "It's going to rain, and there's almost no firewood at home..."
"I'll help you chop wood!" Gu Ming said.
He walked into her small courtyard, picked up an ax and started chopping firewood.
This is an easy life task to trigger.
After chopping firewood, you can get two copper coins as a reward. Many life players have done it. It takes a long time, but the profit is very small, and the evaluation is not high.
Gu Ming quickly completed the task of chopping wood.
Sanniang was about to hand over the task when she heard Gu Ming say: "I don't want your money, but I hope you can do me a favor."
Sanniang: "What are you busy with?"
Gu Ming chuckled: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the chef in the village?"
Sanniang's face was startled: "You, what are you talking about? There is nothing between me and him..."
No one outside knew about her private meeting with the chef...
Except for that old beggar who lies by the window all day long!
Gu Ming continued: "I just want to ask you to tell the chef that he can make me a bowl of family braised pig's trotters."
Sanniang looked hesitant and finally nodded: "Okay!"
The chef in the village is a very proud NPC. His family's braised pig's trotters are very famous, but he doesn't easily cook them for others.
But it's still easy to persuade him if you grasp his weaknesses, such as his affair with Sanniang...
In this way, Gu Mingxi took a bowl of fragrant braised pig's trotters and took it to find an NPC named Da Zhuang.
Gu Ming: "Do you want to eat this bowl of braised pig's trotters?"
Da Zhuang: "Is it really possible? This is my favorite thing!"
Gu Ming: "Of course, as long as you give me your sweat towel."
Players can trade the NPC's sweat towel by completing the life tasks of the powerful NPC.
Many players originally thought there was something special about this thing, but when they found out it was just a smelly towel, they all shouted that it was a scam.
Even the information dealers don't understand what the use of this sweat towel is.
But Gu Ming found out its use from the old beggar.
After trading the sweat towel, Gu Ming found Erya, the village beauty.
He handed the sweat towel to Erya: "This is Da Zhuang. He asked me to give it to you."
Erya's face was flushed, she took the sweat towel tremblingly, held it on her face and took a deep breath: "Yes, it smells like Brother Da Zhuang..."
Erya has always had a crush on Da Zhuang, which is information that few people know.
The big and strong sweat towel can naturally make Erya tempted.
"Do you have anything that you would like me to give to Da Zhuang?" Gu Ming asked with a smile.
Erya's face turned red and she slowly took out her underwear from her body: "Please help me give it to Da Zhuang."
So Gu Mingxi brought a piece of Erya's underwear.
But instead of going back to find Da Zhuang, he found a bachelor named Tietou in the village.
Iron Head is an NPC with a very strong head. He can brush the rare material "Meteorite Core" on his body.
Players need to spend a lot of energy and complete various difficult tasks set by him to obtain this material.
So far, only seven or eight items have been produced in Novice Village, and they are all in the hands of the guild.
As it happens, meteorite cores are a rare material necessary for building altars and defense towers.
But except for the old beggar, no one knows that Tietou has been secretly in love with Erya.
He once told people secretly that if he could get Erya's belongings, he would be willing to exchange them at any price.
So Gu Ming used Erya's underwear to successfully exchange the meteorite core in his hand...
…
As an idol who once had a billion mice, Gu Ming can be said to be quite talented in playing games.
Not only are the abilities of operation and consciousness that are standard in professional e-sports, but he is also extremely good at playing single-player games.
It's easy for him to cut through the complicated tasks and achieve his goals.
Relying on the information he got from the old beggar, he easily created a perfect strategy and obtained the meteorite core.
The experts trained by guilds and clubs are better at these things than Gu Ming, but they don't have such a high reputation as Gu Ming, and they can't get the help of the old beggar who knows everything like Gu Ming.
After obtaining the meteorite core, Gu Ming continued to acquire other rare materials: dragon tendon rope, fossil fragments, lens sheets...
After completing these tasks once, you can repeat them as long as you master the normal order!
"It's a pity that the perfect guide requires a high reputation, otherwise we can bring the egg fried rice and others to work together..."
When Gu Ming completed the mission of Perfect Strategy, he always wore the Qianhuan Mask and maintained the trumpet "Guess who I am".
Everyone didn't see Lone Star Destiny, they only saw "Guess Who I Am" busy around.
Many people on public channels are curious: Where has the great god gone?
The Egg Fried Rice quartet got together with Brother Hao and others. According to Li Ming's request, they were also collecting materials that were easily available for building defense towers: planks, arrows, etc.
Most of these can be obtained by spending money, but things that require money are not a problem for Brother Hao.
"Boss, is it useful for us to collect these? How can rare materials be so easy to obtain..." Bodyguard No. 1, who was following Brother Qingling Hao, asked worriedly.
Brother Hao: "Don't talk nonsense. Since he can get rare materials, he can definitely get it. Trust him!"
Bodyguard No. 3: "But time is running out. We still have to build a defense tower."
There are seven altars in the abyss camp. When the invasion begins, strange demons will be summoned continuously.
If they don't have defense towers, they certainly won't be able to resist.
Brother Hao was also a little irritable. Just as he was about to speak, Braised Rabbit Head hurried over: "Come on, come on, the master just gave me a batch of rare materials."
Spider silk, spider teeth, spider glands, meteorite cores, dragon tendon ropes, lens sheets, fossil fragments...
With what they had already collected, there was just enough to build a defense tower.
Braised Rabbit Head: "The master said, let us build it quickly. There are other things that will be in place soon."
"Haha, let me tell you! There's really nothing he can't do."
Brother Qingling Hao immediately became excited, put away the materials and began to choose a place to build a defense tower.
Soon, a defensive tower stood at the head of Maple Leaf Village.
It is loaded with repeating crossbows and arrows, which can be controlled by the player to attack approaching enemy units.
…
"Brother Nan! Oh no, a defense tower has been built over at Novice Village!"
The abyss camp quickly got the information.
"Oh, you have the skills. Could it be rare materials traded from other servers?" Tianchen Chen Jinnan said with a nonchalant expression, "It's just one tower. We have seven summoning altars. The alien beast army can directly attack his tower. Got it!"
Then……
"Brother Nan! Novice Village has built a second defense tower!"
Tianchen Chen Jinnan: "Haha..."
"Brother Nan! The third one is built!"
"The fourth one!"
"Five seats!"
"The sixth seat..."
"seven……"
The leaders of the three major guilds could no longer calm down: "Fuck me!"
Someone is cheating here, no one will care about it?
