This attribute is enough to kill 90% of the players instantly, but this skill of mine is really an eyesore and has not been able to play any role so far.
"Warrior, you have become a pheasant killer, what a feat!"
Xu Youming originally had no plan to continue accepting tasks from the village chief. After all, the village chief's tasks were all prepared for players below level 3.
If you want to do high-level tasks, you need to go to the village to find other NPCs.
However, when Xu Youming passed by the village chief, the village chief took the initiative to talk to him, which made Xu Youming stop.
"Warrior, go to the village and look for Beggar Zhang. Maybe he will need your help."
The village chief smiled kindly at Xu Youming and motioned him to go find Beggar Zhang.
"Dude, where did you get this title? Can you tell me?"
The village chief took the initiative to talk to Xu Youming. Many people saw it and naturally knew that it was caused by the title Xu Youming had.
For a moment, everyone surrounded Xu Youming to ask about the title.
Xu Youming had already promised Qian Shijinsheng not to tell anyone about this matter, and he would naturally not break his promise. After all, he had received 2,000 Chinese yuan from him.
“No comment!”
After leaving these four words, Xu Youming squeezed out of the crowd and began to look for Beggar Zhang's location.
The novice village is not big. In addition to the village chief, there are more than a dozen NPCs, tailors, blacksmiths, taverns, hotels, and grocery stores.
The busiest place is the grocery store, which not only sells various basic weapons and equipment, but also basic herbs that can restore the body.
These herbs are unprocessed and can only restore a small amount of health, but this is enough in the Novice Village.
However, no matter what it is, it has one thing in common, which is that it is expensive.
A level 1 longsword, whose attribute is only 2 more attack points than the one given by the system, costs 80 coppers, which is equivalent to 40 Chinese yuan. In reality, this is enough for an ordinary person's daily food expenses.
But there are still groups of players buying it, and Xu Youming couldn't help but sigh that there are so many rich people.
While strolling in the village, he had seen more than one player fully armed, but the equipment was just junk bought from the grocery store.
It has to be said that the money ability of these players is still very useful. With the accumulation of various junk equipment, their attributes are not much worse than Xu Youming's.
Even in terms of health and defense, he is much better than Xu Youming, but in terms of attack, he is still a little behind Xu Youming.
After touring the entire Novice Village, Xu Youming finally found Beggar Zhang in a dilapidated thatched hut.
Beggar Zhang was hunched over, curled up on the thatch, wearing a tattered . If Xu Youming hadn't taken a few more glances, he might not have been able to find him.
"Beggar Zhang, the village chief asked me to come find you."
Xu Youming came to Beggar Zhang and tentatively stated his purpose.
Hearing this, the beggar opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Xu Youming with disdain.
"What's Beggar Zhang? You called him Beggar Zhang? Call him Uncle Zhang!"
Beggar Zhang has a somewhat eccentric temper and seems to be very dissatisfied with the title of Beggar Zhang.
However, when he saw the title above Xu Youming's head, his eyes suddenly narrowed and revealed a hint of wisdom.
“You became a pheasant killer?”
Beggar Zhang couldn't quite believe it, and finally began to look Xu Youming in the eye.
"Yes, a real pheasant killer."
Perhaps his guess was verified, Beggar Zhang showed an excited expression on his face, and grabbed Xu Youming's hands, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xu Youming withdrew his hands and communicated with Beggar Zhang using the method taught to him by Fatty.
Beggar Zhang did not respond to Xu Youming, but looked Xu Youming up and down excitedly, making Xu Youming feel uncomfortable.
However, Xu Youming knew that he might have come into contact with the so-called hidden mission, and he did not care about Beggar Zhang's behavior.
After a long time, Beggar Zhang's expression finally stabilized. He straightened his hunched back and looked calm and composed.
"Boy, I do need your help with something. As long as you can help me complete it, I will give you an unexpected reward."
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Seeing that the other party finally started to assign tasks, Xu Youming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be so impatient. You won't suffer any harm if you deal with beggars."
As if seeing what Xu Youming was thinking, Beggar Zhang smiled slightly.
"I have been looking for a chicken heart stone. This thing is only found in low-level pheasants. You have the title of pheasant killer, so you are the most suitable person. Go and help me find the chicken heart stone."
After saying that, Beggar Zhang stared at Xu Youming with a smile.
"good!"
[Ding, you accept the special mission from Beggar Zhang: Find the Chicken Heart Stone]
After accepting the task, Xu Youming left the thatched hut directly, leaving behind the beggar Zhang with a smile on his face.
As soon as Xu Youming walked out of the thatched hut, he was stopped by a group of players. They were all level 3 or 4 , which was considered a strong force in the Novice Village.
"Boy, I'll give you a chance. Tell me how to take on this old man's mission, or I'll make you pay!"
Xu Youming glanced at the other person coldly, it turned out that he was here to cause trouble.
However, the other party seemed to have given up. They couldn't PK at all in the Novice Village. No matter how many people they had, it would be in vain.
“Get out of the way!”
Not wanting to bother with them, Xu Youming walked straight forward. Even if they didn't let him, he could still squeeze out. The system would not allow a human wall to form.
"Boy, we are from the Qinglong Gang. I advise you to be sensible, otherwise your mission may be ruined."
The player continued to threaten, trying to intimidate Xu Youming with the gang's reputation.
In front of the gang, ordinary players are indeed at a disadvantage.
"Quack! What else can you do besides yelling?"
If the other party had spoken to him nicely, Xu Youming would not have been so unkind. Even if he did not tell them the method, he could at least let them contact Qian Shijinsheng.
However, when they met, they spoke rudely and acted arrogantly, so Xu Youming naturally didn't tolerate them.
Because he is an orphan, Xu Youming has been in many fights since he was a child, and these kinds of gangster tactics are just what he has learned.
Seeing that Xu Youming was unmoved, several people felt a little embarrassed, but there was no way to PK in the Novice Village, so they could only watch Xu Youming go away.
