Chief Bloodfang: "Distant traveler, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
When he said this, the chief paused for a moment.
Gu Ming was originally ready to take the initiative to speak, but he didn't expect that the conversation would be triggered as soon as he came to the chief NPC.
He thought to himself, it seems that the bloodline awakening mission is about to begin.
Then……
The chief then continued: "Warrior, are you here to marry my daughter, Xiangxiang?"
"Reminder: You have triggered a hidden mission to marry the daughter of the chief of the Tauren tribe of the Bloodfang clan!"
Gu Ming: "???"
Damn it, this is triggering a hairline, who said you want to marry Xiangxiang!
There is indeed a "marriage system" in the Age of Dawn. Players can marry NPCs by completing tasks... There are even studio intelligence merchants online selling strategies for marrying NPCs.
But what Gu Ming wanted to take on was not a wedding task at all.
Moreover, the daughter of the chief of your Tauren tribe is named Xiangxiang. Is this appropriate?
If you want to be so down-to-earth, do you have a son called the Bull Demon King?
After Gu Ming was shocked, he quickly came to his senses.
Marrying Xiangxiang should be the task of the Tauren chief himself. Players with a high enough reputation can trigger this task. This has nothing to do with Gu Ming's own bloodline awakening.
And the name Xiangxiang is actually quite normal... NPC names in Dawn Era will have different translations according to different regions.
What Chinese players see is different from what foreign players see.
Just like the NPCs in Novice Village, the names that Chinese players see are: Da Zhuang, Erya, and Xiaoshuai, while the names that American players see are: John, Mary, and Jack.
Gu Ming's identity as a "wind-catching spy" sounds full of oriental charm at first glance, but in the eyes of foreign players, this identity is called "Gestapo".
The daughter of the tauren chief is translated as Xiangxiang by Gu Ming, but she might be called Elizabeth in the eyes of foreign players.
Age of Dawn is very rigorous in this regard.
The tauren chief's daughter is named Xiangxiang, which makes sense.
Gu Ming said quickly: "Sorry, I'm not here to marry your daughter. I want to go to the Sunset Mountains!"
Chief Bloodfang: "The Sunset Mountains are shrouded in darkness. Countless degenerates are active in them. They are full of dangers. Are you sure where you want to go?"
Gu Ming: "I'm sure!"
Chief Bloodfang: "Well, I have a map to the Sunset Mountains here. It can guide you in the direction, but this is a very precious item of my Bloodfang clan. If you want to get it, you have to pay a certain price."
Gu Ming: "So, what's the price?"
Chief Bloodfang: "As long as you marry my daughter Xiangxiang, I can give it to you..."
Gu Ming's face turned dark on the spot.
Chief Bloodfang continued: "Of course, you can also use your strength to prove that you are qualified to obtain it."
Gu Ming said quickly: "I choose the qualification certificate!"
Chief Bloodfang was a little disappointed: "You really don't think about my daughter..."
Gu Ming: "I won't consider it, thank you!"
"Reminder: You have received the mission. To prove your qualifications, please kill 100 one-horned deer, 100 wind demon wolves, and 100 black lizards!"
Seeing the system prompts appearing in front of him, Gu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Although the qualification certificate seemed difficult and required a lot of work, it just took a little more time for Gu Ming.
If he could really get the map by marrying Xiangxiang, then he would rather give up this mission...
He is a bottom-line player!
After receiving the mission, Gu Ming saw that Chief Bloodfang was about to sell his daughter again, so he quickly turned around and left.
Damn it, the NPCs in Age of Dawn are controlled by intelligent AI, just like skin!
After leaving the chief's house and coming outside, Gu Ming found that many players were gathering outside the gate.
"Come out, come out!"
"Brother, what mission did you take on? Can you share it with a team? It must be difficult for you to complete it alone."
"Can you tell me the strategy? How much it costs, you tell me!"
"Add a friend..."
Many players who entered the Tauren tribe had encountered obstacles with the chief. They were naturally curious when they saw someone successfully receiving the mission.
Gu Ming was speechless. He was wearing a Qianhuan mask and used the nickname "Go up the mountain to fight the tiger". He didn't expect that even this would attract onlookers.
He ignored these players and rushed to the tribe's monster area as soon as possible.
I don’t know how long it will take to kill three hundred monsters in succession.
After leaving the tribe, Gu Ming saw many people setting up stalls at the exit.
These are players who don’t have money to open a store and don’t want the store to take advantage of them, so they set up their own stalls and produce and sell their own products.
Gu Ming glanced at it casually, and there were so many different things.
"Selling antlers, venison, wolf skins, and wolf halves at favorable prices."
"Selling escort and picking related mission guides."
"Acquire Amethyst, Wind Grass, and Blue Crystal Mine."
"Sell yourself."
……Um?
Why is there someone selling himself?
The player who was selling himself saw Gu Ming stop and quickly smiled and said, "Brother, do you want to hire someone?"
"Hire?" Gu Ming was stunned.
Player introduction: "You can buy a mercenary scroll from the Iron Horn NPC in the Tauren tribe. Use the mercenary scroll to hire other players or NPCs. If you form a team to fight monsters, the experience and kills will be yours. Now the experience has reached 17. Level 18 players all rely on mercenary scrolls!"
It turned out that this was the first time Gu Ming came into contact with a mercenary scroll. Lone Star City did not have such a tool.
There is really no shortage of novel settings in Age of Dawn.
The player continued: "Brother, whether you hire me or not depends on what mission you want to complete, right? I am a level 15 warrior with thick blood and high attack power. I can definitely help you complete your mission."
"No need for the moment." Gu Ming thought for a while and said.
He doesn't want to hire people to help with tasks, which is an insult to high-level players.
But having said that, three hundred monsters is not a small number. I don’t know how long it will take to kill one person...
Let’s see what happens!
Gu Ming suddenly came to his senses, and the chief asked him to choose between marrying Xiangxiang or killing three hundred monsters.
Isn't it just so that he can happily agree to the monster-killing mission...
Soon, Gu Ming came to the strange area where the one-horned deer is located. The one-horned deer is a level 16 monster that looks like a deer, but has a single horn on its head and black scales on its body.
The black scorpions, rats and even spider monsters encountered in the Novice Village all belong to "animal" species.
The race of the one-horned deer already belongs to the "Warcraft" category, which means that they are more difficult to deal with and harder to kill.
Gu Ming summoned his battle pet, and then he took a look at his current attribute panel.
