Knowing that Xiaoqian was the archaeologist's mission NPC, Gu Ming intuitively felt that there was something wrong here.
He immediately consulted the system: "In the Dawn Era, how many players have archaeologist identity cards?"
System: "You are the only one!"
Only Gu Ming obtained the identity card of an archaeologist!
In other words... this Xiaoqian NPC will only serve one player, Gu Ming!
According to Gu Ming's understanding, although the NPC Old Beggar often hangs out in Lone Star City, he is no longer involved in any quest line. Many players have tried their best to trigger his quest, but they have failed. Only Gu Ming can take it. To his mission...
Now an undead NPC has been added.
What kind of treatment is this!
It feels like I'm being treated specially.
Gu Ming, who was confused, approached the Xiaoqian NPC floating in the air, smiled and raised his hand to say hello: "We meet again, let's chat."
The alluring red-clothed undead immediately stopped when he saw Gu Ming approaching, and said with a lively and happy expression: "It's you! You rescued me from the enslavement of the poisonous ivy in the abyss. I didn't expect to meet you again so soon." …What should I call you?”
What do you call me?
Gu Ming thought for a moment: "Call me daddy."
Xiaoqian: "...please change your name."
Gu Ming: "Then...call me master?"
Xiaoqian: "..."
"Reminder: Players please do not tease NPCs!" A reminder appeared in front of Gu Ming again.
This made Gu Ming a little surprised. When he first met this undead NPC, he received a system prompt asking him not to molest the NPC, and now it's here again... He just uttered a few words and actually let the system Warning!
You must know that although the NPCs in the game are very intelligent, they are not so delicate - some players burned down the NPC's house, and the NPC was still laughing and applauding...
Twice in a row, this system prompt feels more like a human-made warning!
Gu Ming had a vague guess in his mind and tried to ask: "You are not the game GM, are you?"
GM refers to the game manager, a real person controls and plays the role of the game, and has high authority in the game world.
Xiaoqian's expression changed slightly and she smiled: "I don't know what you are talking about...how should I call you?"
It changed the subject somewhat abruptly.
Gu Ming stared at the NPC in front of him for two seconds, feeling that this might be a GM!
Is this the case with the old beggar? Although it was well disguised, the nature of LSP still made it look too different. Gu Ming had long been surprised that it was not an ordinary NPC.
Then the question arises, is he being targeted by the GM because he is too outstanding in the game?
Some of the tasks received from the old beggar also had in-depth developments, such as exploring the troll village, coincidentally catching up with Silla City to unlock the troll seal, and finally getting a bronze treasure chest, and the items in the box accidentally triggered the curse of the undead. Hidden tasks...
Gu Ming wanted to ask her a few more questions, but he knew that she would definitely not admit it, so he did not continue the topic and said, "Just call my name."
Xiaoqian: "Okay, Lone Star Destiny, although I was rescued by you, I have forgotten my past memories. Can you help me retrieve my memories?"
This is about to release the task.
Gu Ming: "How can I help you?"
Xiaoqian: "I do not belong to this era. My past is buried in those ancient tombs. If you can help me explore the ancient tombs, you may be able to find some clues about me, but before that, you should probably learn How to do archeology!"
"Reminder: You have received an archaeological mission, archaeological research!
Whether to accept? "
A system prompt appeared in front of Gu Ming. It seems that to become an archaeologist, you need to learn the [Archaeology] skill first, which is a special life skill.
In Age of Dawn, players can learn some special life skills, which have nothing to do with life occupations, but are very useful in daily tasks, such as [Dissection]. After learning it, kill wild monsters, and then dissect to obtain pieces of meat and bones. etc. food, materials and items.
[Archaeology] is also one of them. When entering tomb maps, there are various bonuses.
Gu Ming agreed immediately.
Xiaoqian: "Archaeology is a profound knowledge, and it is not easy to master it. The farmer of the 'Screaming Farm' in Yemu Town is very knowledgeable in this area. Maybe you can ask him for advice."
This reminds him to go to Nightfall to find the owner of Screaming Farm.
Gu Ming took over the task and turned around to leave.
The team of players who had previously been spawning monsters in the cemetery quickly gathered around after Gu Ming left.
"He actually triggered the mission just now!"
"It doesn't make sense. This Captain Mojin looks ordinary in appearance and equipment. It doesn't make sense that he can do it but we can't!"
"The way we triggered it must be wrong."
They vaguely heard the conversation between Gu Ming and the undead beside them, and they imitated each other.
"We meet again, let's chat." They raised their hands to say hello like Gu Ming did.
Xiaoqian: "I'm not free!"
After saying that, he turned around and floated away.
Monster Fighting Team: "...?"
…
Gu Ming rode on the Tyrannosaurus rex mount and soon arrived at Night Town.
Screaming Farm is located on the edge of Nightfall Town.
“Reminder: You’ve entered Screaming Farm.
The farmer here was originally very popular, but since his wife died, he has become more and more eccentric. People often hear screams coming from his farm, so it is also called the Screaming Farm. , it is said that he secretly hid his wife’s body and tried to resurrect her, so he was also called the corpse hider..."
Stepping into the farm area, Gu Ming saw a system prompt and a description of the place in front of him.
"Screaming Farm, corpse hider..." Gu Ming frowned.
This does not describe a good person...
The Screaming Farm is eerie and terrifying, with a cold mist everywhere. The crops in the fields have withered, and there are some pests flying around. These bugs themselves are neutral creatures, and they have no experience in killing them. Their health bars are only in single digits, but If the player gets close, they will actively attack the player. They are not threatening, but just as annoying as mosquitoes.
Almost no players come here to do tasks, and the area is very deserted.
Gu Ming followed the instructions and quickly found the farmer who was hiding the body.
Corpse Hider: "You also do research on archeology? Of course! I can give you my research notes, but you have to do me a little favor first and help me collect some things... Of course, this is just for research. , in archaeology.”
Before and after coming to the other party, the conversation can be triggered smoothly.
Gu Ming received the task: collect the ghoul's stomach bag (0/5), the skeleton crawler's teeth (0/10), and the ghost powder (5/5).
Among them, Gu Ming dropped 10 copies of the ghost powder when he killed the abyss poison ivy, so there is no need to collect it again.
"The stomach bag of a ghoul and the teeth of a skeleton crawler..." Gu Ming looked at the remaining two materials, using such evil things for archaeological research?
He looked up at the corpse hider again.
This corpse-hiding NPC is an old man with white hair and a pale face, and his eyes are bloodshot.
… He really doesn’t look like a good person.
What archaeological research, this corpse hider is trying to resurrect his wife!
The materials it requires are actually items to resurrect his wife.
Although a problem is found, the task still has to be done. Once the task is triggered, you must continue to do it. This is common sense, because it does not matter good or bad to the player... If there is a problem, just fight and it will be over!
