The troll tribe that Egg Fried Rice is attacking is located on the edge of the dark forest. It is a neutral force that can be conquered by both Lone Star City and Silla City.
Gu Ming originally wanted to take some time to come over and have a look, but he didn't expect that he would now take on an exploration mission to a mysterious troll village.
I don't know if there is any relationship between the two.
"Take the mission first, and you will find out later."
Gu Ming immediately took over all three tasks from the old beggar.
The collection task seems to appear every time the task is refreshed. It is nothing more than collecting various materials for city defense and city construction. Gu Ming directly spent money to buy the required materials in the store and handed in the task. This task gave Gu Ming 20 prestige.
This was the first time I received the second security mission. This mission was to clean up the gangsters in Lone Star City.
As the main city, Lone Star City is a safe area, but monsters will still spawn in certain areas, such as the large prison, lower city, slums and other places.
The security mission requires Gu Ming to go to the "chaotic streets" in Xiacheng District and clean up the gangsters entrenched there. After completion, he will receive a 20-point reputation reward and a 5-silver security reward.
Soon, Gu Ming came to the lower part of Lone Star City and found Chaos Street according to the map prompts.
This is one of the most dangerous places in Lone Star City.
Era of Dawn not only makes the modeling of environmental buildings very realistic, but also strives to provide a realistic experience for players' daily actions. For example, in places like chaotic streets, when players come here, "robbery" and "harassment" will be randomly triggered. "Theft" and other incidents, but many tasks still need to come here.
Players can even establish their own power in the streets and recruit the gangsters here as their underlings, that is, "gangsters". The price is that the favorability of many NPCs will decrease. If they go out of the streets, they will be picked on by the police officers, and they may even directly Being imprisoned in a big prison...
Just when Gu Ming came to Luanjie, he happened to see a girly player who wanted to enter Luanjie to do a task, but was stopped by a bearded street gangster.
A level 25 street gangster with a big beard: "Girl, let's go have a drink together? Hehe."
Sissy player: "No... I'm a man!"
Bearded man: "Man...then I'm even more excited, hehe!"
Sissy player: "???"
Gu Ming, who was watching this scene, showed an expression of amazement. The degree of freedom in the Dawn Era is really too high!
The mission requires him to kill at least 20 street gangsters (killing them here is equivalent to arresting them). Now that they have met him, Gu Ming will naturally be rude. He will probe with his mind to understand the weaknesses, and he will approach with a gust of wind. passed.
The bearded gangster who was pulling the sissy noticed Gu Ming approaching, and his face was shocked: "Boy, you..."
Uh-huh!
Weakness attack, three consecutive sword strikes, the rogue monster with 1,400 health will be instantly killed!
Gu Ming was not interested in saying anything to this sissy player and immediately turned around and left. After he killed a gangster, other gangsters were immediately attracted and gathered around him.
"Lonely...Lonely Star Destiny?" The sissy player who was rescued was stunned, and then realized that the one who saved him was Lone Star Destiny. He couldn't help but let out an excited scream.
Then he couldn't wait to speak on the public channel: "OMG, I was harassed by gangsters on the street, and the Lone Star God suddenly fell from the sky. Oh my god, he is so MAN, people like him so much..."
——Gu Ming was lucky that he didn't see his speech. If he had seen it in advance, he would definitely have been fine.
Because of this sissy player's speech, when Gu Ming completed the security mission of cleaning up the gangsters and was about to leave, many players had already gathered here to pay homage to Lone Star Destiny.
Gu Ming could only wave to them helplessly and prepare to leave.
Alas, this is the top-notch helplessness...
"Master Lone Star, please wait a moment!" A player with ID Shenji Camp Prince suddenly called him, "I have business to talk to you about!"
"Huh?" Gu Ming looked at the other party strangely.
Prince of the Shenji Camp: "It's so difficult to find you, and now I finally meet you... Let me introduce myself, I am the president of the Shenji Camp Guild. Our guild is a small guild, but it is somewhat famous in the Dawn Era. , is a guild that specializes in blacksmiths and has only settled in Lone Star City in the past two days."
"The blacksmith's guild?"
This is a guild run by pure life players. It may not have big capital behind it, but it may also have the support of small and medium-sized companies. It can earn a lot of income through blacksmith operations.
In previous online games, in addition to the combat profession, players could play an auxiliary life profession to meet their daily needs. It was a convenient thing anyway.
But in the Dawn Era, everything that pursues reality, whether it is a combat profession or a life profession, requires a huge amount of energy to cultivate.
Therefore, players can either choose a combat-style gameplay or a life-style gameplay.
When combat-stream players encounter needs for forging, scrolls, sewing, fashion, potions, etc., they will find suitable professional players to cooperate with.
Gu Ming asked curiously: "What do you want from me?"
Prince Shenji Camp: "Now that orange equipment is appearing one after another, equipment can be strengthened, and the importance of blacksmiths has begun to appear. If players want to be strong enough, they definitely need the support of blacksmiths. Those big guilds have their own blacksmiths. But Master Lone Star, you are an independent player, so you definitely need a blacksmith. Our Shenji Camp is willing to cooperate with you, Master Lone Star, to help you provide equipment enhancement services..."
As he spoke, Prince Shenjiying's eyes gradually brightened.
The name Lone Star Destiny can be said to be one of the most famous players in the world of Dawn Era.
In the real world entertainment industry, it would be top-notch.
Blacksmiths are to players what stylists are to celebrities in the modern world.
When a stylist collaborates with top celebrities, his or her own value will naturally increase. For the same reason, if his Shenji Camp can establish a cooperative relationship with Lone Star Destiny, it will naturally bring huge profits...
After the prince of Shenjiying put forward his request, he looked at Gu Ming expectantly. He felt that Lone Star Destiny would definitely not refuse - there was no reason to refuse at all!
My Shenji Camp is also well-known in the Life Players Guild. I took the initiative to settle in Lone Star City and came to Lone Star Destiny. Could Lone Star Destiny still refuse?
He must be eager to cooperate with him!
At that time, he can also take the opportunity to make some demands...
However……
"Oh, sorry, I already have my own blacksmith." Gu Ming understood the intention of the prince of Shenji Camp and immediately rejected him.
As a high-level player, Gu Ming realized the importance of the blacksmith at the beginning of the game's server launch, and began to deliberately train Mapo Tofu as a blacksmith.
Now Mapo Tofu is already an intermediate blacksmith, one step away from the advanced level, and there is no need for the equipment enhancement service of Shenji Camp.
Of course, other players in Lone Star City also need the help of the blacksmith.
Gu Ming smiled and said to the prince of Shenji Camp: "But I still represent the players of Lone Star City. Thank you. If necessary, I can help you promote it."
"Have your own blacksmith? Great Lord Lone Star, our Shenji Camp now has five senior blacksmiths. I believe we are definitely more suitable than anyone else..." The prince of the Shenji Camp immediately became anxious and said quickly.
He came to Lone Star City because of the value of the title "Lone Star God's Exclusive Blacksmith"!
"Sorry." Gu Ming interrupted the prince of Shenjiying.
Equipment is very important to a player. For this kind of thing, Gu Ming still trusts his friends.
He didn't say any more to the prince of Shenjiying. He waved his hand and disappeared with a shadow flash.
"Great God Lone Star..." When the prince of Shenji Camp shouted, Gu Ming had disappeared.
His expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Someone actually beat me to it. Go and check, who is the forger that Great God Lone Star cooperates with?" the prince of Shenji Camp told his subordinates.
…
After Gu Ming left Lone Star City, he followed the mission instructions and plunged into the Dark Mountains.
The Dark Mountain Range is adjacent to the Dark Forest. It is a continuous and mysterious mountain. Although the area is not as large as the Sunset Mountain Range, it is not small.
After settling in Lone Star City, many players turned into backpackers and explored the Dark Mountains. However, the terrain here is extremely complex. If they are not careful, they may fall off the cliff and die, or get stuck in some nook and cranny, and in the end they can only commit suicide to escape.
There are many secrets buried in the Dark Mountains. If players are lucky, they can trigger some hidden tasks.
From settling in Lone Star City to now, it is said that there are still many places in the Dark Mountains that players have not been able to explore.
After Gu Ming received the exploration mission, the map only showed the general direction of the target location. If Gu Ming wanted to go there, he had to go there by himself.
Gu Ming can be said to be cautious along the way - he is the Lone Star Destiny Viewer and the top leader in the Dawn Era. He has never been defeated since the launch of the server and is invincible. If this damn guy climbs a mountain and falls to death, he will be embarrassed to see others. !
Fortunately, after two or three hours of trekking, we finally found the target location.
"The Tyrannosaurus rex mount is not easy to use in a place like this that requires climbing mountains... Damn, I really look forward to unlocking the flying mount as soon as possible." Gu Ming couldn't help but think.
People are always dissatisfied. With the land mount, he is now thinking about the flying mount.
However, it seems that the flying mount cannot be unlocked until level 40 or 50, so I just have to think about it now.
What appeared in front of Gu Ming at this moment was a mysterious village hidden deep in the mountains.
When Gu Ming set foot here, he immediately received a system prompt.
"Reminder: You have stepped into the troll village of the Black Scythe clan.
This place was originally a paradise established by the great leader of the Black Scythe clan, but later, the power of the abyss appeared here, and the breath from the abyss contaminated some troll warriors, causing them to degenerate into dark trolls...
Fortunately, a powerful ranger appeared, sealed the fallen trolls, and helped the untainted trolls find a new tribal gathering place..."
"The Black Scythe Clan? The troll tribe that Dan Fried Rice is attacking is the Black Scythe Clan!" Gu Ming looked at this description and couldn't help but whisper to himself.
The troll tribe now on the edge of the dark forest seems to come from this troll village. It is a tribal gathering place established by those uncontaminated trolls with the help of the mysterious ranger.
The exploration mission I received was indeed related to the troll tribe!
Gu Ming was thinking about entering the troll village.
It's dead quiet here, the ground is covered with weeds, and there's an eerie atmosphere.
The most terrifying thing is that you can see ferocious stone statues of trolls everywhere in this village - these are the sealed dark trolls.
"The investigation mission is to find out the truth about the mutation here. What exactly do I need to do?" Gu Ming looked around and muttered.
Just then, as he walked past a stone troll statue.
Knock, cracks suddenly appeared on the stone statue.
The shell peeled off, and a pair of malicious eyes opened and looked at Gu Ming...
